Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on specific circumstances.
[0133] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0134] 1 to 11 , according to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a hygroscopic component is provided, comprising a hygroscopic component 0121 and a fastener 0101; the hygroscopic component 0121 is interference-connected with the fastener 0101 so that the hygroscopic component 0121 can rotate with the fastener 0101.
[0135] The provision of the moisture-absorbing member 0121 absorbs moisture vapor from clothing, achieving the purpose of drying the clothing. The interference fit connection between the moisture-absorbing member 0121 and the fastener 0101 further enhances the connection strength between the two, preventing relative rotation between the two. This ensures that the moisture-absorbing member 0121 remains in the moisture-absorbing zone for a predetermined period of time, ensuring effective moisture absorption and regeneration. The interference fit connection between the moisture-absorbing member 0121 and the fastener 0101 enhances the connection strength and prevents dust generation caused by relative rotation and friction between the moisture-absorbing member 0121 and the fastener 0101, thereby preventing dust from contaminating clothing or damaging other components.
[0136] By providing an interference fit connection between the absorbent member 0121 and the fastener 0101, the number of components used is significantly reduced compared to the prior art, reducing manufacturing costs while facilitating assembly. The absorbent member of this embodiment has increased overall strength, allowing the thickness of the absorbent member 0121 to be reduced while maintaining good strength, further reducing costs and facilitating device miniaturization. Furthermore, the use of the foam ring gear 0114 and the foam core 0116, as in the prior art, is eliminated, reducing both material and assembly costs.
[0137] The moisture absorbing member 0121 is provided with a moisture absorbing agent for absorbing moisture. Examples of such agents include zeolite, modified / synthetic zeolite, molecular sieves (including but not limited to zeolite molecular sieves, A / X / Y molecular sieves, ZSM molecular sieves, Beta molecular sieves, etc.), polymeric moisture absorbing agents, alkali metal aluminosilicates (13X molecular sieves), lithium chloride, silica gel, modified silica gel, activated alumina, and other moisture absorbing materials. Polymeric moisture absorbing agents, also known as polymeric adsorbents, have a lower regeneration temperature than traditional silica gel, activated carbon, and molecular sieve adsorbents.
[0138] In one embodiment, the moisture absorbent member 0121 can be made of porous materials such as zeolite, molecular sieve, metal organic framework (MOF) material, covalent organic framework (COFs) material, nanocarbon, silicon dioxide, etc. In one embodiment, the moisture absorbent member 0121 can also be formed by filling granular solids or particles made of at least one of the above porous materials.
[0139] In one embodiment, the hygroscopic member 0121 may be a honeycomb or corrugated member carrying a hygroscopic agent, which can adsorb and desorb / desorb the absorbed water vapor to achieve repeated desorption and regeneration.
[0140] In one embodiment, the moisture absorbing member 0121 includes an inorganic / organic fiber carrier (e.g., ceramic, glass fiber, MOFs, COFs, cordierite, etc.), coated with a moisture absorbent such as a molecular sieve. The molecular sieve is evenly distributed between and on the surface of the fiber carrier to absorb moisture from the airflow. The molecular sieve may include single crystal molecular sieves or mixed crystal molecular sieves such as A-type molecular sieve, X / Y-type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, and Beta molecular sieve.
[0141] The fastener 0101 and the hygroscopic member 0121 are interference-connected in the axial and / or radial directions of the hygroscopic member 0121 , which can ensure good connection strength and prevent the fastener 0101 and the hygroscopic member 0121 from rotating relative to each other.
[0142] The fastener 0101 and the hygroscopic member 0121 may be interference-connected only in the axial direction of the hygroscopic member 0121, or may be interference-connected only in the radial direction of the hygroscopic member 0121, or may be interference-connected in both the axial and radial directions.
[0143] The fastener 0101 includes a core 0102 . A fixing hole is provided on the moisture-absorbing member 0121 . The core 0102 is inserted into the fixing hole to ensure the overall structural strength of the moisture-absorbing member 0121 .
[0144] The fixing hole is arranged at the center of the moisture-absorbing component 0121 .
[0145] Specifically, the fixing hole is coaxially arranged with the hygroscopic member 0121 , and the fixing hole penetrates the hygroscopic member 0121 along the axial direction of the hygroscopic member 0121 .
[0146] The core 0102 is inserted into the fixing hole along the axial direction of the fixing hole.
[0147] Specifically, the portion of the core 0102 inserted into the fixing hole is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the fixing hole.
[0148] More specifically, the portion of the core 0102 inserted into the fixing hole presses against the inner wall of the fixing hole in the radial direction of the fixing hole, thereby achieving an interference fit.
[0149] At least one fixing rib 0103 is provided on the core 0102, and the fixing rib 0103 extends radially along the fixing hole to abut or insert into the hygroscopic component 0121, so that the core 0102 and the hygroscopic component 0121 have an interference fit, thereby ensuring good connection strength between the hygroscopic component 0121 and the fastener 0101, and avoiding relative rotation between the hygroscopic component 0121 and the fastener 0101.
[0150] Among them, the fixing rib 0103 abuts against the inner wall of the fixing hole along the radial direction of the fixing hole, or is inserted into the inner wall of the fixing hole, that is, abuts against or inserts into the hygroscopic component 0121, which greatly enhances the connection strength between the hygroscopic component 0121 and the fastener 0101, so that the hygroscopic component 0121 and the fastener 0101 can rotate synchronously.
[0151] The number of the fixing ribs 0103 may be one, two or more.
[0152] The fixing ribs 0103 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the core 0102 to ensure that the fixing ribs 0103 are in full contact with the inner wall of the fixing hole, thereby improving the connection strength.
[0153] The core 0102 may be a roughly cylindrical structure, and the fixing ribs 0103 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical structure of the core 0102 and extend radially outward from the core 0102 .
[0154] There are multiple fixing ribs 0103, and the multiple fixing ribs 0103 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the core 0102, so that the torque on each fixing rib 0103 is the same, the hygroscopic component 0121 is more evenly stressed, reducing the probability of damage to the fixing rib 0103 and the hygroscopic component 0121, and ensuring a good service life.
[0155] The plurality of fixing ribs 0103 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the core 0102 , and each fixing rib 0103 extends radially toward the inner wall of the fixing hole, that is, extends radially outward from the core 0102 .
[0156] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the fixing ribs 0103 is four, and the four fixing ribs 0103 are evenly arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the core 0102 along the circumference of the core 0102, and each fixing rib 0103 extends toward the inner wall of the fixing hole along the radial direction of the fixing hole, that is, extends outward along the radial direction of the core 0102.
[0157] The fixing rib 0103 extends axially and radially along the fixing hole; the cross section of the fixing rib 0103 decreases radially outward from the fixing hole, making it easier for the fixing rib 0103 to be inserted into the inner wall of the fixing hole, facilitating assembly and forming an interference fit.
[0158] The cross-section of the fixing rib 0103 decreases radially outward from the fixing hole. This means that the end of the fixing rib 0103 away from the center of the core 0102 is angled, making it easier for the fixing rib 0103 to be inserted into the inner wall of the fixing hole. The thickness of the fixing rib 0103 at the end closest to the center of the core 0102 is greater than that at the end further away from the center, ensuring a high connection strength for the fixing rib 0103.
[0159] The fixing rib 0103 extends into a strip shape along the axial direction of the fixing hole. The fixing rib 0103 generally has a triangular prism structure.
[0160] The hygroscopic component also includes a rotating core 0116, at least a portion of the fastener 0101 is arranged on the first side of the hygroscopic component 0121, and at least a portion of the rotating core 0116 is arranged on the second side of the hygroscopic component 0121. The rotating core 0116 is connected to the fastener 0101 to clamp the hygroscopic component 0121 inside, which can further improve the stability of fixing the hygroscopic component 0121 and prevent the hygroscopic component 0121 from rotating compared to the fastener 0101 and the rotating core 0116.
[0161] The hygroscopic member 0121 is substantially a disc structure, and the first side and the second side of the hygroscopic member 0121 are respectively two sides along the thickness direction of the hygroscopic member 0121 .
[0162] The connection between the rotating core 0116 and the fastener 0101 can be a detachable connection.
[0163] The rotating core 0116 includes a first column 0117 and a cover 0118 . The first column 0117 is inserted into the fixing hole. The outer diameter of the cover 0118 is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole. The cover 0118 abuts against the second side of the moisture absorbent member 0121 .
[0164] The provision of the first column 0117 allows the rotary core 0116 to be positioned on the absorbent member 0121 and also provides radial positioning of the rotary core 0116. The provision of the cover 0118, with its outer diameter being larger than the diameter of the fixing hole, provides axial positioning of the absorbent member 0121 toward the first side, thereby securing the absorbent member 0121 between the fastener 0101 and the rotary core 0116.
[0165] The first column 0117 and the cover 0118 are integrally formed.
[0166] Among them, the first column 0117 is roughly cylindrical, and the cover 0118 is roughly disc-shaped.
[0167] Specifically, the first column 0117 and the cover 0118 are coaxially arranged.
[0168] The diameter of the first column 0117 is slightly smaller than or equal to the inner diameter of the fixing hole, so as to improve the positioning and limiting effects.
[0169] The core 0102 includes an outer ring body 0104 and a second column 0105. The outer ring body 0104 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the second column 0105. The first column 0117 and the outer ring body 0104 are abutted in the axial direction of the fixing hole. A through hole 0120 is opened on the first column 0117 and the cover body 0118 along the axial direction of the fixing hole, and the second column 0105 is passed through the through hole 0120.
[0170] By providing an outer ring 0104 and allowing the first column 0117 to abut against the outer ring 0104 in the axial direction of the fixing hole, axial positioning can be achieved, preventing excessive squeezing of the moisture absorbent member 0121 and damage to the moisture absorbent member 0121. By providing a second column 0105 and allowing it to pass through the through-hole 0120 formed in the first column 0117 and the cover 0118, the core 0102 and the rotating core 0116 can be connected and positioned.
[0171] The through hole 0120 is a through hole that axially penetrates the first column 0117 and the cover 0118 .
[0172] The first column 0117 , the cover 0118 and the through hole 0120 are coaxially arranged.
[0173] The second column 0105 is provided with an axial hole along the axial direction of the second column 0105 . Since the second column 0105 is disposed in the through hole 0120 , the axial hole also passes through the first column 0117 and the cover 0118 along the axial direction.
[0174] Among them, the outer ring body 0104, the second column 0105, the shaft hole, the first column 0117, the cover body 0118 and the through hole 0120 are coaxially arranged.
[0175] The sum of the axial length of the outer ring 0104 and the axial length of the first column 0117 is slightly less than or equal to the thickness of the hygroscopic member 0121 , so that the core 0102 and the rotating core 0116 can clamp the hygroscopic member 0121 .
[0176] The second column 0105 and the rotating core 0116 are clamped together by a clamping structure, which facilitates the connection and disassembly of the second column 0105 and the rotating core 0116.
[0177] The snap-fit structure is a latching tongue provided on the second column 0105 and a buckle provided on the rotating core 0116 .
[0178] Specifically, a latch tongue is provided on the second column 0105 , and a buckle is provided on the side of the rotating core 0116 facing the outer ring body 0104 , and the second column 0105 and the rotating core 0116 are connected with each other through the latch tongue and the buckle.
[0179] Specifically, the buckle can be set on the outer wall of the cover body 0118 close to the outer ring body 0104 and extend toward one side of the outer ring body 0104.
[0180] Specifically, there may be multiple latching tongues, which are evenly arranged along the circumference of the second column 0105, and the buckles and the latching tongues are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0181] More specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the tongues is three, and the number of the buckles is also three.
[0182] It is understandable that the snap-fit structure may also be a buckle provided on the second column 0105 and a tongue provided on the rotating core 0116 .
[0183] A connecting rib 0106 is provided between the outer ring body 0104 and the second column 0105, a first connecting hole 0107 is provided on the connecting rib 0106, a second connecting hole 0119 is provided on the rotating core 0116, the first connecting hole 0107 and the second connecting hole 0119 are arranged correspondingly, and the hygroscopic component also includes a connecting piece, which connects the rotating core 0116 to the core part 0102 through the first connecting hole 0107 and the second connecting hole 0119, thereby ensuring good connection strength between the core part 0102 and the rotating core 0116, and thereby clamping the hygroscopic component 0121.
[0184] Among them, the first connecting hole 0107 is a threaded hole, the second connecting hole 0119 can be a through hole or a threaded hole, and the connecting piece is a bolt, which passes through the second connecting hole 0119 and is threadedly connected to the first connecting hole 0107.
[0185] The connecting rib 0106 extends substantially in the radial direction of the second column 0105 .
[0186] There may be multiple connecting ribs 0106 , and the multiple connecting ribs 0106 extend radially along the second column 0105 and are evenly arranged circumferentially along the second column 0105 .
[0187] The first connection hole 0107 is provided on the connection rib 0106 along the axial direction of the second column 0105 .
[0188] The first connection hole 0107 and the second connection hole 0119 are arranged opposite to each other along the axial direction of the second column 0105 .
[0189] The fixing ribs 0103 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the outer ring body 0104 along the radial direction of the fixing hole, so that the fixing ribs 0103 can fully contact the hole wall of the fixing hole of the moisture absorbent member 0121.
[0190] The fixing ribs 0103 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the outer ring body 0104 along the radial direction of the fixing hole, and extend outward along the radial direction of the outer ring body 0104 .
[0191] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the fixing ribs 0103 is four, and the four fixing ribs 0103 are evenly arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the outer ring body 0104 along the circumference of the outer ring body 0104, and each fixing rib 0103 extends along the radial direction of the fixing hole toward the inner wall of the fixing hole, that is, extends outward along the radial direction of the outer ring body 0104.
[0192] Fastener 0101 includes a loop 0108 and a protective rib 0109. Loop 0108 is positioned on the outer periphery of core 0102, and protective rib 0109 is positioned between loop 0108 and core 0102 to connect them. Loop 0108, protective rib 0109, and core 0102 form an integrated structure. The loop 0108 and protective rib 0109 effectively absorb rotational torque, preventing damage to absorbent element 0121 caused solely by torque. The loop 0108 and protective rib 0109 also wrap around absorbent element 0121 from one side, providing protection for absorbent element 0121 during assembly, rotation, and transportation. By configuring the ring portion 0108, the protective rib 0109 and the core portion 0102 as an integrated structure, a higher structural strength is ensured for the whole structure and installation is also facilitated.
[0193] The ring portion 0108 and the protective rib 0109 are arranged on the second side of the moisture-absorbing component 0121, that is, on the opposite side of the rotating core 0116.
[0194] The ring portion 0108 and the protective rib 0109 are located in the same plane, and the plane is parallel to the outer wall of the moisture-absorbing component 0121 .
[0195] The ring portion 0108 is a circular structure, and is arranged to fit the edge of the moisture-absorbing member 0121 .
[0196] The protective rib 0109 is provided between the ring portion 0108 and the core portion 0102 , and is in contact with the second side outer wall of the moisture-absorbing component 0121 .
[0197] The outer wall of the ring portion 0108 and / or the protective rib 0109 facing the absorbent element 0121 is provided with a protrusion 0112. The protrusion 0112 abuts or inserts into the absorbent element 0121, creating an interference fit with the absorbent element 0121. This further strengthens the connection between the absorbent element 0121 and the fastener 0101, preventing relative rotation between the absorbent element 0121 and the fastener 0101. This ensures that the absorbent element 0121 remains in the moisture absorption zone for a predetermined period of time, ensuring good moisture absorption and regeneration. By achieving an interference fit between the absorbent element 0121 and the fastener 0101, the connection strength is enhanced, and dust generation due to relative rotational friction between the absorbent element 0121 and the fastener 0101 is prevented, thereby preventing contamination of clothing or damage to other components by the dust.
[0198] The protrusion 0112 may be a convex point.
[0199] The protrusion 0112 and the ring portion 0108 and / or the protective rib 0109 are integrally formed.
[0200] The protrusion 0112 extends perpendicularly to the end surface of the moisture-absorbing member 0121 in contact therewith.
[0201] The protrusion 0112 may be inserted into the end surface of the hygroscopic member 0121 or may be in close contact with the end surface of the hygroscopic member 0121 .
[0202] The protrusion 0112 may be provided only on the ring portion 0108 , or only on the protective rib 0109 , or may be provided on both the ring portion 0108 and the protective rib 0109 .
[0203] There are multiple protrusions 0112, and the multiple protrusions 0112 are evenly arranged on the ring portion 0108 along the circumference of the ring portion 0108, ensuring uniform force at all circumferential locations of the ring portion 0108 and avoiding damage to the moisture-absorbing component 0121.
[0204] In this embodiment, the number of the protrusions 0112 is twelve, and the twelve protrusions 0112 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the ring portion 0108 on the outer wall of the ring portion 0108 facing the moisture-absorbing member 0121.
[0205] The surface of the protrusion 0112 that contacts the moisture absorbent member 0121 is a spherical surface, which can avoid scratching the moisture absorbent member 0121.
[0206] Among them, the convex point is a hemispherical protrusion 0112.
[0207] Among them, the surface of the protrusion 0112 is smooth.
[0208] The protective ribs 0109 include radial ribs 0110 and circumferential ribs 0111. There are multiple radial ribs 0110, extending radially and circumferentially of the core 0102 to connect the core 0102 with the ring 0108. Circumferential ribs 0111 are provided on the outer circumference of the core 0102 and between the core 0102 and the ring 0108 to connect the multiple radial ribs 0110. The provision of radial ribs 0110 and circumferential ribs 0111 further disperses rotational torque, preventing damage to the absorbent member 0121 caused by the torque being borne solely by the absorbent member 0121 itself.
[0209] The protrusion 0112 and the end of the radial rib 0110 close to the ring portion 0108 are arranged opposite to each other in the radial direction.
[0210] The protrusions 0112 and the radial ribs 0110 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0211] Specifically, the number of the radial ribs 0110 is twelve, and the protrusions 0112 are arranged one by one on the ring portion 0108 on the radial outer side of one end of the radial rib 0110 close to the ring portion 0108 .
[0212] The hygroscopic member further includes a gear ring 0114; the gear ring 0114 cooperates with the fastener 0101 to secure the hygroscopic member 0121 between the gear ring 0114 and the fastener 0101. By providing the gear ring 0114 and the fastener 0101, and cooperating with the gear ring 0114 and the fastener 0101 to secure the hygroscopic member 0121 between the gear ring 0114 and the fastener 0101, the hygroscopic member 0121 can be securely secured. The engagement of the gear ring 0114 with the fastener 0101 facilitates assembly and disassembly of the gear ring 0114 and the fastener 0101.
[0213] The gear ring 0114 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the moisture absorbent member 0121 along the circumferential direction of the moisture absorbent member 0121 .
[0214] Specifically, the gear ring 0114 can be fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the moisture-absorbing component 0121 to further improve the connection strength.
[0215] The moisture-absorbing member 0121 may be disc-shaped, and the gear ring 0114 may be ring-shaped.
[0216] Specifically, the gear ring 0114 and the moisture-absorbing member 0121 are coaxially arranged.
[0217] The gear ring 0114 is connected to the outer gear ring, thereby driving the moisture absorbent component 0121 and the fastener 0101 to rotate synchronously.
[0218] Among them, a first clamping member 0113 is provided on the edge of the fastener 0101, and a second clamping member 0115 is provided on the edge of the gear ring 0114. The first clamping member 0113 and the second clamping member 0115 are clamped together.
[0219] The first clamping member 0113 may be a buckle, and the second clamping member 0115 may be a tongue. The buckle and the tongue are adapted to achieve clamping and fixing.
[0220] Specifically, the first clamping member 0113 is arranged along the axial direction of the fastener 0101 , and the second clamping member 0115 is arranged along the radial direction of the fastener 0101 , so that the second clamping member 0115 can extend into the first clamping member 0113 .
[0221] There are multiple first clips 0113, and the multiple first clips 0113 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the fastener 0101. The second clips 0115 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the first clips 0113, which can make the force on the ring gear 0114 and the fastener 0101 in the circumferential direction more uniform, avoiding damage caused by torque concentration.
[0222] In this embodiment, the number of the first clamping members 0113 and the number of the second clamping members 0115 are both six, and the first clamping members 0113 and part of the radial ribs 0110 are arranged opposite to each other in the radial direction of the fastener 0101 .
[0223] The first clamping member 0113 and the second clamping member 0115 are arranged on the outer peripheral side of the moisture absorbent member 0121, and can limit the moisture absorbent member 0121 in the radial direction of the moisture absorbent member 0121, thereby further improving the connection strength of the moisture absorbent member 0121.
[0224] The first clamping component 0113 is attached to the outer wall of the moisture absorbing component 0121 .
[0225] The first clamping component 0113 extends axially along the moisture-absorbing component 0121 .
[0226] The outer wall where the first clamping member 0113 meets the moisture-absorbing member 0121 may be arc-shaped and matched with the outer peripheral wall of the moisture-absorbing member 0121 .
[0227] In a second aspect of this embodiment, a drying module is provided, comprising the moisture absorbing component as described above.
[0228] Among them, the drying module also includes a shell, a fan, a regeneration module, etc. The fan, the desiccant component, and the regeneration module are arranged on the shell. The fan is used to introduce the gas to be dehumidified into the shell, the desiccant component is used to adsorb moisture, and the regeneration module is used to desorb moisture on the desiccant component.
[0229] In a third aspect of the present embodiment, a clothing processing device is provided, comprising the above-mentioned moisture absorbing component or the above-mentioned drying module.
[0230] Among them, the clothing processing equipment can be a washing and drying machine.
[0231] Referring to Figures 12 to 18, according to the fourth aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a shell 0201 is provided, which is applied to a drying module as described above or a clothing processing device as described above. The drying module includes a moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is arranged in the shell 0201. An integrally formed partition is protruded on the inner wall of the shell 0201 toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to separate the internal space of the shell 0201 into at least one functional area.
[0232] The moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 absorbs moisture from the air flowing into the housing 0201, thereby reducing humidity and drying clothes. By providing a partition on the inner wall of the housing 0201, along a direction toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, the interior space of the housing 0201 can be partitioned into at least one functional zone, resulting in a simple structure and easy assembly. Compared to the prior art method of providing a lower shell brush on the lower shell and causing the lower shell brush to contact and rub against the molecular sieve in the moisture absorption disc to separate the functional zones, this embodiment, by integrating the partition with the inner wall of the housing 0201, eliminates the need for numerous components, such as the lower shell brush. This reduces the number and variety of components used, easing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, compared to the prior art method of separating the functional zones by contacting and rubbing against the molecular sieve in the moisture absorption disc, this embodiment avoids or reduces the problem of dust generated by friction, thereby preventing the generated dust from being carried back into the washing chamber with the airflow and contaminating clothes, or from entering other components and causing component failure.
[0233] Among them, the functional areas separated by the partition part include one or more functional areas such as the moisture absorption area, the regeneration area 0214 and the like.
[0234] Specifically, in this embodiment, the internal space of the housing 0201 is at least separated into a moisture absorption zone by the partition.
[0235] The partition and the shell 0201 are an integrated structure.
[0236] The moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is a device with moisture absorption and dehumidification properties. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is provided with a moisture absorbent for absorbing moisture. The moisture absorbent may be, for example, zeolite, modified / synthetic zeolite, molecular sieves (including but not limited to zeolite molecular sieves, A / X / Y type molecular sieves, ZSM molecular sieves, Beta molecular sieves, etc.), polymeric dehumidifiers, alkali metal aluminosilicates (13X molecular sieves), lithium chloride, silica gel, modified silica gel, activated alumina, or other materials with moisture absorption properties. Polymeric dehumidifiers, also known as polymeric adsorbents, have a lower regeneration temperature than traditional silica gel, activated carbon, and molecular sieve adsorbents. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 may be made of porous materials such as zeolite, molecular sieves, metal organic framework (MOF) materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), nanocarbon, and silica. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can also be formed by filling granular solids or particles made of at least one of the above-mentioned porous materials. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can be a honeycomb or corrugated turntable carrying a desiccant, which can adsorb and desorb / desorb the absorbed water vapor to achieve repeated desorption and regeneration. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 includes an inorganic / organic fiber carrier (such as ceramics, glass fibers, MOFs, COFs, cordierite, etc.), and the fiber carrier is coated with a desiccant such as a molecular sieve. The molecular sieve is evenly distributed between the fiber carriers and on the surface of the fiber carrier to achieve adsorption of moisture in the airflow. The molecular sieve can include single crystal molecular sieves or mixed crystal molecular sieves such as type A molecular sieve, X / Y type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, and Beta molecular sieve.
[0237] As a feasible embodiment, the partition is arranged on the above-mentioned first shell 0202 and / or second shell 0209, and the partition is in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, thereby achieving a good sealing effect and preventing moist gas from escaping from the moisture absorption area to other positions of the shell 0201.
[0238] The partition can be provided only on the first shell 0202, thereby separating the moisture absorption zone on the first shell 0202. The partition can be provided only on the second shell 0209, thereby separating the moisture absorption zone on the second shell 0209. The partition can be provided on both the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209, with the partition located on the first shell 0202 and the partition located on the second shell correspondingly arranged in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. In other words, the chamber separated by the partition on the first shell 0202 and the chamber separated by the partition on the first shell 0202 are opposite to form a moisture absorption zone.
[0239] It should be noted that the contact between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 means that the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 are just in contact but no pressure or only very small pressure is generated between them, so as to avoid the generation of powder when the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 moves.
[0240] As another feasible embodiment, a partition is provided on the first housing 0202 and / or the second housing 0209, with a gap provided between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. This can also separate the moisture absorption zone. Furthermore, because the moisture flow rate is relatively high, a relatively small gap can ensure that most of the moisture is retained within the moisture absorption zone. The gap prevents the generation of powder due to friction between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216.
[0241] The partition can be provided only on the first shell 0202, thereby separating the moisture absorption zone on the first shell 0202. The partition can be provided only on the second shell 0209, thereby separating the moisture absorption zone on the second shell 0209. The partition can be provided on both the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209, with the partition located on the first shell 0202 and the partition located on the second shell correspondingly arranged in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. In other words, the chamber separated by the partition on the first shell 0202 and the chamber separated by the partition on the first shell 0202 are opposite to form a moisture absorption zone.
[0242] A gap of 0-5 mm is left between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0243] Specifically, in this embodiment, the gap between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can be 0.6-0.9 mm.
[0244] The partition portion includes at least two first partition units 0204 arranged on the first shell 0202 and / or at least two second partition units 0210 arranged on the second shell 0209, so as to separate the internal space of the shell 0201 into at least a moisture absorption zone and a regeneration zone 0214, thereby realizing moisture absorption and regeneration functions.
[0245] In this embodiment, two first partition units 0204 may be provided on the first shell 0202, and two second partition units 0210 may be provided on the second shell 0209. The two first partition units 0204 and the two second partition units 0210 divide the interior space of the shell 0201 into a moisture absorption zone and a regeneration zone 0214. Of course, three, four, or more first partition units 0204 may be provided on the first shell 0202, and simultaneously, three, four, or more second partition units 0210 may be provided on the second shell 0209, thereby dividing the interior space of the shell 0201 into more functional zones in addition to the moisture absorption zone and the regeneration zone 0214. The number of first partition units 0204, second partition units 0210, and functional zones may be specifically set according to actual needs and is not limited in this embodiment.
[0246] It is understood that the at least two first partition units 0204 on the first shell 0202 can also be divided into at least a moisture absorption zone and a regeneration zone 0214. The at least two second partition units 0210 on the second shell 0209 can also be divided into at least a moisture absorption zone and a regeneration zone 0214.
[0247] The shapes of the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209 in this embodiment can be designed according to the actual module structure of the washing machine, as long as they include at least two functional areas, the moisture absorption area and the regeneration area 0214, and the shape of each functional area can also be designed according to actual needs, and can be square, triangular, circular, etc., as long as the moisture absorption area and the regeneration area 0214 are isolated from each other and have a high degree of airtightness, the fan shape designed in this embodiment can make more effective and reasonable use of space. In addition, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is arranged between the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209 to play the moisture absorption and dehumidification function. This embodiment does not limit the shape of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. It can be a polygon such as a triangle or a square, or it can be a wheel shape as shown in Figure 16. The wheel-shaped moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 design can make the wheel circulate between the moisture absorption zone and the regeneration zone 0214. The part of the wheel that moves to the moisture absorption zone absorbs moisture in the circulating airflow, and then the part of the wheel that absorbs moisture moves to the regeneration zone 0214 to desorb moisture, and the part of the wheel after desorption moves to the moisture absorption zone again to absorb moisture, so as to remove moisture in the water vapor in this way, thereby achieving the effect of drying clothes. The setting of the first partition and the second partition makes the regenerated airflow and the wet circulating airflow independent of each other. The regenerated airflow can only enter the condenser and will not dissipate, so that dynamic sealing is achieved during the rotation of the wheel.
[0248] At least two first separation units 0204 extend radially along the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and are arranged circumferentially to separate the first moisture absorption zone 0206 and the regeneration module installation part 0207 on the first shell 0202; at least two second separation units 0210 extend radially along the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and are arranged circumferentially to separate the second moisture absorption zone 0213 and the regeneration zone 0214 on the second shell 0209; the first moisture absorption zone 0206 and the second moisture absorption zone 0213 are correspondingly arranged in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to form a moisture absorption zone; the regeneration module installation part 0207 and the regeneration zone 0214 are correspondingly arranged in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, which provides space for moisture absorption and regeneration operations, and also provides a stable installation space for the regeneration module.
[0249] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two first separation units 0204 extend radially along the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and are arranged circumferentially to separate the first moisture absorption zone 0206 and the regeneration module mounting portion 0207 on the first shell 0202, and the two second separation units 0210 extend radially along the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and are arranged circumferentially to separate the second moisture absorption zone 0213 and the regeneration zone 0214 on the second shell 0209.
[0250] Among them, the volume of the moisture absorption zone is greater than the volume of the regeneration zone 0214.
[0251] The first partition unit 0204 and the second partition unit 0210 may be protruding bosses or ribs.
[0252] Specifically, the first separation unit 0204 can be a boss and rib integrally formed with the first shell 0202 and protruding toward the second shell 0209, and the end faces of the protruding boss and rib are close to or in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to separate the moisture absorption zone and the regeneration zone 0214.
[0253] Specifically, the second partition unit 0210 can be a rib integrally formed with the second shell 0209 and protruding toward the first shell 0202, and the end surface of the protruding rib is close to or in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to separate the moisture absorption zone and the regeneration zone 0214.
[0254] Specifically, the first partition unit 0204 is formed on the bottom of the groove structure of the first shell 0202. The second partition unit 0210 is formed on the bottom of the groove structure of the second shell 0209.
[0255] It should be noted that the first partition unit 0204 and the second partition unit 0210 extend as a whole along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , but do not necessarily extend in a straight line along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0256] Regeneration module mounting portion 0207 provides a mounting location for the regeneration module, enabling it to desorb moisture from moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 within regeneration zone 0214. First moisture absorption zone 0206 and second moisture absorption zone 0213 are arranged axially with respect to moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216, forming a complete moisture absorption zone. Moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 absorbs moisture from the gas within the moisture absorption zone.
[0257] The first separation unit 0204 includes a separation boss protruding toward the second shell 0209, and the second separation unit 0210 includes a separation rib protruding toward the first shell 0202. The separation boss and the separation rib are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, which can at least separate the hygroscopic zone and the regeneration zone 0214, while also ensuring a high degree of sealing, reducing or blocking the flow of gas between the hygroscopic zone and the regeneration zone 0214.
[0258] The first partition unit 0204 is a boss integrally formed with the first shell 0202 and protruding toward the second shell 0209 .
[0259] Specifically, the bosses and ridges are formed on the bottom of the groove structure of the first shell 0202.
[0260] Specifically, the length direction of the partition boss can be roughly the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and the length direction of the partition boss can be roughly the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, that is, extending toward the second shell 0209.
[0261] Among them, the separation bosses and the separation ribs are roughly arranged in a one-to-one correspondence in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0262] An exhaust port 0203 is provided on the first shell 0202, and the wall surface on the separating boss facing the hygroscopic zone is a separating surface 0205. A section of the separating surface close to the exhaust port 0203 is inclined toward the exhaust port 0203, thereby providing guidance for the exhaust of the hygroscopic zone, so that the gas in the hygroscopic zone converges toward the exhaust port 0203 and is then discharged, thereby reducing the exhaust wind resistance.
[0263] The separation surface is the windward surface of the separation boss, that is, the outer surface in direct contact with the gas.
[0264] Among them, the flow cross-sectional area of the exhaust port 0203 is smaller than the flow cross-sectional area of the moisture absorption zone. In the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and toward the exhaust port 0203, a section of the dividing surface close to the exhaust port 0203 gradually tilts toward the exhaust port 0203.
[0265] The section of the dividing surface close to the exhaust port 0203 is approximately a curved surface or a flat surface, and the section of the dividing surface close to the exhaust port 0203 gradually tilts toward the exhaust port 0203 , that is, gradually twists toward the exhaust port 0203 , thereby providing guidance for the airflow entering the exhaust port 0203 .
[0266] Specifically, taking the first shell 0202 being above the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and the second shell 0209 as an example, in the direction from bottom to top, a section of the dividing surface close to the exhaust port 0203 gradually tilts and twists toward the exhaust port 0203, so that the flow cross-sectional area on the air intake side of the exhaust port 0203 decreases from bottom to top.
[0267] There are two first separation units 0204. The separation surface 0205 of the first separation unit near the air inlet of the moisture absorption zone is a plane, and the separation surface 0205 of the first separation unit near the exhaust port 0203 is a curved surface extending radially along the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and a section near the exhaust port 0203 bends toward the exhaust port 0203.
[0268] The partition surface of the first partition unit 0204 near the exhaust port 0203 is set as a curved surface along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, which can further guide the exhaust of the moisture absorption area and facilitate gas discharge.
[0269] The length direction of the plane of the partition surface of the first partition unit 0204 close to the air inlet of the moisture absorption zone is roughly the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , and the width direction is roughly the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0270] The dividing surface of first dividing unit 0204 near exhaust port 0203 is generally S-shaped in the radial direction of moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. Because the flow cross-sectional area of exhaust port 0203 is smaller than that of the moisture absorption zone, the dividing surface near exhaust port 0203 gradually curves toward exhaust port 0203. The center of the dividing surface curves outward from the moisture absorption zone to increase the volume of the moisture absorption zone, thus forming an S-shape. This ensures a larger volume in the moisture absorption zone while further improving exhaust smoothness.
[0271] The partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 are arranged perpendicular to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, which can separate the moisture absorption area and the regeneration area 0214 while ensuring a good isolation effect, reducing the processing difficulty of the second shell 0209 and facilitating processing and manufacturing.
[0272] The length direction of the partition rib is roughly the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , and the width direction is the direction perpendicular to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , that is, the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0273] The cross section of the partition rib is approximately rectangular, that is, the partition rib is a rectangular rib.
[0274] The second shell 0209 is roughly in the form of a groove structure, and the partition ribs are formed on the bottom of the groove structure.
[0275] There are two second partition units 0210 . The partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the air inlet of the moisture absorption zone extend in a straight line, and the partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the air outlet 0203 extend in a broken line along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0276] The partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the exhaust port 0203 are arranged to extend in a broken line along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, which can further guide the exhaust of the moisture absorption area and facilitate gas discharge.
[0277] Among them, the partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the air inlet of the moisture absorption zone extend roughly in a straight line along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and the partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the exhaust port 0203 extend in a broken line along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0278] The partition ribs of the second partition unit near the exhaust port 0203 include a first section 0211 and a second section 0212. The first section 0211 and the second section 0212 are arranged along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and both extend in a straight line roughly along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. The windward surface of the first section 0211 and the windward surface of the second section 0212 are set at an angle greater than 180 degrees. The sharp angle formed by the first section 0211 and the second section 0212 faces the moisture absorption area, which can provide good guiding effect on the airflow.
[0279] Among them, the end of the first section 0211 close to the second section 0212 extends roughly toward the exhaust port 0203. Because the windward surface of the first section 0211 and the windward surface of the second section 0212 are set at an angle greater than 180 degrees, the end of the second section 0212 close to the exhaust port 0203 extends more toward the exhaust port 0203, thereby guiding the gas flow.
[0280] The end face of the partition rib close to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is flat and parallel to the end face of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, which can make the distance between the partition rib and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 consistent, or the partition rib is better connected with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 at all places, ensuring a good isolation effect and avoiding scratching the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to produce powder.
[0281] In this embodiment, the end surface of the partition rib close to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and the end surface of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 are both arranged horizontally.
[0282] A first flow guide 0208 is provided in the first shell. One end of the first flow guide 0208 is provided at the air inlet of the moisture absorption zone, and the other end is connected to the first separation unit. The first flow guide 0208 protrudes toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to separate a first transition zone 0217 in the first shell.
[0283] The first flow guide 0208 is in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 or a gap is provided between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0284] A second flow guide 0215 is provided in the second shell. One end of the second flow guide 0215 is provided at the air inlet of the moisture absorption zone, and the other end is connected to the second separation unit. The second flow guide 0215 protrudes toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to separate a second transition zone 0218 in the second shell.
[0285] The second flow guide 0215 is in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 or a gap is provided between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0286] The first flow guide 0208 and the second flow guide 0215 are correspondingly arranged in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, so that the first transition area 0217 and the second transition area 0218 are opposite to each other in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to form a transition area.
[0287] Among them, the transition zone is located in the hygroscopic zone.
[0288] An exhaust port 0203 is provided on the first shell 0202, one end of the first guide member 0208 is provided at the air inlet of the hygroscopic zone, and the other end extends in a straight line toward the exhaust port 0203, and one end of the second guide member 0215 is provided at the air inlet of the hygroscopic zone, and the other end extends in a straight line toward the exhaust port 0203. It can guide the gas entering through the air inlet so that the gas can enter the hygroscopic zone more quickly and then absorb moisture quickly.
[0289] Referring to Figures 19 to 23, according to the fifth aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a shell is provided, which is applied to a drying module as described above or a clothing processing device as described above, and a accommodating space is provided in the shell, and the accommodating space is used to set a moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. A contact portion is provided on the inner wall of the shell, and the contact portion protrudes from the inner wall of the shell toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and the contact portion abuts against the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0290] By arranging an abutment portion on the inner wall of the shell, and making the abutment portion protrude toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and making the abutment portion abut against the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can be made to slide in contact with the abutment portion when the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 rotates. Compared with the existing technology, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can avoid large-area contact with the inner wall of the shell, and the contact area is smaller, thereby reducing the friction force when the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 rotates, making the rotation smoother, avoiding the occurrence of problems such as locking, and ensuring the normal progress of the dehumidification operation.
[0291] The moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 can be driven to rotate in the accommodation space, that is, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 is rotatably disposed in the accommodation space and is in sliding contact with the abutting portion.
[0292] The accommodating space includes at least a dehumidification zone and a regeneration zone. The portion of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 in the dehumidification zone is used to absorb moisture and desorb moisture after rotating into the regeneration zone.
[0293] The abutting portion may be connected to the inner wall of the shell, or may be integrally formed with the shell.
[0294] The abutting portion protrudes from the inner wall of the shell toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , that is, the abutting portion is closer to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 than the inner wall of the shell.
[0295] The abutment portion is arranged on the inner wall of the shell opposite to the end face of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, so that the abutment portion can continue to abut against the end face of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 when the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 rotates, thereby avoiding large-area contact between the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and the inner wall of the shell, and can also provide a supporting effect to ensure that the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is more stable.
[0296] The moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is roughly a turntable-shaped structure. The moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 rotates around its own central axis. The end faces of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 are the two end faces of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 in the axial direction.
[0297] The shape of the accommodating space in the shell matches the shape of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0298] Specifically, the inner wall surface of the accommodating space opposite to the end surface of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is parallel to the end surface of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0299] More specifically, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 can be arranged horizontally, that is, the upper and lower end surfaces of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 are both arranged horizontally. The inner wall of the storage space above the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 is arranged opposite and parallel to the upper end surface of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. The inner wall of the storage space below the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 is arranged opposite and parallel to the lower end surface of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. The abutment portion can be provided on the inner wall of the storage space above or below the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216, and protrude toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216.
[0300] Moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 includes a moisture absorption member 0307 and a gear ring 0308, with the abutment portion contacting the gear ring 0308. This prevents the abutment portion from rubbing against the moisture absorption member 0307 and generating powder. Furthermore, gear ring 0308 is typically made of metal or plastic, resulting in a relatively smooth surface, further reducing friction between the abutment portion and moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0301] Among them, the ring gear 0308 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the moisture absorbing part 0307, and the abutting part and the ring gear 0308 are arranged opposite to each other in the axial direction of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying component 0216, so that the abutting part continues to abut against the ring gear 0308 when the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying component 0216 rotates.
[0302] Specifically, the gear ring 0308 can be a ring gear, the gear ring is annular, the hygroscopic member 0307 is disc-shaped, and the gear ring 0308 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the hygroscopic member 0307 along the circumference of the hygroscopic member 0307. The abutment portion extends toward the end surface of the gear ring 0308 and then abuts against the end surface of the gear ring 0308.
[0303] More specifically, in this embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is arranged horizontally, the gear ring 0308 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the upper half of the moisture absorption component 0307, and the abutment portion is arranged on the inner wall of the shell above the gear ring 0308 and protrudes downward from the inner wall.
[0304] Among them, the hygroscopic component 0307 can be a zeolite molecular sieve, A / X / Y type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, Beta molecular sieve, etc. The gear ring 0308 is coaxially arranged with the hygroscopic component 0307. The gear ring is connected to the power component in a transmission manner, so that the power component drives the hygroscopic component 0307 to rotate through the gear ring 0308, and the abutment portion abuts against the end face of the gear ring, where the end face refers to the outer wall along the axial direction of the gear ring.
[0305] The housing includes a first housing 0202 and a second housing 0209 that are interlocked with each other. The gear ring 0308 is arranged on a side close to the first housing 0202 , and the abutting portion is arranged on the inner wall of the first housing 0202 .
[0306] By configuring the housing to include a first housing 0202 and a second housing 0209 that interlock, installation of components within the housing, such as the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216, can be facilitated. By providing the abutment portion on the inner wall of the first housing 0202, stable abutment against the ring gear 0308 can be ensured, thereby ensuring stable rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216.
[0307] The first shell 0202 is located above the second shell 0209 .
[0308] The abutting portion is provided on an inner wall of the first housing 0202 that is opposite to and parallel to the gear ring 0308 and protrudes linearly downward.
[0309] Among them, the thickness of the ring gear 0308 is smaller than the thickness of the hygroscopic component 0307, and the ring gear 0308 is mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the hygroscopic component 0307 close to the first shell 0202, that is, the minimum distance between the ring gear 0308 and the first shell 0202 is smaller than the minimum distance between the ring gear 0308 and the second shell 0209.
[0310] The lower end of the abutting portion abuts against the upper end surface of the gear ring 0308 .
[0311] Second housing 0209 includes a first stepped groove 0303 and a second stepped groove 0304. Second stepped groove 0304 is formed at the bottom of first stepped groove 0303 to form at least a portion of the dehumidification zone. An abutment is provided at the bottom of first stepped groove 0303. The provision of first stepped groove 0303 allows second housing 0209 to be adapted to receive ring gear 0308. The provision of second stepped groove 0304 forms at least a portion of the dehumidification zone, providing space for dehumidification operation. By providing the abutment at the bottom of first stepped groove 0303, the abutment continuously contacts the end face of ring gear 0308 during rotation of moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216, thereby preventing extensive contact between member 0216 and the inner wall of the housing. Furthermore, the abutment provides support, ensuring more stable rotation of member 0216.
[0312] Among them, the edge of the second shell 0209 is connected to the first shell 0202, the inner side of the edge of the second shell 0209 is recessed to form a first stepped groove 0303, and the bottom of the first stepped groove 0303 is recessed to form a second stepped groove 0304 at the bottom of the first stepped groove 0303.
[0313] The first stepped groove 0303 and the second stepped groove 0304 are recessed toward the same side.
[0314] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first shell 0202 is located above the second shell 0209, and the first stepped groove 0303 and the second stepped groove 0304 are both recessed upward.
[0315] The abutment portion includes a plurality of abutment units 0302, which are arranged along the circumference of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can be in contact with the abutment units 0302 in the circumferential direction, avoiding the large-area friction between the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and the inner wall of the shell to increase the friction force, while also providing good support for the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, ensuring that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can rotate stably.
[0316] Among them, multiple abutment units 0302 are arranged in a ring shape on the inner wall of the shell, and the ring shape roughly matches the shape of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 or the first shell 0202. For example, if the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is circular, multiple abutment units 0302 can be arranged in a circular shape.
[0317] Specifically, in this embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is roughly circular, and the bottom of the first stepped groove 0303 of the first shell 0202 is also roughly annular. Multiple abutment units 0302 are arranged in a circle, and the circle is coaxially arranged with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, that is, the abutment part is coaxially arranged with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0318] More specifically, the circular shape of the plurality of abutting units 0302 matches the annular shape of the gear ring 0308 , so that the abutting units 0302 can abut against the end surface of the annular shape of the gear ring 0308 .
[0319] In one embodiment, a plurality of abutment units 0302 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 with the central axis of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 as the center, ensuring that they abut the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 in all directions, avoiding large-area friction between the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and the inner wall of the shell, further improving the supporting effect on the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and ensuring that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can rotate stably.
[0320] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the abutting units 0302 is six, the distances between adjacent abutting units 0302 in the circumferential direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 are the same, and the distances between each abutting unit 0302 and the center point of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 are the same.
[0321] In one embodiment, the plurality of abutting units 0302 are not evenly arranged along the circumference of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, but can be set at positions where the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 needs to be supported, to ensure a good supporting effect.
[0322] The abutting units 0302 have the same height, ensuring that the abutting units 0302 can fully contact the moisture absorption and dehumidification components 0216, thereby ensuring a good supporting effect.
[0323] The height of the abutting unit 0302 refers to the height of the abutting unit 0302 in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 .
[0324] The abutting units 0302 may be arranged in parallel.
[0325] Among them, all the abutting units 0302 are arranged in parallel and have the same length, so that each abutting unit 0302 is in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0326] One end of the abutting unit 0302 is connected to the bottom of the first stepped groove 0303 , and the other end extends linearly toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0327] The bottom of the first stepped groove 0303 is arranged parallel to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and the length direction of the abutting unit 0302 is perpendicular to the bottom of the first stepped groove 0303 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 respectively.
[0328] As a feasible implementation, the abutting unit 0302 includes a protrusion and extends toward the end surface of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, which can make the abutting unit 0302 easier to process and have higher structural strength.
[0329] The plurality of abutting units 0302 are arranged in parallel and have the same length, so that each abutting unit 0302 is in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, thereby ensuring that the supporting effect of the abutting units 0302 at various locations is the same.
[0330] The protrusion and the first shell 0202 can be integrally formed.
[0331] The end of the protrusion close to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is a curved surface, which can further reduce the friction between the protrusion and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and avoid scratching the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0332] Among them, the end of the protrusion close to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is an arc surface with a smooth surface.
[0333] As another feasible embodiment, the abutment unit 0302 includes a rolling element, which can be rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the shell and protrudes from the inner wall along the end face facing the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. The friction between the abutment unit 0302 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can be a rolling friction force, which further reduces the friction force, ensures the smooth rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and also provides a good support effect.
[0334] The rolling element may be a universal ball wheel, which can roll in all directions on the contact surface with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and provide good support, so that the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is more stable.
[0335] Specifically, the ball of the universal ball wheel collides with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and rolls on the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. The ball is connected to the inner wall of the shell through the limiting part of the universal ball wheel, specifically to the bottom of the first stepped groove 0303 of the first shell 0202.
[0336] The rolling element may be a roller, the rolling direction of which is tangent to the rotation direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and can also provide good support, so that the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is more stable.
[0337] Specifically, the wheel portion of the roller contacts the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and rolls on the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. The wheel is connected to the inner wall of the shell through the connecting part of the roller, specifically to the bottom of the first stepped groove 0303 of the first shell 0202.
[0338] Referring to Figures 24 to 32, according to the sixth aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a drying module is provided, which is applied to a clothing processing device as described above, including a shell 0201, in which an overflow channel 0418 and a dehumidification chamber 0419 are provided. The overflow channel 0418 is connected to the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber 0419, so that the gas can enter the dehumidification chamber 0419 through the overflow channel 0418, and a groove 0410 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 0201 at the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber 0419, so that the overflow cross-sectional area of the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber 0419 is larger than the overflow cross-sectional area of the overflow channel 0418.
[0339] By providing a dehumidification chamber 0419 within the housing 0201, a moisture-absorbing element can pass through its working position, thereby adsorbing moist air and achieving a drying effect. By providing a flow channel 0418 within the housing 0201, a path is provided for moist air to enter the dehumidification chamber 0419. By providing a groove 0410 on the inner wall of the housing 0201 at the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber 0419, the flow cross-sectional area of the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber 0419 can be made larger than the flow cross-sectional area of the flow channel 0418. Compared to existing drying modules, this increases the flow cross-sectional area at the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber 0419 without increasing the space occupied by the drying module. This increases the air intake volume, reduces wind resistance, and improves drying performance, shortens drying time, and increases drying efficiency.
[0340] The groove 0410 is recessed toward the side of the air inlet 0420 away from the dehumidification chamber 0419, thereby expanding the flow cross-sectional area.
[0341] The dehumidification chamber 0419 may be the chamber where the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is located, and the flow channel 0418 may be the channel between the dehumidification chamber 0419 and the air inlet 0420 of the shell 0201.
[0342] The wall of the dehumidification chamber 0419 is connected to the channel wall of the flow channel 0418 .
[0343] The flow cross-sectional area of the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber 0419 refers to the cross-sectional area of the air inlet 0420 for gas to flow through. The flow cross-sectional area of the flow channel 0418 refers to the cross-sectional area of the flow channel 0418 for gas to flow through.
[0344] The number of the grooves 0410 may be one or at least two, and the specific number is not limited in this embodiment.
[0345] At least a portion of the groove 0410 is arranged in the dehumidification chamber 0419, thereby ensuring that the entrance of the groove 0410 and the side of the groove 0410 close to the entrance have a larger flow cross-sectional area, thereby ensuring a larger air intake volume and further reducing wind resistance.
[0346] In this embodiment, at least half of the grooves 0410 are disposed in the dehumidification chamber 0419 .
[0347] The groove 0410 may be roughly in the shape of an elongated strip along the flow direction, and at least half of the groove 0410 away from the flow channel 0418 along the length direction may be arranged in the dehumidification chamber 0419 .
[0348] The groove 0410 includes a first guide surface 0411 , a bottom surface 0412 , and a second guide surface 0413 arranged in sequence along the flow direction. The first guide surface 0411 and the second guide surface 0413 are respectively arranged at an obtuse angle to the bottom surface 0412 .
[0349] By providing the first guide surface 0411 and the second guide surface 0413 and making the first guide surface 0411 and the second guide surface 0413 respectively set at an obtuse angle with the bottom surface 0412, a guiding effect can be provided when the gas flows through the groove 0410, further reducing the flow resistance and ensuring smooth flow of the gas.
[0350] The first guide surface 0411 , the bottom surface 0412 and the second guide surface 0413 are generally in the shape of a flared concave in the vertical cross section along the length direction.
[0351] When gas flows through groove 0410, it first flows over the surface of first guide surface 0411 on the upstream side of the flow direction, then flows to the surface of bottom surface 0412. It then flows over bottom surface 0412 and then flows over the surface of second guide surface 0413 in the flow direction. The aforementioned gas refers to the entire gas flowing through groove 0410; not all gas molecules flow along the surfaces of first guide surface 0411, bottom surface 0412, and second guide surface 0413.
[0352] The bottom surface 0412 may be a plane and parallel to the plane of the overall flow of gas in the flow channel 0418 or the dehumidification chamber 0419. For example, if the gas flows on a horizontal plane as a whole, the bottom surface 0412 may be horizontal.
[0353] As a feasible implementation, the first guide surface 0411 and the second guide surface 0413 are planes, which reduces the difficulty of processing and facilitates the molding and manufacturing of the shell 0201.
[0354] As another feasible implementation, the first guide surface 0411 and the second guide surface 0413 are arc surfaces, wherein the arc surfaces can be manufactured into a streamlined shape that is more conducive to airflow, which can further reduce wind resistance and ensure a good air intake effect.
[0355] Among them, the curved surface refers to a curved surface in the direction of gas flow, thereby reducing wind resistance.
[0356] Specifically, parameters such as the specific angle and length of the arc surface can be designed according to the actual air intake volume and air flow rate, that is, according to the actual parameters of the circulating fan. Guiding the gas flow through the arc surface is a relatively mature technical means and will not be elaborated here.
[0357] At least a portion of the first guide surface 0411 is arranged in the flow channel 0418, which can divert and guide the gas before the gas flows to the air inlet 0420 of the flow channel 0418 close to the dehumidification chamber 0419, further ensuring the smoothness of the gas flow, reducing wind resistance and increasing the air intake.
[0358] One end of the first guide surface 0411 away from the bottom surface 0412 passes through the air inlet 0420 and extends into the flow channel 0418 .
[0359] The shell 0201 includes a first shell 0202 and a second shell 0209. The first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209 are snap-fitted together. The flow channel 0418 and the dehumidification chamber 0419 are formed between the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209. The groove 0410 is set on the first shell 0202 and / or the second shell 0209.
[0360] By configuring the housing 0201 as a first housing 0202 and a second housing 0209 that can be interlocked, the installation of various components within the housing 0201 can be facilitated.
[0361] Among them, the first shell 0202 can also be called the upper shell 0201, and the second shell 0209 can also be called the lower shell 0201.
[0362] Among them, the second shell 0209 can be a groove-type structure, and the first shell 0202 can be set as a groove-type structure that is compatible with at least a portion of the second shell 0209. The opening of the first shell 0202 is engaged with the opening of the second shell 0209, thereby forming a cavity in the middle, and the flow channel 0418 and the dehumidification chamber 0419 are part of the cavity.
[0363] Specifically, after the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209 are fastened together, multiple cavities can be formed in the middle. The flow channel 0418 and the dehumidification cavity 0419 are two connected cavities, and of course can also be regarded as two parts of a cavity.
[0364] Specifically, the edge of the first shell 0202 is buckled onto a portion of the edge of the second shell 0209 to form an air inlet between the edge of the first shell 0202 and the inner bottom wall of the second shell 0209.
[0365] As a feasible implementation, the groove 0410 can be provided on the first shell 0202 , that is, on the inner wall of the upper shell 0201 , and can further be provided on the inner wall of the top surface of the upper shell 0201 .
[0366] As another feasible embodiment, the groove 0410 can be set on the second shell 0209, that is, on the inner wall of the lower shell 0201, and can further be set on the inner wall of the bottom surface 0412 of the lower shell 0201, or on the inner side wall of the lower shell 0201.
[0367] As another feasible embodiment, the groove 0410 can be simultaneously arranged on the inner walls of the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209, and can further be arranged on the inner wall of the top surface of the upper shell 0201 and the inner wall of the bottom surface 0412 of the lower shell 0201 and the inner side wall of the lower shell 0201.
[0368] In this embodiment, a first dehumidification chamber 0419 is provided on the first housing 0202, and a second dehumidification chamber 0419 is provided on the second housing 0209. The first dehumidification chamber 0419 and the second dehumidification chamber 0419 are arranged correspondingly to form the above-mentioned dehumidification chamber 0419. A groove 0410 is provided in the second housing 0209 at the entrance of the second dehumidification chamber 0419. That is, when the housing 0201 is arranged horizontally, the groove 0410 is provided on the inner bottom surface 0412 of the lower housing 0201 and is recessed downward to form the groove 0410.
[0369] The drying module includes a moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, which is arranged in the shell 0201. An integrally formed partition protrudes from the inner wall of the shell 0201 towards the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to separate at least a dehumidification chamber 0419 in the shell 0201.
[0370] The moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 absorbs moisture from the air flowing into the housing 0201, thereby reducing humidity and drying clothes. A partition is provided on the inner wall of the housing 0201, facing the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, to separate a dehumidification chamber 0419, thereby providing a dehumidification space for the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. Compared to the prior art method of providing a lower shell brush on the lower shell and causing the lower shell brush to contact and rub against the molecular sieve in the moisture absorption rotary disk to separate the dehumidification chamber 0419, this embodiment eliminates the need for a lower shell brush by integrating the partition with the inner wall of the housing 0201. The partition directly separates the dehumidification chamber 0419, thus avoiding the dust generation problem caused by the contact and friction between the lower shell brush and the molecular sieve in the moisture absorption rotary disk in the prior art. This prevents the generated dust from being carried back into the washing chamber with the airflow, contaminating clothes, or entering other components and causing component failure.
[0371] The partition and the shell 0201 are an integrated structure.
[0372] The moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is a device with moisture absorption and dehumidification properties. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is provided with a moisture absorbent for absorbing moisture. The moisture absorbent may be, for example, zeolite, modified / synthetic zeolite, molecular sieves (including but not limited to zeolite molecular sieves, A / X / Y type molecular sieves, ZSM molecular sieves, Beta molecular sieves, etc.), polymeric dehumidifiers, alkali metal aluminosilicates (13X molecular sieves), lithium chloride, silica gel, modified silica gel, activated alumina, or other materials with moisture absorption properties. Polymeric dehumidifiers, also known as polymeric adsorbents, have a lower regeneration temperature than traditional silica gel, activated carbon, and molecular sieve adsorbents. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 may be made of porous materials such as zeolite, molecular sieves, metal organic framework (MOF) materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), nanocarbon, and silica. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can also be formed by filling granular solids or particles made of at least one of the above-mentioned porous materials. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can be a honeycomb or corrugated turntable carrying a desiccant, which can adsorb and desorb / desorb the absorbed water vapor to achieve repeated desorption and regeneration. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 includes an inorganic / organic fiber carrier (such as ceramics, glass fibers, MOFs, COFs, cordierite, etc.), and the fiber carrier is coated with a desiccant such as a molecular sieve. The molecular sieve is evenly distributed between the fiber carriers and on the surface of the fiber carrier to achieve adsorption of moisture in the airflow. The molecular sieve can include single crystal molecular sieves or mixed crystal molecular sieves such as type A molecular sieve, X / Y type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, and Beta molecular sieve.
[0373] As a feasible embodiment, the partition is arranged on the above-mentioned first shell 0202 and / or second shell 0209, and the partition is in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, thereby achieving a good sealing effect and preventing humid gas from escaping from the dehumidification chamber 0419 to other positions of the shell 0201.
[0374] The partition may be provided only on the first shell 0202, thereby separating the dehumidification chamber 0419. The partition may be provided only on the second shell 0209, thereby separating the dehumidification chamber 0419. The partition may be provided on both the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209, with the partition located on the first shell 0202 and the partition located on the second shell correspondingly arranged in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. In other words, the chamber separated by the partition on the first shell 0202 and the chamber separated by the partition on the first shell 0202 face each other to form the dehumidification chamber 0419.
[0375] It should be noted that the contact between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 means that the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 are just in contact but no pressure or only very small pressure is generated between them, so as to avoid the generation of powder when the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 moves.
[0376] As another feasible embodiment, a partition is provided on the first housing 0202 and / or the second housing 0209, and a gap is provided between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216, thereby also separating the dehumidification chamber 0419. Moreover, because the flow rate of the humid gas is relatively fast, a relatively small gap can ensure that most of the humid gas is located within the dehumidification chamber 0419. The provision of the gap can prevent the generation of powder due to friction between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216.
[0377] The partition may be provided only on the first shell 0202, thereby separating the dehumidification chamber 0419. The partition may be provided only on the second shell 0209, thereby separating the dehumidification chamber 0419. The partition may be provided on both the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209, with the partition located on the first shell 0202 and the partition located on the second shell correspondingly arranged in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. In other words, the chamber separated by the partition on the first shell 0202 and the chamber separated by the partition on the first shell 0202 face each other to form the dehumidification chamber 0419.
[0378] A gap of 0-5 mm is left between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0379] Specifically, in this embodiment, the gap between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can be 0.6-0.9 mm.
[0380] The partition portion includes at least two first partition units 0204 arranged on the first shell 0202 and / or at least two second partition units 0210 arranged on the second shell 0209, so as to divide the internal space of the shell 0201 into at least a dehumidification chamber 0419 and a regeneration zone, thereby realizing dehumidification and regeneration functions.
[0381] Specifically, two first partition units 0204 can be provided on the first shell 0202, and two second partition units 0210 can be provided on the second shell 0209, thereby dividing the interior space of the shell 0201 into a dehumidification chamber 0419 and a regeneration zone. Of course, three, four, or more first partition units 0204 can be provided on the first shell 0202, and simultaneously, three, four, or more second partition units 0210 can be provided on the second shell 0209, thereby dividing the interior space of the shell 0201 into more functional zones in addition to the dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration zone. The number of first partition units 0204, second partition units 0210, and functional zones can be specifically set according to actual needs and is not limited in this embodiment.
[0382] It is understood that the at least two first partition units 0204 on the first shell 0202 can also be divided into at least a dehumidification zone and a regeneration zone. The at least two second partition units 0210 on the second shell 0209 can also be divided into at least a dehumidification zone and a regeneration zone.
[0383] The shapes of the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209 in this embodiment can be designed according to the actual module structure of the washing machine, as long as they include at least two functional areas, the dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration area. The shape of each functional area can also be designed according to actual needs, and can be square, triangular, circular, etc., as long as the dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration area are isolated from each other and have a high degree of airtightness, the fan shape designed in this embodiment can make more effective and reasonable use of space. In addition, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is arranged between the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209 to play the moisture absorption and dehumidification function. This embodiment does not limit the shape of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. It can be a polygon such as a triangle or a square, or it can be a wheel shape as shown in Figure 16. The wheel-shaped moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 design can make the wheel circulate between the dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration zone. The part of the wheel that moves to the dehumidification chamber 0419 absorbs moisture in the circulating airflow, and then the part of the wheel that absorbs moisture moves to the regeneration zone to desorb moisture, and the part of the wheel after desorption moves to the dehumidification chamber 0419 again to adsorb moisture, so as to remove moisture in the water vapor in this way, thereby achieving the effect of drying clothes. The setting of the first partition and the second partition makes the regenerated airflow and the wet circulating airflow independent of each other, and the regenerated airflow can only enter the condenser and will not dissipate, so that dynamic sealing is achieved during the rotation of the wheel.
[0384] At least two first separation units 0204 extend radially along the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and are arranged circumferentially to separate the first dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration module installation part on the first shell 0202. At least two second separation units 0210 extend radially along the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and are arranged circumferentially to separate the second dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration zone on the second shell 0209. The first dehumidification chamber 0419 and the second dehumidification chamber 0419 are correspondingly arranged in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to form the dehumidification chamber 0419. The regeneration module installation part and the regeneration zone are correspondingly arranged in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, which provides space for dehumidification operations and regeneration operations, and also provides a stable installation space for the regeneration module.
[0385] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two first separation units 0204 extend radially along the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and are arranged circumferentially to separate the first dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration module installation portion on the first shell 0202, and the two second separation units 0210 extend radially along the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and are arranged circumferentially to separate the second dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration zone on the second shell 0209.
[0386] The volume of the dehumidification chamber 0419 is greater than the volume of the regeneration zone.
[0387] The first partition unit 0204 and the second partition unit 0210 may be protruding bosses or ribs.
[0388] Specifically, the first separation unit 0204 can be a boss and rib integrally formed with the first shell 0202 and protruding toward the second shell 0209, and the dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration zone are separated by the end faces of the protruding boss and rib approaching or contacting the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0389] Specifically, the second partition unit 0210 can be a rib integrally formed with the second shell 0209 and protruding toward the first shell 0202, and the dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration zone are separated by the end surface of the protruding rib approaching or contacting the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0390] Specifically, the first partition unit 0204 is formed on the bottom of the groove 0410 structure of the first shell 0202. The second partition unit 0210 is formed on the bottom of the groove 0410 structure of the second shell 0209.
[0391] It should be noted that the first partition unit 0204 and the second partition unit 0210 extend as a whole along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , but do not necessarily extend in a straight line along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0392] The regeneration module mounting portion provides a mounting location for the regeneration module, enabling it to desorb moisture from the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 within the regeneration zone. The first dehumidification chamber 0419 and the second dehumidification chamber 0419 are correspondingly arranged axially with respect to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, forming a complete dehumidification chamber 0419. The moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 absorbs moisture from the gas within the dehumidification chamber 0419.
[0393] The first separation unit 0204 includes a separation boss protruding toward the second shell 0209, and the second separation unit 0210 includes a separation rib protruding toward the first shell 0202. The protruding separation boss and the separation ribs are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, which can at least separate the dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration zone, while also ensuring a high degree of sealing, reducing or blocking the flow of gas between the dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration zone.
[0394] The first partition unit 0204 is a boss integrally formed with the first shell 0202 and protruding toward the second shell 0209 .
[0395] Specifically, the bosses and ridges are formed on the bottom of the groove 0410 structure of the first shell 0202.
[0396] Specifically, the length direction of the separation boss may be roughly the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , and the length direction of the separation surface may be roughly the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , that is, extending toward the second shell 0209 .
[0397] Among them, the separation bosses and the separation ribs are roughly arranged in a one-to-one correspondence in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0398] An exhaust port 0203 is provided on the first shell 0202, and the wall surface of the dehumidification chamber 0419 on the dehumidification chamber partition boss facing the dehumidification chamber is a partition surface 0205. A section of the partition surface 0205 close to the exhaust port 0203 is inclined toward the exhaust port 0203, thereby providing guidance for the exhaust of the dehumidification chamber 0419, so that the gas in the dehumidification chamber 0419 converges to the exhaust port 0203 and is then discharged, thereby reducing the exhaust wind resistance.
[0399] The separation surface is the windward surface of the separation boss, that is, the outer surface in direct contact with the gas.
[0400] Among them, the flow cross-sectional area of the exhaust port 0203 is smaller than the flow cross-sectional area of the dehumidification chamber 0419. In the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and toward the exhaust port 0203, a section of the dividing surface close to the exhaust port 0203 gradually tilts toward the exhaust port 0203.
[0401] The section of the dividing surface close to the exhaust port 0203 is approximately a curved surface or a flat surface, and the section of the dividing surface close to the exhaust port 0203 gradually tilts toward the exhaust port 0203 , that is, gradually twists toward the exhaust port 0203 , thereby providing guidance for the airflow entering the exhaust port 0203 .
[0402] Specifically, taking the first shell 0202 being above the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and the second shell 0209 as an example, in the direction from bottom to top, a section of the dividing surface close to the exhaust port 0203 gradually tilts and twists toward the exhaust port 0203, so that the flow cross-sectional area on the air intake side of the exhaust port 0203 decreases from bottom to top.
[0403] There are two first partition units 0204. The partition surface of the first partition unit 0204 close to the dehumidification chamber air inlet 0420 is a plane, and the partition surface of the first partition unit 0204 close to the dehumidification chamber exhaust port 0203 is a curved surface extending along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and a section close to the exhaust port 0203 is bent toward the exhaust port 0203.
[0404] By setting the partition surface of the first partition unit 0204 close to the dehumidification chamber exhaust port 0203 as a curved surface along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, the exhaust of the dehumidification chamber 0419 can be further guided, which is beneficial for gas discharge.
[0405] The length direction of the plane of the partition surface of the first partition unit 0204 close to the dehumidification chamber air inlet 0420 is roughly the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , and the width direction is roughly the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0406] The partition surface of the first partition unit 0204 near the dehumidification chamber exhaust port 0203 is generally S-shaped in the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. Because the flow cross-sectional area of the exhaust port 0203 is smaller than that of the dehumidification chamber 0419, the partition surface near the exhaust port 0203 gradually curves toward the exhaust port 0203. The middle portion of the partition surface curves toward the outside of the dehumidification chamber 0419 to increase the volume of the dehumidification chamber 0419. This S-shape ensures a larger volume for the dehumidification chamber 0419 while further improving exhaust smoothness.
[0407] The partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 are arranged perpendicular to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, which can separate the dehumidification chamber 0419 and the regeneration area while ensuring a good isolation effect, reducing the processing difficulty of the second shell 0209 and facilitating processing and manufacturing.
[0408] The length direction of the partition rib is roughly the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , and the width direction is the direction perpendicular to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , that is, the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0409] The cross section of the partition rib is approximately rectangular, that is, the partition rib is a rectangular rib.
[0410] The partition ribs are formed on the bottom of the groove 0410 structure of the second shell 0209 .
[0411] There are two second partition units 0210. The partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the dehumidification chamber air inlet 0420 extend in a straight line, and the partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the dehumidification chamber exhaust port 0203 extend in a broken line along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and the sharp angle of the broken line faces the inside of the dehumidification chamber 0419.
[0412] By arranging the partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the dehumidification chamber exhaust port 0203 to extend in a fold line along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and with the sharp angle of the fold line facing the dehumidification chamber 0419, the exhaust of the dehumidification chamber 0419 can be further guided, which is beneficial for gas discharge.
[0413] Among them, the partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the dehumidification chamber air inlet 0420 extend roughly in a straight line along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and the partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the dehumidification chamber exhaust port 0203 extend in a broken line along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0414] Among them, the partition ribs of the second partition unit 0210 near the dehumidification chamber exhaust port 0203 include a first section 0211 and a second section 0212. The first section 0211 and the second section 0212 are arranged along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and both extend in a straight line roughly along the radial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. The windward surface of the first section 0211 and the windward surface of the second section 0212 are set at an angle greater than 180 degrees. The sharp angle formed by the first section 0211 and the second section 0212 faces the dehumidification chamber 0419, which can provide good guidance for the airflow.
[0415] Among them, the end of the first section 0211 close to the second section 0212 extends roughly toward the exhaust port 0203. Because the windward surface of the first section 0211 and the windward surface of the second section 0212 are set at an angle greater than 180 degrees, the end of the second section 0212 close to the exhaust port 0203 extends more toward the exhaust port 0203, thereby guiding the gas flow.
[0416] The end face of the partition rib close to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is flat and parallel to the end face of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, which can make the distance between the partition rib and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 consistent, or the partition rib is better connected with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 at all places, ensuring a good isolation effect and avoiding scratching the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to produce powder.
[0417] In this embodiment, the end surface of the partition rib close to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and the end surface of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 are both arranged horizontally.
[0418] A first flow guide 0208 is provided in the first shell 0202. One end of the first flow guide 0208 is provided at the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber, and the other end is connected to the first separation unit 0204. The first flow guide 0208 protrudes toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to separate a first transition zone 0217 in the first shell 0202.
[0419] The first flow guide 0208 is in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 or a gap is provided between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0420] A second flow guide 0215 is provided in the second shell 0209. One end of the second flow guide 0215 is provided at the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber, and the other end is connected to the second partition unit 0210. The second flow guide 0215 protrudes toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to separate a second transition zone 0218 in the second shell 0209.
[0421] The second flow guide 0215 is in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 or a gap is provided between the partition and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0422] The first flow guide 0208 and the second flow guide 0215 are correspondingly arranged in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, so that the first transition area 0217 and the second transition area 0218 are opposite to each other in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 to form a transition area.
[0423] The transition zone is located in the dehumidification chamber.
[0424] An exhaust port 0203 is provided on the first shell 0202, one end of the first flow guide 0208 is provided at the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber, and the other end extends in a straight line toward the exhaust port 0203, and one end of the second flow guide 0215 is provided at the air inlet 0420 of the dehumidification chamber, and the other end extends in a straight line toward the exhaust port 0203. It can guide the gas entering through the air inlet 0420, so that the gas can enter the dehumidification chamber more quickly and then absorb moisture quickly.
[0425] The drying module includes a circulating fan, which is used to drive the gas to flow into the shell 0201. The circulating fan includes a fan shell 0424. The shell 0201 includes the above-mentioned first shell 0202 and second shell 0209. The first shell 0202 and the fan shell 0424 are buckled on the second shell 0209. The first shell 0202 includes a first outer surface 0404, and the fan shell 0424 includes a second outer surface. A seal 0425 is sandwiched between the first outer surface 0404 and the second outer surface.
[0426] By installing a circulating fan, the gas to be dehumidified can be introduced into housing 0201, thereby achieving dehumidification. By fastening first housing 0202 and fan housing 0424 to second housing 0209, a flow channel 0418 and a dehumidification chamber 0419 are formed, providing a path for gas flow. The provision of first and second epitaxial surfaces provides a location for seal 0425, sandwiching it between the first and second epitaxial surfaces, ensuring a good sealing effect.
[0427] The fan housing 0424 and the second housing 0209 are fastened together to form a flow channel 0418 , and the first housing 0202 and the second housing 0209 are fastened together to form a dehumidification chamber 0419 .
[0428] The sealing member 0425 may be a sealing strip.
[0429] The first epitaxial surface 0404 and the second epitaxial surface are arranged in parallel and overlapped with each other, so that the sealing member 0425 can be firmly clamped therein, thereby preventing the sealing member 0425 from falling out and causing air leakage.
[0430] The first epitaxial surface 0404 and the second epitaxial surface are overlapped in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0431] Specifically, the first epitaxial surface 0404 and the second epitaxial surface may be arranged parallel to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0432] Specifically, the seal 0425 is arranged on the outer wall of the first epitaxial surface 0404, and the seal 0425 is arranged on the inner wall of the second epitaxial surface. After the first shell 0202 and the second shell 0209 are assembled, the seal 0425 can be pressed through the second epitaxial surface of the fan shell 0424, making the assembly steps more reasonable and ensuring good assembly efficiency.
[0433] The outer wall of the first epitaxial surface 0404 is the wall of the first epitaxial surface 0404 away from the flow channel 0418 .
[0434] The inner wall of the second epitaxial surface is the wall of the second epitaxial surface facing the flow channel 0418 .
[0435] Sealing grooves 0426 are provided on the outer wall of the first epitaxial surface 0404 and / or the inner wall of the second epitaxial surface. Sealing member 0425 is disposed within sealing grooves 0426, further enhancing the sealing effect and preventing seal member 0425 from falling out, thereby ensuring a good seal. In the prior art, the moisture absorption channel of the lower shell 0201 includes a bridge member for connecting and sealing the upper shell 0201 with the housing 0201 of the circulating fan. However, the provision of this bridge member hinders demolding of the lower shell 0201, increasing manufacturing difficulties. Compared to the prior art, the sealing grooves 0426 provided on the outer wall of the first epitaxial surface 0404 and / or the inner wall of the second epitaxial surface in this embodiment optimize the mold structure and facilitate mold forming.
[0436] In some feasible embodiments, the sealing groove 0426 can be provided on the outer wall of the first epitaxial surface 0404 or on the inner wall of the second epitaxial surface. In this embodiment, the sealing groove 0426 is provided on the outer wall of the first epitaxial surface 0404, which can facilitate assembly.
[0437] In some feasible embodiments, the first part of the sealing groove 0426 is opened on the outer wall of the first epitaxial surface 0404, and the second part of the sealing groove 0426 can be opened on the inner wall of the second epitaxial surface. The first part and the second part are interlocked to form the sealing groove 0426. The sealing member 0425 is arranged in the sealing groove 0426, which can also achieve a good sealing effect.
[0438] The drying module includes a moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 . An abutment portion is provided on the inner wall of the shell 0201 . The abutment portion protrudes toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and abuts against the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0439] By providing an abutment portion on the inner wall of the housing 0201, and making the abutment portion protrude toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 and abut against the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 can slide against the abutment portion with a smaller contact area when the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 rotates, thereby preventing the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 from contacting the inner wall of the housing 0201 over a large area. This reduces friction during rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216, making rotation smoother and ensuring normal dehumidification operation. Furthermore, the provision of the abutment portion allows the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 to rotate more smoothly, ensuring that the distance between the first and second partitions 0204 and 0210 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 is more constant during rotation. This ensures a good separation effect while further preventing the generation of powder from friction between the first and second partitions 0204 and 0210 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216.
[0440] The abutting portion may be connected to the inner wall of the shell 0201 , or may be integrally formed with the shell 0201 .
[0441] The abutting portion protrudes from the inner wall of the shell 0201 toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 , that is, the abutting portion is closer to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 than the inner wall of the shell 0201 .
[0442] The abutment portion abuts against the axial end face of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, so that the abutment portion can continue to abut against the end face of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 when the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 rotates, thereby avoiding large-area contact between the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and the inner wall of the shell 0201, and also ensuring that the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is more stable.
[0443] The moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is roughly a turntable-shaped structure. The moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 rotates around its own central axis. The end faces of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 are the two end faces of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 in the axial direction.
[0444] The abutting portion is provided on the inner wall of the shell 0201 opposite to the end face of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 .
[0445] Specifically, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 can be arranged horizontally, that is, the upper and lower end surfaces of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 are both arranged horizontally. The inner wall of the housing 0201 above the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 is arranged opposite and parallel to the upper end surface of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. The inner wall of the housing 0201 below the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 is arranged opposite and parallel to the lower end surface of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216. The abutment portion can be provided on the inner wall of the housing 0201 above or below the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216, and protrude toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216.
[0446] The moisture absorption and dehumidification component includes a moisture absorption member and a gear ring, with the abutment portion abutting against the gear ring. Moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 includes a moisture absorption member 01211 and a gear ring 0308, with the abutment portion abutting against the gear ring 0308. This prevents the abutment portion from rubbing against the moisture absorption member 01211 and generating powder. Furthermore, gear ring 0308 is typically made of metal or plastic, and has a relatively smooth surface, further reducing friction between the abutment portion and moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0447] Among them, the ring gear 0308 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the moisture absorbing part 01211, and the abutting part and the ring gear 0308 are arranged opposite to each other in the axial direction of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying component 0216, so that the abutting part continues to abut against the ring gear 0308 when the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying component 0216 rotates.
[0448] Specifically, the gear ring 0308 can be an annular gear ring, and the hygroscopic member 01211 is disc-shaped. The gear ring 0308 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the hygroscopic member 01211 along the circumference of the hygroscopic member 01211. The abutment portion extends toward the end surface of the gear ring 0308 and then abuts against the end surface of the gear ring 0308.
[0449] More specifically, in this embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is arranged horizontally, the gear ring 0308 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the upper half of the moisture absorption component 01211, and the abutment portion is arranged on the inner wall of the shell 0201 above the gear ring 0308 and protrudes downward from the inner wall.
[0450] Among them, the hygroscopic component 01211 can be a zeolite molecular sieve, A / X / Y type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, Beta molecular sieve, etc., and the gear ring 0308 can be coaxially arranged on the gear disc with the hygroscopic component 01211. The gear disc is connected to the power component in a transmission manner, so that the power component drives the hygroscopic component 01211 to rotate through the gear ring 0308, and the abutment portion abuts against the disc surface of the gear disc.
[0451] Among them, the thickness of the ring gear 0308 is smaller than the thickness of the hygroscopic component 01211, and the ring gear 0308 is mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the hygroscopic component 01211 close to the first shell 0202, that is, the minimum distance between the ring gear 0308 and the first shell 0202 is smaller than the minimum distance between the ring gear 0308 and the second shell 0209.
[0452] The second housing 0209 includes a first stepped groove and a second stepped groove. The second stepped groove is formed at the bottom of the first stepped groove to form at least a portion of the dehumidification chamber 0419. The abutment portion is disposed at the bottom of the first stepped groove. The provision of the first stepped groove enables the second housing 0209 to be adapted to receive the ring gear 0308 therein. The provision of the second stepped groove forms at least a portion of the dehumidification chamber 0419, providing space for dehumidification operation. The abutment portion disposed at the bottom of the first stepped groove ensures that the abutment portion continuously abuts against the end face of the ring gear 0308 during rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216, thereby preventing extensive contact between the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 and the inner wall of the housing 0201. Furthermore, the abutment portion provides support, ensuring more stable rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216.
[0453] Among them, the edge of the second shell 0209 is connected to the first shell 0202, the inner side of the edge of the second shell 0209 is recessed to form a first stepped groove, and the bottom of the first stepped groove is recessed to form a second stepped groove at the bottom of the first stepped groove.
[0454] The first stepped groove and the second stepped groove are recessed toward the same side.
[0455] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first shell 0202 is located above the second shell 0209, and the first stepped groove and the second stepped groove are both recessed upward.
[0456] The abutment portion includes a plurality of abutment units 03023, which are arranged along the circumference of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can be in contact with the abutment units 03023 in the circumferential direction, thereby avoiding large-area friction between the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and the inner wall of the shell 0201, and also providing good support for the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, ensuring that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 can rotate stably.
[0457] Among them, multiple abutment units 03023 are arranged in a circular shape on the inner wall of the shell 0201, and the circular shape is coaxially arranged with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, that is, the abutment portion is coaxially arranged with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0458] The abutting units 03023 have the same height, ensuring that the abutting units 03023 can fully contact the moisture absorption and dehumidification components 0216, thereby ensuring a good supporting effect.
[0459] The height of the abutting unit 03023 refers to the height of the abutting unit 03023 in the axial direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 0216 .
[0460] The abutting units 03023 may be arranged in parallel.
[0461] Abutment unit 03023 Abutment unit 03023
[0462] Among them, all the abutting units 03023 are arranged in parallel and have the same height, so that each abutting unit 03023 abuts against the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0463] Among them, one end of the abutment unit 03023 is connected to the bottom of the first stepped groove, and the other end extends linearly toward the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0464] The bottom of the first stepped groove is arranged parallel to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and the height direction of the abutting unit 03023 is perpendicular to the bottom of the first stepped groove and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 respectively.
[0465] More specifically, the circular shape of the plurality of abutting units 03023 matches the annular shape of the gear ring 0308 , so that the abutting units 03023 can abut against the end surface of the annular shape of the gear ring 0308 .
[0466] As a feasible implementation, the abutting unit 03023 is a protrusion, which can make the abutting unit 03023 easier to process and at the same time have higher structural strength.
[0467] Among them, the multiple protrusions are arranged in parallel and have the same height, so that each protrusion can be in contact with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, thereby ensuring that the supporting effect of the protrusions at each location is the same.
[0468] Among them, the end of the protrusion close to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is a curved surface, which can further reduce the friction between the protrusion and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and avoid scratching the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216.
[0469] The protrusion and the first shell 0202 can be integrally formed.
[0470] As another feasible implementation, the abutment unit 03023 is a rolling element, which can make the friction between the abutment unit 03023 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 a rolling friction, further reducing the friction, ensuring the smooth rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and also providing a good support effect.
[0471] The rolling element may be a universal ball wheel, which can roll in all directions on the contact surface with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and provide good support, so that the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is more stable.
[0472] Specifically, the ball of the universal ball wheel collides with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and rolls on the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. The ball is connected to the inner wall of the shell 0201 through the limiting part of the universal ball wheel, specifically to the bottom of the first step groove of the first shell 0202.
[0473] The rolling element may be a roller, the rolling direction of which is tangent to the rotation direction of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216, and can also provide good support, so that the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 is more stable.
[0474] Specifically, the wheel portion of the roller contacts the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216 and rolls on the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 0216. The wheel is connected to the inner wall of the shell 0201 through the roller's connecting piece, specifically to the bottom of the first stepped groove of the first shell 0202.
[0475] Please refer to Figures 33 to 38. The seventh embodiment of the present application provides a drying module 0501, which is applied to the clothing processing equipment as mentioned above, including a main shell 0524, a regeneration module 0502 and a wiring bracket 0537. The regeneration module 0502 includes a heating module 0504 arranged on the main shell 0524, and the wiring bracket 0537 is arranged on the main shell 0524 for fixing the wiring harness so that the wiring harness bypasses the heating module 0504.
[0476] The main housing 0524 is the base for installing components such as the regeneration module 0502 and the wiring bracket 0537, and serves to support and fix the various components. The regeneration module 0502 includes a heating module 0504 disposed on the main housing 0524. The heating module 0504 performs a heating action to dry the items being dried. The wiring bracket 0537 is disposed on the main housing 0524 and is used to fix the wiring harness on the drying module 0501 so that these wiring harnesses bypass the heating module 0504, thereby ensuring a spacing between the wiring harnesses and the heating module 0504, thereby avoiding contact between the wiring harnesses and the heating module 0504. This prevents the wiring harnesses from being burned by the heating module 0504 and causing malfunctions to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the service life of the wiring harnesses, helping to reduce costs, and ensuring the stable operation of the drying module 0501.
[0477] It is easy to understand that the wiring harness is fixed on the wiring bracket 0537. The position of the wiring bracket 0537 determines the direction of the wiring harness to a certain extent. The wiring bracket 0537 should be set away from the heating module 0504 to avoid the wiring harness from contacting the heating module 0504 after being installed on the wiring bracket 0537.
[0478] In certain embodiments, the shape of the wiring bracket 0537 is not limited in this application and the wiring bracket 0537 may be L-shaped. The wiring bracket 0537 may also be linear, curved, etc. The shape of the wiring bracket 0537 is related to the shape of the heating module 0504, the shape of the main housing 0524, the arrangement of the wiring harness, etc. The user can make an adaptive design based on the specific situation.
[0479] In certain embodiments, to ensure a more secure installation of the wiring bracket 0537, both ends of the wiring bracket 0537 are fixed to the main housing 0524, while the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537 is fixed to the main housing 0524. This design simultaneously secures both ends and the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537, ensuring a more secure connection between the wiring bracket 0537 and the main housing 0524, preventing the wiring bracket 0537 from shaking, providing more stable support for the wiring harness, and improving the stability of the wiring harness. Furthermore, the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537 is fixed to the main housing 0524. During installation, the wiring bracket 0537 can be positioned by first securing the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537, making installation easier. In other words, once the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537 is fixed to the main housing 0524, both ends of the wiring bracket 0537 are simultaneously positioned in their corresponding installation positions.
[0480] Of course, in other embodiments, the wiring bracket 0537 can be mounted on the main housing 0524 at both ends of the wiring bracket 0537, or at the middle of the wiring bracket 0537, or at one end of the wiring bracket 0537, etc. The wiring bracket 0537 can be mounted in various ways and is not specifically limited in this application. The only requirement is that, after being mounted on the main housing 0524, the wiring bracket 0537 can position the wiring harness and prevent contact between the wiring harness and the heating module 0504 of the regeneration module 0502.
[0481] In certain embodiments, to facilitate the positioning and installation of the wiring bracket 0537, a first blind hole 0528 is provided in the main housing 0524. The middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537 extends into the first blind hole 0528 to retain the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537. This design allows the entire wiring bracket 0537 to be retained in place on the main housing 0524, facilitating connection between the remaining portions of the wiring bracket 0537 and the main housing 0524.
[0482] In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of both ends of the wiring bracket 0537, a second blind hole 0527 is further provided in the main housing 0524, and the two ends of the wiring bracket 0537 are connected to the second blind hole 0527 via a locking member. In other embodiments, the two ends of the wiring bracket 0537 can also be connected to other screw holes in the main housing 0524 via a locking member, for example, by using other screws along the periphery to simultaneously secure the two ends of the wiring bracket 0537. Of course, in other embodiments, the wiring bracket 0537 and the main housing 0524 can also be connected together by welding, bonding, or other methods.
[0483] The locking member can have various structures. In some embodiments, when the inner wall of the second blind hole 0527 is provided with internal threads, the locking member is a bolt with external threads that match the internal threads. The ends of the wiring bracket 0537 are bent into a ring shape, and the ends of the wiring bracket 0537 are sleeved onto the bolts. During the process of threaded connection with the second blind hole 0527, the bolt gradually compresses the ends of the wiring bracket, thereby securing the wiring bracket 0537 to the main housing 0524. The locking member can also be a latch that has an interference fit with the second blind hole 0527. During the process of inserting the latch into the second blind hole 0527, the latch gradually clamps the ends of the wiring bracket 0537. The locking member can also be a magnet fixedly mounted at the bottom of the second blind hole 0527. The wiring bracket 0537 is made of metal, or magnetic members are provided at both ends of the wiring bracket 0537. The ends of the wiring bracket 0537 are inserted into the second blind hole 0527 and fixed by the magnets.
[0484] Compared with connecting the wiring bracket 0537 and the main shell 0524 by welding, bonding, etc., the present application realizes the connection between the wiring bracket 0537 and the main shell 0524 through the first blind hole 0528, so that the wiring bracket 0537 and the main shell 0524 can be detachably connected, which is more convenient when the main shell 0524 or the wiring bracket 0537 is damaged, or when fixing the wiring harness.
[0485] In some embodiments, the purpose of setting the first blind hole 0528 is to limit the middle part of the wiring bracket 0537. A circulating air chamber 0525 and a regeneration air chamber 0526 will be set in the main shell 0524. The setting of the second blind hole 0527 and the first blind hole 0528 can avoid penetrating the main shell 0524, thereby ensuring good air tightness of the main shell 0524.
[0486] In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537, the first blind hole 0528 can be a limiting groove, and the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537 is inserted into the limiting groove to limit the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537. The size of the limiting groove can be slightly smaller than the size of the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537, so that the middle portion of the wiring bracket 0537 can be clamped in the limiting groove. The design of the limiting groove reduces the difficulty of installing the wiring bracket 0537 and improves the installation efficiency of the wiring bracket 0537.
[0487] In certain embodiments, to mount a temperature sensor 0538 on the heating module 0504, the heating module 0504 includes a heating housing 0505 mounted on the main housing 0524. A blind mounting hole 0513 is provided on the heating housing 0505 for securing the temperature sensor 0538. Once the blind mounting hole 0513 is in place, the temperature sensor 0538 can be mounted on the heating housing 0505 of the heating module 0504 using bolts or other fasteners. The temperature of the heating module 0504 is detected by the temperature sensor 500, providing a reference for the operation of other modules on the drying module 0501. The blind mounting hole 0513 is designed as a blind hole to avoid penetrating the heating housing 0505, ensuring good airtightness of the heating housing 0505.
[0488] In certain embodiments, to facilitate the molding of the heating housing 0505 and ensure a high yield rate, the heating housing 0505 is constructed of an aluminum alloy and is cast, for example, by die-casting. Compared to conventional heater housings constructed of stainless steel sheet metal, sheet metal heater housings are less suitable for molding complex structures and have a high defect rate, resulting in poor sealing performance between the conventional heater housing and the regeneration air duct. In certain embodiments of the present application, by configuring the heating housing 0505 to be die-cast from an aluminum alloy, the yield rate is improved and the sealing performance between the heating housing 0505 and the regeneration air duct is ensured.
[0489] In certain embodiments, there may be one or more temperature sensors 0538. When multiple temperature sensors 0538 are provided, they may be mounted on the sidewall 0506 and / or skirt 0507 of the heating housing. Temperature sensors 0538 mounted on either the sidewall 0506 or skirt 0507 of the heating housing can both detect temperature. Therefore, blind holes 0513 may be mounted on the sidewall 0506 and / or skirt 0507 of the heating housing 0505.
[0490] In some embodiments, two temperature sensors 0538 are provided, and both temperature sensors 0538 are mounted on the skirt 0507 of the heating shell 0505 .
[0491] In certain embodiments, to ensure a tight seal between the heating housing 0505 and the main housing 0524, a first seal 0539 is provided between the heating housing 0505 and the main housing 0524. A third blind hole 0514 is provided in the heating housing 0505 for securing the first seal 0539. The third blind hole 0514 prevents penetration of the heating housing 0505, ensuring a good airtightness of the heating housing 0505. The provision of the first seal 0539 creates a sealed connection between the heating housing 0505 and the main housing 0524, preventing external liquids, dust, etc. from entering the heating housing 0505. It also prevents heat or gas within the heating housing 0505 from escaping through the gap between the main housing 0524 and the heating housing 0505, thereby ensuring a tight seal between the heating housing 0505 and the main housing 0524 and ensuring good drying performance of the drying module 0501.
[0492] In certain embodiments, to supply air to the heating module 0504, the regeneration module 0502 further includes a regeneration blower 0523 and a regeneration duct 0522. The regeneration blower 0523 is mounted on the main housing 0524, and the regeneration duct 0522 connects the regeneration blower 0523 and the heating housing 0505. Air is drawn into the regeneration duct 0522 by the regeneration blower 0523, then enters the heating housing 0505 through the regeneration duct, where it is heated by the heating element 0517 within the heating housing 0505. To ensure that the air flowing out of the regeneration blower 0523 fully enters the heating housing 0505 and to ensure adequate air flow to the heating housing 0505, the regeneration duct 0522 and the regeneration blower 0523, as well as the regeneration duct 0522 and the heating housing 0505, are hermetically connected.
[0493] Of course, in other embodiments, the sealed connection method can be various, for example, sealant can be applied to the connection between the regeneration air duct 0522 and the regeneration fan 0523, and the regeneration air duct 0522 and the heating shell 0505.
[0494] In certain embodiments, a second seal 0540 is provided between the regeneration duct 0522 and the regeneration blower 0523, ensuring a sealed connection between the two. A third seal 0541 is provided between the regeneration duct 0522 and the heating housing 0505. A fourth blind hole 0515 is provided in the heating housing 0505 for securing the third seal 0541. The second seal 0540 and the third seal 0541 ensure that gas flowing out of the outlet of the regeneration blower 0523 can fully enter the heating housing 0505. Furthermore, the fourth blind hole 0515 secures the third seal 0541, preventing gas from penetrating the heating housing 0505 and ensuring the airtightness of the heating housing 0505. Compared with the sealed connection method using sealant, the sealed connection using the second seal 0540 and the third seal 0541 makes it easier to disassemble the regeneration duct 0522 and the regeneration fan 0523, and the regeneration duct 0522 and the heating shell 0505.
[0495] In some embodiments, the second seal 0540 is annular and is mounted on the air outlet of the regeneration fan 0523. The regeneration air duct 0522 is plugged into the second seal 0540, so that the second seal 0540 compresses and seals the gap between the air outlet of the regeneration fan 0523 and the regeneration air duct 0522, thereby achieving a sealed connection between the regeneration fan 0523 and the regeneration air duct 0522.
[0496] In some embodiments, connecting through holes that are the same in number as and opposite to the fourth blind holes 0515 are provided on the side of the regeneration air duct 0522 near the heating shell 0505, and bolts are installed in the connecting through holes and the fourth blind holes 0515. During the process of bolting the fourth blind holes 0515 and the connecting through holes, the regeneration air duct 0522 is driven to press the third sealing member 0541 against the heating shell 0505, thereby causing the third sealing member 0541 to seal the gap between the regeneration air duct 0522 and the heating shell 0505, thereby ensuring a sealed connection between the regeneration air duct 0522 and the heating shell 0505.
[0497] In certain embodiments, in order to extend the sealing performance and service life of the first seal 0539, the second seal 0540, and the third seal 0541, at least one of the first seal 0539, the second seal 0540, and the third seal 0541 is a silicone seal. That is to say, among the first seal 0539, the second seal 0540, and the third seal 0541, one of them can be a silicone seal, or two of them can be silicone seals, or all three can be silicone seals. Conventional seals are composed of a rubber layer and a metal skeleton, while the present application uses a pure silicone seal, which can follow deformation at will and has good flexibility. At the same time, rubber is prone to aging, while pure silicone has good durability. The use of pure silicone helps to extend the service life of the drying module 0501 of the present application.
[0498] In certain embodiments, regeneration module 0502 includes a heating module 0504, a regeneration pipeline 0521, a regeneration air duct 0522, and a regeneration fan 0523. Specifically, heating module 0504 includes a heating housing 0505, a heating assembly 0516, and a partition 0519. Heating assembly 0516 includes a heating element 0517 and a heating partition fixture 0518. Heating housing 0505 has a receiving chamber 0508, an air inlet 0511, and an air outlet 0512. Partition 0519 is disposed within receiving chamber 0508 of heating housing 0505 to separate receiving chamber 0508 of heating housing 0505 into a first chamber 0509 communicating with air inlet 0511 and a second chamber 0510 communicating with air outlet 0512. Partition 0519 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 0520 communicating with first chamber 0509 and second chamber 0510. The heating and separation fixture 0518 is connected to the heating housing 0505 or the partition 0519 and is located within the second chamber 0510. The heating housing 0505 or the partition 0519 supports the heating and separation fixture 0518. The heating element 0517 is located within the second chamber 0510 and is accommodated by the second chamber 0510. The regeneration air duct 0522 is connected to the regeneration blower 0523 and the air inlet 0511. The molecular sieve is at least partially located between the regeneration line 0521 and the air outlet 0512.
[0499] In certain embodiments, the drying module 0501 provided herein is used in a clothing processing device. When the wet air flow in the drum of the clothing processing device reaches the molecular sieve, the molecular sieve absorbs the moisture in the wet air flow, turning the wet air flow into a dry air flow. The regeneration blower 0523 is started, and the regeneration air flow passes through the regeneration air duct 0522, the air inlet 0511, the first chamber 0509, and the vent 0520 in sequence into the second chamber 0510. In the second chamber 0510, the heating element 0517 heats the regeneration air flow. The heated regeneration air flow reaches the molecular sieve through the air outlet 0512, dehydrating and drying the molecular sieve portion located between the regeneration line 0521 and the air outlet 0512, thereby regenerating the molecular sieve portion located between the regeneration line 0521 and the air outlet 0512 so that the molecular sieve portion can continue to absorb moisture in the wet air flow. After the molecular sieve portion is dehydrated and dried, the regeneration air flow enters the regeneration line 0521.
[0500] In some embodiments, the molecular sieve may be 13X (sodium X type) molecular sieve. Of course, in other embodiments, the molecular sieve may also be replaced by one of zeolite, aluminum chloride, and silica gel.
[0501] In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the heating shell 0505, the projection of the ventilation hole 0520 at least partially overlaps with the heating element 0517, so that the regeneration airflow passing through the ventilation hole 0520 can contact the heating element 0517, ensuring that the heating element 0517 fully heats the regeneration airflow and improving the heating effect of the heating element 0517.
[0502] In certain embodiments, the drying module 0501 includes: a molecular sieve (not shown in the figure), a main shell 0524 and a circulating fan 0536. The main shell 0524 has a circulating air chamber 0525 and a regeneration air chamber 0526. The main shell 0524 is provided with a circulating air outlet duct 1023 connected to the circulating air chamber 0525. The regeneration air chamber 0526 is connected to the regeneration pipeline 0521 and the air outlet 0512. The molecular sieve is at least partially arranged in the regeneration air chamber 0526.
[0503] In some embodiments, when clothes need to be dried, the circulating fan 0536 is started, and the moisture in the wet air flow in the drum of the clothes processing equipment is adsorbed by the molecular sieve, so that the wet air flow is converted into a dry air flow. The dry air flow enters the circulating air chamber 0525 through the circulating fan 0536, and then enters the drum through the circulating air chamber 0525 to dry the clothes, thereby improving the drying efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
[0504] In certain embodiments, drying module 0501 further includes a circulating fan 0536. Both circulating fan 0536 and regeneration fan 0523 have electrical connection terminals 0542 that are electrically connected to other electrical connection terminals 0542. Drying module 0501 is provided with a terminal fixing bridge 0532 having a terminal fixing slot 240a for receiving and fixing electrical connection terminal 0542. This design allows the wiring harness in drying module 0501 to bypass the heating module, preventing contact between the wiring harness and the heating module. It also, to a certain extent, prevents the wiring harness from being burned by the heating module, potentially causing malfunctions, thereby ensuring stable operation of drying module 0501. At the same time, the electrical connection terminals 0542 on the drying module 0501 can be fixed on the terminal fixing connection bridge 0532, so that the electrical connection terminals 0542 on the drying module 0501 can be arranged neatly, and the internal circuit layout of the drying module 0501 is clearer, preventing random shaking and mutual entanglement during transportation, and to a certain extent avoiding the breakage of the connection between the electrical connection terminal 0542 and the wiring harness, which helps operators to install and repair.
[0505] In certain embodiments, to facilitate heat dissipation of the electrical connection terminal 0542, the terminal fixing bridge 0532 includes a plurality of spaced and connected fins. The terminal fixing slots 240a are defined on these fins, and the electrical connection terminal 0542 is simultaneously engaged in the terminal fixing slots 240a of the plurality of fins. This design facilitates heat dissipation of the electrical connection terminal 0542. The structure of the terminal fixing slots 240a is varied, and their shape and size are related to the shape and size of the electrical connection terminal 0542 and are not limited in this application.
[0506] In certain embodiments, to facilitate installation of the electrical connection terminal 0542 within the terminal fixing slot 240a, the terminal fixing slot 240a includes a fixing segment 0535 and a guide segment 0534. The guide segment 0534 is arranged at an angle. That is, the spacing between the guide segments 0534 gradually decreases from the side away from the fixing segment 0535 to the side closer to the fixing segment 0535. The fixing segment 0535 is used to clamp and secure the electrical connection terminal 0542, and the guide segment 0534 facilitates insertion of the electrical connection terminal 0542 into the fixing segment 0535.
[0507] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the number of parts of the drying module 0501 and facilitate the assembly of the drying module 0501 , the terminal fixing connecting bridge 0532 can be integrally formed with the main housing 0524 .
[0508] Of course, in other embodiments, the drying module 0501 can also be connected to the main shell 0524 by snap-fitting or bolting.
[0509] In certain embodiments, to facilitate the processing of drying module 0501, drying module 0501 further includes a circulation fan 0536. The main housing 0524 includes an upper cover 0529 and a bottom housing 0530. The bottom housing 0530 is integrally formed with the circulation fan 0536 and the regeneration duct 130 of the regeneration module 0502. The two ends of the terminal-fixed connecting bridge 0532 are respectively connected to the lower housing of the circulation fan 0536 and the regeneration duct 130 of the regeneration module 0502. The integral formation of the bottom housing 0530 of the main housing 0524, the circulation fan 0536, and the gas passage of the regeneration module 0502 helps reduce the number of parts in drying module 0501, facilitating the processing and manufacturing of drying module 0501 and reducing the difficulty of installation of drying module 0501. After the two ends of the terminal fixed connecting bridge 0532 are respectively connected to the circulation fan 0536 and the regeneration duct 130 of the regeneration module 0502, the terminal fixed connecting bridge 0532 is located between the circulation fan 0536 and the regeneration duct 130 of the regeneration module 0502. With this design, the gap between the circulation fan 0536 and the regeneration duct 130 is fully utilized, which helps to miniaturize the design of the drying module 0501.
[0510] In some embodiments, the circulation fan 0536 includes a circulation fan upper shell and a circulation fan lower shell. In these embodiments, the circulation fan lower shell, the bottom shell 0530 of the main shell 0524, the regeneration pipe 130 of the regeneration module 0502 and the fixed connecting bridge 240 are integrally formed.
[0511] In an eighth embodiment of the present application, a drying module 0501 is provided, comprising a main housing 0524 and a terminal fixing bridge 0532. The terminal fixing bridge 0532 is disposed on the main housing 0524 and has a terminal retaining groove 0533 for receiving and fixing an electrical connection terminal 0542. With this design, the electrical connection terminals 0542 on the drying module 0501 can be fixed to the terminal fixing bridge 0532, allowing the electrical connection terminals 0542 on the drying module 0501 to be neatly arranged, making the internal wiring layout of the drying module 0501 clearer, preventing the wiring harness from swaying and becoming entangled during transportation, and, to a certain extent, preventing breakage at the connection between the electrical connection terminals 0542 and the wiring harness, thereby facilitating installation and maintenance by operators.
[0512] Referring to Figures 39 to 46 , a ninth embodiment of the present application provides a heating assembly, comprising a heating element 0517 and a heating separation fixture 0518 for securing the heating element 0517. The heating element 0517 is bent and disposed within a receiving cavity 0508 of the heating housing 0505. The heating separation fixture 0518 has a plurality of slots 0618, into which the heating element 0517 is engaged.
[0513] Since the heating element 0517 and the heating separation fixing piece 0518 for fixing the heating element 0517 are bent and distributed in the accommodating cavity 0508 provided in the heating shell 0505, the heating element 0517 is easy to bend and arrange, so that the heating element 0517 can adapt to the accommodating cavity 0508, which is easy to arrange, and also makes the length of the heating element 0517 per unit area of the accommodating cavity 0508 large, thereby improving the heating efficiency. At the same time, the heating element 0517 is exposed, and its surface area is large, which increases the contact area and further improves the heating efficiency. Since the heating separation fixing piece 0518 has a plurality of slots 0618, the heating element 0517 It is clamped in the slot 0618, so the heating element 0517 is clamped in the slot 0618, and then the heating element 0517 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 0508 of the heating shell 0505 through multiple heating separation fixing members 0518 to achieve the fixation of the heating element 0517. No fixing card is required, which avoids affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517 and improves the heating / drying efficiency. At the same time, the groove walls of the multiple slots 0618 of each heating separation fixing member 0518 can support the heating element 0517, avoid prolapse of the heating element 0517, ensure the in-situ fixation of the heating element 0517, and improve the stability of the installation of the heating element 0517.
[0514] In certain embodiments, to enable the heating separation fixture 0518 to secure the heating element 0517 within the accommodating cavity 0508 of the heating housing 0505, the heating separation fixture 0518 includes a first fixing plate 0617 and a second fixing plate 0619. The first fixing plate 0617 is arranged radially relative to the accommodating cavity 0508 of the heating assembly 0516. The second fixing plate 0619 is arranged tangentially or circumferentially relative to the accommodating cavity 0508 of the heating assembly 0516. The first fixing plate 0617 is circumferentially secured to the second fixing plate 0619. There can be multiple first fixing plates 0617, and one or more second fixing plates 0619.
[0515] In some embodiments, the first fixing plate 0617 is arranged radially along the accommodating cavity 0508 of the heating component 0516, and the second fixing plate 0619 is arranged tangentially or circumferentially along the accommodating cavity 0508 of the heating component 0516, so that an angle is formed between the second fixing plate 0619 and the first fixing plate 0617, so that the second fixing plate 0619 can be connected to at least two first fixing plates 0617, thereby fixing multiple first fixing plates 0617.
[0516] In some embodiments, when the second fixing piece 0619 is arranged tangentially to the heating component 0516 receiving cavity 0508, the second fixing piece 0619 may be linear. When the second fixing piece 0619 is arranged circumferentially to the heating component 0516 receiving cavity 0508, the second fixing piece 0619 may be arc-shaped.
[0517] In some embodiments, a plurality of card slots 0618 are provided on the first fixing plate 0617, and the heating element 0517 is clamped in the card slots 0618, and then the heating element 0517 is fixed in the accommodating cavity of the heating shell through the plurality of first fixing plates 0617 to achieve the fixation of the heating element 0517. No fixing card is required, which avoids affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517 and improves the heating / drying efficiency. At the same time, the groove walls of the plurality of card slots 0618 of each first fixing plate 0617 can support the heating element 0517, avoid prolapse of the heating element 0517, ensure the in-situ fixation of the heating element 0517, and improve the stability of the installation of the heating element 0517.
[0518] In certain embodiments, in order to achieve circumferential associated fixation of the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 , the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 are plugged and fixed, so as to facilitate the connection between the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 .
[0519] In some embodiments, when there is only one second fixing piece 0619 , the second fixing piece 0619 can be plugged and fixed to each second fixing piece 0619 . To facilitate the arrangement of the heating element 0517 , the second fixing piece 0619 can be plugged and fixed to the end of each second fixing piece 0619 .
[0520] In some embodiments, when there are multiple second fixing pieces 0619, each of the plurality of second fixing pieces 0619 can be plugged and fixed to two adjacent first fixing pieces 0617. Of course, in other embodiments, one second fixing piece of the plurality of second fixing pieces 0619 can be plugged and fixed to the end of each first fixing piece 0617, and each of the remaining second fixing pieces can be plugged and fixed to two adjacent first fixing pieces 0617.
[0521] In some embodiments, in order to further fix the heating element 0517, the second fixing plate 0619 has a card slot 0618, and the heating element 0517 is clamped in the card slot 0618, and then the heating element 0517 is fixed in the accommodating cavity of the heating shell through the second fixing plate 0619 and multiple first fixing plates 0617 to achieve the fixation of the heating element 0517. No fixing card is required, which avoids affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517 and improves the heating / drying efficiency. At the same time, the groove walls of the second fixing plate 0619 and the multiple card slots 0618 of each first fixing plate 0617 can support the heating element 0517, avoid prolapse of the heating element 0517, ensure the in-situ fixation of the heating element 0517, and improve the stability of the installation of the heating element 0517.
[0522] Of course, in other embodiments, the heating element 0517 may not be compatible with the slot 0618 of the second fixing plate 0619, that is, the heating element 0517 will not be stuck in the slot 0618 of the second fixing plate 0619, and the slot 0618 of the second fixing plate 0619 can serve as the plug-in and fixation location of the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619, that is, the first fixing plate 0617 can be inserted into the slot 0618 of the second fixing plate 0619 to achieve the plug-in and fixation of the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619.
[0523] In some embodiments, when the heating element 0517 is not compatible with the slot 0618 of the second fixing plate 0619, the second fixing plate 0619 is staggered with the heating element 0517 to avoid the second fixing plate 0619 interfering with the arrangement of the heating element 0517, avoiding affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517, and improving the heating / drying efficiency.
[0524] Of course, in other embodiments, the second fixing plate 0619 may not have the slots 0618, and only the first fixing plate 0617 may have multiple slots 0618. Some of the slots 0618 of the first fixing plate 0617 are adapted to the heating element 0517, and the other part of the slots 0618 are plugged into and matched with the second fixing plate 0619 to achieve the plug-in fixation of the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619.
[0525] In some embodiments, multiple first fixing plates 0617 can be arranged at intervals, that is, there is a distance between each two adjacent first fixing plates 0617 to ensure the heat dissipation area of the heating element 0517, avoid affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517, and improve the heating / drying efficiency. At the same time, the number of first fixing plates 0617 can be reduced to reduce costs.
[0526] In certain embodiments, in order to achieve the fixation of multiple first fixing plates 0617, the second fixing plate 0619 is arranged at at least one of the central side, the circumferential side, and between the central side and the circumferential side of the distribution area, so that at least two first fixing plates 0617 are connected, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the first fixing plate 0617.
[0527] In some embodiments, the second fixing plate 0619 can be arranged only at one of the central side, the circumferential side, or between the central side and the circumferential side of the distribution area. The second fixing plate 0619 can be arranged at the central side and the circumferential side of the distribution area. The second fixing plate 0619 can be arranged at the central side of the distribution area and between the central side and the circumferential side. The second fixing plate 0619 can be arranged at the circumferential side of the distribution area and between the central side and the circumferential side. The second fixing plate 0619 can also be arranged at the central side, the circumferential side, or between the central side and the circumferential side of the distribution area.
[0528] In certain embodiments, in order to further ensure the stability of the installation of the first fixing plate 0617, when the second fixing plate 0619 is located on the center side of the distribution area, the second fixing plate 0619 and the multiple first fixing plates 0617 are all plugged and fixed, that is, the second fixing plate 0619 and the ends of the multiple first fixing plates 0617 are all plugged and fixed, so that the second fixing plate 0619 located on the center side of the distribution area will not affect the arrangement of the heating element 0517. At the same time, all the first fixing plates 0617 can be connected to achieve the fixation of the multiple first fixing plates 0617.
[0529] In certain embodiments, in order to further ensure the stability of the installation of the first fixing plate 0617, when the second fixing plate 0619 is located on the circumferential side or between the center side and the circumferential side of the distribution area, every two adjacent first fixing plates 0617 are plugged and fixed by the second fixing plate 0619, so that every two adjacent first fixing plates 0617 can be connected to achieve the fixation of multiple first fixing plates 0617.
[0530] In some embodiments, in order to further prevent the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 from affecting the heat dissipation of the heating element 0517, the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 are both mica sheets. Since mica sheets have good insulation and voltage resistance and high strength, they can be made into a smaller thickness. In other words, the thickness of the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 can be made smaller, so as to reduce the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 from encroaching on the arrangement space of the heating element 0517, reducing the impact on the heat dissipation of the heating element 0517, ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517, and improving the heating / drying efficiency. At the same time, due to the span of the length of the first fixing plate 0617, the first fixing plate 0617 can play a parallel fixing role on the heating element 0517, which can better realize the in-situ fixation of the heating element 0517 and further improve the stability of the installation of the heating element 0517.
[0531] In some embodiments, in order to achieve in-situ fixation of the heating element 0517, the number of first fixing plates 0617 is at least three, and every two adjacent first fixing plates 0617 are fixed by a second fixing plate 0619, so that every two adjacent first fixing plates 0617 can be connected to achieve fixation of multiple first fixing plates 0617.
[0532] In some embodiments, in order to further prevent the first fixing plate 0617 from affecting the heat dissipation of the heating element 0517, the spacing between the first fixing plates 0617 located on both sides of the accommodating cavity 0508 is smaller than the spacing between the first fixing plates 0617 located in the middle of the accommodating cavity 0508. In other words, the multiple first fixing plates 0617 are not arranged evenly at equal intervals, which can increase the heat dissipation area in the middle of the heating element 0517 as a whole, reduce the impact on the heat dissipation of the heating element 0517, ensure the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517, and improve the heating / drying efficiency.
[0533] In some embodiments, the heating element 0517 is an integrated heating element 0517, that is, the heating element 112 is a whole piece, and the heating element is bent and distributed in the installation area of the heating element 0517 to facilitate the arrangement of the heating element 0517.
[0534] In some embodiments, along the radial direction of the accommodating cavity 0508, the heating element 0517 is bent and evenly distributed in the accommodating cavity 0508, and is overall in a fan-shaped or fan-shaped ring shape consistent with the accommodating cavity 0508. This allows the heating element 0517 to adapt to the accommodating cavity 0508 and is easy to arrange. It also makes the length of the heating element 0517 per unit area of the accommodating cavity 0508 large, thereby improving the heating efficiency.
[0535] In some embodiments, both ends of the heating element have cables 0620 electrically connected to the heating element to supply power to the heating element so that the heating element can be electrically heated.
[0536] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the adaptation of the slot 0618 to the heating element 0517, the cross-sectional shape of the slot 0618 is U-shaped, that is, the slot 0618 has an opening. When the slot 0618 is to be adapted to the heating element 0517, the heating element 0517 can pass through the opening into the slot 0618 to achieve the connection between the slot 0618 and the heating element 0517, thereby facilitating the assembly of the heating element 0517.
[0537] Of course, in some other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the slot 0618 is annular, that is, the slot 0618 is closed. When the slot 0618 is to be adapted to the heating element 0517, the heating element 0517 can pass through the slot 0618 from the side of the first fixing member 11221 to achieve the connection between the slot 0618 and the heating element 0517.
[0538] The tenth embodiment of the present application provides a regeneration module 0502, including a heating shell 0505 provided with a accommodating cavity 0508 and the heating component 0516.
[0539] In certain embodiments, regeneration module 0502 further comprises: a heating module 0504, a regeneration pipeline 0521, a regeneration air duct 0522, and a regeneration fan 0523. Specifically, heating module 0504 comprises a heating housing 0505, a heating assembly 0516, and a partition 0519. Heating assembly 0516 comprises a heating element 0517 and a heating partition fixture 0518. Heating housing 0505 comprises a receiving chamber 0508, an air inlet 0511, and an air outlet 0512. Partition 0519 is disposed within receiving chamber 0508 of heating housing 0505 to separate receiving chamber 0508 of heating housing 0505 into a first chamber 0509 communicating with air inlet 0511 and a second chamber 0510 communicating with air outlet 0512. Partition 0519 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 0520 communicating with first chamber 0509 and second chamber 0510. The heating and separation fixture 0518 is connected to the heating housing 0505 or the partition 0519 and is located within the second chamber 0510. The heating housing 0505 or the partition 0519 supports the heating and separation fixture 0518. The heating element 0517 is located within the second chamber 0510 and is accommodated by the second chamber 0510. The regeneration air duct 0522 is connected to the regeneration blower 0523 and the air inlet 0511. The molecular sieve is at least partially located between the regeneration line 0521 and the air outlet 0512.
[0540] In certain embodiments, when the moist airflow within the drum of the laundry processing apparatus reaches the molecular sieve, the molecular sieve absorbs moisture from the moist airflow, converting it into a dry airflow. Regeneration blower 0523 is activated, and the regeneration airflow passes sequentially through regeneration air duct 0522, air inlet 0511, first chamber 0509, and vent 0520 into second chamber 0510. Within second chamber 0510, heating element 0517 heats the regeneration airflow. The heated regeneration airflow reaches the molecular sieve through air outlet 0512, dehydrating and drying the molecular sieve portion located between regeneration line 0521 and air outlet 0512. This dehydrates and dries the molecular sieve portion located between regeneration line 0521 and air outlet 0512, regenerating the molecular sieve portion so that it can continue to absorb moisture from the moist airflow. After dehydration and drying, the regeneration airflow enters regeneration line 0521.
[0541] In some embodiments, the molecular sieve may be 13X (sodium X type) molecular sieve. Of course, in other embodiments, the molecular sieve may also be replaced by one of zeolite, aluminum chloride, and silica gel.
[0542] In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the heating shell 0505, the projection of the ventilation hole 0520 at least partially overlaps with the heating element 0517, so that the regeneration airflow passing through the ventilation hole 0520 can contact the heating element 0517, ensuring that the heating element 0517 fully heats the regeneration airflow and improving the heating effect of the heating element 0517.
[0543] In certain embodiments, regeneration module 0502 further includes a condensation module 0604. Condensation module 0604 is in communication with regeneration pipeline 0521 and regeneration blower 140. After dehydrating and drying the molecular sieve portion, the regeneration airflow passes through regeneration pipeline 0521 and enters condensation module 0604. Condensation module 0604 condenses the regeneration airflow, converting the moisture in the regeneration airflow into water droplets. The regeneration airflow then passes through regeneration blower 140 and enters regeneration air duct 0522, where it continues to dehydrate and dry the molecular sieve portion between regeneration pipeline 0521 and air outlet 0512, ensuring a successful dehydration and drying effect.
[0544] Of course, in other embodiments, the regeneration module 0502 may not include the condensing module 0604. The regeneration pipeline 0521 and the regeneration fan 140 are both in communication with the outside.
[0545] 39 to 46 , an eleventh embodiment of the present application provides a heating partition fixing member 0518 , comprising: a plurality of first fixing plates 0617 . Each first fixing plate 0617 has a plurality of slots 0618 , which are adapted to the heating element 0517 for engaging the heating element 0517 .
[0546] Since each first fixing piece 0617 has multiple card slots 0618, the card slots 0618 are adapted to the heating element 0517 and are used to clamp the heating element 0517. Therefore, the heating element 0517 is clamped in the card slot 0618, and then the heating element 0517 is fixed in the accommodating cavity of the heating shell through multiple first fixing pieces 0617 to achieve the fixation of the heating element 0517. No fixing card is required, which avoids affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517 and improves the heating / drying efficiency. At the same time, the groove walls of the multiple card slots 0618 of each first fixing piece 0617 can support the heating element 0517, avoid prolapse of the heating element 0517, ensure the in-situ fixation of the heating element 0517, and improve the stability of the installation of the heating element 0517.
[0547] In certain embodiments, to secure multiple first fixing plates 0617, the heating partition fixing member 0518 further includes: at least one second fixing plate 0619, which is plugged and secured to at least two first fixing plates 0617, thereby connecting the at least two first fixing plates 0617 and ensuring the stability of the installation of the first fixing plates 0617. The number of second fixing plates 0619 can be one or more.
[0548] In some embodiments, when there is only one second fixing piece 0619 , the second fixing piece 0619 can be plugged and fixed to each second fixing piece 0619 . To facilitate the arrangement of the heating element 0517 , the second fixing piece 0619 can be plugged and fixed to the end of each second fixing piece 0619 .
[0549] In some embodiments, when there are multiple second fixing pieces 0619, each of the plurality of second fixing pieces 0619 can be plugged and fixed to two adjacent first fixing pieces 0617. Of course, in other embodiments, one second fixing piece of the plurality of second fixing pieces 0619 can be plugged and fixed to the end of each first fixing piece 0617, and each of the remaining second fixing pieces can be plugged and fixed to two adjacent first fixing pieces 0617.
[0550] In some embodiments, in order to further fix the heating element 0517, the second fixing plate 0619 has a card slot 0618, and the heating element 0517 is clamped in the card slot 0618, and then the heating element 0517 is fixed in the accommodating cavity of the heating shell through the second fixing plate 0619 and multiple first fixing plates 0617 to achieve the fixation of the heating element 0517. No fixing card is required, which avoids affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517 and improves the heating / drying efficiency. At the same time, the groove walls of the second fixing plate 0619 and the multiple card slots 0618 of each first fixing plate 0617 can support the heating element 0517, avoid prolapse of the heating element 0517, ensure the in-situ fixation of the heating element 0517, and improve the stability of the installation of the heating element 0517.
[0551] Of course, in other embodiments, the heating element 0517 may not be compatible with the slot 0618 of the second fixing plate 0619, that is, the heating element 0517 will not be stuck in the slot 0618 of the second fixing plate 0619, and the slot 0618 of the second fixing plate 0619 can serve as the plug-in and fixation location of the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619, that is, the first fixing plate 0617 can be inserted into the slot 0618 of the second fixing plate 0619 to achieve the plug-in and fixation of the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619.
[0552] In some embodiments, when the heating element 0517 is not compatible with the slot 0618 of the second fixing plate 0619, the second fixing plate 0619 is staggered with the heating element 0517 to avoid the second fixing plate 0619 interfering with the arrangement of the heating element 0517, avoiding affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517, and improving the heating / drying efficiency.
[0553] Of course, in other embodiments, the second fixing plate 0619 may not have the slots 0618, and only the first fixing plate 0617 may have multiple slots 0618. Some of the slots 0618 of the first fixing plate 0617 are adapted to the heating element 0517, and the other part of the slots 0618 are plugged into and matched with the second fixing plate 0619 to achieve the plug-in fixation of the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619.
[0554] In certain embodiments, to ensure the stability of the installation of the first fixing pieces 0617, the distribution area of the plurality of first fixing pieces 0617 is fan-shaped or fan-shaped, with the first fixing pieces 0617 arranged radially and the second fixing pieces 0619 arranged tangentially, so that an angle is formed between the second fixing pieces 0619 and the first fixing pieces 0617, so that the second fixing piece 0619 can be connected to at least two first fixing pieces 0617, thereby securing the plurality of first fixing pieces 0617. The second fixing pieces 0619 can be linear.
[0555] Of course, in other embodiments, to ensure the stability of the installation of the first fixing plate 0617, the first fixing plate 0617 is arranged radially and the second fixing plate 0619 is arranged tangentially and circumferentially. Alternatively, an angle may be formed between the second fixing plate 0619 and the first fixing plate 0617 so that the second fixing plate 0619 can be connected to at least two first fixing plates 0617, thereby securing multiple first fixing plates 0617. The second fixing plate 0619 may be arc-shaped.
[0556] In some embodiments, multiple first fixing plates 0617 can be arranged at intervals, that is, there is a distance between each two adjacent first fixing plates 0617 to ensure the heat dissipation area of the heating element 0517, avoid affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517, and improve the heating / drying efficiency. At the same time, the number of first fixing plates 0617 can be reduced to reduce costs.
[0557] In certain embodiments, in order to achieve the fixation of multiple first fixing plates 0617, the second fixing plate 0619 is arranged at at least one of the central side, the circumferential side, and between the central side and the circumferential side of the distribution area, so that at least two first fixing plates 0617 are connected, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the first fixing plate 0617.
[0558] In some embodiments, the second fixing plate 0619 can be arranged only at one of the central side, the circumferential side, or between the central side and the circumferential side of the distribution area. The second fixing plate 0619 can be arranged at the central side and the circumferential side of the distribution area. The second fixing plate 0619 can be arranged at the central side of the distribution area and between the central side and the circumferential side. The second fixing plate 0619 can be arranged at the circumferential side of the distribution area and between the central side and the circumferential side. The second fixing plate 0619 can also be arranged at the central side, the circumferential side, or between the central side and the circumferential side of the distribution area.
[0559] In certain embodiments, in order to further ensure the stability of the installation of the first fixing plate 0617, when the second fixing plate 0619 is located on the center side of the distribution area, the second fixing plate 0619 and the multiple first fixing plates 0617 are all plugged and fixed, that is, the second fixing plate 0619 and the ends of the multiple first fixing plates 0617 are all plugged and fixed, so that the second fixing plate 0619 located on the center side of the distribution area will not affect the arrangement of the heating element 0517. At the same time, all the first fixing plates 0617 can be connected to achieve the fixation of the multiple first fixing plates 0617.
[0560] In certain embodiments, in order to further ensure the stability of the installation of the first fixing plate 0617, when the second fixing plate 0619 is located on the circumferential side or between the center side and the circumferential side of the distribution area, every two adjacent first fixing plates 0617 are plugged and fixed by the second fixing plate 0619, so that every two adjacent first fixing plates 0617 can be connected to achieve the fixation of multiple first fixing plates 0617.
[0561] In some embodiments, in order to further prevent the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 from affecting the heat dissipation of the heating element 0517, the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 are both mica sheets. Since mica sheets have good insulation and voltage resistance and high strength, they can be made into a smaller thickness. In other words, the thickness of the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 can be made smaller, so as to reduce the first fixing plate 0617 and the second fixing plate 0619 from encroaching on the arrangement space of the heating element 0517, reducing the impact on the heat dissipation of the heating element 0517, ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517, and improving the heating / drying efficiency. At the same time, due to the span of the length of the first fixing plate 0617, the first fixing plate 0617 can play a parallel fixing role on the heating element 0517, which can better realize the in-situ fixation of the heating element 0517 and further improve the stability of the installation of the heating element 0517.
[0562] In some embodiments, in order to achieve in-situ fixation of the heating element 0517, the number of first fixing plates 0617 is at least three, and at least three first fixing plates 0617 are respectively arranged on both sides and the middle position of the entire heating element 0517. That is to say, the both sides and the middle position of the entire heating element 0517 will be adapted to the card slots 0618 of the first fixing plate 0617, so that the groove walls of the multiple card slots 0618 of each first fixing plate 0617 can support the both sides and the middle position of the entire heating element 0517, thereby preventing the heating element 0517 from prolapsing, ensuring the in-situ fixation of the heating element 0517, and further improving the stability of the installation of the heating element 0517.
[0563] In some embodiments, in order to further prevent the first fixing plate 0617 from affecting the heat dissipation of the heating element 0517, the spacing between the first fixing plates 0617 located on both sides of the heating element 0517 as a whole is smaller than the spacing between the first fixing plates 0617 located in the middle of the heating element 0517 as a whole. In other words, the multiple first fixing plates 0617 are not arranged evenly at equal intervals, which can increase the heat dissipation area in the middle of the heating element 0517 as a whole, reduce the impact on the heat dissipation of the heating element 0517, ensure the heat dissipation efficiency of the heating element 0517, and improve the heating / drying efficiency.
[0564] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the adaptation of the slot 0618 to the heating element 0517, the cross-sectional shape of the slot 0618 is U-shaped, that is, the slot 0618 has an opening. When the slot 0618 is to be adapted to the heating element 0517, the heating element 0517 can pass through the opening into the slot 0618 to achieve the connection between the slot 0618 and the heating element 0517, thereby facilitating the assembly of the heating element 0517.
[0565] Of course, in some other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the slot 0618 is annular, that is, the slot 0618 is closed. When the slot 0618 is to be adapted to the heating element 0517, the heating element 0517 can pass through the slot 0618 from the side of the first fixing member 11221 to achieve the connection between the slot 0618 and the heating element 0517.
[0566] The twelfth embodiment of the present application provides a regeneration module 0502, including a heating element 0517 and the heating separation fixing member 0518.
[0567] In certain embodiments, in order to improve the heating efficiency of the heating element 0517, the heating element 0517 includes a heating element that is bendable and exposed, thereby easily obtaining an overall configuration that is compatible with the installation area of the heating element 0517, facilitating the arrangement of the heating element 0517, and at the same time, also making the length of the heating element 0517 longer, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the heating element 0517.
[0568] In some embodiments, the heating element can be integrally formed, that is, the heating element is a whole piece, and the heating element is bent and distributed in the installation area of the heating element 0517 to facilitate the arrangement of the heating element 0517.
[0569] In some embodiments, both ends of the heating element have cables 0620 electrically connected to the heating element to supply power to the heating element so that the heating element can be electrically heated.
[0570] In certain embodiments, regeneration module 0502 further comprises: a heating module 0504, a regeneration pipeline 0521, a regeneration air duct 0522, and a regeneration fan 0523. Specifically, heating module 0504 comprises a heating housing 0505, a heating assembly 0516, and a partition 0519. Heating assembly 0516 comprises a heating element 0517 and a heating partition fixture 0518. Heating housing 0505 comprises a receiving chamber 0508, an air inlet 0511, and an air outlet 0512. Partition 0519 is disposed within receiving chamber 0508 of heating housing 0505 to separate receiving chamber 0508 of heating housing 0505 into a first chamber 0509 communicating with air inlet 0511 and a second chamber 0510 communicating with air outlet 0512. Partition 0519 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 0520 communicating with first chamber 0509 and second chamber 0510. The heating and separation fixture 0518 is connected to the heating housing 0505 or the partition 0519 and is located within the second chamber 0510. The heating housing 0505 or the partition 0519 supports the heating and separation fixture 0518. The heating element 0517 is located within the second chamber 0510 and is accommodated by the second chamber 0510. The regeneration air duct 0522 is connected to the regeneration blower 0523 and the air inlet 0511. The molecular sieve is at least partially located between the regeneration line 0521 and the air outlet 0512.
[0571] In certain embodiments, when the moist airflow within the drum of the laundry processing apparatus reaches the molecular sieve, the molecular sieve absorbs moisture from the moist airflow, converting it into a dry airflow. Regeneration blower 0523 is activated, and the regeneration airflow passes sequentially through regeneration air duct 0522, air inlet 0511, first chamber 0509, and vent 0520 into second chamber 0510. Within second chamber 0510, heating element 0517 heats the regeneration airflow. The heated regeneration airflow reaches the molecular sieve through air outlet 0512, dehydrating and drying the molecular sieve portion located between regeneration line 0521 and air outlet 0512. This dehydrates and dries the molecular sieve portion located between regeneration line 0521 and air outlet 0512, regenerating the molecular sieve portion so that it can continue to absorb moisture from the moist airflow. After dehydration and drying, the regeneration airflow enters regeneration line 0521.
[0572] In some embodiments, the molecular sieve may be 13X (sodium X type) molecular sieve. Of course, in other embodiments, the molecular sieve may also be replaced by one of zeolite, aluminum chloride, and silica gel.
[0573] In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the heating shell 0505, the projection of the ventilation hole 0520 at least partially overlaps with the heating element 0517, so that the regeneration airflow passing through the ventilation hole 0520 can contact the heating element 0517, ensuring that the heating element 0517 fully heats the regeneration airflow and improving the heating effect of the heating element 0517.
[0574] In certain embodiments, regeneration module 0502 further includes a condensation module 0604. Condensation module 0604 is in communication with regeneration pipeline 0521 and regeneration blower 140. After dehydrating and drying the molecular sieve portion, the regeneration airflow passes through regeneration pipeline 0521 and enters condensation module 0604. Condensation module 0604 condenses the regeneration airflow, converting the moisture in the regeneration airflow into water droplets. The regeneration airflow then passes through regeneration blower 140 and enters regeneration air duct 0522, where it continues to dehydrate and dry the molecular sieve portion between regeneration pipeline 0521 and air outlet 0512, ensuring a successful dehydration and drying effect.
[0575] Of course, in other embodiments, the regeneration module 0502 may not include the condensing module 0604. The regeneration pipeline 0521 and the regeneration fan 140 are both in communication with the outside.
[0576] Referring to Figures 47 to 52 , a thirteenth embodiment of the present application provides a heating module 0504, comprising a heating housing 0505, a heating element 0517, and a temperature sensor 0538. The heating housing 0505 defines a receiving cavity 0508 and a blind mounting hole 0513, which are located on opposite sides of the heating housing 0505. The heating element 0517 is disposed within the receiving cavity 0508. The temperature sensor 0538 is disposed within the blind mounting hole 0513, facing the heating element 0517.
[0577] Relative means that the detection part of the temperature sensor 0538 is facing the heating element 0517.
[0578] The accommodating cavity 0508 and the mounting blind hole 0513 are located on opposite sides of the heating housing 0505. The blind hole does not penetrate the heating housing 0505. In other words, the accommodating cavity 0508 and the mounting blind hole 0513 in the heating housing 0505 are not connected. This prevents leakage of high-humidity and high-temperature gas within the accommodating cavity 0508 and effectively improves the sealing performance of the accommodating cavity 0508. The temperature sensor 0538 is located in the mounting blind hole 0513 and faces the heating element 0517. This reduces the distance between the temperature sensor 0538 and the heating element 0517, shortening the time it takes for the temperature sensor 0538 to obtain temperature data from the heating module 0504 and improving the accuracy of the temperature sensor 0538's measurement data. Furthermore, when the heating element 0517 is operating and heat is transferred to the temperature sensor 0538, less heat is lost, further improving the accuracy of the temperature sensor 0538's measurement data.
[0579] In some embodiments, the heating shell 0505 is a basic component that accommodates the heating element 0517 and carries the temperature sensor 0538. It has a certain strength and heat resistance so that the heating shell 0505 can bear the weight of the heating element 0517 and the temperature sensor 0538, and can prevent the heating shell 0505 from being deformed by heat during the operation of the heating element 0517.
[0580] In some embodiments, the heating shell 0505 is provided with a accommodating cavity 0508 and a mounting blind hole 0513, and the accommodating cavity 0508 and the mounting blind hole 0513 are respectively located on opposite sides of the heating shell 0505. It can be understood that the heating shell 0505 needs to have multiple side walls with different orientations to form a three-dimensional accommodating cavity 0508, and the mounting blind hole 0513 and the accommodating cavity 0508 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the side walls. For example, the middle part of the heating shell 0505 bulges upward so that the bottom of the heating shell 0505 forms the accommodating cavity 0508, then the mounting blind hole 0513 can be arranged on the top surface and / or outer side surface of the bulge in the middle part of the heating shell 0505, and the mounting blind hole 0513 does not pass through the heating shell 0505, that is, the accommodating cavity 0508 and the mounting blind hole 0513 in the heating shell 0505 are not connected, which can effectively improve the sealing performance of the accommodating cavity 0508.
[0581] In some embodiments, the heating element 0517 is an electrical component that can generate heat when powered, and the two ends of the heating element 0517 have a positive terminal 0821 and a negative terminal 0822. The heating element 0517 can be a heating element or a heating pipe.
[0582] In some embodiments, the heating element 0517 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 0508 , and the shape of the accommodating cavity 0508 is set according to the shape of the heating element 0517 , so that the heating element 0517 can adapt to the accommodating cavity 0508 and is easy to arrange.
[0583] The temperature sensor 0538 is an electrical device used to obtain the temperature of the heating shell 0505. The temperature sensor 0538 is arranged in the installation blind hole 0513. The shape of the installation blind hole 0513 is set according to the probe shape of the temperature sensor 0538 to ensure that the temperature sensor 0538 can obtain temperature data.
[0584] In certain embodiments, temperature sensor 0538 includes a detection portion 0824, which is a structure for detecting temperature. To facilitate more accurate acquisition of temperature data by temperature sensor 0538, at least a portion of detection portion 0824 is disposed within mounting blind hole 0513. Detection portion 0824 is positioned opposite heating element 0517, and the distance between them is small. This shortens the time it takes for detection portion 0824 to acquire temperature data from heating module 0504, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement data from temperature sensor 0538. Furthermore, when heating element 0517 is operating and heat is transferred to detection portion 0824, less heat is lost, further improving the accuracy of the measurement data from temperature sensor 0538.
[0585] In some embodiments, the mounting blind hole 0513 may be formed by opening a hole in the outer wall of the heating housing 0505. In this case, the wall thickness between the bottom wall of the mounting blind hole 0513 and the inner wall of the heating housing 0505 is thinner than the wall thickness of the heating housing 0505. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting blind hole 0513 may also be integrally formed or stamped with the heating housing 0505. In this case, the bottom wall of the mounting blind hole 0513 is closer to the heating element 0517 than the inner wall at other locations of the heating housing 0505. Both of these arrangements can shorten the time it takes for heat to be transferred from the accommodating cavity 0508 to the mounting blind hole 0513, resulting in less heat loss, thereby enabling the detection unit 0824 to obtain temperature data more quickly and accurately.
[0586] At the same time, in some embodiments, the installation blind hole 0513 can be regarded as a cavity with an opening, and the detection part 0824 is arranged through the opening in the cavity, and at least a portion of the opening is blocked by the detection part 0824. Then, when the air in the installation blind hole 0513 is blocked by the temperature sensor 0538, it is not easy to generate heat transfer with the air outside the heating shell 0505, and the heat is not easy to dissipate. The temperature data obtained by the detection part 0824 will be more accurate.
[0587] In certain embodiments, the detection portion 0824 is in contact with the wall of the blind mounting hole 0513. The detection portion 0824 has at least an end surface and a side surface. When the end surface and / or side surface of the detection portion 0824 contacts the bottom wall and / or side wall of the blind mounting hole 0513, the detection portion 0824 directly acquires the temperature of the heating housing 0505 at the blind mounting hole 0513, eliminating the step of transferring heat from the heating housing 0505 to the air in the blind mounting hole. This also reduces heat loss during the transfer process, shortens the time it takes for the detection portion 0824 to acquire temperature data, and provides higher accuracy in the temperature data acquired by the detection portion 0824.
[0588] For example, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the contact between the detection part 0824 and the mounting blind hole 0513, the size of the mounting blind hole 0513 is made larger than the size of the detection part 0824, that is, the projection of the detection part 0824 on the bottom wall of the mounting blind hole 0513 is completely located in the bottom wall of the mounting blind hole 0513. At this time, the side of the detection part 0824 is in contact with the side wall of the mounting blind hole 0513, or the end face of the detection part 0824 is in contact with the bottom wall of the mounting blind hole 0513, both of which enable the detection part 0824 to quickly detect the temperature of the heating shell 0505.
[0589] Of course, in other embodiments, in order to ensure that the detection portion 0824 can contact the mounting blind hole 0513, the shape of the mounting blind hole 0513 can be made to completely match the shape of the detection portion 0824. For example, the detection portion 0824 is cylindrical, the mounting blind hole 0513 is a circular blind hole, and the end face of the detection portion 0824 is the same size as the bottom wall of the mounting blind hole 0513; the detection portion 0824 is prismatic, the mounting blind hole 0513 is a polygonal blind hole that matches the detection portion 0824, and the end face of the detection portion 0824 is the same size as the bottom wall of the mounting blind hole 0513. When detection unit 0824 is positioned within mounting blind hole 0513, the end surface of detection unit 0824 contacts the bottom wall of mounting blind hole 0513, and the side surface of detection unit 0824 contacts the side wall of mounting blind hole 0513. This increases the contact area between detection unit 0824 and mounting blind hole 0513, resulting in more accurate temperature data acquired by detection unit 0824. Thus, temperature sensor 0538 can be positioned within heating housing 0505 by snapping into mounting blind hole 0513. However, the temperature sensor 0538 also includes a wiring terminal 0827 for electrically connecting to the detection part 0824. The wiring terminal 0827 is used to connect a cable to supply power to the detection part 0824 and transmit data detected by the detection part 0824. Generally speaking, one end of the detection part 0824 is in contact with the heating shell 0505, and the other end of the detection part 0824 is electrically connected to the wiring terminal 0827. The cable has a certain elastic force, which makes the temperature sensor 0538 connected by a snap-on manner and the mounting blind hole 0513 have a certain instability.
[0590] Therefore, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the installation of the temperature sensor 0538, the temperature sensor 0538 also includes a connecting portion 0825 connected to the detection portion 0824, and the heating shell 0505 is provided with a connecting blind hole 0815. The connecting portion 0825 is installed on the heating shell 0505 through a locking piece 0826 provided in the connecting blind hole 0815. At least one connecting through-hole may be provided on the connecting portion 0825, the position of which matches the position of the connecting blind hole 0815. A locking member 0826 is provided to cooperate with the connecting through-hole and the connecting blind hole 0815 to lock the connecting portion 0825 of the temperature sensor 0538 to the outer wall of the heating housing 0505. By increasing the number of connection points between the temperature sensor 0538 and the heating housing 0505, the connection between the temperature sensor 0538 and the heating housing 0505 is tightened, allowing the detection portion 0824 to continuously obtain the temperature of the side wall of the heating housing 0505 at the installation blind hole 0513, thereby reducing the failure rate and ensuring higher accuracy of the temperature data obtained by the detection portion 0824. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 0825 may be a flange.
[0591] At the same time, the installation blind hole 0513 can be regarded as a cavity with an opening. When the detection part 0824 is passed through the opening in the cavity, the opening of the cavity can also be blocked by the connecting part 0825, so that the opening of the cavity is at least partially blocked by the detection part 0824 and the connecting part 0825. Then, when the air in the installation blind hole 0513 is blocked by the temperature sensor 0538, it is not easy to generate heat transfer with the air outside the heating shell 0505, and the heat is not easy to dissipate. The accuracy of the temperature data obtained by the detection part 0824 is correspondingly improved.
[0592] Of course, in some embodiments, because the temperature sensor 0538 is opposite to the heating element 0517, in order to protect the temperature sensor 0538, the direction of the terminal 0827 of the temperature sensor 0538 can be away from the heating element 0517. At this time, the terminal 0827 is less affected by the heat radiation of the heating element 0517, is not easily affected by high temperature, and is not easily damaged.
[0593] In some embodiments, the locking member 0826 can be a pin, and a plug is provided at one end of the pin, the diameter of the plug is larger than the connecting through hole, and the diameter of the other end of the pin is larger than the diameter of the connecting blind hole 0815. The connecting part 0825 is locked to the outer wall of the heating shell 0505 by means of interference fit between the pin and the connecting blind hole 0815, and at the same time, the plug can press the connecting part 0825 against the heating shell 0505.
[0594] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking member 0826 can be a screw, and the inner wall of the connecting blind hole 0815 is provided with a thread matching the screw. After the screw is threadedly connected to the connecting blind hole 0815, the nut of the screw presses the connecting part 0825 against the heating shell 0505, so that the connecting part 0825 can be locked to the outer wall of the heating shell 0505. When the locking member 0826 is a screw, it is convenient to inspect and replace the temperature sensor 0538.
[0595] In certain embodiments, to accommodate the structure of the molecular sieve (not shown) and the arrangement of the heating element 0517, the accommodating chamber 0508 is fan-shaped, and the mounting blind hole 0513 is located on the central side 0816 of the accommodating chamber 0508 and / or between the central side 0816 and the circumferential side 0817 of the accommodating chamber 0508. Since the accommodating chamber 0508 and the mounting blind hole 0513 are located on opposite sides of the heating housing 0505, the location of the heating housing 0505 between the central side 0816 and the circumferential side 0817 of the accommodating chamber 0508 where the mounting blind hole 0513 can be located includes the top wall, bottom wall, and / or radial sidewall 0818 of the heating housing 0505.
[0596] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the overall height of the heating module 0504, the installation blind hole 0513 is located on the side wall of the heating shell 0505 to prevent the temperature sensor 0538 from occupying the height space, thereby ensuring that the overall height of the equipment on which the heating module 0504 is installed is within the standard.
[0597] In certain embodiments, the central side 0816 and both radial sidewalls 0818 of the heating shell 0505 may be provided with mounting blind holes 0513. By providing multiple temperature sensors 0538, temperature data from different locations of the heating shell 0505 can be obtained to comprehensively assess the operating conditions of the heating module 0504 and improve the accuracy of the measurement results. For example, a temperature sensor 0538 may be provided on the central side 0816 of the heating shell 0505, and a temperature sensor 0538 may be provided on one radial sidewall 0818 of the heating shell 0505. If the difference in temperature data obtained by the two temperature sensors 0538 is small, it can be assumed that both temperature sensors 0538 are operating normally. If the difference in temperature data obtained by the two temperature sensors 0538 is large, it can be assumed that the heating element 0517 is faulty. If the temperature data obtained by one temperature sensor 0538 is zero, it can be assumed that the temperature sensor 0538 is damaged and requires repair or replacement.
[0598] Of course, in order to reduce the overall height of the heating module 0504, in some embodiments, the positive terminal 0821 and the negative terminal 0822 of the heating element 0517 are both arranged on the side wall of the heating shell 0505. In order to reduce wiring, the positive terminal 0821 and the negative terminal 0822 of the heating element 0517 are both arranged on the same side of the heating shell 0505, and affected by the layout of the heating element 0517, there is a distance between the positive terminal 0821 and the negative terminal 0822. Therefore, at least one mounting blind hole 0513 is arranged between the positive terminal 0821 and the negative terminal 0822, so as to rationally utilize the space between the positive terminal 0821 and the negative terminal 0822 and reduce the volume of the heating module 0504.
[0599] In some embodiments, the heating shell 0505 is a heat conductor, and the heat in the accommodating cavity 0508 can be quickly transferred to the mounting blind hole 0513, thereby allowing the temperature sensor 0538 to obtain temperature data faster and more accurately.
[0600] In some embodiments, the heating housing 0505 is made of a cast aluminum alloy, which has high strength and thermal conductivity, is lightweight, and has good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for high-humidity and high-heat environments. In other embodiments, the heating housing 0505 can also be made of a stainless steel alloy, which also has high strength, good thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance.
[0601] In a fourteenth embodiment of the present application, a regeneration module 0502 is provided, comprising a heating module 0504. In certain embodiments, the regeneration module 0502 further comprises: a regeneration pipeline 0521, a regeneration air duct 0522, and a regeneration fan 0523.
[0602] Heating module 0504 includes a heating housing 0505, a heating assembly 0516, and a partition 0519. Heating assembly 0516 includes a heating element 0517. Heating housing 0505 has a receiving chamber 0508, an air inlet 0511, and an air outlet 0512. Partition 0519 is disposed within receiving chamber 0508 of heating housing 0505 to separate receiving chamber 0508 into a first chamber 0509 connected to air inlet 0511 and a second chamber 0510 connected to air outlet 0512. Partition 0519 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 0520 that communicate with first chamber 0509 and second chamber 0510. Heating element 0517 is disposed within second chamber 0510 and accommodated therein. Regeneration air duct 0522 communicates with regeneration fan 0523 and air inlet 0511. The molecular sieve is at least partially disposed between the regeneration pipeline 0521 and the air outlet 0512 .
[0603] In certain embodiments, when the moist airflow within the drum of the laundry processing apparatus reaches the molecular sieve, the molecular sieve absorbs moisture from the moist airflow, converting it into a dry airflow. Regeneration blower 0523 is activated, and the regeneration airflow passes sequentially through regeneration air duct 0522, air inlet 0511, first chamber 0509, and vent 0520 into second chamber 0510. Within second chamber 0510, heating element 0517 heats the regeneration airflow. The heated regeneration airflow reaches the molecular sieve through air outlet 0512, dehydrating and drying the molecular sieve portion located between regeneration line 0521 and air outlet 0512. This dehydrates and dries the molecular sieve portion located between regeneration line 0521 and air outlet 0512, regenerating the molecular sieve portion so that it can continue to absorb moisture from the moist airflow. After dehydration and drying, the regeneration airflow enters regeneration line 0521.
[0604] In some embodiments, the molecular sieve may be 13X (sodium X type) molecular sieve. Of course, in other embodiments, the molecular sieve may also be replaced by one of zeolite, aluminum chloride, and silica gel.
[0605] In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the heating shell 0505, the projection of the ventilation hole 0520 at least partially overlaps with the heating element 0517, so that the regeneration airflow passing through the ventilation hole 0520 can contact the heating element 0517, ensuring that the heating element 0517 fully heats the regeneration airflow and improving the heating effect of the heating element 0517.
[0606] In certain embodiments, regeneration module 0502 further includes a condensation module 0604. Condensation module 0604 is in communication with regeneration pipeline 0521 and regeneration blower 0523. After dehydrating and drying the molecular sieve portion, the regeneration airflow passes through regeneration pipeline 0521 and enters condensation module 0604. Condensation module 0604 condenses the regeneration airflow, converting the moisture in the regeneration airflow into water droplets. The regeneration airflow then passes through regeneration blower 0523 and enters regeneration air duct 0522, where it continues to dehydrate and dry the molecular sieve portion between regeneration pipeline 0521 and air outlet 0512, ensuring a successful dehydration and drying effect.
[0607] The heating module 0504 can obtain the temperature data in the accommodating cavity 0508 in a timely and accurate manner, so that the regeneration module 0502 can correspondingly increase or decrease the temperature of the airflow in the regeneration module 0502, that is, it can timely and efficiently control the temperature in the heating module 0504, so that the temperature of the airflow in the regeneration module 0502 is stable, the energy consumption is low and the drying efficiency is high.
[0608] Of course, in other embodiments, the regeneration module 0502 may not include the condensing module 0604. The regeneration pipeline 0521 and the regeneration fan 0523 are both in communication with the outside.
[0609] Referring to Figures 53 to 58 , the fifteenth aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a condensation module 0604 comprising a condenser 0906 and a water inlet channel 0916. The water inlet channel 0916 is used to connect to an external water inlet pipe and communicate with the condenser 0906. The condenser 0906 comprises at least one condensation portion 0907, each condensation portion 0907 having a condensation agent cavity 0911 for injecting a condensing agent. When the condensation portion 0907 comprises multiple layers, each adjacent two layers of the condensation portion 0907 are connected. The condensing agent enters through the water inlet channel 0916 and sequentially enters the condensation agent cavity 0911 of each layer of the condensation portion 0907. The condenser 0906 has a ventilation cavity 0912 for ventilation. The gas in the ventilation cavity 0912 exchanges heat with the condensing agent.
[0610] When condensing the gas entering ventilation cavity 0912, the condensing agent enters through water inlet channel 0916 and then enters the condensing agent cavity 0911 of each condensation section 0907 layer in sequence. Heat is exchanged with the gas in ventilation cavity 0912, condensing the moisture in the gas into water droplets, thereby improving the dehydration and drying effect. Condensation of the gas entering ventilation cavity 0912 is achieved by using at least one layer of condensation section 0907, resulting in a simple structure, small installation space requirements, and low production costs.
[0611] In certain embodiments, condenser 0906 is a primary component of condensation module 0604, used to implement the condensation function of condensation module 0604. Heat exchange between gas and refrigerant occurs in condenser 0906. Water inlet channel 0916 is used to pass refrigerant into condenser 0906. After water inlet channel 0916 is connected to an external water inlet pipe, refrigerant enters condenser 0906 from the water inlet pipe through water inlet channel 0916.
[0612] In some embodiments, the water inlet channel 0916 may be provided at the top, bottom or side of the condenser 0906 , and the condenser 0906 and the water inlet channel 0916 may be provided integrally to ensure the structural strength of the condensation module 0604 and improve the integration of the condensation module 0604 .
[0613] Condensation section 0907 may be provided in one or more layers. Multiple layers of condensation sections 0907 may be arranged sequentially in any direction, and adjacent layers of condensation sections 0907 may be arranged in a staggered or stacked manner, without limitation. When condensation section 0907 is provided in one layer, water inlet channel 0916 may be connected to condenser chamber 0911 of the condenser section 0907. When condensation section 0907 is provided in multiple layers, since adjacent layers of condensation sections 0907 are connected, i.e., multiple layers of condensation sections 0907 are connected as a whole, water inlet channel 0916 may be connected to condenser chamber 0911 of the first or last condensation section 0907 along the arrangement direction of the multiple layers of condensation sections 0907, thereby enabling condenser to enter condenser chamber 0911 of each layer of condensation section 0907 in sequence.
[0614] The ventilation cavity 0912 is adjacent to and isolated from the condensing agent cavity 0911, so that the gas in the ventilation cavity 0912 can exchange heat with the condensing agent in the condensing agent cavity 0911 to achieve condensation of the gas. At the same time, the gas and the condensing agent are separated to prevent mixing of the gas and ensure that condensation can proceed normally. It is conceivable that when the condensing portion 0907 is provided in multiple layers, the condensing agent cavity 0911 of each layer of the condensing portion 0907 is adjacent to and isolated from at least part of the ventilation cavity 0912, so that the gas in the ventilation cavity 0912 can fully exchange heat with the condensing agent in each condensing agent cavity 0911.
[0615] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the horizontal space occupied by the condenser 0906, when the condensation portion 0907 is multi-layered, the multi-layer condensation portion 0907 is spaced apart from top to bottom along the water inlet direction of the water inlet channel 0916.
[0616] Since the multiple layers of condensation sections 0907 are spaced apart from top to bottom, the water inlet channel 0916 can be connected to the topmost or bottommost condensation section 0907. Therefore, after the condenser enters the condenser cavity 0911 through the water inlet channel 0916, it can enter the condenser cavity 0911 of each layer of condensation section 0907 in turn to exchange heat with the gas in the ventilation cavity 0912.
[0617] In certain embodiments, in order to allow the refrigerant to gradually fill each layer of the condensation section 0907 from bottom to top, the bottommost condensation section 0907 among the multiple layers of condensation sections 0907 is connected to the water inlet channel 0916, and each two adjacent layers of condensation sections 0907 are connected in series.
[0618] The condensate first enters the condensate chamber 0911 of the bottommost condensation section 0907 through the water inlet channel 0916. The water inlet pipe continuously introduces condensate. When the condensate chamber 0911 of the bottommost condensation section 0907 is filled with condensate, the condensate overflows into the condensate chamber 0911 of the uppermost condensation section 0907, and so on. That is, after entering the condenser 0906, the condensate flows from bottom to top, sequentially entering the condensate chamber 0911 of each condensation section 0907, until the condensate chamber 0911 of the uppermost condensation section 0907 is filled with condensate.
[0619] The flow path of the gas can be from top to bottom or from bottom to top, and there is no limitation on this. During the flow of the gas in the condenser 0906, heat exchange with the condensing agent is achieved.
[0620] The condenser chambers 0911 of two adjacent condenser sections 0907 can be connected via a connecting pipe 0908, achieving serial connection. That is, when the condenser chamber 0911 of one condenser section 0907 is filled with condenser, the condenser overflows through the connecting pipe 0908 to the condenser chamber 0911 of the condenser section 0907 in the upper layer. One, two, or more connecting pipes 0908 can be provided between two adjacent condenser sections 0907. The greater the number of connecting pipes 0908, the faster the condenser overflows.
[0621] In some embodiments, in order to separate the gas and the condensing agent and prevent the gas and the condensing agent from mixing, the ventilation cavity 0912 includes a ventilation hole 0913 provided in the condensation portion 0907 , and the condensing agent cavity 0911 surrounds the outside of the hole wall of the ventilation hole 0913 .
[0622] The condenser chamber 0911 is surrounded by the outside of the hole wall of the vent hole 0913. In other words, the vent hole 0913 is arranged in the condenser chamber 0911, and the vent hole 0913 is isolated from the condenser chamber 0911 by its hole wall, that is, the condenser chamber 0911 and the vent chamber 0912 are adjacent and isolated, so that the gas in the vent chamber 0912 can exchange heat with the condenser in the condenser chamber 0911 to achieve condensation of the gas.
[0623] Each condensation portion 0907 may be provided with a plurality of vent holes 0913 at intervals. The greater the number of vent holes 0913, the larger the overall heat exchange area between the gas and the condensing agent, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and enhancing the condensation effect on the gas.
[0624] In some embodiments, in order to increase the volume of the ventilation cavity so that the condenser can accommodate more gas, thereby condensing more gas and improving the condensation efficiency of the gas, the gap between each two adjacent layers of condensation parts 0907 is connected to the ventilation hole 0913 to form a ventilation cavity 0912.
[0625] That is, the gas in the vent holes 0913 in one layer of the condensation section 0907 can flow through the gap between two adjacent layers of the condensation section 0907 to the vent holes 0913 in another layer of the condensation section 0907 to realize the flow of gas, so that the gas enters each layer of the condensation section 0907 in turn to exchange heat with the condensing agent.
[0626] As mentioned above, the condenser chambers 0911 of two adjacent layers of condensation sections 0907 can be connected through the connecting pipe 0908 to achieve series connection. Obviously, the connecting pipe 0908 is also arranged in the interval between the two adjacent layers of condensation sections 0907. Of course, the connecting pipe 0908 and the ventilation chamber 0912 are separated so that the condenser and the gas are completely isolated, so that the flow of the condenser and the flow of the gas do not interfere with each other.
[0627] In some embodiments, in order to increase the residence time of the gas in the condenser 0906 and improve the condensation effect of the gas, the vent holes 0913 of each two adjacent layers of the condensation section 0907 are not coaxial, that is, they are staggered to extend the internal gas path and improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0628] When the air holes 0913 of each two adjacent layers of condensation sections 0907 are not coaxial, that is, the air holes 0913 of the two adjacent layers of condensation sections 0907 are staggered, the internal gas path can be extended and the heat exchange efficiency can be improved. At the same time, when the gas enters the gap between the two adjacent layers of condensation sections 0907 from the air holes 0913 of one layer of condensation sections 0907, it can be blocked by the adjacent condensation sections 0907 to prevent the gas from being directly discharged from the air holes 0913 of the adjacent condensation sections 0907, thereby increasing the flow resistance of the gas and extending the residence time of the gas in the condenser 0906, thereby making the heat exchange time between the gas and the refrigerant longer, further improving the heat exchange efficiency and enhancing the condensation effect on the gas.
[0629] In some embodiments, in order to further reduce the space occupied by the condenser 0906 in the horizontal direction, the condensation portion 0907 is arranged to be inclined relative to the water inlet channel 0916.
[0630] At least a portion of the water inlet channel 0916 can be located above the condenser 0906, so that due to the gravity of the condenser itself, the condenser can enter the condenser 0906 more quickly. In addition, the water inlet channel 0916 can be arranged vertically, so that the distance between the connection point between the water inlet channel 0916 and the water inlet pipe and the connection point between the water inlet channel 0916 and the condenser 0906 is minimized, which can further increase the rate at which the condenser enters the condenser 0906, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0631] The condensation section 0907 is tilted relative to the vertical water inlet channel 0916, which can reduce the space occupied by the condensation section 0907 in the horizontal direction, thereby reducing the space occupied by the condenser 0906 in the horizontal direction, and to a certain extent avoid the horizontal space inside the clothing processing equipment from being too crowded, making the space utilization inside the clothing processing equipment more reasonable and orderly.
[0632] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the passage of the condensing agent into the lowest condensation section 0907 so that the condensing agent can gradually fill all the condensation sections 0907 from low to high, the connection point between the condensation section 0907 and the water inlet channel 0916 is located at the lowest point of the condenser 0906.
[0633] Since the lowest condensation section 0907 among the multiple layers of condensation sections 0907 is connected to the water inlet channel 0916, and the condensation section 0907 is tilted relative to the water inlet channel 0916, that is, the lowest point of the condenser 0906 is the edge of the lowest condensation section 0907, the water inlet channel 0916 is connected to the edge of the lowest condensation section 0907, which can avoid interference between the water inlet channel 0916 and other components in the middle of the condenser 0906, and make the setting of the water inlet channel 0916 more convenient.
[0634] In some embodiments, when the refrigerant fills all the condensation parts 0907, in order to discharge the condensant and replenish new refrigerant, a water outlet 0909 is provided at the highest point of the bottom plate of the uppermost condensation part 0907, and the water outlet 0909 is connected to the ventilation cavity 0912.
[0635] In certain embodiments, because the condenser section 0907 is tilted relative to the water inlet passage 0916, the condenser in the condenser chamber 0911 flows downward under its own gravity. Therefore, when the highest point of the uppermost condenser section 0907 is also filled with condenser, the condenser chamber 0911 of the uppermost condenser section 0907 is completely filled, enabling sufficient heat exchange with the gas in all vents 0913. During the drying process of the clothes processing apparatus, high-humidity gas continuously enters the condenser 0906, and the condenser needs to be continuously introduced into the condenser 0906 to achieve continuous condensation of the gas. Therefore, after the condenser chamber 0911 of the uppermost condenser section 0907 is completely filled, the condenser therein needs to be discharged to be replenished with new condenser. Therefore, a water outlet 0909 is provided at the highest point of the bottom plate of the uppermost condensation section 0907, and the water outlet 0909 is connected to the ventilation cavity 0912, so that after the condenser cavity 0911 of the uppermost condensation section 0907 is completely filled, the condenser can be discharged from the water outlet 0909 through the ventilation cavity 0912, so that new condenser can be continuously replenished.
[0636] In certain embodiments, multiple water outlets 0909 may be provided, and the multiple water outlets 0909 may be arranged side by side and spaced apart. When the size of the water outlet 0909 is larger, the refrigerant is discharged faster, and when the size of the water outlet 0909 is smaller, the refrigerant is discharged slower. The size of the water outlet 0909 is designed based on the refrigerant replenishment rate to ensure that the uppermost condensation portion 0907 remains fully filled with refrigerant.
[0637] It should be noted that the condensing agent is discharged from the ventilation cavity 0912, wherein the gas in the ventilation cavity 0912 will also produce condensed water in the ventilation cavity 0912 during the condensation process, that is, the condensing agent and the condensed water can be mixed in the ventilation cavity 0912 and discharged together without being discharged through two separate channels, thereby simplifying the structure of the condenser 0906.
[0638] In some embodiments, after the condensing agent and condensed water flow out of the ventilation cavity 0912, in order to concentrate the condensing agent and condensed water out of the condenser, the condensation module 0604 also includes a drainage shell 0914 connected to the ventilation cavity 0912, and the drainage shell 0914 has a drainage channel 0915, and the drainage channel 0915 is located below the condenser 0906.
[0639] The drainage channel 0915 is used to discharge the condensing agent and condensed water out of the condenser 0906. After passing through the ventilation cavity 0912, the condensing agent and condensed water will continue to flow downward under the action of gravity. The drainage channel 0915 is connected to the ventilation cavity 0912 and is located below the condenser 0906. Therefore, after passing through the ventilation cavity 0912, the condensing agent and condensed water will flow into the drainage channel 0915 and be discharged out of the condenser 0906.
[0640] In certain embodiments, in order to reduce the size of the clothes processing apparatus and thus reduce the space occupied by the clothes processing apparatus, the bottom surface of the drain housing 0914 is shaped to match the outer shape of the lower component.
[0641] The lower component is the component of the laundry processing device installed below the drain housing 0914. The bottom surface of the drain housing 0914 is adapted to the shape of the lower component, allowing the bottom surface of the drain housing 0914 to be positioned flush with the lower component, thereby reducing the size of the laundry processing device and saving space. For example, when the lower component is a drum, the bottom surface of the drain housing 0914 can be curved to fit flush with the drum, saving space. The bottom surface of the drain housing 0914 can also be spherical.
[0642] Of course, in certain other embodiments, the bottom surface of the drain housing 0914 may also be a slope or other shapes, as long as the bottom surface of the drain housing 0914 is compatible with the shape of the underlying components, and there is no limitation on this.
[0643] In some embodiments, to facilitate drainage, the drainage channel 0915 is located at the lowest point of the drainage housing 0914 .
[0644] Since the bottom surface of the drainage housing 0914 is an arc surface, the condensing agent and condensed water will flow to the lowest point of the drainage housing 0914 under the action of gravity. Therefore, setting the drainage channel 0915 at the lowest point of the drainage housing 0914 can facilitate drainage and improve drainage efficiency.
[0645] In some embodiments, in order to accommodate the condensation portion 0907 and protect the condensation portion, the condensation module 0604 further includes a condensation shell 0910 , the condensation portion 0907 is disposed in the condensation shell 0910 , and the water inlet channel 0916 is disposed in the peripheral wall of the condensation shell 0910 .
[0646] The water inlet channel 0916 is provided in the peripheral wall of the condensing shell 0910, thereby saving the space occupied by the condenser 0906, and part of the water inlet channel 0916 needs to extend out of the upper part of the condensing shell 0910 to facilitate docking with the water inlet pipe.
[0647] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the condensing housing 0910 may be cylindrical. Of course, in other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the condensing housing 0910 may also be other shapes, which is not limited thereto.
[0648] The condensation module 0604 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a condenser 0906 and a water inlet channel 0916 connected to the condenser 0906. The condenser 0906 includes at least one condensation portion 0907 and a ventilation cavity 0912 for ventilation. The condensation portion 0907 has a condensing agent cavity 0911 for injecting a condensing agent. When the condensation portion 0907 is multi-layered, each adjacent two condensation portions 0907 are connected. When condensing gas entering the ventilation cavity 0912, the condensing agent enters through the water inlet channel 0916 and then sequentially enters the condensing agent cavity 0911 of each condensation portion 0907 layer, exchanging heat with the gas in the ventilation cavity 0912, condensing the moisture in the gas into water droplets, thereby improving the dehydration and drying effect. In other words, condensation of the gas entering the ventilation cavity 0912 can be achieved through at least one condensation portion 0907 layer, resulting in a simple structure, small installation space requirements, and low production costs.
[0649] In a sixteenth embodiment of the present application, a regeneration module 0502 is provided, comprising the above-described condensation module 0604. The beneficial effects of the regeneration module 0502 are the same as those of the above-described condensation module 0604, and are not further described here.
[0650] In some embodiments, the regeneration module 0502 includes a heating housing 0505, a heating assembly 0516, and a regeneration blower 0523. The heating housing 0505 has a receiving chamber 0508 communicating with a ventilation chamber, the heating assembly 111 is disposed in the receiving chamber 0508, and the regeneration blower 0523 communicates with the receiving chamber 0508 and the ventilation chamber.
[0651] The heating housing 0505 provides an installation base for the heating assembly 0516 and the regeneration fan 0523, so that the heating assembly 0516 and the regeneration fan 0523 can be installed through the heating housing 0505. Since the regeneration fan 0523 is connected to the accommodating chamber 0508 and the ventilation chamber, that is, the air inlet of the regeneration fan 0523 is connected to the air outlet of the ventilation chamber, and the air outlet of the regeneration fan 0523 is connected to the air inlet of the accommodating chamber 0508 (the heating housing air inlet 1015), the regeneration fan 0523 generates a negative pressure in the ventilation chamber and a positive pressure in the accommodating chamber 0508. Under the action of the negative pressure, the intake air condensed in the ventilation chamber is forced to flow from the ventilation chamber into the accommodating chamber 0508. The intake airflow entering the accommodating chamber 0508 is heated by the heating component 0516 disposed in the accommodating chamber 0508 to form a high-temperature exhaust airflow that is discharged from the air outlet of the accommodating chamber 0508 (the heating shell air outlet 1016).
[0652] Please refer to Figures 59 to 65. The seventeenth embodiment of the present application provides a regeneration pipeline 0521, which has an air inlet channel 1002, an air outlet channel 1003 and a return air channel 1004, wherein the air inlet channel 1002 is used to introduce the intake air flow, the air outlet channel 1003 is connected to the outside and is used to discharge part of the exhaust air flow, and the return air channel 1004 is arranged between the air inlet channel 1002 and the air outlet channel 1003, and allows the other part of the exhaust air flow in the air outlet channel 1003 to flow back into the return air channel 1004 and mix with the intake air flow entering the return air channel 1004.
[0653] When the exhaust airflow is high-temperature and humid, a portion of the high-temperature and humid exhaust airflow will flow back from the outlet duct 1003 into the return air duct 1004. Furthermore, the inlet duct 1002 is connected to the return air duct 1004, so that a portion of the high-temperature and humid exhaust airflow flowing back from the outlet duct 1003 into the return air duct 1004 mixes with the intake airflow entering the return air duct 1004 from the inlet duct 1002, thereby preheating the intake airflow in the return air duct 1004. Therefore, when the exhaust airflow is high-temperature and humid, a portion of the heat of the exhaust airflow will return to the regeneration pipeline 0521, thereby reducing the heat of the exhaust airflow discharged from the outlet duct 1003 and improving heat utilization.
[0654] In certain embodiments, to achieve a more compact structure and higher space utilization within regeneration duct 0521, regeneration duct 0521 includes a return air connector 1005, which is used to separate the air inlet channel 1002 from the air outlet channel 1003. Return air connector 1005 also includes a return air channel 1004. The air inlet channel 1002 and the air outlet channel 1003 are the primary structures of regeneration duct 0521. By arranging the air inlet channel 1002 and the air outlet channel 1003 adjacent to each other, a more compact structure and higher space utilization within regeneration duct 0521 can be achieved. Therefore, on the basis of the adjacent arrangement of the air inlet channel 1002 and the air outlet channel 1003, a return air connector 1005 can be set to separate the air inlet channel 1002 and the air outlet channel 1003, and the return air channel 1004 can be set on the return air connector 1005 to realize the connection of the return air channel 1004 between the air inlet channel 1002 and the air outlet channel 1003 through the return air connector 1005.
[0655] At the same time, the return air channel 1004 is arranged on the return air connector 1005, which shortens the length of the return air channel 1004, and also shortens the flow of the returning exhaust air flow in the return air channel 1004, so that a part of the exhaust air flow in the outlet channel 1003 can more efficiently flow back from the outlet channel 1003 into the return air channel 130, and mix with the intake air flow entering the return air channel 1004 from the inlet channel 1002, thereby improving the return effect of the regeneration pipeline 0521.
[0656] Of course, in other embodiments, the air inlet channel 1002 and the air outlet channel 1003 of the regeneration pipeline 0521 can also be connected through a pipeline provided with a return air channel 1004.
[0657] In some embodiments, in order to achieve the return air connector 1005 separating the air inlet channel 1002 and the air outlet channel 1003, and the return air connector 1005 has a return air channel 1004, the return air connector 1005 includes a bottom plate 1006 and a side plate 1008, the bottom plate 1006 is provided with a return air hole 1007 connected to the air outlet channel 1003, the side plate 1008 is arranged on the bottom plate 1006 to form the return air channel 1004, and the side plate 1008 is provided with a notch 1009 connected to the air inlet channel 1002, wherein the bottom plate 1006 and the side plate 1008 separate the air inlet channel 1002 and the air outlet channel 1003. When configuring the structure of the return air connector 1005, the return air connector 1005 may include a bottom plate 1006 and side plates 1008. The bottom plate 1006 separates the outlet channel 1003, and the side plates 1008 separate the inlet channel 1002, thereby enabling the return air connector 1005 to separate the inlet channel 1002 from the outlet channel 1003. Furthermore, the side plates 1008 are disposed on the bottom plate 1006 to form the return air channel 1004, thereby enabling the return air connector 1005 to have the return air channel 1004.
[0658] In the structural arrangement of the bottom plate 1006 and the side plates 1008, the bottom plate 1006 is used to connect to the air outlet duct 1003, and the side plates 1008 are used to connect to the air inlet duct 1002. On the basis that the side plates 1008 are arranged on the bottom plate 1006 to form the return air duct 1004, a return air hole 1007 for connecting to the air outlet duct 1003 is provided on the bottom plate 1006, and a notch 1009 for connecting to the air inlet duct 1002 is provided on the side plates 1008. In this way, the air outlet duct 1003 is connected to the return air duct 1004 through the return air hole 1007 in the bottom plate 1006, and the return air duct 1004 is connected to the air inlet duct 1002 through the notch 1009 in the side plates 1008. Overall, a structural form is formed in which the return air duct 1004 is arranged between the air inlet duct 1002 and the air outlet duct 1003.
[0659] In certain embodiments, to better form the return air duct 1004 on the return air connector 1005, the side panels 1008 are disposed around a portion of the circumference of the bottom plate 1006, and the areas not surrounded by the side panels 1008 form gaps 1009. In the structural arrangement of the bottom plate 1006 and the side panels 1008, the side panels 1008 are disposed around a portion of the circumference of the bottom plate 1006 to better form the return air duct 1004. At the same time, the areas not surrounded by the side panels 1008 form gaps 1009. In this way, through the structure of the side panel 1008 and the connection method with the bottom plate 1006, the return air channel 1004 and the gap 1009 are formed at the same time, so that the return air connector 1005 separates the air inlet channel 1002 and the air outlet channel 1003, and the return air connector 1005 has the return air channel 1004, thereby simplifying the structure of the return air connector 1005, making the return air connector 1005 more conducive to the arrangement in the regeneration pipeline 13.
[0660] Furthermore, in this configuration, the resulting structure is one in which the air outlet of the air inlet channel 1002 is connected to the notch 1009 of the side panel 1008. The intake air in the air inlet channel 1002 enters the return air channel 1004 through the notch 1009 of the side panel 1008, where it mixes with the exhaust air that flows back into the return air channel 1004 through the return air holes 1007 of the bottom panel 1006. The mixed gas is then discharged from the air outlet of the return air channel 1004. In this case, the return air channel 1004 is more like a mixing channel that performs gas mixing, while the return air holes in the bottom panel 1006 are used to return the exhaust air.
[0661] Of course, in other embodiments, the side panels 1008 and the bottom panel 1006 may be integrally formed, and the notches 1009 may be directly opened on the side panels 1008 to achieve the same technical effect.
[0662] In certain embodiments, to ensure the flow rate of the intake airflow into the regeneration pipeline 0521, the area of the air inlet of the air inlet channel 1002 is larger than the area of the notch 1009. Given that the air outlet of the air inlet channel 1002 is connected to the notch 1009 of the side panel 1008, the area of the air inlet of the air inlet channel 1002 is set to be larger than the area of the notch 1009. In other words, the area of the air inlet of the air inlet channel 1002 is larger than the area of the air outlet of the air inlet channel 1002. The larger air inlet of the air inlet channel 1002 ensures the flow rate of the intake airflow into the regeneration pipeline 0521, thereby improving the performance of the regeneration pipeline 0521.
[0663] Furthermore, to enhance the recirculation effect of regeneration duct 0521, a sufficient pressure difference must exist between the intake and exhaust airflows, and the velocity of the intake airflow must be sufficiently higher than that of the exhaust airflow. This means that the velocity of the intake airflow entering return air duct 1004 must be increased. Therefore, the area of the air inlet of intake duct 1002 is larger than the area of notch 1009, meaning that the area of the air inlet of intake duct 1002 is larger than the area of the air outlet of intake duct 1002. Because the area of the air inlet of intake duct 1002 is larger than the area of the air outlet of intake duct 1002, the velocity of the intake airflow at the air outlet of intake duct 1002 is greater than the velocity of the intake airflow at the air inlet of intake duct 1002. This increases the velocity of the intake airflow entering return air duct 1004 and, in turn, enhances the recirculation effect of regeneration duct 0521.
[0664] In certain embodiments, to reduce the flow resistance of the bottom plate 1006 to the exhaust airflow within the air outlet channel 1003, the bottom surface of the bottom plate 1006 is coplanar with the top surface of the air outlet channel 1003. Because the bottom plate 1006 is provided with a return hole and is positioned at the top of the air outlet channel 1003, the pressure difference between the intake and exhaust airflows causes the exhaust airflow within the air outlet channel 1003, primarily near the top surface of the air outlet channel 1003, to enter the return hole of the bottom plate 1006. Therefore, the bottom surface of the bottom plate 1006 is arranged to be coplanar with the top surface of the air outlet channel 1003 to reduce the flow resistance of the bottom plate 1006 to the exhaust airflow in the air outlet channel 1003, especially to reduce the flow resistance of the bottom plate 1006 to the exhaust airflow in the air outlet channel 1003 close to the top surface of the air outlet channel 1003, so that the exhaust airflow in the air outlet channel 1003 can stably enter the return hole of the bottom plate 1006, thereby improving the use effect of the regeneration pipeline 0521.
[0665] In some embodiments, to improve the sealing performance of the connection and reduce air leakage, the edge of the side panel 1008 is aligned with the edge of the air inlet duct 1002. This improves the sealing performance of the connection between the air inlet duct 1002 and the return air duct 1004 and reduces air leakage between the air inlet duct 1002 and the return air duct 1004, which could affect the performance of the regeneration pipeline 0521.
[0666] It can be understood that the outlet wall of air inlet duct 1002 fits in contact with the wall of notch 1009 in side panel 1008, thereby improving the sealing of the connection and reducing air leakage. Correspondingly, the channel surface of air inlet duct 1002 and the inner circumference of side panel 1008 are smoothly connected, thus reducing the flow resistance of the intake airflow from air inlet duct 1002 to return air duct 1004, improving the stability of the intake airflow, and thus enhancing the effectiveness of regeneration pipeline 0521.
[0667] In certain embodiments, to specifically configure the air inlet channel 1002, the air outlet channel 1003, and the return air channel 1004, the regeneration pipeline 0521 includes an air outlet housing 1010 and an air inlet housing 1011. The air outlet housing 1010 includes the air outlet channel 1003, and the air inlet housing 1011 is connected to the air outlet housing 1010. Furthermore, the air inlet housing 1011 includes the air inlet channel 1002 and the return air channel 1004. The air outlet housing 1010 and the air inlet housing 1011 provide a foundation for configuring the air inlet channel 1002, the air outlet channel 1003, and the return air channel 1004. The air outlet channel 1003 is formed in the air outlet housing 1010, and the air inlet channel 1002 and the return air channel 1004 are formed in the air inlet housing 1011.
[0668] Of course, in other embodiments, the air inlet housing 1011 and the air outlet housing 1010 may be integrally formed to reduce the number of assembly steps of the regeneration pipeline 0521 during the production process, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0669] In addition, in other embodiments, the air outlet channel 1003 can be arranged in the air outlet housing 1010, the air inlet channel 1002 can be arranged in the air inlet housing 1011, the return air channel 1004 can be arranged in the return air connector 1005, and the return air connector 1005 can be connected between the air outlet housing 1010 and the air inlet housing 1011.
[0670] The second embodiment of the present application provides a regeneration module 0502 including the above-mentioned regeneration pipeline 0521. Since the regeneration module 0502 is equipped with the above-mentioned regeneration pipeline 0521, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solution of the above-mentioned regeneration pipeline 0521.
[0671] In certain embodiments, the regeneration module 0502 further includes a heating shell 0505, a heating component 0516, and a regeneration fan 0523, wherein the heating shell 0505 has a accommodating cavity 0508 connected to the return air channel 1004 and the air outlet channel 1003 of the regeneration pipeline 0521, the heating component 0516 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 0508 of the heating shell 0505, and the regeneration fan 0523 is connected to the accommodating cavity 0508 and the return air channel 1004.
[0672] In regeneration module 0502, intake air enters through air inlet duct 1002, passes through return air duct 1004, and accommodating chamber 0508, and then forms exhaust air, which is discharged to the outside through air outlet duct 1003. Due to the internal structures of air inlet duct 1002, return air duct 1004, and accommodating chamber 0508, the intake air velocity decreases after it is converted into exhaust air. In other words, the intake air velocity is higher than the exhaust air velocity. By positioning return air duct 1004 between air inlet duct 1002 and air outlet duct 1003, the intake and exhaust ducts 1002 and 1003 are connected through return air duct 1004. Because the intake air velocity is higher than the exhaust air velocity, the intake air pressure is lower than the exhaust air pressure, resulting in a pressure difference between the intake and exhaust air flows. Due to this pressure difference, part of the exhaust air flow flows into the intake air flow through return air duct 1004. In this way, a part of the exhaust air flow is discharged to the outside through the air outlet channel 1003, and the other part of the exhaust air flow flows back from the air outlet channel 1003 into the return air channel 1004 and mixes with the intake air flow entering the return air channel 1004 from the air inlet channel 1002.
[0673] When the exhaust airflow is high-temperature, the heating housing 0505 provides a mounting base for the heating assembly 0516 and the regeneration fan 0523, so that the heating assembly 0516 and the regeneration fan 0523 can be installed through the heating housing 0505. Since the regeneration fan 0523 is connected to the accommodating chamber 0508 and the return air duct 1004, that is, the air inlet of the regeneration fan 0523 is connected to the air outlet of the return air duct 1004, the air outlet of the regeneration fan 0523 is connected to the air inlet of the accommodating chamber 0508 (the heating housing air inlet 1015), and the return air duct 1004 is connected to the air inlet 1002, the regeneration fan 0523 generates a negative pressure in the return air duct 1004 and the air inlet duct 1002, and generates a positive pressure in the accommodating chamber 0508, so that the intake airflow enters the accommodating chamber 0508 from the air inlet duct 1002 under the action of the regeneration fan 0523. The intake airflow entering the accommodating cavity 0508 is heated by the heating component 0516 arranged in the accommodating cavity 0508 to form a high-temperature exhaust airflow which is discharged from the air outlet of the accommodating cavity 0508 (the air outlet 1016 of the heating shell). At this time, the flow rate of the exhaust airflow is attenuated compared to the flow rate of the intake airflow.
[0674] Because accommodating chamber 0508 is connected to outlet channel 1003 (i.e., the outlet of accommodating chamber 0508 is connected to the inlet of outlet channel 1003), positive pressure is generated within outlet channel 1003, causing the high-temperature exhaust air entering outlet channel 1003 to be discharged to the outside through the outlet of outlet channel 1003. Because return air channel 1004 is connected to outlet channel 1003, and the velocity of the intake airflow is higher than the velocity of the exhaust airflow, the pressure of the intake airflow is lower than the pressure of the exhaust airflow, thereby creating a pressure difference between the intake and exhaust airflows. Due to this pressure difference, a portion of the exhaust airflow flows through return air channel 1004 toward the intake airflow, causing a portion of the high-temperature exhaust airflow to mix with the intake airflow within inlet channel 1002, thereby preheating the intake airflow within inlet channel 1002. In this way, part of the heat of the exhaust airflow returns to the regeneration module 0502, thereby reducing the heat of the exhaust airflow discharged from the air outlet channel 1003, reducing the heat loss of the regeneration module 0502, and improving the heat utilization rate of the regeneration module 0502.
[0675] When the exhaust airflow is high-temperature, humid, and wet, a portion of the high-temperature, humid exhaust airflow will flow back through the outlet duct 1003 into the return air duct 1004, mixing with the intake airflow entering the return air duct 1004 from the intake duct 1002. Humid airflow is a good conductor of heat, allowing more heat to flow back into the return air duct 1004, thereby better preheating the intake airflow within the return air duct 1004. Therefore, when the exhaust airflow is high-temperature, humid, and wet, the heat content of the exhaust airflow discharged from the outlet duct 1003 can be further reduced compared to when the exhaust airflow is high-temperature, thereby further improving heat utilization.
[0676] Therefore, the regeneration module 0502 can realize the backflow of part of the exhaust airflow in the air outlet channel 1003. In particular, when the airflow in the regeneration module 0502 is used as a heat conductor, the heat can be backflowed in the regeneration module 0502, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing heat loss and improving heat utilization.

[0679] In some embodiments, when clothes need to be dried, the circulating fan 0536 is started, and the moisture in the wet air flow in the drum of the clothes processing equipment is adsorbed by the molecular sieve, so that the wet air flow is converted into a dry air flow. The dry air flow enters the circulating air chamber 0525 through the circulating fan 0536, and then enters the drum through the circulating air chamber 0525 to dry the clothes, thereby improving the drying efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
[0680] In some embodiments, the molecular sieve is rotatably mounted on the main shell 0524. During the rotation, the molecular sieve circulates through the inlet of the circulation fan 0536 and the regeneration air chamber 0526, continuously adsorbing and desorbing moisture. In this way, a continuous dry airflow can be obtained to enter the drum, fully contact the clothes, improve the drying efficiency, and reduce energy consumption.
