Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0071] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third person singular form "comprises" and the present participle form "comprising", are to be interpreted as open and inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example", "specific example" or "some examples" are intended to indicate that the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics associated with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. The schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.

[0072] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0073] When describing some embodiments, the expressions "coupled" and "connected" and their derivatives may be used. The term "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. The term "coupled" indicates that two or more components are in direct physical or electrical contact. The term "coupled" or "communicatively coupled" may also refer to two or more components that are not in direct contact with each other, but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the contents of this document.

[0074] “At least one of A, B and C” has the same meaning as “at least one of A, B or C” and both include the following combinations of A, B and C: A only, B only, C only, the combination of A and B, the combination of A and C, the combination of B and C, and the combination of A, B and C.

[0075] “A and / or B” includes the following three combinations: A only, B only, and a combination of A and B.

[0076] The use of "adapted to" or "configured to" herein is intended to be open and inclusive language that does not exclude devices adapted or configured to perform additional tasks or steps.

[0077] As used herein, "about," "substantially," or "approximately" includes the stated value and an average value that is within an acceptable range of deviation from the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurements in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).

[0078] As used herein, "parallel", "perpendicular", and "equal" include the situations described and situations similar to the situations described, and the range of the similar situations is within an acceptable deviation range, wherein the acceptable deviation range is as determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurement in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the specific quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate parallelism can be, for example, a deviation within 5°; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate perpendicularity can also be, for example, a deviation within 5°. "Equal" includes absolute equality and approximate equality, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate equality can be, for example, that the difference between the two equals is less than or equal to 5% of either one.

[0079] With the continuous use of clothing processing equipment, clothing lint will accumulate in the drying duct, the fan impeller, the air outlet of the outer drum, and the air inlet temperature probe. The continuous accumulation of lint will clog the air duct and impeller, affecting the operation of the fan and the drying efficiency of the drying device.

[0080] Related technologies prevent lint accumulation by installing a connector between the air inlet and outlet, and installing a nozzle inside the connector to spray water at the outlet. However, this method uses a single nozzle and can only flush a single location. Because the air outlet and air inlet are located at different locations, this method cannot flush lint accumulated at outlets and inlets located at different locations.

[0081] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a laundry processing device 100. For example, the laundry processing device 100 may include a washing machine, a dryer, or a drum washer-dryer.

[0082] The laundry processing device 100 is equipped with a flushing unit, which includes a flushing cavity. The flushing cavity is used to expand the area where the flushing port is located, thereby enabling the configuration of flushing ports for different objects as needed, such as a first flushing port, a second flushing port, a third flushing port, and a fourth flushing port. In flushing mode, these flushing ports can flush different locations and objects within the laundry processing device 100, resolving the problem of conventional laundry processing devices 100 having a single flushing location. This improves the ability to clean lint at various locations, thereby preventing lint accumulation and enhancing drying efficiency.

The second cavity 32 communicates with the delivery port 111 through the second opening 31.

[0108] In this way, the user can place the clothes to be washed into the inner drum 3 through the loading port 111, the first opening 21 and the second opening 31 for washing.

[0109] The inner cylinder 3 further includes a third wall 33 (a circumferential wall of the inner cylinder). A water-permeable hole is provided on the third wall 33 and passes through the third wall 33 . Water can flow in and out of the second cavity 32 through the water-permeable hole.

[0110] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a door 42 rotatably connected to the housing 1 , and the door 42 is configured to open or close the loading port 111 . For example, the door 42 is rotatably connected to the first plate 11 .

[0111] When the door body 42 rotates in a direction away from the first plate 11, the loading port 111 is opened, and the user can put the clothes to be washed into the inner drum 3 through the loading port 111. When the door body 42 rotates in a direction close to the first plate 11, the loading port 111 is closed.

[0112] 1 to 3C , the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a door seal 41 connected between the inlet 111 and the first opening 21. The door seal 41 is configured to provide a seal when the door 42 is closed. Furthermore, the door seal 41 is configured to seal the gap between the inlet 111 and the first opening 21, thereby preventing wash water in the outer tub 2 from flowing out through the gap between the outer tub 2 and the outer tub 2 and entering the inner tub 1. Furthermore, the door seal 41 prevents foreign matter from entering the gap between the outer tub 2 and the inner tub 3.

[0113] 4 to 6 , the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a drying device 5 , which is disposed outside the outer drum 2 . The drying device 5 is configured to dry the laundry in the inner drum 3 .

[0114] In some embodiments, the drying device 5 includes a housing 50 (air duct housing) disposed outside the outer tub 2 .

[0115] In some embodiments, the housing 50 includes a first sub-housing.

[0116] The housing 50 further includes a second sub-housing, which is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 2. The first sub-housing and the second sub-housing can be fixedly connected by screws.

[0117] In some embodiments, the drying device 5 further includes a first channel 51 (drying air duct), and the first channel 51 is located in the housing 50. For example, the first channel 51 is located between the first sub-housing and the second sub-housing.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first channel 51 includes an air inlet 512 , which is disposed at a first end of the first channel 51 and communicates with the air outlet 231 of the outer tube 2 . For example, the air inlet 512 may be disposed in the second sub-housing 502 .

[0119] In some embodiments, the first channel 51 further includes an air outlet, which is disposed at the second end of the first channel 51. The air outlet is communicated with the second opening 31 and is connected to the second cavity 32 through the second opening 31.

[0120] In this way, an air inlet 512 and an air outlet are respectively provided at both ends of the first channel 51 , and the air outlet is connected to the delivery port 111 , and the air inlet 512 is connected to the air outlet 231 , so that the first channel 51 and the second cavity 32 form an air circulation channel.

[0121] In some embodiments, the second end of the first channel 51 is inserted into the door seal 41. Air in the first channel 51 passes through the door seal 41 and the second opening 31 and enters the inner drum 3. The air inlet 512 of the first channel 51 is located near the rear side of the outer drum 2, away from the door seal 41. This allows the length of the first channel 51 to be extended, increasing the length of the air circulation path and thus improving the drying effect.

[0122] In some embodiments, the drying device 5 further includes a dryer configured to dry the air in the first passage 51. It is understood that the dryer may include an evaporator and a condenser sequentially disposed in the first passage 51. The moist cold air passes through the evaporator and the condenser in sequence, and then becomes dry hot air, which then flows back into the second chamber 32 to dry the clothes.

[0123] 42 and 43 , in some embodiments, the drying device 5 further includes a fan 852 disposed at one end of the first passage 51 near the air inlet 512. The fan 852 is configured to drive the hot and humid air within the second chamber 32. The fan 852 is also configured to dry the air entering the first passage 51.

[0124] For example, the fan 852 can guide the air in the outer tub 2 to flow from the outer tub 2 to the first channel 51 and send the humid air into the dryer. In this way, the fan 852 continuously pumps the humid air in the outer tub 2 to the dryer for heating, thereby drying the clothes.

[0125] It is understandable that placing the fan 852 near the air inlet 512 can speed up air circulation and improve drying efficiency.

[0126] In some embodiments, the first channel 51 further includes a sixth cavity 511 (fan cavity), and the fan 852 is disposed in the sixth cavity 511 . The sixth cavity 511 is disposed near the air outlet 231 .

[0127] When the clothing processing device 100 is drying clothes, the air in the inner drum 3 exchanges heat with the clothes to form humid hot air. The humid hot air enters the outer drum 2 and enters the first channel 51 through the air outlet 231. The humid hot air is dried in the first channel 51 to form dry air. The dry air flows into the second cavity 32 through the second end of the first channel 51 to exchange heat with the clothes to dry the clothes.

[0128] In some embodiments, the outer tube 2 further includes a second channel 261 (air outlet duct). The second channel 261 can be connected to the first cavity 22 through an air return port.

[0129] In some embodiments, the return air vent and the air outlet 231 are respectively located at both ends of the second channel 261. For example, the return air vent can be located at the first end of the second channel 261. The air outlet 231 can be located at the second end of the second channel 261. For example, the air outlet 231 can be located at the top end of the second channel 261.

[0130] 24 to 27 , the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a first groove 230 (air collecting groove). The first groove 230 is disposed on the first wall 23 of the outer tub 2 and projects away from the first opening 21. One end of the first groove 230 extends through the outer wall of the outer tub 2 to communicate with the air outlet 231. A second channel 261 may be disposed within the first groove 230.

[0131] The air in the outer tube 2 is first concentrated by the first groove 230 and then enters the first channel 51 through the air outlet 231. This is conducive to the concentration of air and can slow down the flow rate of air, so that the air flows smoothly to the air outlet 231, thereby reducing noise.

[0132] In some embodiments, in order to improve the drying effect and drying efficiency, a condensation device can be provided on the side of the first wall 23 close to the first opening 21 (i.e., the front side). The condensation device is configured to condense the humid and hot air before or when the humid and hot air enters the first channel 51, so that the humid and hot air is cooled and dehumidified.

[0133] 7 to 9 , the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a condensation tray 52 , which is disposed in the outer drum 2 and connected to the first wall 23 . The condensation tray 52 is configured to exchange heat with the hot and humid air when drying the laundry, condensing the moisture in the hot and humid air to reduce the moisture content of the hot and humid air.

[0134] In this way, by arranging the condensation tray 52 in the outer drum 2, the condensation tray 52 can condense the water in the humid hot air, which can have the effect of pre-dehumidifying the humid heat, reduce the burden of the drying device 5 in the first channel 51, improve the dryness of the humid hot air after drying, and reduce the drying time of clothes.

[0135] In some embodiments, referring to FIG8 , the projection of the inner wall of first wall 23 in the front-to-back direction is M1, and the projection area of ​​condensation pan 52 in the front-to-back direction is M2, where M2 / M1>1 / 4, and M2 / M1<1. This ensures the area of ​​condensation pan 52, preventing poor condensation performance due to a too small condensation pan 52. This improves pre-dehumidification performance, reduces the burden on the drying device within first channel 51, increases the dryness of the hot and humid air after drying, and reduces clothing drying time.

[0136] During the drying process, lint is generated. During the air flow, the air easily carries the lint into the first channel 51, causing the lint to adhere to the inner surface of the first channel 51 and the surface of the drying device 5. After a long period of accumulation, the lint affects the patency of the first channel 51 and the heat exchange effect between the drying device 5 and the air, thereby increasing the drying time.

[0137] In some embodiments, a filter device is provided at the air outlet 231 to filter debris from the air entering the air outlet 231. For example, the filter device can be provided on the condensation tray 52 for ease of installation. Alternatively, the filter device can be provided separately for ease of removal and maintenance.

[0138] In some embodiments, condensate pan 52 includes a condensate pan body 520 .

[0139] The condensation pan 52 further includes a shielding portion 521 , which is disposed at a position of the condensation pan body 520 corresponding to the position of the air outlet 231 . The shielding portion 521 is configured to shield the air outlet 231 .

[0140] In some embodiments, the shielding portion 521 includes a filter portion 5211 , which connects the air outlet 231 and the space of the condensation pan 52 near the first opening 21 . The filter portion 5211 is configured to filter air flowing through the filter portion 5211 .

[0141] In this way, a filter portion 5211 is provided at the shielding portion 521 of the condensation plate 52, which can filter hair debris in the air to prevent hair debris from entering the first channel 51, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency in the first channel 51 and avoiding extending the drying time.

[0142] In some embodiments, in order to improve the ventilation efficiency at the shielding portion 521, the shielding portion 521 also includes an air hole 5212, which also connects the air outlet 231 and the space on the side of the condensation plate 52 close to the first opening 21. The air hole 5212 is configured to allow air to flow through the air hole 5212 into the air outlet 231.

[0143] In this way, the air holes 5212 are provided at the shielding portion 521 to ensure the return air volume, thereby ensuring the drying efficiency.

[0144] The hot and humid air generated by drying the clothes in the second chamber 32 of the inner drum 3 enters the outer drum 2, and the hot and humid air flows from the side of the condensation plate 52 close to the first opening 21 to the condensation plate 52. The hot and humid air exchanges heat with the condensation plate 52 to condense the moisture in the hot and humid air, and the hot and humid air flows to the air outlet 231 through the filter portion 5211 and the air hole 5212. The hot and humid air passing through the air outlet 231 enters the first channel 51, and the filter portion 5211 filters the hot and humid air flowing through the filter portion 5211.

[0145] In some embodiments, the filter portion 5211 includes at least one filter hole 52111 .

[0146] In some embodiments, the filter holes 52111 are vertically arranged in the longitudinal direction, that is, the filter holes 52111 extend along the up-down direction of the box body 1 .

[0147] In some embodiments, the at least one filter hole 52111 includes a plurality of filter holes 52111 , and the plurality of filter holes 52111 are arranged in at least one row.

[0148] The length of the filter hole 52111 is any value between 15 mm and 30 mm. For example, the length of the filter hole 52111 can be 25 mm.

[0149] The width of the filter hole 52111 is any value between 3 mm and 7 mm. For example, the width of the filter hole 52111 can be 5 mm.

[0150] It is understandable that if the filter holes 52111 are too long, the filtering effect will be reduced, and if the filter holes 52111 are too short, the ventilation effect will be affected.

[0151] In some embodiments, the filter hole 52111 includes three sections, namely a first section 521111, a second section 521112 and a third section 521113, and the second section 521112 is located between the first section 521111 and the third section 521113.

[0152] In some embodiments, the longitudinal cross-section of the first segment 521111 is semicircular, the longitudinal cross-section of the second segment 521112 is rectangular, and the longitudinal cross-section of the third segment 521113 is semicircular.

[0153] In some embodiments, when the filter hole 52111 includes the second section 521112, the width of the second section 521112 is any value between 3 mm and 7 mm. For example, the width of the second section 521112 may be 5 mm.

[0154] In some embodiments, when the filter portion 5211 includes a plurality of filter holes 52111 , the plurality of filter holes are arranged in at least one row, and the filter holes 52111 in any row of the at least one row are arranged in this manner along the extension direction of the arc.

[0155] In some embodiments, if the filter holes 52111 are arranged in at least two rows, the arcs where the at least two rows of filter holes 52111 are located are concentric arcs.

[0156] In some embodiments, the center of the arc along which the filter holes 52111 are arranged is located at the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3.

[0157] In some embodiments, referring to FIG8 , the opening area of ​​the air outlet 231 is M3, and the air flow area of ​​the air hole 5212 corresponding to the air outlet 231 is M4, where M4 is smaller than M3, and 1>M4 / M3≥1 / 4. This can reduce return air resistance, ensure return air volume, and maintain drying efficiency.

[0158] In some embodiments, the air flow area of ​​the filter hole 52111 corresponding to the air outlet 231 is M5, and M5 is smaller than M4. In this way, the filtering effect of the filter hole 52111 is guaranteed, and hair debris is prevented from flowing into the first channel 51 through the filter hole 52111.

[0159] In some embodiments, the center of the third through hole 232 of the outer cylinder 2 may coincide with the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3. That is, the center of the third through hole 232 of the outer cylinder 2 may coincide with the center of the rotating shaft 54.

[0160] In some embodiments, the condensation pan 52 is disposed outside the third through hole 232 of the outer tub 2. For example, the condensation pan 52 is located between the third through hole 232 and the second wall 24 of the outer tub 2.

[0161] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 , the condensation pan 52 is annular or annular with a notch.

[0162] When the condensation pan 52 is annular, the condensation pan 52 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 54 ​​, and the condensation pan 52 is surrounded on the outside of the third through hole 232 of the outer cylinder 2 .

[0163] When the condensation pan 52 is annular, the condensation pan 52 may be a circular ring. When the condensation pan 52 is a circular ring, the center of the contour of the condensation pan 52 is located on the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3 .

[0164] When the condensation pan 52 is in a ring shape with a gap, the condensation pan 52 may be in a semi-ring shape, etc. The condensation pan 52 is disposed between the third through hole 232 and the second wall 24 of the outer cylinder 2 .

[0165] When the condensation pan 52 is annular with a notch, at least one of the contour of the condensation pan 52 on the side close to the third through hole 232 of the outer cylinder 2 or the contour of the condensation pan 52 on the side away from the third through hole 232 of the outer cylinder 2 can be an arc, and the center of the arc is located at the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3, that is, the center of the rotating shaft 54.

[0166] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 9 and 10 , the laundry treatment apparatus 100 further includes a third chamber 53 (condensation chamber) located between the condensation pan 52 and the first wall 23. Condensate enters and flows out of the third chamber 53, thereby lowering the temperature of the condensation pan. The condensate flows into the outer tub 2 and is discharged from the outer tub through the drain port 251 of the outer tub 2.

[0167] In this way, by introducing condensed water into the third chamber 53, the temperature of the condensation pan 52 is lowered, ensuring that the condensation pan 52 can effectively condense the hot and humid air. In this way, the condensation pan 52 can exchange heat with the hot and humid air generated during the clothes drying process, condensing the moisture in the hot and humid air, thereby reducing the humidity of the hot and humid air.

[0168] 9 to 11 , the water in the third chamber 53 can flow to the bottom of the outer tub 2 through the gap between the condensation pan 52 and the first wall 23. Alternatively, the third chamber 53 is provided with a third opening 534 (open condensation chamber). The third chamber 53 communicates with the outer tub space in front of the condensation pan 52 through the third opening 534. Condensed water flows out of the third chamber 53 through the third opening 534, into the outer tub 2, and out of the outer tub 2 through the drain port 251 of the outer tub 2.

[0169] 12 , the condensation pan body 520 is recessed toward a side away from the first wall 23 .

[0170] The condensation pan 52 further includes a third groove 531 (condensation groove), which is provided on a side of the condensation pan body 520 close to the first wall 23 and forms a protrusion on a side of the condensation pan body 520 away from the first wall 23. A third cavity 53 is defined between the third groove 531 and the first wall 23.

[0171] 9 to 11 , the third chamber 53 includes at least one first sub-chamber 532 (a first condensation chamber). The first sub-chamber 532 is disposed outside the third through hole 232 of the outer cylinder 2 and extends circumferentially around the condensation pan body 520. For example, the first sub-chamber 532 may extend in an arc or circular shape.

[0172] In some embodiments, the at least one first sub-cavity 532 includes a plurality of first sub-cavities 532 .

[0173] In some embodiments, the third chamber 53 further includes at least one second sub-chamber 533 (second condensation chamber), and the first sub-chamber 532 and the second sub-chamber 533 are connected. The first end of the second sub-chamber 533 is close to the third through hole 232 of the outer tube 2, and the second end of the second sub-chamber 533 is away from the third through hole 232 of the outer tube 2.

[0174] In some embodiments, the at least one second sub-cavity 533 includes a plurality of second sub-cavities 533. The plurality of second sub-cavities 533 may be radially distributed, extending radially of the condensate pan body 520, and spaced apart axially along the condensate pan body 520. The second sub-cavities 533 are spaced apart around the rotation axis of the inner drum 3, and the extension direction of the second sub-cavities 533 may intersect the rotation axis of the inner drum 3.

[0175] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 11 , FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 , the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a first water inlet channel 252 (condensed water inlet channel), which is provided in the outer tub 2 .

[0176] The first water inlet channel 252 includes a first water inlet 2521 (condensed water inlet).

[0177] The first water inlet channel 252 further includes a water outlet 2522 (channel outlet). The first water inlet 2521 is located at the top of the water outlet 2522 , and the water outlet 2522 is communicated with the third chamber 53 .

[0178] In some embodiments, the first water inlet channel 252 may be disposed vertically, that is, the central axis of the first water inlet channel 252 may be disposed vertically.

[0179] In some embodiments, the central axis of the first water inlet channel 252 intersects with the rotation axis of the inner drum 3 .

[0180] In some embodiments, the water outlet 2522 may be disposed toward the bottom of the housing 1 , and a vertical line where the center of the water outlet 2522 is located intersects with the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3 .

[0181] 15 , the third chamber 53 further includes a third sub-chamber 5351 (a first-side condensation chamber). The third sub-chamber 5351 is located on one side of the vertical line where the center of the water outlet 2522 is located.

[0182] The third chamber 53 further includes a fourth sub-chamber 5352 (second side condensation chamber). The fourth sub-chamber 5352 is located on the other side of the vertical line where the center of the water outlet 2522 is located.

[0183] The third sub-cavity 5351 and the fourth sub-cavity 5352 are located on either side of the vertical line of the center of the water outlet 2522. This ensures that condensed water flows through both sides of the rear wall of the inner cylinder 3, increasing the exchange area between condensed water and moist air, and ensuring the condensation capacity of all parts of the condensation pan 52.

[0184] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a water diversion portion 253 (water diversion space), which is located on the inner wall of the rear wall of the outer tub 2, i.e., the inner wall of the first wall 23. The water diversion portion 253 opens toward the first opening 21 and communicates with the third chamber 53. The provision of the water diversion portion 253 facilitates the diversion of condensed water into the third chamber 53.

[0185] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 11 to 14 , the outer cylinder 2 further includes a first sealing portion 254, which is disposed on the front surface of the first wall 23. The first sealing portion 254 is disposed around the outside of the third through hole 232 of the outer cylinder 2. The top of the first sealing portion 254 is located above the third through hole 232 of the outer cylinder 2, and both ends of the first sealing portion 254 extend away from the first wall 23. The vertical height of both ends of the first sealing portion 254 is lower than the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3.

[0186] In some embodiments, the condensation pan 52 further includes a second sealing portion 522 , which is disposed on the condensation pan body 520 and matches the first sealing portion 254 . The condensation pan 52 and the first wall 23 are sealed together by the first sealing portion 254 and the second sealing portion 522 .

[0187] In some embodiments, the first sealing portion 254 is a first sealing groove, and the first sealing groove is an arc-shaped sealing groove.

[0188] In some embodiments, the second sealing portion 522 is a first sealing plate, which is an arc-shaped plate. The first sealing plate is inserted into the first sealing groove to achieve a sealed fit between the first sealing portion 254 and the second sealing portion 522. This seals the edge of the upper half of the contour of the condensate pan 52 near the third through hole 232 of the outer cylinder 2 against the first wall 23, preventing condensate from leaking from above the third through hole 232 of the outer cylinder 2 and affecting its flow to the bottom of the third sub-cavity 5351 and the bottom of the fourth sub-cavity 5352. This ensures that the condensate fills the entire third cavity 53, thereby ensuring the condensation effect of the condensate pan 52.

[0189] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 11 to 14 , the air outlet 231 is located on the side of the water diversion portion 253. The outer tub 2 further includes a third sealing portion 255, which is disposed on the inner surface of the first wall 23 and located between the air outlet 231 and the water diversion portion 253. The third sealing portion 255 abuts against the condensation pan 52 to prevent condensed water from flowing from the side of the air outlet 231 to the air outlet 231. This prevents the air in the outer tub 2 from carrying condensed water when flowing to the air outlet 231, thereby reducing air humidity and improving drying efficiency.

[0190] In some embodiments, the third sealing portion 255 is a sealing rib, which is disposed in the third cavity 53 and abuts against the inner wall of the third cavity 53 , and is disposed in the second sub-cavity 533 .

For example, the fifth sealing portion 523 is a second sealing plate inserted into the second sealing groove. This prevents water in the third chamber 53 from overflowing upward toward the air outlet 231.

[0193] 17 and 18 , the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a fifth chamber 241 (heating chamber), which is disposed at the bottom of the outer tub 2. For example, the fifth chamber 241 is disposed at the bottom of the second wall 24 and is recessed toward the side close to the housing 1.

[0198] In some embodiments, the drying device 5 further includes a heating device 58 , which is configured to heat the water in the fifth chamber 241 to generate water vapor, and the generated water vapor can be used to steam and iron clothes.

[0199] In some embodiments, the heating device 58 is fixed to the first sub-wall 2411 .

[0200] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a fifth through hole, which is provided in the first sub-wall 2411 and passes through the first sub-wall 2411 in the front-to-back direction of the housing 1. The heating device 58 is fixed to the first sub-wall through the fifth through hole.

[0201] In some embodiments, the heating device 58 includes a heating portion 581 , which is inserted into the fifth cavity 241 . The heating portion 581 heats water in the fifth cavity 241 to generate water vapor.

[0202] In some embodiments, the heating portion 581 may be a heating tube, and the heating tube may be bent into several sections.

[0203] In some embodiments, the heating device 58 further includes a fifth fixing member 582 (heating fixing portion), which is connected to the heating portion 581 and the first sub-wall 2411. The fifth fixing member 582 can fix the heating device 58 in the fifth cavity 241.

[0204] In some embodiments, the fifth fixing member 582 is disposed in the fifth through hole, and the fifth fixing member 582 is connected to the first sub-wall 2411 .

[0205] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 19 to FIG. 23 , the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a first sensor 7 (a first temperature sensor). The first sensor 7 is disposed in the fifth cavity 241 , and the first sensor 7 is configured to detect the temperature in the fifth cavity 241 .

[0206] In some embodiments, the first sensor 7 can detect the water temperature in the fifth chamber 241 .

[0207] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a water retaining portion 6 (water retaining rib), which is disposed in the fifth cavity 241. The water retaining portion 6 is connected to the outer tub 2 and is located below the first sensor 7 in the height direction of the housing 1.

[0208] When the condensed water flows through the third chamber 53 to the fifth chamber 241, the condensed water flows through the water retaining portion 6, and the water retaining portion 6 will block the condensed water from flowing to the first sensor 7, thereby isolating the condensed water from the first sensor 7, avoiding the water temperature of the condensed water from affecting the detection results of the first sensor 7, and improving the accuracy of the data of the first sensor 7.

[0209] In some embodiments, the water retaining portion 6 includes a first surface 61 (bottom surface), the first sensor 7 is located below the first surface 61, and the first sensor 7 is spaced apart from the first surface 61, thereby preventing the condensed water from contacting the first sensor 7 when part of the condensed water flows to the first surface 61 of the water retaining portion 6.

[0210] In some embodiments, the plane where the first surface 61 is located is set horizontally, so that the condensed water can be prevented from flowing to the first surface 61 of the water retaining portion 6 under the action of gravity, and further the condensed water can be prevented from dripping onto the first sensor 7.

[0211] In some embodiments, the water retaining portion 6 also includes a second surface 62 (top surface), and the second surface 62 is arranged in an arc shape. The arc-shaped second surface 62 can buffer the condensed water flowing onto the water retaining portion 6, avoiding the condensed water from violently colliding with the water retaining portion 6 and splashing water, and preventing the splashing water from falling onto the first sensor 7, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection value of the first sensor 7.

[0212] In some embodiments, the midpoint of the horizontal length of the first surface 61 of the water retaining portion 6 is defined as the center point of the water retaining portion 6, and the line connecting the center point of the water retaining portion 6 and the rotation center point of the inner drum 3 is not perpendicular to the plane in which the first surface 61 lies. That is, in the height direction of the housing 1, the center point of the water retaining portion 6 is offset relative to the rotation center point of the inner drum 3, which can increase the installation space for the first sensor 7 and the heating device 58, reduce the thickness of the water retaining portion 6, and further reduce the size between the bottom of the outer drum 2 and the inner drum 3. In other words, the height dimension of the fifth chamber can be reduced, thereby reducing the height dimension of the clothing processing apparatus 100.

[0213] In some embodiments, on a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the housing 1, the projection of the first sensor 7 is spaced apart from the projection of the rotation center of the inner drum 3. Since the distance between the bottom of the outer drum 2 and the inner drum 3 is limited, offsetting the first sensor 7 from the rotation center of the inner drum 3 can increase the installation space for the first sensor 7 and the heating device 58, reduce the thickness of the water retaining portion 6, and thereby reduce the distance between the bottom of the outer drum 2 and the inner drum 3. This can reduce the height dimension of the fifth chamber 241, thereby reducing the height dimension of the laundry processing apparatus 100.

[0214] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a second sensor 9 (second temperature sensor), which is disposed within the sixth cavity 511. The second sensor 9 is configured to detect the temperature of the air within the sixth cavity 511. The second sensor 9 may be disposed through a cavity wall of the sixth cavity 511. The second sensor 9 includes a probe, which is disposed within the sixth cavity 511 and configured to detect temperature.

[0215] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a heating assembly disposed within the first channel 51 connecting the sixth chamber 511 and the laundry inlet, and configured to heat the air within the first channel 51. Driven by the fan 852, the air within the first channel 51 is heated by the heating tube and then enters the second chamber 32, removing moisture from the laundry within the second chamber 32 to form hot and humid air. The hot and humid air is then condensed in the condensation pan 52 and returned to the sixth chamber 511 through the air outlet 231.

[0216] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device 100 further includes a third sensor 10 (third temperature sensor), which is disposed in the first channel 51 near the inlet 111 and is configured to detect the temperature of the air heated by the heating component.

[0217] In this way, the heating component can be turned on and off to maintain the required inlet air temperature by controlling the value detected by the third sensor 10. If it is determined that the temperature detected by the third sensor 10 is greater than the preset temperature value, the laundry processing device 100 enters the main drying stage and opens the first valve to inject condensed water into the third chamber 53.

[0218] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device 100 further includes a controller 300. The controller 300 may be a chip or a processor. For example, the processor may be a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Alternatively, the controller 300 may be a programmable device, including a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), an erasable programmable logic device (EPLD), or a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The chip may be an integrated circuit (IC).

[0219] In some embodiments, the controller 300 is configured to: if the controller 300 receives the first signal, start the drying mode and determine the corresponding inertia value according to the detected weight of the objects to be dried in the second chamber 32 .

[0220] The controller 300 may be provided with a preset algorithm, and the inertia value corresponding to the weight of the object to be dried may be calculated according to the preset algorithm.

[0221] The inertia value is a parameter that is positively correlated with the load mass in the drum. The greater the load, the greater the inertia value, and the longer the required drying time Tmax.

[0222] In some embodiments, the control algorithm preset in the controller 300 can also determine the first stop judgment parameter Tx, the second stop judgment parameter Ty and the maximum drying time Tmax according to the inertia value.

[0223] The timing starts when the drying mode is turned on, and the timing time is defined as T.

[0224] When the drying mode is on, the fan 852 is turned on and runs. When the drying mode is on, the heating component is turned on and runs.

[0225] When the drying mode is turned on, the third sensor 10 detects the third temperature of the air flowing through the heating assembly. When the third temperature rises to a preset temperature, the controller 300 controls the first valve to open.

[0226] The air passes through the heating element, generating hot air. This hot air enters the inner drum 3, evaporating moisture from the wet clothes to form hot and humid air. Finally, the moisture in the hot and humid air is condensed and precipitated in the condensing device through water cooling, and then flows out the drain. This circulating air process is repeated continuously until the clothes are dried.

[0227] In some embodiments, the first sensor 7 is disposed at the bottom of the outer tube 2 and located between the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 3 . The first sensor 7 is configured to detect a first temperature Ta of the air at the bottom of the outer tube 2 .

[0228] The second sensor 9 is disposed in the first passage 51 close to the air outlet 231 . The second sensor 9 is configured to detect a second temperature Tb of the air flowing back through the air outlet 231 .

[0229] In some embodiments, the controller 300 is further configured to: in the drying mode, control the first valve to open. When the first valve is opened, condensed water is injected into the third chamber 53 through the first valve. The difference between the second temperature Tb and the first temperature Ta at the same time point is defined as ΔT. According to the first preset time interval, n values ​​of ΔT are sequentially taken and recorded as ΔT1, ΔT2, ΔT3, ... ΔT. n The first preset time interval may be set to 1 second.

[0230] Calculate the difference ΔTz between the maximum ΔTmax and ΔTmin of ΔT within the first preset time period. If the difference ΔTz is determined to be less than or equal to the preset temperature difference, define the average of n ΔTs within the first preset time period as ΔTn'. Calculate the difference ΔTm between the second temperature Tb and the first temperature Ta sequentially at the second preset time interval. The first preset time period can be 10 minutes, and the preset temperature difference can be 1.5°C.

[0231] If ΔTm - ΔTn' ≥ Tx and Tb ≥ Ty is determined, the drying mode is terminated. Tx is the first termination parameter, and Ty is the second termination parameter. If ΔTm - ΔTn' ≥ Tx, the difference between the second temperature Tb and the first temperature Ta is large, indicating low humidity in the circulating air. Tb ≥ Ty further confirms low humidity in the circulating air, suspending the drying mode.

[0232] It is understandable that in the later stages of the drying mode, as the dryness of the laundry load in the inner drum 3 increases, the heat exchange rate between the circulating air and the load decreases, causing the return air temperature of the first channel 51 to gradually increase, that is, the second temperature Tb gradually increases. As the dryness of the load increases, the heat exchange rate between the circulating air and the condensed water also decreases, causing the air temperature at the bottom of the outer drum 2 to gradually decrease, that is, the temperature value of the third sensor 10 gradually decreases during the drying process. The detection values ​​of the second sensor 9 and the third sensor 10 are used to determine the humidity of the circulating air and, therefore, the end of the drying mode.

[0233] In the method for calculating the difference ΔTz between the maximum ΔTmax and ΔTmin of ΔT within the first preset time period, if the difference ΔTz is determined to exceed the preset temperature difference, the difference ΔTm between the second temperature Tb and the first temperature Ta is calculated sequentially at second preset time intervals until ΔTm-ΔTn' ≥ Tx and Tb ≥ Ty, at which point the drying mode is terminated. At this point, the difference between the second temperature Tb and the first temperature Ta is small, indicating a high humidity in the circulating air within the laundry treatment apparatus 100. If Tb ≥ Ty is determined, the humidity in the circulating air can be further determined to be high, thereby avoiding misjudgments.

[0234] In some embodiments, the controller 300 is further configured to start timing when the drying mode is activated, defining the timing time as T. If ΔTm-ΔTn' < Tx and Tb < Ty, then determine whether T exceeds Tmax. If T ≥ Tmax, the drying mode is terminated. This prevents damage to the machine caused by excessive drying time.

[0235] In some embodiments, the controller 300 is further configured to: in the drying mode, control the first valve to open. When the first valve is open, condensed water flows into the third chamber 53 through the first valve, and the difference between the second temperature Tb and the first temperature Ta at the same time point is defined as ΔT.

[0236] Sequentially obtain the first temperature Ta and second temperature Tb at the corresponding time point every second, and define the difference between the average value of the obtained first temperature Ta and the average value of the second temperature Tb as Tj. Take the average value of m first temperatures Ta within m seconds as Taj, and take the average value of m second temperatures Tb within m seconds as Tbj. Define Tbj-Taj=ΔTj0.

[0237] Define the value of △Tj at (m+1) second as △Tj1, the value of △Tj at (m+2) second as △Tj2, and so on to the value of △T at (m+n) second as △Tj n △Tj n It is the difference between the average value of (m+n) Tb and the average value of (m+n) Ta in (m+n) seconds.

[0238] Starting from the (m+1)th second, the difference ΔTz between the maximum ΔTmax and ΔTmin of ΔT in the second preset time period is calculated. If the difference ΔTz is determined to be less than or equal to the preset temperature difference, the average of the n ΔT values ​​in the second preset time period is defined as ΔTn'. Starting from the (m+n+1)th second, the difference ΔTjx between the average of the second temperature and the average of the first temperature in the (m+n+1)th second is calculated. The second preset time period can be 10 minutes, and the preset temperature difference can be 1.5°C.

[0239] It is understood that if ΔTjx - ΔTn' ≥ Tx and Tb ≥ Ty is determined, the drying mode is terminated. Tx is the first termination parameter, and Ty is the second termination parameter. If ΔTjx - ΔTn' ≥ Tx is satisfied, the difference between the second temperature Tb and the first temperature Ta is large, indicating that the humidity of the circulating air is low. If Tb ≥ Ty is determined, it can be further determined that the humidity of the circulating air in the laundry treatment device 100 is low, and the drying mode can be terminated.

[0240] The processing method in some embodiments of the present disclosure can correct the temperature fluctuation of the second sensor 9 and the third sensor 10 during the drying process, thereby preventing the program from misjudging the drying process due to abnormal temperature fluctuations.

[0241] Some embodiments of the present disclosure first determine the difference between the second temperature Tb and the first temperature Ta in the drying mode to determine a baseline parameter ΔTn'. Subsequently, the dryness of the clothes is determined by continuously comparing the temperature difference ΔTj with this baseline parameter. This method can improve the accuracy of the dry stop judgment and solve the problem of wet or over-drying clothes under different loads, high and low ambient temperatures, and water temperature conditions.

[0242] In some embodiments, after the drying starts, the temperature values ​​of the second sensor 9 and the third sensor 10 are acquired once every 1 second, and the temperature values ​​are acquired 140 times continuously to obtain T a,1 、T a,2 、T a,3 ,…,T a,140 and T b,1 、T b,2 、T b,3 ,…,T b,140, calculate the arithmetic mean of the temperature values ​​of the first sensor 9 and the second sensor 10 respectively to obtain Taj and Tbj, and then obtain the temperature values ​​of the first sensor 9 and the second sensor 10 once every 1 second, and calculate the average values ​​again, and then roll over to continuously calculate new average values. This processing method can correct the temperature fluctuations of the second sensor 9 and the third sensor 10 during the drying process, thereby preventing the program from misjudging the drying process due to abnormal temperature fluctuations.

[0243] 34 , the laundry treating apparatus 100 may further include a reinforcement 81. The reinforcement 81 may be configured to support the tub 2.

[0244] 34 and 56 , the laundry treating apparatus 100 may include a shock absorber 82. The shock absorber 82 may absorb shock to the tub 2. A top end of the shock absorber 82 may be connected to the tub 2 to support the tub 2.

[0245] The diameters of the inner drum 3 and the outer drum 2 of a traditional clothing processing device are small, the gap between the outer drum 3 and the box body 1 is large, and the vibration of the whole machine is relatively small. By flanging the reinforcement to form a connecting portion and connecting the shock absorber to the connecting portion formed by the flanging, the vibration control requirements of the whole machine with a small diameter outer drum 2 can be met.

[0246] However, if the original housing, reinforcement and connection parts are still used when the diameter of the outer drum 2 is increased, the travel of the shock absorber may be limited. In addition, the original installation angle of the shock absorber will also affect the shock absorption effect and cannot meet the shock absorption requirements of the clothing processing device 100.

[0247] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 35 to FIG. 36 , the clothes treating apparatus 100 may include an adapter 83 .

[0248] The adapter 83 and the shock absorber 82 can be independent components. The adapter 83 and the shock absorber 82 can be separate components.

[0249] The adapter 83 and the reinforcement 81 can be independent components. The adapter 83 and the reinforcement 81 can be separate components.

[0250] The adapter 83 can be connected to the reinforcement 81. The adapter 83 can be connected to the shock absorber 82. The adapter 83 can be connected to the bottom end of the shock absorber 82.

[0251] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 34 and 35, a reinforcement member 81 may be provided in the housing 1. The reinforcement member 81 may be connected to the housing 1. The reinforcement member 81 may be located below the outer cylinder 2. The reinforcement member 81 may be provided along the front-to-back direction of the housing 1.

[0252] The reinforcement member 81 may include a first sub-reinforcement member 8101. In the width direction of the cabinet 1, the first sub-reinforcement member 8101 may be disposed on one side of the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3. The first sub-reinforcement member may be arranged in the front-back direction of the cabinet 1.

[0253] The reinforcement member 81 may further include a second sub-reinforcement member 8102. In the width direction of the cabinet 1, the second sub-reinforcement member 8102 may be disposed on one side of the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3. The second sub-reinforcement member 8102 may be arranged in the front-back direction of the cabinet 1.

[0254] The first sub-reinforcement member 8101 and the second sub-reinforcement member 8102 may be oppositely arranged. In the width direction of the cabinet 1, the first sub-reinforcement member 8101 and the second sub-reinforcement member 8102 may be located on both sides of the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3.

[0255] In some embodiments, there may be at least one pair of shock absorbers 82. For example, there may be one pair of shock absorbers 82. There may be two pairs of shock absorbers.

[0256] In some embodiments, the adapter 83 may be disposed on the reinforcement member 81. The adapter 83 may be connected to the reinforcement member 81.

[0257] There may be at least one pair of adapters 83. The number of the adapters 83 may be equal to the number of the shock absorbers 82. Two paired adapters 83 may be respectively connected to the first sub-reinforcement member 8101 and the second sub-reinforcement member 8102.

[0258] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 37, the adapter 83 may be provided with a first connection hole 8321 (the first connection hole of the adapter). The bottom end of the shock absorber 82 may be provided with a second connection hole 821 (the first connection hole of the shock absorber).

[0259] The laundry treatment device 100 may include a first fixing member 841. The first fixing member 841 may be inserted into the first connection hole 8321 and the second connection hole 821 to connect the shock absorber 82 and the adapter 83.

[0260] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 38, the outer diameter of the outer cylinder 2 may be a first diameter D1.

[0261] A first parameter value < D1. The first parameter value may be 550 mm or 555 mm or 560 mm. Setting the outer diameter of the outer cylinder to be greater than the first parameter value can make the outer cylinder 2 a large-diameter outer cylinder 2, so as to facilitate the setting of a large-diameter inner cylinder 3, thereby increasing the accommodation capacity of the inner cylinder 3.

[0262] D1 < the second parameter value. The second parameter value can be 570 mm, 575 mm, or 580 mm. Setting the outer diameter of the outer cylinder 2 to be less than the second parameter value can control the outer diameter of the outer cylinder 2 within a preset range, preventing the outer cylinder 2 from being too large and causing the cabinet 1 to be too large, thereby reducing the overall size of the laundry treatment device 100.

[0263] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 38, the central axes of the first connection holes 8321 of the pair of two adapter members 83 are respectively the first central axis and the second central axis. The distance between the first central axis and the second central axis is the first distance L1.

[0264] The third parameter value < L1. The third parameter value can be 530 mm, 535 mm, or 540 mm. Setting the distance between the first central axis and the second central axis to be greater than the third parameter value can, thereby, expand the installation space of the shock absorber 82, ensure the stroke of the shock absorber 82 and the installation angle of the shock absorber 82, and prevent the stroke of the shock absorber 82 from being limited and affecting the shock absorption ability of the shock absorber 82.

[0265] L1 < the fourth parameter value. The fourth parameter value can be 550 mm, 555 mm, or 560 mm. Setting the distance between the first central axis and the second central axis to be less than the fourth parameter value can make the stroke of the shock absorber 82 within a preset range, increase the angle of the shock absorber 82, and prevent the stroke of the shock absorber 82 from being too large and affecting the strength of the shock absorber 82 and the shock absorption ability of the shock absorber 82.

[0266] It should be noted that by restricting the first diameter of the outer cylinder 2 to make the outer cylinder 2 a large-diameter outer cylinder, the demand for washing capacity of the user is satisfied. Setting the adapter member to connect the reinforcing member 81 and the shock absorber 82 can enhance the support strength at the bottom end of the shock absorber 82, meet the support strength of the large-diameter outer cylinder, and improve the stability at the bottom end of the shock absorber 82. Setting the distance L1 between the first central axis and the second central axis can increase the movement stroke of the shock absorber 82 and limit the installation angle of the shock absorber 82 to meet the shock absorption requirements of the laundry treatment device 100.

[0267] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 39 to 41, the adapter member 83 may include a first adapter plate 831 (adapter bottom plate).

The two second adapter plates 832 may be provided with a first connection hole 8321. The first connection hole 8321 may penetrate the second adapter plate 832 in the thickness direction of the second adapter plate 832. The bottom end of the shock absorber 82 may be located between the two second adapter plates 832.

[0270] The arrangement of the first adapter plate 831 and the second adapter plate 832 facilitates the arrangement of the first connection hole 8321 , thereby facilitating the connection between the shock absorber 82 and the adapter 83 .

[0271] In some embodiments, the second adapter plate 832 can be arranged along the width direction of the box body 1. In the width direction of the box body 1, the first connection hole 8321 can be arranged in the middle of the second adapter plate 832 on a side away from the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3 to facilitate extending the installation length of the shock absorber 82.

[0272] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 39 to FIG. 41 , the reinforcement member 81 may be snap-fitted to the adapter member 83 to facilitate connection between the adapter member 83 and the reinforcement member 81 .

[0278] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 39 to 41 , the first adapter plate 831 may be provided with a first connection portion 8311 (a first connection structure) configured to connect to the reinforcement member 81. This prevents the vibration of the outer drum 2 from being transmitted to the adapter 83 via the shock absorber 82 when the entire laundry processing apparatus 100 vibrates at high speed, thereby reducing the occurrence of abnormal noise caused by the gap between the adapter 83 and the reinforcement member 81.

[0279] In the front-to-back direction of the box body 1 , the first connecting portion 8311 may be located between the two second adapter plates 832 .

[0287] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 39 to 41 , the first adapter plate 831 may be provided with a second connection portion 8312 (second connection structure) configured to connect to the reinforcement member. The second connection portion 8312 can further prevent the vibration of the outer cylinder 2 from being transmitted to the adapter 83 through the shock absorber 82, thereby reducing noise generated in the gap between the adapter 83 and the reinforcement member 81.

[0288] In the width direction of the housing 1 , the second connection portion 8312 may be provided on a side of the first connection portion 8311 away from the rotation axis of the inner cylinder 3 .

[0290] In some embodiments, the connection holes may be arranged in a vertical direction.

[0293] In some embodiments, the number of the fourth connection holes 813 is equal to the number of the second connecting portions 8312.

[0294] In some embodiments, the fourth connection holes 813 are arranged in the vertical direction.

[0295] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 39 to 41, the second adapter plate 832 may include a first sub-adapter plate and a second sub-adapter plate. The second sub-adapter plate may be provided at the rear side of the first sub-adapter plate.

[0296] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 39 to 41, there may be at least two connection holes. At least one connection hole extends into the first sub-adapter plate, and at least one connection hole extends into the first sub-adapter plate.

[0297] In some embodiments, a third connection plate 27 (the outer tub connection plate) may be provided on the outer wall of the outer tub 2. A fifth connection hole 271 (the outer tub connection hole) is provided on the third connection plate 27.

[0298] In some embodiments, a sixth connection hole 822 (the second connection hole of the shock absorber) is provided at the top end of the shock absorber 82.

[0299] The laundry treating apparatus 100 further includes a second fixing member 842. The second fixing member 842 is inserted into the fifth connection hole 271 and the sixth connection hole 822 to connect the third connection plate 27 and the shock absorber 82.

[0301] The fifth parameter value < L2. The fifth parameter value may be 185 mm or 170 mm or 155 mm. Thus, it is avoided that the stroke of the shock absorber 82 is too small to affect the shock absorption capacity of the shock absorber 82.

[0302] L2 < the sixth parameter value. The sixth parameter value may be 215 mm or 230 mm or 245 mm. Thus, it is avoided that the stroke of the shock absorber 82 is too large to affect the strength of the shock absorber 82.

[0303] The ninth parameter value < L3. The ninth parameter value can be 185 mm, 170 mm, or 155 mm. This is to prevent the stroke of the shock absorber 82 from being too small and affecting the shock absorption ability of the shock absorber 82.

[0304] L3 < the tenth parameter value. The tenth parameter value can be 215 mm, 230 mm, or 245 mm. This is to prevent the stroke of the shock absorber 82 from being too large and affecting the strength of the shock absorber 82.

[0305] L3 and L2 can be equal.

[0306] In some embodiments, the third connecting plate 27 can have at least two pairs. The number of the third connecting plates 27 can be equal to the number of the shock absorbers 82.

[0307] The top end of the shock absorber 82 can be located between a pair of the third connecting plates 27. The fifth connecting hole 271 can be arranged along the front - rear direction of the box body 1.

[0308] In some embodiments, the seventh parameter value < L1 / D1. The seventh parameter value can be 0.9, 0.85, or 0.8. In this way, restricting the minimum value of the distance between the first central axis and the second central axis can ensure the stroke and the angle of the shock absorber 82, and prevent the stroke of the shock absorber 82 from being too small and affecting the shock absorption ability of the shock absorber 82.

[0309] L1 / D1 < the eighth parameter value. The eighth parameter value can be 1, 1.05, or 1.1. In this way, restricting the maximum value of the distance between the first central axis and the second central axis can further limit the stroke and the angle of the shock absorber 82, and prevent the stroke of the shock absorber 82 from being too large or the angle from being too small, which may affect the strength and the shock absorption ability of the shock absorber 82.

[0310] Connecting the reinforcing member 81 and the shock absorber 82 through the adapter 83 can enhance the support strength at the bottom end of the shock absorber 82, meet the support strength for the large - diameter outer cylinder 2, and improve the stability of the shock absorber 82. Setting the distance L1 between the first central axis and the second central axis can increase the movement stroke and the installation angle of the shock absorber 82, and improve the shock absorption effect on the whole clothes - treating device 100.

[0311] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 841 can be snap - connected to the second adapter plate 832.

[0312] In some embodiments, the second fixing member 842 can be snap - connected to the third connecting plate 27.

[0313] During the drying process of the clothes - treating device 100, lint will continuously accumulate. The lint generally accumulates in the first channel 51 of the drying device 5, the blower 852, the air outlet 231, etc. If not processed in time, the lint will block the first channel 51 and affect the drying efficiency.

[0314] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a flushing member 63. The flushing member 63 can flush the air outlet 231 or the fan 852 in the first channel 51 and other components.

[0315] In some embodiments, the flushing member 63 includes a flushing portion 630. The flushing member 63 also includes a first extension portion 631 (side enclosure), which is disposed around the flushing portion 630. Thus, the flushing member 63 forms a cylindrical structure with one end open, and the first extension portion 631 is sealed to the outer peripheral wall of the outer tube 2.

[0316] In some embodiments, the flushing member 63 includes a third channel 6311 (air passage). The first end of the third channel 6311 can communicate with the second channel 261 through the air outlet 231 , and the second end of the third channel 6311 can communicate with the air inlet 512 of the first channel 51 .

[0317] In some embodiments, the flushing portion 630 , the first extension portion 631 and the outer peripheral wall of the outer tube 2 form a third channel 6311 , the air outlet 231 is located in the third channel 6311 , and the air coming out of the air outlet 231 first enters the third channel 6311 .

[0318] In some embodiments, a side of the flushing portion 630 that faces away from the outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 2 is sealedly connected to an end of the first channel 51 where the air inlet 512 is provided.

[0319] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a vent 635 disposed in the rinsing portion 630. The vent 635 corresponds to the air inlet 512 to connect the third passage 6311 with the first passage 51. After passing through the third passage 6311 and the vent 635, air is drawn into the first passage 51 by the fan 852.

[0320] It will be appreciated that providing the first extension 631 and sealing it against the outer wall of the outer tube 2 simplifies the sealing structure of the flushing member 63 and prevents air leakage. Furthermore, the first extension 631 contacts the outer tube 2, providing support to the first extension 631, thereby enhancing support and securing the first passage 51.

[0321] In some embodiments, the flushing member 63 further includes a fourth cavity 6312 (flushing cavity), which is disposed in the flushing portion 630 . The fourth cavity 6312 is connected to a water source and can be disposed around the ventilation hole 635 .

[0322] 4 , a flushing member 63 may be connected to the outer tub 2 , and the flushing member 63 may be located at the air outlet 231 . The housing 50 of the drying device 5 may be connected to the flushing member 63 .

[0323] 44 and 45 , the flushing member 63 may include at least one flushing port that is in communication with the fourth cavity 6312 .

[0324] 44 and 45 , the flushing member 63 may include a first flushing port 6321 . The first flushing port 6321 is provided in the flushing portion 630 , and the first flushing port 6321 may be in communication with the fourth cavity 6312 .

[0325] In some embodiments, the first flushing port 6321 may be opened toward the first channel 51. For example, the first flushing port 6321 is opened toward the air inlet 512.

[0326] In some embodiments, the first flushing port 6321 may be provided in the third channel 6311. The first flushing port 6321 may connect the fourth chamber 6312 with the third channel 6311. The water sprayed from the first flushing port 6321 may flush the fan 852.

[0327] At least part of the water in the fourth chamber 6312 is sprayed out from the first flushing port 6321. The water sprayed out from the first flushing port 6321 flushes the first channel 51, and can flush the first channel 51 and the fan 852, etc., thereby ensuring the drying effect of the clothing processing device 100.

[0328] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 may include a second valve (water inlet valve). The second valve is configured to control the inflow and stop of water into the fourth chamber 6312. When the second valve is opened, the first flushing port 6321 can spray water. When the second valve is closed, the first flushing port 6321 can stop spraying water.

[0329] The rotation of the fan 852 can suck the water sprayed from the first flushing port 6321 into the first channel 51 to flush the fan 852 and the first channel 51, and never flush or throw away the hair debris on the first channel 51 and the fan 852 and other components, thereby avoiding the accumulation of hair debris affecting the drying air volume and drying air temperature, and ensuring the drying effect.

[0330] 44 and 45 , the fan 852 may be disposed on a side of the flushing member 63 away from the outer cylinder 2 . The fan 852 may be disposed opposite the flushing member 63 . The first flushing port 6321 may face the fan 852 .

[0331] In some embodiments, the blower 852 may include a fan. The fan may be an impeller. The blower 852 may also include a second motor. The second motor is configured to drive the fan to rotate.

[0332] The clothes treating apparatus 100 has a flushing mode, in which the fan 852 is configured to rotate to suck water sprayed from the first flushing port 6321 into the first channel 51 to flush the interior of the first channel 51 .

[0333] It is understandable that the fan 852 can create a negative pressure in the first channel 51 by rotating, thereby sucking water into the first channel 51 to clean the inner wall of the first channel 51, the components in the first channel 51 and the fan 852.

[0334] It should be noted that the fan 852 can disperse the water, so that the water sprayed from the first flushing port 6321 can clean the interior of the first channel 51 in all directions.

[0335] In summary, by providing the fan 852 , the first flushing port 6321 and the second valve, the first channel 51 can be fully flushed.

[0336] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 46, the controller 300 is further configured to: if it is determined that the second signal is received, control the flushing mode to be turned on, control the fan 852 to rotate, and control the second valve to be opened and closed alternately, and the second valve is opened and closed alternately for at least two cycles. Within one cycle, the second valve is opened for a first preset time, and the second valve is closed for a second preset time.

[0337] It can be understood that after receiving the flushing signal of the first channel 51, the fan 852 is controlled to rotate continuously, and the second valve is controlled to open and close periodically, which can ensure the flushing time to achieve strong cleaning of hair debris, facilitate the flow of hair debris and save water resources.

[0338] In some embodiments, the first parameter value is less than or equal to the first preset time. The first parameter value may be 11 seconds, 10 seconds, or 9 seconds. In this way, the first preset time can be prevented from being too short to ensure a flushing effect.

[0339] The first preset time is less than or equal to the second parameter value. The second parameter value can be 13s, 14s, or 15s. In this way, it is avoided that the first preset time is too long, resulting in a long rinsing time and an overall long washing time.

[0340] The third parameter value is ≤ the second preset time. The third parameter value can be 2s, 1.5s, or 1s. This prevents the second preset time from being too short, resulting in a too short flushing interval, which would affect the flow of debris, prevent the flushing effect from being affected by the short flushing interval, and prevent continuous water inflow, thereby saving resources.

[0341] The second preset time is less than or equal to the fourth parameter value. The fourth parameter value can be 3.5s, 4s, or 4.5s. This prevents the second preset time from being too long, which in turn causes the flushing interval to be too long, and prevents the flushing interval from occupying too large a proportion of the cycle time, thereby preventing the flushing effect from being affected.

[0342] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 47, the controller 300 is further configured to: if it is determined that the second signal is received, control the flushing mode to be turned on, control the second valve to be turned on, and after the second valve is turned on for a third preset time, control the fan 852 to rotate, and after the fan 852 rotates for a fourth preset time, the second valve is closed, and the fan 852 rotates for a fifth preset time.

[0343] Thus, after receiving the flushing signal from the first channel 51, the second valve is controlled to operate independently for a third preset time, and then the fan 852 is turned on again, so that the water flow sprayed during the third preset time can soak the hair debris. The second valve and the fan 852 are set to operate simultaneously for a fourth preset time, so that the hair debris can be flushed and removed. The fan 852 is set to operate independently for a fifth preset time, so that the fan 852 can centrifugally eject some of the hair debris, further removing the hair debris.

[0344] In some embodiments, the fifth parameter value is less than or equal to the third preset time. The fifth parameter value may be 9 seconds, 8 seconds, or 7 seconds. This prevents the third preset time from being too short, which in turn causes the infiltration time to be too short and affects the infiltration effect.

[0345] The third preset time is less than or equal to the sixth parameter value. The sixth parameter value can be 11 seconds, 12 seconds, or 13 seconds. This prevents the third preset time from being too long, which would cause the immersion time to be too long and increase the overall flushing time, and also avoids wasting water.

[0346] In some embodiments, the seventh parameter value is less than or equal to the fourth preset time. The seventh parameter value can be 9 seconds, 8 seconds, or 7 seconds. This prevents the fourth preset time from being too short, resulting in a short flushing time that affects the flushing effect.

[0347] The fourth preset time is less than or equal to the eighth parameter value. The eighth parameter value may be 11 seconds, 12 seconds, or 13 seconds. This prevents the fourth preset time from being too long, which would cause the flushing time to be too long and increase the overall flushing time, and also avoids wasting water.

[0348] In some embodiments, the ninth parameter value is less than or equal to the fifth preset time. The ninth parameter value can be 9s, 8s, or 7s. This prevents the fifth preset time from being too short, which results in a short dander removal time and affects the dander removal effect.

[0349] The fifth preset time is less than or equal to the tenth parameter value. The tenth parameter value can be 11 seconds, 12 seconds, or 13 seconds. This prevents the fifth preset time from being too long, causing the hair removal time to be too long and increasing the overall flushing time.

[0350] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 47 , the controller 300 is further configured to: after the fan 852 rotates for a fifth preset time, the second valve is opened again, and the fan 852 rotates and the second valve is opened, and simultaneously runs for a sixth preset time.

[0351] The fan 852 and the second valve are arranged to work simultaneously again, so that the hair debris thrown out by the fan 852 can be washed away, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the hair debris.

[0352] In some embodiments, the eleventh parameter value is less than or equal to the sixth preset time. The eleventh parameter value can be 9s, 8s, or 7s. This prevents the sixth preset time from being too short, which results in a short lint flushing time and affects the lint flushing effect.

[0353] The sixth preset time is less than or equal to the twelfth parameter value. The twelfth parameter value can be 11 seconds, 12 seconds, or 13 seconds. In this way, the sixth preset time is prevented from being too long, which results in a long cleaning time for lint and increases the overall flushing time.

[0354] In some embodiments, when processing the lint in the first channel 51, the speed of the fan 852 is greater than or equal to a preset speed. This allows the fan 852 to draw the water sprayed from the first flushing port 6321 into the first channel 51, and to shake off the lint on the fan 852. It can also blow off the lint attached to the first channel 51, making it easier to clean the lint.

[0355] In some embodiments, the first channel 51 may be flushed after the washing phase of the laundry treating apparatus 100 ends and before the rinsing phase.

[0356] In some embodiments, the first channel 51 may be flushed after the rinsing stage of the laundry treating apparatus 100 and between the dehydration stages.

[0357] 48 to 55 , in some embodiments, the flushing member 63 may further include a second flushing port 6331 . The second flushing port 6331 is provided in the flushing portion 630 , and the second flushing port 6331 may be in communication with the fourth cavity 6312 .

[0358] The second flushing port 6331 can be opened toward the air outlet 231 or the return air port. If the second valve is opened, water enters the fourth chamber 6312 and flows out from the second flushing port 6331. If the second valve is closed, the second flushing port 6331 stops discharging water.

[0359] At least part of the water in the fourth chamber 6312 is sprayed out from the second flushing port 6331 , and the water sprayed out from the second flushing port 6331 flushes the air outlet 231 and the filter portion 5211 .

[0360] A flushing member 63 is provided, and a fourth cavity 6312 and a second flushing port 6331 are provided on the flushing member 63, which can flush the air outlet 231 and the filter part 5211 to prevent hair debris from blocking the filter part 5211, thereby ensuring the air outlet of the air outlet 231 and the filtering effect of the filter part 5211.

[0361] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a second groove 26 (a retaining groove) provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer tub 2 and recessed downward. The bottom of the first extension portion 631 is clamped in the second groove 26, thereby fixing the first extension portion 631 and the flushing member 63 to each other and sealing the third channel 6311.

[0362] In some embodiments, part of the first extension portion 631 may be fastened to the outer wall of the outer tube 2 by screws, thereby improving the firmness of the connection between the first extension portion 631 and the outer tube 2.

[0363] 48 to 55 , the flushing member 63 may further include a connecting member 632. The first extension portion 631 is connected to an edge of the connecting member 632. The connecting member 632 and the first extension portion 631 form a cylindrical structure with one end open.

[0364] The first extension portion 631 and the connecting member 632 can be integrally formed, which is convenient for installation. The first extension portion 631 and the connecting member 632 can also be a split structure, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement.

[0365] In some embodiments, the connector 632 may be connected to the outer cylinder 2 . The connector 632 may be connected to the first channel 51 .

[0366] In some embodiments, the flushing member 63 may include a flushing tray 633 . The flushing tray 633 is sealed in the first extension portion 631 and spaced apart from the connecting member 632 .

[0367] The space between the flushing tray 633 and the connecting member 632 defines a fourth chamber 6312 , such that the fourth chamber 6312 is a closed space capable of storing water.

[0368] It should be noted that the fourth cavity 6312 is formed by combining two components, which facilitates separate molding and subsequent assembly to form the fourth cavity 6312, making it easier to disassemble and repair. Of course, in some embodiments, the fourth cavity 6312 can be a cavity within the flushing portion 630 itself, with the connector 632 and flushing tray 633 integrally molded. This facilitates installation.

[0369] In some embodiments, the connector 63 may be mounted on the outside of the flushing tray 633. The connector 632 may be connected to the flushing tray to form a fourth cavity 6312 therebetween. The connector 63 may be connected to the flushing tray 633 to form a third channel 6311.

[0370] In some embodiments, the connecting member 632 may be sealedly connected to the first channel 51 .

[0371] For example, one end of the first channel 51 having the air inlet 512 is sealedly connected to the connector 632 , and the first channel 51 and the outer peripheral wall of the outer tube 2 are connected through the connector 632 , and the flushing disk 633 faces the outer peripheral wall of the outer tube 2 .

[0372] The fourth cavity 6312 can be connected end to end to form a closed structure. The fourth cavity 6312 can surround the outside of the third channel.

[0373] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 28 to 31 , the flushing member 63 further includes a second water inlet 345 (waterway inlet), which is disposed on the connecting member 632 and communicates with the fourth chamber 6312. The second water inlet 345 is connected to a second valve via a rubber tube, which controls the flow of water into the fourth chamber 6312.

[0374] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a ventilation hole 635 . The connection member 632 and the washing tray 633 penetrate at a position corresponding to the air inlet 512 to form the ventilation hole 635 .

[0375] For example, a first through hole 6322111 (first partition through hole) is formed through the connecting member 632 at the position corresponding to the air inlet 512, and a second through hole 633211 (second partition through hole) is formed through the flushing plate 633 at the position corresponding to the air inlet 512. The second through hole 633211 is sleeved outside the first through hole 6322111, and the aperture of the second through hole 633211 is larger than that of the first through hole 6322111, and the two are coaxially arranged.

[0376] The first flushing port 6321 can be formed on the wall of the ventilation hole 635 to flush toward the air inlet 512, while the second flushing port 6331 can be formed on the flushing plate 633 to flush the air outlet 231 from different angles. This increases the flushing range of the flushing member 63 and improves the flushing effect on hair debris.

[0377] 48 to 55 , the connector 632 may include a first connector plate 6322. The connector 632 may also include a second connector plate 6323 (connector enclosure plate).

[0378] One end of the second connecting plate 6323 away from the outer cylinder 2 can be connected to the first connecting plate 6322. The second connecting plates 6323 can be connected end to end to form a closed structure.

[0379] The second connecting plate 6323 and the first connecting plate 6322 may be arranged to form a seventh cavity 6324 (connector cavity) located on the side of the first connecting plate 6322 close to the outer cylinder 2 . The flushing tray 633 may be located in the seventh cavity 6324 .

[0380] The first flushing port 6321 may be located on the connecting member 632. The first flushing port 6321 may be located on the first connecting plate 6322.

[0381] 48 to 55 , the third channel 6311 may include a first sub-channel 63111 (a first airflow passage). The first sub-channel 63111 may be formed on the first connecting plate 6322. The first sub-channel 63111 may penetrate the first connecting plate 6322.

[0382] 48 to 55 , the first connection plate 6322 may include a partition body 63221. The partition body 63221 may include a first sub-plate 632211 (first partition plate).

[0383] For example, the first sub-plate 632211 may be provided with a first through hole 6322111. The first through hole 6322111 may correspond to the air outlet 231. The first through hole 6322111 is configured to prevent air from entering the first channel 51 from the air outlet 231.

[0384] The partition body 63221 may further include at least one second sub-plate 632212 (first convex plate). The second sub-plate 632212 may be connected to the first sub-plate 632211. The second sub-plate 632212 may be located in the first through hole 6322111.

[0385] The first flushing port 6321 can be provided on the second sub-plate 632212 , thereby ensuring that the first flushing port 6321 faces the first channel 51 . The first flushing port can penetrate the second sub-plate 632212 .

[0386] In some embodiments, the at least one second sub-plate 632212 may include a plurality of second sub-plates 632212. The plurality of second sub-plates 632212 may be spaced apart along the circumference of the first through hole 632211.

[0387] At least one first flushing port 6321 may be provided on any second sub-plate 632212 among the plurality of second sub-plates 632212 .

[0388] For example, a first flushing port 6321 may be provided on any of the second sub-plates 632212 .

[0389] In some embodiments, three second sub-boards 632212 may be provided.

[0390] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 48 to 55 , the flushing tray 633 may include a first flushing plate 6332 (a flushing tray partition). The fourth cavity 6312 is located between the first connecting plate 6322 and the first flushing plate 6332. The first connecting plate 6322 and the first flushing plate 6332 have a predetermined spacing to facilitate the formation of the fourth cavity 6312.

[0391] The second flushing port 6331 may be provided on the first flushing plate 6332. The second flushing port 6331 may penetrate the first flushing plate 6332.

[0392] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 48 to FIG. 55 , the first flushing plate 6332 may include a third sub-plate 63321 (second partition plate).

[0393] The third sub-plate 63321 may be provided with a second through hole 6332111 adapted to the first through hole 6322111. The second through hole 6332111 may correspond to the air outlet 231. The second through hole 6332111 may be configured to prevent air from entering the first channel 51 from the air outlet 231.

[0394] The first flushing plate 6332 may include a fourth sub-plate 63322 (second convex plate). The fourth sub-plate 63322 may be connected to the third sub-plate 63321. The fourth sub-plate 63322 may be located in the second through hole 6332111.

[0395] The second flushing port 6331 may be located on the third sub-plate 63321. The second flushing port 6331 may be located on a side of the second through hole 6332111 away from the first opening 21, ensuring that the second flushing port 6331 faces the air outlet 231.

[0396] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 48 to 55 , the first connecting plate 6322 can include a first rib 63222 (a first convex rib of the connector) disposed on the side of the partition body 63221 proximal to the outer tube 2. The first rib 63222 can be connected end to end, forming a closed structure. The first rib 63222 can be positioned over the third channel 6311. For example, the first rib 63222 can be disposed on the wall of the first through hole 6322111 and protrude toward the outer wall of the outer tube 2.

[0397] In some embodiments, the flushing tray 633 is inserted into a side of the first rib 63222 close to the second connecting plate 6323 .

[0398] For example, the flushing tray 633 may include a first insert plate 6333 (an inner insert plate for the flushing tray). The first insert plate 6333 is disposed on the wall of the second through hole 633211 and protrudes in a direction away from the outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 2. For example, the first insert plate 6333 may be connected to the side of the first flushing plate 6332 away from the outer cylinder 2. The first insert plates 6333 may be connected end to end to form a closed structure. The first insert plate 6333 may be inserted on the side of the first rib 63222 near the second connecting plate 6323.

[0399] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 45 to 55 , the first connecting plate 6322 may include a second rib 63223 (connector second rib) disposed on the side of the partition body 63221 proximal to the outer tube 2. The second rib 63223 may be connected end to end to form a closed structure. For example, the second rib 63223 may be disposed on the connecting member 632 and protrude toward the outer circumferential wall of the outer tube 2.

[0400] The inner diameter of the first rib 63222 is smaller than that of the second rib 63223. The second rib 63223 is positioned outside the first rib 63222, that is, it can be positioned on the side of the first rib 63222 near the second connecting plate 6323. The second rib 63223, the first rib 63222, and the partition body 63221 form a fourth slot 63224 (the second slot of the connector). The first insert plate 6333 can be inserted into the fourth slot 63224. This creates a pressing contact between the first insert plate 6333 and the fourth slot 63224, abutting against each other. This not only secures the first insert plate 6333 but also seals the fourth slot 63224, preventing air leakage therefrom.

[0401] In some embodiments, the first flushing port 6321 may be provided on a side of the second rib 63223 close to the second connecting plate 6323 .

[0402] 48 to 55 , the first connecting plate 6322 may include a third rib 63225 (connector third rib) provided on the side of the partition body close to the outer cylinder 2. The third rib 63225 may be connected end to end to form a closed structure.

[0403] The third rib 63225 is provided on the connecting member 632 and protrudes toward the outer wall of the outer tube 2. The inner diameter of the third rib 63225 is larger than that of the second rib 63223. The third rib 63225 is sleeved outside the second rib 63223 and spaced apart from the first extension portion 631.

[0404] For example, the third rib 63225 can be provided on the inner side of the second connecting plate 6323. The third rib 63225 can be sleeved on the third channel 6311.

[0405] In some embodiments, the third rib 63225 may be located between the second connecting plate 6323 and the second rib 63223 .

[0406] In some embodiments, the third rib 63225 can form a fifth slot 63226 (connector second slot) with the second connecting plate 6323 and the partition body 63221.

[0407] In some embodiments, the flushing tray 633 may include a second insert plate 6334 (an outer flushing tray insert plate). The second insert plate 6334 may be connected to the outer edge of the first flushing plate 6332. The second insert plate 6334 is disposed on the flushing tray 6333 and protrudes away from the outer peripheral wall of the outer tube 2. For example, the second insert plate 6334 may be located on a side of the first flushing plate 6332 away from the outer tube 2. The second insert plate 6334 may be inserted into the fifth slot 63226.

[0408] The second insert plate 6334 can be inserted into the fifth slot 63226, and the first insert plate 6333 can be inserted into the fourth slot 63224, so that the connector 632 and the flushing tray 633 form a fourth cavity 6312 therebetween. The first flushing port 6321 can communicate with the fourth cavity 6312. The second flushing port 6331 can communicate with the fourth cavity 6312.

[0409] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the second insert plate 6334 is larger than the inner diameter of the first insert plate 6333. The first insert plate 6333 is sleeved outside the first insert plate 6333, and both are in close contact with the connector 632, so that the flushing tray 633 and the connector 632 are spaced apart to form the fourth cavity 6312. In this case, the first insert plate 6333, the second insert plate 6334, the connector 632, and the flushing tray 633 enclose the fourth cavity 6312.

[0410] It is understood that after the second through hole 633211 is sleeved outside the first through hole 6322111, the first through hole 6322111 forms the ventilation hole 635, and air flows from the third channel 6311 through the first through hole 6322111 to the air inlet 512. When the connector 632 is connected to the first channel 51, the end of the first channel 51 provided with the air inlet 512 is supported on the connector 632. The inner wall of the air inlet 512 protrudes toward the outer circumferential wall of the outer cylinder 2 to form a convex edge, which is snapped into the first through hole 6322111, thereby achieving docking between the air inlet 512 and the ventilation hole 635. A sealing ring can also be provided between the two to improve sealing and prevent air leakage.

[0411] In some embodiments, the fifth groove 63226 is disposed between the third rib 63225 and the second rib 63223, and the orientation of the fifth groove 63226 corresponds to the orientation of the second insert plate 6334. The second insert plate 6334 fits tightly into the fifth groove 63226, thereby causing the second insert plate 6334 to press into contact with the fifth groove 63226, abutting against each other. This not only tightens the second insert plate 6334, but also seals the fifth groove 63226, preventing air leakage from the fifth groove 63226.

[0412] It can be understood that by forming the fourth groove 63224 and the fifth groove 63226 in the form of the protruding first rib 63222, the second rib 63223 and the third rib 63225, the distance between the connecting piece 632 and the flushing plate 633 can be increased, the volume of the fourth cavity 6312 can be increased, and the flow rate of the water source introduced can be increased, thereby improving the flushing effect.

[0413] In some embodiments, the fourth groove 63224 and the fifth groove 63226 can also be formed by partially recessing the connecting member 632 itself.

[0414] In some embodiments, the second insert plate 6334 extends along the outer edge of the flushing tray 633, thereby increasing the coverage of the fourth cavity 6312 and expanding the number of locations accessible by the flushing port. Furthermore, forming a fifth groove 63226 between the first extension 631 and the third rib 63225 also increases the coverage of the fourth cavity 6312 and allows the flushing tray 633 to be securely fastened to the first extension 631, facilitating installation of the flushing tray 633.

[0415] In some embodiments, screw posts are provided at corresponding positions on the flushing tray 633 and the connecting member 632. The two screw posts face each other and are screwed together to form a screw assembly. Multiple screw assemblies can be provided between the flushing tray 633 and the connecting member 632 to securely connect the two and facilitate installation and removal.

[0416] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a second extension portion 6327 (boss), which is disposed on the first rib 63222 and protrudes toward the center of the first through hole 6322111 .

[0417] In some embodiments, the first flushing port 6321 is arranged on the side of the second extension portion 6327 facing the air inlet 512, so that the first flushing port 6321 can spray flushing directly toward the air inlet 512 from the first through hole 6322111, thereby optimizing the flushing position, increasing the flushing water source that can reach the air inlet 512 and the impeller of the fan 852, and improving the flushing effect of the impeller and the hair debris in the first channel 51.

[0418] The second rib 63223 and the first rib 63222 have corresponding orientations. Thus, the second rib 63223 also projects toward the center of the first through-hole 6322111 at the location where the first rib 63222 protrudes to form the second extension 6327. This ensures that all locations in the fourth slot 63224 have the same width, facilitating a close fit of the first insert plate 6333 within the fourth slot 63224. The first flush port 6321 is located outside the second rib 63223, thereby connecting the first flush port 6321 to the fourth cavity 6312. It should be noted that the inner side of the second rib 63223 refers to the side facing the center of the first through-hole 6322111, while the outer side refers to the side facing the first extension 631.

[0419] 32 and 33 , the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a sixth sealing portion 6338 (sealing portion), which is disposed on the first inserting plate 6333 and protrudes toward the center of the second through hole 633211. The sixth sealing portion 6338 covers the second extension portion 6327 and is disposed correspondingly to the second extension portion 6327. Thus, after the first inserting plate 6333 is inserted into the fourth groove 63224 at the corresponding position of the second extension portion 6327, the sixth sealing portion 6338 can seal the corresponding second extension portion 6327, thereby sealing the second extension portion 6327.

[0420] In some embodiments, multiple second extensions 6327 are provided circumferentially spaced apart along the first through hole 6322111. Each of the multiple second extensions 6327 has a first flushing port 6321 defined on a surface facing the air inlet 512. This allows for comprehensive flushing of the air inlet 512 and the impeller of the fan 852, improving flushing efficiency and quality. It should be noted that the number of second extensions 6327 provided depends on actual circumstances.

[0421] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, three second extension portions 6327 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first through hole 6322111. Of course, there may also be two, four, etc. second extension portions.

[0422] It can be understood that the number and position of the sixth sealing portions 6338 correspond to the second extending portion 6327 . In some embodiments of the present disclosure, three sixth sealing portions 6338 are provided along the circumference of the second through hole 633211 .

[0423] In some embodiments, in order to expand the flushing range of the first extension portion 631 and the flushing plate 633, third flushing ports 6336 are opened on both opposite sides of the sixth sealing portion 6338, and multiple sixth sealing portions 6338 are opened with multiple third flushing ports 6336, so as to flush the first extension portion 631 and the flushing plate 633 in all directions, thereby preventing hair debris from accumulating on the first extension portion 631 and the flushing plate 633.

[0424] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 48 to FIG. 55 , the partition body 63221 may form the first sub-channel 63111 , or the partition body 63221 and the first rib 63222 may form the first sub-channel 63111 .

[0425] The fourth cavity 6312 can be connected end to end to form a closed structure. The fourth cavity 6312 can surround the outside of the first sub-channel 63111.

[0426] In some embodiments, the connector 632 and the flushing tray 633 can be sealed. A seal can be provided in the fourth groove 63224 to abut the first insert plate against the seal. A seal can be provided in the fifth groove 63226 to abut the second insert plate 6334 against the seal, preventing water in the fourth chamber 6312 from leaking out at the connection between the connector 632 and the flushing tray 633.

[0427] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 48 to 55 , the first sub-channel 63111 can include a fourth wall 631111 (first flow passage wall). The fourth wall 631111 can be provided with a third clamping portion 631112 (first clamping portion of the connector). The third clamping portion 631112 can be provided at one end of the second extension 6327 near the center of the first through hole 6322111. The third clamping portion 631112 is configured to connect the flushing tray 633 and the connector 632.

[0428] In some embodiments, a fourth clamping portion 633221 (second clamping portion) may be provided on the fourth sub-board 63322 , and the third clamping portion 631112 and the fourth clamping portion 633221 are clamped together so that the third clamping portion 631112 is buckled into the fourth clamping portion 633221 .

[0429] The fourth clamping portion 633221 can be located on one side of the flushing tray 633 close to the center of the second through hole 633211. For example, the fourth clamping portion 633221 is provided at one end of the sixth sealing portion 6338 close to the center of the second through hole 633211.

[0430] In this way, during assembly, after the flushing plate 633 is aligned with the connecting piece 632, they are first connected through the third clamping part 631112 and finally fixed through the screw column, thereby improving the connection reliability. The connection of the third clamping part 631112 can improve the compactness of the connection between the sixth sealing part 6338 and the second extension part 6327, and can strengthen the sealing of the connection between the sixth sealing part 6338 and the second extension part 6327.

[0431] In some embodiments, one end of the sixth sealing portion 6338, which is near the center of the second through hole 633211, extends toward the center of the second through hole 633211 and then toward the air inlet 512, forming an L-shaped elastic arm. The L-shaped elastic arm has an opening formed therein, which constitutes the fourth engaging portion 633221. When the flushing tray 633 is installed, after the flushing tray 633 abuts the connector 632, the third engaging portion 631112 engages with the fourth engaging portion 633221, thereby engaging the two together.

[0448] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 48 to FIG. 55 , the flushing member 63 may further include a third flushing port 6336 .

[0449] The flushing member 63 may further include a fifth wall 6313 (air flow passage wall) that encloses the third channel 6311. A third flushing port 6336 may be provided on the flushing tray 633. The third flushing port 6336 may be provided on the third sub-plate 63321. The third flushing port 6336 may face the fifth wall 6313. The third flushing port 6336 may be configured to flush the fifth wall 6313 of the flushing member 63, thereby cleaning the accumulated hair debris on the fifth wall 6313.

[0450] The third flushing port 6336 is disposed on the side of the sixth sealing portion 6338 and communicates with the fourth cavity 6312. The third flushing port 6336 is opened toward the first extension portion 631 to flush the first extension portion 631 and the flushing plate 633, thereby cleaning the accumulated hair debris therein.

[0451] In some embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a mating portion 633213 (sunken platform), which is disposed on the sixth sealing portion 6338 and is recessed toward the outer circumferential wall of the outer drum 2. The edge of the mating portion 633213 is connected to the first inserting plate 6333, and the mating portion 633213 corresponds to the second extending portion 6327 to cover the second extending portion 6327.

[0452] In some embodiments, the matching portion 633213 is disposed on the third sub-plate 63321. The third flushing port 6336 can be disposed on the sixth wall 6332131 (the side wall of the sink) to spray flushing toward the first extension 631 and the flushing tray 633. The third flushing port 6336 can penetrate the third sub-plate 63321.

[0453] Two third flushing ports 6336 may be provided at the location of one mating portion 633213. The two third flushing ports 6336 may be disposed opposite each other. The two third flushing ports 6336 may be disposed on two opposing side walls of the mating portion 633213. The mating portion 633213 may be disposed on a side of the fourth sub-plate 63322 away from the third channel 6311.

[0454] 48 to 55 , a detection component may be connected to the second connecting plate 6323. The detection component may be inserted into the third channel 6311. The flushing tray 633 may be provided with a fourth flushing port 6337 communicating with the fourth cavity 6312.

The detection component may include a sensor. The sensor may be mounted in the fourth through hole 63231. The sensor's detection end extends into the third channel 6311, thereby being configured to detect the temperature of air flowing through the third channel 6311. When the temperature reaches a threshold, it indicates that the air exiting the outer drum 2 has become hot air, and drying is complete, thereby ending the drying process.

[0457] The fourth flushing port 6337 can be set towards the sensor, so as to flush the sensor after long-term use to prevent hair debris from accumulating thereon and affecting its detection accuracy.

[0458] For example, the detection component includes a fourth sensor 4, which is disposed in the fourth through hole 63231. The detection end of the fourth sensor 4 extends into the first extension portion 631, thereby being configured to detect the temperature at the air inlet 512. If the temperature detected by the fourth sensor 4 is greater than a preset temperature value, it indicates that the air exiting the outer drum 2 has become hot air, and drying is complete, thereby terminating the dryer operation.

[0459] A fourth flushing port 6337 is provided on the flushing tray 633 and communicates with the fourth cavity 6312. The fourth flushing port 6337 is located adjacent to and toward the fourth sensor 4. This allows the fourth flushing port 6337 to flush the fourth sensor 4 after extended use, preventing debris from accumulating on the fourth sensor 4 and affecting its accuracy.

[0460] In some embodiments, the flushing pan 633 is at least partially aligned with the air outlet 231. Multiple second flushing ports 6331 are provided and spaced apart in the portion of the flushing pan 633 that faces the air outlet 231, thereby enhancing the flushing effect on the air outlet 231, the first tank 230, and the filter 5211. The multiple second flushing ports 6331 may have different emission angles, and the spacing between the second flushing ports 6331 at different locations may be greater than a predetermined spacing. This allows flushing of the first tank 230 at different locations.

[0461] It is understood that after water enters the fourth chamber 6312, the water flow can flush the impeller of the fan 852 and the first slot 230, thereby flushing the accumulated hair debris in the air inlet 512, the fan 852, the air outlet 231, and the first slot 230. The provision of the fourth chamber 6312 expands the flushing range and can direct the water flow out of the flushing port in various directions.

[0462] In summary, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting a fourth cavity 6312 and utilizing the fourth cavity 6312 to expand the setting area of ​​the flushing port, flushing ports facing different objects can be set as needed, such as a first flushing port 6321, a second flushing port 6331, a third flushing port 6336 and a fourth flushing port 6337, etc., so that different positions and different objects inside the clothing processing device 100 can be flushed, thereby solving the problem of a single flushing position of the traditional clothing processing device 100, and improving the ability to clean dander at various positions, thereby avoiding the accumulation of dander and improving the drying efficiency.

[0463] In some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus 100 may include a detection device 862 .

[0464] The detection device 862 may be provided on the outer cylinder 2. The detection device may be provided on the top of the outer cylinder 2. The detection device may be located on the front side of the outer cylinder 2. The detection device 862 may be configured to detect the vibration displacement and vibration acceleration of the outer cylinder 2.

[0465] The detection device 862 can transmit the vibration displacement and vibration acceleration to the controller 300 through serial communication.

[0466] The detection device 862 may be a three-dimensional (3D) vibration displacement sensor.

[0467] In some embodiments, the controller 300 may have an eccentric mass M built into it. i The corresponding first vibration displacement A i , i≥1, and i is a positive integer.

[0468] The mass of the eccentric block in the inner cylinder 3 is M i , and the vibration displacement detected during the process of the inner drum 3 accelerating to the first speed is the first vibration displacement A i For example, the first rotation speed may be 400 rpm.

[0469] The controller 300 may have an eccentric mass M built into it. i The corresponding second vibration displacement B i The mass of the load cloth in the inner tube 3 is M i The vibration displacement detected during the process of the inner drum 3 accelerating to the first speed is the second vibration displacement B i .

[0470] The thirteenth parameter value is less than the first speed. The thirteenth parameter value can be 390 rpm, 380 rpm, or 370 rpm to avoid the difficulty in detecting the first vibration displacement and the second vibration displacement due to a too low speed.

[0471] The first speed is less than the fourteenth parameter value. The fourteenth parameter value can be 410 rpm, 420 rpm, or 430 rpm, to avoid excessive speed affecting the detection accuracy of vibration displacement in the low-speed transient stage, thereby making the correction of vibration displacement in the low-speed transient stage more accurate.

[0472] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 57 , the controller 300 is further configured to:

[0473] Upon receiving the dehydration signal, the controller 300 activates the first motor 861, which increases the speed of the inner drum 3 to a first speed at a first acceleration. While the first motor 861 increases the speed of the inner drum 3 to the first speed at the first acceleration, the detection device detects the vibration displacement of the outer drum 2 and records it as the detected vibration displacement E.

[0474] According to the detected vibration displacement E, the first vibration displacement A i and the second vibration displacement B i Get the corrected vibration displacement E'. If it is determined that E≤A1, then E'=E+(A1-B1). i <E≤A i+1 , then E'=E+(A i -B i ).

[0475] It is determined whether the corrected vibration displacement E' is greater than the maximum limit value of the vibration displacement. If it is determined that the corrected vibration displacement E' is less than or equal to the maximum limit value of the vibration displacement, the first motor 861 increases the speed of the inner drum 3 to a speed N. If it is determined that the corrected vibration displacement E' is greater than the maximum limit value of the vibration displacement, the first motor 861 decreases the speed to 0 and shakes the clothes in the inner drum 3.

[0476] It is understandable that the detected vibration displacement during the process of increasing the speed of the inner drum 3 to the first speed will fluctuate. Therefore, correcting the detected vibration displacement during the process of increasing the speed of the inner drum 3 to the first speed can improve the accuracy of the vibration displacement during low-speed transients, and can accurately determine whether the inner drum 3 continues to speed up for dehydration or is shaken again, thereby improving the success rate of dehydration completion and shortening the dehydration time.

[0477] In some embodiments, if it is determined that E ≤ A1, then E' = E + (A1 - B1). If it is determined that A1 < E ≤ A2, then E' = E + (A2 - B2); if it is determined that A2 < E ≤ A3, then E' = E + (A3 - B3); if it is determined that A3 < E ≤ A4, then E' = E + (A4 - B4); if it is determined that A4 < E ≤ A5, then E' = E + (A5 - B5); if it is determined that A5 < E ≤ A 6则 , E' = E + (A6 - B6);...; if it is determined that A i < E ≤ A i+1 , then E' = E + (A i -B i ).

[0478] The unit of the eccentric mass is g. M i can be any eccentric mass. For example, M1 = 100 g, M2 = 200 g, M3 = 300 g, M4 = 400 g,... M 10 = 1000 g.

[0479] In some embodiments, the eccentric mass can be divided into four categories, namely small load, medium load, large load, and extra-large load.[[ID=********]] [[ID=********]]

[0480] Small load can correspond to M1, M2, M3. Medium load can correspond to M4, M5, M6, M7, M8. Large load can correspond to M9, M 10 . Extra-large load can correspond to M 11 and above.

[0481] In some embodiments, the unit of the vibration displacement is mm.

[0482] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 56, the laundry treating apparatus 100 further includes an eccentric block 864, and the eccentric block 864 can be disposed in the inner tub 3. The load cloth can be disposed in the inner tub 3.

[0483] The laundry treating apparatus 100 further includes a suspension spring 863, and the top of the outer tub 2 can be suspended on the cabinet on by the suspension spring 863.

[0484] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 58, the controller 300 can internally store a vibration displacement limit value C<0000​​​​​​​​​​​​​​j+1 , then N=n j+1 The target speed N can be divided into different values. Different vibration displacements correspond to different target speeds. The larger the vibration displacement, the smaller the target speed N. This can reduce the vibration noise during dehydration and ensure the reliable operation of the dehydration function.

[0486] In some embodiments, A1-A i The vibration displacement of each segment can be divided into j consecutive segments. Each segment can have at least one first vibration displacement value. The maximum first vibration displacement value of each segment can be the vibration displacement limit value C of the segment. j j can be 3. Vibration displacement limit value C j It can be divided into three levels. C1 = max (A1 ~ A3), C2 = max (A4 ~ A8), C3 = max (A9 ~ A 10 ).

[0487] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 59 , the controller 300 is further configured to obtain the vibration acceleration of the inner drum 3 at the speed N after the first motor 861 increases the speed of the inner drum 3 to the speed N and record it as the detected vibration acceleration F.

[0488] If it is determined that the detected vibration acceleration F is less than or equal to the maximum limit value of the vibration acceleration, the first motor 861 drives the inner drum 3 to maintain the current speed for the first preset rotation time and then decelerate to 0, or the first motor 861 decelerates the inner drum 3 to within the preset speed range, and the first motor 861 drives the inner drum 3 to maintain the decelerated speed for the second preset rotation time and then decelerate to 0.

[0489] If the detected vibration acceleration F is determined to be greater than the maximum vibration acceleration limit, the first motor 861 is decelerated to 0 and the clothes in the inner drum 3 are shaken out. In this way, at high speeds, the vibration acceleration can be used to determine whether the inner drum 3 can complete the spin cycle at the current speed. If the vibration acceleration is too high, the speed can be reduced or the clothes can be shaken out again, ensuring continuous high-speed spin operation and reducing the vibration noise associated with high-speed spin operation.

[0490] In some embodiments, after the clothes in the inner drum 3 are shaken out, the controller 300 controls the first motor 861 to start again, and the first motor 861 increases the rotation speed of the inner drum 3 to the first rotation speed at the first acceleration.

[0491] In some embodiments, the controller 300 may have a built-in vibration acceleration limit value D k , k≥1, and k is a positive integer. The larger the k value, the greater the vibration acceleration limit value D k The larger the vibration acceleration limit value D k The largest value among them is the maximum limit value of vibration acceleration.

[0492] In some embodiments, the first motor 861 raises the rotational speed N of the inner tub 3 to n j . Under the condition that the detected vibration acceleration F is less than or equal to the maximum vibration acceleration limit value, if it is determined that F ≤ D k and K ≤ j, the first motor 861 drives the inner tub 3 to maintain the current rotational speed and runs for a first preset rotation time and then decelerates to 0. If it is determined that D k < F and j ≤ K, the first motor 861 decelerates the inner tub 3 to a preset speed, and the first motor 861 drives the inner tub 3 to maintain the decelerated rotational speed and runs for a second preset rotation time and then decelerates to 0. In this way, it can be ensured that at different rotational speeds N, the first motor 861 can be reasonably controlled to adjust the speed according to the vibration acceleration, so as to increase the rotational speed of the inner tub 3 while reducing noise, thereby improving the dehydration efficiency.

[0493] In some embodiments, the first motor 861 raises the rotational speed N of the inner tub 3 to n j , when the detected vibration acceleration F is less than or equal to the maximum vibration acceleration limit value and satisfies D k < F and j ≤ K, if it is determined that D k+o < F ≤ D k+ o + 1, the first motor 861 decelerates the inner tub 3 to a preset speed N' = n k+o+1 , k ≥ 1 and k is a positive integer, and o is a natural number. In this way, it can be determined which rotational speed is appropriate for the inner tub 3 to decelerate to, avoiding excessive deceleration and reducing the dehydration effect, and avoiding too low deceleration and generating noise.

[0494] In some embodiments, the controller 300 may be internally provided with an eccentric mass M i corresponding first vibration acceleration G i , i ≥ 1 and i is a positive integer. The vibration acceleration detected when the rotational speed of the inner tub 3 is the second rotational speed is the first vibration acceleration G i , and the second rotational speed is greater than the first rotational speed.

[0495] M1 - M 10 corresponding first vibration acceleration is G1 - G 10 . M i corresponding first vibration acceleration is G i .

[0496] In some embodiments, G1 - G i can be divided into k continuous segments. Each segment may have at least one first vibration acceleration value. The maximum first vibration acceleration value of each segment is the vibration displacement limit value D k . k can be 3. The vibration displacement limit value D k can be divided into three gears. D1 = max(G1~G3), D2 = max(G4~G8), D3 = max(G9~G10 )

[0497] The rotational speed N of the inner cylinder 3 can be in 3 gears. For example, N can be n1, n2, or n3. n1, n2, and n3 decrease in sequence.

[0498] In some embodiments, A1 - A i The number of segments divided can be the same as that of G1 - G i The number of segments divided. For the same eccentric mass M i The segments where the corresponding first vibration displacement and first vibration acceleration are located can be the same. This makes the vibration displacement limit value and the vibration acceleration limit value match each other, ensuring that the judgment of vibration displacement and vibration acceleration is under the same standard.

[0499] In some embodiments, after obtaining the corrected vibration displacement E', if it is determined that E' ≤ C1, then the first motor 861 raises the rotational speed of the inner cylinder 3 to n1. If it is determined that C1 < E' ≤ C2, then the first motor 861 raises the rotational speed of the inner cylinder 3 to n2. If it is determined that C2 < E' ≤ C3, then the first motor 861 raises the rotational speed of the inner cylinder 3 to n3. If it is determined that C3 < E', then the first motor 861 reduces the speed to 0 and shakes the clothes inside the inner cylinder 3.

[0500] After the first motor 861 raises the rotational speed of the inner cylinder 3 to n1, if it is determined that F ≤ D1, then the first motor 861 drives the inner cylinder 3 to maintain the rotational speed of n1 for the first holding time and then reduces the speed to 0. If it is determined that D1 < F ≤ D2, then the first motor 861 drives the inner cylinder to reduce to the rotational speed of n2 and runs for the first holding time and then reduces the speed to 0. If it is determined that D2 < F ≤ D3, then the first motor 861 drives the inner cylinder 3 to reduce to the rotational speed of n3 and runs for the first holding time and then reduces the speed to 0. If it is determined that D3 < F, then the first motor 861 reduces the speed to 0 and shakes the clothes inside the inner cylinder 3.

[0501] After the first motor 861 raises the rotational speed of the inner cylinder 3 to n2, if it is determined that F ≤ D2, then the first motor 861 drives the inner cylinder 3 to maintain the rotational speed of n2 for the first holding time and then reduces the speed to 0. If it is determined that D2 < F ≤ D3, then the first motor 861 drives the inner cylinder 3 to reduce to the rotational speed of n3 and runs for the first holding time and then reduces the speed to 0. If it is determined that D3 < F, then the first motor 861 reduces the speed to 0 and shakes the clothes inside the inner cylinder 3.

[0502] After the first motor 861 raises the rotational speed of the inner cylinder 3 to n3, if it is determined that F ≤ D3, then the first motor 861 drives the inner cylinder to maintain the rotational speed of n3 for the first holding time and then reduces the speed to, 0. If it is determined that D3 < F, then the first motor 861 reduces the speed to 0 and shakes the clothes inside the inner cylinder 3.

[0503] For example, the first holding time can be 60s.

[0504] The fifteenth parameter < the first holding time. The fifteenth parameter can be 55s, 50s, or 45s. In this way, the dehydration time can be guaranteed and the dehydration effect can be improved.

[0505] The first holding time is less than the sixteenth parameter. The fifteenth parameter can be 65s, 70s, or 75s. In this way, it is possible to avoid the dehydration time being too long and reducing the drying efficiency.

[0506] In some embodiments, the first motor 861 drives the inner drum 3 to run for a first holding time and then reduces the speed to 0, and then the dehydration ends.

[0507] In some embodiments, the level of the load in the inner cylinder 3 is determined according to the detected vibration displacement E before obtaining the corrected vibration displacement E'.

[0508] Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a method for controlling a laundry processing apparatus 100 . Referring to FIG. 57 , the method includes S101 to S106 .

[0509] S101, after receiving the dehydration signal, the controller 300 controls the first motor 861 to start.

[0510] In step S102, the first motor 861 increases the speed of the inner drum 3 to a first speed at a first acceleration. While the first motor 861 increases the speed of the inner drum 3 to the first speed at the first acceleration, the detection device detects the vibration displacement of the outer drum 2 and records it as the detected vibration displacement E.
