[0046] In the related art, dry cleaning equipment is suitable for washing fabrics using dry cleaning solvents. Dry cleaning equipment removes stains on fabrics through the chemical force of the solvent and the mechanical force of the equipment. However, the existing dry cleaning equipment has a complex structural design, and the solvent processing components are exposed to the outside, which affects the appearance of the dry cleaning equipment and there is a risk of solvent leakage.
[0047] The following describes a laundry treatment device 1 according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 13 .
[0048] As shown in Figures 1-5, the laundry treatment device 1 according to the present application includes: a washing module 10, a solvent storage module 20, and a closed housing 30. The washing module 10 is provided with a washing chamber 10a; the solvent storage module 20 has a storage chamber 20a formed therein for storing washing solvent, which is in communication with the washing chamber 10a; and the closed housing 30 has a closed cavity 30a formed therein for accommodating the solvent storage module 20 and / or the washing module 10. Specifically, the washing module 10 is suitable for washing fabrics. Fabrics can be placed in the washing chamber 10a of the washing module 10, and then the washing solvent in the solvent storage module 20 is allowed to flow into the washing chamber 10a. The chemical force of the washing solvent and the mechanical force of the washing module 10 remove stains from the fabrics, thereby completing the cleaning of the fabrics. The washing solvent circulates in the washing module 10 and the solvent storage module 20. Since the washing solvent may be harmful to the environment or the human body, in order to avoid leakage of the washing solvent due to a failure of the washing module 10 or leakage of the washing solvent due to a failure of the solvent storage module 20, a closed shell 30 is provided to accommodate the solvent storage module 20 and / or the washing module 10, to ensure that the washing solvent does not leak to the outside of the clothing processing device 1, thereby ensuring the safety of the environment and the human body.
[0049] According to the clothing treatment device 1 of the present application, a closed shell 30 is provided to accommodate the solvent storage module 20 and / or the washing module 10, thereby preventing the washing solvent from leaking to the outside of the clothing treatment device 1 and ensuring the safety of the environment and human body. In addition, the closed shell 30 can serve as an appearance component of the clothing treatment device 1, which can make the clothing treatment device 1 as a whole more regular and beautiful.
[0050] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG6 , the laundry treatment device 1 further includes a collection module 40 , which is disposed within the enclosed housing 30 and has a first outlet 40 a and a first inlet 40 b communicating with the washing chamber 10 a, and / or a second inlet 40 d and a second outlet 40 c communicating with the storage chamber 20 a. The collection module 40 is adapted to control the connection or closure between the first outlet 40 a and the second inlet 40 d to facilitate delivery of washing solvent into the washing chamber 10 a, and / or the collection module 40 is adapted to control the connection or closure between the first inlet 40 b and the second outlet 40 c to recover washing solvent that has passed through the washing chamber 10 a. Since washing solvent may be harmful to the environment or human body, the washing solvent in the washing chamber 10 a needs to be recovered after the fabric is cleaned. The recovered washing solvent can also be stored in the solvent storage module 20 . When the washing module 10 is required to clean the fabric, the recovered washing solvent can be reused, thereby achieving a recycling of the washing solvent.
[0051] Specifically, as shown in FIG6 , the collection module 40 is connected to the washing chamber 10a and the storage chamber 20a, respectively. The collection module 40 can control a first outlet 40a connected to the washing chamber 10a to communicate with a second inlet 40d connected to the storage chamber 20a, so that the washing solvent in the storage chamber 20a flows toward the washing chamber 10a, thereby dispensing the washing solvent. The collection module 40 can also control a first inlet 40b connected to the washing chamber 10a to communicate with a second outlet 40c connected to the storage chamber 20a, so that the washing solvent in the washing chamber 10a flows toward the storage chamber 20a, thereby recovering the washing solvent. The washing solvent that enters the storage chamber 20a can be re-dispensed into the washing chamber 10a, thereby recycling the washing solvent. The provision of the collection module 40 enables the laundry processing device 1 to recover and recycle the washing solvent, ensuring environmental and human safety. Furthermore, the laundry processing device 1 does not need to be replenished with new washing solvent, thereby reducing the cost of using the laundry processing device 1.
[0052] In some embodiments, the washing solvent may be a surfactant, bleach, stabilizer or other solvent for washing clothes. One or more of the above washing solvents may be added according to conditions such as temperature and clothing texture, and are not limited here.
[0053] According to some embodiments of the present application, the collection module 40 is provided with a heating device and / or a cooling device. The heating device is suitable for heating the washing solvent passing through the collection module 40, and the cooling device is suitable for cooling the washing solvent passing through the collection module, so that the collection module 40 can change the state of the washing solvent. In some embodiments, the washing solvent is in liquid state in the storage chamber 20a, and the collection module 40 heats the washing solvent in the storage chamber 20a before adding the liquid washing solvent to the washing chamber 10a, so that the washing solvent changes from liquid to gas, so that the washing solvent can fully contact the fabric and improve the cleaning effect of the washing solvent on the fabric; the washing solvent is in gaseous state in the washing chamber 10a, and the collection module 40 cools the washing solvent in the washing chamber 10a before recovering the gaseous washing solvent to the storage chamber 20a, so that the washing solvent changes from gas to liquid.
[0054] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 7-8, the clothing processing device 1 also includes a filter module 50, which is arranged in the closed cavity 30a, and the filter module 50 is respectively connected to the first outlet 40a and the washing cavity 10a to be suitable for filtering the washing solvent entering the washing cavity 10a; or the filter module 50 is respectively connected to the second outlet 40c and the storage cavity 20a to be suitable for filtering the washing solvent entering the storage cavity 20a.
[0055] In some embodiments, the filter module 50 can be used to filter washing solvents in different states. For example, the washing solvent in the storage chamber 20a is in a gaseous state, and the washing solvent in the washing chamber 10a is in a liquid state. As shown in Figure 7, the filter module 50 is arranged between the first outlet 40a and the washing chamber 10a to filter the liquid washing solvent so that the washing solvent entering the washing chamber 10a is all in a gaseous state, avoiding direct contact between the liquid washing solvent and the fabric, causing contamination of the fabric, and ensuring the fabric cleaning effect; as shown in Figure 8, the filter module 50 can also be arranged between the second outlet 40c and the storage chamber 20a to filter the gaseous washing solvent so that the washing solvent flowing back into the storage chamber 20a is all in a liquid state, so as to facilitate the storage of the washing solvent.
[0056] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 10-13, the filter module 50 includes a filter housing 51 and a filter element. The filter housing 51 is formed with multiple filter cavities, which are connected in sequence. The filter housing 51 is formed with an inlet 51a and an outlet 51b. The inlet 51a is connected to one of the multiple filter cavities, and the outlet 51b is connected to another of the multiple filter cavities. The filter element is constructed to correspond one to one with the multiple filter cavities, and each filter element is accommodated in a corresponding filter cavity. The multiple filter elements sequentially filter the washing solvent flowing from the inlet 51a to the outlet 51b. Specifically, the washing solvent entering the filter module 50 from the inlet 51a can flow sequentially in the multiple filter cavities. At this time, the washing solvent can be filtered sequentially by the multiple filter elements, so that the state of the washing solvent flowing out of the filter module 50 from the outlet 51b is more uniform.
[0057] In some embodiments, the inlet 51a of the filter module 50 is connected to the collection module 40, and the outlet 51b of the filter module 50 is connected to the washing chamber 10a or the storage chamber 20a, so that the state of the washing solvent entering the washing chamber 10a or the storage chamber 20a is more uniform.
[0058] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 10-13, a partition is formed within the filter housing 51 to separate two adjacent filter cavities; the partition is disposed around the filter housing 51 to define two radially isolated filter cavities; and / or the partition is orthogonal to the extension direction of the filter housing 51 to define two axially isolated filter cavities within the filter housing 51. Specifically, one or more partitions may be disposed within the filter housing 51 to separate the filter housing 51 into multiple filter cavities. When there is only one partition, two cavities can be separated inside the filter housing 51. Here, the partition can be an annular partition, the interior of the annular partition defines a cavity, the outside of the annular partition and the interior of the filter housing 51 define another cavity, and the two cavities are isolated from each other in the radial direction of the filter housing 51; the partition can also be a vertical partition, one side of the vertical partition and part of the inner surface of the filter housing 51 define a cavity, the other side of the vertical partition and another part of the inner surface of the filter housing 51 define another cavity, and the two cavities are isolated from each other in the axial direction of the filter housing 51.
[0059] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 10 to 13, the filter housing 51 includes an outer cylinder 511, an end cover 512, a first partition plate 513 and a second partition plate 514. The end cover 512 is constructed in two and is respectively arranged at both ends of the outer cylinder 511 to close the outer cylinder 511. The inlet 51a and the outlet 51b are arranged in one of the end covers 512 or are respectively arranged in the two end covers 512; the first partition plate 513 is arranged in the outer cylinder 511 and divides the interior of the outer cylinder 511 into a first chamber and a second chamber 511b isolated from each other in the axial direction; the second partition plate 514 is arranged in the first chamber, and the second partition plate 514 is arranged around to define an inner chamber 511c and an outer chamber 511d isolated from each other on the inner and outer sides of the second partition plate 514, respectively.
[0060] In some embodiments, an inlet 51a and an outlet 51b are respectively provided on the two end covers 512. The inlet 51a is connected to the first cavity, and the outlet 51b is connected to the second cavity 511b. The washing solvent enters the first cavity through the inlet 51a and is filtered in sequence by the filter elements at the inner cavity 511c and the outer cavity 511d, and then flows out of the second cavity 511b through the outlet 51b.
[0061] In other embodiments, an inlet 51a and an outlet 51b are spaced apart on one of the end covers 512, the inlet 51a is connected to the inner cavity 511c, and the outlet 51b is connected to the outer cavity 511d. The washing solvent enters the inner cavity 511c through the inlet 51a, is filtered in sequence by multiple filter elements, and then flows out of the outer cavity 511d through the outlet 51b.

In this way, the flow path of the washing solvent can be extended, the contact time between the filter element and the washing solvent can be increased, and the washing solvent can be fully filtered by the filter element, thereby improving the filtering effect of the washing solvent; it is also possible that the second partition plate 514 is provided in the first cavity A second through hole is provided inside to connect the inner cavity 511c and the outer cavity 511d, and the second cavity 511b is connected to the inner cavity 511c or the outer cavity 511d, that is, the second cavity 511b is connected to the outer cavity 511d through the inner cavity 511c, or the second cavity 511b is connected to the inner cavity 511c through the outer cavity 511d. For example, the washing solvent can flow from the inner cavity 511c to the outer cavity 511d, and then from the outer cavity 511d to the second cavity 511b, or the washing solvent can flow from the outer cavity 511d to the inner cavity 511c, and then from the inner cavity 511c to the second cavity 511b. In this way, the flow path of the washing solvent can be extended, the contact time between the filter element and the washing solvent can be increased, and the washing solvent can be fully filtered by the filter element, thereby improving the filtering effect of the washing solvent.

The laundry treatment device 1 further includes a mixing section 60 having a mixing cavity 60a formed therein. The mixing cavity 60a is in communication with the plurality of storage cavities 20a, and the mixing cavity 60a is in communication with the washing chamber 10a. Specifically, there may be a plurality of solvent storage modules 20, each having one storage cavity 20a, or each having multiple storage cavities 20a. Each storage cavity 20a can store different types of washing solvents. Different washing solvents can be injected into the mixing cavity 60a of the mixing section 60 to adjust the ratio according to the type of fabric and the degree of stains. Alternatively, only one type of washing solvent can be injected into the mixing cavity 60a of the mixing section 60. The mixing section 60 injects the washing solvent in the mixing cavity 60a into the washing chamber 10a to clean the fabric.
[0064] In some embodiments, when there are many types of washing solvents in the washing chamber 10a, the filtration module 50 can also be used to filter different types of washing solvents. It can be understood that different types of washing solvents may have different densities, masses, and volumes. The filtration module 50 can separate different types of washing solvents and recover them into the corresponding storage chamber 20a.
[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, one of the end covers 512 of the filter module 50 is provided with an inlet 51a connected to the inner cavity 511c and multiple outlets 51b connected to the outer cavity 511d, each outlet 51b is connected to a storage cavity 20a, and the washing solvent entering the filter module 50 can be a mixed liquid of multiple washing solvents.
