Since the lifting rib directly contacts the clothes, the contact probability between the electrode piece of the detection unit and the clothes is greatly increased. With the increase of contact opportunities, the detection unit can more sensitively capture the state changes of the clothes during the drying process.

The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0084] Referring to FIG. 14, the clothes treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a clothes containing barrel 3 and the lifting rib assembly in any one of the embodiments of the present application. The clothes containing barrel 3 has a clothes treatment cavity 3a. The lifting rib 1 is arranged in the clothes treatment cavity 3a.
[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, the type of the clothes treatment device is not limited, which can be a clothes dryer or a washer-dryer, etc., and is not limited herein. Exemplarily, the embodiments of the present application take the clothes treatment device as a clothes dryer for example.
[0086] The clothes containing barrel 3 can rotate, the clothes treatment cavity 3a can be used to place and dry loads such as clothes, and the clothes containing barrel 3 can drive the clothes to rotate.
[0087] Exemplarily, taking a drum-type clothes dryer for example, the rotation axis of the clothes containing barrel 3 is along the horizontal direction, the front side of the clothes containing barrel 3 has a clothes feeding opening communicating with the clothes treatment cavity 3a, and the user feeds or takes out the clothes treatment cavity 3a through the clothes feeding opening. In the rotation process of the clothes containing barrel 3, the clothes are driven to move from the lower side to the upper side, and the clothes fall from the upper side to the lower side under the action of gravity, so that the clothes are dispersed, beaten and changed in posture under the joint action of the clothes containing barrel 3 and gravity.
[0088] Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, in some embodiments, the clothes containing barrel 3 is substantially hollow and cylindrical in shape for easy processing. The clothes containing barrel 3 includes a barrel body 3A and an end cover 3C, the front side of the barrel body 3A has a clothes feeding opening, and the end cover 3C closes the rear end opening of the barrel body 3A.
[0089] Referring to FIG. 14, the clothes containing barrel 3 can be a single-cylinder structure, that is, the clothes treatment device has only the clothes containing barrel 3 as a cylinder.
[0090] In other examples, the clothes treatment device can further include an outer cylinder arranged on the circumferential outer side of the clothes containing barrel 3.
[0091] The embodiments of the present application take a single-cylinder structure of a clothes treatment device as an example for description.
[0092] Exemplarily, the clothes containing barrel 3 is substantially in a hollow cylindrical shape. The clothes containing barrel 3 can be made of metal material, for example, stainless steel material, which is not limited herein.
[0093] Exemplarily, the lifting rib 1 can be arranged on the circumferential surface of the clothes treatment cavity 3a, and the lifting rib 1 protrudes radially from the circumferential surface of the clothes treatment cavity 3a. Specifically, the lifting rib 1 can contact the clothes in the clothes treatment cavity 3a and drive the clothes to rotate with the clothes containing barrel 3. For example, the clothes move upward under the action of the lifting rib 1, and then move downward under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, and so on. In this way, the clothes continuously change the posture in the clothes treatment cavity 3a.
[0094] It can be understood that the circumferential surface of the clothes treatment cavity 3a is the side surface around the rotation axis of the clothes containing barrel 3.
[0095] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 14 and 16, the clothes treatment device includes a box body 6, and the clothes containing barrel 3 is rotatably arranged in the box body 6.
[0096] The box body 6 is used to accommodate the clothes containing barrel 3 and other structural members, and the box body 6 serves as an appearance component of the clothes treatment device and protects the clothes containing barrel 3.
[0097] In some embodiments, the box body 6 can be substantially in a hexahedral shape, for example, a cubic shape or a cuboid shape.
[0098] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 2, the embodiments of the present application provide a lifting rib assembly, which includes the lifting rib 1 and a power receiving device 2. The power receiving device 2 is used to detect a parameter of a load in the clothes treatment cavity 3a and / or process the load.
[0099] At least part of the power receiving device 2 is inlaid in the lifting rib 1, and the power receiving device 2 and the lifting rib 1 jointly constitute an insert injection molding structure.
[0100] The load in the clothes treatment cavity 3a includes but is not limited to clothes and the like, and the parameter can be used to represent the washing and / or drying state of the load, for example, the clothes.
[0101] The power receiving device 2 is a structural member capable of realizing an electrical function and / or used in an electrical circuit to realize at least one electrical function. The power receiving device 2 can receive power and be used to detect a parameter of a load and / or process the load.
[0102] The parameter includes but is not limited to at least one of temperature, electrical conductivity, and pressure, and the like.
[0103] The structure of the power receiving device 2 for detecting parameters such as temperature, conductivity and pressure is not limited, and for example, the power receiving device 2 can detect temperature by a temperature sensor, detect conductivity by a conductivity sensor, and detect pressure by a pressure sensor.
[0104] The manner in which the power receiving device 2 processes the load includes, but is not limited to, heating the load, generating ozone to disinfect and sterilize, and / or emitting ultraviolet light to disinfect and sterilize, and the like.
[0105] The structure of the power receiving device 2 for heating the load is not limited, and for example, the power receiving device 2 can heat the load by a resistive heating module, an infrared heating module, or a graphene heating module.
[0106] The structure of the power receiving device 2 for producing ozone and ultraviolet light is not limited, and the power receiving device 2 can generate ozone by a known ozone-generating module or emit ultraviolet light by an ultraviolet light-emitting module.
[0107] As an example, the parameters include, but are not limited to, at least one of temperature and conductivity, that is, the power receiving device 2 can be used to detect at least one of temperature and conductivity. For example, the power receiving device 2 can be used to detect one of temperature and conductivity, and the power receiving device 2 can also be used to detect both temperature and conductivity. For ease of description, the present application is described by taking drying clothes as an example. If the temperature detection is not accurate enough, the temperature distribution in the clothes treatment cavity is uneven, which can easily lead to insufficient drying or over-drying, and the problem of uneven drying of clothes. Moreover, too high a temperature can damage the fibers of the clothes, causing the clothes to deform, fade, or shorten the service life, and the like. Therefore, temperature has a greater impact on the drying effect of clothes. The conductivity is related to the water content of the clothes, and if the conductivity detection is not accurate enough, the water content of the clothes will not be accurately detected, and the problems of insufficient drying or over-drying can also occur.
[0108] For example, the power receiving device 2 is arranged on the lifting rib 1, and the power receiving device 2 can directly contact the load such as clothes in the clothes treatment cavity 3a, and the drying degree of the clothes can be determined by the temperature or humidity of the clothes. For example, the power receiving device 2 can be used to detect temperature, and the drying degree of the clothes can be determined by the temperature, so as to avoid insufficient drying or over-drying. For another example, the power receiving device 2 can detect conductivity, and the water content of the clothes can be determined by the conductivity, so as to avoid over-drying or insufficient drying. For another example, the power receiving device 2 can detect both the temperature and the conductivity of the clothes, and in this way, the accuracy of the determination can be further improved. In this way, the lifting rib 1 provides a mounting position for the power receiving device 2, so that the power receiving device 2 can closely contact the clothes and other loads in the clothes treatment cavity 3a, and the accuracy of determining the drying degree of the clothes can be improved.
[0109] The power receiving device 2 and the reinforcing rib 1 jointly constitute an insert injection molding structure, which means that the power receiving device 2 is used as an insert and formed through an insert injection molding process. Specifically, the power receiving device 2 is placed in an injection mold as an insert, and then material is injected into the injection mold. After the material cools and solidifies, the reinforcing rib 1 is formed. In this way, at least part of the power receiving device 2 is embedded in the reinforcing rib 1.
[0110] The power receiving device 2 and the reinforcing rib 1 jointly constitute an insert injection molding structure, which means that the power receiving device 2 is used as an insert and formed through an insert injection molding process. Specifically, the power receiving device 2 is placed in an injection mold as an insert, and then material is injected into the injection mold. After the material cools and solidifies, the reinforcing rib 1 is formed. In this way, at least part of the power receiving device 2 is embedded in the reinforcing rib 1.
[0111] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 2-13, the power receiving device 2 includes a detection unit 21, which includes two electrode pieces 211. The electrode pieces 211 have positioning structures 211a for positioning cooperation with the injection mold of the reinforcing rib 1.
[0112] The detection unit 21 can be used to detect electrical conductivity.
[0113] For a single detection unit 21, one of the two electrode pieces 211 is positive, and the other is negative. The principle of the detection unit 21 can include that the load in the clothes treatment cavity 3a contacts the positive and negative electrodes, so that the electrical conductivity detection circuit is turned on. The resistance values of loads with different moisture levels are different. That is, the moisture level of the load is related to the electrical conductivity, and the drying degree is determined according to the electrical conductivity.
[0114] The positioning cooperation between the positioning structure 211a and the injection mold means that the positioning structure 211a cooperates with the positioning piece of the injection mold to limit the electrode piece 211 to a set position of the injection mold.
[0115] In this embodiment, during the insert injection molding process, the electrode piece 211 is placed in the injection mold and positioned by the positioning structure 211a. This avoids displacement or deformation of the electrode piece 211 under the impact of the material, which can improve the yield.
[0116] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 3-10, the positioning structure 211a has a hole-shaped structure 211aa or a slot-shaped structure 211ab with an opening.
[0117] The positioning structure 211a is a space defined by the physical structure of the electrode piece 211, specifically, a positioning column of the injection mold can be inserted into the hole-shaped structure 211aa or the slot-shaped structure 211ab to achieve plug-in positioning.
[0118] For example, the positioning structure 211a is a hole-shaped structure 211aa, which can be a through hole penetrating through both ends along the extension axis of the positioning structure 211a, or a blind hole closed at one end and penetrating at the other end along the extension axis of the positioning structure 211a. The hole-shaped structure 211aa has one or two openings.
[0119] For example, the positioning structure 211a is a slot-shaped structure 211ab with an opening, which means that at least one end of the positioning structure 211a along the extension axis has an opening, and also has an opening along the direction perpendicular to the extension axis. That is, the slot-shaped structure 211ab has two openings or three openings.
[0120] In this embodiment, the positioning structure 211a is a hole-shaped structure 211aa or a slot-shaped structure 211ab with an opening. The positioning structure 211a is simple in form, and in the insert injection molding process, the positioning column of the injection mold can be inserted into the hole-shaped structure 211aa or the slot-shaped structure 211ab, which is simple in installation. Moreover, the positioning structure 211a is a space defined by the physical structure of the electrode piece 211, which can reduce the material usage of the electrode piece 211. The injection mold does not need to be provided with a hole or a slot for positioning, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty.
[0121] The electrode piece 211 can be made of a conductive material, for example, the electrode piece 211 is made of a metal material, such as stainless steel.
[0122] In some embodiments, the electrode piece 211 can be an integrally formed structure. The electrode piece 211 has good strength.
[0123] In some embodiments, the electrode piece 211 is a sheet metal structure.
[0124] The sheet metal structure refers to a structure formed by cold working such as stamping, shearing or bending of a metal plate.
[0125] For example, the hole-shaped structure 211aa or the slot-shaped structure 211ab can be formed on the electrode piece 211 by stamping.
[0126] In this embodiment, the electrode piece 211 is a structure formed by cold working of a metal plate, which has good structural strength and low manufacturing cost.
[0127] In the related art, the conductivity sensor is usually composed of two metal strips. The wet clothes contact the two metal strips to realize the conduction of the circuit, so as to determine the drying degree of the clothes. The conductivity detection sensitivity of the two metal strips is low, and in some scenarios, the dryness judgment is prone to problems, for example, for clothes made of coral velvet material, the coral velvet is prone to not being dried; for example, for clothes made of cotton, hemp and chemical fiber mixed materials, due to the different conductivity values of cotton, hemp and chemical fiber during drying, the cotton is prone to over-drying.
[0128] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 2-13, the electrode piece 211 includes a connecting portion 2111 and a tooth set 2112. The tooth set 2112 includes a plurality of finger-shaped teeth 21121. The plurality of finger-shaped teeth 21121 are sequentially and spacedly arranged along a first direction. All of the finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the tooth set 2112 are connected with the connecting portion 2111. The finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the two electrode pieces 211 are alternately and spacedly arranged along the first direction. The connecting portion 2111 and / or the finger-shaped teeth 21121 are formed with a positioning structure 211a.
[0129] The connecting portion 2111 and / or the finger-shaped teeth 21121 are formed with the positioning structure 211a. In one embodiment, the connecting portion 2111 is formed with the positioning structure 211a, and the finger-shaped teeth 21121 are not formed with the positioning structure 211a. In another embodiment, the connecting portion 2111 is not formed with the positioning structure 211a, and the finger-shaped teeth 21121 are formed with the positioning structure 211a. In yet another embodiment, the connecting portion 2111 and the finger-shaped teeth 21121 are both formed with the positioning structure 211a.
[0130] Some of the finger-shaped teeth 21121 can be formed with the positioning structure 211a, and the other part of the finger-shaped teeth 21121 can not be formed with the positioning structure 211a. All of the finger-shaped teeth 21121 can also have the positioning structure 211a.
[0131] Preferably, the connecting portion 2111 and each finger-shaped tooth 21121 are formed with the positioning structure 211a. In this way, the connecting portion 2111 and all of the finger-shaped teeth 21121 can be positioned, and the risk of deformation or displacement of the finger-shaped teeth 21121 is reduced.
[0132] For ease of description, the positioning structure 211a on the finger-shaped tooth 21121 is defined as a first positioning structure, and the positioning structure 211a on the connecting portion 2111 is defined as a second positioning structure.
[0133] The first positioning structure can be a hole-shaped structure 211aa or a slot-shaped structure 211ab with an opening.
[0134] The second positioning structure can be a hole-shaped structure 211aa or a slot-shaped structure 211ab with an opening.
[0135] For ease of description, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 13, the two electrode pieces 211 are defined as a first electrode 211' and a second electrode 211", the finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the first electrode 211' are defined as first teeth 21121', the connecting portion 2111 of the first electrode 211' is defined as a first connecting portion 2111, the finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the second electrode 211" are defined as second teeth 21121", the connecting portion 2111 of the second electrode 211" is defined as a second connecting portion 2111, and the finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the two electrode pieces 211 are alternately and spacedly arranged along the first direction, which means that there is a second tooth 21121" between any two adjacent first teeth 21121'.
[0136] In this embodiment, the finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the two electrode pieces 211 are alternately and spacedly arranged along the first direction to form an interdigital structure, one first tooth 21121' and one second tooth 21121" form one electrode pair, the detection unit 21 has at least two electrode pairs, the clothes contact at least two electrode pairs, and the conduction between each electrode pair can be regarded as a resistance. At least two electrode pairs can be regarded as at least two resistances in parallel, so that the detection of the change in electrical conductivity is more sensitive, the accuracy and sensitivity of the detection unit 21 are improved, and problems such as incomplete drying or over-drying can be avoided to some extent, and the drying performance is improved.
[0137] The specific structural form of the finger-shaped teeth 21121 is not limited, which can be in the form of a sheet or a column, etc. The cross-sectional shape of the column is not limited, which can be circular or polygonal, such as quadrilateral, pentagonal, etc. It can be understood that the polygon can include a rounded polygon.
[0138] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 2111 is formed with a notch, and the reinforcing rib 1 has a filling portion which fills the notch.
[0139] For example, in the insert injection molding process, the material can enter the notch, and after the material solidifies, the filling portion can be formed.
[0140] It can be understood that the number of notches is not limited, and the number of notches can be one or more.
[0141] In this embodiment, the solid structure of the connecting portion 2111 defines the notch, which can reduce the material of the electrode piece 211 and reduce the cost. The filling portion fills the notch, which can increase the bonding force between the reinforcing rib 1 and the electrode piece 211, so that the connection between the electrode piece 211 and the reinforcing rib 1 is more stable.
[0142] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 2111 can have no notch.
[0143] The connecting position of the finger teeth 21121 and the connecting portion 2111 is not limited, and the connecting portion 2111 can be connected to any position of the length direction of the finger teeth 21121, for example, in some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5, 6 and 13, the connecting portion 2111 is connected to one end of the finger teeth 21121 along the length direction. For example, all the finger teeth 21121 of the tooth group 2112 are located on the same side of the connecting portion 2111. In this way, the connecting portion 2111 and the single tooth group 2112 are roughly comb-shaped.
[0144] In some embodiments, the first positioning structure can be located at the end of the finger tooth 21121 away from the connecting portion 2111.
[0145] For example, the first positioning structure is the groove-shaped structure 211ab, referring to FIGS. 10 to 13, the first positioning structure can be a groove-shaped structure 211ab opening to the side away from the connecting portion 2111. In this way, in the insert injection molding process, the positioning column of the injection mold can enter the groove-shaped structure 211ab through the opening of the groove-shaped structure 211ab, and then the positioning column is inserted into the second positioning structure, which reduces the assembly difficulty, and after the injection is completed, the injection mold can also be separated from the lifting rib assembly more simply, realizing rapid demolding.
[0146] It can be understood that each finger tooth 21121 can have one or more first positioning structures. Considering the positioning requirement and assembly difficulty, it is better that each finger tooth 21121 has one first positioning structure.
[0147] In some embodiments, the second positioning structure can be located at the end of the connecting portion 2111 along the first direction. For example, both ends of the connecting portion 2111 along the first direction are formed with the second positioning structure.
[0148] It can be understood that each connecting portion 2111 can have one or more second positioning structures. Considering the positioning requirement and assembly difficulty, it is better that each connecting portion 2111 has two second positioning structures.
[0149] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 7 to 9, the electrode piece 211 includes two tooth groups 2112 and a sheet group 2113, the two tooth groups 2112 are arranged at intervals along a second direction, and the first direction intersects the second direction; the sheet group 2113 includes a plurality of sheet portions 21131, the plurality of sheet portions 21131 are arranged at intervals along the first direction in sequence, and the sheet portion 21131 connects the finger teeth 21121 of the two tooth groups 2112.
[0150] In some embodiments, one tooth group 2112 is connected to the connecting portion 2111, and the other tooth group 2112 is not connected to the connecting portion 2111.
[0151] The first direction and the second direction can be perpendicular or oblique.
[0152] The finger-shaped teeth 21121 connected by the sheet body 21131 of the two tooth groups 2112 refer to: each sheet body 21131 connects two finger-shaped teeth 21121, and the two finger-shaped teeth 21121 are any one of the two tooth groups 2112.
[0153] As an example, referring to FIGS. 7 to 9, the number of finger-shaped teeth 21121 in the two tooth groups 2112 is the same, and the finger-shaped teeth 21121 are arranged in parallel pairs, and each sheet body 21131 can connect two finger-shaped teeth 21121 in a pair.
[0154] In this embodiment, the electrode piece 211 includes two tooth groups 2112 arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the number of finger-shaped teeth 21121 can be further increased without significantly increasing the size of the electrode piece 211 along the first direction, and each sheet body 21131 connects the finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the two tooth groups 2112, so that the electrode piece 211 becomes a whole, and the detection accuracy is improved.
[0155] In some embodiments, the distance L between the adjacent first tooth 21121' and the second tooth 21121'' is 2 mm to 8 mm. For example, the distance L between the adjacent first tooth 21121' and the second tooth 21121'' is 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 6.5 mm, 7 mm, or 8 mm, and the like. The distance between the adjacent first tooth 21121' and the second tooth 21121'' is 2 mm to 8 mm, which not only takes into account the detection sensitivity and cost, but also has good anti-static interference effect, and to some extent, avoids the problem of too high conductivity value in the process of drying chemical fibers.
[0156] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 7 to 9, the sheet body 21131 is formed with a positioning structure 211a.
[0157] For ease of description, the positioning structure 211a on the sheet body 21131 is defined as a third positioning structure. The third positioning structure can be a hole-shaped structure 211aa (see FIG. 7) or a groove-shaped structure 211ab with an opening.
[0158] In this embodiment, the sheet body 21131 is formed with a positioning structure 211a, which can further limit the electrode piece 211, and reduce the risk of displacement and deformation during injection molding.
[0159] The following exemplary describes three detection units 21 provided by the present application:
[0160] The first detecting unit 21 includes a first electrode 211' and a second electrode 211". The first electrode 211' includes a first connecting portion 2111 and a first set of teeth 2112, and the second electrode 211" includes a second connecting portion 2111 and a second set of teeth 2112. The first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2111 are linear and extend in a first direction. All the first teeth 21121' and all the second teeth 21121" are located between the first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2111. That is, the first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2111 are substantially linear and substantially parallel. The first teeth 21121' and the second teeth 21121" have a first positioning structure in the form of a hole 211aa. The first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2111 have a second positioning structure in the form of a hole 211aa.
[0161] The second detecting unit 21 includes a first electrode 211' and a second electrode 211". The first electrode 211' includes a first connecting portion 2111, two sets of teeth 2112, and a set of blades 2113, and the second electrode 211" includes a second connecting portion 2111, two sets of teeth 2112, and a set of blades 2113. The sets of teeth 2112 and the set of blades 2113 are described above and will not be repeated here. The first teeth 21121' and the second teeth 21121" have a first positioning structure in the form of a hole 211aa. Each blade 21131 has a third positioning structure in the form of a hole 211aa.
[0162] The third detecting unit 21 is similar to the first detecting unit 21 in most aspects, which will not be repeated here. The difference between the third detecting unit 21 and the first detecting unit 21 is that the first positioning structure is in the form of a groove 211ab with an opening.
[0163] In some embodiments, the power receiving device 2 includes the detecting unit 21, and at least part of the detecting unit 21 is located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 1.
[0164] As an example, at least part of the electrode member 211 is located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 1.
[0165] In this embodiment, at least part of the detecting unit 21 is located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 1, and the detecting unit 21 can be in contact with the load such as clothes in the clothes treatment cavity 3a, thereby closely sensing the drying degree of the clothes and effectively improving the accuracy of judging the drying degree of the clothes in the clothes treatment cavity 3a.
[0166] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 14, the number of detection units 21 is two, and the two detection units 21 are respectively located on the two opposite outer sides of the lifting rib 1. For example, the two detection units 21 are respectively located on the two outer sides of the lifting rib 1 along the circumference of the clothes containing barrel.
[0167] As an example, the detection unit 21 includes two electrode pieces 211, and each electrode piece 211 includes a connecting part 2111 and a tooth group 2112.
[0168] In this embodiment, the positive poles of the two detection units 21 can be electrically connected, and the negative poles of the two detection units 21 can be electrically connected, so that the number of the finger-shaped teeth 21121 can be increased, thereby improving the detection accuracy.
[0169] It should be noted that the number of detection units 21 can also be one, three or more.
[0170] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 13, the electrode piece 211 includes the connecting part 2111 and the tooth group 2112, the tooth group 2112 includes a plurality of finger-shaped teeth 21121, the plurality of finger-shaped teeth 21121 are sequentially and spacedly arranged along a first direction, and all the finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the tooth group 2112 are connected with the connecting part 2111.
[0171] The finger-shaped tooth 21121 includes a main plate body 211211 and a profiled part 211212 formed by stamping, and the profiled part 211212 is connected with the main plate body 211211 and protrudes away from the lifting rib 1.
[0172] In this embodiment, the profiled part 211212 is formed by stamping, that is, the profiled part 211212 can be formed by stamping process, so that the strength and rigidity of the finger-shaped tooth 21121 can be improved. The profiled part 211212 protrudes away from the lifting rib 1, that is, the profiled part 211212 and the main plate body 211211 are not in the same plane, which facilitates the profiled part 211212 to contact with the clothes, increases the contact area between the profiled part 211212 and the clothes, and improves the detection accuracy.
[0173] In some embodiments, the corners of the electrode piece 211 are arc-shaped. For example, the corners of the main plate body 211211 and the corners of the connecting part 2111 are circularly arc-shaped. By reducing the sharp corners of the electrode piece 211, the stress concentration points can be reduced, and the risk of hooking the clothes can also be reduced.
[0174] In some embodiments, the surface of the profiled part 211212 is arc-shaped. The surface of the profiled part 211212 needs to contact with the clothes, and the arc surface can avoid hooking the clothes to a certain extent, reduce the mutual abrasion between the clothes and the surface of the profiled part 211212, and also reduce the stress concentration.
[0175] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12, the profiled portion 211212 includes a contact wall 211212a and a transition wall 211212b. The contact wall 211212a is located on the side of the main plate body 211211 away from the lifting rib 1. The transition wall 211212b surrounds the contact wall 211212a and connects the contact wall 211212a and the main plate body 211211. The transition wall 211212b forms a trumpet-shaped space that opens to the side away from the contact wall 211212a and gradually expands.
[0176] The transition wall 211212b forms a trumpet-shaped space that opens to the side away from the contact wall 211212a and gradually expands, that is, the cross-sectional area of the space formed by the transition wall 211212b gradually expands in the direction away from the contact wall 211212a.
[0177] In this embodiment, during the process of forming the profiled portion 211212 by stamping with a stamping tool, the transition wall 211212b forms a trumpet-shaped space that opens to the side away from the contact wall 211212a and gradually expands, facilitating the stamping tool to move away from the profiled portion 211212 in the direction away from the contact wall 211212a, and reducing the manufacturing difficulty.
[0178] Referring to FIG. 19, in some embodiments, at least part of the surface of the lifting rib 1 is a metal member, and the power receiving device 20 includes a detection unit 21 including at least two electrode members 211 arranged in a split manner. At least part of the metal member is one of the at least two electrode members 211.
[0179] The working principle of the detection unit 21 is based on direct contact between the electrode members 211 and the clothes. When the clothes are processed in the clothes holding cavity 3a, the electrode members 211 can capture various information of the surface of the clothes. This contact detection method enables the detection unit 21 to accurately and timely reflect the state of the clothes, providing important data support for the clothes processing process.
[0180] It can be understood that the detection unit 21 can have various detection principles. For example, the detection unit 21 can be a capacitive power receiving device, which uses a capacitor structure formed by the two electrode members 211 to detect the capacitance characteristics of the clothes, and then analyzes the material or water content of the clothes, etc. information, so as to obtain the dryness degree of the clothes. For example, the detection unit 21 can be a resistive power receiving device, which uses the resistance value change in the resistance structure formed by the two electrode members 211 to detect the resistance characteristics of the clothes, and then analyzes the material or water content of the clothes, etc. information, so as to obtain the dryness degree of the clothes.
[0181] Based on the above embodiments, the clothes treatment device 100 realizes effective and reliable monitoring of the drying degree of clothes by introducing the detection unit 21. Specifically, one of the two split electrode pieces 211 in the detection unit 21 is directly designed as a metal component on the lifting rib 1. In the actual clothes treatment process, when the lifting rib 1 operates according to the preset program to lift the clothes in the clothes barrel 3, this design makes the contact between the metal component and the clothes more frequent and close. Since the metal component is part of the lifting rib 1, it can not only perform the original function of lifting clothes, but also serve as a detection function of the detection unit 21. Since the lifting rib 1 directly contacts the clothes, it greatly increases the contact probability between the electrode piece 211 of the detection unit 21 and the clothes. With the increase of contact opportunities, the detection unit 21 can more sensitively capture the state changes of the clothes during the drying process. Further, it not only significantly improves the reliability of detection, but also further enhances the accuracy of detection. Because every movement of the lifting rib 1 will naturally lead to close contact between the metal component and the clothes, this natural interaction process ensures the continuity and real-time of the detection data. Each contact is equivalent to an accurate measurement of the drying state of the clothes, thereby accumulating a large amount of accurate and reliable detection data.
[0182] In summary, by introducing the detection unit 21 and innovatively combining it with the metal component of the lifting rib 1, the clothes treatment device 100 realizes effective monitoring of the drying degree of clothes, improves the reliability and accuracy of detection, and provides more accurate control basis for the clothes treatment process. And enhance the metal texture of the lifting rib while improving the integration of functional components, reduce the occupation of installation space.
[0183] Referring to FIG. 19, in some structural forms, the lifting rib 1 comprises two or more metal members arranged at intervals. In this way, the two metal members can serve as the two electrode pieces 211 of the detection unit 21 respectively, thereby achieving an optimal configuration of the two electrode pieces 211 in terms of physical position. Such a configuration not only maintains the necessary spacing between the electrode pieces 211 to avoid direct electrical connection or interference, but also greatly facilitates the contact between the electrode pieces 211 and the clothes. Because the lifting rib 1 constantly lifts and moves the clothes during the clothes treatment process, the electrode pieces 211 located on the lifting rib 30 naturally have more opportunities to contact the clothes. With the movement of the lifting rib 1, the contact between the two electrode pieces 211 and the clothes becomes more frequent and close. Such frequent contact not only increases the likelihood of the electrode pieces 211 capturing changes in the state of the clothes, but also significantly improves the probability of contact, enabling the detection unit 21 to more sensitively perceive the dryness level of the clothes. Ultimately, this design further improves the reliability of detection by optimizing the layout of the electrode pieces 211. Because both electrode pieces 211 are located on the lifting rib 1 and can make close contact with the clothes, the detection unit 21 can obtain more accurate and continuous monitoring data. These data provide a more reliable basis for the clothes treatment device 100, enabling it to more accurately control the drying process and thus ensure that the drying effect of the clothes reaches an optimal state.
[0184] In other embodiments, with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18, the other of the two electrode pieces 211 of the detection unit 21 can also be arranged on the barrel body 3A of the clothes containing barrel 3, on the front support, or directly as part of the barrel body 3A of the clothes containing barrel 3. By electrically connecting the electrodes at different positions to form a detection loop, it can be ensured that the contact between the electrode pieces 211 and the clothes is more comprehensive and stable. Because the clothes containing barrel 3 constantly rotates and agitates the clothes during the clothes treatment process, the electrode pieces 211 located on the barrel body 3A can naturally make more contact with the clothes, thereby capturing more state information. Secondly, this design also improves the accuracy and reliability of detection. Because the electrode pieces 211 are closely integrated with the clothes containing barrel 3, the electrical connection between them is more stable, reducing detection errors caused by poor or loose contact. At the same time, the integrated design also reduces the risk of damage to the electrode pieces 211 due to external forces, further prolonging the service life of the detection unit 21.
[0185] Referring to FIG. 19, in other embodiments, the at least two electrode members 211 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the laundry tub 3. It can be understood that the axial direction of the laundry tub 3 refers to the extension direction of the rotation axis of the laundry tub 3. The above arrangement enables the electrode members 211 to more effectively cover the internal space of the laundry tub 3, so as to more evenly act on the laundry during the washing process, whether located in the upper, middle or lower part of the tub, ensuring that each electrode member 211 can independently and effectively play its function.
[0186] Referring to FIG. 19, optionally, the outer surface of the lifting rib 1 includes a first contact surface 13 and a second contact surface 14 extending along the axial direction of the laundry tub 3, and the at least one electrode member 211 simultaneously spans the first contact surface 13 and the second contact surface 14. Specifically, the first contact surface 13 and the second contact surface 14 can be a plane that is easy to process and manufacture, so as to simplify the production process, or can be a soft arc surface to increase the contact area with the laundry, thereby further improving the treatment effect. The at least one electrode member 211 simultaneously spans the first contact surface 13 and the second contact surface 14 to form a multi-point contact, so as to ensure that there is sufficient contact area between the electrode and the laundry, effectively improve the probability of contact between the electrode member 211 and the load such as laundry during detection, reduce errors that may be caused by poor contact or insufficient contact area, and effectively improve the accuracy of judging the dryness degree of the laundry in the laundry tub.
[0187] In other embodiments, the lifting rib 1 further includes a third contact surface 15 connected between the first contact surface 13 and the second contact surface 14, and the third contact surface 15 is arranged at an angle with the first contact surface 13 and the second contact surface 14, respectively, and extends along the axial direction of the laundry tub 3, and the at least one electrode member 211 simultaneously spans the first contact surface 13, the second contact surface 14 and the third contact surface 15. Among them, the first contact surface 13, the second contact surface 14 and the newly added third contact surface 15 cooperatively form a trapezoidal shape, so that the lifting rib 1 forms a stable and multi-level support and contact system. This design enables the lifting rib 1 to better adapt to and guide the motion trajectory of the laundry, ensuring that the laundry is more evenly and effectively treated in the laundry tub 3. At the same time, the at least one electrode member 211 simultaneously spans the first contact surface 13, the second contact surface 14 and the third contact surface 15. This increases the contact opportunity and contact area between the electrode member 211 and the laundry, so that the detection unit 21 can more sensitively and accurately capture the change of the moisture content of the laundry. This comprehensive contact coverage not only improves the detection accuracy, but also makes the judgment of the drying degree more accurate.
[0188] Referring to FIGS. 19-20, in some embodiments, the lifting rib 1 includes a lifting body 21a, a conductive region 24a on the surface of the lifting body 21a, and an outer shell 23a covering the outer surface of the lifting body 21a. Both the outer shell 23a and the conductive region 24a are configured as metal components.
[0189] The introduction of the outer shell 23a serves as a layer of solid protection for the lifting body 21a against various challenges that can be encountered in daily use. Inside the laundry treatment device, the lifting rib 1 often needs to withstand the friction, impact of the laundry, and the erosion of the washing liquid. The presence of the outer shell 23a effectively reduces the direct damage of these external factors to the lifting body 21a, thereby significantly prolonging its service life. This design not only improves the durability of the device, but also reduces the maintenance cost of the user. Secondly, the design of the outer shell 23a also plays an important role in improving the overall quality. The outer shell 23a is usually made of materials with excellent texture and exquisite appearance, which, when combined with the lifting body 21a, makes the entire lifting rib 1 more visually unified and coordinated. This design also serves as a decorative piece, enhancing the aesthetics of the device and improving the user's experience, allowing the user to feel a sense of refinement and elegance every time they use the device.
[0190] In some embodiments, since the outer shell 23a is a metal component, the metal outer shell 23a effectively increases the contact area of the electrode piece 211, allowing the electrode piece 211 to make more complete contact with the laundry, thereby more accurately capturing the state information of the laundry. This design improves the accuracy and sensitivity of detection, allowing the laundry treatment device to better control the washing process and ensure the best washing effect for the laundry. In addition, the metal outer shell 23a further enhances the overall quality and aesthetics of the device visually. The luster and texture of the metal complement the overall style of the device, making the device more visually unified and coordinated.
[0191] In other embodiments, the conductive region 24a is configured as part of the metal component. The conductive metal region 24a can be independently embedded or attached to the lifting body 21a to form the entire metal component of the lifting body 21a, or it can be combined with the outer shell 23a to form the metal component. In this implementation, the metal conductive region 24a can serve as part of the electrode piece 211, while the outer shell 23a only serves as a decorative piece; or the metal conductive region 24a and the outer shell 23a together form part of the electrode piece 211.
[0192] Referring to FIGS. 21 and 22, in some embodiments, the number of electrode pieces 211 is multiple, in which the electrical connection ends 311 of part of the electrode pieces 211 are electrically connected to form a first electrode group 30A, and the electrical connection ends 311 of the remaining electrode pieces 211 are electrically connected to form a second electrode group 30B, and the polarities of the first electrode group 30A and the second electrode group 30B are different. Since the two groups of electrodes are independent of each other in polarity, they can check and complement each other during operation, reducing the impact of a single electrode failure on the entire system. This redundant design enhances the fault tolerance of the system, making the clothes treatment process more stable and reliable.
[0193] It should be noted that this grouping design also provides flexibility in the layout of the electrode pieces 211. For example, the electrode pieces 211 of the first electrode group 30A can be arranged on the barrel body 3A of the clothes containing barrel 3 or the front support, while the electrode pieces 211 of the second electrode group 30B can be designed as metal members of the lifting ribs 1. Alternatively, the metal members of the lifting ribs 1 themselves can form the first electrode group 30A, and other electrode pieces 211 can be arranged on the outer surface of the lifting ribs 1 to form the second electrode group 30B. This flexible layout not only meets different design requirements, but also improves the space utilization and detection efficiency of the electrode pieces 211.
[0194] In summary, by grouping and setting electrode pieces 211 with different polarities, as well as flexible layout, the stability and reliability of the clothes treatment device 100 are improved, and the fault tolerance and detection efficiency are enhanced. This design optimization not only meets the user's demand for the performance of the clothes treatment device 100, but also improves the overall user experience.
[0195] Referring to FIGS. 21 and 22, further, the electrode pieces 211 of the first electrode group 30A and the electrode pieces 211 of the second electrode group 30B are arranged alternately along the axial direction of the clothes containing barrel 3. This alternating arrangement of the two groups of electrode pieces 211 forms a more balanced and comprehensive electric field distribution inside the clothes containing barrel 3. No matter where the clothes are located in the clothes containing barrel 3, they can be affected by the joint action of the two groups of electrode pieces 211, thereby ensuring the uniformity and effectiveness of the electric field during the drying process. In addition, this alternating arrangement also helps to improve the accuracy of detection. When the clothes are in contact with the electrode pieces 211 of the first electrode group 30A and the second electrode group 30B at the same time, the two groups of electrode pieces 211 can more comprehensively capture the change in electrical conductivity of the clothes, thereby more accurately reflecting the drying degree of the clothes.
[0196] Referring to FIG. 19, FIG. 21, FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, in some embodiments, the lifting rib 1 has a light-transmitting area 20a, the detection unit 21 further comprises a control element (not shown), and the clothes treatment device 100 further comprises a light piece 40A, which is connected to the side of the lifting rib 1 away from the outer surface and is arranged corresponding to the light-transmitting area 20a, and the control element is electrically connected with the light piece 40A and the electrode piece 211 respectively. The light piece 40A can present different display states according to the detection unit 21.
[0197] The control element can control the start and stop of the detection unit 21, the control board can be used to realize input functions such as signal acquisition and processing, and output functions such as sending control instructions to control the work of the actuator. For example, the control board can control the power supply on and off. The control element can include an MCU, i.e., a Microcontroller Unit. In actual operation, the detection unit 21 will monitor the electrical conductivity of the clothes in real time and transmit this information to the control element. After receiving this information, the control element will make corresponding adjustments to the light piece 40A according to the preset logic algorithm, so that it presents different display states matching the electrical conductivity. For example, when the electrical conductivity of the clothes is high, the light piece 40A may light up a brighter color or pattern; when the electrical conductivity is low, it may present a dimmer or different color. This design not only improves the intelligent level of the clothes treatment device 100, but also provides more intuitive and convenient visual feedback for users. Users can quickly understand the electrical conductivity of the clothes and the dryness of the clothes by observing the display state of the light piece 40A. At the same time, due to the close cooperation of the light piece 40A, the control element and the electrode piece 211, the response speed of the whole system has been significantly improved, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the detection. It should be noted that the light-transmitting area 20a can be realized by a light-transmitting sheet, which is a kind of transparent or translucent material, and is ingeniously embedded in the structure of the lifting rib 1 to form a specific light-transmitting area 20a.
[0198] Further, the light-transmitting area 20a is arranged near the barrel opening of the clothes holding barrel 3. Arranging the light-transmitting area 20a near the barrel opening means that when the user stands in front of the clothes treatment device 100, their line of sight can fall more naturally on the light-transmitting area 20a. In this way, users can easily observe the display state displayed by the light piece 40A through the light-transmitting sheet without having to strain to find or adjust their viewing angle. This design improves the friendliness of the user interface, and users can quickly understand the electrical conductivity of the clothes through simple observation.
[0199] Referring to FIG. 21 and FIG. 24, optionally, the lifting rib 1 comprises a lifting body 21a and a protruding portion 22a connected to each other, the light-transmitting region 20a is located at the protruding portion 22a, and a projection of the protruding portion 22a in the axial direction of the clothes containing barrel 3 is located outside the lifting body 21a. As the projection of the protruding portion 22a is located outside the lifting body 21a, the light-transmitting region 20a is more visually prominent and eye-catching. Therefore, when the user stands in front of the clothes treatment apparatus 100, their line of sight can fall more directly on the light-transmitting region 20a. In this way, the user can easily observe the display state displayed by the light member 40A through the light-transmitting sheet without having to laboriously search for or adjust the viewing angle. This design undoubtedly improves the friendliness of the user interface and the interactivity of the device.
[0200] In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, the lifting rib 20 can be made of plastic, and the lifting rib 20 comprises a first contact surface 21 and a second contact surface 22 extending in the axial direction of the clothes containing barrel 3, the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22 are arranged at an angle, and the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22 are used to contact the clothes in the clothes containing barrel 3. It can be understood that the axial direction of the clothes containing barrel 3 refers to the extension direction of the rotation axis of the clothes containing barrel 3. Specifically, the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22 can be either a plane that is easy to process and manufacture to simplify the production process, or a soft arc surface to increase the contact area with the clothes and further improve the treatment effect. It should be noted that the specific angle range of the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22 can be set according to the shape of the lifting rib 20, which is not limited.
[0201] The detection unit 21 can detect the electrical conductivity of the load such as clothes in the clothes containing cavity 3a. The clothes treatment apparatus can determine the drying degree according to the electrical conductivity detected by the detection unit 21. The detection unit 21 comprises a first electrode member 31 and a second electrode member 32, and the detection principle of the detection unit 21 can be that the load in the clothes containing cavity 3a contacts the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 of the detection unit 21, so that the electrical conductivity detection circuit is turned on, and the resistance values of loads with different moisture levels are different, that is, the moisture level of the load is related to the electrical conductivity, and the drying degree is determined according to the electrical conductivity.
[0202] Among them, the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 are arranged on the lifting rib 20 at intervals, and are arranged at least on one of the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22, and at least one of the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 simultaneously spans the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22. The first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 are both made of conductive material, for example, the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 are both made of metal material.
[0203] Based on the above embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus 100 proposed in the embodiments of the present application directly sets the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 of the detection unit 21 on the lifting rib 20 and at least on one of the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22. In this way, the load such as laundry in the laundry tub 3 can directly contact the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32, so that the drying degree of the laundry can be sensed at a close distance.
[0204] Meanwhile, at least one of the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 simultaneously bridges the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22, so that a multi-point contact is formed to ensure that the electrode has sufficient contact area with the laundry, effectively improving the probability of contact between the electrode member and the load such as laundry during detection, reducing errors that may be caused by poor contact or insufficient contact area, and effectively improving the accuracy of determining the drying degree of the laundry in the laundry tub.
[0205] With reference to FIGS. 25 and 26, in some embodiments, the lifting rib 20 further includes a third contact surface 23 connected between the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22, and the third contact surface 23 is arranged at an angle with the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22 respectively and extends in the axial direction of the laundry tub 3.
[0206] The first contact surface 21, the second contact surface 22, and the newly added third contact surface 23 form a trapezoidal shape in cooperation, so that the lifting rib 20 forms a stable and multi-level support and contact system. This design enables the lifting rib 20 to better adapt to and guide the movement trajectory of the laundry, ensuring that the laundry is more evenly and effectively treated in the laundry tub 3. Meanwhile, at least one of the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 simultaneously bridges the first contact surface 21, the second contact surface 22, and the third contact surface 23. In this way, the contact opportunity and contact area between the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 and the laundry are increased, so that the detection unit 21 can more sensitively and accurately capture the change in moisture content of the laundry. This comprehensive contact coverage not only improves the accuracy of conductivity detection, but also makes the determination of the drying degree more accurate.
[0207] In some embodiments, the first electrode member 31 includes a first connecting portion 311 and a first tooth portion 312 connected to the first connecting portion 311, and the first connecting portion 311 is arranged on the lifting rib 20 and extends in the axial direction of the laundry tub 3.
[0208] The first connecting portion 311 is linearly and parallelly extended. The specific structural form of the first tooth portion 312 is not limited, which can be in a sheet shape or a column shape, etc. The cross-sectional shape of the column shape is not limited, which can be circular or polygonal, such as quadrilateral, pentagonal, etc. It can be understood that the polygonal shape can include a rounded polygonal shape. The first tooth portion 312 simultaneously spans the first contact surface 21, the second contact surface 22, and the third contact surface 23, so as to further enhance the contact probability with the load such as clothes, and further improve the accuracy of judging the drying degree of the clothes in the clothes containing drum.
[0209] Further, the second electrode member 32 includes a second connecting portion 321 and a second tooth portion 322 connected with the second connecting portion 321. The second connecting portion 321 is arranged on the lifting rib 20 and extends along the axial direction of the clothes containing drum 3. The second connecting portion 321 is also linearly and parallelly extended. All the first tooth portions 312 and all the second tooth portions 322 are located between the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 321. That is, the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 321 are substantially linear or curved structures. For example, the shape of the first tooth portion 312 is substantially the same as the shape of the second tooth portion 322, the first tooth portion 312 is substantially parallel to the second tooth portion 322, and the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 321 are linear structures and are substantially parallel.
[0210] The specific structural form of the second tooth portion 322 is not limited, which can be in a sheet shape or a column shape, etc. In this embodiment, the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 have simple structure, compact structure, and neat and beautiful appearance shape.
[0211] The first tooth portion 312 and the second tooth portion 322 are arranged at intervals and simultaneously span the first contact surface 21, the second contact surface 22, and the third contact surface 23, so as to further enhance the contact probability with the load such as clothes, and further improve the accuracy of judging the drying degree of the clothes in the clothes containing drum.
[0212] In some embodiments, the first electrode member 31 can be an integrally formed structure. That is, the first connecting portion 311, the first tooth portion 312, etc. can be integrally formed.
[0213] In some embodiments, the second electrode member 32 can be an integrally formed structure. That is, the second connecting portion 321, the second tooth portion 322, etc. can be integrally formed.
[0214] In some embodiments, the first contact surface 21, the second contact surface 22, and the third contact surface 23 are collectively inwardly recessed to form a limiting groove 20a, and the first tooth portion 312 and the second tooth portion 322 are embedded in the limiting groove 20a. In this way, the relative displacement or looseness between the first tooth portion 312 and the second tooth portion 322 is effectively reduced, thereby improving the overall stability and durability of the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32.
[0215] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device 100 further comprises a partition 40 connected to the lifting rib 20 and located in the limiting groove 20a, and the opposite sides of the partition 40 are respectively in abutment with the adjacent first tooth portion 312 and the second tooth portion 322. In this way, not only can the stable spacing of the adjacent first tooth portion 312 and the second tooth portion 322 be ensured, effectively avoiding direct contact between the two, but also the positional relative stability between the first tooth portion 312 and the second tooth portion 322 is enhanced, that is, even in the process of high-speed or complex operation of the clothes containing barrel 3, lateral deviation or misplacement of the tooth portions can be effectively prevented, the stability and smooth operation of the overall structure of the laundry treatment device 100 are ensured, and the structural strength and operational reliability of the entire laundry treatment device 100 are further improved. It can be understood that the partition 40 can be provided in a strip shape, and the length extension direction thereof is consistent with the first tooth portion 312 and the second tooth portion 322. When the number of the first tooth portion 312 and the second tooth portion 322 increases and is arranged alternately in a specific order, the partition 40 can also be flexibly increased in number to ensure that there is a partition 40 between each adjacent tooth portion. Such a design not only enhances the partitioning effect between the tooth portions, but also improves the structural stability and operational efficiency of the entire laundry treatment device 100.
[0216] In some embodiments, the surface of the partition 40 away from the lifting rib 20 is flush with the outer surface of the first tooth portion 312 and the outer surface of the second tooth portion 322. In this way, the risk of damage that may be encountered during the drying process of the laundry and the like is significantly reduced. Because the surfaces are flush, the partition 40 will not become an obstacle when the laundry slides or turns over, reducing unnecessary friction and collision between the laundry and the partition 40, thereby protecting the texture and appearance of the laundry and prolonging the service life of the laundry.
[0217] Optionally, the partition 40 and the lifting rib 20 are of an integral structure. In this way, this design not only simplifies the production process and reduces the number of parts, but also significantly enhances the connection strength between the partition 40 and the lifting rib 20. Because the two are present as a whole, their synergistic effect is closer, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire laundry treatment device 100.
[0218] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 311 is located on the side where the first contact surface 21 is located, and the second connecting portion 321 is located on the side where the second contact surface 22 is located. In this way, this layout not only simplifies the installation process, making the operation more convenient and efficient, but also effectively avoids mutual interference of the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 321 during installation or use. Through such a design, not only is the overall installation efficiency improved, but also the faults that may be caused by improper positioning of the connecting portions are reduced, further enhancing the stability and reliability.
[0219] With reference to FIGS. 26-28, in some embodiments, the first tooth portion 312 includes a first connecting segment 3121, a first linking segment 3122, and a first free segment 3123 connected in sequence, the first connecting segment 3121 being connected with the first connecting portion 311, and the second tooth portion 322 includes a second connecting segment 3221, a second linking segment 3222, and a second free segment 3223 connected in sequence, the second connecting segment 3221 being connected with the second connecting portion 321. Specifically, the first tooth portion 312 and the second tooth portion 322 are each composed of multiple segments connected in sequence to maintain the integrity of the structure.
[0220] The first connecting segment 3121 and the second free segment 3223 are arranged in a spaced manner and are both attached to the first contact surface 21. This arrangement not only avoids mutual interference, but also improves the stability with the first contact surface 21 by increasing the contact area. Similarly, the first linking segment 3122 and the second linking segment 3222 are arranged in a spaced manner and are both attached to the third contact surface 23, and the first free segment 3123 and the second connecting segment 3221 are arranged in a spaced manner and are both attached to the second contact surface 22, which effectively improves the contact stability of the overall structure.
[0221] This attachment method not only enhances the stability of the tooth portion in different force directions, but also reduces the risk of excessive stress on a single point by dispersing the contact points, thereby prolonging the service life of the component.
[0222] In some embodiments, the first connecting segment 3121 and the first linking segment 3122 are connected by bending, i.e., the connection between the first connecting segment 3121 and the first linking segment 3122 is arranged in an arc surface, which effectively avoids the damage that sharp corners may cause to clothes during detection. Similarly, the first free segment 3123 and the first linking segment 3122, the second connecting segment 3221 and the second linking segment 3222, and the second free segment 3223 and the second linking segment 3222 are also designed with a bending connection. This consistent bending connection strategy not only further reduces the potential threat of the overall structure to clothes during operation, improving the safety of use.
[0223] With reference to FIGS. 26-28, in some embodiments, the first teeth 312 and the second teeth 322 are provided in plurality, and the plurality of first teeth 312 and the plurality of second teeth 322 are arranged alternately along the axial direction of the drum. In this embodiment, the first teeth 312 and the second teeth 322 are arranged alternately and spaced apart to form a finger structure, one first tooth 312 and one second tooth 322 form one electrode pair, the detection unit 21 has at least two electrode pairs, the clothes contact at least two electrode pairs, and the conduction between each electrode pair can be regarded as a resistance. At least two electrode pairs can be regarded as at least two resistances in parallel, so that the detection of the change in electrical conductivity is more sensitive, the accuracy and sensitivity of the detection unit 21 are improved, and problems such as under-drying or over-drying can be avoided to some extent, and the drying performance is improved.
[0224] In some embodiments, the distance L between adjacent first teeth 312 and second teeth 322 is 2-8 mm. For example, the distance L between adjacent first teeth 312 and second teeth 322 is 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 6.5 mm, 7 mm, or 8 mm, etc. The smaller the distance between the first teeth 312 and the second teeth 322, the higher the detection sensitivity, but the material usage of the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 is larger, and the cost is higher. The distance between adjacent first teeth 312 and second teeth 322 is 2-8 mm, which can balance the detection sensitivity and cost, and has good anti-static interference effect, and to some extent, avoids the problem of too high electrical conductivity value during the drying process of chemical fiber.
[0225] With reference to FIGS. 26-30, in some embodiments, the lifting rib 20 has a receiving groove 20A formed on the side away from the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 22, the clothes treatment device 100 includes a control panel (not shown) located in the receiving groove 20A, and the drum 3 has a first end 10a and a second end 10b located at opposite ends in the axial direction thereof. The detection unit 21 includes a first terminal 33 and a second terminal 34, the first terminal 33 is connected to the first tooth 312 close to the first end 10a, the second terminal 34 is connected to the second tooth 322 close to the first end 10a, and the first terminal 33 and the second terminal 34 both extend into the receiving groove 20A and are connected to the control panel.
[0226] The control board can control the start and stop of the detection unit 21, and can be used to realize input functions such as signal acquisition and processing, and output functions such as sending control instructions to control the operation of the actuator. For example, the control board can control the on-off of power supply. The control board can include an MCU, i.e., a Microcontroller Unit. In this embodiment, the first terminal 33 and the second terminal 34 are connected to the control board to transmit electrical signals between the control board and the detection unit 21. The first terminal 33, the second terminal 34 and the control board are all located in the accommodation groove 20A, so as to avoid the first terminal 33, the second terminal 34 and the control board contacting the load as much as possible, and to improve the safety. In addition, the first terminal 33 and the second terminal 34 are arranged at the same end, so as to improve the convenience of installation and reduce the wiring length.
[0227] In some embodiments, the first terminal 33 can be connected to the first connecting segment 3122 of the first tooth portion 312, and the second terminal 34 can be connected to the second connecting segment 3222 of the second tooth portion 322. It can be understood that the first connecting segment 3122 is located at the third contact surface 23, and the second connecting segment 3222 is located at the third contact surface 23. The third contact surface 23 is arranged opposite to the rotation axis of the clothes containing barrel 3, so that when installing, the first terminal 33 and the second terminal 34 pass through the third contact surface 23 to be located in the accommodation groove 20A, thereby reducing the difficulty of connection during installation, and the operation can be more smoothly completed, the installation difficulty is reduced, and the use experience is improved.
[0228] With reference to FIGS. 27 and 29, in some embodiments, the detection unit 21 further includes a barrel connecting terminal 35, one end of the barrel connecting terminal 35 is connected to the first tooth portion 312 close to the second end 10b, and the other end of the barrel connecting terminal 35 extends into the accommodation groove 20A and is connected to the clothes containing barrel 3. The barrel connecting terminal 35 can be made of a conductive material, for example, the barrel connecting terminal 35 is made of a metal material. In this way, when the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 are in conduction, the clothes containing barrel 3 can serve as part of the first electrode 31, reducing the measurement error caused by polarization. At the same time, the barrel connecting terminal 35 is arranged close to the second end 10b, so as to effectively avoid unnecessary interference or conflict with the first terminal 33 during installation, and to ensure smooth and efficient installation process.
[0229] Specifically, the connecting hole is arranged on the bucket terminal 35, the lifting rib 20 and the clothes containing barrel 3. The fastener is sequentially arranged in the connecting holes of the clothes containing barrel 3, the bucket terminal 35 and the lifting rib 20, so as to fix the bucket terminal 35 and the lifting rib 20 and the clothes containing barrel 3. The fastener can be hidden in the accommodating groove 20A, which can avoid the damage of the clothes to the fastener and the bucket terminal 35 to a certain extent, improve the safety and reliability. The type of the fastener is not limited, and the fastener includes but is not limited to a screw or a bolt and the like. As described above, the bucket terminal 35 is connected to the first connection section 3122 of the first tooth part 312, so that when the installation is performed, the connection difficulty is reduced, the operation can be more smoothly completed, the installation difficulty is reduced, and the use experience is improved.
[0230] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 2 and 7, the power receiving device 2 includes a temperature detection member 22, which is arranged on the electrode member 211.

In this way, one detection unit 21 can be assembled on one lifting rib 1.
[0235] In some embodiments, the main body part 11 includes two side plates, a top plate and an end plate. The two side plates are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, the bottom ends of the two side plates are connected with the circumferential side wall of the clothes containing barrel 3, the top plate is connected with the top ends of the two side plates, and the end plate is connected with the front ends of the two side plates.

The two side plates, the top plate and the end plate can be integrally formed by injection molding, and the connection portions can be smoothly transitioned.
[0236] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 7, the lifting rib 1 comprises an extension 12 connected to the rear end of the main body 11, the extension 12 is arranged on the rear surface of the clothes handling cavity 3a. The extension 12 arranged on the rear surface of the clothes handling cavity 3a can increase the volume in the lifting rib 1 without increasing the radial dimension of the lifting rib 1 as a whole, so as to accommodate the conductive wire harness 7, the receiving circuit board and other structures; the extension 12 can cover part of the rear surface of the clothes handling cavity 3a, so as to shield the wire passing hole 3b of the rear sidewall of the clothes holding drum 3 and other structures.
[0237] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 14, the extension 12 is open towards the rear side, and the rear surface of the clothes handling cavity 3a can shield the opening of the extension 12 towards the rear side.
[0238] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 14, the extension 12 can extend towards the rotation axis of the clothes holding drum 3, and the vertex of the extension 12 protrudes above the top side of the main body 11 in the radial direction of the clothes holding drum 3. That is to say, the outer contour of both the main body 11 and the extension 12 is substantially L-shaped.
[0239] In some embodiments, the surface of the extension 12 towards the rear side is attached to the rear surface of the clothes handling cavity 3a.
