[0068] Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. The detailed description in the specific implementation should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as an undue limitation on this application.

[0069] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish different objects and do not indicate that the objects have the sameness or relationship. It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, "down" refers to the direction of the ground, and "up" is the opposite of "down"; "front" refers to the direction towards the user, and "back" is the opposite of "front"; the up-down direction is perpendicular to the front-back direction. In the embodiments of this application, the orientation or positional relationship of "up," "down," "front," and "back" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these orientational terms are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0070] The type of clothing processing device 10 provided in this application embodiment is not limited; the clothing processing device 10 can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. A dryer refers to a device with a drying function. A washer-dryer combo refers to a device that integrates drying and washing functions, and the clothes compartment 1a can be used for washing and drying. The washing function can include cleaning and dehydration. Exemplarily, this application embodiment uses a dryer as an example for description of the clothing processing device 10.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. The clothing processing device 10 provided in this application embodiment includes a clothes container 1, a first cable 41, and a lifting rib 2.

[0072] The clothes container 1 has a clothes-holding cavity 1a and a thread-passing hole 11a, which connects the clothes-holding cavity 1a and the outside of the clothes container 1. That is, the thread-passing hole 11a penetrates through the wall of the clothes container 1.

[0073] The garment holding cavity 1a can be used to hold loads such as clothes. The garment holding tube 1 can rotate, and the lifting rib 2 can contact the clothes in the garment holding cavity 1a and drive the clothes to rotate with the garment holding tube 1.

[0074] The lifting rib 2 is disposed inside the garment cavity 1a and covers the wire passage hole 11a. At least a portion of the first cable 41 passes through the wire passage hole 11a and extends into the garment cavity 1a.

[0075] The clothing processing device 10 provided in this application embodiment has at least a portion of the first cable 41 passing through the cable hole 11a. The cable hole 11a reduces the difficulty of arranging the first cable 41 in the clothes holding tube 1. The lifting rib 2 shields the cable hole 11a, which can reduce the risk of fluid, such as airflow, in the clothes holding cavity 1a leaking to the outside through the cable hole 11a. The lifting rib 2 can be used to move the clothes in the clothes holding cavity 1a, and can also be reused to provide shielding protection for the cable hole 11a, thus protecting the cable hole 11a from contact with the clothes to a certain extent and improving reliability.

[0076] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first cable 41 passes through the cable hole 11a and extends into the lifting rib 2. For example, a portion of the first cable 41 is located outside the clothes container 1, and another portion of the first cable 41 passes through the cable hole 11a and extends into the lifting rib 2.

[0077] It is understandable that the first cable 41 located inside the garment cavity 1a can be shielded by the lifting rib 2. That is to say, the first cable 41 located inside the garment cavity 1a can extend into the lifting rib 2.

[0078] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the first cable 41 is hidden within the lifting rib 2, which reduces the risk of clothing contacting and abrading the first cable 41 within the garment cavity 1a, thus solving the problem of difficult wiring of the first cable 41 within the garment drum 1. The lifting rib 2 can be reused to provide shielding and protection for the first cable 41, protecting it from contact with clothing to a certain extent and improving reliability.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1, 3 and 6, the garment handling device 10 includes an electrical component 3, at least a portion of which is disposed within or on the lifting rib 2, and a first cable 41 is electrically connected to the electrical component 3.

[0080] Electrical component 3 may be a structural component capable of performing at least one electrical function and / or used in a circuit to perform at least one electrical function.

[0081] At least a portion of the electrical component 3 is disposed within the lifting rib 2. This can mean that all of the electrical component 3 is located within the lifting rib 2, or that only a portion of the electrical component 3 is located within the lifting rib 2.

[0082] At least a portion of the electrical component 3 is disposed on the lifting rib 2. This means that the entire electrical component 3 may be located on the lifting rib 2, or a portion of the electrical component 3 may be located on the lifting rib 2.

[0083] The number of electrical components 3 can be one, two, three or more.

[0084] In this embodiment, at least a portion of at least one electrical component 3 is disposed within the lifting rib 2, which provides an installation position and protection for the at least one electrical component 3. A first cable 41 is electrically connected to the electrical component 3, and the first cable 41 can provide the electrical component 3 with the function of transmitting electrical energy and / or electrical signals.

[0085] In some embodiments, electrical component 3 includes at least one of a control board and a wireless receiving circuit board.

[0086] For example, the control board may be located inside the lifting rib 2; or the wireless receiving circuit board may be located inside the lifting rib 2; or both the control board and the wireless receiving circuit board may be located inside the lifting rib 2.

[0087] The control board can be used to implement input functions such as signal acquisition and processing, as well as output functions such as issuing control commands to control the operation of actuators. For example, the control board can control the power supply. The control board can turn on or off the power transmission of the wireless power receiving module 5. The control board can also be used to implement other control functions.

[0088] The wireless receiver circuit board may include at least one of a modulation / demodulation circuit and a power output circuit. The modulation / demodulation circuit performs signal conversion. The power output circuit performs electrical energy output.

[0089] In this embodiment, at least one of the control board and the wireless receiving circuit board is disposed within the lifting rib 2 to protect the control board and / or the wireless receiving circuit board from contact with clothing and reduce the risk of damage.

[0090] In some embodiments, the control board may include an MCU, or Microcontroller Unit.

[0091] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1, 3, and 6, the garment handling device 10 includes a wireless power receiving module 5, which is disposed on and located outside the garment holding tube 1. A first cable 41 connects the wireless power receiving module 5 and at least one electrical component 3. That is, a portion of the first cable 41 is located outside the garment holding tube 1, and another portion of the first cable 41 is located inside the garment holding cavity 1a, for example, inside the lifting rib 2.

[0092] The wireless power receiving module 5 receives electrical energy wirelessly. The first cable 41 connects the wireless power receiving module 5 and at least one electrical component 3. The first cable 41 can transmit the electrical energy of the wireless power receiving module 5 to the electrical component 3. In other words, the wireless power receiving module 5 can provide electrical energy to the electrical component 3.

[0093] In this embodiment, the wireless power receiving module 5 is located outside the clothes-holding tube 1 to prevent the load such as clothes inside the clothes-holding cavity 1a from contacting the wireless power receiving module 5, thus improving safety. The wireless power receiving module 5 receives electrical energy wirelessly, so it does not need to be connected to an external power source by a conductive wire, avoiding interference with the conductive wire during the rotation of the clothes-holding tube 1. The wireless power receiving module 5, electrical components 3, and the first cable 41 all move synchronously with the clothes-holding tube 1, and the rotation of the clothes-holding tube 1 will not cause problems such as the first cable 41 becoming tangled.

[0094] In some embodiments, the wireless receiving circuit board may be disposed on the first cable 41 between the control board and the wireless power receiving module 5. That is, the first cable 41 may be divided into two segments, one segment connecting the wireless power receiving module 5 and the wireless receiving circuit board, and the other segment connecting the wireless receiving circuit board and the control board. The wireless receiving circuit board can process the electrical signals from the wireless power receiving module 5 and then transmit them to the control board. For example, if the voltage of the control board is low, the wireless receiving circuit board can reduce the voltage from the wireless power receiving module 5 to 12V or 5V before transmitting it to the control board.

[0095] It should be noted that the unit "V" stands for volt.

[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3, the wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed at the rear part of the clothes container 1 along the front-back direction, and the wire hole 11a is formed on the side wall or end wall of the rear part of the clothes container 1.

[0097] The rear part of the clothes container 1 refers to the part of the clothes container 1 that extends in the front-back direction and coincides with the axis of rotation. The rear part of the clothes container 1 is the part away from the clothes feeding port, with the midpoint of ...

[0098] The term "thread hole 11a is formed on the side wall of the rear part of the clothes container 1" means that the thread hole 11a is formed on the wall surface surrounding the center line at the rear part of the clothes container 1.

[0099] The term "the wire hole 11a is formed on the end wall of the rear part of the clothes container 1" means that the wire hole 11a is formed on the rear wall surface of the rear part of the clothes container 1 facing the rear.

[0100] For example, the wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed outside the rear end wall 11 of the clothes container 1, and the wire passage hole 11a is formed in the rear end wall 11 of the clothes container 1. The wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed on the rear side of the clothes container 1, and the wireless power receiving module 5 and the wire passage hole 11a are relatively close to each other.

[0101] For example, the wireless power receiving module 5 is located in the central region of the rear wall 11 of the clothes container 1.

[0102] In this embodiment, both the wireless power receiving module 5 and the wire passage hole 11a are located at the rear of the clothes tub 1. For example, the wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed on the outer surface of the clothes tub 1 facing the rear. The wireless power receiving module 5 and the wire passage hole 11a are relatively close to each other. One end of the first cable 41 is connected to the wireless power receiving module 5, and the other end of the first cable 41 passes through the wire passage hole 11a and enters the lifting rib 2, which can reduce the situation of the first cable 41 winding.

[0103] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3. The garment processing device 10 includes a wireless power transmitting module 7 and a wireless power receiving module 5 for receiving electromagnetic signals emitted by the wireless power transmitting module 7 and generating induced current.

[0104] The wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 transmit electrical energy without contact. In other words, the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 transmit electrical energy wirelessly, and the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 can transmit electrical energy without the need for a conductive wire connection.

[0105] In this embodiment, the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 can transmit electrical energy without contact, realizing the transmission of electrical energy between the relatively rotating garment drum 1 and components other than the relatively stationary garment drum 1. This power transmission can be achieved without wire connections, resulting in high reliability. The wireless power receiving module 5 can supply the received electrical energy to the electrical components 3 within the lifting rib 2, meeting the power requirements of the electrical components 3 and improving the overall performance of the garment processing equipment 10.

[0106] Understandably, in some examples, the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 can transmit signals in addition to transmitting electrical energy. That is, the information about the clothing detected by the electrical components can be transmitted to the wireless power receiving module 5, which then transmits the information to the wireless power transmitting module 7.

[0107] Of course, in other embodiments, the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 may only transmit electrical energy. The clothing processing device 10 may be equipped with a wireless transmission unit. The wireless power receiving module 5 can provide electrical energy to the wireless transmission unit, and the wireless transmission unit can receive clothing information detected by electrical components and transmit it wirelessly.

[0108] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 10 includes a housing, a garment container 1 rotatably disposed within the housing, and a wireless power transmission module 7 disposed within the housing.

[0109] The housing is the exterior component of the clothing processing equipment 10, and it can protect the structural components such as the clothes holding tube 1 inside the housing.

[0110] In this embodiment, the box remains stationary. While the clothes drum 1 is rotating, the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 can still provide high-power electrical energy to the electrical components 3 to meet the power demand.

[0111] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 6, the lifting rib 2 protrudes from the inner surface of the garment-holding tube 1. That is, the lifting rib 2 protrudes from the surface of the garment-holding cavity 1a.

[0112] In some embodiments, the lifting rib 2 protrudes from the inner surface of the clothes-holding tube 1, and the lifting rib 2 has a structure that is broken along the axial direction of the clothes-holding tube 1. That is, the lifting rib 2 has a multi-segmented structure along the axial direction of the clothes-holding tube 1.

[0113] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 6, the lifting rib 2 has a structure that extends continuously along the axial direction of the clothes-holding tube 1. That is, the lifting rib 2 is not interrupted in the axial direction of the clothes-holding tube 1.

[0114] It is understandable that there can be one lifting rib 2. There can also be multiple lifting ribs 2, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the clothes-holding tube 1.

[0115] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 6. The lifting rib 2 includes a main body 22 and an extension 21. The main body 22 is disposed on the circumferential surface of the garment cavity 1a. The extension 21 is connected to the rear end of the main body 22 and disposed on the rear surface of the garment cavity 1a. The wire hole 11a is formed on the rear end wall 11 of the garment cylinder 1. The extension 21 covers the wire hole 11a.

[0116] For example, with a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction as the projection plane, the projection of the wire hole 11a can be located within the projection range of the extension 21.

[0117] In this embodiment, without increasing the radial dimension of the lifting rib 2 as a whole, the extension 21 disposed on the rear surface of the garment cavity 1a can increase the volume inside the lifting rib 2, thereby accommodating the first cable 41, electrical components 3 and other structures. The extension 21 can also cover the wire hole 11a, thus shielding the wire hole 11a.

[0118] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 5, the rearward-facing surface of the extension 21 is fitted to the rear surface of the garment cavity 1a. This reduces the gap between the extension 21 and the rear surface of the garment cavity 1a, decreasing the risk of lint and debris from the garment cavity 1a entering the lifting rib 2 through the gap.

[0119] In related technologies, the internal space of the lifting rib has many reinforcing ribs and a complex internal structure. For example, multiple reinforcing ribs isolate the internal space of the lifting rib into multiple chambers distributed along the length of the lifting rib. The volume of each chamber is very small and it is difficult to place electrical components or other structural parts.

[0120] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1, 3, 5 and 6, a connecting channel 2a extending along the length direction is formed in the lifting rib 2, and a portion of the first cable 41 is located in the connecting channel 2a.

[0121] Specifically, the connecting channel 2a extends along the length direction of the lifting rib 2, that is, the length direction of the connecting channel 2a is consistent with the length direction of the lifting rib 2. The connecting channel 2a is uninterrupted along the length direction of the lifting rib 2, and the connecting channel 2a can be a channel that runs through the entire length direction.

[0122] In this embodiment, a connecting channel 2a extending along the length direction is formed within the lifting rib 2. Thus, the dimension of the connecting channel 2a along the length direction can be relatively large to facilitate the placement of electrical components 3 or other structural parts. The connecting channel 2a can provide an installation position for electrical components 3 or other structural parts. Electrical components 3 or other structural parts located within the connecting channel 2a can move with the clothes tub 1. The lifting rib 2 can improve the ease of assembly of electrical components 3.

[0123] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 2 and 6, at least a portion of at least one electrical component 3 is disposed within the communication channel 2a.

[0124] At least a portion of the electrical component 3 is disposed within the connecting channel 2a. This can mean that all of the electrical component 3 is located within the connecting channel 2a, or that only a portion of the electrical component 3 is located within the connecting channel 2a.

[0125] In this embodiment, at least a portion of at least one electrical component 3 is disposed within the communication channel 2a to provide an installation location for at least one electrical component 3.

[0126] In one embodiment, the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1 can be horizontal, that is, the clothes processing device 10 can be a drum-type clothes processing device.

[0127] Taking the rotation axis of the clothes container 1 as being horizontal as an example, the front side of the clothes container 1 has a clothes loading and unloading port, and the user puts or takes out the clothes container 1a from the front. During the rotation of the clothes container 1, the clothes are moved from the bottom to the top; under the action of gravity, the clothes fall from the top to the bottom. In this way, the clothes are dispersed, shaken and changed in shape under the combined action of the clothes container 1 and gravity.

[0128] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2, the clothes container 1 is generally hollow cylindrical.

[0129] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 11, the clothes container 1 can be a single-tube structure. That is, the clothing processing device 10 has only one tube, the clothes container 1.

[0130] In one embodiment, an outer tub may be fitted over the clothes container 1. That is, the clothes handling device 10 has two tubs.

[0131] This application describes an embodiment of the garment processing equipment 10 using a single-tube structure as an example.

[0132] The clothes container 1 can be made of metal, such as stainless steel.

[0133] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 3 and 6, the control board is located within the connecting channel 2a. The wireless power receiving module 5, the control board, and the first cable 41 all move synchronously with the clothes container 1, and the rotation of the clothes container 1 will not cause problems such as tangling of the first cable 41. The first cable 41 transmits the electrical energy of the wireless power receiving module 5 to the control board, ensuring high reliability.

[0134] For example, the wireless power transmitting module 7 includes a transmitting coil, and the wireless power receiving module 5 includes a receiving coil 51. Energy can be transferred between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil via a magnetic field. For instance, the transmitting coil can generate a changing magnetic field, and the receiving coil can generate a current through electromagnetic induction, thereby achieving energy transfer.

[0135] In this embodiment, even when the clothes container 1 is rotating, the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 can still provide high-power electrical energy to electrical devices such as the conductivity detection device 6 to meet their power needs.

[0136] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 3, the wireless power transmission module 7 can be disposed on the rear panel 8 of the enclosure.

[0137] In some embodiments, the wireless power transmitting module 7 may be located on the front side of the rear panel 8 of the enclosure. Exemplarily, the wireless power transmitting module 7 may be disposed on the rear panel 8 of the enclosure corresponding to the central area of ​​the clothes drawer 1, and the wireless power transmitting module 7 may be aligned with the wireless power receiving module 5. Using a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction as the projection plane, the projections of the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 at least partially overlap.

[0138] For example, the wireless power receiving module 5 includes a housing that is annular in shape, and a receiving coil is housed within the housing. The housing can be used to protect the receiving coil.

[0139] In some embodiments, the control board may be located within the communication channel 2a. In some embodiments, the wireless receiving circuit board may be located within the communication channel 2a. In some embodiments, both the control board and the wireless receiving circuit board may be located within the communication channel 2a.

[0140] In this embodiment, at least one of the control board and the wireless receiving circuit board is disposed within the communication channel 2a to protect the control board and / or the wireless receiving circuit board from contact with clothing and reduce the risk of damage.

[0141] In related technologies, sensors are used to determine the dryness of clothes. The sensors are set at the air outlet of the clothes drum. Taking a dryer as an example, the sensor is set at the front support of the clothes handling device 10. The front support is located on the front side of the clothes drum. The distance between the sensor and the load such as clothes in the clothes drum is relatively far, which can easily lead to inaccurate judgment.

[0142] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 and 4, the garment processing device 10 includes a conductivity detection device 6, at least a portion of which is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2.

[0143] The conductivity detection device 6 can detect the conductivity of the load, such as clothes, inside the garment chamber 1a. The garment processing equipment 10 can determine the degree of drying based on the conductivity detected by the conductivity detection device 6. As an example, the principle of the conductivity detection device 6 is as follows: the load inside the garment chamber 1a contacts the two electrodes of the conductivity detection device 6, making the conductivity detection circuit conductive. The resistance value of the load with different moisture levels is different. That is to say, the moisture level of the load is related to the conductivity, and the degree of drying is determined based on the conductivity.

[0144] In this embodiment, the conductivity detection device 6 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2. The conductivity detection device 6 can come into contact with the load such as clothes in the clothes-holding cavity 1a, thereby sensing the degree of drying of the clothes at close range and effectively improving the accuracy of judging the degree of drying of the clothes in the clothes-holding drum 1.

[0145] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 4, at least a portion of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on one outer side of the lifting rib 2 along the circumferential direction.

[0146] For example, the entire conductivity detection device 6 is located on one outer side of the lifting rib 2 along the circumferential direction. Alternatively, a portion of the conductivity detection device 6 may be located on one outer side of the lifting rib 2 along the circumferential direction, while another portion may be located on the top side of the lifting rib 2, radially away from the peripheral sidewall 12 of the clothes-holding tube 1.

[0147] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the clothes-holding tube 1, when the clothes and the lifting rib 2 move relative to each other, the clothes are prone to rubbing against the top side of the lifting rib 2. Also, due to the limited diameter of the clothes-holding cavity 1a, the size of the lifting rib 2 is limited, the area of ​​the top side of the lifting rib 2 is small, and the area of ​​the outer side of the lifting rib 2 along the circumference is relatively large, which facilitates the installation of the conductivity detection device 6. At least part of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on the outer side of the lifting rib 2 along the circumference. The size of the conductivity detection device 6 can be large in order to improve the detection accuracy and reduce the wear between the clothes and the conductivity detection device 6.

[0148] In related technologies, sensors typically consist of two metal strips. A wet load contacts these two strips to establish a circuit, thus determining the degree of drying of the clothing. The two metal strips can be considered as having only a single resistor, resulting in low conductivity detection sensitivity. This can lead to problems in determining dryness in certain scenarios. For example, with a load of coral fleece, the fleece may not be completely dried; similarly, with a mixed load of cotton, linen, and synthetic fibers, the different conductivity values ​​of these fibers during drying can lead to over-drying of the cotton and linen.

[0149] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4 to 10, the conductivity detection device 6 includes a first electrode 61 and a second electrode 62, both located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2. The first electrode 61 includes a first connecting portion 611 and at least two first teeth 612 connected to the first connecting portion 611. The second electrode 62 includes a second connecting portion 621 and at least two second teeth 622 connected to the second connecting portion 621. The first teeth 612 and the second teeth 622 are arranged alternately. That is, there is one second tooth 622 between any two adjacent first teeth 612, and the distance between the first teeth 612 and the second teeth 622 is greater than zero.

[0150] In this embodiment, the first tooth 612 and the second tooth 622 are arranged alternately to form an interdigitated structure. One first tooth 612 and one second tooth 622 constitute an electrode pair. The conductivity detection device 6 has at least two electrode pairs. When the clothing comes into contact with at least two electrode pairs, the conduction between each electrode pair can be regarded as a resistor. At least two electrode pairs can be regarded as at least two resistors in parallel, thereby making the detection of conductivity changes more sensitive. This improves the accuracy and sensitivity of the conductivity detection device 6, and can avoid problems such as inadequate drying or over-drying to a certain extent, thus improving drying performance.

[0151] The specific structural form of the first tooth 612 is not limited; it can be plate-shaped or columnar, etc. The specific structural form of the second tooth 622 is not limited; it can be plate-shaped or columnar, etc. Among them, the cross-sectional shape of the columnar shape is not limited; it can be circular or polygonal, etc. Polygons include quadrilaterals, pentagons, etc. It can be understood that polygons can include rounded polygons.

[0152] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 8 to 10, the first connecting portion 611 and the second connecting portion 621 both extend linearly in parallel, and all first teeth 612 and all second teeth 622 are located between the first connecting portion 611 and the second connecting portion 621. That is, the first connecting portion 611 and the second connecting portion 621 can both be substantially straight or curved. Exemplarily, the shape of the first tooth 612 is substantially the same as the shape of the second tooth 622, the first tooth 612 is substantially parallel to the second tooth 622, and the first connecting portion 611 and the second connecting portion 621 are both straight and substantially parallel.

[0153] In this embodiment, the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62 have simple and compact structures and neat and beautiful appearances.

[0154] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 8 to 10, the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62 are approximately in the same plane. Thus, both the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62 are generally flat, occupying less space and saving space within the garment cavity 1a.

[0155] Both the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62 are made of conductive materials, for example, both the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62 are made of metal.

[0156] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4, 7, and 10, a portion of the first tooth 612 protrudes away from the lifting rib 2 to form a first protrusion 6121. The first protrusion 6121 not only enhances the structural strength of the first tooth 612 but also facilitates contact with clothing, increasing the contact area with clothing.

[0157] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4, 7, and 10, a portion of the second tooth 622 protrudes away from the lifting rib 2 to form a second protrusion 6221. The second protrusion 6221 not only enhances the structural strength of the second tooth 622 but also facilitates contact with clothing, increasing the contact area with clothing.

[0158] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4, 7, and 10, the surface of the first tooth 612 away from the lifting rib 2 is curved. The surface of the first tooth 612 away from the lifting rib 2 needs to contact the clothing, and the curved surface can, to some extent, prevent the clothing from snagging and reduce mutual wear between the clothing and the first tooth 612.

[0159] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4, 7, and 10, the surface of the second tooth 622 away from the lifting rib 2 is curved. Since the surface of the second tooth 622 away from the lifting rib 2 needs to contact the clothing, the curved surface can, to some extent, prevent snagging on the clothing and reduce mutual wear between the clothing and the second tooth 622.

[0160] In one embodiment, the first protrusion 6121 may be convex arc-shaped. The surface of the first protrusion 6121 away from the lifting rib 2 is arc-shaped.

[0161] In one embodiment, the second protrusion 6221 may be convex arc-shaped. The surface of the second protrusion 6221 away from the lifting rib 2 is arc-shaped.

[0162] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 5 and 8 to 10, the conductivity detection device 6 includes a fixed terminal 63, which is connected to a first connecting portion 611, and the clothes container 1 is connected to the fixed terminal 63. When the fixed terminal 63 is connected to the clothes container 1, and the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62 are conducting, the clothes container 1 can be used as part of the first electrode 61, reducing measurement errors caused by polarization.

[0163] The fixed terminal 63 can be made of a conductive material, such as metal.

[0164] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 5 to 10, the conductivity detection device 6 includes a first terminal 64 and a second terminal 65. The first terminal 64 is connected to the first electrode 61, and the second terminal 65 is connected to the second electrode 62. Both the first terminal 64 and the second terminal 65 extend into the communicating channel 2a and are connected to the control board.

[0165] For example, the first terminal 64 is connected to one of the first teeth 612, and the second terminal 65 is connected to one of the second teeth 622.

[0166] In this embodiment, the first terminal 64 and the second terminal 65 are connected to the control board to form an electrical circuit. The first terminal 64, the second terminal 65, and the control board are all located in the communication channel 2a. By minimizing contact between the first terminal 64, the second terminal 65, and the control board and the load, safety can be improved.

[0167] In some embodiments, the first electrode 61 can be a one-piece molded structure. That is, the first connecting portion 611 and the first tooth 612, etc., can be manufactured as a single piece.

[0168] In some embodiments, the first electrode 61, the first terminal 64, and the fixed terminal 63 can be an integrally formed structure.

[0169] In some embodiments, the second electrode 62 can be a one-piece molded structure. That is, the second connecting portion 621 and the second tooth 622, etc., can be manufactured as a single piece.

[0170] In some embodiments, the second electrode 62 and the second terminal 65 can be an integrally formed structure.

[0171] It is understood that, unless otherwise stated, in the embodiments of this application, the circumferential direction is the direction around the rotation axis of the clothes-holding tube 1, and the radial direction is the direction along the radius of the clothes-holding tube 1. The circumferential sidewall 12 of the clothes-holding tube 1 is the sidewall around the rotation axis of the clothes-holding tube 1. The circumferential surface of the clothes-holding cavity 1a is the circumferential surface of the clothes-holding cavity 1a around the rotation axis.

[0172] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 2, 4, and 5, the connecting channel 2a extends from the main body 22 to the extension 21. For example, the connecting channel 2a can extend uninterruptedly from the main body 22 to the extension 21. The space within the main body 22 and the space within the extension 21 are both connecting channels 2a.

[0173] In this embodiment, without increasing the radial dimension of the lifting rib 2 as a whole, the extension 21 provided on the rear surface of the garment cavity 1a can increase the volume of the connecting channel 2a, thereby accommodating structures such as the cable 4 and the control board; the extension 21 can cover part of the rear surface of the garment cavity 1a, so as to cover the cable hole 11a and other structures of the rear end wall 11 of the garment cylinder 1.

[0174] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4 to 7 and Figure 10, at least a portion of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on one side of the main body 22 along the circumferential direction. The area of ​​the side of the main body 22 along the circumferential direction is relatively large, which facilitates the placement of the conductivity detection device 6. Since at least a portion of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on the side of the main body 22 along the circumferential direction, the size of the conductivity detection device 6 can be large, and the number and density of the first tooth 612 and the second tooth 622 can be increased to improve detection accuracy and reduce wear between clothing and the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62.

[0175] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 5 to 7, the extension 21 has a rearward opening, and the rear surface of the garment cavity 1a can cover the rearward opening of the extension 21.

[0176] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 2, and 4, the extension 21 can extend toward the rotation axis of the clothes-holding tube 1, and the apex of the extension 21 protrudes beyond the apex of the main body 22 in the radial direction of the clothes-holding tube 1. That is, the outer contours of both the main body 22 and the extension 21 are approximately L-shaped.

[0177] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 4 to 7, the main body 22 includes two side plates 221, a top plate 222, and an end plate 223. The two side plates 221 are spaced apart circumferentially, and their bottom ends are connected to the peripheral sidewall 12 of the clothes-holding tube 1. The top plate 222 is connected to the top ends of the two side plates 221, and the end plate 223 is connected to the front ends of the two side plates 221. The internal space defined by the top plate 222, end plate 223, and two side plates 221 constitutes part of the communicating channel 2a. The first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62 are both located on the outer surface of the side plate 221, and are approximately in the same plane to facilitate contact with the side plate 221.

[0178] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 5 to 7, the distance between the top ends of the two side plates 221 is less than the distance between the bottom ends of the two side plates 221. That is, with the plane perpendicular to the front-back direction as the projection plane, the projected outline of the main body 22 is roughly trapezoidal.

[0179] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the clothes container 1 includes a body 101 and a rear end cover 102. The front side of the body 101 has a clothes loading / unloading opening, and the rear end cover 102 closes the rear end opening of the body 101. A wire hole 11a may be formed in the rear end cover 102, and a wireless power receiving module 5 may be disposed on the rear side of the rear end cover 102.

[0180] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 6, the lifting rib 2 includes a partition plate 201 located within the connecting channel 2a. The partition plate 201 divides the connecting channel 2a into a first sub-slot 2aa and a second sub-slot 2ab. The first sub-slot 2aa is located on the side of the second sub-slot 2ab that is radially away from the peripheral sidewall 12 of the clothes-holding tube 1. Exemplarily, the first sub-slot 2aa may be a through slot extending along the length direction. At least one electrical component 3 is located within the first sub-slot 2aa. That is, the first sub-slot 2aa is located on the side of the second sub-slot 2ab closer to the rotation axis of the clothes-holding tube 1.

[0181] In this embodiment, the partition plate 201 divides the connecting channel 2a into a first sub-slot 2aa and a second sub-slot 2ab distributed radially, instead of multiple sub-slots distributed in the front-back direction. The first sub-slot 2aa can extend from the front end of the lifting rib 2 to the rear end of the lifting rib 2, so that the first sub-slot 2aa can accommodate long electrical components 3 or other structural parts.

[0182] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 6, the lifting rib 2 includes a fixing part 202, which is located within the second sub-groove 2ab and connected to the partition plate 201. Fasteners pass through the fixing part 202 and the peripheral sidewall 12 of the clothes-holding tube 1. The fasteners passing through the fixing part 202 and the peripheral sidewall 12 of the clothes-holding tube 1, and the fixing part 202 being located in the second sub-groove 2ab, can prevent the fasteners and the fixing part 202 from interfering with the layout of the electrical components 3.

[0183] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 2, 5, and 6, the partition plate 201 can be generally parallel to the rotation axis of the clothes container 1, thereby dividing the connecting channel 2a into a first sub-slot 2aa and a second sub-slot 2ab distributed radially along the clothes container 1. The partition plate 201 can connect to the circumferential wall surface of the connecting channel 2a.

[0184] Compared to related technologies where the internal space within the lifting rib is divided into multiple sub-slots distributed along the front-to-back direction, in this embodiment, the volume of the first sub-slot 2aa can be larger to facilitate the placement of electrical components 3 and other structural parts. The volume of the second sub-slot 2ab can also be larger to facilitate the placement of fasteners and fixing parts 202. The second sub-slot 2ab is close to the peripheral sidewall 12 of the clothes-holding tube 1, reducing assembly difficulty.

[0185] Fasteners include, but are not limited to, screws or bolts.

[0186] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the lifting rib 2 includes a reinforcing rib 203 located in the second sub-groove 2ab, the reinforcing rib 203 connecting the partition plate 201 and the groove wall of the second sub-groove 2ab. The reinforcing rib 203 is used to further increase the structural strength of the lifting rib 2.

[0187] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5, there can be multiple partition plates 201, which are spaced apart along the front-to-back direction. This effectively increases the structural strength of the lifting ribs 2 at multiple locations along the front-to-back direction, and also facilitates the insertion or removal of electrical components 3 and other structural parts located in the first sub-slot 2aa.

[0188] In one embodiment, the lifting rib 2 can make sealed contact with the surface of the garment holding cavity 1a. For example, the extension 21 makes sealed contact with the surface of the garment holding cavity 1a, and the main body 22 makes sealed contact with the surface of the garment holding cavity 1a. Specifically, both side plates 221 and one end plate 223 make sealed contact with the circumferential surface of the garment holding cavity 1a. With this design, the connecting channel 2a is essentially a sealed chamber. In the case that the garment handling equipment 10 is a washer-dryer combo, the probability of water or other liquids entering the connecting channel 2a is reduced, thereby preventing electrical components such as the first terminal 64, the second terminal 65, the first cable 41, and the control board within the connecting channel 2a from being affected.

[0189] In some embodiments, the first cable 41 can be sealed through the cable passage hole 11a. That is, the gap between the first cable 41 and the wall of the cable passage hole 11a can be sealed. For example, a sealing ring or other sealing structure can be used to seal the gap between the first cable 41 and the wall of the cable passage hole 11a. Thus, in the case where the garment handling device 10 is a washer-dryer combo, water or air leakage through the gap between the first cable 41 and the wall of the cable passage hole 11a can be prevented.

[0190] In one embodiment, the garment handling device 10 includes a circulating air duct. The rear end wall 11 of the garment container 1 has at least one air inlet communicating with the garment cavity 1a. The circulating air duct connects the air inlet and the air outlet of the garment cavity 1a. For example, the rear end cover 102 has an air inlet. The circulating air duct provides a circulating airflow that repeatedly flows through the garment cavity 1a. The airflow in the circulating air duct can enter the garment cavity 1a through the air inlet, and the airflow in the garment cavity 1a can enter the circulating air duct through the air outlet. The airflow can circulate between the circulating air duct and the garment cavity 1a.

[0191] Understandably, the number of air inlets can be one or more, such as two, three, four, or five, etc.

[0192] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 20 and 21, the garment handling device 10 includes a fan hood 17 and a base 16. The base 16 is located inside the housing and below the garment drum 1. The rear side wall of the housing forms a return air inlet and a supply air inlet connected to the air inlet. The height of the return air inlet is lower than the height of the supply air inlet. The base 16 forms a heat exchange channel, with its two ends connected to the air outlet and the return air inlet, respectively. The fan hood 17 covers the air outlet and the return air inlet, and together with the rear side wall of the housing, defines the supply air channel. The heat exchange channel and the supply air channel together constitute a circulating air duct. The heat exchange channel is located upstream of the supply air channel along the airflow direction within the circulating air duct, and the airflow sequentially flows through the air outlet, the heat exchange channel, the return air inlet, the supply air channel, the supply air inlet, and the air inlet.

[0193] There is no limit to the number of air outlets; there can be one or more air outlets, for example, two, three, four, or five air outlets, etc.

[0194] In one embodiment, the garment processing device 10 includes a heat exchange component located within a heat exchange channel. The heat exchange component is used to exchange heat with the airflow within the heat exchange channel, thereby dehumidifying and heating. The humid and hot airflow in the garment holding chamber 1a can enter the heat exchange channel through the air outlet, and after exchanging heat and mass with the heat exchange component, it is converted into dry and hot airflow. The dry and hot airflow enters the air supply channel through the return air inlet, and then flows back into the garment holding chamber 1a through the air supply inlet and the air inlet.

[0195] In some embodiments, the heat exchange components include a condenser and an evaporator. The clothing handling device 10 also includes a compressor and a throttling device. The compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator are connected by pipes to form a heat pump system, and the refrigerant can circulate within the heat pump system. The airflow in the circulating duct exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator and condenser to form a dry and hot airflow. The evaporator is used to cool and dehumidify the humid and hot airflow from the clothing chamber 1a into a dry and cold airflow; the condenser heats the dry and cold airflow into a dry and hot airflow and returns it to the clothing chamber 1a.

[0196] The working principle of a heat pump system is as follows: The compressor draws in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and compresses it into high-pressure airflow before discharging it. The discharged high-pressure refrigerant enters the condenser, where it transfers heat to the airflow, causing it to condense into a high-pressure liquid. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant then flows through a throttling device to reduce pressure, becoming a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture that enters the evaporator. The refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the airflow, becoming a low-pressure gas. This low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is then drawn back into the compressor, and the cycle repeats, achieving heat exchange. In other words, the evaporator cools and dehumidifies the hot, humid airflow from the clothes-holding chamber 1a, forming a dry, cool airflow. The condenser heats the dry, cool airflow into a hot, dry airflow, which then flows back into the clothes-holding chamber 1a. The hot, dry airflow returning to the clothes-holding chamber 1a comes into contact with the damp clothes, forming a hot, humid airflow again, completing one drying cycle. By repeatedly running the drying cycle, circulating airflow is continuously supplied to the clothes-holding chamber 1a to dry the clothes.

[0197] For example, both the evaporator and the condenser can be finned tube heat exchangers.

[0198] For example, throttling devices include, but are not limited to, electronic expansion valves, etc.

[0199] In one embodiment, the clothing processing device 10 includes a fan wheel for driving airflow. Exemplarily, the fan wheel is located within a heat exchange channel and between the heat exchange components and the return air vent. During the drying process, the fan wheel drives the airflow passing through the clothing sequentially through the evaporator and condenser before blowing it onto the clothing to form a circulating airflow. The fan wheel can accelerate airflow and improve drying efficiency.

[0200] Please refer to Figures 11 to 17. The garment handling device 10 includes a housing and a wireless power supply component.

[0201] Please refer to Figures 11 to 17. The wireless power supply component includes a bracket 20 and a cable 4. The cable 4 includes the first cable 41 in the aforementioned embodiment. The bracket 20 is disposed on at least one of the clothes container 1 and the box. The bracket 20 is used to support at least a portion of the cable 4. At least one bracket 20 has a cable routing opening 20a for the cable 4 to pass through.

[0202] The bracket 20 being provided in at least one of the clothes container 1 and the box means that only the clothes container 1 may be provided with the bracket 20; only the box may be provided with the bracket 20; or both the clothes container 1 and the box may be provided with the bracket 20.

[0203] The bracket 20 is used to support at least a portion of the cable 4, meaning that at least a portion of the cable 4 is located on the bracket 20, and the bracket 20 can provide support for the cable 4 located thereon.

[0204] At least one bracket 20 has a cable routing port 20a formed on it. For example, one bracket 20 may have a cable routing port 20a formed on it, or multiple brackets 20 may have a cable routing port 20a formed on them.

[0205] The wireless power supply component is a structure that provides electrical power to the electrical components of the garment handling device 10 wirelessly.

[0206] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 to 17, at least one of the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 is electrically connected to the cable 4.

[0207] At least one of the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 is electrically connected to the cable 4, which means, for example, that only the wireless power transmitting module 7 is electrically connected to the cable 4, or that only the wireless power receiving module 5 is electrically connected to the cable 4, or that both the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 are electrically connected to the cable 4.

[0208] Thus, cable 4 transmits electrical energy and / or signals. For example, if wireless power transmitting module 7 is electrically connected to cable 4, then wireless power transmitting module 7 can receive electrical energy and / or signals through cable 4; or, for example, if wireless power receiving module 5 is electrically connected to cable 4, then wireless power receiving module 5 can transmit electrical energy and / or signals to electrical components through cable 4.

[0209] Taking the bracket 20, which includes a first bracket 72 and a second bracket 52, as an example, at least a portion of the wireless power transmitting module 7 is disposed on the first bracket 72, which is a component outside the clothes container 1. The second bracket 52 is disposed on the clothes container 1, and at least a portion of the wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed on the second bracket 52. At least one of the first bracket 72 and the second bracket 52 forms a cable routing port 20a. At least one of the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 is provided with a cable 4.

[0210] The wireless power transmission module 7 being disposed at least partially on the first support 72 means that a portion of the structure of the wireless power transmission module 7 is disposed on the first support 72; or, the entire structure of the wireless power transmission module 7 is disposed on the first support 72.

[0211] The wireless power receiving module 5 being at least partially disposed on the second bracket 52 means that a portion of the structure of the wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed on the second bracket 52; or, the entire structure of the wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed on the second bracket 52.

[0212] At least one of the first bracket 72 and the second bracket 52 has a cable routing port 20a. For example, the first bracket 72 has a cable routing port 20a, while the second bracket 52 does not have a cable routing port 20a; or the first bracket 72 does not have a cable routing port 20a, while the second bracket 52 has a cable routing port 20a; or both the first bracket 72 and the second bracket 52 have cable routing ports 20a.

[0213] At least one of the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 is provided with a cable 4. The number of cables 4 may be the same as or different from the number of wireless power transmitting module 7 and wireless power receiving module 5. For example, one of the wireless power transmitting module 7 and wireless power receiving module 5 is provided with a cable 4, or both of the wireless power transmitting module 7 and wireless power receiving module 5 are provided with cables 4. The cable 4 can improve the stability and anti-interference capability of power and / or signal transmission.

[0214] It should be noted that the components other than the clothes container 1 refer to components that are independent of the clothes container 1 and are located outside the clothes container 1. When the clothes container 1 rotates, the wireless power transmission module 7 remains stationary relative to the clothes container 1. For example, it can be a box, a base 16 located below the box, etc., and there are no restrictions here.

[0215] For example, the first support 72 is a component located outside the clothes container 1, such as the first support 72 being located in the box or the base 16, etc.

[0216] For example, the wireless power transmitting module 7 can be electrically connected to the main control board of the garment processing device 10. The main control board is used to control the operation of the garment processing device 10 and supply power to various parts within the garment processing device 10, enabling the circuits of each part to work normally and realize functions such as drying control. For example, the wireless power transmitting module 7 is electrically connected to the main control board via a cable to receive the power supplied by the main control board, thereby enabling it to transmit electromagnetic signals to the wireless power receiving module 5.

[0217] Electrical components can also be units for detecting the condition of clothing, as well as other units that can have specific functions to improve drying performance. For example, a unit for detecting the condition of clothing can be used to detect the temperature, conductivity, etc. of the clothing.

[0218] For example, at least a portion of the wireless power receiving module 5 is mounted on the garment container 1 via the second bracket 52. Electrical components, such as units for detecting the state of clothing, can be installed inside the garment container 1 and electrically connected to the wireless power receiving module 5 to obtain electrical energy. When the garment container 1 rotates, the wireless power receiving module 5 and the electrical components rotate synchronously. The electrical connection between the wireless power receiving module 5 and the electrical components is relatively stable, and the wireless power receiving module 5 can also receive electrical energy transmitted from the wireless power transmitting module 7 during rotation. In this way, the electrical components installed inside the garment container 1 can sense the state of clothing and perform specific functions at close range, thereby improving the working performance of the garment processing equipment 10. For example, this can improve the judgment performance of the garment processing equipment 10.

[0219] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the wireless power supply component can transmit power without the need for wires, resulting in high reliability. Furthermore, the electrical components of the garment processing device 10 can be housed within the garment drum 1, and powered by the wireless power supply component. This facilitates meeting the power requirements of the electrical components and allows for close-range sensing of the garment's condition, improving the overall performance of the garment processing device 10. On the other hand, at least one bracket 20 has a cable routing port 20a through which a cable 4 is threaded, allowing for electrical connection between the power-conducting components in the wireless power supply component and the cable 4. This reduces cable tangling and other issues during cable arrangement, lowering the difficulty of wiring.

[0220] The form of the trace opening 20a is not limited. The trace opening 20a can be a gap formed by the absence of part of the solid structure. The trace opening 20a can also be a through hole formed in the solid structure.

[0221] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 11 to 17, the wireless power supply component includes a wireless power transmission module 7 having a transmitting coil 71, the bracket 20 includes a first bracket 72, the cable 4 includes a second cable 42, the wiring port 20a includes a first wiring port 20aa formed in the first bracket 72, and the second cable 42 passes through the first wiring port 20aa to connect to the transmitting coil 71.

[0222] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 71 is electrically connected to the second cable 42, which can improve the stability and anti-interference capability of power and / or signal transmission so that power and / or signals can be stably transmitted to the transmitting coil 71.

[0223] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 11 to 14. The wireless power transmission module 7 includes a transmission circuit board 73, a transmission coil 71 and the transmission circuit board 73 located on opposite sides of a first bracket 72, and a second cable 42 passing through a first wiring port 20aa to connect the transmission coil 71 and the transmission circuit board 73.

[0224] For example, the transmitting circuit board 73 includes a modem circuit and a power supply circuit. The modem circuit can convert signals, and the power supply circuit can transmit electrical energy to the wireless power receiving module 5. The wireless power transmitting module 7 can be electrically connected to the main control board through the transmitting circuit board 73.

[0225] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 71 and the transmitting circuit board 73 are electrically connected through the second cable 42. Since the transmitting coil 71 and the transmitting circuit board 73 are located on opposite sides of the first bracket 72, the first wiring port 20aa improves the wiring convenience of the second cable 42. The second cable 42 can pass directly through the first wiring port 20aa without needing to be wound around the outer periphery of the first bracket 72, reducing the probability of the second cable 42 being wound and reducing the wiring difficulty.

[0226] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 11 to 14. The housing includes a back panel 8, a transmitting circuit board 73 disposed on the side of the back panel 8 away from the clothes container 1, a first bracket 72 disposed on the side of the back panel 8 close to the clothes container 1, and a transmitting coil 71 disposed on the side of the first bracket 72 close to the clothes container 1.

[0227] It should be noted that the back panel 8 refers to the component located on the rear side of the garment processing device 10 in the front-to-back direction. The rear side is the side of the garment processing device 1 that is furthest from the user after installation.

[0228] The first bracket 72 is located on the side of the back panel 8 near the clothes container 1, that is, the first bracket 72 is located on the front side of the back panel 8.

[0229] The transmitting coil 71 is located on the side of the first bracket 72 near the clothes container 1, that is, the transmitting coil 71 is located on the front side of the first bracket 72.

[0230] The transmitting circuit board 73 is located on the side of the back panel 8 away from the clothes drawer 1. The back panel 8 provides some protection for the transmitting circuit board 73, reducing the impact of airflow on it and decreasing the likelihood of lint and other impurities carried by the airflow adhering to it, thus increasing the installation safety of the transmitting circuit board 73. It also facilitates wired connection between the transmitting circuit board 73 and the main control board.

[0231] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 71 is disposed on the side of the first bracket 72 near the clothes container 1, and the distance between the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 is relatively close to facilitate energy transmission. The transmitting circuit board 73 and the first bracket 72 are respectively located on opposite sides of the back panel 8, and the transmitting coil 71 is located on the side of the first bracket 72 away from the transmitting circuit board 73, and the distance between the transmitting coil 71 and the transmitting circuit board 73 is relatively far. The first wiring port 20aa of the first bracket 72 facilitates the threading of the second cable 42, reducing the possibility of the second cable 42 becoming longer due to winding.

[0232] In some embodiments, the transmitting circuit board 73 can be connected to the backplate 8 by means of screw connection, welding or other connection methods, which increases the installation stability of the transmitting circuit board 73.

[0233] In some embodiments, the second cable 42 may pass through the air vent of the rear panel 8 and then connect to the transmitter circuit board 73 located on the rear side of the rear panel 8.

[0234] In some embodiments, the transmitting circuit board 73 may also be disposed on the first bracket 72. A second cable 42 may not be provided between the transmitting circuit board 73 and the transmitting coil 71.

[0235] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 11, 15 to 17, the receiving coil 51 is disposed on the side of the rear end cover 102 away from the cylinder body 101.

[0236] For example, the receiving coil 51 is used to receive the electromagnetic signal emitted by the transmitting coil 71 and generate an induced current. Specifically, the transmitting coil 71 generates a changing magnetic field, the receiving coil 51 generates an induced current through electromagnetic induction, receives the electrical energy transmission from the transmitting coil 71, and outputs electrical energy.

[0237] Specifically, the front of the tube 101 is open to form a clothing inlet, and the rear end cooperates with the rear end cover 102. The tube 101 and the rear end cover 102 together define the clothing chamber 1a. Exemplarily, the rear end of the tube 101 can be detachably connected to the rear end cover 102.

[0238] It is understandable that the side of the rear end cover 102 away from the cylinder body 101 is sealed to the back plate 8, and the rear end cover 102 can rotate relative to the back plate 8 to form a dynamic sealing connection.

[0239] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 can transmit electrical energy without contact, realizing the transmission of electrical energy between the relatively rotating clothes drum 1 and the relatively stationary box, such as the back panel 8. This achieves high reliability as electrical energy transmission can be achieved without wire connections. The receiving coil 51 is located on the side of the rear cover 102 away from the drum body 101, which reduces the probability of clothing inside the clothes cavity 1a coming into contact with the receiving coil 51.

[0240] It should be noted that the second cable 42 refers to cable 4 electrically connected to the transmitting module 12. The name "second cable 42" is used for ease of description, and it is a type of cable 4. The first wiring port 20aa refers to wiring port 20a of the first bracket 72. The first wiring port 20aa is a type of wiring port 20a, and it is used for ease of description.

[0241] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 11 to 14. The first bracket 72 includes an annular body 721 and a cable guard 723 connected to the annular body 721. A first cable outlet 20aa is formed in the cable guard 723. A transmitting coil 71 is disposed on the side of the annular body 721 near the clothes container 1. A portion of the second cable 42 passes through the first cable outlet 20aa and is located on the side of the cable guard 723 away from the clothes container 1.

[0242] Specifically, the second cable 42 can be electrically connected to the transmitting circuit board 73.

[0243] In this embodiment, the other end of the second cable 42 passes through the first cable outlet 20aa and is located on the side of the cable protection part 723 away from the clothes container 1. The cable protection part 723 can isolate the second cable 42 from the clothes container 1 and can shield the second cable 42 to reduce the risk of the second cable 42 contacting the clothes container 1.

[0244] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 to 14, a cable protection groove 723a is formed on the side of the cable protection portion 723 away from the clothes container 1, and a portion of the second cable 42 is located in the cable protection groove 723a.

[0245] In this embodiment, the groove wall of the cable guard 723a can not only limit the second cable 42 from shifting and play a positioning role, but also prevent the back plate 8 from pressing on the second cable 42 to a certain extent.

[0246] In some embodiments, the cable guard portion 723 may together with the back panel 8 define a cable guard cavity, and a portion of the second cable 42 is located within the cable guard cavity.

[0247] For example, the back panel 8 may form a groove-shaped structure, and the cable protection part 723 may cover the groove-shaped structure to jointly define the cable protection cavity. The cable protection part 723 may be a flat plate structure.

[0248] For example, the cable protection section 723 may form a cable protection groove 723a, and the back plate 8 may form a groove-shaped structure. The cable protection groove 723a and the groove-shaped structure may be engaged to form a cable protection cavity.

[0249] In this embodiment, the wall of the cable protection cavity not only restricts the second cable 42 from shifting and serves a positioning function, but also prevents the back plate 8 from pressing on the second cable 42 to a certain extent. In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 11 to 22, the receiving coil 51 is used to receive the electromagnetic signal emitted by the transmitting coil 71 and generate an induced current. At least one of the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 is electrically connected to the cable 4, and the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 are arranged at intervals relative to each other.

[0250] It should be noted that the relative spacing between the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 means that there is a certain gap between the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51, and that the projection of the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 overlap at least partially with the projection of the plane perpendicular to the front-back direction.

[0251] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 are arranged at a relative interval, which can reduce the impact of the rotating clothes container 1 on the transmitting coil 71 and increase installation safety.

[0252] For example, the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 can always remain coaxial and relative to each other, that is, no matter where the clothes tub 1 rotates, the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 always remain coaxial and relative to each other. The transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 can also be coaxial and relative to each other at a specific position, that is, the receiving coil 51 can be moved to the set position and coaxial and relative to the transmitting coil 71 by rotating with the clothes tub 1.

[0253] In some embodiments, for example, the transmitting coil 71 and the receiving coil 51 are generally in a ring-shaped structure.

[0254] In some embodiments, the transmitting coil 71, the receiving coil 51, and the clothes container 1 are arranged coaxially.

[0255] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the clothes drum 1, regardless of the position of the receiving coil 51 as it rotates with the clothes drum 1, the receiving coil 51 and the transmitting coil 71 always maintain a relative state. This allows the receiving coil 51 to continuously and stably receive the electrical energy transmitted by the transmitting coil 71, thus continuously providing power to the electrical components of the clothes drum 1. In other words, during the rotation of the clothes drum 1, the receiving coil 51 can always provide effective and sufficient power to the electrical components, eliminating the need for additional auxiliary power supply structures and increasing the power supply reliability of the clothing processing equipment 10.

[0256] Please refer to Figures 11, 12 and 17. The wireless power transmitting module 7 is disposed on the rear panel 8, and at least a portion of the wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed on the rear cover 102.

[0257] It should be noted that the wireless power transmission module 7 is disposed on the rear panel 8. This can be because the entire wireless power transmission module 7 is an integrated component, disposed on the side of the rear panel 8 facing the rear end cover 102 or on the side of the rear panel 8 away from the rear end cover 102; or the various components of the wireless power transmission module 7 are distributed in different parts of the rear panel 8. For example, some components are disposed on the side of the rear panel 8 facing the rear end cover 102, while other components are disposed on the side of the rear panel 8 away from the rear end cover 102.

[0258] It should be noted that at least a portion of the wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed on the rear end cover 102. Alternatively, the entire structure of the wireless power receiving module 5 may be disposed on the rear end cover 102. In this case, the wireless power receiving module 5 may be disposed on the side of the rear end cover 102 facing the rear back plate 8 or on the side of the rear end cover 102 facing the tube body 101. Alternatively, a portion of the wireless power receiving module 5 may be disposed on the rear end cover 102. This portion of the structure may be disposed on the side of the rear end cover 102 facing the rear back plate 8 or on the side of the rear end cover 102 facing the tube body 101. The other portion of the wireless power receiving module 5 may be disposed inside the tube body 101 or in other locations. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0259] In this embodiment, the wireless power transmitting module 7 is disposed on the rear panel 8, and at least a portion of the wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed on the rear cover 102. While providing sufficient installation space and installation safety for the wireless power transmitting module 7, the distance between the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 can be shortened, increasing the reliability of power transmission. At the same time, it can also reduce the probability of interference between the electrical connection between the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the main control board and the clothes container 1, increasing the reliability of the electrical connection between the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the main control board.

[0260] The transmitting coil 71 is disposed on the rear panel 8. Specifically, the transmitting coil 71 can be disposed on the side of the rear panel 8 facing the rear end cover 102, or it can be disposed on the side of the rear panel 8 away from the rear end cover 102.

[0261] The receiving coil 51 is disposed on the rear end cover 102. For example, the receiving coil 51 may be disposed on the side of the rear end cover 102 facing the cylinder body 101 or on the side of the rear end cover 102 facing the back plate 8.

[0262] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 20 to 22, the wireless power receiving module 5 includes a receiving circuit board 53, which is electrically connected to the receiving coil 51.

[0263] For example, the receiving circuit board 53 includes a modulation / demodulation circuit and a power output circuit. The modulation / demodulation circuit can realize signal conversion, and the power output circuit can realize the output of electrical energy.

[0264] In some embodiments, the receiving circuit board 53 and the receiving coil 51 can be electrically connected via a cable 4. For example, the wiring port 20a includes a second wiring port formed in the second bracket 52, through which the first cable 41 electrically connected to the receiving circuit board 53 passes.

[0265] In some embodiments, the receiving circuit board 53 and the receiving coil 51 can be electrically connected by a cable 4, the second bracket 52 may not have a cable routing port 20a, and the cable 4 electrically connected to the receiving circuit board 53 may be routed without holes.

[0266] It should be noted that the first cable 41 refers to cable 4 electrically connected to the receiving module. The name "first cable 41" is used for ease of description, and it is one type of cable 4. The second wiring port refers to wiring port 20a of the second bracket 52. The second wiring port is one type of wiring port 20a, and it is also used for ease of description.

[0267] In some embodiments, the receiving circuit board 53 and the receiving coil 51 can be directly electrically connected, that is, there is no first cable 41 between the receiving circuit board 53 and the receiving coil 51.

[0268] In some embodiments, see Figure 21, the receiving circuit board 53 is disposed within the lifting rib 2.

[0269] In this embodiment, the lifting rib 2 provides installation space for the receiving circuit board 53, reducing the probability of the receiving circuit board 53 coming into contact with clothing and increasing the installation reliability of the receiving circuit board 53.

[0270] In some embodiments, as exemplified by Figures 11 to 17, a first cable 41 passes through a wire hole 11a and is electrically connected to a wireless power receiving module 5 and at least one electrical component.

[0271] Specifically, the clothes container 1 can be provided with a wire hole 11a, the receiving coil 51 can be provided outside the clothes container 1, the receiving circuit board 53 and the detection unit 15 are both provided inside the clothes container 1a, and the first cable 41 can be passed through the wire hole 11a and electrically connected to the receiving circuit board 53, the receiving coil 51 and the electrical component 3.

[0272] Specifically, the receiving coil 51 can be set outside the clothes-holding tube 1, the receiving circuit board 53 and the conductivity detection device 6 are both set inside the clothes-holding cavity 1a, and the first cable 41 can be passed through the wire hole 11a and electrically connected to the receiving circuit board 53, the receiving coil 51 and the electrical components.

[0273] In this embodiment, the second bracket 52 may not have a cable routing port 20a. The first cable 41, which is electrically connected to the receiving circuit board 53, can be threaded through the cable through the cable hole 11a to allow the first cable 41 to be electrically connected to the receiving circuit board 53, the receiving coil 51, and the electrical components.

[0274] In some embodiments, referring to FIG20, the garment processing device 10 includes a conical cap 18, one end of which is connected to the rear end cover 102 near the side of the cylinder 101, and a receiving circuit board 53 is located inside the conical cap 18.

[0275] Specifically, a conical cap 18 is disposed on the clothes-holding drum 1. One end of the conical cap 18 is connected to the side of the rear end cover 102 near the drum body 101, and the other end extends toward the inside of the drum body 101. The conical cap 18 can disperse the clothes during the rotation of the clothes-holding drum 1, reducing the chance of clothes tangling or knotting, making the drying of clothes more even and improving the drying effect of clothes.

[0276] For example, the conical cap 18 can be connected to the portion of the rear end cover 102 that is approximately at the center.

[0277] In this embodiment, the receiving circuit board 53 is disposed inside the conical cap 18. The conical cap 18 provides installation space for the receiving circuit board 53, and the conical cap 18 can reduce the probability of the receiving circuit board 53 coming into contact with clothing to a certain extent, thereby increasing the installation reliability of the receiving circuit board 53.

[0278] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 16 and 22, the receiving circuit board 53 is integrated into the second bracket 52.

[0279] In this embodiment, the receiving coil 51 and the receiving circuit board 53 are integrated by the second bracket 52. No cable 4 needs to be installed between the receiving coil 51 and the receiving circuit board 53. This eliminates the need for connecting the receiving coil 51 and the receiving circuit board 53 with wires, reducing the assembly complexity caused by intertwined wires, making power transmission more convenient, and reducing filtering losses and electromagnetic interference. Since the receiving coil 51 and the receiving circuit board 53 are located on the same plane, the overall structure of the wireless power receiving module 5 is simple and compact, and the installation and maintenance of each component are highly convenient. The second bracket 52 provides mounting support for the receiving coil 51 and the receiving circuit board 53, increasing the installation stability of the receiving coil 51 and the receiving circuit board 53.

[0280] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 11, 18, and 19, the garment handling device 10 includes a detection unit 15, which is used to detect the electrical conductivity of the garments in the garment holding chamber 1a. The detection unit 15 is electrically connected to the wireless power receiving module 5. Specifically, the detection unit 15 is disposed in the garment holding tube 1.

[0281] It is understood that the detection unit 15 is one of the aforementioned electrical components 3.

[0282] The detection unit 15 can detect the conductivity of the load, such as clothing, inside the garment chamber 1a. The garment processing equipment 10 can determine the degree of drying based on the conductivity detected by the detection unit 15. For example, the detection principle of the detection unit 15 can be as follows: the load, such as clothing, inside the garment chamber 1a comes into contact with the two detection electrodes 151 of the detection unit 15, causing the detection circuit of the detection unit 15 to conduct. The resistance values ​​of the load, such as clothing, are different depending on the degree of moisture. In other words, the degree of moisture of the load, such as clothing, is related to the conductivity, and the degree of drying is determined based on the conductivity.

[0283] In this embodiment, the detection unit 15 is disposed inside the clothes drum 1, and the wireless power receiving module 5 provides power to the detection unit 15. The detection electrode 151 of the detection unit 15 can contact the load such as clothes in the clothes chamber 1a, thereby sensing the degree of drying of the clothes at close range and effectively improving the accuracy of judging the degree of drying of the load such as clothes in the clothes drum 1.

[0284] The installation position of the detection unit 15 inside the clothes container 1 is not limited.

[0285] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 11, 18, 19 and 29. The garment handling device 10 includes a lifting rib 2, which protrudes radially from the circumferential inner wall of the garment holding tube 1. The detection unit 15 includes a detection electrode 151 and a detection circuit that are electrically connected to each other. The detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2, and the detection circuit is disposed inside the lifting rib 2. The detection circuit is electrically connected to the wireless power receiving module 5.

[0286] Specifically, the detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2, which facilitates close contact with loads such as clothing. The detection circuit is disposed inside the lifting rib 2. That is, while the lifting rib 2 can be used to move the clothing in the clothing chamber 1a, it can also provide installation space for the detection circuit, thereby reducing the probability of the detection circuit contacting the clothing to a certain extent and increasing the installation and working reliability of the detection unit 15.

[0287] For example, the receiving circuit board 53 may have a detection circuit, and the receiving circuit board 53 may be disposed within the lifting rib 2.

[0288] In this embodiment, the detection circuit can be disposed within the lifting rib 2, which protects the detection circuit from interference from clothing or other loads within the garment cavity 1a. The detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2 to facilitate contact between the detection electrode 151 and the clothing.

[0289] For example, in some embodiments, the detection electrode 151 may be entirely located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2 along the circumferential direction, while in other embodiments, a portion of the detection electrode 151 may be located on one outer side of the lifting rib 2 along the circumferential direction, and another portion may be located on the top side of the lifting rib 2 radially away from the peripheral sidewall 11 of the clothes container 1.

[0290] The specific structure of the detection electrode 151 is not limited. For example, referring to Figures 18 and 19, the detection electrode 151 includes a first electrode 61 and a second electrode 62, both located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2. The first electrode 61 includes a first connecting portion 611 and at least two first teeth 612 connected to the first connecting portion 611. The second electrode 62 includes a second connecting portion 621 and at least two second teeth 622 connected to the second connecting portion 621. The first teeth 612 and the second teeth 622 are arranged alternately.
