Detailed Implementation

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0024] With the increasing prevalence of smart homes in daily life, laundry equipment such as washing machines has become an important part of lifestyle. Laundry equipment with drying functions is relatively bulky and occupies a significant amount of space; therefore, a smaller laundry device has emerged.

[0025] In related technologies, clothing processing equipment with drying functions typically draws air in from the front of the drum and exits it from the rear. However, for miniaturized clothing processing equipment, the front space of the drum is insufficient, affecting the airflow volume and consequently the drying efficiency. Specifically, the front of the drum has a feed inlet, further limiting the available space. If an air inlet for introducing drying airflow were installed at the front, its size would be small to avoid the feed inlet, further reducing the airflow volume and consequently impacting the drying efficiency.

[0026] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, a garment processing device is provided in the related technology, which draws air in from the rear end of the drum and discharges air from the sides to improve the drying efficiency of the miniaturized garment processing device. However, how to ensure that the airflow directly enters the inner drum from the outer drum of the drum is a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0027] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a garment processing device aimed at at least partially improving its drying efficiency. The design concept of this disclosure is as follows: an air inlet is provided at the rear end of the drum for introducing drying airflow. This arrangement ensures that the air inlet is not affected by the inlet at the front end of the drum, allowing for a sufficiently large opening to guarantee the volume of drying airflow entering the drum and thus improving the drying efficiency of the garments. Further details of the garment processing device will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Figure 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of the garment processing device in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, and Figure 2 shows a structural schematic diagram of the base 10 in Figure 1. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the garment processing device includes a base 10, which serves as a carrier for assembling the remaining components of the garment processing device. An air intake section 101 is provided on the base 10. In one embodiment, the air intake section 101 is an air inlet grille located at the center of the base 10. Two air inlet grilles may be provided, allowing air to enter the garment processing device through the air intake section 502. In another embodiment, the air intake section 101 may also be located at the edge of the base 10, or it may be located at both the edge and the center of the base 10; the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0029] Referring to Figure 2, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, a shock absorber 20 is provided at the bottom edge of the housing. On the one hand, this can improve the shock resistance of the equipment, and on the other hand, it can also create a certain gap between the base 10 and the installation ground so that air can be introduced into the clothing processing equipment through the air intake 101 on the bottom.

[0030] Figure 3 shows an assembly schematic of the cover 30 and base 10 in Figure 1. Referring to Figure 3, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, the garment processing device further includes a cover 30, which is connected to the base 10. The cover 30 forms the appearance of the garment processing device, and the cover 30 and base 10 form an assembly space. Components such as the garment processing device's cylinder 50 and drying module 70 are assembled within this assembly space. In a specific implementation, the cover 30 is connected to the edge of the base 10, and a through opening 301 is provided on the front side of the cover 30. The door 40 of the garment processing device is rotatably connected to the edge of the through opening 301 of the cover 30, allowing the door 40 to open and close the through opening 301 of the cover 30 for convenient loading and unloading of garments by the user.

[0031] Figure 4 shows a structural schematic diagram of Figure 1 without the cover 30. Referring to Figure 4, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, the garment processing device further includes a cylinder 50, which is mounted on the base 10 and located inside the cover 30. In specific implementation, the cylinder 50 is rigidly connected to the base 10 via a support frame 60 to reduce vibration of the cylinder 50 to a certain extent and improve the reliability of the garment processing device during operation.

[0032] Referring to Figure 4, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, a loading port 501 is provided at the axial front end of the cylinder 50. The loading port 501 and the through port 301 of the cover 30 are arranged opposite to each other, allowing clothing to be placed or removed into the cylinder 50 through the loading port 501. When the door 40 closes the through port 301 of the cover 30, the door 40 also seals the loading port 501 of the cylinder 50.

[0033] Referring to Figure 4, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the drum 50 is arranged at an angle, that is, the axial front end of the drum 50 is higher than the axial rear end of the drum 50, thereby raising the axial front end of the drum 50 and consequently raising the height of the loading port 501 at the axial front end of the drum 50, making it easier for users to load and unload clothes. Additionally, because the axial rear end of the drum 50 is lower, during the operation of the clothing processing equipment, the clothes gather at the axial rear end of the drum 50, and the drying airflow entering from the axial rear end of the drum 50 can directly act on the clothes inside the drum 50, which can also improve the drying efficiency of the clothing processing equipment to a certain extent. According to another embodiment of this disclosure, the drum 50 can also be arranged horizontally.

[0034] Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the outer cylinder 503 of the cylinder 50 in Figure 4. Referring to Figure 5, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, an air inlet is provided at the axial rear end of the cylinder 50 as an air inlet 502. The drying airflow can enter the cylinder 50 through the air inlet 502 at the axial rear end of the cylinder 50 to dry the clothes inside the cylinder 50. In a specific implementation, the air inlet 502 can be located on the lower side of the axial rear end of the cylinder 50. Since the drying airflow has a certain temperature, the upward flow characteristic of the drying airflow can be used to dry the clothes, thereby maximizing the drying effect. In a specific implementation, the air inlet 502 is roughly fan-shaped, extending upward from the lower edge near the bottom of the axial rear end of the cylinder 50 to the middle area of ​​the cylinder 50, thereby maximizing the air intake of the air inlet 502 and improving the drying effect.

[0035] Figure 6 shows an assembly schematic of the drum 50 and drying module 70 in Figure 4. Referring to Figure 6, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the garment processing device further includes a drying module 70, which is provided with an output section. The output section of the drying module 70 is connected to the air inlet 502 of the drum 50. The drying module 70 generates a drying airflow, which is input into the drum 50 through the air inlet 502 of the drum 50 to dry the garments inside the drum 50.

[0036] Referring to Figure 6, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the drying module 70 is integrated on the outer surface of the cylinder 50, that is, the drying module 70 is mounted on the cylinder 50 to minimize the space occupied by the drying module 70. According to another embodiment of this disclosure, the drying module 70 may also be mounted on the inner wall of the cover 30 or on the base 10, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0037] Figure 7 shows a structural schematic diagram of the drying module 70 in Figure 6, and Figure 8 shows an internal schematic diagram of Figure 7. Referring to Figures 7 and 8, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, the drying module 70 includes an air-guiding component 701, a heating component 702, and an air-guiding duct 703. The output portion of the air-guiding component 701 is connected to the air inlet portion 502 of the cylinder 50 via the air-guiding duct 703. The heating component 702 is disposed within the air-guiding duct 703, that is, between the output portion of the air-guiding component 701 and the air inlet portion 502 of the cylinder 50, and downstream of the air-guiding component 701. When the heating component 702 is working, air is introduced into the heating duct through the air inlet portion 502 of the base 10, and then heated by the air-guiding component 701 within the heating duct to generate a drying airflow. The drying airflow is introduced into the cylinder 50 through the air inlet portion 502 at the axial rear end of the cylinder 50 to dry the clothes inside the cylinder 50. According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the heating element 702 can also be disposed upstream of the air-exhausting element 701. That is, a pipe can be disposed upstream of the air-exhausting element 701, and the heating element 702 can be disposed in the pipe, which can also achieve the heating of air into a drying airflow. In specific implementation, the air-exhausting element 701 can be a fan, and the heating element 702 can be an electric heater, such as an electric heating wire or an electric heating tube. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0038] Figure 9 shows an assembly schematic of the air duct 703 and the cylinder 50. Referring to Figure 9, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the air duct 701 is assembled on the top surface of the cylinder 50, a portion of the air duct 703 is assembled on the top surface of the cylinder 50, and another portion of the air duct 703 extends downward from the top of the axial rear end of the cylinder 50 to connect to the air inlet 502 of the cylinder 50.

[0039] Referring to Figure 6, since the temperature of the air duct 703 located near the heating element 702 is relatively high when the heating element 702 is working, the part of the air duct 703 located near the heating element 702 can be made of a high-temperature resistant material. The temperature of the part of the air duct 703 far away from the heating element 702 is relatively low, so the part of the air duct 703 far away from the heating element 702 can be made of other materials. That is, the air duct 703 has a separate structure. The air duct 703 is composed of pipes made of at least two materials connected together. The air duct 703 includes at least a first pipe 7031 that carries the heating element 702 and a second pipe 7032 that connects to the air inlet 502. The first pipe 7031 is made of a high-temperature resistant material, and the second pipe 7032 can be made of the same material as the cylinder 50. That is, the part of the air duct 703 that connects to the air inlet 502 is integrally formed with the cylinder 50 to save costs and improve assembly efficiency.

[0040] Figure 10 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cylinder 50. Referring to Figure 10, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cylinder 50 includes an outer cylinder 503 and an inner cylinder 504. The aforementioned drying module 70 is assembled on the outer surface of the outer cylinder 503. An air inlet 502 is opened at the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503. The inner cylinder 504 is rotatably disposed inside the outer cylinder 503. An air inlet 505 is provided at the axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504. The drying airflow introduced from the air inlet 502 of the outer cylinder 503 enters the inner cylinder 504 through the air inlet 505 to dry the clothes inside the inner cylinder 504.

[0041] To ensure that the drying airflow can only enter the inner cylinder 504 through the air inlet 505, the axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504 and the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503 need to be sealed together to ensure the direction of the drying airflow and prevent the drying airflow from spreading and affecting the drying effect.

[0042] Figure 11 shows a top view of Figure 10, and Figure 12 shows a cross-sectional view (AA) of Figure 11. Referring to Figures 11 and 12, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, the garment processing apparatus further includes a seal 80 disposed between the axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504 and the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503. The axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504 is rotatably connected to the seal 80, and the seal 80 abuts against the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503. That is, the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503, the seal 80, and the axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504 form an air-drawing chamber. Drying airflow enters the air-drawing chamber through the air inlet 502 at the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503 and is introduced into the inner cylinder 504 through the air inlet 505 at the axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504 to dry the garments inside the inner cylinder 504. During operation of the garment processing apparatus, the rotating axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504 abuts against the seal 80 to abut against the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503, ensuring the airtightness of the air-drawing chamber.

[0043] Figure 13 shows an enlarged schematic diagram of point A in Figure 12, and Figure 14 shows a structural schematic diagram of the seal 80 in Figure 13. Referring to Figures 13 and 14, the seal 80 and the inner cylinder 504 are axially connected at their rear ends. According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the seal 80 has an annular sealing groove 801 on the side facing the inner cylinder 504, and the inner cylinder 504 has an annular sealing protrusion 506 at its axial rear end, which is inserted into the sealing groove 801. The sealing protrusion 506 rotates together with the inner cylinder 504. During the rotation of the sealing protrusion 506, it always abuts against the bottom of the sealing groove 801 to prevent the drying airflow from leaking between the seal 80 and the axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504. According to another embodiment of this disclosure, a sealing groove is provided at the axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504, and an annular sealing protrusion is provided on the side of the sealing member 80 facing the inner cylinder 504. During the rotation of the cylinder 50, the sealing protrusion of the sealing member 80 always abuts against the bottom of the sealing groove, which can also prevent the drying airflow from leaking between the sealing member 80 and the axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504.

[0044] Referring to Figures 13 and 14, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, an annular support protrusion 507 is provided on the side of the outer cylinder 503 facing the seal 80 at its axial rear end. The support protrusion 507 abuts against the side of the seal 80 facing the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503. For example, the support protrusion 507 can abut against the inner wall of the side of the seal 80 facing the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503. The axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503 and the seal 80 are statically connected. The support protrusion 507 can support the seal 80, which has an elastic function, to ensure the posture of the seal 80 and thus ensure the sealing effect of the seal 80.

[0045] Referring to Figures 13 and 14, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing member 80 is flared with a gradually widening opening on the side facing the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503, so as to increase the diameter of the supporting protrusion 507, thereby increasing the size of the air inlet 502 at the rear of the outer cylinder 503 to a certain extent and ensuring the air volume of the drying airflow.

[0046] Referring to Figures 13 and 14, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the sealing element 80 is an integrally formed structure. A sealing protrusion 506 is disposed at the edge of the axial rear end of the inner cylinder 504, and a supporting protrusion 507 is also disposed at the edge of the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503. Furthermore, multiple sealing elements 80 may be provided, arranged concentrically and at intervals. Correspondingly, multiple sealing protrusions 506 and supporting protrusions 507 are also provided to further improve the sealing effect at the axial rear ends of the inner cylinder 504 and the outer cylinder 503.

[0047] Figure 15 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the inner drum 504 in Figure 12. Referring to Figure 15, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, multiple air inlets 505 are provided at the axial rear end of the inner drum 504. The multiple air inlets 505 are arranged around the axial direction of the inner drum 504 so that the drying airflow enters the inner drum 504 evenly, thereby improving the drying effect on the clothes inside the inner drum 504.

[0048] Referring to Figure 15, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, at least a portion of the periphery of the inner cylinder 504 is provided with air outlets 508. After the drying airflow dries the clothes inside the cylinder 50, it forms a humid airflow, which is discharged from the inner cylinder 504 through the air outlets 508. In specific implementation, the periphery of the inner cylinder 504 may be provided with multiple air outlet areas 509, which are spaced apart around the central axis of the inner cylinder 504. Each air outlet area 509 is provided with multiple air outlets 508 so that the humid airflow can be evenly drawn out of the inner cylinder 504.

[0049] Figure 16 shows a schematic diagram of the assembly of the outer cylinder 503 and the air outlet pipe 90. Referring to Figure 16, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an air outlet is provided on the periphery of the outer cylinder 503 to serve as the air outlet 5010 of the cylinder body 50. The humid airflow that is led out to the outside of the inner cylinder 504 is led out of the cylinder body 50 through the air outlet of the outer cylinder 503 to form a single airflow cycle.

[0050] Referring to Figure 16, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the air outlet 5010 is disposed on the top of the periphery of the cylinder 50. Since the air inlet 502 of the cylinder 50 is disposed on the lower side of the axial rear end of the cylinder 50, this arrangement can extend the flow path of the drying airflow in the cylinder 50 (inner cylinder 504) and improve the drying effect.

[0051] Referring to Figure 16, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the air outlet 5010 of the cylinder 50 is located near the front side of the cylinder 50. Since the air inlet 502 of the cylinder 50 is located at the axial rear end of the cylinder 50, this arrangement extends the flow path of the drying airflow within the cylinder 50 (inner cylinder 504), thereby improving the drying effect. However, it is understood that, to avoid scalding users with hot airflow, the air outlet 5010 of the outer cylinder 503 is more suitable to be located at the rear side of the outer cylinder 503, that is, closer to the axial rear end of the outer cylinder 503.

[0052] Referring to Figure 16, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the garment processing device further includes an air outlet duct 90, which is connected to the air outlet portion 5010 of the cylinder 50, through which humid airflow is discharged. At least a portion of the air outlet duct 90 shown in Figure 16 is curved, for example, L-shaped or serpentine, to prevent humid airflow from condensing within the air outlet duct 90 and falling back into the inner cylinder 504 of the cylinder 50. However, it is understood that in some embodiments, the air outlet duct 90 may also be straight.

[0053] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the air outlet duct 90 is disposed inside the cover 30. When the drying module 70 is operating, because the air outlet duct 90 is disposed inside the cover 30, at least a portion of the humid airflow is retained inside the cover 30 and introduced into the drying module 70 to utilize the energy of the humid airflow to improve the drying effect on the clothes inside the drum 50, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the clothes handling equipment. According to another embodiment of this disclosure, the air outlet duct may also be disposed inside the cover 30, but directly connected to the outside of the cover 30. According to another embodiment of this disclosure, the air outlet duct 90 may also extend out of the cover 30, that is, the humid airflow is directly led out of the equipment.

[0054] In summary, the garment processing equipment provided by this disclosure has an inlet 501 at the axial front end of the drum 50 and an air inlet 502 at the axial rear end of the drum 50. Therefore, the air inlet 502 is not affected by the inlet 501 and its size is sufficient to ensure the air volume of the drying airflow entering the drum 50. Since the drum 50 has an outlet 508 on its periphery, the humid airflow formed after the drying airflow enters the drum 50 and is dried can be discharged from the outlet 5010 of the drum 50. This allows the drying airflow to flow through various parts of the drum 50, ensuring the drying effect on the clothes inside the drum 50 and thereby improving the drying efficiency of the garment processing equipment.

[0055] The garment processing device disclosed herein introduces drying airflow from the air inlet of the outer drum into the inner drum through the air inlet hole to dry the garments inside the inner drum. Because the axial rear end of the inner drum and the axial rear end of the outer drum are directly sealed together, the direction of the drying airflow is ensured, allowing the drying airflow to enter the inner drum only from the axial rear end, thus preventing airflow diffusion and improving drying efficiency.
