[0004] Currently, to power the electrical components inside the dryer, such as the conductivity detection component, a wireless power supply component is typically used. This component includes a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver. The receiver is mounted on the support shaft at the rear of the drum and supplies power to the electrical components via a wire passing through the shaft. This requires drilling holes in the support shaft, affecting its structural strength and consequently its lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a garment processing device.

[0006] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides a garment processing device, comprising: a garment container having a garment chamber; a capacitance detection component, at least a portion of which is disposed within the garment chamber; and a wireless power transmission component including a transmitting coil and a receiving coil, wherein the receiving coil is disposed in the garment container and is connected to the capacitance detection component via a connecting wire harness passing through the garment container, and the receiving coil is configured to receive electrical energy transmitted by the transmitting coil.

[0007] In some embodiments, the garment handling apparatus further includes a lifting rib disposed on the garment holding tube and located in the garment holding chamber of the garment holding tube, and the capacitance detection component is mounted on the lifting rib.

[0008] In some embodiments, the garment tube has a wiring hole for the connecting wire harness to pass through; the lifting rib covers the wiring hole.

[0009] In some embodiments, the lifting rib has a receiving groove, and the capacitance detection component is disposed within the receiving groove.

[0010] In some embodiments, the receiving groove has two oppositely disposed sidewalls; the capacitance detection assembly includes a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode being disposed on the two sidewalls respectively.

[0011] In some embodiments, the capacitance detection component includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is disposed on the garment drum and located on a lifting rib inside the garment chamber. The second electrode is disposed on the wall of the garment drum and located inside the garment chamber or on the front support of the garment processing equipment.

[0012] In some embodiments, the garment handling device further includes a housing, the garment tube is rotatably disposed within the housing, the receiving coil is disposed at the rear end of the garment tube, and the transmitting coil is disposed on the housing and located behind the garment tube.

This allows the receiving coil to receive electrical energy transmitted by the transmitting coil and supply power to the capacitance detection component, enabling contactless power transmission between the transmitting and receiving coils. Furthermore, the connecting harness passes through the garment drum rather than the support shaft at the rear end of the drum, thus avoiding impact on the structural strength of the support shaft and extending its lifespan. The capacitance detection component determines the degree of dryness of the garments through capacitance measurement, improving the drying effect. Attached Figure Description

Embodiments of the present invention

[0026] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0027] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, this disclosure provides a garment processing device with a drying function. The garment processing device can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. A dryer refers to a device with a drying function, while a washer-dryer combo refers to a device that integrates drying and washing functions. In this case, the garment container of the garment processing device can be used for washing and drying, and washing can include rinsing and dehydration.

[0029] Specifically, the aforementioned garment processing equipment includes a garment container 1, a capacitance detection component 2, and a wireless power transmission component 3. The garment container 1 has a garment chamber 1a. At least a portion of the capacitance detection component 2 is disposed within the garment chamber 1a, and the capacitance detection component 2 is disposed within the garment container 1. The wireless power transmission component 3 includes a transmitting coil 31 and a receiving coil 32. The receiving coil 32 is disposed on the garment container 1 and is connected to the capacitance detection component 2 via a connecting wire harness 4 passing through the garment container 1. The receiving coil 32 is used to receive electrical energy transmitted by the transmitting coil 31.

[0030] Understandably, the receiving coil 32 is mounted on the clothes-holding drum 1 and connected to the capacitance detection assembly 2 via a connecting wire harness 4 passing through the clothes-holding drum 1. Thus, the receiving coil 32 receives electrical energy transmitted by the transmitting coil 31 and supplies power to the capacitance detection assembly 2, enabling contactless power transmission between the transmitting coil 31 and the receiving coil 32. Furthermore, the connecting wire harness 4 passes through the clothes-holding drum 1 rather than the support shaft at the rear end of the clothes-holding drum 1, thereby avoiding impact on the structural strength of the support shaft and extending its service life. Additionally, the capacitance detection assembly 2 can determine the degree of dryness of the clothes through capacitance detection, which helps improve the drying effect.

[0031] For example, energy is transferred between the transmitting coil 31 and the receiving coil 32 via a magnetic field. For instance, the transmitting coil 31 can generate a changing magnetic field, and the receiving coil 32 can generate current through magnetic induction, thereby realizing the transfer of electrical energy.

[0032] The rotation axis of the aforementioned clothes-collecting drum 1 can extend horizontally, in which case the clothes processing equipment can be a drum-type clothes processing equipment. Taking the rotation axis of the clothes-collecting drum 1 as horizontal as an example, during the rotation of the clothes-collecting drum 1, the clothes are moved from below to above; under the action of gravity, the clothes fall from above to below. In this way, the clothes are dispersed, shaken, and have their posture changed under the combined action of the clothes-collecting drum 1 and gravity.

[0033] Furthermore, the aforementioned garment container 1 is generally hollow and cylindrical, and can be a single-tube structure, meaning the garment processing equipment consists of only one tube. Alternatively, an outer tube can be fitted around the garment container 1, in which case the garment processing equipment has two tubes. Additionally, the garment container 1 can be made of metal, such as stainless steel.

[0034] It should be noted that, in one scenario, referring to Figure 1, the aforementioned clothes container 1 has a support shaft 6 at its axial rear end that rotates synchronously with the clothes container 1, and the receiving coil 32 is arranged around the support shaft 6. That is, the receiving coil 32 has a ring structure. Although the receiving coil 32 is arranged around the support shaft 6, the connecting wire harness 4 between the receiving coil 32 and the capacitance detection component 2 does not pass through the support shaft 6, thus reducing the impact on the support shaft 6.

[0035] In another scenario, the clothes-holding tube 1 is rotatably supported at both its front and rear ends along its axial direction by multiple support components, and the rear end of the clothes-holding tube 1 is not connected to any other structure. In this case, the receiving coil does not require any obstacle avoidance design and can be designed as a non-ring structure. This reduces the space occupied by the receiving coil while maintaining the same transmission efficiency, facilitating the arrangement of the receiving coil and / or transmitting coil, and increasing the transmission efficiency of the receiving coil while occupying the same space. The support components include at least two support wheels, and the clothes-holding tube 1 is supported at both its front and rear ends along its axial direction by at least two support wheels.

[0036] A ring structure is a structure with a central hole, meaning the ring structure itself forms a central opening. In this case, the ring structure has inner and outer edges. The inner edge can be circular, elliptical, or polygonal, and the outer edge can also be circular, elliptical, or polygonal, such as a circular ring structure or a square ring structure. A non-ring structure, on the other hand, is a structure without a central hole; it only has an outer edge and no inner edge. In this case, the outer edge can be circular, elliptical, or polygonal, such as a square structure, a triangular structure, or a circular structure.

[0037] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a bracket (not shown), on which a receiving coil 32 is disposed, and the bracket can be mounted on the garment container 1.

[0038] By setting up a bracket, not only can the receiving coil 32 be fixed, facilitating its installation, but the bracket can also separate the receiving coil 32 from the clothes container 1 by a certain distance, preventing the receiving coil 32 from heating the clothes container 1 when there is magnetic leakage. Of course, the receiving coil 32 can also be directly installed on the clothes container 1.

[0039] Furthermore, the aforementioned garment processing equipment also includes a magnetic shielding layer (not shown in the figure), which is disposed between the receiving coil 32 and the garment holding tube 1.

[0040] Understandably, by setting a magnetic shielding layer, the receiving coil 32 and the clothes container 1 can be separated, preventing the receiving coil 32 from heating the clothes container 1 when it leaks magnetic flux, thus affecting the energy transfer efficiency.

[0041] The projection of the receiving coil 32 onto the clothes container 1 is located within the projection range of the magnetic shielding layer onto the clothes container 1, so that the magnetic shielding layer can completely separate the receiving coil 32 and the clothes container 1.

[0042] The aforementioned magnetic shielding layer can be installed on the support or directly on the clothes container 1, and can provide shielding when the receiving coil 32 leaks magnetic flux.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1, the garment processing device also includes a housing 7, a garment drum 1 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 7, a receiving coil 32 is disposed at the rear end of the garment drum 1, and a transmitting coil 31 is disposed on the housing 7 and located behind the garment drum 1.

[0044] Understandably, the receiving coil 32 rotates with the clothes container 1, while the transmitting coil 31 is mounted on the housing 7 and remains stationary, so the receiving coil 32 rotates relative to the transmitting coil 31.

[0045] Furthermore, at least a portion of the receiving coil 32 is disposed opposite to the transmitting coil 31. Understandably, the centers of both the receiving coil 32 and the transmitting coil 31 can be located on the rotation axis of the clothes container 1, in which case the entire receiving coil 32 and transmitting coil 31 are disposed opposite each other. Alternatively, the receiving coil 32 and the transmitting coil 31 can be offset from each other; for example, the center of the transmitting coil 31 is located on the rotation axis of the clothes container 1, while the centerline passing through the center of the receiving coil 32 is parallel to the rotation axis of the clothes container 1. Another example is that the center of the receiving coil 32 is located on the rotation axis of the clothes container 1, while the centerline passing through the center of the transmitting coil 31 is parallel to the rotation axis of the clothes container 1.

[0046] Preferably, the centers of the receiving coil 32 and the transmitting coil 31 are both located on the rotation axis of the clothes container 1. With this arrangement, the relative positions of the receiving coil 32 and the transmitting coil 31 remain unchanged as the receiving coil 32 rotates with the clothes container 1, thereby ensuring that the receiving coil 32 and the transmitting coil 31 can achieve stable transmission of electrical energy.

[0047] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 4, the garment processing device further includes a lifting rib 5, which is disposed on the garment cylinder 1 and located in the garment chamber 1a of the garment cylinder 1, and the aforementioned capacitance detection component 2 is mounted on the lifting rib 5.

[0048] Understandably, the garment chamber 1a is used to place clothes, the garment tube 1 can rotate, and the lifting rib 5 can contact the clothes in the garment chamber 1a and drive the clothes to rotate with the garment tube 1. For example, the clothes move upward under the action of the lifting rib 5, and then move downward under the action of gravity and / or centrifugal force, so that the clothes continuously change their posture in the garment chamber 1a.

[0049] Furthermore, the aforementioned lifting rib 5 has a receiving groove 51a, and the aforementioned capacitance detection component 2 is disposed within the receiving groove 51a.

[0050] Specifically, the receiving tank 51a has two opposing sidewalls. The capacitance detection component 2 includes a first electrode 21 and a second electrode 22, which are respectively disposed on the two sidewalls. Thus, an electric field is formed between the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22, allowing the capacitance parameters within the garment holding chamber 1a to be obtained. These capacitance parameters change with the humidity of the clothing, enabling the garment processing equipment to calculate the humidity of the clothing based on these parameters, thereby obtaining information on the dryness of the clothing. Furthermore, by using this information, the garment processing equipment can accurately determine the dryness of the clothing before stopping operation, ensuring that the clothing is sufficiently dry before the equipment stops running, thus improving the drying effect.

[0051] It should be noted that the aforementioned lifting rib 5 is provided with heat dissipation holes 513a. The heat dissipation holes 513a facilitate heat dissipation from the capacitor detection component 2. When the lifting rib 5 is provided with heat dissipation holes 513a, the garment processing equipment is a dryer. When the lifting rib is not provided with heat dissipation holes, the garment processing equipment can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo.

[0052] In addition, the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment also includes a control board (not shown in the figure) disposed in the receiving tank 51a, a connecting wire harness 4 connected to the receiving coil 32 and the control board, and the control board connected to the capacitance detection component 2.

[0053] The connecting harness 4 can transmit electrical signals, and the control board can control the on / off state of the power supply. For example, it can conduct or cut off the power transmission between the receiving coil 32 and the capacitance detection component 2, that is, control the start and stop of the capacitance detection component 2. The control board is set in the receiving groove 51a of the lifting rib 5 to facilitate the electrical connection between the control board and the capacitance detection component 2.

[0054] The aforementioned control board may include an MCU, or Microcontroller Unit. It can be used to perform input functions such as signal acquisition and processing, as well as output functions such as issuing commands to control the operation of actuators. For example, the control board can control the power supply.

[0055] Understandably, the receiving coil 32, control board, connecting wire harness 4 and capacitor detection assembly 2 rotate synchronously with the clothes container 1, so that the rotation of the clothes container 1 will not cause the connecting wire harness 4 to become tangled.

[0056] Furthermore, the clothes-holding tube 1 has a wiring hole for the connecting wire harness 4 to pass through, and the aforementioned lifting rib 5 covers the wiring hole. In this way, one end of the connecting wire harness 4 is connected to the receiving coil 32, and the other end passes through the wiring hole into the receiving groove 51a. The lifting rib 5 covers the wiring hole, which can prevent the connecting wire harness 4 from being exposed inside or outside the clothes-holding chamber 1a, thereby preventing the clothes from contacting the connecting wire harness 4.

[0057] In addition, the aforementioned connecting harness 4 is sealed through the wiring hole, for example by sealing rings, sealant or other sealing structures to seal the gap between the cable and the wiring hole, thereby preventing water or air leakage from the wiring hole when the garment processing equipment is a washer-dryer combo.

[0058] Specifically, referring to Figure 2, the aforementioned clothes container 1 includes a connected body 11 and a rear end cover 12. The front side of the body 11 has a clothes inlet, and the rear end cover closes the rear opening of the body 11. The rear end cover 12 has the aforementioned wiring hole, and the receiving coil 32 is disposed on the rear end cover 12 and located outside the clothes container 1a. The aforementioned lifting rib 5 is disposed on the body 11 and extends to the rear end cover 12 to cover the aforementioned wiring hole.

[0059] For example, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the lifting rib 5 includes a main body 51 and an extension 52 connected to the main body 51. The main body 51 has a receiving groove 51a, and the extension 52 covers the wiring hole.

[0060] The extension portion 52 is provided with a cable routing cavity for the connecting wire harness 4 to pass through, and the rearward-facing surface of the extension portion 52 is in contact with the rear surface of the garment chamber 1a, that is, in contact with the side surface of the rear end cover 12 facing the garment chamber 1a. The cable routing cavity can be sealed by the rear surface of the garment chamber 1a, preventing water or lint from entering the cable routing cavity.

[0061] The main body 51 includes two side plates 511, a top plate 512, and an end plate 513. The two side plates 511 are spaced apart circumferentially along the clothes-holding tube 1, and the bottom ends of both side plates 511 are connected to the peripheral sidewalls of the clothes-holding tube 1. The top plate 512 is connected to the top ends of the two side plates 511, and the end plate 513 is connected to the front ends of the two side plates 511. The top plate 512, end plate 513, and two side plates 511 together define a receiving groove 51a. The rear ends of the two side plates 511 are connected to the aforementioned extension 52.

[0062] The first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 of the capacitance detection component 2 are respectively disposed on the two side plates 511. The end plate 513 may be provided with the aforementioned heat dissipation holes 513a.

[0063] It should be noted that the side plate 511 and end plate 513 are both sealed to the circumferential wall of the clothes container 1 to ensure the sealing of the receiving groove 51a.

[0064] Furthermore, the aforementioned lifting rib 5 also includes a reinforcing portion 53 disposed within the receiving groove 51a to improve the structural strength of the lifting rib 5. The reinforcing portion 53 includes a partition and a reinforcing rib plate disposed within the receiving groove 51a.

[0065] In other embodiments, the capacitance detection component may include a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is configured as a lifting rib disposed on the garment drum and located inside the garment chamber. The second electrode is disposed on the inner wall of the garment drum or on the front support of the garment processing equipment.

[0066] Understandably, the first electrode is constructed as a lifting rib inside the garment container, thus eliminating the need for additional lifting ribs inside the container, simplifying the structure and installation process. The second electrode can be disposed on the inner wall of the garment container, so that the entire capacitance detection assembly is located within the garment container. An electric field is formed between the first and second electrodes, and the humidity of the garments is calculated by acquiring the capacitance parameters within the garment container, thereby obtaining the dryness information of the garments.

[0067] Furthermore, the second electrode can also be positioned outside the garment container, such as on the front support of the garment processing equipment. In this case, part of the capacitance detection component is located inside the garment container, and another part is located outside. This allows an electric field to be formed between the first and second electrodes. By acquiring the capacitance parameters inside the garment container, the humidity of the garments can be calculated, thus obtaining the dryness information of the garments. Of course, the second electrode is not limited to being positioned on the front support; it can also be placed in other locations within the garment processing equipment, as long as it can form an electric field with the first electrode to detect the dryness information of the garments.

[0068] The aforementioned garment processing equipment includes a circulating air duct. At least one air inlet communicating with a garment chamber 1a is formed on the rear side wall of the garment drum 1. The circulating air duct connects the air inlet and the air outlet of the garment chamber 1a. For example, an air inlet is formed on the rear side wall of the garment drum 1. The circulating air duct provides circulating airflow that repeatedly flows through the garment chamber 1a. Airflow in the circulating air duct can enter the garment chamber 1a through the air inlet, and airflow in the garment chamber 1a can enter the circulating air duct through the air outlet. The airflow can circulate between the circulating air duct and the garment chamber 1a.

[0069] Understandably, the number of air inlets can be one or more, such as two, three, four, or five, etc.

[0070] In one embodiment, the garment handling equipment includes a fan hood. The base is located inside the housing 7 and below the garment drum 1. A return air inlet and an air supply inlet communicating with the air inlet are formed on the rear side wall of the housing 7. The height of the return air inlet is lower than the height of the air supply inlet. A heat exchange channel is formed on the base, with its two ends connected to the air outlet and the return air inlet, respectively. The fan hood surrounds the air supply and return air inlets and, together with the rear side wall of the housing 7, defines an air supply channel. The heat exchange channel and the air supply channel together constitute a circulating air duct. The heat exchange channel is located upstream of the air supply channel along the airflow direction within the circulating air duct, and the airflow sequentially flows through the air outlet, heat exchange channel, return air inlet, air supply channel, air supply inlet, and air inlet. The housing 7 can be approximately hexahedral in shape, for example, a cube or a cuboid.

[0071] 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.

[0072] Furthermore, the garment processing equipment includes a heat exchange component located within a heat exchange channel. This component exchanges heat with the airflow within the channel, thereby dehumidifying and heating the garment. The humid, hot airflow within the garment holding chamber 1a can enter the heat exchange channel through an air outlet and, after heat and mass exchange with the heat exchange component, is converted into dry, hot airflow. This dry, hot airflow enters the supply air channel through a return air inlet and then flows back into the garment holding chamber 1a through both the supply and inlet air outlets.

[0073] The aforementioned heat exchange components include a condenser and an evaporator, and the garment handling equipment 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, within which the refrigerant can circulate. The airflow in the circulating duct exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator and condenser to form a dry, hot airflow. The evaporator cools and dehumidifies the humid, hot airflow from the garment compartment 1a into a dry, cold airflow, and the condenser heats the dry, cold airflow into a dry, hot airflow that flows back into the garment compartment 1a.

[0074] 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 air 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. This cycle repeats, achieving heat exchange. In other words, the evaporator cools and dehumidifies the humid airflow from the clothes compartment 1a, forming a dry, cool airflow. The condenser heats the dry, cool airflow into a dry, hot airflow, which then flows back into the clothes compartment 1a. The dry, hot airflow returning to the clothes compartment 1a comes into contact with the damp clothes, forming a humid, hot airflow again, completing one drying cycle. By repeatedly running the drying cycle, circulating airflow is continuously supplied to the clothes compartment 1a to dry the clothes.

[0075] For example, both the evaporator and the condenser can be finned tube heat exchangers.

[0076] For example, throttling devices include, but are not limited to, electronic expansion valves, etc.

[0077] Furthermore, the garment processing equipment 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 garment sequentially through the evaporator and condenser before blowing it onto the garment to create a circulating airflow. The fan wheel can accelerate airflow and improve drying efficiency.
