Detailed Implementation

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The clothing processing device 1 of this application includes a housing 100 and a clothing processing cylinder 10.

[0044] The outer casing 100 is roughly hexahedral in shape, but a cuboid shape is more common for ease of placement and use. The casing 100 can be made of engineering plastic or metal, offering good insulation and strong impact resistance. A control panel for user operation is located on the front of the casing 100, integrating a touchscreen display and multiple operation buttons. The touchscreen display provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface, allowing users to easily select various garment processing programs, such as regular drying, steam care, and quick drying, to meet different garment materials and processing needs. The multiple operation buttons serve as auxiliary operation methods; users can press these buttons to start, pause, or stop the program, or to make other related settings, such as adjusting drying time and temperature parameters.

[0045] The garment processing drum 10 is installed inside the outer casing 100 and can be made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is characterized by its high strength and corrosion resistance, and can withstand the strong centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation during garment processing. This ensures that the garment processing drum 10 will not deform or be damaged due to stress during long-term use, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the equipment. The garment processing drum 10 is roughly hollow and cylindrical, and its internal space can be rationally arranged according to the actual needs of garment processing to accommodate garments of different sizes and types, such as large bed sheets and duvet covers, or small shoes.

[0046] During the garment processing, the garment processing drum 10 can rotate. As the drum rotates, the garments move from the bottom to the top along with the rotating drum wall, and then fall back down under the influence of gravity, repeating this cycle. Under the combined action of the rotation of the drum 10 and gravity, the garments are thoroughly dispersed, tumbled, and their posture altered. This movement ensures that the garments are evenly distributed within the drum, guaranteeing uniform heating and drying of all parts of the garments. This avoids localized overheating or uneven drying, significantly improving drying efficiency and effectiveness. It also helps reduce wrinkles, resulting in smoother garments after drying.

[0047] Exemplarily, the garment processing device 1 also includes a motor (not shown in the figure), and the garment processing drum 10 is driven by the motor via a belt. The motor transmits power to the garment processing drum 10 via the belt, causing the garment processing drum 10 to rotate at a set speed and direction. This transmission method has advantages such as simple structure, smooth transmission, and low noise, and can ensure that the garment processing drum 10 maintains a stable operating state during rotation. In other embodiments, the motor and the garment processing drum 10 can also be driven by gears. In the embodiments of this application, no specific limitation is made on the transmission form between the motor and the garment processing drum 10.

[0048] In one embodiment, the garment processing device 1 includes a circulating air duct (not shown in the figure), an air inlet on the rear side of the garment processing cylinder 10, and an air outlet on the front side of the garment processing cylinder 10. The circulating air duct connects the air inlet and the air outlet. The circulating air duct is configured to provide circulating airflow to the inner cavity of the garment processing cylinder 10. The airflow in the circulating air duct can enter the inner cavity of the garment processing cylinder 10 through the air inlet, and the airflow inside the garment processing cylinder 10 can enter the circulating air duct through the air outlet. The airflow can circulate between the circulating air duct and the garment processing cylinder 10.

[0049] In one embodiment, the garment processing device 1 further includes a base 60, which is disposed below the garment processing cylinder 10. The base 60 forms a heat exchange channel, which is part of the circulating air duct.

[0050] The garment processing device 1 also includes a heat exchange component (not shown in the figure) located in the heat exchange channel. The heat exchange component is configured to exchange heat with the airflow in the heat exchange channel, thereby dehumidifying and heating. The humid and hot airflow in the garment processing cylinder 10 enters the heat exchange channel and is converted into dry and hot airflow after heat and mass exchange with the heat exchange component. The dry and hot airflow flows back into the garment processing cylinder 10 through the air inlet.

[0051] Exemplarily, the heat exchange assembly includes a condenser and an evaporator. The clothing handling device 1 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 configured to cool and dehumidify the humid and hot airflow from the clothing handling drum 10 to form 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 handling drum 10.

[0052] 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; the discharged high-pressure refrigerant enters the condenser, where it transfers heat to the airflow to condense into a high-pressure liquid; the high-pressure liquid refrigerant 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 and becomes low-pressure gas; the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is then drawn back into the compressor; this cycle repeats, achieving heat exchange. In other words, the evaporator is configured to cool and dehumidify the humid airflow from the clothes handling drum 10, forming a dry, cool airflow. The condenser heats the dry, cool airflow into a dry, hot airflow, which then flows back into the clothes handling drum 10. The dry, hot airflow returning to the clothes handling drum 10 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 handling drum 10 to dry the clothes.

[0053] For example, both the evaporator and condenser can be finned tube heat exchangers. For example, the throttling device includes, but is not limited to, an electronic expansion valve.

[0054] In one embodiment, the garment processing device 1 includes a fan (not shown) configured to drive airflow. Exemplarily, the fan is located within a heat exchange channel. During the drying process, the fan is configured to drive the airflow passing over the garment through an evaporator and a condenser in sequence before blowing it onto the garment to form a circulating airflow.

[0055] As society continues to develop, users are placing higher demands on garment processing equipment 1. For example, users need to add functional agents to the garment processing chamber 10A. These functional agents include those that enhance fragrance, remove stains, eliminate static electricity, increase garment shine, provide antibacterial and deodorizing effects, and protect garment fibers. However, these functional agents often need to be added manually by the user, which can be inconvenient.

[0056] Based on the above, please refer to Figure 3. The garment processing device 1 also includes a fluid supply device 40 and a functional agent device 70. The fluid supply device 40 is connected to the garment processing chamber 10A and is configured to supply fluid into the garment processing chamber 10A. The functional agent device 70 is connected to the fluid supply device 40 and can release a functional agent. The functional agent can be carried into the garment processing chamber 10A by the fluid supplied by the fluid supply device 40, so that the functional agent can act on the garment to meet the user's needs. The user does not need to manually add the agent, thereby improving the convenience of using the functional agent.

[0057] It is understood that the fluid supplied by the fluid supply device 40 includes one of gas, liquid, and gas-liquid mixture. It is also understood that the functional preparation disposed within the fluid supply device 40 includes at least one of gas-activated functional preparations, liquid-activated functional preparations, light-activated functional preparations, and heat-activated functional preparations. Of course, in other embodiments, the functional preparation can also be in other forms. In the embodiments of this application, the specific form of the functional preparation is not limited.

[0058] For example, when the functional formulation is a gas-activated functional formulation, the fluid supply device 40 can be a circulating air duct or an external air power source, such as an air pump. Both the circulating air duct and the external air power source can supply gas to the garment processing chamber 10A. In this case, the functional formulation device 70 can be disposed in the circulating air duct, in the flow path of the external air power source, or in the garment processing chamber 10A. When the gas comes into contact with the functional formulation device 70, the functional formulation device 70 is activated to release the functional formulation, thereby enabling the gas to carry the functional formulation and act on the garment. It is understood that the gas can be air or a special activating gas. In other embodiments, there are other ways to release the functional formulation by activating the functional formulation device 70 with gas. In this embodiment, no further limitations are imposed on this.

[0059] When the functional agent is a liquid-activated functional agent, the fluid supply device 40 can supply liquid into the garment processing chamber 10A. In this case, the functional agent device 70 can be disposed in the liquid flow path of the fluid supply device 40. When the liquid comes into contact with the functional agent device 70, the functional agent device 70 is activated to release the functional agent, thereby allowing the liquid to carry the functional agent and act on the garment. In other embodiments, the liquid-activated functional agent can also be disposed within the garment processing chamber 10A. When the liquid in the garment processing chamber soaks the liquid-activated functional agent, the activated functional agent is activated to release the functional agent. Of course, there are other methods for releasing the functional agent through the liquid-activated functional agent device 70. In this embodiment, no further limitations are imposed.

[0060] When the functional agent is a photoexcited functional agent, it can be irradiated by a light source to release the functional agent. The light source can be a light bulb, a laser emitter, or sunlight, etc. The substance carrying the functional agent can be a gas or a liquid. The gas can be provided by a circulating air duct or an external air power source. In this case, both the light source and the functional agent device 70 can be located within the circulating air duct or both can be located in the flow path of the external air power source. The light emitted by the light source can excite the functional agent device 70 to release the functional agent. The functional agent can be carried by the gas provided by the circulating air duct or the external air power source to move into the clothing processing chamber 10A, thereby allowing the functional agent to act on the clothing. Alternatively, the liquid can be provided by a liquid supply channel. In this case, both the light source and the functional agent device 70 can be located in the liquid supply channel. When the light source excites the functional agent device 70 to release the functional agent, the fluid in the liquid supply channel can carry the functional agent into the clothing processing chamber 10A, thereby allowing the functional agent to act on the clothing. It is understood that the light source and the functional agent device 70 can also be disposed within the garment processing chamber 10A, so that the functional agent device 70 can directly release the functional agent into the garment processing chamber 10A, thereby enabling the functional agent to act directly on the garment or act on the garment via liquid transport. In other embodiments, there are other methods of releasing the functional agent by stimulating the functional agent device 70 with light. In the embodiments of this application, no further limitations are imposed on this.

[0061] When the functional formulation is a heat-activated functional formulation, since the condenser can heat the flowing gas, the functional formulation device 70 can be placed on the air outlet side of the condenser or inside the clothing treatment chamber 10A. This allows the hot air to contact the functional formulation device 70, causing it to release the functional formulation, which then acts on the clothing. In other embodiments, there are other methods for releasing the functional formulation through heat-activated functional formulation device 70. This application does not impose excessive limitations on these methods.

[0062] Referring to Figure 3, in one embodiment, the functional formulation device 70 can be non-replaceably disposed in the flow path of the fluid supply device 40, so that when the fluid moves in the flow path of the fluid supply device 40, it can carry the functional formulation released by the functional formulation device 70 into the garment processing chamber 10A. In other embodiments, the functional formulation device 70 can also be replaceably disposed in the flow path of the fluid supply device 40. In the embodiments of this application, there are no specific limitations on the installation method of the functional formulation device 70 in the flow path of the fluid supply device 40.

[0063] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, in one specific embodiment, the fluid supply device 40 may include a liquid supply box 41, a liquid delivery pipe 44, a dispensing device 20, and a power source 45. The liquid supply box 41 is configured to store liquid; the inlet end of the liquid delivery pipe 44 is connected to the liquid supply box 41; the dispensing device 20 is located at the outlet end of the liquid delivery pipe 44, and the nozzle 2034 of the dispensing device 20 is connected to the clothing processing chamber 10A; the power source 45 is connected to the liquid delivery pipe 44 and is configured to drive the liquid in the liquid supply box 41 to flow through the liquid delivery pipe 44 to the dispensing device 20. The liquid supply box 41, the dispensing device 20, and the power source 45 constitute the liquid flow path of the fluid supply device 40.

[0064] Specifically, the functional preparation device 70 can be disposed on and connected to the infusion tube 44. When the liquid flows through the functional preparation device 70, the functional preparation device 70 can release the functional preparation, thereby allowing the liquid carrying the functional preparation to enter the garment processing chamber 10A through the dispensing device 20 to come into contact with the garment.

[0065] In this embodiment, the functional agent device 70 can employ a slow-release membrane with a microporous structure to cover the functional agent carrier, enabling precise control of the release rate of the functional agent. As the liquid flows through, the functional agent is slowly and continuously released into the liquid via the micropores, avoiding the waste and excessively high local concentrations caused by a single large release of the functional agent. This achieves uniform distribution of the functional agent throughout the entire garment treatment process, allowing it to continuously and stably perform its functions, such as providing a lasting softening effect, long-lasting antibacterial effect, or long-lasting fragrance. Furthermore, this release method allows the functional agent to maintain sufficient contact with the garment for a longer period, effectively improving the utilization efficiency of the functional agent. Compared to traditional one-time dispensing methods, it achieves better treatment results with less functional agent, reducing the cost of using the functional agent. Moreover, it eliminates the need for manual dispensing by the user, improving the convenience of using the functional agent.

[0066] It is understood that the power source 45 may include at least one of an air pump, a water pump, and a steam generator.

[0067] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, in a specific embodiment, the infusion tube 44 includes a first infusion tube 441, with the inlet end of the first infusion tube 441 being the inlet end of the infusion tube 44, and the outlet end of the first infusion tube 441 being the outlet end of the infusion tube 44. The functional preparation device 70 is disposed on the first infusion tube 441 and communicates with the first infusion tube 441. The dispensing device 20 has a first supply channel 2201 (refer to Figure 14), which communicates with the injection port 2034 and the outlet end of the first infusion tube 441. The power source 45 includes a water pump, which is disposed on the first infusion tube 441.

[0068] At this point, the dispensing device 20 can be an atomizing nozzle, which mainly breaks the surface tension of the liquid through external force, thereby forming fine droplets. This allows the liquid carrying the functional agent to be sprayed into the garment treatment chamber 10A in an atomized form. Furthermore, the atomized droplets are finer and more dispersed, covering the garment surface more evenly, increasing the contact area between the functional agent and the garment, thus improving the efficiency of the functional agent's action. This allows the garment to more fully absorb the functional ingredients, further enhancing the garment treatment effect.

[0069] For example, the atomizing nozzle may include at least one of a pressure atomizing nozzle, an ultrasonic atomizing nozzle, a centrifugal atomizing nozzle, and an impact atomizing nozzle. A pressure atomizing nozzle primarily utilizes high-pressure liquid ejected at high speed through the nozzle 2034, which breaks up upon friction with the surrounding air, thus forming droplets. An ultrasonic atomizing nozzle transmits high-frequency vibrations to the liquid via a piezoelectric transducer, causing a standing wave to form on the liquid surface; the breaking of the standing wave produces uniform micron-sized droplets. A centrifugal atomizing nozzle primarily atomizes the liquid by being thrown out by centrifugal force under the action of a rotating component. An impact atomizing nozzle primarily forms droplets by the liquid colliding with an obstacle (such as a splash plate) and breaking up. In other embodiments, the atomizing nozzle may also take other forms; in this application embodiment, the specific form of the atomizing nozzle is not limited.

[0070] The functional preparation device 70 is installed on the first infusion tube 441. When the liquid in the first infusion tube 441 flows through the functional preparation device 70, the liquid causes the functional preparation device 70 to release the functional preparation. This release method allows the functional preparation to be evenly integrated into the liquid, reducing the probability of uneven concentration and ensuring that the functional preparation can play a continuous and stable role throughout the entire garment treatment process, thereby improving the effect and quality of garment treatment. Furthermore, the rate at which the functional preparation device 70 releases the functional preparation can be controlled by controlling the flow rate and volume of the liquid, thereby improving the utilization rate of the functional preparation, reducing unnecessary waste, and lowering the cost of using the functional preparation.

[0071] Furthermore, by integrating the functional preparation device 70, the dispensing device 20, and the power source 45 onto the first infusion tube 441, the entire fluid supply device 40 becomes more compact, facilitating its installation and layout in various garment processing equipment 1. This also reduces the space occupied by the fluid supply device 40 within the housing 211, thereby reducing the overall volume of the garment processing equipment 1.

[0072] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, it can be understood that the water pump can be located on the side of the functional preparation device 70 near the dispensing device 20, or on the side of the functional preparation device 70 near the liquid supply box 41. Both configurations allow for the slow release of the functional preparation into the liquid, which then enters the clothing processing chamber 10A along with the liquid. In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the water pump and the functional preparation device 70 is not specifically limited.

[0073] Referring to Figure 5, in another specific embodiment, the infusion tube 44 includes a first infusion tube 441, the inlet end of the first infusion tube 441 being the inlet end of the infusion tube 44, and the outlet end of the first infusion tube 441 being the outlet end of the infusion tube 44. The functional preparation device 70 is disposed on the first infusion tube 441 and communicates with the first infusion tube 441. The dispensing device 20 has a first supply channel 2201 (refer to Figure 14) and a second supply channel 2301 (refer to Figure 14), both of which are communicated with the injection port 2034. The power source 45 can be an air pump, the air outlet of which is communicated with the first supply channel 2201, and the outlet end of the first infusion tube 441 is communicated with the second supply channel 2301.

[0074] At this point, the dispensing device 20 can be a two-phase flow nozzle, which is a device that achieves efficient atomization by simultaneously introducing two fluids (usually compressed air and liquid). Its core principle is to utilize the interaction between high-speed airflow and liquid to break the liquid into tiny droplets.

[0075] Referring to Figure 5, the airflow from the air pump creates a negative pressure within the dispensing device 20, allowing it to draw liquid from the supply box 41 through the first infusion tube 441. When the liquid flows through the functional preparation device 70 via the first infusion tube 441, it triggers the release of the functional preparation. Furthermore, the negative pressure accelerates the liquid's flow rate, allowing the functional preparation to dissolve more quickly and evenly. This efficient delivery method ensures that the functional preparation is delivered to the garment processing chamber 10A promptly and stably, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of garment processing.

[0076] Furthermore, the negative pressure suction method allows for more precise control of the liquid flow rate, thereby accurately controlling the release amount of the functional agent. By adjusting the power parameters of the air pump to change the magnitude of the negative pressure generated within the dispensing device 20, the dosage of the functional agent can be precisely adjusted according to different garment treatment needs, such as the material, quantity, and degree of staining, reducing waste of the functional agent.

[0077] It is understandable that the power source 45 can also be a steam generator. The inlet of the steam generator is set to receive liquid, the outlet of the steam generator is connected to the first supply channel 2201, and the outlet of the first liquid delivery pipe 441 is connected to the second supply channel 2301.

[0078] Specifically, the infusion tube 44 also includes a second infusion tube 442, through which the inlet of the steam generator can be connected to the supply box 41. In other embodiments, the inlet of the steam generator can also be connected to other supply devices through the second infusion tube 442. In this embodiment, no specific limitation is made.

[0079] Steam is supplied to the dispensing device 20 via a steam generator and a second infusion pipe 442, creating a negative pressure within the dispensing device 20. This allows the dispensing device 20 to draw liquid from the supply box 41 via the first infusion pipe 441, and the liquid to flow through the functional preparation device 70, which releases the functional preparation. This allows the liquid to carry the functional preparation into the dispensing device 20, enabling the liquid carrying the functional preparation to mix more thoroughly with the steam, forming finer and more uniform atomized particles that enter the garment treatment chamber 10A. These atomized particles can more widely and evenly cover the surface of the garment, greatly increasing the contact area between the functional preparation and the garment, and improving the uniformity and effectiveness of the garment treatment.

[0080] Understandably, by adjusting the parameters of the steam generator, such as the steam flow rate and pressure, the negative pressure within the dispensing device 20 can be precisely controlled, thereby precisely controlling the speed and flow rate of liquid drawn by the first infusion tube 441, so as to precisely control the release amount of the functional preparation and avoid waste of the functional preparation.

[0081] Referring to Figures 7 and 8, in one embodiment, in order to enable the garment processing device to have a longer service life, the garment processing device 1 further includes a release control element 80, which is disposed on the first infusion tube 441 and configured to control the opening and closing of the first infusion tube 441.

[0082] Referring to Figure 7, for example, the release control element 80 can be a control valve. When it is necessary to add the functional preparation, the control valve can be opened so that the negative pressure formed by the steam generated by the steam generator in the dispensing device 20 can draw the liquid in the liquid supply box 41 through the first liquid infusion pipe 441, and make the liquid flow through the functional preparation device 70, so that the functional preparation device 70 releases the functional preparation, thereby allowing the liquid to carry the functional preparation into the dispensing device 20, and then into the clothing processing chamber 10A.

[0083] When the functional preparation is not needed, the control valve can be closed. In this case, the negative pressure created by the steam generated by the steam generator within the dispensing device 20 prevents the liquid in the supply box 41 from being drawn through the first infusion pipe 441, allowing the steam generated by the steam generator to directly enter the garment processing chamber 10A. This allows for further control over the dispensing status of the functional preparation, resulting in a longer service life for the functional preparation device 70.

[0084] Referring to Figure 8, in other embodiments, the inlet end of the first infusion tube 441 and the inlet end of the second infusion tube 442 are respectively the two inlet ends of the infusion tube 44, and the outlet end of the first infusion tube 441 and the outlet end of the second infusion tube 442 are respectively the two outlet ends of the infusion tube 44. When the dispensing device 20 includes a dispensing device 20 and the power source 45 includes a water pump, the water pump can have two inlets and an outlet. The two inlets of the water pump are respectively connected to the two outlet ends of the infusion tube 44, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to... When the dispensing device 20 is connected, the release control element 80 can also be set in the first infusion tube 441 so that when the functional preparation needs to be dispensed, the release control element 80 can be opened so that the water pump can draw the liquid in the supply box 41 through the first infusion tube 441 and the second infusion tube 442, and make the liquid flow through the functional preparation device 70 so that the functional preparation device 70 releases the functional preparation, thereby allowing the liquid to carry the functional preparation into the dispensing device 20 and then into the clothing processing chamber 10A.

[0085] When the functional agent is not needed, the release control 80 can be closed. At this time, the water pump can draw liquid from the supply box 41 through the second infusion tube 442 and enter the garment processing chamber 10A through the dispensing device 20. In this way, the dispensing status of the functional agent can also be controlled, so that the functional agent device 70 can have a longer service life.

[0086] Referring to Figure 10, in one embodiment, the garment processing device 1 may further include a front support 50, and the garment processing cylinder 10 is connected to the front support 50.

[0087] Referring to Figure 9, in one specific embodiment, the functional preparation device 70 can be connected to the fluid supply device 40. In other embodiments, the functional preparation device 70 can also be connected to the front support 50. Alternatively, the functional preparation device 70 can be connected to both the front support 50 and the fluid supply device 40. In this case, the functional preparation device 70 is positioned on the spray path of the spray nozzle 2034, ensuring that the released functional preparation is carried into the garment processing chamber 10A by the fluid supplied by the fluid supply device 40. When the functional preparation device 70 is depleted, the user can directly replace it with a new one to provide the corresponding effect to the garment.

[0088] Specifically, the functional formulation device 70 includes a functional formulation, and at least the functional formulation in the functional formulation device 70 is replaceable.

[0089] More specifically, the functional formulation device 70 includes a housing having a receiving cavity in which the functional formulation is disposed; wherein the housing has an opening communicating with the receiving cavity, the functional formulation being interchangeably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity, and the functional formulation being able to be removed through the opening or added to the receiving cavity through the opening.

[0090] Understandably, a cover can also be provided at the opening to control the opening and closing of the opening, thereby reducing the probability of impurities entering the containment cavity.

[0091] In another embodiment, the housing can also be interchangeably connected to the fluid supply device 40. In other embodiments, the housing can also be interchangeably connected to the front support 50. Of course, the housing can also be interchangeably connected to both the fluid supply device 40 and the front support 50.

[0092] It is understood that the aforementioned replaceable connection methods include at least one of snap-fit, magnetic connection, and threaded connection. In other embodiments, there are no specific limitations on the replaceable connection method of the functional formulation device 70.

[0093] Referring to Figures 9 and 11, in this embodiment, since the functional preparation device 70 is located at the nozzle 2034 of the dispensing device 20, when the fluid is ejected from the nozzle 2034 of the dispensing device 20, it can enter the functional preparation device 70, thereby carrying the functional preparation released by the functional preparation device 70 into the clothing processing chamber 10A.

[0094] Referring to Figures 9 and 11, specifically, the functional formulation device 70 has a receiving cavity and an inlet and an outlet, both communicating with the receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is configured to store the functional formulation. The functional formulation device 70 is interchangeably connected to the side of the dispensing device 20 near the injection port 2034. The injection port 2034 of the dispensing device 20 is communicating with the inlet of the functional formulation device 70. When the power source 45 drives fluid to be ejected through the injection port 2034 of the dispensing device 20, the fluid can enter the receiving cavity from the inlet of the functional formulation device 70, so that the functional formulation device 70 releases the functional formulation, thereby allowing the fluid to carry the functional formulation into the garment processing chamber 10A through the outlet of the functional formulation device 70. The specific forms of the adaptable fluid supply device 40 and the dispensing device 20 have been described in detail above and are applicable to this embodiment, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0095] Referring to Figures 12-14, in one embodiment, the dispensing device 20 includes a main body 21, a first connector 22, and a second connector 23.

[0096] The main body 21 is the core part of the dispensing device 20, and its interior is provided with a dispensing channel 201. The downstream part of the dispensing channel 201 forms a Venturi channel 203 with a jet nozzle 2034. The Venturi channel 203 is a special fluid acceleration structure that utilizes the changes in fluid velocity and pressure at different pipe diameters to achieve efficient mixing and jetting of fluid and liquid.

[0097] In the fluid flow direction, the Venturi channel 203 consists of a first flow channel section 2031, a throat section 2032, and a second flow channel section 2033 connected in sequence. The first connector 22 is connected to the main body 21, and the connection method can be welding, integral molding, etc. The first connector 22 has a first supply flow channel 2201, which is connected to the power source 45. The first supply flow channel 2201 is configured to supply fluid into the delivery flow channel 201. The inner diameter of the first supply flow channel 2201 is defined as φ1, the inner diameter of the first flow channel section 2031 as φ2, and the inner diameter of the throat section 2032 as φ3, where φ3 < φ2 ≤ φ1. For example, φ3 satisfies 1 mm ≤ φ3 ≤ 2 mm. The second flow channel section 2033 is located after the throat section 2032, and its function is to guide the fluid, after being accelerated and mixed by the throat section 2032, to flow stably to the injection port 2034.

[0098] The Venturi channel 203 works as follows: When a fluid (e.g., steam or gas) enters the inlet channel 201 from the first connector 22 and flows into the Venturi channel 203, the fluid begins to converge initially and its velocity increases as it flows through the first channel section 2031. When it reaches the throat section 2032, the inner diameter suddenly narrows to φ3, and according to Bernoulli's principle, the fluid velocity increases sharply and the pressure drops significantly, forming a low-pressure region. This low-pressure region provides the basic conditions for the subsequent intake and mixing of the liquid. Afterward, the fluid enters the second channel section 2033, where the pipe diameter gradually increases, the velocity decreases, and the pressure gradually recovers, ultimately being ejected from the nozzle 2034 with higher kinetic energy and mixing effect.

[0099] For example, φ1 satisfies 5mm≤φ1≤7mm. This inner diameter range is set based on data from multiple experiments. On the one hand, a sufficiently large inner diameter φ1 ensures that fluid (such as steam or gas) can flow into the delivery channel 201 at a large flow rate and appropriate speed, providing sufficient fluid for the subsequent Venturi effect and avoiding insufficient flow due to an excessively small inner diameter, which would affect the subsequent mixing and spraying effects. On the other hand, limiting the inner diameter size can prevent excessive internal pressure due to excessive flow, ensuring the safety and stability of equipment operation.

[0100] In this embodiment, the second connector 23 is also connected to the main body 21, and the connection method can be welding, integral molding, etc. The second connector 23 has a second supply channel 2301 that communicates with the Venturi channel 203. The second supply channel 2301 is connected to the first infusion tube 441 and is configured to allow liquid drawn from the supply box 41 to flow into the delivery channel 201. Under the action of the Venturi channel 203, due to the pressure reduction in the throat section 2032, a pressure difference is formed at the connection between the second supply channel 2301 and the Venturi channel 203, thereby drawing the liquid in the second supply channel 2301 into the Venturi channel 203 and mixing it thoroughly with the fluid.

[0101] The inner diameter of the second supply channel 2301 is φ4, and for example, φ4 satisfies φ2<φ4≤φ1.

[0102] This inner diameter design ensures that the liquid can enter the Venturi channel 203 at a suitable flow rate. When φ4 is within the range of φ2<φ4≤φ1, it ensures that the liquid can be effectively drawn into the low-pressure region of the Venturi channel 203, without causing uncontrolled liquid flow due to an excessively large inner diameter, or restricting the liquid supply due to an excessively small inner diameter, thus affecting the mixing effect with the fluid.

[0103] In this embodiment, the injection port 2034 is located downstream of the Venturi channel 203 and is the final outlet for the mixed fluid. Its diameter is φ5, and for example, φ5 satisfies φ5≥2*φ3.

[0104] This nozzle design enables better spraying results. The larger nozzle diameter φ5 of the nozzle 2034 allows the mixed fluid to be sprayed into the garment treatment cylinder 10 at a relatively low speed and with a larger coverage area after leaving the Venturi channel 203. This avoids excessively high spray speeds caused by a small nozzle diameter, which could lead to uneven spraying or excessive localized impact on the garments. At the same time, it ensures that the fully mixed fluid and liquid can evenly cover the surface of the garments, improving the garment treatment effect.

[0105] Referring to Figures 12-14, in one embodiment, the main body 21 includes a shell 211 and a core 212.

[0106] The housing 211 is an important component of the main body 21, and includes a first housing 2111 and a second housing 2112. The first housing 2111 has an opening slot 2102, which facilitates the installation and assembly of the core 212. The second housing 2112 is connected to the first housing 2111, and the second housing 2112 closes the opening of the opening slot 2102 of the first housing 2111, thereby defining the mounting cavity 2101. Exemplarily, the second housing 2112 is connected to the first housing 2111 by a threaded connection.

[0107] This split-shell design 211 not only facilitates manufacturing and assembly but also makes it easier to maintain and replace the internal core 212. In one embodiment, the outer surface of the second shell 2112, away from the first shell 2111, has a diffuser 2103 communicating with the spray nozzle 2034. The diffuser 2103 can diffuse the mixed fluid ejected from the spray nozzle 2034, allowing the mixed fluid to be more evenly dispersed after leaving the spray nozzle 2034, further improving the distribution range of the mixed fluid within the clothing treatment drum 10 and ensuring that the mixed fluid covers the clothing more evenly.

[0108] The core 212 is housed in the mounting cavity 2101, and a Venturi channel 203 is formed within the core 212. The Venturi channel 203 is a key structure for achieving efficient mixing and spraying of the dispensing device 20 in this embodiment. It utilizes the changes in fluid velocity and pressure at different pipe diameters to achieve efficient mixing and spraying of fluid and liquid.

[0109] To ensure the sealing of the dispensing device 20, in one embodiment, a first seal 213 is provided between the core 212 and the first shell 2111, and a second seal 214 is provided between the second shell 2112 and the first shell 2111. The seal can be in the form of a sealing ring. The first seal 213 prevents fluid and liquid from leaking from the gap between the core 212 and the first shell 2111, ensuring that the fluid flows only within a preset flow channel, avoiding energy loss caused by leakage and potential damage to other components of the device. The second seal 214 ensures a tight connection between the first shell 2111 and the second shell 2112, preventing external environmental factors (such as dust, moisture, etc.) from entering the mounting cavity 2101, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and stable operation of the dispensing device 20, and improving the reliability and safety of the device.

[0110] Referring to Figures 12-14, in one embodiment, the dispensing channel 201 extends along the length of the core 212. The wall of the core 212 is provided with a suction channel 202 that connects to the Venturi channel 203. The suction channel 202 plays a key role in the dispensing device 20. Exemplarily, the suction channel 202 connects to the throat section 2032 or the second channel section 2033, and also connects to the second supply channel 2301, configured to draw in liquid. When fluid flows within the Venturi channel 203, especially when a low-pressure region is formed in the throat section 2032, the suction channel 202 connects to the throat section 2032 or the second channel section 2033, drawing liquid from the second supply channel 2301 into the Venturi channel 203, thus achieving liquid-fluid mixing.

[0111] In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the suction channel 202 is defined as φ6, wherein the ratio of the inner diameter φ3 of the throat section 2032 to the inner diameter φ6 of the suction channel 202 satisfies: 1 ≤ φ3 / φ6 ≤ 3. This ratio range is carefully designed based on fluid dynamics principles and has a profound impact on the fluid flow characteristics between the suction channel 202 and the throat section 2032. Specifically, a smaller ratio means that the suction channel 202 is relatively coarse, allowing a larger flow rate of liquid to enter the Venturi channel 203, thereby increasing the suction speed and total volume of liquid. This is particularly advantageous when a large amount of liquid needs to be mixed with the fluid, such as when processing a large volume of clothing or when a high concentration of care solution is required. In this case, the value of φ3 / φ6 can be set closer to 1. Conversely, a larger ratio means that the suction channel 202 is relatively narrow, and the liquid suction flow rate will decrease accordingly. This is suitable for scenarios where the liquid suction volume requirement is lower, such as for certain delicate clothing processing procedures that are sensitive to liquid dosage. In this case, the value of φ3 / φ6 can be set closer to 3 to achieve finer flow control. By adjusting this ratio, the dispensing device 20 can flexibly adjust the liquid suction flow rate according to different clothing processing needs, ensuring that the mixing effect of liquid and fluid is optimal.

[0112] Referring to Figures 12-14, in one embodiment, the main body 21 has a pressure relief port 2401 communicating with the dispensing channel 201, and the main body 21 is connected to an exhaust valve 24, which controls the opening and closing of the pressure relief port 2401. When the internal pressure of the dispensing device 20 is too high, the excess pressure can be discharged through the pressure relief port 2401, preventing damage to the device due to excessive pressure.

[0113] Referring to Figures 12-14, in one embodiment, the delivery channel 201 further includes a connecting channel 204 that connects the first supply channel 2201 and the Venturi channel 203, while the pressure relief port 2401 is connected to the connecting channel 204. This design ensures that if an abnormal pressure occurs when fluid enters the connecting channel 204 from the first supply channel 2201, the pressure can be released promptly through the pressure relief port 2401 and the exhaust valve 24, guaranteeing the safety and stability of the device operation.
