Referring to fig. 1 to 3, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a laundry treating apparatus including a laundry chamber 100a, a foam putting device 200, and a water inlet assembly 300.

The clothes-holding chamber 100a has a chamber wall without a drain passage. That is, there is no washing water in the laundry cavity 100a, and there is no need to drain water, that is, there is no need to inject washing water into the laundry cavity 100a. The laundry chamber 100a is for receiving and treating laundry.

Note that, the drainless passage is for the wall of the clothes-holding chamber 100a, and does not refer to the whole clothes-handling apparatus. It is understood that the laundry treating apparatus as a whole may be provided with or without a drain pipe.

It is understood that the laundry treating apparatus as a whole may be provided with or without a drain pipe. For example, the laundry machine adopts a condensing type laundry drying method, and the laundry machine is provided with a drain pipe for discharging condensing water for condensing and cooling hot air flow. For another example, the laundry treatment apparatus adopts a heat pump type laundry drying method, and the laundry treatment apparatus may be provided with a drain pipe for draining condensed water or the like condensed and separated from the hot and humid air stream; the laundry treating apparatus may collect condensed water without a drain pipe.

The foam dispensing device 200 is used to generate foam and dispense the foam into the garment cavity 100a. The foam is capable of cleaning laundry. Illustratively, the foam is capable of contacting with a stain on the garment to effect desorption of the stain, etc., thereby cleaning the garment. In this way, the foam is generated by the foam dispensing device 200 and dispensed to the laundry chamber 100a to clean the laundry in the laundry chamber 100a. The foam dispensing device 200 provides the laundry treating apparatus with a cleaning function.

The laundry treating apparatus cleans laundry using foam and in a non-soaking manner. Non-soaking means that there is no liquid water soaking. Illustratively, foam enters the clothes-holding chamber 100a, and the clothes are cleaned by the cleaning stock solution carried by the foam, and the clothes are not soaked by liquid water in the process.

The cleaning solution is in a liquid state before entering the foam dispenser 200, and is converted into foam in the foam dispenser 200.

For example, in some embodiments, the foam discharged from the foam dispensing device 200 may directly enter the clothes-holding chamber 100a without passing through a pipeline, and in other embodiments, the foam dispensing device 200 may be guided to the clothes-holding chamber 100a by a pipeline or the like.

The specific structure of the foam dispensing apparatus 200 is not limited as long as the cleaning stock solution can be foamed and discharged.

In other words, the foam is an aggregation of bubbles separated by a liquid film of cleaning stock solution. For example, the foam dispensing apparatus 200 can inject air into the cleaning stock solution such that the cleaning stock solution foams to form a foam. The foam can adhere to the clothes and contact with stains such as pigment and the like on the clothes to realize the effects of desorption and the like of the stains, thereby cleaning the clothes.

The water inlet assembly 300 connects an external water source with the foam dispensing apparatus 200 to supply water to the foam dispensing apparatus 200. The water inlet assembly 300 supplies water from an external source to the foam dispensing device 200 to generate foam, instead of being used to soak the laundry in the laundry compartment 100a. That is, the foam dispensing apparatus 200 serves to mix the cleaning stock solution with water from the water inlet assembly 300 and generate foam.

The clothes treatment equipment provided by the embodiment of the utility model utilizes an external water source to supply water to the foam throwing device 200 so as to dilute the cleaning stock solution in the foam throwing device 200 to a required concentration, thereby facilitating the foam throwing device 200 to generate foam. A large amount of foam can be injected into the clothes containing cavity 100a, so that clothes can be contacted with the foam in a large area, the clothes can be cleaned well, the clothes are cleaned by the non-soaking mode, the clothes do not need to be soaked in water, in addition, after the foam cleaning is finished, the water content of the clothes is not high, and water drainage is basically not needed. Compared with the water washing in the prior art, the foam can greatly reduce the water consumption under the condition of ensuring the cleaning capability to be approximately the same as that of the water washing, and can be suitable for the clothes treatment equipment without the water washing function.

The external water source may be water stored in a water tank, water filled by a user and/or tap water, etc.

In one embodiment, the water inlet assembly 300 is configured to connect to a tap water line. For example, the tap water pipeline continuously supplies water to the water inlet channel 310, so that tap water can be continuously supplied to the foam dispensing device 200, the water supply quantity is sufficient, a water storage structure such as a water tank can be omitted, and operations such as filling water into the foam dispensing device 200 by a user can be avoided.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the water inlet assembly 300 includes a water inlet channel 310 and a water inlet valve 320, the water inlet channel 310 is connected to the foam dispensing device 200, and the water inlet valve 320 is disposed on the water inlet channel 310 to selectively open or close the water inlet channel 310. The water inlet valve 320 can realize the on-off of the water inlet waterway 310, so that water supply or water cut-off can be conveniently carried out according to the foam throwing demand.

The fill valve 320 includes, but is not limited to, an electronically controlled valve such as a solenoid valve or the like. As such, the water inlet valve 320 can be controlled to be selectively opened or closed by the main control panel of the laundry treating apparatus. Thus, the water inlet valve 320 can be controlled to be opened and closed through the main control board, and automatic water inlet is realized.

It is understood that the main control board is used for controlling the start and stop of the laundry treating apparatus. That is, the main control board can be used for controlling the whole machine to run, so that the automatic control of the clothes treatment equipment is realized.

In some embodiments, the garment cavity 100a cannot rotate. That is, the clothes-holding chamber 100a remains fixed. The clothes receiving cavity 100a remains stationary during the process of treating the clothes. Taking a laundry treatment apparatus as an example of a laundry care cabinet, the laundry chamber 100a of the laundry care cabinet cannot be rotated.

The laundry treatment apparatus is a cabinet type laundry treatment apparatus, and in particular, the laundry treatment apparatus includes a cabinet 400, a cabinet door, and a laundry drying device disposed in the cabinet 400 and used for hanging laundry, wherein the cabinet 400 is provided with at least the laundry chamber 100a, a front side of the cabinet 400 is opened, and the cabinet door is disposed at an opening of the cabinet 400; the clothes airing device is hung on the upper portion of the Cheng Yi cavity 100a.

In this embodiment, the laundry is hung on the laundry device, the cabinet door is closed, and the laundry is hung, that is, the laundry is not tumbled during the laundry drying or cleaning process, so that damage to the laundry can be reduced, and the dried laundry is not wrinkled or entangled.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, the clothes-holding chamber 100a can rotate. Thus, during the rotation of the clothes receiving cavity 100a, the clothes receiving cavity 100a drives the clothes to move. Thus, laundry treatment efficiency can be improved. Taking the laundry treating apparatus as an example of the clothes dryer, the clothes receiving chamber 100a of the clothes dryer can be rotated.

Illustratively, the laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet 400 and a laundry drum 100, the laundry drum 100 being rotatably disposed within the cabinet 400. In this embodiment, the laundry drum 100 is rotated while putting foam into the laundry chamber 100a, so that sufficient contact between foam and laundry can be promoted, and laundry treatment efficiency can be improved.

In some embodiments, the garment-holding cylinder 100 is substantially cylindrical.

Illustratively, the cabinet 400 has a substantially hollow hexahedral structure, and the cabinet 400 includes a left support plate, a right support plate, a top plate, a cabinet front surface 410, and a rear plate, together forming an exterior surface of the laundry treating apparatus.

Illustratively, in some embodiments, the front side of the laundry drum 100 forms a laundry access opening, and a user accesses laundry from the front side of the laundry treating apparatus, which includes a door body coupled to the front surface 410 of the cabinet for opening or closing the laundry access opening. In other embodiments, the top side of the laundry drum 100 forms a laundry access opening, and a user accesses laundry from the top side of the laundry treating apparatus.

In the embodiment of the present utility model, the laundry access opening formed at the front side of the laundry drum 100 is described as an example.

Because the cavity wall of the clothes-holding cylinder 100 has no drainage channel, the circumferential side wall of the clothes-holding cylinder 100 is a continuous wall through which fluid medium cannot pass, i.e. the clothes-holding cylinder 100 is a hole-free inner cylinder. In the process of rotating the clothes-holding cylinder 100, the foam in the clothes-holding cylinder 100 cannot directly pass through the clothes-holding cylinder 100, so that the foam is prevented from flowing to the outside of the clothes-holding cylinder 100, the foam can be effectively remained in the clothes-holding cylinder 100, and the cleaning effect of the foam on clothes is ensured.

It is understood that the non-porous inner cylinder refers to: the radially circumferential side wall of the tub 100 may be free of any holes or a small number of holes, and the holes are closed by valves during foam cleaning of the laundry, so that the foam does not pass through the holes to the outside of the tub 100.

In some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus is of a single drum structure, and has only one drum, i.e., only the laundry drum 100, and the laundry drum 100 has no outer drum outside. In other embodiments, the outer surface of the clothes-holding cylinder 100 is further provided with an outer barrel, and in the case of the outer barrel, the circumferential side wall of the clothes-holding cylinder 100 is still a continuous wall.

The laundry treating apparatus has a laundry drying function.

In some embodiments, the laundry treatment apparatus employs an in-line dryer. The direct-discharge clothes drying mode refers to: the heating device is used for generating dry hot air flow and sending the dry hot air flow into the clothes containing cavity 100a, and the dry hot air flow is used for taking away the moisture of clothes in the clothes containing cavity 100a and directly discharging the moisture to the outside. Because foam cleaning is adopted, the utility model can greatly reduce water consumption under the condition that the cleaning capacity is approximately the same as that of water washing, is convenient for drying treatment after the foam cleaning treatment is finished, can save drying time and improve drying efficiency. After the clothes are cleaned, the clothes can be dried by utilizing air flow and residual cleaning stock solution dissolved with stains is taken away, and the air flow discharges water vapor and the residual cleaning stock solution dissolved with the stains to the outside, so that the effects of removing foam and drying the clothes are achieved.

Illustratively, the laundry treating apparatus includes an air duct 600, the air duct 600 being in communication with the laundry chamber 100a for providing an air flow to the laundry chamber 100a. It will be appreciated that the interior of the tunnel 600 has heating means for heating the air flow. When the heating device heats, the air duct 600 provides a hot air flow into the laundry chamber 100a to dry laundry by the hot air flow. For example, after the foam is adopted to clean the clothes, the hot air flow is utilized to dry the clothes and take away the cleaning stock solution and the moisture, so that the effects of removing the foam and drying the clothes are achieved.

In some embodiments, the laundry treatment apparatus employs a condensing type laundry drying mode. Illustratively, the laundry treating apparatus includes a condensation dehumidifying member for condensing and dehumidifying the air flow discharged from the laundry chamber 100a. Specifically, the hot and dry air flow in the air duct 600 flows to the clothes-holding chamber 100a, and during the process of flowing through the clothes-holding chamber 100a, the hot and dry air flow exchanges heat with clothes and takes away a part of water vapor to form hot and humid air flow, and the hot and humid air flow is discharged from the clothes-holding chamber 100a to contact with the condensation dehumidifying element, and because the water vapor in the hot and humid air flow is separated out due to temperature reduction, the air flow and the cold and dry air flow after condensation and dehumidification by the condensation dehumidifying element.

In some embodiments, the air flow discharged from the clothes-holding chamber 100a flows to the outside environment, i.e., the discharged air flow does not circulate into the clothes-holding chamber 100a. The air flow discharged from the clothes-holding cavity 100a is condensed and dehumidified by the condensing and dehumidifying part, so that the air flow and dry and cold air flow flowing to the external environment can reduce the influence on the humidity and temperature of the external environment, and the pollution of impurities such as flocks and the like wrapped in the air flow to the external environment can also be reduced.

In other embodiments, two ends of the air duct 600 are respectively connected to the clothes cavity 100a. In this way, the air duct 600 and the clothes-holding cavity 100a form a circulating air flow channel, and air flow can circulate in the clothes-holding cavity 100a and the air duct 600, so that on one hand, heat energy can be fully utilized, and on the other hand, adverse effects on the environment caused by direct discharge of air flow to the external environment can be avoided.

It should be noted that, the air duct 600 is provided with a heating device and a condensation dehumidifying member, and the heating device is disposed downstream of the condensation dehumidifying member in the airflow direction, that is, the hot and humid airflow flowing out of the clothes-holding chamber 100a flows through the condensation dehumidifying member first and then through the heating device. The condensing and dehumidifying piece is used for condensing and dehumidifying the air flow, and the heating device is used for heating the air flow.

The working process and the clothes drying principle of the clothes treatment equipment of the embodiment are as follows: the dry and hot air flow enters the clothes containing cavity 100a from the downstream of the air duct 600 along the air flow direction, in the clothes containing cavity 100a, the dry and hot air flow flows through the surface of wet clothes to perform heat-moisture exchange with the wet clothes to absorb moisture in the clothes and become wet and hot air flow, the wet and hot air flow enters the upstream of the air duct 600 and sequentially flows through the condensation dehumidifying part and the heating device, in the process of flowing through the condensation dehumidifying part, water vapor in the wet and hot air flow is separated from the air flow due to temperature reduction and is condensed into water drops, the wet and hot air flow is condensed and dehumidified by the condensation dehumidifying part to form dry and cold air flow, the dry and cold air flow is heated into dry and hot air flow when passing through the heating device, and the dry and hot air flow enters the clothes containing cavity 100a from the downstream of the air duct 600 again, so circulation operation is realized, and continuous drying of the clothes is realized.

The dry and cold air flow is a flow of wet and hot air, and the temperature of the dry and cold air flow is lower than that of the wet and hot air flow. The low temperature in the embodiments of the present utility model may be room temperature.

The specific types of the condensation dehumidifying and heating apparatus described above are not limited.

For example, in some embodiments, the condensation dehumidifying element is a water-cooled condensation dehumidifying element, specifically, a condensation water channel is formed in the condensation dehumidifying element, the condensation dehumidifying element is connected with cooling water, the cooling water exchanges heat with the hot and humid air flow in the process of flowing through the condensation water channel, the cooling water absorbs heat of the hot and humid air flow, water vapor in the hot and humid air flow is separated out from the air flow due to cooling and is condensed into water drops, the water drops are mixed into the cooling water and finally discharged, and therefore, the effect of dehumidifying and cooling the hot and humid air flow is achieved. The heating means may be resistive heating.

The laundry treating apparatus may employ a heat pump type laundry drying mode, and in some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus includes a condenser and an evaporator, both of which are disposed in the air duct 600. The refrigerant can circulate in the condenser and the evaporator. The circulating air flow is supplied to the laundry chamber 100a through the air duct 600. The refrigerant in the evaporator and condenser exchanges heat with the air flow in the air duct 600 to heat and condense the air flow. In the flow path of the air flow in the air duct 600, the air flow passes through the evaporator and then the condenser. Specifically, the evaporator is used for cooling and dehumidifying the hot and humid air flow from the clothes-holding cavity 100a to form dry and cold air flow, the condenser heats the dry and cold air flow into dry and hot air flow and then flows back into the clothes-holding cavity 100a, and the dry and hot air flow flowing back into the clothes-holding cavity 100a contacts with moist clothes to form the hot and humid air flow again, so that one drying cycle is completed. By repeatedly operating the drying cycle, the circulating air flow is continuously supplied to the laundry chamber 100a to dry the laundry.

In some embodiments, the laundry treatment apparatus further comprises a compressor and a throttling device, wherein the compressor, the condenser, the throttling device and the evaporator are sequentially connected in series through a pipeline to form a heat pump system, and the refrigerant can circulate in the heat pump system. The air flow in the air duct 600 exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator and the condenser to form a dry hot air flow.

The working principle of the heat pump system is as follows: the compressor sucks low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and compresses the refrigerant into high pressure and discharges the refrigerant; the discharged refrigerant in a high-pressure state enters a condenser, and the refrigerant in the condenser transfers heat to the air flow to be condensed into high-pressure liquid; the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is throttled and decompressed by a throttling device, and then becomes a low-pressure low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture to enter an evaporator; the refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs the heat of the airflow and changes into a low-pressure gaseous state; the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is sucked by the compressor again; and the circulation is repeated in this way, so that heat exchange is realized. That is, the evaporator is used for cooling and dehumidifying the hot and humid air flow from the clothes-holding cavity 100a to form a dry and cold air flow, the condenser heats the dry and cold air flow into a dry and hot air flow and then flows back into the clothes-holding cavity 100a, and the dry and hot air flow flowing back into the clothes-holding cavity 100a contacts with the moist clothes to form a hot and humid air flow again, so that one drying cycle is completed. By repeatedly operating the drying cycle, the circulating air flow is continuously supplied to the laundry chamber 100a to dry the laundry.

By way of example, both the evaporator and the condenser may be fin-tube heat exchangers.

Illustratively, the restriction includes, but is not limited to, an expansion valve or a capillary tube, or the like.

In one embodiment, the laundry treating apparatus includes a wind wheel for driving the air flow between the laundry chamber 100a and the air duct 600. Illustratively, the wind wheel is located in the wind tunnel 600. On the one hand, in the process of drying clothes, the wind wheel is used for driving air flow flowing through the clothes to sequentially flow through the evaporator and the condenser and then blow the air flow to the clothes to form circulating wind, so that the wind wheel can accelerate the air flow and improve the clothes drying efficiency. On the other hand, after the clothes are cleaned, the wind wheel can drive the airflow to flow, so that the foam dissolved with the stains and a small amount of water liquid on the clothes can enter the air duct 600 along with the airflow, and the water vapor in the airflow and the foam dissolved with the stains are both condensed into liquid in the air duct 600.

In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 3, the inlet valve 320 is positioned on the rear side of the foam dispensing device 200. Since the rear side of the laundry treating apparatus is generally directed toward the wall, a tap water is fixed to the wall, and a water inlet valve 320 is provided at the rear side of the foam casting device 200 so as to minimize the distance between the water inlet valve 320 and the tap water.

In one embodiment, the water inlet waterway 310 is connected to the water outlet of the water inlet valve 320 and the water inlet of the foam casting device 200. Illustratively, the inlet of the inlet valve 320 is connected to a tap water line. The water intake path 310 introduces water from the water intake valve 320 into the foam dispenser 200.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet 400, a laundry chamber 100a is located in the cabinet 400, and a water inlet assembly 300 is located in the cabinet 400 or outside the cabinet 400. Illustratively, the water inlet assembly 300 is located within the housing 400. Thus, the case 400 can protect the water inlet assembly 300, not only prevent the external objects from touching the water inlet assembly 300 by mistake, but also make the appearance of the laundry treating apparatus more neat and beautiful. Illustratively, the water inlet assembly 300 is located outside of the housing 400. By the design, the water inlet assembly 300 does not occupy the space in the box 400, and the design is more flexible.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 3, both the water inlet assembly 300 and the foam dispenser 200 are positioned in the cabinet 400 and are disposed in the upper half of the laundry treating apparatus. Because the lower half of the case 400 may further need to accommodate other structures such as a power motor for driving the laundry drum 100 to rotate, the lower half of the case 400 has a smaller space, and the upper half of the case 400 has a larger space, the water inlet assembly 300 and the foam delivery device 200 are both disposed at the upper half of the laundry treating apparatus, and the structure is made more compact by reasonable layout, thereby fully utilizing the space in the case 400.

The upper half of the laundry treating apparatus is a portion of the cabinet 400 above the symmetry axis extending in the horizontal direction. Taking the projection of the case 400 in the front-rear direction as a rectangle as an example, the symmetry axis of the case 400 extending in the horizontal direction is the median line of the rectangular projection of the case 400 in the front-rear direction.

Illustratively, the foam dispensing device 200 is disposed at the upper left or upper right of the garment-containing cylinder 100. The upper left refers to: in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the Cheng Yi cylinder 100, in a space between the circumferential outer surface of the laundry cylinder 100 and the inner wall of the case 400, a region higher than the rotation axis and located to the left of the center line of the rotation axis is provided. Similarly, the upper right refers to a region higher than the rotation axis and located to the right of the center line of the rotation axis.

The upper left or upper right of the tub 100 has a large space for installing the foam dispensing device 200, and the height of this location is convenient for adding the cleaning stock solution.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the laundry treating apparatus includes a stock solution container 500, and the stock solution container 500 is used to supplement the cleaning stock solution to the foam dispensing device 200. Specifically, the stock solution container 500 is used for storing cleaning stock solution. The cleaning stock solution is supplied to the foam casting device 200 through the stock solution container 500, so that the need for supplying the cleaning stock solution to the foam casting device 200 can be solved. Because the cleaning stock solution and the water solution from the water inlet assembly 300 are mixed and diluted in the foam dispensing device 200, the concentration of the cleaning stock solution in the stock solution container 500 can be relatively high, so that the volume of the stock solution container 500 can be reduced, and the stock solution container 500 can be stored and transported conveniently.

In some embodiments, the stock solution container 500 may be a single use device. After the cleaning stock solution in the stock solution container 500 is used up, the old stock solution container 500 may be taken out and the new stock solution container 500 may be replaced.

In other embodiments, the stock solution container 500 may be reusable. After the cleaning stock solution in the stock solution container 500 is used up, a user can pour the cleaning stock solution into the stock solution container 500, and the stock solution container 500 can be reused, so that the energy is saved and the environment is protected.

In one embodiment, the laundry treating apparatus includes a drawer in which the stock solution container 500 is detachably placed. The drawing box is disposed in the case 400 and can be at least partially drawn out of the case 400 through a drawing port of the case 400. The drawer provides a mounting location for the stock solution container 500. The drawer may be withdrawn or pushed back. For example, in the case where the stock solution container 500 needs to be replaced or the cleaning stock solution is added to the stock solution container 500, the drawing box may be drawn out, the stock solution containing solution may be removed, and a new stock solution container 500 or the stock solution container 500 to which the cleaning stock solution is added may be placed in the drawing box and pushed back.

Illustratively, in one embodiment, the front surface 410 of the case is formed with a pull opening. That is, the drawing direction of the drawing box is in the front-rear direction.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the laundry treating apparatus includes a spray head 700, and the spray head 700 is connected to the foam outlet 200a of the foam dispensing device 200 to dispense foam into the laundry chamber 100a. The foam outlet 200a is used to discharge the foam generated by the foam dispensing apparatus 200. Spray head 700 is capable of accelerating the foam. Illustratively, the foam is sprayed into the clothes cavity 100a through the spray head 700, and the foam has an initial velocity, so that the foam is convenient to be fully dispersed, the contact area between the foam and clothes in the clothes cavity 100a is larger, the discharge of the foam generated by the foam throwing device 200 can be accelerated, and the efficiency is improved.
