Detailed Description

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific embodiments should be interpreted as an explanation of the gist of the present application and should not be construed as undue limitation to the present application.

In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "first direction," "second direction," "height direction" orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in fig. 1, 2, 5, and 6, and it should be understood that these orientation terms are merely for convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the apparatus or element in question must have a specific orientation, be configured and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present application.

The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples.

In one aspect, the present application provides a laundry treatment apparatus, referring to fig. 1 to 3, including a tub and a base 10 according to any one of the present application.

Note that the specific type of the laundry treating apparatus 100 is not limited herein. The laundry treating apparatus 100 is used to perform washing, dehydrating, drying, etc. operations on laundry. For example, it may be a clothes dryer or a washing and drying integrated machine. Illustratively, the present embodiment will be described taking the laundry treating apparatus 100 as an example of a washing and drying integrated machine.

The tub is one of the tub and the drying tub 50. The laundry treating chamber, i.e., the type of the tub, may be selected as the washing chamber or the drying chamber 50a.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the drum located above the base is a laundry drying drum 50 having a laundry drying chamber 50a.

The washing and drying integrated machine can wash and dry clothes. The washing and drying integrated machine comprises a frame 60, a washing device, a clothes drying device and a base 10.

The frame 60 is a main supporting structure for fixedly mounting and supporting other parts of the washing and drying integrated machine.

The laundry device and the clothes drying device are vertically stacked in the height direction, and the base 10 is disposed between the laundry device and the clothes drying device and fixedly connected to the frame 60.

It is understood that the laundry device may be disposed above the laundry device in the height direction, or the laundry device may be disposed above the laundry device. Illustratively, the present application exemplifies a laundry dryer apparatus disposed above a laundry washing apparatus.

The washing apparatus is fixed to the frame 60 for performing a washing process on laundry, and includes a washing tub having a washing chamber formed therein for receiving the laundry.

The clothes drying apparatus is fixed to the frame 60 for drying the washed laundry while the clothes drying chamber 50a is formed therein.

The clothes drying device comprises a clothes drying cylinder 50, an airflow circulation channel, an evaporator and a condenser. A drying chamber 50a for accommodating laundry and a laundry putting opening from which a user can take and put laundry are formed inside the drying drum 50; the air circulation passage communicates with the clothes drying chamber 50a, and the air in the air circulation passage flows through the evaporator and the condenser.

Referring to fig. 2 and 7, the base 10 includes two storage areas 10a and an air duct 10b.

The two-unit storage area 10a is used for storing the heat exchanger 80. It will be appreciated that the heat exchanger 80 includes the evaporator and condenser mentioned above.

The laundry treating chamber communicates with the over-air duct 10b. I.e. the drying chamber 50a communicates with the over-air duct 10b, and the over-air duct 10b communicates with the two-compartment storage area 10a. That is, the air flow in the clothes drying chamber 50a enters the air passage 10b through the air circulation passage, and then flows into the two-unit storage area 10a through the air passage 10b.

It should be noted that the evaporator, the condenser, and the compressor constitute a part of a heat pump system, that is, the laundry treating apparatus 100 of the embodiment of the present application dries laundry using a heat pump technology.

The working principle of the heat pump system is as follows: the compressor sucks low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged at high pressure after being compressed by the compressor, the discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser and is cooled by normal-temperature air to be condensed into high-pressure liquid (simultaneously, heat is transferred to surrounding air), namely, the air around the condenser is heated to rise in temperature; the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is throttled and decompressed by the capillary tube, then is changed into a low-pressure low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture, and then enters the evaporator, wherein the liquid refrigerant is evaporated and refrigerated in the evaporator (simultaneously absorbs heat in ambient air), namely, the air around the evaporator is cooled and cooled, the generated low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is pressurized after being sucked by the compressor again, and the circulation is repeated, so that heat exchange is realized. The capillary tube may be replaced by an expansion valve.

The operation process and the clothes drying principle of the clothes treating apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present application are as follows: the dry hot air flow in the air flow circulation channel enters the clothes drying cavity 50a from the air flow circulation channel along the downstream of the air flow direction, in the clothes drying cavity 50a, the dry hot air flow flows through the surface of wet clothes, carries out heat-moisture exchange with the wet clothes, absorbs moisture in the clothes and becomes wet hot air flow, the wet hot air flow sequentially flows through the evaporator and the condenser, and in the process of flowing through the evaporator, the wet hot air flow is condensed and dehumidified by the evaporator to form low-temperature dry air flow, and the low-temperature dry air flow is heated into the dry hot air flow when passing through the condenser. The hot drying air flow enters the clothes drying cavity 50a from the downstream of the air flow circulation channel again, and the clothes drying cavity is circulated in this way, so that continuous and efficient drying of clothes is realized.

The heat pump type clothes drying device realizes high utilization of energy, low energy consumption, and the drying temperature of the heat pump system is far lower than the heating temperature of the electric heating element, so that the drying quality of clothes is ensured.

It will be appreciated that the air flow may bring flocks, impurities, etc. on the laundry into the two-unit storage area 10a during the process of flowing through the laundry, and adhere to the heat exchanger 80 under the action of the air flow, so that the heat exchanger 80 cannot directly contact with the air flow, thereby affecting the heat exchange effect between the air flow and the heat exchanger 80, and further affecting the drying effect of the laundry treating apparatus 100.

Based on this, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the laundry treating apparatus 100 further includes a screen assembly 20, and the screen assembly 20 is disposed upstream of the two-container storage area 10a in the air flow direction.

In the embodiment of the present application, the airflow direction refers to a direction moving toward the two-unit storage area 10a through the wind tunnel 10b.

The screen assembly 20 is capable of providing a filtering effect on lint, impurities, etc. in the airflow, thus reducing the risk of lint, impurities, etc. entering the two-device storage area 10a and adhering to the heat exchanger 80.

It should be noted that the filtering effect of the filter screen assembly 20 has a certain relationship with its own size, and thus, the filtering effect of the filter screen assembly 20 can be improved by installing the filter screen assembly 20 with a larger size as much as possible in a limited space.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the two-unit storage area 10a is disposed at one side of the base 10 and extends along a first direction.

The specific direction of the first direction is not limited. The whole may extend in a straight line direction or at least a part may extend in a curved line direction.

Specifically, the first direction may be understood as an extending direction of a side wall of the base 10 on the side where the two-container storage area 10a is provided. That is, the first direction may be understood as a straight direction. That is, the two-unit storage area 10a extends on a certain side of the base 10 and along the side wall extending direction of the side, so that the two-unit storage area 10a may be located at the circumferential side of the laundry treating apparatus 100 after the base 10 is used on the laundry treating apparatus 100.

The shape of the two-compartment storage area 10a is not limited. Illustratively, referring to FIG. 2, the top of the two-compartment storage area 10a is open, thus facilitating the demolding of the base 10.

Of course, in order to ensure that the two-unit storage area 10a is formed as a flow channel, referring to fig. 4, a cover 70 is disposed above the two-unit storage area 10a, and the cover 70 shields the top of the two-unit storage area 10a, so that air flow can flow through both ends of the two-unit storage area 10a along the first direction.

The air passage 10b comprises a first air passage section 10c and a second air passage section 10d which are arranged along a second direction, the first air passage section 10c is arranged at one end of the two-unit storage area 10a along the first direction, the air inlet end of the two-unit storage area 10a is communicated with the first air passage section 10c, and the second direction is intersected with the first direction.

The specific direction of the second direction is also not limited. The whole may extend in a straight line direction or at least a part may extend in a curved line direction.

In particular, the second direction is also understood to be the direction of extension of the side wall of a side of the base 10 that is adjacent to the side of the two-compartment storage area 10a. That is, the second direction may also be understood as a straight direction. That is, after the pedestal 10 is used on the laundry treating apparatus 100, the over-air duct 10b may be also located at the circumferential side of the laundry treating apparatus 100.

The angle between the second direction and the first direction is not limited, and may be related to the angle between two sides adjacent to the base 10.

Illustratively, when the base 10 has a substantially square structure, the first direction and the second direction may be orthogonal, and in this embodiment, the two-unit storage area 10a and the ventilation duct 10b may form an "L" -like flow path as a whole.

It should be noted that referring to fig. 1, the laundry treating apparatus 100 includes a drum, which is one of the laundry drum 50 and the laundry drum mentioned above.

In order to facilitate the rotation of the cylinder, the cylinder is generally provided in a cylindrical shape.

It will be appreciated that when the top and bottom walls of the base 10 are understood to be planar structures, there will be a large gap between the opposite sides of the cylindrical barrel and the base 10 in the direction of rotation of the barrel.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, that is, two opposite sides along the second direction, there may be a large gap between the cylinder and the base 10. That is, opposite sides of the base 10 in the second direction may be designed to have a larger size in the height direction.

The two-device storage area 10a and the first air-passing section 10c are located at one side of the second direction, the size of the first air-passing section 10c along the height direction is larger than the size of the second air-passing section 10d along the height direction, namely, the size of a part of the middle area of the base 10 along the second direction is smaller than the size of one side of the base 10, on which the two-device storage area 10a and the first air-passing section 10c are formed, along the height direction, so that the gap between one side of the base 10, on which the two-device storage area 10a and the first air-passing section 10c are formed, and the cylinder is reduced, namely, the space inside the clothes treatment equipment 100 can be fully utilized by the base 10, on the premise that the whole height of the clothes treatment equipment 100 is not increased, the size of the first air-passing section 10c and the two-device storage area 10a is increased, and the clothes drying performance of the clothes treatment equipment 100 is improved.

The manner of confirming the boundary between the first and second wind passing sections 10c and 10d is not limited. For example, when the screen assembly 20 is disposed in the over-air duct 10b, a boundary between the first and second over-air sections 10c and 10d may be defined by an edge of the screen assembly 20 closest to the second over-air section 10 d.

Another aspect of the present embodiments provides a base 10 as in the above embodiments.

The cylinder body is provided with a rotation center line, a first intersection point is formed by orthographic projection of the rotation center line along the height direction and the top of the side wall of the second wind passing section 10d, which is close to one side of the two-device storage area 10a, and the height of the top wall of the first wind passing section 10c is higher than that of the first intersection point.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, a drum is illustrated as a laundry drying drum 50.

The drum 50 is rotatable about a rotation center line, the side wall of the second wind-passing section 10d near the two-unit storage area 10a is located below the drum 50, the maximum dimension between the rotation center line and the peripheral wall of the drum 50 in the height direction is close to the dimension between the rotation center line and the first intersection point, and the first wind-passing section 10c is located at both sides of the rotation center line, so that the height of the first wind-passing section 10c can be higher than the height of the first intersection point.

The method of making the dimension of the first wind passing section 10c in the height direction larger than the dimension of the second wind passing section 10d in the height direction is not limited. Illustratively, the second and first wind-passing sections 10d and 10c are formed as stepped flow paths, i.e., the first and second wind-passing sections 10c and 10d are each formed as square flow paths from the perspective of the first direction, and the first and second wind-passing sections 10c and 10d differ in the dimension of the two in the height direction.

Of course, the first wind-passing section 10c itself may also be of stepped design. That is, the first wind passing section 10c is formed by combining a plurality of square flow channels, and the dimension of at least part of adjacent two square flow channels of the first wind passing section 10c in the height direction gradually increases along the direction of the second wind passing section 10d approaching the first wind passing section 10 c.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and 5, at least a portion of the top wall of the first wind passing section 10c is disposed obliquely upward in the second direction and forms a first inclined wall 11.

Specifically, along the direction of the second wind-passing section 10d approaching the first wind-passing section 10c, at least part of the top wall of the first wind-passing section 10c gradually slopes upwards, and the part of the top wall is the first sloped wall 11, so that the dimension of the first wind-passing section 10c along the height direction can be increased under the condition that the height of the bottom wall of the first wind-passing section 10c is unchanged.

The proportion of the first inclined wall 11 to the top wall of the first wind passing section 10c is not limited.

For example, the top wall of the first wind-passing section 10c may be formed entirely as the first inclined wall 11, that is, in the direction of the second wind-passing section 10d approaching the first wind-passing section 10c, the dimension of the first wind-passing section 10c in the height direction increases all the time.

Of course, it is also possible that a part of the top wall of the first wind-passing section 10c is formed as the first inclined wall 11, i.e. only a part of the first wind-passing section 10c is increased in size in the height direction.

When a part of the top wall of the first wind passing section 10c is formed as the first inclined wall 11, the position of the first inclined wall 11 at the top of the first wind passing section 10c is not limited.

For example, the first wind passing section 10c may be located on either side of the second direction, or may be located at an intermediate position of the first wind passing section 10c in the second direction.

The specific shape of the first inclined wall 11 is not limited. For example, with continued reference to fig. 2 and 5, the first inclined wall 11 is formed as a downwardly curved arc surface.

It will be appreciated that a better fit between the arcuate first inclined wall 11 and the cylindrical barrel is possible, such that a smaller amount of clearance is formed between the first inclined wall 11 and the barrel, thereby enabling a further increase in the height dimension of the first wind-passing section 10 c.

In other embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 2 and 5, at least a portion of the bottom wall of the first wind passing section 10c is disposed obliquely downward and forms a second inclined wall 12 along the second direction.

The design concept of the second inclined wall 12 is similar to that of the first inclined wall 11, so that the first inclined wall 11 can be referred to for design, and the action and effect generated by the second inclined wall 12 can be understood by referring to the first inclined wall 11, which is not described herein.

The specific shape of the second inclined wall 12 is not limited as well. With continued reference to fig. 2 and 5, the second sloped wall 12 is formed as an upwardly curved arc surface.

It will be appreciated that a better fit between the curved second inclined wall 12 and the cylindrical barrel is possible, such that a smaller amount of clearance is formed between the second inclined wall 12 and the barrel, thereby enabling a further increase in the height dimension of the first wind-passing section 10 c.

It should be noted that the structure of the base 10 for mounting the filter screen assembly 20 is not limited. In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 3, a mounting opening 10e is formed in the first wind passing section 10c, and the mounting opening 10e is located upstream of the two-unit storage area 10a along the airflow direction. That is, the air flows through the mounting opening 10e before entering the two-unit storage area 10a.

The mounting port 10e is for mounting the screen assembly 20 of the laundry treating apparatus 100. That is, the air flows through the filter assembly 20 and then enters the two-device storage area 10a, so that the air flows can be filtered and then enter the two-device storage area 10a to exchange heat with the heat exchanger 80, and the flock, impurities and the like wrapped by the air flow can be filtered out by the filter assembly 20, thereby reducing the risk of the flock, impurities and the like adhering to the heat exchanger 80.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, 3 and 6, the mounting opening 10e is disposed obliquely with respect to the first direction.

That is, after the screen assembly 20 is mounted to the base 10, the screen assembly 20 can be disposed to be inclined with respect to the first direction, so that the screen assembly 20 of a larger size can be used in the case that the flow area of the air flow is not changed or in the case of the same mounting size, to increase the area of the screen assembly 20, thereby further increasing the filtering effect of the screen assembly 20.

Of course, the mounting opening 10e may be provided obliquely to the height direction or obliquely to the second direction.

It will be appreciated that the mounting port 10e, provided it is inclined with respect to the direction of airflow, allows for the installation of a larger sized screen assembly 20 with a constant airflow area.

It should be noted that the specific angle at which screen assembly 20 is disposed in an inclined manner is not limited. Illustratively, when screen assembly 20 is disposed at an incline relative to the first direction, the included angle between screen assembly 20 and the first direction is in the range of 30 to 85, i.e., the included angle between screen assembly 20 and the direction of airflow is in the range of 30 to 85. The included angle between the screen assembly 20 and the first direction is, for example, 30 °, 35 °, 40 °, 45 °, 50 °, 55 °, 60 °, 65 °, 70 °, 75 °, 80 °, 85 °, and the like.

The manner of forming the mounting opening 10e is not limited. For example, referring to fig. 2, a step surface 13 facing away from the two-unit storage area 10a is formed on an inner wall of the first wind passing section 10c, and the step surface 13 defines at least a part of the mounting opening 10e.

Specifically, the step surface 13 and the inner wall of the over-wind duct 10b define a mounting opening 10e therebetween, and the step surface 13 can facilitate the fixation of the filter screen assembly 20. Illustratively, fastening holes may be provided on the step face 13, and the screen assembly 20 is secured into the fastening holes on the step face 13 by bolts, screws, or the like.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 3, screen assembly 20 does not exceed the inner wall of first wind turbine section 10 c. As such, the frame of screen assembly 20 does not form a barrier to airflow within first wind-passing segment 10c, which is relatively large in flow area.

The type of screen assembly 20 is not limited. For example, removable filter screen assembly 20 may be used and replaced after a period of use, thus continuously ensuring the filtering performance of filter screen assembly 20.

For another example, the filter screen assembly 20 may be non-detachable, and the non-detachable filter screen assembly 20 does not need to be replaced frequently, which is convenient for users.

It will be appreciated that the non-removable screen assembly 20 requires cleaning after a period of use to ensure its filtering effect.

To facilitate cleaning of filter screen assembly 20, in one embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 3, a mounting location 16 is provided on top of mounting port 10e, with mounting location 16 being configured to mount a cleaning assembly 30 for cleaning of filter screen assembly 20.

Through setting up the installation position 16, can be convenient for clean subassembly 30's installation, clean subassembly 30 passes through installation position 16 fixed mounting on base 10, can improve clean subassembly 30's stability and reliability.

The specific structure of the cleaning assembly 30 is not limited. Illustratively, the cleaning assembly 30 includes a spray tube having spray ports, at least a portion of which are disposed above the screen assembly 20 such that the spray ports spray cleaning media toward the screen assembly 20.

Specifically, the cleaning assembly is capable of ejecting cleaning media at a pressure and velocity toward screen assembly 20. Thus, when the filter screen assembly 20 needs to be cleaned, for example, before the clothes are dried and/or after the clothes are dried, the flock and the impurities on the filter screen assembly 20 can be cleaned by spraying the cleaning medium, so that the automatic cleaning of the filter screen assembly 20 is realized, the filter screen assembly 20 does not need to be manually cleaned, and the cleaning efficiency and the cleaning convenience of the filter screen assembly 20 are improved.

The specific type of the cleaning medium is not limited herein, and may be, for example, gas, water, a mixture of water and air, other cleaning agents, or a mixture of cleaning agents. Preferably, the cleaning medium is water, so that the cost is low, the use is convenient, and the cleaning requirement can be met.

The filter screen assembly 20 requires draining of the base 10 of used cleaning media. In some embodiments, the removal of cleaning media may be accomplished by pumping, etc.

Of course, the bottom wall of the first air passing section 10c may be provided with a water outlet 10h, the cleaning medium may be directly discharged out of the base 10 through the water outlet 10h, and the water outlet 10h may be communicated with a water drainage system of the washing device, so that the cleaning medium and the washing water for washing clothes may be discharged to the floor drain by using the same water drainage system.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the bottom wall of the first wind passing section 10c forms at least part of the third inclined wall 14. That is, the third inclined wall 14 may be entirely constituted by the bottom wall of the first air passing section 10c, or may be constituted partly by the bottom wall of the first air passing section 10c and partly by the bottom wall of the two-compartment storage area 10a.

The third inclined wall 14 is disposed obliquely upward in the flow direction of the air flow.

By the third inclined wall 14, the risk that the cleaning medium sprayed from the cleaning assembly 30 flows into the two-device storage area 10a can be effectively reduced, and after the cleaning medium is sprayed onto the third inclined wall 14, the surface of the third inclined wall 14 on the side close to the two-device storage area 10a is higher along the airflow flowing direction, the cleaning medium flows to the side far from the two-device storage area 10a on the surface of the third inclined wall 14, and when the water outlet 10h is formed on the base 10, the cleaning medium flows to the side of the water outlet 10h and is discharged out of the base 10 through the water outlet 10 h.

It will be appreciated that the drum 50 is generally disposed above the base 10. In order to facilitate the communication between the air passage 10b and the clothes drying chamber 50a, in an embodiment, referring to fig. 2, an opening 10f is formed on a top wall of the air passage 10b for connecting the air passage 10b with the clothes drying chamber 50a of the clothes processing apparatus 100, so that air flow in the clothes drying chamber 50a can enter the air passage 10b through the opening 10 f.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, 2, 4 and 5, a positioning portion 15 is provided on a top wall of the ventilation duct 10b, and the positioning portion 15 is used for positioning the front support 40 of the laundry treating apparatus 100.

It will be appreciated that a portion of the top wall of the over-air duct 10b is used to support the front support 40, and that assembly of the front support 40 may be facilitated by the positioning portion 15.

The type of the positioning portion 15 is not limited. Illustratively, the positioning portion 15 may be a positioning shaft, and the front support 40 is provided with a positioning hole, and the positioning shaft is matched with the positioning hole through a shaft hole, so that the positioning effect is better.

Specifically, the positioning portion 15 may be disposed at an end of the first wind passing section 10c remote from the second wind passing section 10 d.

It can be appreciated that, since the top wall of the air-passing duct 10b is provided with the opening 10f, the positioning portion 15 is disposed at the end of the first air-passing section 10c away from the second air-passing section 10d, so that the size of the opening 10f can be ensured as much as possible, thereby ensuring the flow of air and further ensuring the drying performance of the laundry treatment apparatus 100.

Further, the end of the base 10 far away from the first wind-passing section 10c along the second direction may also be provided with a positioning portion 15, that is, the two ends of the base 10 along the second direction are provided with positioning portions 15, so that the front support 40 will not rotate after being positioned on the base 10 through two positioning positions.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, a side wall of the first wind passing section 10c away from the two storage areas 10a along the first direction is provided with a die outlet 10g. In this manner, the ejector 10g may facilitate ejector of a portion of the over-air duct 10b in the first direction.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, when the top wall of the wind-passing wind channel 10b is provided with the opening 10f, the mold may be ejected through the opening 10f, however, when the top wall of the wind-passing wind channel 10b needs to be used for supporting the front support 40, the opening 10f may not extend completely to a side of the first wind-passing section 10c away from the second wind-passing section 10d, i.e. a part of the first wind-passing section 10c is blocked by the top wall thereof when being ejected in the top direction, and the first wind-passing section 10c may be ejected through the ejection opening 10g provided in the second direction, thereby facilitating the molding of the base 10.

Further, when the installation opening 10e is provided in the first air passing section 10c, the mold outlet 10g can facilitate the insertion of an assembling tool, so as to install the filter screen assembly 20 at the installation opening 10e.
