That is, a cavity 2421 is formed at the end of the water inlet connector 242 connected to the plug 23 to facilitate the plug-in connection of the plug 23. Furthermore, the sidewalls of cavity 2421 may be provided with angled flat and/or angled curved surfaces such that the opening of cavity 2421 is flared, which can serve to guide at least a portion of plug 23 inserted into cavity 2421 past the flare. The flare may be disposed to extend upward in the connection hole 2411, or may be flush with the bottom of the connection hole 2411.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the screen support 21 includes a mounting bracket 211 and a drain opening 212. A channel for the circulation of the drying gas is formed inside the mounting frame 211; the drain port 212 is provided at the bottom of the mounting bracket 211 and communicates with the passage. The attachment structure 24 is disposed on the mounting bracket 211 and is at least partially positioned within the channel. Thus, when the filter cap 22 is installed, the plug 23 is positioned in the channel and connected to the connecting structure 24. The filter screen is also arranged in the channel and is used for filtering the drying air flowing into the channel. When the filter net is cleaned, the cleaning medium sprayed from the filter cover 22 washes the filter net, and then the cleaning medium is intensively discharged through the water discharge port 212.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the top end of the mounting bracket 211 is opened with a mounting opening 213 communicating with the passage, and the filter cover 22 is mounted to the mounting opening 213. In this way, the formed filter assembly 2 is not only compact in structure, but also the filter cover 22 is positioned above the filter screen, so that the cleaning medium can be sprayed out from the upper part of the filter screen to clean the filter screen, the dropping of the sundry chips during cleaning is facilitated, and the cleaning efficiency is improved. The connection between the filter cover 22 and the mounting frame 211 can be fixed by a screw-type fastener, and the connection is sealed by a sealing ring. Or the connection and fixation can be carried out by gluing; or fixed by clamping. In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the convenience of assembling and disassembling the filter cover 22, the filter cover 22 and the mounting frame 211 are connected and fixed by a clamping manner.

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the filter cover 22 includes a cover body 222. The cover 222 has a cavity 221 formed therein, and the cover 222 has a plurality of through holes for the drying air to flow into the channel, each of the through holes is not communicated with the cavity 221, and one end of the connector 23 is disposed on the cover 222. The through hole is used for carrying out the prefilter to the object that can enter into in the passageway, avoids great object accident to enter into the passageway and block up the passageway. In order to ensure the ventilation of the drying gas and enable the drying gas to enter the flow channel in time, a plurality of through holes are arranged and arranged along the length direction of the cover body 222, wherein the length direction is the direction of the maximum size of the cover body 222; the shape and size of the through hole can be specifically set according to the actual use requirement.

As shown in fig. 1, in the embodiment of the present invention, a chuck 224 for detachably connecting with the mounting frame 211 is further provided on the cover 222. Dop 224 is for can taking place elastic deformation to can realize the card and establish fixed component, and the correspondence is provided with the joint hole that supplies dop 224 to insert to connect on the mounting bracket 211. Thus, the clamping head 224 is connected with the clamping hole in the mounting frame 211, so that the filter cover 22 can be reliably fixed on the filter support. Further, a plurality of chuck heads 224 may be provided at intervals on the cover body 222, so that the stability of mounting can be improved.

The embodiment of the invention also provides a clothes treatment device which comprises the filter assembly 2, the clothes drying cylinder and the front support 35 (refer to fig. 1). The clothes drying barrel part forms a clothes drying cavity, clothes to be dried are placed in the clothes drying cavity, and dehydration drying is achieved under the treatment of drying gas. In the laundry drying process, the laundry drying drum needs to be rotated to adjust the laundry drying position, and thus, the laundry drying drum is movably supported by the front support 35. The front support 35 is fixedly connected with the frame, an opening 351 communicated with the clothes drying cavity is arranged on the front support 35, and clothes can be taken and placed into the clothes drying barrel through the opening 351. In practical arrangement, in order to install the filter assembly 2, a mounting hole (not shown) is formed in the front support 35, and the filter assembly 2 is installed in the mounting hole. Like this, filter assembly 2 is after the installation is fixed, and the stoving gas of input is last sucked and flows to filter assembly 2, realizes the miscellaneous bits filtering that smugglies smugglied secretly in the stoving gas through filter assembly 2, so circulation processing. When the filter screen needs to be further cleaned, the filter cover 22 is detached.

In some possible embodiments, it is preferable to open the mounting holes in the bottom of the front support 35. In this way, the impurity chips entrained in the drying gas can be brought into the filter assembly 2 as much as possible for filtering. The sundry scraps are prevented from falling and depositing in the clothes drying cylinder when entering the filtering component 2, and the cleanliness of sundry scrap filtering is effectively improved.

Specifically, the principle of the laundry drying process performed by the laundry processing apparatus is as follows: the air passes through the heater and is heated into hot and dry air, the dry air passes through the wet clothes to become warm and humid air, the warm and humid air passes through the condenser 30 (see fig. 5) to separate out moisture, and then becomes cold and dry air to be directly discharged, of course, the dry air can be input into the heater again to be heated again to become hot and dry air, and the cycle is changed, so that the aim of drying the wet clothes is achieved. In the process of drying clothes, the circulation flow of the drying gas is realized by the fan, the position of the fan can be arranged between the condenser 30 and the heater, and the drying gas cooled and dried in the condenser 30 is sucked by the fan and blown into the heater so as to realize the circulation flow of the drying gas among all parts. Of course, the position of the fan can be set at other positions as long as the driving of the gas can be realized. In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the laundry treating apparatus further includes a base 1, and the base 1 is at least capable of mounting parts such as a condenser 30 and a fan for performing a laundry drying function.

As shown in fig. 5, the base 1 includes a main body 11, an air duct 12, and an air guide 14. Specifically, the body 11 is internally formed with an installation space in which at least a condenser and a fan are installed. The air duct 12 is disposed on the body 11 for flowing the drying air therethrough. Thus, the dry air is discharged from the condenser 3, enters the air duct 12, and flows to the fan along the air duct 12. In order to improve the smoothness of the dry air flowing in the air duct 12, an air guide 14 is provided in the air duct 12 to guide the dry air to flow. In particular from the condenser 3 to the fan. That is, in the process of flowing the drying air in the air duct 12, the smoothness of flowing the drying air can be improved by guiding the air guide 14, so that the drying air can flow to the fan rapidly from the condenser 3, the retention time of the drying air in the base 1 is reduced, and the drying air on the base 1 can be led out rapidly.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the installation space includes a first installation site 111 for installing the blower and a second installation site 112 for installing the condenser 3, which are provided at intervals. The first mounting position 111 and the second mounting position 112 may be disposed in a manner that their center lines are on the same straight line and are spaced from each other; the first mounting position 111 and the second mounting position 112 may be arranged such that their center lines are not aligned with each other and are spaced apart from each other. And the duct 12 is located between the first installation site 111 and the second installation site 112 for drying air to flow through. Thus, the dry air is discharged from the condenser 3, enters the air duct 12, and flows to the fan along the air duct 12.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the wind guide 14 includes a first wind guide plate 141. The first air guiding plate 141 is disposed at an end of the air duct 12 close to the first mounting position 111, and is used for guiding the drying air to flow towards the fan. And the first air guiding plate 141 is provided with an air guiding structure 1411 for guiding the flow of the drying air. Thus, the drying air flows in the air duct 12 and is guided by the air guiding structure 1411 when passing through the first air guiding plate 141, so that the drying air can flow towards the fan, and the flow speed of the drying air can be increased by the suction of the fan, thereby improving the smoothness of the flow of the drying air in the air duct 12.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, in the embodiment of the present invention, the air guiding structure 1411 is preferably configured as an inclined plane, and the inclined plane is gradually curved toward the fan direction. In this way, the whole first air guiding plate 141 is in an arc shape gradually and continuously curved, and the curved direction faces the direction of the suction port of the fan, so that the drying air can flow towards the direction of the suction port of the fan through the guiding of the air guiding structure 1411.

As shown in fig. 6, the air guide 14 further includes a second air deflector 142. The second air guiding plate 142 is disposed at an end of the air duct 12 close to the second mounting position 112, and the second air guiding plate 142 extends toward the first air guiding plate 141 and is spaced from or connected to the first air guiding plate 141. Specifically, the second air guiding plate 142 may be a flat straight plate or a curved arc-shaped plate, and is actually disposed to guide the flow of the drying air, so as to enhance the smoothness of the flow of the drying air. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second air guiding plate 142 is a flat straight plate and is connected to the first air guiding plate 141. In addition, along the extending direction of the second air guiding plate 142, the distance between the second air guiding plate 142 and the inner wall of the air duct 12 corresponding to the bending direction of the air guiding structure 1411 gradually approaches. In this way, the drying air is gradually collected in the process of flowing along the second air deflector 142, so that the drying air can be intensively flowed to the fan.

As another implementation manner of the structure of the second air guiding plates 142, as shown in fig. 7, a plurality of second air guiding plates 142 may be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air duct 12, and the second air guiding plates 142 may be arranged on the same straight line. One second air guiding plate 142 closest to the first air guiding plate 141 is spaced from or connected to the first air guiding plate 141, and the other two adjacent second air guiding plates 142 are spaced from each other. Due to the arrangement, at least under the communication effect of the gap formed between the two adjacent second air deflectors 142 arranged at intervals, the whole air duct 12 can still keep the mutual communication of all the areas under the separation of the second air deflectors 142, so that the flow direction of the drying air can be automatically selected before the drying air passes through the first air deflector 141 in the flowing process, and the function of improving the smoothness of the flow of the drying air is achieved.

As shown in fig. 6, one end of the second air guiding plate 142 close to the second mounting location 112 is spaced apart from the second mounting location 112. In this way, the integrity of the end of the air chute 12 adjacent the second mounting location 112 is assured and is not partitioned. After the drying air flowing out of the condenser 30 enters the air duct 12, the flow direction can be selected according to the actual flow condition, and more processing air can flow to the fan by combining the suction effect of the fan.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the base 1 further includes two first side plates 16 and two second side plates 17 arranged at intervals, the air duct 12 is formed between the first side plates 16 and the second side plates 17, and the first side plates 16 and the second side plates 17 are both disconnected from the air guide 14, so as to prevent the air guide 14 from blocking the air duct 12. One end of the first side plate 16 and one end of the second side plate 17 extend to at least the first mounting position 111, and the other end of the first side plate 16 and the other end of the second side plate 17 extend to at least the second mounting position 112. By this arrangement, the integrity of the air duct 12 between the first mounting position 111 and the second mounting position 112 is ensured, and the drying air is prevented from leaking in the air duct 12.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the base 1 further includes a flow guide 10. The air guide 10 is disposed at least at one end of the air duct 12 close to the second mounting position 112 for guiding the drying air output from the condenser 30 to the blower. In this way, after the dry air is discharged from the condenser 30 and enters the air duct 12, the dry air can first flow toward the position of the air guide 14 by being guided by the air guide 10 during the flow, thereby improving the smoothness of the flow of the dry air.

Specifically, the flow guide member 10 may be a flat straight plate that is obliquely disposed on the premise of guiding the flow of the drying gas. In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the baffle 10 is bent toward the first side plate 16. Thus, the flow guiding member 10 is a curved arc-shaped surface, and two ends of the flow guiding member 10 are fixedly connected with the second side plates 17 respectively. Thereby, it plays a role of effectively guiding the drying gas to flow from the condenser 30 to the blower.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the base 1 further includes a drainage structure 13. The drainage structure 13 is disposed on the body 11, and is communicated with the air duct 12, and is used for guiding and draining water in the air duct 12. Specifically, since the dry air flows in the air duct 12, there is a problem that the water in the condenser 30 flows into the air duct 12 and is carried out by flowing into the fan along with the dry air. Therefore, the drainage structure 13 is disposed on the body 11 for draining the liquid in the air duct 12. The drainage structure 13 communicates the air duct 12 with the outside of the air duct 12. With the arrangement, the liquid flowing into the air duct 12 can enter the drainage structure 13, and then the liquid flowing out is timely discharged out of the air duct 12 through the drainage structure 13, so that the liquid flowing out is prevented from being brought into the first mounting position 111 along with the drying air and finally thrown out by the fan.

Specifically, the drainage structure 13 may be disposed in various ways, and may be formed on a side wall forming the air duct 12, such as a hole or a groove, for communicating the inside and the outside of the air duct 12. In the embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the drainage structure 13 is disposed in the air duct 12, and the rest portion of the drainage structure 13 extends from the inside of the air duct 12 to the outside of the air duct 12 and penetrates out of the air duct 12, so as to drain the liquid in the air duct 12 to the outside of the air duct 12.

Since the flow of the drying air in the air duct 12 is mainly achieved by the suction of the fan, in order to make the liquid in the air duct 12 flow to the drainage structure 13 as much as possible, the position of the end of the air duct 12 having the drainage structure 13 may be set lower than the end where the fan is located. Thus, the liquid in the air duct 12 will automatically flow to the drainage structure 13, which facilitates the drainage of the liquid in the air duct 12.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the drainage structure 13 includes a water chute 131. The water guide groove 131 is provided on the body 11, and one end of the water guide groove 131 extends to the second mounting position 112 and the other end of the water guide groove 131 extends to the first mounting position 111. The arrangement is such that the liquid can be guided away from the first installation position 111 as far as possible, and the length of the water chute 131 in the air duct 12 is extended as long as possible, so as to have more liquid collecting area, and the liquid in the air duct 12 can flow into the water chute 131 in time and be discharged. Specifically, the extended end of the water chute 131 is generally disposed in a straight line. Of course, the liquid that has been installed and flowed into the water guide channel 131 can be discharged smoothly and in time, and the extended end of the water guide channel 131 may be installed in a bent manner.

The water chute 131 is formed by being recessed into the main body 11, and thus, in order to allow the liquid in each position of the air duct 12 to flow into the water chute, a plurality of drainage ports communicating with the water chute 131 may be provided in the main body 11 to drain the liquid into the water chute 131. This can further enhance the effect of collecting and flowing the liquid in the air duct 12 into the water chute 131.

As shown in fig. 6, the drainage structure 13 further includes a separation groove 132. The separation groove 132 is disposed adjacent to the first mounting position 111 and in the air duct 12 to collect the liquid flowing to the first mounting position 111, and an end of the water guide groove 131 extending toward the first mounting position 111 communicates with the separation groove 132. Thus, the liquid flowing to the first mounting portion 111 can be collected by the separation groove 132, and the liquid can be prevented from entering the first mounting portion 111. And the separation groove 132 is communicated with the water guide groove 131, so that the liquid flowing into the separation groove 132 can flow to the drain hole through the water guide groove 131 and finally be drained by the drain hole.

As shown in fig. 6, in an actual arrangement, the separation groove 132 may be arranged vertically or obliquely to the extending direction of the water chute 131. That is, both ends of the partition groove 132 extend perpendicularly or obliquely toward the first side plate 16 and the second side plate 17, and are preferably connected to the first side plate 16 and the second side plate 17, respectively. In this way, the separation groove 132 serves to further block the liquid from flowing into the first mounting position 111, and reliably prevents the liquid in the air duct 12 from being brought into the fan.

As shown in fig. 6, the base 1 further includes a drain hole 15. The drainage hole 15 is disposed at an end of the body 11 near the second mounting position 112, and the water chute 131 is communicated with the drainage hole 15 for draining the liquid in the water chute 131. That is, the main body 11 is provided with the drainage hole 15, and the liquid in the water chute 131 is finally discharged through the drainage hole 15. The drain hole 15 may be connected to a liquid collecting device to collect the drained liquid.

As shown in fig. 6, the water discharge hole 15 is provided in the air duct 12 near one end of the second mounting location 112, i.e., near the condenser 30. And the entire drain structure 13 is also located within the air duct 12. With this arrangement, the liquid in the air duct 12 can enter the drainage structure 13 from any position of the drainage structure 13, and the liquid flowing into the drainage structure 13 flows in the direction of the drainage hole 15, and is finally discharged through the drainage hole 15.

Specifically, the drainage hole 15 may be disposed in a plurality of ways, and may be disposed on a side wall forming the air duct 12, and the lowest position of the drainage hole 15 is flush with the bottom of the air duct 12 or lower than the bottom of the air duct 12, so as to communicate the inside of the air duct 12 with the outside of the air duct 12, so as to ensure that the liquid in the air duct 12 can flow to the drainage hole 15. One end of the drain hole 15 may be directly disposed in the air duct 12, and the other end may extend to the outside of the air duct 12 toward the side of the air duct 12, so that the air duct 12 and the outside of the main body 11 may be communicated with each other. In the embodiment of the present invention, one end of the drainage hole 15 is disposed in the air duct 12, and the other end of the drainage hole 15 penetrates to the bottom of the body 11. That is, the drain hole 15 is provided in the air duct 12, extends toward the thickness direction of the bottom of the body 11, and penetrates the bottom of the body 11, so that the smoothness of the liquid discharged from the drain hole 15 can be improved.

As shown in fig. 6, the base 1 further includes a water stop 114. The water stop member 114 is disposed in the air duct 12 and spaced apart from the second installation site 112, a water collection tank 115 is formed between the water stop member 114 and the second installation site 112, the water discharge hole 15 is disposed in the water collection tank 115, and the water guide tank 131 may also be communicated with the water collection tank 115. Specifically, the water stop member 114 may be a plate-shaped member protruding from the body 11, and two ends of the water stop member 114 are connected to two opposite side walls of the air duct 12, and a notch is formed at a position of the water stop member 114 at least close to the water discharge hole 15, so that the water collection tank 115 can communicate with the air duct 12. With this arrangement, the liquid flowing out of the condenser 30 is first blocked by the water stop 114, and the liquid can be prevented from directly flowing into the air duct 12. Of course, it is understood that in some other possible embodiments, the water stop 114 may be a groove recessed into the body 11, which also can collect the liquid flowing out.

As shown in fig. 6, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is adopted that the drainage structure 13 is provided at a side close to the second side plate 17. By the arrangement, liquid in the air duct 12 can be collected, the drainage structure 13 is prevented from interfering the flow of the drying air in the air duct 12, and the smoothness of the flow of the drying air is ensured.

In this way, the water stopper 19 is extended toward the body 11 by a length sufficient to block the gap between the bottom surface of the upper cover 18 and the upper surface of the condenser 30, thereby reliably preventing the drying gas from flowing through the gap or reducing the speed of the drying gas flowing through the gap, and further blocking the water on the upper surface of the upper cover 18 and/or the condenser 30 from flowing out.

Specifically, the water stopper 19 may be circumferentially disposed according to the shape of the shell of the condenser 30, and an extended end of the water stopper 19 may be provided with an inclined plane and/or an inclined curved surface for guiding so as to provide a guiding function for an assembling position between the water stopper 19 and the condenser 30 when the upper cover 18 is coupled to the body 11. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the drying air is easily discharged from the rear end of the condenser 30 under the suction of the blower, the water is carried out from the upper surface of the rear end of the condenser 30. The trailing end is the end of the condenser 30 that is furthest from the air chute 12. Therefore, the water blocking member 19 is disposed at a position corresponding to the upper surface (upper left end in fig. 8) of the upper cover 18 and the rear end of the condenser 30, and extends in the width direction of the rear end of the condenser 30, the length of the extension is greater than or equal to the width of the rear end of the condenser 30, and the water blocking member 19 is preferably disposed in parallel with a side of the condenser 30 away from the air duct 12. Thus, the water can be prevented from flowing out from the rear end of the condenser 30 under the block of the water stopper 19. And the water deflector 19 is preferably provided as a plate-like member.
