It will be appreciated that the cooperation between the structure of the mounting groove and the structure of the portion of the plasma generation device 10 inserted into the mounting groove facilitates the insertion and positioning of the plasma generation device 10 into the mounting groove.

Specifically, referring to fig. 7, the width of the installation groove is gradually narrowed in the insertion direction, the portion of the plasma generation device 10 inserted into the installation groove is gradually narrowed in the insertion direction, and the portion of the plasma generation device 10 inserted into the installation groove is abutted against the groove wall of the installation groove. It is convenient to align the plasma-generating device 10 with the card entrance during installation. The width of the mounting groove is gradually narrowed, so that the wall of the mounting groove plays a guiding role, and the plasma generating device 10 can be conveniently mounted to a preset position along the embedding direction. Through the butt joint of plasma generation device 10 and cell wall, on the one hand, can utilize frictional force between the two to carry on spacingly to plasma generation device 10, on the other hand, plays certain sealed effect through both butts to reduce the air current and the produced strong oxide matter of plasma generation device 10 and leak the possibility, improve the efficiency of disinfection and isolation.

It will be appreciated that auxiliary structures may be provided on the walls of the mounting groove and at the locations where the plasma generating device 10 is inserted into the mounting groove to improve sealing and friction. The groove wall of the mounting groove and/or the part of the plasma generating device 10 embedded into the mounting groove are made of elastic soft materials, such as rubber, silica gel and the like, after the plasma generating device 10 is embedded into the mounting groove, at least one of the groove wall of the mounting groove and the part of the plasma generating device 10 embedded into the mounting groove is deformed, and the friction force and the sealing property between the groove wall of the mounting groove and the part of the plasma generating device 10 embedded into the mounting groove are improved by the extrusion force generated by the deformation, so that the possibility of slippage of the plasma generating device 10 is reduced, and the disinfection and sterilization efficiency is improved.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, the plasma generation device 10 includes a power line 13, a cylindrical protective shell 11, and the electrode 12, the electrode 12 and the power line 13 are accommodated in the cylindrical protective shell 11, and the power line 13 is electrically connected to the electrode 12.

The power supply line 13 supplies high voltage power to the electrode 12, and generates high voltage discharge in the electrode 12 to generate plasma. The columnar protective shell 11 plays a role in protecting the electrode 12 and the power line 13, on one hand, the electrode 12 and the power line 13 are prevented from being in direct contact with external objects, and damage to the electrode 12 and the power line 13 caused by collision and friction is avoided; on the other hand, the user is prevented from directly contacting the charged electrode 12 and the power line 13, improving the safety of the laundry treating apparatus.

It can be understood that the column-shaped protective shell 11 is embedded in the mounting groove to avoid direct contact between the electrode 12 and the rear cover 20, and reduce the risk of electric shock of the user caused by the current conducted by the electrode 12 to the rear cover 20, and at the same time, the column-shaped protective shell 11 can have higher structural strength than the electrode 12, so that the column-shaped protective shell is embedded in the mounting groove to bear the higher extrusion force exerted by the wall of the mounting groove, and the mounting stability of the plasma generation device 10 and the sealing performance of the embedded position are improved.

In some embodiments, the protective cylindrical shell 11 is in the shape of a straight rod. The length from the power line outlet of the power line 13 on the back plate 31 to the inserting position of the inserted back cover 20 is short, so that the material is saved, the electromagnetic interference of the power line 13 to surrounding electric elements is reduced, the overall size of the plasma generating device 10 is correspondingly reduced, the appearance is simple, the manufacturing is convenient, and the production cost is reduced.

In some embodiments, the protective cylindrical shell 11 is substantially in the shape of a bent rod, for example, substantially L-shaped.

In some embodiments, the column-shaped protective shell 11 is located at the upper end of the rear cover 20, on one hand, the outer circumference at the upper end of the rear cover 20 has a large installation space, which facilitates the arrangement of the column-shaped protective shell 11, and on the other hand, the column-shaped protective shell 11 is as close to the outlet of the power line 13 as possible, which reduces the length of the power line 13.

It is understood that in some embodiments, the cylindrical protective shell 11 may be an integrally formed structure, thereby reducing the assembly process of the plasma generation apparatus 10 and improving the structural strength.

In other embodiments, the cylindrical protective shell 11 may also be composed of different parts, so that on one hand, the manufacturing difficulty of the cylindrical protective shell 11 can be reduced, and the production cost can be reduced, and on the other hand, different parts can be respectively matched with the electrode 12 and the power line 13, so as to improve the protection effect on the electrode 12 and the power line 13.

Specifically, referring to fig. 8, the column-shaped protective case 11 includes an electrode protective case 113, a line protective case 111, and a sealing member 112, the electrode 12 is disposed in the electrode protective case 113, and the power line 13 is disposed in the line protective case 111. The electrode protective case 113, the line protective case 111, and the sealing member 112 are independent components.

The electrode protection shell 113 is used for protecting the electrode 12, the circuit protection shell 111 is used for protecting the power line 13, the functions of the electrode protection shell and the circuit protection shell are separated, when any one of the electrode protection shell and the circuit protection shell is damaged, only the damaged component needs to be replaced independently, the integral replacement is not needed, and the later-period use and maintenance cost is reduced; in addition, the electrode protection shell 113 and the line protection shell 111 can be optimized individually according to the routing condition of the power line 13 and the shape of the electrode 12, so that the protection effect is improved specifically.

The electrode protection shell 113 and the line protection shell 111 can be manufactured by injection molding and integral molding, and can also be manufactured by splicing a plurality of plates.

It will be appreciated that in order to prevent the power line 13 and the electrode 12 from generating the leakage problem and causing injury to the user, the electrode protection case 113 and the line protection case 111 are insulated appropriately, for example, by using a plastic material.

The sealing member 112 is connected between the electrode protective case 113 and the wire protective case 111, and closes one end of the electrode protective case 113 near the sealing member 112. That is, the electrode shield 113 and the wire shield 111 are connected by the seal 112. The electrode protection shell 113 and the circuit protection shell 111 are separated through the sealing piece 112, and the sealing piece 112 is in sealing connection with the electrode protection shell 113, so that the probability that strong oxide substances generated after ionization enter the protection shell from the electrode protection shell 113 is reduced, the overflow of the strong oxide substances is reduced, and the sterilization and disinfection effects are improved.

In some embodiments, the back cover 20 is secured to the backplate 31, and the seal 112 is interposed between the back cover 20 and the backplate 31.

The sealing member 112 is sealingly fitted into the mounting groove by the fitting of the sealing member 112 to the back plate 31 and the fitting of the sealing member 112 to the back cover 20. The sealing element 112 separates the flow guide channel 20a from the outside, so that the probability of strong oxidation substances generated after ionization overflowing from the flow guide channel 20a is reduced, and the sterilization effect is improved.

It is understood that the sealing member 112 is made of an elastic material, and on one hand, the sealing member 112 deforms during the process of being inserted into the installation groove, so that the plasma generating device 10 can be installed; on the other hand, the sealing element 112 is embedded into the mounting groove to be deformed so as to improve the friction force and the sealing performance between the sealing element and the mounting groove, thereby reducing the possibility of slippage of the plasma generating device 10 and reducing the overflow of strong oxidation substances. The sealing member 112 may be made of rubber, silicone, or the like.

It can be understood that an auxiliary limiting structure may be disposed on the plasma generation device 10, the rear cover 20 or the backboard 31 to limit the dimension depth of the plasma generation device 10 in the rear cover 20, so as to facilitate positioning of the plasma generation device 10 in the assembling process and improve the assembling efficiency.

It is understood that the specific form of the auxiliary limit structure is not limited.

For example, referring to fig. 4, one of the sealing member 112 and the back plate 31 is provided with a positioning protrusion 1121, and the other is provided with a positioning hole into which the positioning protrusion 1121 is inserted. The positioning protrusions 1121 are abutted with the hole walls of the positioning holes, so that the installation position of the plasma generation device 10 is limited, and the risk that the plasma generation device 10 is displaced due to vibration and the like in the working process of the clothes treatment equipment is reduced.

It can be understood that the positioning protrusion 1121 is provided with an barb so that the positioning protrusion 1121 can hook the inner wall of the positioning hole after being inserted into the positioning hole, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the plasma generating apparatus 10.

It can be understood that the positioning protrusion 1121 is made of an elastic material, and the positioning protrusion 1121 is deformed during the process of being inserted into the positioning hole, so that the positioning protrusion 1121 can smoothly enter the positioning hole.

It is understood that the structure of the electrode protection case 113 or the line protection case 111 may be simplified by using the structure of the backplate 31 or the back cover 20 itself, thereby reducing material and manufacturing costs and facilitating maintenance.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4 and 8, the line protection case 111 is open to one side of the backplate 31 and attached to the backplate 31. The power line 13 is protected by a protection cavity formed by the circuit protection shell 111 and the backboard 31. The structural style of the circuit protection shell 111 can facilitate injection molding manufacturing, and the cost of a mold and raw materials is reduced. In addition, the circuit protection shell 111 can be directly observed through the open position after being detached from the backboard 31, so that the maintenance and the processing of a user are facilitated, and the user experience is improved. Furthermore, the structure form that one side of the line protection shell 111 is opened reduces the length dimension of the line protection shell 111 along the front-back direction of the clothes treatment equipment, so that the requirement that the plasma generation device 10 does not exceed the back side surface of the back cover 20 is conveniently realized, and the line protection shell 111 can relatively stably abut against the surface of the back plate 31 of the box body 30.

It is understood that, in order to facilitate the connection between the circuit protection shell 111 and the backplate 31, for example, a through hole may be provided on the circuit protection shell 111, and a threaded hole may be provided on the backplate 31, and a screw may pass through the through hole and be screwed into the threaded hole to fix the circuit protection shell 111. For another example, an elastic buckle is arranged on the circuit protection shell 111, a barb is arranged at the front end of the elastic buckle, a buckle mounting hole is formed in the backboard 31, and the barb of the elastic buckle can stretch into the buckle mounting hole and abut against the inner wall of the backboard 31, so that the backboard 31 is quickly connected with the circuit protection shell 111, the assembling time is saved, and the assembling efficiency is improved.

It will be appreciated that the specific construction of the seal 112, the electrode protective sheath 113 and the line protective sheath 111 are optimised for assembly of the seal 112 with both.

For example, referring to fig. 8, the sealing member 112 is snapped into the line protection cover 111 from the open position of the line protection cover 111 and abuts against the inner wall of the line protection cover 111. The connection between the seal 112 and the line protection casing 111 is achieved by friction and pressing forces between the two. The direction in which the packing 112 is caught in the line protection case 111 is the same as the direction in which the packing 112 is fitted into the mounting groove. For example, when the power line 13 inside the line protection shell 111 is maintained, the line protection shell 111 needs to be detached separately, and when the line protection shell 111 is separated outwards relative to the sealing element 112, an acting force in the same direction as the direction in which the sealing element 112 is embedded into the installation groove is applied to the sealing element 112, so that the sealing element 112 can be more stably located in the installation groove, the probability that the sealing element 112 is loosened and separated from the line protection shell 111 in the process of separating the line protection shell 111 is reduced, and the detachment efficiency is improved.

It is understood that positioning structures are provided on the electrode protection housing 113 and/or the wiring protection housing 111 to facilitate positioning of the sealing member 112 and both.

The specific form of the positioning structure is not limited.

For example, one end of the line protection shell 111 close to the sealing element 112 is provided with a rib extending inwards, the outer surface of the sealing element 112, which is used for being in contact fit with the line protection shell 111, is provided with a mounting groove, and the sealing element 112 can be clamped into the line protection shell 111 from the opening of the line protection shell 111, so that the rib is clamped into the mounting groove. The installation position of the sealing member 112 is limited by the cooperation of the convex rib and the installation groove, and the probability of separation between the sealing member 112 and the line protection shell 111 in the working process of the clothes treatment equipment is reduced.

For example, referring to fig. 9, two limiting posts 1111 are disposed in the circuit protection shell 111, the two limiting posts 1111 are disposed at intervals along the extending direction of the circuit protection shell 111, and one end of the sealing member 112 away from the back plate 31 is clamped between the two limiting posts 1111. The mounting position of the sealing element 112 is limited by the two limiting columns 1111, so that the probability that the sealing element 112 is displaced along the extending direction of the line protection shell 111 due to vibration and the like in the working process of the clothes treatment equipment, and is separated from the line protection shell 111 is reduced.

It can be understood that when the electrode 12 is in operation, glow can be generated due to the discharge, and a user can judge whether the electrode 12 is in normal operation by observing the glow. Accordingly, the arrangement of the components in the laundry treating apparatus should enable the user to observe the glow while performing the corresponding function.

For example, the electrode protecting case 113 may shield all the surfaces of the electrode 12 blown by the airflow in the guided channel 20a, or may shield only the surfaces of the electrode 12 directly blown by the airflow in the guided channel 20a, without affecting the user's observation of the glow generated by the electrode 12. The risk that the fluff generated in the drying process of the clothes is wound on the electrode 12 is reduced, the reduction of the service life of the electrode 12 caused by the melting or burning of the fluff is avoided, and the potential safety hazard in the using process is reduced.

Specifically, referring to fig. 9 and 10, the electrode protection case 113 is provided with an accommodating chamber 113a for accommodating the electrode 12, the accommodating chamber 113a is opened toward one side of the intake vent, and the plasma generated by the electrode 12 is discharged only through the opened portion of the accommodating chamber 113 a. On one hand, the electrode protection shell 113 can shield the windward side of the electrode 12, and prevent the lint from attaching to the electrode 12 along the airflow in the flow guide channel 20 a; on the other hand, the glow generated by the discharge of the electrode 12 can only be emitted from the opening, thereby being convenient for the user to observe.

It will be appreciated that an electrode 12 positioning groove is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 113a at the end of the electrode protective casing 113 remote from the sealing member 112, so that the electrode 12 is positioned during installation.

It is understood that a plurality of power line 13 passing holes are formed through the sealing member 112 so that the power line 13 in the wiring protective casing 111 passes through the power line 13 passing holes to be electrically connected with the electrodes 12.

In some embodiments, the plasma generation device 10 does not extend beyond the rear side of the rear cover 20 along the front-rear direction of the clothes treatment apparatus, so as to prevent the plasma generation device 10 from protruding beyond the rear part of the clothes treatment apparatus along the front-rear direction, thereby avoiding the increase of the length dimension of the whole machine along the front-rear direction; on the other hand, the rear cover 20 can protect the plasma generation device 10 to a certain extent, and the probability of the external object being rubbed against the plasma generation device 10 is reduced.

In some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus includes a door 32 provided to the front panel, the door 32 having a light transmission region, and the electrode 12 of the plasma generating device 10 is exposed to the air inlet such that glow generated by the electrode 12 can be observed from a front side of the light transmission region. When the clothes treatment equipment works, a user can observe the working condition of the plasma generating device 10 at any time, and the current starting and sterilizing functions of the clothes treatment equipment are intuitively observed through the glow of the electrode 12, so that the clothes treatment equipment has a better visualization effect, and the user experience is improved.

The various embodiments/implementations provided herein may be combined with each other without contradiction.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art.
