The laundry treating apparatus 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, a laundry treating apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an inner tub, an outer tub 100, and a sterilizing assembly 200. The inner drum is used for containing clothes so as to realize the treatment of the clothes.

The outer tub 100 is sleeved outside the inner tub, and the upper part of the outer tub 100 has a mounting passage 110.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the sterilization assembly 200 includes a mounting seat 210 and a plasma generator 220, the mounting seat 210 is fixed on the tub 100, the plasma generator 220 is disposed on the mounting seat 210, and the plasma generator 220 extends into the mounting passage 110. It can be understood that the plasma generator 220 is mounted on the tub 100 through the mounting seat 210 and extends into the mounting passage 110 at the upper portion of the tub 100, so as to realize a stable connection of the plasma generator 220 and the tub 100, improve the positional stability of the plasma generator 220, and thus ensure that the plasma generator 220 can stably operate.

Through setting up plasma generator 220 on mount pad 210 and plasma generator 220 stretches into in the installation passageway 110, installation passageway 110 and mount pad 210 cooperation still can play the effect of protection plasma generator 220, prevent that clothing processing apparatus 1000 from colliding and leading to the damage in the in-process of transport or sterilization subassembly 200 plasma generator 220 in the in-process of dismantling, prolong plasma generator 220's life to guarantee plasma generator 220's the sterilization, remove the flavor effect.

In the specific operation process of the clothes treatment device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the plasma generator 220 can generate a positive high voltage and a negative high voltage, so as to ionize oxygen and water in the air, and the ionization can generate high-energy active substances such as ultraviolet rays, electrons, ions, atoms and free radicals, which can destroy bacteria to achieve a sterilization effect, and simultaneously, the generated high-energy active substances can also react with odor molecules to decompose the odor molecules, thereby eliminating odor, so that the clothes treatment device 1000 according to the present invention has the effects of sterilizing and deodorizing clothes, thereby diversifying the functions of the clothes treatment device 1000 and improving user experience.

Specifically, when the laundry processing apparatus 1000 operates, the inner barrel is disposed inside the outer barrel 100 and rotates relative to the outer barrel 100, and simultaneously, the plasma generator 220 extending into the installation channel 110 ionizes the air around, and the air around is driven to flow due to the relative rotation between the inner barrel and the outer barrel 100, so that the high-energy active substance generated by ionization can directly enter the inner barrel through the installation channel 110, and further the laundry is sterilized, deodorized, and the like through the high-energy active substance, thereby improving the user experience.

It should be noted that, by arranging the mounting channel 110 on the upper portion of the outer tub 100, when the sterilization assembly 200 is arranged relative to the mounting channel 110, it can be ensured that the sterilization assembly 200 is arranged away from the inner tub, so that impurities such as fiber flocks and dust in the inner tub are prevented from being attached to the plasma generator 220 of the sterilization assembly 200 to affect the operation of the plasma generator 220, and meanwhile, too much influence of humid air in the inner tub on the plasma generator 220 can be avoided, thereby improving the stability and sterilization effect of the operation of the plasma generator 220, prolonging the service life of the plasma generator 220, and improving user experience.

By extending the plasma generator 220 into the installation channel 110, the distance between the plasma generator 220 and the inner cylinder can be reduced, so that the plasma generator 220 is arranged close to the inner cylinder, and thus the plasma generator 220 can directly ionize the air between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder 100, the flow path of high-energy active substances generated by ionization is further shortened, and the sterilization and odor removal efficiency of the plasma generator 220 is further improved.

It should be noted that the installation channel 110 not only facilitates installation of the sterilization assembly 200, but also, on the first hand, during the specific assembly process of the sterilization assembly 200, the installation position of the sterilization assembly 200 can be quickly positioned through the installation channel 110, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the sterilization assembly 200 and reducing the difficulty; in a second aspect, the installation passage 110 may define a position of the plasma generator 220, and prevent the plasma generator 220 from shaking, thereby improving positional stability of the plasma generator 220; in a third aspect, the installation channel 110 can guide the flow of the high-energy active substance, so as to ensure that the high-energy active substance, such as ultraviolet rays, electrons, ions, atoms, and radicals, generated by the ionization of the sterilization assembly 200 can flow toward the inside of the outer tub 100 along the extending direction of the installation channel 110, so as to enter the inner tub to perform the sterilization treatment on the clothes in the inner tub.

It can be understood that compare in prior art, the clothing processing apparatus 1000 of this application has the function of disinfecting, and the subassembly 200 that disinfects of this application sets up on outer bucket 100 and keeps away from the inner tube setting to the life of subassembly 200 that disinfects is prolonged, and stretch into plasma generator 220 in installation passageway 110, ensure that plasma generator 220 can be close to the inner tube setting, plasma generator 220 can effectively disinfect the clothing in the inner tube like this, with the bactericidal effect that improves plasma generator 220.
