In order to clean and decontaminate the laundry, the laundry treatment apparatus is further provided with a dry cleaning agent injection system comprising an injection body disposed toward the laundry treatment chamber and communicating with the laundry treatment chamber, injecting the dry cleaning agent onto the laundry to be treated in the laundry treatment chamber.

Dry-cleaning agents are solvents that are effective in removing soil under anhydrous or micro-water conditions. Because the dry cleaning agent can effectively remove dirt under the condition of no water or little water, the clothes treatment cavity does not need to contain water to soak the clothes to be treated, namely, the clothes treatment equipment can clean the clothes without introducing a large amount of external water source (such as tap water).

In the present application, the specific components of the dry cleaning agent are not limited, and for example, the components of the dry cleaning agent include, but are not limited to, tetrachloroethylene, hydrocarbon solvents, and/or the like.

In the application, in order to effectively remove stains on clothes, a spray system is adopted to spray dry cleaning agent on the clothes. That is, the dry cleaning agent is adsorbed to the surface of the laundry by spraying, rather than soaking the laundry in the dry cleaning agent solution to adsorb the dry cleaning agent to the surface of the laundry. The spraying mode rather than soaking mode can raise the contact area between the dry detergent and clothing and reduce the dry detergent consumption. Compared with dry cleaning equipment, the dry cleaning agent using amount is greatly reduced, and distillation recovery of the dry cleaning agent is not needed, so that the structure of the clothes treatment equipment is greatly simplified, and the household use is realized.

After a user puts the clothes to be treated into the clothes treatment cavity through the clothes taking and putting opening, the door body 11 seals the clothes treatment cavity, and the clothes treatment equipment enters a working state to treat the clothes.

The clothes treatment equipment is provided with a circulating air duct which is communicated with the clothes treatment cavity, and air flows circularly in the circulating air duct and the clothes treatment cavity.

The circulation duct includes a dehumidifying duct 20 and a drying duct 30.

It will be appreciated that a condenser is provided in the dehumidifying air duct 20. The hot and humid air flowing from the laundry treating tub 12 into the dehumidifying air passage 20 is heat-exchanged with the condenser, and water vapor in the hot and humid air can be condensed into liquid and flow out after being cooled down, so that low-temperature drying gas flowing out of the dehumidifying air passage 20 enters the drying air passage 30.

It will be appreciated that the drying duct 30 is provided therein with a heating device and a blower. The heating device is used for heating the airflow. The fan forms an air flow by driving the air flow in the drying duct 30 during operation.

The drying duct 30 is located downstream of the dehumidifying duct 20 in the airflow direction. In the clothes drying process, the wet and hot air flow in the clothes treating barrel 12 enters the dehumidifying air duct 20, the dehumidifying air duct 20 cools the air flow so as to separate out redundant moisture in the air flow and change the redundant moisture into low-temperature drying air flow, then the low-temperature drying air flow enters the drying air duct 30, the drying air duct 30 heats the air flow and then changes the air flow into drying hot air flow, and the drying hot air flow reenters the clothes treating barrel 12, thereby realizing the recycling of the air flow in clothes treating equipment and reducing the power consumption.

The dispenser 40 is formed with a lotion chamber for storing lotion.

The specific components of the lotion formulation are not limited, e.g., the components of the lotion formulation include, but are not limited to, tetrachloroethylene, hydrocarbon solvents, and/or hydrocarbon solvents, and the like.

It should be noted that the related principles of air washing and the related devices are well known in the related art, and are not described herein.

Referring to fig. 1, the atomizing system 50 includes a pumping device 52, an atomizing device 53, a feeding channel 51 and a mist outlet channel 54, the atomizing device 53 is formed with an atomizing chamber 53d, the feeding channel 51 is communicated with the lotion chamber and the atomizing chamber 53d, the pumping device 52 is disposed on the feeding channel 51 and is used for pumping the lotion in the lotion chamber into the atomizing chamber 53d, and the mist outlet channel 54 is used for guiding mist in the atomizing chamber 53d to the door 11.

The pumping means 52 pumps the lotion in the lotion chamber through the feed channel 51 into the nebulization chamber 53d, where the lotion is converted from a liquid state into a mist state.

The mist outlet passage 54 communicates with the door 11 so that the atomized wash solution directly enters the laundry treating tub 12 through the door 11. The wash agent contacts the laundry in the laundry treating tub 12 to treat the laundry. In some embodiments, the mist outlet duct 54 may be a jet duct of a dry cleaning agent jet system, and the mist outlet of the mist outlet duct is formed as a jet of the jet duct.

The clothes treatment equipment in the embodiment of the application utilizes the atomizing device to atomize the liquid dry cleaning agent into the suspended liquid particles which can flow along with the airflow, and sends the atomized dry cleaning agent into the clothes treatment barrel 12 to be contacted with the clothes to be treated, thereby realizing the effect of the clothes treatment equipment in decontaminating the clothes. Compared with the traditional water washing mode, the method saves the consumption of water resources, and moreover, the atomized dry cleaning agent contacts with clothes in the form of liquid particles, so that the dry cleaning agent is less in dosage and more uniform in distribution, and the dry cleaning agent contacts with the clothes more fully, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the clothes.

In some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus further has a drying function. Specifically, the laundry treatment apparatus includes a circulation duct communicating with the laundry treatment chamber, and an air flow circulating in the circulation duct and the laundry treatment chamber. The circulation duct includes a dehumidifying duct 20 and a drying duct 30. It will be appreciated that a condenser is provided in the dehumidifying air duct 20. The hot and humid air flowing from the laundry treating tub 12 into the dehumidifying air passage 20 is heat-exchanged with the condenser, and water vapor in the hot and humid air can be condensed into liquid and flow out after being cooled down, so that low-temperature drying gas flowing out of the dehumidifying air passage 20 enters the drying air passage 30. A heating device and a blower fan are disposed in the drying duct 30. The heating device is used for heating the airflow. The fan forms an air flow by driving the air flow in the drying duct 30 during operation. The drying duct 30 is located downstream of the dehumidifying duct 20 in the airflow direction. In the clothes drying process, the wet and hot air flow in the clothes treating barrel 12 enters the dehumidifying air duct 20, the dehumidifying air duct 20 cools the air flow so as to separate out redundant moisture in the air flow and change the redundant moisture into low-temperature drying air flow, then the low-temperature drying air flow enters the drying air duct 30, the drying air duct 30 heats the air flow and then changes the air flow into drying hot air flow, and the drying hot air flow reenters the clothes treating barrel 12, thereby realizing the recycling of the air flow in clothes treating equipment and reducing the power consumption.

In some embodiments, after the laundry is cleaned, the dry-cleaning agent remaining on the laundry may be removed by drying. During the cleaning and drying processes, the laundry treating tub 12 may be rotated such that laundry is continuously tumbled in the laundry treating tub 12. In the drying treatment process, the drying air flow can be fully contacted with clothes, so that the drying time is reduced; in the cleaning process, the dry cleaning agent fog beads can be fully contacted with clothes, so that the cleaning efficiency is improved.

Illustratively, the heating device is positioned at the downstream of the fan to reduce the influence of the high temperature of the hot air flow on the normal operation of the fan and improve the service life of the fan.

The specific type of the fan is not limited, such as an impeller, an axial flow fan, and the like. Illustratively, the blower is a centrifugal wind wheel having a short axial dimension and a compact structure, so as to reduce the dimension of the blower, thereby facilitating the reduction of the external dimension of the laundry treating apparatus.

The specific type and installation manner of the heating device are not limited, and for example, the heating device is a heating wire arranged on the inner wall corresponding to the drying air duct 30, and the heating wire is used for heating the gas in the drying air duct 30 indirectly.

Illustratively, referring to FIG. 1, the dispenser 40 and atomizer 53 are located on opposite sides of the housing 60. The space on the left and right sides of the case 30 is conveniently and fully utilized, and the space utilization rate is improved.

In some embodiments, the atomizing system 50 includes a first delivery tube, the pumping device 52 being mounted at the rear of the dispenser 40, the first delivery tube connecting the liquid outlet of the pumping device 52 and the liquid inlet of the atomizing device 53. I.e. the inner conduit of the first transfer tube forms part of the feed channel 51. The first delivery tube is disposed along an inner sidewall of the housing 60. On the one hand, the extrusion of the first conveying pipe to the inner space of the box body 60 can be reduced, other parts are convenient to arrange, and on the other hand, the probability of collision and pulling of the first conveying pipe caused by moving other parts in the box body 60 in the assembling and overhauling process is also reduced.

In some embodiments, the atomizing device 53 has only one liquid inlet, such that the fluid medium within the atomizing device 53 is only a lotion. That is, it is explained that the lotion entering the atomizing chamber 53d does not need to be diluted, so that no special water inlet is needed to introduce water into the atomizing chamber 53d, and adverse effects of scale hardening in the atomizing chamber 53d caused by water quality influence and further of the effect of atomizing the lotion by the atomizing device 53 are reduced.

The specific structure of the atomizing device 53 is not limited, and for example, the atomizing device 53 may be an ultrasonic atomizing device or a heating atomizing device, or the like. Illustratively, the atomizing device 53 is an ultrasonic atomizer that breaks up liquid by high frequency oscillation of an atomizing plate to produce liquid particles in an atomized form.

In an embodiment in which the atomizing device 53 is an ultrasonic atomizing device, the oscillating frequency of the atomizing device 53 is 0.5MHz (Mega Hertz) to 1.5MHz. Thereby achieving a better atomization effect on the lotion. Moreover, the sound wave generated at the frequency is far beyond the hearing range of the human or animal, and does not harm the hearing of the human or animal.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6 to 10, the atomizing device 53 includes a box 531 and an atomizer 532, the atomizing chamber 53d is disposed in the box 531, the box 531 is provided with a feed inlet 53a and a mist outlet 53b, the feed inlet 53a is communicated with the atomizing chamber 53d and the feed channel 51, and the mist outlet 53b is communicated with the mist outlet 54 and the atomizing chamber 53d. The lotion enters the atomizing chamber 53d from the feed passage 51 through the feed port 53a, and the lotion in the atomizing chamber 53d is treated by the atomizer 532 to form a mist state, and then enters the mist outlet passage 54 through the mist outlet 53 b. The atomizer 532 is disposed at the bottom of the atomizing chamber 53d. So that the lotion accumulated in the atomizing chamber 53d is brought into contact with the atomizer 532, the probability that the lotion cannot be converted into a mist state by the action of the atomizer 532 in the case that the amount of the lotion stored in the atomizing chamber 53d is small is reduced, the conversion effect of the lotion is improved, and the residue of the lotion in the atomizing chamber 53d is reduced.

In some embodiments, a cover that can be selectively opened and closed is provided at the inlet 53a. When the liquid lotion in the atomizing chamber 53d is higher than the preset liquid level, the feed inlet 53a is closed by the sealing cover, so that more liquid lotion in the atomizing chamber 53d is prevented from overflowing from the mist outlet 53 b.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 10, an air inlet 53f is provided on the box 531, and an air supply mechanism 534 is provided on one side of the box 531 and blows air to the atomizing chamber 53d through the air inlet 53 f. The air flow generated by the air supply mechanism 534 drives the atomized lotion in the atomizing cavity 53d to flow out of the atomizing outlet 53b, so that the atomized lotion is promoted to enter the barrel assembly 10 to contact with the clothes to be treated more quickly, the generation of the follow-up atomized lotion is influenced due to the fact that the atomized lotion is accumulated in the atomizing cavity 53d, and the dry cleaning effect is improved.

The specific arrangement positions of the mist outlet 53b and the feed inlet 53a are not limited.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 10, the location of communication of the air inlet channel 53f with the atomizing chamber 53d is located at a sidewall of the atomizing chamber 53d. The air flow flowing out from the communication position of the air inlet channel 53f and the atomizing cavity 53d is prevented from directly facing the liquid lotion in the atomizing cavity 53d, so that the probability of overflowing caused by the fact that the liquid lotion is billowed under the blowing of the air flow is reduced.

It is understood that the communication position between the air inlet channel 53f and the atomizing chamber 53d is located at the upper portion of the sidewall of the atomizing chamber 53d, so as to reduce the probability of the liquid lotion flowing into the air supply mechanism 534 through the air inlet channel 53 f.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 10, the mist outlet 53b is located at the top wall of the mist chamber 53d. So that the atomized lotion can directly enter the mist outlet opening 53b into the mist outlet channel 54 in the course of naturally rising upwards. In addition, even if the splashed liquid lotion generated in the atomization process enters the mist outlet 53b, the splashed liquid lotion can fall back into the atomization cavity 53d under the action of gravity, so that the probability of the liquid lotion entering the mist outlet channel 54 is reduced. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6, both the mist outlet 53b and the feed inlet 53a are located on the top side of the box 531. So that more liquid lotion can be contained in the atomizing chamber 53d while reducing the possibility of liquid lotion escaping from the mist outlet 53b and the feed inlet 53a.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 9 and 10, the bottom wall of the atomizing chamber 53d is recessed downward. So that the liquid lotion can be concentrated in the recessed portions of the atomizing chamber 53d when the liquid lotion in the atomizing chamber 53d is small. The atomizer 532 is provided at the lowest position of the recessed portion. So that the atomizer 532 can always be kept in contact with the liquid lotion, and the utilization rate of the liquid lotion is improved.

In some embodiments, the atomizer 532 is a ceramic atomizer plate. The liquid lotion is atomized by the vibration of the ceramic atomizing plate.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, the atomizing device 53 includes a mounting base 538, the atomizer 532 is disposed on a top side of the mounting base 538, the box 531 is provided with a mounting opening, and the mounting base 538 passes through the mounting opening from bottom to top so that the atomizer 532 is disposed in the atomizing chamber 53d. The mounting block 538 seals the mounting port to prevent leakage of liquid lotion.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, the box 531 includes an upper housing 5311 and a lower housing 5312, the top side of the lower housing 5312 is open, and the upper housing 5311 covers the opening of the lower housing 5312 to form the atomizing chamber 53d. By separately manufacturing the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312 and then installing the two, the difficulty in forming the atomizing chamber 53d during the manufacturing process of the box 531 is reduced.

It is understood that the inlet 53a and the outlet 53b are located in the upper housing 5311.

The manner in which the seal between the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312 is achieved to prevent leakage of the liquid lotion is not limited.

In some embodiments, a weld is made along the seam location of the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312 to form a sealed connection between the upper housing and the lower housing.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, the atomizing device 53 includes a gasket 535, and the gasket 535 is clamped between the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312. So that the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312 can be disassembled and assembled, thereby facilitating subsequent repair and maintenance of the atomizing device 53.

It will be appreciated that the atomizer 53 includes a control board 536 disposed on the box 531, and that the atomizer 532 and the air supply mechanism 534 are electrically connected to the control board 536. The operation timing of the atomizer 532 and the blower mechanism 534 is controlled by the control board 536.

It should be noted that the specific structural form of the control board 536 and the control method adopted by the same are widely used in the related art, and will not be described herein.

Referring to fig. 2 to 5, the atomizing device 53 is detachably disposed on the housing 60, and the specific connection manner between the two is not limited.

For example, referring to fig. 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8, the inside of the top end of the case 60 has reinforcing ribs 61. The atomizing device 53 includes a hanging plate 533 disposed at the top end of the box 531, and the top end of the hanging plate 533 has a bending portion 5331, where the bending portion 5331 abuts against the top side of the reinforcing rib plate 61. Thereby restricting the position of the atomizing device 53 in the top-bottom direction and the left-right direction. Screws pass through the bending part 5331 and the reinforcing rib plate 61, so that the atomization device 53 and the box body 60 are detachably connected.

It will be appreciated that the specific manner in which the reinforcing ribs 61 are formed is not limited, and that the case 60 is made of sheet metal, for example, and the reinforcing ribs 61 are formed by bending inward. For another example, the reinforcing rib plate 61 includes a first plate extending in the left-right direction and a second plate extending in the top-bottom direction, the reinforcing rib plate 61 is fixed to the top edge of the right side plate of the box 60, and abuts against the hanging plate 533 through the first plate and the second plate, wherein the first plate abuts against the bending portion 5331 in the up-down direction, and the second plate abuts against the hanging plate 533 in the left-right direction.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6, the mist outlet 53b is sized larger than the feed inlet 53a. Since the liquid lotion increases in volume after atomization, the mist outlet 53b can discharge more volume of the atomized lotion per unit time to reduce the possibility of damage to the atomizing device 53 due to an increase in the air pressure in the atomizing chamber 53d.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 10, the atomizing device 53 includes a membrane 537, the membrane 537 being disposed on the airflow path of the air intake passage 53f and covering the cross section of the air intake passage 53 f. The membrane 537 is breathable but waterproof. For example, the membrane is waterproof polyester cloth. Air can flow unidirectionally from the air feed mechanism 534 side to the atomizing chamber 53d side, while the mist or the liquid lotion being oscillated is substantially unable to flow from the atomizing chamber 53d side to the air feed mechanism 534 side. On the one hand, the loss of the lotion is reduced; on the other hand, the cleaning agent protects the blower 534 and prevents the cleaning agent from entering the blower 534 and possibly corroding the components of the blower 534. The membrane 537 does not need to use an additional power device to control the unidirectional flow of the air flow, thereby reducing the number of required parts, lowering the cost and improving the reliability.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 10, the membrane 537 is disposed upright on the airflow path of the intake passage 53 f. The atomized liquid lotion can flow downwards along the membrane 537 after contacting the membrane 537, so as to reduce the probability that the atomized liquid lotion is always attached to the surface of the membrane 537 to influence the air permeability of the membrane 537.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the air blowing mechanism 534 is provided with a centrifugal wind wheel, and the air blowing mechanism 534 is disposed on a side surface of the box 531, for example, the air blowing mechanism 534 is disposed on a rear side of the box 531. The air supply mechanism 534 on the side surface can make the atomization device 53 compact in overall structure, and does not occupy the internal space of the atomization cavity 53d.

It can be understood that the air supply mechanism 534 is provided with a diversion volute, the centrifugal wind wheel is arranged in the diversion volute, and the air flow generated in the running process of the centrifugal wind wheel 534 is guided to flow into the atomizing cavity 53d through the diversion volute, so that the loss of the air flow is reduced, and the utilization efficiency of the air flow is improved. An air inlet is arranged on the diversion volute, so that the centrifugal wind wheel is continuously sucked into the diversion volute through the air inlet in the working process.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the air outlet 53c of the air supply mechanism 534 is located at the top side of the air supply mechanism 534, and the air outlet 53c is in communication with the inlet of the air inlet channel 53f in the up-down direction. Therefore, the air flow generated by the air supply mechanism 534 can enter the atomization cavity 53d after being diverted, the probability of rising of the liquid lotion caused by directly blowing the air flow onto the liquid lotion in the atomization cavity 53d is reduced, and the risk of overflowing of the rising liquid lotion is reduced.

The specific mounting location of the control board 536 is not limited. For example, referring to fig. 5 and 8, the outer side surface of the case 531 is provided with a mounting groove 53e, and the control board 536 is vertically provided in the mounting groove 53 e. The box 531 provides a mounting and securing location for the control panel 536. Meanwhile, the control panel 536 is arranged outside the box 531, so that the assembly, the debugging and the overhaul and the replacement in the use process of a subsequent user are facilitated, and the workload is reduced.

The various embodiments/implementations provided by the application may be combined with one another without contradiction.

The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, but various modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
