In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed description. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, however, the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those specifically described herein, and therefore the scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

The water box assembly and the clothes drying apparatus according to some embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 4.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a water box assembly 10 for a clothes drying apparatus, wherein the water box assembly 10 includes: a cartridge body assembly 100 and a water cartridge door cover 200.

Specifically, the cartridge assembly 100 includes a water cartridge 120. The water box 120 is formed with an accommodating space 121 suitable for accommodating water therein, and the water box 120 is provided with a water inlet 123 for allowing the accommodating space 121 to supply water, so that the water box 120 can satisfy a daily water storage (e.g., condensed water) function. The water box door cover 200 is connected with the water box 120, a gap 222 is formed between the water box 120 and the water box door cover 200, the gap 222 is used for being communicated with the inner space of the clothes drying equipment, and the gap 222 is communicated with the environment and is adapted to exhaust steam from the inner space of the clothes drying equipment to the environment.

The water box assembly 10 provided by the above embodiment of the present invention, except that the accommodation space 121 in the water box 120 can be used for storing water, compared with the existing water box 120 component, in this scheme, a gap 222 for exhausting steam from the inner space of the clothes drying equipment to the environment is formed between the water box door 200 and the water box 120, so that the moisture in the inner space of the clothes drying equipment can be exhausted to the outside of the clothes drying equipment along the gap 222, that is, the moisture in the inner space of the clothes drying equipment can be released outwards through the water box assembly 10, which is not only beneficial to improving the drying efficiency of the clothes drying equipment, but also effectively prevents the deposition of the moisture in the clothes drying equipment, thereby solving the problems of the electrical components such as the electric control board and the like, which are caused by the deposition of the moisture in the clothes drying equipment, such as short circuit and corrosion, and the design realizes that the water storage function and the steam exhausting function are integrated in the water box assembly 10, thereby realizing a multi-purpose, the function of the clothes drying equipment is expanded, the number of parts of the clothes drying equipment is relatively reduced, and the cost of the clothes drying equipment is reduced.

And this scheme is through utilizing the assembly structure (like gap 222) between water box door closure 200 and the water box 120 to form the passageway naturally and be supplied the outside steam extraction of inner space of drying the clothing equipment, not only make the product structure simple, make the product transformation more convenient simple, and this structure when dismantling water box door closure 200 and water box 120, can make gap 222 directly open, like this, it is more convenient to the washing of the passageway (gap 222) between water box door closure 200 and the water box 120, avoid clean dead angle, thereby promote the cleanability of product.
