In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the thread dust filter 10 is provided with a blocking structure in the chamber, and optionally, one end of the blocking structure is fixed in the housing 2, and the other end of the blocking structure abuts against the sealing cover 1. This separate fender structure can separate into first cavity 7 and second cavity 8 with the cavity, and first cavity 7 communicates with air inlet 4, and second cavity 8 communicates with gas outlet 6, and the regional intercommunication under water through water storage area 3 between first cavity 7 and the second cavity 8. The air carrying the thread scraps can enter the first chamber 7 from the air inlet 4, and then is filtered by the water in the water storage area 3 and then is discharged from the second chamber 8 and the air outlet 6.

When the air is filtered, the lint filter 10 may generate a suction force at the air outlet 6 (for example, the suction force generated by the drying module of the laundry treatment apparatus may also generate a suction force at the air outlet 6), and at this time, the suction force may disturb the water in the water storage area 3, and may cause the water in the water storage area 3 to contact with the blocking structure, the water is scattered by the blocking structure to form a splash, and the air may contact with the splash and be filtered by the splash. Due to the formation of the splash, the contact area of the air carrying the thread scraps and the water is increased, and the filtering effect is further improved. In addition, the size of splash can be decided according to the size of suction, and the size of splash can be increased by increasing the suction, and the contact area of air and water is increased. Otherwise, it will decrease. Of course, it is understood that the suction force at the air outlet 6 does not increase infinitely, and also needs to be determined according to the laundry treating apparatus to which it is mounted.

In this embodiment, the splash may be sputtered to a position at least half of the height of the second chamber 8, and the trajectory of the water droplets constituting the splash is approximately parabolic, so that the area of the splash is large enough, and the air can be sufficiently contacted with the splash for filtering.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the blocking structure includes a blocking piece 9 and a partition plate 11, wherein the blocking piece 9 is connected to one end of the partition plate 11 and extends into the water below the water surface of the water storage area 3. Through this baffle 11 and baffle 9, can separate into first cavity 7 and second cavity 8 with whole cavity, in addition, owing to separate the setting of baffle 9, also can make the water in the water storage district 3 and this baffle 9 contact formation splash.

Furthermore, one end of the partition 11 is fixedly disposed at the middle position of the housing 2, the air inlet 4 is disposed at one side of the partition 11, and the air outlet 6 is disposed at the other side of the partition 11.

When air filtration is performed, water in the water storage area 3 in the first chamber 7 enters the second chamber 8 through the gap and is scattered by the barrier sheet 9 to form water splash. At the same time, air in the first chamber 7 can enter the second chamber 8 through the gap and be filtered by contacting with the spray. It will be appreciated that as air enters the second chamber 8 through the gap, it may contact, i.e. be initially filtered by, the water in the gap and subsequently filtered by the water bloom formed, thereby achieving a dual filtering effect.

In this embodiment, further, the two separation blades 9 may be arc-shaped or bent structures, so that the formed gap is S-shaped or Z-shaped, and through the gap of this shape, the flow path of the water flow in the gap can be longer, thereby prolonging the contact time between the air and the water flow in the gap, and improving the filtering effect. In addition, the S-shaped or Z-shaped structure of the gap also enables the end part of the separation baffle plate 9 to better break the water flow to form water bloom.

In this embodiment, the water storage area 3 can be divided into a first water storage area and a second water storage area by the partition structure, the first water storage area is located in the first cavity 7, the second water storage area is located in the second cavity 8, and the bottoms of the first water storage area and the second water storage area are communicated with each other.

It should be noted that the water in the first water storage area can be absorbed into the second water storage area by the suction force at the air outlet 6 through the gap, and in the absorption process, the water flow can be scattered by the baffle 9 to form water splash, and the air carrying the thread scraps can enter the second chamber 8 through the gap, so that the air carrying the thread scraps can contact with the water flow in the gap and the water splash formed subsequently and be filtered.

When water in the first water storage area is adsorbed to the second water storage area and forms water splash, water in the second water storage area can flow back to the first water storage area through the bottom communication position of the first water storage area and the second water storage area or the gap between the two separation blocking pieces 9.

Preferably, the volume of the first chamber 7 of this embodiment is smaller than the volume of the second chamber 8, so that the air pressure entering the first chamber 7 can be increased quickly, and then the water in the first water storage area is pushed to the second water storage area by a certain pushing force. And the volume of the second chamber 8 is set to be larger, so that water entering the second water storage area can fall back to the second water storage area and/or the first water storage area through self gravity after being adsorbed to a certain height. It is prevented that the splash is excessively adsorbed to flow out from the air outlet 6, resulting in an influence on the laundry treating apparatus. In this embodiment, the volume of the first chamber 7 is smaller than that of the second chamber 8, and the height of the first chamber 7 is smaller than that of the second chamber 8. Meanwhile, the air outlet 6 is matched to be higher than the air inlet 4, so that air can be better filtered.

In this embodiment, the case 2 is further provided with a weir 13, and the weir 13 is configured to filter air by allowing water to flow out through the weir 13 when the water in the chamber is excessive so that a constant amount of water is always maintained in the chamber. The water in the chamber is prevented from being too much, so that the generation of water splash and the filtering effect are prevented from being influenced.

Preferably, the overflow hole 13 is disposed opposite to the gap, and in order to prevent the splash formed through the gap from flowing out of the overflow hole 13, a shielding plate 14 is disposed inside the housing 2, and the shielding plate 14 is arc-shaped and disposed between the overflow hole 13 and the gap, and can shield the splash from the overflow hole 13. And this shielding plate 14's setting also can play certain vortex effect, can further break up the splash, has improved the filter effect to the air.

The utility model also provides an outer cylinder, as shown in figure 4, this outer cylinder is equipped with the air outlet, and this air outlet communicates with air inlet 4 of thread scraps filter 10. The lint filter 10 may be directly formed integrally with the outer tub 20, or may be hermetically connected to the outlet of the outer tub 20 by a fastening member such as a bolt. For example, the end of the lint filter 10 provided with the air inlet 4 may be fixed to the outer tub 20 by providing a sealing member between the air inlet 4 and the air outlet and then fastening the end with the air inlet 4. Meanwhile, a sealing member is arranged between the air outlet 6 and the condensation channel, and then the end of the lint filter 10 provided with the air outlet 6 is fixed on the drying module through a fastening member.

The utility model also provides a clothing treatment facility, this clothing treatment facility include foretell urceolus 20 and drying module (not shown in the figure), and wherein line bits filter 10 installs in the urceolus 20 outside, and the air inlet 4 of line bits filter 10 and the air outlet intercommunication of urceolus 20, and the air of inner tube can get into in the line bits filter 10 through the air outlet of urceolus 20, air inlet 4. The air outlet 6 of the lint filter 10 is communicated with a condensation channel of the drying module (the drying module at least comprises a compressor, a condenser, a throttling element and an evaporator, the principle of which is the prior art and is not described again), so that the air filtered by the lint filter 10 enters the condensation channel through the air outlet 6 and enters the inner drum to be dried after being heated by the condenser of the drying module.

In this embodiment, above-mentioned stoving module can produce powerful suction, and then make 6 departments of gas outlet that communicate with condensing channel produce suction, this suction can make the water in the first chamber 7 get into the second chamber 8 through separating the fender structure and form the splash, also make the air that carries the thread crumbs that flows out from the inner tube simultaneously and get into the second chamber 8 through separating the fender structure, at this in-process, the air that carries the thread crumbs is filtered by the splash, the thread crumbs are stayed in the water, and the air after the filtration then gets into condensing channel through gas outlet 6.

In this embodiment, preferably, the condensed water generated by the condensation of the condenser flows into the condensing channel and finally enters the water storage area 3 of the lint filter 10 through the air outlet 6 for the filtering of the lint filter 10.

Preferably, when the condensed water excessively flows into the water storage region 3 and the water level of the water storage region 3 reaches the overflow hole 13, the water may directly flow out through the overflow hole 13. And after the stoving, because the comdenstion water can continuously flow into water storage district 3 to make the water level of the water in the water storage district 3 rise fast, when the water level in the water storage district 3 was higher than the water level of the water in siphon structure 12, siphon structure 12 produced the siphon effect, carries out the siphon drainage to the water in the water storage district 3, with the water in the drainage water storage district 3. Of course, it will be understood that the siphon drainage of the lint filter 10 may also be achieved by feeding water directly into the chamber through the water inlet pipe of the laundry treating apparatus such that the water level in the water storage region is higher than the water level in the siphon structure 12.
