Example one

The present embodiment provides a lint filter 10, which can be applied to a clothes processing apparatus having a drying function, and can also be applied to other apparatuses requiring air filtering. As shown in fig. 1-3, the lint filter 10 includes an end cap 12 and a housing 13, wherein the end cap 12 is connected to the housing 13 in a sealing and fixed manner, and preferably, the end cap 12 is open at one side of the housing 13 and is connected to the opening in a sealing manner.

The end cap 12 and the housing 13 together form a chamber, a water storage area 1 is disposed at the bottom of the chamber, and water is contained in the water storage area 1, and the water may be manually added or delivered by the clothes treatment device (such as condensed water). An air inlet 2 is provided in the housing 13, and the air inlet 2 is used for air carrying lint to enter. The air inlet 2 can be communicated with the clothes treatment equipment, so that the air with the thread scraps in the inner drum of the clothes treatment equipment enters the thread scraps filter 10 through the air inlet 2. The end cap 12 is provided with an air outlet 3, and the air outlet 3 is used for filtered air to pass through. The air outlet 3 can be communicated with a condensation channel of a drying module of the clothes treatment equipment, and enters the inner drum after being condensed by the drying module. In this embodiment, the air outlet 3 is preferably located higher than the air inlet 2.

Above-mentioned thread scraps filter 10, through communicateing in clothes treatment facility, in the drying process, the air that the inner tube carried the thread scraps can get into thread scraps filter 10 through air inlet 2 to by the water filtration in the water storage district 1, flow into clothes treatment facility's drying module through gas outlet 3 afterwards and carry out the condensation. Through above-mentioned structure, can filter most line bits to reduce the line bits that get into condenser or inner tube, the air of clean inner tube prolongs drying module's life, improves clothing processing equipment's drying performance and user experience.

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 13, and the other end of the blocking structure abuts against the end cap 12. This separate fender structure can separate into first cavity 4 and second cavity 5 with the cavity, and first cavity 4 and air inlet 2 intercommunication,

second cavity

5 and 3 intercommunications of gas outlet, the regional intercommunication under water through water storage area 1 between first cavity 4 and the second cavity 5. The air carrying the thread scraps can enter the first chamber 4 from the air inlet 2, and then is filtered by the water in the water storage area 1 and then is discharged from the second chamber 5 and the air outlet 3.

When the air is filtered, the lint filter 10 may generate a suction force at the air outlet 3 (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 3), and at this time, the suction force may disturb the water in the water storage area 1, and may cause the water in the water storage area 1 to contact with the blocking structure, the water is scattered by the blocking structure to form 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 3 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 5, and the trajectory of the water droplets forming 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 6 and a partition plate 7, wherein the blocking piece 6 is connected to one end of the partition plate 7 and extends into the water below the water surface of the water storage area 1. Through this baffle 7 and baffle 6, can separate into first cavity 4 and second cavity 5 with whole cavity, in addition, owing to separate the setting of baffle 6, also can make the water in the water storage district 1 and this baffle 6 contact formation splash that separates.

Furthermore, one end of the partition 7 is fixedly disposed at the middle position of the housing 13, the air inlet 2 is disposed at one side of the partition 7, and the air outlet 3 is disposed at the other side of the partition 7.

In this embodiment, the separation blocking pieces 6 may be one, and at this time, one end of the separation blocking piece 6 is connected to the partition board 7, and the other end extends into the water below the water storage area 1. When air filtration is performed, water in the water storage area 1 is scattered by the barrier sheet 6 and generates a sputtering effect to form water splash.

The separation blocking pieces 6 can also be two as shown in fig. 3, and in this case, the two separation blocking pieces 6 are arranged in a staggered manner, so that a gap can be formed between the two separation blocking pieces 6, and the gap is at least partially located in the underwater area of the water storage area 1. When air filtration is performed, water in the water storage area 1 in the first chamber 4 enters the second chamber 5 through the gap and is scattered by the barrier 6 to form water splash. At the same time, the air in the first chamber 4 can enter the second chamber 5 through the gap and be filtered by contacting with the spray. It will be appreciated that as air enters the second chamber 5 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 6 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 6 to better break the water flow to form water bloom.

In this embodiment, when the blocking pieces 6 are two, the water storage area 1 can be divided into a first water storage area and a second water storage area by the blocking structure, the first water storage area is located in the first cavity 4, the second water storage area is located in the second cavity 5, and the bottoms of the first water storage area and the second water storage area are communicated with each other. The hydroenergy in the first water storage area enters the second water storage area through the gap between the two separation blades 6, and the hydroenergy in the second water storage area flows back to the first water storage area through the communication part of the first water storage area and the second water storage area and/or the gap between the two separation blades 6.

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 3 through the gap, and in the absorption process, the water flow can be scattered by the baffle 6 to form water splash, and the air carrying the thread scraps can enter the second chamber 5 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 through a gap between the two separation blocking pieces 6.

Preferably, the volume of the first chamber 4 of the present embodiment is smaller than the volume of the second chamber 5, so that the air pressure entering the first chamber 4 can be increased rapidly, 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 5 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 3, resulting in an influence on the laundry treating apparatus. In this embodiment, the volume of the first chamber 4 is smaller than that of the second chamber 5, and the height of the first chamber 4 is smaller than that of the second chamber 5. Meanwhile, the air outlet 3 is matched to be higher than the air inlet 2, so that air can be better filtered.

In this embodiment, the case 13 is further provided with a weir 8, and the weir 8 is configured to filter air by allowing water to flow out through the weir 8 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 opening 8 is disposed opposite to the gap, and in order to prevent the splash formed through the gap from flowing out of the overflow opening 8, a shielding plate 14 is disposed inside the housing 13, and the shielding plate 14 is arc-shaped and disposed between the overflow opening 8 and the gap, and can shield the splash from the overflow opening 8. 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.

Further, a drain port 9 is opened in the bottom of the housing 13, and the drain port 9 can discharge water in the chamber. Preferably, a siphon assembly 11 may be connected to the drain opening 9, the siphon assembly 11 not performing siphon drainage when the water level in the chamber is at the normal filtered water level. When the water level in the chamber is higher than the water level in the siphon assembly 11, the siphon assembly 11 starts siphon drainage to drain all the water in the water storage area 1. In this embodiment, the siphon assembly 11 may be a special-shaped siphon pipe as shown in fig. 3, and the structure and principle thereof are similar to those of the siphon drainage of the toilet, and will not be described again. It will be appreciated that the water level in the siphon assembly 11 is higher than the overflow opening 8, and that when the siphon is draining, the water level in the water storage region 1 is higher than the water level in the siphon assembly 11, it will be appreciated that some water will be drained through the overflow opening 8.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, a drain valve may be directly disposed at the drain port 9 instead of the siphon assembly 11, and when the drain is needed, the drain may be performed by opening the drain valve.

Example two

The present embodiment provides a clothes treating apparatus, as shown in fig. 4, the clothes treating apparatus includes a lint filter 10, an outer tub 20 and a drying module (not shown in the figure) according to the first embodiment, wherein the lint filter 10 is installed outside the outer tub 20, an air inlet 2 of the lint filter 10 is communicated with an air outlet of the outer tub 20, and air in the inner tub can enter the lint filter 10 through the air outlet and the air inlet 2 of the outer tub 20. The air outlet 3 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 3 and enters the inner drum to be dried after being heated by the condenser of the drying module.

Meanwhile, a sealing member is arranged between the air outlet 3 and the condensation channel, and then the end of the lint filter 10 provided with the air outlet 3 is fixed on the drying module through a fastening member.

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 1 of the lint filter 10 through the air outlet 3 for the filtering of the lint filter 10.

Preferably, when the condensed water excessively flows into the water storage region 1 and the water level of the water storage region 1 reaches the overflow opening 8, the water may directly flow out through the overflow opening 8. And after the stoving, because the comdenstion water can continuously flow into water storage district 1 to make the water level of the water in the water storage district 1 rise fast, when the water level in the water storage district 1 is higher than the water level of the water in siphon subassembly 11, siphon subassembly 11 produces the siphon effect, carries out siphon drainage to the water in the water storage district 1, with the water in the drainage water storage district 1. It will of course be appreciated that the siphonic drainage of the lint filter 10 may also be achieved by feeding water directly into the chamber via the inlet conduit of the laundry treating appliance such that the water level in the water storage region 1 is higher than the water level in the siphon assembly 11.
