The laundry treating apparatus 1000 and the filter assembly a on the laundry treating apparatus 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, since the filter assembly a is used in the laundry treating apparatus 1000, the filter assembly a will be hereinafter alternately described in describing the laundry treating apparatus 1000. Of course, the filtering assembly a in the present application is not only applicable to the laundry treating apparatus 1000 described below, but also applicable to other laundry treating apparatuses 1000 requiring filtering in drying.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a laundry treating apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: the washing machine includes a cabinet 100, a tub 400, a washing assembly 300, and a drying system 200, the tub 400 being provided in the cabinet 100. The laundry processing apparatus 1000 may also be a washing and drying machine or a dryer, and the laundry processing apparatus 1000 may also be other apparatuses having washing and drying functions (such as a dyeing apparatus). In which the laundry treating apparatus 1000 is dried in the tub 400, it can be understood that, when the laundry treating apparatus 1000 is a washing and drying machine, the laundry is also washed in the tub 400. For simplicity, the laundry treating apparatus 1000 will be described below by taking a washing and drying machine as an example.

The washing assembly 300 includes a housing seat 310, a detergent box 320, and a drawing opening 104 provided on the cabinet 100, wherein the detergent box 320 is drawably fitted at the drawing opening 104 between an extended position and a retracted position. The cartridge holder 310 is provided between the cabinet 100 and the tub 400, and the detergent box 320 is at least partially located in the cartridge holder 310 when in the retracted position. Here, the detergent box 320 serves to contain detergent, which may enter the tub 400 along with the running water when the laundry is treated. The detergent box 320 is provided to be drawable on the cabinet 100, and the detergent box 320 can be drawn out to an extended position when it is necessary to replenish detergent. And a cartridge holder 310 is provided to hold a detergent box 320 in the cabinet 100. Furthermore, there are some embodiments of the laundry treating apparatus 1000 having a water inlet (not shown) connected to the cabinet 310, wherein water flows from the cabinet 310 into the detergent box 320 and carries away a part of the detergent. The cartridge holder 310 is provided with a water outlet pipe 330 communicating with the tub 400, and water with detergent flows into the tub 400 from the water outlet pipe 330 to participate in the washing process. The principle and corresponding structure of the washing assembly 300 for flowing the detergent into the tub 400 with the water flow are the prior art, and are not described and limited herein.

The drying system 200 is provided between the cabinet 100 and the tub 400, and the drying system 200 includes: the air duct member 210, the evaporator 220, the condenser 230, and the fan 250 (as the fan 250 is located in the air duct member 210 in fig. 2 and 3), and the evaporator 220, the condenser 230, and the fan 250 are all disposed in the air duct member 210. The tub 400 has an inlet 401 and an outlet 402 spaced apart from each other, and both ends of the air duct member 210 are respectively communicated with the inlet 401 and the outlet 402. In use of drying system 200, both ends of air channel 210 are connected to tub 400 for holding laundry, and air channel 210 and tub 400 define an air circulation path (i.e., a path from outlet 402 of tub 400, along air channel 210, to inlet 401 of tub 400, and back to air channel 210 from tub 400). Under the driving of the blower 250, the air flow may circulate between the tub 400 and the air channel 210 to form a circulation wind, so as to gradually dry the laundry in the tub 400.

Specifically, after the blower 250 is activated, the air duct 210 provides hot and dry air flow to the tub 400, and in some cases, the clothes in the tub 400 may be continuously turned over. The moisture of the laundry is evaporated by heat absorption under heating of the dry hot air to form water vapor, and the air flow mixed with the water vapor is discharged from the air outlet 402 of the tub 400 and flows into the air duct 210. Then, the wet air first flows through the evaporator 220, the evaporator 220 absorbs heat to greatly lower the temperature of the air, the air is cooled, and then water vapor in the air is condensed to form liquid drops or water mist, and the liquid drops or water mist attached to the surface of the evaporator 220 can flow downward along the evaporator 220 under the action of gravity. After cooling, the humidity of the air is reduced, and then the air flows through the condenser 230 to form hot dry air. And then, the dry and hot air is returned to the tub 400 to dry the laundry in the tub 400, the dry and hot air absorbs moisture of the laundry in the tub 400 to be converted into damp and hot air, and the damp and hot air is blown out of the tub 400 again, and the cycle is repeated.

It can be seen from the principle analysis of the drying system 200 that the drying effect is not only affected by the heat exchange capability of the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230, but also affected by the air volume. The large air volume can enhance the fluidity and the flowing range of the air, enhance the heat exchange effect between the clothes and the air, enhance the heat exchange effect between the air and the heat exchange devices (the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230), and drive more humid and hot air in the barrel 400 to enter the air channel 210. To improve the drying effect, if the power of the evaporator 220, the condenser 230 and the fan 250 is simply increased, not only the energy consumption burden of the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 is increased, but also the size of the devices is generally increased, which results in an increase in the overall space occupied by the drying system 200 and an increase in the size of the laundry treatment apparatus 1000.

However, if the drying system 200 is arbitrarily arranged by simply increasing the cross-sectional flow area of the air duct 210, an excessive area is occupied. If other structures are to be installed on the laundry treating apparatus 1000, the locations where these structures can be installed are limited, and it is also necessary for the laundry treating apparatus 1000 to be large-sized.

In order to solve the contradiction that the space inside the cabinet 100 is limited and the air volume of the drying system 200 needs to be guaranteed, the present application proposes a filter assembly a of the clothes processing apparatus 1000, wherein the filter assembly a comprises a detergent box 320 and a filter box 241, and the filter box 241 is integrally formed on the detergent box 320, that is, at least a part of the filter element 240 is integrally formed with the detergent box 320, and the integral piece is referred to as the filter assembly a herein.

In some embodiments, the air filtering unit of the filter element 240 is a filter screen (not shown), and the filter screen may be integrally formed on the filter box 241, so that the filter element 240 is integrally formed with the detergent box 320. In some schemes, the filtering component a is an injection molding part, and the filtering net is placed in a mold before the filtering component a is injected, so that the filtering net and the filtering box 241 can be integrated. Of course, other solutions are also possible, and the filter screen and the filter assembly a are separately processed and then assembled.

The arrangement of the filtering component A can integrate the structures of the washing component 300 and the drying system 200, and develop another idea of increasing air volume in a limited space.

In particular, the washing assembly 300 of the laundry treating apparatus 1000 generally requires a large space. This is because the detergent box 320 is usually filled to a certain amount for multiple washing operations, and the washing assembly 300 is empty of flowing water. In addition, since the washing assembly 300 has water flowing therethrough, the fixing structure of the washing assembly 300 is required to be high so as to be able to withstand long-term water impact.

When the laundry treating apparatus 1000 is provided with the washing assembly 300 and the drying system 200, both of them occupy a large space, both of them need to bear the impact of fluid (water, air), and both of them have high requirements for installation and fixation. The present application selects to integrally form the filter box 241 on the detergent box 320, and structurally integrates the washing assembly 300 and the drying system 200, which helps to optimize the air circulation path by using the integrated space. In addition, the detergent box 320 can be stably maintained by the installation and fixation structure of the washing assembly 300, and the stability can be improved by the installation and fixation structure of the drying system 200, and the same is true for the filter box 241. Compare scattered installation fixed knot of each other and construct the integrated structure steadiness stronger, the ability that the integrated structure bore the impact in the vibration is stronger.

It is understood that if the washing assembly 300 and the drying system 200 are separately installed if they are independent of each other, a large space for avoiding interference between the two is required. However, the filter assembly a may be disposed without an escape space therebetween, and in some cases, the detergent box 320 and the filter box 241 may be formed as a common wall, and the omitted structural space is used for ventilation. The design of the direction of reducing the wind resistance in the air duct piece 210 is facilitated, so that the air quantity can be increased.

In addition, since the washing assembly 300 has water flow passing through, the water flow absorbs heat to keep the washing assembly 300 at a lower temperature. After the washing assembly 300 is integrated with the air duct 210, the hot and humid air flows through the washing assembly 300 and is pre-heated by the washing assembly 300 before flowing through the evaporator 220, so that more condensed water can be generated after the hot and humid air absorbs more heat.

The detergent box 320 and the filter element 240 can be connected seamlessly, and if no gap exists, the detergent box 320 and the filter element 240 cannot loosen, so that the air leakage probability is low.

Therefore according to the utility model discloses filter assembly A through with detergent box 320 and filter box 241 integrated into one piece, reaches the purpose that washing subassembly 300 and drying system 200 integrated mutually, can save dodging space and partial structure occupation space between the two like this, but leave the designable space grow in the air circulation route for drying system 200, be favorable to increasing the amount of wind. And when the air flow path is designed to flow through the washing assembly 300 first and then through the evaporator 220, the washing assembly 300 can perform pre-heat absorption to increase the condensation effect.

Similarly, according to the utility model discloses a clothing processing apparatus 1000, but filter assembly A's setting makes the design space grow of air circulation route, is favorable to reducing the direction design of windage with the inside orientation of wind channel piece 210 to the increase amount of wind. And when the air flow path is designed to flow through the washing assembly 300 first and then through the evaporator 220, the washing assembly 300 can perform pre-heat absorption to increase the condensation effect. In addition, the integrated structure of the washing assembly 300 and the drying system 200 has more stable installation and stronger ability to bear impact in vibration.

In some embodiments, the drying system 200 is a heat pump drying system. The heat pump drying system further comprises: a compressor, a throttling device (not shown), and the like, the compressor, the throttling device, the condenser 230, and the evaporator 220 define a refrigerant circulation path. The throttle device is connected between the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230, and the compressor is connected to the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230, respectively. The throttling device may be a mechanical throttle, an electronic expansion valve, a thermal expansion valve, or a throttle solenoid valve, and is not limited herein. In some schemes, the throttling device is a capillary tube, so that the throttling device and other parts of the system are conveniently and compactly arranged, the occupied space is reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

In some schemes, a drying filter is arranged between the evaporator and the condenser. When the heat pump drying system works, the compressor compresses the refrigerant in the compressor into high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant is pumped into the condenser 230 to release heat and be condensed into liquid refrigerant, then the refrigerant is filtered by the drying filter to remove impurities, and is throttled by the throttling device to become low-temperature low-pressure liquid refrigerant, the low-temperature low-pressure liquid refrigerant flows into the evaporator 220 to absorb heat and be evaporated to form low-temperature low-pressure gaseous refrigerant or gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, finally the refrigerant in the evaporator 220 flows back to the compressor to be compressed again, and the cycle is repeated.

In another embodiment, an electric heating device is further added at the condenser, and even the condenser 230 uses the electric heating device as a main heat source, so as to increase the drying effect on the laundry.

In the heat pump drying system, the compressor is not disposed inside the air duct 210 because the compressor has a large volume. The compressor may be disposed at a corner inside the case 100 to fully utilize the corner space inside the case 100. The throttle device, the dry filter, etc. may be disposed in the air duct member 210 or adjacent to the air duct member 210, which may reduce the length of the refrigerant pipe.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 1, the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230 are arranged side by side, so that not only the flow cross-sectional area is large, but also the airflow flows in a straight line in the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230, and the path is short, which is beneficial to reducing the wind resistance and increasing the air volume.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the air duct 210 defines a filter chamber 201 therein, and the drying system 200 includes a filter 240 disposed within the filter chamber 201. Set up the filter chamber 201 that the installation filtered 240 in wind channel spare 210, filter 240 and have independent installation space, can select the filter 240 structure that the filter effect is stronger, great space is favorable to optimizing the air circulation route moreover, avoids filtering 240's setting to cause the windage too big.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the detergent box 320, the filter 240, the evaporator 220, and the condenser 230 are arranged side by side, and the outlet air at the outlet 402 flows from the filter 240 to the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230. After the four devices are arranged side by side, the thickness occupied by the whole four devices is smaller. If the four devices are regarded as a thin body, the thin body may be plugged on the side of the barrel 400 without the opening 403, for example, on the top or left and right sides of the barrel 400, and the thin body can be accommodated only by leaving a small space between the housing 100 and the barrel 400. The drying system 200 and the washing assembly 300 designed based on the thin layer body can be set to be thinner corresponding to the thicknesses of the four devices, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the box body 100.

The detergent box 320, the filter 240, the evaporator 220, and the condenser 230 are arranged side by side, and the space between the detergent box 320 and the evaporator 220 can be fully utilized to form the filter chamber 201. The air flow enters the filter chamber 201 and then bends to flow towards the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230, enters the filter element 240 and then flows in a substantially straight line, then turns 90 degrees and then flows in a straight line towards the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230. Such a structure layout is beneficial to the air flow to form a lower air pressure at the position of the filtering element 240, and the air flow is sucked into the filtering chamber 201 from the barrel 400 very smoothly, so that the suction air volume is increased.

After the detergent box 320, the filter 240, the evaporator 220, and the condenser 230 are arranged in parallel, the air is introduced into the filter 240, then turns 90 degrees, and flows straight toward the evaporator 220. The 90 turn position is located downstream of the filter element 240 and the air does not turn upstream of the filter element 240 to facilitate air flow. The residence time of the air at the downstream of the filter element 240 is slightly prolonged, and the air flow reversing is beneficial to increasing the contact area of the air and the filter element 240, so that the filtering effect can be improved without increasing the wind resistance.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 to 3, the filter assembly a is drawably disposed, and the filter member 240 and the detergent box 320 share the drawing port 104. Therefore, the filter element 240 and the detergent box 320 can be arranged more closely, and when the filter element 240 and the detergent box 320 are both located at the retracted positions, the air duct element 210 and the box base 310 can be effectively closed, so that the possibility of water leakage and air leakage is reduced. And the size of the common draw-out opening 104 can be reduced, and the case 100 is prevented from being excessively rigid due to an excessively large cutout. The user opens the filter 240 when opening the detergent box 320, so that the user can be reminded to clean the filter 240. It can be understood that people can easily think about adding detergent and cannot easily think about cleaning impurities before the clothes are treated, so the arrangement can make the detergent box 320 and the filter element 240 extend and contract simultaneously to play a role in prompting.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the front side of the cabinet 100 includes a front control panel 102, and the drawing opening 104 is formed on the front control panel 102, i.e., the detergent box 320 is drawable from the front side. Here, the drawing opening 104 is disposed at the side of the casing 100, rather than at the top, so as to draw the detergent box 320 in a substantially horizontal direction, and at this time, a feeding opening 322 (as shown in fig. 4) may be formed at the top of the detergent box 320, so as to facilitate the feeding of the detergent, although the present application is not limited thereto, and the feeding opening 322 may also be formed at the front side of the detergent box 320. The drawing opening 104 is disposed at the front side of the laundry treating apparatus 1000 rather than the back side or the side, because the front side is generally the main appearance surface of the laundry treating apparatus 1000, and the back side may need to be adjacent to a corner or other household appliances, so that drawing at the front side is more convenient.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 to 3, the box 100 further includes a control panel cover 103 for opening and closing the drawing opening 104, and the control panel cover 103 can seal the drawing opening 104, so as to improve the sealing performance and the aesthetic appearance.

In some optional embodiments, the control panel cover 103 is rotatably connected to the front control panel 102, so as to prevent the control panel cover 103 from being lost and facilitate opening and closing. In addition, the large control panel cover 103 is easy to form a continuous design whole with the front side panel in terms of decoration.

In other alternative embodiments, the filter assembly a is connected to the control panel cover 103, and the control panel cover 103 is operated to open the detergent box 320 and the filter 240 at the same time, which is very convenient, and the area of the control panel cover 103 is relatively large, so that it is more labor-saving to manually buckle the control panel cover 103.

Optionally, the filter assembly A is removably attached to the control panel cover 103, which is more flexible to use. In some schemes, the control panel cover 103 can be omitted, so that one part can be saved.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the filter element 240 has a long bar shape, one end of the filter element 240 in the length direction is communicated with the air outlet 402, the detergent box 320 and the evaporator 220 are located at two sides of the filter element 240 in the width direction, and one side of the filter element 240 in the width direction is directed toward the evaporator 220.

Taking fig. 3 as an example, when the detergent box 320, the filter 240, the evaporator 220, and the condenser 230 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, the left-right direction is also the width direction of the filter 240, and the front-rear direction is the length direction of the filter 240. The filter member 240 is formed in a long bar shape without occupying the width of the detergent box 320, the evaporator 220, and the condenser 230, thereby ensuring the installation space required for the detergent box 320, the evaporator 220, and the condenser 230.

The elongated filter 240 provides a buffer space for the airflow entering the air channel 210 from the barrel 400. It is understood that the outlet 402 of the barrel 400 is generally smaller, while the cross-sectional flow area of the cooling compartment 202 and the heating compartment 203 is larger. The strip-shaped filter member 240 buffers the air rushing from the air outlet 402, and adjusts the air pressure of the whole filter member 240, so that the air pressure in the filter member 240 reaches a balanced state. When the air flows through the cooling compartment 202 having a large cross-sectional area in the filter member 240, the air can be more uniformly dispersed throughout the cooling compartment 202, and the air flow velocity is more uniform throughout the cooling compartment 202, so that the hot and humid air can be more uniformly absorbed.

In addition, the filter element 240 is in a long strip shape and is disposed at one side of the detergent box 320, and after the hot and humid air enters the filter element 240 along the length direction, the time for the air flow to pass through the filter element 240 is long, which is not only beneficial for the air to contact with the filter element 240, but also beneficial for the air to dissipate heat to the adjacent washing assembly 300.

In some embodiments, the filter 240 includes: a filter box 241, the filter box 241 is used for containing or supporting the air filtering unit. The type of the air filtering unit is not limited, for example, the air filtering unit includes, but not limited to, a filter screen, a honeycomb body, etc., and there are some air filtering units that are a rotating net rotatably disposed in the filter box 241, and the air flow drives the rotating net to rotate when flowing, and the rotating net allows more silk flock, etc. in the air flow to be entangled on the rotating net when rotating.

In some embodiments, the air filtering unit is a filtering net (not shown), the filtering net not only has low cost, but also has strong filtering capacity to the silk wadding, and is not easy to be blocked by the silk wadding, and in addition, the wind resistance is also small, and the impurities are easier to clean. And for the clothing processing apparatus 1000, the silk wadding class impurity content is big, adopts the filter screen more practical.

Specifically, the filter net is detachably mounted on the filter cartridge 241, which facilitates the removal and cleaning of the filter net from the filter cartridge 241. In some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus 1000 may be provided with a plurality of filter screens, and when one filter screen is damaged, another filter screen may be replaced. In some schemes, the filter screen is strong in toughness and not easy to damage, and the filter screen can be fixedly arranged on the filter box 241, so that the filter screen is prevented from loosening during air passing.

Further, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the detergent box 320 is a substantially rectangular box, and a feed opening 322 is provided at the top of the detergent box 320. The filter box 241 is a rectangular box, the top of the filter box 241 can be provided with a cleaning opening 2419, and the bottom wall of the filter box 241 is a filter bottom plate 2411, so that when the filter box 241 is drawn out, the filter bottom plate 2411 can support most of impurities, and a user can take out the impurities from the cleaning opening 2419.

Specifically, one end of the filter cassette 241 in the length direction forms an air inlet 2417, one side of the filter cassette 241 in the width direction forms an air outlet 2418, the air inlet 2417 is communicated with the air outlet 402 of the tub 400, and the air outlet 2418 is disposed toward the evaporator 220.

Optionally, the filter cassette 241 further has a filter side plate 2412 and at least one support frame 2414, the filter side plate 2412 and the support frame 2414 are disposed on both sides of the filter member 240 in the width direction, and the filter bottom plate 2411 is disposed along the length direction of the filter member 240 and is connected to the filter side plate 2412 and the support frame 2414, respectively. The filter side plate 2412 is located at a side of the filter box 241 adjacent to the detergent box 320, and the support frame 2414 is located at a side of the filter box 241 adjacent to the evaporator 220, so that the support frame 2414 is equivalently provided with an air outlet 2418, and the air flow in the filter box 240 flows from the air outlet 2418 to the evaporator 220.

The support frame 2414 is used to support the filter screen, where the filter screen is disposed, i.e., the filter screen is clamped at the most downstream position of the filter element 240, and all the air flow passes through the filter screen and then flows to the evaporator 220. The arrangement of the filter screen is also beneficial to hanging condensed water drops on the filter screen, and the water drops can adsorb impurities in the air.

When a plurality of support frames 2414 are provided on the filter cassette 241, the support frames 2414 at other positions may be flexibly provided, for example, the other support frames 2414 may be provided in the width direction, so that the airflow may be intercepted.

In the example shown in fig. 5, the filter cassette 241 has two support frames 2414, each of the two support frames 2414 is disposed along the length direction of the filter member 240, and after the two support frames 2414 support the filter screens, each of the filter screens extends along the length direction of the filter member. One of the support frames 2414 forms a side wall of the filter cassette 241, and the other support frame 2414 is located at a middle position.

The intermediate support frame 2414 is positioned along the length of the filter elements 240 in a direction that is consistent with the direction of airflow entering through the air inlet 2417 so that the air flow is less windy when it enters the filter cassette 241 and is more self-regulating within the filter cassette 241. When the air stream reaches the other end of the filter cartridge 241 it turns, flowing towards the air outlet 2418.

Optionally, an air inlet 2417 is formed between the filter side plate 2412 and the middle support frame 2414, and an air inlet 2417 is also formed between the two support frames 2414. The two supporting frames 2414 are respectively supported with a filter screen, when the air flow flows in from the air inlet 2417, the middle supporting frame 2414 is arranged to divide the air flow into two paths, so that air flow flocculation is reduced. And both air streams will eventually be diverted to flow out towards the air outlet 2418, one of which will need to pass through both filters.

In other alternative embodiments, the two support frames 2414 are connected to an edge plate (not shown) at an end adjacent to the air inlet 2417, i.e., the air inlet 2417 is formed between the filter side plate 2412 and the middle support frame 2414, and the two support frames 2414 are sealed by the edge plate. After the air flow is blown between the filter side plate 2412 and the middle support frame 2414 through the air inlet 2417, the air flow is turned to pass through the two layers of filter screens and flows to the evaporator 220 through the air outlet 2418. The side plates are arranged so that air flows only between the side filter plates 2412 and the middle support frame 2414, and the air flows need to pass through two layers of filter screens to improve the filtering effect.

It should be noted that, since the gas flow is a fluid, the above description of the flow direction of the gas flow describes the overall flow direction of the gas flow, and does not limit the flow of each gas molecule along the above path.

Furthermore, the filter screen detachably sets up on carriage 2414, makes things convenient for the filter screen clean like this, is convenient for the filter screen to change the position between different carriage 2414 moreover.

Further, as shown in fig. 5, the filter cassette 241 further has a filter guide plate 2413, and the filter guide plate 2413 is located at an end of the filter base plate 2411 far from the air outlet 402, i.e., the filter guide plate 2413 is disposed opposite to the air inlet 2417. When the air current flows in from the air inlet 2417, the air current rushes to the filter guide plate 2413 and turns, the filter guide plate 2413 is arranged to facilitate the air current to turn more smoothly, the retention time of the air current is shortened, and the air pressure is reduced.

Specifically, the filter guide 2413 may be an arc plate, and when the air flow flows along the arc plate, the air flow may have buffering and guiding effects, and may be guided to flow toward the evaporator 220. In this scheme, the filter guide plate 2413 may also be an inclined plate, and also has a guiding function. More specifically, in a direction toward the air-through outlet 2418, the filter guide 2413 extends gradually away from the air-through inlet 2417, i.e., the closer to the air-through outlet 2418, the farther the filter guide 2413 is from the air-through inlet 2417.

In some embodiments, the air passing outlet 2418 faces the inlet of the air duct 202, and the filter guide 2413 guides the air entering from the air passing inlet 2417 to completely enter the inlet of the air duct 202, so that the air coming out from the air passing outlet can completely pass through the evaporator, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and the drying efficiency.

Optionally, the filter guide 2413 is connected to the filter side plate 2412 and the support frame 2414, respectively, so that the filter guide 2413 can cover the entire width of the filter cassette 241, which is advantageous for reducing the eddy current.

In some embodiments, the filter element 240 further includes a cleaning cover 243 (not shown) attached to the filter cartridge 241, the cleaning cover 243 covering the cleaning opening 2419 of the filter cartridge 241 to restrict the flow of air from the air outlet 2418 to the filter cartridge 241.

Optionally, the cleaning cover 243 is rotatably attached to the filter cassette 241, thus preventing the cleaning cover 243 from being lost.

Further optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the filter cartridge 241 further comprises: the end plate 2416, the end plate 2416 are connected with the filter bottom plate 2411, the filter side plate 2412 and the outermost support frame 2414, and the end plate 2416 is positioned on one side of the filter guide plate 2413 far away from the air inlet 2417. The end plate 2416 is provided to integrally form the filter cassette 241 into a regular rectangular cassette body, which facilitates a sealed installation.

In some embodiments, the filter cartridge 241 further includes a block 24162 disposed on the end plate 2416, such that a user can easily withdraw the filter cartridge 241 through the block 24162. In some schemes, the positioning with the heat exchanging base 211 can be performed by using the pulling block 24162.

Optionally, the rotating shaft of the cleaning cover 243 is installed on the filter side plate 2412 and the outermost support frame 2414, and is located between the filter guide 2413 and the end plate 2416, so as to facilitate the rotating shaft to be built in the filter box 241, and avoid interference with the detergent box 320 when being pulled out.

In the present embodiment, since the filter assembly a includes the integrated detergent box 320 and filter box 241, the structure for supporting the filter assembly a in the laundry treating device 1000 is also referred to as a coupling seat B, and the filter assembly a is at least partially located in the coupling seat B in the retracted position. That is, the cartridge seat 310 of the washing assembly 300 and at least a portion of the duct member 210 forming the filter chamber 201 are referred to as a coupling seat B.

Here, the coupling seat B may be divided into a plurality of parts to be separately processed and then assembled at the time of processing, and the coupling seat B may be a single piece. For example, the coupling seat B includes: the combination base B1 and the combination upper cover B2, the combination base B1 and the combination upper cover B2 are covered along the vertical direction, and water is not easy to leak. Optionally, the combined upper cover B2 can be detachably connected to the top of the combined base B1, so that the disassembly, assembly and maintenance are convenient.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the coupling seat B defines a refrigerating chamber 202 and a heating chamber 203 therein, the evaporator 220 is located in the refrigerating chamber 202, the condenser 230 is located in the heating chamber 203, and a portion of the coupling seat B corresponding to the filter cartridge 241 constitutes the filter chamber 201. Because the filter 240, the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230 all form a large resistance to the airflow, the three are all installed in the combining seat B, and the combining seat B is designed to accommodate the layout of the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230, which is beneficial to the reasonable layout of the three and is designed towards the direction of reducing the total wind resistance.

In some embodiments, the coupling seat B is integrally formed on the air duct member 210, so that not only are there fewer parts to be processed, but also the sealing difficulty at the joint of the coupling seat B and the air duct member 210 is reduced. Moreover, because the combination seat B and the air duct member 210 both have sealing requirements, the combination seat B and the air duct member are integrated into a whole, and then sealing assembly is easier, and the sealing effect is better.

The structure of each component of the combination seat B is described by changing the angle. As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the air duct member 210 includes: the heat exchange base 211 and the heat exchange cover 212, the heat exchange cover 212 covers the top of the heat exchange base 211, a filter chamber 201, a refrigeration chamber 202 and a heating chamber 203 are defined between the heat exchange base 211 and the heat exchange cover 212, the filter chamber 201, the refrigeration chamber 202 and the heating chamber 203 are sequentially arranged along the airflow flowing direction in the drying system 200, the evaporator 220 is positioned in the refrigeration chamber 202, and the condenser 230 is positioned in the heating chamber 203.

The heat exchanging base 211 and the heat exchanging cover 212 are main bodies of the air duct member 210, and support and mount the filter member 240, the evaporator 220, and the condenser 230. The heat exchange base 211 and the heat exchange cover 212 are arranged into two parts, so that the assembly, the installation and the sealing are convenient. Optionally, the heat exchange base 211 and the heat exchange cover 212 are connected by screws, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly and can be tightly connected. In some embodiments, a sealing ring (not shown) is disposed between the heat exchange base 211 and the heat exchange cover 212.

Specifically, the cartridge holder 310 includes: an upper cartridge seat 312 and a lower cartridge seat 311, wherein the upper cartridge seat 312 covers the top of the lower cartridge seat 311, the lower cartridge seat 311 is integrally formed on the heat exchange seat 211, and the upper cartridge seat 312 is integrally formed on the heat exchange cover 212.

The integrated lower cassette holder 311 and heat exchange holder 211 are combined base B1, and the integrated upper cassette holder 312 and heat exchange cover 212 are combined upper cover B2.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the bottom of the box holder 310 has a first inclined wall 301, the bottom of the heat exchange holder 211 has a second inclined wall 2113, the first inclined wall 301 and the second inclined wall 2113 are connected after extending toward each other in a downward direction, the detergent box 320 is located above the first inclined wall 301, the filter 240 is located above the second inclined wall 2113, and the first inclined wall 301 is provided with a water outlet pipe 330 communicating with the tub 400.

Thus, the cartridge holder 310 and the heat exchanging holder 211 can form a V-shaped bottom wall, which not only improves the structural rigidity, but also helps the water flow to be collected and the collected water flow is discharged from the water outlet pipe 330. When being formed with the comdenstion water on filtering piece 240 like this, the comdenstion water also can collect to on the V-arrangement diapire, avoids detaining the water stain and causes bacterial growing.

The water outlet pipe 330 is disposed on the first inclined wall 301, and the water outlet pipe 330 is disposed on a side of the box holder 310 away from the drying system 200, so that when the water outlet pipe 330 is connected to the barrel 400, excessive interference with the drying system 200 can be avoided. Optionally, in fig. 3, the water outlet pipe 330 is located at the left side of the bottom of the cartridge holder 310, a connection pipe is arranged at the left side of the barrel 400, and the water outlet pipe 330 is connected with the connection pipe through a hose, so that the hose is short and the hose can play a role in buffering.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5 and 4, the bottom of the coupling seat B has a first inclined wall 301 and a second inclined wall 2113. Specifically, the bottom of the detergent box 320 is provided with a first guide surface in surface contact with the first inclined wall 301, the bottom of the filter 240 is provided with a second guide surface (not shown) in surface contact with the second inclined wall 2113, and the detergent box 320 and the sides of the filter 240 facing each other are in contact.

In this way, the detergent box 320 and the filter box 241 are pressed in the direction of each other by the first inclined wall 301 and the second inclined wall 2113 on both sides, and a centering function is generated on the detergent box 320 and the filter box 241. The first guide surface and the second guide surface are used for guiding, which is beneficial to the smooth drawing of the detergent box 320 and the filter element 240.

In addition, when the detergent box 320 and the filter box 241 are two independent parts, the first inclined wall 301 and the second inclined wall 2113 are pressed to reduce the gap between the detergent box 320 and the filter box 241, thereby reducing air leakage.

In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, a positioning block 303 is provided on the base B1, and a positioning groove cooperating with the positioning block 303 is further provided on the filter a, so that the filter a is accurately positioned when in the retracted position.

Specifically, the bottom of the coupling seat B is formed with a confluence chamber 302 between the first inclined wall 301 and the second inclined wall 2113, the confluence chamber 302 being located below the filter assembly a. The washing water in which the detergent is dissolved in the detergent box 320 flows toward the confluent chamber 302, so that the washing water is conveniently guided to the tub 400 in a concentrated manner, which is advantageous to improve the utilization rate.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the air duct 210 further includes: the induced draft tube 215 is connected with the air outlet 402, the blast tube 216 is connected with the air inlet 401, and after the airflow introduced by the induced draft tube 215 is blown into the filter chamber 201, the airflow passes through the refrigerating chamber 202 and the heating chamber 203 and is then returned to the barrel body 400 from the blast tube 216. Because the connection part with the barrel body 400 needs to be bent to a large extent and needs to be matched with the positions of the air inlet 401 and the air outlet 402 on the barrel body 400, the induced duct 215 and the air supply duct 216, the heat exchange base 211 and the heat exchange cover 212 are separately processed, so that the formation of the induced duct 215 and the air supply duct 216 is facilitated, and the sealing fit is also facilitated.

Specifically, the end of the induced duct 215 connected to the air outlet 402 is a round opening, and the end of the induced duct 215 connected to the filter element 240 is a square opening, so that the two ends can be conveniently sealed.

Alternatively, the end of the induced duct 215 connected to the filter member 240 may have a gradually increasing tube cross-sectional area to disperse the airflow uniformly toward the filter member 240.

The blower 250 is arranged in the air supply pipe 216, so that the shape of the air supply pipe 216 is matched with the shape and the air supply path of the blower 250.

It will be appreciated that when the tub 400 is a drum and the opening 403 is forward, the tub 400 is highest at the vertical center plane, and the height of the tub 400 gradually decreases toward the left and right direction. Because the structure of evaporimeter 220, condenser 230 is more nimble, can set to the platykurtic, set up evaporimeter 220, condenser 230 in the vertical central plane department that is close to staving 400, and set up these two great parts of size of fan 250, washing subassembly 300 in staving 400 both sides, make full use of the space characteristics above staving 400, just can hold washing subassembly 300, drying system 200 under the little prerequisite of box 100 whole size.

Specifically, the detergent box 320, the filter 240, the evaporator 220, the condenser 230 and the fan 250 are sequentially arranged from left to right along the horizontal direction, and the detergent box 320 and the filter 240 to be drawn are located at the leftmost side, so that the drawing port 104 is not required to be arranged at the right side, and a control panel, a display screen and the like can be arranged on the right half part of the front side of the box body 100. Thus, the front side of the box 100 and the area above the barrel 400 can be fully distributed.

Further, the fan 250 is a centrifugal fan and is disposed in the air supply pipe 216, and the fan 250 is a centrifugal fan, so that the characteristic that the centrifugal fan changes the wind direction by 90 degrees can be utilized to turn the airflow in the air duct member 210 by a large margin, and the wind resistance is reduced.

Alternatively, the axis of the centrifugal fan is arranged along the arrangement direction of the evaporator 220 and the condenser 230, such as the axis of the centrifugal fan arranged along the left-right direction in fig. 3. It will be appreciated that the centrifugal fan is typically larger in diameter, i.e., the spokes of the centrifugal fan are larger, and the centrifugal fan is located at a larger gap between the tub 400 and the box 100.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the intake vent 401 is disposed adjacent to the opening 403, and the air flow from the intake vent 401 by the blower tube 216 emerges into the barrel 400 adjacent to the opening 403. The air outlet 402 is disposed adjacent to and upward of the rear end of the tub 400, and the induced duct 215 draws air from the rear end of the tub 400. Thus, air can be in full contact with the laundry in the tub 400, thereby taking away more moisture on the laundry and accelerating drying.

Specifically, the air guiding pipe 215 extends upwards from the air outlet 402 and then bends to extend forwards, the pipeline of the air guiding pipe 215 is short, and air can rapidly flow through the air guiding pipe 215 and enter the filter chamber 201, so that the residence time of the air in the air guiding pipe 215 is reduced, and the deposition of impurities and water drops in the air guiding pipe 215 is reduced.
