The specific structure of the foam dispensing apparatus 100 is not limited as long as it is capable of generating foam from the cleaning medium and discharging the foam from the foam outlet 100 a.

The foam outlet 100a is used only for discharging foam, and is not used for discharging fluid-like liquid, that is, water is not injected into the laundry treating chamber 300a through the foam dispensing device 100.

Illustratively, the foam dispensing apparatus 100 further includes a drawer for receiving the stock solution container 200, the stock solution container 200 for storing the cleaning medium, and the stock solution container 200 is detachably placed in the drawer.

The outer housing 31 has an opening, and a drawer is provided inside the outer housing and can be at least partially withdrawn to the outside of the outer housing through the opening.

The foam dispensing apparatus 100 also has a stock solution inlet for interfacing with the stock solution container 200 in the drawer to receive cleaning media from the stock solution container 200. Specifically, the cleaning medium flows out of the stock solution container 200 and enters the interior of the foam casting device 100 from the stock solution inlet.

When the stock solution container 200 needs to be replaced, the drawing box is drawn out, the stock solution container 200 in the drawing box is taken out, and then the replaced stock solution container 200 is put into the drawing box. Thus, the user can conveniently take and place the stock solution container 200.

In some embodiments, the stock solution container 200 may be a single use device. After the cleaning medium in the stock solution container 200 is used up, the old stock solution container 200 can be taken out and replaced with a new stock solution container 200.

In other embodiments, the stock solution container 200 may be reusable. After the cleaning medium in the stock solution container 200 is used up, a user can pour the cleaning medium into the stock solution container 200, and the stock solution container 200 can be reused, so that the energy is saved and the environment is protected.

The foam dispensing apparatus 100 includes electrical devices, which are devices that require electricity.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 2, the laundry treating apparatus includes a water deflector 12, the water deflector 12 being at least partially disposed over the electrical components of the foam casting apparatus 100 to cover the electrical components. The covering electric device is that the electric device is covered from above the electric device, and in a plane projection perpendicular to the height direction of the laundry treatment apparatus, the projection of the electric device is located within the projection of the water deflector 12.

The water deflector 12 provides water protection for the electrical device and prevents droplets in the area above the electrical device from dripping onto the electrical device.

The liquid drop in the area above the electric device may be a condensed water drop formed by the hot air of the clothes treating apparatus when the hot air is cooled, or may be a water drop accidentally scattered from the external environment. Of course, other conditions are possible.

The specific manner of mounting the water deflector 12 is not limited.

In some embodiments, the water deflector 12 is coupled to the foam dispensing device 100. That is, the water deflector 12 is mounted on the foam casting apparatus 100, so that the mounting of the water deflector 12 is facilitated, for example, the water deflector 12 and the foam casting apparatus 100 may be assembled together in advance, and other structures of the laundry treating apparatus do not need to be provided with a mounting structure for the water deflector 12.

Of course, in other embodiments, the water deflector 12 may not be connected to the foam dispensing device 100, and the water deflector 12 may be mounted on other structures outside the foam dispensing device 100, for example, on the outer housing 31.

Illustratively, the water deflector 12 is mounted on the foam dispensing device 100, and the foam dispensing device 100 and the water deflector 12 are formed as a pre-assembled unit. That is, the foam discharging device 100 and the water stopper 12 are pre-assembled together to form a pre-assembled body, and the pre-assembled body is assembled in the outer housing 31 on the production line of the laundry treating apparatus, so that the assembling efficiency can be improved.

In some embodiments, the water deflector 12 covers the entirety of the foam dispensing device 100 in an up-down direction. That is, even if liquid drops are generated in the upper region of the foam dispensing apparatus 100, the liquid drops do not drop to any portion of the foam dispensing apparatus 100 due to the shielding of the water stopper 12, and thus the entire foam dispensing apparatus 100 can be protected from water.

In other embodiments, the water guard 12 is independently disposed in the upper region of each electrical device, and no water guard 12 is disposed above the non-electrical device region, so that the water guard 12 can be flexibly disposed above each electrical device, the area of a single water guard 12 can be relatively small, and no water guard 12 is required to be disposed above the portion without electrical devices, thereby improving the flexibility of disposing other components.

Besides the upper area of the shielding device, the water blocking member 12 may also shield other parts of the foam dispensing device 100 as required, for example, shield any one or more sides of the foam dispensing device 100 in the circumferential direction, so as to play a role in waterproof protection for the circumferential direction of the foam dispensing device 100. Wherein the circumferential direction refers to an arbitrary direction perpendicular to a height direction of the laundry treating apparatus, for example, a front side, a rear side, a left side, a right side, and the like.

The specific construction of the water deflector 12 is not limited, and may be, for example, plate-like, umbrella-like, or the like.

Illustratively, in some embodiments, the water deflector 12 is box-shaped and the entire foam casting apparatus 100 is disposed within the box-shaped water deflector 12 such that the water deflector 12 provides an all-round water-proof protection to the foam casting apparatus 100.

Illustratively, the foam dispensing apparatus 100 includes a mounting case 11, and components of the foam dispensing apparatus 100 such as electrical devices are disposed within the mounting case 11, with the mounting case 11 being an exterior component of the foam dispensing apparatus 100. It should be noted that, the mounting case 11 as an exterior part of the foam dispensing apparatus 100 means that the foam dispensing apparatus 100 as a whole can be seen by a user before being assembled into the outer case 31, and the mounting case 11 is not seen substantially if the outer case 31 is made of an opaque material from the outside of the laundry treating apparatus after the foam dispensing apparatus 100 is assembled into the outer case 31.

Illustratively, the top side of the mounting shell 11 is open, and the water deflector 12 closes the top side opening of the mounting shell 11. The water blocking member 12 can be installed in the housing 11 to form a relatively closed space and also can serve as a water blocking member.

Illustratively, the circumferential side wall of the mounting shell 11 may be a watertight side wall. That is, the circumferential side wall of the installation housing 11 has no open hole, and external water drops or liquid water do not pass through the circumferential side wall to enter into the installation housing 11, so that the circumferential side wall of the installation housing 11 has a good waterproof performance. The circumferential side wall refers to a side wall in any direction perpendicular to the height direction of the laundry treating apparatus, for example, a front side, a rear side, a left side, a right side, and the like.

Referring to fig. 2, the mounting case 11 has a drawing space 11a, the drawing space 11a communicates with the opening 31a, and the drawing box is drawably disposed in the drawing space 11 a. The installation shell 11 provides accommodation space and installation support for the pull box, so, need not set up mounting structure for the pull box in the inner wall of shell body 31 specially, reduce the structural requirement to shell body 31.

The drawing box is drawn and arranged along the front-back direction of the clothes treatment equipment, so that the drawing and force application of a user are facilitated. The opening 31a is located at the front side of the drawing space 11a, and the raw liquid inlet is located at the rear side of the drawing box such that the raw liquid inlet is butted with the raw liquid container 200 in the front-rear direction. That is, the opening 31a and the dope inlet are located on opposite sides of the drawing space 11a in the drawing direction. In this embodiment, the stock solution inlet and the stock solution container 200 are in a plug-and-socket fit in the drawing direction, specifically, when the drawing box is pushed into the drawing space 11a from the opening 31a, the stock solution container 200 in the drawing box is docked with the stock solution inlet, and when the drawing box is drawn out, the stock solution container 200 is separated from the stock solution inlet.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, the laundry treating apparatus includes a water inlet valve 13 and a water inlet pipe 14, the foam dispensing device 100 has a water inlet 100b, and the water inlet pipe 14 connects the water inlet valve 13 and the water inlet 100b for supplying water to the foam dispensing device 100, that is, the foam dispensing device 100 is used for mixing water from the stock solution inlet and water from the water inlet 100b and generating foam. The water from the water inlet 100b serves to dilute the cleaning medium of the stock solution container 200 to a desired concentration. In this embodiment, since the cleaning medium and the water are diluted and mixed in the foam dispensing apparatus 100, the concentration of the cleaning medium in the stock solution container 200 can be relatively high, so that the volume of the stock solution container 200 can be reduced, the volume requirement on the drawing box can be reduced, and the structure can be more compact.

Illustratively, the water inlet valve 13 is an electrically controlled valve that can be activated or deactivated under control of a control signal to facilitate automatic control of the water inlet and thus control of the mixing ratio of the cleaning medium and water.

It should be noted that, the source of the water in the water inlet pipeline 14 is not limited, for example, the water inlet valve 13 may be connected to a tap water pipe, or may be connected to a condensed water box of the clothes processing apparatus, where the water in the condensed water box comes from condensed water collected after condensing the hot and humid air flow in the clothes drying process of the clothes processing apparatus; but also can be water filled by an access user, etc., without limitation.

In other embodiments, the user may manually add the desired water to the foam dispensing device 100.

The specific type of the laundry treating apparatus is not limited.

In some embodiments, the laundry treatment apparatus is a cabinet type laundry treatment apparatus, specifically, the outer casing 31 is a cabinet, and the laundry treatment apparatus further includes a cabinet door and a clothes airing device disposed in the cabinet and used for hanging clothes, where the cabinet body is at least provided with the above-mentioned laundry treatment chamber 300a, the front side of the cabinet body is open, and the cabinet door is disposed at the opening of the cabinet body; the laundry device is hung on the upper portion of the laundry treating chamber 300a.

In this embodiment, the laundry is hung on the laundry device, the cabinet door is closed, and the laundry is hung, that is, the laundry is not tumbled during the laundry drying or cleaning process, so that damage to the laundry can be reduced, and the dried laundry is not wrinkled or entangled.

In other embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus includes a laundry treating drum 300, and the laundry treating drum 300 is rotatably disposed within the outer housing 31. In this embodiment, the laundry treating drum 300 is rotated while the foam is introduced into the laundry treating chamber 300a, so that the foam and the laundry can be promoted to be sufficiently contacted, and the laundry treating efficiency can be improved.

Illustratively, the outer case 31 includes a left support plate, a right support plate, a top plate, a front plate 311, and a rear plate, which together form an exterior surface of the laundry treating apparatus.

Illustratively, in some embodiments, the front side of the laundry treating drum 300 forms a laundry taking-in/putting-out opening, and a user takes in/putting-out laundry from the front side of the laundry treating apparatus, referring to fig. 4, the laundry treating apparatus includes a door 32, and the door 32 is connected to the front plate 311 for opening or closing the laundry taking-in/putting-out opening. In other embodiments, the top side of the laundry treating drum 300 forms a laundry access opening, and a user accesses laundry from the top side of the laundry treating apparatus.

In the embodiment of the present utility model, the laundry access opening formed at the front side of the laundry treating drum 300 is described as an example.

Since the chamber wall of the laundry treating drum 300 has no drain channel, the circumferential side wall of the laundry treating drum 300 is a continuous wall through which the fluid medium cannot pass, i.e., the laundry treating drum 300 is a hole-free inner drum. During the rotation of the laundry treating drum 300, the bubbles in the laundry treating drum 300 do not directly pass through the laundry treating drum 300, and thus, the bubbles are prevented from flowing to the outside of the laundry treating drum 300, and the bubbles can be effectively left in the laundry treating drum 300, thereby securing the cleaning effect of the bubbles on the laundry.

It is understood that the imperforate inner tub means that the circumferential sidewall of the laundry treating tub 300 in the radial direction may be free of any hole; there may be a small number of holes and, during foam cleaning of the laundry, the holes are closed by valves so that foam does not pass through the holes to the outside of the laundry treating drum 300.

In some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus is of a single-drum structure, and has only one drum, i.e., only the laundry treating drum 300 described above, and the outside of the laundry treating drum 300 described above has no outer tub. In other embodiments, the outer surface of the laundry treating drum 300 is further provided with an outer tub, and in the case of the outer tub, the circumferential side wall of the laundry treating drum 300 is still a continuous wall.

The specific type of the laundry treating apparatus is not limited, and may be, for example, a laundry drying apparatus, a washing and drying integrated machine, or the like.

Among them, the laundry drying apparatus means a laundry drying apparatus having a laundry drying function, but not having a water soaking washing function. The washing and drying integrated machine has the functions of soaking and washing clothes in water and drying the clothes.

The specific location of the foam dispensing apparatus 100 is not limited as long as there is enough space within the outer housing 31 to place the foam dispensing apparatus 100.

Illustratively, the foam dispensing device 100 is positioned no lower than the center of the laundry access opening. That is, any portion of the foam dispensing apparatus 100 is not lower than the center of the laundry taking and putting port. For example, the foam dispensing device 100 is disposed at the upper left or upper right of the laundry treating drum 300.

The height of the foam dispensing apparatus 100 facilitates the user to take and place the stock solution container with little bending over, and in addition, facilitates a larger space above the position for mounting the foam dispensing apparatus 100.

Illustratively, the laundry treating apparatus includes an air duct in communication with the laundry treating chamber 300a for providing an air flow to the laundry treating chamber 300a. It is understood that the interior of the air duct has a heating element for heating the air flow. When the heating member heats, the air duct provides a hot air flow into the laundry treating chamber 300a to dry laundry by the hot air flow. For example, after the foam is used for cleaning the clothes, the hot air flow is used for drying the clothes and taking away the solvent and the moisture in the foam, so that the effects of removing the foam and drying the clothes are achieved.

The air duct of any embodiment of the present utility model may be configured either as a cabinet type laundry treating apparatus or as a drum type laundry treating apparatus.

Illustratively, the laundry treating apparatus includes a condensation dehumidifying member for condensing and dehumidifying the air flow discharged from the laundry treating chamber 300a. Specifically, the hot dry air flow in the air duct flows to the laundry treating chamber 300a, and during the process of flowing through the laundry treating chamber 300a, the hot dry air flow exchanges heat with laundry and takes away a part of water vapor to form a hot humid air flow, and the hot humid air flow is discharged from the laundry treating chamber 300a to contact with the condensation dehumidifying element, and as the water vapor in the hot humid air flow is separated out due to temperature reduction, the air flow condensed and dehumidified by the condensation dehumidifying element and the low-temperature dry air flow.

In some embodiments, the air flow discharged from the laundry treating chamber 300a flows to the outside environment, i.e., the discharged air flow does not circulate into the laundry treating chamber 300a. It will be appreciated that in the embodiment where the condensation dehumidifying member is not provided, the air flow discharged from the laundry treating chamber 300a directly flows to the external environment without condensation dehumidifying of the condensation dehumidifying member, that is, the air flow flowing to the external environment is a wet and hot air flow, which affects the temperature and humidity of the external environment. In the embodiment provided with the condensation dehumidifying member, the air flow discharged from the laundry treating chamber 300a is dehumidified by condensation of the condensation dehumidifying member, so that the air flow flowing to the external environment and the low-temperature drying air flow are reduced, the influence on the humidity and temperature of the external environment can be reduced, and the contamination of foreign matters such as flocks entrained in the air flow to the external environment can be reduced.

In other embodiments, two ends of the air duct are respectively connected to the laundry treating chamber 300a to form a circulating air flow channel, and the air flow can circulate in the laundry treating chamber 300a and the air duct, so that on one hand, heat energy can be fully utilized, and on the other hand, adverse effects on the environment caused by direct discharge of the air flow to the external environment can be avoided.

The heating member and the condensation dehumidifying member are disposed in the air duct, and the heating member is disposed downstream of the condensation dehumidifying member in the air flow direction, that is, the hot and humid air flowing out of the laundry treating chamber 300a flows through the condensation dehumidifying member and then through the heating member. The condensing and dehumidifying piece is used for condensing and dehumidifying the air flow, and the heating piece is used for heating the air flow.

The working process and the clothes drying principle of the clothes treatment equipment of the embodiment of the utility model are as follows: the drying hot air flow enters the clothes treatment cavity 300a from the downstream of the air duct along the air flow direction, in the clothes treatment cavity 300a, the drying hot air flow flows through the surface of wet clothes to perform heat-moisture exchange with the wet clothes, moisture in the clothes is absorbed, the moisture in the clothes is changed into wet hot air flow, the wet hot air flow enters the upstream of the air duct and sequentially flows through the condensation dehumidifying part and the heating part, in the process of flowing through the condensation dehumidifying part, water vapor in the wet hot air flow is separated from the air flow due to temperature reduction and is condensed into water drops, the wet hot air flow is condensed and dehumidified by the condensation dehumidifying part to form low-temperature drying air flow, the low-temperature drying air flow is heated into drying hot air flow when passing through the heating part, and the drying hot air flow enters the clothes treatment cavity 300a from the downstream of the air duct again, so that the circulation operation is realized, and continuous drying of the clothes is realized.

The low-temperature dry air flow is a flow of wet hot air, and the low-temperature dry air flow has a lower temperature than the wet hot air flow. The low temperature in the embodiments of the present utility model may be room temperature.

The specific types of the condensation dehumidifying member and the heating member described above are not limited.

For example, in some embodiments, the condensation dehumidifying part is a water-cooled condensation dehumidifying part, specifically, a condensation water channel is formed in the condensation dehumidifying part, the condensation dehumidifying part is connected to a water source, the water source exchanges heat with the damp-heat air flow in the process of flowing through the condensation water channel, the water absorbs heat of the damp-heat air flow, water vapor in the damp-heat air flow is separated from the air flow due to temperature reduction and is condensed into water drops, the water drops are mixed into the water and finally discharged, and therefore the effect of dehumidifying and temperature reduction on the damp-heat air flow is achieved. The heating element may be resistive heating.

The laundry treating apparatus includes a foam passage having an inlet end connected to the foam outlet 100a and an outlet end passing through the through-opening 500b to deliver foam to the laundry treating chamber 300a. In this embodiment, the front support 500 is utilized to provide a mounting location for the foam channel to facilitate the introduction of foam into the laundry treatment chamber 300a. Specifically, since the laundry treating drum 300 needs to be rotated, the front support 500 is not rotated, and the foam passage passes through the through-opening 500b of the front support 500, both to guide the foam to the laundry treating chamber 300a and to avoid interference with the laundry treating drum 300.

Foam channels refer to the entire path for transporting foam.

The foam passage is not limited in the manner of construction, and for example, in some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus includes a pipe 15, a first end of the pipe 15 is connected to the foam outlet 100a of the foam dispensing device 100, and a second end of the pipe 15 serves as an outlet of the foam passage, that is, in this embodiment, the pipe 15 independently defines the foam passage, the second end of the pipe 15 passes through the through-hole 500b and protrudes into the laundry treating chamber 300a, and the foam is discharged from an end of the pipe 15 and dispensed into the laundry treating chamber 300a.

The pipeline 15 may be an integrated pipeline, and may be formed by connecting multiple sections of pipelines, which is not limited herein.

In other embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus includes a pipe 15 and a spray head 16 disposed at an end of the pipe 15, wherein a first end of the pipe 15 is connected to the foam outlet 100a, a second end of the pipe is connected to the spray head 16, and the spray head 16 passes through the through-hole 500b and protrudes into the laundry treating chamber 300a. In this embodiment, the foam is put into the laundry treating chamber 300a through the spray head 16, and the foam has an initial velocity, so that the foam is not only convenient to be fully dispersed, so that the contact area between the foam and the laundry in the laundry treating chamber 300a is larger, but also the discharge of the foam generated by the foam putting device 100 can be accelerated, and the efficiency is improved.

The communication port 500a is smaller than the laundry taking/putting port.

The location of the through-hole 500b is not limited as long as it is capable of facilitating the passage of the foam.

For example, the through-hole 500b is provided at the left side, the right side, the upper left side, the upper right side, the right upper side, and the like of the communication port 500 a.

Referring to fig. 2, illustratively, the through-hole 500b is disposed above the communication hole 500a, on one hand, the end of the pipeline 15 and/or the position of the spray head 16 are relatively high, and the foam is thrown into the laundry treating chamber 300a from above, so that the foam can drop in a parabolic manner under the action of the initial speed and gravity, so that the foam is more dispersed, the foam can cover a larger range in the laundry treating chamber 300a, the foam and the laundry can be fully contacted, and the cleaning effect is improved, and on the other hand, the probability of blocking the outlet of the foam channel by the laundry can be reduced.

Illustratively, the outer housing 31 includes a front plate 311 positioned on a front side of the front support 500, and the foam outlet 100a is positioned in a spaced area between the front support 500 and the front plate 311. The foam dispensing device 100 is disposed as far forward as possible so that the foam outlet 100a is as close to the front support 500 as possible, which can shorten the flowing distance of the foam in the pipeline 15, shorten the flowing path of the foam, and reduce the probability of foam breaking and aggregation.
