Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1, an upper surface 11 of the base 1 is depressed downwards to form a first receiving trough 13, the top cover 2 is disposed on the base 1 to cover the first receiving trough 13, and a compressor is imbedded in the first receiving trough 13. It should be understood that, the compressor may be limited in the depression (i.e., the first receiving trough 13) by depressing the upper surface 11 of the base 1 downwards. On one hand, it is easy to fix the compressor and on the other hand, it is also possible to reduce the height of the projection of the compressor from the upper surface 11 of the base 1, so that a distance between the base 1 and the top cover 2 may be shortened, and thus the structure of the heat pump module 100 may be more compact and reasonable.
In the heat pump module 100 of the laundry treatment device 200 according to embodiments of the present invention, because the upper surface 11 of the base 1 is depressed downwards to form the first receiving trough 13, the compressor may be imbedded in the first receiving trough 13. Therefore, it is easy to fix the compressor and it is also possible to reduce the height of the projection of the compressor from the upper surface 11 of the base 1, so that a distance between the base 1 and the top cover 2 may be shortened, and thus the structure of the heat pump module 100 may be more compact and reasonable.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a part of a peripheral wall of the first receiving trough 13 is protruded from a lower surface 12 of the base 1, and the part of the peripheral wall of the first receiving trough 13 protruded from the lower surface 12 of the base 1 is located in the laundry treatment device 200, so that the height of the whole laundry treatment device 200 may be reduced and the structure of the laundry treatment device 200 may be more compact and reasonable, so that the appearance of the laundry treatment device 200 may be more aesthetic.
In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 14 are disposed at a peripheral wall of the first receiving trough 13 and spaced apart from each other, and thus materials used may be saved and the strength of the structure of the receiving trough may be guaranteed.
