In actual implementation, the planar part 4413 has an air outlet of lower housing 4415. The extension part of lower housing 4414 has a return air inlet of lower housing 4416. The air outlet of lower housing 4415 and the return air inlet of lower housing 4416 are used to communicate with the accommodating chamber of air supply unit and the inner container 120. The air outlet of lower housing 4415, the return air inlet of lower housing 4416 and the accommodating chamber of air supply unit jointly form an airflow circulating channel. The air outlet of lower housing 4415 is opposite to the second chamber 444, and the return air inlet of lower housing 4416 is opposite to the first chamber 443.
It should be noted that the air outlet of lower housing 4415, the return air inlet of lower housing 4416 and the accommodating chamber of air supply unit jointly form an airflow circulating channel for the airflow circulation between the inner container 120 and the air supply box 440. This airflow circulation may be called auxiliary air circulation, and is mainly powered by the first air supply assembly 410. The clothing care machine further has a main air circulation, which is mainly powered by the second air supply assembly 420.
Hereinafter, in combination with the structures of the first air supply assembly 410 and the second air supply assembly 420, the airflow circulation in the inner container 120 will be described.
The first air supply assembly 410 may include a first fan 411 and a heater 412, and the heater 412 is located between the first fan 411 and the upper housing 442. The heater 412 is used for heating gas, which may be a PTC heater, a pulley-type hot-air blower, or the like. The first blower 411 generates a negative pressure to circulate the airflow, and continuously sucks the air in the inner container 120 into the first chamber 443 of the accommodating chamber of air supply unit through the return air inlet of lower housing 4416, and the airflow is heated by the heater 412 and then blows to the second chamber 444, and then blown into the inner container 120 through the air outlet of lower housing 4415. The number of the return air inlets of lower housing 4416 may be multiple, and the return air inlets of lower housing 4416 are arranged in the form of a grid, so as to prevent fingers of users, especially children, from entering the accommodating chamber of air supply unit.
The first air supply assembly 410 heats the airflow in the accommodating chamber of air supply unit. When the clothing care machine enters a drying mode, the first air supply assembly 410 may output hot air to speed up the evaporation of moisture in the upper half of the clothes 160 and speed up the drying of the clothes 160. At the same time, in the state of steam care, the water vapor molecules output by the second air supply assembly 420 at the bottom may be heated and vaporized for a second time, and then transported to the outer surface and inside of the clothes 160 under the action of the first fan 411, water vapor after the second-time vaporization has stronger permeability and better care effect.
In a possible implementation, the air supply unit 400 enters an external-circulation drying mode. At this time, the care box 100 is further provided with two ventilation holes communicating with the external environment, one of which is configured to discharge hot and humid air, and the other of which is configured to pass through the dry and cold air, so as to circulate to dry the clothes 160 in the inner container 120.
Sequentially referring to Figs. 2 to 8, in another possible implementation, the air supply unit 400 enters an internal-circulation drying mode. At this time, the air supply unit 400 is further provided with a second air supply assembly 420, the second air supply assembly 420 is configured to condense the water vapor in the inner container 120 to form condensed water, so as to dry the clothes.

In this way, the first air supply assembly 410 and the second air supply assembly 420 are respectively arranged on the top and bottom of the care box 100 to dry the clothes 160, which is conducive to improving the drying efficiency, especially for long coats and cotton coats.
The second air supply assembly 420 includes a compressor 425, an evaporator 426, a condenser 423 and a second fan 424. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, a drying principle of the second air supply assembly 420 is as follows:
The second fan 424 rotates to generate a negative pressure zone, so that the wet and cold gas in the care space 150 enters into the installation space 140 at the bottom of the care box body 100 through the return air port 421; a refrigerant is transformed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas under the action of compressor 425, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas releases heat in the condenser 423, and the refrigerant turns into a low-temperature liquid; the released heat heats the wet and cold gas to form a wet and hot gas. When the low-temperature liquid refrigerant passes through the evaporator 426, it exchanges heat with the wet and hot gas, and the moisture in the gas is condensed in the evaporator 426 to form condensed water, which is stored in the condensed water tank; the refrigerant in the evaporator 426 is heated and circulated to the compressor 425, the wet and hot gas forms dry gas after heat exchange, and is discharged into the inner container 120 through the air outlet port 422, so that the clothes in the inner container 120 are dried repeatedly in this way.

There are at least two heat insulating sleeves 4121 on the peripheral side of the heater 412, and the first cavity 4451 has an installation gap 4423 on the side facing the upper housing 442, and the heat insulating sleeve 4121 is inserted into the installation gap 4423, so that the heater 412 is fixed in the first cavity 4451, and the heat insulation sleeve 4121 plays a role of heat insulation, which prevents the heat generated by the heater 412 from being transmitted to the upper housing 442 and the lower housing 441 through the partition housing of accommodating chamber 445.
In some embodiments, the rotating unit 500 has at least one rotating shaft 510 that may rotate around its own axis. The rotating shaft 510 is inserted into the airflow channel of hanger 430 and is arranged one by one corresponding to the airflow channel of hanger 430.

In this way, a portion of airflow enters into the air inlet of hanger 210 through the inner air outlet 4418 of the airflow channel of hanger 430, and then flows to the inside of the clothes 160 on the hanger 200 through the air outlet of hanger 230 (the flow direction of the airflow is shown by the solid line arrows in Figs. 6 and 7), another part of the airflow enters into the inner container 120 through the airflow channel of inner container 460, and flows to the outside of the clothes in the inner bag 120 (the flow direction of the airflow is shown by the dotted arrow in Figs. 6 and 7), thus, the inside and outside of the clothes 160 are cared for at the same time, so as to improve the care effect of the clothes.
Sequentially referring to Figs. 5, 6, 9 to 14, in order to guide the airflow channel of inner container 460, in some embodiments, the air supply box 440 further includes an air guide housing 446. The air guide housing 446 is located between the partition housing of accommodating chamber 445 and the lower housing 441, the air guide housing 446 has at least one installation hole 4461, the installation hole 4461 is matched with the retaining ring 4417 and is arranged in one-to-one correspondence, the installation hole 4461 is pierced in the retaining ring 4417, and the inner wall of the installation hole 4461 abuts against the outer wall of the retaining ring 4417.
The air guide housing 446 has a plurality of air guide grooves 4462, and the airflow in the gap enters into the inner container 120 through the air guide grooves 4462 and the outer air outlet 4420 in sequence. Converging the airflow entering the airflow channel of the inner container460 through the air guide groove 4462 can make the airflow entering the inner container 120 more concentrated and the spraying distance longer.

The temperature detecting part 800 is located within the first chamber 443, the temperature detecting part 800 may be electrically connected to a master controller in the clothing care machine. The temperature in the first chamber 443 is detected by the temperature detecting part 800. When the temperature in the first chamber 443 is less than or equal to a preset temperature value, the first air supply assembly 410 may be selected to be turned off, and only the second air supply assembly 420 may be turned on, so as to reduce the waste of energy.

Fig. 27 is a structural schematic diagram of a rotating shaft in a clothing care machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 27, according to the present disclosure, the rotating unit 500 may drive the hanger 200 to swing reciprocally. When the clothing care machine finishes running or pauses during the swing, the hanger 200 stops swinging immediately. If a certain deflection is formed between the hanger and the body at this time, it is difficult for the hanger 200 to be taken out of the body smoothly. That is, the hanger 200 is in an inclined position as shown in Fig. 20 or 21. Because the space of the inner container 120 of the cabinet is limited, the inclined hanger 200 takes up a lot of space, causing the hanger 200 to be difficult to take out from the inner container 120 of the body smoothly.
Based on this, in some embodiments, the clothing care machine further includes a controller (not shown) and a detecting assembly 700, the rotating unit includes a driving part 520 and a swing structure 5, the swing structure 5 is configured to connect the hanger 200, and the driving part 520 is connected with the swing structure 5 to drive the hanger 200 to swing reciprocally on both sides of the initial position through the swing structure.
Both the detecting assembly 700 and the driving part 520 are electrically connected to the controller. The detecting assembly 700 is configured to detect the position of the swing structure 5. When the driving part 520 stops driving, the controller controls the driving part 520 to drive the swing structure 5 back to the preset position, so as to make the hanger 200 swing to the initial position.
It should be noted that the position of the hanger 200 in Fig. 19 is an initial position of the hanger 200. At this time, the door 130 is opened, and the length direction of the hanger 200 is vertically facing the user, so that the user can take the hanger 200 out of the inner container 120. The position of the swing structure 5 in Fig. 19 is the preset position of the swing structure 5.
In actual implementation, the swing structure 5 may be a swing structure such as a swing rod or a crank rocker, which is not limited in this embodiment. The detecting assembly 700 may continuously detect the position of the swing structure 5, or detect the position of the swing structure 5 only when the driving part 520 stops driving. As long as the driving part 520 stops driving, the controller controls the driving part 520 to drive the swinging structure 5 back to the preset position. Therefore, after the driving part 520 stops, the length direction of the hanger 200 is perpendicular to the user, maintaining the initial position in Fig. 19, which facilitates the removal of the hanger 200 from the inner container 120.
In a specific implementation, the detecting assembly 700 may be connected with the rotating unit 500. When the clothing care machine is turned off or the clothing care machine is paused, there is a need to take out the clothing 160. Therefore, in this embodiment, the detecting assembly 700 is configured to detect the position of the swing structure 5 when the driving part 520 stops driving causing by the care machine being turned off or the clothing care machine being paused. While the clothing care machine normally cares the clothes 160, the detecting assembly 700 does not need to detect the position of the swing structure 5, thereby avoiding the transition and ineffective use of the detecting assembly 700 and improving the service life of the detecting assembly 700.
Specifically, the detecting assembly 700 includes a detecting part 710 and a sensing part 720. The detecting part 710 is configured to detect the sensing part 720, that is, the sensing part 720 may be sensed by the detecting part 710. When the swing structure 5 is located within a preset location, the detecting part 710 is opposite to the sensing part 720, when the detecting part 710 is opposite to the sensing part 720, the detecting part 710 senses the sensing part 720, and converts it into an sensing signal and transmits it to the controller, and at this time, the controller controls the driving part 520 to stop driving, so that the swing structure 5 is in a preset position.
At least one of the detecting part 710 and the sensing part 720 is located on the rotating unit 500.
In a specific implementation, the sensing part 720 is a magnetic part, and the detecting part 710 is a sensor or a proximity switch. For example, the sensing part 720 is a magnet, and the detecting part 710 is a Hall sensor, which senses through magnetic attraction, so that the sensing of the detecting part 710 is more sensitive.
Sequentially referring to Figs. 1 to 27, according to the present disclosure, the swing structure 5 includes a connection assembly 530 and a turntable assembly 540 connected to the connection assembly 530. The turntable assembly 540 includes a driving turntable and at least one driven turntable 542 connected to the driving turntable 541. The driving turntable 541 and each driven turntable 542 may be configured to connect the hanger 200.
The driving part 520 is configured to drive the connecting assembly 530 to reciprocally swing at a variable speed along a preset angle, so as to drive the driving turntable 541 to reciprocally rotate at a preset angle around its axis, and each driven turntable 542 is linked with the driving turntable 541, so that the driven turntable 542 reciprocally rotates with variable speed around its axis along a preset angle.
Specifically, the driving part 520 may be a motor or a rotary cylinder, through reciprocal swing with a variable speed of the driving part 520 itself, or the rotation of the driving part 520 is transmitted to the connecting assembly 530, and the connecting assembly 530 converts the rotational motion into reciprocal swing with a variable speed, so that the driving turntable 541 is driven to reciprocally rotate around its axis with a variable speed along a preset angle, and the driven turntable 542 is driven to reciprocally rotate around its axis along a preset angle with a variable speed. In this way, the variable speed reciprocal rotation of the hanger 200 correspondingly connected with the driving turntable 541 and each driven turntable 542 can be realized, so that the clothes 160 have different accelerations during the swing process, which improves the twisting effect of the clothes 160 and facilitates shaking off foreign matter such as dust or lint on the clothes 160.
In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 530 may be a swing guide rod assembly, which is connected to the driving part 520, and the swing guide rod assembly converts the rotational motion of the driving part 520 into reciprocally swing with variable speed. Through the quick return characteristic of the swing guide rod assembly, the variable speed motion of the hanger 200 within the preset angle is realized, thereby making the clothes 160 have different accelerations during the swing process, so as to realize the slow speed of the clothes 160 during the twisting process, the return trip is quick, so that the clothes 160 have better inertia during the twisting process, thereby achieving a better twisting effect.
Sequentially referring to Figs. 15 to 21, in actual implementation, the swing rod guide assembly includes a swing rod 531, a slider 532 and a crank 533 connected to the slider 532. The swing rod 531 is connected to the driving turntable 541, and the swing rod 531 is provided with a swing rod chute 5311 extending along the extending direction of the swing rod 531, the slider 532 is inserted into the swing rod chute 5311, and the crank 533 is connected with the output shaft of the driving part 520, so that the driving part 520 drives the slider 532 to reciprocally slide in the swing rod chute 5311 through the crank 533, and the swing rod 531 drives the driving turntable 541 to reciprocally rotate at a preset angle around its axis.
In the present disclosure, the driving part 520 drives the crank 533 connected thereto to rotate around the axis of the output shaft of the driving part 520. During the rotation of the crank 533 by one circle, it drives the slider 532 to reciprocally slide along the extending direction of the swing bar chute 5311. During the sliding process of the slider 532, the swing rod 531 is driven to move and swing between the maximum position and the initial position on the left side in Fig. 21, and the maximum position on the right side in Fig. 20. The driving turntable 541 reciprocally rotates with variable speed around its axis along a preset angle by using the quick return characteristic of the swing rod 531 during the return process.
It should be noted that the preset angle may be determined based on the swing range of the swing rod 531. When the swing rod 531 is at the initial position (that is, the angle of the swing rod 531 in Fig. 19 is 0°), the slider 532 is located within the first end of the extending direction of the swing rod chute 5311. As the slider 532 slides from the first end of the extending direction of the swing rod chute 5311 to the middle of the swing rod chute 5311, the swing rod 531 swings to the maximum position on the left side in Fig. 21, and at this time, there is a first angle between the swing rod 531 and the initial position. As the slider 532 continues to slide, the slider 532 slides from the middle of the swing rod chute 5311 to the second end of the swing rod chute 5311 in the extending direction, and the swing rod 531 returns to the initial position. As the slider 532 continues to slide, the slider 532 slides from the second end of the swing rod chute 5311 in the extending direction to the middle of the swing rod chute 5311, and the swing rod 531 swings to the maximum position on the right side in Fig. 20. At this time, there is a second angle between the swing rod 531 and its initial position. The sum of the first angle and the second angle is the preset angle, that is, the first angle and the second angle jointly form the preset angle.
It can be understood that the process of the slider 532 sliding from the middle of the swing rod chute 5311 to the first end of the swing rod chute 5311 in the extending direction, or the process of the slider 532 sliding from the middle of the swing rod chute 5311 to the second end of the swing rod chute 5311 in the extending direction may be referred to as the return stroke of the swing rod 531.
In actual implementation, the first end of the swing rod 531 may be connected to the driving turntable 541, thereby preventing the first end of the swing rod 531 from interfering with other components during the reciprocal swing of the swing rod 531. The second end of the swing rod 531 is suspended in the air and is freely movable.
In the present disclosure, the swing guide rod assembly further includes a support frame of swing rod 534, and the support frame of swing rod 534 has a chute of swing-rod end 5341, and a portion of the swing rod 531 is located within the chute of swing-rod end 5341, and moves along the extending direction of the chute of swing-rod end 5341. Thus, the second end of the swing rod 531 suspended in the air and is freely movable through the chute of swing-rod end 5341 supporting the swing rod 531, so that the swing rod 531 can reciprocally swing smoothly.
In one embodiment, the chute of swing-rod end 5341 is arc-shaped, and the central angle of the chute of swing-rod end 5341 is greater than or equal to a preset angle. The swing rod 531 swings within the extended range of the chute of swing-rod end 5341. When the central angle of the chute of swing-rod end 5341 is equal to the preset angle, the swing rod 531 swings to the maximum position on the right side in Fig. 20, the side of the second end of the swing rod 531 abuts against one end of the chute of swing-rod end 5341, and the swing rod 531 swings to the maximum position on the left side in Fig. 21, and the side of the second end of the swing rod 531 abuts against the other end of chute of swing-rod end 5341, so as to limit the swing range of the swing rod 531 in the chute of swing-rod end 5341.
In a possible implementation manner, the second end of the swing rod 531 extends into the chute of swing-rod end 5341 through the notch of the chute of swing-rod end 5341. At this time, the end surface of the second end of the swing rod 531 is provided with a roller 5313, and the wheel surface of the roller 5313 is in rolling contact with the bottom of the chute of swing-rod end 5341; and/or, a roller 5313 is arranged on the swing rod 531, which is close to the second end of the swing rod 531, the wheel surface of the roller 5313 is in rolling contact with at least one inner wall of the chute of swing-rod end 5341.

In another possible implementation, the chute of swing-rod end 5341 may be a chute-like structure with a top wall communicated with the bottom wall, and the second end of the swing rod 531 extend out of the chute of swing-rod end 5341 through the notch and the bottom of the chute of swing-rod end 5341, a roller 5313 is arranged on the swing rod 531, the roller 5313 is close to the second end of the swing rod 531, and the wheel surface of the roller 5313 is in rolling contact with at least one inner side wall of the chute of swing-rod end 5341.
In order to facilitate the connection between the swing rod 531 and the driving turntable 541, in the present disclosure, the swing rod 531 further has a connection part of swing rod 5312, which is sleeved on the driving turntable 541 and detachably connected with the driving turntable 541. The swing rod chute 5311 is located between the connection part of swing rod 5312 and the roller 5313. For example, the connection part of swing rod 5312 has an ear seat and an ear hole arranged on the ear seat. Correspondingly, the driving dial 541 has an ear seat and an ear hole arranged on the ear seat. The screws pass through the ear holes on the connection part of swing rod 5312 and the ear holes on the driving turntable 541 in sequence to connect the swing rod 531 with the driving turntable 541.
In order to facilitate the installation of the turntable assembly 540, in some embodiments, the rotating unit 500 further includes a fixing frame 550, the fixing frame 550 has at least two turntable installation holes 551 arranged side by side at intervals, the driving turntable 541 and each driven turntable 542 are respectively installed in different turntable installation holes 551. When the number of turntable installation holes 551 is three or more, the driving turntable 541 is located within the turntable installation hole 551 in the middle of the fixing frame 550. Each driven turntable 542 is linked with the driving turntable 541, and the driving turntable 541 is arranged in the middle of each driven turntable 542, so that the force transmitted from the driving turntable 541 to each driven turntable 542 is relatively uniform.
In this embodiment, the driving turntable 541 and each driven turntable 542 may be connected through a connecting rod 535 to realize the linkage between each driven turntable 542 and the driving turntable 541. Specifically, the swing guide rod assembly includes a plurality of connecting rods 535, and each connecting rod 535 is sequentially hinged from head to tail to form two connecting-rod groups. The two connecting-rod groups are parallel to each other and located on opposite sides of the driving turntable 541 respectively.
The two ends of the connecting rod 535 in the same connecting-rod group are respectively hinged with the adjacent driven turntable 542, or the two ends of the connecting rod 535 in the same connecting-rod group are respectively hinged with the adjacent driven turntable 542 and the driving turntable 541;
the hinge points of the connecting rod 535 in the same connecting-rod group and the driving turntable 541 coincide with the hinge points of two adjacent connecting rods 535, and the hinge points of the connecting rod 535 and the driven turntable 542 in the same connecting-rod group coincide with the hinge points of the adjacent two connecting rods 535.
For ease of description, in this embodiment and the accompanying drawings, the number of connecting rods 535 is four, and the number of driven turntables 542 is two. Four connecting-rod groups forming by two connecting rods in each connecting-rod group form parallel four connecting rods. Two driven turntable 542 are respectively located on both sides of the driving turntable 541. The first end of the first connecting rod 535 is hinged to the first driven turntable 542. The second end of the first connecting rod 535, the first end of the second connecting rod 535 and the driving turntable 541 are hinged at the same point of the driving turntable 541, and the second end of the second connecting rod 535 is hinged to the second driven turntable 542. The third connecting rod 535 and the fourth connecting rod 535 are located on the other side of the driving turntable 541, the hinging method between it and the driving turntable 541 and each driven turntable 542 is the same as that of the first connecting rod 535 and the second connecting rod 535, which will not be repeated herein.
When the swing rod 531 is at the initial position, a distance J between the two hinge points of the connecting rod 535 on the driving turntable 541 is greater than or equal to 1mm and less than or equal to 2mm. In this way, a dislocation arrangement of the connecting rods is formed to prevent the swing rod 531 from being stuck at the dead point.
Sequentially referring to Figs. 15 to 27, the connection manner of the crank 533, the driving part 520 and the slider 532 will be described below.
The crank 533 has a first connecting part 5331 and a second connecting part 5332. The first connecting part 5331 is sleeved on the output shaft of the driving part 520 and fixedly connected with the output shaft of the driving part 520. The slider 532 has a sliding part of slider 5321 and an inserting part of slider 5322, the sliding part of slider 5321 is located within the swing rod chute 5311, the first end of the inserting part of slider 5322 is connected with the sliding part of slider 5321, and the inserting part of slider 5322 is inserted into the second connecting part 5332 and rotationally connected with the second connecting part 5332.
Specifically, both the first connecting part 5331 and the second connecting part 5332 may be in the shape of a sleeve, the first connecting part 5331 is sleeved on the output shaft of the driving part 520. A connecting shaft passes through the first connecting part 5331 and the output shaft of the driving part 520 from the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the first connecting part 5331, so that the connecting crank 533 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving part 520 to prevent mutual rotation of the two.
The peripheral side of the inserting part of slider 5322 further has a slider extension part 5323, and the slider extension part 5323 abuts against a side of the swing rod 531 facing the crank 533, thereby making the sliding part of slider 5321 slide in the swing rod chute 5311 to prevent the swing rod 531 from moving to the inserting part of slider 5322.
The second end of the inserting part of slider 5322 is located outside the second connecting part 5332, and a sliding gasket 5324 and a gasket sleeve 5325 are sleeved in sequence. Thus, abrasion caused by the direct sliding friction between the crank 533 and the slider 532 is avoided.
In order to facilitate the connection between the hanger 200 and the rotating unit 500, in the present disclosure, the rotating unit 500 further includes at least two rotating shaft assemblies, the driving turntable 541 and respective driven turntables 542 are respectively connected to the rotating shaft assemblies in one-to-one correspondence, and the rotating shaft assemblies are oppositely connected to the hanger 200.
Specifically, the rotating shaft assembly includes a rotating shaft 510 and a fixing base of rotating shaft 560, the rotating shaft 510 is sleeved on the fixing base of rotating shaft 560 and is rotatable relative to the fixing base of rotating shaft 560, and the fixing base of rotating shaft 560 is connected to the fixing frame 550.
The two ends of the rotating shaft 510 respectively have a first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 and a second inserting part of rotating shaft 513. The first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 is oppositely connected to the hanger 200, and the driving turntable 541 or each driven turntable 542 may be detachably connected to the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513.

The ends of the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 and the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513 away from the rotating shaft 510 may both be arranged in flat positions, that is, a part is cut along the axial direction of the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 or the axial direction of the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513, so that the cross section of the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 or the cross section of the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513 is D-shaped, thereby preventing the relative rotation between the hanger 200 and the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511, and the relative rotation between the driving turntable 541 or each driven turntable 542 and the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513.
It can be understood that the cross-section of a portion of the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 oppositely connected to the hanger 200 may also be triangular or other polygons, so as to prevent relative rotation between the hanger 200 and the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511. Alternatively, the cross-section of a portion of the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513 connected to the driving turntable 541 or each driven turntable 542 may also be triangular or other polygonal, so as to prevent the driving turntable 541 or each driven turntable 542 from relative rotation respective to the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513.
A bearing 514 and a bearing cover 515 are sleeved on the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 and the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513, and at least one bearing cover 515 is fixedly connected or integrally formed with the fixing base of rotating shaft 560. The inner ring of the bearing 514 is sleeved on the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 or the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513, and the outer ring of the bearing 514 is fixedly connected to the fixing base of rotating shaft 560, so that the rotating shaft 510 rotates relative to the fixing base of rotating shaft 560. The bearing 514 may be a ball bearing, so that the rotation of the rotating shaft 510 makes less noise, and achieves a better mute effect. In a specific implementation, the diameters of the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 and the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513 may be smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft 510, so that shaft shoulders are respectively formed at the joint between the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 and the rotating shaft 510, and the joint between the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513 and the rotating shaft 510, and the bearing 514 abuts against the shaft shoulder, so that the bearing 514 is installed and fixed.
The fixing base of rotating shaft 560 protects the rotating shaft 510 and the bearing 514 from being directly impacted by hot wind or hot air, so as to improve the service life of the rotating shaft 510 and the bearing 514.
Both the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 and the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513 are sleeved with a bearing sleeve 516, the bearing sleeve 516 has a first stop part 5161, and the driving turntable 541 and/or each driven turntable 542 has a second stop part 543 matching with the first stop part. The number of the first stop part 5161 and the second stop part 543 may be at least one, one of the first stop part 5161 and the second stop part 543 is a groove, and the other is a notch matching with the groove, thereby preventing the relative rotation between the hanger 200 and the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511, and the relative rotation between the driving turntable 541 or each driven turntable 542 and the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513. The first stop part 5161 and the second stop part 543 may also be in the above-mentioned flat positions, and at this time, the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 and the second inserting part of rotating shaft 513 may not be provided in a flat position.
In some embodiments, the rotating unit 500 further includes a support frame of driving part 570, the driving part 520 is installed on the support frame of driving part 570, the support frame of driving part 570 is connected to the fixed frame 550, and the support frame of swing rod 534 is connected to the support frame of driving part 570. In this way, the components in the rotating unit 500 are connected together to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the rotating unit 500 as a whole.
The rotating unit 500 further includes a upper cover of rotating unit 580, the upper cover of rotating unit 580 is covered on the fixing frame 550 and forms a rotating unit cavity with the fixing frame 550, the support frame of swing rod 534, the support frame of driving part 570, the swing rod 531, the slider 532 and the turntable assembly 540 are located within the rotating unit cavity.
In actual implementation, the fixing frame 550 has at least one shock absorbing pad of fixing frame 552 on a side of the upper cover of rotating unit 580, and the shock absorbing pad of fixing frame 552 abuts against the upper cover of rotating unit 580. Therefore, the noise generated during the operation of the rotating unit 500 and the resonance between the rotating unit 500 and the machine body can be reduced.
Sequentially referring to Figs. 15 to 18, and in combination with the specific structure of the rotating unit 500, different installation positions of the detecting assembly 700 will be described below.
In a possible implementation manner, one of the detecting part 710 and the sensing part 720 is located on the swing rod 531, and the other is located on the chute of swing-rod end 5341. In this embodiment, an example where the detecting part 710 is located on the chute of swing-rod end 5341, and the sensing part 720 is located on the swing rod 531 is taken for illustration. For example, the detecting part 710 is located on the inner side wall of the chute of swing-rod end 5341, and the sensing part 720 is located on the surface of the swing rod 531 facing the chute of swing-rod end 5341; alternatively, the detecting part 710 is located on the inner bottom wall of the chute of swing-rod end 5341, and the sensing part 720 is located on the end face of the swing rod 531 facing the chute of swing-rod end 5341.
In another possible implementation manner, one of the detecting part 710 and the sensing part 720 is located on the swing rod 531, and the other is located on a side of the upper cover of rotating unit 580 facing the swing rod 531.

In this embodiment and the accompanying drawings, an example where the sensing part 720 is located on the swing rod 531 and the detecting part 710 is located on the side of the upper cover of rotating unit 580 facing the swing rod 531 is taken for illustration. The swing rod 531 passes through the outside of the chute of swing-rod end 5341, and an installation groove of detecting assembly 5315 is provided on the swing rod 531 passing through the outside of the chute of swing-rod end 5341, and the sensing part 720 is embedded in the installation groove of detecting assembly 5315, the detecting part 710 is located on the upper cover of the rotating unit 580 and faces the sensing part 720. The sensing part 720 is arranged outside the chute of swing-rod end 5341 to prevent the sensing part 720 from affecting the installation of the roller 5313. The wheel surface of the roller 5313 may be equal to or larger than the inner wall of the chute of swing-rod end 5341, thereby ensuring that the roller 5313 has a larger contact area with the inner side wall of the chute of swing-rod end 5341, so that the chute of swing-rod end 5341 can roll the swing rod 531 stably through the roller 5313, therefore, the swing rod 531 can swing smoothly.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 38, in order to facilitate the connection of the hanger 200 in the inner container 120, the clothing care machine according to the present disclosure further includes a transfer structure 600. The transfer structure 600 includes a transfer housing 610 and a flow guiding assembly 620 arranged on the side of the transfer housing 610. The hanger 200 is detachably connected to the care system through the transfer housing 610, so that the airflow provided by the care system for caring the clothes 160 is guided into the clothes 160 on the hanger 200 through the airflow channel of hanger 430 and the top of the hanger 200 in sequence, and the flow guiding assembly 620 communicates with the liquid channel 350, so that the liquid provided by the care system for caring the clothes is guided into the clothes 160 through the liquid channel 350 and the side of the hanger 200 on the hanger 200 in sequence.
In this embodiment, by arranging the flow guiding assembly 620 on the side of the transfer housing 610, the hanger 200 is detachably connected to the care system through the transfer housing 610, so that the airflow in the airflow channel of hanger 430 of the care system enter the clothes 160 on the hanger 200 through the top of the hanger 200; the flow guiding assembly 620 is communicated with the liquid channel 350 to allow the liquid of the liquid channel 350 to enter the clothes 160 on the hanger 200 through the side of the hanger 200. In this way, the rotatable hanger 200 can simultaneously allow the entry of airflow and liquid through the transfer structure 600, and the entry of airflow and liquid do not affect each other, thereby improving the care effect of the clothes.
In actual implementation, the rotating shaft 510 of the rotating unit 500 is inserted into the airflow channel of hanger 430 of the air supply unit 400, thereby saving space and making the clothing care machine more compact. A portion of the rotating shaft 510 protrudes from the airflow channel of hanger 430 to be detachably connected to the transfer housing 610, so as to drive the hanger 200 to rotate through the transfer housing 610. The rotating shaft 510 may be connected to the transfer housing 610 through detachable connection methods such as screws and clamping. Thus, the transfer structure 600 can be disassembled from the rotating shaft 510 of the rotating unit 500, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the transfer structure 600.
Specifically, the rotating shaft 510, the transfer structure 600 and the hanger 200 may be provided in one-to-one correspondence, that is, one rotating shaft 510 is connected to one transfer housing 610, and one transfer housing 610 is connected to one hanger 200. Each rotating shaft 510 may be driven to reciprocally swing by the same driving component, or each rotating shaft 510 may be provided with an independent driving component to drive it to reciprocally swing.
Sequentially referring to Figs. 28 to 38, in some embodiments, the rotating shaft 510 has a liquid inlet hole extending along its axis to form a liquid channel 350. The flow guiding assembly 620 partially extends into the transfer housing 610 and is relatively communicated with the liquid inlet hole. Thus, the liquid channel 350 is integrated into the rotating shaft 510, thereby saving the space occupied by the liquid channel 350.
In the present disclosure, the transfer housing 610 has an transfer accommodating chamber 611, the transfer accommodating chamber 611 has an transfer connection seat 612, the transfer connection seat 612 and the inner wall of the transfer accommodating chamber 611 are connected through at least two ribs 613, the transfer connecting seat 612 has an accommodating groove 6121, the rotating shaft 510 is inserted into the accommodating groove 6121 and is detachably connected with the transfer connecting seat 612.
It can be understood that the number of ribs 613 may be two or more. In the drawings of this embodiment, an example where the number of ribs 613 is four is taken for illustration, the transfer accommodating chamber 611 may be rectangular, and the four ribs 613 are arranged in a cross shape to fix the transfer connecting seat 612 in the middle region of the transfer accommodating chamber 611.
The rotating shaft 510 may have a first inserting part of rotating shaft 511. The cross section of the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 may be D-shaped, triangular or other polygonal. The accommodating groove 6121 matches the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511, and the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 is inserted into the accommodating groove 6121 to prevent the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 from rotating relative to the accommodating groove 6121. The groove bottom of the accommodating groove 6121 has a through hole communicating with the accommodating groove 6121, and the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 has a threaded hole, and the screw passes through the through hole and connects with the threaded hole, so as to detachably connect the rotating shaft 510 to the transfer connecting seat 612.
The transfer connecting seat 612 has a pipeline connector 6122 that communicates with the accommodating groove 6121, and a first end of the pipeline connector 6122 is communicated with the liquid inlet hole. The flow guiding assembly 620 partially extends into the transfer housing 610 and communicates with a second end of the pipeline connector 6122. Thus, the flow guiding assembly 620 is communicated with the liquid channel 350 through the pipeline joint 6122.
In some embodiments, there is a sealing ring of rotating shaft 512 between the accommodating groove 6121 and the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511, and the surface of the sealing ring of rotating shaft 512 facing the accommodating groove 6121 and the surface facing the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511 both have waterproof ribs. When the rotating shaft 510 and the transfer connecting seat 612 are connected by screws, the sealing ring of rotating shaft 512 is squeezed to seal the contact surface between the accommodating groove 6121 and the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511, thereby preventing the liquid leakage between the accommodating groove 6121 and the first inserting part of rotating shaft 511.
Sequentially referring to Figs. 14, 29, 30, and 33 to 34, in order to facilitate the airflow provided by the air supply unit 400 to enter the hanger 200 through the transfer structure 600, in some embodiments, the transfer housing 610 has opposite first opening 614 and second opening 615, both of which are communicated with the transfer housing 611. The rotating shaft 510 is inserted into the accommodating groove 6121 through the first opening 614. The first opening 614 is opposite to the airflow channel of hanger 430 and is communicated with the airflow channel of hanger 430. The top of the hanger 200 has an air inlet of hanger 210, the second opening 615 is opposite to the air inlet of hanger 210 and is communicated with the air inlet of hanger 210. The hanger 200 has a cavity 220, and the air inlet of hanger 210 is communicated with the cavity 220. The bottom of the hanger 200 has at least one air outlet of hanger 230 communicated with the cavity 220. Thus, the airflow provided by the air supply unit 400 can enter the hanger 200 through the first opening 614, the transfer accommodating chamber 611, the second opening 615 and the air inlet of hanger 210 in sequence, and then enter the clothes 160 hung on the hanger 200 from the cavity 220 in the hanger 200 and the air outlet of hanger 230.
In actual implementation, the air inlet of hanger 210 is located within the region covered by the second opening 615, and the rib plate 613 divides the transfer accommodating chamber 611 into at least two wind transfer regions 6111, and the sum of the cross-sectional areas of respective wind transfer regions 6111 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the air inlet of hanger 210 and smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second opening 615. That is, the sum of the cross-sectional area of the second opening 615 and the cross-sectional areas of respective wind transfer regions 6111, and the cross-sectional area of the hanger air inlet 210 are successively reduced, thereby allowing the airflow to smoothly enter the air inlet of hanger 210 through the second opening 615 and each wind transfer region 6111.
Sequentially referring to Figs. 28, 32 to 38, in the present disclosure, the flow guiding assembly 620 may include a flow guide tube 621, a fixing base 622 and an openable and closable valve 623. The transfer housing 610 further has an installation chamber 616, the installation chamber 616 is located on the side of the transfer accommodating chamber 611. The fixing base 622 is partially inserted into the installation cavity 616 and extends toward the hanger 200. The fixing base 622 may be connected with the installation chamber 616 by screws, so as to fix the fixing base 622 on the transfer housing 610.
Specifically, the fixing base 622 has a flow guiding channel 6221. The first end of the flow guiding tube 621 extends into the transfer housing 610 and is communicated with the second end of the pipeline joint 6122. The second end of the flow guiding tube 621 is communicated with the first end of the flow guiding channel 6221, and the valve 623 is located within the flow guiding channel 6221 to close the second end of the flow guiding channel 6221. Thus, the liquid provided by the liquid supply unit 300 flows to the flow guiding channel 6221 through the liquid channel 350, the pipeline connector 6122 and the flow guide tube 621 in sequence, and is blocked in the flow guiding channel 6221 by the openable and closable valve 623. When the hanger 200 is connected to the transfer housing 610, the valve 623 can be opened, so that the liquid in the flow guiding channel 6221 flows into the hanger 200.
In order to prevent the flow guiding tube 621 located within the transfer housing 610 from occupying the space of the wind transfer region 6111, in some embodiments, the flow guiding tube 621 located within the transfer housing 610 is located above a rib 613 and at least partially overlapped with the rib 613. In other words, the projection of the flow guiding tube 621 located within the transfer housing 610 is all located on the opposite rib plate 613, and the width of the rib plate 613 may be greater than or equal to the width of the flow guiding tube 621 (also called is the diameter of the flow guiding tube 621). In a specific implementation, the flow guiding tube 621 located within the transfer housing 610 may abut against the rib 613 opposite to the flow guiding tube 621 or a gap is presented between them.
In some embodiments, the flow guiding assembly 620 further includes an inlet pressure plate 624 connected to the fixing seat 622, the inlet pressure plate 624 is opposite to the second end of the flow guiding channel 6221 and communicated with the second end of the flow guiding channel 6221. The valve 623 includes an elastic part 6231, a sealing head 6232 and a sealing seat of pressure plate 6233. The first end of the elastic part 6231 is connected to the inner wall of the flow guiding channel 6221, and the second end of the elastic piece 6231 is connected to the sealing head 6232. The sealing head 6232 abuts against the sealing seat of pressure plate 6233 to block the sealing seat of pressure plate 6233.
In a specific implementation, the elastic part 6231 may be a spring or an elastic sleeve. The sealing head 6232 may be spherical or hemispherical, for example, the sealing head 6232 is a stainless steel ball. The sealing seat of pressure plate 6233 may be a sleeve with extended sides.
Specifically, the first end of the sealing seat of pressure plate 6233 is inserted into the flow guiding channel 6221 through the second end of the flow guiding channel 6221, the first end of the sealing seat of pressure plate 6233 has a chamfer 6234, the sealing head 6232 abuts against the chamfer 6234, the second end of the sealing seat of pressure plate 6233 abuts between the end surface of the second end of the flow guiding channel 6221 and the inlet pressure plate 624. The chamfer 6234 may be a rounded corner or a beveled corner, so that the sealing head 6232 and the first end of the sealing seat of pressure plate 6233 fit closely.

When the hanger 200 is inserted into the transfer housing 611 through the second opening 615, the extension part 260 is inserted into the slide rail 6112 and moves along the slide rail 6112. Through the cooperation of the slide rail 6112 and the extension part 260, the hanger 200 is slidably connected to the transfer housing 610, so that the hanger 200 may be easily disassembled from the transfer housing 610.
In a possible implementation manner, the slide rail 6112 is located on the top of the hanger 200, and the extension part 260 is located on the end surface of the lower part of the transfer accommodating chamber 611, or the extension part 260 is located on the top of the hanger 200, and the slide rail 6112 is located on the end surface of the lower part of the transfer accommodating chamber 611. The extension part 260 may be a T-shaped slider or a dovetail slider, and correspondingly, the slide rail 6112 is a T-shaped slot or a dovetail slot matching the extension part 260.
In another possible implementation manner, the slide rail 6112 is located on the outer side wall of the upper part of the hanger 200, the extension part 260 is located on the outer side wall or the inner side wall of the lower part of the transfer accommodating chamber 611, and the upper part of the hanger 200 is covered on the outside of the lower part of the transfer accommodating chamber 611 or the chamber of the upper part of the hanger 200 inserted into the lower part of the transfer accommodating cavity 611, so that the extension part 260 is plugged into the slide rail 6112 and moves along the slide rail 6112.
In the present disclosure, the number of slide rails 6112 is two, thereby preventing the hanger 200 from tilting during the sliding process, so that the hanger 200 can slide stably.
In the drawings of the present disclosure, the two sliding rails 6112 are respectively located on the opposite inner walls of the lower part of the transfer accommodating chamber 611, the extension part 260 is located on the top of the hanger 200, and the top of the hanger 200 is plugged into the transfer housing 610, the extension part 260 may be provided around the top of the hanger 200, thereby facilitating the provision of the extension part 260 on the hanger 200.

That is, the slide rail 6112 extends from one side of the door body 130 to the side opposite to the door body 130, so that after opening the door body 130, the user can directly push the hanger 200 into the inner container 120, thus, the hanger 200 is plugged into the transfer housing 610 to facilitate the connection between the hanger 200 and the transfer housing 610.
When the hanger 200 is installed on the transfer housing 610 through the mutual cooperation of the extension part 260 and the slide rail 6112, in order to maintain the relative position of the hanger 200 and the transfer housing 610, in some embodiments, the inner side wall of the transfer accommodating chamber 611 has at least one locking groove 6113, the hanger 200 has at least one buckle 270 matching the locking groove 6113. When the extension part 260 moves along the slide rail 6112 to the preset position, the buckle 270 is locked in the lock groove 6113, so that the hanger 200 is clamped on the transfer housing 610, and the hanger 200 is fixed relative to the transfer housing 610 at this time. At this time, the one-way joint 240 on the hanger 200 abuts against the sealing head 6232 through the inlet pressure plate 624 and the sealing seat of pressure plate 6233 in sequence, and keeps the sealing head 6232 away from the sealing seat of pressure plate 6233, thereby communicating the spray assembly 250 and the flow guiding channel 6221. Alternatively, under the action of external force, the buckle 270 is out of clamping with the lock groove 6113, at this time, the hanger 200 is movable, and the extension part 260 moves relative to the slide rail 6112, so that the hanger 200 is detached from the transfer housing 610, that is, the hanger 200 is disassembled from the transfer housing 610.
In actual implementation, the hanger 200 has an elastic button 280 connected to the buckle 270. When the hanger 200 is detached from the transfer housing 610, the elastic button 280 on the hanger 200 is pressed, and the buckle 270 moves towards the inside of the hanger 200, and leaves from the clamping position with the lock groove 6113 to disengage from the lock groove 6113. Two buckles 270 and two elastic buttons 280 may be arranged in one-to-one correspondence, the two elastic buttons 280 are respectively located on opposite sides of the hanger 200. Correspondingly, the two buckles 270 are respectively located on opposite sides of the hanger 200.
In some embodiments, the locking groove 6113 communicates with the slide rail 6112, and the locking groove 6113 extends toward the hanger 200, thus, the locking groove 6113 and the slide rail 6112 may be integrally formed to facilitate the processing of the locking groove 6113 with slide rail 6112.
In the present disclosure, when the hanger 200 is plugged into the transfer accommodating chamber 611 through the second opening 615, the extension part 260 is inserted into the slide rail 6112 and moves along the slide rail 6112, and the buckle 270 abuts against the inner wall of the transfer accommodating chamber 611. When the extension part 260 moves to the preset position along the slide rail 6112, the lock 270 enters into the locking groove 6113, a "click" sound is produced, and at this time, the hanger 200 and the transfer housing 610 are locked, each wind transfer region 6111 is opposite to the air inlet of hanger 210 of the hanger 200, and the airflow can enter the hanger 200, thereby realizing the blowing function to the inside of the clothes 160, which speeds up the drying and shaping of the clothes. At the same time, the synchronous movement of the hanger 200, the transfer structure 600 and the rotating shaft 510 can be realized, so as to prevent the hanger 200 from shifting and falling off when the rotating shaft 510 rotates.
In conclusion, the hanger 200 in the clothing care machine of the present disclosure can simultaneously allow entry of the airflow (through the dotted line box on the right side of Fig. 35) and liquid (through the dotted line box on the left side of Fig. 35 into the liquid) through the transfer structure 600 , and the entry of airflow and liquid do not affect each other, the transfer structure 600 can realize the connection of the hanger 200 and the spray assembly 250, the transfer of the air supply unit 400 and the rotating unit 500 at the same time, and the structure is compact. The hanger 200 not only plays the role of supporting the clothes, but when the liquid enters, the spray assembly 250 inside the hanger 200 sprays the inside of the clothes 160 to improve the care effect; and the airflow can be dried from inside of the clothes 160 through the hanger 200, improving care efficiency.
