在本申请的描述中，需要说明的是，除非另有明确的规定和限定，术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解，例如，可以是固定连接，也可以是可拆卸连接，或一体地连接；可以是机械连接，也可以是电连接；可以是直接相连，也可以通过中间媒介间接相连，可以是两个元件内部的连通。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言，可以具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。
在本申请中，除非另有明确的规定和限定，第一特征在第二特征之“上” 或之“下”可以包括第一和第二特征直接接触，也可以包括第一和第二特征不是直接接触而是通过它们之间的另外的特征接触。而且，第一特征在第二特征“之上”、“上方”和“上面”包括第一特征在第二特征正上方和斜上方，或仅仅表示第一特征水平高度高于第二特征。第一特征在第二特征“之下”、“下方”和“下面”包括第一特征在第二特征正下方和斜下方，或仅仅表示第一特征水平高度小于第二特征。
本申请实施例提供了一种衣物处理设备，请参阅图1至图6，包括：筒体组件10、第一加热件40、第一供水管路50、连接件20及控制器(图中未示出)。筒体组件10包括外桶11以及转动地设置于外桶11内的内筒12。内筒12内的空间为衣物处理腔12a。筒体组件10沿轴向的前端敞开以形成衣物取放口，用户可从该衣物取放口取放衣物。
第一供水管路50连通外部水源(如自来水)，且第一供水管路50上设置供水阀80，由供水阀80的开关状态控制第一供水管路50与外部水源连通与否。
请参阅图1至图4，外桶11的内部具有贮水区11a。第一加热件40设置于贮水区11a，可以对贮水区11a内的水进行加热。
示例性地，如图1所示，衣物处理设备包括箱体60，筒体组件10设置于箱体60内。
可以理解的是，内筒12设置有多个通孔12b，内筒12与外桶11之间可以通过多个通孔12b与衣物处理腔12a进行气流和/或水流交换。通孔12b的数量可以不限，只要能够满足内筒12与外桶11之间的气流和/或水流交换即可。
通孔12b的具体形状不限，例如，可以是圆形、椭圆形、多边形等，在此不做具体限定。
通孔12b在内筒12上的具体位置不限，示例性地，一些实施例中，所 有的通孔12b均设置于内筒12的周向筒壁121上；另一些实施例中，所有的通孔12b设置于内筒12远离衣物取放口一端的后壁122上；又一些实施例中，部分通孔12b设置在内筒12的周向筒壁121上，另一部分通孔12b设置在内筒12沿轴向的后壁122上。在此不做具体限定。
示例性地，连接件20设置于外桶11上，连接件20具有用于将第一供水管路50的水引流至外桶11内部的供水结构。即第一供水管路50上的水可以由该供水结构导流至外桶11内部，并在外桶11内由重力的作用汇聚至贮水区11a。
示例性地，控制器配置为在蒸汽洗模式下(本实施例所称的蒸汽洗模式，包括洗涤过程的蒸汽利用，还包括烘干过程的蒸汽利用)基于贮水区11a的水位控制供水阀80的工作状态，使得贮水区11a处于设定水位范围，并控制第一加热件40在设定水位范围加热贮水区11a内的水以产生蒸汽。产生的蒸汽可以经过上述的通孔12b进入衣物处理腔12a内，以对衣物处理腔12a的衣物进行护理。
需要说明的是，蒸汽洗模式主要是基于加热产生的蒸汽对衣物处理腔12a内的衣物进行杀菌、除臭、熨烫等护理，因此，在蒸汽洗模式下，应尽量避免进水打湿衣物。
该设定水位范围可以满足第一加热件40加热所需的安全水位，以避免第一加热件40干烧损坏自身及周边的器件，且该设定水位范围可以避免贮水区11a内的水进入内筒12打湿衣物。示例性地，设定水位范围高于第一加热件40的最高位置，且低于内筒12的转动轨迹的最低点，从而使得第一加热件40加热过程中，贮水区11a的水位处于安全水位。
本申请实施例的衣物处理设备，当需要开启蒸汽模式时，第一供水管路50的水由连接件20上的供水结构引流至外桶11内部，可以避免传统方式进水打湿衣物，并基于贮水区11a内的水位控制第一供水管路50上的供 水阀80，使得贮水区11a处于设定水位范围，加热件对贮水区11a内的水进行加热并产生蒸汽，蒸汽对衣物处理腔12a内的衣物进行杀菌、除臭、熨烫等护理，无需额外设置蒸汽发生器，且利用外桶11内的空间安装加热件，结构简单，使得衣物处理设备结构紧凑；此外，连接件20上设置的供水结构可以在给贮水区11a供水的过程中避免打湿衣物，利于满足蒸汽洗的要求，提升用户体验。
示例性地，如图7和图8所示，连接件20上的供水结构包括：进水口21和出水口22。进水口21开设于连接件20上且位于外桶11的外侧，进水口21连接第一供水管路50。出水口22开设于连接件20上且位于外桶11的内侧。相应地，外桶11上于连接件20的安装处设有供出水口22伸入的贯通口11b。
需要说明的是，外桶11的侧壁包括周向侧壁112和后侧壁111，贯通口11b可以设置在周向侧壁112上，也可以设置在后侧壁111上，在此不做限制。
示例性地，如图5所示，贯通口11b设置于外桶11沿轴向的后侧壁111上，连接件20设置于后侧壁111的后方。这样，不仅节省了连接件20的安装空间，还可以使得出水口22伸入外桶11内后位于内筒12的后侧壁111的后方，避免了出水口22流出的水直接进入内筒12内打湿衣物。
示例性地，连接件20上开设安装孔24，外桶11的后侧壁111上可以设置于该安转孔配合的安装位，连接件20可以经螺钉锁紧固定于外桶11上。例如，如图6所示，连接件20经四个螺钉固锁紧固定于外桶11的后侧壁111上。
一些实施例中，衣物处理设备还包括：烘道组件30；连接件20还连通外桶11的内部与烘道组件30的入口；相应地，至少部分蒸汽依次经连接件20、烘道组件30后进入内筒12。
示例性地，衣物处理设备包括：设置于外桶11的顶侧设置烘道组件30及设置于筒体组件10前侧的前门封，连接件20的内部呈镂空结构，连接件20的顶部设置与烘道组件30的入口连接的连通口23，使得连接件20的出水口22可以作为烘道组件30的进风口。前门封的顶部可以设置内筒12进风口，烘道组件30的出风口连通该内筒12进风口。
可以理解的是，烘道组件30内可以配置第二加热件和风机；蒸汽洗模式下，控制器还控制风机运行及第二加热件工作。该风机可以给外桶11内的气流流入烘道组件30提供鼓风力，该第二加热件可以在烘道组件30内对气流再次加热，进而产生蒸汽和/或过热蒸气，例如，第一加热件加热后产生的蒸汽，部分蒸汽可以经内筒12的通孔12b与衣物处理腔12a内的衣物混合，以对衣物进行杀菌、除臭、熨烫等护理，部分蒸汽还可以自下而上流动，依次经出水口22、连通口23进入烘道组件30内，并被第二加热件再次加热后，形成过热蒸气，然后经内筒12进风口，以对衣物处理腔12a内的衣物进行护理。如此，可以实现双蒸汽(第一加热件40加热生成的蒸汽和第二加热件加热生成的过热蒸气)对衣物处理腔12a内的衣物进行护理，可以有效改善蒸汽洗模式下的工作效率。
需要说明的是，第一加热件40加热后的蒸汽被引入烘道组件30后，经第二加热件二次加热，可以转换为气态的过热蒸气，即温度≥100℃的水蒸气，过热蒸气在风机的作用下引入内筒12，以对衣物处理腔12a内的衣物进行杀菌、除臭、熨烫等护理，该过热蒸气可以更好地起到杀菌、除味及熨烫的效果，利于提升用户体验。
这里，第一加热件40、第二加热件的具体类型不限，只要能够起到加热作用即可。示例性地，第一加热件40及第二加热均可以为电加热管。
需要说明的是，蒸汽洗模式可以为可以是独立的处理程序，也可能为某一处理程序内的处理过程，如蒸汽洗模式也可能为烘干模式内的处理过 程，以消除烘干后衣物的褶皱；与之相似的，烘干模式可以为独立的处理程序，也可能为某一处理程序内的处理过程，在一些特定的处理程序中，蒸汽洗模式以及烘干模式可能共存。
示例性地，外桶11上的贯通口11b开设于后侧壁111靠近顶端的位置，即贯通口11b设置在后侧壁111的上部，也就是说，贯通口11b的位置高于内筒12的转动中心线所在高度，相应地，连接件20安装于后侧壁111的上部(如图6所示)。基于该结构，可以使得出水口22的出水位置较高，如此，自出水口22流出的水可以与外桶11内自下而上沿出水口22进入烘道组件30的蒸汽进行热交换，使得进入至贮水区11a的水可以得到预热，第一加热件40可以减少加热产生蒸汽所需的耗时及能量消耗，利于外桶11内及时产生蒸汽洗所需的蒸汽，加速外桶11内蒸汽的生成效率。
可以理解的是，连接件20上的出水口22既作为第一供水管路50的水的出口，又作为外桶11内的气流进入烘道组件30内的入口，在连接件20的内腔，第一供水管路50的水与待进入烘道组件30的气流可以充分混合，进行热交换，且自出水口22导出的水在重力的作用下亦可以与自下而上的气流(即蒸汽)接触并产生热交换，从而使得汇聚至贮水口的水的温度可以达到设定温度，可以缩短第一加热件40加热产生蒸汽的时长，加速外桶11内蒸汽的生成效率。
一些实施例中，连接件20上设置用于过滤空气中毛屑的毛屑阻挡结构，第一供水管路50的水还用于清洗毛屑阻挡结构。
可以理解的是，在蒸汽洗模式下，与衣物混合作用后的蒸汽中容易携带毛屑等杂质，该毛屑阻挡结构可以对气流中的毛屑等杂质进行过滤，第一供水管路50的水还用于清洗该毛屑阻挡结构，即可以利用除毛屑的水流实现蒸汽进水，既可以简化供水管路的结构设置，又可以避免传统的进水方式打湿衣物，从而实现了蒸汽洗模式下自动除毛屑和蒸汽补水的统一控 制。
一些实施例中，毛屑阻挡结构包括：设置于供水结构的出水口22处用于阻止毛屑进入连接件20的内腔的滤网；和/或，设置于连接件20的内腔的至少部分区域用于吸附毛屑的筋条25。
在一示例中，通过在出水口22处设置滤网，可以有效阻挡毛屑等杂质随着气流进入烘道组件30内。
在另一示例中，可以省去滤网，在连接件20的内腔设置多个筋条25，相邻筋条25之间凹槽可以有效吸附流经气流中携带的毛屑等杂质，且该类杂质可以被第一供水管路50的水流自动清理，亦能起到有效阻止毛屑等杂质随着气流进入烘道组件30内的效果。连接件20内腔中的筋条25可以一体成型于连接件20的内壁上。
一些实施例中，供水结构还包括：喷淋结构(图中未示出)，连通进水口21，用于在连接件20的内腔形成喷淋水，喷淋结构的出口朝向毛屑阻挡结构，以清洗附着于连接件20内壁上的毛屑或者滤网上毛屑。示例性地，该喷淋结构可以为开设于连接件20内壁处的文丘里形喷嘴，从而在连接件20的内腔形成喷淋水，该喷淋水可以增强清洗连接件20内壁上附着的毛屑的效果，避免蒸汽洗过程中衣物上的毛屑等杂质带入烘道组件30内，导致的安全隐患。可以理解的是，该供水结构具有向第一加热件40提供水源及清洗毛屑的双重作用，可以减少衣物处理设备上的管路设置，进一步降低设备成本。
示例性地，一些实施例中，内筒12沿轴向的后壁122设置有多个通孔12b，各通孔12b与内筒12的转动轴线之间的距离均小于或均大于贯通口11b与内筒12的转动轴线之间的距离。也就是说，在垂直于内筒12的转动轴线的平面投影中，贯通口11b与内筒12的转动轴线之间的距离大于或小于各通孔12b对应的转动半径，即贯通口11b在所述内筒12沿轴向后壁122 上的投影与各通孔12b所在区域不重合。如此，可以有效避免出水口22导出水直接经内筒12上通孔12b进入内筒12打湿衣物。
一些实施例中，蒸汽洗模式下，控制器控制内筒12以设定转速转动。
可以理解的是，当内筒12在转动过程中，从出水口22流入外桶11内的水至少一部分会被处于转动状态的轴向后壁122弹射开，降低水流从通孔12b进入衣物处理腔12a的可能性，从而降低水流打湿衣物处理腔12a内衣物的可能性。此外，在内筒12的转动过程中，出水口22在内筒12的轴向后壁122上扫过的轨迹大致为圆环区，而内筒12相应于该圆环区没有设置通孔12b，如此，从出水口22流入外桶11的水流即使以较大的速度冲向内筒12的轴向后壁122，该水流也会被轴向后壁122阻挡，而不会径直穿过通孔12b，如此，能够降低出水口22的水流进入衣物处理腔12a的可能性，从而降低了蒸汽洗模式下水打湿衣物处理腔12a内的衣物的可能性。
本申请实施例中，连接件20的具体结构不限。示例性地，连接件20可以为与外桶11的后侧壁111的上方贴合的结构，出水口22自外桶11的贯通口11b伸入至外桶11内部，且连接件20整体罩设于该贯通口11b处，且与该贯通口11b密封连接。连接件20的连通口23与烘道组件30的入口连接。该连接件20的体积小，所需安装空间也比较小，在衣物处理设备的筒体组件10的尺寸相同的情况下，本实施例的衣物处理设备沿轴向和高度方向具有更小的外观尺寸。
一些实施例中，外桶11底部的部分区域向下凸出以在外桶11的内侧形成凹陷的贮水区11a。请参阅图1，贮水区11a的位置低于内筒12的转动轨迹的最低点，从出水口22进入外桶11内的水可以在重力作用下汇集至贮水区11a内，无需设置特殊的引流结构即可使得水汇集到贮水区11a。
一些实施例中，衣物处理设备还包括：低液位传感器71和高液位传感器72，低液位传感器71和高液位传感器72均用于检测贮水区11a内的水 位。其中，低液位传感器71和高液位传感器72均设置于外桶11沿轴向的后侧壁111上；高液位传感器72的检测水位高于低液位传感器71的检测水位且低于内筒12的转动轨迹的最低点，低液位传感器71的检测水位高于第一加热件40的最高位置。低液位传感器71和高液位传感器72均与控制器通讯连接，低液位传感器71和高液位传感器72发出检测信号，控制器根据检测信号识别贮水区11a内的水位是否合适。
低液位传感器71和高液位传感器72的安装位置不限，示例性地，请参阅图2，低液位传感器71和高液位传感器72均设置于外桶11的后侧壁111上。一方面，便于从后侧壁111的后方进行安装，另一方面，也便于在后侧壁111的后侧集中布置低液位传感器71、高液位传感器72和加热件的电线。
低液位传感器71的具体类型不限，只要能够检测水位即可。高液位传感器72的具体类型不限，只要能够检测水位即可。
一些实施例中，控制器基于贮水区11a的水位控制供水阀80的工作状态，包括：
基于高液位传感器72的检测信号确定贮水区11a的水位高于高液位传感器72的检测水位，则控制供水阀80关闭；
基于低液位传感器71的检测信号确定贮水区11a的水位低于低液位传感器71的检测水位，则控制供水阀80开启。
可以理解的是，控制器基于高液位传感器72的检测信号确定贮水区11a的水位高于高液位传感器72的检测水位，则判定贮水区11a的水溢流至内筒12内的风险，控制供水阀80关闭，从而停止出水口22供水至外桶11内；控制器基于低液位传感器71的检测信号确定贮水区11a的水位低于低液位传感器71的检测水位，则判定贮水区11a的水量偏少，控制供水阀80开启，由出水口22供水至外桶11内，以对贮水区11a补水。如此，可以在 蒸汽洗模式下，使得贮水区11a内的水位始终位于设定安全水位，可以满足第一加热件40加热产生蒸汽的需求。
一些实施例中，衣物处理设备还包括用于向外桶11供应洗涤水的第二供水管路90(如图6所示)，该第二供水管路90可以为进水波纹管，进水波纹管的出水口22可以直接对外桶11注水，且注水过程中，水流可以经内筒12上的通孔12b进入衣物处理腔12a，外桶11内的水亦可以经内筒12上的通孔12b进入衣物处理腔12a，从而充分润湿衣物。控制器还配置为在洗涤模式下，控制第一加热件40加热洗涤水。
可以理解的是，洗涤模式下，具有用于加热洗涤的设定水位，控制器确定外桶11内的水位达到该设定水位，控制第一加热件40加热洗涤水，从而实现加热洗涤的效果。如此，本申请实施例中的第一加热件40可以实现加热洗涤时加热与蒸汽洗时加热的共用。从而可以节省设备成本。
示例性地，第二供水管路90和第一供水管路50可以共用供水阀80，比如，供水阀80可以为三通阀，具有入口和第一、第二出口，入口连通外部水源，第一出口连通第一供水管路50，第二出口连通第二供水管路90。在蒸汽洗模式下，控制供水阀80的第一出口导通，从而由第一供水管路50供水至外桶11内，避免蒸汽洗模式下进水打湿衣物。在洗涤模式下，控制供水阀80的第二出口导通，从而第二供水管路90供水至外桶11内。
从以上的描述可以得知，本申请实施例的衣物处理设备，可以共用加热洗涤水的第一加热件40，在外桶11内的贮水区加热水生成蒸汽，且烘道内的第二加热件可以对蒸汽进行二次加热形成过热蒸气，从而提高蒸汽洗的工作效率；此外，蒸汽洗模式下，由连接件20上设置的供水结构供水至外桶11内，在供水过程中可以避免打湿内筒12内的衣物，且可以清除气流中携带的毛屑等杂质，避免杂质进入烘道组件30内导致的安全隐患。
需要说明的是：本申请实施例所记载的技术方案之间，在不冲突的情 况下，可以任意组合。
以上描述，仅为本申请的具体实施方式，但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此，任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请披露的技术范围内，可轻易想到变化或替换，都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此，本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
