可选地，外桶1的周壁(即下述的外桶周壁14)向下凹陷以形成贮水区11的至少一部分，贮水区11的位置低于内筒2的转动轨迹的最低点，从进水口121进入外桶1内的水可以在重力作用下汇集至贮水区11内，无需设置特殊的引流结构即可使得水汇集到贮水区11。
可选地，进水口121可以为多边形(例如矩形)、圆形、椭圆形、长圆形等。
内筒2可转动地设于外桶1内，内筒2可转动地连接于外桶1，内筒2与外桶1之间限定出间隔腔101。沿轴向外桶1的前侧可以敞开以形成敞开口13，内筒2可以通过该敞开口13安装至外桶1内，内筒2的转动轴线可以大致平行于水平方向，例如内筒2的转动轴线沿前后方向延伸，外桶1与内筒2可以同轴设置。内筒2的前侧可以敞开以形成取放口23，内筒2内限定出衣物处理腔21，取放口23与衣物处理腔21连通，衣物可以通过该取放口23放入内筒2的衣物处理腔21内或是通过该取放口23从衣物处理腔21内取出衣物。在衣物处理设备工作时，内筒2转动，外桶1相对衣物处理设备的壳体固定。
内筒2的壁上形成有连通孔221，连通孔221沿内筒2的壁厚贯穿内筒2，内筒2与外桶1之间限定出间隔腔101，上述贮水区11位于该间隔腔101内，连通孔221连通该间隔腔101与衣物处理腔21。在第一加热件31加热贮水区11内的水时，可以使得贮水区11内水形成蒸汽，贮水区11产生的蒸气可以通过连通孔221进入内筒2的衣物处理腔21内，衣物处理腔21内的气流可以经连通孔221流入至间隔腔101内。
可选地，连通孔221可以为多边形(例如矩形)、圆形、椭圆形、长圆形等。
其中，为方便描述，外桶1沿轴向的后壁可以为外桶后壁12，外桶1的沿周向侧壁可以为外桶周壁14，其中外桶后壁12与外桶1的敞开口13前后相对设置；内筒2沿轴向的后壁可以为内筒后壁22，内筒2的沿周向侧壁可以为内筒周壁24，其中内筒后壁22与内筒2的取放口23前后相对设置。
可选地，内筒2上设置有多个连通孔221，内筒2与外桶1之间的间隔腔101可以通过多个连通孔221与衣物处理腔21进行气流和/或水流交换。连通孔221的数量可以不限，只要能够满足内筒2与外桶1之间的气流和/或水流交换即可。
可选地，可以是所有的连通孔221均设置于内筒周壁24上；也可以是，所有的连通孔221均设置于内筒后壁22上；还可以是，部分连通孔221设置在内筒周壁24上，另一部分连通孔221设置在内筒后壁22上。
在一些实施例中，衣物处理设备还可以具有洗涤模式，在洗涤模式下，可以通过与蒸汽洗模式不同的供水路径对桶体组件10进行供水，在洗涤模式下，进入外桶1内的水也会进入外桶1内的贮水区11，第一加热件31可以在洗涤模式下工作加热洗涤水，提升洗涤效率。
在本申请实施例的桶体组件10用于衣物处理设备时，在衣物处理设备需要实现蒸汽洗模式时，可以使得水流(例如来自来水的水流)通过外桶1上的进水口121流入外桶1内，并向下流动至外桶1内的贮水区11，可以通过控制贮水区11的水位，使得贮水区11的水位保持在设定水位范围内。例如，可以使得贮水区11的水位最高不超过内筒2转动轨迹的最低点，这样可以避免贮水区11内的水进入内筒2的衣物处理腔21内而打湿衣物；再例如，使得贮水区11内的水位最低不低于第一加热件31的最高位置，这样可以避免第一加热件31的至少部分发生干烧现象，提高能量利用率，并且可以提高安全性。控制第一加热件31加热贮水区11内的水以产生蒸汽，产生的蒸汽可以经过上述的连通孔221进入衣物处理腔21内，以对衣物处理腔21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21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。可以理解是，若是水流进入内筒2内将衣物打湿，会影响衣物护理效果。并且，由于衣物被打湿，可能需要额外增加烘干时间对衣物进行烘干操作，既影响了衣物护理效果，并且延长了衣物处理时间，同时也增加了能耗。
本申请实施例的桶体组件10用于衣物处理设备时，利用外桶1内空间形成贮水区11并在贮水区11内设置第一加热件31，通过第一加热件31对贮水区11内的水进行加热并产生蒸汽，蒸汽对内筒2内的衣物进行杀菌、除臭、熨烫等护理，在无需额外设置蒸汽发 生器下可以实现蒸汽洗模式，且使得结构简单、紧凑
其中，内筒2处于任意角度位置时，进水口121与连通孔221均错开。无论连通孔221设置在内筒2的何位置，无论内筒2是否转动，位于外桶1上的进水口121均与内筒2上的所有连通孔221均错开设置，并且在内筒2转动时且在内筒2转动至任意角度时，位于外桶1上的进水口121均与内筒2上的所有连通孔221均错开设置。由于内筒2处在任意角度位置时，外桶1上的进水口121与内筒2上的所有连通孔221均错开设置，这样在通过进水口121对外桶1内的贮水区11进行供水的过程中，从进水口121进入的水流不会直接喷射至连通孔221而从连通孔221进入内筒2内而打湿衣物，或者可以显著地降低从进水口121进入的水流直接喷射至连通孔221而从连通孔221进入内筒2内而打湿衣物的几率，利于满足蒸汽洗的要求，提升整机的蒸汽洗性能。
其中，所述“进水口121与连通孔221错开”是指在沿平行于进水口121的中心轴线方向上，进水口121与连通孔221不朝向彼此且完全错开。
根据本申请实施例的桶体组件10，利用外桶1内空间形成贮水区11并在贮水区11内设置第一加热件31，通过第一加热件31对贮水区11内的水进行加热并产生蒸汽，蒸汽对内筒2内的衣物进行杀菌、除臭、熨烫等护理，在无需额外设置蒸汽发生器下可以实现蒸汽洗模式，且使得结构简单、紧凑；此外，通过优化设计内筒2上的连通孔221和外桶1上的进水口121的相对位置，在给贮水区11供水的过程中可以减少或避免水进入内筒2内，从而在蒸汽洗模式下减少或避免打湿衣物，利于满足蒸汽洗的要求，提升整机的蒸汽洗性能。
根据本申请的一些实施例，参照图2、图3、图5和图7，外桶1沿轴向的后壁为外桶后壁12，进水口121可以形成在外桶后壁12上。通过将进水口121设置在外桶后壁12上，这样水流从外桶1的后侧流向外桶1内，这样可以更有效地减少从进水口121流入的水进入内筒2内而打湿衣物。
根据本申请的一些可选实施例，参照图1-图7，内筒2沿轴向的后壁为内筒后壁22，内筒后壁22上可以形成有多个连通孔221，在内筒2转动时外桶1是相对内筒2转动的，这样进水口121沿内筒2的轴向在内筒后壁22上的投影扫过的轨迹可以形成为环形区域，该环形区域可以为进水环形区，内筒后壁22上的至少一部分连通孔221位于进水环形区的径向内侧。例如，可以是内筒后壁22上的一部分连通孔221位于进水环形区的径向内侧，也可以是内筒后壁22上的所有连通孔221均位于进水环形区的径向内侧。这样可以进一步地有效减少从进水口121流入的水进入内筒2内而打湿衣物。
在本申请的一些实施例中，参照图1-图7，进水口121可以邻近外桶后壁12的外周沿设置。由此，通过将进水口121设置在邻近外桶后壁12的外周沿位置，与将进水口121设 置在邻近外桶后壁12的中心位置相比，可以更好地保证外桶1的结构强度满足使用要求。
在本申请的一些实施例中，参照图1-图7，进水口121可以位于外桶后壁12的中心轴线的上方。这样可以使得进水口121的位置较高，在衣物处理设备处在洗涤模式时，由于外桶1内的水位较高，这样可以较好地避免在洗涤模式下外桶1内的洗涤水通过进水口121流至外桶1的外部。
可选地，进水口121可以位于外桶后壁12的中心轴线的斜上方。这样既可以较好地避免在洗涤模式下外桶1内的洗涤水通过进水口121流至外桶1的外部，并且有利于与进水口121连接的部件(例如下述的连接件40以及烘道组件60)的安装，使得整体结构紧凑。
例如，在图4-图7的具体示例中，桶体组件10包括上述的外桶1、内筒2以及第一加热件31，外桶1的外桶周壁14向下凹陷以形成贮水区11的至少一部分，第一加热件31设于贮水区11，外桶1的外桶后壁12上形成有进水口121，进水口121大体呈矩形且进水口121沿外桶1的周向延伸，进水口121位于外桶1的中心轴线的斜上方且邻近外桶后壁12的外周沿。内筒后壁22上形成有多个连通孔221，多个连通孔221均位于上述进水环形区的径向内侧。多个连通孔221分成两组且两组连通孔221沿径向间隔排布，每组包括多个连通孔221，每组多个连通孔221沿内筒2的周向间隔排布且排布呈环形。在蒸汽洗模式下，从进水口121进入外桶1内的水流入至外桶1内的贮水区11，第一加热件31加热贮水区11内的水并产生蒸汽，蒸汽通过多个连通孔221进入内筒2内对衣物进行高温护理。
如图1-图9所示，根据本申请第二方面实施例的衣物处理设备，包括：桶体组件10、第一供水管路50和控制器，桶体组件10为根据本申请上述第一方面实施例的桶体组件10。衣物处理设备包括箱体，桶体组件10设置于箱体内。
第一供水管路50连通外部水源(如自来水)，第一供水管路50上可以设置供水阀，由供水阀的开关状态控制第一供水管路50与外部水源连通与否。供水阀用于打开和关闭第一供水管路50，流入第一供水管路50的水流，可以经外桶1上的进水口121流入外桶1内，从而对贮水区11进行供水。在供水阀打开时，第一供水管路50导通，流入第一供水管路50的水流，经外桶1上的进水口121流入外桶1内；在供水阀关闭时，第一供水管路50截断，停止通过进水口121对外桶1内的贮水区11进行供水。
控制器用于在蒸汽洗模式下，基于贮水区11的水位控制供水阀，例如可以控制贮水区11内的水位保持在设定水位范围内，例如在贮水区11内的水位达到最高设定值时控制供水阀关闭，在贮水区11内的水位低于最低设定值时控制供水阀打开。在贮水区11内的水位位于设定水位范围内时，控制器控制第一加热件31加热贮水区11内的水以产生蒸汽，产生的蒸汽可以经过上述的连通孔221进入衣物处理腔21内，以对衣物处理腔21的衣物 进行护理。
可以理解的是，当内筒2在转动过程中，从进水口121流入外桶1内的水至少一部分会被处于转动状态的内筒后壁22弹射开，降低水流从连通孔221进入衣物处理腔21的可能性，从而降低水流打湿衣物处理腔21内衣物的可能性。此外，在内筒2的转动过程中，进水口121沿内筒2的轴向在内筒后壁22上的投影扫过的轨迹大致为环形区域，该环形区域为进水环形区，而内筒2相应于该进水环形区没有设置连通孔221，如此，从进水口121流入外桶1的水流即使以较大的速度冲向内筒后壁22，该水流也会被内筒后壁22阻挡，而不会径直穿过连通孔221，如此，能够降低进水口121的水流进入衣物处理腔21的可能性，从而降低了蒸汽洗模式下水打湿衣物处理腔21内的衣物的可能性。
上述设定水位范围可以满足第一加热件31加热所需的安全水位，以避免第一加热件31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11内的水进入内筒2打湿衣物。示例性地，设定水位范围可以高于第一加热件31的最高位置，且低于内筒2的转动轨迹的最低点，从而使得第一加热件31加热过程中，贮水区11的水位处于安全水位。
一些实施例中，衣物处理设备还包括：低液位传感器32和高液位传感器33，低液位传感器32和高液位传感器33均用于检测贮水区11内的水位。其中，低液位传感器32和高液位传感器33均设置于外桶后壁12上；高液位传感器33的检测水位高于低液位传感器32的检测水位且低于内筒2的转动轨迹的最低点，低液位传感器32的检测水位高于第一加热件31的最高位置。低液位传感器32和高液位传感器33均与控制器通讯连接，低液位传感器32和高液位传感器33发出检测信号，控制器根据检测信号识别贮水区11内的水位是否合适。
低液位传感器32和高液位传感器33的安装位置不限，示例性地，参照图8，低液位传感器32和高液位传感器33均设置于外桶后壁12上。一方面，便于从外桶后壁12的后侧进行安装，另一方面，也便于在外桶后壁12的后侧集中布置低液位传感器32、高液位传感器33和第一加热件31的电线。
低液位传感器32的具体类型不限，只要能够检测水位即可；高液位传感器33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11的水位控制供水阀的工作状态，包括：
基于高液位传感器33的检测信号确定贮水区11的水位高于最高设定值，则控制供水阀关闭；
基于低液位传感器32的检测信号确定贮水区11的水位低于最低设定值，则控制供水阀开启。
可以理解的是，控制器基于高液位传感器33的检测信号确定贮水区11的水位高于最 高设定值，则判定贮水区11的水溢流至内筒2内的风险，控制供水阀关闭，从而停止通过进水口121供水至外桶1内；控制器基于低液位传感器32的检测信号确定贮水区11的水位低于最低设定值，则判定贮水区11的水量偏少，控制供水阀开启，由进水口121供水至外桶1内，以对贮水区11补水。如此，可以在蒸汽洗模式下，使得贮水区11内的水位始终位于设定安全水位，可以满足第一加热件31加热产生蒸汽的需求。
本申请实施例的衣物处理设备，当需要开启蒸汽模式时，流入第一供水管路50的水经进水口121流入至外桶1内，可以避免传统方式进水打湿衣物，并基于贮水区11内的水位控制第一供水管路50上的供水阀，使得贮水区11处于设定水位范围，第一加热件31对贮水区11内的水进行加热并产生蒸汽，产生的蒸汽可以经过上述的连通孔221进入衣物处理腔21内，蒸汽对衣物处理腔21内的衣物进行杀菌、除臭、熨烫等护理。
可选地，蒸汽洗模式下，控制器控制内筒2以设定转速转动。
根据本申请实施例的衣物处理设备，通过设置上述的桶体组件10，且通过控制器控制对贮水区11的供水，在蒸汽洗模式下，基于贮水区11内的水位控制第一供水管路50上的供水阀，可以使得贮水区11处于设定水位范围，第一加热件31对贮水区11内的水进行加热并产生蒸汽，蒸汽对内筒2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，且使得结构简单、紧凑；此外，通过优化设计内筒2上的连通孔221和外桶1上的进水口121的相对位置，在给贮水区11供水的过程中可以减少或避免水进入内筒2内，从而在蒸汽洗模式下减少或避免打湿衣物，利于满足蒸汽洗的要求，提升整机的蒸汽洗性能。
根据本申请的一些实施例，参照图1-图3、图7和图12，衣物处理设备还可以包括：烘道组件60，烘道组件60可以设在外桶1的外侧。烘道组件60具有烘道，该烘道与内筒2的衣物处理腔21连通，烘道组件60还包括第二加热件和风机，第二加热件和风机设于烘道内。衣物处理设备处在蒸汽洗模式下，控制器还可以控制风机以及第二加热件，至少部分蒸汽可以流经烘道后进入衣物处理腔21内。
该风机可以给外桶1内的气流流入烘道组件60的烘道提供鼓风力，该第二加热件可以在烘道内对气流再次加热，进而产生蒸汽和/或过热蒸气，例如，第一加热件31加热后产生的蒸汽，部分蒸汽可以经内筒2的连通孔221与衣物处理腔21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，并进入烘道组件60的烘道内，并被第二加热件再次加热后，可以形成过热蒸气，然后进入内筒2内，以对衣物处理腔21内的衣物进行护理。如此，可以实现双蒸汽(第一加热件31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21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31加热后的蒸汽被引入烘道组件60的烘道后，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2，以对衣物处理腔21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，利于提升洗护衣物效果。
这里，第一加热件31、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31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，衣物处理设备包括：设置于外桶1的顶侧的烘道组件60及设置于桶体组件10前侧的前门封，前门封的上部可以设置内筒进风口，内筒进风口与衣物处理腔21连通，烘道具有烘道进风口和烘道出风口61，其中烘道进风口可以连通上述的间隔腔101(外桶1与内筒2之间限定出的空间)，烘道出风口61连通该内筒进风口。例如，第一加热件31加热贮水区11产生的部分蒸汽可以通过进水口121以及烘道进风口进入烘道内，经烘道内的第二加热件加热后形成的过热蒸汽，可以通过烘道出风口61以及内筒进风口进入衣物处理腔内。
根据本申请的一些可选实施例，参照图2、图3和图12，衣物处理设备还可以包括：连接件40，连接件40设置于外桶1上且设于进水口121处，连接件40具有连通通道，连通通道与外桶1的内腔连通，连通通道可以与进水口121对接，连接件40整体可以均位于外桶1外，或是除了连接件40对接于进水口121的部分其余部分均位于外桶1外，第一供水管路50与连通通道连通且烘道组件60的烘道与连通通道连通。在需要对贮水区11供水时，水流可以依次流经第一供水管路50、连通通道以及进水口121进入外桶1内，在重力作用下向下流动并汇聚至贮水区11。在需要利用烘道组件60对衣物处理腔21供送高温气流时，外桶1内的气流在风机的驱动下，可以从进水口121进入连通通道，并流入烘道内经第二加热件加热后流入衣物处理腔21内。流入衣物处理腔21内的高温气流穿过衣物处理腔21内的衣物，穿过衣物的高温气流可以经内筒2上的连通孔221进入外桶1与内筒2之间的间隔腔101内，湿热气流在间隔腔101内流动的过程中，外桶1的桶壁可以冷却该湿热气流，使得该湿热气流内的部分水蒸气冷凝成水滴并落入外桶1的底部。
可以理解的是，外桶1上的进水口121既作为第一供水管路50的水流的出口，又作为外桶1内的气流进入烘道内的入口，在连接件40的连通通道内，第一供水管路50的水与待进入烘道的气流可以充分混合，进行热交换，且自进水口121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区11的水的温度可以快速达到设定温度，可以缩短第一加热件31加热产生蒸汽的时长，加速外桶1内蒸汽的生成效率。
示例性地，衣物处理设备包括：设置于外桶1的顶侧的烘道组件60及设置于桶体组件10前侧的前门封。连接件40内具有连通通道，该连通通道具有与进水口121连接且连通的第一连通口411，烘道具有烘道进风口和烘道出风口61，该连通通道具有与烘道进风口连接且连通的第二连通口以及与第一供水管路50连接且连通的第三连通口421，第三连通口421或是进水口121既作为第一供水管路50的水流的出口，又作为外桶1内的气流进入烘道内的入口。前门封的上部可以设置内筒进风口，内筒进风口与衣物处理腔21连通，烘道出风口61连通该内筒进风口。例如，第一加热件31加热贮水区11产生的部分蒸汽可以通过进水口121、连通通道、烘道进风口进入烘道内，经烘道内的第二加热件加热后形成的过热蒸汽，可以通过烘道出风口61以及内筒进风口进入衣物处理腔内。
本申请实施例中，连接件40的具体结构不限。示例性地，连接件40可以为与外桶1的后侧壁的上方贴合的结构，连接件40的第一连通口411可以伸入至进水口121内，且连接件40整体罩设于进水口121处，且连接件40与该进水口121密封连接。该连接件40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。
示例性地，连接件40上开设安装孔431，外桶1的后侧壁上可以设置与该安装孔431配合的安装位，连接件40可以经螺钉锁紧固定于外桶1上。例如，如图2、图3和图12所示，连接件40上形成有四个安装凸耳43，每个安装凸耳43上形成有安装孔431，四个螺钉穿设于每个安装凸耳43的安装孔431以及外桶1，以将连接件40锁紧固定于外桶1的外桶后壁12上。
示例性地，外桶1上的进水口121开设于外桶后壁12且靠近外桶1顶端的位置，即进水口121设置在外桶后壁12的上部，进水口121的位置高于内筒2的转动中心轴线所在高度，相应地，连接件40安装于外桶后壁12的上部(如图所示)。基于该结构，可以使得进水口121的进水位置较高，如此，自进水口121流出的水可以与外桶1内自下而上沿进水口121进入烘道内的蒸汽进行热交换，使得进入至贮水区11的水可以得到预热，第一加热件31可以减少加热产生蒸汽所需的耗时及能量消耗，利于外桶1内及时产生蒸汽洗所需的蒸汽，加速外桶1内蒸汽的生成效率。
示例性地，进水口121设置于外桶后壁12上，连接件40设置于外桶后壁12的后侧。这样，不仅节省了连接件40的安装空间，还可以使得连接件40的第一连通口411伸入至进水口121内，使得第一连通口411以及进水口121位于内筒后壁22的后侧，避免了进水 口121或第一连通口411流出的水直接进入内筒2内打湿衣物。
在本申请的一些实施例中，参照图7和图12，连通通道内设置用于过滤毛屑的毛屑阻挡结构44，毛屑阻挡结构44邻近连通通道的第一连通口411设置，第一供水管路50的水还用于清洗毛屑阻挡结构44。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44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44，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。
在一些可选实施例中，毛屑阻挡结构44包括滤网，滤网可以较好地用于阻止毛屑进入连接件40的连通通道内，在蒸汽气流经第一连通口411进入连通通道内并流入烘道内的过程中，通过滤网可以有效阻挡毛屑等杂质随着气流进入烘道内。
在另一些可选实施例中，毛屑阻挡结构44包括多个筋条，多个筋条可以沿一个方向间隔排布，多个筋条也可以沿多个方向交叉排布，通过多个筋条的阻挡作用，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内的效果。连通通道内的筋条可以一体成型于连通通道的内壁上。
在又一些可选实施例中，毛屑阻挡结构44包括上述的滤网和多个筋条，滤网可以布置在多个筋条之间限定出的空间内；滤网也可以与多个筋条在气流或水流的流动方向上排布，滤网与多个筋条可以间隔开设置，滤网也可以与多个筋条中的至少一部分连接，方便滤网的安装固定。如此，可以有效地阻挡气流中携带的毛屑等杂质。
在本申请的进一步实施例中，连通通道内还可以设有喷淋结构，该喷淋结构位于毛屑阻挡结构44的远离第一连通口411的一侧，该喷淋结构适于朝向毛屑阻挡结构44喷淋水流。喷淋结构用于在连接件40的连通通道内形成喷淋水，喷淋结构的出口朝向毛屑阻挡结构44，以清洗附着于连通通道的内壁上的毛屑或者毛屑阻挡结构44上的毛屑。示例性地，该喷淋结构可以为开设于连通通道的内壁处的文丘里形喷嘴，从而在连通通道内形成喷淋水，该喷淋水可以增强清洗毛屑阻挡结构44上以及连通通道的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60的烘道内而导致的安全隐患。可以理解的是，该连接件40内喷淋结构具有向第一加热件31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。
例如，在本申请的一些具体示例中，参照图1-图3以及图12，连接件40包括主连接管41和支连接管42，其中主连接管41内限定出主连通通道410，支连接管42内限定出支连通通道，支连接管42连接于主连接管41的侧壁上，主连通通道410和支连通通道共同 构成连通通道，且主连通通道410和支连通通道连通。主连通通道410的两端分别形成有第一连通口411和第二连通口，支连通通道的远离主连通通道410的一端形成有第三连通口421。其中，主连接管41的一端连接于外桶1，且第一连通口411对接于外桶1上的进水口121；主连接管41的另一端连接于烘道组件60，且第二连通口对接于烘道的入口；支连接管42的远离主连接管41的一端与第一供水管路50相连，且第三连通口421对接于第一供水管路50的出口。主连通通道410内还设有毛屑阻挡结构44和喷淋结构，毛屑阻挡结构44邻近第一连通口411，喷淋结构位于毛屑阻挡结构44的远离第一连通口411的一侧且邻近毛屑阻挡结构44。
由此，在需要对贮水区11供水时，水流可以依次经第一供水管、支连通通道、主连通通道410，并流经喷淋结构以及毛屑阻挡结构44，最后从第一连通口411或进水口121进入外桶1内，在重力作用下向下流动并汇聚至贮水区11。在需要对衣物处理腔21提高高温气流时，风机工作，驱动外桶1内的蒸汽从第一连通口411或进水口121进入主连通通道410内，流经毛屑阻挡结构44的过程中，毛屑阻挡结构44可以阻挡气流中携带的毛屑等杂质，而后流经喷淋结构继续沿着主连通通道410流动，再经烘道进风口流入烘道内，经第二加热件加热后，蒸汽温度进一步地升高，可以形成过热蒸汽，过热蒸汽经烘道出风口61流入衣物处理腔21内，从而可以对衣物进行高温护理。
根据本申请的一些实施例，衣物处理设备还具有洗涤模式，衣物处理设备还可以包括第二供水管路，第二供水管路用于向桶体组件10供应洗涤水，该第二供水管路可以为进水波纹管，进水波纹管的出水口可以直接对外桶1注水，且注水过程中，水流可以经内筒2上的连通孔221进入衣物处理腔21，外桶1内的水亦可以经内筒2上的连通孔221进入衣物处理腔21，从而充分润湿衣物。
在洗涤模式下，控制器还可以用于控制第一加热件31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1内的水位达到该设定水位，控制第一加热件31加热洗涤水，从而实现加热洗涤的效果，提升洗涤效率和洗涤效果。如此，本申请实施例中的第一加热件31可以实现洗涤模式下加热与蒸汽洗模式下加热的共用，从而可以减少零部件数量，节省成本。
示例性地，第二供水管路和第一供水管路50可以共用供水阀，比如，供水阀可以为三通阀，具有入口、第一出口和第二出口，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。在蒸汽洗模式下，控制供水阀的第一出口导通，从而由第一供水管路50经外桶1上的进水口121供水至外桶1内，避免蒸汽洗模式下进水打湿衣物。在洗涤模式下，控制供水阀的第二出口导通，从而第二供水管路供水至外桶1内。
从以上的描述可以得知，本申请一些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31，在外桶1内的贮水区11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40供水至外桶1内，在供水过程中可以避免打湿内筒2内的衣物，且可以清除气流中携带的毛屑等杂质，避免杂质进入烘道内导致的安全隐患。
在本说明书的描述中，参考术语“一个实施例”、“一些实施例”、“示例”、“具体示例”、或“一些示例”等的描述意指结合该实施例或示例描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点包含于本申请的至少一个实施例或示例中。在本说明书中，对上述术语的示意性表述不必须针对的是相同的实施例或示例。而且，描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任一个或多个实施例或示例中以合适的方式结合。此外，在不相互矛盾的情况下，本领域的技术人员可以将本说明书中描述的不同实施例或示例以及不同实施例或示例的特征进行结合和组合。
