Heat pump module for laundry treatment device and laundry treatment device

Abstract

A heat pump module for a laundry treatment device and the laundry treatment device are provided. The heat pump module includes a base plate, a top cover and a compressor. The base plate has a first side wall and a second side wall adjacent to the first side wall; the top cover defines a mounting chamber together with the base plate; the compressor is located in the mounting chamber; and an extension line of an axis of the compressor intersects with the first side wall and the second side wall separately. For the heat pump module according to the present invention, the extension line of the axis of the compressor intersects with the first side wall and the second side wall, which facilitates the layout of leads and pipes connected with the compressor and the arrangement of other components on the base plate, thereby improving utilization rate of installation space on the base plate and optimizing the layout scheme of the heat pump module.

         4 . The heat pump module according to  claim 1 , wherein a starting capacitor of the compressor is located in an area defined by the first side wall, the second side wall and the axis together. 
     
     
         5 . The heat pump module according to  claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the base plate is recessed downwards to form a first receiving groove, and the compressor is embedded in the first receiving groove. 
     
     
         6 . The heat pump module according to  claim 5 , wherein part of an outer peripheral wall of the first receiving groove protrudes beyond a lower surface of the base plate. 
     
     
         7 . The heat pump module according to  claim 5 , wherein the first receiving groove is configured as a semi-circular groove. 
     
     
         8 . The heat pump module according to  claim 5 , wherein a damping sheath is fitted over the compressor, and at least part of an outer peripheral wall of the damping sheath abuts against an inner peripheral wall of the first receiving groove. 
     
     
         9 . The heat pump module according to  claim 8 , wherein the outer peripheral wall of the damping sheath is provided with a plurality of ribs. 
     
     
         10 . A laundry treatment device, comprising
 a housing provided with an opening;   a drum assembly disposed in the housing and having an open end opposite the opening; and   a heat pump module disposed in the housing,   wherein the heat pump module comprises:   a base plate having a first side wall and a second side wall adjacent to the first side wall,   a top cover defining a mounting chamber together with the base plate, and   a compressor located in the mounting chamber, wherein an extension line of an axis of the compressor intersects with the first side wall and the second side wall separately.   
     
     
         11 . The laundry treatment device according to  claim 10 , wherein an included angle α between the axis of the compressor and the first side wall is greater than 0 degree and equal to or smaller than 30 degrees. 
     
     
         12 . The laundry treatment device according to  claim 11 , wherein the included angle α is greater than 0 degree and equal to or smaller than 20 degrees. 
     
     
         13 . The laundry treatment device according to  claim 10 , wherein a starting capacitor of the compressor is located in an area defined by the first side wall, the second side wall and the axis together. 
     
     
         14 . The laundry treatment device according to  claim 10 , wherein an upper surface of the base plate is recessed downwards to form a first receiving groove, and the compressor is embedded in the first receiving groove. 
     
     
         15 . The laundry treatment device according to  claim 14 , wherein part of an outer peripheral wall of the first receiving groove protrudes beyond a lower surface of the base plate.
