         2 . The laundry treatment device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cabinet has a top wall, the compressor of the heat pump module has a bottom, and when the heat pump module is disposed at the top side of the cabinet in the overhead manner, the bottom of the compressor of the heat pump module is adapted to extend downwards beyond the top side of the cabinet. 
     
     
         3 . The laundry treatment device according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat pump module further comprises:
 a base defining an upper surface depressed downwards to form a first receiving trough;   a top cover disposed on the base to cover the first receiving trough, the compressor being imbedded in the first receiving trough.   
     
     
         4 . The laundry treatment device according to  claim 3 , wherein a part of a peripheral wall of the first receiving trough is protruded from a lower surface of the base and disposed in the cabinet. 
     
     
         5 . The laundry treatment device according to  claim 4 , wherein a distance H between a lowest point of the peripheral wall of the first receiving trough and a datum plane m of an inner top wall of the cabinet is in a range of 0 to 200 mm. 
     
     
         6 . The laundry treatment device according to  claim 5 , wherein H is in a range of 10 to 100 mm. 
     
     
         7 . A heat pump module of a laundry treatment device, comprising:
 a base defining an upper surface depressed downwards to form a first receiving trough;   a top cover disposed on the base to cover the first receiving trough; and   a compressor imbedded in the first receiving trough.   
     
     
         8 . The heat pump module of the laundry treatment device according to  claim 7 , wherein a part of a peripheral wall of the first receiving trough is protruded from a lower surface of the base. 
     
     
         9 . The heat pump module of the laundry treatment device according to  claim 7 , wherein a plurality of reinforcing ribs are disposed at a peripheral wall of the first receiving trough and spaced apart from each other. 
     
     
         10 . The heat pump module of the laundry treatment device according to  claim 9 , wherein an end of the reinforcing rib is adapted to extend to a lower surface of the base. 
     
     
         11 . The heat pump module of the laundry treatment device according to  claim 7 , wherein a second receiving trough is disposed on a lower surface of the top cover, a mounting chamber is defined by the first receiving trough and the second receiving trough, and the compressor is disposed in the mounting chamber. 
     
     
         12 . The heat pump module of the laundry treatment device according to  claim 11 , wherein a contour line of a cross section of the mounting chamber is circular. 
     
     
         13 . The heat pump module of the laundry treatment device according to  claim 7 , wherein a part of a peripheral wall of the first receiving trough is protruded from a lower surface of the base and disposed in the laundry treatment device. 
     
     
         14 . The heat pump module of the laundry treatment device according to  claim 13 , wherein a distance H between a lowest point of the peripheral wall of the first receiving trough and a datum plane m of an inner top wall of the laundry treatment device is in a range of 0 to 200 mm.
