A heat pump module for a laundry treatment device and the laundry treatment device are provided. The heat pump module includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a casing and a cooling air passage. The casing has an accommodating chamber provided with a partition plate to divide the accommodating chamber into a first mounting chamber and a second mounting chamber, the compressor is disposed within the first mounting chamber, and the evaporator and the condenser are disposed within the second mounting chamber. The compressor has an air exhaust port and an air suction port; the condenser has a first end in communication with the air exhaust port; and the evaporator has a first end in communication with a second end of the condenser, and a second end in communication with the air suction port. The cooling air passage has an air outlet end in communication with the first mounting chamber, and an air inlet end in communication with the outside. For the heat pump module according to the present invention, the first mounting chamber is in communication with the outside by providing the cooling air passage, such that the compressor may exchange heat with the outside, thereby improving performance of the compressor, optimizing layout of various components in the heat pump module and saving installation space.

A heat pump mounting box for a heat pump dryer or washer-dryer, and a heat pump dryer or washer-dryer having the same are provided. The heat pump mounting box includes a base provided with an air suction port and a two-device mounting chamber; an air passage guide plate mounted on the base and defining, together with the base, an air guide passage that has a drying air inlet in communication with the air suction port and a drying air outlet in communication with the two-device mounting chamber; and a flock filter mesh assembly drawably mounted on at least one of the base and the air passage guide plate and located at the drying air outlet. The heat pump mounting box according to the present invention has good connection tightness and is easy to clean, thereby being less likely to cause air quantity loss and flock accumulation.

The present disclosure discloses a clothes dryer or washer-dryer including a cabinet; a drum body rotatably disposed in the cabinet, defining a containing chamber therein, and having an air inlet and an air outlet both communicating with the containing chamber; a heat pump system disposed to the cabinet to transport hot air into the containing chamber; and a fan assembly having a fan air channel that is in communication with the air inlet, located between the heat pump system and the air inlet in an airflow direction, and provided with a heating member therein to further heat air transported into the fan air channel, thus further heating the hot air in the fan air channel, raising a temperature of the hot air entering the containing chamber, shortening a period for drying clothes, bringing great convenience to user's life, and shortening a work time of the components like a compressor.

The present disclosure provides a heat pump drying or washing-drying machine, including a cabinet; a fan assembly disposed in the cabinet and provided with a draining adapting port; a draining duct disposed in the cabinet and connected with the draining adapting port; and a base disposed to the cabinet, located above the fan assembly and provided with a water outlet, in which the water outlet is corresponding to the draining adapting port in terms of position and configured to be connected with the draining adapting port.

Disclosed herein is a method of controlling a laundry treating apparatus, if a user selects a uniform course, including performing a preheating operation of a heater to generate steam, performing a first cooling operation to operate a blower unit and a moving hanger after the preheating operation has been terminated, performing a steam operation to operate the blower unit and a steam unit and to circulate steam to a treating chamber after the first cooling operation has been terminated, performing a standby operation to operate the blower unit after the steam operation has been terminated, performing a second cooling operation to operate the blower unit after the standby operation has been terminated, and performing a drying operation to operate the blower unit and a heat pump unit and to provide heat to the treating chamber to dry the treating chamber after the second cooling operation has been terminated.

An apparatus for laundry treatment includes: a cabinet defining an entrance at one side, a drum defining a space for receiving laundry therein, a duct connected to the drum, a fan configured to move air in the drum into the duct, a heat exchange part including a heat absorption part configured to remove moisture from the air moved into the duct and a heating part configured to heat the air having passed through the heat absorption part, a compressor configured to increase a temperature of the air by compressing a refrigerant having passed through the heat absorption part, a water collecting part configured to receive the moisture removed by the heat exchange part, and a soundproof panel provided at a bottom of a base part that is located at a bottom of the cabinet.
