base 1 to cover the first receiving trough 13, and a compressor is imbedded in the
first receiving trough 13. It should be understood that, the compressor may be limited
in the depression (i.e., the first receiving trough 13) by depressing the upper surface
11 of the base 1 downwards. On one hand, it is easy to fix the compressor and on the
other hand, it is also possible to reduce the height of the projection of the compressor
from the upper surface 11 of the base 1, so that a distance between the base 1 and
the top cover 2 may be shortened, and thus the structure of the heat pump module 100
may be more compact and reasonable.
[0028] In the heat pump module 100 of the laundry treatment device 200 according to embodiments
of the present invention, because the upper surface 11 of the base 1 is depressed
downwards to form the first receiving trough 13, the compressor may be imbedded in
the first receiving trough 13. Therefore, it is easy to fix the compressor and it
is also possible to reduce the height of the projection of the compressor from the
upper surface 11 of the base 1, so that a distance between the base 1 and the top
cover 2 may be shortened, and thus the structure of the heat pump module 100 may be
more compact and reasonable.
[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, a part of a peripheral wall of the first
receiving trough 13 is protruded from a lower surface 12 of the base 1, and the part
of the peripheral wall of the first receiving trough 13 protruded from the lower surface

of the receiving trough may be guaranteed. For example, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig.
2, the reinforcing rib 14 is in a shape of plate and extends along a semicircular
arc. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 14 are distributed along the central axis of
the compressor and spaced apart from each other.
[0031] Furthermore, an end of the reinforcing rib 14 extends to a lower surface 12 of the
base 1, thus further improving the strength of the receiving trough. For example,
as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 14 are disposed at
a peripheral wall of the first receiving trough 13 and spaced apart from each other,
and both ends of each of the reinforcing ribs 14 extend to the lower surface 12 of
the base 1. In some embodiments of the present invention, the reinforcing rib 14 may
be formed with the base 1 integrally.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, a second receiving trough 21 is disposed
on a lower surface of the top cover 2, a mounting chamber is defined by the first
receiving trough 13 and the second receiving trough 21, and the compressor is disposed
