Condensed water drainage structure for clothes dryer and clothes dryer

Abstract

The invention relates to a condensed water drainage structure for a clothes dryer and the clothes dryer. The clothes dryer comprises a base, a shell, a condensing structure, a heating structure and the like, wherein a water storage tank is formed in the lower part of the condensing structure on the base; the condensed water drainage structure is also arranged on the base; the condensed water drainage structure is communicated with the water storage tank and an air inlet passage at the rear part of the shell or a heat insulation region of the air inlet passage; the condensed water drainage structure is a drainage trough or comprises the drainage trough and a drainage hole; the condensed water drainage structure enables condensed water in the heat insulation region to flow back into the water storage tank of the base so as to prevent cooling water from being gathered at the bottom of the heat insulation region for a long time to corrode the air inlet passage and a heat insulation protection plate of the air inlet passage and influence the service life of the complete machine.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of clothes dryers, in particular to a condensed water drainage structure of a clothes dryer and a clothes dryer with the structure. Background technique [0002] The heating structure in the clothes dryer heats the air to become high-temperature dry air and enters the drum. The high-temperature dry air becomes medium-temperature and high-humidity air after contacting the tumbling and shaking clothes. The medium-temperature and high-humidity air passes through the filter to remove lint and then enters the condenser. , through the heat exchange effect of the condenser, the water vapor in the medium-temperature and high-humidity air will be condensed. The low-temperature and low-humidity air continues to flow through the air inlet, and after being heated, it enters the drum to repeat the next cycle to complete the drying function. [0003] There is only one vent on the base of the dryer connected to the air inlet. After...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Especially when the dryer is powered off or suspended during operation, the hot and humid air in the drum will spread to all parts of the air duct system, including the air inlet duct and the heat insulation area. There is a temperature difference, and a large amount of hot and humid air is condensed into cooling water and gathers at the bottom of the heat insulation area, which will corrode the air intake duct and heat insulation shield, and affect the service life of the dryer
