Embodiment 1

[0028] A self-cleaning lint filter includes a filtering device and a flushing device, the flushing device is located above the filtering device and the two are connected by plugging, and the two are detachable to separate the filtering device from the flushing device. The flushing device covers the largest cross-section of the filter device, and can wash the entire filter device from top to bottom. The lint filter is detachably installed at the front end of the windward side of the evaporator in the air circulation channel of the clothes dryer.

[0029] The part of the flushing device exceeds the windward side of the filter device, and the flushing device can flush the liquid to the windward side of the filter device.

[0030] The flushing device includes a water spray device with a plurality of water spray holes at the bottom, the water spray device has a cavity, the cavity communicates with the water spray hole, the water spray device is installed on the top of the filter dev...

Embodiment 2

[0054] The method for cleaning lint from a clothes dryer described in this embodiment is implemented on the device described in Embodiment 1.

[0055] A condensed water collection box having two cavities, a first cavity and a second cavity, is arranged below the lint filter and the evaporator of the clothes dryer, and the two cavities are respectively close to the lint filter and the evaporator.

[0056] The second chamber collects the condensed water generated by the evaporator, and uses pipes to transport the condensed water collected in the second chamber to the water spray device above the filter device of the lint filter to rinse the filter device of the clothes dryer to remove the adhesion lint on it. Use the water spray device to spray water from top to bottom to flush the filter device and remove the lint on it. The water spray device should spray water on the front of the windward side of the filter device to remove the lint on the windward side of the filter device a...

Abstract

The invention provides a lint filter capable of self cleaning and a lint cleaning method thereof. The lint filter comprises a filtering device and a flushing device, the flushing device is disposed on the filtering device and the two devices are in a plugging connection, the flushing device can flush the whole filtering device from up to down, and the lint filter is detachably installed at the front end of a windward side of an evaporator in an air circulation channel of a dryer. The invention provides the lint filter capable of self cleaning and the lint cleaning method thereof, water is sent into a water spray device above the filtering device, and the filtering device is sprayed and flushed from up to down by water, so that lint on the filtering device is removed, and the water spray device sprays water toward the front part of the windward side of the filtering device. After cleaning, a pump and the water spray device stop work, lint is intercepted and cleaned in front of the evaporator, and the lint filter can be entirely taken out from the front side of the dryer, so that whether lint is left is checked, and manual cleaning is performed, and therefore, generation of bacteria or influence upon a dryer function due to remaining lint is prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lint filter and a lint cleaning method, in particular to a self-cleaning lint filter and a lint cleaning method, belonging to the field of clothes dryers. Background technique [0002] The existing clothes dryer is equipped with a filter screen in front of the heat exchanger, and the filter screen is used to intercept lint to prevent the heat exchanger from being blocked, or to use condensed water to flush the fins at the front of the heat exchanger (evaporator) to avoid evaporation The device is clogged. However, some large or long lint cannot be washed away by condensed water, and the evaporator is integrated with the compressor system, so it cannot be taken out for cleaning. After a long time, the lint will affect the performance of the dryer or breed bacteria . [0003] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Contents of the invention [0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is...
