Problems solved by technology

If the user opens the door connected to the outer cylinder for putting clothes in during this period, the steam flowing into the outer cylinder is likely to be ejected from the door, causing the user to be burned by the residual heat contained in the steam

Embodiment 1

[0044] In this embodiment, the steam generator 9 of the clothes dryer can be any existing steam generator with the following structure: a body forming a chamber with a certain volume is provided, and a chamber for converting water into steam is provided in the chamber. The heating device is provided with a water inlet for water to enter the chamber and an air outlet for steam to flow out of the chamber on the body.

[0045] Such as figure 1 As shown, in the present embodiment, the gas outlet of the steam generator 9 communicates with one end of the gas outlet pipe 14, and the other end of the gas outlet pipe 14 communicates with the first pipeline 10 and the second pipeline 11 respectively, and the first pipeline 10 It communicates with the outer cylinder 1 , and the second pipeline 11 communicates with the drying air passage 2 between the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4 .

[0046] By connecting the second pipeline with the drying air path between the evaporator and the cond...

Embodiment 2

[0054] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment above is that: figure 1 As shown, the angle between the axis of the first pipeline 10 and the air outlet pipe 14 on the clothes dryer is larger than the angle between the axis of the second pipeline 11 and the air outlet pipe 14 . Through the above setting, the three-way structure at the intersection of the first pipeline 10, the second pipeline 11 and the outlet pipe 14 has a Venturi effect, so that the steam with a lower density flowing in from the outlet pipe 14 flows to the first pipeline 10, The non-vaporized water with higher density flowing into the air outlet pipe 14 flows to the second pipeline 11 .

[0055] Such as figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the gas outlet pipe 14 communicates with the gas outlet of the steam generator 9 , and the other end communicates with the first pipeline 10 and the second pipeline 11 through the tee 17 . Described tee 17 comprises air inlet section,...

Embodiment 3

[0063] The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment above is that: image 3 As shown, only the first control valve 12 is provided on the first line 10 . During the normal steam washing process of the clothes dryer, the medium flowing through the pipeline is automatically controlled through the three-way structure with Venturi effect, so that the gaseous water vapor flows into the first pipeline, and the liquid unvaporized water flows into the second pipeline. In order to avoid the situation that the second control valve needs to be arranged on the second pipeline, the number of control valves required on the pipeline is reduced, and the production cost is reduced.

[0064] In this embodiment, the corresponding states during the working process of the clothes dryer are as follows:

[0065] State 1: During the normal steam process of the clothes dryer, the door body 16 of the clothes dryer is in a closed state, and the first control valve 12 is opened, so th...

Abstract

The invention relates to a clothes dryer with a steam function. The clothes dryer is provided with a steam generator. An air outlet of the steam generator is communicated with an outer barrel and a drying wind path through pipes, so steam flows to the outer barrel and / or the drying wind path in a controllable manner. The invention also relates to a steam control method of the clothes dryer. In a normal steam treating process of the clothes dryer on clothes, at least most water vapor generated by the steam generator flows into the outer barrel. When a door body on a clothes putting opening of the clothes dryer is open, at least most water vapor generated by the steam generator flows into the drying wind path. Through the above device and method, steam generated by the steam generator flows to the outer barrel and / or the drying wind path in a controllable manner, preventing occurrence that large amount of steam sprays from an opening formed by opening of the door body and waste heat hurts users caused by steam flowing into the outer barrel after a user opens the door body. The clothes dryer is simple in structure and substantial in effect, and is suitable for popularization and application.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a clothes dryer in the washing field, in particular to a clothes dryer with a steam washing function, and also to a steam supply control method for the clothes dryer. Background technique [0002] In order to meet the needs of consumers, additional functions of washing machines emerge in an endless stream, such as steam washing, sterilization, deodorization and other functions. In the existing washing machine products, there are two ways to realize the steam washing function: [0003] One is to install a special steam generator on the washing machine. After the water is vaporized into high-temperature steam in the generator, the steam is poured into the outer cylinder, so as to realize the functions of rapid washing, sterilization and deodorization of clothes. . [0004] For example, the Chinese patent whose application number is CN200510083626 introduces a steam generating device for a washing machine, which includes...
