However, a large amount of heat is lost, and the heat supply load of the drying room is increased.

[0031] The laundry machine heat recovery device comprises a drainage heat recovery water tank 41 and a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger comprises a heat dissipation medium pipeline and a heat absorption medium pipeline; the water inlet pipe of the drainage heat recovery water tank 41 is communicated with the water outlet pipe of the laundry machine 4, the water outlet pipe of the drainage heat recovery water tank 41 is communicated with the heat dissipation pipeline of the heat exchanger, the waste water discharged from the laundry machine 4 is introduced into the heat dissipation pipeline, the heat absorption pipeline is introduced into tap water, and the water outlet of the heat absorption pipeline is connected with the heat storage water tank 5; the heat storage water tank 5 is connected with the second cold water inlet of the laundry machine 4 through a pipeline.

[0032] The wet and hot waste gas generated by the ironing machine 7 in the laundry room 3, the wet and hot waste gas generated by the high-temperature washing of the laundry machine 4 and the wet and hot waste gas generated by the drying of clothes in the drying room 2 are all introduced into the return air pipeline, and the evaporator absorbs heat to condense the wet and hot waste gas into water; the drying heat supply mode of the drying room adopts the heat pump 1 heat supply mode, the condenser of the heat pump 1 provides high-temperature heat for the drying room 2, which is sent to the drying room 2 through the air supply pipeline; the evaporator of the heat pump provides cold energy for dehumidification of the drying room and the laundry room; when the outlet water temperature of the evaporator is lower than the set value, it indicates that the heat required by the drying room is greater than the heat collected by the drying room 2 for dehumidification at this time, and the controller opens the electric regulating valve to recover the heat for dehumidification of the laundry room at this time, so that the low-temperature heat source gap required by the heat pump 1 to run the evaporator in the present scheme comes from the high-heat and high-humidity working environment of the laundry machine 4 and the ironing machine 7. The heat storage water tank 5 stores the 80℃ high-temperature softened water discharged from the ironing machine 7 and the steam generating device 6, and then the high-temperature softened water is reused for washing in the laundry machine 4, which can reduce the consumption of high-temperature steam for washing.
[0033] The waste water discharged from the washing machine 4 is collected in the drain heat recovery water tank 41, and the waste water is pumped into the heat exchanger 3 by the water pump 512. When the waste water passes through the first heat exchanger 42 and the second heat exchanger 43, the temperature of the waste water is gradually reduced. The cold water is preheated and warmed up by the second heat exchanger 43 first, and then warmed up again by the first heat exchanger 42. The waste heat of the discharged waste water is utilized by the first heat exchanger 42 and the second heat exchanger 43 in stages, and finally the waste water is discharged at a temperature of 20℃, realizing the full utilization of waste heat and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat exchanger. The waste water is heated and warmed up in the heat exchanger, and then stored in the heat storage water tank 5. The temperature of the water after being warmed up twice can reach 50-60℃. The hot water in the heat storage water tank 5 is introduced into the washing machine 4 again, improving the water temperature of the washing machine 4, thereby saving the amount of steam used and saving energy.
[0034] Taking the actual hospital washing machine room technical transformation project of the unit as an example, the scheme saves 1t / d of steam consumption and 110m 3 / d of natural gas; the ironing machine 7, the steam generating device 6 and other drain devices discharge condensate water, 5.2t per day, with a recovery water temperature of 80℃, a recovery heat quantity of (80℃-20℃)*1.163*5.2m 3 , and a total recovery heat quantity of 363kw, saving 55m 3 / d of natural gas; and saving 6.2t / d of water.
[0035] The discharge capacity of a single washing machine 4 is 0.3-0.5m 3 / minute, and each washing machine 4 is cleaned 25-40 times per day. Taking the average value for calculation, 0.4m 3 / minute*30 times / d, the daily hot water recovery quantity is 12m 3 , the average hot water recovery temperature is 60℃, the recovery heat quantity is (60℃-20℃)*1.163*12m 3 , the total recovery heat quantity is 558kw, and 85m 3 / d of natural gas is saved.
[0036] As can be seen from the above data, the laundry room heat energy recovery system using the scheme has remarkable energy saving effect. Through the operation of the device, the humid hot air in the drying chamber is condensed in the drying and dehumidifying heat exchanger, thereby removing the moisture in the air. The dehumidified air is heated by the high-temperature heat exchanger in the air supply pipe under the action of the air supply fan, and then enters the drying chamber again through the air supply pipe, thereby reducing the humidity in the drying chamber to below 30%. The dehumidification reduces the humidity in the drying chamber, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the drying chamber.
[0037] The same part of embodiment 2 as embodiment 1 is not repeated, and the difference is that the return air pipe 12 and the supply air pipe 14 are arranged vertically in the drying chamber 2, the air outlet end of the supply air pipe 14 is away from the air inlet end of the return air pipe 12, and the air inlet end of the supply air pipe 14 is close to the air outlet end of the return air pipe 12.
[0038] By arranging the return air pipe and the supply air pipe vertically, the air outlet end of the supply air pipe is away from the air inlet end of the return air pipe, so that the hot air discharged by the hot air supply pipe 14 flows along a 90-degree arc to the return air pipe in the drying room, and the hot air heats and evaporates the clothes to be dried in the drying chamber 2 to form humid hot air, and then takes out the humid hot air in the drying chamber 2; the air inlet end of the supply air pipe 14 is close to the air outlet end of the return air pipe 12, so that the evaporation circulation pipeline and the condensation circulation pipeline can be arranged along the same path outside, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the external pipeline.
[0039] The heat storage water tank 5 includes a clean heat preservation water tank 51 and a waste heat recovery water tank 52, the clean heat preservation water tank 51 is connected with the steam outlet of the iron 7 through a pipeline, the waste heat recovery water tank 52 is connected with the water inlet of the washing machine 4 through a pipeline, and the clean heat preservation water tank 51 and the waste heat recovery water tank 52 are connected through a pipeline. The waste heat recovery water tank 52 is provided with a water level sensor 511, the clean heat preservation water tank 51 is provided with a water pump 512 for pumping hot water from the clean heat preservation water tank 51 into the waste heat recovery water tank 52, the output end of the water level sensor 511 is electrically connected with a second controller 513, and the output end of the second controller 513 is electrically connected with the input end of the water pump 512. The second controller 513 controls the start and stop of the water pump 512 according to the signal of the water level sensor 511.
[0040] When the water level signal sent by the water level sensor 511 to the second controller 513 is lower than the preset value, the second controller 513 outputs a control signal to control the water pump 512 to start, and then the soft water in the clean heat preservation water tank 51 is pumped into the waste heat recovery water tank 52, so that the waste heat recovery water tank 52 provides hot water for the washing water of the washing machine 4. The waste heat recovery water tank 52 is automatically replenished, so as to ensure sufficient washing water for the washing machine 4.
[0041] By arranging the clean heat preservation water tank 51 and the waste heat recovery water tank 52, the collected high-temperature softened water and the tap water heated by the heat exchanger are distinguished, so that the softened water in the softened water tank can be taken according to the need, and the softened water is used for washing to enrich the foam, reduce the wear of the clothes, make the clothes soft after washing, and keep the color longer.
[0042] The above-mentioned are only embodiments of the present application, and the common knowledge of specific structures and characteristics in the scheme is not described too much. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application, which will not affect the effect and practicality of the patent.
