Benefits of technology

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a dryer washer, by which a gasket provided between a door and a drum is prevented from being torn.
[0031] And, the dryer washer may further include an insulator provided between the tub and the drying duct to prevent heat of the drying duct from being transferred to the tub.

Problems solved by technology

In doing so, the hot air supplied to the drum via the drying duct fails to be fully used in drying the laundry within the drum but then proceeds to the condensing duct.
Hence, drying efficiency is lowered, a drying time is elongated, and power consumption is raised.
Hence, a connection part between the drying duct and the gasket is occasionally torn by vibration of the tub.
Hence, the tub and door are unnecessarily heated to waste energy.

Embodiment Construction

[0042] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0043]FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional diagram of a dryer washer according to the present invention.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 1, an opening 11 as a laundry entrance is provided to a front portion of a case 10, and a door 15 is assembled to the case 10 to open / close the opening 11. A tub 20 is provided within the case 10 to contain a laundry therein. The tub 20 is suspended within the case 10 by a spring (not shown in the drawing) connected to both sides of the case 10 and a damper (not shown in the drawing) connected to a bottom of the case 10 elastically supports a bottom of the tub 20. The spring and damper elastically support the tub 20 and plays a role in attenuating vibration appearing on the tub on operat...

Abstract

The present invention provides a dryer washer, in which hot air for drying a laundry within a drum is discharged outside the drum after being fully used in drying the laundry and by which a gasket provided between a door and a drum is prevented from being torn. The present invention includes a case, a tub provided within the case, a drum rotatably provided within the tub, a condensing duct connected to the tub, the condensing duct sucking air of the tub therein to condense the sucked-in air, and a drying duct connected to a front portion of the tub and the condensing duct to supply dry and hot air to the tub.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of the Korean Application Nos. P2004-26994 and P2004-26995 both filed on Apr. 20, 2004 which are hereby incorporated by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a washer, and more particularly, to a dryer washer which can dry a laundry using hot air after completion of washing and dewatering. [0004] 2. Discussion of the Related Art[0005] Generally, a washer is a representative home appliance for washing a laundry using a detergent and water. Such a washer can be categorized according to a laundry loading position into a top loading type and a front loading type. The top loading type washer generally consists of a vertical tub containing a laundry therein, a pulsator rotatably provided within the tub to wash the laundry, and a lid provided to a top portion of the washer to open / close the tub. And, the front loading type washer generally consists of a horizontal drum conta...
