[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a washing and drying machine, which includes a housing 100 , a washing tub assembly 200 , a condensing module 300 and a drying module 400 .

[0041] The washing tub assembly 200 includes an outer tub, an inner tub and a motor. The motor drives the inner tub to rotate in the outer tub to achieve the washing operation of the clothes in the washing tub assembly 200. The specific structural form and specific washing method of the washing tub assembly 200 can refer to conventional laundry equipment, and no limitation or redundant description is made here. The bottom of the outer tub is provided with an installation opening 201, through which the condensing module 300 is installed.

[0042] After the clothes are washed in the washing tub assembly 200, the drying module 400 can be started to dry the clothes in the washing tub assembly 200. The conventional drying module 400 is composed of a drying air duct 401, an electric heater 402 and a fan 403. One end of the drying air duct 401 is an air inlet, and the other end is an air outlet. The specific operation mode of the drying module 400 to dry the clothes can refer to the structural form of the relevant components in the conventional washing and drying machine, and no limitation or redundant description is made here.

[0043] Before the humid air output from the washing tub assembly 200 enters the clothes drying module 400, the humid air first enters the condensation module 300 for condensation treatment. The condensation module 300 is configured with a first connection port 11 and a second connection port 12. The condensation module 300 is used to condense the air entering from the first connection port and output it from the second connection port.

[0044] The condensing module 300 is directly mounted on the outer drum, the drying module 400 is arranged on the inner wall of the outer shell 100, the air outlet of the drying module 400 is connected with the washing tub assembly 200, the first connecting port 11 of the condensing module 300 is connected with the installation port 201 of the washing tub assembly 200, the second connecting port is connected with the air inlet of the drying module 400 through the first flexible tube 500, and the air outlet of the drying module 400 is connected with the internal cavity of the outer drum.

[0045] Since the condensing module 300 is directly mounted on the outer cylinder, the condensing module 300 can fully utilize the installation space of the outer cylinder to complete the assembly, thereby making the structural arrangement in the housing 100 more compact. At the same time, since the condensing module 300 is directly connected to the outer cylinder without adding additional connecting pipes, the path length of the air flow during the drying process can be shortened, thereby being more conducive to improving the drying efficiency.

[0046] In addition, since the condensing module 300 is directly installed on the outer drum, the condensing module 300 and the drying module 400 are connected via the first flexible tube 500. Thus, the vibration generated during the washing process of the outer drum is buffered by the first flexible tube 500, thereby reducing the influence of the washing vibration on the drying module 400 and improving the reliability of the relevant electrical components in the drying module 400.

[0047] In another embodiment, a water storage area 103 is formed at the bottom of the condensation module 300, and the condensation module 300 is also provided with a water inlet pipe 10, which is used to inject water into the water storage area 103 of the condensation module 300, so as to achieve condensation through the injected water. A water supply pipe 1001 is provided in the housing 100, and the water supply pipe 1001 is connected to the water inlet pipe 10 through the second flexible pipe 600. The second flexible pipe 600 can also reduce the vibration transmitted from the condensation module 300 to the drying module 400. As for the performance entity of the first flexible pipe 500 and the second flexible pipe 600, a corrugated pipe is preferably used.

[0048] Embodiment 2, as Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, during the drying process, the condensation module 300 can condense the high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the washing tub assembly 200. In order to further filter out the lint mixed in the gas during condensation, the washing and drying machine is also equipped with a condensation module 300.

[0049] The condensation module 300 includes a condensation air duct 1 , a first wind shield 2 and a second wind shield 3 .

[0050] The condensation air duct 1 is used to convey the air flow during the clothes drying process. The condensation air duct 1 is provided with a first connection port 11 and a second connection port 12 . The bottom of the condensation air duct 1 forms a water storage area 103 .

[0051] The first wind shield plate 2 is disposed in the condensation air duct 1 and extends from the upper side to the lower side of the condensation air duct 1 , and the second wind shield plate 3 is disposed in the condensation air duct 1 and extends from the lower side to the upper side of the condensation air duct 1 .

[0052] Among them, along the air flow direction inside the condensation duct 1, the first wind shield 2 and the second wind shield 3 are arranged in sequence on one side of the first connecting port 11, so that the lower end of the first wind shield 2 is located in front of the upper end of the second wind shield 3, and an air inlet area 101 is formed between the first wind shield 2, the second wind shield 3 and the first connecting port 11, and an exhaust area 102 is formed between the first wind shield 2, the second wind shield 3 and the second connecting port 12.

[0053] In addition, a water storage area 103 is formed at the bottom of the condensation air duct 1 , the first connecting port 11 is higher than the water storage area 103 , and the second wind shield 3 is located in the water storage area 103 .

[0054] In actual use, before the washing and drying machine starts drying clothes, it is necessary to inject a certain amount of water into the condensing air duct 1 through the water inlet pipe 10, so as to use the water in the condensing air duct 1 to condense the hot and humid gas and clean the lint in the hot and humid gas. After water is injected into the water storage area 103, when the washing and drying machine does not start the drying operation, the water level in the condensing air duct 1 needs to submerge the lower end of the first windshield plate 2. In this way, the first windshield plate 2 and the water in the condensing air duct 1 can isolate the air inlet area 101 from the exhaust area 102.

[0055] After the clothes drying operation is started, the humid airflow outputted from the washing tub assembly 200 enters the condensing module 300. The airflow carrying lint outputted from the washing tub assembly 200 enters the air inlet area 101 in the condensing air duct 1 through the first connecting port 11. Since the air inlet area 101 and the exhaust area 102 are separated by the first wind shield 2 inserted in the water, the water in the air inlet area 101 is pressed into the exhaust area 102 under the action of air pressure, and finally, the airflow enters between the first wind shield 2 and the second wind shield 3 through the bottom of the first wind shield 2.

[0056] When the airflow flows over the surface of the first windshield 2, the airflow fully contacts the water layer on the surface of the first windshield 2 to absorb the lint. At the same time, under the action of the airflow, the water will impact the surface of the second windshield 3, thereby forming a large range of water splashes on the upper part of the second windshield 3. The airflow flowing between the first windshield 2 and the second windshield 3 will be further cleaned by the generated water splashes, thereby achieving the purpose of efficiently removing the lint in the airflow.

[0057] After the airflow output from the washing tub assembly 200 is condensed and treated to remove the lint, the airflow enters the air inlet of the drying module 400 through the second connection port 12 of the condensing module 300, and then flows into the drying module 400 to form a high-temperature dry airflow, and then flows into the washing tub assembly 200 through the air outlet of the drying module 400 to dry the clothes in the washing tub assembly 200, thereby completing one cycle of the airflow. The airflow is controlled to circulate repeatedly between the washing tub assembly 200, the condensing module 300 and the drying module 400 until the clothes in the washing tub assembly 200 are dried. In this way, the washing and drying machine can simultaneously achieve the function of removing lint through the condensing module 300 during the drying process.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, along the horizontal projection direction, the lower end of the first wind shield 2 and the upper end of the second wind shield 3 can form a projection overlap area. Specifically, the lower end of the first wind shield 2 is lower than the upper end of the second wind shield 3 in height, so that the lower end of the first wind shield 2 and the upper end of the second wind shield 3 have a projection overlap area in the horizontal projection direction, and the airflow can be further guided by the second wind shield 3 after bypassing the bottom of the first wind shield 2. In this way, it can be ensured that the airflow can flow between the first wind shield 2 and the second wind shield 3 and enter the exhaust area 102.

[0059] The airflow flows between the first wind shield 2 and the second wind shield 3. On the one hand, it can make the airflow fully contact with the water layer on the surface of the first wind shield 2 and the second wind shield 3 to remove the wire chips. On the other hand, it can also ensure that the airflow can fully contact with the water splashes generated by the second wind shield 3 during the rising process, so as to effectively improve the efficiency of wire chip removal.

[0060] In another embodiment, in order to better optimize the effect of removing the wire scraps, the lower end of the first wind shield 2 is preferably bent toward the direction of the second wind shield 3. Specifically, after the airflow is guided by the lower end of the first wind shield 2, it will flow toward the direction of the second wind shield 3. On the one hand, the airflow can be further guided to flow through the second wind shield 3 to remove the wire scraps. On the other hand, while the airflow flows upward along the second wind shield 3, it can also further impact the water layer above to form a larger range of water splashes.

[0061] Similarly, the upper end of the second wind shield 3 is bent toward the direction of the first wind shield 2. Specifically, the airflow guided by the second wind shield 3 will flow toward the direction of the first wind shield 2 after being guided by its upper end, so that the airflow can be transferred back to the first wind shield 2 to guide the flow, so as to make full use of the water layer on the surface of the first wind shield 2 to remove the lint.

[0062] A more preferred solution is that the lower end of the first wind shield plate 2 and the upper end of the second wind shield plate 3 are both bent.

[0063] In some embodiments, an air guide 21 extending toward the exhaust area 102 may be provided on the upper portion of the first wind shield 2. The air guide 21 is located above the second wind shield 3 and further away from the air inlet area 101 relative to the second wind shield 3. Specifically, in the process of the airflow passing over the lower end of the first wind shield 2 and continuing to flow upward along the first wind shield 2, the airflow will be shielded and guided by the upper air guide 21 to extend the retention time of the airflow in the condensation duct 1, so as to achieve full contact between the airflow and the water for the wire removal operation, so as to effectively improve the efficiency of the wire removal. The air guide 21 is preferably designed to extend obliquely downward, so that the airflow can be guided to flow toward the water surface at the bottom again through the air guide 21, so that the airflow hits the water surface behind the second wind shield 3 again for wire removal.

[0064] In addition, there are many forms for the specific structure of the first wind shield 2 and the second wind shield 3. For example, the first wind shield 2, the second wind shield 3 and the wind guide 21 can all be designed as arc-shaped structures. In this way, the airflow flowing between the lower end of the first wind shield 2 and the upper end of the second wind shield 3 can form a vortex to fully contact with water to improve the effect of removing wire scraps; at the same time, the wind guide 21 located above the second wind shield 3 can form a vortex airflow by guiding the airflow to further optimize the effect of removing wire scraps.

[0065] In order to reduce the amount of water mist overflowing from the second connection port 12, it is preferred to set at least one water baffle (not shown) inside the condensing air duct 1 and below the second connection port 12. Specifically, the water baffle is located below the second connection port 12, and the airflow is shielded by the water baffle during the rising process, which can block the water mist and mixed water droplets in the airflow, so as to reduce the amount of water mist entering the drying module 400, thereby improving the drying efficiency. When multiple water baffles are provided, the multiple water baffles should be arranged in a manner of being spaced apart from each other and staggered laterally.

[0066] Embodiment three, as Figure 4-Figure 7As shown, inside the condensing air duct 1, the surface of the first wind shield 2 opposite to the first connection port 11 forms a windward surface A. The lower part of the condensing air duct 1 is provided with the first connection port 11, and the upper part of the condensing air duct 1 is provided with the second connection port 12. The airflow output from the washing tub assembly 200 enters the condensing air duct 1 through the first connection port 11, and is output from the second connection port 12.

[0067] In addition, the water inlet pipe 10 is arranged on the condensation air duct 1, and the water outputted from the water inlet pipe 10 is used to clean the windward surface A. In actual use, when the clothes drying module 400 is started to dry the clothes in the washing tub assembly 200, the airflow containing lint generated during the drying process of the clothes in the washing tub assembly 200 enters the condensation air duct 1. The airflow enters the condensation air duct 1 through the first connection port 11 and hits the windward surface A. After the airflow is condensed and lint-removed by the water in the water storage area 103, it is finally outputted from the second connection port 12.

[0068] Water is supplied to the condensation air duct through the water inlet pipe, and the water output by the water inlet pipe 10 can clean the windward surface A in the condensation air duct 1. In actual use, lint adheres to the windward surface A, and the water output by the water inlet pipe 10 can effectively clean the lint adhered to the surface of the windward surface A. During the lint removal process, a certain amount of water needs to be injected into the condensation air duct 1 to form a water seal in the water storage area 103 to filter the lint, and each time water is injected, the windward surface A can be cleaned to ensure that the windward surface A does not adhere to too much lint and cause the condensation air duct 1 to be blocked or generate greater wind resistance, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the washing and drying machine.

[0069] In some embodiments, in order to enable the water output by the water inlet pipe 10 to completely clean up the lint on the windward surface A, a water dividing plate 13 is provided inside the condensation air duct 1. The water dividing plate 13 is located above the windward surface A, and a water outlet gap is formed between the water dividing plate 13 and the windward surface A; the water outlet of the water inlet pipe 10 is located above the water dividing plate 13.

[0070] When the water inlet pipe 10 injects water into the condensing air duct 1, the water output from the water inlet pipe 10 will fall onto the water divider 13, which is arranged transversely along the width direction of the windward surface A, so that the water can be distributed along the width direction of the windward surface A and overflow the water divider 13 to flow onto the windward surface A. In this way, the windward surface A can be fully cleaned with water in the width direction to effectively clean the wire scraps adhering to the windward surface A.

[0071] In another embodiment, the water divider 13 is located above the first connection port 11, and a water trough is formed between the water divider 13 and the inner wall of the condensing air duct 1. Specifically, the water divider 13 extends upward at an angle and forms a water trough with the inner wall of the condensing air duct 1, and the water output from the water inlet pipe 10 can be more conveniently guided to be distributed along the width direction of the windward surface A by the water trough.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, a folded edge 131 folded downward is provided on the water diversion plate 13, and the water outlet gap is formed between the folded edge 131 and the windward surface A. Specifically, the edge of the water diversion plate 13 close to the windward surface A forms a folded edge 131 bent downward, and the folded edge 131 can guide the water overflowing from the edge of the water diversion plate 13, so that the water flows more smoothly on the windward surface A.

[0073] Similarly, in another embodiment, the water inlet pipe 10 uses water flow to clean the lint on the windward surface A, and can also use a method of directly spraying water on the windward surface A. That is, the water outlet of the water inlet pipe 10 extends to the inside of the condensation air duct 1, and the water outlet of the water inlet pipe 10 sprays water toward the windward surface A. Specifically, the water output by the water inlet pipe 10 is directly sprayed toward the windward surface A, and the lint on the windward surface A is cleaned by the impact of the water flow.

[0074] In actual use, before drying clothes, water can be injected into the condensation duct 1 through the water inlet pipe 10 to form a certain liquid level of water in the water storage area 103 to achieve condensation and remove lint. Generally, the water level in the water storage area 103 will not exceed the lower edge of the first connecting port 11. At the same time, the water level in the water storage area 103 can be controlled by configuring an overflow port in conventional technology, which is not limited or elaborated here. In addition, after the clothes are dried, the water in the water storage area 103 can be discharged through the drain pipe 14 configured at the bottom of the condensation duct 1, and the drain pipe 14 can be configured with an electric control valve to automatically control the switch of the drain pipe.

[0075] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for a person skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed to be protected by the present invention.
