Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of laundry and drying technology, and more specifically to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most washer-dryer combos on the market have only one condenser duct or no condenser duct at all. This simple condenser duct structure generally results in low condensation efficiency of the drying gases during the drying process. Poor condensation efficiency leads to longer dehumidification times and higher power consumption for clothes. This invention addresses the following technical problems:

[0003] Because existing washer-dryer combos suffer from low condensation efficiency of drying gas, resulting in long dehumidification time and high power consumption for clothes, this invention researches and designs a clothing processing device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the existing washer-dryer combo machine, which has low drying gas condensation efficiency and poor condensation efficiency, resulting in long dehumidification time and high power consumption of clothes, thereby providing a clothes processing device.

[0005] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a garment processing device, comprising:

[0006] The system comprises a rear cylinder, an inner cylinder, a main condenser section, a rear cylinder condenser section, and a three-way pipe. The main condenser section and the rear cylinder condenser section are connected by a vent pipe. The rear cylinder includes an inner wall, and the inner cylinder includes an outer wall. The rear cylinder condenser section includes a space formed by the inner wall and the outer wall, a rear cylinder spray pipe, the inner wall, and the outer wall. The rear cylinder spray pipe sprays water onto the humid and hot air inside the rear cylinder for condensation and heat exchange. The main condenser section includes a condensation duct on the outer wall of the rear cylinder and a condenser spray pipe on the condensation duct. The condenser spray pipe sprays water onto the humid and hot air entering the condensation duct for condensation and heat exchange.

[0007] The three-way pipe includes the rear cylinder spray pipe, the condenser spray pipe and the water inlet pipe. One end of the rear cylinder spray pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe and the other end extends into the interior of the rear cylinder. One end of the condenser spray pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe and the other end extends into the interior of the condenser air duct.

[0008] In some embodiments, at least one of the rear cylinder spray pipe, the condenser spray pipe, and the water inlet pipe is provided with a control valve; and / or, the rear cylinder spray pipe can spray water onto at least one of the humid and hot air in the rear cylinder inner wall, the inner cylinder outer wall, and the space formed by the rear cylinder inner wall and the inner cylinder outer wall for condensation heat exchange.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rear cylinder is provided with a first air outlet and a second air outlet, and the condensing air duct is provided with a first air inlet and a second air inlet. The first air outlet is connected to the first air inlet to guide the humid and hot air inside the rear cylinder into the condensing air duct. The second air outlet is connected to the second air inlet through a vent pipe to guide the air inside the rear cylinder that has been condensed in the rear cylinder into the condensing air duct. One end of the vent pipe is connected to the interior of the rear cylinder, and the other end extends into the interior of the condensing air duct and is connected to the condensing air duct. The vent pipe is located outside the rear cylinder.

[0010] In some embodiments, the structure combining the vent pipe and the condenser duct is projected onto a horizontal plane to form a "Y"-shaped duct.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first air outlet is located below the second air outlet, and the first air intake is located below the second air intake.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second air outlet is located above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder, and the second air outlet is located at the upper end of the circumferential wall of the rear cylinder or on the rear cylinder wall of the rear cylinder.

[0013] In some embodiments, when the second air outlet is located at the upper end of the circumferential wall of the rear cylinder, the center line of the second air outlet is vertically downward; when the second air outlet is located on the rear cylinder wall of the rear cylinder, the center line of the second air outlet is perpendicular to the rear cylinder wall of the rear cylinder.

[0014] In some embodiments, when the second air outlet is located at the upper end of the circumferential wall of the rear cylinder, the second air outlet is located directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder in the projection plane of the rear cylinder wall, or the position of the second air outlet is offset from the position directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder.

[0015] When the position of the second air outlet directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder is offset, there is an offset angle of 0 to 120° between the center of the second air outlet and the center of the central shaft hole and the vertical direction.

[0016] In some embodiments, when the second air outlet is disposed on the rear cylinder wall of the rear cylinder, the second air outlet is located directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder or offset from the position directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder; when the second air outlet is offset from the position directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder, there is an offset angle of 0 to 120° between the center of the second air outlet and the center of the central shaft hole and the vertical direction.

[0017] In some embodiments, the condensing air duct is a channel structure with at least three channels, and a third air outlet is also provided on the condensing air duct, which can transport the air in the condensing air duct to the heating air duct.

[0018] In some embodiments, when a third air outlet is provided on the condensing air duct, the garment handling device further includes a heating air duct and a heater. The heating air duct has an air intake, which is connected to the third air outlet on the condensing air duct. The other end of the heating air duct can be connected to the inner drum and / or the rear drum. The heater is disposed in the heating air duct.

[0019] The garment processing device provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This invention utilizes a main condenser comprising a condensing air duct mounted on the outer wall of the rear cylinder and a condenser spray pipe mounted on the condensing air duct. The condenser spray pipe sprays water onto the humid, hot air entering the condensing air duct for condensation and heat exchange. Simultaneously, a rear cylinder condensation section includes the space formed by the inner wall and outer wall of the rear cylinder, the rear cylinder spray pipe, the inner wall of the rear cylinder, and the outer wall of the inner cylinder. The rear cylinder spray pipe sprays water onto at least one of the humid, hot air within the inner wall, the outer wall of the inner cylinder, and the space formed by the inner and outer walls of the rear cylinder for condensation and heat exchange. This creates a dual-condensation structure where both the main condensation section and the rear cylinder condensation section simultaneously condense and cool the humid, hot air. This improves dehumidification and condensation efficiency, effectively solving the problem of limited space in condensers, which is often a limitation of the overall layout of washer-dryer combos. The existing channels, which hinder sufficient contact between steam and external water sources, result in low condensation efficiency. This invention rationally utilizes the existing space, extending the contact path between steam and external water sources during air circulation, thereby improving condensation efficiency and increasing the drying efficiency of the washer-dryer. Furthermore, the invention uses a three-way pipe, including a rear drum spray pipe and a condenser spray pipe, to connect the condensate water pipes into one unit. This allows for simultaneous spraying of the condensation duct and the condensation patterns within the rear drum, achieving simultaneous condensation. The individual spray pipes can be controlled to open or close as needed. When increased drying effect is required, both condensers can be activated simultaneously to maximize the condensation drying effect. Conversely, when reduced drying effect is needed (in the later stages of drying), one condenser section can be shut off to minimize energy waste and damage to clothing during the later stages of drying.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0028] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a garment processing device, which includes:

[0029] The system comprises a rear cylinder 8, an inner cylinder, a main condenser section, a rear cylinder condenser section, and a three-way pipe 2. The main condenser section and the rear cylinder condenser section are connected by a vent pipe 1. The rear cylinder 8 includes an inner wall, and the inner cylinder includes an outer wall. The rear cylinder condenser section includes the space formed by the inner wall and the outer wall of the rear cylinder, a rear cylinder spray pipe 21, the inner wall of the rear cylinder, and the outer wall of the inner cylinder. The rear cylinder spray pipe 21 can spray water onto the humid and hot air inside the rear cylinder 8 (preferably at least one of the inner wall of the rear cylinder, the outer wall of the inner cylinder, and the space formed by the inner wall and the outer wall of the inner cylinder) for condensation and heat exchange. The main condenser section includes a condenser duct 4 disposed on the outer wall of the rear cylinder 8 and a condenser spray pipe 22 disposed on the condenser duct 4. The condenser spray pipe 22 can spray water onto the humid and hot air entering the condenser duct 4 for condensation and heat exchange.

[0030] The three-way pipe 2 includes the rear cylinder spray pipe 21, the condenser spray pipe 22 and the water inlet pipe 23. One end of the rear cylinder spray pipe 21 is connected to the water inlet pipe 23 and the other end extends into the interior of the rear cylinder 8. One end of the condenser spray pipe 22 is connected to the water inlet pipe 23 and the other end extends into the interior of the condenser air duct 4.

[0031] This invention utilizes a main condenser comprising a condensing air duct mounted on the outer wall of the rear cylinder and a condenser spray pipe mounted on the condensing air duct. The condenser spray pipe sprays water onto the humid, hot air entering the condensing air duct for condensation and heat exchange. Simultaneously, a rear cylinder condensation section includes the space formed by the inner wall and outer wall of the rear cylinder, the rear cylinder spray pipe, the inner wall of the rear cylinder, and the outer wall of the inner cylinder. The rear cylinder spray pipe sprays water onto at least one of the humid, hot air within the inner wall, the outer wall of the inner cylinder, and the space formed by the inner and outer walls of the rear cylinder for condensation and heat exchange. This creates a dual-condensation structure where both the main condensation section and the rear cylinder condensation section simultaneously condense and cool the humid, hot air. This improves dehumidification and condensation efficiency, effectively solving the problem of limited space in condensers, which is often a limitation of the overall layout of washer-dryer combos. The existing channels, which hinder sufficient contact between steam and external water sources, result in low condensation efficiency. This invention rationally utilizes the existing space, extending the contact path between steam and external water sources during air circulation, thereby improving condensation efficiency and increasing the drying efficiency of the washer-dryer. Furthermore, the invention uses a three-way pipe, including a rear drum spray pipe and a condenser spray pipe, to connect the condensate water pipes into one unit. This allows for simultaneous spraying of the condensation duct and the condensation patterns within the rear drum, achieving simultaneous condensation. The individual spray pipes can be controlled to open or close as needed. When increased drying effect is required, both condensers can be activated simultaneously to maximize the condensation drying effect. Conversely, when reduced drying effect is needed (in the later stages of drying), one condenser section can be shut off to minimize energy waste and damage to clothing during the later stages of drying.

[0032] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this invention adds a vent pipe and a T-junction pipe to the existing washing machine, allowing hot and humid air inside the drum to enter the condensing duct through the first air outlet 5 and the second air outlet 7 during the drying program. A T-junction pipe connects to the condensing duct above for spraying, achieving a condensation effect. In addition, a condensing water path is provided in the rear drum, allowing the hot and humid air inside the drum to undergo double condensation through the rear drum and the condensing duct, achieving a double condensation effect. This invention mainly describes the location of the vent pipe and does not provide a detailed description of the rear drum condensation.

[0033] When the drying mode is running, air inside the drum enters the condenser duct in two ways simultaneously: one is directly from the first air outlet 5, and the other is through the second air outlet 7 and the vent pipe 1.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown in the diagram, the vent pipe is located directly above the washing machine shaft. During the drying mode, some of the hot and humid air enters the vent pipe through the second air outlet 7 and then enters the condenser duct for air circulation. The three-way pipe connects the water valve, the condenser duct, and the outer drum of the washing machine. During drying, the washing machine controls the water valve to spray water, which simultaneously condenses the water in the rear drum and the condenser duct.

[0035] This invention offers the following advantages: 1. The dual-condensation structure significantly improves the condensation efficiency of hot and humid air inside the drying drum, thereby significantly reducing drying time. 2. The Y-shaped condensation duct design with its double-hole feature increases the airflow velocity inside the drum, accelerating heat exchange. 3. The three-way pipe can simultaneously spray the condensation duct and the condensation patterns inside the rear drum, achieving simultaneous condensation.

[0036] In some embodiments, a control valve 3 is provided on at least one of the rear spray pipe 21, the condenser spray pipe 22, and the water inlet pipe 23. The present invention also allows for the installation of a control valve 3 on at least one of the rear spray pipe 21, the condenser spray pipe 22, and the water inlet pipe 23. This allows for the installation of control valves on one pipe section, or on two or three pipe sections. This enables the control of opening or closing each spray pipe as needed. When increased drying effect is required, both condensers can be activated simultaneously to enhance the condensation drying effect; when decreased drying effect is required (in the later stages of drying), one condenser section can be closed to reduce the drying effect, thereby reducing energy waste and minimizing damage to clothing in the later stages of drying.

[0037] In some embodiments, the rear cylinder 8 is provided with a first air outlet 5 and a second air outlet 7, and the condensing air duct 4 is provided with a first air intake and a second air intake. The first air outlet 5 is connected to the first air intake to guide the humid and hot air inside the rear cylinder 8 into the condensing air duct 4. The second air outlet 7 is connected to the second air intake through a vent pipe 1 to guide the air inside the rear cylinder 8 that has been condensed in the rear cylinder into the condensing air duct 4. One end of the vent pipe 1 is connected to the interior of the rear cylinder 8, and the other end extends into the interior of the condensing air duct 4 and is connected to the condensing air duct 4. The vent pipe 1 is located outside the rear cylinder 8. This is the preferred connection method between the rear cylinder and the condensing air duct of the present invention. The first air outlet can introduce the humid and hot air in the rear cylinder that has not passed through or has only partially passed through the rear cylinder for condensation into the condensing air duct through the first air intake, so as to carry out condensation heat exchange in the condensing air duct. The second air outlet can introduce the air in the rear cylinder that has passed through or has mostly passed through the rear cylinder for condensation into the condensing air duct through the vent pipe and the second air intake, effectively forming a double condensation structure, maximizing the condensation heat exchange effect and improving the drying effect. The function of the vent pipe is to connect the second air outlet and the second air intake, so as to achieve effective air connection and guidance. The vent pipe of the present invention is preferably a bent pipe with at least two bends.

[0038] In some embodiments, the combined structure of the vent pipe 1 and the condensing air duct 4 forms a "Y"-shaped air duct on the horizontal plane. This is the preferred structural form of the vent pipe of the present invention. The "Y"-shaped condensing air duct refers to the condensing air duct + vent pipe. Because the combined shape of these two parts resembles a Y, it is called a Y-shaped condensing air duct. It can increase the existing single-hole condensing air ducts on the market to a double-hole condensing air duct. This design can accelerate the air flow rate inside the barrel and improve the heat exchange efficiency. The double-hole feature of the Y-shaped condensing air duct structure design can increase the air flow rate inside the barrel and accelerate the heat exchange of the air inside the barrel.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first air outlet 5 is located below the second air outlet 7, and the first air intake is located below the second air intake. The first exhaust port of this invention is located below, primarily discharging the humid, hot steam inside the rear cylinder, most of which has not undergone the heat exchange process of condensation in the rear cylinder and has high humidity. The second exhaust port is located above, primarily discharging the air above the rear cylinder after condensation and heat exchange; this air is mainly dehumidified dry air, hence its location above.

[0040] In some embodiments, the second air outlet 7 is disposed above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder 8, and the second air outlet 7 is disposed at the upper end of the circumferential wall of the rear cylinder 8 or on the rear cylinder wall of the rear cylinder 8. This is the preferred location and configuration of the second air outlet of the present invention, which can exhaust the air after heat exchange through the upper second air outlet. In the main embodiment, the second air outlet is disposed at the upper end of the circumferential wall of the rear cylinder 8, such as... Figure 1 In an alternative embodiment, the second air outlet is located on the rear wall of the rear cylinder 8, such as... Figure 4 .

[0041] In some embodiments, when the second air outlet 7 is located at the upper end of the circumferential wall of the rear cylinder 8, the centerline of the second air outlet 7 is vertically downward; when the second air outlet 7 is located on the rear cylinder wall of the rear cylinder 8, the centerline of the second air outlet 7 is perpendicular to the rear cylinder wall of the rear cylinder 8. Preferably, the second air outlet 7 is located on the rear cylinder wall, and its centerline is perpendicular to the rear cylinder wall, which allows the condensate entering the vent pipe to flow down the rear cylinder wall, preventing the condensed water from dripping onto the clothes, affecting drying, preventing the clothes from getting wet, and improving the drying efficiency.

[0042] In some embodiments, when the second air outlet 7 is disposed at the upper end of the circumferential wall of the rear cylinder 8, the second air outlet 7 is located directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder 8 in the projection plane of the rear cylinder wall, or the position of the second air outlet 7 is offset from the position directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder.

[0043] When the position of the second air outlet 7 directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder is offset, there is an offset angle of 0 to 120° between the center of the second air outlet 7 and the center of the central shaft hole and the vertical direction.

[0044] This is a preferred configuration of the second air outlet of the present invention. It is located on the upper end of the circumferential wall of the rear drum, either directly above the central shaft hole or offset, both of which effectively exhaust air. One end of the vent pipe is connected to the condenser duct, and the other end is connected to the upper part of the outer drum directly above the washing machine bearing. The present invention further preferably connects the other end of the vent pipe to the outer drum directly above the washing machine bearing, offset to the left or right by 30 degrees. This achieves a better condensation effect. If the other end of the vent pipe is connected to the outer drum directly above the washing machine bearing and offset to the left or right by 30-120 degrees, the condensation effect gradually weakens as the angle increases.

[0045] In some embodiments, when the second air outlet 7 is disposed on the rear cylinder wall of the rear cylinder 8, the second air outlet 7 is located directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder 8 or offset from the position directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder; when the second air outlet 7 is offset from the position directly above the central shaft hole of the rear cylinder, there is an offset angle of 0 to 120° between the center of the second air outlet 7 and the center of the central shaft hole and the vertical direction.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the vent pipe does not necessarily have to be connected to the top of the outer drum. Whether the vent pipe is connected to the top of the outer drum or the rear wall of the outer drum, as long as it is connected above the washing machine bearing with a left-right offset of 0-120 degrees, it is within the protection scope of this application.

[0047] It should also be noted that the number of vent pipes is not limited to one. Depending on the characteristics of different washer-dryers, multiple vent pipes can be set, and the position of any one of the multiple vent pipes offset from 0 to 120 degrees to the left or right on the outer drum directly above the washing machine bearing is within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0048] In some embodiments, the condensing air duct 4 is a channel structure with at least three channels, and a third air outlet is also provided on the condensing air duct, which can transport the air in the condensing air duct 4 to the heating air duct.

[0049] In some embodiments, when a third air outlet is provided on the condensing air duct 4, the clothing treatment device further includes a heating air duct 9 and a heater. The heating air duct 9 has an air intake, which is connected to the third air outlet on the condensing air duct 4. The other end of the heating air duct 9 can be connected to the inner tube and / or the rear tube. The heater is disposed in the heating air duct 9.

[0050] In some embodiments, a fan 6 is also provided in the heating duct 9; and / or, the garment handling device is a washer-dryer combo.

[0051] It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that, without conflict, the advantageous technical features of the above-mentioned methods can be freely combined and superimposed.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
