To meet consumers' growing demand for healthy washing, various companies have put the research and development of small multi-functional washing machines on their agenda. Existing technology involves placing clothes in the drying drum and introducing high-temperature airflow into the drum.

[0042] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] The terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “Multiple” generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.

[0044] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0045] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.

[0046] In existing washing machines, clothes are placed inside the drying drum during the drying process, and a high-temperature airflow is introduced into the drum. When the high-temperature airflow comes into contact with the clothes, it converts the moisture on the clothes into water vapor and expels it, thus drying the clothes. However, due to the lack of necessary support frames, the clothes are stacked inside the drying drum, and the high-temperature airflow cannot fully contact the surface of the clothes, resulting in long drying time and incomplete drying. Uneven distribution of high-temperature airflow can cause deformation of the clothes, and there is a tendency for clothes on the outer side to be dried while clothes on the inner side are not yet dried.

[0047] This invention creatively provides a drying assembly, including a housing, an internal drying air duct, and a side wall of the housing with a contoured structure adapted to a preset drying object. The contoured structure has an air outlet connected to the drying air duct. During drying, the preset drying object is supported on the contoured structure, placing it in an unfolded state to increase the contact area between the drying airflow and the object. The drying airflow from the drying air duct flows to the preset drying object through the air outlet. The drying airflow is evenly distributed, ensuring thorough and sufficient drying, improving drying efficiency, shortening drying time, and solving the problems of incomplete drying and low efficiency due to insufficient contact between the drying airflow and the preset drying object, as well as the problem of clothing deformation caused by uneven airflow distribution.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] <Drying Components>

[0050] like Figures 1a to 4c As shown, this embodiment provides a drying assembly, including a housing 1, a drying air duct is formed inside the housing 1, and a contoured structure 11 adapted to a preset drying object is formed on the side wall of the housing 1; the contoured structure 11 forms an air outlet 111, which is connected to the drying air duct.

[0051] Specifically, the housing 1 includes a first housing 181 and a second housing 182; the first housing 181 includes a first side portion, which is vertically arranged and the sidewall of the first side portion forms a contoured structure 11, which protrudes outward from the first side portion; the second housing 182 includes a second side portion, which is vertically arranged and the sidewall of the second side portion forms a contoured structure 11, which protrudes outward from the second side portion; the first side portion and the second side portion are fastened together to form a drying air duct;

[0052] During drying, the preset drying object is supported on the contour structure 11, and the drying airflow from the drying duct flows to the preset drying object through the air outlet 111. The preset drying object is in an unfolded state, the drying airflow is evenly distributed, the contact area between the drying airflow and the preset drying object is large, the drying is thorough and sufficient, the drying efficiency is improved, the drying time is shortened, and the problems of incomplete drying and low efficiency caused by small contact area between the drying airflow and the preset drying object are solved, as well as the problem of clothing deformation caused by uneven distribution of drying airflow are solved.

[0053] Preferably, the preset drying object is a bra, and the shaping structure 11 is a bra cup structure; the shaping structure 11 includes two, and the two shaping structures 11 are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the shell 1; each shaping structure 11 has an air outlet 111.

[0054] To address the issues of large space occupation and narrow application range of existing drying components, this embodiment proposes that the drying duct sequentially forms an evaporator cavity and a condenser cavity along the direction of the drying airflow. A baffle 17 is provided between the evaporator cavity and the condenser cavity to guide the drying airflow across the evaporator 21 and the condenser 22. A through hole is formed between the baffle 17 and the side wall of the drying duct. The through hole connects the evaporator cavity and the condenser cavity, allowing the drying airflow in the evaporator cavity to enter the condenser cavity through the through hole.

[0055] The drying assembly also includes an evaporator 21 and a condenser 22, with the evaporator 21 disposed in the evaporator cavity and the condenser 22 disposed in the condenser cavity;

[0056] The hot and humid drying airflow in the drying duct is transformed into a dry drying airflow when it flows through the evaporator 21, and then into a high-temperature drying airflow when it flows through the condenser 22.

[0057] Specifically, the evaporator cavity includes a first sub-evaporator cavity 121 and a second sub-evaporator cavity 122, which are connected. The condenser cavity includes a first condenser cavity 131 and a second condenser cavity 132, both of which are equipped with condensers 22. The first sub-evaporator cavity 121 is connected to the first condenser cavity 131, and the second sub-evaporator cavity 122 is connected to the second condenser cavity 132. A portion of the drying airflow can flow sequentially through the first sub-evaporator cavity 121 and the first condenser cavity 131, while another portion of the drying airflow can flow sequentially through the second sub-evaporator cavity 122 and the second condenser cavity 132. This effectively reduces the humidity of the drying airflow, increases its temperature, ensures its drying performance, improves drying efficiency, and shortens the drying time.

[0058] To address the issue that the lack of fragrance-enhancing function in the drying components prevents the fragrance enhancement of the drying airflow, this embodiment proposes that a functional cavity 14 is formed inside the contoured structure 11, and an aromatherapy box 23 is disposed inside the functional cavity 14; multiple aromatherapy holes 231 are formed on the side wall of the aromatherapy box 23, and each aromatherapy hole 231 connects the functional cavity 14 and the interior of the aromatherapy box 23; an aromatherapy material 24 is disposed inside the aromatherapy box 23, and the aromatherapy material 24 can emit an aromatherapy scent;

[0059] The drying airflow enters the functional chamber 14 through the drying air duct, and then enters the interior of the aromatherapy box 23 through the aromatherapy hole 231 to mix with the aromatherapy gas, or mixes with the aromatherapy gas that enters the functional chamber 14 through the aromatherapy hole 231. The mixture of drying airflow and aromatherapy gas then flows to the preset drying object through the air outlet 111. It can filter out odors in the drying airflow, which is conducive to the aromatherapy directly acting on the preset drying object and greatly improves the user experience.

[0060] To address the issues of complex structure and large space occupation of the shell 1, this embodiment proposes that the first sub-evaporator cavity 121 and the second sub-evaporator cavity 122 are located at the lower left and lower right corners of the functional cavity 14, respectively, and the first condenser cavity 131 and the second condenser cavity 132 are located at the upper left and upper right corners of the functional cavity 14, respectively; both the first condenser cavity 131 and the second condenser cavity 132 are connected to the functional cavity 14; the structure is simple and occupies little space, and both the first condenser cavity 131 and the second condenser cavity 132 can deliver drying airflow to the functional cavity 14, with a large drying airflow rate.

[0061] Furthermore, the drying air duct also forms a fan chamber 15, which is located at the bottom of the functional chamber 14 and includes a fan chamber outlet 152, which is connected to both sub-evaporator chambers.

[0062] The drying assembly also includes a fan 26, which is disposed in the fan chamber 15 and is used to drive the drying airflow. Under the action of the fan 26, a portion of the drying airflow in the fan chamber 15 flows sequentially through the first sub-evaporator chamber 121 and the first condenser chamber 131 into the functional chamber 14; another portion of the drying airflow in the fan chamber 15 flows sequentially through the second sub-evaporator chamber 122 and the second condenser chamber 132 into the functional chamber 14.

[0063] In addition, the fan cavity 15 also includes a fan cavity inlet 151; an air inlet 16 is formed on the bottom wall of the housing 1, and an air inlet cavity is formed between the air inlet 16 and the fan cavity inlet 151; the air inlet 16 is used for airflow from outside the housing 1 to enter the air inlet cavity, and at the same time, it drains water during steam treatment to avoid water residue.

[0064] Under the action of the fan 26, the airflow outside the housing 1 can enter the fan chamber 15 through the air inlet 16, the air inlet cavity and the fan chamber inlet 151, and then enter the first sub-evaporator cavity 121 and the second sub-evaporator cavity 122 through the fan chamber outlet 152 respectively. After being condensed and dried by the evaporator 21, the moisture in the drying airflow is reduced. The drying airflow in the first sub-evaporator cavity 121 enters the functional cavity 14 through the first condenser cavity 131, and the drying airflow in the second sub-evaporator cavity 122 enters the functional cavity 14 through the second condenser cavity 132. The temperature of the drying airflow increases when flowing through the condenser 22. The drying airflow in the functional cavity 14 mixes with the aroma and is discharged to the bra through the air outlet 111, thereby achieving the drying treatment of the bra.

[0065] Furthermore, the first housing 181 also includes a first bottom, which is horizontally arranged and has a semi-circular structure; the second housing 182 also includes a second bottom, which is horizontally arranged and has a semi-circular structure; the first bottom and the second bottom are concentrically arranged and surround an air inlet cavity.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] Unlike Embodiment 1, the drying assembly also includes a heater 25, which is disposed in the functional chamber 14 and is used to heat the drying airflow flowing through the functional chamber 14; it can provide high-temperature steam to achieve steam care and high-temperature sterilization functions.

[0070] Example 3
