Description

Among them, the condensing channel and the main air duct are connected, and the fan and the heater are arranged in the main air duct. During the drying process of the condensing type washer-dryer, the fan rotates to drive the air to form a circulating airflow in the drying module and the drum. The specific working process is as follows: under the action of the fan, the dry hot air in the main air duct blows to the clothes in the drum and takes away the moisture in the clothes, and then forms humid hot air. The humid hot air re-enters the condensing channel, and after heat exchange and mixing with the condensed water flow, the humid hot air vapor is liquefied and becomes cold air, and then passes through the heater and becomes dry hot air and blows into the drum, and so on. In the above-mentioned circulation process, the generated hair scraps will enter the drying module with the air flow, and then adhere to the temperature surface of the fan, heater and other components in the fan. If the hair scraps are not cleaned in time, it may block the air duct, reduce the flow area, cause the air volume to decrease, and affect the drying effect of the clothes. If the hair scraps accumulate too much on the heater, it may cause an open flame, thus posing a safety hazard.

[0010] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the horizontal distance from the anti-overflow guide rib to the diversion structure is 3 to 5 times the horizontal distance from the vertical section to the diversion structure.

[0011] In a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothes processing device, a horizontal distance from the vertical section to the diverter structure is 0.5 to 2 mm.

[0016] When the above technical scheme is adopted, the condensation channel of the clothing processing device of the utility model comprises a mixing duct, a first spiral duct and a second spiral duct, the mixing duct is located above the first spiral duct and the second spiral duct, the mixing duct is connected with the first spiral duct and the second spiral duct at the same time, the first spiral duct and the second spiral duct are arranged to enable the airflow entering the air inlet to spirally rise, so that the airflow forms an ascending spiral airflow in the spiral duct, and at the same time the guide structure can guide the water outlet of the condensation water nozzle, guide and divert the water into the two spiral ducts, the condensed water forms a vortex driven by the spiral airflow in the spiral duct, and in the process of mixing of the air and water phases, the water is thrown onto the inner wall of the spiral duct under the action of centrifugal force, and then flows downward along the wall surface under the action of gravity, and can clean the hair debris on the wall surface while flowing downward, the air density is relatively small, and in the middle of the spiral duct The core area moves upward to achieve separation of gas and water phases; thus, the clothing processing equipment of the utility model operates in the spiral air duct with the help of the swirling flow of condensed water and airflow, and heat exchange is completed between the two phases. The water vapor in the gas phase is cooled and liquefied and then flows downward with most of the water. At the same time, hair debris is also transferred from the airflow to the water flow in this process and flows downward with the water flow to complete the separation of hair debris, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of hair debris during the drying process. At the same time, the guide structure cooperates with the diversion structure to guide and divert the condensed water, which can ensure that condensed water is introduced into the two spiral air ducts, thereby effectively ensuring the heat exchange effect in each spiral air duct, and then the clothing processing equipment of the utility model can effectively improve the condensation effect of the condensation channel and the hair debris removal effect, effectively prevent hair debris from entering the mixing air duct above, and can also prevent hair debris from entering components such as fans and heaters, thereby ensuring the drying effect of the clothing processing equipment.

[0017] Furthermore, the guide structure includes a connecting guide rib and an anti-overflow guide rib. The connecting guide rib is used to receive the condensed water flowing out of the condensed water nozzle so that the condensed water flows along the connecting guide rib. The anti-overflow guide rib blocks the water flow from moving in the horizontal direction, thereby allowing the condensed water to flow within a set area between the connecting guide rib and the anti-overflow guide rib. The diversion structure is located between the connecting guide rib and the anti-overflow guide rib, and can better divert the condensed water into two streams to ensure that condensed water can flow into both spiral air ducts.

[0018] Furthermore, the receiving guide rib includes a connected arc segment and a vertical segment, and the end of the arc segment away from the vertical segment is located below the condensation water nozzle. With this arrangement, the arc segment is used to receive the water sprayed from the condensation water nozzle, which can prevent the water from splashing everywhere, and make the water flow along the extension direction of the receiving guide rib, and cooperate with the vertical segment to smoothly guide the condensation water to the set area, and under the action of the diversion structure, the condensation water is diverted into the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct, which can improve the utilization efficiency of the condensation water and improve the heat exchange condensation effect.

[0019] Furthermore, the anti-overflow and diversion ribs extend in the vertical direction, which is convenient for production and manufacturing and has a good anti-overflow and diversion effect.

[0020] Furthermore, the top surface of the anti-overflow guide rib is not lower than the top surface of the vertical section, so that the anti-overflow guide rib has a sufficiently good anti-overflow effect, thereby allowing the condensed water to flow stably in the set area.

[0021] Furthermore, the horizontal distance from the overflow prevention guide rib to the diversion structure is greater than the horizontal distance from the vertical section to the diversion structure. Since the condensate water nozzle is close to the receiving guide rib and the receiving guide rib receives and guides the condensate water, the condensate water flows closer to the receiving guide rib. As a result, the horizontal distance from the overflow prevention guide rib to the diversion structure is greater than the horizontal distance from the vertical section of the receiving guide rib to the diversion structure. When the diversion structure diverts the water, the amount of the two water flows is as equal as possible, thereby ensuring that sufficient condensate water can enter the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct.

[0022] Furthermore, the horizontal distance from the anti-overflow guide rib to the diversion structure is 3 to 5 times the horizontal distance from the vertical section to the diversion structure. With this arrangement, the diversion structure has the best diversion effect and the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct have the best heat exchange effect.

[0023] Furthermore, the horizontal distance from the vertical section to the diversion structure is 0.5 to 2 mm. Such a setting, with a distance setting of 0.5 to 2 mm, can better ensure the heat exchange effect of the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct.

[0024] Furthermore, the cross-sections of the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct are circular or elliptical, the air inlet is extended in the vertical direction, and the air inlet direction of the air inlet is the tangent direction of the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct. Such a setting method has a simple structure, is convenient for production and manufacturing, and can enable the airflow entering the air inlet to quickly form a spiral airflow.

[0025] Furthermore, the condenser shell and the outer cylinder together form a condensation channel, so that the condensation channel is integrally formed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder. The complete condensation channel can be formed by simply assembling the condenser shell onto the outer cylinder, which is convenient for production and assembly.

[0026] Furthermore, the diversion structure includes a first diversion rib and a second diversion rib. The first diversion rib is arranged on the condenser outer shell, and the second diversion rib is arranged on the outer wall of the outer cylinder. The first diversion rib and the second diversion rib jointly divide the bottom of the condensation channel into two spiral air ducts. Such an arrangement is convenient for production and assembly.

[0027] Furthermore, the air inlet is located below the second diverter rib, and the vertical center line of the air inlet coincides with the second diverter rib, so that after the airflow enters the air inlet, it is directly divided into two parts as evenly as possible under the action of the second diverter rib and enters the first spiral air duct and the second spiral air duct respectively, so as to ensure that the air intake volume of the two spiral air ducts is as similar as possible, and continues to remain separated under the action of the second diverter rib during the spiral rising process of the airflow, which can enhance the diversion effect of the airflow. In addition, the ratio of the length of the second diverter rib to the height of the air inlet is not less than 1.5, so that the spiral air duct maintains a sufficient height, thereby ensuring that hair debris can be completely separated from the airflow, and increasing the swirl time, thereby extending the heat exchange time with the condensed water as much as possible and improving the heat exchange effect.

[0048] Based on the problem pointed out in the background technology that the existing condensation channel has poor condensation effect and poor dander removal effect, which affects the drying effect of clothes.

[0049] The condensation channel of the clothing processing device of the utility model comprises a mixing duct, a first spiral duct and a second spiral duct, the mixing duct is located above the first spiral duct and the second spiral duct, the mixing duct is connected to the first spiral duct and the second spiral duct at the same time, the first spiral duct and the second spiral duct are arranged to enable the airflow entering the air inlet to spirally rise, so that the airflow forms an ascending spiral airflow in the spiral duct, and at the same time the guide structure can guide the water outlet of the condensation water nozzle, guide and divert the water into the two spiral ducts, the condensed water forms a vortex driven by the spiral airflow of the spiral duct, in the process of mixing of the air and water phases, the water is thrown onto the inner wall of the spiral duct by the centrifugal force, and then flows downward along the wall surface under the action of gravity, and can clean the hair debris on the wall surface while flowing downward, the air density is relatively small, and it moves upward in the central area of ​​the spiral duct. , achieving gas-water two-phase separation; thus, the clothing processing device of the utility model operates in the spiral air duct with the help of the swirling flow of condensed water and airflow, and heat exchange is completed between the two phases. The water vapor in the gas phase is cooled and liquefied and then flows downward with most of the water. At the same time, hair debris is also transferred from the airflow to the water flow in this process and flows downward with the water flow to complete the separation of hair debris, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of hair debris during the drying process. At the same time, the guide structure cooperates with the diversion structure to guide and divert the condensed water, which can ensure that condensed water is introduced into the two spiral air ducts, thereby effectively ensuring the heat exchange effect in each spiral air duct, and then the clothing processing device of the utility model can effectively improve the condensation effect of the condensation channel and the hair debris removal effect, effectively prevent hair debris from entering the mixing air duct above, and can also prevent hair debris from entering components such as fans and heaters, thereby ensuring the drying effect of the clothing processing device.

[0050] Specifically, the clothing processing device of the utility model includes a box body, in which an inner drum, an outer drum, a condensation channel, a drying fan, a heater and an air duct are arranged. The heater is installed in the air duct, one end of the air duct is connected to the outer drum, and the other end of the air duct is connected to the air outlet of the drying fan. The drying fan is installed between the condensation channel and the air duct.

[0051] During the drying process of the clothing processing equipment, under the action of the drying fan, the air can circulate between the outer drum, the condensation channel and the heater. Under the action of the heater, the dry air is heated into dry hot air, and then enters the outer drum and the inner drum along the air duct, exchanges heat with the wet clothes in the inner drum, and takes away the moisture in the clothes to form relatively humid hot air, and then enters the condensation channel. After the condensation effect of the condensation channel, the moisture in the relatively humid hot air is condensed into water. The condensed air becomes relatively dry cold air, and then enters the air duct, is heated by the heater into dry hot air, and enters the next cycle, and this cycle is repeated until the drying process is completed.

[0052] It should be noted that, in actual applications, an independent condenser can be set up, the condensation channel is formed inside the condenser, and the condenser is installed on the rear wall of the outer cylinder. Alternatively, the condensation channel can be jointly formed by a shell and the rear wall of the outer cylinder, and so on. The adjustment and change of the specific formation method of the condensation channel does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0053] The technical solution of the present invention is described below by taking the manner in which the condenser shell and the outer cylinder jointly enclose a condensation channel as an example.

[0054] For details, please also refer to Figures 1 to 6 The clothes processing device of the utility model comprises an outer drum 1 and a condenser shell 2 and a drying fan 3 installed on the outer drum 1 .

[0055] Among them, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the condenser shell 2 is located outside the outer tube 1, and the condenser shell 2 and the outer wall of the outer tube 1 together form a condensation channel 4. The condenser shell 2 and the outer tube 1 together form the condensation channel 4, so that the condensation channel 4 and the outer tube 1 are designed as one piece and can be processed and formed at one time, which increases the volume of the tube and also reduces the processing cost.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the condensation channel 4 is provided with an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12. The air inlet 11 is located at the bottom of the condensation channel 4 and is used to pass the hot and humid air in the outer tube 1 into the condensation channel 4 so that the hot and humid air can exchange heat with condensed water in the condensation channel 4. The air outlet 12 is located at the top of the condensation channel 4. The drying fan 3 is connected to the condensation channel 4 through the air outlet 12 so that the air after heat exchange in the condensation channel 4 enters the drying fan 3 through the air outlet 12. Specifically, the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are both provided on the outer tube 1.

[0057] Among them, Figure 1As shown, the condensation channel 4 includes a mixing air duct 41, a first spiral air duct 42 and a second spiral air duct 43. The mixing air duct 41 is located above the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43. The bottom of the mixing air duct 41 is connected to the top of the first spiral air duct 42 and the top of the second spiral air duct 43 at the same time. The first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction and separated by the diversion structure 6. The air inlet 11 is connected to the bottom of the first spiral air duct 42 and the bottom of the second spiral air duct 43 at the same time. The first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 are both configured to enable the air flow bolt entering the air inlet 11 to rise. A condensation water inlet 21 is provided on the outer wall of the condensation channel 4. Specifically, the condensation water inlet 21 is provided on the side of the condenser housing 2 away from the condensation channel 4. The condensation water inlet 21 is used to connect the water inlet pipe so as to introduce condensation water into the condensation channel 4. A condensation water nozzle 22 is provided on the inner wall of the mixing air duct 4. Specifically, the condensation water nozzle 22 is provided on the side of the condenser housing 2 close to the condensation channel 4. The condensation water nozzle 22 connects the condensation water inlet 21 with the condensation channel 4. The condensation water nozzle 22 can make the condensation water introduced by the condensation water inlet 21 flow out to the inner wall of the condensation channel 4, so that the water flows along the inner wall of the condensation channel 4. Specifically, the condensation water nozzle 22 is a rectangular nozzle with a certain length and width, so that the water flow can flow along the wall surface of the inner wall of the condensation channel 4 in as many directions as possible.

[0058] A first spiral duct 42 and a second spiral duct 43 are simultaneously arranged in the condensation channel 4. The first spiral duct 42 and the second spiral duct 43 are divided into two parts to perform heat exchange on the airflow, which can improve the heat exchange effect. The airflow enters the two spiral ducts through the air inlet 11 to form a spiral airflow and rise. At this time, the condensed water in the spiral duct is driven to form a vortex. In the process of mixing the air and water phases, the water is thrown onto the wall of the spiral duct by the centrifugal force, and then flows downward along the wall under the action of gravity to clean the hair on the wall. The density of the air is relatively small, and it moves upward in the central area of ​​the spiral duct to enter. The separation of gas and water phases is achieved, and heat exchange is completed between the two phases with the help of the swirling operation of condensed water and airflow. During the heat exchange process, the water vapor temperature in the gas phase is reduced and liquefied, and then flows downward with most of the water. At the same time, the hair debris is transferred from the airflow to the water flow in this process, and flows downward with the water flow, completing the separation of the hair debris, and then automatically cleaning the hair debris during the drying process, thereby improving the condensation effect and hair debris removal effect of the condensation channel 4, and the hair debris can be separated in the spiral air duct, effectively preventing the hair debris from entering the mixing air duct 41 above, and then preventing the hair debris from entering the fan, heater and other components.

[0059] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a guide structure 5 is further provided on the inner wall of the mixing air duct 41. Specifically, the guide structure 5 is provided on the condenser housing 2. The guide structure 5 is configured to guide the water outflow from the condensation water nozzle 22 so that the water flow is concentrated in a set area and can be divided into two water flows under the diversion effect of the diversion structure 6, and flow into the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 respectively. The guide structure 5 is provided to guide the condensation water so that the condensation water flows along the wall surface of the condensation channel 4 in a set area, and the diversion structure 6 is used to divert the condensation water, so that the condensation water can flow into the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect and dander removal effect of each spiral air duct.

[0060] The clothing processing device of the utility model realizes swirl heat exchange between humid hot air and condensed water through the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43, and can transfer hair debris in the humid hot air to the condensed water and flow down along the wall of the spiral air duct to realize the separation of hair debris, thereby better ensuring the drying effect of the clothing processing device; in addition, the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 are divided into two spiral air ducts to simultaneously exchange heat and remove hair debris, and the heat exchange efficiency is high and the hair debris separation effect is good.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, see Figures 7 to 9 The flow guide structure 5 includes a receiving flow guide rib 51 and an anti-overflow flow guide rib. The receiving flow guide rib 51 and the anti-overflow flow guide rib 52 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and the area between the receiving flow guide rib 51 and the anti-overflow flow guide rib 52 constitutes a set area. In the horizontal direction, the receiving flow guide rib 51 and the anti-overflow flow guide rib 52 are respectively located on both sides of the diversion structure 6. The receiving flow guide rib 51 is used to receive the condensed water flowing out of the condensed water nozzle 22, so that the condensed water flows along the receiving flow guide rib 51, and the anti-overflow flow guide rib 52 blocks the water flow from moving in the horizontal direction, so that the condensed water flows in the set area between the receiving flow guide rib 51 and the anti-overflow flow guide rib 52. The diversion structure 6 is located between the receiving flow guide rib 51 and the anti-overflow flow guide rib 52, which can better divert the condensed water into two streams to ensure that condensed water can flow into both spiral air ducts.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, please continue to refer to Figures 7 to 9, the receiving guide rib 51 includes a connected arc segment 511 and a vertical segment 512, the vertical segment 512 is located below the arc segment 511 and extends in the vertical direction, and the end of the arc segment 511 away from the vertical segment 512 is located below the condensate spout 22. In this preferred embodiment, the receiving guide rib 51 includes a connected arc segment 511 and a vertical segment 512, wherein the arc segment 511 is located below the condensate spout 22, and is used to receive the condensate sprayed from the condensate spout 22, to prevent the water flow from splashing everywhere under the water pressure, so that the water flow sprayed from the condensate spout 22 flows with the receiving guide rib 51, and cooperates with the vertical segment 512 to smoothly guide the condensate to the set area, and enters the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 under the action of the diversion structure 6, which can improve the utilization efficiency of the condensate and improve the heat exchange and condensation effect of the condensation channel 4.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, please continue to refer to Figures 7 to 9 The anti-overflow guiding rib 52 extends in the vertical direction, which is convenient for production and has good anti-overflow guiding effect.

[0064] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific connection method between the connecting guide rib 51 and the condenser shell 2. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can set the connection method between the connecting guide rib 51 and the condenser shell 2 according to actual needs. For example, the connecting guide rib 51 and the condenser shell 2 can be set as an integrated structure, or the connecting guide rib 51 can be fixed to the condenser shell 2 through a snap-fit ​​structure, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structure of the connecting guide rib 51 and the condenser shell 2 do not deviate from the basic principle of the present invention and should be limited within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0065] Preferably, the connecting guide rib 51 is an integral structure with the condenser housing 2. The connecting guide rib 51 is produced integrally with the condenser housing 2 at the same time, which is low in cost. For example, the condenser housing 2 and the connecting guide rib 51 are made of plastic and are integrally prepared by injection molding.

[0066] It should also be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific connection method between the anti-overflow guide rib 52 and the condenser housing 2. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can set the connection method between the anti-overflow guide rib 52 and the condenser housing 2 according to actual needs. For example, the anti-overflow guide rib 52 and the condenser housing 2 can be set as an integrated structure, or the anti-overflow guide rib 52 can be fixed to the condenser housing 2 through a snap-fit ​​structure, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structure of the anti-overflow guide rib 52 and the condenser housing 2 do not deviate from the basic principles of the present invention and should be limited within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] Preferably, the anti-overflow guide rib 52 is an integral structure with the condenser housing 2. When the condenser housing 2 is produced, the anti-overflow guide rib 52 is produced integrally at the same time, which is low in cost. For example, the condenser housing 2 and the anti-overflow guide rib 52 are made of plastic and are integrally prepared by injection molding.

[0068] Preferably, the top surface of the overflow-proof guiding rib 52 is not lower than the top surface of the vertical section 512 connected to the guiding rib 51. Such a setting makes the overflow-proof guiding rib 52 have a sufficiently good overflow-proof effect, so that the condensed water can flow stably in the set area.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 8 , the horizontal distance from the anti-overflow guide rib 52 to the diversion structure 6 is greater than the horizontal distance from the vertical section 512 to the diversion structure 6. In this arrangement, since the condensate water nozzle 23 is close to the receiving guide rib 51, and the receiving guide rib 51 receives and guides the condensate water, the condensate water flows closer to the receiving guide rib 51, so that the horizontal distance from the anti-overflow guide rib 52 to the diversion structure 6 is greater than the horizontal distance from the vertical section 512 of the receiving guide rib 51 to the diversion structure 6, so that when the diversion structure 6 diverts the water, the amount of the two water flows is as equal as possible, thereby ensuring that sufficient condensate water can enter both the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the horizontal distance from the anti-overflow guide rib 52 to the diverter structure 6 is 3 to 5 times the horizontal distance from the vertical section 512 to the diverter structure 6. With this arrangement, the diverter structure 6 has the best diverter effect, and the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 have the best heat exchange effect.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 8 The horizontal distance from the vertical section 512 of the guide rib 51 to the flow dividing structure 6 is 0.5-2 mm. The distance of 0.5-2 mm can better ensure the heat exchange effect of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43.

[0072] It should be noted that, although the guide structure 5 is configured to connect the guide ribs 51 and the anti-overflow guide ribs 52 in the above preferred embodiment, this does not limit the protection scope of the utility model. In practical applications, those skilled in the art may also configure the guide structure 5 to other structures, for example, configure the guide structure 5 to be a plurality of guide grooves, or configure the guide structure 5 to be a structure in which the guide grooves and the guide plates are matched, as long as the guide structure 5 can guide the condensed water and can make the water flow into the first spiral duct 42 and the second spiral duct 43 under the diversion effect of the diversion structure 6. Adjustments and changes to the specific structure of the guide structure 5 do not deviate from the basic principles of the utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0073] Of course, it is still preferred to set the guide structure 5 as the above-mentioned connecting guide ribs 51 and anti-overflow guide ribs 52. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture. The guide ribs have a better guide effect than the guide grooves, and there are no dead corners, so condensed water will not accumulate and cause waste of condensed water.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 4 The flow-dividing structure 6 includes a first flow-dividing rib 61 and a second flow-dividing rib 62. The first flow-dividing rib 61 is arranged on the condenser housing 2, and the second flow-dividing rib 62 is arranged on the outer wall of the outer tube 1. The first flow-dividing rib 61 and the second flow-dividing rib 62 are arranged opposite to each other, and together separate the bottom of the condensation channel 4 into a first spiral air duct 42 and a second spiral air duct 43. In the horizontal direction, the first flow-dividing rib 61 is located between the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43, so that the water flow flowing in the set area can be divided into two streams, and flow into the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 respectively. The flow-dividing structure 6 is arranged as the first flow-dividing rib 61 and the second flow-dividing rib 62, and the first flow-dividing rib 61 and the second flow-dividing rib 62 are respectively located on the condenser housing 2 and the outer tube 1. Such an arrangement is convenient for production, manufacturing, assembly and use.

[0075] In one embodiment, the first diverter rib 61 is an integral structure with the condenser housing 2. The first diverter rib 61 is integrally provided with the condenser housing 2, which is convenient for production and manufacturing and has low cost.

[0076] In one embodiment, the second flow dividing rib 62 is an integral structure with the outer tube 1. The second flow dividing rib 62 is integrally arranged with the outer tube 1, which is convenient for production and manufacturing and has low cost.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first spiral air duct 42 is the same as that of the second spiral air duct 43, the air inlet 11 is located below the second diverter rib 62, the vertical center line of the air inlet 11 coincides with the second diverter rib 62, and the ratio of the length of the second diverter rib 62 to the height of the air inlet 11 is not less than 1.5. The air inlet 11 is located below the second diverter rib 62, and the vertical center line of the air inlet 11 coincides with the second diverter rib 62, so that after the airflow enters the air inlet 11, it is directly divided into two parts under the action of the second diverter rib 62, and enters the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 respectively, so as to ensure that the air intake volume of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 is as similar as possible, and continues to maintain separation under the action of the second diverter rib 62 during the spiral rising process of the airflow, which can enhance the diversion effect of the airflow. In addition, the length of the second diverter rib 62 is at least 1.5 times the height of the air inlet 11, so that the height of the spiral air duct is higher than the height of the air inlet 11, so that the spiral air duct maintains a sufficient height, thereby ensuring that the hair can be completely separated from the airflow, and increasing the swirl time, extending the heat exchange time between the airflow and the condensed water, and improving the heat exchange effect.

[0078] In a further preferred embodiment, the ratio of the length of the second diverter rib 62 to the height of the air inlet 11 is not greater than 3. Avoiding the condensation channel 4 from being too large due to a long spiral air duct helps to reduce the volume of the condensation channel 4 and facilitates production and use.

[0079] Preferably, the cross-sections of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 are circular or elliptical, the air inlet 11 is extended in the vertical direction, and the air inlet direction of the air inlet 11 is the tangent direction of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 .

[0080] The cross-section of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 is set to be circular or elliptical, the air inlet 11 is extended in the vertical direction, and the air inlet direction of the air inlet 11 is the tangent direction of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43. Such a setting method has a simple structure, is convenient for production and manufacturing, and can enable the airflow entering the air inlet 11 to quickly form a spiral airflow.

[0081] In one embodiment, the cross-sections of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 are both circular, and the areas of the cross-sections of the two are the same.

[0082] In another embodiment, the cross-sections of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 are both elliptical, and the areas of the cross-sections of the two are the same.

[0083] In yet another embodiment, the cross-sections of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 are circular and elliptical, respectively.

[0084] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the shapes of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43, as long as the spiral air duct can make the incoming airflow form a spiral upward airflow. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can set the specific shapes of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 according to actual needs. Adjustments and changes to the specific shapes of the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 do not deviate from the basic principles of the present invention and should be limited within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0085] Of course, it is preferred to set the first spiral air duct 42 and the second spiral air duct 43 to have the same shape and size, which is more convenient for production.

[0086] In addition, it should be noted that the present invention does not make any settings for the specific connection method between the condenser shell 2 and the outer tube 1. As long as the condensation channel 4 can be formed after the condenser shell 2 and the outer tube 1 are assembled, in actual applications, technical personnel in this field can set the connection method between the condenser shell 2 and the outer tube 1 according to actual needs.

[0087] In one embodiment, the condenser housing 2 is detachably connected to the outer cylinder 1 by screws.

[0088] In another embodiment, the condenser housing 2 and the outer cylinder 1 are fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0089] In another embodiment, the condenser housing 2 and the outer cylinder 1 are fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure and are locked by screws.

[0090] In one embodiment, see Figure 7 The inner wall of the condensation channel 4 is also provided with a flushing water nozzle 23 connected to the condensation water inlet 21, and the flushing water nozzle 23 and the condensation water nozzle 22 are spaced apart along the central axis of the water inlet. Specifically, the flushing water nozzle 23 is arranged on one side of the condenser housing 2 close to the condensation channel 4.

[0091] A flushing water nozzle 23 is provided on the inner wall of the condensation channel 4, which can pass a large flow of flushing water into the condensation water inlet 21. The flushing water is sprayed out from the condensation water nozzle 22 and the flushing water nozzle 23 to flush the wall surface of the inner wall of the condensation channel 4. The flushing water flows out of the condensation channel 4 along the air inlet 11, so as to flush and discharge the hair debris remaining on the wall surface of the inner wall of the condensation channel 4, avoid the accumulation of hair debris in the condensation channel 4, and keep the inner wall of the condensation channel 4 clean.

[0092] In another embodiment, see Fig. 9, a flushing water inlet 24 is also provided on the outer wall of the condensing channel 4, and a first flushing water nozzle 25 and a first flushing water nozzle 26 connected to the flushing water inlet 24 are also provided on the inner wall of the condensing channel 4, and the first flushing water nozzle 25 and the first flushing water nozzle 26 are spaced apart along the axis of the flushing water inlet 24, and the first flushing water nozzle 25 and the first flushing water nozzle 26 are located in the mixing air duct 41 and are arranged close to the air outlet 12, and the first flushing water nozzle 25 and the first flushing water nozzle 26 connect the flushing water inlet 24 with the condensing channel 4. Specifically, the flushing water inlet 24 is arranged on the side of the condenser housing 2 away from the condensing channel 4, and the first flushing water nozzle 25 and the second flushing water nozzle 26 are arranged on the side of the condenser housing 2 close to the condensing channel 4.

[0093] By providing a flushing water inlet 24, a first flushing water nozzle 25 and a first flushing water nozzle 26, a large flow of flushing water can be introduced into the flushing water inlet 24, and the flushing water is sprayed into the condensation channel 4 by the first flushing water nozzle 25 and the first flushing water nozzle 26. A large amount of flushing water flows along the inner wall of the condensation channel 4, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the condensation channel 4. The flushing water flows out of the condensation channel 4 along the air inlet 11, and can flush and discharge the hair debris remaining on the wall surface of the condensation channel 4, thereby avoiding the accumulation of hair debris in the condensation channel 4 and keeping the wall surface of the condensation channel 4 clean.

[0094] Preferably, see Fig. 9 The flushing water inlet 24 is located above the condensation water inlet 21. This arrangement allows the flushing water to flush a larger area of ​​the inner wall surface of the condensation channel 4, thereby improving the flushing effect.
