[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides a washer-dryer to solve the problem of cleaning the lint in the door seal groove. The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1As shown, the washer-dryer comprises a door seal 1 and a condensed water conveying mechanism 3. A nozzle 11 is provided at the door seal 1. The condensed water conveying mechanism 3 is configured to convey the condensed water of the washer-dryer to the nozzle 11 to clean the door seal 1. Here, the condensed water of the washer-dryer refers to the condensed water generated by the hot air discharged from the washer-dryer when drying clothes and passing through the evaporator 7 configured therein to cool down. In the past, such condensed water was directly discharged. In this embodiment, the condensed water is reused by the condensed water conveying mechanism 3, and the door seal 1 is flushed with water flow to solve the problem of cleaning the fluff in the door seal 1.

[0032] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the condensate conveying mechanism 3 includes a water storage box 31, a primary pipe 32, a shunt structure 33 and a plurality of secondary pipes 34. The water storage box 31 is used to collect condensate. The shunt structure 33 has an input end and a plurality of output ends. The primary pipe 32 is connected between the input end and the water storage box 31. Each output end is respectively connected to a secondary pipe 34. A plurality of nozzles 11 are provided and are connected one by one with the plurality of secondary pipes 34. In this way, the condensate is introduced into the nozzle 11 at any position on the door seal 1 through a pipeline, and a plurality of nozzles 11 are provided to take care of various positions on the door seal 1, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the door seal 1. According to the number of diodes, the shunt structure 33 can adopt a common three-way pipe or a four-way pipe, etc.

[0033] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the condensate water delivery mechanism 3 also includes a water pump 35, which is arranged in the water storage box 31 to deliver the condensate water to the nozzle 11 through the primary pipe 32, the diversion structure 33 and the plurality of secondary pipes 34. The delivery pressure of the condensate water is increased by the water pump 35, the ejection speed of the condensate water at the nozzle 11 is increased, the cleaning effect on the door seal 1 is enhanced, and the water flow is pumped to a high place at the same time, so that the nozzle 11 can be more flexibly set at different heights and positions, and the door seal 1 can be cleaned more comprehensively.

[0034] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple nozzles 11 are arranged in sequence along the annular direction of the door seal 1. Here, two nozzles 11 can be provided and symmetrically arranged in the horizontal direction. The two nozzles 11 are close to the upper end of the door seal 1 to form a water flow with greater potential energy to wash away the residual fluff impurities. Therefore, different nozzles 11 can spray condensed water in different directions to wash different parts of the door seal 1.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the inner wall of the door seal 1 has a groove 12 arranged along the circumferential direction, and the door seal 1 has a drain port 13 connected to the groove 12, and the drain port 13 is connected to the lowest point in the longitudinal direction of the groove 12. In this way, the fluff gathered at the bottom of the groove 12 due to gravity can be quickly discharged.

[0036] The washer-dryer also includes a drainage member 4, which is used to drain the laundry wastewater of the washer-dryer, and the drainage member 4 is connected to the sewage outlet 13. The existing drainage member 4 is used to drain the fluff, and no new pipeline is needed.

[0037] Furthermore, two nozzles 11 are provided and are symmetrically arranged in the horizontal direction. The two nozzles 11 are close to the upper end of the door seal 1. The extension lines of the center lines of the two nozzles 11 point to the groove 12 and are located on both sides of the drain outlet 13, so as to facilitate flushing the fluff retained in the groove 12 from the drain outlet 13.

[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the washer-dryer also includes a drum 2, which includes an outer barrel 21 and an inner barrel 22, the inner barrel 22 is rotatably connected to the outer barrel 21, the inner barrel 22 has a water outlet connecting the inside and the outside, the outer barrel 21 and the inner barrel 22 are connected to the drainage member 4, and the outer barrel 21 and the inner barrel 22 are connected to the sewage outlet 13. In this way, the fluff discharged from the sewage outlet 13 enters the drainage member 4 through the space between the outer barrel 21 and the inner barrel 22, and cannot flow into the inner barrel 22, thereby avoiding secondary contamination of the clothes in the drum 2.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the drainage member 4 includes a drainage pipe and a drainage pump, one end of the drainage pipe is located at the lowest position in the longitudinal direction of the drum 2 and is connected to the outer tub 21 and the inner tub 22, and the other end of the drainage pipe is connected to the drainage pump, which is used to drain the sewage and impurities between the outer tub 21 and the inner tub 22. In this way, the residual sewage and impurities in the outer tub 21 and the inner tub 22 are reduced.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the door seal 1 has a baffle 14 located in the sewage outlet 13, and a plurality of baffles 14 are arranged at intervals. Here, the plurality of baffles 14 can be arranged side by side and at intervals in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, or can be arranged in the horizontal direction or the longitudinal direction to form a cross-net structure, or can be arranged in multiple rows in the direction of the door seal 1 pointing to the drum 2. The plurality of baffles 14 block some larger impurities to avoid affecting other functions.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the door seal 1 is provided with an avoidance groove 15, the avoidance groove 15 is close to the notch of the groove 12, and the avoidance groove 15 penetrates the groove wall of the groove 12 directly facing the sewage outlet 13. Here, the width of the avoidance groove 15 can be gradually widened in the direction close to the groove 12. In order to facilitate manual cleaning of some impurities blocked by the blocking bar 14, the avoidance groove 15 is used to expand the space for accommodating cleaning tools or cleaning personnel's hands, making it easier for them to reach into the groove 12 for cleaning.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the washer-dryer also includes a base 5, a condenser 6 and an evaporator 7. The base 5 has an installation cavity 51, and the condenser 6 and the evaporator 7 are arranged in the installation cavity 51. Here, the evaporator 7 is used to cool down the hot air discharged from the washer-dryer when drying clothes. Since this hot air takes away the water vapor on the clothes, it has a large humidity, so the evaporator 7 will produce more condensed water when cooling it. The condenser 6 is used to heat up the wind cooled by the evaporator 7, thereby generating hot air for drying clothes.

[0043] In some examples, the water storage box 31 has a water storage chamber 311, which is connected to the installation chamber 51. The bottom of the installation chamber 51 is provided with a first table 511 and a second table 512 lower than the first table 511. The second table 512 extends horizontally to the bottom of the water storage chamber 311, and the first table 511 supports the condenser 6 and the evaporator 7. Here, the second table 512 extends horizontally to the bottom of the water storage chamber 311, which means that there is no height difference between the second table 512 and the bottom of the water storage chamber 311, that is, the bottom of the water storage chamber 311 is lower than the first table 511, and the condensed water flowing from the evaporator 7 to the first table 511 can actively flow into the water storage chamber 311 for storage. The first table 511 and the second table 512 can be horizontal, inclined, or undulating, preferably horizontal.

[0044] Furthermore, a slope is provided at the bottom of the installation cavity 51, and an angle is formed between the first table 511 and the second table 512 and the slope, and the highest point of the slope extends horizontally to the first table 511, and the lowest point of the slope extends horizontally to the second table 512. The slope can guide the condensed water on the first table 511 to flow quickly to the second table 512, thereby improving the retention phenomenon caused by the surface tension of the water on the first table 511.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 8As shown, the first table 511 is provided with a plurality of spaced support bars 513 to support the bottom of the condenser 6 and the evaporator 7. Here, the plurality of support bars 513 may be spaced side by side in different directions or in the same direction, or may be staggered; when the plurality of support bars 513 are spaced side by side in the same direction, the two ends of the support bars 513 may maintain a distance from the inner wall of the installation cavity 51, so that the condensed water contained between adjacent support bars 513 can flow away. The support bars 513 create a distance between the bottom of the evaporator 7 and the condenser 6 and the first table 511, thereby preventing more condensed water from directly contacting the evaporator 7 and the condenser 6 and affecting their functions, and at the same time accelerating the dripping speed of the droplets generated on the evaporator 7 so that they can quickly flow into the water storage cavity 311.
