Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air-conditioning heat pump drying, and in particular relates to a closed balcony drying air-conditioning outdoor unit. Background Art
[0002] In the hot and humid summer, clothes are not easy to dry after washing. Currently, washing machines use electric drying and heat pump drying, but the product cost is high and the power consumption is also high. Summary of the invention
[0003] The utility model aims to provide a closed balcony drying air-conditioning outdoor unit which is low in cost, low in power consumption, simple and practical.
[0004] The solution of the utility model is: an enclosed balcony drying air-conditioning outdoor unit, which comprises a condenser, an exhaust fan, an exhaust outlet, a drying fan, a drying air outlet, an air inlet door, and a shell. The utility model is characterized in that the condenser, the exhaust fan, the exhaust outlet, the drying fan, the drying air outlet, and the air inlet door are installed in the shell to become an air-conditioning outdoor unit, which is installed on the outside or inside of the balcony, the exhaust fan is installed in front of the condenser and exhausts air to the outside through the exhaust outlet, the drying fan is installed behind the condenser and is connected with the space inside the balcony and exhausts air to the balcony through the drying air outlet, and the air inlet door is installed on the shell on both sides of the rear of the condenser.
[0005] When the closed balcony is not used to dry clothes, the exhaust fan is started, the air inlet door is opened, and the outdoor air enters the condenser to exchange heat with the refrigerant, and then is discharged outward through the exhaust port by the exhaust fan. The air conditioning unit can cool or heat.
[0006] When clothes are hung out to dry on a closed balcony, the indoor unit of the air conditioner unit cools and the outdoor unit dissipates heat. The exhaust fan does not start, the air inlet door is closed, and the drying fan starts. The outdoor air enters the shell from the exhaust port, exchanges heat with the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant on the surface of the condenser, and the air is heated. Then, it is blown to the inside of the balcony through the drying air outlet by the drying fan, making the closed balcony an oven. The clothes are dried by evaporation under the heat of the high-temperature air, and the high-temperature and humid air is discharged to the outside through an open window of the closed balcony. In this way, the clothes are dried by being continuously heated by the hot air. While the indoor air conditioner is cooling, the condensation heat of the refrigerant in the outdoor unit is fully utilized. In winter or cold seasons, the indoor air conditioner needs to be heated, and the outdoor unit condenser is converted into an evaporator. At this time, the outdoor humid air is cooled and dehumidified by the condenser to become dry air. It is blown to the inside of the balcony through the drying air outlet by the drying fan, and the moisture is exchanged with the humid clothes to be dried. In this way, the problem of drying clothes on the balcony in all seasons is solved by using high-temperature drying and low-temperature dehumidification methods. The waste heat and cold of the heat pump are fully utilized to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. The method is simple and low-cost.
[0007] Not limited to the above method, there are various methods of drying clothes using the condensation heat of refrigerant in the embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The waste heat and cold of the heat pump are fully utilized to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. The method is simple, effective and low-cost.
[0029] Figure 8In the invention, an outdoor unit of a closed balcony drying air conditioner comprises a housing 1, an exhaust fan 2, a condenser 3, an exhaust port 10, a drying port 7, and a drying fan 13. The exhaust fan 2, the drying fan 13, and the condenser 3 are installed in the housing 1, the exhaust fan 2 is installed in front of the condenser 3, and exhausts air outward through the exhaust port 10 on the housing 1, the drying port 7 is installed behind the condenser 3, and is connected with the space inside the balcony, a drying fan 13 is installed at the drying port 7, and hot air is exhausted into the balcony through the drying port 7, the exhaust port 10 and the drying port 7 are connected with each other in the housing 1, and the outdoor unit is installed on a bracket 8 and fixed on the outer wall or inner side of the balcony. The condenser 3 can be changed from an "L" shape to an "I" shape to prevent air leakage from the side.
[0030] When the closed balcony is not used to dry clothes, the exhaust fan 2 is started and the drying fan 13 is not started. Outdoor air enters the balcony from the closed balcony window, enters the shell 1 from the drying air outlet 7, exchanges heat with the refrigerant on the surface of the condenser 3, and is then discharged to the outside through the exhaust outlet 10 by the exhaust fan 2. The air conditioning unit can cool or heat.
[0031] When the clothes are hung out to dry on the closed balcony, the indoor unit of the air conditioner unit cools down, the outdoor unit dissipates heat, the exhaust fan 2 is not started, and the drying fan 13 is started. The outdoor air enters the housing from the exhaust port 10, exchanges heat with the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant on the surface of the condenser 3, and the air is heated. Then, the drying fan 13 is blown to the inside of the balcony through the drying air outlet 7. The clothes hung out to dry evaporate and are dried under the heating of the high-temperature air. The high-temperature and humid air is finally discharged from the window of the balcony. In this way, the clothes hung out to dry are dried by being continuously heated by the hot air. While the air conditioner is cooling, the condensation heat of the refrigerant is fully utilized. In winter or cold seasons, air conditioning heating is needed indoors, and the outdoor unit condenser 3 is converted into an evaporator. At this time, the outdoor humid air is cooled and dehumidified by the condenser 3 to become dry air. The drying fan 13 is blown to the inside of the balcony through the drying air outlet 7, and the humid clothes hung out to dry are exchanged with the humid clothes, and the humid air evaporates and is blown dry. In this way, the problem of drying clothes on the balcony in all seasons is solved by using high-temperature drying and low-temperature dehumidification methods.
