[0025] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a clothes dryer with a double-chamber structure includes a cabinet 1, and a left chamber 2 and a right chamber 3 are arranged in the cabinet 1. The left chamber has a left door assembly 101. The left chamber has a right door assembly 102. An exhaust passage 4 is arranged between the left chamber 1 and the right chamber 2. A left air inlet 21 is arranged at the top of the left chamber 2, and the left chamber 2 is connected to the outside world through the left air inlet 21. A right air inlet 31 is arranged at the top of the right chamber 3, and the right chamber 2 is connected to the outside world through the right air inlet. A left air outlet 22 is arranged at the bottom of the left chamber 2, and the left air outlet 21 is connected to the bottom end of the exhaust passage 4. A right air outlet 32 ​​is arranged at the bottom of the right chamber 3, and the right air outlet 32 ​​is connected to the bottom end of the exhaust passage 4. An exhaust port 5 is arranged at the top of the cabinet, and the exhaust port 5 is connected to the top end of the exhaust passage 4. A left heater 6 and a left fan 61 blowing toward the left heater are arranged at the position corresponding to the left air inlet 21. A right heater 7 and a right fan 71 blowing toward the right heater are provided at the position corresponding to the right air inlet 31. For design needs, a left PCT heating assembly and a right PCT heating assembly with fans can be used. In this case, the left heater is the heater in the left PCT heating assembly 600, and the left fan is the fan in the left PCT heating assembly. The right heater is the heater in the right PCT heating assembly 700, and the right fan is the fan in the right PCT heating assembly.

[0027] Working principle: When working, the fan works, sucking air from the air inlet at the top, the heater heats the air, and under the pressure of the air, the hot air is forced to blow down from the top and then flow outward and downward, and the clothes in the box (left or right room) are dried. The hot and humid air continues to flow down through the left and right air outlets into the exhaust channel, and then is discharged from the top exhaust port to the outside of the box (cabinet). Finally, the clothes in the cabinet are dried to achieve a quick drying effect. After repeated tests, the actual drying efficiency is higher than that of the traditional structure. Because the hot air flows through the exhaust channel, these hot air flows have heat, and the heat will be returned to the left or right room through the cabinet accordingly, which can help to increase the temperature of the left or right room and save energy. The heater is arranged at the top to prevent water droplets from falling on the surface of the heater, affecting the life of the heater and avoiding leakage faults. Forced water vapor to enter from the bottom of the exhaust channel and be discharged from the top, the drying efficiency of clothes is high.

[0028] Embodiment 2: The characteristics of this embodiment are that the improvement measures are as follows: the left air outlet 22 is located on the side plate of the left chamber closest to the right chamber. The right air outlet 32 ​​is located on the side plate of the right chamber closest to the left chamber. The rest can be the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0029] Embodiment 3: The characteristic of this embodiment is that at least a part of the side plate 23 of the left chamber closest to the right chamber is a part of the channel wall in the exhaust channel 4. Of course, the whole side plate 23 can also be a part of the channel wall in the exhaust channel.

[0030] At least a portion of the side plate 33 of the right chamber closest to the left chamber is a portion of the channel wall in the exhaust channel 4. Of course, the entire side plate 33 can also be a portion of the channel wall in the exhaust channel 4. The structure is simple and compact, which is conducive to saving materials and utilizing waste heat. The rest can be the same as embodiment 1 or embodiment 2.

[0031] Embodiment 4: The characteristic of this embodiment is that the side panel 23 of the left chamber closest to the right chamber is made of metal material, and the side panel 33 of the right chamber closest to the left chamber is made of metal material. It is more conducive to the heat conduction and waste heat utilization between the exhaust passage and the left and right chambers. Of course, the entire left and right chambers can be made of sheet metal materials. Forced hot air blows down from the top and then flows downward and heats the clothes in the cabinet. The hot and humid air continues to flow downward into the exhaust passage and then is discharged from the top exhaust port to the outside of the cabinet, and finally dries the clothes in the box (cabinet) to achieve a quick drying effect. After testing, the actual drying efficiency is 15 to 20% higher than that of the traditional structure.

[0032] The rest is the same as in Example 3.

[0033] Embodiment 5: The characteristics of this embodiment are that a steam tray 8 and a steam water tank 9 are arranged at the bottom of the left chamber. The left and right chambers can be controlled independently. When in use, the left chamber can be used for steam care, and the other chamber can be used for drying clothes. At the same time, it realizes multi-functions. It is convenient to use and convenient for customers to use. The rest can be respectively the same as the above embodiments.
