DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments:

[0027] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

When the utility model is used, the hot air gradually enters the exhaust duct from the washing tub along the predetermined air path with the water vapor on the clothes, and gradually enters the pipe 1. The first cooling component 2 is started to blow air to the outside of the pipe 1 to perform heat exchange, so that part of the water vapor mixture is condensed, and the water vapor mixture and condensed water gradually move toward the first connecting seat 32 and enter the condensation barrel 34. The driving component 36 is started. After the driving component 36 is started, the condensation barrel 34 is driven to rotate. When the condensation barrel 34 rotates, the water collection component 35 located in the water collection chamber 341 contacts the remaining water vapor mixture and causes the water vapor mixture to further condense. Due to the centrifugal force of the condensation barrel 34 and the gravity of the condensed water itself, the condensed water moves along the inner wall of the water collecting chamber 341 until it is discharged outward from the water outlet 332. Therefore, there is no need to set a water collecting box on the washing machine body, and the user does not need to pour out the condensed water.
