Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a condenser and a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, clothing processing equipment such as dryers and washer-dryers with the function of drying clothes have gradually entered households.

[0003] The drying principle of clothing processing equipment is generally as follows: the air is heated by a group of heating elements, and the heated air is brought into the drum by the fan. After the clothes in the drum are heated, the moisture on the clothes evaporates into humid hot air, and the humid hot air is sucked into the condenser by the fan. In the condenser, the humid hot air is condensed after direct or indirect contact with the cooling medium, and becomes condensed water and flows out along the inner wall of the condenser, and the dried gas is heated by the heating element and enters the drum. This cycle is repeated to achieve the purpose of drying clothes.

[0004] During the drying process, the lint from the clothes will follow the circulating air from the inner drum into the condenser and accumulate in the condenser. As the drying cycle increases, the lint will gradually accumulate in various parts of the condenser. The accumulation of lint will block the exchange of circulating air, increase wind resistance, reduce circulating air volume, reduce drying performance, and even cause machine failure.

[0005] In order to avoid the above situation, some manufacturers add a filtering structure to the condenser to solve the problem of wire scrap accumulation. However, when the filtering structure needs to be cleaned or replaced, the condenser needs to be disassembled as a whole to remove the filtering structure, which is very inconvenient.

[0043] The condenser 110 provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured such that a filter structure 20 is disposed in the inner cavity 12 of the condenser body 10, and a sliding connection is provided between the filter structure 20 and the condenser body 10. Since the filter structure 20 can slide in and out of the first opening 131 of the first end 13 of the condenser body 10, when the filter structure 20 needs to be cleaned or replaced, the filter structure 20 can be pulled out from the first opening 131. After the filter structure 20 is cleaned or replaced, the filter structure 20 can be reinstalled into the condenser 110 from the first opening 131. The operation is convenient without the need to disassemble the condenser 110 as a whole, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] Exemplarily, a connection between the top plate 23 and the first side plate 21 is arc-shaped, and a connection between the top plate 23 and the second side plate 22 is arc-shaped.

[0048] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The filtering structure 20 further includes a clamping portion 25 connected to the top plate 23 , and the clamping portion 25 is disposed on a side of the top plate 23 away from the first side plate 21 and the second side plate 22 .

[0049] It is understandable that when the user needs to clean or replace the filter structure 20, the user can hold the clamping part 25 by hand to pull the filter structure 20 out of the condenser body 10. After cleaning or replacing the filter structure 20, the user can hold the clamping part 25 by hand to reinstall the filter structure 20 into the condenser body 10.

[0050] Exemplarily, the filter structure 20 can be integrally formed, that is, the first side plate 21, the second side plate 22, the top plate 23, the filter screen assembly 24 and the clamping portion 25 can be integrally formed. In some embodiments, the filter structure 20 can be prepared by an injection molding process.

In addition, the first filter 241, the second filter 242 and the top plate 23 are arranged in sequence.

[0052] It is understandable that by configuring the filter assembly 24 to include a first filter 241 and a second filter 242, two layers of filters can be used to collect lint generated by the clothing processing device 100 during the drying process, thereby improving the lint collection function of the filter structure 20.

[0053] Exemplarily, two sides of the first filter screen 241 are respectively connected to one end of the first side plate 21 away from the top plate 23 and one end of the second side plate 22 away from the top plate 23 .

[0054] See also Figure 1 There is also a flushing water spray device 30 in the inner cavity 12 of the condenser body 10, and the flushing water spray device 30 is connected to the condenser body 10, and the flushing water spray device 30 is arranged on the side of the filter assembly 24 away from the top plate 23.

[0055] Exemplarily, the water output of the flushing water spray device 30 is 8 L / min to 10 L / min.

[0056] It is understandable that by arranging a flushing water spray device 30 near (above) the filter assembly 24, the filter assembly 24 can be flushed with flushing water sprayed by the flushing water spray device 30 to flush away clothing hair accumulated in the filter assembly 24 during the drying process.

[0057] For example, the flushing water spray device 30 can be controlled by software to automatically start at a fixed time to flush the filter assembly 24 to replace manual cleaning.

[0058] See also Figure 1 The flushing water spraying device 30 includes a first tube body and a plurality of first water outlet holes arranged on the first tube body.

[0059] See also Figure 1 The condenser body 10 is provided with a dry air outlet 16 , and the dry air outlet 16 is communicated with the inner cavity 12 of the condenser 110 .

[0061] Exemplarily, the water output of the condensed water spraying device 40 is 2L / min to 3L / min, and the sprayed condensed water is used to perform heat exchange with the humid hot air to dry the humid hot air.

[0062] It can be understood that when the humid hot air enters the inner cavity 12 of the condenser body 10 from the humid hot air inlet, it exchanges heat with the condensed water that enters the inner cavity 12 through the condensed water spraying device 40. The humid hot air is condensed into liquid water through heat release and is discharged from the inner cavity 12 of the condenser body 10 together with the condensed water. At the same time, the humid hot air becomes dry air and is discharged from the dry air outlet 16, thus completing the heat exchange process.

[0063] See also Figure 1 The second end 14 of the condenser body 10 is provided with the dry air outlet 16 .

[0064] See also Figure 1 The condensate spraying device 40 includes a second tube body and a plurality of second water outlet holes arranged on the second tube body.

[0065] Exemplarily, the condensed water spraying device 40 is disposed between the drying air outlet 16 and the flushing water spraying device 30 .

[0074] It is understandable that when the filter structure 20 is in an abnormal state or is clogged after long-term use, the cover plate can be opened and the filter structure 20 can be taken out from the access port 125. After cleaning or replacing the filter structure 20, the filter structure 20 can be reinstalled from the access port 125 into the condenser 110, which is easy to operate.

[0075] See also Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The laundry processing apparatus 100 further includes a drum 140, wherein the drum 140 includes a bottom and a side wall connected to each other, and the condenser 110 is disposed on an outer surface of the side wall and connected to the side wall.

[0076] It is understandable that only a single drum may be provided in the laundry processing apparatus 100 , or an inner drum may be further provided in the laundry processing apparatus 100 , and the inner drum may be provided on the inner side of the drum 140 .

[0077] It can be understood that the outer surface of the side wall of the drum 140 and the condenser body 10 together enclose the inner cavity 12 of the condenser body 10 .
