Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dehumidifiers, in particular to a dehumidifying clothes dryer. Background Art

[0002] The statements herein merely provide background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] A dehumidifier is a device used to regulate the humidity of the air. It can not only use the cooling capacity of the evaporator to cool and dehumidify the air, but also use the heat released by the condenser to heat the air with reduced moisture content. It is widely used in various dehumidification occasions and can meet the functional needs of basic life. However, some special scenarios and special living environments still need to be improved or enhanced.

[0004] For example, during the "plum rain season" in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the "return of the south wind" in Guangdong, homes are filled with humidity, making it impossible for laundry to dry. This prolonged dampness can easily lead to odor, mildew, and wrinkles. Existing dehumidifiers are nearly incapable of drying clothes in these situations, failing to quickly dry them or maintain a dry environment in the closet. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a dehumidifying clothes dryer which can dry clothes quickly and keep the cloakroom dry for a long time.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: a dehumidifying dryer includes a shell, and a compressor, evaporator, condenser, fan and heater arranged in the shell. The shell is also provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air to be dehumidified enters the shell from the air inlet driven by the fan and passes through the evaporator, condenser and heater in sequence, and then is discharged from the shell from the air outlet.

[0007] Furthermore, the dehumidifying dryer is installed in a drying room or a cloakroom in a ceiling-mounted manner, and the air inlet and the air outlet are arranged at the bottom of the shell.

[0008] Furthermore, a water collecting chamber is provided at the bottom of the evaporator, and a drain pipe is connected to one side of the water collecting chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, the compressor and the fan are located between the evaporator and the condenser.

[0010] Furthermore, the condenser and the heater are arranged in the shell at an angle along the flow direction of the airflow, and are in contact with the gas in the shell in an inclined posture.

[0011] Furthermore, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp is provided in the shell, and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp is located between the evaporator and the condenser.

[0012] Furthermore, an aromatherapy box is provided between the condenser and the air outlet.

[0013] Furthermore, an electric heating plate is provided at the bottom of the aromatherapy box.

[0014] Furthermore, a filter is provided at the air inlet.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] According to the present invention, when drying clothes, the heater is started, and the air in the drying room enters the housing from the air inlet, passes through the evaporator and condenser, and then passes through the heater again to be heated by the heater, and then returns to the room, thereby increasing the temperature inside the drying room and achieving the purpose of drying clothes quickly. When dehumidifying, there is no need to start the heater. The indoor air enters the housing from the air inlet, passes through the evaporator for dehumidification, and then passes through the condenser for heating and returns to the room to maintain a dry environment for a long time. It can also ensure that the output air is always in a certain temperature range, achieving a constant temperature dehumidification effect. At the same time, the drying or dehumidified air can be sterilized by an ultraviolet sterilization lamp, and then the sterilized air flows through the clothes to be dried to achieve the sterilization effect on the clothes. In addition, the setting of the aromatherapy box enables this application to have an "air premium" mode, which can add fragrance to the air or clothes and improve the taste.

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1 .

[0023] The utility model discloses a dehumidifying clothes dryer, comprising a shell 1, and a compressor 2, an evaporator 3, a condenser 4, a fan 5 and a heater 6 arranged in the shell 1. The shell 1 is also provided with an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12. Driven by the fan 5, air to be dehumidified enters the shell 1 from the air inlet 11 and passes through the evaporator 3, the condenser 4 and the heater 6 in sequence, and then is discharged from the shell 1 from the air outlet 12.

[0024] In a specific implementation, under normal conditions, the heater 6 is not started and the device performs dehumidification work normally; when clothes need to be dried, the clothes are placed in a closed room, the heater 6 is started, and the air in the room enters the shell 1 from the air inlet 11, passes through the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4, and then passes through the heater 6 again to be heated by the heater 6, and then returns to the room, thereby increasing the temperature in the room, achieving rapid drying of clothes, and maintaining a dry environment for a long time.

[0025] It should be noted that the setting of the heater 6 can also increase the room temperature and maintain it within a specified temperature range. For example, it can maintain the room temperature at a comfortable temperature environment for the human body in winter and then perform dehumidification under this temperature environment.

[0026] Preferably, the system further includes a controller and a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor is used to collect the air humidity in the drying area. The controller is used to receive data from the humidity sensor and compare it with data from a preset humidity range. Based on the comparison results, the operating frequency of compressor 2 is controlled. During dehumidification, the frequency of compressor 2 increases when the humidity is high and decreases when the humidity is low. When the actual air humidity falls below a certain value, the compressor 2 shuts down. When the actual air humidity rises above the set humidity, the compressor 2 automatically restarts. This control method achieves energy-saving, power-saving, safe, reliable, and long-term continuous operation. During drying, compressor 2 operates directly at the maximum allowable frequency. A temperature sensor is connected to the controller, which receives data from the temperature sensor and compares it with data from a preset temperature range. If the temperature rises above a certain value, the heater is turned off; if the temperature falls below a certain value, the heater is turned on. The controller also compares the humidity sensor data received by the controller with data from the preset humidity range. If the humidity remains below the set value (and the temperature remains above the set value) for a certain period of time, the compressor and heater shut down, and the fan stops after a delay of a set value. At this point, it is determined that the clothes are dry, and the drying operation ends.

[0027] In one embodiment, the dehumidifying clothes dryer is ceiling-mounted in a drying room or cloakroom, with the air inlet 11 and air outlet 12 disposed at the bottom of the housing 1. This design facilitates the collection of moisture evaporated from clothes during drying. Alternatively, the dehumidifying clothes dryer can be installed in a bathroom.

[0028] Specifically, the height of the machine of the present application is less than 300 mm, while the general ceiling height is 300. Therefore, the present application can be encapsulated in the ceiling and installed on the ceiling, which can well match the home decoration effect.

[0029] In one embodiment, a water collection chamber 31 is provided at the bottom of the evaporator 3, and a drain pipe (not shown) is connected to one side of the water collection chamber 31. This design allows the condensed water to be discharged directly into the sewer through a dedicated drain pipe, eliminating the need for regular emptying of the water as in conventional dehumidifiers.

[0030] In one embodiment, the compressor 2 and fan 5 are located between the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4. This design allows the low-temperature air cooled by the evaporator to pass through the compressor 2 and fan 5, which can also cool and dissipate heat from the compressor 2 and fan 5. In addition, the dust content in the cooled air is reduced, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the compressor 2 and fan 5.

[0031] In one embodiment, the condenser 4 and heater 6 are arranged in an inclined manner along the flow direction of the airflow in the housing 1, and are in contact with the gas in the housing 1 in an inclined manner. This design, on the one hand, allows for the placement of a larger condenser 4 and heater 6 in the housing 1, and on the other hand, facilitates the heating of the airflow.

[0032] In one embodiment, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 7 is provided in the housing 1, and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 7 is located between the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4. With this design, when the air circulates into the housing 1, the bacteria and viruses in the air are killed by the irradiation of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 7, and then the pure air is returned to the room. Ultraviolet rays have a good sterilization and disinfection effect, but long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays is harmful to the human body and also damages clothes and accelerates aging. When the present application is performing air disinfection, the ultraviolet rays will be blocked by the evaporator 3, condenser 4 and housing 1, and will not directly irradiate people or objects in the room, and will not cause harm to people or objects.

[0033] In one embodiment, an aromatherapy box 8 is disposed between the condenser 4 and the air outlet 12. With this design, when the air blown out from the housing 1 passes through the aromatherapy box 8, the fragrance circulates with the air and enters the room, creating an elegant and comfortable indoor air. The reason why the aromatherapy box 8 is disposed between the condenser 4 and the air outlet 12 is that the air heated by the condenser 4 can better carry the fragrance out of the aromatherapy box 8.

[0034] In one embodiment, an electric heating plate (not shown) is provided at the bottom of the aromatherapy box 8. With this design, the electric heating plate can increase the volatilization of the aromatherapy essential oil in the aromatherapy box 8 after being electrically heated.

[0035] In one embodiment, a filter 9 is provided at the air inlet 11 .

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the utility model involve directional indications (such as up and down), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0038] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features specified as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, "multiple" means more than two. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.
