DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.

[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a clothing processing device, including a box body, an outer drum shell 3 arranged in the box body, a condensation pipe assembly and a condensation structure 4; the condensation structure 4 and the condensation pipe assembly are interconnected and are both arranged on the outside of the outer drum shell 3, and a fixing plate 6 is provided on the outside of the outer drum shell 3, the condensation pipe assembly is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 6, and the condensation pipe assembly is spaced apart from the box body.

[0030] First, clothing processing equipment typically includes household washing machines, industrial washing machines, and dry cleaning machines. A clothing processing device comprises a housing and an outer drum housing 3 disposed within the housing. Clothes are processed within the outer drum housing 3. Taking a washing machine as an example, a washing machine may include a housing, an outer drum housing 3, and a drum. The outer drum housing 3 is disposed within the housing and supported within the housing. The interior of the outer drum housing 3 is hollow, providing an installation space within the outer drum housing 3. The drum rotatably connects to the installation space within the outer drum housing 3, and clothes are placed in the drum for washing. To provide a drying function, a washing machine requires a drying fan, and an air collection channel is provided on the outer drum housing 3. The drying fan is connected to the air collection channel and to the interior of the outer drum housing 3. The air collection channel collects air that has passed through the clothes in the washing machine and feeds it to the drying fan for drying. The dried air in the drying fan is then fed into the outer drum housing 3, thereby forming a cycle to continuously dry the clothes in the outer drum housing 3.

[0031] In order to improve the drying efficiency, a condensation water pipe is usually set in the outer cylinder shell 3, or condensation water is sprayed in the outer cylinder shell 3, so that the higher temperature humid air in the outer cylinder shell 3 condenses on the condensation water pipe or the inner wall of the outer cylinder shell 3, thereby reducing the moisture contained in the air entering the air collecting channel.

[0032] The outer drum shell 3 is provided with a condensation structure 4, and the condensation pipe assembly is connected to the condensation structure 4 to transport condensed water into the outer drum shell 3. When the washing machine vibrates, the condensation pipe assembly will collide or rub against the parts inside the washing machine, causing the condensation pipe assembly to wear and leak easily. In the embodiment of the present application, a fixing plate 6 is provided on the outer drum shell 3, and the condensation pipe assembly is connected to the fixing plate 6, so that the relative position of the condensation pipe assembly and the outer drum shell 3 remains stable and is spaced from the housing. The condensation pipe assembly is connected to the outer drum shell 3 by the fixing plate 6, which limits the range of movement of the condensation pipe assembly. The vibration of the outer drum shell 3 during operation will not cause the condensation pipe assembly to collide with the parts inside the washing machine, thereby avoiding the condensation pipe assembly from being worn due to the vibration of the washing machine when the washing machine is in use, thereby improving the service life of the condensation pipe assembly and avoiding the problem of the condensation pipe assembly being worn and leaking during use of the washing machine.

[0033] Specifically, the box body is the outer shell structure of the clothing processing equipment. The interior of the box body is hollow. The outer cylinder shell 3 is installed in the space inside the box body, and the outer cylinder shell 3 and the box body are spaced apart from each other. The condensation pipe assembly is arranged in the space between the outer cylinder shell 3 and the box body, and the condensation pipe assembly and the box body are spaced apart from each other.

[0034] The above-mentioned outer cylinder shell 3 can be selected as a cylindrical shell structure, the condensation pipe assembly can be selected as a plastic tube or a rubber tube, and a tube body structure can be selected on the outer cylinder shell 3. One end of the tube body structure is exposed on the outside of the outer cylinder shell 3, and the other end is connected to the internal space of the outer cylinder shell 3, so that the tube body structure on the outer cylinder shell 3 serves as a condensation structure.

[0035] The above-mentioned fixing plate 6 can be selected as a plate structure arranged on the outside of the outer cylinder shell 3. The fixing plate 6 can be selected to extend along the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3. Of course, it is also possible to select a part of the fixing plate 6 close to the outer cylinder shell 3 to extend along the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, and a part away from the outer cylinder shell 3 to bend along the circumferential direction or axial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, and the condensation pipe assembly is connected to the part of the fixing plate 6 away from the outer cylinder shell 3.

[0036] A clip can be optionally provided on the above-mentioned fixing plate 6, and the condensation pipe assembly is connected to the clip; of course, a cable tie can also be provided on the fixing plate 6, and the cable tie can be bonded to the fixing plate 6. Of course, a through hole can also be provided on the fixing plate 6, and the cable tie can be passed through the through hole to tie the condensation management assembly to the cable tie.

[0037] A water supply device may be optionally provided on the outside of the outer cylinder shell 3; the water supply device and the condensation structure 4 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the outer cylinder shell 3, one end of the condensation pipe assembly is connected to the condensation structure 4, and the other end is connected to the water supply device, so that the water supply device can supply water to the condensation structure 4.

[0038] When the clothing processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application is used, a condensation pipe assembly is arranged on the outside of the outer drum shell 3, the condensation pipe assembly is connected to the condensation structure 4, the condensation pipe assembly is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 6, and the condensation pipe assembly is spaced apart from the box.

[0039] Water is supplied to the interior of the outer drum shell 3 through the condensation pipe assembly, so that the moist air inside the outer drum shell 3 is condensed; after the washing machine is started, the outer drum shell 3 vibrates, and the condensation pipe assembly vibrates along with the outer drum shell 3, so that the relative position of the condensation pipe assembly and the outer drum shell 3 remains stable, so that the condensation pipe assembly will not be worn due to vibration when the clothing processing equipment is used.

[0040] The clothing processing device provided in the present application includes a box body, an outer tube shell 3 arranged in the box body, a condensation pipe assembly and a condensation structure 4; the condensation structure 4 and the condensation pipe assembly are connected to each other and are both arranged on the outside of the outer tube shell 3. A fixing plate 6 is provided on the outside of the outer tube shell 3. The condensation pipe assembly is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 6, and the condensation pipe assembly is spaced apart from the box body, so that the relative position between the condensation pipe assembly and the outer tube shell 3 remains stable, and the condensation pipe assembly vibrates together with the outer tube shell 3, reducing the range of movement of the condensation pipe assembly when it is vibrated, and avoiding collision and friction between the condensation pipe assembly and parts inside the clothing processing device when the outer tube shell 3 vibrates; and the condensation pipe assembly is spaced apart from the box body, so that the condensation pipe assembly will not be worn by mutual friction with the box body, avoiding wear and leakage of the condensation pipe assembly due to vibration during operation of the clothing processing device, thereby improving the service life of the condensation pipe assembly and extending the time that the clothing processing device can work normally.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the condenser pipe assembly includes a condenser pipe 1, which includes a first straight section 11. The first straight section 11 is in communication with the condenser structure 4, is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 6, and is spaced apart from the inner wall of the housing. This arrangement allows the condenser pipe 1 to supply water to the condenser structure 4 to condense the moist air within the outer cylinder housing 3. The first straight section 11 fits snugly against the fixing plate 6, facilitating connection between the first straight section 11 and the fixing plate 6.

[0042] Specifically, the condenser 1 can be selected as a long strip pipeline structure, one end of the condenser 1 is connected to the condensation structure 4, and the other end is connected to the water supply device; the outer cylinder shell 3 can be selected as a cylindrical cylinder structure, the direction around the axis of the outer cylinder shell 3 is the circumferential direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, the direction along the axis of the outer cylinder shell 3 is the axial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, and the direction perpendicular to the axis of the outer cylinder shell 3 is the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3.

[0043] The first straight section 11 can be a tubular structure extending circumferentially along the outer cylinder shell 3. At least a portion of the fixing plate 6 can be parallel to the first straight section 11, so that the first straight section 11 can be attached to the fixing plate 6, and a large contact area is created between the first straight section 11 and the fixing plate 6. This keeps the relative position of the first straight section 11 and the fixing plate 6 stable, making it convenient for users to connect the first straight section 11 to the fixing plate 6 using straps or glue.

[0044] Alternatively, the first straight section 11 is not limited to being a tube extending along the axial direction of the outer cylindrical shell 3. A portion of the fixing plate 6 is parallel to the first straight section 11, so that the first straight section 11 can be attached to the fixing plate 6. The first straight section 11 can be attached to the fixing plate 6, so that there is a large contact area between the first straight section 11 and the fixing plate 6, so that the relative position between the first straight section 11 and the fixing plate 6 remains stable, facilitating the connection between the first straight section 11 and the fixing plate 6.

[0045] The interior of the above-mentioned box is hollow, and the outer cylinder shell 3 is rotatably set inside the box. The first straight section 11 is spaced apart from the inner wall surface of the box, so that when the outer cylinder shell 3 vibrates, the first straight section 11 is connected to the fixed plate 6 to limit the movement range of the condenser 1, so that the condenser 1 will not be damaged by friction with the box.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the condenser 1 further includes a first curved section 12 connected to the first straight section 11, and the first curved section (12) is bent relative to the first straight section (11) in a direction away from the bottom (31) of the outer cylinder shell (3).

[0047] With this arrangement, by adjusting the curvature of the first curved segment 12, the position of the first curved segment 12 away from the end of the first straight segment 11 can be changed, thereby increasing the mobility of the condenser 1 and facilitating its connection to the water supply device. Furthermore, the curved structure of the first curved segment 12 absorbs vibration, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the condenser 1 during operation of the laundry processing device. Furthermore, the first curved segment 12 curves away from the bottom 31 of the outer tub housing 3, preventing friction with the inner wall of the outer tub housing 3 during vibration.

[0048] Specifically, the outer cylinder shell 3 is a cylindrical structure with an opening at one end and a closed end. The clothes enter the interior of the cylindrical structure of the outer cylinder shell 3 through the opening. The side wall of the closed end of the cylindrical structure is the bottom 31 of the outer cylinder shell 3. The condensation pipe assembly can be selected to be arranged between the opening and the bottom 31 of the outer cylinder shell 3 in the axial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3.

[0049] The first curved section 12 can be optionally connected between the first straight section 11 and the water supply device; the first straight section 11 can be optionally arranged along the circumference of the outer cylinder housing 3, and the first curved section 12 can optionally include a second pipeline extending axially along the outer cylinder housing 3 and a first pipeline arranged circumferentially along the outer cylinder housing 3. The two second pipelines are spaced apart along the circumference of the outer cylinder housing 3, and the first pipeline is connected between the two second pipelines. One second pipeline is connected to the first straight section 11, and the other second pipeline is connected to the water supply device, forming a "J"-shaped structure for the first curved section 12. By adjusting the angle between the two second pipelines and the first pipeline, the position of the first curved section 12 can be adjusted to facilitate connection of the first curved section 12 to the water supply device.

[0050] At least a portion of the first curved section 12 can be bent along the axial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3 toward a direction away from the cylinder bottom 31 , so that the first curved section 12 is away from the inner wall surface of the box body opposite to the cylinder bottom 31 .

[0051] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the condensing pipe assembly further includes a chip removal pipe 2 spaced apart from the condensing pipe 1, and the chip removal pipe 2 includes a second straight section 21, which is arranged parallel to the first straight section 11, and the second straight section 21 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 6 and spaced apart from the inner wall surface of the box body. In this arrangement, the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 are parallel to each other, which facilitates the fixing plate 6 and the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 to be parallel to each other. When using a strap or glue to connect the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 to the fixing plate 6, the user does not need to adjust the position to connect the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 to the fixing plate 6, thereby improving the convenience of the connection operation of the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 to the fixing plate 6.

[0052] Since the air passing through the clothes will carry dandruff, the dandruff moves in the outer tube shell 3 with the flow of air, making it easy for the dandruff to adhere to the inner wall of the outer tube shell 3 or the air collecting channel. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a dandruff removal tube 2 on the outer tube shell 3, and spray water through the dandruff removal tube 2 to the inner wall of the outer tube shell 3 and the air collecting channel, so as to flush away the attached and accumulated dandruff.

[0053] The condenser tube 1 and the chip removal tube 2 are spaced apart and connected to the fixed plate 6 respectively, so that the relative position of the condenser tube 1 and the outer cylinder shell 3 remains stable, and the relative position of the chip removal tube 2 and the outer cylinder shell 3 remains stable, thereby avoiding mutual friction between the condenser tube 1 and the chip removal tube 2.

[0054] The outer cylinder shell 3 may optionally be provided with two tube structures as the condensation structure 4. Both tube structures are exposed on the outside of the outer cylinder shell 3 and are in communication with the outer cylinder shell 3. The condensation pipe 1 and the chip removal pipe 2 are respectively in communication with the two tube structures, so that water is supplied to the interior of the outer cylinder shell 3 through the condensation pipe 1 and the chip removal pipe 2. The condensation pipe 1 and the chip removal pipe 2 may be optionally spaced apart in the radial or circumferential direction of the outer cylinder shell 3.

[0055] Two clips can be optionally provided on the above-mentioned fixing plate 6, and the two clips are spaced apart from each other. The first straight section 11 is connected to one clip, and the second straight section 21 is connected to the other clip, so that the fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the condenser tube 1 and the chip removal tube 2; of course, two cable ties can also be provided on the fixing plate 6, and the cable ties can be bonded to the fixing plate 6. Of course, two through holes can also be provided on the fixing plate 6, and the two cable ties are respectively passed through the two through holes, one cable tie is tied and connected to the first straight section 11, and the other cable tie is tied and connected to the second straight section 21, so that the condenser tube 1 and the chip removal tube 2 are connected to the fixing plate 6 through the cable ties.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the chip removal pipe 2 also includes a second curved section 22 connected to the second straight section 21, and the second curved section 22 is bent relative to the second straight section 21 in a direction away from the bottom 31 of the outer cylinder shell 3 of the box. With this arrangement, the second curved section 22 increases the mobility of the chip removal pipe 2. By changing the degree of curvature of the second curved section 22, the position of the chip removal pipe 2 can be adjusted, which facilitates the connection of the chip removal pipe 2 with the water supply device; and the curved structure of the first curved section 12 and the second curved section 22 absorbs vibration, reduces vibration on the condensing pipe 1 and the chip removal pipe 2, and improves the stability of the condensing pipe 1 and the chip removal pipe 2. The second curved section 22 is bent in a direction away from the bottom 31 of the outer cylinder shell 3, so that the second curved section 22 is spaced apart from the inner wall surface of the box body, thereby avoiding friction between the second curved section 22 and the box body when subjected to vibration.

[0057] Specifically, the second curved section 22 can be positioned between the open end of the outer cylinder housing 3 and the bottom 31 of the outer cylinder housing. The second curved section 22 can include an inclined section and a connecting section, with the inclined section connected to the second straight section 21. The second straight section 21 can extend circumferentially along the outer cylinder housing 3, with the inclined section tilted axially away from the outer cylinder housing 3, and the connecting section extending circumferentially along the outer cylinder housing 3 and connected between the inclined section and the water supply device. By adjusting the angle between the inclined section and the connecting section, the position of the second curved section 22 can be adjusted, facilitating connection between the second curved section 22 and the water supply device.

[0058] The second curved segment 22 and the first curved segment 12 can be spaced apart along the axial direction of the outer drum housing 3 so that the first curved segment 12 and the second curved segment 22 are spaced apart from each other to avoid friction with each other. Furthermore, since the first curved segment 12 and the second curved segment 22 occupy a large space due to their own curved structures, the second curved segment 22 and the first curved segment 12 can be spaced apart along the axial direction of the outer drum housing 3 to reasonably utilize the space along the axial direction of the outer drum housing 3 on the outside of the outer drum housing 3 to avoid contact between the first curved segment 12 and the second curved segment 22 and the washing machine cabinet.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 are located on the same side of the fixed plate 6 and are respectively attached to the fixed plate 6. This arrangement facilitates the attachment of the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 to the fixed plate 6, improving the stability of the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21. The user can connect the fixed plate 6 to the condenser tube 1 and the dust removal tube 2 without significantly changing the position, thereby improving the convenience of connecting the condenser tube assembly to the fixed plate 6.

[0060] Specifically, the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 can be selected to extend along the circumference of the outer cylinder shell 3, so that the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 are arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3; at this time, in the axial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, the outer cylinder shell 3 has a front end and a rear end, and the fixing plate 6 can be selected to be on the side of the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 close to the rear end of the outer cylinder shell 3, or the fixing plate 6 can be selected to be on the side of the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 close to the front end of the outer cylinder shell 3.

[0061] Of course, it is also possible to choose that the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 extend along the circumferential direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, and the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3. In this case, along the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, the fixing plate 6 is arranged on the side of the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 close to the outer cylinder shell 3.

[0062] Alternatively, and not limited to, the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 may extend axially along the outer cylinder shell 3, so that the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 are spaced apart along the circumference of the outer cylinder shell 3, and the fixing plate 6 is disposed on a side of the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 close to the outer cylinder shell 3 in the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, so as to facilitate connection between the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 and the fixing plate 6.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 are located on opposite sides of the fixing plate 6 and are respectively secured to the opposite side surfaces of the fixing plate 6. This arrangement allows the fixing plate 6 to utilize the space between the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21, thereby improving the space utilization outside the outer cylinder housing 3. Furthermore, the presence of the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 on opposite sides of the fixing plate 6 prevents friction between the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 during vibration.

[0064] Specifically, the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 can be optionally arranged at intervals in the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, and the fixing plate 6 is bent at one end away from the outer cylinder shell 3 and extends between the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21, so that the fixing plate 6 is respectively in contact with the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 on both sides of the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3.

[0065] Of course, the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 can also be arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, and the fixing plate 6 extends radially along the outer cylinder shell 3. The fixing plate 6 is arranged between the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21, so that the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 can be respectively attached to the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 on both sides of the fixing plate 6 along the axial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3.

[0066] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a retaining member 5 is provided on the fixing plate 6, and the retaining member 5 is connected to the condensing pipe assembly, and the retaining member 5 is used to fix the condensing pipe assembly. In this arrangement, the retaining member 5 is connected to the condensing pipe assembly, which facilitates the installation operation of the condensing pipe assembly on the fixing plate 6.

[0067] Specifically, the limiting member 5 can be selected as a cable tie, the two ends of which can be connected to form an annular structure, and the condensing pipe assembly is inserted into the annular structure. The condensing pipe assembly can be tied by reducing the diameter of the annular structure.

[0068] The condensation pipe assembly can be selected to include a condensation pipe 1 and a chip removal pipe 2, and two cable ties are provided on the fixing plate 6, one cable tie is tied to the condensation pipe 1, and the other cable tie is tied to the chip removal pipe 2. Of course, a cable tie can also be provided on the fixing plate 6 as a limiter 5, the limiter 5 is connected to the condensation pipe 1, and the chip removal pipe 2 is connected to the fixing plate 6 by a buckle or tape.

The cable tie is passed through the perforation and tied to the condenser pipe assembly. This arrangement has a simple structure and low cost. The cable tie is also convenient to use, simplifies the connection operation of the condenser pipe 1 and the chip removal pipe 2 to the fixing plate 6, and facilitates the user to efficiently install the condenser pipe 1 and the chip removal pipe 2 on the outer cylinder housing 3.

[0071] Specifically, the cable ties can be all fishbone cable ties, so as to facilitate adjustment of the diameter of the ring structure formed by the binding of the cable ties. Of course, the cable ties can also be selected as nylon cable ties.

[0072] The above-mentioned perforation passes through the fixed plate 6, the cable tie is inserted into the perforation, and then the two ends of the cable tie are connected to form a ring structure. The condensing pipe assembly is inserted into the ring structure, and the cable tie abuts against the outer side surface of the condensing pipe assembly, so that the cable tie binds the condensing pipe assembly and the fixed plate 6 together.

[0079] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the fixing plate 6 that is fixed to the condensing pipe assembly is perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3. This arrangement allows the fixing plate 6 to fully utilize the space along the circumference of the outer cylinder shell 3, increasing the contact area between the fixing plate 6 and the condensing pipe assembly, and improving the stability of the condensing pipe assembly after being connected to the fixing plate 6.

[0081] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing plate 6 is integrally formed with the outer cylinder housing 3. This configuration simplifies the operation of installing the fixing plate 6 on the outer cylinder housing 3, reduces the difficulty and cost of installing the fixing plate 6 on the outer cylinder housing 3, and facilitates mass production of the outer cylinder housing 3 with the fixing plate 6.

[0082] Specifically, the outer cylinder shell 3 and the fixing plate 6 can be integrally formed by injection molding, or the outer cylinder shell 3 and the fixing plate 6 can be integrally formed by deforming a single plate.

[0083] In some embodiments, the outer drum housing 3 includes a front drum portion and a rear drum portion arranged axially in sequence, with a fixing plate 6 disposed at the end of the rear drum portion away from the front drum portion. This arrangement positions the rear drum portion away from the washing machine's control panel, creating a larger space between the rear drum portion and the washing machine's housing. Fixing plate 6 utilizes the space outside the rear drum portion and allows fixing plate 6, condenser tube 1, and dust collector tube 2 to be positioned away from the washing machine's operating panel, preventing the high humidity created by the water supply to the condenser tube 1 and dust collector tube 2 from affecting the operation of the operating panel.

[0084] Specifically, the front and rear drum parts can be both cylindrical structures. In the axial direction of the outer drum shell 3, the front and rear drum parts are coaxially arranged, and the front and rear drum parts are arranged opposite each other and connected to each other. The front and rear drum parts are combined to form the outer drum shell 3; the front drum part is close to the operating panel of the washing machine, and the distance between the front drum part and the washing machine body is small, while there is a large space between the rear drum part and the washing machine body. The fixing plate 6 is arranged at the end of the rear drum part that is axially away from the front drum part of the outer drum shell 3, so that the fixing plate 6, the condensing pipe 1 and the chip removal pipe 2 can be away from the front drum part, making full use of the space in the rear drum part.

[0085] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a water supply device is provided on the outside of the outer cylinder housing 3; the condensation structure 4 is connected to the interior of the outer cylinder housing 3, and the water supply device and the condensation structure 4 are spaced apart along the circumference of the outer cylinder housing 3. One end of the condensation pipe assembly is connected to the condensation structure 4, and the other end is connected to the water supply device. The condensation pipe 1 has one end connected to the condensation structure 4 and the other end is connected to the water supply device, and the chip removal pipe 2 has one end connected to the condensation structure 4 and the other end is connected to the water supply device.

[0086] Specifically, the water supply device can be selected as a valve body, which is provided with two water supply columns, which are respectively connected to the condensation pipe 1 and the chip removal pipe 2. The valve body is connected to the faucet outside the washing machine through a pipeline. The water supply device can supply water to the condensation structure 4 through the condensation pipe 1, and the water supply device can supply water to the condensation structure 4 through the chip removal pipe 2.

[0087] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the condensation structure 4 includes a main body 41, a condensation water supply column 42 and a chip removal water supply column 43; the main body 41 is connected to the outside of the outer cylinder shell 3, the condensation water supply column 42 is exposed on the side of the main body 41 facing away from the outer cylinder shell 3, and the condensation water supply column 42 is connected to the interior of the outer cylinder shell 3; the chip removal water supply column 43 is exposed on the side of the main body 41 facing away from the outer cylinder shell 3, and the chip removal water supply column 43 is exposed on the side of the main body 41 facing away from the outer cylinder shell 3; the condensation water supply column 42 and the chip removal water supply column 43 are arranged at intervals, the condensation pipe 1 is connected to the condensation water supply column 42, and the chip removal pipe 2 is connected to the chip removal water supply column 43.

[0088] In this arrangement, the condensation water supply column 42 and the chip removal water supply column 43 are spaced apart to avoid contact between the condensation tube 1 and the chip removal tube 2. The condensation water supply column 42 is exposed on the main body 41, which is convenient for connecting the condensation tube 1 with the condensation water supply column 42. The chip removal water supply column 43 is exposed on the main body 41, which is convenient for connecting the chip removal tube 2 with the chip removal water supply column 43.

[0089] The above-mentioned condensation water supply column 42 and chip removal water supply column 43 can be optionally arranged at intervals along the axial or radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, so that the part of the condensation tube 1 close to the condensation water supply column 42 and the part of the chip removal tube 2 close to the chip removal water supply column 43 are spaced apart from each other.

[0090] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the chip removal water supply column 43 is arranged on the side of the condensation water supply column 42 away from the outer cylinder shell 3 along the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, part of the condensation tube 1 is arranged on the side of the chip removal tube 2 away from the outer cylinder shell 3 along the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3, and the remaining part of the condensation tube 1 is arranged on the side of the chip removal tube 2 close to the outer cylinder shell 3 along the radial direction of the outer cylinder shell 3.

[0091] With such arrangement, since the condenser 1 is used for a long time, the condenser 1 has higher requirements on stability, so the length of the condenser 1 needs to be longer so that it can absorb more vibrations. The intersection of the condenser 1 and the chip removal tube 2 can make full use of the radial space of the outer cylinder shell 3.

[0092] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a fan is provided outside the outer cylinder housing 3, and the fan includes a fan housing 7 and a drive unit.

The fan housing 7 is connected to the outer cylinder housing 3, and the interior of the fan housing 7 is in communication with the interior of the outer cylinder housing 3. The condensation structure 4 is formed on the fan housing 7. In this arrangement, the condensation structure 4 utilizes the structure of the fan housing 7, reducing the space occupied by the condensation structure 4 and improving the space utilization outside the outer cylinder housing 3.

[0093] Specifically, the fan casing 7 of the fan is connected to the outer cylinder shell 3, and the outer cylinder shell 3 is provided with an air inlet. The fan casing 7 covers the air inlet, and the fan casing 7 has an opening, which is connected to the air inlet, so that the driving part can drive the air from the inside of the fan casing 7 through the opening and the air inlet to blow into the inside of the outer cylinder shell 3.

Multiple first cable ties are used to bind the first straight section 11, and multiple second cable ties are used to bind the second straight section 21, thereby connecting the first straight section 11 and the second straight section 21 to the fixed plate 6, respectively, to maintain a stable relative position between the condensation pipe 1 and the fixed plate 6, and to maintain a stable relative position between the debris removal pipe 2 and the fixed plate 6.

[0095] The water supply device supplies water to the interior of the outer tub housing 3 through the condenser tube 1 and the condensation water supply column 42, condensing the moist air inside the outer tub housing 3. The water supply device also supplies water to the interior of the outer tub housing 3 through the chip removal pipe 2 and the chip removal water supply column 43, thereby flushing the inner wall of the outer tub housing 3.
