Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of washer-dryer combos, and more particularly to an exhaust device for an washer-dryer combo. Background Technology

[0002] In modern family life, washer-dryer combos are a convenient household appliance that combines washing and drying functions, greatly simplifying daily clothing handling. During the drying process, to prevent lint and other impurities from being expelled with the air, a filter is usually installed in the drying exhaust duct. However, after prolonged use, a large amount of lint gradually accumulates on the filter. As the lint accumulates, the filter's permeability is severely affected, leading to poor ventilation. This not only reduces drying efficiency but may also adversely affect the normal operation of the machine, even increasing energy consumption and shortening the equipment's lifespan.

[0003] What's even more problematic is that most washer-dryer combos on the market require manual operation to clean the filter. Users must disassemble the washing machine to access and remove the filter for cleaning. This process is not only tedious and complicated, requiring certain technical skills and tools, but also poses certain safety hazards, increasing users' maintenance costs and burden, and greatly affecting the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0039] In modern family life, washer-dryer combos are a convenient household appliance that combines washing and drying functions, greatly simplifying daily clothing handling. During the drying process, to prevent lint and other impurities from being expelled with the air, a filter is usually installed in the drying exhaust duct. However, after prolonged use, a large amount of lint gradually accumulates on the filter. As the lint accumulates, the filter's permeability is severely affected, leading to poor ventilation. This not only reduces drying efficiency but may also adversely affect the normal operation of the machine, even increasing energy consumption and shortening the equipment's lifespan.

[0040] What's even more problematic is that most washer-dryer combos on the market require manual operation to clean the filter. Users must disassemble the washing machine to access and remove the filter for cleaning. This process is not only tedious and complicated, requiring certain technical skills and tools, but also poses certain safety hazards, increasing users' maintenance costs and burden, and greatly affecting the user experience.

[0041] To overcome the above technical problems, such as Figure 1-12 As shown, this embodiment provides an exhaust device for a washer-dryer combo, including:

[0042] Ventilation duct 1 has a ventilation cavity inside, and a dust discharge port 11 is provided at the bottom of the ventilation duct 1;

[0043] Filter 2 is rotatably installed inside the ventilation cavity;

[0044] The first drive component 3 is connected to the filter screen 2 for driving the filter screen 2 to flip, so that the filter screen 2 is upright or laid down near the dust outlet 11. When the filter screen 2 is upright, it can intercept cotton fibers in the air passing through the ventilation cavity.

[0045] The dust collection box 4 includes a mounting shell 41 and a pull-out box body 42 installed on the mounting shell 41. The mounting shell 41 is installed below the ventilation pipe 1 and aligned with the dust discharge port 11. When the filter screen 2 is laid down, the box body 42 can collect the cotton wool that falls from the filter screen 2.

[0046] In practical applications, the exhaust device of the washer-dryer combo in this embodiment also includes an air supply pipe 6 and an exhaust pipe 7. One end of the air supply pipe 6 is connected to the air outlet of the washing drum, and the other end is connected to the air inlet of the ventilation pipe 1. One end of the exhaust pipe 7 is connected to the exhaust end of the ventilation pipe 1, and the other end is used to exhaust air into the environment.

[0047] When filter 2 is erected in the ventilation cavity (i.e. Figure 4(As shown in the diagram), it can intercept lint in the air passing through the ventilation cavity; when it is necessary to clean the filter screen 2, the first drive component 3 can automatically drive the filter screen 2 to rotate and fall down (i.e., Figure 6 (As shown in the figure) When the filter screen 2 is laid down, the windward side faces down, and the cotton wool intercepted on the windward side can automatically fall downward under the action of gravity. The fallen cotton wool falls into the dust collection box 4 through the dust discharge port 11 and is collected. After cleaning is completed, the first drive component 3 drives the filter screen 2 to rotate in the opposite direction to reset.

[0048] Traditional washer-dryer combos require manual disassembly of parts of the washing machine to clean the filter, a tedious and complex process. In contrast, this embodiment uses a first drive component 3 to flip the filter screen 2. When the filter screen 2 is tilted, lint automatically falls into the dust collection box 4. Users simply need to periodically pull out and clean the dust collection box 4, eliminating the need to disassemble the washing machine. This simple and convenient operation significantly reduces the difficulty of use. Furthermore, when too much lint accumulates in the dust collection box 4, users only need to periodically empty the box, reducing maintenance time and simplifying the overall maintenance process.

[0049] This embodiment achieves automatic cleaning of the filter screen 2 without the need for professional technicians and tools to disassemble, clean, and install it. This reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by improper manual operation, thereby reducing maintenance costs and equipment failure rate, and indirectly reducing the user's maintenance costs.

[0050] In the control system of the washer-dryer combo, an automatic timed cleaning program for filter 2 can be set. By promptly and effectively cleaning the lint on filter 2, problems such as poor ventilation caused by filter 2 blockage are avoided. This reduces additional energy consumption and mechanical wear caused by excessive ventilation resistance during operation, helping to extend the overall service life of the washer-dryer combo. Timely cleaning of filter 2 can effectively intercept lint in the air, preventing it from affecting the smooth flow of the ventilation system, thereby improving drying efficiency and reducing drying time.

[0051] In one embodiment, the filter screen 2 includes a screen body 21 and a first rotating shaft 22 connected to the bottom side of the screen body 21. The first driving component 3 is connected to the first rotating shaft 22 to drive the filter screen 2 to flip.

[0052] By directly connecting the first drive assembly 3 to the first rotating shaft 22 of the filter screen 2, the transmission structure is simplified, intermediate transmission links are reduced, and transmission efficiency and reliability are improved. This direct transmission method can more precisely control the flipping action of the filter screen 2, ensuring that it can be accurately erected or laid down when needed. Connecting the first rotating shaft 22 to the bottom side of the screen body 21 makes the installation of the entire filter screen 2 and the layout of the drive assembly more compact and reasonable. When the filter screen 2 is laid down, it is closer to the bottom dust discharge port 11, which allows the cotton wool to fall into the dust discharge port 11 more accurately.

[0053] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 7 The first drive assembly 3 includes a motor 31, a worm gear 32 and a first gear 33. The worm gear 32 is connected to the motor 31, and the first gear 33 is connected to the first rotating shaft 22. The worm gear 32 meshes with the first gear 33, so that the motor 31 drives the filter screen 2 to flip.

[0054] In this embodiment, the transmission system, consisting of a motor 31, a worm gear 32, and a first gear 33, has a relatively mature and compact structure, providing a stable and reliable driving force for the flipping of the filter screen 2. The motor 31, as the power source, transmits power to the first rotating shaft 22 through the meshing of the worm gear 32 and the first gear 33, thereby driving the filter screen 2 to achieve a precise flipping action. Furthermore, the worm gear 32 and the first gear 33 employ a specific meshing method, possessing a self-locking function. When the motor 31 stops operating, this self-locking characteristic effectively prevents the filter screen 2 from rotating unexpectedly under gravity or other external forces, ensuring the stability of the filter screen 2 in both upright and laid-down states.

[0055] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 The inner wall of the ventilation cavity is provided with a baffle frame 12 located on the leeward side of the filter screen 2. When the filter screen 2 is upright, the periphery of the leeward side of the filter screen 2 abuts against the baffle frame 12.

[0056] A baffle frame 12 is installed on the inner wall of the ventilation cavity. When the filter screen 2 is upright, its leeward side abuts against the baffle frame 12, which can effectively prevent the filter screen 2 from shaking or shifting under the impact of airflow. This design provides additional support for the filter screen 2, making it more stable and reliable when intercepting impurities such as cotton wool, and improving the stability of the filtration effect.

[0057] In one embodiment, an electrostatic dust collection component 5 is also included, which is installed below the ventilation pipe 1 and aligned with the dust outlet 11. The dust collection box 4 is installed below the electrostatic dust collection component 5. When the filter screen 2 is laid down, the electrostatic dust collection component 5 can adsorb the cotton lint on the filter screen 2 when it is powered on. When the electrostatic dust collection component 5 is powered off, the cotton lint on its surface can automatically fall down into the box 42.

[0058] When filter 2 is laid down, some of the lint on it may not fall into dust collection box 4 easily under gravity. Therefore, an electrostatic dust collection component 5 is added. This component is installed below ventilation pipe 1 and aligned with dust outlet 11. Dust collection box 4 is installed below the component, forming a top-down collaborative working chain. When filter 2 is laid down, the electrostatic dust collection component 5 actively attracts the lint. Then, power is cut off, allowing the lint to fall automatically into dust collection box 4. The entire process requires no manual intervention, achieving automated cleaning. In this embodiment, the electrostatic dust collection component 5, when powered on, actively attracts the lint, quickly and effectively removing impurities from the surface of filter 2 and restoring its breathability. This ensures that filter 2 can function normally in the next drying process, intercepting lint in the air, maintaining good airflow, and thus improving drying efficiency.

[0059] Furthermore, when the electrostatic dust collection component 5 is powered off, it loses its adsorption force on the cotton fibers it has attracted. The cotton fibers will then automatically fall down into the box 42 under the action of gravity and be collected, allowing users to simply clean the cotton fibers in the box 42.

[0060] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 8-10 The electrostatic dust collection component 5 includes a mounting frame 51, a plurality of electrostatic adsorption plates 52, and a second driving component 54. The upper and lower sides of the mounting frame 51 are respectively connected to the ventilation pipe 1 and the mounting shell 41. The plurality of electrostatic adsorption plates 52 are horizontally arrayed and rotatably mounted in the mounting frame 51. The second driving component 54 is connected to all the electrostatic adsorption plates 52 to drive all the electrostatic adsorption plates 52 to rotate synchronously. When the electrostatic adsorption plates 52 are laid flat, they can approach the filter screen 2 and adsorb cotton wool. When the electrostatic adsorption plates 52 are tilted, the cotton wool on their surface can automatically fall downward into the box 42.

[0061] In operation, before the filter screen 2 is laid down, the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 is in a flat state, with the entire electrostatic adsorption plate 52 horizontally close to the filter screen 2. After the filter screen 2 is laid down, the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 is energized. The energized electrostatic adsorption plate 52 can provide uniform adsorption force on the entire horizontal surface, achieving effective adsorption of cotton fibers on the entire filter screen 2. When the filter screen 2 is reset, the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 is de-energized, and then the second drive component 54 drives the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 to flip to an inclined state. The cotton fibers that have lost electrostatic adsorption force will fall downward into the dust collection box 4 under their own gravity.

[0062] In the above implementation, when the filter screen 2 is laid down, the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 can be brought as close as possible to the filter screen 2. After the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 is energized, it provides uniform adsorption force on the entire horizontal plane, which can effectively cover the entire surface of the filter screen 2, ensuring that the cotton fibers in all areas of the filter screen 2 are adsorbed evenly and effectively, avoiding adsorption dead zones and improving the cotton fiber collection efficiency.

[0063] From the flat adsorption of the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 to the flipping and dropping of cotton lint when the power is off, the entire cleaning process is highly automated. Users do not need to perform any manual intervention and only need to clean the dust collection box 4 periodically. This automated cleaning process not only reduces the tedium of manual operation, but also reduces the risk of equipment failure caused by incomplete manual cleaning or forgetting to clean.

[0064] In one embodiment, the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 includes an adsorption plate body 521 and a second rotating shaft 522 fixedly connected. The second driving assembly 54 includes a rack 542, a second gear 543 and a linear actuator 541. One end of each second rotating shaft 522 is equipped with a second gear 543. The rack 542 meshes with all the second gears 543 simultaneously. The linear actuator 541 is connected to the rack 542 and drives the rack 542 to reciprocate linearly, thereby synchronously driving all the electrostatic adsorption plates 52 to rotate.

[0065] The second drive assembly 54 adopts a combination of rack 542, second gear 543 and linear driver 541. The linear driver 541 drives the rack 542 to reciprocate linearly, which in turn drives the second gear 543 of all electrostatic adsorption plates 52 to rotate synchronously, realizing the synchronous flipping of electrostatic adsorption plates 52. This transmission method has a compact structure and can provide a stable and reliable driving force, ensuring the consistency and synchronicity of the actions of all electrostatic adsorption plates 52.

[0066] In one embodiment, the linear actuator 541 is a resilient electromagnet.

[0067] The elastic telescopic electromagnet has a simple and compact structure, consisting of basic components such as an electromagnet and a spring. In the electrostatic dust collection component 5 of a washer-dryer combo, it can be easily installed in a limited space, and during operation, it achieves extension and retraction through the cooperation of electromagnetic force and spring force. It eliminates the need for complex mechanical structures, improves system reliability, and reduces potential failure points.

[0068] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 10 The mounting frame 51 is provided with a baffle 53 located below the electrostatic adsorption plate 52. Each electrostatic adsorption plate 52 is provided with a baffle 53. When the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 is flipped to an inclined state, it can hit the baffle 53, causing the cotton wool on the surface of the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 to be shaken off.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 flips to an inclined state and strikes the baffle 53, it can generate instantaneous vibration. This vibration can effectively overcome the adhesion between the cotton and the surface of the adsorption plate, causing the cotton to quickly detach from the surface of the adsorption plate and fall into the dust collection box 4. This ensures that the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 can restore good adsorption performance after each cleaning, providing efficient adsorption capacity for the next drying process, thereby improving the overall drying efficiency.

[0070] In this embodiment, the baffle 53 provides a limit and support point for the flipping of the electrostatic adsorption plate 52. When the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 is flipped to an inclined state, the action of impacting the baffle 53 not only helps to shake off the cotton lint, but also ensures that the angle of the adsorption plate flipping is accurate and consistent, avoiding structural interference or damage caused by excessive flipping, thus improving the reliability and stability of the entire electrostatic dust collection assembly 5. By using this simple mechanical structure of the baffle 53 to shake off the cotton lint, there is no need to add a complex drive device or control logic, making the structure of the entire exhaust device simpler and clearer, reducing the complexity of design and manufacturing, and also facilitating later maintenance and repair.

[0071] In actual operation, the second drive component 54 can be used to control the electrostatic adsorption plate 52 to repeatedly strike the stop bar, causing vibration and effectively shaking off the cotton lint.

[0072] In one embodiment, a groove is provided on one side of the box body 42, and a flip-out handle 421 is installed in the groove. The handle 421 can be stored in the groove or extend out of the groove by flipping it.

[0073] The flip-out handle 421 extends into a groove, providing a comfortable grip for the user, facilitating easy application of force and effortless pulling of the box 42, reducing operational difficulty. When stored, the handle does not take up extra space, allowing the device to be placed in compact spaces, such as near a corner or furniture, maximizing space utilization.
