[0046] In related technologies, drying equipment such as heat pump washer-dryer combos are household appliances that combine washing and drying functions and have been increasingly favored by users in recent years. During the drying process, clothes produce a lot of lint, some of which accumulates inside the door seal groove of the washer-dryer combo. If not cleaned for a long time, it is prone to mold and strong odor. When washing clothes again, the residual lint may be mixed with the clothes, which not only brings a bad user experience, but also brings certain difficulties to users in cleaning and maintenance.

[0047] Due to the limited space inside the door seal groove, traditional cleaning methods usually require a lot of time and effort, such as manual cleaning or cleaning with a vacuum cleaner. These methods are not only inefficient, but also easily cause inconvenience to users.

[0048] This application provides a clothes drying device to solve the problem of mold growth on the door seals of existing clothes drying devices. The following will be discussed in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-10 Please provide an explanation.

[0049] The clothes drying equipment provided in the embodiments of this application refers to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a main body 100, a water storage box 200, and an electrolysis device 300. The main body 100 is equipped with a door seal 110. The water storage box 200 is connected to the main body 100 and is used to store water. The water storage box 200 is provided with a water outlet pipe 210, and the outlet of the water outlet pipe 210 is set towards the door seal 110. The electrolysis device 300 is installed in the water storage box 200 and is used to electrolyze the water in the water storage box 200.

[0050] It should be noted that dryers can be devices that only have drying functions, or they can be washing and drying combos.

[0051] An electrolysis device 300 is installed inside or connected to the water storage box 200 to electrolyze the water in the water storage box 200, producing electrolyzed water with a bactericidal effect. The water storage box 200 is connected to a water outlet pipe 210, with its outlet facing the door seal 110. This pipe directs the electrolyzed water from the water storage box 200 to the door seal 110 for cleaning and sterilization. Regular spraying of electrolyzed water keeps the door seal 110 clean and dry, effectively preventing mold growth and odors, and improving the hygiene of the equipment's interior. Furthermore, condensate rinsing of the door seal 110 removes lint, preventing lint from re-contaminating the washing water during the next wash.

[0052] In an optional implementation, the water storage box 200 is used to collect condensate from the device body during the drying process.

[0053] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, heat pump dryers typically include an evaporator to absorb heat during the clothes drying process, thus cooling the hot air. During this process, the moisture in the hot air condenses into water droplets due to the decrease in temperature. The main body 100 of the equipment can be equipped with horizontal and vertical water guide channels to effectively guide the condensate generated in the evaporator area to the water storage box 200 for storage.

[0054] By using the equipment's own condensate to clean the door seal 110, it can clean the lint in the groove 113 of the door seal 110 and sterilize the groove 113 of the door seal 110, preventing mold and removing odors, thus solving the user's pain points. At the same time, it realizes the utilization and discharge of condensate, avoiding resource waste.

[0055] For example, a water pump can be installed in the water storage box 200 to pump the condensate after electrolysis into the water outlet pipe 210, thereby increasing the water pressure and improving the cleaning power.

[0056] The water storage box 200 is designed to hold a certain amount of condensate, ensuring that the normal operation of the equipment will not be affected by the accumulation of condensate during the drying process, and also ensuring that enough water can be stored to clean the door seal 110.

[0057] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figures 2-5 As shown, the water storage box 200 has an installation groove 201. The electrolysis device 300 includes a mounting base 310, an electrode plate 320, and a connector 330. The electrode plate 320 is mounted on the mounting base 310 and passes through the installation groove 201 and is located inside the water storage box 200. The connector 330 is connected to the electrode plate 320 and is used to connect to a power source to supply power to the electrode plate 320. The connector 330 is located outside the water storage box 200.

[0058] In this embodiment, the mounting base 310 serves to fix the electrode plate 320 and ensure that the electrode plate 320 is correctly positioned inside the water storage box 200 to electrolyze the collected condensate, thereby producing electrolyzed water with cleaning and disinfecting properties. The connector 330 connects to the electrode plate 320 and serves to connect to an external power source to supply power to the electrode plate 320. The connector 330 is located outside the water storage box 200. This design facilitates the user's connection and disconnection of the power supply, while also avoiding direct contact with water, reducing the risk of electric shock and short circuits, and improving safety.

[0059] The mounting base 310 may also have threaded holes and be threadedly connected and fixed to the water storage box 200 by fasteners. The design of the mounting base 310 and the mounting groove 201 allows the electrolysis device 300 to be easily installed and removed from the water storage box 200, facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the electrolysis device 300.

[0060] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the electrolysis device 300 also includes a sealing element 340. The sealing element 340 is sleeved on the electrode plate 320. When the electrolysis device 300 is installed in the water storage box 200, the sealing element 340 blocks the mounting groove 201 to prevent water in the water storage box 200 from leaking out through the mounting groove 201, thereby reducing the risk of liquid leakage that may occur during the electrolysis process and improving the safety of the equipment.

[0061] The seal 340 can be made of rubber and has a certain degree of elasticity, so that it can tightly fill the gap between the electrode plate 320 and the mounting groove 201, thereby effectively preventing liquid leakage.

[0062] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a support member 220 is provided inside the water storage box 200. The support member 220 forms a support groove 221, which is used to accommodate and support the electrode plate 320 and position the electrode plate 320. The support groove 221 can fix the position of the electrode plate 320 and prevent it from shifting due to water flow or mechanical vibration during the washing and drying process, thereby improving the overall stability of the equipment.

[0063] For example, the support member 220 is located at the bottom of the water storage box 200, which can ensure that the electrolysis device 300 is in a low position inside the water storage box 200, thereby enabling effective electrolysis of water even when the water level inside the water storage box 200 is low.

[0064] In one optional embodiment, the support member 220 may be integrally formed with the water storage box 200; in another optional embodiment, the support member 220 may be detachably installed in the water storage box 200 by means of fasteners.

[0065] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the electrode plate 320 includes an anode plate 321 and a cathode plate 322 stacked together, and the anode plate 321 and the cathode plate 322 are separated by an insulating plate 323.

[0066] For example, the anode plate 321 is the electrode where the oxidation reaction occurs during electrolysis, and is typically made of a conductive material, such as platinum, platinum-plated titanium, graphite, or stainless steel. The cathode plate 322 is the electrode where the reduction reaction occurs during electrolysis, and its material selection is similar to that of the anode plate 321, or it can be the same conductive material. To prevent short circuits, the anode plate 321 and the cathode plate 322 are separated by an insulating plate 323. The insulating plate 323 is typically made of a material with good electrochemical stability and corrosion resistance, such as polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or other special plastics.

[0067] Multiple perforated structures can be formed on the anode plate 321 and the cathode plate 322 to increase the contact area with water and improve electrolysis efficiency. The perforated structures can be circular, square, triangular, or any other geometric shape, and this embodiment does not specifically limit them.

[0068] In one alternative embodiment, the anode plate 321 is located above the cathode plate 322, and the height of the anode plate 321 is higher than the height of the support member 220; or, the cathode plate 322 is located above the anode plate 321, and the height of the cathode plate 322 is higher than the height of the support member 220.

[0069] refer to Figure 4 As shown, by ensuring that the height of the anode plate 321 or cathode plate 322 exceeds that of the support member 220, direct conductivity between the anode plate 321 and cathode plate 322 through the support member 220 can be avoided, thereby preventing short circuits and ensuring the safe operation of the electrolysis device 300. Furthermore, unnecessary current paths are avoided, ensuring sufficient electrolysis of the water in the water storage box 200 and improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0070] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the water outlet pipe 210 is provided with a first branch pipe 211 and a second branch pipe 212. Both the first branch pipe 211 and the second branch pipe 212 are connected to the upper end of the door seal 110, and the outlets of the first branch pipe 211 and the second branch pipe 212 are located on both sides of the door seal 110.

[0071] Optionally, after the electrolysis device 300 electrolyzes the condensate in the water storage box 200, the condensate is extracted by a condensate pump placed in the water storage box 200. The condensate flows along the outlet pipe 210 to the tee joint for further diversion, and then flows along the first branch pipe 211 and the second branch pipe 212 to the nozzles on the left and right sides of the top of the door seal 110. The sprayed water can fall under the action of gravity, achieving uniform and comprehensive cleaning of the door seal 110, reducing the accumulation of dirt and lint. Simultaneous rinsing from both sides can enhance the cleaning effect, reduce the risk of mold and odor on the door seal 110, and uniform rinsing reduces residue on the door seal 110, making the equipment look cleaner and improving the user experience.

[0072] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the door seal 110 has a first mounting port 111 and a second mounting port 112 on both sides. The first branch pipe 211 is installed in the first mounting port 111 and the second branch pipe 212 is installed in the second mounting port 112.

[0073] In this embodiment, by providing dedicated first installation port 111 and second installation port 112, the branch pipe can be securely fixed in the appropriate position, reducing potential safety hazards caused by pipe loosening. This makes the installation and maintenance of the first branch pipe 211 and the second branch pipe 212 simpler and more modular. Furthermore, the design of the installation ports allows the water flow from the branch pipe to be directly aimed at a specific area of ​​the door seal 110, ensuring targeted and effective cleaning.

[0074] Optionally, the mounting ports and branch pipes on both sides can be arranged symmetrically to help achieve a uniform cleaning effect and avoid cleaning dead corners.

[0075] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the door seal 110 has a groove 113 along its circumference, the outlet of the water pipe 210 is connected to the groove 113, and the bottom of the groove 113 is provided with a water outlet 114, which is used to connect to the drain pipe 120 of the clothes dryer.

[0076] The design of the groove 113 ensures that water flow can be evenly distributed along the entire circumference of the door seal 110, thereby achieving thorough cleaning and reducing the accumulation of dirt and lint. The position and design of the outlet 114 ensure that the cleaned water can be discharged quickly and effectively, avoiding water stagnation at the door seal 110 and reducing the risk of mold and odor.

[0077] In traditional designs, condensate from dryers needs to be discharged through a separate drain pipe 120. However, in this embodiment, after rinsing off lint and other impurities from the door seal 110, the condensate is guided into the drain pipe 120 of the washing section and discharged from the equipment along with the washing wastewater, simplifying the structural design of the dryer.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the clothes drying device further includes: a liquid level sensor for detecting the liquid level height in the water storage box 200; and a controller electrically connected to the liquid level sensor and the electrolysis device 300, configured to activate the electrolysis device 300 after the liquid level height reaches a preset height.

[0079] The system, consisting of a liquid level sensor and a controller, automates the operation of the clothes drying equipment, eliminating the need for manual user intervention and improving ease of use. The liquid level sensor accurately detects the liquid level, ensuring that the electrolysis unit 300 starts at the appropriate time, thus avoiding resource waste.

[0080] The clothes drying device provided in this application includes a device body 100, a water storage box 200, and an electrolysis device 300. The device body 100 is equipped with a door seal 110. The water storage box 200 is connected to the device body 100 and is used to store water. The water storage box 200 is provided with a water outlet pipe 210, with the outlet of the water outlet pipe 210 facing the door seal 110. The electrolysis device 300 is installed in the water storage box 200 and is used to electrolyze the water in the water storage box 200. By setting the electrolysis device 300 in the water storage box 200 to electrolyze and sterilize the water, the sterilized electrolyzed water is sprayed onto the door seal 110 through the water outlet pipe 210, removing lint attached to the door seal 110 and sterilizing the door seal 110, preventing the door seal 110 from becoming moldy and producing a strong odor.

[0081] Secondly, this application also provides a control method for a clothes drying device, referring to... Figure 10 As shown, the method may include:

[0082] S1: Drying program begins, proceed to S2;

[0083] S2: Continuously monitor the water level in the water storage box, then proceed to S3;

[0084] S3: Has the condensate reached the set water level? If yes, proceed to S4; otherwise, proceed to S2.

[0085] S4: The electrolysis unit starts working after t1 seconds, then proceeds to S5;

[0086] S5: After t1 seconds, the heat pump washer-dryer motor stops working, and the washing tub stops rotating to prevent the clothes inside from getting wet during rinsing. The electrolysis device stops working, and the process proceeds to S6;

[0087] S6: The condensate pump is turned on to flush the door seal, then proceed to S7;

[0088] S7: Drain pump starts, proceed to S8;

[0089] S8: After t2 seconds, the condensate pump stops working and enters S9;

[0090] S9: The drain pump stops working, proceed to S10;

[0092] S11: Has the drying process ended? If yes, proceed to S12; otherwise, proceed to S2.

[0093] S12: End the program.

[0094] The above control methods ensure that the washer-dryer can automatically electrolyze the condensate and clean the door seal during the drying process, thereby maintaining the hygiene of the equipment, extending its service life, and improving the user experience.
