[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0039] This application discloses an exhaust device for an integrated bathroom cabinet washing machine.

[0040] An exhaust device for an integrated bathroom vanity washing machine includes an outer drum 1, with an exhaust groove 2 on the inner wall of the outer drum 1. A sealing plate 3 is provided at the opening of the exhaust groove 2, forming an exhaust channel between the sealing plate 3 and the inner wall of the exhaust groove 2. The exhaust channel is provided with an air inlet and an exhaust outlet 11.

[0041] The exhaust trough 2 is pre-installed inside the outer drum 1. Then, the sealing plate 3 is placed at the opening of the exhaust trough 2 to form an exhaust channel. This improves the ease of forming the exhaust channel, saves installation steps, and reduces the overall cost of the machine. Since the exhaust channel is located inside the outer drum 1, and the air inlet and exhaust outlet 11 on the exhaust channel are far apart from each other, the time for hot and humid gas to move inside the exhaust channel is increased, and the residence time of hot air inside the outer drum 1 is increased. This facilitates raising the temperature of the clothes, accelerates the evaporation of moisture on the clothes, improves drying efficiency, reduces the overall drying time, and enhances the user experience.

[0042] Multiple mounting cylinders 4 are provided on the inner wall of the exhaust channel 2 along its length. A connecting hole 5 is provided on the sealing plate 3. A connecting bolt is provided in the connecting hole 5. The connecting bolt is threadedly connected to the mounting cylinder 4.

[0043] When forming the exhaust channel, the sealing plate 3 is placed at the opening of the exhaust groove and the sealing plate 3 is made to contact the mounting cylinder 4. The initial positioning is achieved by contacting the mounting cylinder 4, and the mounting cylinder 4 and the connecting hole 5 are made coaxial. Then, the bolt is passed through the connecting hole 5 and the connecting bolt and the mounting cylinder 4 are threaded together. The sealing plate 3 is pressed onto the mounting cylinder 4 by the bolt head.

[0044] The sealing plate 3 is provided with a positioning groove 81. The mounting cylinder 4 is inserted into the positioning groove 81. When the sealing plate 3 is installed at the exhaust groove 2, the mounting cylinder 4 is placed inside the positioning groove 81. The inner wall of the positioning groove 81 and the mounting cylinder 4 cooperate with each other, which further improves the convenience of coaxial alignment between the connecting hole 5 and the mounting cylinder 4.

[0045] The sealing plate 3 has a placement groove 6 on the side away from the mounting cylinder 4. The bolt head of the connecting bolt is placed inside the placement groove 6. After the connecting bolt and the mounting cylinder 4 are connected, the bolt head of the connecting bolt is placed in the placement groove 6, and the bolt head of the connecting bolt does not exceed the placement groove 6, so as to make the overall structure compact and reduce interference with other components. At the same time, the placement groove 6 monitors the connection status of the connecting bolt to determine whether the sealing plate 3 and the mounting cylinder 4 are correctly connected.

[0046] A flow divider 7 is provided between two adjacent mounting cylinders 4. The two ends of the flow divider 7 are connected to the adjacent mounting cylinders 4. The flow divider 7 divides the gas inside the exhaust channel, reduces the possibility of turbulence in the airflow inside the exhaust channel, reduces airflow separation and eddies, makes the gas flow more stable, and thus reduces noise.

[0047] Meanwhile, since the diversion strip 7 is connected to the mounting cylinder 4, the diversion strip 7 acts as a reinforcing rib, which improves the structural stability of the mounting cylinder 4 installed on the inner wall of the exhaust groove 2 and reduces the possibility of the mounting cylinder 4 and the inner wall of the exhaust groove 2 breaking when the connecting bolts are connected to the mounting cylinder 4.

[0048] The length of the sealing plate 3 is less than the length of the exhaust groove 2 to form an air intake, which improves the ease of forming the air intake. At the same time, it also makes it easier to clean the air intake.

[0049] The sealing plate 3 has a U-shaped baffle plate 8 on its side. The baffle plate 8 is placed inside the exhaust groove 2 and contacts the inner wall of the exhaust groove 2. When the sealing plate 3 is installed inside the exhaust groove 2, the baffle plate 8 is placed inside the exhaust groove 2 to further position the sealing plate 3 and improve the convenience of installing the sealing plate 3.

[0050] Meanwhile, since the baffle plate 8 is in contact with the inner wall of the exhaust channel 2, the possibility of gas leakage is reduced during the gas flow inside the exhaust channel.

[0051] The inner wall of the exhaust groove 2 has an arc surface 9 at the corner. The side of the baffle plate 8 away from the sealing plate 3 has an arc surface 9. When the baffle plate 8 is placed inside the exhaust groove 2, the arc surface 9 of the baffle plate 8 and the arc surface 9 of the inner wall of the exhaust groove 2 are in contact.

[0052] When the baffle plate 8 is placed inside the exhaust groove 2, the arc surface 9 on the outer wall of the baffle plate 8 guides the baffle plate 8, thereby facilitating the placement of the baffle plate 8 inside the exhaust groove 2. After the baffle plate 8 is placed inside the exhaust groove 2, the arc surface 9 on the baffle plate 8 and the arc surface 9 inside the exhaust groove 2 fit together, further reducing the possibility of gas leakage from the fitting point inside the exhaust channel.

[0053] A lightweight cleaning strip is provided on the inner wall of the exhaust channel, with one end of the cleaning strip located near the air inlet. The cleaning strip is made of a lightweight and breathable material; in this embodiment, the cleaning strip is a thin cotton cloth strip. When gas is discharged from the exhaust channel, the cloth strip swings under the action of airflow, and the swinging cloth strip cleans the exhaust channel.

[0054] The exhaust channel is designed in an arc shape, which facilitates extending its length. When exhaust stops, the arc-shaped inner wall of the exhaust channel allows a cloth strip to drape over it, blocking the exhaust and reducing the possibility of external impurities entering the exhaust channel and then the outer cylinder 1. When exhaust resumes, impurities are shaken off by the movement of the cloth strip and blown out with the airflow. The lightweight cloth strip also reduces noise from its movement. The cloth strip is secured to the inner wall of the exhaust channel with screws.

[0055] Meanwhile, since the cotton cloth strips have a certain adsorption effect in this embodiment, when odors in the bathroom enter the exhaust channel, the cotton cloth strips adsorb them, reducing the content of odors.

[0056] At the same time, the ventilation process facilitates the drying of the cotton fabric strips, reducing the possibility of the cotton fabric strips becoming moldy due to prolonged dampness.

[0057] The implementation principle of the exhaust device for an integrated bathroom cabinet washing machine in this application embodiment is as follows: First, hot and humid gas enters the exhaust channel from the air inlet, and then flows within the exhaust channel. Because the exhaust channel is arc-shaped and the air inlet and exhaust outlet 11 are far apart, the movement time of the hot and humid gas within the exhaust channel is prolonged, allowing the hot air to stay longer inside the outer drum 1, increasing the temperature of the clothes, accelerating the evaporation of moisture, improving drying efficiency, and reducing drying time. During the gas flow, the diverting strip 7 diverts the gas, reducing turbulence, airflow separation, and eddy current generation, making the gas flow smoother and reducing noise. Simultaneously, the diverting strip 7 acts as a reinforcing rib, improving the structural stability of the mounting drum 4. The baffle plate 8 contacts the inner wall of the exhaust groove 2, further positioning the sealing plate 3 to prevent gas leakage, and its arc surface 9 fits against the arc surface 9 of the inner wall of the exhaust groove 2, enhancing sealing. The cleaning strip swings under the action of airflow during exhaust, cleaning the exhaust channel. When exhaust stops, it rests on the inner wall of the outer drum 1 to prevent external impurities from entering. When exhaust resumes, the impurities are shaken off and discharged as the cleaning strip swings. The cotton cloth in the cleaning strip can absorb odors, reduce odor levels, and improve the user experience.

[0058] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
