Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machines, and more specifically, to a pulsator washing machine with a drying function. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, washing machines have become increasingly common in daily life. As people's needs increase, the functions of washing machines are also becoming more diversified, no longer limited to washing and spinning. Some washing machines also have a drying function. Currently, most washing machines have their drying modules located on the cabinet, using air ducts to deliver air into the washing tub to dry the clothes. However, this means that the air needs to pass through the entire washing tub to reach the clothes for drying. The air duct is too long, consuming a lot of electricity, making maintenance inconvenient, and prolonging the washing and drying time, resulting in low drying efficiency. Moreover, installing the drying module on the washing machine cabinet increases the space between the washing tub and the washing machine, making the washing machine too bulky. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the drying efficiency of washing machines while simplifying the design of the drying device.

[0003] The prior art patent application CN202311798679.9 discloses a MINI washing machine with a drying function, including a tub assembly, a door seal, a drying tunnel assembly, a drying tunnel air inlet corrugated pipe, a return air corrugated pipe, and a return air box; the tub assembly includes a tub bottom and a tub lid, with a slot formed at the end of the tub lid away from the tub bottom, the door seal covering the outside of the slot formed on the tub lid, a return air port provided at the end of the tub bottom away from the tub lid, a return air corrugated pipe installed on the return air port, and an air inlet provided at the upper part of the tub bottom. The machine is equipped with a fan and an air inlet bellows. The drying tunnel assembly includes a drying tunnel insulation plate, a drying tunnel shell, a drying heater, and a drying tunnel outlet rubber hose. The drying tunnel shell is installed above the drying tunnel insulation plate, the drying heater is fixed inside the drying tunnel shell, and the drying tunnel outlet rubber hose is fitted onto the end of the drying tunnel shell. The other end of the drying tunnel outlet rubber hose is fitted with a drying tunnel connector, which is installed together with the door seal. A circular hole for installing the return air bellows is formed on the return air box at a position opposite to the return air bellows. Although this patent can transfer the moisture at the bottom of the drum to the top and then discharge it outside the machine, the humidity sensor is installed on the return air box and cannot accurately detect the humidity of the air discharged from inside the washing machine, thus reducing the accuracy and efficiency of the washing machine's drying function.

[0004] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content
