AI Technical Summary
The existing washing machines with drying functions face issues of fluid flow obstruction due to the partial overlap of holes on the drum and tub surfaces, which are often blocked by the flange shaft during rotation, hindering efficient drying efficiency.
The washing machine incorporates a drum design with a cylindrical body having a drum back featuring recessed portions and porous plates coupled to openings, along with exhaust ports arranged at varying distances and widths, ensuring unobstructed fluid flow by positioning exhaust ports to avoid overlap with the flange shaft during rotation.
This design enhances fluid flow and improves drying efficiency by preventing blockages, allowing smooth air movement through the drum and tub, thus optimizing the drying process.
