Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and specifically to a condensation channel for a drying device and a drying device. [Background technology]
[0002] Drying equipment refers to machines that can dry clothes using hot air. Drying equipment mainly includes washer-dryers, clothes dryers, and hair dryers.
[0003] Take the washer-dryer as an example. It is an intelligent piece of equipment that combines the functions of rinsing, spin-drying, and drying simultaneously. It has special advantages such as good cost performance, high space utilization, and the hassle-free combination of washing and drying, making it widely popular among users in the current home appliance market.
[0004] Currently, the issue of self-cleaning lint in washing machines and dryers remains a major challenge facing the industry. The constant friction of clothes against the inner tube generates lint and fuzz, and these lint impurities circulate through the system with the airflow, causing them to get caught on and clog various parts of the drying system. If the lint is not removed in a timely manner, it can clog the air duct and fan, reducing the cross-sectional area of the airflow and resulting in a decrease in airflow, which can affect the effectiveness of drying clothes.
[0005] In conventional technology, a filter mesh is often installed in the middle of the air circulation path to block lint generated by drying clothes. However, the structural area where the filter mesh is installed is limited, so the filter mesh is not very effective at blocking lint.
[0006] Therefore, the field needs new technical solutions to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, that is, the problem that the air dust and the fan of the conventional drying equipment are easily clogged with lint. [Means for solving the problem]

The flow dividing structure faces the air intake port, and the flow dividing structure is installed so that the gas entering from the air intake port is divided into a first air flow and a second air flow, and the first air flow and the second air flow can enter the first arc-shaped structure and the second arc-shaped structure along the tangential direction of the first arc-shaped structure and the tangential direction of the second arc-shaped structure, respectively, so that the first air flow can rotate and rise along the first arc-shaped structure, the left side wall, and the left portion of the rear side wall, and the second air flow can rotate and rise along the second arc-shaped structure, the right side wall, and the right portion of the rear side wall.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the condensation channel for the drying equipment, a cleaning nozzle is installed in the condensation channel, and the nozzle of the cleaning nozzle is directed toward the inner wall of the condensation channel.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the condensation channel for the drying equipment, the jet ports are plural in number and jet in different directions.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the condensation channel for the drying equipment, the water-blocking structure is installed on the front wall, has a triangular shape, and its center line overlaps with the center line of the dividing structure, so as to ensure uniform distribution of the cooling water.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the condensation channel for the drying equipment, the water-blocking structure is a water-blocking protrusion formed on the front side wall.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the condensation channel for the drying equipment, a first arc-shaped guide structure and a second arc-shaped guide structure are further installed on the rear wall, so that the first air flow and the second air flow can smoothly flow to the first arc-shaped structure and the second arc-shaped structure, respectively.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the condensation channel for the drying equipment, the flow dividing structure is installed symmetrically and has a center line overlapping with a center line of the air intake port so that the amounts of the first air flow and the second air flow are approximately equal.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the condensation channel for the drying equipment, the diverting structure includes a first arc-shaped diverting portion, one end of which is smoothly connected to the first arc-shaped structure, and a second arc-shaped diverting portion, one end of which is smoothly connected to the other end of the first arc-shaped diverting portion and the other end of which is smoothly connected to the second arc-shaped structure.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the condensation channel for the drying equipment, a main water guide tank and a sub-water guide tank are installed on the front side wall, the number of the sub-water guide tanks is two, the top ends of the two sub-water guide tanks are both connected to the bottom end of the main water guide tank, and the bottom ends of the two sub-water guide tanks are respectively connected to the two water-blocking structures located in the double spiral channel.
[0017] In a second aspect, there is further provided a drying facility including the condensation channel described above.
[0018] When the above-mentioned embodiment is adopted, the condensation channel of the present invention includes two parallel and independent double-helix channels, and a water-blocking structure is installed on the side walls of the double-helix channels to disperse the cooling water flow into water droplets. This allows the water droplets to wash the side walls of the double-helix channels while the drying routine is being performed, and also dissolves lint in the circulating airflow into water droplets. In addition, a first arc-shaped structure, a second arc-shaped structure, and a flow-diverting structure are installed on the front side wall, and the left and right walls of the double-helix channel are both installed in an arc shape. The air entering from the air intake is divided into a first airflow and a second airflow by the flow-diverting structure, and the first airflow and the second airflow can rotate and rise. This installation lengthens the stroke of the first and second airflows in the condensation channel, thereby improving the cooling effect. The two rotating and rising airflows scatter the cooling water droplets, forming a "whirlwind" of water droplets in the condensation channel. By controlling the amount of cooling water, vortex-shaped water droplets with a certain liquid level are formed in the condensation channel. When the airflow passes through here, lint dissolves in the water droplets. At the same time, at the intake port where lint is most likely to accumulate, the constantly fluctuating water droplets can be used to wash the bottom of the condensation channel in real time, improving the filtering effect against lint.
[0019] Furthermore, a cleaning nozzle is installed in the condensation channel, and the nozzle of the cleaning nozzle faces the inner wall of the condensation channel. With this installation, after drying is completed, the cleaning nozzle injects a stream of cleaning water into the condensation channel to achieve the purpose of cleaning and purifying.
[0020] Furthermore, the number of jets is multiple and the jets are directed in different directions, which can improve the cleaning effect on the inner wall of the condensation channel.
[0021] Furthermore, a water-blocking structure is also installed on the front wall of the double spiral channel, and is triangular in shape, with its center line overlapping the center line of the dividing structure, ensuring uniform distribution of cooling water. This allows the two spiral airflows to rise with roughly equal amounts of cooling water droplets, resulting in more uniform dehumidification and filtration, and further improving the filtering effect on lint and the condensation effect on the airflow.
[0022] Furthermore, the airflow dividing structures are installed symmetrically, and the center line of the airflow dividing structures overlaps with the center line of the air intake. This installation allows the first and second airflows to have approximately equal volumes, so that the first and second airflows do not push each other after meeting near the rear wall, but instead flow parallel to each other toward the front wall through interaction, before entering the first and second arc-shaped structures installed on the front wall, respectively.
[0023] Furthermore, a first arc-shaped guide structure and a second arc-shaped guide structure are installed on the rear wall to allow the first airflow and the second airflow to flow smoothly toward the first arc-shaped structure and the second arc-shaped structure, respectively. With this installation, under the guiding action of the first arc-shaped guide structure and the second arc-shaped guide structure, the first airflow and the second airflow can be prevented from directly colliding in the forward direction, and when the first airflow and the second airflow meet, both tend to move toward the front wall, so that after the first airflow and the second airflow meet, they can interact with each other such that the first airflow moves toward the first arc-shaped structure and the second airflow moves toward the second arc-shaped structure.
[0024] In addition, the present invention further provides a drying equipment in the above-mentioned aspects, which adopts the above-mentioned condensation channel, and therefore has the technical effects of the above-mentioned condensation channel. Compared with conventional drying equipment, the drying equipment of the present invention can better filter lint and has higher drying efficiency. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0026] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the following embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0027] For example, although the embodiments described below are described in conjunction with a washer / dryer, the present invention can still be applied to other drying equipment, such as a clothes dryer, a hair dryer, etc., and such adjustments and modifications to the application targets do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and all should be limited within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0028] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, terms indicating directions or positional relationships, such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are merely for convenience of description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements must necessarily have a specific orientation or be configured and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are merely for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0029] It should be further explained that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "communicating," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, and may refer to, for example, a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.
[0030] Specifically, the washer / dryer of the present invention includes a box body, in which an inner cylinder, an outer cylinder, a condensation channel, a fan blower, a heater, and an air pipe are installed. The heater is attached to the air pipe, one end of the air pipe is connected to the outer cylinder and the other end is connected to an air outlet of the fan blower, and the fan blower is installed between the condensation channel and the air pipe.
[0031] When the washer / dryer is performing the drying routine, the fan blower allows air to circulate between the outer cylinder, the condensation channel and the heater. Under the heater, the dry air is heated to dry hot air, which then travels along the air pipe to the outer and inner cylinders, exchanging heat with the wet clothes in the inner cylinder and removing moisture from the clothes, forming relatively humid hot air which then enters the condensation channel. Through the condensation action of the condensation channel, the moisture in the relatively humid hot air condenses into water, and the condensed air becomes relatively dry cool air which then enters the air pipe, passes through the heater to be heated to dry hot air and enters the next cycle, repeating this process until the drying routine is completed.
[0032] It should be noted that in actual applications, an independent condenser may be provided, with a condensation channel formed within the condenser, and the condenser may be attached to the rear wall of the outer casing, or a housing and the rear wall of the outer casing may jointly surround and form the condensation channel. Such adjustments and modifications to the specific formation form of the condensation channel do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and all should be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0033] The following will take the example of providing an independent condenser and forming a condensation channel within the condenser to introduce the technical solution of the present invention.
[0034] First, referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, Fig. 1 is a structural schematic diagram (1) of the washer / dryer of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a structural schematic diagram (2) of the washer / dryer of the present invention.
[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the washer / dryer of the present invention includes a box body, in which an inner cylinder 4, an outer cylinder 5, a condenser, a fan blower 6, a heater (not shown), and an air pipe 7 are installed. The heater is attached to the air pipe 7, and one end of the air pipe 7 is connected to the outer cylinder 5 and the other end is connected to an air outlet of the fan blower 6. The fan blower 6 is attached between the condenser and the air pipe 7, and a condensation channel is formed in the condenser.
[0036] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 and 2 and then to Figures 3 to 5, the condenser of the present invention includes a main body 1 and a cooling water pipe 2, an exhaust port 18 is provided at the top of the main body 1 and the exhaust port 18 is connected to an air intake port of a fan blower 6, an air intake port 19 is provided at the bottom of the main body 1 and the air intake port 19 is connected to an outer cylinder 5 via a bellows tube 8, a condensation channel is formed inside the main body 1, the top of the condensation channel is connected to the exhaust port 18 and the bottom of the condensation channel is connected to the air intake port 19, and the cooling water pipe 2 is connected to the condensation channel.
[0037] When the washer-dryer is performing the drying routine, cooling water is supplied to the condensation channel through the cooling water pipe 2, and the wet, hot air discharged from the inner cylinder 4 and the outer cylinder 5 enters the condensation channel through the air intake 19 and exchanges heat with the cooling water in the condensation channel, causing the moisture in the wet, hot air to condense into water, and the condensed air becomes relatively dry, cool air, which is then discharged through the exhaust port 18, and the cooling water and condensed water are discharged through the air intake 19 at the bottom.
[0038] With continued reference to FIGS. 3-5, the condensation channel includes two parallel and independent double helix channels.
[0039] For example, the two double-helix channels are arranged in parallel on the left and right, and are independent of each other. There are two inlets 19, each connected to two double-helix channels. After gas enters the two double-helix channels through the inlets 19, it rotates and rises along the double-helix channels without interfering with each other, and is finally discharged through the outlet 18. There is only one outlet 18 installed in the condenser body 1, and the top ends of the two double-helix channels are both connected to the outlet 18.
[0040] It is important to note that in practical applications, two double spiral channels may each be provided with an independent exhaust port, and such flexible adjustments and modifications do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should all be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0041] It should be noted that the two double helix channels have the same structure, and the following explanation will continue to take the left-side double helix channel as an example.
[0042] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a water-blocking structure 10 is provided on the inner wall of the double spiral channel. When the cooling water that flows into the double spiral channel reaches the water-blocking structure 10, it is dispersed into droplets. The droplets can wash the inner wall of the double spiral channel while performing a drying routine, and can also dissolve lint in the circulating airflow. The lint then flows out of the air intake 19 together with condensed water and is finally discharged from the machine through a drain pipe.
[0043] This installation allows the condenser to not only condense but also filter lint, reducing the constant circulation of lint in the drying system, "purifying" the lint-laden airflow, reducing the phenomenon of lint getting caught and adhering to various parts of the drying module, and alleviating the situation where lint clogs the drying air duct.
[0044] It should be noted that in actual applications, the waterproof structure 10 may be installed as structures such as waterproof ribs, waterproof blocks, and waterproof plates, and any adjustments or changes to the specific structural form of such waterproof structure 10 do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention, and all should be limited to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0045] Continuing to refer to Figures 4 and 5, a first arc-shaped structure 11, a second arc-shaped structure 12, and a diversion structure 13 located between the first arc-shaped structure 11 and the second arc-shaped structure 12 are installed on the front wall of the double spiral channel, the diversion structure 13 is located below the water-blocking structure 10, and the left and right walls 14 and 15 of the double spiral channel are both installed in an arc shape, with both ends of the left wall 14 smoothly connected to the left ends of the first arc-shaped structure 11 and the rear wall 16, respectively, and both ends of the right wall 15 smoothly connected to the right ends of the second arc-shaped structure 12 and the rear wall 16, respectively.
[0046] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 4 and 5, the air intake 19 is installed on the rear wall 16 of the double spiral channel, and the air diverting structure 13 faces the air intake 19. With this arrangement, the gas entering through the air intake 19 collides with the air diverting structure 13, and the airflow is divided into two airflows, which are referred to as a first airflow and a second airflow, by the air diverting structure 13. The first airflow flows through the first arc-shaped structure 11 in a direction approximately tangential to the first arc-shaped structure 11. The second airflow is caused to enter the second arc-shaped structure 12 along a direction substantially tangential to the second arc-shaped structure 12, and under the driving force of the subsequent airflow, the second airflow can rotate counterclockwise and rise along the second arc-shaped structure 12, the right wall 15 and the right part of the rear wall 16.
[0047] The double helix channel includes two gas channels: a first gas channel consisting of the first arc-shaped structure 11, the left side wall 14, and the left portion of the rear wall 16; and a second gas channel consisting of the second arc-shaped structure 12, the right side wall 15, and the right portion of the rear wall 16. After gas enters the double helix channel from the intake port 19, it is divided into a first air flow and a second air flow by the flow dividing structure 13. The first air flow can rotate and rise along the inner wall of the first gas channel, and the second air flow can rotate and rise along the inner wall of the second gas channel.
[0048] The condenser of the present invention creatively installs a flow dividing structure 13 on the front wall of the double spiral channel. The flow dividing structure 13 divides the gas entering through the intake port 19 into a first airflow and a second airflow, and causes the first airflow and the second airflow to rotate and rise independently. By rotating and rising the first airflow and the second airflow, the stroke of the first airflow and the second airflow in the condensation channel is lengthened, thereby improving the cooling effect.
[0049] In addition, the two rotating and rising air currents scatter the cooling water droplets, forming a "whirlwind" of water droplets in the condensation channel. By controlling the amount of cooling water, a vortex of water droplets with a certain liquid level is formed in the condensation channel. When the air current passes through this, the lint dissolves in the water droplets. At the same time, at the intake port 19, where lint is most likely to accumulate, the constantly changing water droplets are used to wash the bottom of the condensation channel in real time, improving the filtering effect against lint. After the routine operation becomes stable, the amount of cooling water entering and exiting the condensation channel reaches a dynamic balance.
[0050] 6 and 7, the water shielding structure 10 is preferably installed near the top end of the flow dividing structure 13. By installing the water shielding structure 10 near the top end of the flow dividing structure 13, the cooling water can encounter two spiral air currents immediately after being dispersed, thereby achieving better lint filtering and condensation effects.
[0051] Furthermore, this type of installation allows the water-blocking structure 10 to be separated from the exhaust port 18, preventing water droplets from flying out from the exhaust port 18 to the fan blower, and also preventing water droplets from being carried by the airflow into the inner tube 4, which would result in a decrease in drying efficiency.
[0052] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the diversion structure 13 preferably includes a first arc-shaped diversion section 131 whose left end is smoothly connected to the first arc-shaped structure 11, and a second arc-shaped diversion section 132 whose left end is smoothly connected to the right end of the first arc-shaped diversion section 131 and whose right end is smoothly connected to the second arc-shaped structure 12.
[0053] The gas entering through the air intake port 19 collides with the diversion structure 13 and is divided into a first air flow and a second air flow, with the first air flow flowing along the first arc-shaped diversion section 131 to the first arc-shaped structure 11 and the second air flow flowing along the second arc-shaped diversion section 132 to the second arc-shaped structure 12.
[0054] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, it is preferable that the airflow dividing structure 13 is installed symmetrically, and the center line of the airflow dividing structure 13 overlaps with the center line of the air intake port 19 .
[0055] This arrangement allows the first and second air flows to be approximately equal in volume, so that after meeting near the rear wall 16, the first and second air flows do not push each other away, but instead flow together in parallel toward the front wall under interaction, and then enter the first arc-shaped structure 11 and the second arc-shaped structure 12, respectively, installed on the front wall.
[0056] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a first arc-shaped guide structure 161 and a second arc-shaped guide structure 162 are installed on the rear wall 16 of the double spiral channel, and it is preferable that under the guiding action of the first arc-shaped guide structure 161, the first airflow can flow smoothly to the first arc-shaped structure 11, and similarly, under the guiding action of the second arc-shaped guide structure 162, the second airflow can flow smoothly to the second arc-shaped structure 12.
[0057] With this installation, under the guiding action of the first arc-shaped guide structure 161 and the second arc-shaped guide structure 162, the first airflow and the second airflow can be prevented from directly colliding in the forward direction. When the first airflow and the second airflow meet, the movement tendency of the first airflow and the movement tendency of the second airflow are both toward the front wall. Therefore, after the first airflow and the second airflow meet, they can interact so that the first airflow moves smoothly toward the first arc-shaped structure 11 and the second airflow moves smoothly toward the second arc-shaped structure 12.
[0058] It should be noted that, to ensure that the first and second airflows can rotate and rise independently, a partition may be provided in the double spiral channel, the front of which is smoothly connected to the first arc-shaped structure 11 and the second arc-shaped structure 12, respectively, and the rear of which is connected to the left and right parts of the rear wall 16, respectively. The partition divides the double spiral channel into two independent chambers, allowing the first airflow to rotate and rise along the inner wall of the left chamber, and the second airflow to rotate and rise along the inner wall of the right chamber.
[0059] More preferably, the rear wall 16 of the double spiral channel is also arcuate. For example, as shown in Fig. 5, the rear wall 16 includes two arcuate sections, with both ends of the left arcuate section smoothly connected to the left wall 14 and the first arcuate guide structure 161, and both ends of the right arcuate section smoothly connected to the right wall 15 and the second arcuate guide structure 162.
[0060] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, a main water guide tank 171 and a sub-water guide tank 172 are installed on the front wall of the double spiral channel. It is preferable that there are two sub-water guide tanks 172, and the top ends of the two sub-water guide tanks 172 are both connected to the bottom end of the main water guide tank 171, and the bottom ends of the two sub-water guide tanks 172 are respectively connected to two water-blocking structures 10 located in the double spiral channel.
[0061] When the washer-dryer is performing the drying routine, cooling water is supplied to the double spiral channel by the cooling water pipe 2, and after entering the main water guide tank 171, the cooling water flows downward along the main water guide tank 171 and then flows into the two sub-water guide tanks 172, respectively, and thereby flows into the two double spiral channels. When the cooling water flows to the waterproof structure 10, it is dispersed into water droplets.
[0062] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the water-blocking structure 10 is also installed on the front wall of the double spiral channel, and is preferably triangular in shape, with its top end aligned with the bottom end of the sub-water guide tank 172 and its center line overlapping the center line of the flow dividing structure 13, so as to ensure uniform distribution of the cooling water.
[0063] This arrangement allows the two spiral airflows to rise with roughly equal amounts of cooling water droplets, resulting in more uniform dehumidification and filtration, and further improving the filtering effect on lint and the condensation effect on the airflow. The water-blocking structure 10 is preferably a water-blocking protrusion formed on the front wall.
[0064] 3 and 4, the condenser of the present invention further includes a cleaning nozzle 3 installed in the condensation channel, and the nozzle 31 of the cleaning nozzle 3 preferably faces the inner wall of the condensation channel. After drying is completed, the cleaning nozzle 3 injects a stream of cleaning water into the condenser to achieve the purpose of cleaning and purifying.
[0065] 8, it is more preferable to have a plurality of nozzles 31 that spray in different directions. By providing a plurality of nozzles 31 that spray in different directions, the cleaning effect on the inner wall of the condenser can be improved.
[0066] Although the technical solutions of the present invention have been described above in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, those skilled in the art will readily understand that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and all such modified or substituted technical solutions are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
