Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a technical field of household appliances, especially to a washing-drying machine.
  • a compressor adopted in a washing-drying machine usually is a vertical compressor.
  • the washing-drying machine in the related art has a large height due to the space occupation of the vertical compressor in the height direction.
  • the compressor unit, two components (namely the condenser and the evaporator) and other units may be designed separately, which seriously influences a production efficiency of the washing-drying machine and is inconvenient for the after-sales maintenances.
  • the present disclosure aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art to at least some extent. Accordingly, one objective of the present disclosure aims to provide a washing-drying machine which is convenient to be mounted and has a high space utilization.
  • the washing-drying machine includes: a main body provided with a washing drum therein and a guiding assembly thereon, in which the guiding assembly is communicated with the washing drum to form an airflow loop; and a clothes drying device including a horizontal compressor, a condenser and an evaporator, in which the horizontal compressor, the condenser and the evaporator are connected in series to form a clothes drying loop and the evaporator is connected with the guiding assembly.
  • the horizontal compressor is chosen for the clothes drying device, and also, a traditional mounting manner of the horizontal compressor is changed, such that the space occupied by the horizontal compressor is controlled effectively and an overall height of the clothes drying device is lowered, thus further decreasing a height of the washing-drying machine, and realizing an integrated top-set design of the clothes drying device with less influence on the height of the washing-drying machine.
  • washing-drying machine may further have the additional technical features as followed.
  • the guiding assembly includes an air inlet duct, a filter, an accommodating cavity and an air return duct connected in series in turn, and the air inlet duct and the air return duct are communicated with the washing drum respectively.

  • the mounting manner of the horizontal compressor 121 is optimized and the space is sufficiently used, which provides a favorable condition for the top-set design of the clothes drying device 120 in the washing-drying machine 100.
  • the condenser 122 and the evaporator 123 are disposed in the accommodating cavity 115, and the evaporator 123 is located upstream of the condenser 122 along an airflow direction in the guiding assembly.
  • the air may be condensed by the evaporator 123 firstly, and then be heated by the condenser 122.
  • At least one of the air inlet duct 113 and the air return duct 116 is a rubber hose.
  • the air inlet duct 113 may be the rubber hose, and thus, an arrangement manner of the air inlet duct 113 may be adjusted according to a reserved space, so that the space occupied by the air inlet duct 113 can be saved and a service life of the air inlet duct 113 can be prolonged to some extent.
  • the air return duct 116 may also be the rubber hose, and the specific materials of the air inlet duct 113 and the air return duct 116 are not limited in the present disclosure and may be selected suitably according to demands in a practical application.
  • an axis of the washing drum 111 may extend along a front and rear direction (such as a front and rear direction shown in Fig. 5 ), the air inlet duct 113 may be connected to a rear end of the washing drum 111, and the air return duct 116 may be connected to a front end of the washing drum 111.
  • airflow in the rear end of the washing drum 111 is guided to the clothes drying device 120 by the guiding assembly firstly, water vapor in the airflow is condensed and the airflow is heated again through the clothes drying device 120, and then the airflow returns to the front end of the washing drum 111.
  • the airflow returning to the front end of the washing drum 111 flows in the washing drum 111 and further to the rear end of the washing drum 111, thus completing an airflow circulation.
  • the airflow can circulate in the whole washing drum 111, so as to improve the efficiency and effect of drying the clothes, thereby making the clothes in the washing drum 111 dried rapidly.
  • the horizontal compressor 121 may be disposed in a top of the washing-drying machine 100.
  • the overall height of the washing-drying machine 100 can be lowered and the used space is compressed.
  • top-set horizontal compressor 121 is disposed adjacent to the condenser 122 and the evaporator 123, which can simplify the duct connection and improve the clothes drying efficiency.
  • a compressor base 130 may be disposed in the top of the washing-drying machine 100, and the horizontal compressor 121 may be mounted to the compressor base 130.
  • the compressor base 130 may be used to support and accommodate the horizontal compressor 121, thus improving the mounting stability of the horizontal compressor 121.
  • the condenser 122 and the evaporator 123 both may be disposed in the top of the washing-drying machine 100 (as shown in Fig. 1 ), and the condenser 122 and the evaporator 123 may further be disposed adjacent to the horizontal compressor 121 (referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 ).
  • a distance between the horizontal compressor 121 and the condenser 122 can be shortened, and also, a distance between the horizontal compressor 121 and the evaporator 123 can be shortened, so that the duct design is simple, therefore improving the producing efficiency of the washing-drying machine 100 to some extent.
  • componentization of the horizontal compressor 121, the condenser 122 and the evaporator 123 can be achieved due to the short distance between the horizontal compressor 121 and the condenser 122 as well as the short distance between the horizontal compressor 121 and the evaporator 123.
  • the horizontal compressor 121 can be disposed at the top or a bottom of the washing-drying machine 100 due to a small height of the horizontal compressor 121, which is greatly advantageous for space usage.
  • the horizontal compressor 121 may be disposed in the top of the washing-drying machine 100, which can shorten the distance between the horizontal compressor 121 and the condenser 122 as well as the distance between the horizontal compressor 121 and the evaporator 123, so that the duct design is simple, and the producing efficiency is high.
  • the horizontal compressor 121 has a slope angle ranging from 0° to 90° relative to a horizontal plane.
