Background
Most of the clothes washing and drying machines on the market are cleaning appliances for automatically drying clothes by utilizing electric heat, and are important household appliances for areas with high air humidity and difficult clothes drying.

The drum-type clothes dryer generally comprises a box body, a drum system, a hot air system and a transmission and control system; the method is divided into an exhaust type and a dehumidification type according to the moisture discharge mode, wherein the exhaust type directly discharges high-temperature and high-humidity air formed by evaporating moisture in the machine to the outside of the machine, and the dehumidification type directly discharges the high-temperature and high-humidity air to the outside of the machine after the high-temperature and high-humidity air passes through a heat exchanger to generate condensed water.
The condensing drying system of drum washing machine is characterized by that in the circulating air channel a condenser is set, the water content in the wet clothes can be heated by hot drying air and changed into steam, and when the steam is passed through the condenser, the steam can be cooled into steam, and discharged to the exterior of washing machine, and the condensed drying air can be passed through fan and heater to become hot drying air, and can be blown over the clothes again until the water content in the clothes is completely changed into steam, then said steam can be condensed into water, and discharged so as to attain the goal of drying. In this process, the temperature and humidity of the hot air are decisive. The temperature of the hot air depends on the power of the heater, which is determined by the heat resistance of the fibers; the humidity of the hot air is the water vapor content, and the capacity of changing the water vapor into distilled water depends on the condensing capacity of the condenser, so that the drying efficiency is improved by improving the condensing capacity of the condenser. In the prior art, fan cooling or water spray cooling is generally adopted for the shell of the condenser and the outer surface of the hot air pipeline, and water is dispersed for cooling in the condenser or the air duct.

As shown in fig. 1, a heater 16 is provided inside the drying duct 17 of the washing and drying machine. When clothes are dried, firstly, the heater 16 is used for heating air, the hot air is driven by the fan 15 to enter the washing drum and heat moisture remained on the clothes into water vapor, the water vapor enters the condenser 1 under the driving of the fan 15 along with the hot air, the water vapor is condensed into liquid water in the condenser 1 and is discharged through the condensation water outlet 2 at the bottom of the condenser 1, and relatively dry air is heated by the heater 16 again and enters the washing drum to participate in the clothes drying cycle. After a certain time of circulation, the clothes are dried.
The condenser assembly of the present embodiment is shown in fig. 4, and comprises a condenser 1, a heat exchange pipe 4, a shower box 7 and the like. The upper part of the condenser 1 is provided with an air outlet 9, the air outlet 9 is connected with an inlet of a fan 15, the lower part of the condenser 1 is provided with an air inlet 8, and the air inlet 8 is connected with an air outlet of an outer barrel 13. The bottom of the condenser 1 is provided with a condensation water outlet 2 for discharging liquid water formed by the condensation of water vapor. The spraying box 7 is arranged at the upper part of the condenser 1. As shown in fig. 3, the heat exchange tubes 4 are bent into a multi-layer structure, the heat exchange tubes in each layer are bent into serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tubes 4, an interlayer gap is formed between every two adjacent layers of heat exchange tubes, the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tubes are arranged in a cavity inside the condenser 1, cooling water flows into the heat exchange tubes 4 through the liquid inlet 6 and flows through the liquid outlet 3 along an internal passage to be discharged, the cooling water fully exchanges heat with humid hot air flowing in through the air inlet 8 of the condenser 1 when flowing through the heat exchange tubes 4, water vapor carried by the humid hot air is condensed into liquid water, and the liquid water flows out of the condenser 1 through the condensation water outlet 2 and. In the whole condensation heat exchange process, the low-temperature liquid in the heat exchange tubes 4 of the condenser 1 flows downwards from the upper part, and the damp and hot air flows upwards from the lower part, so that the heat exchange efficiency can be improved.
Further, as shown in the schematic diagram of the heat exchange tube shown in fig. 5, the liquid inlet 6 and the liquid outlet 3 are respectively disposed at the upper end and the lower end thereof. The liquid inlet 6 is connected with a water inlet pipe of the washing and drying machine, the liquid outlet 3 is connected with a drain pipe of the washing and drying machine, and in some washing and drying machines with evaporator heat circulation, in order to achieve the condensation effect, the liquid inlet 6 can also be connected with other heat exchange liquid media, so that the purpose of filling flowing low-temperature liquid in the heat exchange pipe 4 is achieved.
The heat exchange tubes 4 are of a multilayer structure, the heat exchange tubes in each layer are bent into the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tubes 4, and an interlayer gap is formed between every two adjacent layers of heat exchange tubes, so that the heat exchange tubes have a large surface area, cooling water flowing through the heat exchange tubes can fully exchange heat with damp and hot airflow, and the condensing efficiency is good. In order to ensure the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube, the heat exchange tube 4 is made of copper, copper alloy, aluminum alloy or other materials with good heat conductivity. The outer diameter of the heat exchange tube is 2-15mm, and the preferred outer diameter of the heat exchange tube is 4-8 mm.
Meanwhile, the spraying box 7 is arranged at the upper part of the condenser 1 assembly, and the water flow flowing in from the water inlet pipe can be used for washing thread scraps possibly adhered to the heat exchange pipe. The heat exchange tubes 4 are of a multilayer structure, the heat exchange tubes in each layer are bent into the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tubes 4, and an interlayer gap is formed between every two adjacent layers of heat exchange tubes, so that the heat exchange tubes have a large surface area, cold water can fully exchange heat with damp and hot airflow when flowing through the heat exchange tubes 4, and the condensation efficiency is high. The clothes washing and drying machine using the condensing method can obviously improve condensing efficiency, greatly shorten clothes drying time and simultaneously has good energy-saving effect.
In the embodiment, particularly for the distribution of the heat exchange tubes 4, a mode that the outer diameter is unchanged, the thickness of the heat exchange tubes 4 is unchanged, the interlayer gap is unchanged, and the pitches of the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tubes 4 in the same layer are gradually increased from the outer side 19 to the inner side 18 is adopted. The distribution of the heat exchange tubes 4 is such that the density of the heat exchange tubes 4 near the outer side 19 is greater than the density of the heat exchange tubes 4 at the inner side 18, and the variation is a smooth transition.
This is adopted to facilitate the uniform flow of the hot and humid air in the condenser 1 more, and to increase the contact time and area of the hot and humid air with the heat exchange tubes 4. The condenser 1 is provided in the present invention as a cavity structure which is wide at the upper side and narrow at the lower side, and the lower part is bent to one side. In such a chamber structure, the flow of the hot and humid air is not uniform, i.e. the flow rate of the hot and humid air is much faster on the outer side 19 than on the inner side 18. This has the result that, on the one hand, the heat exchange tubes 4 on the outer side 19 of the condenser need to exchange more heat under the same conditions, so that the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tubes 4 on the outer side is reduced due to the temperature rise; on the other hand, since the hot and humid air flows mostly from the outer side 19, the heat exchange of the heat exchange tube at the inner side 18 is incomplete, the surface area of the heat exchange tube 4 is not fully utilized, and the condensing capacity of the condenser 1 is not used to the maximum extent.
Therefore, in the embodiment, that is, in the manner that the density of the heat exchange tubes 4 near the outer side 19 of the heat exchange tubes 4 is greater than that of the heat exchange tubes 4 at the inner side 18, on one hand, the number of heat exchange media in a unit area of the heat exchange tubes 4 at the outer side 19 is increased, so that the heat exchange rate is improved, and on the other hand, in the manner that the gaps at the outer side 19 are reduced, the damp and hot air has larger wind resistance when flowing at the outer side 19 side in the condenser 1, so that the air can uniformly flow in the cavity of the condenser 1 as much as possible, and the purpose of better utilizing the heat exchange media at the inner side 18 is. Finally, the condensing effect of the condenser is improved, and the clothes drying efficiency of the dry washing machine is improved.
Example 2
The difference between the present embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the thickness of the heat exchange tube is unchanged, the interlayer spacing of the center line of the heat exchange tube is unchanged, the pitch of the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tube 4 in the same layer is unchanged, and the outer diameter of the heat exchange tube is gradually reduced from the outer side 19 to the inner side 18.
Although the pitch of the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tubes in the same layer is unchanged by adopting the distribution mode of the heat exchange tubes 4, the outer diameter of the heat exchange tubes 4 is gradually reduced from the outer side 19 to the inner side 18, so that the gap between two adjacent heat exchange tubes of the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tubes 4 near the outer side 19 is smaller than the gap between two adjacent heat exchange tubes of the inner side 18, the density of the heat exchange tubes 4 near the outer side 19 is greater than that of the heat exchange tubes 4 near the inner side 18, and meanwhile, the surface area of the heat exchange tubes 4 near the outer side 19 is greater than that of the heat exchange tubes 4 near the inner side 18 due to the fact that the outer diameter of the heat exchange tubes 4 near the outer side 19 is greater than that of the heat exchange tubes 4 near the inner side 18, so that the heat. Meanwhile, the thickness of the heat exchange tube is kept unchanged, so that the process that the outer diameter of the heat exchange tube is gradually reduced is also the process that the inner diameter of the heat exchange tube is gradually reduced. This allows the heat exchange area between the low-temperature liquid flowing through the heat exchange tubes near the outer side 19 and the heat exchange tubes to be simultaneously made larger than the heat exchange area between the low-temperature liquid flowing through the heat exchange tubes near the inner side 18 and the heat exchange tubes. The heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tubes 4 at the outer side 19 through which the hot and humid air mainly passes is further improved.
Thus, on the basis of the principle of the embodiment 1, the purposes of further improving the condensation effect of the condenser and improving the clothes drying efficiency of the clothes washing and drying machine are achieved by further increasing the surface area of the heat exchange tube near the outer side 19 and the heat exchange area of the low-temperature liquid and the heat exchange tube inside.
Example 3
The difference between the present embodiment and the above embodiments is that in the present embodiment, the interlayer gap of the heat exchange tube 4 is fixed, the pitch of the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tube 4 in the same layer is fixed, the outer diameter of the heat exchange tube is not changed, and the inner diameter of the heat exchange tube is gradually reduced from the outer side 19 to the inner side 18.
Such a design meets the application environment where the size of the condenser shell is required. When the specification of the shell of the condenser is limited to a certain extent, the interlayer clearance of the heat exchange tubes 4 is fixed, the pitches of the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tubes 4 in the same layer are fixed, the outer diameters of the heat exchange tubes are not changed, and the inner diameters of the heat exchange tubes are gradually reduced from the outer side 19 to the inner side 18, so that the heat exchange area between the low-temperature liquid flowing in the heat exchange tubes near the outer side 19 and the heat exchange tubes is larger than that between the low-temperature liquid in the heat exchange tubes near the inner side 18 and the heat exchange tubes. Thereby also increasing the condensation efficiency of the outer side 19 of the condenser.
Example 4
The difference between the present embodiment and the above embodiments is that the interlayer gap of the heat exchange tube 4 in the present embodiment is fixed, the pitch of the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tube 4 in the same layer is fixed, the outer diameter of the heat exchange tube is not changed, and the inner diameter of the heat exchange tube is gradually reduced from the lower layer to the upper layer.
As shown in fig. 1 to 5, when drying clothes, the heater 16 heats air, the hot air is driven by the fan 15 to enter the washing tub and heats moisture remaining on the clothes into steam, and the steam enters the condenser 1 along with the hot air from the air inlet 8 connected to the air outlet of the outer tub 13 at the lower part of the condenser 1 under the driving of the fan 15. Meanwhile, cooling water flows into the interior of the heat exchange tube 4 through the liquid inlet 6 at the upper part of the condenser 1 and is discharged from the liquid outlet 3 at the lower part of the condenser 1 along the internal path, and the cooling water fully exchanges heat with the damp and hot airflow flowing in through the air inlet 8 of the condenser 1 when flowing through the heat exchange tube 4. In the whole condensation heat exchange process, the low-temperature liquid in the heat exchange tubes 4 of the condenser 1 flows downwards from the upper part, and the damp and hot air flows upwards from the lower part. Such treatment is intended to perform the heat exchange process more efficiently, but at the same time it leaves room for improvement.
During the exchange process, the heat exchange liquid in the heat exchange tube 4 continuously exchanges heat with the damp and hot air in the process of flowing downwards, and a large amount of heat is absorbed; meanwhile, the lower heat exchange tube 4 is closer to the air inlet 8 of the damp and hot air, and both of the two factors cause the condition that the temperature of the heat exchange tube 4 at the lower part of the condenser 1 is higher than that of the heat exchange tube 4 at the upper part. This results in a substantial reduction in the condensing effect at the bottom of the condenser, which in turn reduces the condensing effect of the condenser as a whole. And because the bottom condensation effect is not enough, a part of condensed water condensed from the upper part can not be discharged from the condensation water outlet 2, and the agitated damp and hot air is blown back to the washing machine again, thereby reducing the clothes drying efficiency of the washing and drying machine.
By adopting the design of the heat exchange tube, the interlayer clearance of the heat exchange tube 4 is fixed, the pitch of the snake-shaped spring-shaped heat exchange tube 4 in the same layer is fixed, the outer diameter of the heat exchange tube is unchanged, and the inner diameter of the heat exchange tube is gradually reduced from the lower layer to the upper layer. The problem that the condensing efficiency is low at the bottom of the condenser 1 is solved, and the different distribution of the inner diameter of the heat exchange tube 4 is changed, so that under the same appearance size, the heat exchange area of the heat exchange medium and the heat exchange tube in the heat exchange tube 4 at the bottom of the condenser 1 is larger than that of the heat exchange medium and the heat exchange tube in the heat exchange tube 4 at the upper part, the condensing effect of the condenser of the washing and drying machine is improved, and the clothes drying efficiency of the washing and drying machine is improved.
Example 5
The present embodiment is different from the above embodiments in that the thickness of the heat exchange tube 4 in the present embodiment is not changed, the interlayer spacing of the tube center line is not changed, the pitch of the serpentine spring-shaped heat exchange tube 4 in the same layer is not changed, and the outer diameter of the heat exchange tube is gradually reduced from the lower layer to the upper layer.
By adopting the design of the heat exchange tube of the embodiment, the inner diameter of the bottom heat exchange tube 4 is increased, so that the heat exchange area of the bottom heat exchange medium and the heat exchange tube is increased, and the heat exchange area of the bottom heat exchange tube 4 is also increased. Thereby achieving the purpose of enhancing the heat exchange efficiency of the bottom heat exchange tube 4 and avoiding the defect of the reduction of the condensation efficiency caused by insufficient heat exchange capacity of the bottom to a greater extent. Finally, the purposes of improving the condensing effect of the condenser of the washing and drying machine and improving the clothes drying efficiency of the washing and drying machine are achieved. The requirement of the present embodiment for a constant spacing between the layers along the tube centerline is mainly for the datum requirements in the fabrication and installation of such heat exchange tubes. Of course, the interlayer spacing of the heat exchange tubes is gradually reduced from top to bottom, but the influence on the smooth flowing of the damp and hot air blown in from the bottom in the condenser is avoided, and the change of the interlayer spacing does not increase the resistance of the air flowing in the vertical direction and does not influence the heat exchange efficiency.
Of course, the method for changing the distribution of the heat exchange area between the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange tube 4 and the heat exchange tube by changing the distribution of the inner diameter of the heat exchange tube 4 can also be applied to more application situations at the same time, and is not described herein again.

The length of the spray box 7 is the same as the length of the top of the shell 5 in the same direction.
The washing and drying machine can drop thread scraps from clothes in the washing and drying processes, the dropped thread scraps can reach a heat exchange pipe in a condenser along with circulating air flow, and part of the thread scraps are adhered to the heat exchange pipe. In order to solve the problem of accumulation of the thread scraps, the spraying box 7 is arranged at the upper part of the heat exchange tube 4 and used for washing the thread scraps adhered on the heat exchange tube 4. The upper end of the spraying box 7 is provided with a spraying box water inlet 10 for connecting a water inlet pipeline, and the lower end is provided with a plurality of spraying water outlets 11 for spraying flushing water flow to the heat exchange tube. The washed lint is discharged from the condensation drain port 2. The heat exchange tube in the heat exchanger has large contact area with air, and has a plurality of circuitous and spiral loops, so that spraying equipment with large flow and large coverage area is needed to achieve ideal spraying effect. In the embodiment, the length of the spraying box is set to be the same as the width of the widest part of the condenser, namely the spraying box is designed to increase the spraying effect, so that the generation of spraying dead corners is avoided to the maximum extent.
The aperture of the spray water outlet 11 is 1-10mm, preferably 2-5 mm. The shape of the spray water outlets can also be set to be square, rectangular or other shapes, and the distribution density of the spray water outlets 11 can also be adjusted to achieve a more optimal effect through an actual spray effect.
This embodiment utilizes rivers to wash the line bits of probably adhesion on the heat exchange tube, has not only avoided piling up the heat exchange efficiency who causes because of the line bits and has descended, has still reduced bacterial growing simultaneously, lets the internal environment of washing and drying the clothing machine healthier.
