In addition, in the embodiment, due to the arrangement of the air inlet, the new air in the inner tub 130 is supplemented in time, so that the first air inlet 122 does not need to be arranged on the outer shell 120 of the washing assembly 100, and the second air outlet 222 does not need to be arranged on the box body 220, so as to supplement the new air to the inner tub 130 through the water tank 200.

In one embodiment, the water tank 200 is disposed toward the first air outlet 121 of the direct air discharge duct; the first air outlet 121 is communicated with the cavity 230 of the water tank 200; after the drying is started, the damp and hot air in the direct air exhaust duct is introduced into the cavity 230, and the air cooled by the inner wall of the cavity 230 and/or the contained washing water is discharged out of the washing machine body 1. When the washing machine body 1 starts a drying program, the drying component 180 in the washing component 100 starts to perform drying, a heating element of the drying component 180 heats cold air to form hot air, the hot air is introduced into the inner drum 130 under the action of a fan of the drying component 180, and the hot air absorbs moisture in the laundry to form damp and hot air and then is discharged from the inner drum 130. For a conventional large washing machine body, the washing machine body is internally provided with a condenser to cool damp and hot air to form condensed water to be discharged, or air condensed by the condenser is heated by a heating element to form hot air to be recycled. For the mini washing machine, because the whole size is small, the inner space is small, and a condenser with larger size is difficult to accommodate, the direct exhaust duct is designed to directly exhaust the damp and hot air exhausted from the inner barrel 130 in the drying process into the external environment in a direct exhaust mode, and on one hand, the mode can increase the humidity and temperature of the environment where the mini washing machine is located, and influence the user experience and the service life of the mini washing machine; on the other hand, the discharged damp and hot air is easy to condense and hang beads on the outer wall of the mini washing machine, the visual sense and the user experience sense are poor, and the labor of a user is increased for cleaning the surface of the mini washing machine. The damp and hot air generated in the drying process of the inner barrel 130 is firstly introduced into the water tank 200, contacts the inner wall of the water tank 200 to be cooled and/or exchanges heat energy with the cold air of the cavity 230 and/or exchanges heat energy with the washing water in the cavity 230, part of damp and hot air is cooled to form condensed water to be converged into the washing water, the temperature of part of air is reduced to a certain degree and then is discharged to the external environment through the assembly position of the cover body 210 and the box body 220 of the water tank 200, and the influence of the discharged air on the humidity of the external environment in the drying process of the washing machine body 1 is reduced.

Further, a damper (not shown in the figure) is disposed at the first air outlet 121; when drying stops, the air door is closed to prevent the water vapor in the cavity 230 from entering the drying air duct. When the drying is stopped, the fan of the drying component 180 stops running, the air in the drying air channel and the cavity 230 can be exchanged, and because the cavity 230 is used for storing water, the stored water causes the cavity 230 to have certain humidity, in order to prevent the water vapor in the cavity 230 from entering the inner cylinder 130 through the drying air channel, the clothes which are easy to dry and finish in the inner cylinder 130 are wetted, the air door is arranged, and when the drying is stopped, the air door is closed, so that the drying air channel is communicated with the cavity 230 in a disconnection mode.

In one embodiment, the first air outlet 121 is disposed at the back of the outer shell 120 of the washing assembly 100, that is, the water tank 200 is disposed at the back of the washing assembly 100, so as to improve the symmetry of the front structure of the washing machine body 1 and improve the appearance; in addition, after the hot and humid air exhausted from the inner tub 130 is cooled to a certain degree by the inner wall of the water tank 200 or the cold air inside or the washing water contained therein, the air overflows from the gap at the assembling position of the cover 210 of the water tank 200 and the box 220, because the water tank 200 cools the hot and humid air in the cavity 230 naturally, the exhausted air still has a certain humidity at this time, the air with a certain humidity is exhausted from the washing machine body 1, and is scattered from the back of the washing machine body 1, if the water drops are formed by partial condensation, the air drops exist at the back of the washing machine body 1, the appearance is not influenced, the amount of the water drops is small, the natural evaporation is fast, and the influence on the humidity of the environment where the washing machine body 1 is located is not large.

In one embodiment, the drying assembly 180 is provided with an air inlet for introducing fresh air from the outside, and the air inlet is closed by a valve; the housing 120 of the laundry assembly 100 is provided with a first air inlet 122; the first air inlet 122 is communicated with the cavity 230 to introduce a part of air of the cavity 230 into the inner drum 130 of the washing machine assembly 100 to compensate for the pressure inside the inner drum 130. In the drying process, the damp and hot air in the inner cylinder 130 is continuously discharged, the air amount in the inner cylinder 130 is reduced, the pressure is lower than the outside, a state similar to vacuum is formed, the first air inlet 122 communicated with the cavity 230 is arranged on the shell 120, the air in the cavity 230 is introduced into the inner cylinder 130, and the air is supplemented to the inner cylinder 130 to compensate the reduction of the pressure in the inner cylinder 130.

Further, the box body 220 of the water tank 200 is provided with a second air inlet 221 and a second air outlet 222 to be respectively communicated with the first air outlet 121 and the first air inlet 122; the inner wall of the cavity 230 is provided with a baffle plate, and the baffle plate is located between the second air inlet 221 and the second air outlet 222. Since the moist and hot air is introduced into the cavity 230 from the first air outlet 121 through the second air inlet 221, in order to reduce the humidity of the moist and hot air, the moist and hot air passes through the second air outlet 222 and the first air inlet 122 in sequence, and then enters the inner cylinder 130 through the corresponding air duct, the humidity inside the inner cylinder 130 is increased. A baffle is disposed between the second air inlet 221 and the second air outlet 222 to prevent the moist and hot air introduced from the second air inlet 221 from flowing to the second air outlet 222.

Further, in one embodiment, the number of baffles is at least two; two adjacent baffles are staggered and distributed near the top and bottom of the cavity 230, respectively, to form a curved airflow channel. The hot and humid air discharged from the inner cylinder 130 enters the cavity 230, and exchanges heat to realize cooling except for contacting the inner wall of the cavity 230 and the washing water stored in the cavity 230, and when the hot and humid air circulates in the cavity 230, a part of the hot and humid air enters the airflow channel, contacts the baffle and exchanges heat with the baffle, so as to accelerate the cooling effect of the water tank 200 on the hot and humid air discharged from the inner cylinder 130. In addition, the second air inlet 221 and the second air outlet 222 can be well separated by the plurality of baffles, so that the hot and humid air in the cavity 230 is prevented from entering the inner barrel 130 again through the second air inlet 221. Specifically, as shown in fig. 13, fig. 13 is a schematic view illustrating a distribution relationship of a plurality of baffles on a first sidewall 223 of the water tank 200 having the second air inlet 221 and the second air outlet 222, the baffles may be disposed on the first sidewall 223, and another sidewall of the baffles may abut against an inner surface (not shown) of the water tank 200 opposite to the first sidewall 223. The number of baffles is five, including three first baffles 261, two second baffles 262. A first baffle 261 is disposed near the top of the cavity 230 and a second baffle 262 is disposed near the bottom of the cavity 230. Since the water tank 200 has a long and narrow shape and the cavity 230 has a curved shape in one embodiment, the width of the first blocking plate 261 is smaller than that of the second blocking plate 262. In addition, in an embodiment, the handle 211 is recessed in the cover 210 of the water tank 200, the top space of the cavity 230 is small, and the first blocking plate 261 is bent (not shown) to give way to the convex structure of the inner surface of the handle 211.

Further, the washing machine body 1 further includes:
