The axial air inlet of the centrifugal impeller 7 is led to the opening of the right end face of the cavity of the roller 3, and the air outlet of the flow passage of the peripheral wall of the volute 8 is led to the machine body air outlet 6 which penetrates through a round hole of the rear cover 5 of the box body and is fixed. The air outlet 6 and the volute 8 may be integrally formed.
When the motor 9 drives the roller 3 and the centrifugal impeller 7 to rotate, under the negative pressure caused by the rotation of the centrifugal impeller 7, the air outside the machine sequentially passes through the air inlet 13, the barrier 1, the electric heater 2, the cavity of the roller 3, the centrifugal impeller 7 and the volute 8 and is discharged to the air outlet 6 of the machine body. The clean hot air flow filtered by the grating 1 and heated by the electric heater 2 sweeps the clothes 32 turned in the cavity of the rotary drum 3 to dry, and the generated damp and hot air is discharged out of the machine body through the machine body air outlet 6.
The drum dryer according to embodiment 1 of the present application is an improvement of the conventional basic structure shown in fig. 1, mainly in that the centrifugal impeller 7 and its volute 8, and the belt pulley 91, belt and belt pulley 31 for driving the centrifugal impeller are removed, and the space left for setting the rotary dehumidification mechanism is specifically:
a) As shown in fig. 2, between the cabinet back 5 of the dryer housing 12 and the bottom of the drum 3, the filter screen 102, the heating surface of the condenser 104, and the left and right end surfaces of the desiccant rotor 105 are arranged in this order from the rear opening of the drum 3 along the axial direction of the drum 3.

b) As shown in fig. 5, the flow section of the desiccant rotor 105 in the axial direction of the drum 3 is divided into a large sector-shaped hygroscopic region and a small sector-shaped regeneration region, each having a flow passage:
the main fan 7 is arranged at the opening of the back plate 5 of the clothes dryer box body, the air inlet of the main fan is led to the opening near the front cover 4 at the right end of the roller 3 through an air duct, and the filter screen 117 is arranged;
the air outlet of the regeneration circulating fan 110 sequentially passes through the electric heater 109, the right end face and the left end face of the regeneration zone of the dehumidification runner 105, and the cooling surface of the condenser 104, and then returns to the air inlet of the regeneration circulating fan 110;
c) As shown in fig. 6, a temperature controller 106 is arranged in the air inlet channel of the main fan 7 and is used for detecting and controlling the temperature of the air flow of the clothes drying; a temperature controller 108 is arranged at an air flow inlet of the regeneration zone of the dehumidification rotating wheel and is used for detecting and controlling the temperature of regenerated air flow; a temperature and humidity sensor 103 is arranged at the upstream of the heating surface of the condenser 104 and is used for detecting and controlling the clothes drying condition; a water tank 114 for collecting condensed water generated from the condenser 104, a water level sensor 103 for detecting and controlling a water level of the water tank 114;
d) As shown in fig. 7, the dryer controller 112 with a single chip microcomputer as a core detects signals from the temperature controller 106, the temperature controller 108, the temperature and humidity sensor 103 and the water level sensor 103, and controls the operations of the motor 9, the wheel motor 111, the main fan 7, the regenerative cycle fan 110 and the electric heater 109 according to a set program.
According to the above structure, the negative pressure generated by the main fan 7 in the inner cavity of the drum 3 drives the ambient air to enter from the filter screen 102 arranged on the back plate 5, and sequentially flows through the cooling surface of the condenser 104, the PTC heater 116, the left end face and the right end face of the moisture absorption region of the desiccant rotor 105, and enters the inner cavity of the drum 3 through the left end opening of the drum 3. When the motor 9 drives the drum 3 to rotate, the drying hot air flow dehumidified by the moisture absorption area of the dehumidification rotating wheel 105 and heated by the PTC heater 116 sweeps the clothes turned in the inner cavity of the rotating drum 3 to dry the clothes, and the generated damp and hot air is sucked by the main fan 7 under negative pressure from the back plate 5 and then is discharged to the environment. The air outlet of the regeneration circulation fan 110 sequentially passes through the electric heater 109, the left end face and the right end face of the regeneration zone of the dehumidifying rotor 105, and the cooling surface of the condenser 104, and then returns to the air inlet of the regeneration circulation fan 110.
