The following describes the operational circumstances in the said structure.At first, in the washing stage, in water filling in bucket 103 under the state of closing draining valve 117, stop water filling behind the water level of arrival regulation, the rotary barrel 104 that is driven packed into clothing 114 and laundry water by drive unit 108 rotates.Under the action of centrifugal force that produces along with rotation, the laundry water between rotary barrel 104 and the bucket 103 rises along the inwall of bucket 103, sprinkles water in rotary barrel 104 from the top of rotary barrel 104 again, circulates.Like this, by making laundry water pass clothing 114 and with its washing.

At this moment, though there is laundry water to flow in the exhaust duct 134, because exhaust duct 134 is connected with heat dump air channel 135 on than also high position, the upper end of bucket 103, laundry water can not enter in the heat dump air channel 135.Laundry aqueous corrosion, the line bits in the laundry water that heat dump 130 entered so can not take place the situation that heat dump 130 takes place to stop up occurs.In other words, exhaust duct 134 is connected with the also high place of fill level of heat dump air channel 135 than washing the time.In addition, the rinse stage that after washing, carries out, though similarly make rotary barrel 104 rotations that clothing 114 rinsings are clean in bucket 103 after the water filling with washing step, washings can not enter in the heat dump 130 yet.In the water smoking, open draining valve 117, outside machine, carry out draining from scupper hose 119 after, drive rotary barrel 104 rotation at a high speed of the clothing 114 of having packed into by drive unit 108, dewater.

At drying stage, when making compressor 141 operation of heat pump assembly, refrigerant is compressed, and is circulating between radiator 131, not shown throttling arrangement and heat dump 130 under the effect of pressure.In radiator 131, refrigerant is emitted heat because of being compressed, and refrigerant becomes low pressure because of being reduced pressure by throttling arrangement in heat dump 130, thereby absorbs heat.Air blast 110 is also worked this moment, and the warm braw that the heat release by radiator 131 has been heated is admitted in the rotary barrel 104 from air inlet 113 by air entry flexible pipe 112.Be located at impeller 106 rotation under drive unit 108 drives in the rotary barrel 104, clothing 114 is stirred up and down.

Send into warm braw in the rotary barrel 104 and when the gap of passing between the clothing 114, capture wherein moisture, under dampness, pass exhaust outlet 115, exhaust outlet flexible pipe 116, the exhaust duct 134 of bucket 103 bottoms, remove the bits that go offline by air filter screen 136 and wait foreign matter, arrive heat dump air channel 135.Such warm moist air is seized sensible heat and latent heat wherein when passing heat dump 130, dehumidify, and is separated into dry air and dehumidifying water.Dry air enters in the radiator air channel 138 through circulating line 139, becomes warm braw once more after being heated by radiator 131, flows to air blast 110, circulates.

On the other hand, below being sent to forcibly under the effect of the air flow of dehumidifying water in heat dump air channel 135 that forms in heat dump 130 dewfall, arranged outside machine through scupper hose 119 from the floss hole 137 of bottom.Like this, by using heat pump assembly, the heat that heat dump 130 is sucked is reclaimed by refrigerant, carry out heat release again at radiator 131 places, can can be applied with heat more than the energy of input in the compressor 141 to clothing 114, thus can cripetura drying time, and save the energy.

By adopting above structure, even the whirling vibration of rotary barrel 104 causes bucket 103 also to vibrate, because air inlet flexible pipe 112 and exhaust outlet flexible pipe 116 can be crooked, the vibration of bucket 103 can not be directly delivered on the heat pump assembly yet, so such vibration effect can not cause the pipeline connecting portion of heat pump assembly loosening, can not cause that pipeline resonance causes fatigue damage yet.

Particularly, the rotating shaft of the sort of rotary barrel 104 in the present embodiment is in the longitudinal type clothes washer-dryer of vertical direction, the vibration of the horizontal direction that the swing during rotary barrel 104 rotation produces and be contained in clothing 114 in the rotary barrel 104 and these two kinds of vibrations of vibration of the vertical direction that the weight of water produces will affact on the bucket 103 simultaneously, the Oscillation Amplitude of bucket 103 is big, and vibrational waveform is complicated again.Therefore, connect air channel between bucket 104 and the heat pump assembly, can play the effect of the vibration that reduces heat pump assembly greatly, thereby can improve durability and reliability significantly by adopting retractile air inlet flexible pipe 112 and exhaust outlet flexible pipe 116.
