In this embodiment, the magnet 52 is fixedly disposed on the opposite surface of the fixing bracket 5 to the case 1, at this time, the case 1 has a magnetic position, and the fixing bracket 5 is attached to the magnetic position through the magnet 52 and is mounted on the case 1, so that the ultrasonic atomizer 2 can achieve the best humidification effect.

It should be noted that, when the ultrasonic atomizer 2 is manually stretched out of the opening, the fixing bracket 5 may be mounted at any position of the box 1 through the magnet 52, for example, at a magnetic position of a front panel of the box 1, or at a magnetic position of another panel of the box 1, and the stretchable waterproof hose 4 is only required to be long enough.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 2, a universal bellows 41 is disposed in the waterproof hose 4, the cable 21 connected to the ultrasonic atomizer 2 is disposed in the universal bellows 41, and the universal bellows 41 can be bent and shaped at will (i.e., can be bent to keep a bent state), so that when the ultrasonic atomizer 2 adjusts the spraying direction through the waterproof hose 4, the connection of the cable 21 is not affected.

The heat pump clothes dryer with the humidifying function further comprises an ultrasonic water storage box 6 arranged in the box body 1, the ultrasonic atomizer 2 is communicated with the ultrasonic water storage box 6 through a waterproof hose 4, and the ultrasonic water storage box 6 is communicated with the condensed water storage box 3 through a siphon 7. Can be with the comdenstion water siphon in the comdenstion water storage box 3 to the ultrasonic wave water storage box 6 in through the siphon effect to supply 2 atomizing uses of ultrasonic atomizer, through siphon 7, can also avoid the line bits that comdenstion water storage box 3 probably exists to get into ultrasonic wave water storage box 6, and then avoid ultrasonic atomizer 2 to damage or unable the use because of the line bits. In addition, through this ultrasonic wave water storage box 6, it can be when the comdenstion water storage box 3 pours, and the partial comdenstion water of reserve is for ultrasonic nebulizer 2 atomizing humidification uses.

In this embodiment, can also install humidity transducer on box 1, it can detect the humidity of box 1 external environment, and when it detects that the humidity of box 1 external environment is not higher than the default, can send the control system of signal for the heat pump dryer that has the humidification function, control system can send out the warning and inform the current indoor humidity value undersize of user, and the user can stretch ultrasonic atomizer 2 out of the opening, starts ultrasonic atomizer 2 afterwards, can carry out indoor humidification. When having the telescoping device, control system when receiving the signal that the humidity of the 1 external environment of box that humidity transducer sent is not higher than the default, it can control telescoping device drive ultrasonic nebulizer 2 and stretch out outside the opening, starts ultrasonic nebulizer 2 afterwards, can carry out indoor humidification.

It should be noted that, when the heat pump clothes dryer with humidification function of the present embodiment has an internet of things function, the humidity sensor may also be installed on other electrical appliances, and the internet of things control of the starting of the ultrasonic atomizer 2 for indoor humidification can also be realized.

It should also be noted that the opening may be a hole specially provided in the box body for spraying water mist, or may be an open cylinder door.

The heat pump clothes dryer with humidification function of this embodiment, outside 2 stretching out box 1 through the ultrasonic atomization ware that is used for the heat pump clothes dryer air washing, can carry out the humidification to 1 external environment of box, carry out the humidification with the comdenstion water moreover, it can consume a large amount of comdenstion water, and then need not the manual comdenstion water that falls of user, the comdenstion water has clean sanitary advantage in addition, ultrasonic atomization ware 2 also need not additionally to maintain, just can avoid the mineral substance deposit, user experience has been improved. Realize the humidification to 1 external environment of box through above-mentioned ultrasonic atomization ware 2, realized that one ware of ultrasonic atomization ware 2 is dual-purpose, need not additionally to purchase the humidifier, reduced user's purchasing cost.

Example two

The present embodiment provides a heat pump clothes dryer with a humidifying function, which adds a structure of a first ultrasonic atomizer 8 on the basis of the first embodiment, specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the first ultrasonic atomizer 8 is communicated with a condensed water storage box 3, and can be automatically started when the condensed water storage box 3 is opened, so as to humidify the environment outside the cabinet 1.

In this embodiment, the heat pump clothes dryer with the humidifying function further includes a power supply, when the condensed water storage box 3 is opened, the first ultrasonic atomizer 8 is connected to the power supply, and when the condensed water storage box 3 is closed, the first ultrasonic atomizer 8 is disconnected from the power supply. It should be pointed out that can adopt pressure switch 9 to judge whether comdenstion water storage box 3 opens, its principle is prior art, no longer gives details, when detecting comdenstion water storage box 3 and opening, 8 switch on of first ultrasonic atomization wares of control system control, 8 spraying of first ultrasonic atomization wares begin this moment, humidify the indoor environment. When detecting that the condensed water storage box 3 is closed, the control system controls the first ultrasonic atomizer 8 to be disconnected from the power supply.

In addition, when the humidity sensor detects that the humidity of the external environment of the tank 1 is not higher than the preset value, the condensed water storage tank 3 may be directly opened (which may be manually opened or automatically opened), and then the first ultrasonic atomizer 8 is powered on and starts spraying. The first ultrasonic atomizer 8 and the ultrasonic atomizer 2 protruding out of the opening may be simultaneously activated, and the humidifying operation may be simultaneously performed. Of course, the humidifying operation may be performed by only activating the ultrasonic atomizer 2 extending out of the opening as needed.

The rest of the structure of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and is not described again.

This embodiment is through addding first ultrasonic atomization ware 8, and it can improve the humidification effect, and the comdenstion water in can the make full use of comdenstion water storage box 3 moreover avoids the comdenstion water to be unable to use up and causes the waste.

It is obvious that the above embodiments of the present invention are only examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Numerous obvious variations, rearrangements and substitutions will now occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments.
