The air outlet pipeline 4 is tightly attached to the roller 2 and arranged at the rear part of the roller 2 and extends from bottom to top, and the extending mode can reduce the overall height of the washing and drying integrated machine 1, so that the washing and drying integrated machine 1 can be conveniently placed below a table board. The air outlet duct 4 is connected at a first end 43 thereof to the air outlet of the drum 2 and at a second end 44 to the drying module 3. The sieve self-cleaning device 7 is arranged at the second end 44 of the air outlet pipe 4 and is connected to the tap water inlet pipe 5 of the washing and drying integrated machine 1 through the water guide pipe 11. The air outlet pipe 4 and the tap water inlet pipe 5 are disposed at both sides of the drum 2, and thus the water inlet 71 of the filter screen self-cleaning device 7 and the water guide pipe 11 of the tap water inlet pipe 5 are communicated to cross the drum 2. The water conduit 11 may be a rigid pipe or a hose. In other embodiments, the air outlet conduit 4 and the mains water inlet conduit 5 are arranged on the same side of the drum 2, so that the inlet opening 71 of the sieve self-cleaning device 7 and the mains water inlet conduit 5 can be connected on this side directly or via an adapter.

In the present embodiment, the outlet duct 4 has a flat cross section, so as to reduce the overall thickness of the integrated washer-dryer 1. Outlet duct 4 includes a first half-shell 41 and a second half-shell 42 to define a cavity therebetween. At a first end 43 of the air outlet duct 4, the second half-shell 42 has an air inlet (not shown) to connect to the air outlet 21 of the drum 2, and the first half-shell 41 has, at the end opposite the air inlet, preferably an arc-shaped inner surface 47 for guiding the air flow entering said cavity, preventing turbulence. At the second end 44 of the first housing half 41, an arc-shaped support plate 63 is provided, which is attached at a first end to the top panel 45 of the first housing half 41 and which extends into the cavity at a second end. The curved support plate 63 facilitates directing the filtered airflow to prevent turbulence. By means of the second end of the arc-shaped support plate 63, the sieve 6 is obliquely arranged within the cavity from the lower portion of the second half shell 42 to the upper portion of the first half shell 41, thereby dividing the cavity into an uncleaned space S1 and a cleaned space S2. The second housing half 42 is provided with a support rib 46 for supporting the screen 6, and prevents the screen 6 from being bent or broken due to an excessive airflow. Optionally, a support rib 46 is integrally formed on second half-shell 42, for example by 3D printing techniques.

All the air flow F entering the cavity from the air inlet at the first end 43 of the air outlet duct 4 first enters the uncleaned space S1, passes through the air inlet surface 61 and the cleaning surface 62 of the filter screen 6 in sequence, enters the cleaned space S2, and then is delivered to the drying module via the air outlet (not shown) at the second end 44 of the air outlet duct 4. Due to this arrangement of the screen 6, inclusions filtered on the screen 6 are mainly deposited on the air intake surface 61.

For cleaning the sieve 6, a sieve self-cleaning device 7 is provided at the second end 44 of the outlet duct 4. On the outer surface of the second end of the support plate 63 extending into the cavity, there is provided a recess capable of form-fitting with a plurality of protrusions on the outer surface of the nozzle 72 of the sieve self-cleaning device 7 to fix the nozzle 72 such that the water outlet 75 of the sieve self-cleaning device 7 is located at the top of the sieve 6 and at the side of the air intake surface 61. In other embodiments, the support plate may have other arrangements and shapes, for example in the form of a flat plate, as shown in fig. 5. A support plate 163 in the form of a flat plate is fixed at one end to the upper part of the first housing half 41 (e.g. integrally formed with the first housing half 41 or screwed thereto) and at the other end extends into the cavity to fix the top edge of the sieve 6 at the edge. Support plate 163 is provided with a mounting to sealingly fix nozzle 72 of strainer self-cleaning device 7 in position such that water outlet 75 of strainer self-cleaning device 7 is located at the top of strainer 6 and on the side of air intake surface 61.

The first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 of the outlet pipe 4 each have an arc-shaped section 49 starting from the first end and a straight section 48 connected to the arc-shaped section. The arc-shaped sections 49 of the first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 gradually widen from the first end 43 to the linear sections of the first half-shell and the second half-shell, respectively. The filter screen is arranged obliquely in the straight sections 48 of the first half-shell and the second half-shell and therefore has a larger filter area. The first and second housing halves 41, 42 are provided with outwardly projecting mounting portions 50 spaced apart at the edges along their lengths to secure the first and second housing halves 41, 42 together by screws to form a cavity. Optionally, a sealing ring is provided along the entire edge of the first half-shell 41 and/or the second half-shell 42 to improve the sealing of the cavity and prevent the leakage of hot and humid air.

Referring to fig. 2, the arc segment 49 extends substantially along one sixth of the outer circumference of the driving portion 22 of the drum 2. Optionally, the arc-shaped section 49 extends substantially along a quarter of the outer circumference of the drive portion 22 of the drum 2.
