The embodiment of the disclosure provides a clothes dryer, which can dry wet clothes more quickly and shorten the waiting time of a user.
Referring to fig. 1 to 8, the clothes dryer provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cabinet 1, a cabinet door 2 air supply assembly 3, a heat pump module 4, and a radio frequency module 5.
The inside of the box body 1 is provided with a clothes drying cavity 11, and the clothes drying cavity 11 is communicated with the outside of the box body 1 through an opening 12. One or more air channels are arranged in the wall of the box body 1, and the air inlet and the air outlet of each air channel are communicated with the clothes drying cavity 11. The door 2 is provided in the opening 12, openable to communicate with the drying chamber 11, and closable to close the drying chamber 11. The air supply assembly 3 is arranged in the box body 1, can suck air from the clothes drying cavity 11 to form air flow, and can enable the formed air flow to be sent into the clothes drying cavity 11 again through one or more air channels. The heat pump module 4 is arranged in the box 1 and can dry the air flow in one or more air channels. The radio frequency module 5 is provided in the case 1, and can emit electromagnetic waves into the clothes drying chamber 11.
The heat pump module 4 in the clothes dryer provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can dry one or more air flows in the air duct, the air supply assembly 3 can suck air from the clothes drying cavity 11 to form air flows, the formed air flows enter the air duct and are dried by the heat pump module 4 and then are sent into the clothes drying cavity 11 again, and the dried air flows through wet clothes in the clothes drying cavity 11 and can take away moisture of the wet clothes to dry the wet clothes; the radio frequency module 5 in the clothes dryer can emit electromagnetic waves into the clothes drying cavity 11, and the electromagnetic waves are utilized to directly heat the moisture in the wet clothes so as to quickly gasify the moisture in the wet clothes, thereby greatly shortening the time required for drying the wet clothes. Therefore, the clothes dryer provided by the embodiment of the disclosure realizes clothes drying through the combination of the heat pump module 4 and the radio frequency module 5, so that wet clothes can be dried more quickly, and the waiting time of a user is shortened.
The basic principle of the heat pump module 4 for drying clothes is as follows: the water in the clothes to be dried is heated by the dry hot air flow so as to change the liquid water in the clothes to be dried into water vapor, and then the water vapor is taken away by the dry hot air flow, so that the effect of drying the clothes is achieved.
The basic principle of the radio frequency module 5 for drying clothes is as follows: for clothes to be dried, water molecules in water contained in the clothes are polar molecules, cloth or ornaments thereof are nonpolar molecules, the arrangement direction of the water molecules and other polar molecules can be changed along with the direction of the electric field in the electric field, and when the direction of the electric field is changed, the arrangement direction of the water molecules is also changed, so that when the water molecules and other polar molecules are in an alternating electric field, the molecular arrangement direction of the water molecules is turned over continuously along with the electric field, friction is generated, the friction of the molecules causes heat generation, and the water is quickly heated, so that the water is converted from a liquid state to a gas state.
Optionally, the case 1 includes a bottom wall 14, a top wall 15, a first side wall 16, a second side wall 17, and a back wall 18, where the bottom wall 14, the top wall 15, the first side wall 16, the second side wall 17, and the back wall 18 enclose the case 1.
Wherein, during normal use of the dryer, the bottom wall 14 is arranged opposite to the top wall 15, the bottom wall is positioned at the bottom of the dryer, and the top wall is positioned at the top of the dryer; the first and second sidewalls 16 and 17 are disposed opposite to each other, and the first and second sidewalls 16 and 17 are located at left and right sides of the dryer.
In some embodiments, the bottom wall 14 is provided with a first communication cavity 141 inside, and the bottom wall 14 is provided with a first through hole near the plate body of the clothes drying cavity 11. The top wall 15 is provided with a second communication cavity 151 inside, and the top wall 15 is provided with a second through hole on the plate body close to the clothes drying cavity 11. The air inlet of each air channel is communicated with the first communication cavity 141, and the air outlet of each air channel is communicated with the second communication cavity 151.
By the arrangement, the inner space of the bottom wall 14 and the top wall 15 can be fully utilized, so that the structure of the clothes dryer is more reasonable and compact. Meanwhile, the air supply assembly 3 sucks air from the bottom of the clothes drying cavity 11 to form air flow, and the formed air flow is re-sent into the clothes drying cavity 11 from the top of the clothes drying cavity 11, so that convection of the air flow in the clothes drying cavity 11 is facilitated, and clothes drying effect is improved. In addition, the dry air flow flows out from the top of the clothes drying cavity 11, and the dry air flow carries water vapor after passing through wet clothes, and the water vapor tends to move towards the bottom of the clothes drying cavity 11 under the action of gravity, so that the clothes which are preliminarily dried above the wet clothes can be prevented from being wetted.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 6, the first through hole is a plurality of small holes.
In some embodiments, the air supply assembly 3 includes an air suction fan 31. The suction fan 31 is disposed in the first communicating chamber 141, and can suck air from the clothes drying chamber 11 through the first through hole to form an air flow, and the formed air flow can enter the air duct.
By providing the suction fan 31 in the first communicating chamber 141, the air sucked from the inside of the clothes drying chamber 11 can be formed into an air flow, and the formed air flow can enter the air duct.
Optionally, the suction end of the suction fan 31 faces the clothes drying cavity 11, and the discharge end of the suction fan 31 faces the air duct. By this arrangement, the air can be smoothly sucked from the clothes drying chamber 11 to form an air flow, and the formed air flow can be smoothly introduced into the air duct.
Optionally, the induced draft fan is a centrifugal fan. The centrifugal fan is provided with an impeller which rotates at a high speed, so that the air suction effect is good and the air can be driven to accelerate to form air flow. In addition, the centrifugal fan has the advantages of strong applicability, low noise, stable operation, convenient maintenance and the like.
The centrifugal fan is driven fluid machinery, and the centrifugal fan is used for increasing the pressure of gas and exhausting the gas by means of input mechanical energy. The centrifugal fan is based on the principle of converting kinetic energy into potential energy, and utilizes an impeller rotating at high speed to accelerate gas, then decelerate and change flow direction, so that kinetic energy is converted into potential energy (pressure).
In some embodiments, the air supply assembly 3 further includes an air box 33, where the air box 33 is disposed at a side of the first communicating chamber 141 near the clothes drying chamber 11, and the air box 33 communicates with the clothes drying chamber 11 through the first through hole. The suction end of the air suction fan 31 is disposed inside the bellows 33, and the output end of the air suction fan 31 is disposed outside the bellows 33 and is located in the first communication cavity 141.
So set up, can keep apart the suction end and the output of induced draft fan 31, avoid induced draft fan 31 induced draft and air-out to interfere with each other, be favorable to making the gas in the dry clothing chamber 11 get into induced draft fan 31 more evenly, and can reduce induced draft fan 31's air-out loss, guarantee the amount of wind that gets into the wind channel. Meanwhile, the bellows 33 is arranged at one side of the first communicating cavity 141, which is close to the clothes drying cavity 11, so that the storage cavity in the first communicating cavity 141 is relatively airtight, and a certain protection effect can be achieved on the electric appliance in the storage cavity. For example, water or particles in the drying chamber 11 may be prevented from directly entering the storage chamber. The storage chamber refers to a portion of the first communication chamber 141 excluding the bellows 33.
In some embodiments, the air supply assembly 3 further includes an air supply fan 32. The air blower 32 is disposed in the second communicating chamber 151 and located in the second through hole, and can uniformly send the air flow in the air duct into the clothes drying chamber 11. By providing the air blower 32 in the second communicating chamber 151, the air flow in the air duct communicating with the second through hole can be uniformly fed into the clothes drying chamber 11.
In some embodiments, the blower fan 32 is a passive disturbance fan. The air suction fan 31 sucks air from the clothes drying cavity 11 to form air flow, and the formed air flow enters the air duct, so that the pressure in the clothes drying cavity 11 can be lower than the pressure in the air duct, the first communication cavity 141 and the second communication cavity 151; at the second through hole, the pressure difference between the second communicating chamber 151 and the clothes drying chamber 11 can drive the passive disturbance fan to rotate. In this way, the air flow after drying can be made to enter the drying chamber 11 more uniformly.
The passive disturbance fan does not need to be electrified, and the passive disturbance fan is driven to rotate through the pressure difference at the two sides of the passive disturbance fan.
In some embodiments, the first side wall 16 of the case 1 is provided with a first air channel 161, the second side wall 17 is provided with a second air channel 171, and the back wall 18 is provided with a third air channel 181. The air inlets of the first air channel 161, the second air channel 171 and the third air channel 181 are all communicated with the first communication cavity 141, and the air outlets of the first air channel 161, the second air channel 171 and the third air channel 181 are all communicated with the second communication cavity 151. By the arrangement, the inner space of the wall body in the box body 1 can be fully utilized, the air supply area of the air duct is increased, and the air quantity entering the clothes drying cavity 11 is improved. Meanwhile, the structure of the clothes dryer can be more compact.
In some embodiments, the heat pump module 4 includes an evaporator 41, where the evaporator 41 is disposed at an air inlet of one or more air ducts to dehumidify and dry the air flow. The evaporator 41 dries the air flow into a dry air flow, which helps to increase the drying speed. If the air flow is saturated with water vapor, the air flow cannot carry away the water vapor in the drying chamber 11, and thus the wet laundry cannot be dried.
It will be appreciated that the evaporator 41 is at a lower temperature, and the water vapor in the gas flowing through the evaporator 41 is separated from the gas by condensation, so as to dehumidify and dry the gas flow.
In some embodiments, the evaporator 41 is disposed in the first communication chamber 141. By the arrangement, the air flow can be dried before entering the air duct, so that the air duct can be prevented from being polluted, and unnecessary waste can be avoided. For example, to improve the drying effect of the air flow on wet clothes, the air flow is heated in the air duct, and if the water vapor is not separated from the air flow before entering the air duct, the water vapor in the air flow is heated while the air flow is heated, so that not only is unnecessary waste caused, but also the difficulty of later separation is increased. Meanwhile, the evaporator 41 is disposed in the first communication chamber 141 in the bottom wall 14, so that the condensed water is conveniently cleaned by a user. In addition, the provision of the evaporator 41 in the first communicating chamber 141 can also avoid occupying excessive length and width dimensions in the casing 1.
Optionally, a water pan is provided at the bottom of the first communication chamber 141. The condensate water that separates out can be collected through the water collector, the condensate water is avoided flowing to ground.
In some embodiments, the output of the suction fan 31 is directed toward the side of the evaporator 41. By this arrangement, the air flow output from the suction fan 31 directly flows through the evaporator 41, and the drying effect of the evaporator 41 on the air flow can be improved.
Alternatively, the evaporator 41 is disposed in the storage chamber in the first communication chamber 141 and connected to the output end of the suction fan 31. By this arrangement, the drying effect of the evaporator 41 on the air flow can be improved, and the interference between the air suction and the air discharge of the air suction fan 31 can be avoided.
Alternatively, the suction fan 31 is vertically disposed, and the evaporator 41 is located at the lower side of the suction fan 31. By the arrangement, the drying effect of the evaporator 41 on the air flow can be guaranteed, and meanwhile, the arrangement of the evaporator 41 and the air suction fan 31 is more reasonable, so that the size of the clothes dryer is reduced.
In some embodiments, the heat pump module 4 further includes a condenser 42, the condenser 42 being disposed in one or more of the air ducts for heating the air flow within the one or more air ducts. The condenser 42 is capable of heating the dry gas flow in the air duct to change the dry gas flow into a dry hot gas flow. The dry hot air flow has higher temperature, can heat the moisture in the wet clothes, and improves the evaporation rate of the moisture in the wet clothes; meanwhile, the dry hot air flow is drier, more water vapor can be carried, and the dry hot air flow is beneficial to accelerating and improving the clothes drying speed.
It will be appreciated that the temperature of the condenser 42 is relatively high and the dry air flow in the duct is heated to a dry air flow through the condenser 42.
In some embodiments, the condenser 42 is disposed vertically. By this arrangement, the contact area between the air flow and the condenser 42 can be increased, and the heating effect of the condenser 42 on the air flow can be improved. At the same time, the space occupied by the condenser 42 can be reduced, so that the structure of the evaporator 41 is more compact.
In some embodiments, the condenser 42 is disposed in the air duct at an end near the air outlet. By the arrangement, heat dissipation of air flow in the flowing process can be avoided, and the temperature of air flow entering the clothes drying cavity 11 can be improved.
In some embodiments, the condenser 42 is located at an upper portion of the first air channel 161 and/or the second air channel 171 and/or the third air channel 181.

In some embodiments, the radio frequency module 5 further comprises a circulator. The circulator is disposed at the signal emitting end of the solid-state power amplifier element 51 to prevent reflected electromagnetic wave energy from entering the signal emitting end of the solid-state power amplifier element 51. By the arrangement, reflected electromagnetic wave energy can be prevented from entering the signal emitting end of the solid-state power amplifier element 51, and the reliability of the solid-state power amplifier element 51 is improved.
For example, if no circulator is provided, the reflected electromagnetic wave energy is almost entirely returned and enters the solid state power amplifying element 51 to be converted into heat energy in a state where the clothes drying chamber 11 is empty, which has a great influence on the reliability of the solid state source.
In some embodiments, the radio frequency module 5 further comprises a matching unit 54. The matching unit 54 is disposed on the solid-state power amplifier element 51, and is configured to adjust an impedance of the radio frequency module according to the reflected power, so that electromagnetic wave energy generated by the solid-state power amplifier element 51 is matched with a cavity load.
Only if the matching between the radio frequency module 5 and the cavity load is realized, the electromagnetic waves can be guaranteed to be fully and uniformly radiated into the clothes drying cavity 11, otherwise, the electromagnetic waves can be directly reflected back to the solid-state power amplifier element 51, and the solid-state power amplifier element 51 is damaged.
The cavity load refers to the load of the clothes drying cavity 11, and the type, the number, the water content and the placement position of clothes in the clothes drying cavity 11 can influence the cavity load. The better the matching degree, the smaller the power of the reflected electromagnetic wave energy; the worse the match, the greater the power of the reflected electromagnetic wave energy.
In some embodiments, matching unit 54 includes a matching link 541, a plurality of inductors 542, and a plurality of switches 543. The matching link 541 is connected in series to the radio frequency link of the solid state power amplifying element 51. A plurality of inductors 542 are connected in series to the matching link 541. The plurality of switches 543 are in one-to-one correspondence with the inductors 542, the switches 543 are connected in parallel with the corresponding inductors 542, the corresponding inductors 542 can be short-circuited to connect out the matching link 541 by turning on the switches 543, and the corresponding inductors 542 can be connected into the matching link 541 by turning off the switches 543. By adjusting the number of inductors 542 connected to the matching link 541, the matching degree between the rf module 5 and the cavity load can be adjusted.
In some embodiments, the radio frequency module 5 further comprises a power monitoring module and a controller.
The power monitoring module is used for measuring the transmitting power and the reflecting power of the solid-state power amplifier element 51.
The signal input end of the controller is in signal connection with the power detection module so as to acquire transmitting power and reflected power; the control output end of the controller is connected with the switches 543 to control the state of each switch according to the received transmitting power and the reflected power of the solid-state power amplifier element 51, so as to adjust the matching degree between the radio frequency module 5 and the cavity load.
Wherein, the transmitting power refers to the power for generating electromagnetic wave energy; reflected power refers to the power that reflects electromagnetic wave energy.
Since the clothes drying chamber 11 can dry a plurality of clothes at the same time, when the types and the number of the clothes are different, the matching degree between the radio frequency module 5 and the chamber load is different, and in order to always have the optimal matching degree between the radio frequency module 5 and the chamber load, the matching unit 54 is added to the solid-state power amplifier element 51. When the rf module 5 starts to operate, the best matching mode is found by using the smaller transmission power and the different combinations of the switches 543 in the matching unit 54, and then the operation is performed by using the larger transmission power. Meanwhile, in the running process of the radio frequency module 5, a matching monitoring threshold is set, and when the matching monitoring threshold exceeds the threshold, the matching unit 54 is reused to adjust the matching degree, so that the normal running of the radio frequency module 5 is ensured. When the combined state of the switch 543 of the matching unit 54 is kept unchanged, as the drying of the clothes proceeds, the moisture in the clothes to be dried is reduced, which results in poor matching degree between the radio frequency module 5 and the cavity load, and by monitoring the changing process, the drying state of the clothes to be dried can be monitored, so that the intelligent control of the drying end is realized.
In some embodiments, the control output of the controller is connected to the plurality of switches 543 to control the state of each switch according to the received transmit power and the reflected power of the solid state power amplifier element 51, so as to adjust the matching degree between the rf module 5 and the cavity load, including:
when the reflected power is greater than the reflected power threshold, controlling one or more switches to be closed so as to reduce the inductance number of the access matching link 541, and obtaining a variation value of the reflected power;
under the condition that the change value of the reflected power is reduced, continuously controlling one or more switches to be closed so as to reduce the number of the inductors 542 connected into the matching link 541 until the change value of the reflected power is smaller than a preset change threshold value;
and in case that the variation value of the reflected power becomes larger, controlling one or more switches to be opened to increase the number of inductances connected to the matching link 541 until the variation value of the reflected power is smaller than a preset variation threshold.
The reflected power threshold is greater than or equal to 25% of the input power, and may be specifically adjusted according to the actual design of the matching link 541.
