The drying module 3 is disposed above the drum, and includes a first air outlet 32 and a first air inlet 33, and is communicated with the air outlet of the drum through the first air inlet 33, and is communicated with the air inlet of the drum through the first air outlet 32. Based on this, the drying module 3 forms a circulation path with the drum 2, thereby achieving drying of the wet air circulating therein. In the drying mode, the wet air is guided from the drum 2 to the drying module 3 through the first air inlet 33 of the drying module 3, the drying module 3 dehumidifies and heats the wet air flow from the drum 2, and then the air flow, which becomes relatively dry and hot, is guided back to the drum 2 through the first air outlet 32 of the drying module 3, thus circulating to and fro, thereby accomplishing drying of laundry.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the drying module 3 includes a first drying module housing 310 and a second drying module housing 320, and a moisture absorbing and discharging member 300. The first drying module housing 310 is provided with a first moisture-absorbing and moisture-removing member accommodating area, the second drying module housing 320 is provided with a second moisture-absorbing and moisture-removing member accommodating area, and the first drying module housing 310 and the second drying module housing 320 are mounted and connected in a matched manner, so that a moisture-absorbing and moisture-removing member 300 accommodating cavity is formed between the first moisture-absorbing and moisture-removing member accommodating area and the second moisture-absorbing and moisture-removing member accommodating area. A gap is formed between the top surface of the moisture absorption and discharge member 300 and a portion of the top wall of the first drying module case 310 to form a first air flow path; a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the moisture absorption and removal member 300 and a portion of the bottom wall of the second drying module case 320 to form a second air flow path; the second air flow path, the moisture absorbing and discharging member 300, and the first air flow path form a circulation path.

Two second partitions 321 are radially disposed along the second drying module case 320 in the second moisture-absorbing and moisture-discharging member accommodating region to partition the second moisture-absorbing and moisture-discharging member accommodating region into a dehumidifying region and a regenerating region, and to partition the dehumidifying region and the regenerating region into a sector shape; therefore, the moisture absorbing and discharging member 300 is beneficial to continuously absorbing and desorbing moisture by circulating through the dehumidifying region and the regenerating region in the rotating process, so that the moisture absorbing and discharging member 300 has good water absorbing capacity all the time, and the moisture absorbing efficiency and effect are improved. Preferably, the dehumidification and regeneration zones are generally sector-shaped.

The first drying module housing 310 may be provided with a first moisture absorption and discharge member receiving area consisting of a top wall, a circumferential side wall, and two first partitions 311 corresponding to the upper housing radial side walls at the positions of the two second partitions 321 of the first drying module housing 310 to divide the first moisture absorption and discharge member receiving area into a dehumidifying area and a regeneration module mounting area; the first drying module housing 310 is disposed opposite to the recess structure of the second drying module housing 320, and when the first drying module housing 310 is connected with the second drying module housing 320 in a matched manner, the first moisture-absorbing and moisture-removing component accommodating area and the second moisture-absorbing and moisture-removing component accommodating area form a turntable accommodating cavity, and because the turntable accommodating cavity has air flow passing through, the first drying module housing 310 and the second drying module housing 320 can be in sealing connection. The moisture absorbing and discharging member 300 is located between the second partition 311 and the first partition 321, so that in order to prevent the circulating wet air flow and the regenerated air flow discharged from the drum from channeling each other, the second partition 321 and the first partition 311 can form a dynamic sealing effect with the moisture absorbing and discharging member 300, thereby being beneficial to the moisture absorbing and discharging member 300 to continuously absorb moisture and dry in the rotating process through the dehumidification area and the regeneration area, so that the moisture absorbing and discharging member 300 has good moisture absorbing capability all the time, and the moisture absorbing efficiency and effect are improved. Preferably, the dehumidification region and the regeneration module mounting region are generally sector-shaped.

The partition referred to herein means each individual partition disposed radially from the inner wall of the first drying module housing 310 or the second drying module housing 320 toward the center of the housing. The at least two spacers 311 and the at least two spacers 321 may be integrally formed or may be separately manufactured and installed in a manner that does not affect the definition of the spacers.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the drying module further includes: a regeneration module 31 coupled to the first drying module housing 310, wherein the first drying module housing 310 has a substantially fan-shaped regeneration module accommodating portion formed thereon; the regeneration module 31 is mounted on the regeneration module accommodating portion, the regeneration module 31 is located above the moisture absorbing and discharging member 300, and the regeneration module 31 is used for heating the regeneration air flow, for example, so as to desorb the moisture absorbed by the moisture absorbing and discharging member 300. The regeneration module 31 may include a heating assembly for heating the regeneration air flow, and the hygroscopic and dehumidifying member 300 passes through the dehumidifying and regenerating regions during rotation, thereby continuously performing a cycle process of adsorbing and desorbing moisture. Preferably, the heating assembly may employ an element having a heating function, such as a heating wire, a PTC heater, or the like.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, at least one diverting member 322 is further provided on the first drying module housing 310 or the second drying module housing 320, and the diverting member 322 is configured to divide the flow of the wet circulation air into the space. Specifically, one or more flow splitters 322 can be provided. When the flow dividing member 322 is two or more, it may be disposed in parallel so as to divide the space into a plurality of flow dividing regions. By arranging the flow dividing member 322 on the wall surface of the first drying module housing 310 or the second drying module housing 320, the wet circulating air flow flowing into the circulating passage can be divided, one part of the wet circulating air flow enters the area close to the center of the circle, and the other part of the wet circulating air flow enters the area close to the periphery of the turntable, so that the wet circulating air flow flowing into the circulating passage is more dispersed and uniform, the air flow and the turntable can be in contact with each other in a larger area, and the moisture absorption efficiency of the moisture absorption and removal component is improved.

As shown in fig. 3, the laundry treating apparatus provided by the present utility model further includes an air outlet duct 4, the air outlet duct 4 being connected to an air outlet of the drum 2 at one end and coupled to a first air inlet 33 of the drying module 3 at the other end.
