- CN 1978731 A discloses that a temperature sensor is disposed at a position, close to the air outlet, in the condenser.
- At least three conditions are required for accurate temperature detection; first, airflow at the upstream position of and around the temperature sensor is not condensed, so as to avoid measuring the moisture temperature by mistake; second, not be splashed by water spray stirred by the hot wind; and third, air movement is relatively stable and not less than a certain speed, so as to ensure effective heat transfer.
- the foregoing three conditions cannot be met at the same time; as a result, precision of automatic laundry drying detection cannot be reached.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a laundry treatment apparatus, where the laundry treatment apparatus has a condenser with an improved structure design.

In particular, the invention relates to a washing/drying machine.
- A laundry treatment apparatus of this generic type is disclosed in each of documents
WO 2013/088362 A1 , andUS 2006/0137105 A1 . - An existing drum washing machine generally has a function of laundry drying, and therefore is provided with a condenser accordingly.
CN 202116897 U discloses a structure of a water-cooled condenser. In addition, in order to determine a laundry drying degree in a washing machine, a temperature sensor is generally disposed at a position, relatively close to the air inlet or the air outlet of a condenser, on the washing drum of the washing machine, and is used for measuring the change rule of temperatures of drying airflow in the washing machine in the laundry drying process, so as to determine the laundry drying degree. For example,CN 1978731 A discloses that a temperature sensor is disposed at a position, close to the air outlet, in the condenser. At least three conditions are required for accurate temperature detection; first, airflow at the upstream position of and around the temperature sensor is not condensed, so as to avoid measuring the moisture temperature by mistake; second, not be splashed by water spray stirred by the hot wind; and third, air movement is relatively stable and not less than a certain speed, so as to ensure effective heat transfer. At present, in solutions disclosed in the prior art, the foregoing three conditions cannot be met at the same time; as a result, precision of automatic laundry drying detection cannot be reached. - An objective of the present invention is to provide a laundry treatment apparatus, where the laundry treatment apparatus has a condenser with an improved structure design.
- In order to achieve the foregoing objective, the present invention therefore provides a laundry treatment apparatus, according to claim 1, including a tub; a drum used for containing laundry and disposed in the tub; and a heat exchange device conducted and connected to the tub through a main pipe, and used for cooling hot and humid air that enters the heat exchange device, where a branch passage through which hot and humid air flows into the heat exchange device from the tub is further disposed between the tub and the heat exchange device, wherein the main pipe and the branch passage are separately in communication with and connected to the tub, and a temperature sensor is disposed in the branch passage. Also, a first joint between the branch passage and the heat exchange device is provided with a first air inlet, and in the vertical direction, the first air inlet is located at a position that is higher than a bottom end of the heat exchange device by a predetermined distance. Further, a second joint between the branch passage and the tub is provided with a second air inlet, and in the vertical direction the position of the first air inlet is higher than the position of the second air inlet.
- The branch passage is by implication disposed on a position next to the main pipe of the heat exchange device, so that the hot and humid air from the tub is not affected by the heat exchange process in the heat exchange device when passing through the branch passage. For example, the hot and humid air is not affected by condensed water or a water-air mixture in the condensation process. In this way, the temperature sensor disposed in the branch passage can accurately detect the original temperature of the hot and humid air from the tub. In addition, the condensed water of the heat exchange device in the heat exchange process does not flow back into the branch passage, so as to prevent the temperature sensor from being wet, which again ensures accuracy of detecting the temperature of the hot and humid air by the temperature sensor. Therefore, the temperature sensor can accurately detect the temperature change of the hot and humid air in the laundry treatment apparatus without being interfered by other environmental factors, so as to accurately determine a laundry drying degree.
- In the heat exchange process, the condensed water gathers to flow towards the lowest portion of the main pipe of the heat exchange device, and the position of the first air inlet being higher than the lowest portion of the main pipe helps prevent the condensed water from flowing back into the branch passage, so as to avoid inaccurate temperature measuring caused by that the temperature sensor in the branch passage is affected.

- The foregoing laundry treatment apparatus may be a washing/drying machine, a drying machine, or another household appliance with a similar functional structure.
- The foregoing heat exchange device may be a water-cooled condenser or another condensing component with a similar functional structure.
- As a further improvement of the invention, the outside of the branch passage is covered by a thermal insulation layer so that the temperature in the branch passage is not affected by the environment outside the pipe.
- In an embodiment of the present invention, the thermal insulation layer is a mineral fiber layer or a foamed layer.
- As a further improvement of the invention, the thermal insulation layer is an asbestos layer or a foamed layer.
- The outside of the branch passage is covered by the thermal insulation layer, so that the environment inside the branch passage is not affected by the environment outside the branch passage, thereby ensuring reliability and accuracy of measuring the temperature in the branch passage by the temperature sensor in the branch passage.

- As a further improvement of the invention, the temperature sensor is disposed on the lower pipe wall of the branch passage.
- As a further improvement of the invention, the temperature sensor has a sensing portion and a base portion, and when the temperature sensor is installed on the lower pipe wall of the branch passage through the base portion, the sensing portion is away from the inner surface of the lower pipe wall by a predetermined distance.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a laundry treatment apparatus; -
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a cross section ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a heat exchange device. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , alaundry treatment apparatus 10 includes acase body 2, antub 4 installed in thecase body 2, and andrum 6, driven by a motor 8 and is rotatably installed in thetub 4, and used for containing, washing, and/or drying laundry to be treated. The drum wall of thedrum 6 is provided with a hole (not shown) that can be in communication with space of thetub 4. Thetub 4 is separately connected to twoends air passage 14, to form a circulation loop. Theair passage 14 includes anair blowing device 18 for facilitating air circulation, aheating device 19 for heating air, and aheat exchange device 20 used for performing cooling and dehumidification on air that passes through the heat exchange device. A main function of the heat exchange device 20is to exchange heat with hot and humid air that passes through theheat exchange device 20 and comes from thetub 4 and thedrum 6, and absorb heat in the air, so as to condense and separate moisture in the air. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , theheat exchange device 20 is in communication with thetub 4 through amain pipe 21, so that the hot and humid air passes through themain pipe 21 and enters theheat exchange device 20 for condensing. Meanwhile, abranch passage 22 for the hot and humid air to flow into theheat exchange device 20 from thetub 4 is further disposed between thetub 4 and theheat exchange device 20. A first joint between thebranch passage 22 and theheat exchange device 20 is provided with afirst air inlet 221, and thebranch passage 22 is in communication with thetub 4 through asecond air inlet 222. Atemperature sensor 30 used for measuring a temperature change of the hot and humid air is disposed in thebranch passage 22. Thebranch passage 22 is further disposed on a position next to themain pipe 21 of theheat exchange device 20, so that the hot and humid air from thetub 4 is not affected by the heat exchange process in theheat exchange device 20 when passing through thebranch passage 22, for example, the hot and humid air is not affected by condensed water or water-air mixture in the condensation process. In this way, thetemperature sensor 30 disposed in thebranch passage 22 can accurately detect the original temperature of the hot and humid air from thetub 4. In addition, the condensed water of theheat exchange device 20 in the heat exchange process does not flow back into thebranch passage 22, so as to prevent thetemperature sensor 30 from being wet, which again ensures accuracy of measuring the temperature of the hot and humid air by thetemperature sensor 30. Therefore, thetemperature sensor 30 can accurately detect the temperature change of the hot and humid air in the laundry treatment apparatus without being interfered by other environmental factors, so as to accurately determine the laundry drying degree. - The surface outside of the
branch passage 22 is further covered by a thermal insulation layer (not shown), so that the environment inside thebranch passage 22 is not affected by the environment outside thebranch passage 22, thereby ensuring reliability and accuracy of measuring the temperature in thebranch passage 22 by thetemperature sensor 30 in thebranch passage 22. The thermal insulation layer may be made from asbestos, foamed material, or another similar thermal insulation material. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , theheat exchange device 20 has acondensation portion 23 in which a condensation process occurs, and themain pipe 21 and thebranch passage 22 that are separately in communication with and connected to thetub 4. The hot and humid air that enters theheat exchange device 20 through themain pipe 21 and thebranch passage 22 is condensed and exchanges heat in thecondensation portion 23, and moisture in the hot and humid air is condensed to be separated from air, and falls to thebottom 24 of theheat exchange device 20. Seen from the vertical direction, thebottom 24 is generally set in the lowest portion of themain pipe 21, and condensed water flows back into thetub 4 along themain pipe 21. In order to prevent the condensed water from entering thebranch passage 22 to make thetemperature sensor 30 wet to cause inaccurate temperature measuring. See from the vertical direction, the vertical position of thefirst air inlet 221, by which thebranch passage 22 communicates with and connects to theheat exchange device 20, is higher than the vertical position of thebottom 24 of the heat exchange device. - See from the vertical direction, the vertical position of the
first air inlet 221 is higher than the vertical position of thesecond air inlet 222, so that thebranch passage 22 is extended upwards at a certain angle from thetub 4 to be connected to theheat exchange device 20. The first air inlet and the second air inlet are disposed in such a manner, so that the hot and humid air in thetub 4 can successfully pass through thebranch passage 22 to form air movement that is relatively stable and not less than a certain speed, and thetemperature sensor 30 can measure the original temperature of the hot and humid air, thereby ensuring accuracy of temperature measuring. Meanwhile, the water flow in thetub 4 is hard to flow into and pass through thebranch passage 22 to make thetemperature sensor 30 wet to affect accuracy of temperature measuring by thetemperature sensor 30. - Seen from the vertical direction, the
branch passage 22 includes anupper pipe wall 223 and alower pipe wall 224, thetemperature sensor 30 is installed and disposed on thelower pipe wall 224, and preferably thetemperature sensor 30 is a thermistor temperature sensor. Thetemperature sensor 30 has asensing portion 31 and abase portion 32, and when thetemperature sensor 30 is vertically installed on thelower pipe wall 224 of the branch passage through thebase portion 32 of thetemperature sensor 30, thesensing portion 31 of thetemperature sensor 30 is away from an inner surface of the lower pipe
wall 224 by a predetermined distance. In this way, even if water droplets enter thebranch passage 22 and drip on thesensing portion 31 of thetemperature sensor 30, the water droplets flow towards thebase portion 32 of thetemperature sensor 30 because of the action of gravity and do not remain in thesensing portion 31 of thetemperature sensor 30, which ensures properness and accuracy of temperature measuring by thetemperature sensor 30 to the greatest extent. - The size of the pipe diameter of the
branch passage 22 affects the speed of the hot and humid air when the hot and humid air passes; therefore, the pipe diameter of thebranch passage 22 must be within a proper range, so that air movement t is relatively stable and can passes through thebranch passage 22 at not less than a certain speed, thereby ensuring accuracy of temperature measuring by thetemperature sensor 30. Preferably, the pipe diameter of thebranch passage 22 is set in such a manner that the air speed in thebranch passage 22 is 3 m/s to 5 m/s in the working process of the laundry treatment apparatus. - The series of detailed description above is merely specific description of practicable embodiments of the present invention, but is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
