The embodiments described herein with reference to drawings are explanatory, and used to generally understand the present disclosure, and shall not be construed to limit the present disclosure.
- In the following, a washing-
drying machine 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference toFig. 1 to Fig. 5 . - As shown in
Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 , the washing-drying machine 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes amain body 110 and aclothes drying device 120. - Specifically, referring to
Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 , themain body 110 is provided with awashing drum 111 therein and a guiding assembly thereon, in which the guiding assembly is communicated with thewashing drum 111 to form an airflow loop. Theclothes drying device 120 includes ahorizontal compressor 121, acondenser 122 and an evaporator 123 (referring toFig. 3 ), in which thehorizontal compressor 121, thecondenser 122 and theevaporator 123 are connected in series to form a clothes drying loop, and theevaporator 123 is connected with the guiding assembly. Thehorizontal compressor 121 is chosen for theclothes drying device 120, and thus a space occupation of the washing-drying machine 100 is reduced. - In the washing-
drying machine 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure, thehorizontal compressor 121 is chosen for theclothes drying device 120, and also, a traditional mounting manner of thehorizontal compressor 121 is changed, such that the space occupied by thehorizontal compressor 121 is controlled effectively and an overall height of theclothes drying device 120 is lowered, thus further decreasing a height of the washing-drying machine 100, and realizing an integrated top-set design of theclothes drying device 120 with less influence on the height of the washing-drying machine. - Referring to
Fig. 3 to Fig. 5 , the guiding assembly includes anair inlet duct 113, afilter 114, anaccommodating cavity 115 and anair return duct 116 connected in series in turn, and theair inlet duct 113 and theair return duct 116 are communicated with thewashing drum 111 respectively (referring toFig. 5 ). Thus, the guiding assembly is communicated with thewashing drum 111 to form the airflow loop, so that thewashing drum 111 is ensured to be clean. - Further, referring to
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 and combiningFig. 1 , theair inlet duct 113, thefilter 114, theaccommodating cavity 115 and thehorizontal compressor 121 are disposed in a top of themain body 110 and arranged in turn along a circumferential direction of themain body 110. Thus, the mounting manner of thehorizontal compressor 121 is optimized and the space is sufficiently used, which provides a favorable condition for the top-set design of theclothes drying device 120 in the washing-drying machine 100. - As shown in
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 , thecondenser 122 and theevaporator 123 are disposed in theaccommodating cavity 115, and theevaporator 123 is located upstream of thecondenser 122 along an airflow direction in the guiding assembly. In other words, along the airflow direction in the guiding assembly, the air may be condensed by theevaporator 123 firstly, and then be heated by thecondenser 122. - Optionally, at least one of the
air inlet duct 113 and theair return duct 116 is a rubber hose. - For example, in an embodiment shown in
Fig. 3 , theair inlet duct 113 may be the rubber hose, and thus, an arrangement manner of theair inlet duct 113 may be adjusted according to a reserved space, so that the space occupied by theair inlet duct 113 can be saved and a service life of theair inlet duct 113 can be prolonged to some extent. - Of course, the
air return duct 116 may also be the rubber hose, and the specific materials of theair inlet duct 113 and theair return duct 116 are not limited in the present disclosure and may be selected suitably according to demands in a practical application. - Referring to
Fig. 5 and combiningFig. 1 , an axis of thewashing drum 111 may extend along a front and rear direction (such as a front and rear direction shown inFig. 5 ), theair inlet duct 113 may be connected to a rear end of thewashing drum 111, and theair return duct 116 may be connected to a front end of thewashing drum 111. In the drying process, airflow in the rear end of thewashing drum 111 is guided to theclothes drying device 120 by the guiding assembly firstly, water vapor in the airflow is condensed and the airflow is heated again through theclothes drying device 120, and then the airflow returns to the front end of thewashing drum 111. The airflow returning to the front end of thewashing drum 111 flows in thewashing drum 111 and further to the rear end of thewashing drum 111, thus completing an airflow circulation. - Thus, in the drying process, the airflow can circulate in the
whole washing drum 111, so as to improve the efficiency and effect of drying the clothes, thereby making the clothes in thewashing drum 111 dried rapidly. - Referring to
Fig. 1 andFig. 2 , thehorizontal compressor 121 may be disposed in a top of the washing-drying machine 100. Thus, the overall height of the washing-drying machine 100 can be lowered and the used space is compressed. - In addition, the top-set
horizontal compressor 121 is disposed adjacent to thecondenser 122 and theevaporator 123, which can simplify the duct connection and improve the clothes drying efficiency. - Further, as shown in
Fig. 1 , acompressor base 130 may be disposed in the top of the washing-drying machine 100, and thehorizontal compressor 121 may be mounted to thecompressor base 130. Thecompressor base 130 may be used to support and accommodate thehorizontal compressor 121, thus improving the mounting stability of thehorizontal compressor 121. - Referring to
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 and combiningFig. 1 , thecondenser 122 and theevaporator 123 both may be disposed in the top of the washing-drying machine 100 (as shown inFig. 1 ), and thecondenser 122 and theevaporator 123 may further be disposed adjacent to the horizontal compressor 121 (referring toFig. 3 and Fig. 4 ). Thus, a distance between thehorizontal compressor 121 and thecondenser 122 can be shortened, and also, a distance between thehorizontal compressor 121 and theevaporator 123 can be shortened, so that the duct design is simple, therefore improving the producing efficiency of the washing-drying machine 100 to some extent. - In addition, componentization of the
horizontal compressor 121, thecondenser 122 and theevaporator 123 can be achieved due to the short distance between thehorizontal compressor 121 and thecondenser 122 as well as the short distance between thehorizontal compressor 121 and theevaporator 123. - It can be understood that, by disposing the
horizontal compressor 121 in the washing-drying machine 100, thehorizontal compressor 121 can be disposed at the top or a bottom of the washing-drying machine 100 due to a small height of thehorizontal compressor 121, which is greatly advantageous for space usage. For example, thehorizontal compressor 121 may be disposed in the top of the washing-drying machine 100, which can shorten the distance between thehorizontal compressor 121 and thecondenser 122 as well as the distance between thehorizontal compressor 121 and theevaporator 123, so that the duct design is simple, and the producing efficiency is high. - Optionally, the
horizontal compressor 121 has a slope angle ranging from 0° to 90° relative to a horizontal plane. Thus, in the mounting process of thehorizontal compressor 121, the specific mounting position of thehorizontal compressor 121 can be suitably adjusted according to the actual demands, so as to make full use of space and meet various demands of the user. - The slope angle of the
horizontal compressor 121 relative to the horizontal plane is not limited in the present disclosure, and may be selected suitably according to demands in a practical application. - Referring to
Fig. 1 andFig. 2 , acover 101 may also be disposed at the top of the washing-dryingmachine 100, and configured to cover the top of theclothes drying device 120, so that thecover 101 is easy to be assembled and disassembled, thus improving the maintenance efficiency of the washing-dryingmachine 100 to some extent. - The
horizontal compressor 121 is chosen for the washing-dryingmachine 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure, which has an evident advantage in the space usage, compared with a traditional washing-drying machine using a vertical compressor. - In addition, the use of the
horizontal compressor 121 can decrease the height of theclothes drying device 120 effectively and realize the integrated top-set design of theclothes drying device 120 with less influence on the height of the washing-dryingmachine 100. - In addition, in the washing-drying
machine 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure, thehorizontal compressor 121 is introduced and the mounting manner of thehorizontal compressor 121 is optimized, so that the height of theclothes drying device 120 can be decreased, thus providing an advantageous foundation for the top-set design of theclothes drying device 120 of the washing-dryingmachine 100, and also improving the producing and manufacturing, as well as the after-sales maintenance efficiency of the washing-dryingmachine 100. - In addition, the
horizontal compressor 121 in the present disclosure may be a compressor whose cylinder having a horizontal axis, and furthermore, thehorizontal compressor 121 can be rotated to be placed in the optimal position. - In the specification, it is to be understood that terms such as "central," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "an axial direction," "a radical direction," and "a circumferential direction," should be construed to refer to the orientation as then described or as shown in the drawings under discussion.
