Therefore, the condensation efficiency is improved compared with the prior art. The second heat exchange apparatus is disposed on the separation wall, has a simple structure, and occupies a relatively small space.
  • The separation wall is preferably made of a heat conductive material. Therefore, the separation wall can well transfer heat among the condensation compartment, the drying compartment, and the second heat exchange apparatus, and help to improve the condensation efficiency.

The condensation compartment 6 has an inlet 61 formed between the separation wall 5 and the tub 4 and an outlet 62 formed on the tub 4. The outlet 62 of the condensation compartment 6 is connected to a fan 7 and a hot air pipe 12 in which an air heater 11 is disposed. The downstream of the hot air pipe 12 is further connected to the drying compartment 8 of the tub 4. Therefore, an air circulation path is formed in the drying compartment 8, the condensation compartment 6, the fan 7, and the hot air pipe 12. Under the effect of the fan 7, air is heated by the air heater 11 and then enters the drying compartment 8, further enters the drum 3 that is in spatial communication with the drying compartment 8, exchanges heat with wet laundry, and takes away water in the laundry. Wet hot air that carries water enters the condensation compartment 6, and in the condensation compartment 6, the water in the air is condensed and separated from the air. Then, relatively dry air enters the hot air channel 12 again and is heated by the air heater 11 to enter the next circulation.

Therefore, the cooling water flows down to the bottom of the tub 4 along the separation wall 5, and is further discharged.
  • As shown in FIG. 3, in an implementation, the separation wall 5 uses a hollow two-layer structure, and includes a first layer 52 and a second layer 53, and the refrigerant channel 51 is disposed between the first layer and the second layer. A wall 510 of the refrigerant channel 51 is in heat conduction connection to the first layer 52 and the second layer 53 of the separation wall 5. The wall 510 of the refrigerant channel 51 is made of a heat conduction material. Therefore, the cooling water in the refrigerant channel 51 further exchanges heat with air in the drying compartment 8 and the condensation compartment 6 under the heat transfer effect between the wall 510 of the refrigerant channel 51 and the first layer 52 and the second layer 53 of the separation wall 5.
  • In another implementation, the separation wall 5 is a single-layer structure, and the refrigerant channel 51 is welded on one side or two sides of the separation wall 5.
  • In still another implementation, the separation wall 5 constitutes at least one part of the wall 510 of the refrigerant channel 51. For example, the refrigerant channel 51 is formed on the separation wall 5.
  • As can be seen, the wall 510 of the refrigerant channel 51 is exposed in at least one of the drying compartment 8 or the condensation compartment 6, or the wall 510 of the condensation channel 51 is in heat conduction connection to the separation wall 5.
  • As shown in FIG. 2, the refrigerant channel 51 extends in a snakelike winding manner. In this way, a refrigerant channel 51 as long as possible may be arranged in a limited space. Therefore, the refrigerant channel 51 has a preferable heat exchange effect.
