In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10 , a drying unit 180 for performing drying is installed in the washing unit 100 . The drying unit 180 includes a direct exhaust type ventilation path (not shown) for discharging the moist heat air formed in the inner cylinder during the drying process to the outside of the washing unit.

A humidity sensor is installed in the direct exhaust type ventilation path, and the humidity sensor detects the humidity of the location and sends the detected humidity to the control panel of the washing unit. When the detected humidity threshold reaches a preset drying stop threshold, the control panel sends a stop command to the drying unit 180 to stop drying. Specifically, as time passes in the drying process, the moisture in the laundry in the inner tube 130 is reduced, and the humidity of the air directly entering the exhaust type ventilation path from the inner tube 130 is lowered. When the dryness of the laundry in the inner cylinder 130 reaches the required level, the humidity in the direct exhaust type ventilation path is lowered to a certain value. Through the humidity sensor, the humidity of the place where it is located is sensed in real time, and when the humidity is lowered to the drying stop threshold, it means that the drying level of the laundry in the inner tube 130 has reached the demand, and drying can be stopped. The mini-washing machine of the present invention is convenient to install and takes up less space by installing a humidity sensor in the drying ventilation path to determine the degree of dryness instead of the conventional method of installing temperature sensors at the intake and exhaust ports of the inner cylinder 130, respectively.

Furthermore, the humidity sensor is installed close to the first exhaust port 121 of the direct exhaust type ventilation path. Since the humidity condition of the first exhaust port is most similar to the humidity condition of the air discharged to the outside of the washing unit 100 by the direct exhaust ventilation path, the degree of drying may be more accurately determined according to the humidity detected by the humidity sensor.

Furthermore, a garbage collector (not shown) is installed in the first exhaust port 121 . When washing the laundry in the inner tube 130 , it is possible to wash off residues such as materials and wool attached to the clothes, so that when directly discharged into the tank 200 , the tank 200 may be contaminated. By installing the garbage collector in the first exhaust port 121 , the garbage discharged from the inner cylinder 130 can be collected, and the garbage collector is regularly installed so that the moist heat air discharged from the inner tube 130 reduces contamination of the tank 200 . can be cleaned with

Furthermore, a residue filter (not shown) is installed at the intake port of the drying ventilation path of the drying unit 180 . When the washing machine body 1 performs a drying function, external air enters from the intake port, and the heating device 1822 heats the newly entered air to form hot air to dry the wet laundry in the inner tube 130 . make it Since foreign substances such as dust or wool exist in the external environment, and when the dry ventilation path sucks in new air, foreign substances in the external environment can be sucked together. By filtration, it is possible to prevent foreign substances from entering the dry air passage and contaminating the dry air passage or the inner cylinder. In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the intake port is installed so that fresh air can be replenished into the inner cylinder 130 in time, there is no need to install the first intake port 122 in the housing 120 of the washing unit 100 . There is no need to install the second exhaust port 222 in the case 220, it is possible to replenish new air to the inner cylinder 130 through the tank (200).

In one embodiment, the tank 200 is installed toward the first exhaust port 121 of the direct exhaust type ventilation path, and the first exhaust port 121 communicates with the cavity 230 of the tank 200 . When performing the drying function, the moist heat air in the direct exhaust type ventilation path enters the cavity 230 , then is cooled by the inner wall of the cavity 230 and/or the washing water received and discharged to the outside of the washing machine body 1 . When the washing machine main body 1 performs the drying mode, the drying unit 180 of the washing unit 100 starts to perform a drying function, and the heating element of the drying unit 180 heats the cold air to generate hot air. to form The hot air enters the inner tube 130 by the blower of the drying unit 180 , absorbs moisture from the laundry to form moist heat air, and then is discharged from the inner tube 130 . In the case of a general large washing machine body, a condenser is installed inside the washing machine body to cool the moist heat air to form and discharge condensed water, or heat the air condensed by the condenser through a heating element to form hot air and use it cyclically. can In the case of a mini-washing machine, since it is difficult to accommodate a large condenser due to its small overall size and internal space, a direct exhaust ventilation path is designed and the moist heat air discharged from the inner cylinder 130 during the drying process is directly discharged to the external environment through a direct discharge method. discharge Accordingly, the humidity and temperature of the environment in which the mini washing machine is located increases, and affects the user's experience and the lifespan of the mini washing machine. On the other hand, the discharged moist heat air is condensed on the outer wall of the mini washing machine to form water droplets, which reduces the visual and user experience, and increases the labor required for the user to clean the surface of the mini washing machine. The moist heat air generated in the drying process by the inner cylinder 130 first enters the tank 200 and is cooled in contact with the inner wall of the tank 200, and/or exchanges thermal energy with the cold air of the cavity 230, and / or heat energy is exchanged with the washing water in the cavity 230 . Accordingly, some of the moist heat air is cooled to form condensed water and then joins the washing water, and some air passes through the assembly portion of the cover 210 and the case 220 of the tank 200 after the temperature is lowered to an external environment. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the influence of the air discharged during the drying process by the washing machine main body 1 on the humidity of the external environment.

Furthermore, an air door (not shown) is installed in the first exhaust port 121 . When drying is stopped, the air door is closed to prevent water vapor in the cavity 230 from entering the drying air passage. When drying is stopped, the blower of the drying unit 180 stops operating, and the drying air passage and air in the cavity 230 are exchanged. However, since the cavity 230 is for storing water and has a certain humidity due to the stored water, the water vapor in the cavity 230 enters the inner tube 130 through the drying ventilation path to dry the inner tube 130 . Install an air door to prevent the finished laundry from getting wet. When drying is stopped, the air door is closed so that communication between the drying air passage and the cavity 230 is blocked.

In one embodiment, the first exhaust port 121 is installed on the rear surface of the housing 120 of the washing unit 100 . That is, since the tank 200 is located on the rear surface of the washing unit 100 , the symmetry of the front structure of the washing machine body 1 is improved, and the aesthetics is improved. In addition, the moist heat air discharged by the inner cylinder 130 is constantly cooled due to the inner wall of the tank 200 , the inner cold air or the received washing water, and then the cover 210 of the tank 200 and the case 220 are assembled It will come out of the gap in the area. Since the cooling of the tank 200 with respect to the moist heat air in the cavity 230 is natural cooling, the air escaping at this time still has a constant humidity. Air having a constant humidity discharged from the washing machine body 1 is dispersed from the distribution of the washing machine body 1 . When some condensed water forms water droplets, it forms on the distribution of the washing machine body (1), so it does not affect the aesthetics, and the amount of water droplets is small, so natural evaporation is fast, and the environment where the washing machine body (1) is located does not have a large impact on

In one embodiment, the intake port installed in the drying unit 180 and for freshly sucking in the outside air is closed by a valve. A first intake port 122 is installed in the housing 120 of the washing unit 100 , and the first intake port 122 communicates with the cavity 230 so that some air in the cavity 230 is removed from the washing unit 100 . By allowing it to enter the inner cylinder 130 , the internal pressure of the inner cylinder 130 is compensated. Since the moist heat air in the inner tube 130 is constantly discharged during the drying process, the amount of air in the inner tube 130 is reduced to lower the pressure than the outside, and a vacuum-like state is formed. By installing the first intake port 122 communicating with the cavity 230 in the housing 120 so that the air in the cavity 230 enters the inner cylinder 130, the air in the inner cylinder 130 is supplemented and the inner cylinder 130. compensate for the internal pressure of

A baffle is installed on the inner wall of the cavity 230 , and the baffle is positioned between the second intake port 221 and the second exhaust port 222 . Since the first exhaust port 121 sends moist heat air into the cavity 230 through the second intake port 221 , the wet heat air passes through the second exhaust port 222 and the first intake port 122 in sequence and then the corresponding ventilation In order to enter the inner tube 130 through the furnace and prevent the internal humidity of the inner tube 130 from increasing, a baffle is installed between the second intake port 221 and the second exhaust port 222 from the second intake port 221 . The sucked wet heat air is blocked from flowing to the second exhaust port 222 .

Furthermore, in one embodiment there are at least two baffles. The two adjacent baffles are displaced and distributed close to the upper end and lower end of the cavity 230, respectively, so that a curved air passage is formed. After entering the cavity 230 , the moist heat air discharged by the inner cylinder 130 comes into contact with the inner wall of the cavity 230 and the washing water stored in the cavity 230 , and is cooled by exchanging thermal energy. In addition to this, when the moist heat air flows in the cavity 230, some of the moist heat air enters the air passage and contacts the baffle to exchange thermal energy with the baffle. Accelerates the cooling effect. In addition, in the case of installing a plurality of baffles, the second intake port 221 and the second exhaust port 222 are preferably spaced apart so that the moist heat air in the cavity 230 passes through the second intake port 221 to the inner cylinder 130 again. entry can be prevented. Specifically, referring to FIG. 13 , it is a schematic diagram of distribution in the first sidewall 223 of the tank 200 in which the second intake ports 221 and the second exhaust ports 222 of a plurality of baffles are installed in one embodiment. The baffle may be installed on the first sidewall 223 , and the other sidewall of the baffle may collide with an inner surface facing the first sidewall 223 of the tank 200 (not shown). The number of baffles may be five, in this case including three first baffles 261 and two second baffles 262 . The first baffle 261 is installed close to the top of the cavity 230 , and the second baffle 262 is installed close to the bottom of the cavity 230 . In one embodiment, the width of the first baffle 261 is less than the width of the second baffle 262 because the tank 200 is narrow and elongated and the cavity 230 is curved. In addition, in one embodiment, the handle 211 is concavely formed on the cover 210 of the tank 200 , the space at the top of the cavity 230 is small, and the first baffle 261 is the handle 211 , the inner surface of the handle 211 . It has a curved shape (not shown) to yield a seat to the projection structure of

Furthermore, the washing machine body 1 includes a first pipe for communicating the first exhaust port 121 and the second intake port 221 , and a second pipe for communicating the second exhaust port 222 with the first intake port 122 . further includes The first exhaust port 121 and the second intake port 221 are communicated by a sealed first pipe, and the second exhaust port 222 and the first intake port 122 are communicated by a sealed second pipe, so that air In the process of flowing between the washing unit 100 and the tank 200 , the washing machine is washed out of the assembly portion between the first exhaust port 121 and the second intake port 221 or between the second exhaust port 222 and the first intake port 122 . It is possible to prevent moisture from forming in the assembly gap between the unit 100 and the tank 200 . Furthermore, when the washing unit 100 and the tank 200 are detachably connected, the first pipe and the second pipe are installed in the washing unit 100 . When fixing the tank 200, the first pipe and the second pipe are inserted into the matching second intake port 221 and the second exhaust port 222, respectively. Further, a sealing is installed in the second intake port 221 and the second exhaust port 222 , and the sealing is an assembly portion of the first pipe and the second intake port 221 , and the second pipe and the second exhaust port 222 , respectively. ) to seal the assembly area.

In one embodiment, the tank 200 is provided with a third exhaust port. A part of the cooled air in the cavity 230 is discharged through the third exhaust port, and a part is discharged from the assembly portion of the cover 210 and the case 220 . If there is a lot of moist heat air generated during the drying process by the washing machine body 1 and the assembly gap between the case 220 and the cover 210 is not large, the exhaust speed is slow. If the air in the cavity 230 is not discharged in a timely manner, the internal pressure of the cavity 230 becomes excessively large, and a danger occurs. By discharging the air inside the cavity 230 in a timely manner by installing the third exhaust port, the use safety of the washing machine body 1 is improved and the amount of air inside the cavity 230 is reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the moist heat air from coming into contact with the cooled air to affect the condensation effect of the tank 200 on the moist heat air.

Furthermore, when the required amount of water is received in the tank 200, the water level in the cavity 230 is located below the assembly gap between the cover 210 and the case 220 to prevent the washing water from escaping to the outside of the washing machine body 1 can The water level in the cavity 230 is also located below the second intake port 221 and the second exhaust port 222 to prevent water in the tank 200 from entering the washing unit 100 .

The support frame 160 includes a frame 161 and a door frame 162 fixed to the front of the frame 161 . The tank 200 is installed in the support frame 160 or is detachably installed on one side of the housing 120 wrapped outside the support frame 160 .

The frame 161 supports the barrel unit of the washing machine body 1 . Specifically, the barrel unit is for processing laundry, and includes an inner tube 130 , an outer tube 140 , and a front tube 150 . The inner tube 130 is for accommodating laundry, and the outer tube 140 forms a space in which the washing machine body 1 together with the outer walls of the front tube 150 and the inner tube 130 temporarily stores water during the washing process, so that the inner tube ( 130) is injected with washing water mixed with washing medium or clear water for rinsing.

The door frame 162 is provided with a notch 1621 for forming a laundry inlet of the tub unit of the washing machine body 1 . A panel structure for fixing the door of the washing machine body 1 is installed in the door frame 162 , and a case wrapped around the frame 161 forms an exterior surface of the washing machine body 1 together with the panel structure. When mounting the exterior surface of the washing machine body 1, there is no need to attach a separate fixing member to the support frame 160 to fix the door, simply attaching the exterior surface door directly to the door frame 162 to achieve a certain weight. Since the vibrating door can be stably fixed, the space occupied by the fixing member can be saved, which is advantageous in designing the miniaturization of the washing machine body 1 . The panel structure of the door frame 162 may be designed according to the market demand for the exterior surface of the washing machine body 1 .

Furthermore, the door frame 162 is installed to be inclined in a direction spaced apart from the frame from top to bottom so that the notch 1621 faces the inner cylinder 130 .

That is, a part of the outer end where the entrance of the inner cylinder 130 is located is located in the space formed by the first joint 16111 and the second joint 16121 and the door frame 162 together, so that the support frame 160 is the inner tube. In addition to being able to secure a space for accommodating the 130 , it is advantageous in designing the miniaturization of the frame 161 .

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 19 , the frame 161 includes the integrally molded base 1615 to improve the supporting strength of the bottom of the frame 161 . Specifically, the base 1615 includes a bottom plate 16151 and four vertical plates. The bottom plate 16151 has an openwork shape in the middle, and the four vertical plates surround the first vertical bar 1611 , the second vertical bar 1612 , the third vertical bar 1613 , and the fourth vertical bar 1614 , respectively. to form a structure so that the base 1615 is mutually fixed to the first vertical bar 1611 , the second vertical bar 1612 , the third vertical bar 1613 , and the fourth vertical bar 1614 . By providing the base 1615, the supporting strength of the bottom portion of the frame 161 is improved.

When the washing machine body 1 is installed in a place where there is no water channel, when water is injected into the tank 200, the washing machine body 1 may be detached without moving the tank 200 to inject water, and a separate container Since there is no need to re-inject water into the tank 200 after putting water in the washing machine, the washing machine body 1 can be installed at any position according to the user's usage habits, so the application environment is wide and convenient to use. When the washing machine body 1 is transported, the washing unit 100 and the tank 200 are separated from each other. When a user uses the washing machine body 1, the tank 200 must be mounted on one side of the washing unit 100, and since the transport bolt 600 is installed on the surface of the washing unit 100 facing the tank 200, Before mounting the tank 200 , the transport bolt 600 must be removed first, otherwise the transport bolt 600 may affect the mounting of the tank 200 . That is, the mounting method of the detachable tank 200 and the limitation of the mounting portion of the transport bolt 600 and the limitation by the installation of the transport bolt 600 are determined by first removing the transport bolt 600 and then removing the washing machine body 1 .

The electromagnetic sensor corresponds to the position of the magnetic member, and detects whether the tank 200 is properly mounted through the electromagnetic induction of the electromagnetic sensor and the magnetic member. Specifically, when the tank 200 is mounted, as the distance between the tank 200 and the washing unit 100 is shortened, the distance between the magnetic member of the tank 200 and the electromagnetic sensor in the washing unit 100 is shortened together. , the magnetic field sensed by the electromagnetic sensor gradually increases. When the tank 200 is properly mounted, the magnetic element is correctly positioned relative to the electromagnetic sensor. In this case, the magnetic field sensed by the electromagnetic sensor is a preset target value, and the control panel acquires information about the preset target value of the magnetic field detected by the electromagnetic sensor. In this case, the control panel sends a washing unlock program, that is, a command that the washing machine body 1 can be operated. When the user executes a program related to the washing machine body 1 , the washing machine body 1 operates normally. Conversely, when the control panel acquires information that the magnetic field sensed by the electromagnetic sensor is different from the preset target value, the control panel sends a command to disable the washing machine main body 1 . In this case, when the user executes a program related to the washing machine body 1 , the washing machine body 1 is not operated. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the tank 200 from being properly mounted and thus operating in a state where the entire washing machine body 1 is out of balance, thereby preventing a risk from occurring, and water injection into the tank 200 is convenient and the washing machine body ( 1) safety of use can be secured.
