Furthermore, the air inlet is opened on one side of the shell; and the air outlet is opened on the other side opposite to the shell.

Furthermore, the disturbance component is at least one baffle or protrusion extending inward from the inner wall of the shell.

Furthermore, the length direction of the baffle is consistent with the end face of the air inlet or the end face of the air outlet.

Furthermore, it further includes a water inlet and a water outlet; The water inlet is connected to an external water source for providing cooling water to the condenser; The water outlet is connected to a drum water outlet for discharging the cooling water in the condenser. Further, it further includes: A drain outlet, which is arranged at the bottom of the shell, for discharging the condensed water obtained by condensing the high-temperature humid air flow.

The present invention proposes a drying module, comprising a dehumidification module and a condensation module in any of the above technical solutions, wherein the exhaust port of the dehumidification module is connected to the air inlet of the condensation module.

This invention proposes a clothing processing device, including a condensing module or a drying module in any of the above-mentioned technical solutions.

Furthermore, the clothing processing device is a washing and drying machine.

The above technical solution of this invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects: The disturbance component provided on the inner wall of the shell can prevent the airflow from flowing directly to the air outlet along the inner wall of the shell, and form an airflow channel between the inner wall of the shell, the disturbance component and the condenser, so that the high-temperature humid airflow is fully in contact with the condenser, thereby improving the condensation and dehumidification efficiency.

At present, the cost of dedicated refrigeration equipment for the washer-dryer in the prior art is relatively high; and the condensation of the hot and humid air flow by directly spraying condensed water has the disadvantage that a large amount of water will still be mixed in the air flow, resulting in a low dehumidification and drying efficiency.

To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a condensing module, comprising: a shell and a condenser arranged in the shell, the condenser is used to condense the high-temperature humid air flow entering the shell; an air inlet is opened on the shell, used to allow the external high-temperature humid air flow to enter the shell; an air outlet is opened on the shell, used to discharge the low-temperature dry air flow after condensation by the condenser; a turbulence component is arranged in the shell, and an airflow channel is formed in the shell to allow the high-temperature humid air flow to fully contact the condenser.

For example, as a possible implementation method, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, one embodiment of the present invention provides a condensing module, including: a shell 1 and a condenser 3 arranged in the shell 1, the condenser 3 is used to condense the high-temperature humid air flow entering the shell 1; an air inlet 11, opened on one side of the shell 1, is used to allow the external high-temperature humid air flow to enter the shell 1; an air outlet 12, opened on the other side of the shell 1, is used to discharge the low-temperature dry air flow after condensation by the condenser 3; a turbulence component 22 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 1, and an airflow channel is formed between the inner wall of the shell 1, the turbulence component 22 and the condenser 3, so that the high-temperature humid air flow is in full contact with the condenser 3.

In this embodiment, the high temperature and humid air from the outside enters the housing 1 from the air inlet 11, and is condensed by the condenser to obtain low temperature and dry airflow, which is discharged from the air outlet. In the existing condensing module, when no disturbance component is provided, the outer shell of the condensing module is closely attached to the condenser, and the condensation effect of the outer side of the condenser 3 is not fully utilized; or a gap is left between the outer shell and the condenser, and at this time, part of the airflow will flow directly out of the air outlet along the gap between the inner wall of the outer shell and the condenser without effective condensation and dehumidification. The disturbance component 22 provided on the inner wall of the shell 1 of the present application can prevent the airflow from flowing directly to the air outlet 12 along the inner wall of the shell, and form an airflow channel between the inner wall of the shell 1, the disturbance component 22 and the condenser 3, so that the high-temperature humid airflow is in full contact with the condenser 3.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the flow disturbance component 22 is at least one baffle or protrusion extending inward from the inner wall of the housing 1. The baffle can limit the flow path of the airflow in a directional manner so that the airflow can flow along a preset path; the protrusion on the inner wall of the housing 1 can cause turbulence in the airflow and cause the airflow to move irregularly, so that the airflow can contact the condenser 3 more fully.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the length direction of the baffle is consistent with the end face of the air inlet 11 or the end face of the air outlet 12. The baffle needs to be set on the flow path of the airflow and block the straight flow of the airflow to play a disturbing role, which is equivalent to placing the baffle horizontally on the flow path of the airflow along the inner wall of the shell to make the airflow flow to the condenser 3 and then fully contact the condenser 3. The arrow in Figure 2 indicates the flow direction of the airflow.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the baffle is close to the air outlet 12 and is located between the inner wall of the housing 1 and the condenser 3. When the baffle is not provided near the air outlet 12, the airflow in the housing 1 is directly discharged from the air outlet 12 along the inner wall of the housing 1 without being subjected to the condensation effect of the condenser 3. After the baffle is provided, the airflow at the air outlet 12 will first pass through the condenser 3 before being discharged, thereby improving the condensation efficiency. For the same reason, the baffle is close to the air inlet 11 and is located between the inner wall of the housing 1 and the condenser 3, so that the airflow can fully contact the condenser 3.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the condensing module further includes a water inlet and a water outlet; the water inlet is connected to an external water source for providing cooling water to the condenser 3; the water outlet is connected to the drum water outlet for discharging the cooling water in the condenser 3.

In this embodiment, cooling water continuously enters the condenser 3 through the water inlet, thereby condensing the high-temperature humid airflow in the shell 1 to obtain a low-temperature dry airflow. The cooling water is discharged through the drum water outlet connected to the water outlet of the condenser 3. Furthermore, the condensation module further includes: a drain port 15, which is arranged at the bottom of the shell 1 and is used to discharge the condensed water obtained by condensing the high-temperature humid airflow. The condenser 3 condenses the high-temperature humid airflow to condense the water in the airflow to obtain condensed water; optionally, the drain port 15 can also be connected to the drum water outlet to discharge the condensed water.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the shell 1 of the condensing module includes an upper shell and a lower shell. Optionally, a plurality of ribs are provided on the bottom wall and side walls of the lower shell; the plurality of ribs are used to clamp the condenser 3 in the lower shell, and to provide a gap between the condenser 3 and the side walls and bottom walls. Optionally, a plurality of ribs are also provided on the top wall and side edges of the upper shell, which are used to clamp the condenser 3 in the upper shell, and to provide a gap between the condenser 3 and the side walls and bottom walls of the lower shell so that airflow can flow between the wall surface of the shell 1 and the condenser 3, so that the condensation effect on the outer side of the condenser is fully utilized, thereby improving the condensation efficiency. Another aspect of the invention provides a drying module, including a dehumidification module and a condensation module as described in any of the above technical solutions, wherein the exhaust port of the dehumidification module is connected to the air inlet 11 of the condensation module. The dehumidification module can be a heating module that heats the intermediate medium adsorbed with moisture to discharge a high-temperature humid air flow, or it can be a drum that directly blows the high-temperature air flow toward the object to be dried.

Another aspect of the present invention proposes a clothing processing device, including the condensing module or the drying module described in any one of the technical solutions, and thus has all the advantages and beneficial effects of the condensing module or the drying module in the above-mentioned technical solutions.

In some embodiments, the clothes processing device may be a washing and drying machine. Of course, the invention is not limited thereto. It is understood that any other clothes processing device may also be similarly applied to the invention and is included in the scope of the invention.
