Description
- This application is based on and claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0092587, filed on Jul. 21, 2017, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference for all purposes.
- The present disclosure relates to a drum type washing machine with improved drying efficiency.
- In general, a washing machine is an apparatus that removes various contaminants adhering to laundry, e.g., clothes, beddings and the like, by utilizing the emulsifying action of a detergent, the frictional action of water flow generated by the rotation of a pulsator and the impact effect applied to washing items by a pulsator.
- A conventional fully automated washing machine can automatically perform a series of processes including washing, rinsing and dewatering without requiring user intervention once the cycles are started.
- Depending on the form of the washing tub containing washing items, washing machines are classified into a top-loading type washing machine in which a washing tub is installed upright (vertical) and a front-loading type washing machine in which a washing tub is laid horizontal. Among them, the front-loading type washing machine (hereinafter referred to as “drum type washing machine”) is smaller in total height than the top-loading type washing machine, larger in washing capacity than the top-loading type washing machine, and mostly avoids problems associated with fabric twisting or the like. Thus, the demand for the drum type washing machine has been increasing.
- The drum type washing machine may include a tub configured to store washing water, and a drum installed inside the tub and configured to accommodate washing objects. The drum type washing machine can perform a washing process on washing items by the rotation of the drum and the friction of washing items by the washing water.
- The drum type washing machine may include a drying device that can dry the washing items by supplying hot air into the drum accommodating the washing items. The air heated by the drying device passes through the washing items accommodated in the drum. Thereafter, the air, having high humidity, flows into the drying device again.
- The humid air flowing into the drying device is brought into contact with cooling water in order to reduce the humidity thereof. At this time, the humid air is condensed by the cooling water having a relatively low temperature, whereby the moisture in the air can be removed. As a result, the humid air is converted into relatively dry air. The dry air is heated by a heating element of the drying device and is then re-supplied into the drum.
- However, in the conventional drum type washing machine, the cooling water is scattered due to the high flow velocity when the humid air comes into contact with the cooling water. For that reason, there is a problem that the humidity of the humid air increases and the drying efficiency therefore becomes poor. In addition, a problem happens in that the scattered cooling water flowing into the drying device comes into contact with components of the drum type washing machine and causes corrosion thereof.

- Hereinafter, a drum type washing machine with improved drying efficiency according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the drumtype washing machine 10 with improved drying efficiency according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include atub 100, a dryingduct 200 and a condensingduct 300. In this regard, the dryingduct 200 and the condensingduct 300 may be components of a drying device provided in the drumtype washing machine 10. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thetub 100 may store washing water therein in order to perform washing. Thetub 100 may be connected to the dryingduct 200 so that hot air required for drying washing items can be supplied from the dryingduct 200 to thetub 100 when drying the washing items. - Specifically, in the drum
type washing machine 10, thetub 100 may be provided on the outer side, and adrum 110 having a plurality of flow paths for guiding the inflow and outflow of washing water stored in thetub 100 may be disposed inside thetub 100 to accommodate washing items. - The
tub 100 is spaced apart from the outer circumferential surface of thedrum 110. Thetub 100 is configured to store the washing water discharged during a dewatering process and to drain the washing water to the outside. During a drying process, thetub 100 is configured to guide the hot air supplied from the dryingduct 200 into thedrum 110, thereby drying the washing items accommodated inside thedrum 110. - Furthermore, the drying
duct 200 may supply the hot air toward one of thetub 100 or thedrum 110. A circulation means 210 and a heating means 220 may be provided in the dryingduct 200. - The circulation means 210 may introduce ambient air existing outside the drum
type washing machine 10 into the dryingduct 200 and may circulate air existing inside the drumtype washing machine 10. As an example, the circulation means 210 may be a blower fan. - The heating means 220 may heat the air passing through the drying
duct 200. The heating means 220 may control the temperature of the air existing inside the drumtype washing machine 10 in the process of drying the washing items. For example, the heating means 220 may be an electric heater. The dryingduct 200 may supply hot air into at least one of thetub 100 and thedrum 110. - The condensing
duct 300 may receive the humid air (with high humidity) passed through thetub 100 or thedrum 110 and may receive cooling water from the outside. The condensingduct 300 may cool the humid air through heat exchange between the cooling water and the humid air, thereby condensing the moisture contained in the humid air. - When the moisture contained in the humid air is condensed, the humid air is converted into dry air with relatively low humidity. The condensing
duct 300 may supply the dry air to the dryingduct 200. Condensed water generated by condensing the moisture may be discharged to the outside of the condensingduct 300. - When the dry air with relatively low humidity is sent from the condensing
duct 300 to the dryingduct 200, the humidity of the dry air is further reduced by the drying device of the dryingduct 200. As a result, it is possible to further improve the drying efficiency of the air and to prevent components existing inside the dryingduct 200 from being corroded. - In other words, the condensing
duct 300 may cool the hot air with the high humidity using the cooling water so that the moisture contained in the hot air with the high humidity passed through thetub 100 or thedrum 110 is condensed. The condensingduct 300 may drain the condensed air and may re-introduce the dry air into the dryingduct 200. The air re-introduced into the dryingduct 200 may be drier than the air introduced into the condensingduct 300. The condensingduct 300 may be disposed between thetub 100 and the dryingduct 200. - Hereinafter, the condensing
duct 300 will be described with reference toFIGS. 3 to 5 . - The condensing
duct 300 may be provided with awater chamber 320 that accommodates the cooling water separated from the humid air so that the cooling water does not make contact with the humid air. On one side surface of thewater chamber 320, there may be provided acondensing wall 321 that makes contact with the humid air flowing through the condensingduct 300 and induces condensation of the humid air. - Specifically, one side surface of the condensing
wall 321 makes contact with the humid air flowing through the condensingduct 300, and the other side surface of the condensingwall 321 makes contact with the cooling water existing inside thewater chamber 320. Thus, the condensingwall 321 may serve as an interface for the cooling water and the humid air. Accordingly, heat exchange between the cooling water and the humid air, both of which have different temperatures, may occur through the condensingwall 321. - When the humid air makes contact with the condensing
wall 321, the water vapor contained in the humid air is condensed into water droplets on the surface of the condensingwall 321. The water droplets flow down along the condensingwall 321. Thus, the humidity of the humid air is reduced so that dry air can be generated therefrom. - As shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , the condensingduct 300 may include ahousing 310, awater chamber 320, awater inlet 330 and awater outlet 340. - The
housing 310 is an element that forms an overall outer shell of the condensingduct 300. As shown inFIG. 4 , thehousing 310 may have a structure in which one side surface of thehousing 310 is opened. Anair flow path 311 may be formed inside thehousing 310. - The
air flow path 311 may be formed only when thewater chamber 320 is combined with thehousing 310. The humid air passed through thetub 100 or thedrum 110 may be introduced to one side (e.g., the lower side) of theair flow path 311. The humid air is converted into dry air (with relatively low humidity) which may be discharged through the other side (e.g., the upper side) of theair flow path 311. - The
water chamber 320 is combined with one side surface of thehousing 310 so that the condensingwall 321 can make contact with theair flow path 311. Thewater chamber 320 may accommodate cooling water therein. Thewater chamber 320 may be coupled to one side surface of thehousing 310 by a fastening means such as screws or bolts. - In order to enhance the water tightness or the air tightness, the
water chamber 320 may be coupled to one side surface of thehousing 310 by a thermal fusion bonding method in which thewater chamber 320 and thehousing 310 are partially melted by high temperature heat and are bonded to each other. - In this case, in order to enhance the condensing efficiency of the humid air, the
entire water chamber 320 may be made of a metallic material such as iron or copper which has a high heat transfer coefficient. Alternatively, only the condensingwall 321 may be made of a metallic material, such as iron or copper. - The
water inlet 330 is an element provided to supply cooling water into thewater chamber 320. Thewater outlet 340 is an element provided to discharge the cooling water passed through thewater chamber 320 to the outside of thehousing 310. - The
water inlet 330 may be formed at a portion of thehousing 310, and thewater outlet 340 may be formed at another portion of thehousing 310. Since water tends to flow downward, it is preferred that thewater inlet 330 is disposed in the upper portion of thehousing 310 and thewater outlet 340 is disposed in the lower portion of thehousing 310. - Inasmuch as the
water inlet 330 is formed in thehousing 310, as shown inFIG. 5 , anintroduction port 322 may be formed on one side of thewater chamber 320 so that the cooling water flowing into thehousing 310 through thewater inlet 330 can enter the inside of thewater chamber 320. That is to say, theintroduction port 322 is an element formed at a portion of thewater chamber 320 and is configured to allow the cooling water introduced into thehousing 310 via thewater inlet 330 to flow into thewater chamber 320. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , adischarge port 323 may be formed at another portion of thewater chamber 320 so that the cooling water flowing into thewater chamber 320 can be discharged to the outside of thewater chamber 320. Thus, the cooling water discharged to the outside of thewater chamber 320 through thedischarge port 323 may enter the inside of thehousing 310 and may be discharged to the outside of thehousing 310 through thewater outlet 340. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , which is a partial sectional view taken along a vertical plane extending along and passing through the central axis of thewater inlet 330, aguide portion 312 opened on one surface thereof may be formed inside thehousing 310 where thewater outlet 340 is positioned, so that the cooling water flowing into thehousing 310 can be guided toward theintroduction port 322 of the water chamber 320 (see the portion indicated by a circle inFIG. 4 ). - The
guide portion 312 is closed on all the surfaces except one side surface facing theintroduction port 322. - Therefore, the cooling water flowing into the
housing 310 via thewater inlet 330 may be temporarily stored in theguide portion 312 and may be guided to theintroduction port 322 of thewater chamber 320 through the open one surface of theguide portion 312. - The
end 331 of thewater inlet 330 leading to theguide portion 312 may be in the shape of a nozzle having a reduced diameter so that the cooling water supplied through thewater inlet 330 can be injected into theguide portion 312. - As the
end 331 of thewater inlet 330 is formed in the form of a nozzle, the injection velocity of the cooling water is increased to rapidly cool the condensingwall 321 of thewater chamber 320. As a result, it is possible to enhance the condensing efficiency of the humid air and also to enhance the drying efficiency. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , flowpath ribs 324 may be formed inside thewater chamber 320 to be inclined downward. - The
flow path ribs 324 may increase the contact area between the cooling water flowing into thewater chamber 320 and the condensingwall 321 so that the cooling water can cool theentire condensing wall 321 as far as possible. In addition, theflow path ribs 324 may reduce the flow velocity of the cooling water flowing through thewater chamber 320, thereby increasing the time for heat exchange between the cooling water and the condensingwall 321. As a result, it is possible to efficiently cool the condensingwall 321 with a reduced amount of cooling water and to enhance the condensing efficiency of the humid air. - In this regard, the
flow path ribs 324 may be alternately and consecutively formed on one side and the other side of thewater chamber 320 so that the cooling water can make contact with the entire surface of the condensingwall 321. Thus, one of theflow path ribs 324 is formed to extend obliquely downward from one side of thewater chamber 320 to the other side thereof and is spaced apart from the adjacentflow path rib 324 so that the end of one of theflow path ribs 324 does not make contact with the adjacentflow path rib 324. Thus, the cooling water can flow downward. - As described above, the
flow path ribs 324 are consecutively formed in a zigzag structure inside thewater chamber 320. Thus, the cooling water makes contact with the entire surface of the condensingwall 321 while flowing along theflow path ribs 324, whereby the flow velocity of the cooling water may be reduced. - Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art will understand that the present disclosure may be implemented in various ways without changing the necessary features or the spirit of the present disclosure.
- Therefore, it should be understood that the exemplary embodiments described above are not limiting, but only exemplary in all respects. The scope of the present disclosure is expressed by claims below, not the detailed description, and it should be construed that all changes and modifications achieved from the meanings and scope of claims and equivalent concepts are included in the scope of the present disclosure.
