本发明的实施方式
下面结合附图并通过实施例说明本发明的技术方案。
实施例一：
本实施例提供一种干衣机用冷凝水收集蒸发装置，装置包括被配置为收集冷凝水的水盒单元、被配置为产生蒸汽的蒸汽发生器、以及连接在水盒单元和蒸汽发生器之间的第一水源管。
将水盒单元直接连接至蒸汽发生器、向蒸汽发生器提供冷凝水以产生蒸汽，结构更合理，所占空间更小，冷凝水的利用率更高。
水盒单元包括被配置为存储冷凝水的水盒21和被配置为容纳水盒21的水盒容纳腔，水盒容纳腔连接在第一水源管的一端上。
如图1和图2所示，水盒21为中空的盒状结构，在水盒21的侧壁上设置有补水孔，在上壁上设置有进/排水孔。补水孔通过连接部23连接至外部水源，当水盒21中水位过低时通过补水孔向水盒21中补水；进/排水孔被配置为冷凝水流入水盒21中或流出水盒21。
在水盒21内设置有水位传感器(图中未示)，水位传感器连接至干衣机的控制器，被配置为检测水盒21中水位值。
在水盒21的侧壁或底壁上设置有阀门25，当需要向蒸汽发生器供水时则阀门25开启，不需要供水时阀门25关闭。阀门25可以为电磁阀。
实施例二：
本实施例提供一种干衣机用冷凝水收集蒸发装置，其结构与实施例一基本相同。该装置包括被配置为收集冷凝水的水盒单元、被配置为产生蒸汽的蒸汽发生器、以及连接在水盒单元和蒸汽发生器之间的第一水源管。
不同之处在于：水盒单元的结构不限，可以包括水盒和水盒容纳腔、水盒容纳腔连接在第一水源管的一端上，也可以只包括水盒、水盒直接通过第一水源管连接至蒸汽发生器。
蒸汽发生器除了设置有连接至水盒容纳腔的第一水源管，还设置有连接至外部水源的第二水源管。当水盒单元中的水量过低时蒸汽发生器可以关断第一水源管、开通第二水源管，利用外部水源所供的水产生蒸汽，保证产生蒸汽的过程不发生中断。
实施例三：
本实施例提供一种干衣机。如图3和图4所示，该干衣机包括箱体1，在箱体1上设置有容纳水盒21的水盒容纳腔22。水盒容纳腔22连接在第一水源管4的一端上，第一水源管4的另一端连接至蒸汽发生器3。蒸汽发生器3产生的蒸汽通过喷气管喷入滚筒11中，以为衣物除皱、除味。
在水盒21内设置有水位传感器(图中未示)，水位传感器连接至干衣机的控制器。
该干衣机的控制方法：开启干衣程序后，第一风机12带动滚筒11中的空 气进行循环，经加热器16加热的空气进入滚筒11中干燥衣物。从湿衣物中穿过的空气变成湿热空气，湿热空气从门体17下方经过滤网流出滚筒11。
流出滚筒11的湿热空气经过冷凝器14，此时第二风机15从外部吸入的冷空气也经过冷凝器14，从而对湿热空气进行冷凝。湿热空气的水汽冷凝、流入储水槽13中，随后冷凝水被水泵(图中未示)抽入位于干衣机上方的水盒21中。而循环空气变成低温干燥空气，经加热器16加热后再进行下一次的循环。
当需要对滚筒11中的衣物进行除味或除皱处理时，水盒21下壁的电磁阀打开，水盒21中的冷凝水进入水盒容纳腔22中；流入水盒容纳腔22的冷凝水经由第一水源管4进入到设置在干衣机底部的蒸汽发生器3中。蒸汽发生器3开始工作，产生高温水蒸汽。高温水蒸汽通过喷气管的喷嘴装置喷入到加热后的循环风(循环空气)中，循环风携带蒸汽通入到滚筒11内，作用于衣物，从而实现对衣物的除味或除皱。
当水盒21中的水位低于低水位设定值H1时蒸汽发生器3停止工作，控制器给出需要补水的提示信息，通过补水孔向水盒21中补水。当补水至水盒中的水位高于等于低水位设定值H1时蒸汽发生器3重新开始产生蒸汽。当水盒21中的水位等于或高于高水位设定值H2时控制器给出提示信息，通知用户停止补水。如果在补水过程中喷蒸汽已达到设定时间T或用户提前终止喷蒸汽程序、蒸汽发生器3停止工作，则立刻停止补水操作。
在不处于产生蒸汽的时期水位传感器也需要检测水盒21中的水位，当该水位等于或高于高水位设定值H2时控制器给出提示信息、并停止干衣机当前的工作，等待用户将水盒21抽出、将冷凝水倒出。
实施例四：
本实施例提供一种干衣机，其结构以及控制方法与实施例三基本相同。该控制方法是使用水盒单元收集冷凝水，当需要对干衣机内部衣物喷蒸汽时导通第一水源管，使冷凝水从水盒单元流入蒸汽发生器，产生蒸汽。
不同之处在于：蒸汽发生器除了设置有连接至水盒容纳腔的第一水源管，还设置有连接至外部水源的第二水源管。当水盒单元中的冷凝水过少时关断第一水源管、开通第二水源管，蒸汽发生器持续产生蒸汽，同时通过补水孔向水盒中补水，待补水达到要求后再开通第一水源管、关断第二水源管，恢复使用水盒单元中的水产生蒸汽。
工业实用性
本申请公开了一种干衣机用冷凝水收集蒸发装置、干衣机及其控制方法。所述装置包括被配置为收集冷凝水的水盒单元、被配置为产生蒸汽的蒸汽发生器、以及连接在水盒单元和蒸汽发生器之间的第一水源管。所述干衣机设置有上述的冷凝水收集蒸发装置。基于上述干衣机的控制方法使用水盒单元收集冷凝水，当需要对干衣机内部衣物喷蒸汽时导通第一水源管，使冷凝水从水盒单元流入蒸汽发生器，产生蒸汽。所述干衣机用冷凝水收集蒸发装置、干衣机及其控制方法结构更简单、合理，成本低，控制流程更简洁，控制精度更高。
