For the mini washing machine, a humidity sensor is used in the drying air duct to determine drying, instead of the traditional solution of setting a temperature sensor at the air inlet and air outlet of the inner tub 130, which is convenient for installation and takes up less space.

Further, the humidity sensor is arranged close to the first air outlet 121 of the straight exhaust air duct, and the humidity condition here is closest to the humidity condition of the air discharged from the straight exhaust air duct to the outside of the laundry assembly 100, and the humidity value collected by the humidity sensor is used for Judgment is more precise.

Further, the first air outlet 121 is provided with a lint collector (not shown in the figure). Because when the clothes in the inner cylinder 130 are processed, lint such as substances and filaments on the clothes are usually washed out. If they are directly discharged into the water tank 200 , the water tank 200 will be polluted. By arranging a lint collector at the first air outlet 121 to collect the lint discharged from the inner cylinder 130 , the lint collector can be cleaned regularly to reduce the contamination of the water tank 200 due to the discharge of hot and humid air from the inner cylinder 130 .

Further, a lint filter (not shown in the figure) is provided at the air inlet of the drying air duct of the drying assembly 180 . When the washing machine body 1 executes the drying procedure, fresh air from the outside is introduced from the air inlet, and the heating device 1822 heats the fresh air to form hot air to dry the wet clothes in the inner tub 130 . Due to the existence of debris such as flying dust or wool in the external environment, it is easy to inhale the debris in the external environment during the process of inhaling new air in the drying air duct, and then set lint in the air inlet of the drying air duct The filter is used to filter the incoming new air, so as to prevent the drying air duct from inhaling sundries and causing the drying air duct and even the inner cylinder to be polluted. In addition, in this embodiment, due to the arrangement of the air inlet, the fresh air in the inner cylinder 130 is replenished in time, so the outer shell 120 of the laundry assembly 100 does not need to be provided with the first air inlet 122, and the box body 220 does not need to be provided with the second air outlet 222. In order to supplement the inner cylinder 130 with fresh air through the water tank 200 .

In one embodiment, the water tank 200 is disposed toward the first air outlet 121 of the straight exhaust duct; the first air outlet 121 is communicated with the cavity 230 of the water tank 200; after drying is turned on, the hot and humid air in the straight exhaust air duct flows into the air. In the cavity 230 , the air cooled by the inner wall of the cavity 230 and/or the contained washing water is discharged to the outside of the washing machine body 1 . When the washing machine body 1 starts the drying program, the drying assembly 180 in the laundry assembly 100 starts to dry, and the heating element of the drying assembly 180 heats the cold air to form hot air, which flows into the interior under the action of the fan of the drying assembly 180. In the tub 130 , the hot air absorbs moisture in the laundry to form moist hot air and is then discharged from the inner tub 130 . For a conventional large washing machine body, the washing machine body uses a condenser inside to cool the humid and hot air to form condensed water for discharge or the air condensed by the condenser is heated by a heating element to form hot air for recycling. For the mini washing machine, due to the small overall size and small internal space, it is difficult to accommodate a large-sized condenser, so the hot and humid air discharged from the inner tub 130 during the drying process is directly discharged to the outside by designing a straight exhaust duct to adopt a straight exhaust method. In the environment, on the one hand, this method will increase the humidity and temperature of the environment where the mini washing machine is located, which will affect the user experience and the life of the mini washing machine; , The user experience is poor, which increases the user's labor and effort to clean the surface of the mini washing machine. By passing the hot and humid air generated during the drying process of the inner cylinder 130 into the water tank 200 first, contacting the inner wall of the water tank 200 to cool and/or exchange heat energy with the cold air in the cavity 230 and/or exchange heat energy with the washing water in the cavity 230, Part of the hot and humid air is cooled to form condensed water that flows into the washing water, and part of the air temperature is reduced to a certain extent and then discharged to the external environment through the assembly of the cover body 210 and the box body 220 of the water tank 200 to reduce the air discharged from the washing machine body 1 during the drying process. The effect of humidity on the external environment.

Further, a damper (not shown in the figure) is provided at the first air outlet 121; when drying stops, the damper is closed to prevent the water vapor in the cavity 230 from entering the drying air duct. When the drying is stopped, the fan of the drying assembly 180 stops running, and the drying air duct and the air in the cavity 230 will be exchanged. Since the cavity 230 is used to store water, the stored water causes the cavity 230 to have a certain humidity. , in order to prevent the water vapor in the cavity 230 from entering the inner cylinder 130 through the drying air duct, and causing the clothes that are easily dried in the inner cylinder 130 to be damp, a damper is set. When the drying is stopped, the damper is closed to make the drying air duct Communication with cavity 230 is disconnected.

In one embodiment, the first air outlet 121 is disposed on the back of the outer shell 120 of the laundry assembly 100, that is, the water tank 200 is located on the back of the laundry assembly 100, which improves the symmetry of the front structure of the washing machine body 1 and improves the aesthetics; After the hot and humid air discharged from the water tank 200 is cooled to a certain extent by the inner wall of the water tank 200 or the internal cold air or the contained washing water, it overflows from the gap where the cover body 210 of the water tank 200 and the box body 220 are assembled. The cooling of the hot and humid air is natural cooling, and the air discharged at this time also has a certain humidity. The air with a certain humidity is discharged from the washing machine body 1 and spreads out from the back of the washing machine body 1. If part of the condensation forms water droplets, it exists in the washing machine body. 1 The back does not affect the appearance, and the amount of water droplets in this part is small, and the natural evaporation is fast, which has little effect on the humidity of the environment where the washing machine body 1 is located.

In one embodiment, the air inlet provided in the drying assembly 180 for introducing fresh air from the outside is closed by a valve; the casing 120 of the laundry assembly 100 is provided with a first air inlet 122; the first air inlet 122 is connected to the The cavity 230 is communicated to pass part of the air of the cavity 230 into the inner tub 130 of the laundry assembly 100 to compensate the inner pressure of the inner tub 130 . During the drying process, the hot and humid air in the inner cylinder 130 is continuously discharged, and the amount of air in the inner cylinder 130 is reduced, resulting in a lower pressure than the outside, forming a vacuum-like state. An air inlet 122 passes the air in the cavity 230 into the inner cylinder 130 , and supplements the air to the inner cylinder 130 to compensate for the decrease of the internal pressure of the inner cylinder 130 .

Further, the box body 220 of the water tank 200 is provided with a second air inlet 221 and a second air outlet 222 to communicate with the first air outlet 121 and the first air inlet 122 respectively; the inner wall of the cavity 230 is provided with a baffle plate, It is located between the second air inlet 221 and the second air outlet 222 . Since the first air outlet 121 passes hot and humid air into the cavity 230 through the second air inlet 221, in order to reduce the amount of hot and humid air passing through the second air outlet 222 and the first air inlet 122 in sequence, it enters through the corresponding air duct into the cavity 230. inside the inner cylinder 130 , resulting in an increase in the humidity inside the inner cylinder 130 .

Further, in one embodiment, the number of baffles is at least two; two adjacent baffles are alternately arranged and distributed close to the top and bottom ends of the cavity 230 to form a curved airflow channel. The humid and hot air discharged from the inner cylinder 130 enters the cavity 230, except that it contacts the inner wall of the cavity 230 and the washing water stored in the cavity 230 and exchanges heat to achieve cooling. When the humid and hot air circulates in the cavity 230, part of the humid and hot air enters the airflow The channel contacts the baffle and exchanges heat with the baffle, so as to speed up the cooling effect of the water tank 200 on the hot and humid air discharged from the inner cylinder 130 . In addition, the arrangement of several baffles can better separate the second air inlet 221 and the second air outlet 222 to prevent the hot and humid air in the cavity 230 from entering the inner cylinder 130 again through the second air inlet 221 . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of the distribution relationship of several baffles on the first side wall 223 of the water tank 200 provided with the second air inlet 221 and the second air outlet 222 in an embodiment.
