技术领域
本申请涉及家用电器领域,具体的,涉及一种烘干装置以及具有洗涤和烘干功能的洗烘一体机。
背景技术
随着人们的生活水平提高,科技水平和产品性能的不断提升,人们对家用电器的功能提出了越来越多的要求,以满足家庭中日益增多的使用需求以减少人力。
对于家庭中占用时间最多的体力劳动之一的洗衣来说,整个洗衣过程涉及洗涤、晾晒、收纳整理等必须过程。传统的洗衣机仅仅能完成洗涤的功能,晾晒、烘干、收纳整理还需要人力进行。业界新推出的洗烘一体机集成了洗涤和烘干功能,一键启动完成,可在洗涤结束后对衣物进行烘干处理,大大节省了晾晒、收纳的人力支出。
现有的洗烘一体机的烘干系统利用吸湿模块(蒸发器或热泵)对洗烘机滚筒的潮湿空气进行加热吸湿,得到高温空气之后,再重新进入洗烘机滚筒烘干,从而使衣物中的水分得以蒸发。但是,现有的蒸发器或热泵的整体温度一致,在潮湿空气的蒸发过程中,吸湿模块对潮湿空气的吸湿能力下降,导致吸湿效率低、烘干时间长,功耗高。特别的,在空气温度较低的环境下,潮湿空气的温度也随之降低,这样蒸发器的温度很难达到吸湿温度,从而导致吸湿效率进一步降低,烘干时间更长,功耗更高,因此,需要针对吸湿模块增设循环再生的功能,持续保持吸湿模块的高温低湿特性,以便于持续、高效的实现除湿烘干,省电省时。
另外,由于行业标准的限制,洗烘一体机的整体尺寸通常是固定不变的,要在有限的空间内安装更多功能部件,并确保上述各项功能的实现,也是业界面临的一大挑战。

本申请的目的是提供一种高集成度的洗烘一体机,为解决现有技术存在的上述问题,在整体尺寸有限的洗衣机空间内,高集成度的实现洗涤、烘干、再生循环的各项功能,整个运行流程高效、省时、省电,大大节省了工作时间和能耗。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图对本申请提供的洗烘一体机的烘干装置的具体实施方式做详细说明。
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚明白,以下结合具体实施例,并参照附图,对本申请进一步详细说明。但是应该理解,这些描述只是示例性的,而并非要限制本申请的范围。此外,在以下说明中,省略了对公知结构和技术的描述,以避免不必要地混淆本申请 的概念。
图1本申请洗烘一体机烘干装置的整体结构示意图。
如图1所示,本申请的洗烘一体机主要包括洗涤用的滚筒A、产生烘干气流的烘干装置B,实现供水排水的供水组件C。
滚筒A包括内筒和外筒,内筒与一驱动部传动连接,以驱动所述内筒旋转,实现衣物的洗涤功能。
烘干装置B依次包括下述功能模组,循环模组10、除湿模组20、再生模组30。在优选实施例中,烘干装置B还设置有冷凝模组40和过滤组件60。
优选的,至少循环模组10、除湿模组20、再生模组30设置为大致在一个平面内,以便尽量降低烘干装置B的整体厚度,节省洗烘一体机的内部空间。在设置有冷凝模组40的情况下,冷凝模组40也优选的设置在除湿模组20、再生模组30所在的平面内。但本发明不限制于此,在洗烘一体机空间允许的情况下,冷凝模组40也可以设置为与再生模组30不在一个平面内。
洗烘一体机的供水组件C包括1个进水口C0、多个供水口(例如滚筒供水口C1、用于清洁滤网的滤网供水口C2、冷凝器供水口C3等)、1个排水口C4。其中,进水口C0连通外部水源,用于通过外部水源给洗烘一体机整体供水,包括滚筒洗涤供水、滤网自清洁供水、冷凝器冷凝用水等。排水口C4与外部空间连通,用于将给洗烘一体机产生的废水排出到机体外部。
下面具体介绍烘干装置B的组成结构。
循环模组10包括循环风机101、进风通道102,循环风接口件103,用于从洗衣机滚筒吸入潮湿空气,形成循环气流并输出到除湿模组20进行除湿,去除掉空气中的水分,使其变成干燥空气后返回到洗衣机滚筒内。进风通道102分别连通滚筒A和循环风机101,以便于洗烘一体机滚筒A内的潮湿空气进入到循环风机101。
循环风机101通过旋转以产生循环气流,通过循环风接口件103将循环气流送入到除湿模组20进行除湿作业。在一个实施例中,循环风机101优选的设置在水平方向,从而将来自下方滚筒A中的潮湿气流转变为水平方向的循环气流,并输入到水平设置的除湿模组20内。
优选的,在循环风机101的上游设有过滤组件,用于过滤进入除湿模组20的飞絮和杂质。例如,在进风通道102中,或者洗衣机滚筒的出风通道中,均可以设置过滤组件。
循环风接口件103设置在循环风机101与除湿模组20之间,用于连通二者并在二者之间形成循环风道。
除湿模组20包括除湿转盘200和出风通道203,其中,除湿模组20进一步包括除湿部201、再生部202。
除湿转盘200可以形成为旋转的转盘(圆盘状)或转环(圆环状)或可往复运动的平面型构造。除湿转盘200采用可吸收水分的材料形成,用于充分吸收循环气流中的水分,使得循环气流变为干燥气流。
除湿模组20按照功能可以至少划分为除湿部201、再生部202两个部分,二者分别形成为扇形,共同组合成圆盘或圆环状。在一个实施例中,优选的,除湿部201的扇形面积大 于再生部202的扇形面积,以使得有更多的区域吸收循环气流中的水分。当然还可以在除湿部201与再生部202之间设置降温缓冲部,用于对经过再生部加热的转盘部分进行降温之后再进入到除湿部,以进一步提升吸湿效率。
除湿部201通过循环风接口件103连通到循环风机101,接受循环风机101输送的潮湿的循环气流。除湿转盘200在除湿部201中吸收循环气流中的水分,使得循环气流变得干燥,而除湿转盘200本身吸收水分变得潮湿。
再生部202所在区域优选的设置有加热模块,通过加热烘干除去除湿转盘200上的水分使其变得干燥,并产生高温高湿的气流。当除湿转盘200在除湿部201吸收大量水分后运动到再生部202时,被加热烘干以去除其中水分,从而使得除湿转盘200变得干燥,待其旋转到除湿部201时,更好的吸取循环气流中的水分。因此,再生部202具备了使得除湿转盘200再生恢复吸湿功能的能力。
如上所述,除湿转盘200能够使循环气流穿过,其在除湿部201吸收来自循环风机101的循环气流中的水分,待运动到再生部202中后,能够除掉除湿转盘200在除湿部201中吸收的水分,使得除湿转盘200持续保持干燥状态,以便能够持续的吸收循环气流中的水分。
出风通道203设置在除湿模组20外侧,其设置为连通除湿模组20和滚筒A,用于被除湿后的干燥循环气流流入到滚筒A,以烘干滚筒A中的衣物。
可选的,可以在前述的除湿部和/或出风通道等位置处设置湿度检测装置,检测这些位置处的空气湿度并发送给控制装置,通过控制装置控制循环风机、除湿转盘和/或再生风机的转速、风速。
再生模组30包括再生风机301和加热模块302。再生模组30设置为与除湿模组20的再生部202连通,用于除掉再生部202所在区域的除湿转盘200的水分,使得除湿转盘200恢复为干燥状态,并产生高温高湿的气流。进一步,再生模组30产生再生气流,以将该再生部202产生的高温高湿气流带走排出,并将低湿度的干燥气流输入到再生部202,以持续除掉再生部202区域中除湿转盘200的水分,恢复其吸湿功能。
可选的,烘干装置B在再生模组30的下游还设置有冷凝模组40,其连通到再生模组30的再生风出口,用于对再生风出口输出的高温高湿的再生气流进行冷凝以形成为低温干燥气流,并通过冷凝模组40的出风口排出到大气中,以避免对洗烘一体机所处空间的大气温度和湿度造成不良影响。或者,优选的,冷凝模组40的出风口连通到再生模组30的再生风入口,以将其产生的低温干燥气流输送给再生风机301,再次进入再生模组30进行再生循环。
在本发明的一个可选实施例中,在循环风机101的进风上游位置设置有过滤组件60,优选的设置在进风通道102中,用于过滤从滚筒流向除湿模组20的气流中的飞絮和杂质,以避免飞絮或杂质进入除湿模组20,特别是避免进入除湿转盘200,否则导致除湿转盘200堵塞而影响除湿效果,进一步地,若除湿转盘200上粘附的飞絮在旋转过程中带入到再生部,由于再生部有加热模块,容易引燃这些毛絮。
本发明中,可选的,除湿转盘也可以形成为圆筒结构即除湿圆筒,相应的,转盘壳体也形成为圆筒结构。这种情况下,循环模组和再生模组有多种设置方式,例如,循环模组和再生模组分别设置在除湿圆筒的内外两侧,或者,循环模组和再生模组均设置在除湿圆筒的内侧或外侧。
下面以循环模组和再生模组分别设置在除湿圆筒的内外两侧的实施例为例详细介绍。
循环模组设置在除湿圆筒内部,整个除湿模组套设在循环风机外周,循环风机的进风口连通洗衣机滚筒,除湿圆筒对来自洗衣机滚筒的潮湿气流除湿。除湿圆筒内壁吸入来自循环风机的潮湿空气,经过除湿圆筒除湿干燥后,从除湿圆筒外壁排出。相应的,再生模组设置在除湿圆筒外周,对除湿圆筒的外侧区域进行干燥除湿,再生恢复其除湿能力。此时,除湿圆筒的内侧区域形成为除湿部,除湿圆筒的外侧区域形成为再生部,相应的,除湿循环的循环路径为:滚筒—循环风机—除湿圆筒内部—除湿圆筒外壁。
可选的,也可以按照与上述相反路径的进行循环,即循环模组设置在除湿圆筒外周,再生模组设置在除湿圆筒内部。相应的,除湿循环的循环路径为:滚筒—循环风机—除湿圆筒外壁—除湿圆筒内部。
图2显示了本申请洗烘一体机烘干装置的位置结构图。
如图2所示,在本发明的一个优选实施例中,烘干装置B设置在洗烘一体机的洗涤滚筒的上方。
如前所述,烘干装置B内至少循环模组10、除湿模组20、再生模组30中的两个设置为大致在一个平面内,即与滚筒旋转轴平行的平面内。在本优选实施例中,为了能最大限度降低洗衣机的高度,烘干装置B水平的设置在洗烘一体机滚筒的上方,也就是说,烘干装置B内至少循环模组10的旋转轴、除湿模组20的旋转轴、再生模组30的旋转轴彼此平行,且垂直于洗衣机上壳或洗烘一体机滚筒的旋转轴。
这种情况下,洗烘一体机的整体高度取决于滚筒直径和置于滚筒上方的除湿模组20(包括其壳体)的厚度,而循环模组10、再生模组30、冷凝模组40等可以布置在滚筒侧上方(由于滚筒是近似水平圆柱形,在侧上方会有更大的竖向空间以供循环风机、再生风机、冷凝器安装)。
进一步,由于除湿转盘200和循环风机101的直径比较大,占用了烘干装置B的大部分平面区域,优选的,除湿转盘200和循环风机101可以设置为其旋转轴与滚筒旋转轴异面且大致垂直或成夹角,且分布在滚筒旋转轴两侧。这样,可以更方便的设置烘干装置B与滚筒连通的进风通道102、出风通道203的位置和路径,使得循环风的循环路径更加通畅,提高循环烘干效率。此外,这种布置结构下,除湿转盘200、循环风机101能够更合理地分布在滚筒上部空间,从整体上降低整个机体的高度。
本实施例中,再生风机301的直径设置为小于循环风机101的直径,循环风机101的直径小于除湿转盘200的直径,主要是由于循环气流需要较高流速和流量以增加转盘的吸湿效率。因此,优选的,再生风机301可以设置在循环风机101的一侧,与除湿转盘200分别占据在滚筒旋转轴的两侧,以充分利用洗烘一体机内部的有限空间,并且便于循环风和再生风的路径设置和气流通畅。
本实施例中,由于烘干装置B水平的设置在洗烘一体机滚筒的上部,烘干装置的进风通道102(也即滚筒的出风通道)可以较优的路径连通滚筒A出风口和循环风机101进风口,以便于洗烘一体机滚筒A内的潮湿空气更顺畅、快速的进入到循环风机101。同样的,出风通道203可以较优路径连通除湿模组20出风口和滚筒A进风口,以便被除湿后的干燥循环气流更顺畅、快速的流入到滚筒A,以烘干滚筒A中的衣物。
图3显示了本发明实施例的烘干装置进风通道的位置示意图。
如图3a所示,烘干装置的进风通道102设置在滚筒左后方,其他各部件如之前描述的情况。

进一步,本实施例中,烘干装置B的进风通道102设置为依次沿着洗烘一体机的底部、后部和/或上部延伸且连通滚筒的出风口和循环风机101进风口。出风通道203设置为沿着洗烘一体机的后部延伸且连通除湿模组20出风口和滚筒的进风口。
下面介绍本发明洗烘一体机的烘干装置B的封装壳体结构。
图6显示了本申请烘干装置封装壳体下壳体结构图。
参见图6,本发明中,整个烘干装置B的封装壳体50包括下壳体和上壳体。其中,下壳体上形成有用于安置除湿转盘200的转盘下壳体501、安置循环风机101的循环下壳体502、安置冷凝器401的冷凝下壳体503、安置再生风机301的再生下壳体504。这些下壳体部件可以一体成型为一个整体下壳体,也可以是分立的多个部件壳体。
上壳体包括分立设置的转盘上壳体505、循环上壳体506、冷凝上壳体507等。下面详细介绍这些壳体部件。
图6显示了本发明实施例烘干装置封装壳体下壳体结构图。
如图6所示,在本发明的一个具体实施例中,优选的,烘干装置B的各个下壳体部件一体成型为一个整体下壳体,该下壳体与洗烘一体机外壳边缘对应的位置上相应的设置有一个 或多个安装部509,用于将整个烘干装置B固定至洗衣机框架。
在该实施例中,烘干装置的一体化下壳体分别设置有转盘安装区501'、循环安装区502'、冷凝安装区503'和再生安装区504'。其中,循环风机包括风机叶轮以及分别罩设于叶轮和电机的循环上壳体506,以及循环安装区502'。再生风机301可以为整体风机,这种情况下,只需在烘干装置的壳体上预留安装空间即可。
在本发明的该实施例中,烘干装置具有一体化下壳体,整个烘干装置通过下壳体和/或上壳体上的安装部509固定安装至洗衣机外框架,优选的,在滚筒出气通道和进气通道与烘干装置连通的部分设置有柔性波纹管,以避免滚筒振动传递至烘干装置。
参见图6,在本发明的另一个实施例中,可选的,烘干装置B的各个组件采用分体组装方式,这种情况下,烘干装置B的下壳体包括分体形成的转盘下壳体501、循环下壳体502、冷凝下壳体503、再生下壳体504等多个部件壳体,即烘干装置通过上述各个壳体的组装而成。
进一步,在本实施例中,这些组件壳体固定硬性连接到滚筒外筒体上,在洗衣、烘干过程中伴随着滚筒的运动而振动。这种形式下,由于除湿转盘是脆性的,振动可能会对除湿转盘造成影响,且烘干过程中持续转动的构件,有可能对其有损坏。
在本发明的又一个实施例中,可选的,烘干装置B的各个组件采用分体组装方式,进一步,将转盘下壳体501固定硬性连接至洗衣机框架上,而其他组件壳体(循环下壳体502、冷凝下壳体503、再生下壳体504等)分体或一体成型的固定硬性连接至滚筒外筒或可选择地连接至洗衣机框架上。
如此设置的优点在于,由于滚筒振动对其他组件造成的影响比除湿转盘小,所以可以有效避免除湿转盘的损坏,同时减小一体化成型烘干装置下壳体的成本。进一步,在这种情况下,除湿模组20的进风口(转盘下壳体501与循环模组10的接口处)和出风口(转盘上壳体505与洗衣机滚筒的接口处,连通出风通道203)的连接处优选的形成为柔性连接(例如波纹软管),以进一步避免滚筒的振动通过其他组件传导给除湿转盘,降低其振动损坏。
进一步,优选的,可以将再生模组30中与加热模块302连通的再生风出口连接件3014和再生风出口3012也设置为柔性连接(例如波纹软管),也就是说,将除湿转盘壳体与所有产生振动的组件之间的管路均采用柔性连接,以隔离振动的传导,降低振动对除湿转盘的损坏。
图7显示了本申请烘干装置封装壳体上壳体结构图。
如图7所示,在本发明的一个具体实施例中,优选的,烘干装置B的上壳体形成为分立的转盘上壳体505、循环上壳体506、冷凝上壳体507等。
其中,转盘上壳体505内部设置有上壳体再生区分隔件505-3,用于在转盘上壳体505中将除湿转盘至少分隔为除湿部201、再生部202这两个区域,优选的,再生部202的面积小于除湿部201。
本发明的实施例中,烘干装置主要通过洗衣机框架、洗衣机滚筒两个部件,实现烘干装置与洗衣机本体的连接和固定。下面详细介绍本发明的烘干装置与洗衣机的连接结构。
图8显示了本发明烘干装置与洗衣机框架的连接结构。
下面,以烘干装置设置在洗衣机顶部的实施例举例说明该连接结构,但本发明不限制于 此。
在该优选实施例中,烘干装置以整体模块的方式安装至洗衣机框架顶部,通过烘干装置的上壳体、下壳体伸出的安装部509固定在洗衣机箱体上的顶部前支架、左右支架和后箱体上,保证整套系统的稳定性,同时为线路和管路布局提供空间。
烘干装置的安装部509,优选的在烘干装置下壳体和/或上壳体边缘处形成多个搭接部(或挂耳)以方便安装固定,搭接到洗衣机框架上并锁死固定,从而实现整个烘干装置的安装固定。
如图8所示,洗衣机框架顶部的四个框架边1对应的位置处,分别设置有至少一个安装部509,这些安装部509一体成型的形成在烘干装置下壳体和/或上壳体上,以合适的方式搭接至洗衣机框架上紧固安装,从而实现整个烘干装置的安装固定,使其与滚筒外筒不直接产生刚性连接,避免滚筒在工作过程中的振动传递至烘干装置,特别是除湿转盘200。
图9和15显示了本发明烘干装置与洗衣机滚筒的连接结构。
如图9所示,烘干装置的下壳体与洗衣机滚筒之间的连接部采用柔性连接,例如波纹软管。具体的说,避免滚筒的振动传递至硬质的出风通道203,进而避免振动传递至整个烘干装置。
如前所述,本发明中循环模组10的进风通道102分别连通滚筒A和循环风机101,以便于洗烘一体机滚筒A内的潮湿空气进入到循环风机101。在本发明的实施例中,优选的,该进风通道102与洗衣机滚筒之间也采用柔性连接,例如波纹软管,以避免滚筒的振动传递至硬质的进风通道102,进而避免振动传递至整个烘干装置,参见图15。
需要说明的是,上述本发明实施例中烘干装置与洗衣机框架、洗衣机滚筒的连接结构,可以适用于烘干装置下壳体一体成型的实施例,也可以适用于烘干装置下壳体分体组装的实施例。
如前所述,本发明的烘干装置的位置具有多种设置方式,例如可以分别设置在洗衣机滚筒的上部、后部和下部,相应的,烘干装置的进风通道102也可以设置在多个位置,例如洗衣机滚筒的左后侧、右后侧、上部、前侧等。
在本发明的一些优选实施例中,烘干装置的进风通道102可以设置在洗衣机滚筒的前侧(即洗衣机滚筒的开口一侧),或者设置为经过洗衣机滚筒的前侧,例如,可以从滚筒左后方延伸布置至滚筒左前侧。
这种情况下,可以进行变型的结构设计,例如可以在进风通道102处于洗衣机滚筒前侧的位置设置前置滤网,以便于在洗衣机的前面板手动取出滤网。因为要手动取出滤网,最优的方案是将设置有滤网的滤网盒设于洗衣机的前面板某个部位,所以烘干装置的进风通道102(也即滚筒出风管道)实际上是要被滤网盒切断的,进风通道102至少有一部分(该部分是开口性的,管道壁能够与滤网盒配合密封对接)是靠近洗衣机机体的前面板,以便于手动取出滤网。
图10是本申请洗烘一体机再生模组的结构示意图。其中,图10a是再生模组的组装结构图,图10b是再生模组的爆炸结构图。
参见图1和图10,本发明烘干装置中的再生模组30包括:再生风机301和加热模块302。
再生风机301用于将干燥的再生气流输送到加热模块302,并将除湿转盘200的再生部 202产生的高温潮湿气流带走排出。再生风机301的进风口即为再生风入口3011可选的连通到大气,从而将大气中的干燥空气输入到再生风机301,以产生再生气流。再生风机301的出风口(未示出)连通到加热模块302,再生气流经过加热模块302的加热后转变为高温干燥的再生气流,以更好对加热模块302临近的除湿转盘再生部202进行除湿脱水作业。
再生模组30设置有再生风入口3011和再生风出口3012。具体的,再生风入口3011连通干燥空气源,例如大气,用于给再生风机301输入干燥空气。再生风出口3012连通大气或冷凝模组40,用于将再生部202区域产生的高温高湿的再生气流排出到大气或冷凝模组40中。可选的,再生风出口3012设置在除湿转盘200的再生部202区域的壳体上。
在一具体实施例中,优选的,再生模组30还包括再生风出口连接件3014,用于连通再生风机301和加热模块302,其一端口密封的连通再生风机301的出风口,另一端口密封的连通加热模块302,并形成为与加热模块302的扇形面匹配的开口形状。
加热模块302设置在再生风机301的下游位置,用于对再生风机301产生的再生气流进行加热升温。在一个具体实施例中,加热模块302设置在再生部202所在区域,可以进一步对再生部202区域的除湿转盘200进行加热烘干,将除湿转盘200吸收的水分加热蒸发为高温潮湿气流。可选的,可以在再生风机301的上游位置设置一预加热模块(未示出),可以将进入再生风机301的的再生风预加热到一定温度,该预热的再生风通过再生风机301进入到加热模块302后,可以更快的速度加热到预定温度,提高再生部对除湿转盘的再生恢复能力。
如上所述,参见图10-13,本发明的实施例中,通过再生风入口连接件3013—再生风机301—再生风出口连接件3014—加热模块302—冷凝器401构成再生循环,再生风在该再生循环系统中流动,持续不断的将干燥低温气流输入到再生部202中,将加热模块302加热再生部202产生的高温高湿气流带走替换,输出到大气或冷凝器401,再次转换成低温干燥气流,从而再生恢复再生部202的除湿功能,以持续不断的对除湿转盘200进行除湿。
再生模组30中再生气流的循环路径可以为闭环循环或开放循环,分别对应于不同的连接结构,具体描述如下。
参见图10,在开放循环的实施例中,再生风入口3011和再生风出口3012均设置为连通大气,此种情况下,再生气流的循环路径为:大气(干燥)-再生风入口3011-再生风机301-再生风机301出风口-加热模块302(高温)-再生部202(高温高湿)-再生风出口3012-大气。
在另一个优选实施例中,还在再生风出口3012下游设置有冷凝模组40,并连通到冷凝模组40的进风口。此时,冷凝模组40用于对再生风出口3012输出的高温高湿的再生气流进行冷凝以形成为低温干燥气流,并通过冷凝模组40的出风口排出到大气中,以避免对洗烘一体机所处空间的大气温度和湿度造成不良影响。这里,冷凝模组40中从高温高湿的再生气流中冷凝产生的冷凝水通过冷凝模组40的冷凝水出口排出。
图11显示了本申请洗烘一体机再生模组的闭环再生循环结构示意图。
如图11所示,在闭环循环的实施例中,在再生风出口3012下游设置有冷凝模组40,并连通到冷凝模组40的进风口,而冷凝模组40的出风口则连通到再生风入口3011。此种情况下,再生气流的循环路径为:冷凝模组40出风口(低温干燥)-再生风入口3011-再生 风机301-再生风机301出风口-加热模块302(高温)-再生部202(高温高湿)-再生风出口3012-冷凝模组40进风口-冷凝模组40(低温干燥),最后回到再生风机的进风口,也即再生风入口3011。
这里,冷凝模组40用于对再生风出口3012输出的高温高湿的再生气流进行冷凝以形成为低温干燥气流。冷凝模组40中从高温高湿的再生气流中冷凝产生的冷凝水通过冷凝模组40的冷凝水出口排出。
图12显示了本发明实施例的再生风入口连接件的结构示意图,其中,图12a显示了再生风入口连接件的连接结构示意图,图12b显示了再生风入口连接件的内部结构示意图。
参见图12,本发明的实施例中,再生风机301进风口也即再生模组30的再生风入口3011。再生风入口连接件3013形成为两端口通风的风道件,包括水平方向开口的水平端口3013-3和竖直方向开口的竖直端口3013-4。因此,再生风入口连接件3013整体形成为从水平开口过渡到竖直开口的弯曲形状,以便更加紧凑、密封的连通冷凝模组40和再生风机301并对气流进行换向。
其中,水平端口3013-3设置为连通再生风机301(连接再生风入口3011),优选的形成为水平方向的近似圆形开口,以便从竖直方向连通水平设置的再生风机301。竖直端口3013-4设置为连通冷凝器401,用于再生风机301从大气或冷凝模组40吸入低温干燥气流,从而实现再生风的降温降湿。优选的,该端口3013-4形成为竖直方向的大致矩形开口,以便从水平方向连通竖直设置的冷凝器401的出风口。
本发明的实施例中,再生风入口连接件3013可以一体形成,可选的,如图12b所示,也可以形成为上下两个零件3013-1和3013-2,分别加工完成后采用焊接工艺成型。这种情况下,上部的零件3013-1连通冷凝模组40的外壳,下部的零件3013-2连通烘干装置下壳体的冷凝安装区503'。
再生风入口连接件3013采用特定的外形在保证可制造性的前提下实现了调整风道走向和密封的效果。
图13显示了本发明实施例的再生风出口连接件的结构示意图,其中,图13a显示了再生风出口连接件的连接结构示意图,图13b显示了再生风出口连接件的内部结构示意图。
参见图13,本发明的实施例中,再生风机301出风口设置有再生风出口连接件3014,通过该连接件3014连接至除湿模组20的再生部202。优选的,再生风出口连接件3014形成为水平方向两端口通风的风道件,且设置在与再生风机301和除湿模组20相同的平面内,以便更少的占用空间,使得再生风机301与再生部202更紧密的连接。
再生风出口连接件3014优选的设置有水平方向通风的两个端口,整体形状形成为从较小端口逐渐扩大到较大端口的喇叭型。其中,较小端口3014-3设置为密封的连通再生风机301(出风口),较大端口3014-4设置为密封的连通再生部202,优选的,较大端口3014-4的开口形状与再生部202的外形匹配,以实现二者的密封连通。例如,在再生部202外形形成为圆弧形的实施例中,较大端口3014-4也相匹配的形成为圆弧形开口。
这样,通过密封连通的再生风出口连接件3014,实现了再生风机301将低温干燥气流输出到再生部202(加热模块302所在区域),带走并置换再生部202产生的高温高湿气流,实现再生部202的降温降湿,再生恢复再生部202的除湿功能。再生部202产生的高温高湿气流, 经由再生风出口3012输送到大气或冷凝器401中。
本发明的实施例中,再生风出口连接件3014可以一体形成,可选的,如图13b所示,也可以形成为上下两个零件3014-1和3014-2,分别加工完成后采用焊接工艺成型。这种情况下,上部的零件3014-1连通再生部202的上壳体,下部的零件3014-2连通烘干装置下壳体的转盘安装区501'。
再生风出口连接件3014采用特定的外形在保证可制造性的前提下实现了调整风道走向、扩压和密封的效果。
下面介绍本发明烘干装置中循环模组10的结构及功能。
如图1所示,循环模组10包含循环风机101、进风通道102、循环风接口件103、循环下壳体502(或烘干装置下壳体的循环安装区502')、循环上壳体506。循环模组10用于从洗衣机滚筒吸入潮湿空气,形成循环风并输出到除湿模组20进行除湿,去除掉空气中的水分,使其变成干燥空气后返回到洗衣机滚筒内。
循环风机101通过旋转以产生循环气流,通过循环风接口件103将循环气流送入到除湿模组20进行除湿作业。在烘干装置水平设置的实施例中,循环风机101优选的与除湿模组20大致设置在一个平面内,而进风通道102则以大约垂直于该平面的方式设置,从而将来自滚筒方向的潮湿气流转变为在除湿模组20平面内旋转的循环气流,以输入到除湿模组20内。
进风通道102分别连通滚筒A和循环风机101,以便于洗烘一体机滚筒A内的潮湿空气进入到循环风机101。优选的,当循环模组10设置在滚筒A上方时,所述进风通道102采用近似竖直方向设置,以便于洗烘一体机滚筒A内的潮湿空气由下向上的进入到循环风机101内。进一步,优选的,进风通道102采用柔性管道连接洗衣机滚筒,例如波纹软管,这样,可以避免洗衣机滚筒的振动传导到烘干装置,引起烘干装置的振动,如图15所示。
循环风接口件103设置在循环风机101与除湿模组20之间,用于连通二者并在二者之间形成循环风道。循环风接口件103形成有2个端口,其中一个端口连通循环风机101的出风口,另一个端口连通除湿转盘200。优选的,连通除湿转盘200的端口设计为与连通除湿转盘200的圆盘外形相匹配,连通到除湿转盘200的下部或上部,这样,循环风机101输出的循环风从除湿转盘200的下部或上部进入,并穿过转盘200流动到除湿转盘200的上部或下部,进而在除湿转盘200的内部的除湿部201流动循环,使得除湿部201吸收掉循环风中的水分。
下面介绍循环风机101的结构组件。
图14显示了本发明烘干装置的循环模组上壳组件示意图。其中图14a为上壳组件分解图,图14b为上壳组件组装图。
参见图14,循环风机101包括电机1011和叶轮1012。
循环上壳体506形成为蜗壳状,蜗壳形状如图14所示,蜗壳上面有线固定卡和管路固定卡。蜗壳造型独特,符合流体设计要求,作为循环风道为除湿模组20提供适当的风量和风速并进行气流导向。
电机1011用于驱动叶轮1012高速旋转以产生循环风。电机1011例如通过螺丝等固定 方式固定到循环上壳体506上。叶轮1012形成为具有多个叶片的圆环状,在电机驱动下产生高速旋转的循环风。
图15显示了本发明烘干装置的循环模组下壳组件示意图。
如图15所示,循环模组下壳组件可以独立形成为循环下壳体502,也可以一体的形成为具有循环安装区502'的烘干装置下壳体。循环上壳体506与循环模组下壳组件采用密封条(图14,循环风机密封条104)和螺丝密封固定,这时,在循环模组下壳组件设置有相应的沉槽来固定密封条。
如图15所示,循环模组下壳组件与滚筒之间采用柔性连接,例如波纹管,以避免滚筒的振动传递至硬质进风通道102、进而避免振动传递至整个烘干装置。
图15示例性地示出一种安装方式,当然可以不限于此,处于进风通道102位置的波纹管1021通过定位销固定到压板1022上,通过螺钉固定压板实现固定波纹管,波纹管形成循环风机壳体与滚筒的柔性连接。
图16显示了本发明实施例循环模组的除湿循环过程示意图。
参见图16a、图16b,循环模组10与除湿模组20共同形成除湿循环,循环风的流向如图16b中箭头所示:循环气流从滚筒内经过滚筒出风通道(内设有滤网)进入波纹软管(箭头1),经过循环风机进风口(进风通道102),从循环风机出风口到除湿转盘200下侧(箭头2),从除湿转盘200下侧穿过除湿转盘200到达其上侧(箭头3),在除湿转盘200上侧空间流动(箭头4),到达出风通道203(箭头5),然后穿过出风通道203连接件循环进入到滚筒(箭头6)。以上仅是一种气流示例,在实际中,气流也可以经过循环风机进风口经循环风机出风口到除湿转盘上侧,从上侧向下穿过除湿转盘到达下侧,在下侧空间流动至出风通道最后循环至滚筒。
图17显示了本申请洗烘一体机的供水组件示意图。
如图17所示,下面进一步介绍本申请洗烘一体机的供水组件C,洗烘一体机的供水组件C包括1个进水口C0、多个供水口(例如滚筒供水口C1、滤网供水口C2、冷凝器供水口C3等)、1个排水口C4。
进水口C0连通外部水源,用于通过外部水源给洗烘一体机整体供水,包括滚筒洗涤供水、滤网自清洁供水、冷凝器冷凝用水等。排水口C4与外部空间连通,用于将给洗烘一体机产生的废水排出到机体外部。
在一个具体实施例中,供水组件C的1个进水口C0连接自来水管,该进水口C0分别连通三个供水口C1、C2和C3,其中包括:滚筒供水口C1,用于向洗衣机滚筒和/或清洗液盒供水;滤网供水口C2,用于为滤网自清洁喷水管供水;冷凝器供水口C3,用于为冷凝器提供低温水,为烘干装置的再生循环提供冷凝水。
以上仅为本发明的可选实施例,本发明不限制于此,也可以设置为更少供水口以简化或合并供水结构和功能。例如,不设置冷凝器时,则不需要设置冷凝器供水口C3。又或者,考虑到滤网自清洁供水和冷凝器供水均属于烘干装置的功能组件,可以将二者的供水口合并为一个供水口,以降低结构复杂度。在其他的情况下,也可以设置为比3个更多的供水口,以实现更多的清洗或冷却功能,均在本发明的保护范围之内。
上述供水组件C中设置有电磁阀开关,可以分别控制该多个供水口的开闭,从而实现控 制何时向滚筒、何时向清洗液盒供水,何时提供冷凝用水或滤网清洁用水。
图18显示了洗衣机的烘干装置进风通道的连接示意图。
如图18所示,烘干装置的进风通道102连通在循环风机101和滚筒A之间,在循环风机的作用下,将滚筒内的湿空气引入到除湿转盘200的除湿部201进行除湿。
在本发明的一个可选实施例中,在循环风机101的进风上游位置设置有过滤组件60,优选的设置在进风通道102中,用于过滤从滚筒流向除湿模组20的空气中的飞絮和杂质,以避免飞絮或杂质进入除湿模组20,特别是避免进入除湿转盘200,否则导致除湿转盘200堵塞而影响除湿效果,进一步地,若除湿转盘200上粘附的飞絮在旋转过程中带入到再生部,由于再生部有加热模块,容易引燃这些毛絮。
下面详细介绍过滤组件60的内部结构。
图19显示了本发明过滤组件的结构示意图。
如图19所示,过滤组件60包括滤网601、至少一个清洁喷嘴602和喷嘴供水管603,在进风通道102内沿着进风方向依次设置,从而使得来自洗衣机滚筒的空气首先经过滤网601,以过滤掉空气中含有的毛絮和杂质。此外,清洁喷嘴602用于喷洒出清洁水以对滤网601进行清洁,清除掉滤网601粘附的毛絮或杂质,从而恢复其过滤能力,持续的对来自滚筒的空气进行过滤。喷嘴供水管603连通到滤网供水口C2,以向清洁喷嘴602提供来自于外部水源的清洁水。
在本发明的一个可选实施例中,过滤组件60还设置有清洁水流道(未示出)。清洁水流道优选的设置在滤网601的非过滤面6012一侧,并连通到洗衣机排水口C4。这样,自清洁水流从喷嘴供水管603出来到达喷嘴后对滤网的过滤面6011进行冲洗以冲洗掉粘附在滤网上的毛絮和杂质,自清洁水流冲洗完滤网后流向洗衣机排水口C4并排出到机体外。可选的,清洁水流道也可以独立设置一个排水口C5,以便于自清洁水流独立的排出洗衣机机体外。
优选的,清洁喷嘴602设置为从喷嘴供水管603到滤网601渐变成扁平状,相应的,滤网601的宽度基本上覆盖进风通道102的整个宽度,提升过滤效果。进一步的,也使得清洁水流能够覆盖滤网601的整个宽度,提高滤网601的自清洁效果。
进一步,可选的,滤网601在进风通道102内形成为倾斜延伸形状,这种形状一方面可以增加空气的过滤面积,以避免过滤面积较小的情况下一旦出现堵塞会影响气流通过效率;另一方面,在滤网自清洗过程中,如果有清洗不干净的地方,也不至于影响后续的气流通过效率;再一方面,滤网601倾斜角度可设置相对进风通道102内壁为在0-80°的范围,优选可以为5-45°,滤网自清洁的冲洗面积相应较大,从而可以有效防止毛絮等嵌入到滤网孔中不易被冲洗掉。
从图19中可以看出,来自滚筒的湿气流先经过滤网的一个面(可以定义为过滤面,用于拦截毛絮等),然后穿过滤网之后继续往上流动到达除湿转盘200的除湿部201。自清洁水流从喷嘴供水管603出来后通过清洁喷嘴602喷洒,对滤网601的过滤面进行冲洗以冲掉附着其上的毛絮等。
另一实施例中,清洁喷嘴602可以设置为在滤网的非过滤面6012,在自清洁过程中,喷嘴602可以逆着气流的流向方向向滤网喷出带有一定流速的水流,即能够对滤网形成一定冲击力的水流,从滤网的非过滤面6012向滤网喷水,以将附着在滤网上的毛絮冲走。
图19中,箭头1为滤网自清洁水流方向,箭头2为来自滚筒的湿气流流向。这里,清洁喷嘴602设置为逆向进风方向,从而使其喷出的自清洁水流逆向进风风向流动,有利于更彻底的清洁滤网601上的毛絮或杂质。该实施例中的自清洁水流逆向进风方向,既可以是沿着滤网的过滤面6011,也可以是沿着滤网的非过滤面6012,在过滤面冲洗时,水流流速和流量可以相对较小,而在非过滤面6012冲洗时,水流流速和流量可以相对较大,并且水流流向与滤网延伸面呈现例如40-90°的夹角以利于将陷入滤网滤孔的毛絮冲走。
图20显示了本发明过滤组件的喷嘴结构示意图。
参见图20,清洁喷嘴602包括与喷嘴供水管603连接的连接部6021,和鸭嘴状的延伸部6022。其中,连接部6021用于与喷嘴供水管603连接;延伸部6022从连接部开始延伸,高度方向逐渐缩小,宽度方向逐渐增大,向下形成近似扁平的水流。
进一步,优选的,清洁喷嘴602的延伸部6022(出水口)的宽度设置为大于等于或略小于(例如90%的宽度)滤网的宽度,以尽量全面的清洁滤网。
图21显示了本发明过滤组件的喷嘴位置示意图。
如图21所示,滤网601沿着进风通道102倾斜设置,其逆向迎着进风方向的一面为过滤面6011,即来自滚筒的空气中的毛絮或杂质会大量的过滤堆积在该过滤面6011一侧。因此,滤网自清洁的作用面,也优选的设置在滤网的过滤面6011。为实现该目的,清洁喷嘴602优选的设置在滤网601的过滤面6011一侧,进一步优选的,也沿着滤网601倾斜角度倾斜设置。这样,喷嘴供水管603提供的清洁水从清洁喷嘴602喷出后,可以尽量全面的喷洒到过滤面6011上。
在另一个实施例中,可选的,清洁喷嘴602可以设置为对着滤网601的两个侧面(包括过滤面6011以及与过滤面相对的非过滤面6012),这样可以同时对滤网的两个侧面进行清洁喷洒。更优选的,可以设置两个清洁喷嘴602,分别对着滤网的过滤面6011和非过滤面6012,以同时对滤网的2个侧面进行清洗,提供清洗效率和清洁力度。这种情况下,例如可以设置为一个清洁喷嘴602先喷水清洁非过滤面6012,经过设定时间后再启动另一个清洁喷嘴602喷水清洁过滤面6011;或者同时启动。这样可以进一步提高滤网的清洁效果。
优选的,清洁喷嘴602通常设置为在烘干装置停止工作时启动清洁滤网的工作,以避免清洁喷嘴喷水清洁滤网的时候,增加进风通道102内空气的水分含量,不利于烘干装置的工作。进一步,清洁喷嘴602设置为在烘干装置启动工作前开始清洁喷水,这样可以确保滤网上的毛絮和杂质被全部清除干净后,再从滚筒进风,启动烘干装置的烘干工作。清洁喷嘴602的清洁喷水工作时间可以为预设时长,也可以设置检测模块以检测滤网601上的毛絮和杂质是否已清除干净,如果检测到清除干净,则控制清洁喷嘴602停止喷水清洁。
可选的,清洁喷嘴位置处还设置有清洁水检测装置,用于检测清洁水的流量、速度,滤网的清洁状态等参数并发送给控制装置,以便通过控制装置控制清洁水的喷洒或关闭、喷洒频率、喷洒速度等。
图22显示了本发明过滤组件的冷凝喷嘴位置示意图。
在一优选实施例中,过滤组件60还设置有冷凝喷嘴605,设置在进风通道102外壁,用于对进风通道102外壁喷水进行前置冷凝。滚筒通过进风通道102进入烘干装置中的潮湿空气含有大量水分,其温度通常为常温或较高温度。通过对进风通道102内的潮湿空气进行前置 冷凝,可以预先将循环气流中的水汽冷凝成液态水,通过预设流道(例如在进风通道102外壁外设置套管,形成冷凝水流道空间)排出机体,这样,可以预先减少循环气流中的水分,提高烘干装置的除湿效率,减少除湿时间,节省能源。当然该前置冷凝喷嘴605也可以直接向进风通道102内壁注水,让水流沿着内壁缓慢下流保证进风通道壁维持在低温状态,进而对流经进风通道的气流进行冷凝。
本实施例中,滚筒出气的进风通道102的冷凝作用是通过冷凝喷嘴605向进风通道102的管道外壁缓慢喷水,保持管道壁的持续低温,从而达到对流过管道的湿热气流进行冷凝出水。故此,通常在烘干装置启动工作的时候,冷凝喷嘴605开始喷水冷凝工作,直至滚筒内衣物烘干完成,烘干装置停止工作为止;或者,在烘干阶段的前期进行启动,后期可以停止,因为前期气流中水分含量较高,通过启动前置冷凝,降低气流中水分含量,提升烘干效率。
优选的,可以在该进风通道102外套设外管,冷凝喷嘴605设置在该外管与进风通道102外壁之间,使得进风通道102的管道外壁与套设外管内壁之间形成水流空间,以引导冷凝水通过独立的排水管道排出洗衣机,或者流入到滚筒外筒与滚筒的出水通道合并,通过洗衣机排水管道排出,这样可以在实现向管道外壁喷水的同时,又可以保证该部分冷凝水不会遗洒。
可选的,冷凝喷嘴位置处还设置有冷凝水检测装置,用于检测冷凝水的流量、速度并发送给控制装置,以便通过控制装置控制冷凝水的喷洒或关闭、喷洒速度等。
在本发明的另一个可选实施例中,可以不设置清洁喷嘴,相应的,可以在进风通道102中设置一可拆卸的滤网601,以便于使用者将该滤网601拆卸清洗干净,然后装配到进风通道102中。为了便于使用者拆卸安装滤网,优选的,可将进风通道102的路径设置为经过洗衣机前端面板或侧面板设置的可拆卸盒,滤网601设置在该可拆卸盒里,使用者可以方便的打开该盒子,取出滤网清洗干净,然后放回盒子,关闭盒子。
图23显示了本发明除湿模组的结构示意图。
如图23所示,本发明烘干装置的主体部分为除湿模组20,除湿模组20从上至下依次包括转盘上壳体505、除湿转盘200、转盘下壳体501。转盘下壳体501、转盘上壳体505之间采用卡扣、螺栓、胶黏等方式固定。
进一步,除湿模组20包括除湿部201、再生部202这2个功能区,2个功能区通过转盘上壳体505、转盘下壳体501及其中的分隔件进行划分和隔离。其中,转盘上壳体505、转盘下壳体501中均分别设置有再生部分隔件,以将壳体内部空间至少分隔为除湿部201、再生部202这2个区域,并保持二者的相对密封。除湿转盘200通过转盘上壳体505、转盘下壳体501封装在一封闭空间内,通过转盘下壳体501中心的轴承固定旋转。
转盘上壳体505的内部空间对应于除湿转盘200的除湿部201,用于循环风流动。设置在转盘上壳体505上的加热模块302对应于除湿转盘200的再生部202,用于再生风流动。转盘下壳体501对应于除湿转盘200的除湿部201和再生部202,转盘下壳体501中通过下壳体再生区分隔件501-1分隔除湿部201和再生部202。
参见图23,除湿模组20的壳体部件还包括下壳体再生区装配件202-2和上壳体再生区装配件202-3,用于至少将除湿转盘的再生部202与除湿部201分隔开并保持二者的相对密封,也就是再生部202的气流尽可能少的穿过分隔件到除湿部201,除湿部的气流也尽可能少的穿过分隔件到再生部。
下壳体再生区装配件202-2与转盘下壳体501连接,用于实现转盘下壳体501与除湿转盘200之间可移动的密封接触。具体来说,下壳体再生区装配件202-2优选的设置有上、下2个,其中靠近转盘下壳体501的下壳体再生区装配件202-2为硬质安装件,用于固定于转盘下壳体501,靠近除湿转盘200的下壳体再生区装配件202-2为柔性密封件,用于与除湿转盘200可移动的密封接触。当然以上硬质安装件和柔性密封件可以互换位置,取决于如何安装。下壳体再生区装配件202-2形成为与再生部202对应的区域相匹配的形状,例如扇形,以便固定到转盘下壳体501的下壳体再生区分隔件501-1上,以便与下壳体再生区分隔件501-1共同密封的限定再生部202的空间。
上壳体再生区装配件202-3与转盘上壳体505连接,用于实现转盘上壳体505与除湿转盘200之间可移动的密封接触。具体来说,上壳体再生区装配件202-3优选的设置有上、下2个,其中靠近转盘上壳体505的上壳体再生区装配件202-3为硬质安装件,用于固定转盘上壳体505,靠近除湿转盘200的上壳体再生区装配件202-3为柔性密封件,用于与除湿转盘200可移动的密封接触。上壳体再生区装配件202-3形成为与再生部202对应的区域相匹配的形状,例如扇形,以便固定到转盘上壳体505的上壳体再生区分隔件505-3上,以便与上壳体再生区分隔件505-3共同密封的限定再生部202的空间。此外,加热模块302固定到转盘上壳体505所在圆盘平面的扇形缺口区域(再生部202对应区域),并通过热密封件与转盘上壳体505之间形成热密封。
图24显示了除湿模组密封封装爆炸结构图。
如图24所示,本发明的实施例中,转盘上壳体505与转盘下壳体501之间密封固定连接,以将除湿转盘200密封封装在其内部,例如,通过一软胶材质的壳体密封圈206实现转盘上壳体505与转盘下壳体501之间的密封连接。
可选的,壳体密封圈206为橡胶垫或硅胶垫,其与上下壳体的连接方式为金属压片加螺钉固定。具体的,转盘上壳体505和转盘下壳体501的转盘部分(与除湿转盘200连接的部分)设置有密封圈5的安装凹槽,转盘上壳体505和转盘下壳体501扣接后通过螺栓紧固,用来实现整个转盘区域的密封。
图25显示了本发明除湿模组下壳体结构示意图。
如图25所示,除湿模组的转盘下壳体501与循环风机101连通,循环风(潮湿气流)通过转盘下壳体501的开口进入除湿转盘200的下方空间(转盘下壳体501限定的空间)循环流动,进而向上穿过除湿转盘200对流到除湿转盘200的上方空间(转盘上壳体505限定的空间),潮湿的循环风从而通过除湿部201区域的除湿转盘进行脱水干燥。
转盘下壳体501设置有至少两个下壳体再生区分隔件501-1(再生部分隔件),和至少一个下壳体除湿区分隔件501-2(除湿部分隔件)。下壳体再生区分隔件501-1形成在转盘下壳体501的再生部202对应区域中,形成为较小的扇形形状,用于在转盘下壳体501中至少分隔开再生部202与除湿部201分隔开并保持二者的相对密封。下壳体除湿区分隔件501-2(除湿部分隔件)在转盘下壳体501的除湿部201对应区域中,形成为较大的扇形形状,将转盘下壳体501中除湿部201区域沿转盘周向分隔为至少两个部分,用于分隔除湿部201区域中的循环气流,通过该除湿部分隔件,循环气流从循环风机进入到除湿转盘与转盘 下壳体501的空间后分成至少两部分,避免由于气流离心力的作用,仅仅作用在除湿转盘较大的直径处,靠近圆心的地方气流小,影响吸湿效率。
图26显示了本发明转盘上壳体的结构示意图。
转盘上壳体505形成为与除湿转盘200对应的圆盘状,包括彼此分隔的上壳体除湿区505-1(对应于除湿模组的除湿部201)和上壳体再生区505-2(对应于除湿模组的再生部202)。转盘上壳体505中设置有一上壳体再生区分隔件505-3,用于将上壳体除湿区505-1(对应于除湿模组的除湿部201)和上壳体再生区505-2分隔开并保持相对密封。此外,转盘上壳体505的周向外侧设置有一循环风出风口505-4,其连接出风通道203,设置为连通除湿模组20和滚筒A,用于被除湿后的干燥循环气流流入到滚筒A,以烘干滚筒A中的衣物。
在另一实施例中,下壳体再生区分隔件501-1和上壳体再生区分隔件505-3上择一地或均设置有密封件,该密封件可以与转盘200间隔开或干涉,以保证转盘200在旋转过程中,除湿部201与再生部202之间的气密性。例如,可以在下壳体再生区分隔件501-1上固定设置密封毛条、在上壳体再生区分隔件505-3上并不设置密封件,从而密封毛条能与转盘200干涉、上壳体再生区分隔件505-3的端面与转盘200有比如0.2-5mm的间隙;或者可以在下壳体再生区分隔件501-1和上壳体再生区分隔件505-3上均设置与转盘200干涉的密封毛条;或者在下壳体再生区分隔件501-1和上壳体再生区分隔件505-3上均设置密封软胶或者不设置密封件,但保持密封软胶或者分隔件端面与转盘200的间隙在0.2-5mm的范围内以尽可能保证密封性。
参见图1、图26,转盘上壳体505的上壳体再生区505-2中设置有分隔的加热模块302,加热模块302的本体与转盘上壳体505分离设置,加热模块302的下端面与转盘上壳体505连通,以形成再生风的对流空间。优选的,加热模块302设置在转盘上壳体505所在圆盘平面内,以降低除湿模组20的整体高度。如图1和图26所示,转盘上壳体505形成为圆盘状,其中一较小部分扇形区域容纳分离的加热模块302,该加热模块30的外周具有加热器入风口302-1与再生风机301连通,用于接收来自再生风机301的干燥再生风,并将其加热为高温干燥再生风;加热模块302在扇形面的下端面具有加热器出风口302-2与转盘上壳体505连通,用于将高温干燥再生风输出给除湿转盘200的再生部202,以除掉再生部202区域除湿转盘200中的水分。
转盘上壳体505上的加热模块302与再生风机301连通,再生风通过加热模块302的加热器入风口302-1进入加热模块302内部空间,穿过加热器出风口302-2后向下穿过加热模块302加热,经过除湿转盘200对流到除湿转盘200的下方空间(转盘下壳体501限定的空间)循环流动,从而对再生部202区域的除湿转盘进行干燥脱水。
在一可选实施例中,再生风机出风口与加热模块302的侧面进风口连通,用于从与大体上呈扇形的加热模块302半径大致垂直的方向吹入再生气流。
图27显示了本发明烘干装置的除湿转盘的内部结构示意图。其中,
图27a为除湿转盘的爆炸结构示意图,图27b为除湿转盘的组装结构示意图。
如图27所示,除湿转盘200包括分子筛200-1、驱动轮200-2、辅助转动圈200-3、密封圈200-5。其中,分子筛200-1形成在除湿转盘200的中心区,驱动轮200-2、辅助转动圈200-3和转盘密封圈200-5沿分子筛200-1厚度方向并行布置在分子筛外周。
驱动轮200-2设置为环绕分子筛200-1,其圆周外侧形成有驱动齿,用于与驱动电机传动配合,在电机驱动下带动分子筛200-1旋转。
辅助转动圈200-3设置在驱动轮200-2下方并环绕分子筛200-1,用于与柔性滚轮200-4接触并相对滚动,以辅助分子筛200-1的旋转平顺。具体的,辅助转动圈200-3用于与设置在转盘壳体内部的至少一个柔性滚轮200-4滚动配合,用于辅助除湿转盘正常旋转,降低摩擦力。
优选的,除湿模组20还设置有至少一个柔性滚轮200-4,设置在转盘壳体内侧并与辅助转动圈200-3滚动接触,用于辅助除湿转盘正常旋转,降低摩擦力。优选的,柔性滚轮200-4为柔性可变形,可以在除湿转盘有相对旋转轴偏移时,辅助转动圈200-3可以将柔性滚轮200-4压缩致其变形,而又不会因为辅助转动圈与柔性滚轮200-4的抵压造成转盘旋转时产生摩擦力。
可选的,可以在除湿转盘位置处设置转盘检测装置,用于监测除湿转盘的转速并发送给控制装置,以此来确保在烘干工作中保持除湿转盘在持续转动,避免加热模块持续对一个区域加热烧毁除湿转盘。
转盘密封圈200-5设置在辅助转动圈200-3下方并环绕分子筛200-1,用于实现除湿转盘200与转盘壳体之间的可转动密封。转盘密封圈200-5可以为柔软可变形的材料,特别是耐腐蚀、不因吸水而过渡膨胀的材料,例如毛条、泡棉、软胶等。在除湿转盘200安装至转盘壳体后,转盘密封圈200-5的尺寸形成为与转盘壳体内壁有一定的空间重叠,从而实现转盘密封圈200-5与转盘壳体内壁的过盈配合,在转盘密封圈200-5弹性变形作用下实现可转动的密封接触效果,从而能够阻止循环气流从除湿转盘200与转盘外壳之间的间隙穿过,保证从洗衣机滚筒上来的潮湿气流能够绝大部分穿过除湿转盘被吸湿,而不会从除湿转盘外周与转盘外壳间的间隙漏过去。
当然,以上驱动轮200-2、辅助转动圈200-3、密封圈200-5的并行顺序是可以选择的,由于以上三部分分别实现了不同的功能,只需保证以上三部分是并行设置的即可,对具体设置顺序不作限定。
图28显示了密封圈设置在转盘下壳体的结构示意图。
如图28所示,在另一个可选实施例中,转盘密封圈200-5也可以固定设置在转盘下壳体501上,并且转盘密封圈200-5的尺寸形成为与除湿转盘200外周沿有一定的空间重叠,从而实现转盘密封圈200-5与除湿转盘200外周的过盈配合,理由同上。在这种情况下,在转盘下壳体501和转盘上壳体505的结合处的外周设置有转盘密封圈200-5,其一方面对转盘上下壳体结合处进行密封,另一方面对除湿转盘200转动密封。
图29显示了除湿转盘的减震结构示意图。
如图29所示,除湿转盘200的分子筛200-1材料特性比较脆弱,在旋转过程中容易因为洗衣机震动或与壳体碰撞而损坏。因此,为了最大程度的减小分子筛200-1的震动,避免其震动损伤,需要对分子筛200-1进行减震处理。
在本发明的实施例中,分子筛200-1的减震结构包括圆周减震件200-6和/或中心减震件200-7,下面分别详细介绍。
圆周减震件200-6采用柔性材料形成,例如泡棉等,设置在分子筛200-1与驱动轮200-2 之间并环绕在分子筛200-1外周,从而在分子筛200-1外圈与转盘下壳体501和转盘上壳体505的内圈之间形成缓冲,避免分子筛在旋转过程中与壳体碰撞损坏。
参见图29,除湿转盘200具有一中心孔,对应的套设在转盘下壳体501中心的旋转轴501-3上并以此为中心轴旋转。
中心减震件200-7形成为圆环状,设置在分子筛200-1与转盘下壳体501之间并套设在转盘下壳体501的旋转轴501-3上,用于在分子筛200-1与转盘下壳体501之间形成震动缓冲。转盘下壳体501通常与洗衣机框架之间直接连接(刚性连接或柔性连接),洗衣机的震动很容易传递到转盘下壳体501,因此,通过上述中心减震件200-7,可以有效缓冲来自转盘下壳体501的震动对分子筛200-1的损坏,同时也可以加强夹持固定效果。
应该说明的是,分子筛200-1的圆周减震和/或端面减震不要求同时设置,如果设置其中一种减震结构能起到预期的减震效果,也可以只设置一种减震结构。
除湿转盘200的分子筛200-1采用吸湿材料形成,需要综合考虑材料的水分吸附量、水分蒸发量、杀菌、机械稳定性等性能。可选的,本发明的分子筛200-1可以选用下述材料中的一种,氯化锂、硅胶、改性硅胶、沸石、活性氧化铝、13X(钠X型)分子筛等。
上述各种材料的性能分别如下:
a,氯化锂
优点:1,吸附量大,2,除湿效果好,3,再生能耗低,4,杀菌效果好;缺点:1,漏液对周边设备腐蚀,2,低湿度时除湿能力差。
b,硅胶
优点:吸附过程中稳定性好;
缺点:1,热稳定性差;2,吸附能力待提高;3,机械稳定性差。
c,改性硅胶
优点:吸附性能和热稳定性改善;缺点:工艺复杂,价格贵
d,沸石
优点:1,高温低温吸附性能好;2,热稳定性好。
缺点:1,常规条件下吸附量小;2,再生能耗高。
e,活性氧化铝
优点:再生率适中;缺点:吸附能力差。
f,13X(钠X型)分子筛
优点:吸水性好;缺点:脱附性差。
本发明的实施例中,除湿模组20中还设置有驱动装置,包括驱动电机和传动部件,用于驱动除湿转盘200旋转。
驱动装置207根据设置位置和驱动方式的不同,可以分为外周驱动装置207或中心驱动装置208两种,下面分别详细介绍。
图30显示了本发明实施例的除湿转盘的外周驱动装置结构示意图。
如图30所示,外周驱动装置207包括外周驱动电机207-1和外周传动齿轮207-2。外周驱动装置207可转动的设置在除湿转盘200的外周,用于以外周驱动的方式驱动除湿转盘200旋转。
在外周驱动方式情况下,除湿转盘200的外周套设有齿轮状的驱动轮200-2,外周传动齿轮207-2优选的套设在外周驱动电机207-1的动力轴上,并设置为与驱动轮200-2的齿轮可转动的咬合,从而在外周驱动电机207-1的驱动下,带动除湿转盘200旋转。
可选的,驱动电机207-1、外周传动齿轮207-2以及驱动轮200-2之间,也可以不直接接触连接,而是采用齿轮齿条、带轮皮带等传动带进行传动连接。
中心驱动装置208(未示出)可转动的设置在除湿转盘200的中心,用于以中心驱动的方式驱动除湿转盘200旋转。中心驱动装置208包括中心驱动电机208-1和中心传动轴208-2。
在中心驱动方式情况下,除湿转盘200的外周可以不套设齿轮状的驱动轮200-2,而是将中心传动轴208-2固定连接到除湿转盘200的中心,在中心驱动电机208-1的驱动下,带动除湿转盘200旋转。可选的,中心传动轴208-2上可以固定设置外齿轮,而除湿转盘200的中心孔内可以设置内齿轮,该内、外齿轮彼此紧密咬合,实现中心驱动电机208-1通过中心传动轴208-2与除湿转盘200的传动。
图31显示了本发明实施例的除湿模组的柔性滚轮的结构示意图。
参见图31a、图31b,在除湿转盘200的外周沿设置有至少一个柔性滚轮200-4,用于辅助除湿转盘正常运动(旋转或移动),降低摩擦力。优选的,柔性滚轮200-4设置在转盘壳体内侧并与辅助转动圈200-3滚动接触,例如,设置在转盘下壳体501内圈向外凸的安装部上。多个柔性滚轮200-4排布在转盘外壳的内壁面上,除湿转盘200与多个柔性滚轮200-4直接接触,可以保持除湿转盘200的位置在运动过程中不会过多的偏移。
优选的,柔性滚轮200-4形成为柔性可变形,可以在除湿转盘有相对旋转轴或移动轨道偏移时,辅助转动圈200-3可以将柔性滚轮200-4压缩致其变形,而不会因为辅助转动圈200-3与柔性滚轮200-4的抵压造成转盘旋转时产生摩擦力。柔性滚轮200-4可变径,或柔性滚轮200-4的转动中心位置可调整,使得柔性滚轮200-4与转盘外壳的接触点与除湿转盘200的旋转中心的距离可调整。
这样,柔性滚轮200-4与转盘壳体发生挤压时,挤压点与柔性滚轮200-4旋转轴之间的距离可变。一方面,可以消除除湿转盘200整体在运动过程中与转盘壳体内圈的滑动摩擦;另一方面,柔性滚轮200-4可变径可以降低除湿转盘200旋转不均匀与转盘壳体内圈的碰撞冲击,导致对除湿转盘200形成冲击而损坏除湿转盘200。
柔性滚轮200-4的数量优选的为6个,沿着除湿转盘200外圆周均匀分布。当然,本发明不限制于此,可以根据实际需要设置其他数量。
在另一个可选实施例中,无论是否设置有柔性滚轮200-4,都可以在转盘壳体上设置滚轮轨道或轨道槽(未示出),轨道槽可以对除湿转盘200向中心或四周方向都进行限制,可以使除湿转盘200更加稳定在保持在预设位置。
图32显示了本发明实施例的除湿模组的辅助滚轮的结构示意图。
如图32所示,在转盘下壳体501内的底面最外沿,在转盘下壳体501和除湿转盘200之间还设置有一个或多个辅助滚轮200-8,用于在除湿转盘200的运动过程中消除除湿转盘200与转盘下壳体501之间的摩擦。
优选的,辅助滚轮200-8形成为不可变形的刚性滚轮,在运动过程中直径不变。
图33显示了本发明烘干模组加热模块的密封结构示意图。
如图33所示,加热模块302设置在转盘上壳体505的上壳体再生区505-2中,并与转盘上壳体505分离设置。
加热模块302与转盘上壳体505之间优选的采用热隔离材料隔离密封。具体来说,加热模块302与转盘上壳体505之间设置有第一密封件302-3,沿着加热模块302的外部轮廓设置,优选的采用隔热或绝热材料,用于隔离加热模块302与转盘上壳体505之间的热传导。
在第一密封件302-3的上面,可选的,还设置有第二密封件302-4,用于在加热模块302与转盘上壳体505之间进行隔热和碰撞缓冲。第二密封件302-4优选的采用可变性胶质材料,例如泡棉、硅胶或软胶,包覆在第一密封件302-3上,沿着加热模块302的外部轮廓设置,用于固定、隔热,同时缓冲加热模块302与转盘上壳体505之间的接触碰撞。
由于加热模块的温度很高,如果加热模块直接与转盘上壳体505接触,时间长了会造成转盘上壳体505变形或烫坏。在转盘上壳体505与加热模块302之间设置了第一密封件302-3和第二密封件302-4,就形成一个温度传递缓冲区。
图34显示了本发明烘干模组的加热模块的网孔板结构示意图。其中,图34a显示了作为加热模块出风口的网孔板结构示意图,图34b显示了加热模块入风口结构示意图。
如图34所示,转盘上壳体505形成为圆盘状,其中一小部分扇形区域容纳分离的加热模块302,该加热模块302的外周具有加热器入风口302-1与再生风机301连通,用于接收来自再生风机301的干燥再生风,并将其加热为高温干燥再生风;加热模块302在扇形面的下端面具有加热器出风口302-2与转盘上壳体505连通,用于将高温干燥再生风输出给除湿转盘200的再生部202,经过除湿转盘200对流到除湿转盘200的下方空间(转盘下壳体501限定的空间)循环流动,从而对再生部202区域的除湿转盘进行干燥脱水。
在该可选实施例中,加热模块302形成为扇形结构,包括上下壁和沿半径方向的两块侧壁形成的空间,加热模块302包括:设置在加热器出风口302-2的网孔板303、位于网孔板303之下的加热器304,在下壁的一个侧壁往外延伸的温控器305。
加热模块302与再生风机301连通,再生风通过加热模块302的加热器入风口302-1进入加热模块302内部空间,通过加热器出风口302-2吹过网孔板303,然后从网孔板303的风孔向下吹过加热器304,经加热器304加热后流向再生部的转盘部分,这样就形成了对再生部的转盘部分进行加热脱附水分的效果。
优选的,网孔板303的多个风孔的排布形状可以与加热器304的形状一致,可以使经过网孔板303的空气大部分或全部过加热器304,避免产生空气未经加热而使加热模块的效率降低。
网孔板303的多个风孔的直径,优选的设置为沿着加热模块302的外周向加热模块302的中心方向逐渐变小或有变小的趋势。这是因为,再生风从加热模块302的外周处的加热器入风口302-1进入时,风速较高,风孔直径较大时更加易于从风孔穿过;而在靠近加热模块302的中心位置,加热模块302的空间逐渐变窄,风速变慢,风孔直径较小时,更加易于再生风尽量多的从风孔穿过。
图35显示了本发明烘干模组的加热模块的加热器结构示意图。其中,图35a为加热器与网孔板的相对位置示意图,图35b为加热器的布局结构图。
如图35所示,加热器304设置在网孔板303风孔的出风路径上,大致覆盖大部分或全 部的风孔。进一步,加热器与网孔板保持预定距离,即临近网孔板303设置,从而使风孔出来的空气得到均匀加热,同时加热器不会对通过风孔的空气产生过大的阻力。
优选的,加热器304设置在风孔正下方且往加热模块半径延伸方向略微偏移。这样,当风沿着加热模块的半径往里吹且穿过风孔时,会有向箭头所指的半径方向的速度,因此设置一点点的偏移量,可以让穿过风孔的风能正对着加热器,从而提高加热器对气流的加热效率。
如图35b所示,在加热模块302的一个侧壁往外延伸的设置有温控器安装部,其中安装有温控器305,用于监测加热器的温度或流出网孔板17的气流温度。
优选的,在温控器安装部上设置一个导热片305-1,然后温控器305设置在导热片内,即导热片305-1包覆温控器305,以通过将加热器的温度通过热传导的方式先传导至导热片305-1,温控器305直接检测导热片305-1的温度,从而可以稳定的监测加热模块内的空气温度。这样的好处是,由于空气带着热量在加热模块空间形成紊流或乱流,导致该区域的温度不稳定,如果不设置导热片305-1,温控器305所检测到的温度会是跳动的,非常不稳定,不利于对加热器304进行有效控制。
可选的,温控器305连接到控制装置,通过控制装置控制加热器的加热功率和时长,再生风机和除湿转盘的转速等,以便在开始加热时段和温度持续时段实现精准的温度控制。
参见图1,烘干装置B在再生模组30的下游设置有冷凝模组40,再生模组30的再生风出口3012连通到冷凝模组40的冷凝器入风口405,用于将再生风出口3012输出的高温高湿的再生气流输入到冷凝器401中进行冷凝以形成为低温干燥气流,并通过冷凝模组40的冷凝器出风口406排出到大气中,以避免对洗烘一体机所处空间的大气温度和湿度造成不良影响。或者,优选的,冷凝模组40的冷凝器出风口406连通到再生模组30的再生风入口3011,以将其产生的低温干燥气流输送给再生风机301,再次进入再生模组30进行再生循环。
图1中,进一步显示了冷凝器401的冷却水入口401-1、冷却水出口401-2,冷凝水出口401-3。其中,冷却水入口401-1连接至外部冷水源、冷却水出口401-2可选的连通至滚筒出水口,二者相互配合,用于为冷凝器管路提供和排出冷凝用的冷却水。冷凝水出口401-3用于将从除湿转盘上脱附的水汽中的水冷凝成液态水并排出冷凝器壳体。
图36显示了本发明烘干装置冷凝模组的壳体示意图。
如图36所示,冷凝模组包括冷凝器401、冷凝器上壳402、冷凝器下壳403,优选的,还包括密封件404。其中,冷凝器通过挡筋和限位件与冷凝器下壳403进行配合,冷凝器上壳向下挤压冷凝器周围的密封件404达到密封效果。可选的,冷凝器上壳402、冷凝器下壳403的其中之一(例如冷凝器下壳403)上设置有凹槽,另一壳体上设置有凸起,所述凹槽内可容纳密封件404(例如密封垫圈),通过凸起压入凹槽进行密封。
图36中,箭头所示为来自再生部的高温高湿气流(经过加热器的加热,水分从除湿转盘上被脱附)从除湿转盘下表面与除湿转盘下壳体之间的空间沿着箭头流向冷凝器壳体,从而被冷凝除水。
图37显示了一优选实施例中冷凝器扰流构件示意图。其中,图37a为无扰流构件的冷凝器外壳结构,图37b为有扰流构件的冷凝器外壳结构。
参见图37a,在没有扰流构件的冷凝器外壳中,冷凝循环的气流方向为:高温高湿的空 气从冷凝器入风口405进入冷凝器401所在的冷凝区域,经过冷凝除湿后变为干燥空气,从冷凝器出风口406流出冷凝器。在没有扰流构件的时候,会有部分潮湿空气从冷凝器底部直接流动到冷凝器出风口406,没有经过冷凝器401,导致这部分湿气无法冷凝,冷凝干燥的效果不佳。
为了解决这个问题,参见图37b,在冷凝器壳体内(上壳和/或下壳)冷凝风的行进方向上设置有一个或多个扰流构件407,例如挡板或凸起等,任何能改变冷凝风行进方向的构件形状均可以,用于对流经冷凝器的潮湿气流进行扰流,以使湿气流与冷凝器充分接触,避免潮湿气体没有经过冷凝器而直接流出冷凝模组。本发明的实施例中,扰流构件407也可以设置在冷凝风行进方向的一侧或两侧。
在本发明的另一个可选实施例中,除了在再生循环的下游设置冷凝模组40外,还可以在滚筒的出风口至除湿转盘之间(例如进风通道102中)设置前置冷凝模组,以将温度相对较高的湿热气流先进行一次冷凝,降低含水量,进入除湿转盘后再次进行吸湿处理。
可选的,该前置冷凝模组可以形成为独立的冷凝模组,其冷凝器入风口和冷凝器出风口分别连通滚筒出风口和循环风机入风口。
在另一个实施例中,该前置冷凝模组可以形成为冷凝套管的结构,在滚筒出风口管道上套设一冷凝套管,使得滚筒出风口管道外壁与冷凝套管内壁之间形成水流空间,通过前述的冷凝喷嘴对滚筒出风口管道外壁缓慢喷水,保持管道壁的持续低温,从而实现对流过管道的湿热气流进行冷凝出水。冷凝套管内的冷却水可以流入到滚筒外筒或洗衣机出水管道。
应当理解的是,本申请的上述具体实施方式仅仅用于示例性说明或解释本申请的原理,而不构成对本申请的限制。因此,在不偏离本申请的精神和范围的情况下所做的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。此外,本申请所附权利要求旨在涵盖落入所附权利要求范围和边界、或者这种范围和边界的等同形式内的全部变化和修改例。
