下面结合图1至图9详细介绍本发明提供的洗衣机通风控制模块。
如图1至图2所示，洗衣机通风控制模块包括风扇组件1与壳体2，壳体2上设置有安装风扇组件1的风扇腔室204，风扇组件1安装在风扇腔室204上。
具体来说，壳体2上还设置有进风通道202与出风通道203，其中，进风通道202设置在风扇腔室204的一侧，也就是说，将风扇组件1安装在风扇腔室204上时，进风通道202位于风扇组件1的一侧。
如图4和图5所示，进风通道202一端为风扇进气口2022，风扇进气口2022与风扇组件1的风扇出风口102连通，进风通道202另一端为送风口2021，送风口2021连通洗衣机的工作腔，出风通道203一端为出风口2031，出风口2031连通洗衣机的工作腔，出风通道203另一端为排风口2032，连通洗衣机的外部空间。
如图3所示，当需要加快洗衣机的工作腔的干燥速度时，控制风扇组件1运转，空气由风扇组件1的风扇进风口101进入风扇组件1，在风扇组件1内加速后形成流动的空气，该流动的空气由风扇组件1的风扇出风口102、风扇进气口2022进入进风通道202，并沿A向穿过进风通道202后经送风口2021由B向进入洗衣机工作腔，然后带动洗衣机工作腔原有的空气经出风口2031沿C向进入出风通道203，在出风通道203内沿D向从排风口2032排到外部空间。
能够理解的是，前面所说的工作腔就是洗衣机在洗涤衣物时容纳洗涤水的空间，洗涤桶位于该空间，工作腔在洗涤衣物时容纳洗涤水，当衣物洗涤完毕，洗涤水排出洗衣机，此时工作腔内会比较潮湿，会有一些水挂在工作腔的内壁，以及洗涤桶的桶壁等接触洗涤水的部位，造成工作腔内的环境潮湿，容易滋生细菌，产生异味。而外部空间就是洗衣机的外部空间，也就是洗衣机所在的空间环境。
而使用上述的通风控制模块通过风扇产生流动的空气，然后流动的空气由进风通道202进入洗衣机的工作腔，带动工作腔内的空气流动，使得工作腔内的空气随着该流动的空气由通风控制模块的出风通道203排出该洗衣机的该工作腔，通过加快该洗衣机的该工作腔内的空气流动，使得工作腔内的空气能够快速更换，在使用过该洗衣机后，该工作腔内的潮湿空气能够快速更换到洗衣机外部，加快了该工作腔的干燥，避免了该工作腔长期处于潮湿状态而滋生较多的细菌、产生异味。
进一步来说，如图4与图5所示，壳体2具有一个风道腔室，风道腔室由第一端板、第二端板、第一侧板，第二侧板、底板构成，风道腔室内设置有分隔板205，分隔板205将该风道腔室分隔为进风通道202与出风通道203，风道腔室上部开口，通过密封盖201将开口密封，使得进风通道202与出风通道203成为两端开口的通道结构。
具体来说，风道腔室具有第一端板，第一端板上设置风扇进气口2022与排风口2032，风扇进气口2022与排风口2032分别位于分隔板205的两侧，风道腔室的另一端还具有第二端板，第二端板上设置有送风口2021与出风口2031，同样的，送风口2021与出风口2031分别位于分隔板205的两侧。
当通风控制模块工作时，风扇组件1产生的流动的空气由风扇进气口2022进入进风通道202，然后穿过进风通道202，由送风口2021进入工作腔，在工作腔中，带动工作腔内原有的空气从出风口2031进入出风通道203，然后穿过出风通道203由排风口2032排到外部空间。
进一步地，如图6所示，进风通道202内设置第一风道开关2023，第一风道开关2023打开时，流动的空气能够由送风口2021进入工作腔，第一风道开关2023关闭时，工作腔内的空气无法穿过进风通道202进入风扇组件1内。
具体来说，第一风道开关2023设置在送风口2021处。
当第一风道开关2023打开时，风扇组件1产生的流动的空气能够进入进风通道202之后，由进风通道202的送风口2021进入工作腔，带动工作腔的原有的空气流动，通过增加工作腔内的空气流动的速度，加快工作腔的干燥速度，防止工作腔长时间处于潮湿状态，滋生过多的细菌，产生异味。
当第一风道开关2023关闭时，进风通道202与工作腔被分隔为两个独立的空间，此时，当洗衣机执行洗涤程序时内部空间的洗涤水与洗涤过程中产生的泡沫无法由送风口2021进入进风通道202，当然，现有技术中也有一些具有干燥功能的洗衣机，当洗衣机执行干燥程序时，关闭第一风道开关2023也能够防止热气从进风通道202溢出。
同样地，出风通道203内设置第二风道开关2033，第二风道开关2033设置在出风口2031处，并与所述第一风道开关2023联动连接，第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033能够同时打开/关闭。
当第二风道开关2033打开时，风扇组件1产生的流动的空气进入工作腔后，带动工作腔内原有的空气从出风口2031进入出风通道203，然后穿过出风通道203，从排风口2032排到外部空间，加快了工作腔内的潮湿空气向外部空间排放，降低工作腔内的湿度，减少工作腔干燥所需的时间。
当第二风道开关2033关闭时，工作腔内的气体或者洗涤水、泡沫等流体无法从出风口2031进入出风通道203，此时第二风道开关2033将工作腔与外部空间隔开，使得了洗衣机工作时，工作腔能够相对封闭。
进一步来说，如图9所示，第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033均为板状结构，第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033分别转动连接在进风通道202与出风通道203内。
具体来说，第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033通过转轴5连接，转轴5与第一风道开关2023、第二风道开关2033之间周向固定，当转轴5转动时，能够带动第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033转动。
当第一风道开关2023转动向送风口2021所在方向转动，并扣合在送风口2021的周侧时，第一风道开关2023关闭，同时，第二风道开关2033也转动到出风口2031处，并扣合在出风口2031的周侧，第二风道开关2033关闭。
当第一风道开关2023向远离送风口2021的方向转动时，第一风道开关2023打开，风扇组件1产生的流动的空气能够穿过送风口2021，进入工作腔，同时，第二风道开关2033向远离出风口2031所在的方向转动，第二风道开关2033打开，工作腔内的空气能够从出风口2031进入出风通道203，并最终从出风通道203排到洗衣机的外部空间。
如图7与图9所示，第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033上还分别设置有第一密封件20231与第二密封件20332，第一密封件20231与第二密封件20332均为碗装的结构，开口一侧朝向送风口2021和出风口2031，当第一风道开关2023关闭时，第一密封件20231扣合在送风口2021的周侧，当第二风道开关2033关闭时，第二密封件20332扣合在出风口2031的周侧。
特别地，第一密封件20231与第二密封件20332均为橡胶材质，使得第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033在关闭时，有更好的密封性。
事实上，转轴5和第一风道开关2023、第二风道开关2033之间可以是固定连接或者一体成型，而转轴5与与腔体结构的侧板之间是转动连接，如图8所示，侧板上还设置有凹槽，转轴5靠近第一风道开关2023的一端设置连接板501，连接板501为圆形，能够卡接在凹槽内，使得转轴5与侧板之间能够相互转动；同时，分隔板205上还设置有缺口2051，转轴5的中间部位穿过该缺口2051。
送风控制装置还包括一个能够控制第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033的电机4，电机4设置在进风通道202的一侧，电机4的输出轴与转轴5连接，转轴5上设置轴孔502，轴孔502为非圆形，电机4的输出轴与轴孔502配合，通过电机4控制转轴5转动，从而控制第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033。
进一步地，为了方便判断第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033打开/关闭状态，在壳体2上还设置有位置检测装置3，位置检测装置3能够检测第一风道开关2023的位置，判断第一风道开关2023的打开/关闭状态。
具体地，位置检测装置3设置在第二端板处，第二端板上对应进风通道202的位置设置通孔2024，位置检测装置3上的物理开关穿过该通孔2024进入进风通道202内，位置检测装置3能够检测第一风道开关2023的位置，当第一风道开关2023关闭时，能够触发位置检测装置3，当第一风道开关2023打开时，第一风道开关2023与位置检测装置3之间无接触，此时位置检测装置3的电信号不同于被触发时的电信号，由此判断第一风道开关2023是否关闭。
进一步地，为了使得第一风道开关2023能够正常触发位置检测装置3，在第一风道开关2023面向送风口2021的一侧设置凸起20232，凸起20232用于触发位置检测开关。
值得说明的是，为了保证进风通道202的密封性，安装过位置检测装置3后，在通孔2024处做密封处理，使得进风通道202内的气体无法穿过通孔2024，同时，分隔板205上的缺口2051处也做密封处理，使得进风通道202与出风通道203之间的气体无法相互流动。
本发明另一方面提供了一种洗衣机，该洗衣机安装有上述的通风控制模块，通风控制模块的送风口2021与出风口2031分别通过管道连通至洗衣机的工作腔。
上述洗衣机工作时采用如下控制方法：
在洗涤或烘干过程中：
检测风道开关是否为关闭状态，若风道开关未关闭，则控制风道开关关闭，在设定时间或设定关闭次数内，未检测到风道开关关闭状态的信号，则洗衣机进行报警提示。
在干燥或通风过程中：
检测风道开关是否为打开状态，若风道开关未打开，则控制风道开关打开，在设定时间或设定打开次数内，未检测到风道开关打开状态的信号，则洗衣机进行报警提示。
其中，上述方法中的风道开关对应即为通风控制模块中的第一风道开关2023与第二风道开关2033。
以上所述仅是本发明的较佳实施方式而已，并非对本发明作任何形式上的限制，虽然本发明已以较佳实施方式揭露如上，然而并非用以限定本发明，任何熟悉本专利的技术人员在不脱离本发明技术方案范围内，当可利用上述提示的技术内容作出些许更动或修饰为等同变化的等效实施方式，上述实施方式中的实施方案也可以进一步组合或者替换，但凡是未脱离本发明技术方案的内容，依据本发明的技术实质对以上实施方式所作的任何简单修改、等同变化与修饰，均仍属于本发明方案的范围内。
