Therefore, the condenser is provided to dehumidify and cool the hot and humid air, so that the hot and humid air can be changed into cold air with low humidity for recycling.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

It should be noted that the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly, and may be, for example, directly disposed or connected, or indirectly disposed or connected through intervening elements or intervening structures.

The various features and embodiments described in the embodiments may be combined in any suitable manner, for example, different embodiments may be formed by combining different features/embodiments, and in order to avoid unnecessary repetition, various possible combinations of features/embodiments in the present invention will not be described in detail.

As shown in fig. 1, a condenser 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is mainly used in equipment that needs to cool and dehumidify hot air, so that water vapor contained in the hot and humid air can be separated out and turned into a low-temperature dry gas. In the embodiment of the present invention, the condenser 1 is used in a laundry processing apparatus capable of drying laundry, for example, but the application range of the condenser 1 is not limited.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the condenser 1 includes a condensing box 11 and a condensing monomer 12. The condensation box 11 has a hollow structure, and can be used for mounting other parts. The condensing unit 12 is disposed in the condensing box 11, and an air duct 121 not communicated with an inner cavity of the condensing box 11 is formed inside the condensing unit 12, and the air duct 121 is used for supplying hot and humid air which needs to be condensed and flows in the air duct 121 to condense and treat the hot and humid air. In a specific arrangement, the volume of the condensing unit 12 is smaller than the size of the inner cavity of the condensing box 11, so that after the condensing unit 12 is installed in the condensing box 11, a liquid containing cavity 13 for containing the condensate is formed between the condensing box 11 and the condensing unit 12, and a liquid inlet 111 and a liquid outlet 112 which are communicated with the liquid containing cavity 13 are respectively arranged on the condensing box 11. The condenser 1 formed by the arrangement has the advantages that the air channel 121 is formed inside the condensing unit 12, and the liquid containing cavity 13 is positioned outside the condensing unit 12, so that the air channel 121 and the liquid containing cavity 13 are completely separated and not communicated. Therefore, the wet hot air flowing in the air duct 121 and the condensate flowing in the liquid containing cavity 13 are completely separated and cannot meet and mix, and further, when the wet hot air is treated, the situation that the humidity of the wet hot air is increased due to mixing of the wet hot air and the condensate cannot occur, and the dryness of the gas obtained after condensation treatment is ensured.

Specifically, the condenser 1 performs the wet hot air condensation treatment in the following manner: the in-process that damp and hot wind flows in wind channel 121 can be with heat transfer to condensation monomer 12 on, make condensation monomer 12's temperature rise, and with microthermal condensate by inlet 111 and input into flourishing liquid chamber 13, and after the surface contact with condensation monomer 12, microthermal condensate can take away the temperature on the condensation monomer 12, with condensation monomer 12 whole cooling, and then can be cooled down with the damp and hot wind that enters into in wind channel 121, the moisture that contains in the messenger's damp and hot wind can be appeared fast and become dry cold wind, thus, the cooling dehumidification of damp and hot wind has been realized. In an embodiment of the invention, the condensate is preferably low temperature condensate. After the condensate enters the liquid containing cavity 13 from the liquid inlet 111, the condensate flows in the liquid containing cavity 13 and finally flows out from the liquid outlet 112, so that the circulating flow is realized. Therefore, the condensing process can be performed by the hot and humid air inside each condensing unit 12 by continuously feeding the condensate. In addition, in the process that the condensate flows in the liquid containing cavity 13, the condensing monomer 12 can be immersed and always kept in contact with the condensing monomer 12 to cool the condensing monomer 12, so that the condensate is fully utilized. The condenser 1 effectively meets the actual use requirements of cooling and dehumidifying the damp and hot air.

In practical settings, the dimension of the condensing unit 12 in the length direction is larger than that in the width direction, so that the air duct 121 extends along the length direction of the condensing unit 12 in order to enable the wet hot air in the air duct 121 to have a longer contact time with the condensate, so that the wet hot air has a longer flow path when flowing in the air duct 121, and in the process of passing through the whole air duct 121, the wet hot air can continuously exchange heat with the condensate, thereby improving the effect of the condensing treatment.

Specifically, it is preferable that the condensing unit 12 is disposed in a manner of maintaining substantially the same shape as the condensing box 11, and the length of the condensing box 11 is equal to the length of the condensing unit 12, so that the condensing box 11 is substantially flush with the condensing unit 12 at both ends in the length direction after the condensing unit 12 is disposed in the condensing box 11. Since the region between the interior of the condensing box 11 and the condensing unit 12 is the liquid containing cavity 13 for containing the condensate, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the liquid containing cavity 13, as shown in fig. 1, two ends of the condensing unit 12 in the length direction are respectively provided with a side plate 116, and the gap between the condensing box 11 and the condensing unit 12 is sealed at two ends by the two side plates 116, so that the sealing performance of the liquid containing cavity 13 can be realized. The two side plates 116 are provided with openings for accommodating the condensing units 12, and the shape of the openings is the same as that of the two ends of the condensing units 12. Of course, the lengths of the condensation box 11 and the condensation unit 12 may also be set to be unequal in the length direction, for example, the length of the condensation unit 12 is greater than the length of the condensation box 11. Thus, at least one end of the condensing unit 12 can be beyond the condensing box 11, at this time, the side plate 116 is fixedly arranged by taking two ends of the condensing box 11 as a reference, and the end beyond the length of the condensing unit 12 is suspended. The end refers to the extreme position of the dimension of the condensation box 11 or the condensation unit 12 in the length direction.

When the condensing single bodies 12 are arranged, the condensing single bodies 12 are preferably suspended in the condensing box 11, and are supported and fixed by means of a hook or a supporting beam. Therefore, after the liquid containing cavity 13 is filled with the condensate, the periphery of the condensing monomer 12 is immersed in the condensate, and the condensing monomer 12 can be reliably cooled. In this arrangement, the two side plates 116 support the condensing unit 12 at the two ends of the condensing unit 12 in the longitudinal direction, respectively, thereby ensuring the reliability of the installation position of the condensing unit 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the condensing unit 12 can be directly fixed on the inner wall of the condensing box 11.

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the condensing box 11 includes a first case 113 and a second case 114. The first case 113 has a first cavity 1131 formed therein, and the second case 114 has a second cavity 1141 formed therein. Furthermore, it is preferable that the first container 113 is vertically connected to the second container 114, the first cavity 1131 is communicated with the second cavity 1141, and the condensing unit 12 extends from the first cavity 1131 to the second cavity 1141. Thus, the shape of the formed condensation box 11 can increase the length of the condensation unit 12 to form the long air duct 121, and can also be beneficial to reducing the whole volume of the condensation box 11, thereby bringing convenience to the installation of the whole condenser 1.

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the first case 113 and the second case 114 are vertically connected, and the flow direction of the condensate is defined as flowing from the first chamber 1131 to the second chamber 1141. Therefore, in order to facilitate the flow of the condensate inside the condensation box 11, it is preferable to provide a first arc part 115 at the junction of the first and second cases 113 and 114. The first arc-shaped portion 115 can reduce the friction resistance of the condensate in the flowing process, so that the condensate can smoothly flow from the first cavity 1131 to the second cavity 1141 under the guidance of the first arc-shaped portion 115.

In a specific arrangement, a shape in which the shape and area of the longitudinal cross section of the first container 113 and the second container 114 are kept the same, that is, the shape of the first container 113 and the second container 114 is the same, may be employed. It is also possible to arrange the first container 113 and the second container 114 such that the cross-sectional areas thereof are gradually reduced in the direction in which the condensate flows, and in such a shape, it is preferable that the floor surfaces of the first container 113 and the second container 114 are maintained in the same plane, and the top surfaces of the first container 113 and the second container 114 are arranged to be gradually inclined downward. Thus, the cross-sectional area of the formed liquid holding chamber 13 is gradually reduced in the flow direction of the condensate.

As shown in fig. 1, the liquid inlet 111 is disposed at the top of the first container 113, and the liquid outlet 112 is disposed at the bottom of the second container 114. The arrangement is that the condensate can be input from the top of the first box 113 and output from the bottom of the second box 114, so that the liquid in the liquid containing cavity 13 can be almost completely discharged from the liquid outlet 112, and the condensate in the liquid containing cavity 13 is kept in a lower temperature state all the time.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the condensing unit 12 is gradually inclined downward in a direction from the first container 113 to the second container 114. Specifically, the bottom surfaces of the first case 113 and the second case 114 are in the same plane, so that the condensed monomer 12 is gradually decreased in distance from the reference surface in the direction from the first case 113 to the second case 114, with the bottom surfaces of the first case 113 and the second case 114 as the reference surface. In this way, the condensing unit 12 is obliquely disposed in the condensing box 11, and the air duct 121 is also formed to be similarly oblique, so that the wet hot air can flow in the air duct 121.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the condensing unit 12 includes a first condensing pipe 122 and a second condensing pipe 123. The first condensation duct 122 is internally formed with a first passage 1221 such that the first condensation duct 122 is positioned in the first container 113. The second condensing duct 123 is internally formed with a second passage 1231 such that the second condensing duct 123 is positioned in the second container 114. Also, it is also employed to vertically connect the first condensation duct 122 and the second condensation duct 123 and to communicate the first passage 1221 and the second passage 1231. And the first passage 1221 and the second passage 1231 communicate to form the air passage 121. The condensing unit 12 thus formed is kept in fit with the shape of the condensing box 11, so that not only the length of the air duct 121 can be increased, but also the overall volume of the condensing unit 12 can be reduced.

As shown in fig. 3, also, since the first condensation duct 122 and the second condensation duct 123 are vertically connected, the direction of the condensate flow is defined as flowing from the first passage 1221 to the second passage 1231. Therefore, in order to facilitate the flow of the hot and humid air in the air duct 121, it is preferable to provide a second arc part 124 at the connection between the first condensation duct 122 and the second condensation duct 123. The second arc-shaped portion 124 can reduce the frictional resistance of the hot and humid air in the flowing process, and further, under the guiding of the second arc-shaped portion 124, the hot and humid air can smoothly flow from the first passage 1221 to the second passage 1231.

Specifically, the air duct 121 formed inside the condensing unit 12 may be formed by providing the inner wall of the air duct 121 with a smooth shape to facilitate the flow of the hot and humid air. Certainly, on the premise that the flow of the passing wet hot air can meet the use requirement, the inner wall of the air duct 121 can be set to be rough, so that the flowing speed of the wet hot air in the air duct 121 can be reduced, the wet hot air can have more heat exchange time with the inner wall of the air duct 121, and the efficiency of being condensed is improved. Meanwhile, the air duct 121 may be configured such that the cross-sectional area of the air duct 121 decreases along the direction from the first condensation pipe 122 to the second condensation pipe 123 in the flowing direction of the hot and humid air, so as to improve the efficiency of condensing the hot and humid air and increase the speed of air outlet after condensation. It is preferable that the cross-sectional area of the air duct 121 is continuously reduced.

As another configuration of the condensing unit 12, at least the inner air duct 121 may be corrugated or threaded, or the condensing unit 12 may be corrugated or threaded, so as to extend the path of the air duct 121 and increase the time for the hot and humid air to exchange heat in the air duct 121.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, at least two condensing units 12 may be arranged side by side in the condensing box 11. The condensing process of the hot and humid air is performed by the plurality of condensing units 12, which is advantageous for improving the efficiency of the condensing process of the hot and humid air performed by the condenser 1. Specifically, the condensing units 12 may be arranged in the condensing box 11, and preferably, the condensing units 12 are spaced apart from each other, so that the condensed liquid is present in the gaps between the condensing units 12, thereby ensuring the reliability of the wet-hot-air condensing process in the condensing units 12.

In a specific arrangement, the shapes of the air inlet and the air outlet of the air duct 121 may be in various forms, and may be the same or different. In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the shapes of the air inlet and the air outlet of the air duct 121 are different, the air inlet of the air duct 121 is square, and the air outlet of the air duct 121 is long and narrow rectangular, so as to increase the speed of the hot and humid air after condensation.

According to the condenser provided by the embodiment of the invention, the air channel for flowing the damp and hot air is arranged in the condensing monomer, and the condensate for condensing the damp and hot air flows outside the condensing monomer. Set up like this, the outside condensate of condensation monomer has not only realized cooling dehumidification processing to the damp and hot wind in the wind channel, and at whole cooling dehumidification in-process, the condensate can not take place the contact with damp and hot wind moreover, just can prevent effectively that condensate and damp and hot wind from mixing, causes the problem appearance that increases damp and hot wind's humidity. The setting of this condenser has reliably realized cooling dehumidification processing to damp and hot wind, and the condensation treatment effect is good moreover.

The embodiment of the invention also provides a clothes treatment device which has a clothes drying function so as to dry damp clothes, and therefore, the clothes treatment device can be a clothes dryer or a washing and drying all-in-one machine and the like. The clothes treatment device comprises the condenser, and the condenser can reliably realize cooling and dehumidifying treatment of wet hot air, so that the efficiency and effect of the clothes treatment device in drying treatment of clothes are improved, and the actual use requirement for drying the clothes is well met.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
