The embodiment of the application provides a condenser and a washing machine, so as to solve the problem that the existing condenser is not strong in self-cleaning capability, and the following description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 and fig. 2 show an example of a washing machine, where fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the washing machine provided in the embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a condenser in the washing machine shown in fig. 1. The washing machine 100 may be a drum washing machine, a twin tub washing machine, or a full automatic pulsator washing machine. Illustratively, the drum washing machine is controlled by a microcomputer, clothes are not wound, the washing is uniform, the wear rate is 10% lower than that of a full-automatic impeller washing machine, and the drum washing machine can wash clothes such as cashmere, wool, silk and the like, so that the full-scale washing is realized. Or heating to dissolve the washing powder sufficiently to exert the decontamination efficiency of the washing powder sufficiently. High-concentration laundry detergent can be formed in the barrel, and an ideal laundry effect is achieved under the condition of water saving. Some drum washing machines have the functions of disinfection, sterilization, drying, water supply and drainage and the like besides washing and dewatering, and meet the requirements of consumers in different regions and living environments. When the washing machine 100 performs the drying operation, hot air carrying a large amount of moisture is sucked from the air inlet 215 of the condenser 200 and condensed into water in the condenser 200, and most of the cooled air passes through the air outlet 214 and is heated by the heater to be dry air, and the dry air enters the washing drum 110 of the washing machine 100 to dry the laundry.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, fig. 4 is another schematic view of a partial structure of a condenser in the washing machine shown in fig. 1, and fig. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion a of fig. 4.

The condenser 200 includes a condensation cover 210, a spraying member 220 and a filtering member 240, wherein the spraying member 220 and the filtering member 240 are disposed in a cavity 211 of the condensation cover 210.

The condensation cover 210 has an air inlet 215 and an air outlet 214, so that hot gas carrying a large amount of water vapor enters from the air inlet 215, the water vapor is liquefied in the cavity 211, the cooled dry gas is discharged from the air outlet 214, and finally the cooled dry gas is circulated into the drying channel for heating.

Wherein, the filtering element 240 is located in the cavity 211 downstream of the water flow path, so that the water sprayed from the spraying element 220 passes through the filtering element 240, and the filtering element 240 is configured to filter the impurities in the cavity 211. It will be appreciated that the wind entering from the wind inlet 215 entrains the impurities, and the impurities may be attached to the filter member 240 when passing through the filter member 240, and the impurities on the filter member 240 are washed away because the water sprayed from the spraying member 220 passes through the filter member 240. It will be appreciated that the debris may include lint, hair, etc. from the clothing.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a spray member of a condenser according to an embodiment of the present application. The spray member 220 is disposed in the cavity 211 formed by the condensation cover 210, and the spray member 220 has a water outlet hole 221, the water outlet hole 221 is configured to spray water into the cavity 211, and the filter member 240 is located downstream of the water flow path in the cavity 211, so that the water sprayed from the spray member 220 flows through the filter member 240, and the filter member 240 is configured to filter impurities in the cavity 211. It can be understood that the impurities entering the cavity 211 are attached to the filter element 240, and the water flowing out through the spraying member 220 washes the filter element 240, so that the impurities can wash out of the condenser 200 along with the water flow, thereby realizing the self-cleaning of the condenser 200.

The spraying member 220 is disposed in the cavity 211 and connected to the condensation cover 210, the spraying member 220 has a water outlet 221, and the water outlet 221 is configured to spray water into the cavity 211. Illustratively, the spray member 220 includes a transition portion 225 and an inlet pipe 223, the transition portion 225 is connected with the inlet pipe 223, a water outlet hole 221 is formed in the transition portion 225, and the water outlet hole 221 is communicated with the inlet pipe 223, so that water entering from the inlet pipe 223 is sprayed out through the water outlet hole 221. It can be understood that one or more water outlet holes 221 may be provided, and multiple water outlet holes 221 may form multiple clusters of dense water flows, so that the contact area with the hot gas is increased, and the condensation speed is effectively increased. The shape of the water outlet hole 221 may be a through hole 231 having various shapes such as a circular hole.

With continued reference to fig. 4, the surface of the filter element 240 through which water flows has teeth 241, and the teeth 241 are configured to adhere to impurities. It will be appreciated that increasing the roughness of the surface over which the filter element 240 passes through the water increases the ability to adsorb contaminants and improves the self-cleaning ability of the condenser. The tooth-shaped structure 241 comprises a tooth gap and a tooth surface, the tooth gap of the tooth-shaped structure 241 can be opposite to the direction of the water flow, under the condition, the water flow can flow down along the tooth gap and the tooth surface, the smoothness of the water flow is increased, and the cleaning capability of the water flow along with the filter piece 240 is easier to increase.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 5, the condenser 200 further includes a sealing member 230, wherein the sealing member 230 is disposed around the spraying member 220. The sealing member 230 is provided with a through hole 231 so that the water sprayed from the spray member 220 enters the cavity 211 through the through hole 231. It is understood that the spray member 220 may have a certain distance from the sealing member 230, that is, a cavity 211 exists between the spray member 220 and the sealing member 230, and the cavity 211 receives the water sprayed from the spray member 220 and then flows out from the through hole 231 through the cavity 211; or, the spray member 220 is tightly attached to the sealing member 230, and the through hole 231 formed in the sealing member 230 corresponds to the water outlet hole 221 formed in the spray member 220, so that water sprayed from the spray member 220 directly enters the cavity 211 through the through hole 231.

The surface of the spraying piece 220 is rough and uneven, so that sundries are easy to hang, the sundries hung on the surface of the spraying piece 220 are not easy to be washed off by sprayed water, the sealing piece 230 is arranged around the spraying piece 220, the outer surface 232 of the sealing piece 230 is a smooth surface, the sundries are not easy to hang, and the cleanness of the interior of the condenser 200 is further ensured.

The sealing member 230 includes a first projection 233, the first projection 233 being disposed inside the sealing member 230, the first projection 233 abutting the shower member 220 to limit displacement of the shower member 220 in the first direction. It will be appreciated that the seal 230 is disposed about the spray member 220 to limit movement of the spray member 220 within the confines of the seal 230. The first protrusion 233 is disposed inside the sealing member 230 such that the first protrusion 233 and the sealing member 230 cooperate to limit displacement of the spray member 220 in a first direction such that the spray member 220 does not cause movement inside the cavity of the condenser 200 during use.

The seal 230 includes a second projection 234, the second projection 234 also being disposed inside the seal 230. Wherein, the spray member 220 is provided with a groove 222 corresponding to the second protrusion 234, and the groove 222 is matched with the second protrusion 234 to limit the displacement of the spray member 220 in the second direction. Wherein the first direction is different from the second direction. As above, the seal 230 is disposed around the spray member 220 to limit movement of the spray member 220 within the confines of the seal 230. Next, the second protrusion 234 is disposed inside the seal 230 such that the second protrusion 234 and the seal 230 cooperate to limit displacement of the spray member 220 in the second direction such that the spray member 220 does not cause movement within the cavity of the condenser 200 during use.

It will be appreciated that the first and second projections 233, 234 not only limit the displacement of the spray member 220 within the seal 230, but also serve as guides for the spray member 220 during installation. The guiding function is specifically to mount the sealing member 230 and then the spraying member 220 during the installation of the condenser 200. Since the sealing member 230 includes the first protrusion 233 and the second protrusion 234, not only a mounting position is reserved for the spray member 220, but also when the spray member 220 is pushed into the sealing member 230, the edges of the first protrusion 233 and the second protrusion 234 guide the spray member 220, and the spray member 220 can be mounted in the sealing member 230 along the first protrusion 233 and the second protrusion 234.

Referring to fig. 3, the cavity 211 of the condenser 200 includes a first section 2111, a second section 2112 and a third section 2113 which are sequentially communicated, the first section 2111 is used for air intake, the third section 2113 is used for air outlet, the inner diameter of the second section 2112 is smaller than that of the first section 2111, and the inner diameter of the second section 2112 is smaller than that of the third section 2113. Wherein the spray member 220 is disposed in the third section 2113 and the filter member 240 is disposed in the first section 2111.

Since the third section 2113 is used for outlet air and there is a spray 220, the first section 2111 is used for inlet air and there is a filter 240. As also described above, the filter element 240 is positioned downstream of the water flow path within the cavity 211 such that water emitted from the spray element 220 passes through the filter element 240. It can be understood that the water sprayed from the spraying member 220 flows through the second section 2112 from the third section 2113 to the first section 2111, and the hot air with a large amount of moisture enters from the air inlet 215 and passes through the first section 2111, the second section 2112 and the third section 2113 in sequence. The direction of water flow from the spray member 220 is shown opposite to the direction of air flow.

And the inner diameter of the second section 2112 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first section 2111 and the inner diameter of the third section 2113. That is, the water exchanges heat with the hot air in the second section 2112, and the limited flow of water exchanges heat more easily with the hot air having a smaller cross section due to the narrower inner diameter of the second section 2112.

Please continue to refer to fig. 3 and fig. 4. The condenser 200 further includes a cooling plate 250, and the cooling plate 250 is disposed in the cavity 211. The cooling plate 250 is positioned at the second section 2112, and the cooling plate 250 is configured to flow a stream of water across the surface of the cooling plate 250.

Wherein, the cooling plate 250 can be connected on the condensation cover 210 through the fastening structure 270, and the mode of realizing the connection can be the buckle connection, gluing, screw fixation, etc. Illustratively, a snap is provided on an inner wall of the condensation cover 210 for fastening the cooling plate 250.

The cooling plate 250 can be made of a metal material, and the metal material has high thermal conductivity and can better dissipate heat of gas mixed with a large amount of water vapor. Illustratively, the water flow sprayed from the spray member 220 flows through the cooling plate 250 to rapidly cool the cooling plate 250, thereby achieving recycling of the cooling plate 250.

More specifically, the surface of the cooling plate 250 becomes wet due to the water flow sprayed from the spray member 220 or the liquefaction of the hot gas on the cooling plate 250, and the wet surface is more likely to adsorb the impurities, and then the impurities are flushed out of the air outlet 214 by the water flow.

Therein, the cooling plate 250 is illustratively curved. The curved cooling plate 250 increases the contact area between the hot gas and the cooling plate 250, which is more beneficial to the condensation liquefaction of the hot gas and the adsorption of impurities. The cooling plate 250 is preferably shaped as a smooth arc, although the rough surface can increase the contact area between the cooling plate 250 and the hot gas and can also catch more impurities, the filtering element 240 filters substantially all the impurities, and the smaller impurities are sent to the cooling plate 250 along the flowing direction of the wind, are stuck by the cooling plate 250 and are washed downwards by the condensed water. It will be appreciated that the cooling plate 250 is configured to be curved to sufficiently increase the contact area of the cooling plate 250 with the hot gas.

With continued reference to fig. 4, the condenser 200 further includes a plasma generator 260, and the plasma generator 260 is disposed on an outer surface of the condensation cover 210. The positive ions and the negative ions generated by the plasma generator 260 simultaneously generate huge energy release at the moment of neutralizing positive and negative charges in the air, so that the structure of bacteria around the ions is changed or the energy is converted, the bacteria are killed, and the sterilization effect of the bacteria is realized. Because the quantity of the negative ions is greater than that of the positive ions, the redundant negative ions still float in the air, and the effects of eliminating smoke and dust, eliminating peculiar smell and improving the quality of the air can be achieved, so that the health care effect of human health is promoted.

The condensation cover 210 is provided with an air outlet 214, the air outlet 214 is communicated with the cavity 211, and the plasma generator 260 is arranged adjacent to the air outlet 214. The positive ions and negative ions generated by the plasma generator 260 are mixed in the dry air blown out from the outlet 214 to sterilize the clothes of the washing drum 110 in the washing machine 100.

In the embodiment of the present application, the spraying member 220 is disposed in the cavity 211 formed by the condensation cover 210, and the spraying member 220 has a water outlet 221, the water outlet 221 is configured to spray water into the cavity 211, and the filtering member 240 is located downstream of the water flow path in the cavity 211, so that the water sprayed from the spraying member 220 passes through the filtering member 240, and the filtering member 240 is configured to filter impurities in the cavity 211. It can be understood that the impurities entering the cavity 211 are attached to the filter element 240, and the water flowing out through the spraying member 220 washes the filter element 240, so that the impurities can wash out of the condenser 200 along with the water flow, thereby realizing the self-cleaning of the condenser 200.
