As shown in fig. 1 and 2, it can be understood that the laundry processing apparatus 1 includes a main body 100, a sealing door 200, a condensing type drying system 500 and a water supply pipe 400, the water supply pipe 400 is disposed in the main body 100, a laundry drying chamber 170 for drying laundry is formed in the main body 100, the main body 100 is further provided with a laundry taking and placing port 130 communicated with the laundry drying chamber 170, the sealing door 200 is openably and closably installed at the laundry taking and placing port 130, the condensing type drying system 500 is disposed in the main body 100 for drying laundry in the laundry drying chamber 170, a hot air supply port 173 and an air outlet 174 are disposed on a cavity wall of the laundry drying chamber 170, the condensing type drying system 500 is provided with an air supply end and an air inlet end, the air supply end is communicated with the laundry drying chamber 170 through the hot air supply port 173, and the air inlet end is communicated with the laundry drying chamber 170 through the air outlet 174. The control valve 410 may be a solenoid valve, a pneumatic valve, or the like.

Condensing drying system 500 has included wind channel 510, condenser 520 and set up fan heating module 530 in wind channel 510, fan heating module 530 includes fan and heater, the air inlet end of condenser 520 passes through air exit 174 and clothing stoving cavity 170 intercommunication, the air-out end of condenser 520 and the end intercommunication that induced drafts of wind channel 510, the air supply end of wind channel 510 passes through hot-blast supply outlet 173 and clothing stoving cavity 170 intercommunication, the end of intaking of condenser 520 is connected with the inlet tube, the play water end of condenser 520 communicates with the drain pipe 110 of clothing processing apparatus 1. In addition, a drain pump 120 may be provided on the drain pipe 110 to achieve the upper drain.

When drying is performed, the sealing door 200 is closed, the control valve 410 is opened, and cold water is injected into the water storage cavity 230 through the water replenishing pipe 400, so that the water level 233 in the water storage cavity 230 reaches a position lower than the top of the siphon pipe 300. After the condensing type drying system 500 is operated, the condensing type drying system 500 sucks damp air from the clothes drying chamber 170 through the air outlet 174, the damp air is condensed for the first time by the condenser 520 in the condensing type drying system 500 and is heated by the heater, the heated air is sent back to the clothes drying chamber 170 through the hot air supply outlet 173, when the heated air sent back to the clothes drying chamber 170 flows through the surface of the sealing door 200, the air is condensed for the second time, moisture in the air is separated out again, the air contacted with the clothes is enabled to be drier, and after the dry air and the hot air are contacted with the clothes, the air enters the condensing type drying system 500 through the air outlet 174. Meanwhile, after the water in the water storage cavity 230 absorbs the temperature of the air flowing through the surface of the sealing door 200 through the sealing door 200, the water temperature rises, due to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the volume of the water in the water storage cavity 230 is increased, so that the water level 233 in the water storage cavity 230 rises, when the water level 233 rises to the top of the siphon tube 300, siphoning is triggered, the water in the water storage cavity 230 is discharged from the siphon tube 300, after the siphon tube 300 stops discharging, cold water is injected into the water storage cavity 230 through the water replenishing pipe 400, so that the water level 233 in the water storage cavity 230 reaches a preset position lower than the top of the siphon tube 300, and the circulation is carried out until drying is completed.

In the above embodiment, in the drying process, after the sealing door 200 performs the condensation function, the amount of the condensation water supplied into the condensation type drying system 500 can be reduced, because the condensation water supplied into the condensation type drying system 500 condenses the sucked air and then directly discharges the condensed air, and the cold water supplied into the water storage cavity 230 can be remained in the water storage cavity 230 to absorb heat and then discharged after being heated to a certain temperature, the utilization rate of the water supplied into the water storage cavity 230 is higher, and more water is saved. Moreover, warm water drainage can be automatically achieved through the siphon 300, interference is not easily caused in the water drainage process, water in the water storage cavity 230 is favorably replaced, and the condensation effect is good.

Meanwhile, in the conventional laundry treating apparatus 1, air sucked by the condensing type drying system 500 is condensed by a large amount of condensing water and then heated, so that heat loss of the sucked air is large, and a heater of the condensing type drying system 500 needs to continuously operate above 1.8kW for a long time, which is high in energy consumption. In addition, since the condensing type drying system 500 condenses by directly contacting the condensing water with the air, the water content of the air heated after condensing is still very large, and after entering the laundry drying chamber 170, the drying efficiency is low, so that the drying can be completed within more than 4 hours, the drying time is long, and the energy consumption is high. In addition, cold water cannot be stored in the sealing door 200 of the conventional clothes treatment apparatus 1, and the sealing door 200 is high in temperature in the drying process, so that a user is easily scalded, and the environmental temperature is also easily increased greatly.

In the above embodiment, since the amount of condensation water supplied into the condensation type drying system 500 is reduced, the amount of heat in the air taken away by the condensation water flowing away is reduced, and the amount of heat recovered by the air introduced into the condensation type drying system 500 is large, the load of the heater in the condensation type drying system 500 can be reduced and/or the temperature of the air introduced from the hot air supply port 173 can be increased, thereby saving energy and/or improving drying efficiency. In addition, the air is condensed by the condensing type drying system 500 and the sealing door 200 in two sections, so that the condensing path of the air is prolonged, and the condensing effect of the air is better. In addition, the water in the sealing door 200 does not contact with the air, after the air is condensed by the second section through the sealing door 200, the water content of the air in the clothes drying chamber 170 is greatly reduced, the drying efficiency of the clothes can be improved, the drying time is shortened, and the energy consumption is reduced. In addition, after the water in the water storage cavity 230 absorbs heat, the temperature rise of the sealing door 200 can be slowed down, and after the water in the water storage cavity 230 is drained, the heat can be taken away, so that the overhigh temperature of the sealing door 200 is avoided.
