Specific embodiment
All aspects of this disclosure are related to the air-flow component for laundry treatment appliance.Laundry treatment appliance, which may be provided with, to be used for
The structure and function of washing and the clothes items in dry single utensil.In the case where such combination washing and dry utensil,
Other than the component provided in conventional washer, the additional component for drying clothes items is provided also in utensil.This
The non-limiting example of class drying part includes inlet air flow path, which includes that the air led to inside bucket enters
Mouth and air outlet slit, condenser, air blower, heating element and manifold.
In traditional combination washing and drying machine, dry air can be transported to the close bellows of laundry treatment appliance
Bucket inside.However, the drying property of the clothes items at this rear portion that can lead to close bucket is poor.The present disclosure proposes a kind of combinations
Washing and drying machine flow through discrimination wherein heating or unheated dry air flow through the rear portion of bucket with air-flow component
It manages and enters and promote device assembly, subsequently into clothing process chamber.Dry air leaves inside bucket at the front part of bucket, and
And it is guided by condenser to remove moisture, and then reentered inside bucket by air blower via the rear portion of bucket.
The drying property that such air-flow component leads to be located at the clothes items in inside bucket at any position is improved.
Fig. 1 is the schematic cross sectional views according to the laundry treatment appliance of an aspect of this disclosure.Laundry treatment appliance can
It recycles to execute to be automatically brought into operation to clean or handle in other ways any utensil for being placed on article therein, it is non-limiting
Example includes horizontal or vertical axis type clothes rinsing maching；Combine rinsing maching and drying machine；Rolling type or fixed renovation
(refreshing)/restore (revitalizing) machine；Extractor；Non- Water washing device；And restore machine.Although clothing is handled
