  • a clothes dryer having a clothes processing barrel assembly located in a box, including a rotatable drum driven by a motor and a tub sleeved on the drum.
  • the tub is connected to and in communication with a condensate channel.
  • the condensate channel is further connected to a fan and an air heating channel sequentially.
  • the other end of the air heating channel is further in communication with the tub. Therefore, an air circulation path is formed in the tub, the condensate channel, the fan and the air heating channel.
  • a heater in the air heating channel heats drying air flowing through.
  • the heated high-temperature drying air enters the clothes processing barrel assembly under the effect of the fan, and wet clothes in the drum are heated, to evaporate moisture in the clothes.
  • the drying air carries the evaporated moisture and enters the condensate channel, in which the moisture in the drying air is condensed and returned to a liquid state, and separated from the drying air, so that the drying air becomes cold and dry again, and re-enters the heating channel driven by the fan. Then a new cycle is started and repeats again and again to finally dry the clothes in the drum.
  • the condensate channel is connected to a water inlet pipe of cooling water. In the drying process, the cooling water flows into the condensate channel from the water inlet pipe, to exchange heat with the drying air entering the condensate channel, and condensate the moisture in the drying air.

  • the inlet of the process air channel is located on the rear wall of the tub or close to the rear wall of the tub, so that dense process air flow is generated between the rear wall of the drum and the rear wall of the tub, at which the heat exchange device is disposed to save the space, and provide higher drying efficiency.
  • a cooling medium is circulated in the fluid channel, so that no splashing or entering the process air channel occurs under the effect the process air.
  • the body includes a through hole, the fluid channel is distributed around the through hole, and the drive shaft passes through the through hole of the heat exchange device.
  • two sides of the through hole respectively include at least one fluid channel.
  • the body includes a first wall facing the rear wall of the drum and a second wall facing the rear wall of the tub, where the first wall is in a smooth structure and the second wall is fixed on the rear wall of the tub.
  • the smooth first wall is to avoid affecting a heat exchange effect by preventing fluffs carried in the process air in the drying process from adhering to.
  • the first wall is fixed on the rear wall of the tub, so that an unsmooth structure, such as a recess, may be disposed on the second wall.
  • the first wall is made of a metal or a material with no less thermal conductivity than a metal.
  • the fluid channel is folded and bent, forming an acute angle between every two adjacent bent segments.
  • the fluid channel is folded and bent, and segments bent with each other are parallel to each other.
  • the fluid channel is folded and bent, including a plurality of segments bent with each other, and along a fluid flow direction, at least some of the segments of the fluid channel are inclined downwards relative to a horizontal plane.
  • a clothes drying appliance 1 includes a tub 2 forming a main drying chamber and a rotatable drum 4 located in the tub 2 and driven by a motor 3.
  • a wall 41 of the drum 4 includes densely distributed holes 42, so that air is circulated between the inside of the drum 4 and the tub 2.
  • a rear wall 43 of the drum is connected to a drive shaft 44 for driving the drum to rotate.
  • the drive shaft 44 passes through a bearing 23 on a rear wall 22 of the tub to be in transmission connection to the motor 3.
  • the drum 4 is horizontally disposed.
  • the drum may alternatively be disposed in an inclined manner in an inclined tub. The above “horizontal” and “inclined” are based on a horizontal or inclined central shaft of the drum 4 as a reference object.
  • the tub 2 is connected to a process air channel 5.
  • An air inlet 51 of the process air channel 5 is connected to a side wall 21 of the tub 2, and close to the rear wall 22 of the tub 2.
  • An air outlet 52 of the process air channel 5 is connected to a gasket 6 installed in a front side of the tub 2. Therefore, the process air channel 5 is in communication with the tub 2.
  • the inlet of the process air channel 5 may alternatively be connected to the rear wall 22 of the tub 2.
  • the process air channel 5 includes a fan 7 and a heating device 8. After the fan 7 is started, air may be blown to enter the process air channel 5 from the air inlet 51 of the process air channel 5, blown out through the air outlet 52 after passing through the heating device 8, to enter the front side of the tub 2.
  • the air enters the drum 4 to be fully in contact with clothes, and then passes through the holes 42 on the wall 41 of the drum. More air flow passes through the holes 42 to enter a gap 9 that has a lower pressure and that is formed between the rear wall 22 of the tub and the rear wall 43 of the drum, then concentrates at the air inlet 51 of the process air channel 5 along the gap 9, and finally enters the process air channel 5, to complete a circulation flow.
  • the process air densely passes through the gap 9 between the rear wall 22 of the tub and the rear wall 43 of the drum.
  • a heat exchange device 10 is disposed in the gap 9 between the rear wall 22 of the tub and the rear wall 43 of the drum. Therefore, the hot humid process air exchanges heat with the heat exchange device 10 when passing through the gap 9, the temperature is decreased and the moisture is condensed. Then the process air enters the process air channel 5 from the air inlet 51 under the effect of the fan 7. Afterwards, under the heating of the heating device 8, the temperature of the process air is increased again, and then the process air re-enters the tub 2 and the drum 4 to be in contact with the clothes, to further evaporate the moisture in the clothes.
  • the heat exchange device 10 is disposed between the rear wall 22 of the tub and the rear wall 43 of the drum where the process air densely passes through, thereby causing the heat exchange device 10 to work in higher heat exchange efficiency. In addition, because there is no need to dispose a dedicated heat exchange channel, more space is saved, thereby reducing the volume and manufacturing costs of the clothes drying appliance 1.
  • the heat exchange device 10 is in a flat structure, and is fixed on the tub 2, for example, may be fixed on the rear wall 22 of the tub.
  • the heat exchange device 10 includes a fluid channel 11 defined by a material with better thermal conductivity.
  • the fluid channel 11 includes a wall 20 penetrating through the tub 2, for example, an inlet 12 of the rear wall 22.
  • An outlet 13 of the fluid channel 11 is located in the tub 2.
  • a cooling medium is supplied to the fluid channel 11 from the inlet 12 of the fluid channel 11.
  • the cooling medium exchanges heat with the process air in contact with the heat exchange device 10 through a heat-conducting channel wall, to reduce the temperature of the process air.
  • the cooling medium with an increased temperature is drained from the bottom of the tub 2.
  • the cooling medium may be water.
  • the fluid channel 11 may supply continuous cooling medium to the heat exchange device 10, and the cooling medium may flow in the fluid channel 11, to fully exchange heat with the process air through the channel wall, to make full use of the cooling medium.
  • the cooling medium because the cooling medium is flowing in the fluid channel 11, no splashing occurs under the blowing of the air flow, no cooling medium enters the drum 4 to wet the clothes, and no cooling medium is inhaled to the process air channel 5 by the fan 7.
  • the heat exchange device 10 in a flat structure and including the fluid channel 11 may be designed to have a thinner thickness according to a need, so that a requirement for a width of the gap 9 between the rear wall 22 and the rear wall 43 of the drum is not high, allowing the air to easily pass through the gap.
  • the heat exchange device 10 includes a flat body 14.
  • the body 14 is basically in a ring structure, including a round through hole 15.
  • the body 14 is fixed on the rear wall 22 of the tub 2 in various feasible fixing manners, for example, welding, pasting, screw fixing or injection molding.
  • the body 14 is coaxial with the bearing 23 on the rear wall 22 of the tub 2, and therefore is basically coaxially disposed with the drum 4.
  • the drive shaft 44 passes through the through hole 15 of the heat exchange device 10.
  • the heat exchange device 10 is disposed in such a way to extend to fully make use of the size of the rear wall 22 of the tub, thereby making a heat exchange area as large as possible, and improving the heat exchange efficiency.
  • the hot humid process air is prone to close to the rear wall 22 of the tub along the edge of the tub 2 and the drum 4, so that the design of the through hole 15 can enable the fluid channel 11 to be more concentrated in areas where the process air is more concentrated.
  • the body 14 of the heat exchange device 10 includes a flatly distributed fluid channel 11.
  • the fluid channel includes the inlet 12 and the outlet 13, suitable for receiving the cooling medium to enter the fluid channel 11 from the inlet 12, and for the cooling medium to leave the fluid channel 11 from the outlet 13.
  • the body 14 includes a first sheet 141 and a second sheet 142 that are respectively made of metals and that are basically in a ring shape.
  • the first sheet 141 is substantially flat.
  • the second sheet 142 includes a pre-formed recess 16.
  • the first sheet 141 and the second sheet 142 are attached and fixed to each other, to form a body 14 that is roughly in a ring shape.
  • the fluid channel 11 is formed in the space surrounded by the recess 16 and the first sheet 141.
  • the first sheet 141 and the second sheet 142 are made of other materials with better thermal conductivity, or materials at least not inferior to common metals.
  • the fluid channel 11 is divided into two paths, respectively located at two sides of the through hole 15, and respectively having an outlet 13 at the end.
  • the cooling medium entering the fluid channel 11 from the inlet 12 is respectively left at the two sides of the through hole 15, to fill the entire fluid channel 11, while evenly exchanging heat with the process air of the two sides of the through hole 15.
  • the fluid channel 11 is folded and bent, and segments 110 bent with each other are parallel to each other.
  • an acute angle is formed between every two adjacent bent segments.
  • the flat body is installed in a vertical or an inclined manner relative to a horizontal plane, and the inlet of the fluid channel is higher than other parts of the fluid channel.
  • the cooling medium is tap water. The cooling water can generate larger potential energy in an inclined bent area, and generate larger turbulence in the bent segments, thereby reducing accumulation of sediments in the water at the bent segments, so that the water flow is more smooth in the fluid channel, to prevent the fluid channel from congestion.
  • the heat exchange device 10 is installed in a way in which the first sheet 141 in a smooth structure faces the rear wall of the drum, and the second sheet 142 having a pre-formed recess 16 faces the rear wall of the tub.
  • the second sheet 142 is fixed on the rear wall 22 of the tub.
  • the first sheet 141 and the second sheet 142 respectively form a first wall and a second wall at two sides of the body 14.
