Clothes dryer
A clothes dryer includes a housing, a tumbler and a heat exchange component. The housing has an air cavity therein. The air cavity and the tumbler form a closed-loop air duct. A blower impeller for driving air to flow is provided in the housing. The heat exchange component comprises a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. The compressor is used to compress a working medium into a high temperature and high pressure state, and the condenser communicates with the evaporator through a throttle capillary. The heat exchange component further includes a reversing valve. The reversing valve can switch between two modes through a remote control program. The clothes dryer can perform self-cleaning.
1. A clothes dryer, comprising a housing, a tumbler and a heat exchange component, wherein
the housing has an air cavity therein, the air cavity located below the tumbler,
the air cavity and the tumbler form a closed-loop air duct,
a blower impeller for driving air in the closed-loop air duct to flow is provided in the housing, the blower impeller is adjacent to a first end of the air cavity,
the heat exchange component comprises a compressor, and a condenser and an evaporator, wherein
the condenser and the evaporator are placed inside the air cavity,
the compressor is used to compress a working medium into a high temperature and high pressure state,
the condenser communicates with the evaporator through a throttle capillary,
the heat exchange component further comprises a reversing valve, wherein
the reversing valve is configured to switch between a first mode and a second mode,
in the first mode, the working medium flows from the compressor to the condenser via the reversing valve, the working medium in the condenser flows into the evaporator, and the working medium in the evaporator flows back to the compressor via the reversing valve, and
in the second mode, the working medium flows from the compressor to the evaporator via the reversing valve, the working medium in the evaporator flows into the condenser, and the working medium in the condenser flows back to the compressor via the reversing valve,
a blower cover installed at a back of the housing, the blower cover covers the first end of the air cavity near to the blower impeller and a first end of the tumbler, and a second end of the tumbler communicates with a second end of the air cavity, and
a mesh filter located in the air cavity and disposed in the air cavity between the condenser and the blower impeller, the mesh filter disposed directly adjacent to the condenser and the blower impeller.
2. The clothes dryer of claim 1 , wherein a motor for driving the blower impeller to rotate is installed in the housing corresponding to the blower impeller.
3. The clothes dryer of claim 1 , wherein the compressor is fixedly installed on a bottom of the housing, and the compressor comprises an air discharge pipe for discharging the working medium and an air return pipe for backflow of the working medium.
4. The clothes dryer of claim 3 , wherein the condenser is further provided with a condenser connection pipe, and the condenser connection pipe and a first end of the throttle capillary are connected to both ends of an inner duct of the condenser, respectively.
5. The clothes dryer of claim 4 , wherein the evaporator has an evaporator connection pipe, the evaporator connection pipe is connected to a first end of an inner duct of the evaporator, and a second end of the inner duct of the evaporator is connected to a second end of the throttle capillary.
6. The clothes dryer of claim 5 , wherein the reversing valve is a four-way reversing valve.
7. The clothes dryer of claim 6 , wherein one end of each of the air discharge pipe, the air return pipe, the condenser connection pipe and the evaporator connection pipe is connected to the four-way reversing valve.
8. The clothes dryer of claim 1 , wherein the evaporator is located at a front end of the closed-loop air duct of the air cavity relative to the condenser.
