The embodiments described herein with reference to drawings are explanatory, which are used to illustrate the present invention, but shall not be construed to limit the present invention.
- In the following, a heat
pump mounting box 1 for a heat pump drier or washer-drier machine according to embodiments of a first aspect of the present invention will be described with reference toFigs. 1 to 3 . The heatpump mounting box 1 is suitable for an integrated pre-installed heat pump drying system, may be disposed at the top of the heat pump drier or washer-drier machine, which is conductive to componentizing and modularizing production and installation, and moreover has a function of supplementing cooling air to improve clothes drying performance of the heat pump drier or washer-drier machine. - As shown in
Figs. 1 to 3 , the heatpump mounting box 1 according to the embodiments of the present invention includes abase 100, an air passage guide plate (not shown), and acover plate 300. - Specifically, the
base 100 is provided with anair suction port 101, a two-device mounting chamber 110, acompressor mounting chamber 120, a coolingair supplement port 121 and abypass orifice 131. Thecompressor mounting chamber 120 is in communication with the outside through the coolingair supplement port 121, and the two-device mounting chamber 110 is in communication with thecompressor mounting chamber 120 through thebypass orifice 131. The air passage guide plate is mounted to thebase 100 and defines, together with thebase 100, anair guide passage 210 that has a dryingair inlet 211 in communication with theair suction port 101 and a dryingair outlet 212 in communication with the two-device mounting chamber 110. Thecover plate 300 is mounted over thebase 100 and at least covers the two-device mounting chamber 110. - The term "two-device" in "the two-
device mounting chamber 110" refers to an evaporator and a condenser that constitute the heat pump drying system, and the evaporator and the condenser are mounted within the two-device mounting chamber 110 separately. Thecompressor mounting chamber 120 is configured to mount a compressor of the heat pump drying system to implement heat exchange between the drying air and both of the evaporator and the condenser. It can be understood that the heat pump drying system may further include a throttling device, a fan, a sealing member, a damping member and a filtering device. - It can also be understood that the description that "the
cover plate 300 at least covers the two-device mounting chamber 110" includes the following four situations: thecover plate 300 only covers the two-device mounting chamber 110; thecover plate 300 covers the two-device mounting chamber 110 and thecompressor mounting chamber 120; thecover plate 300 covers the two-device mounting chamber 110 and the air passage guide plate; thecover plate 300 covers the two-device mounting chamber 110, thecompressor mounting chamber 120 and the air passage guide plate. - Consequently, the drying air enters the
air guide passage 210 via thedrying air inlet 211 and enters the two-device mounting chamber 110 via thedrying air outlet 212; ambient air enters thecompressor mounting chamber 120 via the coolingair supplement port 121 and enters the two-device mounting chamber 110 via thebypass orifice 131. In such a way, the ambient air of relatively low temperature is mixed with the drying air of relatively high temperature, and takes away part of heat of the condenser when passing across the condenser, so as to lower the temperature of the condenser and avoid the overheating of the heat pump drying system; moreover, since the humidity of the drying air is greater than that of the ambient air, the mixed air has a smaller humidity than the original drying air before mixing, so as to improve the clothes drying performance of the heat pump drier or washer-drier machine. - In conclusion, the heat
pump mounting box 1 according to the embodiments of the present invention employs the coolingair supplement port 121 and thebypass orifice 131 to implement the function of supplementing cooling air, such that the dry ambient air of low temperature may enter the two-device mounting chamber 110 from thecompressor mounting chamber 120 and be mixed with the drying air of high humidity and high temperature, so as to lower the temperature of the condenser and avoid the overheating of the heat pump drying system, thereby improving the clothes drying performance of the heat pump drier or washer-drier machine. - According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in
Fig. 3 , the two-device mounting chamber 110 includes anevaporator mounting section 111 and acondenser mounting section 112 communicated with each other, as well as apassage section 113 located between theevaporator mounting section 111 and thecondenser mounting section 112; theair guide passage 210 is in communication with theevaporator mounting section 111; and thebypass orifice 131 in communication with thecondenser mounting section 112 and/or thepassage section 113. Herein, the evaporator is mounted in theevaporator mounting section 111 and the condenser is mounted in thecondenser mounting section 112; thebypass orifice 131 may be in direct communication with thecondenser mounting section 112, or may be in direct communication with thepassage section 113, i.e. in indirect communication with thecondenser mounting section 112, or may be in communication with both of thecondenser mounting section 112 and thepassage section 113. - Therefore, the drying air in the
air guide passage 210 enters theevaporator mounting section 111 through thedrying air outlet 212, enters thecondenser mounting section 112 after heat exchange with the evaporator in theevaporator mounting section 111, and then exchanges heat with the condenser; meanwhile, the ambient air directly enters thecondenser mounting section 112 through thebypass orifice 131, or first enters thepassage section 113 and then enters thecondenser mounting section 112, or enters thecondenser mounting section 112 and thepassage section 113 separately, so as to lower the temperature of the condenser. - In the embodiment shown in
Figs. 1 to 3 , the two-device mounting chamber 110 is separated from thecompressor mounting chamber 120 by apartition plate 130 in thebase 100, and thebypass orifice 131 is disposed in thepartition plate 130, such that it is convenient for the air in thecompressor mounting chamber 120 to enter the two-device mounting chamber 110 directly, so as to enhance the effect of supplying cooling air. - Alternatively, as shown in
