Abstract

The present disclosure provides a heat pump drying or washing-drying machine, including a drum for holding laundry, a heat pump module and a condensed water draining duct. The heat pump module includes a heat pump mounting box, a condenser, an evaporator, a fan and a compressor, the condenser and the evaporator are mounted in the heat pump mounting box, and the heat pump mounting box is provided with a draining port for draining a condensed water. An upper end of the condensed water draining duct is connected with the draining port, a lower end of the condensed water draining duct is communicated with the drum, and the condensed water draining duct extends along a gravity direction from the upper end to the lower end.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A heat pump drying or washing-drying machine, comprising:
 a drum for holding laundry;   a heat pump module comprising a heat pump mounting box, a condenser, an evaporator, a fan and a compressor, in which the condenser and the evaporator are mounted in the heat pump mounting box, and the heat pump mounting box is provided with a draining port for draining away a condensed water; and   a condensed water draining duct having an upper end connected with the draining port and a lower end communicated with the drum, and the condensed water draining duct extending along a gravity direction from the upper end to the lower end.   
     
     
         2 . The heat pump drying or washing-drying machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat pump mounting box comprises a base, the base is provided with an air inlet, an evaporator-condenser mounting chamber, a fan mounting chamber, a fan adapting port and an air outlet, the air inlet is communicated with the evaporator-condenser mounting chamber and the drum respectively, the air outlet is communicated with the fan mounting chamber and the drum respectively, and the evaporator-condenser mounting chamber is communicated with the fan mounting chamber via the fan adapting port, in which the condenser and the evaporator are disposed in the evaporator-condenser mounting chamber, and the fan is disposed in the fan mounting chamber. 
     
     
         3 . The heat pump drying or washing-drying machine according to  claim 2 , wherein the base is further provided with a condensed water gathering chamber, the condensed water gathering chamber is communicated with the evaporator-condenser mounting chamber, and the draining port is formed in a bottom wall of the condensed water gathering chamber. 
     
     
         4 . The heat pump drying or washing-drying machine according to  claim 3 , wherein the condensed water gathering chamber is communicated with the evaporator-condenser mounting chamber via the fan adapting port. 
     
     
         5 . The heat pump drying or washing-drying machine according to  claim 4 , wherein the condensed water gathering chamber is disposed adjacent to the fan mounting chamber, and located under the evaporator-condenser mounting chamber. 
     
     
         6 . The heat pump drying or washing-drying machine according to  claim 2 , wherein the heat pump mounting box further comprises an air channel guiding plate, the air channel guiding plate is mounted on the base and defines an air guiding channel with the base, and the air guiding channel has a channel inlet communicated with the air inlet and a channel outlet communicated with the evaporator-condenser mounting chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The heat pump drying or washing-drying machine according to  claim 2 , wherein the base is further provided with a compressor mounting area, and the compressor is disposed in the compressor mounting area. 
     
     
         8 . The heat pump drying or washing-drying machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the condensed water draining duct is a rubber duct. 
     
     
         9 . The heat pump drying or washing-drying machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower end of the condensed water draining duct is connected to a rear end surface of the drum.
