Definitions
- the present invention relates to drum type washing machines, and more particularly, to a drum type washing machine with a laundry drying function, in which a new flow passage structure is employed for improving a drying efficiency, and a drying performance.
- the drum type washing machine is an apparatus for washing laundry by rotating a drum with a driving force of a motor in a state detergent, washing water, and the laundry are introduced into the drum.
- the drum type washing machine has advantages in that damage to the laundry is small, entangling of the laundry is small, and a washing effect of pounding and rubbing can be made.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a side section of a related art drum type washing machine, schematically.
- the related art drum type washing machine is provided with a cabinet 1 having a front opening for introduction of laundry, a door 2 mounted at the opening of the cabinet 1 for opening/closing the opening, a metal tub 3 in the cabinet 1 for holding washing water, a drum 4 rotatably mounted in the tub 3 , and a motor unit 5 mounted on the tub 3 , for providing driving force to the drum 4 .
- the door 2 has a glass 2 a projected toward an opening of the tub 3 .
- an indirect coupling type is used mostly, in which the driving force is transmitted from a motor 5 a to a washing shaft 5 c via a belt 5 b for rotating the drum 4 .
- the drying duct 7 has a heater 7 b and a fan 7 a for producing hot air and forced blowing of the hot air.
- One end of the drying duct 7 is connected to a gasket 8 connected between a circumference of the front opening of the tub 3 , and a circumference of the door at the front of the cabinet 1 .
- the gasket 8 is mounted along a front inside circumference of the tub 3 , and has a bellows shape for absorbing vibration of the tub 3 . According to this, leakage of hot air through a connection of the drying duct 7 and the tub 3 is prevented.
- the tub 3 has a condensing duct 9 connected to the drying duct 7 .
- the condensing duct 9 has one end connected to an outside of the tub 3 , and the other end connected to the drying duct 7 .
- the condensing duct 9 has a water supply device 9 a mounted thereon for supplying cooling water to condense, and remove moisture from air.
- the drum type washing machine performs a washing cycle, a rinsing cycle, a spinning cycle, and a drying cycle.
- the hot air is guided by the drying duct 7 , hits a sloped portion of the door glass 2 a , and, therefrom, is introduced into an inside of the drum 4 .
- the hot air heats laundry and vaporizes moisture from the laundry.
- the drum 4 rotates slowly, to turn the laundry upside down, so that the laundry is exposed to the hot air uniformly, to help vaporization of the moisture.
- the moisture vaporized thus is discharged through the condensing duct 9 carried by the air.
- the moisture is removed from the air.
- the air having the moisture removed therefrom thus is introduced into the drying duct 7 again, and turned into hot air by the heater 7 b and the fan 7 a , and introduced into the drum 4 again, for performing drying of the laundry.
- the laundry is dried.
- the related art drum type washing machine has problems in many aspects, such as the related art drum type washing machine has limitations in drying efficiency and drying performance because the related art drum type washing machine has a circulating structure in which the hot air is supplied to the inside of the drum through the connection portion of the drying duct at one side of an upper portion of the gasket, and discharged through a side of a front of the tub again.
- the related art flow passage structure has disadvantages of dropping the drying efficiency, and the drying performance.
- the gasket is liable to wear and tear because the gasket, which moves according to vibration of the tub, is connected to the drying duct which is fixedly secured, to require an expensive gasket 8 which has a relatively small thermal deformation, to increase a production cost.
- the vertical downward discharge of the hot air from the drying gasket 7 through the gasket causes the problem that the hot air fails the penetration deep into the inside of the drum, because the vertical downward direction is away from a direction of the shaft of the drum, and the hot air hits the door glass to have a resistance from the door glass.
- a fan with a large capacity is required.
- connection of the drying duct 7 to an outside circumference of upper side of the gasket 8 makes the gasket 8 asymmetric between an upper side and a lower side of the gasket 8 , causes the gasket to fail in balanced holding of a front of the tub 3 .
- the present invention is directed to a drum type washing machine with a laundry drying function that substantially obviates one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a drum type washing machine with a laundry drying function, which has a new improved flow passage structure for improving a drying efficiency and a drying performance.

- the drum type washing machine of the present invention having the drying system with a new flow passage structure has the following advantages.
- the new drying system permits deep penetration of the air into an inside of the drum to dry all the laundry uniformly, to improve a drying efficiency, and a drying performance.
- the hot air, produced at the drying duct is introduced into an upper portion of the drum, flows in a diagonal direction, and is discharged through a lower portion of a rear of the drum. According to this, the hot air penetrates deep into an inside of the drum, to improve a drying efficiency, and a drying performance.
- connection of the drying duct to the tub prevents the gasket from wear and tear.
- the symmetric structure of the gasket in an upper side and a lower side enabled by the connection of the drying duct to the tub permits the gasket to absorb vibration of the tub, uniformly.
- the securing of the drying duct and the condensing duct to the tub permits to dispense with a separate gasket at the connection portion like the related art, and shortens an air flow passage of the ducts.
- the drying duct serves as a counterweight, to improve a balance of the tub.
- the hot air pass through holes are effectively arranged in the front of the drum taking strength of the drum, and a flow rate of the hot air introduced into the drum from the drying duct into account. Therefore, the flow rate of the hot air introduced into the drum can be maximized while the strength of the drum is maintained.
