Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a clothes dryer including: a machine body; a drum body, disposed in the machine body and defining a containing chamber therein; an air passage disposed in the machine body and having an air outlet in communication with the containing chamber; and a heat pump system including: a compressor, disposed in the machine body, located outside of the air passage; a first heat exchanger, disposed in the air passage and communicating with a compressor inlet; and a second heat exchanger, disposed in the air passage and communicating with a compressor outlet and the first heat exchanger, in which hot air generated by the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger is transported to the containing chamber through the air outlet of the air passage, and the air passage is provided with at least one through hole in communication with a mounting chamber of the compressor.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A clothes dryer, comprising:
 a machine body;   a drum body, disposed in the machine body and defining a containing chamber therein;   an air passage disposed in the machine body and having an air outlet in communication with the containing chamber; and   a heat pump system, comprising:
 a compressor, disposed in the machine body, located outside of the air passage, and having a compressor inlet and a compressor outlet; 
 a first heat exchanger, disposed in the air passage and communicating with the compressor inlet; and 
 a second heat exchanger, disposed in the air passage and communicating with the compressor outlet and the first heat exchanger, 
   wherein hot air generated by the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger is transported to the containing chamber through the air outlet of the air passage, and the air passage is provided with at least one through hole in communication with a mounting chamber of the compressor of the least one through hole.   
     
     
         2 . The clothes dryer according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a motor, disposed in the machine body, located outside of the air passage, and having a motor shaft; and   an impeller, disposed on the motor shaft, and located between the air outlet and the containing chamber to guide an air flow in the air passage into the containing chamber.   
     
     
         3 . The clothes dryer according to  claim 2 , wherein one through hole is provided in a position of the air passage close to the compressor and the motor. 
     
     
         4 . The clothes dryer according to  claim 3 , wherein the through hole has an axis located between the compressor and the motor. 
     
     
         5 . The clothes dryer according to  claim 2 , wherein one through hole is provided between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and located close to the compressor. 
     
     
         6 . The clothes dryer according to  claim 5 , wherein the through hole is right opposite the compressor. 
     
     
         7 . The clothes dryer according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one through hole comprises a first through hole and a second through hole, the first through hole is provided in a position of the air passage close to the compressor and the motor, and the second through hole is located between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. 
     
     
         8 . The clothes dryer according to  claim 7 , wherein the first through hole has an axis located between the compressor and the motor. 
     
     
         9 . The clothes dryer according to  claim 7 , wherein the second through hole is right opposite the compressor.
