Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3666966A1] A clothes dryer includes a drum (2, 200) for accommodating clothes and a tub (3, 300) surrounding the drum. A drum wall (21) has first holes (22) in dense distribution enabling the drum to be in spatial communication with the tub. A tub wall has a plurality of hollow-through second holes (81, 811), and a water outlet region (810, 8200) defined by the second holes extends horizontally. A water distributor (83, 830) is provided on the tub wall at an outer side that is away from the drum. In comparison with a mode that a water supply pipe directly extends into a narrow space between the tub and the drum, water flows inwards directly from the tub wall, which not only makes installation simpler, but also makes the water flow along an inner surface of the tub wall instead of dropping from the middle of a limited gap, significantly reducing the possibility of water entering the drum.
