    摘要: The present invention relates to the technical field of laundry, particularly provides a laundry apparatus, and aims to solve the problem of an existing laundry apparatus being complex in terms of structure and not being conducive to a simplified design of a product structure when an outer tub is air-dried by external air. For this purpose, the laundry apparatus of the present invention comprises an outer tub, a window pad, a drainage pump, a valve assembly and a fan, wherein the drainage pump is in communication with the outer tub by means of a pump pipe; the valve assembly comprises a blocking mechanism and a valve shell having an air intake cavity and an air output cavity; the air intake cavity and the air output cavity are independently arranged; the air intake cavity is in communication with an air intake pipeline which provides communication between the outside and the pump pipe or the bottom of the outer tub; the air output cavity is in communication with an air output pipeline which provides communication between the outside and the window pad; the fan is arranged on the air intake pipeline and/or the air output pipeline; and the blocking mechanism is configured to simultaneously block the air intake pipeline and the air output pipeline. According to the present invention, the air drying effect between the outer tub and an inner tub can be improved, the overall structural arrangement of a product is facilitated, and the complexity of product design is reduced.
