LAUNDRY TREATMENT APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

The present invention relates to a laundry treatment apparatus 1, including: a storage chamber 3, used for storing laundry; an air circulation channel 20, connected to the storage chamber 3 both at a first end and a second end; a blower 4, used for blowing air to pass through the air circulation channel 20 and the storage chamber 3; and a heat pump system 10, having a compressor 12, a primary evaporator 14 disposed within the air circulation channel 20, and a condenser 18 disposed within the air circulation channel 20 and located below the primary evaporator 14, where the primary evaporator 14 is used for absorbing heat of flowing air in the air circulation channel 20, characterized in that the laundry treatment apparatus 1 further includes a water storage chamber 5, used for storing waste hot water that is discharged by the laundry treatment apparatus 1 after a predetermined laundry treatment procedure is finished; and the heat pump system 10 further has a secondary evaporator 16, for absorbing heat of the waste hot water in the water storage chamber 5. In this way, the waste hot water may be stored in the water storage chamber 5, and is used as a source of heat to provide heat for the secondary evaporator 14 in an initial stage in which the heat pump system 10 starts, recycled air in the air circulation channel 20 is heated directly, and temperature of the recycled air is increased rap- idly, so that the heat pump system 10 enters a stable running stage rapidly. The present invention further relates to a control method for the laundry treatment apparatus 1. La présente invention concerne un appareil de traitement de linge (1), comprenant : une chambre de stockage (3) utilisée pour stocker le linge ; un canal de circulation d'air (20) relié à la chambre de stockage (3) à la fois au niveau d'une première extrémité et d'une seconde extrémité ; une soufflante (4) utilisée pour souffler de l'air à faire passer à travers le canal de circulation d'air (20) et la chambre de stockage (3) ; et un système de pompe à chaleur (10) comprenant un compresseur (12), un évaporateur principal (14) disposé dans le canal de circulation d'air (20), et un condenseur (18) disposé dans le canal de circulation d'air (20) et situé au-dessous de l'évaporateur principal (14), l'évaporateur principal (14) étant utilisé pour absorber la chaleur de l'air en circulation dans le canal de circulation d'air (20), caractérisé par le fait que l'appareil de traitement de linge (1) comprend en
