Washing machine with drying function

A washing machine with drying function, comprising:

• a cabinet;
• a tub that is circular inside the cabinet, and provided with a front opening to allow laundry to be introduced and removed and a back opening;
• a diaphragm at the front opening of the tub;
• a drum rotatable inside the tub;
• and
• a heated air supplying device configured to supply heated air to an inside of the tub,
• wherein the heated air supplying device includes:
• an inlet duct disposed at a first side of the tub along a length direction of the tub, and formed to guide air being discharged from a rear side of the tub,
• a heat exchange duct, including an evaporator and a condenser, and formed to guide air received from the inlet duct,
• a supply duct disposed at a second side of the tub that is opposite to the first side of the tub, along the length direction of the tub, and formed to guide air that passed through the heat exchange duct to be discharged to a front side of the tub,
• a fan at the front side of the tub, and
• a blow duct formed to contain the fan, and connect the supply duct with the diaphragm,
• wherein the supply duct is disposed between the heat exchange duct and the fan, and formed to connect the heat exchange duct and the fan,
• the inlet duct, the heat exchange duct, and the supply duct are configured so that the air guided by the inlet duct turns in a direction perpendicular to the inlet duct to enter the heat exchange duct, and the air passing through the heat exchange duct flows across the drum in a direction from the first side of the tub to the second side of the tub and then enters the supply duct to flow toward the front side of the tub, and
• the fan is configured to rotate about a rotation axis along a front and back direction of the washing machine.

• a cabinet;
• a tub disposed inside the cabinet, and provided with a front opening to allow laundry to be introduced and removed and a back opening;
• a drum rotatable inside the tub;
• and
• a heated air supplying device above the tub, and configured to supply heated air toward the front opening of the tub, wherein the heated air supplying device includes:
• an inlet duct disposed at a first side of the tub, and formed to guide air that is introduced from a rear side of the heated air supplying device,
• a heat exchange duct, including an evaporator and a condenser, and formed to guide air received from the inlet duct,

• a fan disposed at a front side of the tub, and configured to rotate about a rotation axis along a front and back direction of the washing machine to cause an airflow such that air being discharged from the supply duct is supplied toward the front opening of the tub,
• wherein the supply duct is disposed between the heat exchange duct and the fan, and formed to connect the heat exchange duct and the fan, and
• wherein the inlet duct, the heat exchange duct, and the supply duct are configured so that the air guided by the inlet duct turns in a direction perpendicular to the inlet duct to enter the heat exchange duct, and the air passing through the heat exchange duct turns in a direction perpendicular to the heat exchange duct to enter the supply duct.
