Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of clothes drying, and specifically provides a clothes drying device. Background Art

[0002] A clothes dryer is a device that can dry clothes. Existing clothes dryers include drum dryers, cabinet dryers, drawer dryers, etc. When in use, the user puts the clothes to be dried into the clothes dryer, and then starts the drying program of the clothes dryer. The clothes dryer can dry the clothes by itself.

[0003] In the prior art, taking a drum dryer as an example, since lint will appear in the process of drying clothes, it is necessary to filter and collect the lint. One traditional way to collect lint is to set a lint filter in the air duct of the drum dryer, and filter and collect the lint through the lint filter. However, it is very inconvenient to clean the lint filter in the air duct, and the filament filter has a limited filtering area, and the filtering effect is not good. In addition, the lint filter will be covered with lint in a very short time, and the user has to clean the lint filter frequently, which greatly reduces the user experience. Another traditional way to collect lint is to form a lint collection cavity on the door glass of the drum dryer. However, this way of collecting lint will cause the door glass to be heavier, which is not convenient for users to open and close the door, and users cannot observe the drying condition of clothes through the door glass, which is not conducive to user use.

[0004] Therefore, the art needs a new clothes drying device to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0009] In the preferred technical solution of the above clothes drying device, the second supporting member includes an annular supporting frame connected to the first supporting member and a mounting frame arranged on the annular supporting frame, and the lint cleaning member and the lint collecting member are both arranged on the mounting frame.

[0010] In the preferred technical solution of the above clothes drying device, the lint cleaning component includes a connected connecting rod and a scraper, the connecting rod is clamped on the mounting frame, and the scraper is arranged close to or in contact with the annular filtering component.

[0011] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothes drying device, the lint collecting component includes a lint collecting box, which is detachably connected to the mounting frame, at least a portion of the lint collecting box is arranged in the annular cavity, and the lint collecting port of the lint collecting box is located below the lint cleaning component.

[0012] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothes drying device, a holding structure is formed on the rear outer wall of the lint collecting box.

[0013] In a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothes drying device, the lint collecting opening is gradually opened in a direction close to the lint cleaning component.

[0014] In a preferred technical solution of the above clothes drying device, the lint collecting member is located on the left or right part of the front supporting mechanism.

[0015] Those skilled in the art can understand that, in the preferred technical scheme of the present invention, a filtering device is provided on the front-opening clothes drying equipment, and the filtering device includes an annular filter component, a lint cleaning component and a lint collecting component, the annular filter component is provided between the front supporting mechanism and the clothes drying drum, the lint cleaning component and the lint collecting component are both provided on the front supporting mechanism, the annular filter component is provided to be able to rotate with the clothes drying drum, during the rotation of the annular filter component, the lint cleaning component can clean the lint on the annular filter component and the lint collecting component can collect the cleaned lint, through such a setting, the annular filter component can fully filter the lint in the clothes drying drum, and the area of ​​the annular filter component is large enough to improve the filtering effect, and the lint attached to the annular filter component is cleaned into the lint collecting component under the action of the lint cleaning component, completing the lint collection operation, the user does not need to frequently clean the annular filter component, which greatly improves the user experience, and the lint cleaning component and the lint collecting component are both provided on the front supporting mechanism, do not occupy other space, and do not affect the normal use of the user.

[0016] Furthermore, the annular filter component includes an annular filter bracket and an annular filter net arranged on the annular filter bracket, the annular filter bracket is fixedly connected to the clothes dryer, and the annular filter bracket can rotate relative to the front support mechanism under the drive of the clothes dryer. Through such a configuration, it can be ensured that when the annular filter bracket is driven by the clothes dryer to rotate, the annular filter net can also rotate, so that the annular filter net can fully filter the lint, and the lint cleaning component can clean the lint on the annular filter. The user does not need to clean the annular filter frequently, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0017] Furthermore, the annular filter includes multiple arc-shaped filter nets, and the arc-shaped filter nets are placed on the annular filter bracket. Through such a configuration, the annular filter net is easy to disassemble, and the arc-shaped filter net can be removed individually. On the one hand, it is convenient for the individual cleaning of the arc-shaped filter net. On the other hand, when the arc-shaped filter net is damaged, only the damaged arc-shaped filter net needs to be replaced individually, and there is no need to replace the annular filter net as a whole, which simplifies the operation of maintenance personnel, reduces the user's maintenance cost, and further improves the user experience.

[0018] Furthermore, the interior of the dryer can be connected to the air duct through the annular cavity. When the air flows, the air in the dryer flows to the air duct along with the lint. When the air passes through the annular cavity, the annular filter component can filter the lint in the air. In this way, the lint can be fully filtered to ensure that it does not enter the air duct, avoiding the user's need to clean the air duct frequently, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0019] Furthermore, the wire chip cleaning component and the wire chip collecting component are both arranged on the mounting frame, that is, the mounting frame provides installation support for the wire chip cleaning component and the wire chip collecting component at the same time, ensuring the installation of the wire chip cleaning component and the wire chip collecting component, simplifying the structural design of the product, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the product.

[0020] Furthermore, by placing the connecting rod card on the mounting frame, the scraper can be replaced in time when the scraper is damaged or the blade sharpness of the scraper is poor, and it is convenient for the user to perform the replacement operation, further improving the user experience.

[0021] Furthermore, the lint collection box is detachably connected to the mounting frame, so that when the lint collection box is full of lint, the user can quickly remove the lint collection box, thereby cleaning the lint collection box in time, further improving the user experience.

[0022] Furthermore, a holding structure is formed on the rear outer wall of the lint collection box. Through such an arrangement, the user cannot see the holding structure from the front of the drying device, thereby improving the aesthetics of the drying device. The holding structure allows the user to easily remove the lint collection box by extending his hand to the rear side of the lint collection box through the clothing insertion port, thereby making it easier to disassemble the lint collection box and further improving the user experience.

[0023] Furthermore, the wire scrap collection port is gradually opened in the direction close to the wire scrap cleaning component. Through such a configuration, the wire scraps on the annular filter component can be more easily entered into the wire scrap collection box when they are cleaned by the wire scrap cleaning component, which facilitates the collection of the wire scraps, improves the wire scrap collection effect, and further enhances the user experience.

[0024] Furthermore, the lint collecting component is located on the left or right part of the front supporting mechanism. Through such an arrangement, the vertical space of the drying equipment can be fully utilized. Since the lint cleaned by the lint cleaning component will move from top to bottom under the action of gravity, arranging the lint collecting component on the left or right part of the front supporting mechanism can provide spatial support for designing the lint collecting component into a tall and thin structure (that is, the lint collecting component is narrow in width but very high in height), thereby not occupying the clothing delivery space, ensuring the smooth delivery of clothes, and ensuring the lint collection effect.

Among them, when the drum dryer adopts a single-drum structure, the dryer drum 4 is this single drum, and the dryer drum 4 can be directly connected to the annular filter member 3. When the drum dryer adopts a double-drum structure, the dryer drum 4 is the inner drum in the double drum, and the inner drum is arranged in the outer drum, and the inner drum is connected to the drive motor and rotates relative to the outer drum under the driving action of the drive motor. The inner drum can be directly connected to the annular filter member 3, and the inner drum drives the annular filter member 3 to rotate when rotating. In the present invention, the annular filter member 3 can adopt the structure of an annular filter net, or a structure in which an annular filter bracket and an annular filter net are combined. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure of the annular filter member 3 in practical applications. Such adjustment and change of the specific structure of the annular filter member 3 does not constitute a limitation to the present invention, and should be limited within the scope of protection of the present invention. The wire scrap cleaning member can adopt the structure of a scraper, or the structure of a brush. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure of the wire scrap cleaning member in practical applications. Such adjustment and change of the specific structure of the wire scrap cleaning member does not constitute a limitation to the present invention, and should be limited within the scope of protection of the present invention. The wire scrap collection component can adopt the structure of a wire scrap collection box or the structure of a wire scrap collection groove. Technical personnel in this field can flexibly set the specific structure of the wire scrap collection component in actual applications. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structure of the wire scrap collection component do not constitute limitations to the present invention and should be limited within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] Preferably, if Figures 6 to 10As shown, the annular filter member 3 includes an annular filter bracket 31 and an annular filter net 32 ​​arranged on the annular filter bracket 31, the annular filter bracket 31 is fixedly connected to the clothes drying drum 4, and the annular filter bracket 31 can rotate relative to the front support mechanism 2 under the drive of the clothes drying drum 4. Among them, the annular filter bracket 31 can be connected to the clothes drying drum 4 by screw connection, clamping and / or bonding, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set the connection mode between the annular filter bracket 31 and the clothes drying drum 4 in practical applications. The annular filter bracket 31 can be slidably connected to the front support mechanism 2, so that the annular filter bracket 31 can rotate relative to the front support mechanism 2 under the drive of the clothes drying drum 4. Of course, the annular filter bracket 31 can also adopt a non-contact method with the front support mechanism 2, so that the annular filter bracket 31 can rotate relative to the front support mechanism 2 under the drive of the clothes drying drum 4. The annular filter net 32 ​​can be integrally arranged with the annular filter bracket 31 or detachably connected. Of course, the annular filter net 32 ​​is preferably detachably connected to the annular filter bracket 31, so that the user can remove the annular filter net 32 ​​from the annular filter bracket 31. In a more preferred embodiment, Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the annular filter screen 32 includes a plurality of arc-shaped filter screens 321, and the arc-shaped filter screens 321 are clamped on the annular filter support 31. A plurality of arc-shaped filter screens 321 together constitute the annular filter screen 32, and the number of arc-shaped filter screens 321 can be 2, 3, 4 or more. In addition, the arc lengths of all arc-shaped filter screens 321 can be set to be all equal, or all unequal, or one part is equal and the other part is unequal. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the number and size of the arc-shaped filter screens 321 in practical applications. Such adjustment and change of the number and size of the arc-shaped filter screens 321 does not constitute a limitation of the present invention, and should be limited within the scope of protection of the present invention. The clamping mode of the arc-shaped filter screen 321 and the annular filter support 31 can be connected by a buckle, or by a claw, or by a clamping rib. In the structure shown in the figure, an annular groove is formed on the annular filter support 31, and a plurality of clamping ribs are set on the edge of the annular groove, and the plurality of clamping ribs clamp the arc-shaped filter screen 321 in the annular groove. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the locking method between the arc filter net 321 and the annular filter bracket 31 in actual applications. Such adjustment and change to the locking method between the arc filter net 321 and the annular filter bracket 31 does not constitute a limitation of the present invention and should be limited within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0044] Preferably, if Figures 4 to 7As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the front support mechanism 2 includes a first support member 21 and a second support member 22 connected to each other. At least one of the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 is arranged on the front panel 1. The lint cleaning member and the lint collecting member are both arranged on the second support member 22. The first support member 21 and the second support member 22 jointly form an annular cavity 23 that connects the air duct of the drying device with the interior of the drying drum 4. The annular filter member 3 is connected to the drying drum 4 and at least a part of the annular filter member 3 is arranged in the annular cavity 23. The first support member 21 may be arranged on the front panel 1 alone, the second support member 22 may be arranged on the front panel 1 alone, or the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 may be arranged on the front panel 1 at the same time. The first support member 21 and the second support member 22 may be connected by screw connection, clamping connection and / or bonding. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the connection method between the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 in actual applications. The first support member 21 and the second support member 22 may be structures such as support plates, support frames or support ribs. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the specific structures of the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 in practical applications. Such adjustment and change of the specific structures of the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 do not constitute a limitation to the present invention and should be limited within the protection scope of the present invention. The following takes the example of the first support member 21 being separately set on the front panel 1 to further illustrate the technical solution of the present invention.

[0045] In the above, the annular filter member 3 can be completely arranged in the annular cavity 23, or partially arranged in the annular cavity 23. When the drum dryer dries the clothes, the fan in the air duct runs, and the air in the dryer drum 4 is led to the air duct. The air will flow through the annular cavity 23. At this time, the wire scraps in the air will be filtered by the annular filter member 3, so as to achieve the purpose of removing the wire scraps in the air. The wire scrap cleaning member and the wire scrap collecting member can be integrally arranged with the second support member 22, or detachably connected to the second support member 22. Of course, the wire scrap cleaning member and the wire scrap collecting member are preferably detachably connected to the second support member 22, so as to facilitate the inspection, replacement and maintenance of the wire scrap cleaning member and the cleaning, replacement and maintenance of the wire scrap collecting member. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific connection method between the wire scrap cleaning member and the wire scrap collecting member and the second support member 22 in practical applications.

[0046] Preferably, if Figures 8 to 10As shown, the second support member 22 includes an annular support frame 221 connected to the first support member 21 and a mounting frame 222 arranged on the annular support frame 221, and the wire scrap cleaning member and the wire scrap collecting member are both arranged on the mounting frame 222. The annular support frame 221 can be connected to the first support member 21 by screwing, clamping and / or bonding, and the mounting frame 222 can be connected to the annular support frame 221 by screwing, clamping and / or bonding. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific connection mode between the annular support frame 221 and the first support member 21 and the specific connection mode between the mounting frame 222 and the annular support frame 221 in practical applications. Among them, the mounting frame 222 can be set to a box-shaped structure or a groove-shaped structure, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure and shape of the mounting frame 222 in practical applications. In addition, the wire scrap cleaning member and the wire scrap collecting member can be integrally provided with the mounting frame 222, or can be detachably connected to the mounting frame 222. Of course, the wire scrap cleaning member and the wire scrap collecting member are preferably detachably connected to the mounting frame 222, so as to facilitate the inspection, replacement and maintenance of the wire scrap cleaning member and the cleaning, replacement and maintenance of the wire scrap collecting member. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific connection mode between the wire scrap cleaning member and the wire scrap collecting member and the mounting frame 222 in actual applications.

[0047] In one possible scenario, Fig.10 As shown, the mounting frame 222 includes a side plate 2221, a front plate 2222 and a bottom plate 2223. The side edge of the side plate 2221 is connected to the side edge of the front plate 2222. The bottom edge of the side plate 2221 and the bottom edge of the front plate 2222 are respectively connected to the two side edges of the front plate 2222. The side plate 2221, the front plate 2222 and the bottom plate 2223 form a three-sided enclosed space, which is used to accommodate and clamp the wire scrap cleaning component. The front plate 2222 is provided with a long strip depression, and the annular support frame 221 is provided with a long strip protrusion that matches the long strip depression. When the assembly is completed, the long strip protrusion matches the long strip depression to position the front plate 2222, and then position the mounting frame 222.

[0048] Preferably, if Figures 8 to 10As shown, the wire scrap cleaning component includes a connected connecting rod 51 and a scraper 52, the connecting rod 51 is clamped on the mounting frame 222, and the scraper 52 is arranged close to or in contact with the annular filter component 3. The connecting rod 51 and the scraper 52 can be arranged in an integrated manner, or in a detachable connection manner (such as clamping, screwing and / or bonding), the connecting rod 51 can be connected to the mounting frame 222 by a buckle, can also be connected to the mounting frame 222 by a hook, and can be connected to the mounting frame 222 by a claw. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific clamping method of the connecting rod 51 and the mounting frame 222 in practical applications. In a possible situation, still taking the structure of the aforementioned mounting frame 222 including the side plate 2221, the front plate 2222 and the bottom plate 2223 as an example, the side plate 2221 is extended with two mounting strips 53 screwed to the annular support frame 221, and the mounting strip 53 is formed with a bayonet 54, and the two ends of the connecting rod 51 are respectively clamped on the bayonet 54 of the two mounting strips 53. The scraper 52 can be arranged in close contact with the annular filter component 3, or can be arranged close to the annular filter component 3 (that is, arranged with a gap between the scraper 52 and the annular filter component 3). It should be noted that when the scraper 52 is arranged with a gap between the annular filter component 3, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the scraper 52 and the annular filter component 3 enables the scraper 52 to scrape off the wire scraps on the annular filter component 3. When the annular filter component 3 includes an annular filter bracket 31 and an annular filter net 32 ​​arranged on the annular filter bracket 31, the scraper 52 is arranged close to or in contact with the annular filter net 32.

[0049] Preferably, if Figure 2As shown, the thread dust collection component includes a thread dust collection box 6, which is detachably connected to the mounting frame 222. At least a portion of the thread dust collection box 6 is disposed in the annular cavity 23, and the thread dust collection port of the thread dust collection box 6 is located below the thread dust cleaning component. The thread dust collection box 6 and the mounting frame 222 can be connected by screw connection, clamping connection and / or bonding, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific connection method between the thread dust collection box 6 and the mounting frame 222 in practical applications. The thread dust collection box 6 can be completely disposed in the annular cavity 23, or partially disposed in the annular cavity 23. In practical applications, the thread dust collection box 6 is preferably completely disposed in the annular cavity 23. Through such a setting, the thread dust collection box 6 can be hidden in the front support mechanism 2, and the user cannot observe the thread dust collection box 6 from the outside of the clothing delivery port, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the drum dryer. In addition, it also prevents the user from scratching the thread dust collection box 6 when putting in clothes, thereby avoiding damage to the clothes. The wire scrap collection port of the wire scrap collection box 6 is located below the wire scrap cleaning component. Through such a configuration, after the wire scrap cleaning component scrapes the wire scraps on the annular filter component 3, they can directly fall into the wire scrap collection box 6. For example, taking the structure in which the aforementioned wire scrap cleaning component includes a connecting rod 51 and a scraper 52 and the annular filter component 3 includes an annular filter bracket 31 and an annular filter screen 32 as an example, in the process of the dryer drum 4 driving the annular filter bracket 31 to rotate, the annular filter screen 32 also rotates, and the scraper 52 scrapes the wire scraps on the annular filter screen 32. Under the action of its own gravity, the wire scraps enter the wire scrap collection box 6 through the wire scrap collection port.

[0050] Preferably, if Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a holding structure 61 is formed on the rear outer wall of the lint collection box 6. The purpose of setting the holding structure 61 is that the user can more smoothly remove the lint collection box 6 by operating the holding structure 61. The holding structure 61 can be a depression formed on the rear outer wall of the lint collection box 6. Of course, the holding structure 61 can also be a handle formed on the rear outer wall of the lint collection box 6. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structural form of the holding structure 61 in practical applications. In addition, the advantage of setting the holding structure 61 on the rear outer wall of the lint collection box 6 is that the user cannot observe the holding structure 61 from the outside of the clothing delivery port. In practical applications, the user can extend his hand to the rear side of the lint collection box 6, and then operate the holding structure 61 to remove the lint collection box 6 from the mounting frame 222, which not only improves the aesthetics but also facilitates the user's operation.

[0051] Preferably, if Figures 8 to 10As shown, the wire scrap collection port is gradually opened in the direction close to the wire scrap cleaning member. With such a setting, the wire scraps cleaned by the wire scrap cleaning member can more easily enter the wire scrap collection box 6. When the wire scrap cleaning member adopts the combined structure of the aforementioned connecting rod 51 and the scraper 52, the wire scrap collection port is gradually opened in the direction close to the scraper 52, that is, the wire scrap collection port is gradually contracted in the moving and collecting direction of the wire scraps. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the opening area and opening angle of the wire scrap collection port in actual applications, as long as the wire scraps cleaned by the scraper 52 can enter the wire scrap collection box 6.

[0052] Preferably, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 , the lint collecting component is located at the left or right part of the front support mechanism 2. In practical applications, the front side of the front support mechanism 2 is close to the door hinge and the door lock on the front panel 1. Since the door lock is larger in size and the door hinge is smaller in size, the lint collecting component can be arranged on the side close to the door hinge. For example, when the door lock is on the left side of the clothing inlet of the front panel 1 and the door hinge is on the right side, it is preferred to arrange the lint collecting component on the right side of the front support mechanism 2. When the door lock is on the right side of the clothing inlet of the front panel 1 and the door hinge is on the left side, it is preferred to arrange the lint collecting component on the left side of the front support mechanism 2. With such an arrangement, it is convenient to arrange the installation space of the door lock on the front panel 1, avoid interference with the lint collecting component, and avoid affecting the overall layout of the drum dryer. In addition, since the lint will move from top to bottom under the action of its own gravity after being scraped off by the lint cleaning member, arranging the lint collecting member on the left or right part of the front support mechanism 2 can make full use of the vertical space of the drum dryer, that is, the width of the lint collecting member can be set to be narrower and the height can be set to be higher on the basis of not occupying the space of the clothing inlet as much as possible, forming a "thin and tall" structure, so as to use the height space of the lint collecting member to accommodate more lint. Compared with arranging the lint collecting member on the upper part of the front support mechanism 2 and only being set to a "flat and long" structure, arranging the lint collecting member on the left or right part of the front support mechanism 2 can greatly improve the lint collection effect. In addition, in the present invention, the air duct can be located at the bottom of the front support mechanism 2. For example, in the front support mechanism 2 using the combined structure of the first support member 21 and the second support member 22, the air duct can be connected to the bottom of the annular cavity 23, and at the same time, a through hole structure is provided on the second support member 22 to connect the annular cavity 23 with the interior of the dryer drum 4. Of course, the air duct can also be located at other positions of the front support mechanism 2, such as the left or right part of the front support mechanism 2. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific setting position of the air duct in actual applications. Such adjustment and change of the specific setting position of the air duct does not constitute a limitation of the present invention and should be limited within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
