Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of drying equipment, and in particular to a clothes dryer. Background Art

[0002] In the rainy season, winter and the return of the south wind, clothes are often difficult to dry due to the humid air and low temperature. In the north and west of my country, there is often dust and sand that can easily stain the clothes that are hung out to dry. For many people who do not have balconies or live in dormitories, there are few opportunities to dry clothes outdoors and they can only dry them in the shade indoors. In these cases, clothes that are dried in the shade are not thoroughly rinsed, which can easily breed bacteria and produce odors, affecting the comfort of wearing and personal image. In addition, the drying time is very long and requires waiting. Socks, underwear and underwear need to be washed separately due to their privacy, hygiene, and fragility. They are usually not suitable for washing machines. They have higher hygiene requirements and also place higher requirements on the drying process.

[0003] Although the dedicated dryers currently on the market can dry underwear, the drying process requires the clothes to be stacked regularly, which is a very cumbersome process. Otherwise, the air outlet will be blocked, affecting the drying efficiency. They are useless when there is no electricity, and cannot be used when there is no electricity, so as to achieve multiple uses. Moreover, they are usually heavy and can only be used in a certain area. Existing dryers cannot be used specifically for special clothes such as socks, underwear, and the clothes will be deformed after drying, which is prone to cross-infection of bacteria.

[0004] In addition, for hand washing, clothes need to be wrung out after washing, which is labor-intensive. The price of integrated washing and drying machines or heat pump washing machines is high, which is difficult for some consumers to accept. In addition, clothes are easily deformed and wrinkled when dried in a closed machine cavity.

[0050] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0051] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0052] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0053] In order to solve the problem of poor performance of clothes dryers in the prior art, the present application provides a clothes dryer.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the clothes dryer in the present application includes a housing 10 and an exhaust assembly 20 and a heating assembly 30 respectively connected to the housing 10. The exhaust assembly 20 and the heating assembly 30 are arranged at intervals to form a drying space between the exhaust assembly 20 and the heating assembly 30. When the clothes dryer in the present application is used, since the drying space is formed between the exhaust assembly 20 and the heating assembly 30, the clothes to be dried can be hung in the drying space for drying. Therefore, in the present application, since the clothes to be dried are between the heating assembly 30 and the exhaust assembly 20, the exhaust assembly 20 will not be blocked. In addition, by providing the exhaust assembly 20, the air circulation in the drying space can be accelerated, so that the clothes can be dried more quickly. At the same time, since the exhaust assembly 20 strengthens the air flow in the drying space, the bacterial growth of the clothes located in the drying space can be reduced. Therefore, the clothes dryer in the present application effectively solves the problem of poor performance of the clothes dryer in the prior art.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the heating component 30 is located at the bottom of the housing 10, and the exhaust component 20 is located at the top of the housing 10. When the clothes dryer is used to dry clothes, after the heating component 30 is turned on, the air near the heating component 30 is heated and has a low density, so an upward airflow is generated. Therefore, the heating component 30 is arranged at the bottom of the housing 10 to ensure that the upward airflow can effectively pass through the clothes to be dried to dry the clothes. The exhaust component 20 is arranged at the top of the housing 10, which can not only accelerate the gas flow speed in the drying space, but also generate suction for the air heated by the heating component 30. By attracting the air inside the dryer to be discharged to the outside, the property of the hot air with a low density and rising can be used to accelerate the air flow, avoid inhaling the colder air outside and repelling the internal hot air to do work, improve the energy utilization rate and drying efficiency of the whole machine, and thus limit the flow path of the heated air.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the cover body 10 includes a main body 11 and a curtain cover 12. At least a part of the exhaust assembly 20 is arranged inside the main body 11; the curtain cover 12 is connected to the main body 11 and can be suspended below the main body 11, the curtain cover 12 is used to cover the clothes, and the heating assembly 30 is located below the main body 11. Through such an arrangement, when the curtain cover 12 is suspended below the main body 11, that is, when the curtain cover 12 is lowered, the curtain cover 12 can cover the drying space, so that the drying space can be separated from the external environment by the curtain cover 12, and then the clothes to be dried can be prevented from being polluted by external dust and the like. In addition, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the exhaust assembly 20 is arranged inside the main body 11, so that the exhaust assembly 20 can be effectively separated from the clothes to be dried, so that the clothes to be dried can be effectively prevented from blocking the exhaust assembly 20.

[0057] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the power cord of the clothes dryer is electrically connected to the internal structure of the clothes dryer through the main body 11 .

[0058] It should be noted that, in the present application, the curtain cover 12 has a storage state and a working state. When the curtain cover 12 is in the working state, the curtain cover 12 is suspended below the main body 11, and at least a portion of the heating assembly 30 is located in the curtain cover 12; when the curtain cover 12 is in the storage state, the end of the curtain cover 12 away from the main body 11 is rolled up to the side where the main body 11 is located and is limited on the main body 11, so that the clothes in the curtain cover 12 are exposed to the outside for easy access. That is to say, in the present application, the curtain cover 12 can be stored. When drying clothes, the curtain cover 12 can be put down to cover the clothes. When the clothes do not need to be dried, the curtain cover 12 can be put away, thereby reducing the space occupied by the dryer and accelerating the natural drying of clothes.

[0059] Optionally, the main body 11 is in a cylindrical shape. Of course, in addition to setting the main body 11 in a cylindrical shape, the main body 11 can also be set in other shapes, such as a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0060] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the end of the cylindrical body 11 away from the curtain cover 12 has a first opening 111, and the cylindrical body 11 also has a second opening 112, the edge of the second opening 112 is connected to the curtain cover 12, and the opening area of ​​the second opening 112 is larger than the opening area of ​​the first opening 111. That is, in the present application, the body 11 is in a truncated cone shape, and by such a configuration, the air in the drying space can be discharged more conveniently and efficiently, and the air flow in the drying space can be accelerated.

[0061] like Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, the cover body 10 further includes a frame 13, which is disposed inside the main body 11, and the exhaust assembly 20 is connected to the frame 13. The frame 13 can not only prevent the cover body 10 from being squeezed and deformed, and increase the overall strength of the cover body, but also provide a mounting position for the exhaust assembly 20, thereby ensuring the stability of the exhaust assembly 20.

[0062] Optionally, the housing 10 further includes a connecting rod assembly 40, the heating assembly 30 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod assembly 40, and the top of the connecting rod assembly 40 is connected to the exhaust assembly 20 or the frame 13. Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the connecting rod assembly 40, the connecting rod assembly 40 can be arranged to be connected to the exhaust assembly 20 and the frame 13 assembly respectively. And by arranging the heating assembly 30 at the bottom of the connecting rod assembly 40, the heating assembly 30 can be fixed, thereby preventing the heating assembly 30 from damaging the clothes to be dried.

[0063] Optionally, the length of the connecting rod assembly 40 is adjustable. By setting the connecting rod assembly 40 as a structure with adjustable length, the drying space can be adapted to clothes of different sizes and the optimal heat radiation distance can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the connecting rod assembly 40. And by such a configuration, when it is not necessary to dry clothes, the space occupied by the dryer can be reduced by adjusting the length of the connecting rod, which is more conducive to the storage of the dryer.

[0064] Specifically, the connecting rod assembly 40 includes a plurality of connecting rods and a locking structure that are movably connected in sequence. There are one or more locking structures, and two adjacent connecting rods are limited by the locking structure. That is, in the present application, after the length of the connecting rod assembly 40 is adjusted by mutual adjustment of the plurality of connecting rods, the plurality of connecting rods can be locked by the locking structure, so that the connecting rod assembly 40 is maintained at the adjusted length.

[0065] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the plurality of connecting rods include a first connecting rod 42 and a second connecting rod 43, the first connecting rod 42 is provided with a first anti-rotation surface 421, the second connecting rod 43 is provided with a second anti-rotation surface 431 that cooperates with the first anti-rotation surface 421, the first anti-rotation surface 421 has a first positioning groove 422 extending along the axial direction of the first connecting rod 42, the second anti-rotation surface 431 has a second positioning groove 432 extending along the axial direction of the second connecting rod 43, the locking structure is located in the second positioning groove 432, and the locking structure can extend into the first positioning groove 422. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second connecting rod 43 is connected to the heating assembly 30, and the end of the second connecting rod 43 away from the heating assembly 30 can extend into the interior of the first connecting rod 42. Therefore, the end of the second connecting rod 43 extending into the first connecting rod 42 has a second anti-rotation surface 431. By providing the first anti-rotation surface 421 and the second anti-rotation surface 431, the first connecting rod 42 and the second connecting rod 43 can be effectively prevented from rotating relative to each other, thereby ensuring the stability of the heating assembly 30 when the clothes dryer is drying clothes. In addition, it should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first anti-rotation surface 421 provided on the first connecting rod 42 and the second anti-rotation surface 431 provided on the second connecting rod 43 are both tangent planes, and the first anti-rotation surface 421 is provided on the inner diameter surface of the first connecting rod 42. Of course, the first anti-rotation surface 421 and the second anti-rotation surface 431 can also be provided in other forms, as long as it is ensured that the first connecting rod 42 and the second connecting rod 43 do not rotate relative to each other.

[0066] Of course, in addition to providing the first and second anti-rotation surfaces 421 and 431 that cooperate with each other at the connection between the first and second connecting rods 42 and 43 to prevent the first and second connecting rods 42 and 43 from relative rotation, the cross-section of the connection between the first and second connecting rods 42 and 43 can also be set to a polygonal or non-circular shape.

[0067] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Fig.11As shown, the locking structure includes a top wedge 411, a reset member and a pressing member. The top wedge 411 is movably arranged inside the second positioning groove 432, and one end of the top wedge 411 can extend into the first positioning groove 422; the two ends of the reset member are respectively in contact with the second positioning groove 432 and the top wedge 411 to provide a reset force for the top wedge 411 to extend into the first positioning groove 422, and there are one or more reset members; the pressing member is arranged at one end of the top wedge 411 away from the reset member. When adjusting the length of the second connecting rod 43 extending into the first connecting rod 42, the user can press the pressing member to make the top wedge 411 return to the inside of the second positioning groove 432, and the reset member is squeezed at this time, and after the length adjustment is completed, the pressing member is released, and the top wedge 411 can extend out of the second positioning groove 432 under the action of the reset force of the reset member, and enter the first positioning groove 422, thereby preventing the axial displacement between the first connecting rod 42 and the second connecting rod 43.

[0068] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the bottom of the second positioning groove 432 has a platform surface, and the reset member abuts against the platform surface of the second positioning groove 432 .

[0069] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the outer diameter surface of the second connecting rod 43 and the inner diameter surface of the first connecting rod 42 are not completely circular. A plane of a certain length is cut on the outer diameter surface of the second connecting rod 43, namely the second anti-rotation surface 431, and a corresponding plane is cut on the inner diameter surface of the first connecting rod 42, namely the first anti-rotation surface 421. After the two cooperate, relative rotation can be prevented and only relative axial movement can be achieved. A square groove, namely the second positioning groove 432, is provided on the second connecting rod 43, and a top wedge 411 is placed in the groove, and the top wedge 411 can pass through the square groove. In the relative projection direction of the square groove, a square platform is provided on the inner diameter surface of the second connecting rod 43, and a plurality of U-shaped leaf springs, namely the reset member, are fixedly connected on it by gluing or the like. The U-shaped surface of one end of the U-shaped leaf spring is fixedly connected to the square platform of the inner diameter surface of the second connecting rod 43, and the other end is fixedly connected to the lower part of the top wedge 411. There is a trapezoidal wedge surface on the top wedge 411, and the first connecting rod 42 also has a corresponding trapezoidal wedge groove, namely the first positioning groove 422. The top wedge 411 is pushed up by the spring force of the U-shaped leaf spring and pressed against the trapezoidal wedge groove of the first connecting rod 42. Under the action of friction, the second connecting rod 43 and the first connecting rod 42 will stop axial relative movement, thereby fixing the relative position of the two. A pressing piece is fixedly connected to the top wedge 411. The pressing piece is a T-shaped structure. The small surface is fixedly connected to the top wedge 411, and the large surface is the surface that people touch with their hands, which plays a role in reducing contact stress and improving comfort.

[0070] In the present application, the clothes dryer also includes a hanging plate 50, which is connected to the connecting rod assembly 40 or the frame 13, and at least one clip 51 is provided on the hanging plate 50. It should be noted that in order to ensure the stability of the hanging plate 50, the hanging plate 50 can be connected to the connecting rod assembly 40 and the frame 13 respectively. Moreover, through such a hanging plate 50, the clothes to be dried can be directly hung on the hanging plate 50, and for small clothes, they can be clamped by the clip 51. Therefore, through such a setting, when using the clothes dryer in the present application to dry clothes, it is no longer necessary to fold and place the clothes to achieve the drying of the clothes. Moreover, through such a setting, it can also be ensured that the clothes dryer can still hang clothes to dry in the event of a power outage, so that the clothes dryer in the present application has the function of a one-machine multi-purpose.

[0071] Preferably, the clothes dryer further comprises at least one lower hanging wire 60, and the two ends of the lower hanging wire 60 are respectively connected to the hanging plate 50 and the frame 13. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the clothes dryer has a plurality of hanging wires. By such an arrangement, after the clothes are hung on the hanging plate 50, the stability of the force applied to the hanging plate 50 can be effectively ensured, thereby ensuring that the hanging plate 50 does not shake.

[0072] Optionally, the hanging plate 50 includes a plurality of concentric ring structures with different radii and connecting ribs. There are one or more connecting ribs, and each concentric ring structure is fixed together by the connecting ribs.

[0073] Specifically, the curtain cover 12 includes a curtain body 121, an upper support ring 122, and a lower support ring 123. The upper support ring 122 is supported on the top of the curtain body 121, and the upper support ring 122 is connected to the main body 11; the lower support ring 123 is supported on the bottom of the curtain body 121. In addition, the periphery of the upper support ring 122 has at least one limiting protrusion 1221. When the curtain cover 12 is in the storage state, the lower support ring 123 cooperates with the limiting protrusion 1221 to keep the curtain cover 12 in the storage state. In addition, the diameter of the upper support ring 122 is smaller than the diameter of the lower support ring 123. In the present application, the upper support ring 122 and the lower support ring 123 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the curtain body 121. By setting the upper support ring 122 and the lower support ring 123, the curtain body 121 can be shaped, thereby ensuring that the curtain body 121 will not contact the clothes during the drying process. Furthermore, by setting the diameter of the lower support ring 123 to be larger than that of the upper support ring 122, the curtain cover 12 can maintain a truncated cone shape with a narrow top and a wide bottom when in the working state, thereby preventing clothing from coming into contact with the curtain body 121. When the curtain cover 12 is in the storage state, the lower support ring 123 can be fitted on the upper support ring 122 through the cooperation between the lower support ring 123 and the limiting protrusion 1221, or the lower support ring 123 can drive the curtain body 121 to roll up from bottom to top onto the upper support ring 122.

[0074] Optionally, the lower support ring 123 is made of plastic and has good elasticity. It can be changed into an elliptical ring shape under artificial force, and can be restored to a circular ring shape when the force is removed. When the lower support ring 123 is changed into an elliptical ring shape, the length of the minor axis is still greater than the diameter of the upper support ring 122, so it can pass through the upper support ring 122. The upper support ring 122 has a number of cylindrical and other shaped protrusions on the outer diameter surface, that is, the limiting protrusions. The height of the protrusions has been specially considered to allow the lower support ring 123 to pass under the condition of being transformed into an elliptical ring. When the lower support ring 123 is restored to a circular shape, it can also prevent the lower support ring 123 from falling, thereby playing the role of fixing the lower support ring 123. If the lower support ring 123 is to be removed, the above-mentioned reverse process can be performed. The lower support ring 123 is connected to the curtain body 121. When the lower support ring 123 moves, it drives the curtain body 121 to fold and retract. When the curtain body 121 droops, the hanging plate 50 and the like are accommodated inside. The curtain body 121 can be made of a transparent material to prevent heat loss and control the direction of air flow. It is also aesthetically pleasing and convenient for observing the condition of the clothes inside.
