[0022] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and the drawings. Here, the schematic embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but do not limit the present invention.

[0023] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the present invention provides an embodiment of a dryer, which includes a housing 10 and a drying component 20. An installation space is formed inside the housing 10, and an air outlet 11 communicating with the installation space is provided on the housing 10. The drying component 20 is installed in the installation space. The dryer further includes a turbulence blower assembly 30, which is installed outside the housing 10 and located at the air outlet 11. The turbulence blower assembly 30 is used to disperse the air flow at the air outlet 11.

[0024] Applying the technical solution of the present invention, by adding the turbulence blower assembly 30 at the air outlet 11, and using the turbulence blower assembly 30 to disperse the air flow at the air outlet 11, it helps to spread the heat, accelerate the air flow, and at the same time expand the blowing range, making the heat more dispersed, the clothes heated evenly, and shortening the overall drying time.

[0025] Compared with the prior art solution where the heat flow is mainly concentrated in the middle, through a certain degree of cold and heat alternation, appropriate temperature, and proper air flow, the drying speed of the clothes can be accelerated. At the same time, it also solves the problem of shortening the service life of the dryer caused by uneven heating inside the dryer.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the technical solution of this embodiment, the dryer further includes an air outlet cover 40, which is provided with ventilation openings, and the air outlet cover 40 is covered on the turbulence blower assembly 30. In this way, the air outlet cover 40 can cover the turbulence blower assembly 30, avoiding the fan blades from winding the clothes when the dryer is working.

[0027] As an optional implementation, as shown in Figure 6 the air outlet cover 40 includes a top surface, a side surface connected to the top surface, and a bottom surface with an opening surface. The air outlet cover 40 is buckled on the turbulence blower assembly 30 through the opening surface. The ventilation openings include a plurality of first ventilation openings 41 opened on the top surface, and the ventilation openings further include a plurality of second ventilation openings 42 opened on the side surface. Through the plurality of first ventilation openings 41 and the plurality of second ventilation openings 42, the top surface and the side surface of the air outlet cover 40 can both discharge air, which helps to expand the blowing range and make the heat more dispersed.

[0028] More preferably, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the total ventilation area of the plurality of first ventilation openings 41 is smaller than the total ventilation area of the plurality of second ventilation openings 42. This can reduce the heat flow directly above the original air outlet 11, making the hot air flow easier to spread from the side surface of the air outlet cover 40 to the surroundings.

[0029] As an optional implementation, a method where the distribution density of the plurality of first ventilation openings 41 is smaller than the distribution density of the plurality of second ventilation openings 42 can be adopted to make the hot air flow easier to blow out from the side surface of the air outlet cover 40, which helps to evenly disperse the hot air flow.

[0030] As other alternative embodiments, it is also possible to adopt the method in which the aperture of the first vent 41 is smaller than that of the second vent 42, so as to make the hot air flow more easily blown out through the side of the air outlet cover 40, which helps the uniform diffusion of the hot air flow.

[0031] More preferably, the air outlet cover 40 and the housing 10 are detachably connected by a first snap structure. In this way, the connection between the air outlet cover 40 and the housing 10 can be facilitated, and the complex process of screw installation is avoided.

[0032] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the first snap structure includes a first elastic snap 43 and a first slot 12, wherein the first elastic snap 43 is provided on the air outlet cover 40, and the first slot 12 is provided on the housing 10. As another alternative embodiment, it is also possible to arrange the first elastic snap 43 on the housing 10 and arrange the first slot 12 on the air outlet cover 40.

[0033] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the turbulent flow fan assembly 30 includes a fan blade 31, a motor 32 and a bracket 33. The fan blade 31 is installed at the driving end of the motor 32. The bracket 33 is installed on the housing 10 and located on the air outlet 11, and the motor 32 is installed on the bracket 33. Optionally, as Figure 4 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the bracket 33 is provided with a motor shaft hole 332 and a motor mounting hole 333. The rotating shaft of the motor 32 passes through the motor shaft hole 332, and the fan blade 31 is connected to the motor 32 by interference fit, and then the motor 32 and the bracket 33 are connected together by screws passing through the motor mounting holes 333.

[0034] In addition, the fan blade 31 can also adopt a rotating fan blade, which relies on the passive rotation of the heat flow to achieve heat diffusion, instead of the motor actively driving the fan blade.

[0035] Preferably, the bracket 33 and the housing 10 are detachably connected by a second snap structure. As Figure 4 shown, a second elastic snap is formed on the bracket 33, and a second slot is formed on the housing 10, and the second elastic snap is connected to the second slot.

[0036] As other alternative embodiments, the above connection method based on the snap structure can also be replaced by screws or bolts.

[0037] As Figure 4As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the bracket 33 is an X-shaped bracket, which can firmly support the fan blade 31 and the motor 32 on the air outlet 11, and can also minimize the influence of the bracket 33 on the air outlet. As another optional implementation manner, as long as the bracket 33 can fixedly install the fan blade 31 and the motor 32, a structure such as a cuboid bracket can also be adopted.

[0038] As can be seen from the above, the technical solution of the present invention makes the blowing range more diffused and softer, avoids heat accumulation at the air outlet during product use, accelerates heat diffusion at the air outlet, shortens the drying time of clothes, and improves the user experience.

[0039] Compared with a dryer with only a single air outlet, the technical solution of the present invention can make the air outlet diffusion range wider, the air outlet softer, and the heat diffusion more uniform. It can also make the air flow around the clothes faster when the dryer is working, change the environment around the clothes, avoid a high-temperature local environment, make the clothes receive heat evenly, and the clothes are almost dried at the same time, which avoids the local drying time of the dryer for drying clothes and shortens the drying time of the clothes.

[0040] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
