[0046] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0047] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "inner" and "outer", etc., which indicate the direction or positional relationship, are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0048] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] Gas-fired clothes dryers in related technologies include a casing, a drying drum, a fan, and a gas heating device. The casing has an internal space within which the drying drum, fan, and gas heating device are housed. The gas heating device includes a gas valve, an inlet pipe, a burner, a combustion chamber, and an ignition needle. The gas valve has an inlet and an outlet; the inlet connects to the inlet pipe, and the outlet connects to the burner. The burner has a combustion air inlet and a nozzle. The combustion air inlet allows combustion air to enter the burner, where it mixes with the gas and is then ejected from the nozzle. Both the nozzle and the ignition needle are housed within the combustion chamber. The gas ejected from the nozzle is ignited by the ignition needle, and the heat generated by the combustion heats the air within the combustion chamber. Under the action of the fan, the heated air enters the drying drum to dry the clothes inside.

[0051] Gas dryers can use either natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The amount of combustion air required for natural gas and LPG differs significantly. When burning the same volume of natural gas and LPG, LPG requires approximately three times the amount of combustion air. Therefore, the burners designed for natural gas and LPG have different structures. The combustion air inlet on the burner designed for LPG is larger than that on the burner designed for natural gas.

[0052] When a gas-fired clothes dryer leaves the factory, the burner installed inside the casing is compatible with natural gas. If the user wants to use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), the burner needs to be replaced. Replacing the burner requires opening the casing and removing the drying drum from the storage space before the burner can be replaced, which is a cumbersome process.

[0053] This embodiment provides a gas-fired clothes dryer with an installation base inside the casing. A gas heating device is connected to the installation bracket, which is detachably connected to the installation base. A maintenance port is provided on the casing, directly opposite the installation base. When replacing the burner, the installation bracket is removed from the installation base through the maintenance port, and then the gas heating device and the installation bracket are moved out of the casing through the maintenance port to replace the burner on the gas heating device. The whole process is convenient and quick.

[0054] The principles and features of the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the gas dryer provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a housing 100, a gas heating device 300, and a mounting bracket 400. The housing 100 has an accommodating space, and a mounting base 200 is disposed within the accommodating space. Figure 2 As shown, the housing 100 has an operating side 101, which is oriented towards the user, and a maintenance port 102 is provided on the operating side 101. Figure 1 As shown), the maintenance port 102 is connected to the accommodating space and is directly opposite the mounting base 200.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The gas heating device 300 is connected to the mounting bracket 400. The gas heating device 300 includes a burner 301, which is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 400. The mounting bracket 400 is detachably connected to the mounting base 200. The maintenance port 102 is also directly opposite the gas heating device 300 and the mounting bracket 400, and the gas heating device 300 and the mounting bracket 400 can pass through the maintenance port 102.

[0057] When it is necessary to replace the burner 301, remove the mounting bracket 400 from the mounting base 200 through the service port 102, then move the gas heating device 300 and the mounting bracket 400 out of the housing 100 through the service port 102, remove the burner 301 from the mounting bracket 400, install the burner 301 to be used onto the mounting bracket 400, then move the mounting bracket 400 and the gas heating device 300 from the service port 102 into the receiving space, and assemble the mounting bracket 400 onto the mounting base 200 through the service port 102.

[0058] During the replacement of burner 301, there is no need to open the casing and remove the dryer drum. The whole process is convenient and quick, saving maintenance time and reducing maintenance costs.

[0059] The aforementioned mounting base 200 can be disposed on the inner wall of the housing 100 or at the bottom of the accommodating space, and so on. Figure 1 In the implementation where the mounting base 200 is located at the bottom of the accommodating space, a fixing plate can be provided at the bottom of the mounting base 200. The fixing plate can be parallel to the horizontal plane and can be provided with fixing holes. Fastening bolts pass through the fixing holes and connect to the housing 100, thereby detachably connecting the base to the housing 100. Alternatively, the mounting base 200 can also be welded to the housing 100. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of the mounting base 200 may have a support plate 201, and the mounting base 200 also has a connecting sidewall 202. The connecting sidewall 202 is located below the support plate 201 and is adjacent to the support plate 201. The connecting sidewall 202 is positioned towards the maintenance port 102. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 400 may include a first connecting plate 401 and a second connecting plate 402. The first connecting plate 401 is parallel to the support plate 201, and the second connecting plate 402 is disposed at the bottom of the first connecting plate 401. Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the first connecting plate 401 is attached to the support plate 201, the second connecting plate 402 is attached to the connecting side wall 202, and the fastening bolt passes through the second connecting plate 402 and connects to the connecting side wall 202.

[0060] When replacing the burner 301, loosen the fastening bolts to separate the second connecting plate 402 from the connecting side wall 202. Then, hold the mounting bracket 400 and move it towards the service port 102 to separate it from the mounting base 200. Remove the mounting bracket 400 from the service port 102. Since the gas heating device 300 is connected to the mounting bracket 400, the gas heating device 300 is removed from the service port 102 along with the mounting bracket 400 to facilitate the replacement of the burner 301 by maintenance personnel. After replacement, install the mounting bracket 400 from the service port 102 onto the mounting base 200.

[0061] In the embodiment where the mounting base 200 is disposed on the inner sidewall of the housing 100, the mounting base 200 may have a second sidewall and a third sidewall. The second sidewall is away from the inner sidewall of the housing 100 where the mounting base 200 is located, and the third sidewall is adjacent to the second sidewall and faces the maintenance port 102. The mounting bracket 400 may include a first connecting plate 401 and a second connecting plate 402. The first connecting plate 401 is adjacent to the second connecting plate 402, the first connecting plate 401 is in contact with the second sidewall, and the second connecting plate 402 is in contact with the third sidewall. The fastening bolt passes through the second connecting plate 402 and connects to the third sidewall.

[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 6 In the implementation where the mounting base 200 is located at the bottom of the accommodating space, a first snap-fit ​​plate 403 can also be provided at the bottom of the first connecting plate 401. The first snap-fit ​​plate 403 is perpendicular to the first connecting plate 401, and a notch 404 is provided at the end of the first snap-fit ​​plate 403 facing away from the second connecting plate 402 (e.g., Figure 9 As shown), the top of notch 404 extends to the bottom of the first connecting plate 401. (Continue referring to...) Figure 3 The support plate 201 is provided with a first mounting hole 203, which is used for the first snap-fit ​​plate 403 to pass through, and the support plate 201 is snapped into the notch 404 (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown).

[0063] The width of the notch 404 in the direction perpendicular to the first connecting plate 401 is equal to the thickness of the support plate 201. This allows the support plate 201 to fit snugly into the notch 404, preventing the first connecting plate 401 and the support plate 201 from shaking after the support plate 201 is snugly fitted into the notch 404. This makes the connection between the mounting bracket 400 and the mounting base 200 more stable.

[0064] When assembling the mounting bracket 400 and the mounting base 200, first move the first snap-fit ​​plate 403 above the first mounting hole 203, then move the mounting bracket 400 downward so that the first snap-fit ​​plate 403 passes through the first mounting hole 203 from top to bottom; then move the mounting bracket 400 away from the maintenance port 102 so that the support plate 201 snaps into the notch 404, thereby realizing the connection between the first connecting plate 401 and the support plate 201, making the connection between the mounting bracket 400 and the mounting base 200 more stable.

[0065] When removing the mounting bracket 400 from the mounting base 200, move the mounting bracket 400 toward the maintenance port 102 so that the support plate 201 moves out of the notch 404. Then move the mounting bracket 400 upward so that the first snap-fit ​​plate 403 moves out of the first mounting hole 203, thereby removing the mounting bracket 400 from the mounting base 200 quickly and easily.

[0066] Continue to refer to Figure 3 Furthermore, the first mounting hole 203 may include a first hole segment 204, a second hole segment 205, and a third hole segment 206, which are connected and the distances between the first hole segment 204, the second hole segment 205, and the third hole segment 206 and the second connecting plate 402 increase sequentially. In the direction perpendicular to the first snap-fit ​​plate 403, the width of the third hole segment 206 is equal to the thickness of the first snap-fit ​​plate 403, so that the first snap-fit ​​plate 403 can be snapped into the third hole segment 206. The width of the first hole segment 204 is greater than the width of the third hole segment 206, that is, the width of the first hole segment 204 is greater than the thickness of the first snap-fit ​​plate 403, which makes it easier to insert the first snap-fit ​​plate 403 into the first hole segment 204. The width of the second hole section 205 decreases from the first hole section 204 to the third hole section 206. The side wall of the second hole section 205 can guide the first snap-fit ​​plate 403, so that after the first snap-fit ​​plate 403 is inserted into the first hole section 204, it can move along the side wall of the second hole section 205 into the third hole section 206, making the assembly between the mounting bracket 400 and the mounting base 200 more convenient and faster.

[0067] Continue to refer to Figure 6 In the implementation where the mounting base 200 is located at the bottom of the accommodating space, a second snap-fit ​​plate 405 can also be provided at the bottom of the first connecting plate 401. The second snap-fit ​​plate 405 has a fixed end 406 and a movable end 407. The fixed end 406 is connected to the first connecting plate 401, and the movable end 407 extends away from the second connecting plate 402. An accommodating gap 408 is provided between the second snap-fit ​​plate 405 and the first connecting plate 401. A second mounting hole is provided on the support plate 201 for the second snap-fit ​​plate 405 to pass through, and the support plate 201 is snapped into the accommodating gap 408.

[0068] When assembling the mounting bracket 400 and the mounting base 200, first move the second snap-fit ​​plate 405 above the second mounting hole, then move the mounting bracket 400 downwards so that the second snap-fit ​​plate 405 passes through the second mounting hole from top to bottom; then move the mounting bracket 400 away from the maintenance opening 102 so that the support plate 201 snaps into the receiving gap 408 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the first connecting plate 401 is connected to the support plate 201, making the connection between the mounting bracket 400 and the mounting base 200 more stable.

[0069] When removing the mounting bracket 400 from the mounting base 200, move the mounting bracket 400 toward the maintenance port 102 so that the support plate 201 moves out of the receiving gap 408. Then move the mounting bracket 400 upward so that the second snap-fit ​​plate 405 moves out of the second mounting hole, thereby removing the mounting bracket 400 from the mounting base 200 quickly and easily.

[0070] Continue to refer to Figure 3 Furthermore, a portion of the first connecting plate 401 is recessed downward to form a mounting groove 207. The opening of the mounting groove 207 forms a second mounting hole. The second snap-fit ​​plate 405 can be accommodated in the mounting groove 207. A third mounting hole 208 is provided on the groove wall of the mounting groove 207 away from the second connecting plate 402. The third mounting hole 208 is located below the first connecting plate 401. The top end of the third mounting hole 208 can extend to the bottom of the first connecting plate 401. The third mounting hole 208 is used to allow the second snap-fit ​​plate 405 to pass through.

[0071] Continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 9 The second snap-fit ​​plate 405 can extend in a wave shape, and the second snap-fit ​​plate 405 can have a trough and a crest. The second snap-fit ​​plate 405 at the crest can abut against the bottom of the support plate 201 to reduce the contact area between the second snap-fit ​​plate 405 and the support plate 201, thereby reducing the friction between the second snap-fit ​​plate 405 and the support plate 201. This makes it easier to assemble the mounting bracket 400 and the mounting base 200 by requiring less external force during installation and disassembly.

[0072] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, a maintenance cover 103 may be provided on the operating side 101. The maintenance cover 103 is used to close the maintenance port 102. The maintenance cover 103 is detachably connected to the housing 100. For example, the maintenance cover 103 and the housing 100 can be connected by fastening bolts.

[0073] When it is necessary to replace the burner 301, open the maintenance cover 103 to expose the maintenance port 102, and then remove the mounting bracket 400 from the mounting base 200 through the maintenance port 102 and replace the burner 301.

[0074] Continue to refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the burner 301 has a first mounting plate 302 and a second mounting plate 303, the planes containing the first mounting plate 302 and the second mounting plate 303 being coplanar. Continuing to refer to... Figure 5 The mounting bracket 400 also includes a third connecting plate 409 and a fourth connecting plate 410. The third connecting plate 409 and the fourth connecting plate 410 are parallel and spaced apart on top of the first connecting plate 401, and both are perpendicular to the first connecting plate 401. The top end of the third connecting plate 409 is bent towards the fourth connecting plate 410 to form a first bent plate 411. The first mounting plate 302 is detachably connected to the first bent plate 411; for example, the first mounting plate 302 and the first bent plate 411 can be connected by fastening bolts. The top end of the fourth connecting plate 410 is bent towards the third connecting plate 409 to form a second bent plate 412. The second mounting plate 303 is detachably connected to the second bent plate 412; for example, the second mounting plate 303 and the second bent plate 412 can be connected by fastening bolts.

[0075] Furthermore, the third connecting plate 409 and / or the fourth connecting plate 410 may be provided with a grip for a maintenance personnel to hold. For example, the grip may include a grip opening 413 or a grip handle, which may be located on the outer side of the third connecting plate 409 and / or the fourth connecting plate 410. Continuing to refer to... Figure 4-7 The grip opening 413 can be provided on the third connecting plate 409 and / or the fourth connecting plate 410. When disassembling the mounting bracket 400, the maintenance personnel insert their fingers into the grip opening 413 and pull the mounting bracket 400 towards the maintenance port 102, thereby making it easier to separate the mounting bracket 400 from the mounting base 200. When assembling the mounting bracket 400 and the mounting base 200, the maintenance personnel insert their fingers into the grip opening 413 and push the mounting bracket 400 away from the maintenance port 102, thereby facilitating the assembly of the mounting bracket 400 and the mounting base 200.

[0076] Continue to refer to Figure 7The aforementioned gas heating device 300 may further include a gas valve 304, an inlet pipe 305, an ignition needle 307, and a combustion chamber 308. The gas valve 304 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the inlet pipe 305, and the outlet is connected to the burner 301. An inlet valve 306 may be provided on the inlet pipe 305. Gas enters the gas valve 304 from the inlet pipe 305 and then enters the burner 301 from the gas valve 304. The burner 301 has a nozzle from which gas is ejected. The ignition needle 307 is positioned close to the nozzle. Both the ignition needle 307 and the nozzle are housed within the combustion chamber 308. The ignition needle 307 is used to ignite the gas ejected from the nozzle, and the heat generated by the combustion of the gas heats the air inside the combustion chamber 308.

[0077] In addition to the burner 301 being detachably connected to the mounting bracket 400, the gas valve 304, ignition needle 307, and combustion cylinder 308 can also be detachably connected to the mounting bracket 400, making it easy to replace damaged parts when the gas valve 304, ignition needle 307, or combustion cylinder 308 is damaged.
