Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and in particular to a pull-out drying device, a combined pull-out drying device, and a drying method. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, a dryer is a machine that blows hot air into a drying drum to dry the items placed inside. Most dryers on the market use a drum design, while a small number are suspended dryers.

[0003] Rotary drum dryers, such as the Chinese utility model patent CN209759848U, blow hot air into the drying chamber while the drum rotates, using a tumbling motion to tumble the items to be dried, thus ensuring that all sides of the items are in contact with the hot air. While the drum rotation can solve the problem of localized dampness, rotary drum dryers are noisy during rotation, and the items to be dried are prone to clumping or tangling under the influence of gravity and centrifugal force. This results in uneven heating of the inner and outer layers of the items, leading to inconsistent drying levels. It takes longer to completely dry the clothes, and the high temperature can also cause stretching and deformation. Furthermore, to ensure that the items are shaken and tumbled during the tumbling process, the drum diameter needs to be large enough, resulting in a large overall size of the drying unit, increasing its footprint, and wasting energy when the total amount of items to be dried is small.

[0004] Hanging dryers, such as the Chinese utility model patent CN205088449U, hang the items to be dried and dry them with hot air, avoiding the problem of items tangling and also removing odors. However, because hanging dryers are usually tall to accommodate a wider range of sizes of items, they still have the problems of taking up a lot of space and wasting energy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems by providing a pull-out drying device, a combined pull-out drying device, and a drying method. Unlike common dryers, this invention uses a vibration method combined with the chamber, which can save energy and ensure that the items to be dried remain basically stable during the drying process, reducing wrinkles and accumulation.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0007] A pull-out drying device includes a dryer and a housing matched with the dryer. The dryer has a first cavity for placing the housing, and the first cavity has a first opening for the housing to enter and exit. The housing has a second cavity for placing the object to be dried, and the second cavity has a vibration device for vibrating the object to be dried. The first cavity also has a dryer for drying the object, and the second cavity has a second opening corresponding to the position of the dryer.

[0008] Alternatively, the first opening is located on the side of the dryer, and the housing can be pulled out and placed inside the first cavity; the dryer is located on the upper wall of the first cavity.

[0009] Alternatively, the second cavity may include a drying chamber for placing the object to be dried and a vibration chamber for placing the vibration device, the drying chamber and the vibration chamber being separated by a flexible wall.

[0010] Alternatively, the vibration device may include at least one placement plate for vibrating the object to be dried, the placement plate being located below the flexible wall and the top surface of the placement plate matching the bottom surface of the flexible wall; or, the placement plate being located at the bottom of the flexible wall and the side surface of the placement plate being integrally connected to the flexible wall.

[0011] Alternatively, the vibration device may further include at least one vibration mechanism for driving the placement plate to vibrate; wherein at least one placement plate is driven to vibrate by the vibration mechanism, and the vibration mechanism includes at least one vibration unit.

[0012] Alternatively, if the number of vibration units is one, the vibration mode of the vibration unit can be adjusted;

[0013] If the number of vibration units is two or more, at least one of the vibration units has an adjustable vibration mode.

[0014] Alternatively, the two or more vibration units may be selected as one or two types of jacking mechanism and lifting mechanism;

[0015] The lifting mechanism includes one, two, or more of the following: a cam structure, a connecting rod structure, and a telescopic rod structure.

[0016] The lifting mechanism includes one, two, or more of the following: a traction rope structure, a connecting rod structure, and a telescopic rod structure.

[0017] Alternatively, an elastic structure is provided between the placement plate and the box body, with one end of the elastic structure connected to the box body and the other end of the elastic structure acting on the placement plate.

[0018] Optionally, the dryer is provided with a first conductive docking device, and the box is provided with a second conductive docking device, the second conductive docking device being electrically connected to the vibration device; when the box is completely placed into the first cavity, the first conductive docking device and the second conductive docking device are electrically connected.

[0019] A combined pull-out drying device includes multiple pull-out drying devices as described above.

[0020] A drying method, applied to the pull-out drying device as described above, includes the following steps:

[0021] S1. Place the items to be dried into the drying chamber inside the box;

[0022] S2. Place the box completely into the first cavity of the dryer, and electrically connect the first conductive docking device and the second conductive docking device.

[0023] S3. Lock the cabinet to ensure it will not open during the drying process;

[0024] S4. Turn on the dryer. The heated air blows towards the items to be dried. The vibrating device inside the dryer moves up and down, causing the items to be thrown by inertia, which in turn shakes and / or flips the items to be dried.

[0025] S5. After drying is complete, unlock the box, remove the contents, and take out the items to be dried.

[0026] Alternatively, in step S3,

[0027] If the placement plate includes one piece and the vibration unit is one, the vibration unit can be adjusted so that the placement plate has different vibration modes at different times to match the various operating periods of drying.

[0028] If the placement plate includes one piece and the vibration unit is at least two, by adjusting the vibration unit, different parts of the placement plate can have different vibration modes, so that the items to be dried in certain parts can be dried in a focused manner and / or dispersed.

[0029] If the placement plate includes at least two plates, the vibration unit can be adjusted to make the placement plates have different vibration modes so that the items to be dried in certain parts are dried in a focused manner and / or dispersed.

[0030] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0031] 1. The present invention discloses a pull-out drying device, a combined pull-out drying device and a drying method, which uses a vibration device to shake and turn the items to be dried. Compared with the existing technical solutions, it can reduce the disturbance to the items to be dried and reduce wear while ensuring the drying effect. It can also maintain the approximate shape of the items to be dried, avoid pulling, and thus reduce wrinkles and prevent deformation.

[0032] 2. The pull-out drying device, combined pull-out drying device and drying method disclosed in this invention can achieve the effect of partial or complete vibration of the material to be dried by controlling the vibration unit separately, so that the required part can be shaken, turned over, accurately dried and flattened.

[0033] 3. The pull-out drying device and combined pull-out drying device disclosed in this invention have a simple structure, do not require a lot of extra space to realize complex structural movements, each component occupies less space, the whole machine is small in size and has a square shape, and multiple units can be stacked for use, saving space in the place of use and making more effective use of the energy consumption of the dryer.

[0034] 4. The pull-out drying device and combined pull-out drying device disclosed in this invention, by setting rollers and slide rails, realizes that the cabinet can be pulled in and out of the dryer in a pull-out manner. When installing the drying device, the user does not need to reserve extra space for the top door. It is also convenient for the user to pull out the cabinet and place the items to be dried. It is more suitable for embedded installation scenarios.

[0035] 5.

Detailed Implementation

[0046] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0048] Any feature disclosed in this specification, unless otherwise stated, may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features. That is, unless otherwise stated, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0049] A pull-out drying device, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the device includes a dryer 1 and a housing 2 that matches the dryer 1. The dryer 1 has a first cavity for placing the housing 2, and the first cavity has a first opening for the housing 2 to enter and exit. The housing 2 has a second cavity for placing the object to be dried 3, and the second cavity has a vibration device for driving the object to be dried 3 to vibrate. The first cavity also has a dryer 11 for drying the object to be dried 3, and the second cavity has a second opening corresponding to the position of the dryer 11.

[0050] Specifically, this device allows the items to be dried (3) to be placed directly inside the chamber (2) for drying, significantly reducing the space occupied by the drying device and making it more suitable for drying small quantities or smaller items. During the drying process, to ensure even distribution of hot air across the surface of the items (3), allowing for faster and more uniform drying both the internal and external surfaces, it's necessary to prevent the items (3) from piling up and being compressed. Existing methods avoid this by tumbling and hanging, which consumes a lot of space. This solution utilizes a vibration device, using vibration to shake and tumble the items (3), allowing for the exchange of external hot air and internal moisture. During this process, the items (3) move as a whole, which, compared to tumbling, prevents excessive stretching or compression during drying, reducing the probability of wrinkles and tangling. Vibration keeps the items (3) loose, preventing mutual compression and wrinkles, thus achieving better drying results. Furthermore, when certain materials of the item to be dried 3 vibrate rapidly, the surface of the item to be dried 3 experiences significant surface tension. Under the combined action of hot air and the surface tension of the item to be dried 3, the wrinkles on the item to be dried 3 are dried and smoothed out. The anti-vibration plate can cooperate with the vibration device to drive the item to be dried 3 to vibrate. In a specific implementation, the vibration device moves up and down along the height direction of the housing 2 to achieve vibration, preventing the item to be dried 3 from shifting significantly during vibration. The up-and-down movement causes the item to be dried 3 to shake, allowing external hot air and internal moisture to exchange. During this process, the item to be dried 3 moves as a whole, thus avoiding large-scale deformation similar to a drum, reducing the probability of wrinkles and tangling. Compared to drum-type drying devices, it does not require much tumbling space for the item to be dried 3; compared to hanging drying devices, it does not require the space in the height direction needed to accommodate all items to be dried 3, only some space for vibration. In addition, the second opening is used to add or remove the item 3 to be dried inside the chamber 2. The second opening corresponds to the position of the dryer 11, which allows the dryer 11 to act directly on the item 3 to be dried, preventing the chamber 2 from blocking the dryer 11 and thus affecting the drying effect.

[0051] In another specific embodiment, the first opening is located on the side of the dryer 1, and the housing 2 can be pulled out and placed inside the first cavity; the dryer 11 is located on the upper wall of the first cavity. The housing 2 enters and exits the opening from the side by being pulled out. A handle 26 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 2, allowing the user to easily pull it out. Furthermore, the pull-out drawer design allows the dryers 1 to be stacked, enabling them to be used in combination or individually to meet the needs of different quantities of items 3 to be dried. Due to the pull-out design, to prevent the items 3 from falling during pulling and to facilitate the handling of the items 3, the housing 2 has side walls on all four sides. The second opening is located above the second cavity. Furthermore, to prevent the side walls from obstructing the dryer 11 and affecting the drying effect, the dryer 11 is located on the upper wall of the first cavity.

[0052] In another specific embodiment, the second cavity includes a drying chamber 27 for placing the items to be dried 3 and a vibration chamber 28 for placing the vibration device. The drying chamber 27 and the vibration chamber 28 are separated by a flexible wall 23. To prevent water from entering the circuit connected to the vibration device, the drying chamber 27 and the vibration chamber 28 are provided to separate the items to be dried from the vibration device and other devices. Simultaneously, the vibration device needs to vibrate to shake the items to be dried 3. If a rigid material is used for separation, it will cause motion interference between the drying chamber 27 and the vibration chamber 28, preventing vibration. However, by using a flexible wall 23 for separation, when the vibration device vibrates, the flexible cavity wall deforms, causing the items to be dried 3 inside the drying chamber 27 to shake during the up-and-down movement.

[0053] In another specific embodiment, the vibration device includes at least one placement plate 21 for vibrating the object to be dried 3. The placement plate 21 is located below the flexible wall 23, and the top surface of the placement plate 21 matches the bottom surface of the flexible wall 23; alternatively, the placement plate 21 is located at the bottom of the flexible wall 23, and the side surface of the placement plate 21 is integrally connected to the flexible wall 23. The placement plate 21 provides a placement surface for the object to be dried 3. By moving the placement plate 21 up and down, the object to be dried 3 is thrown within the corresponding range of the placement plate 21, causing the object to be dried 3 to be shaken and turned over, while simultaneously driving the drying chamber 27 to vibrate. It is preferable that the placement plate 21 is located below the flexible wall 23. Compared to a placement plate 21 connected to the flexible wall 23, the process is simpler, and the sealing is better, eliminating the risk of failure of the connection between the placement plate 21 and the flexible wall 23. In addition, the flexible wall 23 and the placement plate 21 can be replaced separately.

[0054] In another specific embodiment, the vibration device further includes at least one vibration mechanism for driving the placement plate 21 to vibrate; wherein at least one placement plate 21 is driven to vibrate by the vibration mechanism, and the vibration mechanism includes at least one vibration unit 22. Since the items to be dried 3 have different styles and are not flat fabrics, the degree of accumulation and thickness of the items to be dried 3 are not the same in all locations. The structure of some parts may be more complex. If the same vibration mode is used, some parts will be dried early, while other structurally complex key parts will still be wet. Multiple vibration units 22 can achieve different driving modes at different positions of the placement plate 21. By allowing each item to be dried 3 inside to achieve single-point or multi-point vibration according to the required vibration mode and vibration point, the necessary parts can be dried in a focused manner, or the accumulated parts can be dispersed first. Meanwhile, the placement plate 21 can be a single piece or multiple interconnected plates. When there is one placement plate 21 and one vibration unit 22, the placement plate 21 vibrates as a whole through the vibration unit 22. When there is one placement plate 21 and more than one vibration unit 22, the vibration units 22 are located at different parts of the placement plate 21, so that the items 3 to be dried at different positions have the same or different vibration amplitudes. When there are multiple placement plates 21, any one or several placement plates 21 can be driven to vibrate by the vibration mechanism. At the same time, the placement plates 21 can be driven to vibrate by different numbers of vibration units 22. Preferably, each placement plate 21 is driven by a vibration mechanism, so that the items 3 to be dried at different positions can have the same or different vibration amplitudes, which is convenient for installation and control.

[0055] As another specific implementation, if the number of vibration units 22 is 1, the vibration mode of the vibration unit 22 can be adjusted;

[0056] If there are two or more vibration units 22, at least one of the vibration units 22 has an adjustable vibration mode.

[0057] If there is only one vibration unit 22, the vibration mode of the vibration device at different times can be adjusted by adjusting the vibration amplitude and / or vibration frequency of the vibration unit 22, thereby coordinating with each operating period of drying.

[0058] If there are two or more vibration units 22, at least one of the vibration units 22 has an adjustable vibration mode.

[0059] Specifically, when there is one placement plate 21, by adjusting the vibration amplitude and / or vibration frequency of a single vibration unit 22, different parts of the placement plate 21 can vibrate synchronously or asynchronously within a certain time period. When the vibration modes of all vibration units 22 are adjustable, the parts vibrating asynchronously can be selected, and the overall vibration amplitude and / or vibration frequency of the placement plate 21 can be increased. When there are two or more placement plates 21, different placement plates 21 can vibrate synchronously or asynchronously within a certain time period. At the same time, when the vibration modes of all vibration units 22 are adjustable, the placement plates 21 vibrating asynchronously can be selected, and the vibration amplitude and / or vibration frequency of all placement plates 21 can be increased together.

[0060] Furthermore, the chamber 2 is equipped with a weighing unit or can be manually set. Since the clothes to be dried 3 may not be completely laid out flat when placed in the chamber 2, resulting in wrinkles after compression and making them difficult to dry, the weighing unit or manual setting can determine which areas have thicker accumulations. Then, more vibrating, or asynchronous vibration, can be applied to these thicker accumulations, allowing the accumulated clothes 3 to disperse during vibration, improving drying efficiency and reducing wrinkles.

[0061] As another specific implementation, the two or more vibration units 22 may be selected as one or two types of lifting mechanism and hoisting mechanism;

[0062] The lifting mechanism includes one, two, or more of the following: a cam structure 221, a connecting rod structure, and a telescopic rod structure 222.

[0063] The lifting mechanism includes one, two, or more of the following: a traction rope structure, a connecting rod structure, and a telescopic rod structure 222.

[0064] Since the vibrating device moves up and down, the specific selection can include a lifting mechanism with force applied from below, a lifting mechanism with force applied from above, or a combination thereof. When using a cam structure 221 and a linkage structure, no large inertial force or torque is generated during movement, thus maintaining vibration stability well. Furthermore, by adjusting the shape and size of the cam, it can generate large vibrational force, instantaneous force, and instantaneous speed during rotation, allowing the items to be dried 3 to be better dispersed. Using a lifting mechanism can generate stable amplitude and frequency, and the vibration amplitude of different vibrating devices can be easily adjusted. Adjusting the vibration amplitude according to weight is more conducive to adjustment. Using a traction rope structure allows for rapid release, utilizing inertia to disperse the items to be dried 3. Other structures can also be used for the lifting and lifting mechanisms, not limited to this embodiment.

[0065] In another specific embodiment, an elastic structure 24 is provided between the placement plate 21 and the housing 2. One end of the elastic structure 24 is connected to the housing 2, and the other end acts on the placement plate 21. The elastic structure 24 can change the resonance characteristics of the vibration device and achieve good dynamic characteristics, specific natural frequency, amplitude, and other performance indicators. The elastic structure 24 makes the placement plate 21 more stable during vibration. Specifically, the elastic structure 24 can be a spring mechanism located at the bottom of the vibration plate and the housing 2, a flexible airbag located between the placement plate 21 and the housing 2, or an elastic rope connecting the placement plate 21 and the housing 2. Alternatively, the spring can be located on the plate and connected to the side or top of the housing 2, achieving vibration through tension rather than elasticity.

[0066] In another specific implementation, the dryer 1 is provided with a first conductive docking device 12, and the housing 2 is provided with a second conductive docking device 25. The second conductive docking device 25 is electrically connected to the vibration device. When the housing 2 is completely placed into the first cavity, the first conductive docking device 12 and the second conductive docking device 25 are electrically connected. Since the vibration device in this design needs to be connected to the power supply inside the dryer 1 for power, and the vibration device is located on the housing 2, which is pulled out of the dryer 1, if the power supply of the vibration device is directly connected to the wires inside the dryer 1, the power to the vibration device cannot be cut off when the housing 2 is pulled out, which may cause misoperation or safety problems. This design also prevents adverse situations such as compression of the wires during pulling out.

[0067] In addition, the dryer 1 is equipped with a slide rail for the chamber 2 to enter and exit the main unit. The slide rail reduces friction when the chamber 2 enters and exits, increasing the service life of the chamber 2. At the same time, it can also limit the movement of the chamber 2, ensuring the accuracy of the docking of the first conductive docking device 12 and the second conductive docking device 25, thereby ensuring the safety of the drying device.

[0068] Furthermore, the dryer 1 can also be equipped with conventional dryer 1 devices such as an exhaust system and a condensation system, which will not be described in detail here. When the drying chamber 27 is pushed into the main unit, hot air dries the object to be dried 3 from top to bottom. During the drying process, the water vapor is discharged from the dryer 1 or condensed. Preferably, an opening is provided on the side of the dryer 1 to allow the water vapor to be discharged.

[0069] Furthermore, this device can also be equipped with an agitation mechanism (such as a pulsator) and water inlet / outlet connectors inside (e.g., on the placement plate 21) to enable it to be used as a washer-dryer combo. Specifically, the agitation mechanism is located inside the drying chamber 27, and the water inlet / outlet connectors are connected to the drying chamber 27, thereby preventing vibration of the vibration chamber 28.

[0070] A combined pull-out drying device includes multiple pull-out drying units as described above. To reduce space requirements and prevent waste of hot air due to excessive space relative to the items to be dried (3), this device is smaller than existing structures in its implementation. To accommodate large-capacity items (3), multiple drying units can be stacked together. Preferably, each dryer 1 can be equipped with a connecting mechanism for docking with the upper and lower dryers 1, such as grooves, protrusions, or connecting plates, to position them mutually, allowing multiple drying units to be used in combination. This mechanism limits the relative positions between the dryers 1, and vibration damping mechanisms are provided at the connection points to prevent resonance between multiple units or upper units from vibrating and falling off.

[0071] A drying method, applied to the pull-out drying device as described above, includes the following steps:

[0072] S1. Place the item 3 to be dried into the drying chamber 27 inside the box 2;

[0073] S2. Place the box 2 completely into the first cavity of the dryer 1, and electrically connect the first conductive docking device 12 and the second conductive docking device 25.

[0074] S3. Lock the cabinet 2 to ensure it will not open during the drying process;

[0075] S4. Turn on the dryer 11. The heated air blows towards the item to be dried 3. The vibration device inside the dryer 1 moves up and down, causing the item to be dried 3 to be thrown under inertia, thereby shaking and / or turning the item to be dried 3.

[0076] S5. After drying is complete, unlock the box, remove the chamber 2, and remove the item to be dried 3.

[0077] Specifically, compared with drum and hanging drying devices, the use of a vibration device can reduce the size of the whole machine while keeping the material to be dried 3 loose and reducing wrinkles. At the same time, compared with drum drying, it can maintain the shape of the material to be dried 3, prevent damage to the material to be dried 3 due to pulling, and ensure that all sides of the material to be dried 3 can contact the hot air during the vibration process, so that the material to be dried 3 can be dried.

[0078] As another specific implementation method, in step S3...

[0079] If the placement plate 21 includes one piece and the vibration unit 22 is one, the vibration unit 22 can be adjusted so that the placement plate 21 has different vibration modes at different times to match the various operating periods of drying.

[0080] If the placement plate 21 includes one piece and the vibration unit 22 is at least two, by adjusting the vibration unit 22, different parts of the placement plate 21 can have different vibration modes, so that the items to be dried 3 in certain parts can be dried in a focused manner and / or dispersed.

[0081] If the placement plate 21 includes at least two pieces, the vibration unit 22 is adjusted so that the placement plates 21 have different vibration modes, so that the items to be dried 3 in certain parts are dried in a focused manner and / or dispersed.

[0082] Because the items to be dried 3 may not be able to be completely flattened when placed in the chamber 2, they may be compressed, making it difficult to dry the thicker parts. Furthermore, the dried items may develop wrinkles due to accumulation. By applying greater vibration to the thicker areas, the accumulated items can be dispersed during vibration, improving drying efficiency and reducing wrinkles.

[0083] The following are some optional embodiments of the present invention:

[0084] Example 1

[0085] like Figure 3-5 As shown, a pull-out drying device includes a dryer 1 and a housing 2 matched with the dryer 1. The dryer 1 has a first cavity for placing the housing 2, and the first cavity has a first opening for the housing 2 to enter and exit. The housing 2 has a second cavity for placing the object to be dried 3, and the second cavity has a vibration device for driving the object to be dried 3 to vibrate. The first cavity also has a dryer 11 for drying the object to be dried 3, and the second cavity has a second opening corresponding to the position of the dryer 11.

[0086] Furthermore, the first opening is located on the side of the dryer 1, and the housing 2 can be pulled out and placed inside the first cavity; the dryer 11 is located on the upper wall of the first cavity.

[0087] Furthermore, the second cavity includes a drying chamber 27 for placing the object to be dried 3 and a vibration chamber 28 for placing the vibration device, the drying chamber 27 and the vibration chamber 28 being separated by a flexible wall 23.

[0088] Furthermore, the vibration device includes a placement plate 21 for vibrating the object to be dried 3. The placement plate 21 is located below the flexible wall 23, and the top surface of the placement plate 21 matches and adheres to the bottom surface of the flexible wall 23. The placement plate 21 is driven to vibrate by a vibration mechanism. There are two vibration units 22, each of which is a cam structure 221 located below the placement plate 21. The placement plate 21 moves up and down, either entirely or partially, through the rotation of the cam structure 221. Preferably, the bottom of the placement plate 21 is provided with two cam structures 221, which are respectively located on both sides of the placement plate 21. The two cam structures 221 move synchronously, making the vibration of the placement plate 21 more stable and enabling more tumbling and shaking of the items to be dried 3. When needed, only one side of the plate can vibrate, or the two cam structures 221 can vibrate at different frequencies. For example, when drying hoodies, the hoods have a more complex structure and require greater vibration, so the hood side needs greater vibration. Alternatively, if the user does not lay the items to be dried 3 flat when placing them in, the system's automatic weighing unit or the user can manually set it to make one side vibrate more, allowing the piled items to be dried 3 to disperse during the process and improve drying efficiency. Specifically, the cam structure 221 includes a cam body, which is connected to the housing 2 via a rotating shaft. A support part is provided above the cam body, with the lower part of the support part contacting the cam body and the upper part of the support part connected to the placement plate 21. The rotation of the cam body drives the support part to rise and fall, which in turn drives the placement plate 21 to vibrate.

[0089] Furthermore, the dryer 1 is equipped with a first conductive docking device 12, and the housing 2 is equipped with a second conductive docking device 25. The second conductive docking device 25 is electrically connected to the vibration device. When the housing 2 is completely placed into the first cavity, the first conductive docking device 12 and the second conductive docking device 25 are electrically connected. Specifically, after the second conductive docking device 25 is electrically connected to the first conductive docking device 12, the rotating shaft is driven to rotate by a motor.

[0090] Example 2

[0091] like Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, based on embodiment 1, an elastic structure 24 is provided between the placement plate 21 and the box 2. The elastic structure 24 is a spring mechanism, one end of which is connected to the box 2, and the other end of which acts on the placement plate 21. This makes the placement plate 21 more stable during vibration.

[0092] Example 3

[0093] like Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the vibration unit 22 is a telescopic rod structure 222, which enables the vertical movement of the placement plate 21. Specifically, the telescopic rod structure 222 can be fixedly or loosely in contact with the placement plate 21.

[0094] Example 4

[0095] Based on embodiments 1-3, in order to facilitate the connection of the wires, the first conductive docking device 12 is a conductive groove located at the deepest part of the dryer 1. Only when the box 2 is in this position can the second conductive docking device 25 dock with it to conduct electricity and provide power to the cam structure 221 or the telescopic rod structure 222.

[0096] Example 5

[0097] like Figure 8 As shown, based on embodiments 1-4, multiple pull-out drying devices can be stacked together for use. Preferably, each dryer 1 can be provided with a connecting mechanism for docking with the upper and lower dryers 1, such as a groove, a protrusion, or a connecting piece, so that they are positioned with each other, allowing multiple drying devices to be used in combination, which is used to limit the relative position between the dryers 1, and different drying devices can be fixed and electrically conductive through contact.

[0098] This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The invention extends to any new feature or combination disclosed in this specification, as well as any new method or process step or combination disclosed herein.
