On the other hand, when the temperature control member is in normal use, the temperature control member is installed on the sliding plate and moves into the heating air duct with the sliding plate, so as to facilitate the detection of the temperature in the heating air duct. When the temperature control member needs to be repaired or replaced, the sliding plate can be moved relative to the support framework by the driving mechanism, so as to move the sliding plate out of the heating air duct, thereby facilitating the repair of the temperature control member and improving the repair efficiency.

[0020] Further, compared with arranging the driving mechanism in the form of a motor, arranging the driving mechanism in the form of an electromagnetic member can avoid using a motor, thereby reducing the cost of the driving mechanism and the cost of the drying air duct assembly.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the drying air duct assembly of the present application Figure 1 ; Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the drying air duct assembly of the present application Figure 2 ; Figure 3 is Figure 2 a cross-sectional structural schematic view along line A-A in

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the drying air duct assembly of the present application comprises a shell 1, a fan 2, a heating member and a temperature control member, the shell 1 has an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102, and has a containing cavity 103 (as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 ) in the shell 1, wherein the air outlet 102 and the air inlet 101 are both in communication with the containing cavity 103, and the fan 2 is arranged to introduce the airflow outside the shell 1 into the shell 1 through the air inlet 101, wherein the air outlet 102 is in communication with the drying chamber of the clothes treatment equipment to deliver hot air into the drying chamber.

[0043] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the heating component is disposed within the receiving cavity 103 of the housing 1 and located between the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102.

The temperature control component 7 is disposed within the heating air duct 30 and is connected in series with the heating element of the heating component to form a connected loop. The temperature control component 7 is used to detect the temperature within the heating air duct 30 and disconnects the loop when the temperature within the heating air duct 30 is greater than the set temperature.

[0044] With this setup, by incorporating a temperature control component 7 into the heating duct 30, the temperature within the heating duct 30 can be accurately monitored, enabling more precise high-temperature hot air delivery, improving drying efficiency, and shortening drying time. On the other hand, the circuit can be disconnected when the temperature within the heating duct 30 exceeds the set temperature, thus preventing the drying duct components from burning out due to excessively high hot air temperature and avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0045] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can make the housing 1 a single piece, or the housing 1 can be composed of an upper housing and a lower housing, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific configuration of the housing 1 do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
