The inner side of the drum 71 is at the position of the side of the drum 71. Through the action of the guide component, the wind direction can be changed according to the amount of clothes, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the clothes dryer as a whole.

[0041] In an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the guide assembly includes a plurality of rotating baffles 5 rotatably arranged in the air supply channel 6, and when the guide assembly is in the first air supply state, each rotating baffle 5 is parallel to the side wall of the drum 71; when the guide assembly is in the second air supply state, each rotating baffle 5 is inclined to the side wall of the drum 71.

[0042] In the embodiment further provided by the present invention, the heat supply fan 31 is arranged below the fixed shell 2, and the heat supply fan 31 is below the main body 7, and the air supply channel 6 is arranged above the heat supply fan 31. Specifically, the condenser is also below the main body 7, and the generated heat is transported to the air supply channel 6 through the heat supply fan 31, and finally enters the drum 71. The air supply channel 6 is arranged above the heat supply fan 31, which is more conducive to the transportation of hot air.

[0043] Furthermore, a fixing frame 11 is provided under the rear cover plate 1, and an adjusting member is provided on the fixing frame 11, a rotating shaft 3 is provided at the middle position of the heat supply fan 31, and one end of the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly rotatably provided on the fixed shell 2, and the other end is rotatably provided on the fixing frame 11, and the adjusting member and the rotating shaft 3 are transmission-coordinated.

[0044] Furthermore, the adjusting member is transmission-connected to the guide assembly via a connecting member, and during the rotation of the rotating shaft 3, the guiding assembly is driven to move via the adjusting member and the connecting assembly.

[0045] In an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the adjusting member includes a movable block 4 rotatably arranged on a rotating shaft 3, and a protruding rod 47 is fixedly arranged on the movable block 4, and one end of the connecting member is connected to the protruding rod 47, the rotating shaft 3 rotates to drive the protruding rod 47 to rotate, and can pull the connecting member to move so that the guide assembly moves.

[0046] In an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the connecting member includes a guide wheel 521 rotatably arranged on the rear cover plate 1 and a pull rope 52 wound around the guide wheel 521, and one end of the pull rope 52 is connected to and wound around the axis of the rotating baffle 5, and the other end is connected to the protruding rod 47. When the protruding rod 47 rotates, the rotating baffle 5 is driven to rotate through the connecting rope.

[0047] In an embodiment further provided by the present invention, a guide block 45 is disposed on the protruding block, and the guide block 45 is inserted into a slide groove 1101 provided on the fixing frame 11 .

[0048] In an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the movable block 4 is connected to the rotating shaft 3 through a clamping piece, the clamping piece includes an abutment rod 43 slidably set on the movable block 4, and a clamping block 431 is set at one end of the abutment rod 43, and a clamping groove 46 engaged with the clamping block 431 is set on the rotating shaft 3, one end of the clamping block 431 is fixedly connected to a second elastic member 432, and one end of the second elastic member 432 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable block 4.

[0049] In an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the second elastic member 432 is a tension spring, and a sliding column 41 is slidably provided on the movable block 4, and a first elastic member 411 is provided on one side of the sliding column 41, under whose elastic force the sliding column 41 pops out to the movable block 4, and a first locking groove 1102 and a second locking groove 1103 adapted to the sliding column 41 are opened in the sliding groove 1101.

[0050] When the sliding clamping column 41 is inserted into the first locking groove 1102 or the second locking groove 1103, the sliding clamping column 41 is not in the blocking abutment rod 43, and the abutment rod 43 is separated from the clamping groove 46 under the pulling force of the second elastic member 432, so that the rotating shaft 3 rotates normally, and the sliding clamping column 41 is inserted into the second locking groove 1103 to lock the position of the movable block 4, that is, the position of the rotating baffle 5 can be locked by the pull rope 52, that is, the rotating baffle 5 can be at a certain angle with the inner wall of the drum 71;

[0051] When the hot air is transported along the air supply channel 6, the tilted rotating baffle 5 can make the hot air blow toward the inner side wall of the drum 71. That is, when there are fewer clothes, the hot air can be blown to the inner side wall of the drum 71, so that the hot air can fully contact the clothes, thereby improving the drying effect more efficiently.

[0052] The present invention uses the adjusting member and the clamping member in coordination, that is, when adjusting the angle of the rotating baffle 5, the rotating baffle 5 can be passively adjusted by the rotation of the rotating shaft 3 on the heat supply fan 31, that is, the linkage between the rotating shaft 3 and the rotating baffle 5 can be greatly improved, and after the adjustment is completed, the rotating baffle 5 can be locked by the clamping member, and the transmission between the movable block 4 and the rotating shaft 3 can be disengaged, so that the rotating shaft 3 can operate normally, thereby greatly improving the linkage and functionality of the clamping member.

[0053] Specifically, a bearing 44 is also provided in the movable block 4, which is used to reduce the friction between the rotating shaft 3 and the movable block 4, so as to facilitate better rotation of the rotating shaft 3. A solenoid valve is provided in the interactive block, and when the solenoid valve is energized, it can absorb the sliding column 41 to make the sliding column 41 move toward the direction of approaching the electromagnet 42, and the opening and closing of the electromagnet 42 is connected to the dryer control program, and is selectively controlled by the control program.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, a telescopic connecting rod 53 is provided between each rotating block, and one end of the pull rope 52 is connected to the shaft rod of the rotating baffle 5. When the pull rope 52 is pulled, the pull rope 52 drives the shaft of the rotating baffle 5 to rotate, that is, it can drive the rotating baffle 5 to move, and each rotating baffle 5 is connected by a telescopic connecting rod 53, that is, it can drive the adjacent rotating baffles 5 to move, so that a row of rotating baffles 5 can rotate as a whole. There are two rows of rotating baffles 5 in the figure, which are pulled by two pull ropes 52 respectively. The winding method thereof satisfies that when the sliding card column 41 is inserted into the first locking groove 1102, the rotating baffle 5 is driven to move to an inclined setting, such as Fig.11 The state shown is sufficient, and a torque spring is arranged between the rotating shaft of the rotating baffle 5 and the rotating shaft of the rear cover plate 1. When the rotating baffle 5 is not subjected to tension, the elastic force of the torque spring makes the rotating baffle 5 parallel to the roller 71.

[0055] The rotating shaft 3 is rotatably disposed on the fixing frame 11 , and a torsion spring is also disposed between the movable block 4 and the rotating shaft 3 , the elastic force of which enables the sliding clamping column 41 to be clamped into the second locking groove 1103 .

[0056] Before the present invention is used, the sliding post 41 is in the second locking groove 1103. When there are fewer clothes, the button controlling the electromagnet 42 is pressed. At this time, the sliding post 41 is separated from the second locking groove 1103 by the adsorption of the electromagnet 42, and moves toward the inside of the movable block 4, and then squeezes the abutment rod 43, so that the abutment rod 43 moves downward, that is, under the squeezing of the first elastic member 411, the block 431 can be engaged in the slot 46, and then the dryer is started, and then the rotating shaft 3 rotates to drive the engaged block 431 and the movable block 4 to move synchronously. Then, the protruding rod 47 is also driven to move, and during the movement, the connected pull rope 52 is driven to move, and the pull rope 52 pulls the rotating baffle 5 connected to the other end of the pull rope 52 to move, and moves to be inclined with the inner wall of the drum 71, and finally in the process of movement, the sliding clamping column 41 moves to the direction of the first locking groove 1102, and then under the elastic force of the first elastic member 411, the sliding clamping column 41 is inserted into the first locking groove 1102, and then the card block 431 is disengaged from the card slot 46, and the movable block 4 is also stuck by the sliding clamping column 41, and the rotating baffle 5 is as shown in FIG. Fig.11The state shown, that is, the hot air delivered to the air supply channel 6 by the heat supply fan 31 can be mostly delivered to the inner edge position of the drum 71 after passing through the inclined rotating baffle 5, that is, less clothes can be fully exposed to the hot air, which can greatly improve the drying efficiency. After drying, pressing the button of the solenoid valve control again can make the sliding clamping column 41 in the first locking groove 1102 disengage and return to the position of the second locking groove 1103 under the elastic force of the torque spring of the movable block 4, and finally make the rotating baffle 5 parallel to the inner wall of the drum 71, that is, the button of the solenoid valve can be controlled according to the amount of clothes, so that the two rows of rotating baffles 5 can be controlled to rotate passively to the desired position at the same time.

[0057] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
