Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of clothes dryers, and in particular, relates to a clothes dryer bracket structure for a clothes dryer and an improvement of the clothes dryer structure. Background Art

[0002] The dryer heats the dry air to reach its capacity to carry moisture. The high-temperature, dry air heats the wet clothes after it comes into contact with them, causing the moisture in the wet clothes to precipitate out in the form of water vapor. At this time, the relatively dry and hot air around the clothes quickly absorbs the water vapor on the surface of the clothes and turns into medium-high temperature saturated wet air for discharge.

[0003] Existing clothes dryers come with a drying rack, which can be used to dry shoes and some delicate clothes, such as woolen clothes.

[0004] Since the drying racks of clothes dryers are basically flat structures with a simple structure, when using the drying rack to dry shoes, since the shoes and clothes can only be placed flat on the drying rack, the contact area with the hot air is small, it is not ideal for drying some underwear, shoes, small clothes, etc. The drying time will be longer and the drying will be uneven.

[0005] Furthermore, since the drying rack of the clothes dryer is a flat structure, it cannot be folded and stored when not in use, and also has the disadvantage of occupying a large space.

[0006] The above information disclosed in the background technology is only used to increase the understanding of the background technology of the present application, and therefore, it may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0029] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more. Example

[0031] The present invention provides an embodiment of a drying bracket for a clothes dryer, which is mainly used to be built into the clothes dryer to facilitate users to place some precise clothes or small clothes that are easy to lose on it for drying.

[0032] The drying bracket structure of the clothes dryer includes: The main bearing frame 100 is the bearing base of the entire drying support and plays a major bearing and supporting role.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the main support frame 100 includes: A first main body bearing member 130, a second main body bearing member 140 disposed opposite to the first main body bearing member 130; and side connecting bearing members respectively used to connect the first main body bearing member 130 and the second main body bearing member 140 at both ends.

[0034] The first main body bearing member 130 , the second main body bearing member 140 and the side connecting bearing member are connected to form a square-like bearing frame.

[0035] The first main body bearing member 130, the second main body bearing member 140 and the side connecting bearing frame can use bearing rods, and the material thereof can be stainless steel, which has a certain structural supporting strength to ensure supporting performance.

[0036] A support frame 200 is arranged at one end of the main bearing frame body 100 and is foldable relative to the main bearing frame body 100; The support frame 200 is used to support the main bearing frame body 100, and is arranged vertically to the main bearing frame body 100 to ensure support; The support frame 200 is also used to assemble the entire clothes dryer drying rack into the clothes dryer to achieve the connection between the entire drying rack and the clothes dryer.

[0037] It is foldable relative to the main carrier body 100. When in use, it can be opened relative to the main carrier body 100 to support and connect the main carrier body 100 to the dryer so that it can be placed in the dryer for drying clothes. After being folded relative to the main supporting frame 100 , it can be folded and stored.

[0038] By setting the support frame 200 structure, the entire drying rack can be folded and stored as a whole when not in use, thereby reducing the occupied space.

[0039] The swing unit 300 comprises: A plurality of swing components 310 are provided, and the swing components 310 are slidable relative to the main bearing frame 100, and the swing components 310 slide relative to the main bearing frame 100 to at least change the distance between the swing components 310 and the adjacent swing components 310; In some embodiments of the present application, the swing component 310 is a swing rod, which is slidably connected to the main supporting frame 100, and each swing component 310 can slide relative to the main supporting frame 100 to enable it to change its position.

[0040] When in use, the spacing between adjacent swing components 310 can be changed by sliding the swing components 310; The spacing between adjacent swing components 310 can be adjusted to accommodate different clothing needs.

[0041] For example, when small items such as socks or underwear need to be dried, which are relatively small in size, in order to carry the clothes and prevent them from falling, the spacing between the swinging parts 310 needs to be relatively small; If there is no need to place larger items such as blankets for drying, the distance between the swing parts 310 can be increased.

[0042] Of course, multiple swing components 310 may also be used to carry the load, so that the multiple swing components 310 are spaced at different intervals to meet all loading requirements.

[0043] By sliding the swing component 310, the distance between the plurality of swing components 310 can be adjusted to meet the needs of carrying and using different items, making it more convenient and flexible for users to carry clothes.

[0044] The swing component 310 is rotatable relative to the main carrier body 100, and has a swing position and a flat position, and can be switched between the swing position and the flat position by rotating relative to the main carrier body 100; By rotating the swing component 310, it can be rotated to different positions relative to the main carrier body 100, such as being rotated to a swing position, or being rotated to a flat position, so that different specific positions of the swing component 310 can correspond to different scenes for drying clothes.

[0045] To achieve sliding connection and rotational connection between the swing component 310 and the main bearing frame 100 , in some embodiments of the present application, a sliding element 500 is connected to the main bearing frame 100 , and the sliding element 500 is connected to two oppositely disposed side connecting bearing members.

[0046] For the convenience of description, in this embodiment, the length of the side connecting bearing member is set as the first direction, which corresponds to the front-to-back direction when the clothes drying rack is assembled in the dryer.

[0047] The length direction of the vertical side connection bearing member is the second direction, that is, the left-right direction corresponding to the clothes drying rack when it is assembled in the clothes dryer.

[0048] The sliding element 500 is extended along the second direction to guide the swing component 310 in sliding manner.

[0049] The sliding element 500 is a sliding rod.

[0050] A sliding ring 320 is provided at the end of the swing component 310. The inner diameter of the sliding ring 320 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the sliding rod. The sliding ring 320 is sleeved on the sliding rod and can slide along the sliding rod and can rotate circumferentially around the axis of the sliding rod.

[0051] A support and positioning member 400 having a first position and a second position; When the supporting and positioning component 400 is in the first position, it supports and positions the swing component 310 in the swing position, and makes the swing component 310 and the main supporting frame body 100 arranged at an angle, and the size of the angle is adjustable.

[0052] When the supporting positioning component 400 is in the second position, it is disengaged from the swing component 310 so that the swing component 310 can rotate to a flat position. When the swing component 310 rotates to the flat position, it is limited by the main supporting frame body 100 and is coplanar with the main supporting frame body 100.

[0053] When the supporting and positioning component 400 is in the first position, it can be used to support and position the swing component 310 .

[0054] Since the swing component 310 is rotatable, it can be supported and positioned by the supporting and positioning component 400 at a certain height to ensure that it is set at an angle with the main supporting frame 100, so that there is a distance between the swing component 310 and the main supporting frame 100. The entire swing component 310 is in a three-dimensional state, and air can pass through its bottom layer, top layer and surrounding area, so that the air can flow through the clothes on the swing component 310 from various angles, and three-dimensional drying can be achieved at different positions of front, back, left and right, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0055] In the drying room, for clothes that are not easy to dry and are small in size, such as underwear and shoes, the swing component 310 can be swung to the swing position for drying, so as to achieve a quick drying effect; Of course, in order to achieve matching of the load of clothes, some of the multiple swing components 310 can be swung to the swing position, or all of them can be swung to the swing position, and the specific selection can be made according to the actual size of the clothes to be dried.

[0056] When large pieces of clothing need to be dried, the support and positioning component 400 can be adjusted to the second position. In the second position, it is disengaged from the swing component 310, that is, it does not support and position the swing component 310 and does not interfere with the swing component 310 to the flat position.

[0057] When the supporting and positioning member 400 is in the second position, the swinging member 310 can be rotated to a flat position with the main supporting frame body 100, so as to dry the clothes in a flat manner.

[0058] The drying bracket of the clothes dryer in this embodiment can be used to support the positioning component 400 and the swing component 310 so that the swing component 310 can be switched between the swing position and the flat position, so that the user can perform vertical drying or flat drying according to actual use needs, thereby realizing diversified selection of drying modes and facilitating the user's use requirements for different use modes; Secondly, the swing component 310 for carrying clothes can swing forward and backward in the first direction, i.e., the front-back direction, and the angle between it and the main bearing frame 100 is adjustable. It can slide left and right in the second direction, i.e., the left-right direction, so that its position relative to the main bearing frame 100 is changeable. It can be adjusted left and right, front and back, and at different angles, so that it can be matched with the clothes to be dried, and corresponding adjustment and drying can be performed for different types of clothes, so as to achieve the wind blowing effect of drying, good drying effect, and fast speed. In addition, the support frame 200 is configured to be foldable relative to the main supporting frame body 100. When not in use, the support frame 200 can be folded relative to the main supporting frame body for storage, which occupies little space and is convenient for users to store.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the sliding element 500 is connected to the main carrier body 100 to divide the main carrier body 100 into a first drying area 110 close to the support frame 200 and a second drying area 120 away from the support frame 200; The first drying zone 110 and the second drying zone 120 are arranged in parallel.

[0060] The tiling positions include: a first tiling position and a second tiling position; When the plurality of swing components 310 are in the first flat position, they are located in the first drying area 110; That is, when the swing component 310 swings along the sliding element 500 , it can swing toward the rear side close to the support frame 200 or toward the front side away from the support frame 200 .

[0061] When the swinging member 310 swings backward, it is located in the inner area of ​​the first drying zone 110 . At this time, the clothes are on the swinging member 310 and are dried in the first drying zone 110 .

[0062] Correspondingly, when the swing component 310 swings toward the front side, it will be in the second drying area 120 . At this time, the clothes can be dried in the second drying area 120 .

[0063] When the plurality of swing components 310 are in the second flat position, they are located in the second drying zone 120 or partially located in the second drying zone 120 and partially extending out from the second drying zone 120 along the first direction.

[0064] Since the second drying area 120 is far away from the support frame 200, that is, far away from the connection position with the clothes dryer, and is entirely located inside the drum of the clothes dryer, the swing component 310 will not be limited by the front support component on the clothes dryer, and when it is set, it can be completely located inside the second drying area 120; Alternatively, part of it is located inside the second drying zone 120, and part of it extends from the second drying zone 120 toward the front side along the front-to-back direction.

[0065] When the swing components 310 are in the flat position, the plurality of swing components 310 can be deployed in a variety of different ways: One unfolding method is: all swing components 310 swing into the first drying zone 110, and the clothes are placed on the swing components 310 in the first drying zone 110; Or all the swing components 310 are in the second drying zone 120, and the clothes are placed on the swing components 310 in the first drying zone 110; Alternatively, some of the plurality of swing components 310 are located in the first drying zone 110 , and some of the plurality of swing components 310 are located in the second drying zone 120 .

[0066] Part of the clothes are in the first drying area 110, and part of the clothes are in the second drying area 120, so that a large-area spreading effect can be achieved, which has a better drying effect on the clothes.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the sliding element 500 is configured such that the distance from the sliding element 500 to the first main body bearing component 130 is greater than the length of the swing component 310 , and the distance from the sliding element 500 to the second main body bearing component is greater than the length of the swing component 310 .

[0068] In this way, no matter the swing component 310 is in the first flat position or the second flat position, it is located in the inner area of ​​the first drying zone 110 or the second drying zone 120. To prevent the swing component 310 from rotating and falling and being unable to remain in the flat position, a corresponding limit assembly is provided on the main carrier body 100, and the limit assembly is used to limit the swing component 310 in the first flat position or the second flat position.

[0069] The main carrier body 100 includes a limiting assembly, which includes a first limiting component 610 and a second limiting component 620, which are arranged on both sides of the sliding element 500 and are used to limit the swinging component 310 at the first flat position and the second flat position respectively.

[0070] The first limiting component 610 is a first limiting rod, which is extended along the left-right direction, and its two ends are respectively connected to the main supporting frame 100 .

[0071] The second limiting component 620 is a second limiting rod, which is symmetrically arranged at two sides of the sliding element 500 with the first limiting rod.

[0072] The sliding element 500 can be arranged at the middle position of the main supporting frame body 100 accordingly.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the sliding element 500 is configured such that the distance from the sliding element 500 to the first main body bearing member 130 is greater than the length of the swing component 310, and the distance from the sliding element 500 to the second main body bearing member is less than the length of the swing component 310; The limiting assembly is composed of a second main body bearing component and a limiting stopper arranged on the side of the sliding element 500 close to the first main body bearing component 130 .

[0074] The swing component 310 located at the first flat position is limited by the limit stop component, and the swing component 310 located at the second flat position is limited by the second main body bearing component 140.

[0075] During the arrangement, the sliding element 500 is arranged close to the second main body carrier 140 , so that the distance between the sliding element 500 and the second main body carrier 140 is smaller than the distance between the sliding element 500 and the first main body carrier 130 .

[0076] When the swing component 310 swings to the first flat position, the swing component 310 will not extend out of the main supporting frame 100 because its length is smaller than the distance between the sliding element 500 and the first main supporting member 130 .

[0077] When the swing component 310 reaches the second flat position, since its length is greater than the distance from the sliding element 500 to the second main body bearing component, it will extend out of the main bearing frame 100 and extend outward to be flat, so as to achieve the effect of laying out clothes over a large area for drying.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the supporting and positioning component 400 is provided at at least one side of the sliding element 500 .

[0079] The supporting and positioning component 400 is mainly used to support and position the swing component 310. When it is set, it can be set only in the first drying area 110 where the sliding element 500 is close to the first main body bearing member 130. When the swing component 310 swings to the side of the first drying area 110, it is supported by the supporting and positioning component 400 so that it is arranged in an inclined manner. When the swing member 310 swings into the second drying area 120, it can only be located at the second flat position.

[0080] In some embodiments, the sliding element 500 is arranged on the second drying zone 120 side close to the second main body supporting component. When the swing component 310 swings to the second drying zone 120 side, it is supported by the supporting positioning component 400 to be arranged tilted. When the swing component 310 swings into the first drying zone 110, it can only be in the first flat position.

[0081] In some embodiments, support and positioning components 400 are provided on both sides of the sliding element 500, so that the swing components 310 on the first drying zone 110 side and the second drying zone 120 side can be in a tilted arrangement state.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to realize the conversion of the supporting and positioning component 400 between the first position and the second position, the supporting and positioning component 400 is detachably assembled on the main supporting frame body 100 .

[0083] In the first position, the supporting and positioning component 400 is assembled on the main bearing frame 100 to support the swing component 310; In the second position, the supporting and positioning component 400 is separated from the swing component 310 , that is, the supporting and positioning component 400 is removed from the main supporting frame body 100 .

[0084] A plurality of supporting and positioning portions 410 are formed on the upper portion thereof, and at least some of the plurality of supporting and positioning portions 410 have different heights; The supporting and positioning portion 410 is a supporting and positioning recessed portion, which is a groove. The groove may be square, triangular, circular or polygonal, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0085] The swing component 310 can be supported and positioned by a plurality of supporting and positioning parts 410 to prevent it from sliding left and right.

[0086] The swing component 310 slides relative to the main supporting frame 100 and is mounted on the supporting positioning parts 410 at different heights to change the angle between the swing component 310 and the main supporting frame 100 .

[0087] The swing component 310 can adjust the included angle at its swing position by being mounted on supporting positioning parts 410 at different heights.

[0088] In specific configuration, all the supporting and positioning parts 410 can be set at different heights, and the swing component 310 can be carried at different supporting and positioning parts 410 when mounted to achieve tilt angle adjustment; It is also possible to set some of the supporting and positioning parts 410 to the same height and others to different heights to meet different loading and use requirements.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the support frame 200 includes: Two support frames 210 are provided and arranged on both sides of the main bearing frame 100. Each support frame 210 can slide and rotate relative to the main bearing frame 100. The support frame 210 has a locking position and an unlocking position, and is switched between the locking position and the unlocking position by sliding relative to the main support frame body 100; When the support frame 210 is in the locked position, its rotation and the direction of movement away from the sliding element 500 are limited; When the support frame 200 is out of the unlocking position, it can slide and rotate relative to the main support frame 100 .

[0090] The support frame 210 and the main bearing frame body 100 are connected together via a connecting ring 230 . The connecting ring 230 is fixed on the main bearing frame body 100 , and the end surface of the connecting ring 230 is arranged perpendicular to the sliding direction of the support frame 210 .

[0091] The supporting frame 210 includes a transversely arranged connecting arm which passes through the connecting ring 230 and can slide relative to the connecting ring 230 .

[0092] A clamping part 220 is provided on the support frame 210, and the clamping part 220 can cooperate with the main bearing frame body 100. The clamping part 220 includes a main body and two clamping limit walls on both sides thereof. When the clamping part 220 moves to the connecting ring 230, the main body abuts against the end face of the connecting ring 230 to limit the moving direction of the support frame 210 toward the sliding element 500 side, and the two clamping limit walls respectively abut against the bottom of the first main bearing member 130 to limit the rotation of the support frame 210.

[0093] The clamping member 220 is a U-shaped clamping member 220, which slides synchronously with the support frame 210. When the support frame 210 slides to the position of the connecting ring 230, the two sides of the U-shaped clamping member 220 are respectively pressed against the first main body carrier 130 and are limited to the left and right. At the same time, the direction of sliding away from the sliding element 500, that is, the movement to the left, is also limited.

[0094] At this time, the support frame 210 can be supported and fixed on the end of the main supporting frame body 100 to support it.

[0095] When folding and storage are required, the support frame 210 is slid toward the side close to the sliding element 500, so that the clamping member 220 and the main supporting frame body 100 are separated, and the limitation of the clamping member 220 and the support frame 210 by the main supporting frame body 100 is eliminated. At this time, the support frame 210 can be rotated relative to the main supporting frame body 100 for folding and storage.

[0096] The matching structure of the entire support frame 200 and the main bearing frame body 100 is simple, convenient for storage and support use, and low in cost. Example

[0097] This embodiment provides a drying support structure for a clothes dryer, including: The main bearing frame 100 plays a major role in bearing and supporting.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present application, the main support frame 100 includes: A first main body bearing member 130, a second main body bearing member 140 disposed opposite to the first main body bearing member 130; and side connecting bearing members respectively used to connect the first main body bearing member 130 and the second main body bearing member 140 at both ends.

[0099] The first main body bearing member 130 , the second main body bearing member 140 and the side connecting bearing member are connected to form a square-like bearing frame.

[0100] The first main body bearing member 130, the second main body bearing member 140 and the side connecting bearing frame can use bearing rods, and the material thereof can be stainless steel, which has a certain structural supporting strength to ensure supporting performance.

[0101] A support frame 200 is arranged at one end of the main bearing frame body 100 and is foldable relative to the main bearing frame body 100; The support frame 200 is used to support the main bearing frame body 100, and is arranged vertically to the main bearing frame body 100 to ensure support; The support frame 200 is also used to assemble the entire clothes dryer drying rack into the clothes dryer to achieve the connection between the entire drying rack and the clothes dryer.

[0102] It is foldable relative to the main supporting frame 100. When in use, it can be opened relative to the main supporting frame 100 to support and connect the main supporting frame 100 to the dryer, so that it can be placed in the dryer for drying clothes; after it is folded relative to the main supporting frame 100, it can be folded and stored.

[0103] By setting the support frame 200 structure, the entire drying rack can be folded and stored as a whole when not in use, thereby reducing the occupied space.

[0104] The swing unit 300 comprises: A plurality of swing components 310 are provided, and the swing components 310 are slidable relative to the main supporting frame body 100 , and the swing components 310 slide relative to the main supporting frame body 100 to at least change the distance between the swing components 310 and the adjacent swing components 310 .

[0105] In some embodiments of the present application, the swing component 310 is a swing rod, which is slidably connected to the main supporting frame 100, and each swing component 310 can slide relative to the main supporting frame 100 to enable it to change its position.

[0106] When in use, the spacing between adjacent swing components 310 can be changed by sliding the swing components 310; The spacing between adjacent swing components 310 can be adjusted to accommodate different clothing needs.

[0107] For example, when small items such as socks or underwear need to be dried, which are relatively small in size, in order to carry the clothes and prevent them from falling, the spacing between the swinging parts 310 needs to be relatively small; If there is no need to place larger items such as blankets for drying, the distance between the swing parts 310 can be increased.

[0108] Of course, multiple swing components 310 may also be used to carry the load, so that the multiple swing components 310 are spaced at different intervals to meet all loading requirements.

[0109] By sliding the swing component 310, the distance between the plurality of swing components 310 can be adjusted to meet the needs of carrying and using different items, making it more convenient and flexible for users to carry clothes.

[0110] The swing component 310 is rotatable relative to the main carrier body 100, and has a swing position and a flat position, and can be switched between the swing position and the flat position by rotating relative to the main carrier body 100; By rotating the swing component 310, it can be rotated to different positions relative to the main carrier body 100, such as being rotated to a swing position, or being rotated to a flat position, so that different specific positions of the swing component 310 can correspond to different scenes for drying clothes.

[0111] To achieve sliding connection and rotational connection between the swing component 310 and the main bearing frame 100 , in some embodiments of the present application, a sliding element 500 is connected to the main bearing frame 100 , and the sliding element 500 is connected to two oppositely disposed side connecting bearing members.

[0112] For the convenience of description, in this embodiment, the length of the side connecting bearing member is set as the first direction, which corresponds to the front-to-back direction when the clothes drying rack is assembled in the dryer.

[0113] The length direction of the vertical side connection bearing member is the second direction, that is, the left-right direction corresponding to the clothes drying rack when it is assembled in the clothes dryer.

[0114] The sliding element 500 is extended along the second direction to guide the swing component 310 in sliding manner.

[0115] The sliding element 500 is a sliding rod.

[0116] A connecting ring 230 is provided at the end of the swing component 310. The inner diameter of the connecting ring 230 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the sliding rod. The connecting ring 230 is sleeved on the sliding rod, can slide along the sliding rod, and can rotate circumferentially around the axis of the sliding rod.

[0117] A support and positioning member 400 having a first position and a second position; When the supporting and positioning component 400 is in the first position, it supports and positions the swing component 310 in the swing position, and makes the swing component 310 and the main supporting frame body 100 arranged at an angle, and the size of the angle is adjustable.

[0118] When the supporting positioning component 400 is in the second position, it is disengaged from the swing component 310 so that the swing component 310 can rotate to a flat position. When the swing component 310 rotates to the flat position, it is limited by the main supporting frame body 100 and is coplanar with the main supporting frame body 100.

[0119] When the supporting and positioning component 400 is in the first position, it can be used to support and position the swing component 310 .

[0120] Since the swing component 310 is rotatable, it can be supported and positioned by the supporting and positioning component 400 at a certain height to ensure that it is set at an angle with the main supporting frame 100, so that there is a distance between the swing component 310 and the main supporting frame 100. The entire swing component 310 is in a three-dimensional state, and air can pass through its bottom layer, top layer and surrounding area, so that the air can flow through the clothes on the swing component 310 from various angles, and three-dimensional drying can be achieved at different positions of front, back, left and right, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0121] In the drying room, for clothes that are not easy to dry and are small in size, such as underwear and shoes, the swing component 310 can be swung to the swing position for drying, so as to achieve a quick drying effect; Of course, in order to achieve matching of the load of clothes, some of the multiple swing components 310 can be swung to the swing position, or all of them can be swung to the swing position, and the specific selection can be made according to the actual size of the clothes to be dried.

[0122] When large pieces of clothing need to be dried, the support and positioning component 400 can be adjusted to the second position. In the second position, it is disengaged from the swing component 310, that is, it does not support and position the swing component 310 and does not interfere with the swing component 310 to the flat position.

[0123] When the supporting and positioning member 400 is in the second position, the swinging member 310 can be rotated to a flat position with the main supporting frame body 100, so as to dry the clothes in a flat manner.

[0124] The supporting and positioning component 400 is a supporting and positioning frame, which is hinged on the main bearing frame body 100, and a plurality of supporting and positioning portions 410 are formed on the upper portion thereof, and the plurality of supporting and positioning portions 410 have the same height; The supporting and positioning component 400 can change the angle between the swing component 310 and the main bearing frame 100 by changing its rotation opening angle relative to the main bearing frame 100; The supporting and positioning frame includes a main supporting rod and connecting legs arranged on both sides of the main supporting rod. The two connecting legs are correspondingly hinged on the main supporting frame and can rotate relative to the main supporting frame body 100 to be located at different positions.

[0125] When the support and positioning frame is rotated and opened at different angles relative to the main bearing frame, the supporting and bearing angles of the swing component 310 are also different.

[0126] The tilt angle of the swing component 310 can be adjusted by controlling the rotation opening angle of the support positioning frame, so that the swing component 310 can present different angles to adapt to the user's needs for drying clothes at different angles.

[0127] In order to support the supporting and positioning frame, in some embodiments, a hinged support rod is also provided to support the supporting and positioning frame when it is unfolded to the first position. A supporting groove is provided at the end of the hinged support rod, which is supported at the connecting leg of the supporting and positioning frame to prevent the supporting and positioning frame from tipping over.

[0128] Alternatively, the plurality of supporting and positioning portions 410 of the supporting and positioning frame are arranged to have at least some different heights; The swing component 310 slides relative to the main supporting frame 100 and is mounted on the supporting positioning parts 410 at different heights to change the angle between the swing component 310 and the main supporting frame 100 .

[0129] The swing component 310 can be slid and mounted on the supporting positioning parts 410 at different heights to adjust its tilt angle, and can also achieve placement effects at different angles.

[0130] When the swing component 310 needs to be supported, the support and positioning frame is rotated and opened to the first position as a whole, so that it supports and positions part or all of the swing component 310; When there is no need to support the swing component 310, the support positioning frame can be rotated to make it fit the main supporting frame body 100, so as not to interfere with the swing component 310 from swinging to the flat position.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present application, the supporting and positioning component 400 is a supporting and positioning rod, which is hinged on the main bearing frame 100 and is provided with a plurality of supporting and positioning rods, the number of which is less than or equal to the number of swing components 310, so that it can at least support and position part of the swing components 310; That is, when setting, the supporting and positioning component 400 can be set in the form of multiple supporting and positioning rods, the number of which can be less than the number of swinging components 310, so that it can support part of the swinging components 310. In this way, when in use, part of the swinging components 310 can be in a flat position, and part of the swinging components 310 can be used in a swinging position to meet the needs of different drying methods for different clothes.

[0132] Of course, it can also be arranged that the number of positioning support components and the swing component 310 correspond one to one, so that they can support the swing component 310 accordingly.

[0133] The supporting and positioning component 400 is hinged on the main supporting frame body 100 , and can be rotated relative to the main supporting frame body 100 to open the support for the swinging component 310 or rotated to a position close to the main supporting frame body 100 to stop supporting the swinging component 310 .

[0134] A positioning groove or a positioning convex structure is correspondingly provided at the end of the supporting positioning component 400 to support and fix the swing component 310 .

[0135] In some embodiments, a plurality of supporting positioning rods are provided, which are hinged to the swing component 310, and a clamping portion that cooperates with the main supporting frame 100 is provided at the end thereof. The number of the supporting positioning rods is less than or equal to the number of the swing components 310, so that they can at least support and position some of the swing components 310.

[0136] The support and positioning rod can be directly hinged on the swing component 310 , and the clamping portion at the end thereof can be clamped on the main supporting frame 100 to achieve the support and positioning function for the swing component 310 .

[0137] Since the supporting positioning rod is hinged on the swing component 310, the angle between it and the swing component 310 can also be adjusted. By adjusting the angle between it and the swing component 310, the angle between the swing component 310 and the main supporting frame body 100 can be changed, so that the swing component 310 can present different inclination angles to dry clothes.

[0138] A hanging portion may be provided at the end of the swinging member 310, and a hanging device may be provided at the hanging portion. The hanging device may be a closed-loop hook structure for hanging various clothes, or a clothes drying rod with structures of different shapes, etc.; The hanging part can also be arranged on a rotating head structure at the end of the swing component.

[0139] The structure of the hanging device is not limited to the above, as long as it can ultimately meet the drying needs of various underwear, shoes, and small pieces of clothing, with large quantity, good drying effect, uniform drying, fast speed, and a flat effect of drying wind. Example

[0140] In this embodiment, a clothes dryer is provided. The clothes dryer includes a front support component and the clothes dryer drying bracket described in the first embodiment. An insertion portion is provided on the front support component, and the support frame 200 is inserted into the insertion portion.

[0141] The insertion portion is an insertion opening formed on the front support component, which is matched with the contour of the support frame 200 so that the support frame 200 can be just inserted into the insertion opening for fixation.

[0142] The clothes dryer includes a drum and a front supporting member arranged at the front side of the drum to support the front end of the drum.

[0143] The fan is arranged at the rear side of the drum and is used to send airflow into the interior of the drum. The airflow entering the drum moves along the axis direction of the drum.

[0144] When the support frame 200 is assembled on the front support component, the entire drying support of the clothes dryer is located inside the drum, and the swing component 310 is extended and arranged along the flow direction of the airflow.

[0145] In this way, when the fan drives the airflow to flow inside the drum, the airflow can fully and completely flow through the clothes placed on the swinging component 310 to achieve full contact with the clothes and achieve a better drying effect.

[0146] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for a person skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
