[0031] In addition, if the terms "first" or "second" appear, these terms are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, if the term "plurality" appears, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0035] Drying machines can usually be divided into folding and wardrobe types. The folding type is characterized by easy storage and adaptability to a variety of scenarios, but its drying capacity is usually limited. For this reason, folding dryer machines are usually designed with a double-folding rotating structure to increase the amount of dry clothes. The double-folding dryer has two air ducts with positive and reverse wind directions. There is a heating element in each air duct, and the heating elements on both sides need to be electrically connected. The two air ducts are installed in the left and right shells respectively. Therefore, the wires of the heating element need to pass through the two shells.
[0036] When one shell rotates relative to the other, the wire inside the shell will be stretched or contracted, but in this process, problems such as wire clamping, wire hanging, wire cutting or wire stretching may occur. For example, when the two shells rotate and unfold, the wiring path between the heating elements is shortened, causing the wire to shrink and become loose, which makes it easy for the wire to be clamped, hung or cut with the surrounding structure; when the two shells rotate and overlap, the wiring path between the heating elements increases, causing the wire to be stretched and in a taut state, which makes it easy for the wire to break and other problems.
[0037] Based on this, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a clothes dryer host 100, which includes: a first shell 1a, a second shell 1b, a heating element 90 and an electrical connector 30. The second shell 1b is rotatably connected to the second shell 1b, and the heating element 90 is respectively arranged in the first shell 1a and the second shell 1b. Among them, the clothes dryer host 100 also includes an electrical connector 30, and the electrical connector 30 includes a telescopic portion 31 and a first connecting portion 32 and a second connecting portion 33 respectively connected to the two ends of the telescopic portion 31. The telescopic portion 31 is arranged in the first shell 1a and can be elastically extended and retracted between the first connecting portion 32 and the second connecting portion 33. The first connecting portion 32 is respectively inserted into and fixed in the second shell 1b, and the second connecting portion 33 is fixed in the first shell 1a. The first connecting portion 32 and the second connecting portion 33 are respectively electrically connected to the two heating elements 90.
[0038] The above-mentioned clothes dryer host 100 connects the heating element 90 in the first shell 1a and the second shell 1b through the electrical connector 30, so that the two heating elements 90 are effectively electrically connected. Since the electrical connector 30 includes a telescopic portion 31 and a first connecting portion 32 and a second connecting portion 33 provided at both ends of the telescopic portion 31, and the first connecting portion 32 is fixed in the second shell 1b, and the second connecting portion 33 is fixed in the first shell 1a. In this way, when the first shell 1a rotates, unfolds or overlaps relative to the second shell 1b, the second connecting portion 33 rotates with the first shell 1a, and the first connecting portion 32 and the second shell 1b remain stationary. At this time, the second connecting portion 33 moves relative to the first connecting portion 32. In addition, since the telescopic portion 31 can be telescopic between the first connecting portion 32 and the second connecting portion 33, the telescopic performance of the telescopic portion 31 itself can effectively improve the problems of the electrical connector 30 being clamped, hung, cut or stretched when the clothes dryer host 100 rotates, unfolds or overlaps, thereby ensuring the normal use of the clothes dryer.
[0039] It should be noted that the telescopic portion 31 can be elastically retracted between the first connection portion 32 and the second connection portion 33. When the first shell 1a rotates and overlaps with the second shell 1b, the second connection portion 33 rotates with the first shell 1a, while the first connection portion 32 and the second shell 1b remain stationary. At this time, the second connection portion 33 and the first connection portion 32 move relative to each other. As the first shell 1a and the second shell 1b are completely overlapped, the spacing between the first connection portion 32 and the second connection portion 33 increases, so that the telescopic portion 31 is stretched. Since the telescopic portion 31 has a telescopic performance, the risk of being broken can be effectively avoided. When the first shell 1a rotates and unfolds relative to the second shell 1b, the second connection portion 33 also moves relative to the first connection portion 32. As the first shell 1a and the second shell 1b are fully unfolded, the spacing between the first connection portion 32 and the second connection portion 33 is reduced, so that the telescopic portion 31 retracts elastically, avoiding the telescopic portion 31 being in a relaxed state due to contraction, and effectively improving the problems of clamping, hanging, and cutting with the surrounding structure when rotating and unfolding.
[0040] The telescopic portion 31 elastically expands and contracts between the first connection portion 32 and the second connection portion 33 , and there are many ways to implement it, for example, the telescopic portion 31 is designed as a spiral structure; or the telescopic portion 31 is designed as a wavy structure.
[0041] It should also be noted that the first shell 1a is rotatably connected to the second shell 1b, so that the first shell 1a can be rotated, overlapped or unfolded from the second shell 1b. When the first shell 1a and the second shell 1b are rotated and overlapped, it is convenient to store the clothes dryer 100; when the first shell 1a and the second shell 1b are rotated and unfolded, it is convenient for the clothes dryer 100 to transport heat outward for drying operations. There are many ways to connect the first shell 1a and the second shell 1b, as long as they can satisfy the rotational overlap or unfolding of the first shell 1a and the second shell 1b.
[0042] For specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first housing 1a may include a first housing body 10 and a first shaft housing 11 disposed on the first housing body 10, and the second housing 1b includes a second housing body 20 and a second shaft housing 21 disposed on the second housing body 20. One end of the first shaft housing 11 is rotatably matched with one end of the second shaft housing 21, such as: one end of the first shaft housing 11 is rotatably sleeved outside one end of the second shaft housing 21. In this way, the first housing body 10 and the second housing body 20 can be overlapped or unfolded by rotating the first shaft housing 11 and the second shaft housing 21.
[0043] Optionally, the first connection part 32 can be connected in the second housing 1b in a variety of ways, such as but not limited to bolt connection, clamping, binding, etc. At the same time, the second connection part 33 can be connected in the first housing 1a in a variety of ways, such as but not limited to bolt connection, clamping, binding, etc.
[0044] In addition, in order to make the telescopic part 31 more elastically retractable when the clothes dryer main body 100 is rotated and unfolded, the telescopic part 31 is in a stretched state when the clothes dryer main body 100 is in a folded state, and is in an initial state when the clothes dryer main body 100 is in an unfolded state.
[0045] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The telescopic portion 31 includes a spiral portion 3a, which spirally extends around its first axis 34, and the first connecting portion 32 and the second connecting portion 33 are respectively connected to the two ends of the spiral portion 3a. It can be seen that the telescopic portion 31 is designed as the spiral portion 3a, so that when the clothes dryer 100 is rotated, folded or unfolded, the spiral portion 3a can be elastically extended and retracted, effectively matching the rotation between the first shell 1a and the second shell 1b, ensuring that the structure of the electrical connector 30 of the clothes dryer 100 is more stable, avoiding problems such as wire clamping, wire hanging, wire cutting or wire stretching, and improving the use stability of the clothes dryer 100.
[0046] It should be noted that when the first shell 1a rotates and overlaps with the second shell 1b, the first shell 1a drives the second connection part 33 to move, stretching the spiral part 3a to stretch it, thereby avoiding the risk of breaking. When the first shell 1a rotates and unfolds relative to the second shell 1b, the first shell 1a drives the second connection part 33 to move, squeezing the spiral part 3a to elastically retract it and restore it to its initial state, thereby avoiding the spiral part 3a from becoming loose when rotating and overlapping, thereby avoiding the problem of clamping, hanging or cutting the wire with the surrounding structure.
[0047] The number of the spiral portion 3a can be one or more. When there are more than one spiral portion 3a, all the spiral portions 3a can be connected in sequence, and the first connecting portion 32 is connected to the spiral portion 3a at one end, and the second connecting portion 33 is connected to the spiral portion 3a at the other end.
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The clothes dryer 100 further includes a constraint member 35, which is disposed in the first housing 1a and is used to constrain the extension path of the spiral portion 3a. It can be seen that the introduction of the constraint member 35 allows the spiral portion 3a to elastically extend and retract along a specified path, regulates its extension path, and prevents the spiral portion 3a from deviating and affecting the rotation of the clothes dryer 100.
[0049] It should be noted that the restraining member 35 refers to a structure that can guide the extension and contraction of the spiral portion 3a, so that the extension and contraction path of the spiral portion 3a is carried out on a predetermined track. The restraining member 35 can be designed as a pipe structure, which is sleeved on the outside of the spiral portion 3a; it can also be designed as a rod-shaped structure, which is inserted into the inside of the spiral portion 3a, etc.
[0050] Meanwhile, there are many ways to fix the restraining component 35 in the first housing 1a, such as but not limited to bolt connection, clamping, binding, bonding, etc. In addition, when the first housing 1a includes a first housing body 10 and a first shaft housing 11 disposed on the first housing body 10, the restraining component 35 can be disposed on the first housing body 10 or on the first shaft housing 11.
[0051] For further information, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6, the spiral portion 3a spirally extends around its own first axis 34, and forms a constraint channel 311 extending along the first axis 34 inside itself, and the constraint component 35 is inserted into the constraint channel 311. It can be seen that the spiral portion 3a spirals around the first axis 34 and forms a constraint channel 311 inside it. At this time, the constraint component 35 is inserted into the constraint channel 311, so that the spiral portion 3a is sleeved on the constraint component 35. When the first shell 1a is rotated, overlapped or unfolded relative to the second shell 1b, the spiral portion 3a elastically stretches or contracts on the constraint component 35, so that the spiral portion 3a is telescoped along the constraint component 35, ensuring that the telescopic path of the spiral portion 3a remains stable, avoiding deviation and causing unstable rotation of the dryer main unit 100.
[0052] It should be noted that the size of the constraint channel 311 can match the size of the constraint component 35. For example, when the constraint channel 311 is a cylindrical channel, the inner diameter of the constraint channel 311 can be equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the constraint component 35. This can reduce the gap between the constraint channel 311 and the constraint component 35, so that the spiral portion 3a can fit on the outer surface of the constraint component 35 for elastic expansion and contraction, which is beneficial to improving the stability of rotation.
[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The restraining member 35 is configured to extend around the periphery of the first axis 34, and when the clothes dryer 100 is in the unfolded state, the two ends of the restraining member 35 extend out of the two ends of the spiral portion 3a. It can be seen that the restraining member 35 is configured to extend around the periphery of the first axis 34, so that the spiral portion 3a can also be extended around the periphery of the first axis 34, which is conducive to more stable rotation of the clothes dryer 100.
[0054] It should be noted that, since the spiral portion 3a will be stretched when the clothes dryer main unit 100 rotates and overlaps, in order to ensure that the stretched spiral portion 3a can also be sleeved on the constraint component 35, the length of the constraint component 35 around the outer circumference of the first axis 34 can be increased as much as possible, for example: the constraint component 35 extends in a circular manner around the outer circumference of the first axis 34 in the first shell 1a, and the corresponding central angle can be greater than 180°, 270°, etc.; or, the constraint component 35 extends in a circular manner around the outer circumference of the first axis 34 in the first shell 1a by 360°. At the same time, when the constraint component 35 is an arc structure, in order to make the spiral portion 3a better sleeved on the constraint component 35, the bending radius of the spiral portion 3a around the first axis 34 should be greater than the radius of the constraint component 35.
[0055] In addition, when the clothes dryer main unit 100 is in the unfolded state, the first shell 1a rotates open relative to the second shell 1b. At this time, the two ends of the restraining component 35 extend beyond the two ends of the spiral portion 3a respectively. In this way, when the spiral portion 3a is elongated, it can be better stretched along the surface of the restraining component 35, thereby improving the rotation stability of the clothes dryer main unit 100.
[0056] For further information, please refer to Figure 8 The clothes dryer host 100 also includes a fastener 40, on which a slot 41 is provided. The slot 41 is used to snap into the restraining component 35, and the fastener 40 is snapped onto the inner wall of the first shell 1a. In this way, the restraining component 35 is stabilized in the first shell 1a by the fastener 40, ensuring that the spiral portion 3a is stably retracted. At the same time, the fastener 40 also facilitates the installation and fixation of the restraining component 35, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the clothes dryer host 100. In addition, the fastener 40 is provided with a slot 41, which facilitates the stable combination of the restraining component 35 and the fastener 40, and avoids the restraining component 35 from deviating from the fastener 40, resulting in structural instability.
[0057] It should be noted that the shape of the card slot 41 can be consistent with the outer surface of the constraint component 35, so that the slot wall of the card slot 41 can stably fit the outer surface of the constraint component 35, further improving the stability of the installation of the constraint component 35.
[0058] At the same time, there are many ways to clip the fastener 40 on the inner wall of the first shell 1a, for example: a groove or hole structure is provided on the fastener 40, and a protrusion structure matching the groove or hole structure is provided on the inner wall of the first shell 1a; or, a protrusion structure is provided on the fastener 40, and a groove or hole structure matching the protrusion structure is provided on the inner wall of the first shell 1a.
[0059] For specific embodiments, please refer to Fig. 9 The clip 40 includes a main body 42 and a clip part 43 disposed on the main body 42, a clip hole 44 is formed between the clip part 43 and the main body 42, and a fixing column 111 is disposed on the inner wall of the first housing 1a, and the fixing column 111 is clipped into the clip hole 44. At the same time, the number of the clip part 43 can be one or more, for example: the clip part 43 and the fixing column 111 are two, and the two clip parts 43 are disposed on both sides of the main body 42, and the clip hole 44 is formed between the main body 42. The fixing column 111 is clipped into the clip hole 44 one by one.
[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8The fasteners 40 include multiple fasteners 40, at least two of which are located on both sides of the spiral portion 3a, and are used to fasten the constraint component 35 to the inner wall of the first housing 1a. In this design, the constraint component 35 is more stably installed on the inner wall of the first housing 1a through multiple fasteners 40. At the same time, at least two fasteners 40 are arranged on both sides of the spiral portion 3a, so that the fixing of the fasteners 40 avoids interference with the expansion and contraction of the spiral portion 3a, ensuring that the rotation of the clothes dryer 100 is more stable.
[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.10 The clothes dryer 100 further includes a limiting component 50 and a fixing seat 51, wherein the fixing seat 51 is disposed in the first housing 1a, and the limiting component 50 is used to fix the second connecting portion 33 on the fixing seat 51. Thus, the second connecting portion 33 is stably fixed in the first housing 1a by the cooperation between the limiting component 50 and the fixing seat 51.
[0062] It should be noted that when the first housing 1 a includes the first housing body 10 and the first shaft housing 11 disposed in the first housing body 10 , the fixing seat 51 can be disposed in the first housing body 10 or the first shaft housing 11 .
[0063] There are many ways to fix the fixing seat 51 in the first housing 1a, such as but not limited to bolt connection, clamping, riveting, welding, bonding, etc.; or, the fixing seat 51 and the first housing 1a are an integrated structure. At the same time, the connection between the limiting component 50 and the fixing seat 51 can also be but not limited to bolt connection, clamping, riveting, welding, bonding, etc.
