[0035] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a duct structure, including a shell 1 and a partition structure 2. An air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 are provided on the shell 1. The partition structure 2 is arranged inside the shell 1, and the partition structure 2 is arranged along the extension direction of the shell 1. The partition structure 2 is arranged near the air outlet 12. A first area is formed between the partition structure 2 and the shell 1 on the side away from the air outlet 12, and a second area is formed between the partition structure 2 and the shell 1 on the side close to the air outlet 12. The partition structure 2 divides the flow channel inside the shell 1 into a first area and a second area. After the airflow enters the shell 1 from the air inlet 11, the airflow entering the first area is greater than the airflow in the second area. The pressure of the first area is greater than the pressure of the second area, so that the airflow flows from the high pressure area to the low pressure area, thereby ensuring that the airflow inside the shell 1 moves in the same direction, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of vortex inside the shell 1 and ensuring the stability of the airflow at the air outlet 12.

[0040] It should be noted that, according to the Bernoulli principle, a fast flow rate leads to low pressure and a slow flow rate leads to high pressure and a high pressure. In this embodiment, the airflow enters the housing 1 from the air inlet 11, and the space in the first area is larger than the space in the second area, so the airflow speed entering the first area slows down. Since the pressure in the first area is greater than the pressure in the second area, the airflow in the first area moves toward the second area.

[0041] It should be noted that this device is used in an intelligent clothes drying machine, which can dry clothes while hanging them. The intelligent clothes drying machine can also be equipped with integrated lighting, ultraviolet sterilization, negative oxygen ion generator, timed air drying and other functions.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, further, the air inlet 11 is arranged at one end of the housing 1, and the air outlet 12 is arranged on the side wall of the housing 1, wherein the air outlet 12 is arranged along the extension direction of the housing 1. In this embodiment, the air inlet 11 is connected to the air supply system. The air outlet 12 is long and strip-shaped, and the air outlet 12 can also be irregularly shaped, or designed according to the shape of the housing 1.

[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, a curved surface structure is formed at the other end of the inner wall of the housing 1 away from the air inlet 11, and after the airflow enters from the air inlet 11, it flows along the curved surface toward the air outlet 12. By forming a curved surface structure at the other end of the housing 1, the stability of the airflow inside the housing 1 can be increased.

[0044] It should be noted that the air duct structure is rotatable along the axis of the housing 1. The rotatable air duct structure can make the air outlet 12 rotate with the air duct structure, so that the air outlet direction also changes, meeting the needs of more scenes and increasing the practicality of the device.

[0045] It should be noted that if Figure 2 As shown, the partition structure 2 is a regular elliptical cylinder, which is a cylinder with two identical elliptical bottom surfaces. The edges of the regular ellipse are relatively smooth and will not interfere with the stability of the airflow inside the housing 1. As an alternative embodiment, it can also be replaced with a cylinder.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, further, the air duct structure also includes an air guide component 3, which is arranged between the housing 1 and the partition structure 2, and the air guide component 3 is arranged perpendicular to the extension direction of the housing 1, and the air guide result is suitable for guiding the airflow to the air outlet 12. The air guide component 3 is arranged perpendicular to the extension direction of the housing 1, which is equivalent to the air guide component 3 also being perpendicular to the airflow direction at the air inlet 11. The air guide component 3 will block part of the airflow, and the blocked airflow will move along the direction of the air guide component 3, thereby achieving the guiding effect on the airflow.

[0047] Furthermore, the air guide assembly 3 includes a first air guide plate 31, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are a plurality of first air guide plates 31, and the plurality of first air guide plates 31 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the housing 1. The wind blocking areas of the first air guide plates 31 increase successively along the airflow direction, and each first air guide plate 31 blocks a portion of the airflow, and guides the blocked airflow along the direction of the first air guide plate 31, and finally guides it to the air outlet 12. Because the airflow entering from the air inlet 11 is limited, in order to ensure that the amount of air guided by each first air guide plate 31 is the same, the windshield area of ​​the first air guide plate 31 is increased exponentially along the airflow direction. For example, the windshield area of ​​the first first air guide plate 31 is the first area, the windshield area of ​​the second first air guide plate 31 is twice the first area, the windshield area of ​​the third first air guide plate 31 is three times the first area, and so on. The first air guide plates 31 with uniformly increased windshield areas block the airflow entering from the air inlet 11 in turn, and the airflow blocked between every two adjacent first air guide plates 31 is the same, and the airflow entering the shell 1 from the air inlet 11 can be evenly guided to the air outlet 12, ensuring that the airflow at the air outlet 12 is smooth.

[0048] Furthermore, the air guide assembly 3 further includes a second air guide plate 32, and the second air guide plates 32 are provided in a plurality, and the plurality of second air guide plates 32 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the air outlet 12; the plurality of second air guide plates 32 are arranged corresponding to the air outlet 12, and the plurality of second air guide plates 32 are fixedly arranged at the second air outlet 12, and extend toward the inside of the housing 1. The airflow flows from between the two second air guide plates 32 toward the air outlet 12, and the second air guide plate 32 guides the airflow near the air outlet 12 inside the housing 1 toward the outside of the air outlet 12, and the airflow guided by the second air guide plate 32 has a uniform flow direction toward the outside of the air outlet 12, further increasing the stability of the airflow blowing out of the air outlet 12.

[0049] Furthermore, the air duct structure also includes a wind shield structure 4, which has a plurality of wind shield structures 4, and the plurality of wind shield structures 4 are evenly spaced and arranged at the air outlet 12, and the wind shield structure 4 partially seals the air outlet 12 and divides the air outlet 12 into a plurality of air outlet sections. By arranging the wind shield structure 4 at the air outlet 12, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12 can be reduced, thereby increasing the air flow velocity at the air outlet 12.

[0050] In this embodiment, the wind shield structure 4 is fixedly disposed on the partition structure 2 and extends along the periphery of the partition structure 2 . A portion of the wind shield structure 4 blocks the air outlet 12 , thereby achieving a blocking effect on the air outlet 12 .

[0051] As an alternative implementation, the blocking structure may also be disposed at the air outlet 12 and fixed to the air outlet 12 by bonding or welding, thereby achieving a blocking effect on the air outlet 12 .

[0052] As an alternative implementation, the wind shielding structure 4 may also be composed of two adjacent second wind guide plates 32 , and the space between the two adjacent second wind guide plates 32 is sealed to form the wind shielding structure 4 .

[0053] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
