[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0037] The present invention provides a clothes dryer, aiming to solve the problem of low drying efficiency caused by insufficient utilization of the space of a clothes drying drum 1 of the clothes dryer in the prior art. Figures 1 to 11The clothes dryer comprises: a clothes dryer drum 1, which rotates along its own central axis; a variable volume partition assembly 2, which is arranged in the clothes dryer drum 1, and the variable volume partition assembly 2 is provided with a rotating shaft and at least two partition plates, the partition plates are connected to the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is coaxial with the central axis, and the outer side of the partition plate along the radial direction of the central axis is in contact with the wall of the clothes dryer drum 1, wherein at least one partition plate can rotate around the rotating shaft to change the angle between the two partition plates. The clothes dryer drum 1 is one of the core components of the clothes dryer, and is usually made of metal or high temperature resistant plastic material. The clothes dryer drum 1 is fixed on the drum frame 13 and supported by the drum frame 13 to maintain roundness. The clothes dryer drum 1 rotates along the central axis and is used to place clothes to be dried. There are motors and transmission devices outside the clothes dryer drum 1 to drive the clothes dryer drum 1 to rotate. The variable volume partition assembly 2 is arranged inside the clothes dryer drum 1 and is used to adjust the volume inside the clothes dryer drum 1. The variable volume partition assembly 2 is composed of at least two partition plates, and each partition plate is connected to each other through a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is coaxial with the central axis of the clothes drying drum 1, so that the partition plate can rotate around the rotating shaft. Specifically, one end of each partition plate is connected to the rotating shaft by a hinged or sliding manner. The rotating shaft is located at the central axis of the clothes drying drum 1 and rotates synchronously with the clothes drying drum 1. The rotation of the rotating shaft allows the partition plate to rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby changing the space between the partition plates. The user can control the volume of the space between the partition plates by changing the angle between the partition plates. When the user needs to dry less clothes, the partition plates can be adjusted to a smaller angle, and the drying operation can be performed with a smaller space between the partition plates, which can improve the air exchange efficiency and accelerate the drying process. On the contrary, if a large amount of clothes is dried, the partition plate can be adjusted to a larger angle to provide a larger space for clothes. Through the variable volume partition assembly 2, the dryer can adjust the volume of the drum cavity according to the actual needs of the user, and optimize the efficiency of air circulation and heat and moisture exchange. When a small amount of clothes is dried, the cavity volume is reduced and the air circulation path is reduced, which can significantly improve the drying efficiency of the dryer.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the clothes dryer of the present invention provides a variable volume partition assembly 2 in the clothes dryer drum 1, and at least two partition plates provided on the variable volume partition rotate along the rotating shaft, thereby changing the angle between the partition plates, so as to control the volume between the partition plates. The user can adjust the position of each partition plate as needed to place clothes with different drying requirements in the partition areas of different volumes, thereby making full use of the space of the clothes dryer drum 1, and thus improving the drying efficiency of the clothes dryer.

[0039] In the clothes dryer of the present invention, Figure 6 and 11For example, in the dryer body 81, the drying chamber, the return air outlet, the return air duct 74, the drying and dehumidification module 71, the circulating fan 72, the air outlet duct 75, and the air outlet component 3 together constitute a drying airflow circulation path, and the first drying chamber 11 and the second drying chamber 12 separated by the variable volume partition component 2 are respectively used to perform different clothing drying tasks.

[0040] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The clothes dryer of the present invention further includes an angle positioning assembly 28, which is detachably connected to all the partitions to change the rotational freedom of the partitions along the rotating shaft. The angle positioning assembly 28 is detachably connected to all the partitions, and the angle positioning assembly 28 is used to control the rotational freedom of the partitions, that is, it limits or adjusts the rotation range and angle of the partitions around the rotating shaft. By using the positioning assembly, the user can accurately adjust the angle of the partition, thereby changing the volume of the internal space of the drying drum 1. The angle positioning assembly 28 is detachably connected to the partition, and the user can choose whether to use the angle positioning assembly 28 according to needs, and the angle positioning assembly 28 can be easily removed or replaced when not needed.

[0041] Further, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the angle positioning assembly 28 includes at least one snap column and at least one positioning snap member 283, at least one snap column is arranged on one side of the partition plate along the central axis, at least one positioning snap member 283 is rotatably arranged on a snap column and detachably connected to an adjacent snap column. The so-called snap column plays a supporting and positioning role, so that the positioning snap member 283 can rotate or slide on it. At least one snap column is set on one side of the central axis of the partition plate, which helps to maintain the stability of the partition plate when it rotates. The positioning snap member 283 can be rotatably arranged on the snap column and can be detachably connected to the adjacent snap column. Through this connection method, the snap member can rotate or move freely between the snap columns, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the partition plate. The shape of the snap column can be a columnar or other structure suitable for positioning, and its surface can have a groove or a raised part for matching with the positioning snap member 283.

[0042] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 5The partition plate includes a main partition plate 21 and a variable capacity partition plate 22, and the main partition plate 21 and the variable capacity partition plate 22 are connected to the rotating shaft. The angle positioning assembly 28 also includes a fastener 284. The buckle column includes a main buckle column 281 and an auxiliary buckle column 282. The main buckle column 281 is arranged on one side of the main partition plate 21 along the central axis, and the auxiliary buckle column 282 is arranged on the variable capacity partition plate 22. The auxiliary buckle column 282 is arranged close to the main buckle column 281, wherein the positioning buckle 283 is rotatably arranged on the main buckle column 281, and the positioning buckle 283 is detachably connected to the auxiliary buckle column 282, and the fastener 284 is connected to the auxiliary buckle column 282 to lock the positioning buckle 283. The main partition plate 21 and the variable volume partition plate 22 are connected by a rotating shaft. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft is arranged on the hinge 23 connecting the main partition plate 21 and the variable volume partition plate 22. The main partition plate 21 and the variable volume partition plate 22 divide the drying chamber into a first drying chamber 11 and a second drying chamber 12. The material of the rotating shaft should be selected from high-strength metal or wear-resistant plastic to ensure stability and durability during rotation. With the help of the rotating shaft, the variable volume partition plate 22 can adjust the angle as needed to change the volume of the drying drum 1. By rotating the variable volume partition plate 22, the user can adjust the volume of the drying drum 1 to adapt to different amounts of clothes and drying modes. The buckle column is divided into a main buckle column 281 and a secondary buckle column 282. The main buckle column 281 is installed on the main partition plate 21 and is located on one side of the central axis of the partition plate. The secondary buckle column 282 is installed on the variable volume partition plate 22, close to the main buckle column 281, that is, along the central axis and the same side as the main buckle column 281. The positions of the secondary buckle column 282 and the main buckle column 281 are relatively close to ensure that the positioning buckle 283 can be smoothly connected to the two, thereby reducing the size of the buckle 283. The positioning buckle 283 is rotatably connected to the main buckle column 281. The user can adjust the angle of the partition plate by rotating the positioning buckle 283, thereby adjusting the volume of the dryer 1. The other side of the positioning buckle 283 has a detachable connection device, such as a buckle or a slot, for connecting to the secondary buckle column 282. The user can achieve precise control of the angle of the variable-capacity partition plate 22 through this connection method. Figure 5For example, the fastener 284 is a bolt, nut or other type of locking device, which is fixed on the auxiliary buckle column 282. The positioning buckle 283 is locked by connecting with the auxiliary buckle column 282 to prevent the partition from accidentally moving during use. After the user adjusts the position of the partition, the fastener 284 can fasten the connection between the auxiliary buckle column 282 and the positioning buckle 283 to ensure that the adjusted angle remains unchanged. The fastener 284 is easy to install, disassemble and adjust, and can provide sufficient locking force to ensure stability. In the embodiment of the present invention, through the design of the variable volume partition 22, the user can adjust the volume of the dryer 1 according to actual needs to optimize air flow and drying efficiency. The combined design of the buckle column, the positioning buckle 283 and the fastener 284 ensures that the partition will not accidentally move or loosen during use. Through the cooperation of the fastener 284 and the rotating buckle, the user can easily adjust the position of the partition and ensure that the position is firmly locked, avoiding the situation where the drying effect is affected by the unstable angle or displacement. In particular, the user can also easily disassemble the positioning latch 283 or replace related components as needed, providing an operation method that is convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0043] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 6 to 10 The clothes dryer of the present invention further comprises an air outlet assembly 3, which is arranged on one side of the clothes dryer drum 1 along the central axis. A first buckle groove is provided on one side of the air outlet assembly 3 close to the main partition plate 21, and an engaging protrusion is provided on one side of the main partition plate 21 close to the first buckle groove along the central axis. The engaging protrusion is detachably arranged in the first buckle groove. Figure 6For example, the air outlet assembly 3 is located on one side of the clothes drying drum 1 along the central axis. The air outlet assembly 3 is provided with an embedding groove on the space dividing member, and the embedding groove is a groove with a certain depth and shape. In this embodiment, specifically, the air outlet assembly 3 includes an air outlet outer structure 33, an air outlet inner structure 32 and an air outlet baffle 31, and the air outlet inner structure is provided with a first air outlet 324 and a second air outlet 325. A groove is provided on the air outlet baffle 31, and the groove shape is D-shaped, that is, the first D-shaped groove 311, and the first D-shaped groove 311 is designed to fit tightly with the embedding protrusion on the main partition plate 21. An embedding protrusion is provided on the main partition plate 21, that is, the rear embedding protrusion 24, and the shape and size of the rear embedding protrusion 24 match the first D-shaped groove 311. The rear embedding protrusion 24 can be a protruding circular or square component, or it can be a component with a special structure, such as a trapezoidal, rectangular, etc. In the present embodiment, the specific shape of the engaging protrusion is D-shaped, the purpose of which is to cooperate with the D-shaped groove. During installation, the rear engaging protrusion 24 will be aligned with the first D-shaped groove 311, and then the protrusion will be tightly engaged with the engaging groove by simply pushing or rotating. During disassembly, the user only needs to gently pull out the main partition plate 21 to disengage the rear engaging protrusion 24 from the first D-shaped groove 311, thereby completing the disassembly process. In order to ensure the stability and durability of the air outlet component 3 in long-term use, the engaging groove and the engaging protrusion are usually made of high-strength and wear-resistant materials, such as ABS, polycarbonate or stainless steel. These materials have good heat resistance and corrosion resistance, can withstand the influence of temperature and humidity inside the dryer, and ensure the long-term reliability of the component.

[0044] Further, refer to Figures 6 to 10The clothes dryer of the present invention further comprises a return air assembly 4, which is arranged on the other side of the clothes dryer 1 facing the air outlet assembly 3. A second buckle groove is provided on the side of the return air assembly 4 close to the main partition plate 21. The main partition plate 21 further comprises a slider hole 252, an elastic member, and an engaging slider. The slider hole 252 is formed by being recessed toward the engaging protrusion on the side of the main partition plate 21 close to the second buckle groove. The two opposite ends of the elastic member are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the slider hole 252 and the engaging slider. The engaging slider is slidably arranged in the slider hole 252. The return air assembly 4 is located on the side of the clothes dryer 1 close to the dryer door 82, and is installed on the side opposite to the air outlet assembly 3, and is symmetrically arranged along the central axis. A second buckle groove is provided on the side of the return air assembly 4 close to the main partition plate 21, and the shape and size of the buckle groove match the engaging slider on the main partition plate 21. In this embodiment, specifically, the return air assembly 4 includes a return air outer structure 43, a return air inner structure 42 and a return air outlet baffle 41, and the return air outlet inner structure is provided with a first return air outlet 424 and a second return air outlet 425. The return air outlet baffle 41 is provided with a groove, and the groove shape is D-shaped, namely the second D-shaped groove 411, which is arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner with the first D-shaped groove 311. This design enables the return air assembly 4 to be firmly connected to the main partition plate 21 through the buckle groove. Unlike the rear interlocking protrusion 24, the component installed on the main partition plate 21 that is engaged with the second D-shaped groove 411 is a retractable slider, namely the front interlocking slider 25. Figure 5 For example, the front interlocking slider 25 is arranged in the slider hole 252, and a spring 251 is arranged between the front interlocking slider 25 and the bottom surface of the slider hole 252. The front interlocking slider 25 slides freely in the slider hole 252, and the elastic force provided by the spring 251 can make the front interlocking slider 25 maintain a certain tension in the slider hole 252, so that the front interlocking slider 25 is easier to install when it is installed and docked with the second D-shaped groove 411, and is more tightly fixed after installation. If the user needs to disassemble the variable volume partition assembly 2, the front interlocking slider 25 can be released by first loosening the front interlocking slider 25 and sliding it to the other end of the slider hole 252. Then, the connection between the return air assembly 4 and the main partition plate 21 can be released, and the disassembly operation is completed.

[0045] Further, refer to Figures 6 to 10The air outlet assembly 3 includes an air outlet baffle 31, and the return air assembly 4 includes a return air outlet baffle 41. The air outlet baffle 31 and the return air outlet baffle 41 are arranged opposite to each other. The first buckle groove is arranged on the air outlet baffle 31, and the second buckle groove is arranged on the return air outlet baffle 41 opposite to the first buckle groove in a pair. The air outlet assembly 3 includes the air outlet baffle 31, and the first buckle groove, i.e., the first D-shaped groove 311, is arranged on the air outlet baffle 31. The return air assembly 4 includes the return air outlet baffle 41, and the second buckle groove, i.e., the second D-shaped groove 411, is arranged on the return air outlet baffle 41. The air outlet baffle 31 and the return air outlet baffle 41 are arranged opposite to each other. The air outlet baffle 31 is provided with uniform small holes to achieve the dispersion of the drying gas so that the drying gas can fully contact with the dried clothes. The return air vent shield 41 is provided with uniform small holes. Unlike the outlet air vent shield 31, the function of these small holes is to ensure the passage of air flow while the return air vent shield 41 blocks foreign objects in the clothes drying chamber from falling into the return air vent. By setting the first D-shaped groove 311 on the outlet air vent shield 31 and the second D-shaped groove 411 on the return air vent shield 41, the clothes drying chamber forms a space that can isolate the clothes from the outlet air duct 75 and the return air duct 74, so as to ensure the stable operation of the clothes dryer. Furthermore, the return air vent shield 41 is detachably provided on the return air end frame 73, so that the user can clean the fine fibers that may be adhered to the return air vent after using the clothes dryer for a long time. By disassembling the return air vent shield 41, the first return air vent 424 and the second return air vent 425 on the inner structure of the return air vent can be directly contacted.

[0046] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the edge of the slider hole 252 is provided with an annular protrusion protruding toward the second locking groove, and the annular protrusion forms a main buckle column 281. There is a circle of annular protrusions on the edge of the slider hole 252, and the annular protrusion is used as the main buckle column 281, on which the positioning buckle 283 is installed. This design integrates the installation structure of the front embedded slider 25 and the main buckle column 281, reduces the number of parts, enhances the structural stability of the main partition plate 21, and makes it more durable. When the front embedded slider 25 is docked with the second locking groove, the main buckle column 281 will also provide additional locking force to ensure that the main partition plate 21 will not loosen due to external force or vibration.

[0047] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9The air outlet assembly 3 also includes an annular groove 312 that is recessed in a direction away from the main partition plate 21. The main partition plate 21 is also provided with a first auxiliary protrusion 26, and the variable volume partition plate 22 is provided with a second auxiliary protrusion 27. The first auxiliary protrusion 26 and the second auxiliary protrusion 27 are slidably arranged in the annular groove 312. When the variable volume partition assembly 2 is installed in the clothes drying drum 1, the first auxiliary protrusion 26 and the second auxiliary protrusion 27 respectively arranged on the main partition plate 21 and the variable volume partition plate 22 are embedded in the annular groove 312, so that the variable volume partition assembly 2 has more supporting points on the air outlet shield 31, and the installation is more stable. In addition, the first auxiliary protrusion 26 and the second auxiliary protrusion 27 can slide in the annular groove 312, which facilitates the folding, storage and alignment installation of the main partition plate 21 and the auxiliary partition plate.

[0048] In one embodiment, the partition is a hollow structure. The so-called hollow structure means that the partition itself is hollow, not solid. The hollow structure reduces the amount of material used in the partition. Compared with a solid partition, the hollow structure uses less material and has a lower production cost. The hollow structure itself can increase the heat insulation effect of the partition, preventing heat from being transferred too quickly between the drying chambers, affecting the drying effect. The partition can be made of plastic or composite materials, which are lightweight, strong, and heat-resistant. They can effectively support the hollow structure while ensuring the overall durability of the partition.

[0049] In one embodiment, a nano coating is provided on the surface of the partition plate, which can reduce the friction between the clothing fibers and the partition plate, and reduce the loss of clothing during drying. At the same time, the anti-fouling and durability of the partition plate are improved, and the cleaning and maintenance requirements are reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0050] In one embodiment, auxiliary lifting ribs are convexly provided on the surface of the partition plate close to the clothes drying chamber. The auxiliary lifting ribs can turn the clothes when the clothes drying drum rotates, so that the clothes are fully in contact with the drying gas, thereby improving the drying effect. Furthermore, the auxiliary lifting ribs also extend in a wave shape along the axis direction of the central axis. The wave-shaped auxiliary lifting ribs can further improve the turning effect of the clothes, and at the same time prevent the adhesion between small and light clothes and the auxiliary lifting ribs to a certain extent, so that the clothes drying effect is better.

[0051] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
