[0008] In an optional embodiment, it also includes a base, and the first shell and the second shell can slide relative to the base. When the first shell and the second shell slide relative to each other until the horizontal projection area of ​​the shell assembly is minimized, the shell assembly is in a shell folded state, and when the first shell and the second shell slide away from each other, the shell assembly switches from the shell folded state to the shell unfolded state.

[0009] Beneficial effects: The first shell and the second shell can slide relative to the base, so that the length of the shell assembly can be changed. When the shell assembly is in the folded state, the volume of the main device is effectively reduced, making the drying equipment easy to install and store. When the shell assembly switches from the folded state to the expanded state, the length of the drying equipment can be increased according to user needs, so that the capacity of the drying equipment is increased, meeting the user's demand for large-volume drying.

[0077] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0078] The spliced ​​clothes dryer in the related art has complicated installation steps, is inconvenient to store, and occupies a large space; while the box-type folding clothes dryer can be compressed and folded, but its capacity is small and it is difficult to meet the drying needs of a large family. Increasing its size to achieve expansion will bring about the problem of occupying a large storage space, so it is difficult to meet the user's needs for large volume capacity and small volume storage. Based on the above problems, the present invention provides a main device and drying device of a drying device that is easy to store and can meet the user's needs for large volume capacity of drying clothes.

[0079] Combine the following Figures 1 to 24 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0080] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a main device of a drying device is provided. The main device includes a shell assembly 2, and the shell assembly 2 includes a first shell 201 and a second shell 202. The first shell 201 and the second shell 202 move relative to each other to increase or decrease the horizontal projection area of ​​the shell assembly 2. The first shell 201 and the second shell 202 move relative to each other, so that when the horizontal projection area of ​​the shell assembly 2 is reduced, the length of the main device is reduced, which effectively saves space and facilitates storage. When the horizontal projection area of ​​the shell assembly 2 is increased, the length of the main device is increased, so that the capacity of the drying device is increased to meet user needs.

[0081] The above-mentioned main body device is provided with a first shell 201 and a second shell 202 that can move relatively, so that the horizontal projection area of ​​the shell assembly 2 is increased or reduced, and the length of the main body device can be changed, which can effectively save space and facilitate storage.

[0082] In one embodiment, the main device further includes a base 1, and the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 can slide relative to the base 1. When the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 slide relative to each other until the horizontal projection area of ​​the shell assembly 2 is the smallest, the shell assembly 2 is in the shell folded state. When the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 slide away from each other, the shell assembly 2 switches from the shell folded state to the shell expanded state. By setting the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 that can slide relative to the base 1, the length of the main device can be changed. When the shell assembly 2 is in the shell folded state, the main device is in the storage state. At this time, the volume of the main device is effectively reduced, making the whole machine easy to install and store. When the shell assembly 2 switches from the shell folded state to the shell expanded state, the length of the main device can be increased according to the needs of the user, so that the capacity of the drying device is increased, meeting the user's drying needs for large volume.

[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the main device also includes a guide rail assembly 203, which is arranged on the base 1, and the two ends of the guide rail assembly 203 are respectively connected to the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, and the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 slide along the guide rail assembly 203.

[0084] In this embodiment, there are two groups of guide rail assemblies 203, and the two groups of guide rail assemblies 203 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 1 along the sliding direction of the housing assembly 2, that is, the two groups of guide rail assemblies 203 are arranged parallel to each other. The two ends of each group of guide rail assemblies 203 are respectively connected to the first housing 201 and the second housing 202, so that the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 slide along the two groups of guide rail assemblies 203, thereby changing the length of the dryer to change the capacity of the dryer and adapt to different drying needs. The guide rail assembly 203 can guide the movement of the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 to avoid swinging and position deviation during the movement of the housing assembly 2, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the movement of the housing assembly 2.

[0085] like Figure 4 and 6As shown, in one embodiment, the guide rail assembly 203 includes a first guide rail 2031 and two second guide rails 2032 that are coaxially arranged, the first guide rail 2031 has a mounting support surface, the two second guide rails 2032 are both slidably arranged on the mounting support surface, and the two second guide rails 2032 are arranged along the sliding direction of the first shell 201 and the second shell 202. The two second guide rails 2032 are both slidably arranged on the mounting support surface of the first guide rail 2031, so that the force between the second guide rails 2032 on both sides and the first guide rail 2031 is relatively balanced, and the stability of the guide rail sliding is improved. The two second guide rails 2032 are arranged along the sliding direction of the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, and can guide the movement of the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, improve the stability and reliability of the movement of the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 relative to the base 1, reduce the volume of the dryer, and facilitate the storage of the whole machine.

[0086] like Figure 4 and 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting support surface is the upper surface of the first guide rail 2031, the first guide rail 2031 is arranged on the base 1, and the two second guide rails 2032 are slidably arranged at both ends of the first guide rail 2031, and the two second guide rails 2032 are respectively connected to the first shell 201 and the second shell 202.

[0087] In this embodiment, the two second guide rails 2032 are respectively arranged at both ends of the first guide rail 2031, and a plurality of balls are arranged on one side of the first guide rail 2031 facing the second guide rail 2032, and the balls are placed between the first guide rail 2031 and the second guide rail 2032, so that the two second guide rails 2032 can slide smoothly relative to the first guide rail 2031. The two second guide rails 2032 are both provided with first screw holes 204, and correspondingly, the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 are provided with second screw holes 102 corresponding to the first screw holes 204, and the first screw holes 204 and the second screw holes 102 are connected by screws to connect the two second guide rails 2032 to the first shell 201 and the second shell 202, respectively. When the two second guide rails 2032 move along the first guide rail 2031, they can drive the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 to slide relative to the base 1. The first shell 201 and the second shell 202 can move relative to each other or move away from each other. When the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 move relative to each other, they are close to each other, and the length of the clothes dryer is reduced. When the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 move away from each other, the length of the clothes dryer is increased. Integrating the moving guides of the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 into a guide rail assembly 203 saves costs and installation space, further reduces the size of the clothes dryer, and facilitates the storage of the entire machine.

[0088] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the guide rail assembly 203 also includes a connecting member 2033, which is a flat member with screw holes. Correspondingly, screw holes are also provided at corresponding positions on the first guide rail 2031 and the base 1. The first guide rail 2031 is fixed to the base 1 through the connecting member 2033 using screws. The installation method is simple and quick, ensuring the stability and reliability of the guide rail assembly 203 when driving the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 to slide.

[0089] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, a drying device is provided, including a main device of the drying device. In this embodiment, the drying device is a clothes dryer.

[0090] In one embodiment, the clothes dryer further comprises a hanger assembly 3, which is detachably mounted on the main device. The hanger assembly 3 comprises a telescopic rod assembly and a folding hanger 302, one end of the telescopic rod assembly is rotatably connected to the housing assembly 2, so that the telescopic rod assembly has a folded state of the telescopic rod assembly and an unfolded state of the telescopic rod assembly. In the unfolded state of the telescopic rod assembly, the folding hanger 302 is detachably mounted on the telescopic rod assembly. By providing the telescopic rod assembly and the folding hanger 302 detachably mounted on the main device, the height of the main device can be changed. When the telescopic rod assembly is unfolded, the height of the main device increases, which meets the user's demand for large-volume drying capacity. After the telescopic rod assembly is folded, it is convenient to store the whole machine.

[0091] like Fig. 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the telescopic rod assembly includes at least two telescopic rod structures 301, and the at least two telescopic rod structures 301 are rotatably arranged on the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 respectively. When the telescopic rod is in a folded state, the telescopic rod structure 301 is stored on the base 1, and when the telescopic rod is in an unfolded state, the telescopic rod structure 301 is arranged at an angle relative to the base 1.

[0092] In this embodiment, two telescopic rod structures 301 are arranged on the base 1 symmetrically about the axis of the base 1, and the ends of the two telescopic rod structures 301 close to the base 1 are rotatably connected to the base 1. By setting up two telescopic rod structures 301, when in use, the folding hanger 302 can be better supported and fixed, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the installation of the folding hanger 302, thereby ensuring the stability of hanging clothes.

[0093] In other embodiments, the telescopic rod structure 301 is also set to three or four along the four sides of the base 1, and accordingly, mounting holes are also added on the folding hanger 302 to facilitate the folding hanger 302 to be installed on the top of the telescopic rod structure 301. The telescopic rod structure 301 further improves the support and fixation of the folding hanger 302, thereby improving the firmness and reliability of the whole machine.

[0094] like Figure 7-10 As shown, in one embodiment, when the telescopic rod is folded, the telescopic rod structure 301 is arranged parallel to the upper surface of the base 1, and when the telescopic rod is unfolded, the telescopic rod structure 301 is arranged perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 1. By arranging the telescopic rod structure 301 rotatably mounted with the base 1, it is convenient to switch the telescopic rod structure 301 between the folded state and the unfolded state, which is easy to operate and improves the installation and storage efficiency.

[0095] In this embodiment, the upper end surface of the base 1 is provided with a placement groove that can accommodate the telescopic rod structure 301. When the telescopic rod structure 301 is in a folded state, the two telescopic rod structures 301 are placed in the placement groove, so that the telescopic rod structure 301 is flush with the upper end surface of the base 1 to achieve the storage of the telescopic rod structure 301. When the telescopic rod structure 301 is transformed from a folded state to an unfolded state, the ends of the two telescopic rod structures 301 that are not connected to the base 1 are flipped vertically upward respectively, and flipped until the two telescopic rod structures 301 are perpendicular to the upper end surface of the base 1. The length of the two telescopic rod structures 301 can be extended, and then the height of the dryer can be changed to meet the drying needs of different users. When the telescopic rod structure 301 is extended to the maximum length, it is in the unfolded state of the telescopic rod assembly.
