Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drying, and particularly to a drying device and a clothes dryer. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, the drying device is usually configured with a frame structure. The clothes are hung on the hanger and then hung on the frame, or the clips on the frame are directly used to clamp the clothes for drying. However, for small items such as socks and underwear, it is easy to slip when hung on the hanger, and it is cumbersome to operate when there are a large number of items clamped by the clips. Therefore, in some drying technologies, a drying net is introduced as a supplement, and the items to be dried are directly placed on the flat and unfolded drying net for drying, which improves the drying convenience.

[0003] However, the current use method of the drying net is relatively single. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a drying device and a clothes dryer, which can realize the flexible switching of the unfolding position of the drying net through a bidirectionally unfoldable drying net structure, and improve the use convenience and scene adaptability.

[0059] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted and the achieved technical effects clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected" and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0061] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include direct contact between the first and second features, or may include the situation where the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through additional features therebetween. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over" and "on top of" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature being "below", "beneath" and "underneath" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0062] In the related art, although there are some drying devices equipped with drying nets to meet the quick drying needs of items such as socks, intimate clothing, plush toys, and face towels, the use of drying nets still has limitations: the position of the drying net is fixed and the usage method is single; some drying nets need to be manually disassembled. After removing the entire drying net, it is installed at another position, but such operation is troublesome; in addition, when the drying net is not in use, there are also problems such as being prone to dust accumulation, occupying space and being unable to be hidden, and having weak bearing capacity.

[0063] Based on this, the present application provides a drying device. The drying device can be applied to a clothes dryer, or the drying device can be a wall-mounted clothes hanger, a folding clothes hanger, etc.

[0064] The drying device of the present application is configured with a drying net assembly as a supplement to drying methods such as hanging with a clothes hanger and clamping with clips. For small, easily deformed or items that are not suitable for hanging to be dried, the drying net provides a flat drying solution to avoid problems such as hanging slipping or clamping deformation.

[0065] Moreover, the drying net in the drying device can be unfolded in different directions through a two-way unfolding structure, and can be switched between different states, meeting the full utilization of space and functions when the entire drying device is applied, and being more practical. When adjusting the state of the drying net, by pulling the end of the drying net in different directions, the state switching of the drying net can be achieved, without the cumbersome process of disassembling the entire drying net, moving the entire drying net, and reinstalling the drying net. It is easy for users to learn the usage directions and the operation efficiency is high.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 1 to 20 below to describe the drying device and the clothes dryer of the present application.

[0067] The drying device includes a drying frame and a drying net assembly 20. Figure 13 、 Figure 14 Schematically shows the structure of the drying frame, Figures 1 to 3 、 Figure 6Schematically shows the application of the drying frame in the drying device. The drying frame provides a basic support structure and a basic drying function, and the basic drying function includes at least one of hanging drying with a clothes hanger and clamping drying with clips.

[0068] The following provides several application scenarios of the drying device. For example, when the drying device is applied to a clothes dryer, the clothes dryer includes a main machine 91, a lifting component 92, and this drying device. The main machine 91 is installed on the ceiling or ceiling suspension. The drying device is the main part that provides the drying function in the clothes dryer. The drying frame is connected to the main machine 91 through the lifting component 92. Through the lifting component 92, the height of the drying frame can be controlled to be lifted to adjust the height of the drying frame, which is convenient for users to pick up and place clothes and dry clothes. For example, the lifting component 92 is a cable. One end of the cable is connected to the power unit inside the main machine 91, and the other end is connected to the drying frame. By winding or unwinding the cable through the power unit, the drying frame can be pulled up or down. Or, the drying device is a wall-mounted clothes hanger. Or, the drying device is a floor-standing clothes hanger with retractable and deployable support legs, etc. For the convenience of understanding, the following embodiments continue to describe the drying device as an electric clothes dryer.

[0069] Refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figures 9 to 12 , the sunshade net assembly 20 includes a base 21 and a sunshade net 22. The base 21 is connected to the drying frame to install the sunshade net assembly 20 on the drying frame. The leading end of the sunshade net 22 is connected to the base 21. The sunshade net 22 has an unfolded state. When the sunshade net 22 is in the unfolded state, the end 222 of the sunshade net 22 is far from the leading end of the sunshade net 22, so that a planar bearing structure is formed between the leading end and the end 222 of the sunshade net 22 for supporting small, easily deformed, and non-hangable items to be dried. Among them, the sunshade net 22 is made of a bendable and deformable material, which is convenient for storage, but can form a planar bearing structure after being unfolded. The sunshade net 22 can be a mesh structure with holes or a textile cloth with good air permeability, etc.

[0070] The sunning net assembly 20 is configured such that the end 222 of the sunning net 22 can move in a first direction away from the base 21 to expand into a planar bearing structure for drying, or can move in a second direction away from the base 21 to expand into a planar bearing structure for drying. Here, the first direction and the second direction are two opposite directions. For example, the first direction is to the left and the second direction is to the right. In other words, the sunning net 22 has a first use state in which the end 222 moves in the first direction to expand in the drying frame, and the sunning net 22 also has a second use state in which the end 222 moves in the second direction to expand in the drying frame. For example, the user can, according to the need, manually adjust or electrically control to pull the end 222 of the sunning net 22, so that the end 222 of the sunning net 22 moves to the left or to the right, so that the sunning net 22 is located on the left side or the right side of the base 21 after expansion, so that the sunning net 22 expands in different areas of the drying frame.

[0071] Optionally, the sunning net 22 in the sunning net assembly 20 also has a storage state and can be hidden. When the sunning net 22 is not needed, the sunning net 22 is stored in the base 21 to avoid the problem of dust accumulation caused by long-term exposure of the sunning net 22, and at the same time release space. When the sunning net 22 is needed, the end 222 of the sunning net 22 is pulled in the first direction or the second direction according to the need.

[0072] Exemplarily, the drying device is an electric clothes dryer. When the user pulls the end 222 of the sunning net 22 towards the middle, the sunning net 22 expands in the middle area of the drying frame. When the user pulls the end 222 of the sunning net 22 towards one of the outer sides, the sunning net 22 expands in the lateral area of the drying frame. As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, the middle area of the drying frame is within the downward projection area of the host 91, and the lateral area of the drying frame is outside the downward projection area of the host 91. Or rather, the drying frame is connected to the host 91 through two sets of vertical lifting components 92. The middle area of the drying frame is between the two sets of lifting components 92, and the lateral area of the drying frame is outside the lifting components 92.

[0073] The drying device of the present application not only provides basic drying functions (such as hanger suspension, clip clamping), but also is configured with a sunning net 22 to supplement the drying method and improve applicability. And, by configuring the sunning net 22 as a structure that can be expanded bidirectionally, the sunning net 22 can be expanded in a suitable direction according to different functional requirements, so that the sunning net 22 expands in a suitable area of the drying frame, so that the sunning net 22 cooperates with other functional modules of the drying device after expansion, taking into account the full play of the functionality of the drying device, being flexible to use, meeting diverse needs, and taking into account the user experience.

[0074] Based on the design that the drying net 22 can be unfolded bidirectionally, users can unfold the drying net 22 in the middle area of the drying frame to share the functional modules in the middle space of the drying device, realizing multi-functional collaboration and enhancing the user experience. For example, the main unit 91 of the drying device or the frame main body part below the drying frame where the main unit 91 is located is provided with functional modules. The functional modules can be, but are not limited to, blowing and drying, spraying fragrance mist, and ultraviolet disinfection. These functional modules can not only care for the clothes hung in the middle position of the drying frame, but also, when the user unfolds the drying net 22 in the middle area of the drying frame, small items such as baby bibs, face towels, socks, and plush toys can be placed on the drying net 22, and the small items on the drying net 22 can be dried, disinfected, or fumigated.

[0075] Based on the design that the drying net 22 can be unfolded bidirectionally, users can unfold the drying net 22 in the lateral area of the drying frame. The drying net 22 avoids the middle core drying area, which can reduce the impact of the drying net 22 on the drying effect of the clothes in the middle core drying area and can also form an independent operation space for the drying net 22. For example, when there are relatively difficult-to-dry clothes hung in the middle area of the drying frame, if the drying net 22 needs to be used, the user can unfold the drying net 22 in the lateral area of the drying frame. The drying net 22 avoids the middle space of the drying frame, reducing the impact of the drying net 22 and the items on it on the ventilation effect and the light receiving effect of the middle space, taking into account both the middle core hanging drying function and the lateral drying net 22 drying function. For example, after the user takes out multiple small items from the washing machine, they can directly place all of them in the storage basin first, and then directly move the storage basin above the drying net 22 unfolded in the lateral area of the drying frame, pour multiple clothes onto the drying net 22 at one time, and then move the multiple clothes to make them spaced apart from each other, improving the drying efficiency. The process of pouring the storage basin will not be blocked by the vertical lifting cable connecting the drying frame and the main unit 91, improving the convenience of drying with the drying net 22. For another example, when the drying net 22 is unfolded in the lateral area of the drying frame, when the lighting module of the main unit 91 illuminates downward, it will not be blocked by the drying net 22, achieving a good lighting effect.

[0076] The clothes dryer of the present application not only provides the basic functions of hanging clothes on a hanger and clamping and drying with clips, but also provides a flat support drying solution for small, easily deformed, or non-hangable items to be dried by configuring the drying net assembly 20. This diversified drying method meets the drying needs of different items and improves the flexibility and applicability of drying. Moreover, the drying net assembly 20 can be unfolded bidirectionally, and its usage method in the clothes dryer is flexible and can cooperate flexibly with other structures in the clothes dryer. When users use the clothes dryer, they can easily adjust the unfolding direction and position of the drying net 22 according to the actual drying scenario and needs, providing different drying functions at different positions of the clothes dryer.

[0077] In one embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 3, the drying frame includes a main frame 11 and side frames 12. The side frames 12 are connected to the main frame 11, and the side frames 12 at least have a protruding state that extends outward relative to the main frame 11. Figure 13 In the figure, both side frames 12 are in the protruding state. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In the figure, the right side frame 12 on the right is in the protruding state. Among them, when the side frame 12 is in the protruding state, the side frame 12 not only provides the basic drying function of hanging and / or clamping clothes, but also a drying net 22 can be unfolded at the position of the side frame 12, and the side frame 12 can support the unfolded drying net 22, improving the bearing capacity of the drying net 22 when it is unfolded at the position of the side frame 12.

[0078] Exemplarily, brackets 112 are provided at the left and right ends of the main frame 11. For the side frame 12 installed on the right side of the main frame 11, the right end of the side frame 12 has an end cap 122. When the side frame 12 is in the protruding state, the spaced space formed between the end cap 122 and the bracket 112 can be used for the drying net 22 to be unfolded. In this embodiment, the drying frame includes two side frames 12, and the two side frames 12 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the main frame 11; in other embodiments, the drying frame may also include only one side frame 12, or include multiple side frames 12.

[0079] When the drying net 22 is in the first use state, at this time, the end 222 of the drying net 22 moves inward to be unfolded within the main frame 11 (unfolded inside, below or above the main frame 11), and the main frame 11 provides support for the drying net 22. The side frame 12 is in the protruding state, and the drying net 22 is in the second use state. At this time, the drying net 22 moves outward to be unfolded at the side frame 12 (unfolded inside, below or above the side frame 12), and the side frame 12 provides support for the drying net 22. Combining Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 , the drying net 22 on the left side in the figure is in the first use state, and the drying net 22 on the right side is in the second use state.

[0080] Exemplarily, the drying device is a clothes dryer. The user can pull the end 222 of the drying net 22 inward to make the drying net 22 unfold at the position of the main frame 11 below the main unit 91. At this time, the dust on the drying net 22 can be reduced, and the drying net 22 can also be applied with functions such as a disinfection and drying module. When the side frame 12 is in the protruding state, the user can pull the end 222 of the drying net 22 outward to make the drying net 22 extend outward relative to the main unit 91.

[0081] It should be noted that for the sunning net 22 with different installation positions, the first direction and the second direction of the sunning net 22 are different. In the attached drawings, F1 indicates the first direction corresponding to the sunning net 22, and F2 indicates the second direction corresponding to the sunning net 22. The movement of the sunning net 22 in the first direction means that the sunning net 22 moves in the direction that can be unfolded on the main frame 11, and the movement of the sunning net 22 in the second direction means that the sunning net 22 can move in the direction that can be unfolded on the side frame 12.

[0082] Optionally, the main frame 11 includes main drying rods 111 and brackets 112, and brackets 112 are respectively connected to both ends of the main drying rods 111. For example, the main frame 11 includes two main drying rods 111 arranged at intervals in the width direction of the drying frame, and two brackets 112 arranged at intervals in the length direction of the drying frame. Both ends of the brackets 112 are respectively connected to the two main drying rods 111.

[0083] Optionally, the side frame 12 has an extended state and a retracted state, and the side frame 12 is a telescopic frame. The side frame 12 includes a telescopic rod 121 and an end cap 122. The first end of the telescopic rod 121 is connected to the main frame 11, and the second end of the telescopic rod 121 is connected to the end cap 122. The telescopic rod 121 is a telescopic structure and / or the telescopic rod 121 can be slidably connected to the main frame 11 so that the end cap 122 can approach or move away from the bracket 112 at the end of the main frame 11. When the telescopic frame is in the extended state, the end cap 122 is away from the bracket 112 at the end of the main frame 11; when the telescopic frame is in the retracted state, the end cap 122 is close to the bracket 112 at the end of the main frame 11.

[0084] It can be understood that when the side frame 12 is a telescopic frame that can be telescopic relative to the main frame 11, the unfolding and retracting of the sunning net 22 and the extension and retraction of the side frame 12 can be linked, so as to realize the simultaneous unfolding of the sunning net 22 when the side frame 12 extends and the simultaneous retraction of the sunning net 22 when the side frame 12 retracts, reducing the number of user operation actions, having high operation efficiency, being convenient for users to use, having a low cost of learning to operate, and being more practical for household drying devices. Exemplarily, the base 21 of the sunning net assembly 20 is installed on the main frame 11, and a locking structure is provided at the end 222 of the sunning net 22, and the locking structure is at least used for detachably connecting with the end cap 122 of the side frame 12; in this way, in the state where the end 222 of the sunning net 22 is connected to the end cap 122 of the side frame 12, by moving the side frame 12 outward relative to the main frame 11 to unfold, the end cap 122 of the side frame 12 can synchronously drive the end 222 of the sunning net 22 to move outward, and the sunning net 22 can be unfolded synchronously. Similarly, when the user retracts the telescopic frame, the sunning net 22 can be retracted synchronously.

[0085] In other embodiments, the side frame 12 extends and retracts by flipping. The inner end of the side frame 12 is rotatably connected to the main frame 11, and the outer end is a free end. By flipping the side frame 12 relative to the main frame 11, the side frame 12 can be horizontally extended outward relative to the main frame 11 to the extended state. When the side frame 12 needs to be stored, the side frame 12 can be flipped inward by 20 degrees to 180 degrees. Alternatively, the side frame 12 can also be fixedly connected to the main frame 11, and the side frame 12 cannot be stored.

[0086] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 13 , Figure 14 , the drying frame includes two side frames 12, and the two side frames 12 are respectively the first side frame 1201 and the second side frame 1202 connected to the opposite sides of the main frame 11; one end of the main frame 11 close to the first side frame 1201 has a first bracket 11201, and one end close to the second side frame 1202 has a second bracket 11202. Refer to Figure 6 , the drying device includes two groups of drying net assemblies 20, and the two groups of drying net assemblies 20 are respectively the first drying net assembly 201 and the second drying net assembly 202. The base 21 of the first drying net assembly 201 is arranged on the first bracket 11201, and the base 21 of the second drying net assembly 202 is arranged on the second bracket 11202. The first side frame 1201 and the second side frame 1202 are connected to the two sides of the main frame 11 in the y direction, and the first direction and the second direction are two directions opposite to the y axis, that is, the end 222 of the drying net 22 can be pulled along the y direction.

[0087] In this embodiment, by arranging the base 21 on the bracket 112 of the main frame 11, the drying net 22 is supported by the bracket 112. Combining the two-way unfolding function of the drying net 22, the drying net 22 can be unfolded inward on the main frame 11 or outward on the side frame 12. Users can freely choose the unfolding direction and position of the drying net 22 according to the quantity, type of the items to be dried and the space environment, meeting the various needs of different users in different scenarios, with high flexibility and strong adaptability. And when the drying device is an electric clothes dryer, the drying frame is designed to be able to be raised to the highest position when not in use to be as close as possible to the host 91 to improve the aesthetics. At this time, the main frame 11 is next to the lower surface of the host 91, or the main frame 11 surrounds the outer periphery of the host 91. By arranging the base 21 of the drying net 22 on the brackets 112 at both ends of the main frame 11, for example, arranging the base 21 outside the bracket 112, it does not affect the drying frame being raised to the highest position for storage.

[0088] Exemplarily, when the main frame 11 is located in the middle and the first side frame 1201 and the second side frame 1202 are respectively telescopically arranged on the left and right sides of the main frame 11, two sets of screen drying components 20 are correspondingly configured on the left and right at the same time. At this time, the screen 22 of the drying device can be flexibly adapted to a variety of usage requirements:

[0089] As Figure 15 shown in part (a) of Figure 15 , when the side frames 12 on both sides are extended, the two screens 22 can be simultaneously extended inward. The two screens 22 cover the left and right areas of the main frame 11 by being unfolded side by side. As Figure 15 shown in part (b) of

[0090] , when the side frames 12 on both sides are extended, one screen 22 can be extended inward to be unfolded at the position of the main frame 11, and the other screen 22 can be extended outward to be unfolded at the position of the side frame 12. As Figure 16 shown in part (a) of Figure 16 , when the side frames 12 on both sides are extended, the two screens 22 can be simultaneously extended outward. One screen 22 is unfolded at the position of the first side frame 1201, and the other screen 22 is unfolded at the position of the second side frame 1202. Of course, when the side frames 12 on both sides are extended, only one of the screens 22 can also be unfolded according to the requirements, and the other screen 22 remains in the retracted state.

[0091] When only one of the side frames 12 on both sides is extended, as Figure 17 shown in part (a) of Figure 16 , one screen 22 can be extended inward to be unfolded at the position of the main frame 11, and the other screen 22 can be extended outward to be unfolded at the position of the side frame 12; or, as

[0092] Taking the drying device as an electric drying rack as an example, when it is necessary to dry a large number of small items, and the ventilation and light requirements of these small items are not particularly strong. For example, for a large number of socks, handkerchiefs, etc. just washed out of the washing machine, the two drying nets 22 can be simultaneously unfolded inward to obtain a continuous and relatively large drying net 22 drying area, and these items are in a relatively concentrated area, which is convenient for unified collection. The disinfection and drying module can also be used for disinfection and drying. When there are different drying condition requirements for the small items to be dried, one of the two drying nets 22 can be unfolded inward and the other can be unfolded outward. For example, some items that need to be disinfected and dried (such as children's sweat towels) can be dried on the drying net 22 unfolded inward, and some items that are not suitable for high-temperature drying (such as silk clothes) can be dried on the drying net 22 unfolded outward, and natural air drying can be carried out using the good ventilation environment on the outside.

[0093] In one embodiment, when the drying device is an electric drying rack, in order to provide the function of bidirectional unfolding of the drying net 22 while ensuring that the setting of the drying net assembly 20 does not interfere with the basic functions of the drying device, the installation position of the base 21 is configured as follows: brackets 112 are provided at the left and right ends of the main frame 11, and the base 21 is arranged outside the brackets 112. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 10 , the base 21 is arranged between the bracket 112 and the end cover 122. Combining Figure 1 , the main frame 11 is located below the main machine 91. When the user does not use the drying device, the entire drying frame can be pulled upward by the lifting assembly 92. Since the base 21 is located in the outer area of the main frame 11, the main frame 11 can be raised to the highest position as much as possible, avoiding interference between the top of the base 21 and the bottom of the main machine 91 during the rising process of the main frame 11, which blocks the continuous rising of the main frame 11.

[0094] In other embodiments, which are not shown in this part of the figure, the base 21 of the drying net 22 is slidably arranged between the two main drying rods 111 of the main frame 11. When the base 21 is located in the middle of the main frame 11, the drying net 22 can be unfolded to the left or right to be unfolded in the left or right area of the main frame 11. The base 21 can also slide to the bracket 112 near the end, so that the drying net 22 can be unfolded towards the side frame 12.

[0095] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 , the drying net assembly 20 includes a reel 23. The reel 23 is rotatably arranged on the base 21. The head end of the drying net 22 is fixedly connected to the reel 23. When the drying net 22 is not in use, the drying net 22 can be easily wound around it by rotating the reel 23 to store the drying net 22. And this storage method of the drying net 22 does not require an additional telescopic rod 121 for storing the drying net 22, and the structure is simple.

[0096] Optionally, in the screen drying component 20, in addition to structures such as the reel 23, in order to ensure the stable unfolding of the screen 22, a guiding component is also provided. The guiding component includes a first guiding part 241 and a second guiding part 242 provided on the base 21. When the screen 22 is in the first use state, it abuts against the first guiding part 241, and when the screen 22 is in the second state, it abuts against the second guiding part 242. The first guiding part 241 and the second guiding part 242 can provide stable support and unfolding guidance for the screen 22 during the process of the screen 22 unfolding in the first direction or the second direction, improving the operation smoothness and drying stability. Among them, the first guiding part 241 and the second guiding part 242 can be arc-shaped surfaces for contacting the screen 22, providing a gentle and stable unfolding guidance and reducing the friction force with the screen 22.

[0097] Optionally, the first guiding part 241 is a first reversing wheel rotatably provided on the base 21, and the second guiding part 242 is a second reversing wheel rotatably provided on the base 21; during the process of the end 222 of the screen 22 moving in the first direction away from the base 21, the screen 22 abuts against the first reversing wheel and the first reversing wheel rotates; during the process of the end 222 of the screen 22 moving in the second direction away from the base 21, the screen 22 abuts against the second reversing wheel and the second reversing wheel rotates. When the end 222 of the screen 22 moves away from the base 21 in different directions, it will contact the first reversing wheel and the second reversing wheel respectively. Since the reversing wheel is rotatable, the friction between the screen 22 and the reversing wheel during the movement is rolling friction. Compared with sliding friction, the friction force of rolling friction is reduced. On the one hand, the reduction of the friction force reduces the resistance when the screen 22 moves, and it can be more labor-saving and smooth during the process of unfolding and storing the screen 22; on the other hand, it is beneficial to reduce the wear of the screen 22 and the guiding component and extend the service life.

[0098] In other embodiments, the first guiding part 241 and the second guiding part 242 can also be non-rotatable drum structures fixedly installed on the base 21.

[0099] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 10, the net drying assembly 20 includes a reel 23. An accommodation cavity 211 is provided inside the base 21. The reel 23 is disposed in the accommodation cavity 211 and is rotatably connected to the base 21 at both ends respectively. This design hides the reel 23 inside the base 21 without occupying additional external space. The base 21 can protect the reel 23 from external environmental interference (such as preventing dust accumulation, etc.). Correspondingly, the base 21 is provided with a base opening 212 which communicates the accommodation cavity 211 with the outside of the base 21, so that the net 22 can extend out of the accommodation cavity 211 through the base opening 212. When the whole drying device is installed, since the reel 23 is built into the base 21, the external contour of the entire net drying assembly 20 is more regular and will not increase additional space occupation due to the protrusion of the reel 23.

[0100] Continue to refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 10 , the first guiding portion 241 and the second guiding portion 242 are spaced apart and disposed at the base opening 212, and the net 22 extends out of the base 21 through the gap between the first guiding portion 241 and the second guiding portion 242. When the net 22 is unfolded, the guiding portions can provide stable support and guidance for the net 22 to ensure that the net 22 is unfolded in a predetermined direction and path, preventing it from shifting, swaying or winding. When the net 22 is stored, the guiding portions can also guide the net 22 to be smoothly wound onto the reel 23, making the storage process neater and smoother. By disposing the first guiding portion 241 and the second guiding portion 242 at the base opening 212, on the one hand, during the installation process, there is no need to put hands or tools deep into the inside of the base 21 for operation, and the installation and debugging of the guiding portions can be completed only at the base opening 212. In the subsequent maintenance process, if the guiding portions are damaged or need to be cleaned, the staff can also handle them more conveniently without disassembling the base 21; on the other hand, the occupation of the internal space of the base 21 by the guiding portions is reduced, providing more ample space for the storage of the net 22 inside the base 21; more importantly, the guiding portions are disposed at the base opening 212, which is closer to the extending position of the end 222 of the net 22, and can directly guide the net 22.

[0101] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 11, in the net drying assembly 20, in order to be able to control the state of the end 222 of the net 22, a net pulling member 25 is provided. The net pulling member 25 is connected to the end 222 of the net 22, and the net pulling member 25 is provided with a limiting structure, and the limiting structure of the net pulling member 25 is used for detachably connecting with the drying frame. By connecting the net pulling member 25 to the end 222 of the net 22 and setting the limiting structure to be detachably connected to the drying frame, when the net 22 is unfolded, the limiting structure is connected to the drying frame, and the drying frame plays a role in blocking the retraction of the end 222 of the net 22, realizing the maintenance of the unfolded state of the net 22. When the net 22 is not needed, the connection between the limiting structure and the drying frame is released, and the end 222 of the net 22 loses the blocking of the drying frame. At this time, the end 222 of the net 22 can be moved in the direction close to the base 21 by manual pulling, the elastic force of the elastic reset member or motor driving, etc., so as to realize the storage of the net 22. Of course, the end 222 of the net 22 can also be retracted by the movable member slidably mounted on the drying frame.

[0102] In one embodiment, the net drying assembly 20 includes a net pulling member 25, and the net drying assembly 20 is configured to: limit and connect different parts of the net pulling member 25 to different positions of the drying frame respectively, so as to maintain different use states of the net drying assembly 20. Wherein, the limiting structure includes a first limiting portion 251 and a second limiting portion 252. When the net 22 is unfolded in the first direction, the first limiting portion 251 of the net pulling member 25 is detachably connected to the main frame 11, and the net 22 is maintained in the first use state. When the net 22 is unfolded in the second direction, the second limiting portion 252 of the net pulling member 25 is detachably connected to the side frame 12, and the net 22 is maintained in the second use state. In this embodiment, different parts of the net pulling member 25 are detachably connected to different positions of the drying frame, realizing various use states of the net drying assembly 20. When the user pulls the end 222 of the net 22 in different directions, it is limited and matched with the drying frame through the net pulling member 25.

[0103] Optionally, the first limiting portion 251 and the second limiting portion 252 are respectively clamping structures provided on the opposite sides of the net pulling member 25, and the first limiting portion 251 and the second limiting portion 252 are respectively used for clamping and fastening with the main frame 11 and clamping and fastening with the side frame 12.

[0104] Exemplarily, the first limiting portion 251 and the second limiting portion 252 are respectively a first card slot and a second card slot provided on the net pulling member 25. The first card slot has a first slot opening, and the second card slot has a second slot opening. Refer to Figure 12, the first notch of the first limiting part 251 and the second notch of the second limiting part 252 are located on two opposite surfaces of the screen pulling member 25. When the screen 22 is pulled in the first direction, the first notch of the first limiting part 251 faces downward, so as to facilitate buckling the screen pulling member 25 onto the main frame 11 to lock the end 222 of the screen 22 and keep the screen 22 unfolded. When the screen 22 is pulled in the second direction, the second notch of the second limiting part 252 faces downward, so as to facilitate buckling the screen pulling member 25 onto the side frame 12 to lock the end 222 of the screen 22 and keep the screen 22 unfolded.

[0105] Correspondingly, a first clamping block 113 is provided on the main frame 11, and a second clamping block 123 is provided on the side frame 12. As Figure 4 , Figure 9 shown, when the end 222 of the screen 22 moves and unfolds in the first direction, the first notch of the first limiting part 251 faces downward, and the first clamping block 113 of the main frame 11 can be clamped and buckled by using the first clamping groove, so as to realize the limiting connection between the end 222 of the screen 22 and the main frame 11. As Figure 11 shown, when the end 222 of the screen 22 moves and unfolds in the second direction, the second notch faces downward, and the second clamping block 123 of the main frame 11 can be clamped and buckled by using the second clamping groove, so as to realize the limiting connection between the end 222 of the screen 22 and the side frame 12. The way of clamping and buckling the clamping groove and the clamping block has a simple structure, stable connection and convenient operation, and can quickly realize the position locking and unlocking of the end 222 of the screen 22. The locking and unlocking of the screen pulling member 25 and the end 222 of the screen 22 are realized by clamping and buckling the clamping groove and the clamping block. No tool assistance is required. The user can complete the limiting connection by simply buckling downward with bare hands. Moreover, the connection is stable after connection, not easy to loosen, and can effectively ensure the use effect of the screen 22 in different states.

[0106] Optionally, the screen pulling member 25 is of a rod-shaped structure. A first clamping groove is opened on the front surface of the rod, and a second clamping groove is opened on the back surface of the rod. The screen pulling member 25 extends along the width of the screen 22, and the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove also extend along the width of the screen 22. Correspondingly, the first clamping block 113 and the second clamping block 123 are also configured as strip-shaped clamping blocks. In this way, when the screen pulling member 25 is buckled with the main frame 11 or with the side frame 12, the contact area at the buckling position is large, and the limiting force can be evenly applied to the end 222 of the screen 22, so as to keep the screen 22 evenly stretched and unfolded. The overall force on the screen 22 is balanced, and the bearing capacity of the screen 22 for clothes is improved.

[0107] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , Figures 18 to 20, The drying device includes a locking assembly 30, and the locking assembly 30 includes a first locking structure 31 and a second locking structure 32. The first locking structure 31 is movably connected to the drying frame, and the second locking structure 32 is fixedly connected to the drying frame 11. When the first locking structure 31 and the second locking structure 32 are locked and matched, the second locking structure 32 restricts the movement of the first locking structure 31. When the first locking structure 31 and the second locking structure 32 are separated and unlocked, the first locking structure 31 can move on the drying frame.

[0108] The first locking structure 31 is used to connect with the end 222 of the drying net 22. When the end 222 of the drying net 22 is connected to the first locking structure 31 and the first locking structure 31 is locked and matched with the second locking structure 32, the end 222 of the drying net 22 is pulled and cannot move towards the direction close to the base 21, so as to keep the drying net 22 in the unfolded state. Among them, in order to improve the user's convenience, the locking assembly 30 is configured as: the first locking structure 31 has an initial position (such as the schematic diagram of state M1 in Figure 18 ), a locking position (such as the schematic diagram of state M4 in Figure 18 ), and an unlocking position (such as the schematic diagram of state M7 in Figure 18 ).

[0109] When the end 222 of the drying net 22 is connected to the first locking structure 31, for example, when a net pulling member 25 is provided at the end 222 of the drying net 22 and the net pulling member 25 is clamped and engaged with the first locking structure 31, the first locking structure 31 can drive the end 222 of the drying net 22 to move away from the base 21. During this process, the first locking structure 31 moves from its initial position to its locking position. When the first locking structure 31 moves to the locking position, it is clamped and engaged with the second locking structure 32. At this time, the second locking structure 32 restricts the first locking structure 31 from moving towards the direction close to the base 21, that is, the second locking structure constrains the first locking structure 31 from moving towards its initial position. The end 222 of the drying net 22 is pulled, and the drying net 22 remains unfolded.

[0110] When the user needs to retract the end 222 of the drying net 22, the first locking structure 31 can be continuously moved away from the base 21 until it moves to the unlocking position. At this time, the first locking structure 31 is separated from the second locking structure 32. The first locking structure 31 can move towards its initial position under the action of the force applied by means such as manual pushing by the user, the elastic force of the elastic reset member inside the base 21, and motor drive, so that the end 222 of the drying net 22 moves towards the direction close to the base 21, realizing the storage of the drying net 22.

[0111] It can be understood that by providing a locking assembly 30 between the drying net 22 and the drying frame, after the user connects the end 222 of the drying net 22 to the first locking structure 31, the end 222 of the drying net 22 can be quickly pulled inward to the first in-place position for locking, so as to keep the drying net 22 in the unfolded position. When it is necessary to retract the drying net 22, the end 222 of the drying net 22 is then continuously pulled along the same direction as the first time until the second in-place position to achieve unlocking. The operation is flexible and convenient, and can adapt to various different usage scenarios. This operation method of locking in place with the first pull and unlocking in place with the second pull can be quickly understood and mastered, improving the usability and popularity of the product.

[0112] In some embodiments, a locking assembly 30 is provided between the end 222 of the drying net 22 and the main frame 11. For example, when the drying frame includes a main frame 11 and side frames 12, the first locking structure 31 is movably connected to the main frame 11, and the second locking structure 32 is fixed to the main frame 11. The locking assembly 30 is used to lock or unlock the end 222 of the drying net 22 according to requirements. When the locking assembly 30 locks the end 222 of the drying net 22, the drying net 22 remains unfolded at the main frame 11. In other embodiments, a locking assembly 30 is provided between the end 222 of the drying net 22 and the side frame 12.

[0113] Optionally, the first locking structure 31 locks in place for the first time and unlocks in place for the second time in the following manner: The first locking structure 31 is provided with a groove, which includes an entrance section 311, a locking recess 312, and an exit section 313. The entrance section 311 and the exit section 313 of the groove meet at a mating notch 314. As shown in the figure, the second locking structure 32 has a clamping end 323. When the first locking structure 31 moves from its initial position to the locking position, the clamping end 323 enters the entrance section 311 through the mating notch 314 and slides along the entrance section 311 into the locking recess 312 to complete the clamping. When the first locking structure 31 moves from its locking position to the unlocking position, the clamping end 323 slides out of the locking recess 312 into the exit section 313 and exits the groove through the mating notch 314.

[0114] The entrance section 311 includes a first horizontal channel 3111 and a first inclined channel 3112, and the exit section 313 includes a second inclined channel 3131 and a second horizontal channel 3132. The first horizontal channel 3111 and the second horizontal channel 3132 are spaced apart. The first inclined channel 3112 and the second inclined channel 3131 have opposite inclination directions and are located between the first horizontal channel 3111 and the second horizontal channel 3132. Correspondingly, the second locking structure 32 includes a locking seat 321 and a swing rod 322. The first end of the swing rod 322 is hinged to the locking seat 321, and the clamping end 323 is connected to the second end of the swing rod 322.

[0115] Figure 18The states from M1 to M4 illustrate the locking process, Figure 18 and the states from M4 to M7 illustrate the unlocking process. Among them, the first horizontal channel 3111 serves as the starting guiding channel for the engaging end 323 to enter the groove, providing a horizontal and stable initial sliding path for the engaging end 323 so that it can smoothly enter the subsequent channels and avoid direction deviation or jamming during the initial entry. The first inclined channel 3112, with its inclined design, guides the engaging end 323 to change the sliding direction, making it gradually approach the locking recess 312 from the horizontal direction. At the same time, it uses the component force generated by the inclination to push the first locking structure 31 to move further, creating conditions for the engaging end 323 to enter the locking recess 312. The shape of the locking recess 312 matches that of the engaging end 323. When the engaging end 323 enters, it can restrict the movement of the engaging end 323 from multiple directions, reliably lock the first locking structure 31 and the second locking structure 32, and hold the end 222 of the sunshade net 22 to keep the sunshade net 22 in the unfolded state. The inclination direction of the second inclined channel 3131 is opposite to that of the first inclined channel 3112, guiding the engaging end 323 to change the sliding direction, making it slide out of the locking recess 312 and gradually move towards the mating notch 314, preparing for the engaging end 323 to exit the groove. The second horizontal channel 3132 provides a horizontal guiding path for the engaging end 323 before it exits the groove, enabling the engaging end 323 to smoothly slide towards the mating notch 314 and ensuring that the engaging end 323 can successfully exit the groove to complete the unlocking operation. The second end of the swing rod 322 is swingable, so that during the locking process, the engaging end 323 can move relative to the groove along the path of the mating notch 314, the first horizontal channel 3111, the first inclined channel 3112, and the locking recess 312; correspondingly, during the unlocking process, the engaging end 323 can move relative to the groove along the path of the second inclined channel 3131, the second horizontal channel 3132, and the mating notch 314.

[0116] In one embodiment, the drying device is provided with a locking assembly 30, and the end 222 of the sunshade net 22 can be detachably connected to the first locking structure 31. The sunshade net assembly 20 includes a reel 23 and an elastic reset member. The reel 23 is rotatably arranged on the base 21, and an elastic reset member is connected between the reel 23 and the base 21. The head end of the sunshade net 22 is connected to the reel 23. The elastic reset member can be a coil spring or the like.

[0117] Taking the drying frame including the main frame 11, the first locking structure 31 and the second locking structure 32 arranged on the main frame 11, and the first locking structure 31 being slidably connected to the main frame 11 as an example: When it is necessary to unfold the drying net 22 for drying, connect the end 222 of the drying net 22 to the first locking structure 31 by means of snap-fastening, magnetic attraction connection, screw connection, adhesive connection, etc., and move the first locking structure 31 in the direction close to the second locking structure 32 until the two are locked and matched (for example, locked by means of snap-fastening). The drying net 22 remains unfolded at the main frame 11. During this process, the elastic reset member of the drying net assembly 20 undergoes elastic deformation and accumulates elastic force. When it is necessary to store the drying net 22, the user only needs to continue to move the first locking structure 31 in the direction away from the base 21 to achieve unlocking, and the first locking structure 31 is separated from the second locking structure 32. At this time, the user only needs to release the first locking structure 31 or the end 222 of the drying net 22. The coil spring can drive the reel 23 to rotate under the action of the elastic force, and the reel 23 automatically winds up the drying net 22. The end 222 of the drying net 22 and the first locking structure 31 automatically slide towards the base 21, realizing the storage and hiding of the drying net 22. It can be understood that during this process, through the locking assembly 30 arranged between the drying net assembly 20 and the drying frame, and through the cooperation of the elastic reset member in the drying net assembly 20 and the reel 23, when the user does not need to use the drying net 22, the user only needs to gently pull the end 222 of the drying net 22 in the direction away from the base 21 for a certain distance and then let go, and the drying net 22 can be automatically stored. The storage operation of the drying net 22 is easy and simple, easy to operate, and makes the drying work more labor-saving.

[0118] Among them, if the user hopes that the drying net 22 is often unfolded in the main frame 11 for application, the end 222 of the drying net 22 can be kept connected to the first locking structure 31 for a long time without separating the two until it is necessary to unfold the end 222 of the drying net 22 in another direction for application, and then the end 222 of the drying net 22 is disassembled from the first locking structure 31 of the main frame 11.

[0119] In one embodiment, the drying frame includes a main frame 11 and a side frame 12. The main frame 11 includes two main drying rods 111 spaced apart in the width direction, and brackets 112 spaced apart in the length direction. First clamping blocks 113 are slidably arranged on both main drying rods 111. The two first clamping blocks 113 on the two main drying rods 111 can be of a split structure or an integral structure. The side frame 12 is connected to one side of the main frame 11 in the length direction. The side frame 12 is a telescopic frame, or the side frame 12 can slide relative to the main frame 11 so that the side frame 12 can be switched between an unfolded state and a retracted state, and thus the end cover 122 can be moved away from or close to the bracket 112. Moreover, the base 21 of the sunshade net assembly 20 is arranged on the bracket 112, and a net pulling member 25 is connected to the end 222 of the sunshade net 22. A net pulling member 25 is connected to the end 222 of the sunshade net 22. When the sunshade net 22 is unfolded, by limiting and locking the position of the net pulling member 25 in the length direction, the sunshade net 22 can be maintained in the unfolded state.

[0120] Optionally, when the sunshade net 22 is unfolded on the main frame 11 and on the side frame 12, the net pulling member 25 is limited and locked in different ways:

[0121] When the sunshade net 22 is in the first use state, when the main frame 11 is unfolded, the sunshade net 22 is maintained in the unfolded state by two-stage clamping. Among them, the main frame 11 of the drying frame includes two spaced main drying rods 111. At least one main drying rod 111 is slidably provided with a first clamping block 113. When the sunshade net 22 is in the first use state, the sunshade net 22 is unfolded at the main frame 11 of the drying frame. Both ends of the net pulling member 25 are clamped to the first clamping blocks 113 on the two main drying rods 111. And the first clamping block 113 on at least one main drying rod 111 is clamped to the main frame 11 through a locking assembly 30, so as to limit the sliding of the net pulling member 25 through the locking assembly 30, and further limit the movement of the net pulling member 25 and the end 222 of the sunshade net 22 in the direction close to the base 21, and keep the sunshade net 22 unfolded on the main frame 11. For example, a first clamping block 113 is slidably installed on each of the two main drying rods 111. One of the first clamping blocks 113 is fixedly connected to a first locking structure 31. When the sunshade net 22 is in the first use state, the net pulling member 25 is clamped downward on the two first clamping blocks 113, and the net pulling member 25 is pulled inward until the first locking structure 31 is clamped to the second locking structure 32, so as to lock the sunshade net 22 in the first use state of being unfolded on the main frame 11.

[0122] When the drying net 22 is in the second use state, when the side frame 12 is unfolded, the drying net 22 is held in the unfolded state through primary clamping. Among them, when the side frame 12 is in the extended state and the drying net 22 is in the second use state, the drying net 22 is unfolded on the side frame 12, and the net pulling member 25 is clamped with the clamping block on the end cover 122 of the side frame 12, restricting the net pulling member 25 and the end 222 of the drying net 22 from moving in the direction close to the base 21, and holding the drying net 22 in the unfolded state on the side frame 12.

[0123] It can be understood that the drying net 22 and the side frame 12 are locked and matched through primary clamping, and the way to achieve locking has lower cost and simpler structure. The drying net 22 and the main frame 11 are locked and matched through secondary clamping. Although it increases some costs, it can configure the first locking structure 31 in the locking component 30 between the cross bar 40 and the main frame 11 to "move into place once to achieve clamping and locking with the second locking structure 32, and move into place twice to achieve separation and unlocking with the second locking structure 32", so that the unfolding and storage operations of the drying net 22 at the position of the main frame 11 are more in line with the user's operation habits and the user experience is better. This embodiment takes into account both the cost of structural design and the optimization of user experience requirements.

[0124] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 8 , in order to improve the drying performance of the drying device, the drying device includes a cross bar 40, and the cross bar 40 is arranged inside the drying frame and is connected to the drying frame. The cross bar 40 has multiple functions. On the one hand, the cross bar 40 can be used as a drying rod. The user can directly hang a clothes hanger on the cross bar 40 to dry clothes, or use the clips arranged on the lower side of the cross bar 40 to clamp clothes. On the other hand, the cross bar 40 is used to support the drying net 22. After the drying net 22 is unfolded, it forms a support for the bottom of the drying net 22, thereby enhancing the bearing capacity of the drying net 22 and improving the drying effect.

[0125] The number of the cross bars 40 is one or more. When there are multiple cross bars 40, the multiple cross bars 40 are arranged at intervals along the first direction or the second direction. When the drying net 22 is in the first use state and / or the second use state, the drying net 22 is spread out on the upper side of the cross bar 40, and the cross bar 40 supports the drying net 22.

[0126] Exemplarily, the crossbar 40 is disposed within the main frame 11 of the drying frame. When the drying net 22 needs to be unfolded inwardly, the user can first pull the end 222 of the drying net 22 to make it enter the upper space of the crossbar 40, and then continue to pull the end 222 of the drying net 22 to unfold the drying net 22 above the crossbar 40. The end 222 of the drying net 22 can be directly or indirectly limited by the main frame 11, so that the drying net 22 remains unfolded within the main frame 11 and is supported by one or more crossbars 40 below. This design enables heavier items to be placed on the upper side of the drying net 22 for drying, effectively improving the drying capacity of the drying device.

[0127] One way for the end 222 of the drying net 22 to be limited is as follows: The end 222 of the drying net 22 is connected to the net pulling member 25, the net pulling member 25 is snap-fitted with the first clamping block 113, the first clamping block 113 is fixedly connected to the slider 50 slidably installed in the main frame 11, the slider 50 is fixedly connected to the first locking structure 31, the second locking structure 32 is immovably disposed in the main frame 11, and the first locking structure 31 and the second locking structure 32 are locked and cooperated to indirectly limit the end 222 of the drying net 22 with the main frame 11, thereby keeping the drying net 22 in the unfolded state.

[0128] Among them, the first clamping block 113 and the slider 50 can be separate components or integral components, and the slider 50 and the first locking structure 31 can be separate components or integral components. For example, the first clamping block 113 and the slider 50 are detachably connected to facilitate adjusting their relative positions, and the slider 50 and the first locking structure 31 are integral components.

[0129] Another way for the end 222 of the drying net 22 to be limited is as follows: The end 222 of the drying net 22 is connected to the net pulling member 25, and the net pulling member 25 is directly snap-fitted with the clamping block provided on the main frame 11.

[0130] In an embodiment, in order to take into account various requirements such as convenient user operation and flexible drying, the drying device includes a crossbar 40, and the drying frame includes a main frame 11 and a side frame 12. The main frame 11 is provided with a crossbar 40, and a locking assembly 30 is further provided on the main frame 11.

[0131] The main frame 11 includes two main drying rods 111 arranged at intervals. The main drying rods 111 provide the basic drying function. For example, hanging holes are provided on the main drying rods 111 for hangers to pass through and hang. Slide rails 114 are arranged on both main drying rods 111. Both ends of the cross bar 40 are respectively connected with sliders 50. The sliders 50 are slidably connected with the slide rails 114, so that the cross bar 40 can slide on the main drying rods 111, thereby adjusting the position of the cross bar 40. For example, clips are arranged on the cross bar 40 for clamping clothes. Since both ends of the cross bar 40 are slidably connected with the two main drying rods 111, users can flexibly adjust the position of the cross bar 40 according to the size, shape and quantity of the items to be dried, thereby changing the support area of the drying net 22 and the layout of the drying space.

[0132] The drying net assembly 20 includes a net pulling rod connected to the end 222 of the drying net 22. When the net pulling rod moves, it drives the entire drying net 22 to unfold or retract. At least one of the cross bars 40 arranged between the two main drying rods 111 is a mating rod. The net pulling rod has a state of being clamped and engaged with the mating rod and a state of being separated from the mating rod.

[0133] Among them, when the net pulling rod is clamped and engaged with the mating rod, the mating rod and the end 222 of the drying net 22 form a linkage relationship, and the two can move synchronously. During the unfolding stage of the drying net 22, that is, during the process of the end 222 of the drying net 22 moving away from the base 21 to unfold, and during the storage stage of the drying net 22, that is, during the process of the end 222 of the drying net 22 moving towards the base 21 to be stored, the mating rod can slide smoothly along the slide rail 114 inside the main frame 11. During these processes, the mating rod not only provides precise guidance for the end 222 of the drying net 22 through the cooperation with the slide rail 114, ensuring that the drying net 22 unfolds and is stored according to a predetermined trajectory, avoiding deviation or jamming phenomena, but also can provide stable support for the drying net 22, so that the drying net 22 always maintains a good shape and stability during the unfolding, drying and storage processes, greatly improving the operation convenience and use reliability of the drying device.

[0134] In some embodiments, a locking assembly 30 is added between the mating rod and the main frame 11. The locking assembly 30 can be a buckle structure for locking the mating rod to the first position of the main frame 11 or unlocking the mating rod. When the mating rod is locked to the first position, it can prevent the mating rod from sliding on the main frame 11 and causing the drying net 22 to be accidentally retracted, so that the drying net 22 can remain in the unfolded state under load.

[0135] Exemplarily, a slider 50 at at least one end of the cooperating rod is fixedly connected to the first locking structure 31, and a second locking structure 32 is provided on the main drying rod 111 corresponding to the slider 50. In this way, when the end 222 of the drying net 22 is snap-fitted with the cooperating rod and the first locking structure 31 of the slider 50 at the end of the cooperating rod is locked and cooperated with the second locking structure 32, the drying net 22 is maintained in the unfolded state.

[0136] In other embodiments, a plurality of cross bars 40 are provided between the two drying rods, and the position of at least one cross bar 40 is fixed and non-slidable. After the end 222 of the drying net 22 is unfolded in place, the draw net rod connected to the end 222 of the drying net 22 is snap-fitted on the cross bar 40 with a fixed position.

[0137] Some embodiments of the drying device of the present application have the following advantages:

[0138] First, the drying net 22 is designed to be expandable bidirectionally. The drying net 22 can be expanded in different directions according to different needs to achieve different state switches, making full use of the space and function of the drying device, with high operation efficiency and easy for users to learn and use.

[0139] Second, the drying net 22 can be stored inside the base 21 to avoid dust accumulation on the drying net 22 due to long-term exposure. Of course, when the drying net 22 is unfolded under the main frame 11 of the host 91, the dust accumulation on the drying net 22 can also be reduced due to the shielding of the upper host 91.

[0140] Third, the base 21 of the drying net 22 is installed on the bracket 112 of the main frame 11. The drying net 22 can be unfolded inwardly in the main frame 11 or outwardly at the position of the side frame 12 that extends out. When a set of drying components is provided on each of the brackets 112 at both ends of the main frame 11, various requirements in different scenarios can be met. The user can unfold the drying net 22 in the middle area of the drying frame to share the function module of the middle space, or unfold it in the lateral area to avoid the central core drying area.

[0141] Fourth, when the cross bar 40 is provided on the drying frame, the drying net 22 can be unfolded in the space above the cross bar 40, and the cross bar 40 is used to support the drying net 22, improving the weight of the items that the drying net 22 can carry and meeting the demand for a larger drying capacity. The cross bar 40 can also be used as a small drying rod to clamp, hang, and drape clothes.

[0142] Fifth, the locking component 30 provided between the end 222 of the drying net 22 and the drying frame can lock the end 222 of the drying net 22 in the unfolded position, improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of the drying net 22.

[0143] In the related art, the drying net 22 has problems such as a fixed setting position, troublesome operation, and many other issues. However, in this solution, through techniques such as the two-way unfolding structure of the drying net 22, the base 21 of the drying net 22 being arranged on the bracket 112 at the end of the main frame 11, the setting of the locking component 30, the setting of the first guiding portion 241 and the second guiding portion 242, and the cross bar 40 supporting the drying net 22, etc., the problems in the related art such as the single application scenario and inconvenient use of the drying net 22 are solved, and multiple parts in the drying device can cooperate with each other, realizing the flexibility of the use of the entire drying device, providing diverse usage methods, and meeting the diverse usage of different families, different people, and different regions.
