[0045] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an exemplary dehydration device according to some embodiments of this specification. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 AA cross-sectional view.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the dehydration device 100 may include a dehydration drum 110 , a mechanical energy storage component 120 , and an energy input component 130 .

[0047] The dehydration cylinder 110 may include a cylinder 111. In some embodiments, the cylinder 111 may include, but is not limited to, a cylindrical shape. In some embodiments, the cylinder 111 may also be provided with a cylinder cover 1113. The cylinder cover 1113 may be connected to the cylinder 111 (e.g., detachably connected) via a connecting member (e.g., a buckle, etc.) to prevent the dehydrated material in the cylinder 111 from escaping from the cylinder 111 during the dehydration process.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder 111 may be provided with dehydration holes 1111. In some embodiments, the dehydration holes 1111 may be evenly or unevenly distributed on the wall of the cylinder 111. In some embodiments, the dehydration holes 1111 may also be evenly or unevenly distributed on the bottom of the cylinder 111. The dehydration holes 1111 may penetrate the wall and bottom of the cylinder 111 so that water released from the dehydrated object can be discharged through the dehydration holes 1111.

[0049] In some embodiments, the cylinder 111 may include a plurality of axially extending portions of the cylinder 111 (e.g., Figure 1In some embodiments, two adjacent cylindrical parts 1112 among the plurality of cylindrical parts 1112 can be foldably connected to reduce the storage volume for easy carrying. In some embodiments, two adjacent cylindrical parts 1112 can be foldably connected via a foldable assembly. For example, two adjacent cylindrical parts 1112 can be foldably connected via soft rubber (for example, butyl rubber). For another example, a chute (not shown in the figure, for example, an L-shaped chute) can be provided on the overlapping area of ​​two adjacent cylindrical parts 1112, and a buckle (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the cylindrical part 1112 located below. When the cylindrical body 111 is in a folded state, the chute on the overlapping area of ​​the two adjacent cylindrical parts 1112 also overlaps accordingly. When the cylindrical body 111 is in an unfolded state, the two adjacent cylindrical parts 1112 are fastened and fixed by the buckle so that the two chutes are in an unfolded state (or unfolded state).

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the dehydration cylinder 110 may further include an axial direction of the cylinder body 111 (such as Figure 1 In some embodiments, the rotation axis 112 may be located on the cylinder 111 and extend in a direction away from the cylinder 111. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the rotating shaft 112 can be located on the bottom of the cylinder 111. In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 112 can be connected to the cylinder 111 (e.g., fixedly connected) or integrally formed. In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 112 can be driven by the mechanical energy storage component 120 (e.g., the main shaft 121) so that when the mechanical energy storage component 120 releases energy, it can drive the rotating shaft 112 to rotate, thereby driving the cylinder 111 to rotate to achieve dehydration.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 may include a main shaft 121 , an elastic band 122 and a plurality of struts 123 .

[0052] In some embodiments, the main shaft 121 can be connected (eg, fixedly connected) to the rotating shaft 112 . In some embodiments, the main shaft 121 can be integrally formed with the rotating shaft 112 , or the main shaft 121 can be part of the rotating shaft 112 .

[0053] In some embodiments, multiple pillars 123 can be arranged around the main axis 121 to form an arrangement path. Figure 2As shown, the plurality of pillars 123 can be arranged in a spiral arrangement with the main axis 121 as the center, forming a spiral arrangement path. In some embodiments, the dimensions (e.g., diameter, height, etc.) of the plurality of pillars 123 can be comparable. In the embodiments of this specification, comparable can mean that the difference does not exceed 5%, 10%, or 12%, etc. For example, the difference in the dimensions (e.g., diameter difference, height difference, etc.) of the plurality of pillars 123 can be no more than 10%.

[0054] In some embodiments, the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 may further include an energy storage box 124. One end of the main shaft 121 may pass through the energy storage box 124 and be connected to the rotating shaft 112. Both ends of the plurality of pillars 123 may be fixed in the energy storage box 124 respectively.

[0055] One end of the elastic band 122 can be fixed, and the other end can pass through the arrangement path formed by the plurality of pillars 123, be wound around and fixed on the main shaft 121. Figure 2 As shown, one end of the elastic band 122 can be fixed to point P of the energy storage box 124, and the other end can be fixed to the main shaft 121. The middle portion of the elastic band 122 can be wound along the arrangement path and can be wound around the main shaft 121. The multiple pillars 123 form an arrangement path for the elastic band 122 to be wound through, which can make the elastic band 122 longer in length, and further increase the maximum energy (e.g., elastic potential energy) that can be stored in the mechanical energy storage assembly 120.

[0056] In some embodiments, the width of the elastic band 122 can be smaller than the height of the main shaft 121 to ensure that the elastic band 122 can be wound around the main shaft 121 in an orderly reverse direction after fully releasing its elastic potential energy. In some embodiments, the width of the elastic band 122 can also be smaller than the height of the pillars 123 to facilitate the elastic band 122 being wound around the arrangement path formed by multiple pillars 123. In some embodiments, the width of the elastic band 122 can be in the range of 3 cm to 8 cm. In some embodiments, the width of the elastic band 122 can be in the range of 4 cm to 7 cm. In some embodiments, the width of the elastic band 122 can be in the range of 5 cm to 6 cm. In some embodiments, the width of the elastic band 122 can be 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, or 8 cm, etc.

[0057] In some embodiments, the original length of the elastic band 122 can be in the range of 10 cm to 20 cm. In some embodiments, the original length of the elastic band 122 can be in the range of 12 cm to 18 cm. In some embodiments, the original length of the elastic band 122 can be in the range of 14 cm to 16 cm. In some embodiments, the original length of the elastic band 122 can be 10 cm, 11 cm, 12 cm, 13 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm, 16 cm, 17 cm, 18 cm, 19 cm, or 20 cm, etc.

[0058] In some embodiments, the maximum length of the elastic band 122 after stretching can be 3-6 times the original length of the elastic band 122. In some embodiments, the maximum length of the elastic band 122 after stretching can be 4-5 times the original length of the elastic band 122. In some embodiments, the maximum length of the elastic band 122 after stretching can be 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, or 6 times the original length of the elastic band 122.

[0059] In some embodiments, the elastic coefficient of the elastic band 122 may be in the range of 10 N / m to 30 N / m. In some embodiments, the elastic coefficient of the elastic band 122 may be in the range of 15 N / m to 25 N / m. In some embodiments, the elastic coefficient of the elastic band 122 may be in the range of 20 N / m to 25 N / m. In some embodiments, the elastic coefficient of the elastic band 122 may be 10 N / m, 12 N / m, 15 N / m, 18 N / m, 20 N / m, 22 N / m, 25 N / m, 28 N / m, or 30 N / m, etc.

[0060] The maximum traction force generated by the elastic band 122 can be expressed as the maximum length L of the elastic band 122 after stretching. max The product of the difference between the original length L of the elastic band 122 and the elastic coefficient k of the elastic band 122, that is, F=k*(L max -L). The maximum elastic potential energy E of the elastic band 122 can be expressed as: E = 1 / 2*k*(L max -L) 2 .

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the distance between two radially adjacent turns of the spiral arrangement path of the elastic band 122 can be expressed as the difference in radius between the two adjacent turns of the spiral arrangement path with the main axis 121 as the center. Figure 2 As shown, the radius of the circle formed by the arrangement path closest to the main axis 121 (also known as the radius of the innermost circle of the arrangement path of the elastic band 122) is r1, and the radius of the circle adjacent to the circle formed by the arrangement path closest to the main axis 121 is r2. Similarly, the radius of the outermost circle of the arrangement path of the elastic band 122 can be expressed as r n It can be understood that the number of turns of the spiral arrangement path of the elastic band 122 is n. The spacing distance between two radially adjacent turns of the spiral arrangement path of the elastic band 122 can be expressed as (r i -r (i-1) ) or (r (i+1) -r i). Wherein, (i+1) is not greater than n. (i-1), i and (i+1) respectively represent the (i-1)th circle, the ith circle and the (i+1)th circle of the spiral arrangement path of the elastic band 122. (i-1) 、r i and r (i+1) They respectively represent the radius of the (i-1)th circle, the radius of the i-th circle, and the radius of the (i+1)th circle of the spiral arrangement path of the elastic band 122.

[0062] In some embodiments, the distances between radially adjacent turns of the elastic band 122 in the spiral arrangement path can be equal or unequal. In some embodiments, the distance between radially adjacent turns of the elastic band 122 in the spiral arrangement path can be in the range of 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm. In some embodiments, the distance between radially adjacent turns of the elastic band 122 in the spiral arrangement path can be in the range of 0.8 cm to 1.2 cm. In some embodiments, the distance between radially adjacent turns of the elastic band 122 in the spiral arrangement path can be in the range of 0.8 cm to 1 cm. In some embodiments, the distance between radially adjacent turns of the elastic band 122 in the spiral arrangement path can be 0.5 cm, 0.8 cm, 1 cm, 1.2 cm, 1.4 cm, 1.5 cm, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments, the number of pillars 123 in each circle of the spiral arrangement path may be in the range of 5-10. In some embodiments, the number of pillars 123 in each circle of the spiral arrangement path may be in the range of 6-9. In some embodiments, the number of pillars 123 in each circle of the spiral arrangement path may be in the range of 7-8. In some embodiments, the number of pillars 123 in each circle of the spiral arrangement path may be 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10, etc. In some embodiments, the number of pillars 123 in each circle of the spiral arrangement path may be equal or unequal. In the embodiments of this specification, a circle may represent a shape that is approximately 360°.

[0064] In some embodiments, the original length of the elastic band 122 can be in the range of 10 cm-20 cm, the maximum length of the elastic band 122 after stretching can be 3-6 times the original length of the elastic band 122, the elastic coefficient of the elastic band 122 can be in the range of 10 N / m-30 N / m, and the spacing distance between two radially adjacent circles of the spiral arrangement path of the elastic band 122 can be in the range of 0.5 cm-1.5 cm.

[0065] In some embodiments, the original length L of the elastic band 122 is related to the number of turns of the spiral arrangement path of the elastic band 122 and the radius r of the i-th turn of the spiral arrangement path of the elastic band 122. iThe relationship between them can be expressed as: L = 2πr1 + 2πr2 + ··· + 2πr i +···+2πr n +r1. Where (i+1) is not greater than n. r1, r2, r i and r n They respectively represent the radius of the first circle of the spiral arrangement path of the elastic band 122 (also known as the radius of the innermost circle of the arrangement path), the radius of the second circle, the radius of the i-th circle, and the radius of the n-th circle (also known as the radius of the outermost circle of the arrangement path).

[0066] By adjusting and coordinating the parameters of the elastic band 122 (for example, the original length, elastic coefficient, stretching length, and the spacing between two radially adjacent circles of the spiral arrangement path), it can be ensured that when the elastic potential energy of the elastic band 122 is released, the rotation speed of the cylinder 111 is large enough, the centrifugal force is large enough, and the rotation time of the cylinder 111 is long enough, thereby further improving the dehydration efficiency.

[0067] Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of an exemplary mechanical energy storage assembly according to other embodiments of this specification.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 may include a spring shaft 121 ′, a spring 122 ′, and a spring barrel 123 ′.

[0069] One end of the mainspring 122' can be connected (e.g., fixedly connected) to the mainspring barrel 123', while the other end can be wound around and connected to the mainspring shaft 121'. An energy input assembly 130 (e.g., ratchet component 131) is connected to the mainspring shaft 121' to rotate the mainspring 122' and store energy. The mainspring barrel 123' can be connected to the rotating shaft 112 to drive the rotating shaft 112 in rotation.

[0070] Energy input assembly 130 rotates spring shaft 121', which in turn drives spring 122', tightly wound around it, to store energy. When spring 122' releases energy, it drives barrel 123', which in turn rotates shaft 112, which in turn drives barrel 111 to achieve dehydration.

[0071] In some embodiments, the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 may further include a barrel buckle (not shown) for holding the barrel 123 ′ during energy storage and before energy release to prevent the barrel 123 ′ from moving and releasing energy prematurely.

[0072] The energy input component 130 is connected to the mechanical energy storage component 120 for transmitting energy to the mechanical energy storage component 120 .

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the energy input assembly 130 may include a ratchet component 131 and an energy input component 132 connected thereto.

[0074] In some embodiments, the ratchet component 131 may include a ratchet shaft 1311. The ratchet shaft 1311 may be connected to an end of the main shaft 121 away from the rotating axis 112. The energy input component 132 may be connected to an end of the ratchet shaft 1311 away from the main shaft 121. The energy input component 132 transmits energy to the main shaft 121 via the ratchet shaft 1311, allowing the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 to store energy.

[0075] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the energy input assembly 130 and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 can be arranged below the cylinder 111. For the specific structure of the energy input assembly 130 arranged below the cylinder 111, please refer to the specification. Figure 4 The relevant instructions will not be repeated here.

[0076] In some embodiments, the energy input component 130 and the mechanical energy storage component 120 can be arranged above the cylinder 111. For example, the rotating shaft 112 can be located on the cylinder cover 1113 and extend in a direction away from the cylinder 111. In some embodiments, the energy input component 132 can be a driving rod. In some embodiments, the energy input component 132 and the end of the ratchet shaft 1311 away from the main shaft 121 can be fixedly connected or movably connected (for example, detachably connected). For example, the energy input component 132 can be movably connected to the ratchet shaft 1311 through a movable component (for example, a screw and a nut connecting the energy input component 132 and the ratchet shaft 1311), so that the energy input component 132 can be stored parallel to the cylinder cover 1113, reducing the storage volume. The energy input component 132 rotates, driving the ratchet shaft 1311 to rotate, and further driving the main shaft 121 to rotate, so that the mechanical energy storage component 120 stores energy.

[0077] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the connection between an exemplary energy input component and a switch component according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0078] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the ratchet component 131 may further include a ratchet 1312 and a pawl 1313. The ratchet 1312 may be connected to the ratchet shaft 1311 (e.g., fixedly connected), and the pawl 1313 may engage between the teeth of the ratchet 1312. This arrangement may limit the energy input component 132 to only be able to rotate in one direction to input energy, and the input energy will not be lost because the energy input component 132 cannot rotate in the reverse direction. For example, Figure 4As shown, due to the limitation of the pawl 1313, the energy input component 132 can only input energy by rotating counterclockwise.

[0079] In some embodiments, the energy input assembly 130 may further include an energy input box 133 . The other end of the pawl 1313 may be disposed on the energy input box 133 .

[0080] In some embodiments, the ratchet 1312 can be connected (e.g., fixedly connected) to the end of the ratchet shaft 1311 away from the main shaft 121. For example, the ratchet 1312 can be fixedly sleeved on the end of the ratchet shaft 1311 away from the main shaft 121. Figure 1 As shown, a bearing 134 may be provided below the ratchet 1312 inside the energy input box 133 to reduce the friction force when the ratchet 1312 rotates, thereby further improving the energy input efficiency of the energy input assembly 130 .

[0081] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the energy input assembly 130 and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 can be connected via a switch component 140. For example, the switch component 140 can be movably disposed between the energy input assembly 130 and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120. When the switch component 140 is away from the energy input assembly 130 and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 (in an open state), the energy input assembly 130 and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 are in a disconnected state. When the switch component 140 is close to the energy input assembly 130 and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 (in a closed state), the energy input assembly 130 and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 are in a connected state.

[0082] In some embodiments, the switch component 140 may include snap-in holes respectively arranged on the energy input component 130 (e.g., the ratchet shaft 1311) and the mechanical energy storage component 120 (e.g., the main shaft 121) and snap-in parts that can be snap-connected with the snap-in holes on the energy input component 130 and the mechanical energy storage component 120.

[0083] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the switch component 140 may include a switch engaging portion 141. In some embodiments, the switch component 140 may further include a movable rod 142. The switch engaging portion 141 and the movable rod 142 may be connected or integrally formed. At least a portion of the movable rod 142 may be located outside the energy input box 133.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, the end of the ratchet shaft 1311 near the main shaft 121 can be provided with a ratchet shaft engaging portion 1314. The end of the main shaft 121 near the ratchet shaft 1311 is provided with a main shaft engaging portion (not shown). The switch engaging portion 141 engages with the ratchet shaft engaging portion 1314 and the main shaft engaging portion. When the switch component 140 is close to the energy input assembly 130 and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 (in the closed state), the switch engaging portion 141 engages with the ratchet shaft 1311 (e.g., ratchet shaft engaging portion 1314) and the end of the main shaft 121 near the ratchet shaft 1311 (e.g., the main shaft engaging portion), so that the ratchet shaft 1311 is connected to the main shaft 121.

[0085] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the dehydration device 100 may further include a housing 150. The cylinder 111 may be located in the housing 150. Figure 1 As shown, the housing 150 may be provided with a drain pipe 151 for draining the water dehydrated from the dehydration holes 1111 on the barrel 111. In some embodiments, the drain pipe 151 may be located below the barrel 111.

[0086] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the housing 150 may include a plurality of axially extending portions of the dehydration barrel 110 (eg, Figure 1 The shell components 152 are arranged in the direction (as shown by "Y" in the figure). Two adjacent shell components 152 among the multiple shell components 152 can be foldably connected to reduce the storage volume and facilitate carrying. In some embodiments, two adjacent shell components 152 can be foldably connected by a foldable component. For example, two adjacent shell components 152 can be foldably connected by soft rubber (for example, butyl rubber). In some embodiments, the foldability between two adjacent shell components 152 can be the same as or different from the foldability between two adjacent barrel components 1112.

[0087] In some embodiments, the housing 150 may be connected to or integrally formed with the energy storage housing 124 and the energy input housing 133. Figure 1 As shown, the energy storage box 124 and the energy input box 133 may also be part of the housing 150 .

[0088] In some embodiments, the height of the shell component 152 can be greater than the height of the cylinder component 1112. In some embodiments, the sum of the height of the energy storage box 124, the height of the energy input box 133 and the height of one cylinder component 1112 can be equal to the height of one shell component 152. In some embodiments, the height of one shell component 152 can be an integer multiple (for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, etc.) of the height of one cylinder component 1112 to facilitate storage and folding. For example, Figure 1As shown, the height of one shell component 152 can be three times the height of one barrel component 1112. This arrangement can make the height of the dehydration device 100 after storage and folding approximately equal to the height of one shell component 152, saving space.

[0089] Before use, if Figure 1 As shown, close the switch component 140 and bring the switch component 140 close to the energy input assembly 130 and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 (the switch engaging portion 141 engages with the ratchet shaft engaging portion 1314 and the main shaft engaging portion). Rotate the energy input component 132 until it is in the same straight line as the ratchet shaft 1311. Rotate the energy input component 132 counterclockwise until it cannot rotate. The energy input component 132 drives the ratchet shaft 1311 to rotate, the ratchet shaft 1311 drives the switch component 140 to rotate, the switch component 140 drives the main shaft 121 to rotate, the main shaft 121 rotates so that the elastic band 122 is wrapped around the main shaft 121, and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 stores energy. Then, retract the energy input component 132 and rotate it until it is parallel to the cylinder cover 1113. Unfold the cylinder 111 and the housing 150, and place the dehydration device 100 on a plane. Place the object to be dehydrated into the cylinder 111 and cover the cylinder cover 1113. Open the switch component 140, moving it away from the energy input assembly 130 and the mechanical energy storage assembly 120, and disconnect the ratchet shaft 1311 from the main shaft 121. The mechanical energy storage assembly 120 releases energy, pulling the main shaft 121 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 112 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 112 drives the cylinder 111 to rotate, so that the dehydrated material in the cylinder 111 is dehydrated under the action of centrifugal force.

[0090] During the process of releasing energy from the mechanical energy storage component 120, initially, the elastic band 122 is wrapped around the main shaft 121. The radius of the main shaft 121 plus the elastic band 122 is larger. At this time, it is a force-saving lever, which can drive the cylinder 111 to rotate faster with greater traction. After the main shaft 121 rotates for a certain period of time, the elastic band 122 wrapped around the main shaft 121 gradually decreases, and the main shaft 121 will rotate at a faster speed. When there is no elastic band 122 on the main shaft 121, the main shaft 121 still rotates at a faster speed by inertia. At this time, the elastic band 122 will be wrapped around the main shaft 121 in the opposite direction to realize energy storage. The energy storage and release are repeated until the energy is completely lost. The relationship between the centrifugal force and the elongation length of the elastic band and time during the dehydration process of the dehydration device 100 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5 It can be seen that in the process of repeatedly storing and releasing energy, as time goes on, the maximum elongation length of the elastic band 122 gradually decreases (or it can be understood that the number of turns of the elastic band 122 wrapped around the main shaft 121 gradually decreases), and the maximum centrifugal force of the cylinder 111 gradually decreases (or it can be understood that the maximum rotation speed of the cylinder 111 gradually decreases).

[0091] The length of the elastic band 122 is about 4 meters, and the maximum length is about 12 meters. When the elastic band 122 is stretched to its maximum length, the tension is about 100N (20 pounds), and the elastic potential energy reaches 400N·m. The force required to rotate the energy input component 132 gradually increases from 0N to 50N (10 pounds), and a total of about 45 rotations are required. When the elastic potential energy of the elastic band 122 is fully released, the rotation speed of the cylinder 111 reaches its maximum value, and the centrifugal force reaches 8000N (kg·m / s 2 The rotational speed of drum 111 is inversely proportional to the mass of the material to be dehydrated. Assuming a total weight of approximately 2 kg, drum 111 can reach a maximum rotational speed of 1910 rpm, approximately twice that of a conventional washing machine (approximately 1000 rpm). Assuming a transmission efficiency of 80%, drum 111 can still reach a maximum rotational speed of 1.5 times that of a conventional washing machine.

[0092] It should be noted that the above description of the dehydration device 100 is for illustration and explanation only and does not limit the scope of application of this specification. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and changes can be made to the dehydration device 100 under the guidance of this specification. However, these modifications and changes are still within the scope of this specification. For example, the mechanical energy storage assembly 120 may not include multiple pillars 123. The elastic band 122 can be directly wound around the main shaft 121 without passing through the arrangement path.

[0093] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure of an exemplary solar clothes drying assembly according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0094] In some embodiments, the dehydration device 100 may further include a solar clothes drying component 160, which utilizes solar energy to dry the dehydrated clothes. Figure 6 As shown, the solar clothes drying assembly 160 may include a heat absorbing bag component 161 and a reflective component 162 .

[0095] The heat absorbing bag component 161 is used to place items to be dried (e.g. clothes after dehydration). Figure 6 As shown, the heat absorption bag component 161 may include a heat absorption bag body 1611 and a heat absorption bag top 1612 connected to each other.

[0096] In some embodiments, the heat absorption bag body 1611 may be made of a transparent insulating material. In some embodiments, the transparent insulating material may include, but is not limited to, transparent insulating polyvinyl chloride (PVC), transparent polycarbonate (PC) film, etc. In some embodiments, the interior of the heat absorption bag body 1611 may be coated with a heat absorbing material. In some embodiments, the heat absorbing material may include, but is not limited to, carbon black, etc.

[0097] In some embodiments, the heat absorbing bag top 1612 may be made of a breathable material to allow the evaporated water vapor from the dried material to escape. In some embodiments, the breathable material may include, but is not limited to, cotton, fabric, etc. In some embodiments, the heat absorbing bag top 1612 may also be made of an airtight material with holes to facilitate the escape of evaporated water vapor from the dried material.

[0098] Figure 7 It is a schematic structural diagram of an exemplary reflective component according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0099] The reflecting component 162 can reflect sunlight to the heat absorbing bag component 161, thereby increasing the temperature of the heat absorbing bag component 161 and further evaporating the moisture on the object to be dried.

[0100] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the reflective component 162 may include a reflective surface 1621 and a suspension support frame 1622 .

[0101] Reflective surface 1621 can reflect solar energy into a reflective area (e.g., onto heat absorbing bag component 161). In some embodiments, reflective surface 1621 can be polyester coated with silver aluminum film, which provides high reflective performance. In some embodiments, reflective surface 1621 can be square, rectangular, circular, sector-shaped, or conical.

[0102] The suspension support frame 1622 can be located within the reflective area of ​​the reflective surface 1621. The suspension support frame 1622 can suspend and support the heat absorption bag component 161, so that the heat absorption bag component 161 is also located within the reflective area of ​​the reflective surface 1621. In some embodiments, one end of the suspension support frame 1622 can be connected to the reflective surface 1621 (e.g., fixedly or detachably connected), and the other end can suspend and support the heat absorption bag component 161. In some embodiments, the suspension support frame 1622 can be located in the center area of ​​the reflective surface 1621. In some embodiments, the material of the suspension support frame 1622 can include at least one of aluminum alloy or carbon fiber.

[0103] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the reflective component 162 may further include a reflective surface support frame 1623 for supporting the reflective surface 1621. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. Figure 7As shown, the reflective component 162 may further include a connecting frame 1624 for connecting the suspension support frame 1622 and the emitting surface support frame 1623. In some embodiments, the ends of the connecting frame 1624 may be detachably connected to the suspension support frame 1622 and the emitting surface support frame 1623 respectively via connectors (not shown in the figure, for example, snaps). In some embodiments, the connecting frame 1624 and the suspension support frame 1622 may be slidably connected. In some embodiments, the connecting frame 1624 may be a telescopic rod.

[0104] In some embodiments, the deployment angle can be understood as the angle between the suspension support frame 1622 and the emitting surface 1621 or the emitting surface support frame 1623 (e.g. Figure 6 In some embodiments, the deployment angle can also be interpreted as the angle between the connecting frame 1624 and the suspension support frame 1622 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 In some embodiments, the expansion angle of the reflective surface 1621 is adjustable. For example, the expansion angle of the reflective surface 1621 can be adjusted by adjusting at least one of the length of the connecting frame 1624, the position of the connection point between the connecting frame 1624 and the emitting surface support frame 1623, or the position of the connection point between the connecting frame 1624 and the suspension support frame 1622. In some embodiments, by adjusting the expansion angle of the reflective surface 1621, the reflective surface area of ​​the reflective surface 1621 can be adjusted between 0 and 2 m 2 Varies within the range.

[0105] In some embodiments, a parasol or the like may be used as the reflective member 162 .

[0106] In some embodiments, a first temperature sensor may be provided within the heat absorption bag 161 to detect the temperature within the heat absorption bag 161. In some embodiments, the solar clothes drying assembly 160 may also include a first safety component (e.g., an alarm), which may be signal-connected to the first temperature sensor. When the temperature feedback from the first temperature sensor exceeds a first temperature threshold, the first safety component issues an alarm to prevent excessive temperatures from damaging the items being dried.

[0107] In some embodiments, the solar clothes drying assembly 160 may further include a driving component (not shown in the figure) for driving the connecting frame 1624 to slide on the suspension support frame 1622. In some embodiments, the driving component may be connected to the connecting frame 1624 (for example, fixedly connected or detachably connected). In some embodiments, the driving component may also be connected to the heat absorption bag component 161 to drive the heat absorption bag component 161 to move. In some embodiments, the driving component may also be connected to a hanging member (not shown in the figure) that suspends the heat absorption bag component 161 to drive the hanging member to move and further move the heat absorption bag component 161. In some embodiments, the driving component may be a micro motor with a battery to facilitate carrying for outdoor use. In some embodiments, the driving component may include but is not limited to a stepper motor or a servo motor.

[0108] In some embodiments, the solar clothes drying assembly 160 may include a reflective surface adjustment assembly. The reflective surface adjustment assembly may adjust the expansion angle of the reflective surface 1621 based on the feedback from the first temperature sensor. In some embodiments, the reflective surface adjustment assembly may have signal connections with the first temperature sensor and the driving component respectively. The first temperature sensor sends the detected temperature information to the reflective surface adjustment assembly. Based on the temperature information, the reflective surface adjustment assembly may control the driving component to drive the connecting frame 1624 to slide on the suspension support frame 1622 to adjust the expansion angle of the reflective surface 1621 (the angle between the connecting frame 1624 and the suspension support frame 1622). For example, when the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor is greater than the second temperature threshold, the reflective surface adjustment assembly may control the driving component to drive the connecting frame 1624 on the suspension support frame 1622 in a direction away from the reflective surface 1621 (such as Figure 7 For example, when the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor is lower than the third temperature threshold, the reflective surface adjustment component can control the driving component to drive the connecting frame 1624 on the suspension support frame 1622 to move closer to the reflective surface 1621 (as shown in the direction of "b"). Figure 7 Slide in the direction shown by “a” in the figure to increase the expansion angle of the reflecting surface 1621.

[0109] In some embodiments, the reflective surface adjustment component may include a central processing unit (CPU), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), an application-specific instruction set processor (ASIP), a physical processing unit (PPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic device (PLD), a controller, a microcontroller unit, a reduced instruction set computer (RISC), a microprocessor, etc., or any combination thereof.

[0110] like Figure 8 As shown, the solar radiation intensity is about 500W / m2 (approximately the solar intensity at noon in spring and autumn), the reflective surface 1621 is placed perpendicular to the sunlight, and the total energy conversion rate of the solar clothes drying component 160 is about 70%, and the energy loss caused by the energy transmission to the clothes to be dried (for example, clothes) is about 50%. If the clothes to be dried contain about 0.5kg of water, the energy required to completely evaporate this water is 0.5kg×2260kJ / kg=1130kJ or about 315Wh. If the clothes to be dried need to be dried within 1 hour, the required surface area of ​​the reflective surface 1621 is about 1.8m 2 .

[0111] Figure 9 Schematic diagram of an exemplary chemical drying assembly according to some embodiments of the present specification.

[0112] In some embodiments, the dehydration device 100 may further include a chemical drying component 170. Figure 9 As shown, the chemical drying assembly 170 may include a heating component 171 and a suspension component 172 .

[0113] The heating element 171 can be used to provide heat energy. In some embodiments, the heating element 171 can burn a chemical fuel (e.g., propane, butane, etc.) through a burner to convert chemical energy into heat energy. The chemical fuel can be stored in a gas tank.

[0114] The hanging part 172 can be used to hang or spread out the objects to be dried to increase the heating area of ​​the objects to be dried and improve the drying efficiency. When dehydrating, the heating part 171 can be located inside the hanging part 172. In some embodiments, Figure 9 As shown, the suspension member 172 may include a plurality of suspension rods 1721. At least a portion of each suspension rod 1721 may be arc-shaped. Figure 9As shown, it can be similar to a cone. In some embodiments, the hanging rod 1721 can be a foldable rod. When stored, the multiple hanging rods 1721 in the hanging component 172 can be folded to save storage space. In some embodiments, the chemical drying assembly 170 can also include a connecting rope 1723. The multiple hanging rods 1721 can be detachably connected to the connecting rope 1723. The locations on the connecting rope 1723 where the multiple hanging rods 1721 are connected can be spaced apart along the length of the connecting rope 1723. In some embodiments, the chemical drying assembly 170 can also include a shaping buckle 1722. The shaping buckle 1722 can be detachably connected to the multiple hanging rods 1721. The shaping buckle 1722 can arrange the multiple hanging rods 1721 around the heating component 171. In some embodiments, the shaping buckle 1722 can be annular. The shaping buckle 1722 can be provided with multiple slots along the circumference for snapping into the hanging rods 1721. In some embodiments, the shaping buckle 1722 can also fix the connecting rope 1723 and the hanging rod 1721 at the position where the connecting rope 1723 and the hanging rod 1721 are connected.

[0115] In some embodiments, at least one of the plurality of suspension rods 1721 can also be used as a walking stick. In some embodiments, the plurality of suspension rods 1721 can also be tied together with a connecting rope 1723 and used as a walking stick.

[0116] In some embodiments, the chemical drying assembly 170 may further include a gyroscope sensor and / or a second temperature sensor. In some embodiments, the gyroscope sensor may be located on the heating component 171 to monitor the tilt angle of the heating component 171. In some embodiments, the second temperature sensor may be located within the suspension component 172 to monitor the temperature within the suspension component 172.

[0117] In some embodiments, the chemical drying assembly 170 may further include a second safety component (e.g., an alarm), which may be signal-connected to the gyroscope sensor and / or the second temperature sensor. The second safety component may issue an alarm when the tilt angle feedback from the gyroscope sensor exceeds a tilt angle threshold, and / or the temperature feedback from the second temperature sensor exceeds a fourth temperature threshold.

[0118] Figure 10 Schematic diagram of the structure of an exemplary water-absorbing and drying assembly according to some embodiments of this specification.

[0119] In some embodiments, the dehydration device 100 may further include a water absorption and drying component 180. Figure 10 As shown, the water absorbing and drying clothes assembly 180 may include a first water absorbing agent layer 181 , a second water absorbing agent layer 182 and a heating agent layer 183 which are stacked.

[0120] In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the first water absorbent layer 181 may be higher than the water absorption rate of the second water absorbent layer 182. The maximum water absorption capacity of the second water absorbent layer 182 may be higher than the maximum water absorption capacity of the first water absorbent layer 181. The first water absorbent layer 181 may be located above the second water absorbent layer 182. The heating agent layer 183 may be located above the first water absorbent layer 181 or below the second water absorbent layer 182.

[0121] In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the first water absorbent layer 181 may be in the range of 30% / min-100% / min. This can be understood as the water absorption rate of the first water absorbent layer 181 being 30%-100% of the weight of the first water absorbent layer 181 absorbed per minute. In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the first water absorbent layer 181 may be in the range of 40% / min-90% / min. In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the first water absorbent layer 181 may be in the range of 50% / min-80% / min. In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the first water absorbent layer 181 may be in the range of 60% / min-70% / min. In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the first water absorbent layer 181 may be 30% / min, 40% / min, 50% / min, 60% / min, 70% / min, 80% / min, 90% / min, or 100% / min, etc.

[0122] In some embodiments, the maximum water absorption capacity of the first water absorbent layer 181 may be greater than 30% of the weight of the first water absorbent layer 181. In some embodiments, the maximum water absorption capacity of the first water absorbent layer 181 may be greater than 40% of the weight of the first water absorbent layer 181. In some embodiments, the maximum water absorption capacity of the first water absorbent layer 181 may be greater than 50% of the weight of the first water absorbent layer 181.

[0123] In some embodiments, the first water-absorbing agent layer 181 may include at least one of molecular sieves or silica gel. The first water-absorbing agent layer 181 is used to quickly absorb moisture on the surface of the object to be dehydrated.

[0124] In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the second water absorbent layer 182 may be in the range of 1% / min-100% / min. This can be understood as the water absorption rate of the second water absorbent layer 182 absorbing 1%-100% of the weight of the second water absorbent layer 182 per minute. In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the second water absorbent layer 182 may be in the range of 10% / min-90% / min. In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the second water absorbent layer 182 may be in the range of 20% / min-80% / min. In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the second water absorbent layer 182 may be in the range of 30% / min-70% / min. In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the second water absorbent layer 182 may be in the range of 40% / min-60% / min. In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the second water absorbent layer 182 can be 1% / min, 10% / min, 20% / min, 30% / min, 40% / min, 50% / min, 60% / min, 70% / min, 80% / min, 90% / min or 100% / min, etc.

[0125] In some embodiments, the maximum water absorption capacity of the second water absorbent layer 182 may be greater than 30,000% of the weight of the second water absorbent layer 182. In some embodiments, the maximum water absorption capacity of the second water absorbent layer 182 may be greater than 40,000% of the weight of the second water absorbent layer 182. In some embodiments, the maximum water absorption capacity of the second water absorbent layer 182 may be greater than 50,000% of the weight of the second water absorbent layer 182.

[0126] In some embodiments, the second water-absorbing agent layer 182 may include a water-absorbing resin. The second water-absorbing agent layer 182 can absorb water several to several hundred times its own weight while maintaining its own structural stability.

[0127] In some embodiments, the heating agent layer 183 may include at least one of iron powder, aluminum powder, or calcium oxide. The heating agent layer 183 reacts chemically with oxygen and water in the air, and the heat released by the chemical reaction can accelerate the evaporation of water.

[0128] When the article to be dried (or clothing after preliminary dehydration) is placed or wrapped on the water-absorbing drying assembly 180, the first absorbent layer 181 quickly absorbs most of the moisture from the article's surface. When the first absorbent layer 181 approaches saturation, the second absorbent layer 182 continues to absorb residual moisture from the article and expands as it absorbs water. As the water absorption process progresses, the heating layer 183 reacts chemically with oxygen or water molecules in the air, generating heat. This heat not only promotes the escape of moisture from the article but also accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the first and second absorbent layers 181, 182, thereby achieving a rapid drying effect.

[0129] In some embodiments, the object to be dried can be pressed to increase the water absorption rate of the first water absorbing agent layer 181 and the second water absorbing agent layer 182. In some embodiments, the first water absorbing agent layer 181 and the second water absorbing agent layer 182 can be restored to a dry state by heating or drying them in the sun for reuse.

[0130] In some embodiments, the water-absorbing and drying clothes assembly 180 can be placed in a packaging bag. In some embodiments, the packaged water-absorbing and drying clothes assembly 180 can also be vacuumed to prevent moisture and air from entering and causing the water-absorbing and drying clothes assembly 180 to fail.

[0131] In some embodiments, after dehydration is completed in the dehydration barrel 110 , the water absorption and drying assembly 180 can be placed on the dehydrated articles to be dried to further absorb water and dry the articles.

[0132] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the dehydration device 100 may further include an upper cover 153. The upper cover 153 may be located on the outer shell 150. The upper cover 153 may be detachably connected to the outer shell 150. In some embodiments, the upper cover 153 may be provided with a clamping mechanism (not shown in the figure) and a pushing mechanism (not shown in the figure) connected to the clamping mechanism.
