[0021] When the lighting panel is in the first position, it blocks the front side of the drying module; when the lighting panel moves from the first position to the second position, it leaves the front side of the drying module, and the drying module can provide hot air flow to the clothes drying area below.

[0022] A further preferred technical solution of the present invention is: a fixing plate is fastened to the front side of the driving device and the drying module, and the fixing plate is provided with a vent for the airflow of the drying module to pass through;

[0023] The lighting lamp panel is connected to the front side of the fixing plate through a driving mechanism.

[0025] Another preferred topic: A method for starting a hidden drying system, comprising the following steps:

[0026] (1) A concealed drying system for a clothes drying machine is provided, the system comprising a fixed main unit and a liftable drying rod; the main unit comprises a housing, a power device, a drying module, a fixing plate and a lighting panel; the power device drives the lifting and lowering of the drying rod;

[0027] The housing includes a bottom plate and a peripheral side plate, and forms a concave cavity;

[0028] The power device and the drying module are mounted on the bottom plate in the cavity, the fixing plate is fastened to the front side of the driving device and the drying module, and the fixing plate is provided with a vent for the airflow of the drying module to pass through;

[0029] The lighting panel is connected to the front side of the fixing plate via a driving mechanism; and in an initial state, the lighting panel is in a first position, shielding the front side of the drying module;

[0030] (2) starting the driving mechanism to move the lighting panel from the first position to the second position; the lighting panel moves away from the front side of the drying module to expose the drying module;

[0031] The drying module is started to provide hot air flow to the clothes drying area below, thereby drying the clothes. (3) The driving mechanism is started to move the lighting panel from the second position to the first position, and the lighting panel is again shielded from the front side of the drying module.

[0032] A further preferred technical solution of the present invention is: in step (2), the lighting lamp board is located in the center of the housing, and the lower surface of the lighting lamp board is flush with the lower surface of the peripheral side plate of the housing;

[0033] Furthermore, in step (2), when the lighting panel moves from the first position to the second position under the action of the driving mechanism, a pre-start switch is triggered at the same time, and the pre-start switch connects to the control circuit of the drying module, so that the drying module starts and provides hot air flow to the clothes drying area below; when the lighting panel leaves the second position, the pre-start switch is turned off, so that the drying module stops heating;

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: the lighting panel is connected to the front side of the fixed plate through a driving mechanism, and can be moved between a first position and a second position. When the lighting panel is in the first position, it perfectly blocks the front side of the drying module, so that the drying module is hidden when not in use, maintaining the overall beauty and simplicity of the clothes drying machine. This hidden design not only avoids the visual clutter that may be caused by exposing the drying module to the outside, but also protects the drying module from dust and debris, extending the service life of the equipment. When the drying function is needed, the driving mechanism is started, driving the lighting panel to move to the second position, exposing the drying module so that it can provide hot air flow to the clothes drying area below. This technical means achieves efficient switching of functions without affecting the aesthetics, taking into account both aesthetics and practicality.

[0036] In addition, the concealed drying system for the clothes dryer of the present invention achieves a high degree of functional integration by integrating the power unit, drying module, fixing plate, and lighting panel into the concave cavity of the main unit. This technical approach not only enables the clothes dryer to have the dual functions of raising and lowering the drying rod and drying clothes, but also optimizes the utilization of the internal space through a reasonable layout. The power unit and drying module are installed on the bottom plate in the concave cavity, and the fixing plate is fastened to their front side, forming a compact and efficient core functional area. This integrated optimization method not only improves the overall performance of the clothes dryer, but also reduces the external space occupied, making the clothes dryer more flexible and convenient during installation and use.

[0037] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a motor, gears, and a rotating arm. Driven by the motor, the gears mesh with the curved teeth on the rotating arm, achieving smooth movement of the lighting panel. This mechanical transmission method not only ensures the precision and stability of the lighting panel during movement, but also improves the reliability and durability of the system. Furthermore, multiple linkage arms are installed between the fixed plate and the lighting panel, further enhancing the stability of the lighting panel during movement and preventing shaking or deformation caused by single-point force.

[0051] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely illustrative and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] It should be noted that like reference numerals denote like items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it will not be further defined or explained in the subsequent drawings.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the concealed drying system 100 of the clothes drying machine of the present invention is designed to provide users with an efficient and aesthetically pleasing clothes drying experience. The system includes a fixed main unit 10 and a liftable drying rod 20. The main unit 10 is the core component, fixed to the ceiling, providing stable support and power for the entire system.

[0054] The main unit 10 has a sophisticated internal structure, comprising key components such as the housing 11, power unit 12, drying module 13, fixing plate 14, and lighting panel 15. As the main unit's outer shell, housing 11 not only protects the internal components but also, through its unique design, provides the foundation for the aesthetics of the entire system.

[0055] The power device 12 is installed in the concave cavity of the shell 11. Its main function is to drive the lifting and lowering of the drying rod 20. Through precise mechanical transmission, it ensures that the drying rod 20 is stable and reliable during the lifting process, meeting the user's needs for drying clothes at different heights.

[0056] The drying module 13 is also mounted within the recessed cavity of the housing 11, preferably adjacent to the power unit 12. Its primary function is to provide a hot airflow to accelerate the drying process of clothing. A fixing plate 14 is secured to the front of the power unit 12 and drying module 13, providing support and fixation. Ventilation openings 141 are provided on the fixing plate, serving as air passages for the drying module 13 and ensuring smooth flow of hot air from the drying module 13 to the clothing area.

[0057] It should be noted that the lighting panel 15 is connected to the front side of the fixed plate 14 via a driving mechanism, which not only provides a lighting function but also realizes the hiding and exposure of the drying module 13 through its unique movable design.

[0058] When drying is not required, the lighting panel 15 is in the first position, blocking the front side of the drying module 13, making the entire clothes drying machine look neat and beautiful; when clothes need to be dried, the lighting panel 15 moves to the second position under the action of the driving mechanism, exposing the drying module 13 so that it can work normally.

[0059] The concealed setting of this embodiment not only solves the problem in the prior art that the drying module is exposed to the outside, affecting the appearance and posing a safety hazard, but also improves the functionality and practicality of the clothes drying machine through its unique layout.

[0060] More specifically, in the concealed drying system 100 for clothes drying machines, the housing 11 of the main unit 10 is composed of a bottom plate 111 and surrounding side panels 112, which together form an internal cavity 113. The power unit 12 and drying module 13 are precisely mounted on the bottom plate 111 within the cavity 113, ensuring the stability and functionality of the entire system.

[0061] To further enhance structural stability and properly guide airflow, a fixing plate 14 is fastened to the front sides of the power unit 12 and the drying module 13. These vents 141 in the fixing plate 14 not only provide a smooth passage for the hot airflow from the drying module 13, but also ensure that the airflow can flow evenly to the clothing area, thereby achieving an efficient drying effect.

[0062] Preferably, in the hidden drying system 100 of the clothes drying machine, the lighting panel 15 is cleverly connected to the front side of the fixing plate 14 through a precise driving mechanism 30. The key to this technical solution is that the driving mechanism 30 can accurately control the movement of the lighting panel 15 between two specific positions.

[0063] like Figure 3 、 Figure 6 As shown, when the lighting panel 15 is in the first position, it perfectly blocks the front side of the drying module 13, so that the drying module 13 is hidden when not in use, thereby maintaining the overall beauty and simplicity of the clothes drying machine. When the drying function is needed, the driving mechanism 30 is started, driving the lighting panel 15 to move smoothly from the first position to the second position, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 During this process, the lighting panel 15 gradually moves away from the front of the drying module 13, providing a path for the hot air from the drying module 13 to flow smoothly to the clothes drying area below, thereby quickly drying the clothes. This innovative design not only improves the functionality of the clothes drying machine but also ensures its aesthetics when the drying function is not in use, perfectly balancing practicality and aesthetics.

[0064] Preferably, the power unit 12, drying module 13, fixing plate 14 and lighting panel 15 are located in the central area of ​​the shell cavity 113, thereby forming a compact and efficient core functional area. This layout not only optimizes space utilization, but also ensures smoother coordination between the various components. At the same time, an annular cavity 114 is cleverly designed around the shell cavity 113. When the drying rod 20 rises, it can accurately fall into this annular cavity 114. This design not only provides stable support for the drying rod 20, but also avoids interference between the drying rod 20 and the components of the core functional area during the lifting process, thereby ensuring the stable operation and long-term reliability of the entire system.

[0065] Preferably, if Figure 6 As shown, when the lighting panel 15 is in the first position, it is located in the center of the housing 11, and the lower surface of the lighting panel 15 is flush with the lower surface t of the peripheral side panel 112 of the housing 11. This allows the clothes drying machine to maintain its overall aesthetics and simplicity without affecting the normal use of the lighting function.

[0066] Furthermore, when the drying function needs to be activated, the driving mechanism 30 plays a key role. Figure 7 As shown, under the precise control of the drive mechanism 30, the lighting panel 15 begins to move. It first moves downward a certain distance, then moves to the side a certain distance, and finally reaches the second position. During this process, the side wall of the lighting panel 15 is vertically aligned with the first side wall b of the shell 11. This movement mechanism not only cleverly exposes the drying module 13, enabling it to provide hot air flow to the clothes drying area below, but also ensures the smoothness and reliability of the entire movement process. With this technical means, the conversion of the lighting panel 15 between the two positions not only realizes the switching of functions, but also maintains the stability and aesthetics of the overall structure of the clothes drying machine.

[0067] Preferably, the fixing plate 14 and the lighting panel 15 have the same area. This ensures a good structural compatibility between the fixing plate 14 and the lighting panel 15. When the lighting panel 15 is in the first position, shielding the front of the drying module 13, the fixing plate 14 and the lighting panel 15 have the same area, resulting in a smooth and seamless front surface.

[0068] In the hidden drying system 100 of the clothes drying machine, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the drive mechanism 30 is a key component for moving the lighting panel 15. The drive mechanism 30 primarily comprises at least one motor 31, a gear 32, and a rotating arm 33. The motor 31 serves as a power source, and power is transmitted through the gear 32 on its output shaft 311 meshing with the arcuate teeth 34 on the rotating arm 33.

[0069] The first end of the rotating arm 33 is pivotally connected to the back of the lighting panel 15, while the second end is pivotally connected to the outside of the fixed plate 14. This ensures the stability and precision of the lighting panel 15 during movement. When the motor 31 is activated, the meshing of the gear 32 and the curved teeth 34 drives the rotating arm 33 to rotate, thereby moving the lighting panel 15 from the first position to the second position, thereby exposing and concealing the drying module 13.

[0070] like Figure 8 As shown, to further enhance the stability of the lighting panel 15 during movement, multiple linkage arms 36 are provided between the fixed plate 14 and the lighting panel 15. One end of each linkage arm 36 is pivotally connected to the back of the lighting panel 15, and the other end is pivotally connected to the outside of the fixed plate 14. Through this technical means, the linkage arms 36 can effectively disperse and balance the forces generated by the lighting panel 15 during movement, ensuring smooth movement and avoiding shaking or deformation caused by single-point force.

[0071] On the back of the lighting panel 15, a connecting base v1 is provided with a pivot hole v2. A rotating shaft v3 securely connects the linkage arm 36 to the connecting base v1 through the pivot hole v2. This connection not only improves structural stability but also facilitates installation and maintenance. This ensures a more secure connection between the linkage arm 36 and the lighting panel 15, enabling smooth and precise movement of the lighting panel 15 when driven by the motor 31.

[0072] This drive mechanism 30, based on this technology, not only ensures smooth transitions between the two positions of the lighting panel 15, but also improves the reliability and service life of the entire system. Through the coordinated operation of the motor 31, gear 32, rotating arm 33, and linkage arm 36, the lighting panel 15 can precisely move between the first and second positions, thereby concealing and revealing the drying module 13, meeting user needs in different scenarios.

[0073] The present invention also preferably includes a pre-start switch; the lighting panel 15 in the second position triggers the pre-start switch, energizing the control circuit of the drying module 13. When the lighting panel 15 moves to the second position, the pre-start switch is triggered, automatically energizing the control circuit of the drying module 13, enabling instant activation of the drying function. This technical approach not only improves user convenience but also ensures that the drying module 13 quickly enters operation after exposure, reducing user waiting time and improving the overall efficiency of the clothes drying machine.

[0074] Preferably, the drying module 13 includes a motor, a blower and a heating module. The motor provides power to the blower, which draws in and accelerates air, while the heating module heats the air to form a hot air flow.

[0075] The method for activating the concealed drying system includes the following steps: To activate the concealed drying system of the clothes drying machine, the drive mechanism 30 is first activated, causing the lighting panel 15 to smoothly move from a first position to a second position. During this process, the lighting panel 15 gradually moves away from the front side of the drying module 13, fully exposing it and preparing for the activation of the drying module 13.

[0076] When the lighting panel 15 reaches the second position, its lower surface is flush with the lower surface of the peripheral side panel 112 of the housing 11 and is located at the exact center of the housing 11. At this time, the pre-start switch 40 is preferably triggered simultaneously, which connects the control circuit of the drying module 13, causing the drying module 13 to start quickly and provide hot air flow to the clothes drying area below, thereby achieving efficient drying of clothes.

[0077] When the drying function needs to be stopped, the drive mechanism 30 is reactivated, causing the lighting panel 15 to smoothly return from the second position to the first position, where it is again shielded from the front of the drying module 13. Preferably, the pre-start switch 40 is simultaneously turned off, disconnecting the control circuit of the drying module 13 and stopping heating. This ensures that the entire system remains aesthetically pleasing and safe in its non-operating state. During the return of the lighting panel 15 to the first position, its sidewall aligns with the first sidewall of the housing 11, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the system.

[0078] Preferably, in this embodiment, to achieve smooth and precise movement of the lighting panel 15, the rotating arm 33 and the linkage arm 36 employ a unique structure. Specifically, the rotating arm 33 is eccentrically positioned on one side of the gear 32. This eccentric design enables the rotating arm 33 to generate a specific motion trajectory when driven by the gear 32, thereby more effectively moving the lighting panel 15 between the first and second positions.

[0079] Meanwhile, linkage arm 36 comprises a connecting wheel and an arm eccentrically positioned to one side of the connecting wheel. This eccentrically positioned arm and pivot arm 33 are aligned with each other in the same angle and orientation relative to their respective wheels, ensuring that pivot arm 33 and the arm work together to produce a continuous and consistent motion during movement. Specifically, pivot arm 33 is eccentrically positioned to one side of gear 32, with an eccentric distance e1 and an eccentric angle θ1. This eccentric arrangement allows pivot arm 33 to produce a specific motion trajectory when driven by gear 32.

[0080] The linkage arm 36 includes a connecting wheel and a support arm eccentrically positioned to one side of the connecting wheel. The support arm has an eccentric distance e2 and an eccentric angle θ2. The eccentricity of the support arm is physically consistent with the eccentricity of the rotating arm 33, i.e., e1 = e2 and θ1 = θ2.

[0081] Since the eccentric settings of the rotating arm 33 and the supporting arm are consistent in angle and direction, they can produce the same motion trajectory during the movement, thereby ensuring that the movement of the lighting panel 15 is more stable and coherent.

[0082] Furthermore, the lengths of all arms remain consistent, ensuring that the displacement of each arm during movement is the same. The rotation amplitudes of all arms remain consistent, ensuring that the angular changes of each arm during movement are the same. The lighting panel 15 can achieve highly consistent and coherent movements during movement, avoiding movement incoordination or jamming caused by structural differences. This high degree of consistency and coherence not only improves the reliability of the system, but also makes the movement of the lighting panel 15 smoother, reduces the noise and wear that may be caused by uneven movement, and thus extends the service life of the system. At the same time, this technical means also ensures that users can enjoy a smoother and more comfortable experience during use. Whether it is the smooth opening of the lighting panel 15 when starting the drying function, or the smooth closing of the lighting panel 15 when stopping the drying function, the superiority of this design can be reflected.
