AI Technical Summary
Existing fabric drum hot air dryers suffer from uneven drying and low efficiency because the fabric becomes lighter and its weight decreases during the drying process. When the centrifugal force exceeds the fabric's weight, it cannot be turned over. Furthermore, the fabric tends to stack and become entangled, making it difficult for hot air to penetrate and prolonging the drying time.
The roller and movable cavity design, made of deformable heat-resistant silicone material, combined with magnetic locking and push unlocking components, ensures that the fabric is turned evenly inside the roller by the cooperation of the fabric's own weight and magnetic locking components. The inclined separating roller separates the fabric to prevent entanglement and ensures that the hot air makes full contact.
It achieves uniform drying of fabrics, improves drying efficiency, avoids fabric tangling and wrinkles, shortens drying time, and improves hot air utilization.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drying technology, specifically to a high-efficiency, energy-saving, sterilization, and drying integrated machine. Background Technology
[0002] The high-efficiency and energy-saving sterilization and drying all-in-one machine is an intelligent home appliance that integrates multiple functions such as drying, sterilization and disinfection, and dehumidification. Through innovative technology, it achieves the dual goals of energy-efficient utilization and thorough sterilization, and is widely used in many fields such as homes, medical care, catering, and industry.
[0003] For example, a high-efficiency and energy-saving fabric dryer with publication number CN117848003A can introduce fabric from the feed roller, pass through the spreader roller and the support roller, and finally exit from the outlet roller. During this process, hot air is sprayed onto the fabric surface through the air knife of the drying device to dry the fabric, making the fabric surface dry and fluffy. It can also be adjusted to smooth the fabric surface. Directly heating the air to dry the fabric reduces energy consumption compared to bringing heat energy into the dryer through a circulating fan, and also improves the drying efficiency. However, existing dryers still have some shortcomings.
[0004] In existing technologies, the main type of sterilization and drying equipment for fabrics is the drum-type hot air dryer. Its working principle is as follows: the rotation of the drum generates centrifugal force, causing the fabric to rotate synchronously against the inner wall of the drum to the top. Subsequently, the fabric detaches under its own weight (including the increased weight after being wet) and is turned over. Thorough drying is achieved through contact between the hot air and the fabric. However, this type of dryer has the following technical drawbacks: 1. The turning process of the fabric relies entirely on its own weight after being wetted, while the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the drum remains constant. As the drying process progresses, the moisture content of the fabric gradually decreases and its weight continues to decrease. When the centrifugal force exceeds the weight of the fabric, the fabric will continue to stick to the inner wall of the drum and cannot be turned over. As a result, only the side of the fabric that is not sticking to the inner wall of the drum can fully contact the hot air, while the other side cannot achieve effective heat exchange because it is tightly stuck to the inner wall. This ultimately leads to uneven drying and low efficiency. 2. Even if the fabric can fall off the top of the drum in the early stage of drying, it will mostly be in a natural stacked state during its fall, which makes it very easy for the fabric to become entangled. The fabric fibers in the entangled area are tightly attached, forming a closed space, which makes it difficult for hot air to penetrate into the interior of the area. This not only further reduces the drying efficiency of the entangled part, but also prolongs the overall drying time due to insufficient drying in some areas, affecting the drying effect and user experience.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for innovative design based on the existing high-efficiency, energy-saving, sterilization, and drying integrated machine. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention addresses the problem of overly simplistic solutions in existing technologies by providing a significantly different approach. Specifically, the invention aims to offer a highly efficient and energy-saving integrated sterilization and drying machine. This addresses the shortcomings of existing fabric drum-type hot air dryers, which rely on centrifugal force to lift fabrics to the top for drying by their own weight and the weight of moisture. However, during drying, the fabric's moisture content decreases, and its weight diminishes. When the centrifugal force exceeds the fabric's weight, the fabric cannot detach and detach, resulting in uneven drying and low efficiency. Furthermore, the initial detachment of fabrics often leads to stacking and entanglement, making it difficult for hot air to penetrate, further reducing drying efficiency and prolonging drying time.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency and energy-saving sterilization and drying integrated machine, comprising a shell, a drying zone fixedly disposed within the shell, a door rotatably disposed on the front of the shell, and a baffle threadedly connected to one side of the shell, wherein the drying zone further comprises an outer cylinder fixedly disposed within the drying zone; The roller is rotatably mounted inside the outer cylinder, and a cavity is opened inside it. The actuating plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder and is located directly above the roller; The connecting disc is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder's shaft, with one end located inside the drum; The material distribution rollers are rotatably mounted on the end face of the connecting disc and distributed in an array. The drying end is located on one side of the feed inlet of the shell, and its inner wall has air outlets distributed at equal angles. The movable cavities are arranged at equal angles inside the cavity, and movable slots are opened at the top of them; A magnetic locking component is installed inside the active cavity, which presses the fabric against the inner wall of the roller based on the weight of the fabric and magnetically locks it into the pressed state. The rotating assembly in the active chamber is based on the reverse rotation of the roller and is pushed by the toggle plate to unlock the magnetic locking assembly. The magnetic locking assembly includes a magnetic shell, fixed rods symmetrically distributed on the outer wall of the magnetic shell, and a toggle switch rotatably disposed on the top of the magnetic shell for adjusting the magnetic state of the magnetic shell. The top of the fixed rods is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the movable cavity. The push-unlock assembly includes a lever rotatably mounted on the movable slot, a guide block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the movable cavity, and a push rod slidably mounted in the guide block and pushed by the lever to reset the push-toggle switch. A rotating shaft is provided at the center of the lever.
[0008] Preferably, the magnetic locking assembly further includes a connecting rod symmetrically sleeved on the pivot rod of the toggle switch for driving the toggle switch to rotate, a driving sleeve fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod, a sliding rod slidably disposed in the driving sleeve, and a pressure plate fixedly connected to one bottom end of the sliding rod, the end of the pressure plate being in contact with the bottom inner wall of the movable cavity.
[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the sliding rod is fixedly connected with symmetrically distributed movable rods, which are used to drive the drive sleeve to rotate.
[0010] Preferably, the drive sleeve has a cam groove, and the end of the movable rod is slidably disposed in the cam groove.
[0011] Preferably, both ends of the rotating shaft are connected to the inner wall of the movable groove, and a torsion spring is provided at the connection between the rotating shaft and the lever for the lever to rotate and reset.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the pressure plate is slidably provided with symmetrically distributed support rods, the top of the support rods is provided with a sleeve, the support rods are slidably disposed in the sleeve, and the top of the sleeve is connected to the top inner wall of the movable cavity.
[0013] Preferably, a metal disk is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod, and the metal disk is in magnetic contact with the bottom contact surface of the magnetic shell.
[0014] Preferably, a spring is provided between the drive sleeve and the pressure plate, and the spring is sleeved on the sliding rod.
[0015] Preferably, one end of the lever has a sliding groove, and a drive rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of one end of the push rod, the drive rod being disposed within the sliding groove.
[0016] Preferably, the end face of the roller that fits against the outer wall of the movable cavity and the outer wall of the movable cavity are both made of deformable heat-resistant silicone material, so that the fabric can be pressed against the pressure plate by gravity.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The contact surface between the roller and the moving cavity is made of deformable, heat-resistant silicone. When the fabric is dried and its weight is reduced, it adheres tightly to the inner wall of the roller. The pressure is smoothly transmitted to the pressure plate in the moving cavity through the uniform deformation of the silicone. This avoids pressure loss or fabric damage caused by rigid contact, and does not affect the smooth high-speed rotation of the roller. At the same time, the sliding rod slides smoothly along the axial direction of the drive sleeve. Its outer wall movable rod is slidably set in the cam groove, converting the axial movement into the rotation of the drive sleeve. Through the connecting rod, it drives the toggle switch to switch to the magnetic state. The metal disk at the top of the sliding rod increases the magnetic contact area and enhances the adsorption stability between the magnetic shell and the sliding rod. Even under the vibration condition of high-speed rotation of the drum, it can still firmly lock the state of adhering to the wall. When the drum rotates to the top, the lever abuts against the actuation plate on the inner wall of the outer cylinder. The lever rotates around the shaft and drives the drive rod to slide through the slide groove, converting the circumferential motion into the axial linear motion of the push rod, so that the push rod pushes the toggle switch to unlock. The torsion spring at the shaft stores elastic potential energy at the same time. After the lever is disengaged from the abutment, it rebounds and resets. After the magnetic shell is demagnetized, the spring sleeved on the sliding rod releases the elastic potential energy, pushes the pressure plate to reset downward and generates a reverse thrust on the inner wall of the drum. Combined with the residual gravity of the fabric, it achieves forced shedding and flipping, ensuring that the side of the fabric that was originally adhering to the wall is in contact with the hot air. 2. The self-rotating separating rollers, symmetrically arranged in an inclined array on the end face of the connecting disc, drive the fabric to rotate during the initial drying stage (when the fabric's weight is greater than the centrifugal force) by utilizing the contact force during its descent. Through the tilt angle of the separating rollers and their own rotation, the stacked fabric is broken up and separated. At the same time, the rotating groove in the center of the rollers prevents friction between the connecting discs and the rollers, ensuring stable operation of the separating rollers and effectively preventing the fabric from entangled and forming closed areas during the detachment process. This separating roller keeps the fabric in a dispersed state, ensuring that hot air can penetrate the gaps between the fabrics. This not only improves the utilization rate of hot air and the drying rate, but also avoids the overall drying time being prolonged due to incomplete drying of entangled areas, while reducing wrinkles and damage to the fabric caused by entanglement.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 14The present invention provides a technical solution: a high-efficiency and energy-saving sterilization and drying integrated machine, including a shell 1, a drying zone 4 fixedly disposed in the shell 1, a door 3 rotatably disposed on the front of the shell 1, and a baffle 2 threadedly connected to one side of the shell 1. The drying zone 4 also includes an outer cylinder 9 fixedly disposed in the drying zone 4. The roller 5 is rotatably disposed inside the outer cylinder 9, and a cavity is provided inside it; The actuating plate 901 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 9 and is located directly above the roller 5; The connecting disc 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shaft of the outer cylinder 9, with one end located inside the drum 5; The material distribution rollers 7 are rotatably mounted on the end face of the connecting disc 6 and are distributed in an array; The drying end 8 is located on one side of the feed inlet of the shell 1, and its inner wall has air outlets distributed at equal angles. The movable cavity 10 is arranged in the cavity at equal angles, and a movable groove 501 is opened on its top. A magnetic locking assembly is installed in the active cavity 10, which presses against the inner wall of the roller 5 based on the weight of the fabric and magnetically locks the pressed state. The rotating assembly in the active cavity 10 is based on the reverse rotation of the roller 5 and is pushed by the toggle plate 901 to unlock the magnetic locking assembly. The magnetic locking assembly includes a magnetic shell 16, fixed rods 17 symmetrically distributed on the outer wall of the magnetic shell 16, and a toggle switch 19 rotatably disposed on the top of the magnetic shell 16 for adjusting the magnetic state of the magnetic shell 16. The top of the fixed rods 17 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the movable cavity 10. The push-unlock component includes a lever 21 rotatably mounted on the movable slot 501, a guide block 20 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the movable cavity 10, and a push rod 22 slidably mounted in the guide block 20 and pushed by the lever 21 to reset the push-toggle switch 19. A rotating shaft 23 is provided at the center of the lever 21.
[0035] In this embodiment, the machine door 3 is opened, the fabric to be dried is placed into the cavity of the drum 5, the machine door 3 is closed, and the drying end 8 and the drum 5 are started. After the drum 5 is started, it rotates at high speed, and the centrifugal force generated therein drives the fabric to tightly adhere to the inner wall of the drum 5 and rotate synchronously. When the fabric rotates to the top position with the drum 5, it falls off the top of the drum 5 under its own weight (including the weight added after being wet). During the fall, it comes into contact with the distribution rollers 7 arranged in an array on the end face of the connecting plate 6. Since the distribution rollers 7 are arranged in a symmetrical inclined array and can rotate around their own axis, the fabric will drive the distribution rollers 7 to rotate when they come into contact with the distribution rollers 7. The rotation of the distribution rollers 7 will gradually separate the stacked fabrics, effectively avoiding the entanglement between the fabrics. (It should be noted that a rotating groove is opened in the center of the drum 5. The radius of the rotating groove is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the connecting plate 6. The connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the axis of the outer cylinder 9 and extends into the drum 5. The rotating groove can prevent the drum 5 from directly contacting the connecting plate 6 when it rotates, thus avoiding rotational friction resistance.) As the drying process continues, the moisture content of the fabric gradually decreases and its weight decreases accordingly. When the centrifugal force generated by the drum 5 is greater than the weight of the fabric, the fabric cannot fall off by its own weight and continues to stick tightly to the inner wall of the drum 5.At this time, the fabric tightly adhering to the inner wall of the roller 5 will exert a squeezing effect on the inner wall of the roller 5 and the corresponding area of the movable cavity 10, pushing the pressure plate in the movable cavity 10 to move upward along the movable cavity 10. During the upward movement of the pressure plate, it squeezes the compression spring at its top, and at the same time, the sliding rod fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate drives the driving component to rotate by a preset angle (e.g., 30°). This driving component is fixedly connected to the toggle switch 19 of the magnetic locking assembly. When the driving component rotates, it synchronously drives the toggle switch 19 to rotate from the demagnetized state to the magnetized state, so that the magnetic shell 16 switches to the magnetized mode. After the magnetic shell 16 is magnetized, it generates a magnetic force to attract the sliding rod, thereby keeping the pressure plate in the position after it moves upward, and the movable cavity 10 remains in a contracted state, ensuring that the fabric always adheres tightly to the inner wall of the roller 5 and rotates synchronously with the roller 5. When the fabric rotates with the roller 5 to the top position again, it pushes the lever 21 in the unlocking assembly to contact the toggle plate 901 fixedly set on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 9 (it should be noted that the lever 21 is also affected by the toggle plate when the toggle switch 19 is demagnetized). (The lever 21 rotates around the central pivot 23 under the action of the lever 901, but it does not contact the toggle switch 19, so it will not get stuck). During the rotation, one end of the lever 21 pushes the push rod 22, causing the push rod 22 to move towards the toggle switch 19 along the guide direction of the guide block 20. The push rod 22 continues to push the toggle switch 19 to rotate in the opposite direction until the toggle switch 19 is reset to the demagnetized state, the magnetic force of the magnetic shell 16 disappears, and it no longer attracts the slide rod. At this time, the compressed spring releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the pressure plate to reset downward along the movable cavity 10. The pressure plate generates an outward pushing force on the inner wall of the roller 5, which interrupts the adhesion between the fabric and the inner wall of the roller 5. Under the combined action of this pushing force and its own residual weight, the fabric falls off from the top of the roller 5 and flips over, ensuring that the side of the fabric that is not in contact with the inner wall of the roller 5 can fully contact the hot air blown out from the drying end 8, thereby achieving uniform drying of the fabric and avoiding the problem of uneven drying and low efficiency caused by the fabric continuously sticking to the wall. (In addition, the drying end 8 is located on the side of the feed inlet of the housing 1, and its inner wall has air outlets distributed at equal angles. After starting, it can evenly deliver hot air into the drying zone 4; the magnetic shell 16 of the magnetic locking assembly is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the movable cavity 10 through symmetrically distributed fixing rods 17 to ensure that the magnetic shell 16 is installed firmly; the guide block 20 is fixed to the top inner wall of the movable cavity 10 to provide stable guidance for the sliding of the push rod 22 and ensure the accuracy of the unlocking action).
[0036] The magnetic locking assembly also includes a connecting rod 18 symmetrically sleeved on the shaft of the toggle switch 19 for driving the toggle switch 19 to rotate, a drive sleeve 14 fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 18, a sliding rod 13 slidably disposed in the drive sleeve 14, and a pressure plate 12 fixedly connected to one bottom end of the sliding rod 13, with the end of the pressure plate 12 abutting against the bottom inner wall of the movable cavity 10.
[0037] The outer wall of the sliding rod 13 is fixedly connected with symmetrically distributed movable rods, which are used to drive the drive sleeve 14 to rotate.
[0038] A cam groove 1401 is provided inside the drive sleeve 14, and the end of the movable rod is slidably disposed in the cam groove 1401.
[0039] In this embodiment, the pressure plate mentioned above corresponds to the pressure plate 12 in this magnetic locking assembly, the slide bar corresponds to the slide rod 13, and the driving component corresponds to the driving sleeve 14. When the fabric is pressed against the inner wall of the roller 5 due to the reduction of its own weight, the fabric forms a squeezing force on the inner wall of the roller 5 and the bottom of the movable cavity 10. This squeezing force directly acts on the pressure plate 12 that is in contact with the inner wall of the bottom of the movable cavity 10, pushing the pressure plate 12 to move upward along the axial direction of the movable cavity 10. Since the pressure plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod 13, when the pressure plate 12 moves upward, it synchronously drives the sliding rod 13 to slide upward along the internal cavity of the drive sleeve 14. When the sliding rod 13 slides upward, the movable rod on its outer wall moves along the groove trajectory of the cam groove 1401. By utilizing the inclined guiding effect of the cam groove 1401, the axial linear motion of the sliding rod 13 is converted into the circumferential rotational motion of the drive sleeve 14, thereby driving the drive sleeve 14 to rotate around its own axis by a preset angle (e.g., 30°). Since the drive sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the toggle switch 19 through the connecting rod 18, and the connecting rod 18 is symmetrically sleeved on the shaft of the toggle switch 19, when the drive sleeve 14 rotates, it transmits torque through the connecting rod 18, driving the toggle switch 19 to rotate synchronously around the shaft. When the toggle switch 19 rotates from the initial demagnetized state to the magnetized state, the magnetic shell 16 switches to the magnetized mode and generates magnetic force, which attracts and fixes the sliding rod 13, keeping the sliding rod 13 in the position after sliding upward. Then, the pressure plate 12 maintains the contracted state of the active cavity 10, ensuring that the fabric continues to adhere tightly to the inner wall of the roller 5 and rotates synchronously with the roller 5.
[0040] Both ends of the rotating shaft 23 are connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 501, and a torsion spring is provided at the connection between the rotating shaft 23 and the lever 21 to allow the lever 21 to rotate and reset.
[0041] In this embodiment, when the fabric rotates to the top position with the roller 5, the end of the lever 21 exposed outside the movable groove 501 abuts against the actuating plate 901 on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 9. Under the pushing force of the actuating plate 901, the lever 21 rotates around the rotating shaft 23 into the movable cavity 10, simultaneously pushing the push rod 22 to move towards the toggle switch 19, thereby unlocking the magnetic locking component. During this process, the torsion spring is torsionally deformed by the lever 21, storing elastic potential energy. When the roller 5 continues to rotate, the lever 21 moves with the roller 5 to the point of being out of contact with the actuating plate 901, and the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring is released, driving the lever 21 to rotate in the opposite direction around the rotating shaft 23 until the lever 21 returns to its initial position. At the same time, it drives the push rod 22 to slide back along the guide block 20, preparing for the next unlocking action. The torsion spring's reset action ensures that the lever 21 automatically returns to its initial state after each unlocking, guaranteeing the reliability and stability of the cyclic action of the unlocking component, thereby enabling the continuous and effective turning action during the fabric drying process.
[0042] The top of the pressure plate 12 is slidably provided with symmetrically distributed support rods 11. The top of the support rods 11 is provided with a sleeve, and the support rods 11 are slidably disposed inside the sleeve. The top of the sleeve is connected to the top inner wall of the movable cavity 10.
[0043] In this embodiment, the support rod 11 is configured to provide precise guidance for the up and down movement of the pressure plate 12, effectively preventing the pressure plate 12 from tilting, shifting or jamming during the force application process, and ensuring that the pressure plate 12 always moves smoothly along the axial direction of the movable cavity 10.
[0044] A metal disk is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 13, and the metal disk is in magnetic contact with the bottom contact surface of the magnetic shell 16.
[0045] In this embodiment, while the magnetic shell 16 remains magnetically connected, the metal disc and the bottom contact surface of the magnetic shell 16 are tightly magnetically attached, keeping the sliding rod 13 in a preset upward position. This, in turn, stabilizes the contracted state of the movable cavity 10 through the pressure plate 12, ensuring that the fabric continues to adhere tightly to the inner wall of the roller 5 and rotates synchronously with the roller 5. When the unlocking component is pushed to trigger the toggle switch 19 to reset to the demagnetized state, the magnetic force of the magnetic shell 16 disappears, the magnetic attraction between the metal disc and the magnetic shell 16 is released, and the sliding rod 13 smoothly resets downward with the pressure plate 12 under the elastic potential energy of the compression spring. The metal disc simultaneously detaches from the contact surface of the magnetic shell 16, without affecting the subsequent locking and unlocking cycle.
[0046] A spring 15 is provided between the drive sleeve 14 and the pressure plate 12, and the spring 15 is sleeved on the sliding rod 13.
[0047] In this embodiment, the compression spring mentioned above corresponds to the spring 15 in the magnetic locking assembly. The spring 15 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 13, and its two ends are elastically abutting against the bottom end face of the drive sleeve 14 and the top end face of the pressure plate 12, respectively, to form an axial elastic support structure.
[0048] One end of the lever 21 has a groove 24, and a drive rod 25 is fixedly connected to the side wall of one end of the push rod 22. The drive rod 25 is located in the groove 24.
[0049] In this embodiment, when the lever 21 rotates around the pivot 23 due to the contact of the toggle plate 901, the lever 21 generates a guiding thrust on the drive rod 25 through the slide groove 24. Since the drive rod 25 is fixed to the push rod 22 and limited by the slide groove 24, the circumferential rotation of the lever 21 is converted into the linear motion of the push rod 22 along the axial direction of the guide block 20 through the sliding cooperation between the slide groove 24 and the drive rod 25, ensuring that the push rod 22 is accurately pushed toward the toggle switch 19.
[0050] The end face of the roller 5 that fits against the outer wall of the movable cavity 10 and the outer wall of the movable cavity 10 are both made of deformable heat-resistant silicone material so that the fabric can be pressed against the pressure plate 12 by gravity.
[0051] In this embodiment, when the fabric adheres tightly to the inner wall of the roller 5 due to its reduced weight, the pressure exerted by the fabric on the inner wall of the roller 5 is transmitted to the outer wall of the movable cavity 10 through the deformable heat-resistant silicone material. This causes the silicone material to deform appropriately, thereby smoothly transmitting the pressure to the pressure plate 12 inside the movable cavity 10. This pushes the pressure plate 12 upward to trigger the magnetic locking action. Since the silicone material deforms uniformly and has a buffering effect, it can prevent rigid compression between the fabric and the inner wall of the roller 5. This ensures the effectiveness of pressure transmission, prevents damage to the fabric due to compression, and does not affect the high-speed rotation of the roller 5.
[0052] Working principle: When using this high-efficiency and energy-saving sterilization and drying integrated machine, first open the door 3 on the front of the shell 1, put the fabric to be dried into the cavity of the drum 5, close the door 3, and start the drying end 8 set on the side of the feed inlet of the shell 1 and the drum 5 rotating inside the outer cylinder 9; the drying end 8 delivers hot air evenly to the drying zone 4 through the air outlets distributed at equal angles on the inner wall. At the same time, the drum 5 rotates at high speed and generates centrifugal force, causing the fabric to tightly adhere to its inner wall and rotate synchronously. When the fabric rotates with the drum 5 to the top position, it falls off the top of the drum 5 under its own weight (including the weight added after being wet). During the fall, it contacts the material distribution rollers 7, which are symmetrically and inclinedly arranged on the end face of the connecting plate 6, driving the material distribution rollers 7 to rotate and gradually separate the stacked fabrics, effectively avoiding the fabrics from tangling (the rotating groove in the middle position of the drum 5 has a radius slightly larger than the outer diameter of the connecting plate 6, which can prevent the two from directly contacting and generating frictional resistance). As drying progresses, the fabric's moisture content decreases and its weight lightens. When the centrifugal force of the roller 5 exceeds the fabric's weight, the fabric remains tightly pressed against the inner wall of the roller 5. At this point, the fabric's compressive force is smoothly transmitted to the pressure plate 12 inside the movable cavity 10 through the deformable heat-resistant silicone material on the outer wall of the roller 5 and the movable cavity 10. This pushes the pressure plate 12 to slide into the housing via the support rod 11. When the pressure plate 12 moves upward, it compresses the spring 15 sleeved outside the sliding rod 13, causing it to contract and store energy. Simultaneously, it drives the sliding rod 13 to slide along the inner cavity of the drive sleeve 14. The movable rod on the outer wall of the sliding rod 13 moves along the cam groove 1401 of the drive sleeve 14, converting the axial linear motion into the circumferential rotation of the drive sleeve 14. This is achieved through the connecting rod 18. The toggle switch 19 is rotated from the demagnetized state to the magnetized state, causing the magnetic shell 16 to generate magnetic force and attract the metal disc on the top of the sliding rod 13, thereby locking the position of the sliding rod 13 and the pressure plate 12, keeping the movable cavity 10 in a contracted state. When the fabric rotates to the top again with the roller 5, the lever 21 exposed outside the movable groove 501 abuts against the lever plate 901 on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 9, and rotates around the rotating shaft 23 into the movable cavity 10. The torsion spring at the rotating shaft 23 rotates synchronously to store energy. The lever 21 pushes the push rod 22 to move axially toward the toggle switch 19 along the guide block 20 through the sliding groove 24 and the drive rod 25, causing the toggle switch 19 to rotate in the opposite direction to reset to the demagnetized state, and the magnetic force of the magnetic shell 16 disappears. At this time, the spring 15 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the pressure plate 12 and the sliding rod 13 to reset downwards. The pressure plate 12 generates an outward pushing force on the inner wall of the roller 5, interrupting the adhesion between the fabric and the roller 5. Under the action of the pushing force and its own residual gravity, the fabric falls off and flips over, ensuring that the side not attached to the wall is fully exposed to the hot air. After the lever 21 disengages from the lever plate 901, it resets under the action of the torsion spring and drives the push rod 22 back to the initial position, preparing for the next locking and unlocking cycle.
