Therefore, the example term "below..." may include both above and below orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0031] In the description of the present application, “plurality” means two or more.

[0032] In order to solve the technical problem of low drying efficiency of the dryer in the prior art, the present application provides a dryer 100 , which includes a housing 10 , a heating element 20 , a support element 30 and an exhaust duct 40 .

[0033] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the housing 10 defines a receiving chamber 11, and the housing 10 has an air inlet 12 connected to the receiving chamber 11; the heating element 20 is disposed in the receiving chamber 11; the support member 30 is detachably connected to the housing 10; one end of the exhaust pipe 40 is connected to the support member 30 (for example, Figure 2 The other end of the exhaust pipe 40 (for example, Figure 2 The left end of the exhaust pipe 40 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 11. Along the direction of airflow, the heating element 20 is located upstream of the above-mentioned one end of the exhaust pipe 40. For example, the heating element 20 is arranged upstream of the entire exhaust pipe 40. The dryer 100 has a storage state and a use state and the dryer 100 can switch between the storage state and the use state. When the dryer 100 is in the storage state, the support member 30 is installed on the housing 10; for example, it is installed on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 10. When the dryer 100 is in the use state, the support member 30 is separated from the housing 10 and the support member 30 is suitable for supporting the objects to be dried.

[0034] The dryer 100 can be used to dry clothes, quilts and other items to be dried. When in use, air can enter the accommodating chamber 11 from the air inlet 12, and after being heated by the heating element 20, the air enters the channel inside the exhaust pipe 40 from the other end of the exhaust pipe 40, and is blown out from the above one end of the exhaust pipe 40 to dry the items to be dried.

[0035] Thus, when the dryer 100 is not needed, the support member 30 can be installed on the housing 10 to facilitate storage and movement, and the space occupied by the dryer 100 can be reduced. When the dryer 100 is needed to dry the objects to be dried, the support member 30 can be removed from the housing 10, and the above-mentioned one end of the exhaust pipe 40 can be driven to extend into the objects to be dried for drying. Such an arrangement can improve the drying effect. At the same time, the support member 30 can support the objects to be dried. For example, when drying a quilt, the support member 30 can lift the quilt to a certain height to prevent the entire object to be dried from being close to the exhaust pipe, so as to facilitate air flow and improve the drying efficiency and drying effect.

[0036] In some embodiments, the exhaust pipe 40 is a telescopic pipe; or, the other end of the exhaust pipe 40 is movably installed in the accommodating chamber 11. It is understandable that after the support member 30 is removed from the housing 10, the above-mentioned end of the exhaust pipe 40 can be driven to move. Figure 1 As shown, the exhaust pipe 40 can be set as a telescopic pipe, for example, the exhaust pipe 40 is a corrugated pipe or other foldable or deformable hose, and further, the exhaust pipe 40 can have a plurality of pipe sections connected along the length direction and relatively movable, so that the exhaust pipe 40 is a telescopic pipe. In this way, when the dryer 100 is in the storage state, the exhaust pipe 40 can be in a shortened state for easy storage, and when the dryer 100 is in the use state, the exhaust pipe 40 is in an extended state, so as to follow the support member 30 to extend into the place where the dried object is to be dried for drying.

[0037] In other embodiments, the other end of the exhaust pipe 40 is movably installed in the accommodating chamber 11. For example, a pulley mechanism or a slide rail mechanism connected to the other end of the exhaust pipe 40 may be provided in the accommodating chamber 11 to drive the exhaust pipe 40 to move, so that one end of the exhaust pipe 40 can move relatively to extend into the dried object for drying.

[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, a mounting cavity 31 is defined in the support member 30, and the support member 30 has an air outlet 32 ​​connected to the mounting cavity 31, and one end of the exhaust pipe 40 is arranged in the mounting cavity 31. That is to say, one end of the exhaust pipe 40 can be stored in the mounting cavity 31, and the airflow flowing out of the exhaust pipe 40 can flow out through the air outlet 32 ​​to dry the objects to be dried. For example, when the dryer 100 is in the storage state, the mounting cavity 31 can be arranged opposite to the accommodating cavity 11, so that the exhaust pipe 40 can directly extend into the mounting cavity 31 after extending from the accommodating cavity 11. Such an arrangement makes the structure of the dryer 100 more compact, can further reduce the occupied space in the storage state, and can prevent the exhaust pipe 40 from being exposed to the outside, so as to increase the service life of the exhaust pipe 40.

[0039] For example, Figure 2 As shown, there may be a plurality of air outlet holes 32, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the support member 30, so that the dryer 100 can discharge air from multiple directions, thereby further improving the drying effect.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the upper end of the support member 30 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the lower end of the support member 30. The lower end refers to the end supported on the ground or the table, and the upper end refers to the end used to lift the object to be dried. For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the support member 30 along the vertical direction can be roughly triangular, so that a gap can be formed between the object to be dried and the upper end of the support member 30, which can further facilitate the flow of air, and the support stability of the lower end of the support member 30 is good.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the dryer 100 further includes a blower 50 and an air duct structure 60. The blower 50 is located in the accommodating chamber 11. The air duct structure 60 has a ventilation duct 62. Along the air flow direction, the heating element 20 is located downstream of the ventilation duct 62 and the heating element 20 is arranged opposite to the other end of the exhaust pipe 40. For example, the blower 50 may include a high-speed motor 51 and a fan blade connected thereto. The high-speed motor 51 drives the fan blade to rotate. The high-speed motor 51 has the advantages of high speed and small size, thereby increasing the air flow speed and saving internal space. By setting the air duct structure 60, the air flow can be facilitated to flow in a preset direction to ensure the drying efficiency.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the ventilation duct 62 is constructed in a U shape. That is, the duct inlet can be arranged in parallel with the duct outlet, and the duct inlet and the duct outlet are bent and smoothly connected. This arrangement can prevent the airflow blown out from the air blowing member 50 from being too concentrated, resulting in uneven heat dissipation of the heating element. In addition, the U-shaped ventilation duct 62 can save space, and in addition, it can allow the airflow to have a certain buffer space, reducing the high-frequency abnormal sound caused by the friction between the airflow and the heating element.

[0043] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the dryer 100 further includes: a muffler box 70, the muffler box 70 is located in the accommodating chamber 11, the muffler box 70 has a through hole 71 connected to the accommodating chamber 11, and along the airflow direction, the muffler box 70 is located upstream of the air duct structure 60, one end of the air duct structure 60 facing the muffler box 70 is located in the muffler box 70, and one end of the air duct structure 60 facing the muffler box 70 has a mounting portion 61, and the air blowing member 50 is mounted on the mounting portion 61. For example, the mounting portion 61 may have a protrusion for limiting the motor 51 on the outer periphery of the motor 51. By providing the muffler box 70, the muffler box 70 cover can be arranged outside the air inlet of the air blowing member 50 to absorb the noise generated by the motor 51 of the air blowing member 50 and reduce the noise.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the muffler box 70 has a sound-blocking rib sheet 72, and the sound-blocking rib sheet 72 is arranged opposite to the through hole 71. For example, the sound-blocking rib sheet 72 can be a plurality of rib sheets arranged side by side. As a result, the noise generated by the blowing member 50 will be blocked by the sound-blocking rib sheet 72, and the noise needs to bypass the sound-blocking rib sheet 72 to be transmitted, so as to achieve a sound-absorbing effect. Of course, in other embodiments, a sound-absorbing sponge can be provided in the muffler box 70 to absorb the noise.

[0045] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is connected to the support member 30 by snapping. Figure 1 As shown, the housing 10 and the support member 30 respectively have a buckle and a slot that can cooperate with each other. When the housing 10 and the support member 30 rotate relative to each other, the locked and unlocked states of the two can be switched. Alternatively, the housing 10 and the support member 30 are plug-in connected, and the housing 10 and the support member 30 respectively have a plug-in column and a slot; furthermore, the housing 10 and the support member 30 are magnetically connected, and the housing 10 and the support member 30 respectively have a first magnetic attraction member and a second magnetic attraction member with attraction between them. The above multiple situations can realize the detachable cooperation between the housing 10 and the support member 30, and the disassembly efficiency is high.

[0046] For example, the housing 10 may include an upper cover 13, a main housing 14, a fixing seat 90, a control panel 80, and a cover plate 15. The air inlet 12 is formed on opposite sides of the main housing 14. The main housing 14 defines a receiving chamber 11, and the upper end of the main housing 14 is open. The upper cover 13 is covered on the upper end of the main housing 14. The upper end of the muffler box 70 may be open. The control panel 80 is covered on the upper end of the muffler box 70, so that the user can adjust the parameters of the dryer 100 through buttons or a display screen. The fixing seat 90 is fixed in the receiving chamber 11, the exhaust pipe 40 and the muffler box 70 are installed on the fixing seat 90, the heating element is sandwiched between the air duct structure 60 and the fixing seat 90, the cover plate 15 may be fixed on the side of the main housing 14 facing the support member 30, the exhaust pipe 40 may be inserted through the cover plate 15 and then extend into the installation chamber 31, and the housing 10 may be detachably connected to the support member 30 through the cover plate 15.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the exhaust pipes 40 are arranged in parallel in a plurality, and the support members 30 are arranged in a plurality corresponding to the exhaust pipes 40. For example, the exhaust pipes 40, the support members 30, the ventilation ducts 62, and the blowing members 50 can all be arranged in a plurality corresponding to each other. Such an arrangement can improve the drying efficiency on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can facilitate the synchronous drying of the objects to be dried at different positions, so as to improve the practical performance of the dryer 100.
