[0055] The present application provides a clothes dryer that can achieve the purpose of portable clothes drying and easy storage.

[0056] Figures 1 to 8 A clothes dryer provided in an embodiment of the present application comprises a clothes dryer body 1, a side panel 2 and a first limiting structure 3, the clothes dryer body 1 is provided with a accommodating cavity 110, an air outlet 120 and an operating hole 130 communicated with the accommodating cavity 110; the side panel 2 is rotatably connected to the clothes dryer body 1 and can be rotated to an unfolded state or a closed state; it is defined that when the side panel 2 is in the closed state, the side of the side panel 2 away from the air outlet 120 is the outer side of the side panel 2; the first limiting structure 3 comprises a limiting member 31 and a button 32, the limiting member 31 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 110, the button 32 is penetrated in the operating hole 130 and connected to the limiting member 31; the limiting member 31 is provided with a limiting groove 3110; wherein, when the side panel 2 is in the unfolded state, the side panel 2 is inserted into the limiting groove 3110; the button 32 is located above the outer side of the side panel 2.

[0057] It is understandable that when the clothes dryer needs to be used, the side panel 2 is rotated and inserted into the limiting groove 3110. At this time, the limiting member 31 limits the side panel 2 and the side panel 2 is in the unfolded state. After use, the button 32 is pressed to drive the limiting member 31 to move away from the side panel 2, so that the side panel 2 is separated from the limiting groove 3110. The side panel 2 can be rotated to the closed state, which is convenient for storage and placement, reducing space occupation. At the same time, the button 32 is located above the outer side of the side panel 2, which is convenient for the user to directly observe the position of the button 32 and accurately press the button 32.

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the number of side panels 2 is at least two, and the plurality of side panels 2 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the dryer body. In this embodiment, the number of side panels 2 is two, and in another embodiment, the number of side panels 2 can also be four.

[0059] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the clothes dryer body 1 includes a shell 11 and a drying module 12, the shell 11 is provided with a receiving chamber 110, an air outlet 120 and an operating hole 130, the air outlet 120 is located at the lower side of the shell 11, the operating hole 130 is located at the peripheral side of the shell 11, the side plate 2 is rotatably connected to the shell 11, and a plurality of side plates 2 are arranged around the air outlet 120; the first limiting structure 3 is provided on the shell 11, wherein the button 32 is detachably connected to the shell 11 through a fixing platform 324, and the fixing platform 324 is connected to the shell 11 by bolts; the drying module 12 is provided in the receiving chamber 110 and is arranged corresponding to the air outlet 120. In this way, hot air can be generated by the drying module 12 and blown out from the air outlet 120 to achieve the purpose of drying clothes. In one embodiment, the shell 11 is provided with an air inlet, and the drying module 12 includes a heating element and a fan, the fan introduces air into the receiving chamber 110, and is heated by the heating element, and the heated air is blown out from the air outlet 120.

[0060] Among them, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the end of the limiting member 31 away from the button 32 is a free end, and the limiting groove 3110 is arranged near the free end, so that the limiting member 31 can be deflected by pushing the button 32 to unlock the limiting member 31 and the side panel 2.

[0061] In this embodiment, a hook is installed on the top of the dryer body 1, and the hook is rotatably connected to the dryer body 1. When the dryer body 1 is needed, it is hung at a suitable position through the hook.

[0062] In this embodiment, the side panel 2 can be opened and closed manually by the user. Compared with the structure in which the side panel 2 rotates automatically, the manual structure reduces components, weight and cost, and is more convenient to carry.

[0063] The technical solution of this embodiment further comprises a clothes drying cover, which is provided with a drying chamber. The clothes drying cover is detachably covered on the side plate 2 so that the side plate 2 is located in the drying chamber.

[0064] It can be understood that the drying cover can concentrate the heat to improve the drying efficiency on the one hand, and can also play an isolating and protective role on the other hand.

[0065] The technical solution of this embodiment also includes a foldable clothes hanger (not shown in the figure), and the side panel 2 is connected to the foldable clothes hanger; when the side panel 2 is in the unfolded state, the foldable clothes hanger is unfolded for hanging clothes; when the side panel 2 is in the closed state, the foldable clothes hanger itself is folded to be stored on the inner side of the side panel 2.

[0066] It is understandable that after the side panel 2 is unfolded, the foldable clothes hanger is also unfolded, and clothes and the like can be hung on the unfolded foldable clothes hanger. The foldable clothes hanger is connected to the inner side of the side panel 2. After unfolding, the air outlet 120 corresponds to the foldable clothes hanger. At the same time, the foldable clothes hanger itself can be folded for easy storage. And by arranging the foldable clothes hanger on the inner side of the side panel 2, more clothes can be hung to increase the amount of clothes to be dried.

[0067] In one embodiment, there are two side panels 2, and the foldable clothes hanger includes two first connecting chains and a folding rod assembly. The folding rod assembly includes two clothes drying rods. The two clothes drying rods are hinged, and one end of each clothes drying rod away from the other clothes drying rod is connected to a first connecting chain, and one end of the first connecting chain away from the clothes drying rod is connected to the inner side of the side panel 2, wherein the connecting chain is a chain.

[0068] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the limiter 31 includes a connecting portion 311 and a clamping portion 312, one end of the connecting portion 311 is connected to the button 32, and the other end extends downward; the clamping portion 312 is convexly arranged on the side of the connecting portion 311 facing the side panel 2, and the side of the clamping portion 312 away from the button 32 is enclosed with the connecting portion 311 to form a limit groove 3110. The limiter 31 designed in this way can achieve the effect of locking and unlocking with the side panel 2 while having a simple structure and easy processing. Furthermore, the limiter 31 is connected to the button 32, and after the button 32 is in place, the limiter 31 is also installed in place, which is simple to assemble and improves assembly efficiency.

[0069] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the connecting portion 311 is arc-shaped. The end of the clamping portion 312 away from the connecting portion 311 is an arc surface, so that the locking and unlocking process of the side plate 2 and the limiting member 31 is smoother.

[0070] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 311 and the clamping portion 312 are an integrally formed structure.

[0071] In this embodiment, in order to increase the service life of the limiting member 31 , the material of the limiting member 31 can be selected to have a certain elasticity.

[0072] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the button 32 includes a button body 321, a fixing portion 322 and a buffer portion 323. The button body 321 is inserted into the operating hole 130 and connected to the limiting member 31; the fixing portion 322 is located in the accommodating cavity 110 and connected to the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 110; the fixing portion 322 is connected to the button body 321; one end of the buffer portion 323 is connected to the fixing portion 322, and the other end is connected to the connection between the limiting member 31 and the button body 321.

[0073] It is understandable that the fixing part 322 is used to achieve a fixed connection with the housing 11 to provide support for the button body 321. In this embodiment, the fixing part 322 is provided with a fixing platform 324, and the fixing platform 324 is connected to the housing 11 by bolts. The buffer part 323 provides a force for the button 32, so that when the button body 321 is pressed, the force is felt, and the limiter 31 can be slowly driven to deflect, so as to avoid the side panel 2 from suddenly and quickly detaching. At the same time, when the side panel 2 and the limiter 31 are locked, the buffer can also provide a supporting force for the limiter 31, so that the side panel 2 and the limiter 31 are locked more stably, and the stability of the side panel 2 in the unfolded state is improved. Furthermore, after the external force on the button body 321 disappears, the button 32 and the limiter 31 can be restored to their original positions under the action of the buffer.

[0074] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the buffer portion 323 includes a first buffer rod 3231 and a second buffer rod 3232 connected at an angle, the end of the first buffer rod 3231 away from the second buffer rod 3232 is connected to the fixed portion 322, and the end of the second buffer rod 3232 away from the first buffer rod 3231 is connected to the connection between the limit member 31 and the button body 321.

[0075] It is understandable that after being squeezed, the angle between the first buffer rod 3231 and the second buffer rod 3232 will change (decrease), which can provide buffer support and provide space for the movement of the button body 321 and the stopper 31. After the external force disappears, the angle between the first buffer rod 3231 and the second buffer rod 3232 returns to its original size.

[0076] like Figure 3As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the side panel 2 includes a side panel body 21 and a first plug-in portion 23, a rotating portion 22 is provided at one end of the side panel body 21, and the rotating portion 22 is connected to the dryer body 1 through a rotating shaft; the first plug-in portion 23 is protruded from the rotating portion 22, and the first plug-in portion 23 is inserted into or withdrawn from the limiting groove 3110 to lock or unlock the side panel 2 with the limiting member 31.

[0077] It can be understood that the rotating part 22 provides an installation basis for the installation of the rotating shaft; when the side panel 2 is in a closed state, the first plug-in part 23 withdraws from the outside of the limiting groove 3110, and when the side panel 2 is in an expanded state, the first plug-in part 23 is inserted into the limiting groove 3110, so that the limiting member 31 locks the first plug-in part 23, so that the side panel 2 can remain in the expanded state.

[0078] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the cross-sectional thickness of the rotating portion 22 is greater than the cross-sectional thickness of the side plate body 21 , which can improve the strength of the rotating portion 22 .

[0079] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, a base 4 is further included. When the side panel 2 is in a closed state, one end of the side panel 2 away from the dryer body 1 is detachably connected to the base 4.

[0080] It is understandable that the base 4 can provide a storage position, so the clothes dryer does not need to be hung all the time, and can be moved at will for convenient storage. The base 4, the side panels 2 and the clothes dryer body 1 enclose a storage cavity, and the clothes dryer cover can be removed and stored in the storage cavity.

[0081] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, a second plug-in portion 25 is provided at one end of the side plate 2 away from the dryer body 1;

[0082] The base 4 includes a base body 41 and a second limiting structure 42 .

The second limiting structure 42 is provided on the base body 41 , and the second limiting structure 42 cooperates with the second plug-in portion 25 in limiting manner.

[0083] It is understandable that the positioning hole 4110 provides positioning for the second plug-in portion 25, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid positioning and installation. After the second plug-in portion 25 is inserted into the positioning hole 4110, the side plate 2 is connected to the base 4 through the first limiting structure 3.

[0084] like Figure 4As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the second plug-in portion 25 is provided with a plug-in hole 2510; the base body 41 is provided with a mounting cavity 410, a first avoidance hole 420 and a second avoidance hole 430, and the first avoidance hole 420 and the second avoidance hole 430 are respectively connected to the mounting cavity 410;

[0085] The second limiting structure 42 includes a pushing member 421, a telescopic member 422 and a reset member (not shown in the figure), the pushing member 421 is movably arranged in the installation cavity 410, the pushing member 421 is provided with a pushing portion 4211, and the pushing portion 4211 is movably arranged in the first avoiding hole 420; the telescopic member 422 is movably arranged in the installation cavity 410, and is arranged in the second avoiding hole 430; the telescopic member 422 is connected to the pushing member 421; the telescopic member 422 is inserted into or withdrawn from the plug-in hole 2510 under the drive of the pushing member 421; the reset member is connected to the pushing member 421, and is used to provide a force on the pushing member 421 toward the plug-in hole 2510.

[0086] It can be understood that the push portion 4211 is movably arranged in the first avoidance hole 420, so that the user can push the push portion 4211 to drive the push member 421 to move, and the moving push member 421 drives the telescopic member 422 to move, so that the telescopic member 422 is inserted into or withdrawn from the plug hole 2510, so as to achieve the clamping or unlocking of the base 4 and the side panel 2. Among them, the reset member can provide a force to the push member 421 or the telescopic member 422 in the direction of the plug hole 2510, so that the telescopic member 422 is stably inserted into the plug hole 2510, thereby improving the connection stability between the side panel 2 and the base 4.

[0087] In this embodiment, the first avoidance hole 420 is located at the bottom of the base 4, the second avoidance hole 430 is located on the peripheral side of the base body 41, the second plug-in portion 25 of the side panel 2 is inserted into the positioning hole 4110 along the first direction, and the telescopic member 422 moves linearly along the second direction driven by the pushing member 421, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
