Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of drying equipment, and specifically, relates to a drying auxiliary device, and also to a clothes drying equipment including the above-mentioned drying auxiliary device. Background Art

[0002] When a dryer is used for drying small items and removing odors and lint, a machine that can only rotate forward is difficult to solve the problem of entanglement. For example, when drying towels, sheets, children's clothes, thin summer clothes and blankets, if entanglement occurs, the clothes will have obvious wrinkles, and entanglement of clothes will cause the dried clothes to be partially damp, with some places being very dry and some places not dry.

[0003] The current technical solution to solve the entanglement problem in the industry is to use forward and reverse rotation. The machine can solve the problem of clothes clumping and entanglement to a large extent by rotating in different directions. At present, the forward and reverse rotation solutions commonly used in dryers are divided into the following two types.

[0004] First, the drum directly adopts the forward and reverse mode, but because the drum and internal circulation fan of the machine are driven by the same motor, the internal circulation fan cannot work when the drum reverses, and there is a situation of internal circulation without wind, which reduces the drying efficiency and causes the drying time to be extended.

[0005] The second is to adopt an independent fan solution. The drum and the internal circulation fan are driven by different motors respectively. When the drum rotates forward or reverse, the internal circulation fan can work normally. This can solve the problem of no wind in the internal circulation during reversal without losing drying time. However, this will increase costs and reduce product competitiveness.

[0006] In view of this, how to design a technology to solve the problem of clothes entanglement during drying without using an independent fan and avoiding loss of drying efficiency is the technical problem to be solved by this application. Utility Model Content

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting rods are provided in plurality and are spaced apart from each other, ends of the plurality of mounting rods are interconnected and provided with connectors, and the connectors are configured to be detachably connected to the housing.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, a mounting hole is provided on the inner wall of the inner cavity, and the connecting member is configured as a pin for being inserted into the mounting hole.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, two mounting rods are provided, and the auxiliary rollers and the pins on the two mounting rods are parallel to each other and distributed in a triangle.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, a hair removal structure is provided on the outer side of the auxiliary roller, and the hair removal structure is a brush and / or a hair-adhesive layer.

[0041] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0042] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0043] The present application provides a drying auxiliary device and a clothes drying device, wherein the drying auxiliary device is applied to the clothes drying device. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clothes drying device includes a housing 1 and a drum 2. The housing 1 is provided with an inner cavity 11 and an inlet 12. The inlet 12 is an open opening of the inner cavity 11. The drum 2 is horizontally arranged in the inner cavity 11 of the housing 1 and can rotate around its own axis. One end of the drum 2 facing the inlet 12 is an open outer end, and the other end of the drum 2 opposite to the inlet 12 is an inner end.

[0044] The clothes to be dried can be put into the drum 2 through the input port 12 of the housing 1, and the clothes can be tumbled when the drum 2 rotates. The housing 1 is also provided with an air duct for providing a drying airflow to the inner cavity 11 to dry the clothes in the drum 2. The drying auxiliary device 3 is used to be arranged in the drum 2, and can prevent the tumbling clothes in the drum 2 from clumping and entanglement.

[0045] In one embodiment of the drying auxiliary device provided in the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drying auxiliary device 3 includes a mounting rod 31 and an auxiliary roller 32. The auxiliary roller 32 is arranged on the mounting rod 31. The mounting rod 31 is used to be connected to the casing 1. The auxiliary roller 32 is configured to be eccentrically arranged in the drum 2. One end of the auxiliary roller 32 is used to face the inner end of the drum 2, and the other end is used to face the outer end of the drum 2.

[0046] When the drum 2 drives the clothes to tumble, the auxiliary roller 32 can continuously collide with the clothes to break up the clumped clothes and prevent the clothes from clumping and entangled. In addition, the drying auxiliary device 3 has the advantages of simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0047] In detail, when the drying auxiliary device 3 is placed in the drum 2, the auxiliary roller 32 is located inside the drum 2, and the auxiliary roller 32 is connected to the housing 1 through the mounting rod 31. The clothes put into the drum 2 are piled up at the bottom of the drum 2, and the auxiliary roller 32 is eccentrically arranged in the drum 2, which is more in line with the position where the clothes are piled up in the drum 2, so that it can collide with more clothes, so that the effect of preventing clothes from being entangled is better.

[0048] In addition, the drum 2 rotates around the axis of its own center in the inner cavity 11, and one end of the auxiliary roller 32 faces the inner end of the drum, and the other end faces the outer end of the drum, so that the length direction of the auxiliary roller 32 is staggered with the rolling direction of the clothes, and can collide with more clothes to prevent the clothes from being entangled. The radial dimension of the auxiliary roller 32 is set to be larger than the radial dimension of the mounting rod 31 to increase the contact area with the clothes. The auxiliary roller 32 can be set to a cylinder, a prism, a sphere or other conventional shapes, which is not limited in this application.

[0049] At present, clothes drying equipment usually adopts the method of rotating the drum forward and reverse to prevent clothes from being entangled. In an existing drum forward and reverse rotation scheme, the drum and the fan providing drying airflow are driven by the same motor. The fan works when the drum rotates forward and does not work when the drum rotates reversely, resulting in low drying efficiency and prolonged drying time. In another drum forward and reverse rotation scheme, the drum and the fan are driven by two independent motors. The fan can work normally when the drum rotates forward or reverse, but the addition of a motor increases the cost of the product.

[0050] In the solution of the present application, the drying auxiliary device 3 is used in the drum 2 to directly prevent the clothes from being entangled. The drum 2 only needs to rotate in one direction and does not need to rotate forward or backward. Therefore, the drying efficiency will not be lost, and there is no need to use a more expensive independent fan.

[0051] like Figure 1 In a specific embodiment shown, the auxiliary roller 32 is configured to be set at a position close to the bottom of the drum 2, and has a gap between it and the inner wall of the drum 2, and does not contact the inner wall of the drum 2. The extension direction of the auxiliary roller 32 is consistent with the extension direction of the axis of the drum 2. The auxiliary roller 32 can thus collide with the clothes to a greater extent, break up the clumped clothes, and better prevent the clothes from being entangled.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at least one auxiliary roller 32 is disposed on each mounting rod 31, and the auxiliary roller 32 is disposed on the mounting rod 31 in a manner that it can rotate around an axis, or the auxiliary roller 32 is also disposed on the mounting rod 31 in a fixed manner. In some embodiments where the auxiliary roller 32 is rotatably disposed on the mounting rod 31, the auxiliary roller 32 is configured to be able to rotate around its own axis. Further, when a plurality of auxiliary rollers 32 are disposed on the mounting rod 31, the auxiliary rollers 32 located on the same mounting rod 31 can rotate relatively independently.

[0053] When the clothes tumbling in the drum 2 collide with the auxiliary roller 32, the auxiliary roller 32 can be driven to rotate, and the rotation of the auxiliary roller 32 can reduce the pulling on the clothes, which is conducive to assisting the clothes to tumble and can prevent the clothes from being entangled on the auxiliary roller 32. In detail, the mounting rod 31 is a round rod, and the auxiliary roller 32 is coaxially mounted on the mounting rod 31 and can rotate around the mounting rod 31.

[0054] In some embodiments, one end of the auxiliary roller 32 can be matched on the housing 1 through the mounting rod 31, and the other end is suspended. In other embodiments, both ends of the auxiliary roller 32 are matched on the housing 1 through the mounting rod 31, so as to be more stable.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting rod 31 includes a first section 311 and a second section 312, and the auxiliary roller 32 is arranged between the first section 311 and the second section 312. When the drying auxiliary device 3 is installed in the drum 2, the first section 311 of the mounting rod 31 faces the inner end of the drum 2, and the second section 312 faces the outer end of the drum 2.

[0056] Furthermore, the mounting rod 31 is configured such that the first section 311 thereof extends in a direction close to the axis of the drum 2 and is used to be detachably connected to the housing 1. The second section 312 of the mounting rod 31 extends in a direction away from the axis of the drum 2 and is used to be supported at the input port 12 of the housing 1. By disassembling the first section 311 of the mounting rod 31, the drying auxiliary device 3 can be disassembled. When using the drying device, the user can install or disassemble the drying auxiliary device 3 according to specific needs.

[0057] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary roller 32 can be configured as a sleeve structure and sleeved on the mounting rod 31 , and the first section 311 and the second section 312 of the mounting rod 31 are coaxially connected and extend from opposite ends of the auxiliary roller 32 .

[0058] In another embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the first section 311 and the second section 312 of the mounting rod 31 are two separate sections, and are respectively connected to opposite ends of the auxiliary roller 32 , so as to facilitate the mounting and dismounting of the auxiliary roller 32 .

[0059] In detail, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the inner end of the drum 2 cooperates with the inner wall of the inner cavity 11 to close the inner end of the drum 2, and the first section 311 of the mounting rod 31 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity 11 corresponding to the inner end of the drum 2. Specific detachable connection methods include but are not limited to snap connection, screw connection, threaded connection, etc. A support portion 121 may be provided at the inner edge of the input port 12, and the second section 312 of the mounting rod 31 extends out of the outer end of the drum 2 and is supported on the support portion 121 inside the input port 12.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting rods 31 of the drying auxiliary device 3 can be provided with multiple and spaced distributions, and the auxiliary rollers 32 on different mounting rods 31 are also spaced. The ends of the multiple mounting rods 31 are connected to each other and provided with connecting members, which are configured to be detachably connected to the housing 1.

[0061] In detail, the first sections 311 of the plurality of mounting rods 31 are connected to each other, and the connector is connected to the positions where the mounting rods 31 are connected to each other. The connector can be a pin, a threaded rod, a hook or other components that can achieve detachable connection, and the inner cavity 11 is correspondingly provided with a plug hole, a threaded hole, a hanging ring and other structures that match the connector. The connector can be connected to the first section 311 of the mounting rod 31 by welding, bonding, integral molding, clamping or other fixed connection methods.

[0062] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a specific embodiment shown, a mounting hole 13 is provided on the inner wall of the inner cavity 11, and the connecting member is provided as a pin 313 for inserting into the mounting hole. The mounting hole 13 can be provided on the side of the inner cavity 11 opposite to the input port 12. The pin 313 and the mounting hole 13 have the advantages of simple structure and convenient installation and disassembly, which can facilitate the user to disassemble and assemble by himself. Furthermore, the mounting hole 13 can be provided at a position coaxial with the axis of the drum 2.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the pin 313 is connected to the first section 311 of the mounting rod 31 through the fitting 314. One end of the pin 313 is fixedly connected to the side of the fitting 314 away from the auxiliary roller 32, and the other end is used to be inserted into the mounting hole 13. A slot is provided on this side of the fitting 314, and the first sections 311 of the plurality of mounting rods 31 connected to each other are engaged in the slot of the fitting 314.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, two mounting rods 31 are provided, each mounting rod 31 is provided with at least one auxiliary roller 32, and the auxiliary rollers 32 and pins 313 on the two mounting rods 31 are parallel to each other and distributed in a triangular shape. The first section 311 of the two mounting rods 31 connected to each other and the second section 312 separately supported at the input port 12 form a stable triangular structure that is not easy to shake and will not move under the collision of clothes.

[0065] In detail, the distances between the two auxiliary rollers 32 and the central axis of the drum 2 are equal, and the two auxiliary rollers 32 and the central axis of the drum 2 are distributed in an isosceles triangle. Figure 1 From a viewing angle, the two auxiliary rollers 32 are close to the bottom of the drum 2 and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the inner space of the drum 2.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, a hair removal structure may be provided on the outer side of the auxiliary roller 32, and the hair removal structure is used to remove hair debris adhered to the clothes. The hair removal structure is provided on at least part of the outer surface of the auxiliary roller 32. The hair removal structure may surround the circumference of the auxiliary roller 32. In some embodiments in which the drying auxiliary device 3 includes a plurality of auxiliary rollers 32, a hair removal structure is provided on the outer side of at least one auxiliary roller 32.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the outer hair removal structure of the auxiliary roller 32 can be a brush 321. When the auxiliary roller 32 contacts the clothes, the brush 321 is conducive to shaking the clothes loose, thereby more effectively preventing the clothes from being entangled, and the brush 321 can brush off the hair scraps adhering to the clothes, thereby having a cleaning effect on the clothes. In detail, the bristles of the brush 321 can be distributed around the circumference of the auxiliary roller 32. The auxiliary roller 32 is rotatably arranged on the mounting rod 31. When the clothes roll in the drum 2 and drive the auxiliary roller 32 to rotate, the brush 321 can rotate with the auxiliary roller 32, thereby having a better effect of preventing the clothes from being entangled and cleaning the hair scraps.

[0068] Furthermore, the brush 321 can be detachably arranged on the auxiliary roller 32; or, the brush 321 and the auxiliary roller 32 can be fixed together, and the auxiliary roller 32 is configured to be detachably connected to the mounting rod 31, and the brush 321 and the auxiliary roller 32 can be disassembled and assembled as a whole to facilitate replacement, cleaning, etc.

[0069] The brush 321 can be made of nylon, PE, animal hair or other materials. The diameter, length, etc. of the brush 321 can be arbitrarily selected according to specific needs such as the material of the clothes, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0070] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 5As shown, the hair removal structure on the outer side of the auxiliary roller 32 can be a hair-sticking layer 322. When the auxiliary roller 32 contacts the clothes, the hair-sticking layer 322 can stick away the hair on the clothes, thereby cleaning the clothes. The hair-sticking layer 322 can be made of sticky silica gel, hair-sticking paper, etc., which is not limited in this application.

[0071] Further, the wool-adhesive layer 322 is detachably arranged on the auxiliary roller 32 to facilitate disassembly and replacement.
