[0002] With the development of society, consumers' demand for clothes drying machines is not limited to drying clothes. They also have higher and higher demands for other functions, such as disinfection and sterilization. Currently, clothes drying machines on the market are generally disinfected by UVC ultraviolet lamps, ozone, and plasma. UVC ultraviolet lamps cannot be directly contacted by the human body, and excessive ozone can cause harm to the human body. Both have certain limitations. Plasma disinfection, as a healthy disinfection method, is more popular among consumers.

[0003] The existing plasma disinfection method generally uses a high voltage to ionize the air at the emission tip of the plasma generator to generate positive and negative ions. However, the emission tips of the plasma generator are usually limited in number, resulting in a limited number of ions generated, and the positive and negative ions must be blown out to the surface of the clothes and the indoor space through a fan to disinfect the clothes. This often generates more energy consumption and louder noise, and consumers have a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, a direct connection, or a connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] See also Figure 1-3 The embodiment of the present application provides an ion wind component, which is applied to a clothes drying machine. The ion wind component 10 is fixed in the main body shell, and includes: a high-voltage electrode group 11 and a low-voltage electrode group 12. The high-voltage electrode group 11 and the low-voltage electrode group 12 are arranged at a certain distance. The high-voltage electrode group 11 is connected to an external high-voltage power supply 30, and the low-voltage electrode group 12 is grounded to form an electric field. The high-voltage electrode group 11 ionizes the air to generate charged ions. When the electric field acts on the ions in the air, the positive and negative ions will be affected by the electric field force and move toward one end of the low-voltage electrode 121, and will drive the surrounding air to move together during the migration process, thereby forming an ion wind field. Along the wind field direction, the low-voltage electrode group 12 is located downstream of the high-voltage electrode group 11.

[0043] Further, in some embodiments, the high-voltage electrode group 11 includes at least one high-voltage electrode 111; the low-voltage electrode group 12 includes at least two low-voltage electrodes 121 arranged at intervals, and a wind duct 122 is formed between the two low-voltage electrodes 121. Specifically, the width of the wind duct 122 at the wind outlet end is greater than the width of the wind duct 122 at the wind inlet end, and when the ion wind passes through the wind duct 122, the wind resistance is smaller, so as to increase the flow rate of the ion wind.

[0044] Specifically, in some embodiments, the high-voltage electrode group 11 is provided with one high-voltage electrode 111, and the low-voltage electrode group 12 is provided with two low-voltage electrodes 121, and the two low-voltage electrodes 121 are arranged at intervals. In this arrangement, the two low-voltage electrodes 121 can be arranged symmetrically and tilted relative to the high-voltage electrode 111, or the opposite sides of the two low-voltage electrodes 121 can be arranged symmetrically and tilted, so that the width of the air outlet end of the air duct 122 is greater than the width of the air inlet end of the air duct 122.

[0045] Specifically, in some other embodiments, the high-voltage electrode group 11 includes a plurality of high-voltage electrodes 111 arranged in parallel and at equal intervals. The low-voltage electrode group 12 includes a plurality of low-voltage electrodes 121 arranged in parallel and at equal intervals, and the high-voltage electrodes 111 and the low-voltage electrodes 121 are arranged alternately along the spacing direction of the low-voltage electrodes 121 or the high-voltage electrodes 111. In this arrangement, the low-voltage electrode 121 is arranged in a sheet shape, and the thickness of the low-voltage electrode 121 gradually narrows along the wind field direction. In this way, along the wind field direction, the width of the air duct 122 between two adjacent low-voltage electrodes 121 gradually widens.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments, with the plane perpendicular to the wind field direction as the projection plane, the orthographic projection of the high-voltage electrode 111 on the projection plane is located between the orthographic projections of two adjacent low-voltage electrodes 121 on the projection plane. In this way, a stronger electric field can be generated, thereby accelerating the movement of gas molecules or atoms and increasing the collision frequency and energy between them. In addition, under this arrangement, the two low-voltage electrodes 121 can more effectively collect and guide ions, making them more concentrated and stable in the plasma generation area, which helps to better form and maintain plasma.

[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the high-voltage electrode group 11 and the low-voltage electrode group 12 are arranged in parallel, and the spacing is set to be within 50 mm, so that the high-voltage electrode group 11 and the low-voltage electrode group 12 can cooperate to generate a stable electric field, thereby ensuring the stability of the ion operation process. However, if the spacing between the high-voltage electrode group 11 and the low-voltage electrode group 12 is too small, the amount of ozone will increase significantly. Preferably, the spacing between the high-voltage electrode group 11 and the low-voltage electrode group 12 is set to 10-20 mm, and more preferably, the spacing between the high-voltage electrode group 11 and the low-voltage electrode group 12 is set to 15 mm, so that the stability of the ozone amount and the electric field can be taken into account; at the same time, the overall thickness of the ion wind component 10 can be guaranteed, so that the ion wind component 10 can be subsequently set in the main body shell to maintain the integrity of the appearance of the clothes drying machine.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the high-voltage electrode 111 is in the shape of a filament with a large radius of curvature and has a strong discharge performance; the material of the high-voltage electrode can be molybdenum wire, tungsten wire, copper wire, etc. Similarly, the high-voltage electrode 111 can also be in the shape of an elongated strip with a certain width. It can be understood that the smaller the diameter or width of the high-voltage electrode 111, the higher its ionization efficiency for the air, the more charged ions are generated, and the greater the volume of the ion wind. Preferably, the high-voltage electrode 111 is in the shape of a filament with a diameter not greater than 0.3 mm, which is conducive to increasing the wind speed and volume of the ion wind. In some embodiments, a conductive coating, such as graphene, can also be provided on the surface of the high-voltage electrode 111 to enhance the discharge capacity of the high-voltage electrode 111.

[0049] Further, in some embodiments, the low-voltage electrode can be an aluminum plate, a steel plate or a conductive plastic. The length of the low-voltage electrode 121 along the wind field direction is 20-30 mm. In this way, it can be avoided that the wind duct 122 is too long due to the low-voltage electrode 121 being too long, thereby increasing the wind resistance of the wind duct 122 to the ion wind, and at the same time, it can be avoided that the wind duct 122 is too short due to the low-voltage electrode 121 being too short, the ionization efficiency of the ion wind component 10 is low, and the resulting ion wind volume is small, affecting the sterilization effect of the ion wind component 10. Preferably, the length of the low-voltage electrode 121 along the wind field direction is 25 mm.

[0050] Further, in some embodiments, the ion wind component 10 also includes a first frame 13 and a second frame 14; the high-voltage electrode 111 is fixed in the first frame 13, and is fixedly connected to the mainframe housing through the first frame 13; the low-voltage electrode 121 is fixed in the second frame 14, and is fixedly connected to the mainframe housing through the second frame 14. Along the wind field direction, the second frame 14 is located downstream of the first frame 13, and is spaced or abutted against the first frame 13. Further, in some embodiments, the first frame 13 and the second frame 14 are provided with mutually cooperating fixing structures to fix the first frame 13 and the second frame 14, thereby realizing the modular design of the ion wind component 10 and facilitating the subsequent application of the ion wind component 10.

[0051] It can be understood that the first frame 13 and the second frame 14 are both insulating frames, and are arranged to form a plasma generating area to prevent the charged ions generated by the ion wind assembly 10 from escaping toward the outside of the air duct 122 and affecting the effective plasma air volume. Preferably, the outer frame size of the first frame 13 and the second frame 14 is consistent, and along the wind field direction, the length of the second frame 14 in this direction is greater than or equal to the length of the low-voltage electrode 121 in this direction, so that the low-voltage electrode 121 is completely embedded in the second frame 14.

[0052] In some other embodiments, the first frame 13 and the second frame 14 are an integrated frame, and the high-voltage electrode group 11 and the low-voltage electrode group 12 are arranged in parallel inside the integrated frame at a certain distance. Along the wind field direction, the end of the integrated frame close to the high-voltage electrode group 11 is the air inlet end, and the end close to the low-voltage electrode group 12 is the air outlet end.

[0053] It can be seen that the ion wind component 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application generates a large number of positive and negative ions through high-voltage ionized air, and uses the movement of a large number of positive and negative ions to form a high-speed airflow, thereby achieving large-area disinfection and sterilization of clothing, and at the same time can also purify indoor air; and the ion wind component 10 does not require a fan drive, which can achieve noise reduction while saving energy.

[0054] See also Figure 4-6 The embodiment of the present application also provides a clothes drying machine host 100, including: a host housing 20 and at least one group of ion wind components 10, the ion wind components 10 are fixed in the host housing 20, and the ion wind components 10 ionize the air to generate a large amount of ion wind to disinfect and sterilize the clothes under the clothes drying machine host 100 or the indoor air.

[0055] It is understandable that the ion wind component 10 can be arranged in a variety of ways in the host housing 20. Preferably, the ion wind component 10 is arranged along the length direction of the host housing 20, and one end of the low-voltage electrode 121 is arranged close to the ground. More preferably, the ion wind component 10 is divided into two groups, which are parallel to the length direction of the host housing 20 and spaced at both ends of the width direction of the host housing 20. A high-voltage power supply 30 is arranged in the host housing 20. The high-voltage power supply 30 is arranged between the two groups of ion wind components 10, connected to the high-voltage electrodes 111 on both sides, and provides pulse current to the high-voltage electrodes 111 on both sides. In this embodiment, the voltage of the high-voltage power supply 30 is less than 50KV.

[0056] Further, in some embodiments, the host housing 20 includes a top cover 22, a face cover 21 and two side panels 23, the top cover 22 and the face cover 21 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, the two side panels 23 are respectively arranged on both sides of the top cover 22 and the face cover 21, and are surrounded by the top cover 22 and the face cover 21 to form an accommodation space, and the ion wind component 10 is fixedly arranged in the accommodation space. Specifically, the ion wind component 10 is arranged parallel to the length direction of the host housing 20, its high voltage electrode 111 is arranged close to the top cover 22, and its low voltage electrode 121 is arranged close to the face cover 21.

[0057] Furthermore, the cover 21 is provided with an air outlet 211 at a position corresponding to the air outlet end of the low-voltage electrode 121, and the side panel 23 or the top cover 22 is provided with an air inlet 231, and preferably, the air inlet 231 is provided on the side panel 23. External air enters the accommodating space through the air inlet 231, and then the high-voltage electrode 111 ionizes the air to generate charged ions, and these positive and negative ions are acted upon by the electric field force and move toward one end of the low-voltage electrode 121, and in the process of migration, they drive the surrounding air to move together, thereby forming ion wind, which is blown out from the air outlet 211 to disinfect and sterilize the clothes under the main unit 100 of the clothes drying machine.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the host housing 20 is also provided with an air guide 40, one end of which is close to or abuts against the air outlet end of the ion wind component 10, and the other end extends to the air outlet 211, and is used to guide the ion wind blown out by the ion wind component 10 to the air outlet 211, so as to avoid plasma dispersion and increase the air volume of the ion wind of the clothes drying machine host 100. Specifically, the air guide 40 is provided with a plurality of guide plates with adjustable inclination angles, which can adjust the air outlet angle of the ion wind so that the ion wind is blown to the area that needs to be disinfected, thereby improving the disinfection efficiency. The specific structure of the guide plate is not described in detail here.

[0059] The clothes drying machine host provided in the embodiment of the present application can simplify the internal structure of the clothes drying machine host by setting a modular ion wind component in the host shell, thereby achieving silent disinfection, energy saving and environmental protection.

[0060] The embodiment of the present application also provides a clothes drying machine, including the clothes drying machine host provided in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and the utility model is also intended to include these modifications and modifications.
