Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of clothes dryer devices, in particular to a foldable base and a clothes dryer. Background Art

[0002] A dryer is a device used to dry clothes, also called a clothes dryer. For many people with fast paces, frequent business travelers, and users who rent or live in a house for a short period of time, it is inconvenient to be equipped with a fixed large-volume dryer. Therefore, there are many foldable dryers on the market, but dryers generally need to be connected to the socket for use. Dryers on the market have the problem that the power cord cannot be completely hidden, resulting in the dryer still taking up a large space when stored. At the same time, there are problems with redundant power cords and easy damage. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a foldable base and a dryer to address the problem that the power cord of the dryer cannot be completely hidden and stored.

[0005] The present application discloses a foldable base, wherein a first bottom cover and a second bottom cover are installed at the bottom of a shell component, one end of the first bottom cover and one end of the second bottom cover can be rotated relative to the shell component to approach or form an angle, and a lock buckle can slide back and forth on the shell component to switch to a first position and a second position. When the lock buckle is in the first position, the first bottom cover and the second bottom cover are not restricted by the lock buckle, and the first bottom cover and the second bottom cover can be rotated respectively relative to the shell component to form an angle and play a supporting role, so that the dryer can be used upright, and at this time the internal space of the shell component is uncovered, and other components can be taken or placed in the shell component; when the first bottom cover and the second bottom cover are close to each other, the internal space of the shell component is covered, and the lock buckle can limit the first bottom cover and the second bottom cover by switching from the first position to the second position, so as to prevent the first bottom cover and the second bottom cover from rotating at will, thereby exposing the components stored in the shell component, which is inconvenient for the storage of the dryer. The foldable and openable structural design of the first bottom cover and the second bottom cover allows the power cord and other components of the dryer to be hidden in the outer shell assembly, solving the problem of redundant power cords making it inconvenient to store the dryer. The angle formed by the opening of the first bottom cover and the second bottom cover can help support the dryer to stand upright on a flat surface, making it easy to use.

When the first bottom cover body 21 and the second bottom cover body 31 are relatively parallel, the receiving groove 101 can be completely covered. At this time, the lock body 41 switches from the first position to the second position, and the seventh limiting groove 406 can simultaneously limit the first limiting protrusion 23 and the second limiting protrusion 33, so that the first bottom cover body 21 and the second bottom cover body 31 are fixedly covered at the notch of the receiving groove 101, thereby preventing the first bottom cover 2 and the second bottom cover 3 from rotating freely relative to the shell component 1, affecting the storage effect of the foldable base.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment is further defined as follows: it also includes a first gear and a second gear, the first gear is arranged on the first bottom cover 2 and is located at the connection between the first bottom cover 2 and the housing assembly 1, the second gear is arranged on the second bottom cover 3 and is located at the connection between the second bottom cover 3 and the housing assembly 1, the first gear is meshed with the second gear, and the rotation of the first bottom cover 2 can drive the rotation of the second bottom cover 3. By fixing the first gear on the first connecting column 22 of the first bottom cover 2, fixing the second gear on the second connecting column 32 of the second bottom cover 3, and the first gear is meshed with the second gear, when one of the first bottom cover 2 and the second bottom cover 3 rotates relative to the housing assembly 1, the other will be driven to rotate at the same time, making the opening and closing operation between the first bottom cover 2 and the second bottom cover 3 easier.

A flexible outer cover 8 is set at the air outlet 107. The hot airflow can expand the flexible outer cover 8 and form a local temperature area in the internal space of the flexible outer cover 8. The retractable clothes drying rod 7 can extend into the local temperature area, and the airflow entering the local temperature area will dry the clothes hung on the retractable clothes drying rod 7. When the clothes dryer is not in use, the flexible outer cover 8 can be disassembled and folded to be stored in the space on the shell assembly 1, and the retractable clothes drying rack can be retracted, so that the overall volume of the clothes dryer is miniaturized and more convenient for storage.

[0057] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiments, this embodiment further defines: it also includes a control component and a power cord, the control component is arranged on the housing component 1 and is located in the installation cavity 105, the fan 5 and the heating body 6 are both electrically connected to the control component, one end of the power cord is connected to the control component, and the end of the power cord away from the control component extends into the receiving groove 101. The fan 5 and the heating body 6 are both electrically connected to the control component, and a touch button is installed on the housing component 1 to connect to the control component. By manipulating the touch button, the control component can control the start and stop of the fan 5 and the heating body 6, which is convenient for users to use. One end of the power cord electrically connected to the outside world can extend to the outside world through the receiving groove 101, and the foldable base 100 can be folded to hide the power cord in the receiving groove 101, making the clothes dryer more concise as a whole and easy to store.

[0058] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0059] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. 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, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
