DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] 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. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical direction", "upper", "lower", "horizontal" and the like indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] 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.

[0040] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a main body side panel for a clothes drying machine, which is arranged on the side of the main body, and the main body side panel includes: an end plate 11, and an upper guide plate 12 and a lower guide plate 13 extending in the width direction of the end plate 11. The end plate 11 is provided with an air inlet 111, which is surrounded by the upper guide plate 12 and the lower guide plate 13 to form an air duct 14. The upper guide plate 12 and the lower guide plate 13 extend in the same direction, and the upper guide plate 12 and the lower guide plate 13 are spaced a certain distance away from one end of the end plate 11 to form an air outlet 15, so that the air inlet direction of the air duct 14 is at a certain angle to the air outlet direction. In this way, the external airflow enters the air duct 14 through the air inlet 111, is guided by the upper guide plate 12 and the lower guide plate 13, and blows out from the air outlet 15 toward the ground.

[0041] It can be understood that the two ends of the end plate 11 in the length direction protrude from the upper guide plate 12 and the lower guide plate 13. In this way, in the subsequent assembly process, the main engine side panel 10 is arranged on the side of the main engine, the end plate 11 forms the outer wall of the main engine, and the air duct 14 is located inside the main engine.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the upper guide plate 12 is a curved plate 200 with a middle portion protruding toward the outside of the air duct 14, and the lower guide plate 13 is a curved plate 200 with a middle portion protruding toward the inside of the air duct 14. This arrangement allows the air duct 14 to maintain a relatively uniform width while guiding the airflow, so as to maintain a stable airflow velocity and reduce turbulence during the airflow operation.

[0043] Specifically, in the present embodiment, along the airflow direction, the upper air guide plate 12 is provided with a first air inlet section 121, a first air guide section 122 and a first air outlet section 123. One end of the first air inlet section 121 is connected to the upper end portion in the width direction of the end plate 11, and the other end is connected to the first air guide section 122. The first air guide section 122 is an arc surface, and the convex direction of the arc surface is toward the outside of the air duct 14. In this way, when the airflow direction changes, the airflow in the upper part of the air duct 14 is guided through the first air guide section 122 to avoid the generation of vortices and reduce the airflow velocity. One end of the first air outlet section 123 is connected to the first air guide section 122, and the other end extends toward the ground, which is used to guide the airflow to blow toward the ground.

[0044] It is understandable that the first air outlet section 123 can also be set to be inclined at a certain angle relative to the vertical plane according to the needs of the air outlet angle, which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, along the direction of the airflow, the lower air guide plate 13 is provided with a second air inlet section 131, a second air guide section 132, and a second air outlet section 133. One end of the second air inlet section 131 is connected to the lower end portion of the end plate 11 in the width direction, and the other end is connected to the second air guide section 132. The second air inlet section 131 is gradually bent toward the inside of the air duct 14 along the airflow direction, so that the width of the air duct 14 gradually narrows to increase the wind speed at the air inlet end of the air duct 14. One end of the second air outlet section 133 is connected to the second air guide section 132, and the other end extends toward the ground, so as to guide the airflow to blow out toward the ground.

[0046] It is understandable that the second air outlet section 133 can also be arranged at a certain angle relative to the vertical plane according to the need of the air outlet angle; and the second air outlet section 133 can be parallel to the first air outlet section 123, or can be arranged at a certain angle to the first air outlet section 123. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first air outlet section 123 is arranged in parallel with the second air outlet section 133, and is parallel to the end plate 11, so that the air inlet airflow direction of the air duct 14 is perpendicular to the air outlet airflow direction of the air duct 14.

[0047] In some embodiments, a swing wind structure is provided between the first air outlet section 123 and the second air outlet section 133 to further adjust the air outlet angle, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0048] See also Figure 5 It can be understood that during the assembly of the main engine side panel 10, the wind wheel 31 is arranged in the wind duct 14 to provide power for the air flow. In this embodiment, the ends of the first air inlet section 121 and the second air inlet section 131 away from the end plate 11 face the air inlet end of the wind wheel 31, and the airflow entering the air duct 14 through the air inlet 111 can be guided to the wind wheel 31, and the airflow blown out of the wind wheel 31 is guided through the first guide section and the second guide section, and finally blown out through the first air outlet section 123 and the second air outlet section 133, so that the airflow direction of the airflow is perpendicular to the airflow direction of the airflow.

[0049] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 Furthermore, in some embodiments, step surfaces 113 are extended on both sides of the end plate 11 along its length direction, and the step surfaces 113 are sunk into the air duct 14 by a certain assembly depth to facilitate subsequent assembly to maintain the integrity of the appearance.

[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the end plate 11 is provided with arcuate surfaces 112 protruding toward the outside of the air duct 14 on both sides along the length direction thereof, so that the side surface of the end plate 11 is curved, and the overall appearance is more beautiful. A step surface 113 that sinks toward the inside of the air duct 14 is provided at the end of the arcuate surface 112 for subsequent assembly. In this embodiment, the overall end plate 11 is U-shaped, and the step surface 113 is provided parallel to the horizontal plane. The ends of the upper guide plate 12 and the lower guide plate 13 on the same side are respectively connected to the step surface 113, and are located between the planes where the step surface 113 is located.

[0051] It should be noted that the host side panel 10 is integrally formed and can be processed from sheet metal, profiles, or plastics, etc., without limitation. The host side panel 10 is provided with an air duct 14, which can directly accommodate components such as a wind wheel, has a high overall appearance, and significantly improves the strength of the components; at the same time, the integrated host side panel 10 can avoid poor sealing caused by assembly gaps, thereby affecting the air volume. During assembly, there is no need to assemble an air duct separately, which can reduce the number of components, reduce costs, and effectively improve production efficiency.

[0052] See also Figure 3-5, the embodiment of the present application also provides a drying device, which is arranged in the main unit. The drying device 100 includes: a main unit side plate 10 and a fan assembly 30, and the fan assembly 30 is fixed in the air duct 14. In some embodiments, the air duct 14 is provided with fixed plates 20 at both ends along the length direction of the end plate 11, which are used to fix the fan assembly 30. The air inlet 111 is opened on the end plate 11 and is located between the two fixed plates 20. The fan assembly 30 includes a wind wheel 31, a rotating shaft, a motor 32 and a shaft sleeve 34; the motor 32 is fixed to the fixed plate 20 through a motor bracket 33, and is located on the end surface of the fixed plate 20 away from the air duct 14; the output end of the motor 32 passes through the fixed plate 20 and is connected to one end of the wind wheel 31. The other end of the wind wheel 31 is rotatably connected to another fixed plate 20 through a rotating shaft, and the shaft sleeve 34 is arranged on the end surface of the fixed plate 20 away from the air duct 14 and is connected to the rotating shaft.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fan assembly 30 is a cross-flow fan assembly, and the air inlet end of the fan 31 is arranged at one end of the first air inlet section 121 and the second air inlet section 131 away from the end plate 11. Along the air flow direction, the first air inlet section 121 and the second air inlet section 131 gradually converge, so that the flow rate of the air flow of the fan 31 can be increased.

[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the drying device 100 is further provided with a heating component 40, which is arranged in the air duct 14, located upstream of the air path of the fan component 30 or located downstream of the air path of the fan component 30, and is used to heat the airflow, and then blow it out through the fan 31 to heat and dry the clothes. The heating component 40 is arranged parallel to the fan 31, and its two ends are respectively fixed to the fixing plate 20.

[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the heating assembly 40 is provided with a plurality of heating plates parallel to the airflow direction, and when the airflow passes through the heating plates, heat is exchanged with the heating plates to form a hot airflow, which is then blown out through the air outlet 15 to heat and dry the clothes below. Specifically, the heating assembly 40 is a PTC heater.

[0056] Preferably, in this embodiment, the heating component 40 is arranged upstream of the wind path of the fan component 30, and the external airflow enters the air duct 14 through the air inlet 111, first performs heat exchange with the heating component 40 to form a hot airflow, and then blows out from the air outlet 15 through the fan 31. In this way, the thickness of the drying device 100 can be reduced, making the entire drying device 100 thinner, and after being assembled to the main unit, the overall appearance is more beautiful.

[0057] See also Figure 5-7The embodiment of the present application also provides a clothes drying machine, including a main machine, which includes a panel 200 and at least one set of drying devices 100. The drying device 100 is arranged on one side of the panel 200, and the panel 200 is provided with a panel air outlet 201; the end plate 11 is fixedly arranged on one side of the panel 200, and the upper guide plate 12 and the lower guide plate 13 are arranged close to or abutting against the panel 200 at one end near the air outlet 15, so that the air outlet 15 is arranged opposite to the panel air outlet 201. Specifically, the panel 200 abuts against the step surface 113 connected to the lower guide plate 13. It can be understood that the sinking height of the step surface 113 is equal to the thickness of the panel 200, so that the appearance surface of the panel 200 is kept horizontal with the lower end of the end plate 11, so that the appearance surface of the panel 200 is more smoothly connected with the appearance surface of the end plate 11, and the integrity of the clothes drying machine is stronger.

[0058] Furthermore, the main machine is also provided with a bottom plate 300, which abuts against the step surface 113 connected to the upper guide plate 12, and its outer end surface is kept level with the upper end of the end plate 11 to maintain the integrity of the clothes drying machine.

[0059] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application are:

[0064] 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, and the utility model is also intended to include these modifications and modifications.
