Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of clothes dryers, in particular to a lint filter of a clothes dryer and the clothes dryer. Background Art
[0002] When the existing clothes dryer is working, the rotation of the drum drives the clothes to tumble inside the drum, and the hot air passing through the drum dries the clothes. A small amount of lint will be generated during the tumbling and drying process, and the generated lint will flow with the hot air. In order to filter the lint in the hot air, a lint filter is usually set in the air duct of the clothes dryer to filter the longer lint in the hot air. In order to improve the overall filtering effect, a filter device with a fluff filter block is added downstream of the lint filter to filter the fine dust-like lint in the hot air. The filter device with the fluff filter block is set independently of the lint filter. The lint filter and the filter device with the fluff filter block need to be cleaned or replaced regularly to ensure the filtering effect. When the lint filter and the filter device with the fluff filter block need to be replaced or cleaned in the existing clothes dryer, the lint filter and the filter device with the fluff filter block need to be taken out and placed separately, and then cleaned or replaced separately. This process is relatively cumbersome and lacks convenience. Utility Model Content
