[0031] 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 of 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.

[0032] In addition, the utility model may repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples, and such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, and does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the utility model provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0033] The present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0034] The first embodiment of the utility model provides a pipeline assembly. Figure 1 to Figure 2The pipe assembly is installed inside the shell 300, and the pipe assembly includes a pipe body 100 and a fixing member 200. The pipe body 100 has an open end 110; the fixing member 200 includes a base 210 and a support portion 220, and the support portion 220 is connected to the base 210; the support portion 220 is suitable for fixing the pipe body 100 so that the end face of the open end 110 of the pipe body 100 abuts against the inner wall of the shell 300.

[0035] The base 210 is used to fix the fixing member 200, and fix the pipe body 100 through the support part 220, so that the end face of the open end 110 of the pipe body 100 abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 300 to ensure the sealing between the open end 110 of the pipe body 100 and the outer shell 300, and prevent the fluid from overflowing from the gap between the pipe body 100 and the outer shell 300.

[0036] The pipe body 100 is suitable for passage of fluids such as liquids and gases, and the support portion 220 can fix the pipe body 100 at a specific installation position 221 and maintain a specific angle to prevent the pipe body 100 from being offset due to the impact of the fluid inside the pipe body 100 during operation.

[0037] The contact portion between the open end 110 and the housing 300 may be made of a soft material, so that the open end 110 is deformed when in contact, thereby reducing the gap between the open end 110 and the housing 300, and reducing the risk of the fluid inside the pipe body 100 overflowing from the gap between the open end 110 and the housing 300. Of course, in other embodiments, the pipe body 100 may be made entirely of a soft material, and the angle of the pipe body 100 may be freely changed, thereby increasing the flexibility of use.

[0038] Generally, a through hole 340 is provided on the shell 300 . When the pipe body 100 abuts against the inner wall of the shell 300 , the pipe body 100 is connected with the through hole 340 , and the fluid inside the pipe body 100 flows out through the opening end 110 and the through hole 340 on the shell 300 .

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The support part 220 is sleeved on the pipe body 100, and the pipe body 100 can be fixed by the support part 220. Compared with other connection methods such as threaded connection, the embodiment of the utility model sleeves the support part 220 on the pipe body 100, and the connection between the fixing member 200 and the pipe body 100 can be completed without additional tools, which is simple and quick to operate.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 3The pipe body 100 includes an extension portion 120 and a main body 130. The extension portion 120 is connected to the main body 130 and is folded outward from the opening end 110. A snap-fit ​​groove 140 is formed between the extension portion 120 and the outer wall of the main body 130. The support portion 220 is at least partially clamped in the clamping groove 140. The support portion 220 is at least partially clamped in the clamping groove 140, which can improve the reliability of the connection between the support portion 220 and the pipe body 100 and prevent the pipe body 100 from slipping off the support portion 220. The extension portion 120 is folded outward from the opening end 110. A snap-fit ​​groove 140 is formed between the extension portion 120 and the outer wall of the main body 130, which can more accurately control the direction of the opening end 110, which is conducive to the close fit between the opening end 110 and the housing 300. The extension portion 120 is folded outward from the open end 110, further limiting the relative displacement between the pipe body 100 and the support portion 220, and the engaging groove 140 can be formed without machining the pipe body 100, thus simplifying the machining process of the pipe body 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the support portion 220 can also be completely engaged in the engaging groove 140.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 3 , one of the extension part 120 and the support part 220 is provided with a protrusion 222, and the other is provided with a recessed part 121 corresponding to the protrusion 222. Through the cooperation of the protrusion 222 and the recessed part 121, the reliability of the connection between the support part 220 and the pipe body 100 can be further improved, and displacement between the support part 220 and the pipe body 100 can be prevented to ensure the stability of the operation of the pipe assembly; at the same time, the cooperation of the protrusion 222 and the recessed part 121 has a certain positioning effect, so that the pipe body 100 can be quickly installed in the correct position. Multiple protrusions 222 and recessed parts 121 can be correspondingly provided to improve the fixing effect; the number of protrusions 222 and recessed parts 121 can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the utility model does not specifically limit the number of protrusions 222 and recessed parts 121. The recessed portion 121 may be disposed at the end of the extending portion 120 , which facilitates the matching of the recessed portion 121 and the raised portion 222 and is also beneficial to the processing of the recessed portion 121 .

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 3The support part 220 is provided with a mounting position 221 of the temperature sensor, and the pipeline body 100 is provided with a through hole 131, which corresponds to the mounting position 221; the through hole 131 is suitable for the probe of the temperature sensor to pass through. Compared with directly fixing the temperature sensor on the pipeline body 100, the embodiment of the utility model sets the mounting position 221 of the temperature sensor on the support part 220, which can improve the stability of the temperature sensor and prevent the temperature sensor from shaking during operation, which affects the stability of the temperature sensor; the probe of the temperature sensor can pass through the through hole 131 to enter the interior of the pipeline body 100 to measure the temperature.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The base 210 includes a fixing plate 211 and a connecting plate 212. The fixing plate 211 is provided with a fixing hole 2111, and the fixing hole 2111 is suitable for fixing the fixing member 200. The connecting plate 212 connects the fixing plate 211 and the supporting portion 220, and an installation space 213 is formed between the connecting plate 212 and the fixing plate 211. Bolts can be passed through the fixing holes 2111 to fix the fixing member 200. During installation, the bolts can be placed in the installation space 213 first, and then screwed in. The base 210 also includes a back plate 215, and the back plate 215 connects the connecting plate 212 and the fixing plate 211 to improve the stability of the base 210. The base 210 is formed by connecting the plate bodies, which can reduce the weight of the base 210 and reduce the material used for the base 210.

[0044] The second embodiment of the utility model provides a drying device, see Figure 1 , including a housing 300 and a pipeline assembly.

[0045] It can be understood that if the pipeline assembly has the beneficial effects of the above embodiments, then the drying equipment will correspondingly have the beneficial effects of the above embodiments. The specific implementation methods thereof may refer to the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0046] Drying equipment includes but is not limited to washing and drying machines, dishwashers, clothes dryers, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The housing 300 is provided with a through hole 340, and the open end 110 abuts against the through hole 340 to communicate with the interior of the pipe body 100; the fluid inside the pipe body 100 can flow through the open end 110 and the through hole 340 to the outside of the housing 300. The housing 300 may include an arc-shaped inner wall, which can improve the strength and stability of the housing 300, make better use of space, and reduce redundant space.

[0048] In some embodiments, see Figure 5The opening end 110 has a first guide surface 111 matching the inner wall to improve the fit between the opening end 110 and the housing 300, thereby reducing the gap between the pipe body 100 and the housing 300. The curvature of the first guide surface 111 can be set according to the inner wall of the housing 300, and the first guide surface 111 only needs to fit the inner wall of the housing 300.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The support part 220 has a second guide surface 223 corresponding to the first guide surface 111, so that the support part 220 clamps the open end 110 of the pipe body 100. The first guide surface 111 can match the second guide surface 223, so that the support force of the support part 220 at each position of the end surface of the open end 110 remains consistent.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The drying device also includes an inner tank 350, which is suitable for placing clothes and tableware waiting to be dried. The pipeline body 100 has a connecting end 150, which is connected to the interior of the inner tank 350 to pass gas into the inner tank 350 or discharge the gas inside the inner tank 350.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The housing 300 includes a support frame 310 and a cover 320, wherein the cover 320 is sleeved on the outside of the support frame 310; a through hole 340 is provided on the cover 320; the cover 320 can provide a physical barrier for the drying device to prevent dust, water vapor and other impurities from entering the interior of the drying device; the support frame 310 can provide support for the parts inside the drying device. Among them, the through hole 340 is provided on the cover 320.

[0052] Since the shell 300 includes a support frame 310 and a cover body 320, the cover body 320 is sleeved on the outside of the support frame 310, and the through hole 340 is set on the cover body 320. If a fixed structure is directly set on the cover body 320, it is difficult to control the gap between the channel body and the cover body 320 within a reasonable range.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 to Figure 2 The base 210 is fixed on the support frame 310. The support frame 310 is used to fix the fixing member 200, and then the cover body 320 is covered on the outside of the support frame 310, so that the open end 110 abuts against the cover body 320, and there is no need to set a fixing structure on the cover body 320, which reduces the processing difficulty of the cover body 320.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 to Figure 2The support frame 310 is a plate body, the edge of the support frame 310 is bent inward to form a fixed edge, and the base 210 is fixed to the fixed edge; the fixed edge can be formed by stamping the plate body, thereby improving the production efficiency of the support frame 310 and minimizing material waste.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The base 210 is provided with a first positioning portion 214, see Figure 2 , a second positioning portion 330 is provided on the housing 300, and the first positioning portion 214 cooperates with the second positioning portion 330. The cooperation between the first positioning portion 214 and the second positioning portion 330 can improve the stability of the connection between the base 210 and the housing 300; the first positioning portion 214 can be a protrusion, and the second positioning portion 330 can be a hole body, and the protrusion can be clamped on the hole body to achieve a positioning effect on the base 210 and prevent the base 210 from shifting. Multiple protrusions and hole bodies can be provided correspondingly to achieve a better positioning effect; the hole body can be stamped on the fixed edge to improve the processing efficiency of the support frame 310. In other embodiments, the first positioning portion 214 and the second positioning portion 330 can also be other complex clamping structures, which are not particularly limited in the embodiments of the utility model.
