[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothes drying device, including: a shell 1, a cylinder 2, an air duct member 3, a fan assembly 4 and a driving assembly 5; the cylinder 2 is installed inside the shell 1, and the two opposite end faces of the cylinder 2 are respectively provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the end face provided with the air outlet is also provided with a drop-in port for dropping clothes; an air supply channel is formed inside the air duct member 3, and an air supply port and a return air port are respectively provided at both ends of the air supply channel, the air supply port is connected to the air inlet, and the return air port is connected to the air outlet; the fan assembly 4 is installed in the air supply channel, and can drive the air flow from the return air port to the air supply port; the driving assembly 5 is installed inside the shell 1, and the driving assembly 5 includes a motor 501, a driving wheel 502, a driven wheel 503, a belt 504, a first bracket 505 and an elastic member 506, the power end of the motor 501 is connected to the driving wheel 502, the driving wheel 502 and the driven wheel 503 are connected through the belt 504, and the diameter of the driving wheel 502 is smaller than the diameter of the driven wheel 503, the driven wheel 503 is abutted against the outer wall of the cylinder 2 for transmission, the first bracket 505 is installed above the motor 501, the driven wheel 503 is installed on the first bracket 505, one end of the elastic member 506 is connected to the first bracket 505, and the other end is connected to the inner bottom surface of the shell 1, and the elastic member 506 can adjust the height position of the first bracket 505.

[0030] Based on the above scheme, the user puts the wet clothes into the drum 2 through the delivery port. After the fan assembly 4 is started, the airflow is driven to flow from the return air port to the air supply port, and then enters the drum 2 through the air supply channel and the air inlet of the air duct member 3, takes away the moisture after contacting the clothes, and then returns to the fan assembly 4 through the air outlet and the return air port to form a cycle; after the motor 501 is started, its power end drives the driving wheel 502 to rotate. Since the driving wheel 502 and the driven wheel 503 are connected by the belt 504 transmission, the driven wheel 503 also rotates accordingly. The driven wheel 503 is installed on the first bracket 505, and the belt 504 abuts against the outer wall of the drum 2. Therefore, when the driven wheel 503 rotates, the abutment transmission drives the drum 2 to rotate, thereby achieving uniform drying of the clothes. Since the first bracket 505 is connected to the inner bottom surface of the shell 1 through the elastic member 506, the elastic member 506 (such as a spring) can adjust the height of the first bracket 505 as needed. When the tension of the belt 504 needs to be increased, the elastic member 506 is compressed, the first bracket 505 moves down, and the driven wheel 503 moves down accordingly, so that the belt 504 fits more tightly on the driving wheel 502 and the driven wheel 503; conversely, when the tension needs to be reduced, the elastic member 506 stretches, the first bracket 505 moves up, and the tension of the belt 504 is reduced. This adjustment method can adapt to different transmission requirements and ensure the stability and efficiency of the belt 504 transmission. In this solution, the height of the first bracket 505 is adjusted by the elastic member 506, and then the tension of the belt 504 is adjusted, so that the device can adapt to different transmission requirements and ensure the stability and efficiency of the belt 504 transmission. There is no need for complex manual operation or adjustment. Automatic tension adjustment is achieved through a simple structural design, which improves the ease of use and user experience of the device; and appropriate tension of the belt 504 can reduce the wear and slip of the belt 504, extend the service life of the belt 504, reduce maintenance costs, and reduce safety hazards caused by slipping or breaking of the belt 504, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment. At the same time, by evenly driving the drum 2 to rotate, it is ensured that the clothes are evenly exposed to hot air during the drying process, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, the driving assembly 5 further includes a second bracket 507, the motor 501 is mounted on the second bracket 507, one end of the first bracket 505 is mounted on the second bracket 507, and the other end is connected to the elastic member 506. By adding the second bracket 507, the installation of the motor 501 and the first bracket 505 is more stable, reducing the risk of displacement or damage caused by vibration or external factors. Specifically, the second bracket 507 provides a convenient support point for the installation and removal of the motor 501, making it more convenient to maintain or replace the motor 501. Moreover, since one end of the first bracket 505 is fixed on the second bracket 507 and the other end is connected by the elastic member 506, this structure can more effectively ensure that when adjusting the tension, the position change of the driven wheel 503 and the belt 504 is more accurate and stable. By reinforcing the second bracket 507 and stably adjusting the tension of the belt 504, the uniform rotation of the drum 2 is ensured, and the drying efficiency of the clothes is effectively improved.

[0032] Furthermore, the first bracket 505 extends outward to form a buckle portion, and the inner bottom surface of the housing 1 is provided with a buckle position, and one end of the elastic member 506 is buckled to the buckle portion, and the other end is buckled to the buckle position. Through the cooperation of the buckle portion and the buckle position, the installation and removal of the elastic member 506 become more convenient, without the need for complicated tools or steps, and the buckle connection structure can effectively ensure the stability between the elastic member 506, the first bracket 505 and the housing 1, and reduce the risk of displacement or falling off due to vibration or external factors. Due to the stability and directness of the buckle connection structure, the elastic member 506 can more accurately adjust the height of the first bracket 505, thereby more accurately adjusting the tension of the belt 504, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the belt 504 transmission. The stable belt 504 transmission and the rotation of the drum 2 can ensure that the clothes are uniformly exposed to hot air during the drying process, thereby improving the drying efficiency. At the same time, through the stable tension adjustment and reducing the risk of slipping or breaking of the belt 504, the safety of the equipment is improved and the potential safety hazards are reduced.

[0033] Preferably, a buffer pad is provided between the drive assembly 5 and the inner bottom surface of the housing 1. After the buffer pad is provided between the drive assembly 5 and the inner bottom surface of the housing 1, when the motor 501 is started and drives the cylinder 2 to rotate, the drive assembly 5 composed of the motor 501, the driving wheel 502, the driven wheel 503, the belt 504 and the first bracket 505 may generate vibration or impact force during operation, and these vibrations or impact forces will be transmitted to the inner bottom surface of the housing 1. However, due to the presence of the buffer pad, it can effectively absorb and disperse these vibrations or impact forces, thereby reducing or eliminating their direct impact on the housing 1. The buffer pad can absorb and disperse vibrations, thereby reducing the noise generated by vibration, providing users with a quieter use environment, reducing the direct contact between the drive assembly 5 and the housing 1, thereby reducing looseness or displacement caused by vibration, enhancing the stability of the entire device, and reducing the damage to the housing 1 and internal parts caused by vibration and impact force, thereby extending the service life of the device, and the buffer pad, as an additional layer of protection, can prevent damage to the internal structure caused by accidental impact, and improve the durability of the device. In addition, by reducing noise and improving stability, the overall user experience when using the clothes drying device is improved.

[0034] In some embodiments, a heating assembly 6 is further included, and the heating assembly 6 is installed in the air supply channel and is located between the fan assembly 4 and the return air outlet. A temperature sensor is provided in the barrel 2, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the heating assembly 6. In addition to the original structure and function, the clothes drying device also adds a heating assembly 6 and a temperature sensor. The heating assembly 6 is installed in the air supply channel and is located between the fan assembly 4 and the return air outlet. When the fan assembly 4 is working, the air flow is driven to flow from the return air outlet to the air supply outlet. The air flow will be heated when passing through the heating assembly 6, and then carry the heat energy into the barrel 2, contact with the clothes, and accelerate the evaporation of water in the clothes. At the same time, a temperature sensor is provided in the barrel 2 for real-time monitoring of the temperature in the barrel 2. This temperature sensor is electrically connected to the heating assembly 6 to form a feedback control system. When the temperature in the barrel 2 is lower than the set value, the temperature sensor will send a signal to the heating assembly 6 to increase the heating power and increase the air supply temperature; conversely, when the temperature in the barrel 2 is too high, the temperature sensor will send a signal to the heating assembly 6 to reduce the heating power to prevent the clothes from being over-dried or damaged. Real-time monitoring and feedback control of the temperature sensor can accurately control the temperature inside the drum 2, ensuring that the clothes are dried at an appropriate temperature to avoid overdrying or underdrying. It can also adjust the air supply temperature according to the material and humidity of the clothes to more effectively remove moisture from the clothes and improve the drying efficiency. Accurate temperature control can reduce unnecessary energy waste and reduce energy consumption. At the same time, it can reduce the damage to clothes caused by excessive drying, extend the service life of clothes, and can bring a better user experience to users and meet their pursuit of high-quality life.

[0035] In addition, the barrel 2 is detachably mounted inside the housing 1. The barrel 2 is designed to be detachably mounted inside the housing 1, and this design allows users or maintenance personnel to easily disassemble and reinstall the barrel 2 for cleaning, maintenance or replacement. Specifically, the barrel 2 is connected to the inside of the housing 1 through a certain fixing mechanism (such as screws, buckles, slide rails, etc.). When the barrel 2 needs to be removed, the user or maintenance personnel can release the fixing mechanism, take the barrel 2 out of the housing 1, and after cleaning, maintenance or replacement, put the barrel 2 back into the housing 1 and refix it through the fixing mechanism. The detachable barrel 2 design allows the user to easily take out the barrel 2 and clean it thoroughly to remove accumulated dust, hair and other debris to maintain the hygiene and performance of the equipment. In addition, when the barrel 2 or related parts fail, the user can easily disassemble the barrel 2 for inspection and maintenance, reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance. Moreover, as time goes by, the barrel 2 may need to be replaced due to wear or aging. The detachable design allows the user to easily purchase a new barrel 2 and replace it to extend the service life of the equipment.

[0036] Optionally, the housing 1 is hinged with a door panel at a position relative to the delivery port. In this optional design, the housing 1 of the clothes drying device is hinged with a door panel at a position relative to the delivery port. This design allows the user to access or close the delivery port by opening or closing the door panel, so as to conveniently put clothes in or out of the drum 2. The door panel is usually connected to the housing 1 by a hinge or other similar connector to ensure that the door panel can be opened and closed smoothly. At the same time, the door panel may also be equipped with a locking mechanism to ensure that the door panel remains closed during the drying process to prevent heat or steam leakage. Through the hinged door panel, the user can easily open or close the delivery port, so as to conveniently put clothes in or out of the drum 2, and this design improves the convenience of use of the device. During the drying process, the closed state of the door panel helps to maintain the stability of the internal environment of the device and prevent the leakage of heat or steam, which helps to improve the drying efficiency and protect the components inside the device. When the device is in working state, the locking mechanism can ensure that the door panel remains closed to prevent users from accidentally contacting high temperature areas or scalding, thereby improving the safety of the device.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that a filter is provided at the air outlet, and a water collecting pan is provided below the air outlet. In the clothes drying equipment, the filter provided at the air outlet mainly plays two roles: one is to filter out dust, fluff and other impurities generated during the drying process to prevent these impurities from being brought into the air duct or indoors by the air flow, affecting the air quality and equipment performance; the second is to keep the air outlet unobstructed to ensure the drying efficiency. The water collecting pan provided below the air outlet is to collect the condensed water generated during the drying process. Since clothes release water vapor when drying, these water vapors will condense into water droplets when they come into contact with the air outlet with a lower temperature and drip into the water collecting pan. By improving air quality, improving drying efficiency and preventing water droplets from scattering, the user experience of the clothes drying equipment can be enhanced and user satisfaction can be improved.
