[0028] Based on the above scheme, the front support frame 1 and the rear support frame 2 are arranged opposite to each other, and an installation space for installing the roller is formed between them. The protrusion 201 on the rear support frame 2 corresponds to the limiting portion 101 on the front support frame 1, providing a precise positioning basis for the connecting plate 3. Multiple connecting plates 3 are connected between the front support frame 1 and the rear support frame 2 at intervals. They not only enhance the connection strength between the front and rear support frames 2, but also achieve precise positioning through their specific structure. The first end of each connecting plate 3 is provided with a buckle 301 that cooperates with the protrusion 201 on the rear support frame 2, and the second end is provided with a limiting groove 302 that cooperates with the limiting portion 101 on the front support frame 1. This design ensures that the connecting plate 3 is A stable position between the front and rear support frames 2; the fixing plate 4 includes an arc-shaped fixing portion 401 and a strip-shaped fixing portion 402. The curvature of the arc-shaped fixing portion 401 is the same as the curvature of the roller, so that it can be relatively close to the roller but not fit, and can provide a guiding effect for the rotation of the roller to avoid rotational deviation, and can provide a temporary support effect when the roller is offset, and the two ends of the arc-shaped fixing portion 401 are respectively locked to the two adjacent connecting plates 3, thereby further enhancing the connection stability between the connecting plate 3 and the front and rear support frames 2, one end of the strip-shaped fixing portion 402 is connected to the arc-shaped fixing portion 401, and the other end is fixed to the rear support frame 2, which further strengthens the stability of the entire support structure.

At the same time, due to the use of quick connection methods such as the buckle 301 and the limit, the installation process becomes simpler and more efficient.

[0029] Preferably, a first rotation groove capable of rotating with the drum is provided on one side of the front support frame 1 relative to the rear support frame 2, and a second rotation groove corresponding to the first rotation groove is provided on one side of the rear support frame 2. The design of the first rotation groove and the second rotation groove allows the drum to achieve smooth rotation cooperation between the front support frame 1 and the rear support frame 2. The importance of this rotation cooperation is reflected in the following aspects: Improving the stability of drum rotation: Through the rotation grooves on the front support frame 1 and the rear support frame 2, the drum can rotate freely therein, reducing the friction and resistance during the rotation process, thereby improving the stability of drum rotation. Reducing noise and wear: Smooth rotation cooperation reduces the friction between the drum and the support frame, which not only reduces the noise during the operation of the dryer, but also reduces the wear of the drum and the support frame, and extends the service life of the dryer. Optimizing washing and drying effects: The smooth rotation of the drum helps to evenly distribute the clothes in the drum, improve the drying effect, and ensure that the clothes can be dried evenly.

[0030] Furthermore, the rear support frame 2 is provided with a motor position 202 for installing a driving motor, and the power end of the driving motor can pass through the motor position 202 and be connected to the drum. The driving motor is directly installed on the rear support frame 2, reducing the additional transmission mechanism, making the structure of the entire dryer more compact, saving valuable space, and the driving motor directly drives the drum to rotate, reducing the energy loss of the intermediate transmission link, improving the transmission efficiency, and making the operation of the dryer more efficient. In addition, the direct installation method of the driving motor simplifies the installation process and reduces the difficulty of installation. At the same time, since the motor position 202 is on the rear support frame 2, it is also convenient for future maintenance and overhaul work. In general, the design of the motor position 202 provided on the rear support frame 2 not only optimizes the structural layout of the dryer, but also improves the transmission efficiency and the convenience of installation and maintenance, which significantly improves the performance and user experience of the dryer.

[0031] Furthermore, the rear support frame 2 is provided with a fan position 203 for the guide fan to be embedded and fixed. Providing a fan position 203 for the guide fan to be embedded and fixed on the rear support frame 2 is a more comprehensive and detailed design consideration. This design not only optimizes the internal structure layout of the dryer, but also improves the installation stability and work efficiency of the guide fan. Specifically, the opening of the fan position 203 enables the guide fan to be tightly embedded in the rear support frame 2, and to be stably fixed by fasteners or other connection methods. This fixing method avoids the loosening or displacement of the guide fan during operation, ensuring its stable and reliable working state. At the same time, the design of the fan position 203 also takes into account the air inlet and outlet paths of the guide fan to ensure that it can smoothly guide the air flow and improve the drying efficiency of the dryer. By reasonably arranging the position and size of the fan position 203, it can be ensured that the air flow path between the guide fan and the drum is the shortest and most direct, reducing energy loss and improving the drying effect. In addition, the opening of the fan position 203 also facilitates the installation and maintenance of the guide fan. During the installation process, the operator can easily insert the guide fan into the fan position 203 and fix it. During maintenance, the guide fan can also be easily disassembled for cleaning or replacement.

The provision of the delivery port 102 allows the user to directly put the clothes into the drum from one side of the front support frame 1 without moving the dryer or performing cumbersome operations. At the same time, the door panel is connected to the delivery port 102 in a hinged manner, which not only ensures the stability of the door panel, but also makes the opening and closing of the door panel simple and convenient. The user only needs to gently push the door panel to open or close it, thereby easily completing the delivery and removal of clothes. In addition, this design also takes into account the overall aesthetics and sealing of the dryer. The close fit between the door panel and the delivery port 102 can effectively prevent the leakage of hot air and moisture, and improve the drying efficiency of the dryer; at the same time, the appearance and material of the door panel can also match the overall style of the dryer, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0033] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 3 and the front support frame 1 are locked by screws, the connecting plate 3 and the rear support frame 2 are locked by screws, the arc-shaped fixing portion 401 and the connecting plate 3 are locked by screws, and the strip-shaped fixing portion 402 and the rear support frame 2 are locked by screws. In these embodiments, screws, as a common fastener, are widely used in the connection between the connecting plate 3 and the front support frame 1, the connecting plate 3 and the rear support frame 2, the arc-shaped fixing portion 401 and the connecting plate 3, and the strip-shaped fixing portion 402 and the rear support frame 2. This design not only ensures the stability and reliability of the structure, but also makes the installation and disassembly process simple and fast. Specifically, the screw locking between the connecting plate 3 and the front support frame 1 and the rear support frame 2 ensures the precise positioning and stable connection of the connecting plate 3 between the front and rear support frames 2. This connection method can effectively resist external vibration and impact and ensure the stability of the entire support structure. At the same time, the screw locking between the arc-shaped fixing portion 401 and the connecting plate 3, and the screw locking between the strip-shaped fixing portion 402 and the rear support frame 2, further enhance the overall stability of the support structure. The strip-shaped fixing portion 402 strengthens the connection between the rear support frame 2 and the fixing plate 4. In addition, the use of screws as fasteners also has the advantages of strong versatility and low cost. As a standardized fastener, screws are easy to purchase and replace, reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, the reliability of screw connections has also been widely recognized and can meet the use requirements of dryers in various working environments.

[0034] Generally speaking, the arc-shaped fixing portion 401 and the strip-shaped fixing portion 402 are integrally formed. An integrally formed part means that the arc-shaped fixing portion 401 and the strip-shaped fixing portion 402 are made through a one-time molding process, and there are no additional connectors or interfaces between them. This design eliminates the potential risks caused by loose connectors or stress concentration at interfaces, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the entire fixing plate 4. In addition, the integrally formed part also has better integrity and aesthetics. Since there are no obvious seams or interfaces, the appearance of the fixing plate 4 is neater and more beautiful, which meets the aesthetic requirements of modern homes. At the same time, the manufacturing process of the integrally formed part is also easier to automate and standardize, which helps to improve production efficiency and reduce costs.

[0035] In some embodiments, the second end of the connecting plate 3 is symmetrically provided with two clamping parts 303, and the limiting groove 302 is defined between the two clamping parts 303. The connecting plate 3 is provided with four, and the four connecting plates 3 are symmetrically distributed. First, regarding the design of the second end of the connecting plate 3, by symmetrically providing two clamping parts 303 at the second end and defining the limiting groove 302 between the two clamping parts 303, this structure can be closely matched with the limiting part 101 on the front support frame 1. This symmetrical design not only ensures the stability of the connection, but also makes the installation process easier and improves production efficiency. Secondly, regarding the number and distribution of the connecting plates 3, four connecting plates 3 are provided and symmetrically distributed with the surface formed by connecting the symmetry axes of the front support frame 1 and the rear support frame 2 as the symmetry surface, which is an efficient and balanced layout method. This design can ensure that the connection between the front and rear support frames 2 is more stable, and at the same time disperse the stress generated by the roller during operation, and extend the service life of the support structure. In addition, the symmetrically distributed connecting plates 3 also make the entire support structure look more beautiful and coordinated.
