DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, this embodiment provides a compressor support structure, including: a base 1, an inner shell plate 2, a support member 3, and a plurality of telescopic limit members 4, wherein the base 1 is used to position and install the compressor; the inner shell plate 2 is installed on the base 1; the support member 3 includes a main body 301, a first end 302 and a second end 303, wherein the first end 302 and the second end 303 are respectively located at two ends of the main body 301, and the first end 302 and the second end 303 are both connected to the inner shell plate 2, and an arc groove 3011 is formed on one side of the main body 301 opposite to the compressor; a plurality of telescopic limit members 4 are respectively installed on the groove wall surface of the arc groove 3011, wherein the telescopic limit member 4 can extend in a direction relative to the compressor, and an abutment member 5 adapted to the outer wall structure of the compressor is provided relative to one end of the compressor, and a limit structure capable of supporting the compressor is defined between each of the abutment members 5.

[0029] Based on the above scheme, the base 1 is used to position and install the compressor to ensure that the position of the compressor in the dryer is stable. The inner shell plate 2 is installed on the base 1 to provide an installation basis for the subsequent support member 3 and the telescopic stopper 4. The support member 3 is connected to the inner shell plate 2 through its first end 302 and the second end 303, and its main body 301 forms an arc groove 3011 on the side facing the compressor. The arc groove 3011 is designed to adapt to the general shape of the compressor and provide an initial support and positioning. Multiple telescopic stoppers 4 are installed on the groove wall of the arc groove 3011. These telescopic stoppers 4 can be extended or retracted relative to the direction of the compressor. Each telescopic stopper 4 is provided with an abutment 5 at one end relative to the compressor. The shape and structure of these abutments 5 are specially designed to adapt to the outer wall structure of the compressor. When the compressor is placed on the base 1, the telescopic stopper 4 will automatically extend according to the actual size of the compressor until the abutment 5 is in close contact with the outer wall of the compressor. In this way, a limit structure that can stably support the compressor is formed between the multiple abutments 5. In this solution, through the design of the telescopic limiter 4, the support structure can adapt to compressors of different sizes, greatly improving the versatility of the structure and enabling it to be applied to more types of dryers; multiple telescopic limiters 4 and abutment members 5 work together to form a stable support structure, which can ensure that the compressor does not generate excessive vibration and noise when running at high speed, thereby extending the service life of the compressor. Since the telescopic limiter 4 is in close contact with the outer wall surface of the compressor, it also helps to dissipate heat, which can prevent the compressor from overheating and further protect its performance and life. In addition, the installation process of the support structure is relatively simple. It only needs to fix the base 1 and the inner shell plate 2 in the appropriate position of the dryer, and then place the compressor on the base 1. The telescopic limiter 4 will automatically adapt to and fix the compressor.

[0030] Further, the telescopic limiter 4 comprises a mounting portion 401, a first telescopic portion 402, a second telescopic portion 403 and a third telescopic portion 404, the mounting portion 401 is mounted in an inlaid manner on the groove wall surface of the arc groove 3011, the first telescopic portion 402 is fixed to the mounting portion 401, the second telescopic portion 403 is telescopically mounted in the first telescopic portion 402, the third telescopic portion 404 is telescopically mounted in the second telescopic portion 403, and the abutment 5 is mounted on one end of the third telescopic portion 404 away from the second telescopic portion 403. Through the three-stage telescopic structure, the telescopic limiter 4 can provide a finer and more flexible adjustment range, and this multi-stage buffer structure enables the abutment 5 to more accurately fit the outer wall surface of the compressor of different sizes, thereby enhancing the adaptability and stability of the structure. Since each level of telescopic part provides a certain support and buffering effect, when the compressor vibrates during operation, these telescopic parts can work together to effectively reduce the possibility of vibration being transmitted to the base 1 and other parts of the dryer. This multi-level support structure significantly improves the stability and reliability of the entire dryer. In addition, through the carefully designed telescopic structure and material selection, the telescopic limiter 4 can withstand various forces and vibrations from the compressor without damage or failure. This design extends the service life of the telescopic limiter 4, while also reducing the frequency of repair and replacement, and reducing maintenance costs. Although the multi-level telescopic structure is complex, each part is modularly designed, and installation and disassembly are relatively easy. In addition, if a part fails or is damaged, only the part needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire telescopic limiter 4. The modular design reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance. Moreover, since the telescopic limiter 4 is in close contact with the outer wall of the compressor and has a multi-level telescopic structure, it helps to form more contact points and heat dissipation channels. The heat generated when the compressor is running can be more effectively dissipated through these contact points and channels, thereby maintaining the stable operation of the compressor and extending its service life.

[0031] Furthermore, the telescopic limiter 4 further includes a first locking portion 405, which is mounted on the first telescopic portion 402 and locked with the second telescopic portion 403; the telescopic limiter 4 further includes a second locking portion 406, which is mounted on the second telescopic portion 403 and locked with the third telescopic portion 404. Through the cooperation of the first locking portion 405 and the second locking portion 406, stable locking can be achieved at different telescopic levels of the telescopic limiter 4. When the telescopic limiter 4 is extended and attached to the outer wall of the compressor, the locking portion can prevent the telescopic portion from accidentally retracting or moving, thereby ensuring that the compressor is stably supported and fixed. The presence of the locking portion effectively prevents the telescopic limiter 4 from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force during the operation of the compressor, effectively improves the safety of the dryer, and reduces the failure or accident that may be caused by loose components. Although the locking portion provides stable support in the locked state, when the telescopic limiter 4 needs to be adjusted to adapt to compressors of different sizes, the user can unlock the locking portion through simple operations so that the telescopic portion can be freely extended and retracted, making the adjustment of the telescopic limiter 4 convenient and quick.

[0032] Optionally, the mounting portion 401 is provided with a locating column 407 on one side relative to the arc groove 3011, and the arc groove 3011 is provided with a locating hole that cooperates with the locating column 407 for positioning. The cooperation between the locating column 407 and the locating hole can ensure that the telescopic limiter 4 can be accurately placed at the predetermined position of the arc groove 3011 during installation, which avoids positional deviation during the installation process and ensures that the telescopic limiter 4 is correctly fitted with the outer wall surface of the compressor. The locking relationship between the locating column 407 and the locating hole provides additional stability after the telescopic limiter 4 is installed, which helps prevent the telescopic limiter 4 from loosening or displacement during use, thereby ensuring stable support for the compressor. Through the cooperation between the locating column 407 and the locating hole, the installation process of the telescopic limiter 4 can be greatly simplified. The user does not need to perform complicated alignment or adjustment operations, and only needs to insert the locating column 407 into the locating hole to complete the installation, thereby improving the installation efficiency. Since the telescopic stopper 4 and the arc groove 3011 are precisely matched through the positioning column 407 and the positioning hole, the stability of the entire compressor support structure is enhanced, which helps to reduce the vibration and noise generated by the compressor during operation and improve the overall performance of the dryer. At the same time, through precise installation and stable fixation, the telescopic stopper 4 can better play its supporting and buffering role, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the entire dryer.

[0033] In order to improve the connection stability between the telescopic limiter 4 and the support member 3, a plurality of locking holes 4011 are provided on the mounting portion 401. Through the cooperation of the plurality of locking holes 4011 and the corresponding structures (such as locking pins, bolts, etc.) on the support member 3, the connection strength between the telescopic limiter 4 and the support member 3 is significantly enhanced. This multi-point connection method can prevent the telescopic limiter 4 from loosening or displacement when subjected to external forces. The multi-point connection not only enhances the connection strength, but also improves the stability of the entire structure, so that the telescopic limiter 4 can maintain a stable supporting state when subjected to vibration or impact of the compressor, ensuring the stable operation of the compressor, and even if individual locking holes 4011 or connection points fail or are damaged, due to the existence of other locking holes 4011 and connection points, the entire structure can still maintain a certain stability and connection strength, thereby increasing the fault tolerance of the product and reducing the risk of overall structural failure caused by failure of individual components.

[0034] Preferably, the abutment 5 is in an arc shape, and the abutment 5 is a silicone member. Since the outer wall surface of the compressor usually has a certain curvature, designing the abutment 5 in an arc shape can better fit this surface and achieve closer contact and support. The silicone material has good shock absorption and sound insulation performance. Using silicone as the material of the abutment 5 can effectively reduce the transmission of vibration and noise when the compressor is running, which not only improves the operating stability of the dryer, but also provides a quieter use environment for users. In addition, the silicone material has high durability and wear resistance, and can resist wear caused by long-term use and friction, which enables the abutment 5 to maintain long-term good performance and extend the service life of the telescopic limiter 4. In addition, the surface of the silicone material has a certain viscosity, which can increase the friction with the outer wall surface of the compressor to prevent the abutment 5 from sliding or falling off during vibration. This anti-slip performance further enhances the stability of the telescopic limiter 4. At the same time, the silicone material is also an environmentally friendly and non-toxic material that will not release harmful substances or pollute the environment.

[0035] In some embodiments, the main body 301 is provided with a plurality of hollow holes 3012. By providing the hollow holes 3012, the amount of material used can be reduced while maintaining the structural strength of the telescopic limiter 4; at the same time, under reasonable design and layout, the hollow holes 3012 can also serve as extensions of the reinforcing ribs to further improve the structural strength of the support member 3.

[0036] On the other hand, a clothes dryer is provided, comprising the compressor supporting structure as described in any one of the above items.
