[0035] The embodiment of the present application provides a lifting rib, which is applied to a clothes dryer. A clothes dryer is a clothing drying device, and its principle is to generate high-temperature dry gas and make it flow through the surface of clothes, so that the moisture in the clothes evaporates and is carried away by the airflow, so that the clothes are dried. In addition, the clothes dryer can also be a washing and drying machine with the functions of washing and drying clothes at the same time. The lifting ribs are arranged on the inner wall of the drum of the clothes dryer. When the drum rotates, the lifting ribs rotate with the drum to lift the clothes, thereby unfolding the clothes, preventing the clothes from wrinkling, and ensuring that air flows on the surface of each piece of clothing so that it is evenly dried.
[0036] See also Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a lifting rib 120 , including a first lifting portion 10 , a second lifting portion 20 and a brush structure 30 .
[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first lifting portion 10 has a first top wall 11 and a first bottom surface 12 that are oppositely arranged, and a first side wall 13 that is arranged between the first top wall 11 and the first bottom surface 12 and connected to the first top wall 11.
[0038] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second lifting portion 20 has a second top wall 21 and a second bottom surface 22 that are oppositely arranged, and a second side wall 23 that is arranged between the second top wall 21 and the second bottom surface 22 and connected to the second top wall 21, and the second side wall 23 is connected to the first side wall 13. In the direction from the second bottom surface 22 to the second top wall 21, the second top wall 21 is higher than the first top wall 11.
[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The brush structure 30 is connected to the first top wall 11 of the first lifting portion 10 .
[0040] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Exemplarily, the first bottom surface 12 is surrounded by the edge of the first side wall 13 away from the first top wall 11 ; the second bottom surface 22 is surrounded by the edge of the second side wall 23 away from the second top wall 21 .
[0041] It can be understood that the direction from the second bottom surface 22 to the second top wall 21 is consistent with the direction from the first bottom surface 12 to the second top wall 21 .
[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3The second bottom surface 22 may be flush with the first bottom surface 12 . In other embodiments, in the direction from the second bottom surface 22 to the second top wall 21 , the second bottom surface 22 may be higher or lower than the first bottom surface 12 .
[0043] The lifting ribs 120 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be installed on the inner wall of the drum of the dryer. Since the first top wall 11 of the first lifting part 10 is provided with a brush structure 30, during the operation of the dryer, the drum drives the lifting ribs 120 to rotate together, so that the clothes in the drum are in friction contact with the brush structure 30. Since the brush structure 30 has a large friction force, it can easily peel off the hair scraps from the clothes, making the clothes neater and more beautiful, thereby meeting the user's usage needs. In addition, when the brush structure 30 contacts the clothes, it can also have a certain wrinkle removal effect; and since the height of the first lifting part 10 is lower than that of the second lifting part 20, it is equivalent to reducing the volume of the lifting ribs 120, thereby increasing the volume of the drum of the dryer. In addition, the materials used to prepare the lifting ribs 120 can also be reduced, thereby reducing the production cost of the lifting ribs 120, and thus reducing the production cost of the dryer.
[0044] During the operation of the clothes dryer, when the drum rotates, after the clothes are caught by the lifting ribs 120, the part of the clothes close to the inner wall of the drum moves upward under the lifting of the lifting ribs 120, while the part of the clothes away from the inner wall of the drum falls under the action of gravity, thereby stretching the clothes in the width direction of the lifting ribs 120. Since the second top wall 21 is higher than the first top wall 11, as the drum rotates, when the lifting ribs 120 rise to the first height, the part of the clothes hanging on the first lifting part 10 begins to slide downward, while the part hanging on the second lifting part 20 continues to be driven to move upward, thereby stretching the clothes in the extension direction of the lifting ribs 120, until the lifting ribs 120 move to the second height (the second height is higher than the first height), and the clothes completely slide off the lifting ribs 120. The lifting ribs 120 provided in the embodiment of the present application can stretch the clothes in two directions during the process of lifting the clothes, so that the clothes can be unfolded more fully, not easy to wrinkle, and are conducive to uniform drying of the clothes, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the clothes dryer.
[0045] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first top wall 11 is provided with a plurality of recessed structures 115 , and the brush structure 30 includes a plurality of bristle bundles 31 , and the bottom ends of the plurality of bristle bundles 31 are respectively arranged in the plurality of recessed structures 115 and fixedly connected to the inner walls of the recessed structures 115 .
[0046] Exemplarily, the plurality of bristle bundles 31 are arranged in an array.
[0047] By way of example, the recessed structure 115 may be a groove or a through hole.
[0048] Exemplarily, the bristle bundle 31 is connected to the inner wall of the recessed structure 115 by welding.
[0049] See also Figure 4 The brush structure 30 includes a brush seat 32 and a plurality of bristle bundles 31 arranged on the surface of the brush seat 32 , and the brush seat 32 is connected to the first top wall 11 .
[0050] Exemplarily, the brush holder 32 is connected to the first top wall 11 in a detachable manner. For example, the brush holder 32 can be installed on the first lifting part 10 by screws, or can be snap-fitted to the first lifting part 10 by a snap-fit structure, or can be magnetically attracted to the first lifting part 10 by a magnetic attraction structure.
[0051] It is understandable that by detachably mounting the brush holder 32 on the lifting rib 120, the brush structure 30 is detachable. When the user does not need to use the brush structure 30 during the drying process, the brush holder 32 can be directly detached from the lifting rib 120 without replacing the entire lifting rib 120, which is convenient for the user. For example, when the user is drying silk clothes, due to the material characteristics of silk clothes, they are easily deformed under the action of external forces. At this time, the brush holder 32 can be detached from the lifting rib 120 to avoid the brush structure 30 from causing damage to the silk clothes.
[0052] In some embodiments, the bristle bundle 31 and the brush holder 32 are connected by welding.
[0053] In some embodiments, the bristle bundle 31 and the brush holder 32 are integrally formed. By integrally forming the bristle bundle 31 and the brush holder 32, the connection between the bristle bundle 31 and the brush holder 32 is strengthened, and the bristle bundle 31 is prevented from falling off easily under the action of external force. Exemplarily, the bristle bundle 31 and the brush holder 32 are formed by integral injection molding, and the specific molding process is as follows: first, the roots of multiple groups of bristle bundles 31 are arranged in groups and inserted into the injection mold, and clamped by a clamping device (the clamping device prevents the bristle bundle 31 from tipping over or shifting during the injection molding process), and then the injection molding filler is injected into the injection mold. After the injection molding filler is condensed and demolded, the brush structure 30 can be obtained.
[0054] See also Figures 1 to 4 The first lifting portion 10 and the second lifting portion 20 are arranged in sequence according to the extension direction of the lifting rib 120, and in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction, the width of the second top wall 21 is smaller than the width of the first top wall 11.
[0055] It can be understood that by setting the second top wall 21 to have a smaller width, the second lifting portion 20 can be more easily hooked on the clothes, so that the clothes can be unfolded more fully during the operation of the dryer.
[0056] See also Figure 3 The height difference between the first top wall 11 and the first bottom surface 12 in the first lifting portion 10 is h1, and in the direction from the second bottom surface 22 to the second top wall 21, the height difference between the second top wall 21 and the first top wall 11 is d, and d is greater than or equal to h1.
[0057] It can be understood that by providing a larger height difference between the second top wall 21 and the first top wall 11 , the second lifting portion 20 can be more easily hooked on the clothes, thereby achieving the effect of stretching the clothes.
[0058] Exemplarily, the surface of the second top wall 21 is a frosted surface. It is understandable that, due to the greater friction between the frosted surface and the clothes, the second lifting portion 20 can more easily hang the clothes, thereby achieving the effect of stretching the clothes.
[0059] See also Figure 2 The first lifting part 10 has a first hollow structure 14 inside, the second lifting part 20 has a second hollow structure 24 inside, and the first hollow structure 14 is connected to the second hollow structure 24. It can be understood that by providing hollow structures inside the first lifting part 10 and the second lifting part 20, the weight and production cost of the lifting rib 120 can be reduced.
[0060] See also Figure 2 The lifting rib 120 further includes a connecting portion 40, which is disposed in the first hollow structure 14 and / or the second hollow structure 24 and is fixedly connected to the first lifting portion 10 and / or the second lifting portion 20. The connecting portion 40 is used to connect to the drum of the dryer so that the lifting rib 120 is installed on the inner wall of the drum of the dryer.
[0061] Exemplarily, the first lifting portion 10 and the second lifting portion 20 are integrally formed to reduce the manufacturing cost of the lifting rib 120 .
[0062] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In an embodiment of the present application, a clothes dryer 100 includes a drum 110 and lifting ribs 120 installed on the inner wall of the drum 110, and the lifting ribs 120 are the lifting ribs 120 in any of the above embodiments.
[0063] Exemplarily, the extension direction of the lifting ribs 120 may be parallel to the length direction of the drum 110 , or may be inclined relative to the length direction of the drum 110 .
[0064] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The drum 110 has a drum mouth 111 and a drum bottom 112 which are arranged opposite to each other. At least one group of lifting ribs 120 is arranged in the drum 110. Each group of lifting ribs 120 includes a first lifting rib 121 and a second lifting rib 122 which are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the drum 110. The first lifting rib 121 and the second lifting rib 122 are both the lifting ribs 120 in any of the above embodiments.
[0065] Among them, the first lifting portion 10 of the first lifting rib 121 is close to the barrel mouth 111 of the drum 110, and the second lifting portion 20 of the first lifting rib 121 is close to the barrel bottom 112 of the drum 110; the first lifting portion 10 of the second lifting rib 122 is close to the barrel bottom 112 of the drum 110, and the second lifting portion 20 of the second lifting rib 122 is close to the barrel mouth 111 of the drum 110.
[0066] It should be noted that, by designing the first lifting rib 121 and the second lifting rib 122 in each group of lifting ribs 120 to be symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the drum 110, and making the extension directions of the first lifting rib 121 and the second lifting rib 122 opposite, that is, the first lifting portion 10 of the first lifting rib 121 corresponds to the second lifting portion 20 of the second lifting rib 122, and the second lifting portion 20 of the first lifting rib 121 corresponds to the first lifting portion 10 of the second lifting rib 122. When the dryer 100 is working, as the drum 110 rotates, it is equivalent to that the positions of the first lifting rib 121 and the second lifting rib 122 on the drum 110 are constantly changing, and the positions of the first lifting rib 121 and the second lifting rib 122 on the drum 110 are constantly swapped. Since the positions of the second lifting portions 20 for hanging clothes on the first lifting rib 121 and the second lifting rib 122 are different, it is equivalent to that the position of the second lifting portion 20 in the drum 110 is constantly changing, thereby achieving a better shaking effect on the clothes. Since the brush structure 30 is arranged on the first lifting portion 10 of the first lifting rib 121 and the second lifting rib 122, as the drum 110 rotates, the position of the brush structure 30 in the drum 110 is constantly changing, so that hair debris on the surface of clothes can be removed more effectively and the clothes can be better de-wrinkled.
[0067] The lifting ribs and clothes dryer provided in the embodiments of the present application are introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present application.
