Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of clothes drying supports, in particular to a clothes care device and a clothes drying machine. Background Art

[0002] The clothing care devices currently on the market usually have a steam care module and a heating module, which use steam and hot air to care for the clothes in the shell. Such devices usually include a closed shell with multiple injection ports and air outlets inside, through which steam and hot air are ejected to sterilize, remove wrinkles and dry the clothes. However, in actual use, it is difficult for the hot air to be evenly distributed to the clothes at the bottom of the shell, which is mainly caused by the way the clothes are stacked.

[0003] When clothes are stacked in the shell, the hot air encounters obstacles in the penetration process due to the stacking of clothes. The amount of hot air received by the bottom clothes is obviously insufficient, forming a blind spot for care, resulting in the bottom clothes cannot be fully dried and the drying effect is relatively general. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a clothing care device, which has the advantage of being able to care for the lower side of stacked clothing.

[0005] The above technical objectives of the utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0036] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0038] A clothing care device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a warehouse body 100, and the structure of the warehouse body 100 is not specifically limited. The warehouse body 100 has a storage cavity 101 inside, and the part forming the storage cavity 101 is the warehouse body 100. There is no specific limitation on the shape of the warehouse body 100, which can be a cube, a rectangular body, or a cylinder. It can also be a composite shape combining multiple shapes. No matter which shape it is, it should have an upper part, a bottom and a side. In this embodiment, a second air inlet 403 is provided at the bottom of the warehouse body 100. The warehouse body 100 is also provided with an air duct 400 connected to the second air inlet 403, and a part of the air duct 400 is located at the bottom of the warehouse body 100. A wind source 300 is provided on the air duct 400, and the wind source 300 is suitable for conveying airflow into the air duct 400. The airflow passes through the air duct 400 through the wind source 300 and is blown out to the second air inlet 403 at the bottom of the warehouse body 100. After the clothes are stacked in the warehouse body 100, the clothes at the bottom can be dried quickly. As an alternative embodiment, the air duct 400 is entirely located at the bottom of the warehouse body 100 .

[0039] There is no limitation on the specific structure of the wind source 300. In the present embodiment, the wind source 300 is a fan, and airflow is generated by the rotation of the blades of the fan. As an alternative embodiment, the wind source 300 may be a negative pressure device. As an alternative embodiment, a heating device is provided downstream of the wind source 300. There is no specific limitation on the structure of the heating device. In the present embodiment, the heating device is a PTC ceramic heating element. As an alternative embodiment, the heating device may also be an electric heating tube or a resistance wire. An airflow is generated by the wind source 300, and the airflow is blown out into the nursing cabin after passing through the heating device to provide a drying function.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple second air inlets 403, and the air outlet area of ​​the second air inlet 403 increases successively along the air outlet direction of the air duct. In one specific way, the air outlet area of ​​each second air inlet 403 is different, and each second air inlet 403 increases successively. As an alternative embodiment, multiple second air inlets 403 are a group, and the air outlet area of ​​the second air inlet 403 in each group is the same, and each group of second air inlets 403 increases successively along one side of the air outlet direction of the air duct. Further, it is arranged linearly on the warehouse body 100. The linear arrangement is preferably a straight line arrangement, and the direction of the straight line is the same as the air outlet direction. As an alternative embodiment, the linear arrangement can also be a curved arrangement or a broken line arrangement. Through the above arrangement, the velocity loss of the air flow can be reduced at a close distance along the air inlet direction, thereby enhancing the thrust of the air flow. This enables the hot air to be effectively transported to a farther distance, ensuring that the air outlet at a farther distance can also have sufficient air volume, so that the clothes in this part can receive sufficient hot air care. As an alternative embodiment, the second air inlet 403 is one. As an alternative implementation, there are multiple second air inlets 403 , which are arranged at the bottom of the storage body 100 in a disorderly manner.

[0041] On the basis of the above implementation manner, as a further limited implementation manner, Figure 4 As shown, at least one side of the silo 100 is provided with a first air inlet 401, and at least a portion of the air duct 400 is connected to the first air inlet 401. Specifically, the air duct 400 further includes a branch air duct 404, and the branch air duct 404 is located downstream of the first air inlet 401. Figure 4 From a viewing angle, the first air inlet 401 is located on the right side of the warehouse body 100. A guide plate 105 is also provided in the warehouse body 100. The guide plate 105 is provided at the first air inlet 401, for example, at the middle part of the first air inlet 401, and the airflow in the upper part of the first air inlet 401 is directly sent into the warehouse body 100. The airflow in the lower part of the first air inlet 401 is introduced into the branch air duct 404, and the airflow in the lower space 402 is blown into the warehouse body 100 from the second air inlet 403.

[0042] Further configuration: a lower space 402 is provided at the bottom of the warehouse body 100, and a branch air duct 404 is located in the lower space 402. The lower space 402 allows the warehouse body 100 to have a bottom air intake function while maintaining a flat and uniform appearance.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, at least one side wall of the bin body 100 is provided with an opening 103, and the opening 103 is away from the first air inlet 401. The warm air can fully pass through the storage cavity 101 in the bin body 100, increasing the area in contact with the clothes, thereby further improving the drying effect. In this embodiment, the area of ​​the opening 103 is smaller than the area of ​​the first air inlet 401, and the output of the opening 103 is reduced, which increases the residence time of the warm air in the storage cavity 101, further improving the drying effect.

[0044] On the basis of the above implementation manner, as a further limited implementation manner, Figure 1 As shown, the steam generator 200 generates steam and delivers it to the chamber 100. The specific structure of the steam generator 200 is not limited. In this embodiment, the steam generator 200 is preferably a water storage steam generator 200 with a water storage chamber. Furthermore, the steam generator 200 is also provided with a water tank 202, which is connected to the steam generator 200. The location of the steam generator 200 and the water tank 202 is not specifically limited. In this embodiment,

[0045] The water tank 202 and the steam generator 200 are both arranged inside or outside the warehouse body 100. The water tank 202 and the steam generator 200 are detachably connected, so that the water tank 202 can be taken out of the warehouse body 100 for water replenishment. The steam generator 200 and the water tank 202 are located on the same side of the warehouse body 100. Figure 1In the direction shown, the silo 100 has a length direction, and the steam generator 200 and the water tank 202 are both located on one side of the length direction of the silo 100. As an alternative embodiment, the steam generator 200 and the water tank 202 are both located on one side of the width direction of the silo 100. As an alternative embodiment, the water tank 202 is integrally connected to the steam generator 200, and a water replenishing port is provided on the water tank 202 for replenishing water.

[0046] In this embodiment, the drying device is detachably arranged on the inner side or outer side of the warehouse body 100. As an alternative embodiment, the drying device is integrally connected to the inner side or outer side of the warehouse body 100. Further, the drying device is arranged on the opposite side of the warehouse body 100 relative to the steam generator 200. For example, the drying device is arranged on one side of the length direction of the warehouse body 100, and the steam generator 200 and the drying device are respectively arranged on both sides of the length direction of the warehouse body 100. In this way, the distance for steam and hot air to reach the inside of the warehouse body 100 can be reduced. The temperature and humidity inside the warehouse body 100 reach the set value faster, thereby shortening the nursing time and improving the nursing efficiency. Since the distance that steam and hot air need to pass is shorter, the loss of heat and moisture during the transportation process can also be reduced, and the utilization efficiency of energy can be improved. As an alternative embodiment, the drying device is replaced by a wind source.

[0047] There is no specific limitation on the specific application scenarios and application methods of the clothing care device in the above embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment also provides a clothes drying machine, which includes a main unit 500 and the above-mentioned clothes care device, and a groove structure 501 adapted to the clothes care device is provided on the main unit 500. The clothes care device is assembled in the groove structure 501 of the main unit 500.

[0048] The clothing care device is provided with an openable and closable opening 104 . The opening 104 is arranged toward one side of the host 500 . When the clothing care device is assembled in the groove structure 501 of the host 500 , the opening 104 is closed by the groove wall of the host 500 .

[0049] Furthermore, the clothes drying machine further comprises a drying rack 600, and the clothes care device is arranged on the drying rack 600, which has a first state of being raised to be equipped with the main unit 500, and a second state of being lowered to expose the opening 104. The specific structure for realizing the lifting action of the clothes care device is not limited. In this embodiment, the clothes care device is arranged on the drying rack 600, and the drying rack 600 is lifted and lowered on one side of the main unit 500 by a lifting mechanism. As an alternative embodiment, the clothes care device is connected to the main unit 500 by a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism of the drying rack 600 and the lifting mechanism of the clothes care device are two sets of independently arranged mechanisms.

[0050] The above-mentioned embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications to the embodiments without any creative contribution as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.
