For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatuses.

[0026] One of the preferred embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figures 1 to 7As shown, a control switch for an anti-electric shock clothes dryer comprises a body 1 and a control assembly 2 installed on the side of the body 1; by providing the control assembly 2, the clothes dryer can be operated to dry clothes through the control assembly 2, a driving rod 11 is provided inside the body 1 through a torsion spring, and the driving rod 11 and the control assembly 2 are matched through a locking structure 3; when installing, the driving rod 11 is operated to rotate elastically, so that the control assembly 2 can be fully extended into the body 1, and then the driving rod 11 is released, and the driving rod 11 is elastically rotated and reset under the action of the torsion spring, so that the driving rod 11 is engaged and locked with the extended control assembly 2 through the locking structure 3, so that it is convenient to better install the control assembly 2, thereby improving the safety of the device and facilitating better protection of personnel health and safety.

[0027] In this embodiment, Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, it should be known that the locking structure 3 includes a locking block 31 installed on the side of the driving rod 11, and a locking block 32 installed on the side of the control component 2; a locking groove is opened on the side of the locking block 32, and the locking block 31 cooperates with the locking groove; when locking is performed, the control component 2 is fully extended into the body 1, and then the driving rod 11 is elastically rotated through the torsion spring to drive the locking block 31 to rotate close to the locking block 32, so that the locking block 31 rotates and extends into the locking groove on the locking block 32, so as to lock and fix the control component 2, thereby improving the stability of the control component 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, it should be known that an installation opening is opened on the side of the body 1, and the control component 2 can be installed through the installation opening. Therefore, in order to better close and protect the control component 2, a protective plate 12 is provided at the installation opening, and the protective plate 12 and the driving rod 11 are matched through a connecting structure 4; when the installed control component 2 is protected, the protective plate 12 can be pulled at this time to gradually close the installation opening, thereby facilitating better protection of the control component 2, effectively preventing people from accidentally touching and getting electric shocks, and thereby improving the practicality and safety of the device.

[0029] In this embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the connecting structure 4 includes a rack segment 41 installed on the side of the protective plate 12, and a gear 42 installed on the side of the driving rod 11; the rack segment 41 and the gear 42 are meshed; when the control component 2 needs to be replaced or repaired, the protective plate 12 can be pushed to the extreme position. At this time, the rack segment 41 on the protective plate 12 is meshed with the gear 42, thereby driving the gear 42 to rotate, and the gear 42 rotates to drive the driving rod 11 to rotate, and the driving rod 11 rotates to drive the engaging block 31 to fully extend from the locking groove of the locking block 32. At this time, the control component 2 is unlocked, and the control component 2 can be taken out of the body 1 for maintenance or replacement, which facilitates faster maintenance or replacement, thereby improving the practicality and convenience of the device.

[0030] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, it should be known that a drying mechanism is provided inside the machine body 1, by which the damp clothes in the machine body 1 can be dried, and at the same time, the drying mechanism can also dry the control component 2, thereby preventing moisture from adhering to the surface of the control component 2, which may cause electric shock accidents when personnel operate, thereby facilitating improving the safety of personnel and the safety of the device.

[0031] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, it can be understood that in order to better ground the body 1 to prevent electric shock, support blocks are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the body 1, and conductive columns are provided in the four support blocks. One of the conductive columns is connected to the control component 2 through a wire, and then through the grounding treatment, the electricity on the body 1 and the electricity on the control component 2 are effectively conducted into the earth to prevent people from electric shock.

[0032] In this embodiment, Figures 2 to 5 As shown, it should be known that the control component 2 on the body 1 includes a connecting plate 21 and multiple switches 22; the multiple switches 22 are arranged on the side of the connecting plate 21, and the body 1 can be dried and other operations can be performed through the switches 22, thereby improving the convenience and practicality of the device.

[0033] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a water outlet 13 is provided on the side of the body 1, a conduit is provided on the side of the water outlet 13, and a valve is provided on the conduit. By providing the water outlet 13, water dripping from wet clothes can be discharged out of the body 1 through the conduit, thereby preventing excessive water in the body 1 from causing damage to the body 1 or electric shock, and at the same time, the clothes can be dried more quickly, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0034] It should be known that when the protective plate 12 moves normally, the rack segment 41 on the protective plate 12 does not contact and mesh with the gear 42, so that the locking structure 3 can continue to lock and fix the control component 2. When the control component 2 needs to be replaced or repaired, the protective plate 12 can be pushed hard at this time. When the protective plate 12 is pushed, the rack segment 41 can be brought into contact and mesh with the gear 42, and then the gear 42 can be driven to rotate when the rack segment 41 moves. The rotation of the gear 42 causes the locking block 31 to fully extend from the locking groove on the locking block 32. At this time, the wire connected to the conductive column can be separated from the control component 2, so that the control component 2 can be extended from the body 1.
