Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of drying equipment, in particular to a clothes dryer. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the relevant technology, the dryer includes a cover body and a main body, and the cover body is arranged on the main body. In order to facilitate the closing and opening operations of the cover body on the main body, the dryer is provided with an elastic locking structure for locking the cover body on the main body. However, after the user performs the unlocking operation of the current elastic locking mechanism, there is a possibility that the cover body falls due to the action of gravity and is locked again, which causes inconvenience to the user in use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technology.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of the present invention provides a clothes dryer.

[0005] In view of this, the first aspect of the utility model provides a dryer, including a main body assembly, a cover body, a locking assembly and a push rod assembly, wherein the cover body is covered on the main body assembly, the locking assembly is arranged on the main body assembly, the push rod assembly is arranged on the main body assembly, the push rod assembly also includes a push rod, and the push rod can move relative to the main body assembly, wherein the locking assembly has a locked state and an unlocked state, when the locking assembly is in the locked state, the cover body is locked on the main body assembly by the locking assembly, when the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the push rod protrudes from the main body assembly and contacts with the cover body, and there is a gap between the cover body and the main body assembly.

[0006] The present application provides a clothes dryer, in which the main body component is used to load components related to drying and heating processes when the dryer is drying clothes. When the dryer is in an idle state or after the drying of clothes is completed, a cover is provided on the main body component to prevent dust and humid air from invading the interior of the main body component, thereby protecting the main body component from adverse environmental factors, thereby ensuring good working conditions when drying clothes and extending the service life of the dryer.

[0007] Furthermore, by arranging the locking assembly on the main body assembly, when the locking assembly is in the locked state, the cover body and the main body assembly can be more firmly connected through the locking assembly, so that the cover body can be stably locked on the main body assembly during movement such as carrying or transporting. When the dryer is subjected to external forces such as collision or extrusion, the cover body will not fall off from the main body assembly, which can maintain a clean and tidy environment inside the main body assembly and avoid the many inconveniences caused by the cover body falling off the main body assembly or other objects being accidentally stuck between the cover body and the main body assembly during carrying.

[0008] Furthermore, the push rod assembly is arranged on the main body assembly, and the push rod in the push rod assembly can move relative to the main body assembly. When the cover body is locked on the main body assembly, the push rod moves downward after being subjected to the downward pressure of the cover body, so that it is stored in the main body assembly. When the lock between the cover body and the main body assembly is released, the push rod can move upward and protrude out of the main body assembly, thereby lifting the cover body upward.

[0009] When the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the downward force exerted by the cover body on the push rod assembly becomes smaller, and the push rod can move upward at this time. When the push rod protrudes out of the main body assembly, the push rod and the cover body are in contact, so that the cover body is pushed upward by the push rod. By setting the push rod, after the lock between the cover body and the main body assembly is released, the cover body can be lifted up evenly to achieve complete separation between the cover body and the main body assembly. When the cover body is lifted by the push rod, the cover body will not fall due to gravity because it is supported by the push rod at the bottom. At this time, there is a gap between the cover body and the main body assembly. The height of the cover body is different from the height of the locking assembly set on the main body assembly. The locking assembly no longer contacts the cover body at this time. Therefore, even when the locking assembly is reset, the cover body will not fall due to gravity and be mistakenly locked on the main body assembly again.

[0010] In addition, the clothes dryer in the above technical solution provided by the utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0011] In some technical solutions of the utility model, optionally, the push rod assembly also includes a first seat body and a first elastic member, the first seat body is arranged on the main body assembly, the first end of the first elastic member contacts the first seat body, and the second end of the first elastic member contacts the push rod, and when the locking assembly is in a locked state, the cover body is pressed on the push rod, and the first elastic member is in a compressed state.

[0012] In this technical solution, the first seat body is located below the push rod and is used to carry the first elastic member, the push rod and other components. The first elastic member is located between the push rod and the first seat body. The first elastic member will be deformed and compressed when subjected to the extrusion force, and at the same time, a force in the opposite direction of the extrusion force will be generated. The first end of the first elastic member is in contact with the first seat body, and the second end of the first elastic member is in contact with the push rod. The first elastic member can withstand the extrusion force from the first seat body and the push rod and then be deformed and compressed, and the reaction force generated when it is deformed and compressed can also be applied to the first seat body and the push rod, so that the first elastic member can drive the push rod to move upward through the reaction force generated when it is deformed and compressed, thereby making the push rod protrude from the main body assembly and then lift the cover body. By setting the first elastic member, it is achieved that when the locking assembly is unlocked, the cover body can automatically pop up to avoid being locked again.

[0013] Specifically, when the locking assembly is in a locked state, the cover body is pressed on the push rod, and the cover body applies a downward force to the push rod to make the push rod move downward. The first elastic member is subjected to an extrusion force between the push rod and the first seat body, so that the first elastic member is in a deformed and compressed state.

[0014] In some technical solutions of the present utility model, optionally, the push rod assembly also includes a support column, the support column is connected to the first seat body, the first elastic member is sleeved on the support column, and the push rod is sleeved on the first elastic member.

[0015] In this technical solution, the support column is connected to the first base body and is used to support the components located above the first base body. The first elastic member is sleeved on the support column so that the first elastic member is more stably located at the installation position. The movement direction of the first elastic member is parallel to the extension direction of the two ends of the support column.

[0016] Furthermore, the push rod is sleeved on the first elastic member, and the first elastic member is located in the space formed by the support column and the inner cavity of the push rod. The second end of the first elastic member contacts the top of the inner cavity of the push rod. Through the cooperation between the support column and the inner cavity of the push rod, the movement direction of the two ends of the first elastic member during deformation can be guided to prevent the first elastic member from deviating from the installation position when the force is uneven, so that the movement direction of the second end of the first elastic member is always consistent with the movement direction of the push rod, ensuring that the first elastic member can drive the push rod to move upward.

[0017] In some technical schemes of the utility model, optionally, the main body component includes a host component and a shell, the shell is arranged in the host component, an installation cavity is arranged between the shell and the host component, an installation hole is arranged on the shell, the first seat body is arranged in the installation cavity, and the push rod is passed through the installation hole.

[0018] In this technical solution, by providing a mounting hole in the shell, the mounting cavity and the mounting hole provide mounting space for the first seat body and the ejector rod.

[0019] Furthermore, the first seat body is arranged in the installation cavity, and the installation cavity fixes the first seat body in the installation position, so that when the first seat body bears the downward force applied by the upper component, the first seat body will not slide due to the external force. The push rod is passed through the installation hole, and the space formed by the installation hole can limit the movement range of the push rod, so that the push rod can move up and down without deviating from the installation position even when the force is uneven.

[0020] In some technical solutions of the utility model, optionally, the ejector rod includes an ejection portion and a positioning portion, and the positioning portion is arranged along the circumference of the ejection portion, wherein when the locking assembly is in an unlocked state, the ejection portion is located in the mounting hole and protrudes out of the shell, and the positioning portion contacts the inner side of the shell.

[0021] In this technical solution, when the ejector pin protrudes out of the main body assembly, the ejection portion contacts the cover body, and the positioning portion is arranged along the circumference of the ejection portion, so that when the ejector pin is rotated to any angle, it can remain in the installation position and move along the axial direction of the installation hole. At the same time, by providing the positioning portion, the ejector pin is prevented from completely passing through the installation hole and falling off.

[0022] Specifically, when the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the first elastic member changes from a compressed state to an extended state, and the push rod begins to move upward under the force of the first elastic member. When the ejection portion is located in the mounting hole and protrudes out of the shell, the positioning portion contacts the inner side of the shell and generates a force, causing the push rod to stop moving and be in the installation position, thereby achieving the positioning of the push rod.

[0023] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the first elastic member is a spring, a plastic member or a spring.

[0024] In this technical solution, the first elastic member can be a spring, a plastic member, a spring sheet or other elastic member that can be deformed by external force and can recover by itself. Elastic members such as springs, plastic members or spring sheets not only have a wide range of applications and high durability, but also have the advantages of simple structure, not easy to damage and low cost. They can meet the service life and cost control requirements of related equipment during the production process.

[0025] In some technical schemes of the utility model, optionally, the locking assembly includes a second seat body, a locking block and a driving block, the second seat body is arranged on the main body assembly, the locking block is arranged on the second seat body, and the driving block is in contact with the locking block, wherein when the locking assembly is in a locked state, the locking block is located in a first position and is engaged with the cover body, and when the locking assembly is in an unlocked state, the locking block is located in a second position and is separated from the cover body, and the driving block can drive the locking block to move between the first position and the second position.

[0026] In this technical solution, a second seat body is arranged on the main body assembly to carry other components to ensure that the locking assembly remains stable in the installation position when subjected to force and does not slide or displace. A locking block is arranged on the second seat body to engage with the cover body so that the cover body can be locked on the main body assembly. The driving block contacts the locking block to drive the locking block to be in a locked state or an unlocked state, thereby closing or opening the cover body.

[0027] Specifically, when the locking assembly is in a locked state, the locking block is located in a first position and is engaged with the cover body. At this time, the cover body cannot be opened so that the dryer can be carried or transported. When the cover body needs to be opened to dry the clothes, the driving block can be pressed. At this time, the driving block starts to move and drives the locking block to move horizontally along the bottom surface of the second seat body, so that the locking block moves from the first position to the second position. When the locking block is in the second position and separated from the cover body, the locking assembly is in an unlocked state. At this time, the cover body can be opened to start the operation of drying the clothes.

[0028] In some technical solutions of the utility model, optionally, the driving block can move along a first direction, the first end of the driving block is exposed outside the cover body, the second end of the driving block is provided with a first driving surface, the first driving surface is inclined relative to the first direction, and the locking block is provided with a second driving surface, the second driving surface is inclined relative to the first direction and contacts with the first driving surface.

[0029] In this technical solution, when the locking block is driven, the driving block moves in a first direction, and the first end of the driving block is exposed outside the cover body to facilitate the application of force to the driving block. When the driving block moves in the first direction, the first driving surface also moves therewith and generates a force inclined to the first direction. By providing a second driving surface inclined relative to the first direction on the locking block and making the second driving surface contact with the first driving surface, when the first driving surface moves, the second driving surface will also move therewith and thereby drive the locking block to move.

[0030] Specifically, by setting a first driving surface, the force generated by the driving block along the first direction can be converted into a force different from the first direction. By setting a second driving surface and contacting the first driving surface, the force transmitted by the first driving surface can be converted into a force that causes the locking block to move between the first position and the second position. The movement of the driving block is controlled to drive the locking block to move between the first position and the second position, so as to realize the locking state and the unlocking state of the locking assembly.

[0031] In some technical solutions of the utility model, optionally, the locking block also includes a locking portion, and a locking opening is provided on the cover body, wherein when the locking assembly is in a locked state, the locking portion is located in the locking opening, and when the locking assembly is in an unlocked state, the locking portion is disengaged from the locking opening.

[0032] In this technical solution, locking and unlocking between the cover body and the main body assembly are achieved by the cooperation between the locking portion arranged on the locking block and the locking opening arranged on the cover body.

[0033] Specifically, when the locking assembly is in a locked state, the locking portion is located in the locking opening, at which time the locking block is embedded in the cover body, and the cover body is restricted in its movement direction and cannot be opened; when the locking assembly is in an unlocked state, the locking portion is disengaged from the locking opening, at which time the locking block leaves the cover body, and the cover body is no longer restricted in its movement direction and can be opened.

[0034] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the locking assembly also includes a second elastic member, which is arranged along the movement direction of the locking block, the first end of the second elastic member abuts against the second seat body, and the second end of the second elastic member abuts against the locking block, wherein when the locking assembly is in an unlocked state, the second elastic member is in a compressed state.

[0035] In this technical solution, the second elastic member is arranged along the movement direction of the locking block, so that the expansion and contraction direction of the second elastic member can be consistent with the movement direction of the locking block. The second elastic member is located between the second seat body and the locking block. The first end of the second elastic member is pressed against the second seat body, and the second end of the second elastic member is pressed against the locking block, so that the second elastic member can absorb the force generated between the second seat body and the locking block, and at the same time apply the reaction force to the second seat body and the locking block respectively.

[0036] Specifically, when the locking block is forced to move toward the second seat body, the second elastic member is compressed and deformed due to the extrusion between the second seat body and the locking block. At this time, the locking block is away from the cover body, the cover body is lifted up by the push rod, and the locking assembly is in an unlocked state. When the force acting on the locking block disappears, the second elastic member begins to stretch and deform. The second end of the second elastic member pushes the locking block to move in the direction away from the second seat body, thereby resetting the locking assembly.

[0037] In some technical solutions of the utility model, optionally, the main body assembly has an opening, the cover body is arranged on the opening, the number of the push rod assemblies is multiple, and the multiple groups of push rod assemblies are arranged along the outer periphery of the opening.

[0038] In this technical solution, some accessories of the dryer can be accommodated by an opening provided on the main body assembly. After the accommodation is completed, the cover body is placed on the opening so that the dryer and some of its accessories can be carried and transported as a whole, saving some additional storage space.

[0039] Furthermore, the number of push rod assemblies is set to multiple groups, and the multiple groups of push rod assemblies are arranged along the periphery of the opening and correspond to different positions of the cover body respectively. When the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the multiple groups of push rod assemblies can lift the cover body at the same time. By arranging the multiple groups of push rod assemblies along the periphery of the opening, the various parts of the cover body can move upward at the same time during the process of being lifted, thereby improving the uniformity of force between the cover body and the push rod, so that the cover body can be lifted up by the push rod more quickly and smoothly.

[0040] In some technical schemes of the utility model, optionally, the dryer also includes a cloth cover, which is connected to the main body assembly and to the cover body. When the dryer is in a storage state, the cloth cover is stored in the main body assembly and the cover body is disposed on the main body assembly. When the dryer is in a working state, the cover body is separated from the main body assembly, the cloth cover is unfolded, and a drying chamber is provided in the cloth cover, which can dry clothes.

[0041] In this technical solution, the dryer also includes a cloth cover, which is connected to the main body assembly and to the cover body. A closed space is formed between the main body assembly and the cover body through the cloth cover, which can provide a good operating environment for the clothes to be processed. The dryer also includes two different states: storage state and working state, to meet different needs.

[0042] Furthermore, when the dryer is in the storage state, the cloth cover is stored in the main body assembly, and the cover body is arranged on the main body assembly. At this time, the cover body is locked on the main body assembly to protect the cloth cover and prevent external dust or debris from entering the main body assembly to affect the use of the equipment.

[0043] Furthermore, when the dryer is in operation, the cover needs to be unlocked to separate the cover from the main body assembly, and after the cover is lifted upward, the cloth cover unfolds upward to form a drying chamber, and the clothes to be processed are placed in the drying chamber for drying.

[0044] In some technical schemes of the utility model, optionally, an air outlet is provided on one side of the main body component close to the cover body, and the dryer also includes a heating element and a fan. The heating element is provided in the main body component, and the fan is provided in the main body component. The fan can drive the airflow to pass through the heating element and then enter the drying chamber through the air outlet.

[0045] In this technical solution, an air outlet is provided on one side of the main body component close to the cover body, and an air duct is formed between the air outlet and the heating element. The air duct is used to transport airflow at a temperature required for drying clothes. The heating element is arranged in the main body component for heating so that the temperature of the heating element is continuously increased. The fan is used to form and drive the airflow. The fan is arranged in the main body component so that the fan can drive the airflow to pass through the heating element and take away the temperature generated by the heating element to form hot air in the air duct. The hot air is transported from the heating element to the air outlet, and then enters the drying chamber from the air outlet. The hot air fills the drying chamber, thereby drying the clothes to be treated in the drying chamber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0067] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0068] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0069] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 17 A clothes dryer according to some embodiments of the present invention is described.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1As shown, a clothes dryer 100 is provided, including a body assembly 110, a cover body 120, a locking assembly 130 and a push rod assembly 140, wherein the cover body 120 is covered on the body assembly 110, the locking assembly 130 is arranged on the body assembly 110, the push rod assembly 140 is arranged on the body assembly 110, and the push rod assembly 140 further includes a push rod 142, and the push rod 142 can move relative to the body assembly 110, wherein the locking assembly 130 has a locked state and an unlocked state, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the locking assembly 130 is in the locked state, the cover 120 is locked on the body assembly 110 by the locking assembly 130, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, when the locking assembly 130 is in the unlocked state, the push rod 142 protrudes out of the main body assembly 110 and contacts the cover body 120 , and a gap 150 is formed between the cover body 120 and the main body assembly 110 .

[0071] The present application provides a dryer 100. When the dryer 100 dries clothes, the main body component 110 is used to load components related to drying and heating processes. When the dryer 100 is in an idle state, or after the drying of clothes is completed, the cover 120 is set on the main body component 110 to prevent dust and humid air from invading the interior of the main body component 110, thereby protecting the main body component 110 from adverse environmental factors, thereby ensuring good working conditions when drying clothes and extending the service life of the dryer 100.

[0072] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, by arranging the locking assembly 130 on the main body assembly 110, when the locking assembly 130 is in a locked state, the cover body 120 and the main body assembly 110 can be more firmly connected through the locking assembly 130, so that the cover body 120 can be stably locked on the main body assembly 110 during movement such as carrying or transporting. When the dryer 100 is subjected to external forces such as collision or extrusion, the cover body 120 will not fall off from the main body assembly 110, which can maintain a clean and tidy environment in the main body assembly 110 and avoid the many inconveniences caused by the cover body 120 falling off the main body assembly 110 or other objects being accidentally stuck between the cover body 120 and the main body assembly 110 during carrying.

[0073] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the push rod assembly 140 is set on the main body assembly 110, and the push rod 142 in the push rod assembly 140 can move relative to the main body assembly 110. When the cover body 120 is locked on the main body assembly 110, the push rod 142 moves downward after receiving the downward pressure from the cover body 120, so that it is accommodated in the main body assembly 110. When the lock between the cover body 120 and the main body assembly 110 is released, the push rod 142 can move upward to protrude from the main body assembly 110, thereby lifting the cover body 120 upward.

[0074] Specifically, Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, when the locking assembly 130 is in the unlocked state, the downward force applied by the cover body 120 to the push rod assembly 140 becomes smaller, and the push rod 142 can move upward. When the push rod 142 protrudes out of the main body assembly 110, the push rod 142 and the cover body 120 are in contact, so that the cover body 120 is pushed up by the push rod 142. At this time, there is a gap 150 between the cover body 120 and the main body assembly 110. By providing the push rod 142, after the cover body 120 and the main body assembly 110 are unlocked, the cover body 120 can be lifted up evenly, so as to achieve the cover body 120 and the main body assembly 110. 10 is completely separated. When the cover body 120 is lifted up by the push rod 142, the cover body 120 will not fall due to the action of gravity because it is supported by the push rod 142 from below. At this time, there is a gap 150 between the cover body 120 and the main body assembly 110. The height of the cover body 120 is different from the height of the locking assembly 130 set on the main body assembly 110. The locking assembly 130 is no longer in contact with the cover body 120 at this time. Therefore, even after the locking assembly 130 is reset, the cover body 120 will not fall due to the action of gravity and be mistakenly locked on the main body assembly 110 again.

[0075] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0076] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the push rod assembly 140 also includes a first seat body 147 and a first elastic member 148. The first seat body 147 is arranged on the main body assembly 110. The first end of the first elastic member 148 contacts the first seat body 147, and the second end of the first elastic member 148 contacts the push rod 142. When the locking assembly 130 is in a locked state, the cover body 120 is pressed on the push rod 142, and the first elastic member 148 is in a compressed state.

[0077] In this technical solution, the first seat body 147 is located below the top rod 142 and is used to carry the first elastic member 148 and other components such as the top rod 142. The first elastic member 148 is located between the top rod 142 and the first seat body 147. The first elastic member 148 is deformed and compressed by the extrusion force, and at the same time, a force in the opposite direction of the extrusion force is generated. The first end of the first elastic member 148 contacts the first seat body 147, and the second end of the first elastic member 148 contacts the top rod 142. The first elastic member 148 can withstand the pressure from the first seat body 147. 47 and the extrusion pressure of the push rod 142 are deformed and compressed, and the reaction force generated during the deformation and compression can also be applied to the first seat body 147 and the push rod 142, so that the first elastic member 148 can drive the push rod 142 to move upward through the reaction force generated during the deformation and compression, so that the push rod 142 protrudes out of the main body assembly 110, and then lifts up the cover body 120. By setting the first elastic member 148, it is achieved that after the locking assembly 130 is unlocked, the cover body 120 can automatically pop up to avoid being locked again.

[0078] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, when the locking assembly 130 is in the locked state, the cover body 120 is pressed on the top rod 142, and the cover body 120 applies a downward force to the top rod 142 to make the top rod 142 move downward. The first elastic member 148 is subjected to the extrusion force between the top rod 142 and the first seat body 147, so that the first elastic member 148 is in a deformed and compressed state.

[0079] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0080] like Figure 5 and Fig.11 As shown, the push rod assembly 140 further includes a support column 149 , which is connected to the first seat body 147 , the first elastic member 148 is sleeved on the support column 149 , and the push rod 142 is sleeved on the first elastic member 148 .

[0081] In this technical solution, the support column 149 is connected to the first base body 147 and is used to support the components located above the first base body 147. The first elastic member 148 is sleeved on the support column 149 so that the first elastic member 148 is more stably located at the installation position. The movement direction of the first elastic member 148 is parallel to the extension direction of the two ends of the support column 149.

[0082] Furthermore, the push rod 142 is sleeved on the first elastic member 148, and the first elastic member 148 is located in the space formed by the support column 149 and the inner cavity of the push rod 142. The second end of the first elastic member 148 contacts the top of the inner cavity of the push rod 142. Through the cooperation between the support column 149 and the inner cavity of the push rod 142, the movement direction of the two ends of the first elastic member 148 during deformation can be guided to prevent the first elastic member 148 from deviating from the installation position when the force is uneven, so that the movement direction of the second end of the first elastic member 148 is always consistent with the movement direction of the push rod 142, ensuring that the first elastic member 148 can drive the push rod 142 to move upward.

[0083] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0084] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the main body component 110 includes a main body component 112 and a shell 114. The shell 114 is arranged in the main body component 112. An installation cavity 118 is arranged between the shell 114 and the main body component 112. A mounting hole 116 is arranged on the shell 114. The first seat body 147 is arranged in the mounting cavity 118, and the push rod 142 is passed through the mounting hole 116.

[0085] In this technical solution, by providing a mounting hole 116 in the housing 114 , the mounting cavity 118 and the mounting hole 116 provide an installation space for the installation of the first seat body 147 and the push rod 142 .

[0086] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first seat body 147 is arranged in the installation cavity 118, and the installation cavity 118 fixes the first seat body 147 in the installation position, so that when the first seat body 147 bears the downward force applied by the upper component, the first seat body 147 will not slide due to the external force, and the top rod 142 is passed through the installation hole 116. The space formed by the installation hole 116 can limit the movement range of the top rod 142, so that the top rod 142 can move up and down without deviating from the installation position even when the force is uneven.

[0087] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0088] like Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.14As shown, the ejector rod 142 includes an ejection portion 144 and a positioning portion 146 , wherein the positioning portion 146 is arranged along the circumference of the ejection portion 144 , wherein when the locking assembly 130 is in an unlocked state, the ejection portion 144 is located in the mounting hole 116 and protrudes out of the shell 114 , and the positioning portion 146 contacts the inner side of the shell 114 .

[0089] In this technical solution, when the ejector pin 142 protrudes out of the main body assembly 110, the ejection portion 144 contacts the cover body 120, and the positioning portion 146 is arranged along the circumference of the ejection portion 144, so that when the ejector pin 142 is rotated to any angle, it can remain in the installation position and move along the axial direction of the mounting hole 116. At the same time, by providing the positioning portion 146, the ejector pin 142 is prevented from completely passing through the mounting hole 116 and falling off.

[0090] Specifically, Fig.11 and Fig.14 As shown, when the locking assembly 130 is in the unlocked state, the first elastic member 148 changes from a compressed state to an extended state, and the push rod 142 begins to move upward under the force of the first elastic member 148. When the ejection portion 144 is located in the mounting hole 116 and protrudes out of the shell 114, the positioning portion 146 contacts the inner side of the shell 114 and generates a force, causing the push rod 142 to stop moving and be in the installation position, thereby achieving the positioning of the push rod 142.

[0091] Specifically, Fig.14 As shown, the circumferential direction of the ejection portion 144 is direction J.

[0092] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0093] like Figure 5 and Fig.11 As shown, the first elastic member 148 is a spring, a plastic member or a spring.

[0094] In this technical solution, the first elastic member 148 can be an elastic member such as a spring, a plastic member or a spring sheet, which can be deformed by external force and can recover by itself. Elastic members such as springs, plastic members or spring sheets not only have a wide range of applications and high durability, but also have the advantages of simple structure, not easy to damage and low cost. They can meet the requirements of related equipment for service life and cost control during the production process.

[0095] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0096] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the locking assembly 130 includes a second base body 132, a locking block 134 and a driving block 138. The second base body 132 is arranged on the main body assembly 110, the locking block 134 is arranged on the second base body 132, and the driving block 138 is in contact with the locking block 134. When the locking assembly 130 is in a locked state, the locking block 134 is located at a first position and is engaged with the cover body 120. When the locking assembly 130 is in an unlocked state, the locking block 134 is located at a second position and is separated from the cover body 120. The driving block 138 can drive the locking block 134 to move between the first position and the second position.

[0097] In this technical solution, the second seat body 132 is arranged on the main body assembly 110, and is used to carry other components to ensure that the locking assembly 130 remains stable in the installation position when subjected to force, and does not slide or displace. The locking block 134 is arranged on the second seat body 132, and is used to engage with the cover body 120 so that the cover body 120 can be locked on the main body assembly 110. The driving block 138 contacts the locking block 134 to drive the locking block 134 to be in a locked state or an unlocked state, thereby closing or opening the cover body 120.

[0098] Specifically, Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, when the locking assembly 130 is in the locked state, the locking block 134 is located at the first position and is engaged with the cover body 120. At this time, the cover body 120 cannot be opened so that the dryer 100 can be carried or transported. When it is necessary to open the cover body 120 to dry the clothes, the driving block 138 can be pressed. At this time, the driving block 138 starts to move and drives the locking block 134 to move horizontally along the bottom surface of the second seat body 132, so that the locking block 134 moves from the first position to the second position. When the locking block 134 is located at the second position and separated from the cover body 120, the locking assembly 130 is in the unlocked state. At this time, the cover body 120 can be opened to start the drying operation of the clothes.

[0099] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0100] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the driving block 138 can move along the first direction, the first end of the driving block 138 is exposed outside the cover body 120, the second end of the driving block 138 is provided with a first driving surface 137, and the first driving surface 137 is inclined relative to the first direction. The locking block 134 is provided with a second driving surface 135, and the second driving surface 135 is inclined relative to the first direction and contacts with the first driving surface 137.

[0101] In this technical solution, if Figure 7and Fig.13 As shown, when the locking block 134 is driven, the driving block 138 moves along the first direction, and the first end of the driving block 138 is exposed outside the cover body 120, so as to apply force to press the driving block 138. When the driving block 138 moves along the first direction, the first driving surface 137 also moves therewith, and generates a force inclined to the first direction. By providing a second driving surface 135 inclined relative to the first direction on the locking block 134, and making the second driving surface 135 contact the first driving surface 137, when the first driving surface 137 moves, the second driving surface 135 also moves therewith and thereby drives the locking block 134 to move.

[0102] Specifically, Figure 7 and Fig.13 As shown, by setting the first driving surface 137, the force generated by the driving block 138 along the first direction can be converted into a force different from the first direction. By setting the second driving surface 135 and contacting with the first driving surface 137, the force transmitted by the first driving surface 137 can be converted into a force that causes the locking block 134 to move between the first position and the second position. The movement of the driving block 138 is controlled to drive the locking block 134 to move between the first position and the second position, so as to realize the locking state and the unlocking state of the locking assembly 130.

[0103] Specifically, the first direction along which the driving block 138 moves is direction G.

[0104] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0105] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the locking block 134 also includes a locking portion 136 , and a locking opening 122 is provided on the cover body 120 , wherein when the locking assembly 130 is in a locked state, the locking portion 136 is located in the locking opening 122 , and when the locking assembly 130 is in an unlocked state, the locking portion 136 is disengaged from the locking opening 122 .

[0106] In this technical solution, the locking and unlocking between the cover body 120 and the main body assembly 110 are achieved by the cooperation between the locking portion 136 disposed on the locking block 134 and the locking opening 122 disposed on the cover body 120 .

[0107] Specifically, Figure 3 and Fig. 9As shown, when the locking assembly 130 is in a locked state, the locking portion 136 is located in the locking opening 122, and the locking block 134 is embedded in the cover body 120. The cover body 120 is restricted in its movement direction and cannot be opened. When the locking assembly 130 is in an unlocked state, the locking portion 136 is disengaged from the locking opening 122, and the locking block 134 leaves the cover body 120. At this time, the cover body 120 is no longer restricted in its movement direction and can be opened.

[0108] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0109] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the locking assembly 130 also includes a second elastic member 139, which is arranged along the movement direction of the locking block 134, the first end of the second elastic member 139 abuts against the second seat body 132, and the second end of the second elastic member 139 abuts against the locking block 134, wherein when the locking assembly 130 is in an unlocked state, the second elastic member 139 is in a compressed state.

[0110] In this technical solution, the second elastic member 139 is arranged along the movement direction of the locking block 134, so that the expansion and contraction direction of the second elastic member 139 is consistent with the movement direction of the locking block 134. The second elastic member 139 is located between the second seat body 132 and the locking block 134. The first end of the second elastic member 139 is pressed against the second seat body 132, and the second end of the second elastic member 139 is pressed against the locking block 134, so that the second elastic member 139 can absorb the force generated between the second seat body 132 and the locking block 134, and at the same time apply the reaction force to the second seat body 132 and the locking block 134 respectively.

[0111] Specifically, Figure 7 and Fig.13 As shown, when the locking block 134 is forced to move toward the second seat body 132, due to the extrusion between the second seat body 132 and the locking block 134, the second elastic member 139 is compressed and deformed. At this time, the locking block 134 is away from the locking port 122 on the cover body 120, and the cover body 120 is lifted up by the push rod 142. The locking assembly 130 is in an unlocked state. When the force acting on the locking block 134 disappears, the second elastic member 139 begins to stretch and then recovers the deformation. At this time, the second end of the second elastic member 139 pushes the locking block 134 to move away from the second seat body 132, thereby resetting the locking assembly 130.

[0112] Specifically, Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 and Fig.13As shown, the movement direction of the locking block 134 is direction H.

[0113] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0114] like Figure 1 As shown, the body assembly 110 has an opening 160 , the cover 120 is covered on the opening 160 , and there are multiple groups of push rod assemblies 140 , which are arranged along the periphery of the opening 160 .

[0115] In this technical solution, some accessories of the dryer 100 can be accommodated by the opening 160 provided on the main body assembly 110. After the accommodation is completed, the cover body 120 is covered on the opening 160 so that the dryer 100 and some of its accessories can be carried and transported as a whole, saving some additional storage space.

[0116] Furthermore, the number of the push rod assemblies 140 is set to multiple groups, and the multiple groups of push rod assemblies 140 are arranged along the outer circumference of the opening 160 and correspond to different positions of the cover body 120 respectively.

[0117] Specifically, when the locking assembly 130 is in the unlocked state, multiple groups of push rod assemblies 140 can simultaneously lift up the cover body 120. By arranging multiple groups of push rod assemblies 140 along the outer periphery of the opening 160, the various parts of the cover body 120 can move upward at the same time during the lifting process, thereby improving the uniformity of force between the cover body 120 and the push rod 142, so that the cover body 120 can be lifted up by the push rod 142 more quickly and smoothly.

[0118] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0119] like Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the dryer 100 also includes a cloth cover 180, which is connected to the main body assembly 110 and the cover body 120.

When the dryer is in a working state, the cover body 120 is separated from the main body assembly 110, and the cloth cover 180 is unfolded. The cloth cover 180 has a drying chamber 182, and the drying chamber 182 can dry clothes.

[0120] In this technical solution, if Fig.15As shown, the dryer 100 also includes a cloth cover 180, which is connected to the main body assembly 110 and the cover body 120. A closed space is formed between the main body assembly 110 and the cover body 120 by the cloth cover 180, which can provide a good operating environment for the clothes to be processed. The dryer 100 also includes two different states: a storage state and a working state to meet different needs.

[0121] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, when the dryer is in the storage state, the cloth cover 180 is stored in the main body assembly 110, and the cover body 120 is covered on the main body assembly 110. At this time, the cover body 120 is locked on the main body assembly 110 to protect the cloth cover 180 and prevent external dust or debris from entering the main body assembly 110 to affect the use of the equipment.

[0122] Furthermore, if Fig.16 As shown, when the dryer is in operation, the cover 120 needs to be unlocked to separate the cover 120 from the main body assembly 110. After the cover 120 is lifted upward, the cloth cover 180 unfolds upward to form a drying chamber 182, and the clothes to be processed are placed in the drying chamber 182 for drying.

[0123] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0124] like Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, an air outlet 111 is provided on one side of the main body component 110 close to the cover body 120, and the dryer 100 also includes a heating element 190 and a fan 170. The heating element 190 is disposed in the main body component 110, and the fan 170 is disposed in the main body component 110. The fan 170 can drive the airflow to pass through the heating element 190 and then enter the drying chamber 182 through the air outlet 111.

[0125] In this technical solution, if Fig.17As shown, an air outlet 111 is provided on one side of the main body component 110 close to the cover body 120, and an air duct 113 is formed between the air outlet 111 and the heating element 190. The air duct 113 is used to transport airflow at a temperature required for drying clothes. The heating element 190 is arranged in the main body component 110 for heating so that the temperature of the heating element 190 is continuously increased. The fan 170 is used to form and drive the airflow. The fan 170 is arranged in the main body component 110, so that the fan 170 can drive the airflow to pass through the heating element 190 and take away the temperature generated by the heating element 190, forming hot air in the air duct 113. The hot air is transported from the heating element 190 to the air outlet 111, and then enters the drying chamber 182 from the air outlet 111. The hot air fills the drying chamber 182, thereby drying the clothes to be treated in the drying chamber 182.
