[0047] According to one aspect of the utility model, a component for a clothes drying machine is provided.
[0048] Figure 1 Several views of an assembly 100 for a clothes drying machine according to some embodiments of the present invention are shown. For illustrative purposes, Figure 1 Some components in the clothes drying machine are also shown in the figure to reflect the positional relationship between the component 100 and these components, but the component 100 does not necessarily include these components.
[0049] The assembly 100 may include a support frame 110, a wind wheel assembly 120 and a wind wheel assembly 130. The wind wheel assembly 120 and the wind wheel assembly 130 extend along the length direction of the clothes drying machine and are connected to the support frame 110 at both sides of the support frame 110.
[0050] The support frame 110 can be used to accommodate at least a main drive box 140 and a guide rope drive assembly 150 of the clothes drying machine. The main drive box 140 and the guide rope drive assembly 150 do not have to be components of the assembly 100. The main drive box 140 is mainly used for overall drive and control inside the clothes drying machine. As an example, the main drive box 140 may include a circuit board, various drive circuits, etc. The guide rope drive assembly 150 is mainly used to drive the guide rope of the clothes drying machine to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine. As an example, the guide rope drive assembly 150 may include a motor, a gear set, etc. By concentrating the main components in the clothes drying machine in the area between the wind wheel assembly 120 and the wind wheel assembly 130, the structure in the clothes drying machine is more compact and the space utilization rate is higher.
[0051] In some embodiments, the support frame 110 can at least partially isolate the host drive box 140 and the guide rope drive assembly 150. The host drive box 140 is isolated from the moving guide rope drive assembly 150 by the corresponding structure of the support frame 110, which effectively reduces the interference between the two during the operation of the clothes drying machine and increases the safety of use.
[0052] In some embodiments, the support frame 110 can also be used to accommodate a power box 160. The power box 160 is mainly used to receive external power input to power the clothes drying machine. As an example, the power box 160 may include a power control circuit, an energy storage element, etc. By accommodating the power box 160 in the area between the wind wheel assembly 120 and the wind wheel assembly 130, the integration of the clothes drying machine is further increased, and the internal layout is optimized.
[0053] In some embodiments, the support frame 110 may at least partially isolate the power box 160 and the guide rope drive assembly 150. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the support frame may at least partially isolate the power box 160 and the host drive box 140. By isolating the power box 160 from the guide rope drive assembly 150 and / or the host drive box 140, the safety of use of the clothes drying machine during operation can be further increased.
[0054] The following will combine Figure 2-Figure 3 The support frame 110 and its positional relationship with related components are further described.
[0055] The wind wheel assembly 120 may include a wind wheel 122 and a wind wheel drive motor 124. Similarly, the wind wheel assembly 130 may include a wind wheel 132 and a wind wheel drive motor 134. The wind wheel drive motor 124 and the wind wheel drive motor 134 are arranged at two ends of the wind wheel assembly 120 and the wind wheel assembly 130 that are away from each other. By arranging the wind wheel drive motor 124 and the wind wheel drive motor 134 at the outer ends that are away from each other, the influence of their vibration can be reduced, so that more components of the clothes drying machine can be accommodated in the area between the wind wheel assembly 120 and the wind wheel assembly 130, and the system integration inside the clothes drying machine is increased.
[0056] In some embodiments, the assembly 100 may include a display assembly mounting frame 170, which may be used to accommodate a display assembly 180 of the clothes drying machine and may be fixed relative to the support frame 110 and / or the housing of the clothes drying machine. The assembly 100 does not have to include the display assembly 180. The display mounting frame 170 is provided to accommodate the display assembly 180 so that the clothes drying machine has a display function. By installing and fixing the display assembly 180 through the display assembly mounting frame 170, the influence of various vibrations generated inside the clothes drying machine when it is running on the display assembly 180 can be reduced.
[0057] Figure 21 shows multiple views of a support frame 110 for a clothes drying machine according to some embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 2 The support frame 110 is shown in the front view (upper left), top view (lower), left view (upper right) and stereogram (lower right). The support frame 110 may be Figure 1 A support frame 110 of the component 100.
[0058] In some embodiments, the support frame 110 may include a support platform 210. The support platform 210 may be used to accommodate a host drive box and a guide rope drive assembly on two sides separated by the support platform 210. Alternatively, the support platform 210 may be used to accommodate a power box and a guide rope drive assembly of the clothes drying machine on two sides separated by the support platform 210.
[0059] In some embodiments, the support frame 110 may further include a support leg 220. The support leg 220 may extend from the support platform 210. The support platform 210 and the support leg 220 may define a space 230, and the support platform 210 may define a space 240 on a side away from the support leg 220. In some embodiments, the space 230 may be used to accommodate a guide rope drive assembly of the clothes drying machine. In some embodiments, the space 240 may be used to accommodate a host drive box of the clothes drying machine. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the space 240 may be used to accommodate a power supply box of the clothes drying machine. By separating the guide rope drive assembly of the clothes drying machine from the host drive box or the power supply box of the clothes drying machine with the support platform 210, the host drive box or the power supply box is not affected by the movement of the guide rope driven by the guide rope drive assembly, thereby increasing the safety of the product.
[0060] In some embodiments, the support frame 110 may further include a side panel 250. The side panel 250 may extend from the support platform 210 to one side of the support foot 220. The side panel 220 and the support plane may define a space 230 (inner space) and an opposite space 260 (outer space). The side panel 250 may be used to at least partially separate the guide rope drive assembly from the power box, and / or may be used to at least partially separate the guide rope drive assembly from the host drive box.
[0061] In some embodiments, the guide rope drive assembly of the clothes drying machine may be located in the space 230, the host drive box may be located in the space 240, and the power box may be located in the space 260. Thus, the guide rope drive assembly and the host drive box may be separated from each other by the support platform 210, and the guide rope drive assembly and the power box may be separated from each other by the side plate 250. At the same time, in this arrangement, the guide rope drive assembly and the power box are both arranged adjacent to the host drive box, and the display assembly may also be arranged adjacent to the host drive box above the host drive box, so that the wiring distance from the host drive box to the guide rope drive assembly, the power box and the display assembly is relatively short, which is conducive to the wiring of each component in the clothes drying machine and the host drive box.
[0062] In some embodiments, the guide rope drive assembly of the clothes drying machine may be located in the space 230, the power box may be located in the space 240, and the host drive box may be located in the space 260. Thus, the guide rope drive assembly and the power box may be separated from each other by the support platform 210, and the guide rope drive assembly and the host drive box may be separated from each other by the side plate 250.
[0063] The support frame 110 not only serves to accommodate the main components of the clothes drying machine, namely, the main drive box, the guide rope drive assembly, and the power box, but also can at least partially separate them from each other, thereby improving the accommodation efficiency while reducing the interference between them, thereby improving the system integration and safety of the clothes drying machine.
[0064] Combined with the following Figure 3 The positional relationship between the support frame 110 and the main drive box, the guide rope drive assembly, and the power box of the clothes drying machine is further described.
[0065] Figure 3 Multiple views of parts of components for clothes drying machines according to some embodiments of the present invention are shown. The parts shown may be Figure 1 A portion of assembly 100 is shown in FIG. Figure 3 The part is shown in a front view (upper left), a top view (lowermost), a left view (upper right) and a stereoscopic view (lower right).
[0066] Figure 3 1 and 2 more clearly show that the support frame 110 separates the host drive box 140 from the guide wire drive assembly 150, separates the power box 160 from the host drive box 140, and separates the power box 160 from the guide wire drive assembly 150. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the positions of the host drive box 140 and the power box 160 can be interchanged, and the support frame 110 can still play a separating role.
[0067] Figure 3 The display assembly mounting frame 170 of the component is also more clearly shown in the figure, which is used to accommodate the display assembly 180 of the clothes drying machine. In some embodiments, the display assembly mounting frame 170 can be fixed relative to the support frame 110. Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, the display assembly mounting frame 170 can be fixed relative to the housing of the clothes drying machine. Figure 4 The display assembly mounting bracket 170 and its mounting details with the display assembly are described.
[0068] Figure 4 A partial view of a component for a clothes drying machine according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Specifically, Figure 4 An exploded view of the display assembly mount 170 and the display assembly 180 is shown at the top, and an assembled view of the two is shown at the bottom.
[0069] In some embodiments, the display component 180 may include a display screen 410 and a display driving component 420. The display screen 410 may be used to display information related to the function of the clothes drying machine. The display driving component 420 may be used to drive the display screen 410 to display information. As an example, the display driving component 420 may include a driving circuit, etc.
[0070] In some embodiments, display screen 410 may be supported on one side of display assembly mounting frame 170 , and display driving assembly 420 may be accommodated in display assembly mounting frame 170 on the opposite side.
[0071] Figure 5 A partial view of an assembly for a clothes drying machine according to some embodiments of the utility model is shown. In this view, a display panel of the display assembly is removed to present more details.
[0072] In some embodiments, the display drive assembly 420 may include a position sensor 510. Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, the display drive assembly 420 may include a position sensor 520. The position sensor 510 and the position sensor 520 may be used in conjunction with a sensing component provided on a driving device of the swing air outlet housing of the clothes drying machine to sense the swing position of the swing air outlet housing. Figure 6 Further details of the swing drive and position sensing of the swing air outlet housing of the clothes drying machine are further described.
[0073] Figure 6 A partial view of a component for a clothes drying machine according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Specifically, Figure 6 Further details of the oscillating drive of the wind wheel assembly are shown.
[0074] In some embodiments, the two linearly arranged wind wheel assemblies may include a swing air outlet housing 610 and a swing air outlet housing 620, respectively. The assembly may include a swing bracket 630 and a swing bracket 640. The swing bracket 630 may be connected to the air outlet housing 610, and is used to be driven to swing the swing air outlet housing 610. The swing bracket 640 may be connected to the air outlet housing 620, and is used to be driven to swing the swing air outlet housing 620.
[0075] In some embodiments, the swing bracket 630 can be driven by a swing drive motor 670. In some embodiments, the swing bracket 640 can be similarly driven by a corresponding swing drive motor ( Figure 6Alternatively, in some embodiments, the swing bracket 640 may not be directly driven by the swing drive motor, but a synchronous swing connection 680 may be provided, which is respectively connected to the swing bracket 630 and the swing bracket 640 at opposite ends. Thus, the swing drive motor 670 drives the swing bracket 630 to swing, and drives the swing bracket 640 to swing synchronously therewith through the synchronous swing connection 680. By providing the synchronous swing connection 680, the number of swing drive motors can be reduced to reduce vibration, while further promoting the synchronization of the swinging of the swinging air outlet housing 610 and the swinging air outlet housing 620 on both sides.
[0076] In some embodiments, the assembly may include a sensing component 650 disposed on the swing bracket 630. Alternatively or additionally, the assembly may include a sensing component 660 disposed on the swing bracket 640. The sensing components 650 and 660 are connected to a position sensor (e.g., see Figure 5 The position sensor 510 and the position sensor 520) are used together to sense the positions of the swing bracket 630 and the swing bracket 640 during their swinging process, thereby performing more accurate swing control.
[0077] Figure 7 A partial view of a component for a clothes drying machine according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Specifically, Figure 7 Further details of the support frame 110 and its mounting with the synchronous swing connection 680 and the host drive assembly 730 are shown.
[0078] In some embodiments, the synchronous swing connection member 680 spans the support platform 210 along the length direction of the clothes drying machine. As an example, the synchronous swing connection member 680 may span at least the area covered by the host drive box 730 or the power box along the length direction of the clothes drying machine. As an example, the synchronous swing connection member 680 may also span to both ends of the support frame 110 along the length direction of the clothes drying machine.
[0079] In some embodiments, the support platform 210 of the support frame 110 may include a first portion 710 and a second portion 720. The second portion 720 is recessed relative to the first portion 710. In some embodiments, the first portion 710 is used to support the host drive box 730. In an alternative embodiment, the second portion 710 may also be used to support the power supply box. In some embodiments, the space between the first portion 710 and the second portion 720 may be used to accommodate the synchronous swing connection 680. In some embodiments, the synchronous swing connection 680 may at least partially contact the second portion 720. In some embodiments, the synchronous swing connection 680 may also not contact the second portion. In some embodiments, the depth of the second portion 720 recessed relative to the first portion 710 is adapted to the maximum swing amplitude of the synchronous swing connection 680. For example, when the synchronous swing connection 680 is in the maximum swing position, it does not contact the host drive box 730 or the power supply box. As a result, the swinging motion in the clothes drying machine will not interfere with its main frame drive box 730 or the power supply box, increasing the safety of use.
