DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] See also Figure 1-3The utility model discloses an adjustable support foot for a clothes dryer, including a support foot assembly 1, the support foot assembly 1 includes a support foot body 11, a support screw 12 is fixedly provided on the top of the support foot body 11, an adjusting nut 13 is threadedly sleeved on the support screw 12, a support seat 14 is movably provided at the bottom of the support foot body 11, a turntable 15 movably sleeved with the inside of the support foot body 11 is fixedly provided on the top of the support seat 14, an adjusting screw 17 is movably provided inside the support foot body 11, one end of the adjusting screw 17 extends to the outside of the support foot body 11, and the other end is threadedly sleeved with a positioning rod 18, and the end of the positioning rod 18 away from the adjusting screw 17 extends to one side of the turntable 15. When in use, the support screw 12 is screwed into the bottom of the clothes dryer, and the height of the clothes dryer is controlled according to the tightening depth. After the adjustment is completed, the adjusting nut 13 is rotated to contact the support foot body 11. The bottom of the dryer needs to be adjusted in height again, first turn the adjusting nut 13 to disengage the interference with the bottom of the dryer, and then turn the adjusting screw 17. Since the positioning rod 18 is limited by the driving groove 16, the positioning rod 18 is squeezed to move forward or backward horizontally according to the rotation direction of the adjusting screw 17. The adjusting screw 17 is turned to drive the positioning rod 18 to disengage the interference with the turntable 15. The user can then turn the support leg body 11 to drive the supporting screw 12 to adjust the height. During the rotation, the support seat 14 can be avoided from being driven to rotate, reducing friction, making the adjustment process simpler, more labor-saving and more flexible. After the adjustment is completed, the adjusting nut 13 is turned to contact the bottom of the dryer, and the adjusting screw 17 is turned to drive the positioning rod 18 to contact the turntable 15 again, relatively locking the position between the support leg body 11 and the support seat 14, thereby ensuring the stability of the dryer during use.

[0022] Specifically, an anti-skid pad 141 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the support seat 14. The anti-skid pad 141 is made of rubber. The provision of the anti-skid pad 141 separates the support seat 14 from the ground, reduces vibration transmission, reduces noise generated by vibration, and is more convenient to use.

[0023] Specifically, a plurality of anti-skid holes 142 are provided at the bottom of the anti-skid pad 141. The anti-skid holes 142 can absorb the ground when in contact with the ground, further ensuring the stability of the anti-skid pad 141 in contact with the ground.

[0024] Specifically, the turntable 15 is T-shaped, and the upper and middle parts of the turntable 15 are movably connected with the support leg body 11. One end of the positioning rod 18 is an arc surface, and the arc surface and the lower and middle parts of the turntable 15 are both unpolished rough surfaces. When the unpolished rough surfaces contact each other, there is a large friction resistance, which further ensures the locking effect of the positioning rod 18 on the turntable 15 and the support seat 14.

[0025] Specifically, a driving groove 16 is provided inside the support leg body 11, and the positioning rod 18 is movably sleeved inside the driving groove 16. A spring 19 sleeved with the adjusting screw 17 is also movably provided inside the driving groove 16. A plurality of operating holes 171 are provided outside the end of the adjusting screw 17 away from the positioning rod 18. Figure 1 The end of the adjusting screw 17 extending to the outside of the support seat 14 is in the shape of a hexagonal nut, which can be rotated by a wrench, and operating holes 171 are opened on the six sides of the nut. The user can also rotate the adjusting screw 17 by inserting a columnar tool into the operating hole 171. There are multiple operating methods, which makes it more convenient to use.

[0026] Specifically, a rubber plate 131 is disposed on the top of the adjusting nut 13. The provision of the rubber plate 131 can prevent the adjusting nut 13 from directly contacting the bottom of the dryer, thereby reducing vibration transmission.

[0027] To sum up, the adjustable foot of the dryer can control the positioning rod 18 to contact or move away from the positioning rod 18 by rotating the adjusting screw 17, thereby realizing locking and unlocking the relative positions of the support seat 14 and the support leg body 11. When adjusting the supporting screw 12, the relative positions of the support seat 14 and the support leg body 11 are unlocked, so that the support leg body 11 can rotate without driving the support seat 14 in contact with the ground to rotate, thereby reducing friction, making the adjustment process simpler, more labor-saving and more flexible, without the user having to lift the dryer. After the adjustment is completed, the relative positions of the support seat 14 and the support leg body 11 are locked, thereby ensuring the stability of the dryer during use and meeting the user's use needs.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
