Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of clothes dryers, and particularly relates to a door body structure of a clothes dryer. Background Art
[0002] A clothes dryer mainly consists of a door, a housing, a drum for placing clothes, an air duct, a heating element, a control system, etc. At present, except for clothes dryers that use a heat pump system to dry clothes, others use an electric heating element heating method to dry clothes; that is, air at ambient temperature passes through the heating element to become high-temperature gas and enters the drum. The high-temperature drying air exchanges heat with the wet clothes inside the drum and then becomes relatively low-temperature humid and hot air and is discharged from the drum. After a certain period of circulation, the clothes can achieve a drying effect.
[0003] Among them, the door body structure of the clothes dryer mainly consists of a door frame and a door bowl fixedly connected to the door frame. Since the door bowl and the door frame are assembled by a snap-fit method, there is a connection gap between the two, which may cause dirt or a biofilm to form at the connection gap due to the influence of impurities or water vapor during the operation of the clothes dryer, resulting in secondary pollution of the clothes.
[0004] Therefore, a door body structure of a clothes dryer is needed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art; for this purpose, the utility model provides a door body structure of a clothes dryer, which can seal the connection gap between the door frame and the door bowl, thereby avoiding the situation that the clothes are contaminated due to the formation of dirt or a biofilm at the connection gap. The utility model sets a sealing filler including a clamping base, a sealing and fitting part, and an elastic pressing strip, and enables the elastic pressing strip to extend along the connection gap between the door frame and the door bowl to intercept impurities and water vapor, avoiding the appearance of dirt and biofilm at the connection gap due to the influence of impurities and water vapor, so as to ensure that the clothes will not be contaminated due to the influence of dirt or biofilm.
[0006] To achieve the above object, a first aspect of the utility model provides a door body structure of a clothes dryer, including a door frame, a door bowl fixedly connected to the door frame, and a sealing filler;
[0007] A clamping groove is arranged on one side of the door frame that fits with the skirt of the door bowl;
[0008] The sealing filler includes a clamping base, a sealing and fitting part, and an elastic pressing strip;
[0009] The clamping base is press-fitted into the clamping groove in an interference fit manner;
[0010] The sealing and fitting part is arranged on the engaging base, and the end extends to the outside of the card slot to be hermetically fitted with the skirt of the door bowl;
[0011] One end of the elastic pressing strip is connected to the sealing and fitting part, and the other end extends along the connection gap direction between the door bowl and the door frame.
[0012] Further, one end of the elastic pressing strip away from the sealing and fitting part has a protrusion. When the door bowl is fixedly connected to the door frame, the protrusion just extends out and is placed at the connection gap between the door frame and the door bowl.
[0013] Further, the protrusion is arranged in an oval structure.
[0014] Further, the sealing and fitting part includes an elastic cover body;
[0015] An airbag chamber is formed around between the elastic cover body and the engaging base.
[0016] Further, the middle part of the upper surface of the elastic cover body bulges upward to form an arc structure.
[0017] Further, the engaging base, the elastic cover body and the elastic pressing strip are all made of rubber material.
[0018] Further, the engaging base, the sealing and fitting part and the elastic pressing strip are integrally formed.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:
[0020] By providing a sealing filler including an engaging base, a sealing and fitting part and an elastic pressing strip, and enabling the elastic pressing strip to extend along the connection gap between the door frame and the door bowl to intercept impurities and water vapor, it is avoided that dirt and biofilm appear at the connection gap due to the influence of impurities and water vapor, so as to ensure that the clothes will not be polluted due to the influence of dirt or biofilm.
[0021] Further, by providing a protrusion on the side of the elastic pressing strip away from the sealing and fitting part, and the protrusion is in an oval structure and is located at the connection gap between the door frame and the door bowl, when the door body structure is installed on the dryer, the protrusion can be located inside the dryer and wrap the connection gap between the door frame and the door bowl, so that the sealing performance at the door frame and the door bowl can be further improved to further prevent the formation of dirt or biofilm at the connection gap.
