However, due to the small steam generation power of the steam engine in the clothes dryer and the small total amount of steam, the generated steam is not enough to effectively dry and wash the clothes in the washing machine, and the stains and residual laundry detergent on the clothes cannot be thoroughly cleaned. Moreover, after using steam washing, the water in the drum increases, and it is easy to have a situation where the water accumulated inside the drum cannot be drained. Utility Model Content

[0032] As Figures 1 - 8As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a dryer, which includes: a first support frame 1, a second support frame 2, a plurality of connecting plates 3, a drum 4, a hot air generating assembly, a steam generating assembly 5, and a drainage assembly 6. The first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 are arranged opposite to each other, and an installation space for installing the drum 4 is defined between them. A plurality of the connecting plates 3 are sequentially and spacedly connected between the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2. The hot air generating assembly is installed on the second support frame 2. An air inlet is formed on one side of the drum 4 relative to the second support frame 2, and the air inlet is connected to the hot air generating assembly through a pipeline.

[0033] An installation groove 301 is formed on one of the connecting plates 3. The steam generating assembly 5 includes an installation member 501, a main body member 502, an evaporation tube 503, and a superconducting heating layer 504. Convex strips 5011 that are matched and embedded with the installation groove 301 are convexly provided on both side surfaces of the installation member 501. The main body member 502 is installed on the installation member 501. The evaporation tube 503 is arranged inside the main body member 502. The superconducting heating layer 504 covers the outer circumference of the evaporation tube 503. The evaporation tube 503 has a water inlet end and an air outlet end. The water inlet end is connected to a water supply device through a pipeline, and the air outlet end inputs steam into the drum 4 through a pipeline.

[0034] A plurality of drainage holes are formed on the outer wall surface of the drum 4. The drainage assembly 6 includes a water absorption member 601, a power shaft 602, a plurality of auxiliary shafts 603, and a water squeezing member 604. The power shaft 602 and the plurality of auxiliary shafts 603 are circumferentially and spacedly arranged on the second support frame 2 along the outer wall surface of the drum 4, and there is a gap between them and the outer wall surface of the drum 4. The water absorption member 601 is in a ring structure and is wound around the power shaft 602 and the auxiliary shafts 603. The area of the water absorption member 601 covers the drainage holes. The water squeezing member 604 is installed on the second support frame 2 and is used for squeezing the water absorption member 601.

[0035] Based on the above scheme, the clothes dryer integrates efficient steam washing function and intelligent drainage system, bringing users unprecedented high-quality drying experience. It is mainly composed of a first support frame 1, a second support frame 2, multiple connecting plates 3, a drum 4, a hot air generating component, a steam generating component 5 and a drainage component 6. The first and second support frames 2 are arranged opposite to each other to form a space for installing the drum 4, and the connecting plate 3 firmly connects the two to ensure the stability of the structure. The core of the steam washing function lies in the steam generating component 5, which is installed in the mounting groove 301 of the connecting plate 3. The evaporation tube 503 is efficiently heated by the superconducting heating layer 504, so that the water in the tube evaporates rapidly into steam. These steams are directly sent into the drum 4 through the pipeline, and the powerful penetrating power of a large amount of steam is used to deeply clean the clothing fibers, effectively remove stubborn stains and residual laundry detergent, and ensure that the clothes are clean as new. In view of the water that may accumulate in the drum 4 after steam washing, the present dryer is specially designed with an intelligent drainage system, which includes a water absorbing member 601, a power shaft 602, an auxiliary shaft 603 and a water squeezing member 604. The water absorbing member 601 is wound around the power shaft 602 and the auxiliary shaft 603 in a ring structure, and its surface area covers all the drainage holes on the outer wall of the drum 4, which can quickly absorb the discharged water. The water squeezing member 604 can squeeze out and discharge the water absorbed by the water absorbing member 601, avoiding the problem of water accumulation inside the drum 4 and ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the dryer. The entire steam washing and drainage process is highly automated, and users can enjoy the convenience of efficient cleaning and fast drying with simple operations. In addition, the structural design of the dryer is compact, and the various components cooperate well with each other, which not only improves the overall aesthetics, but also facilitates installation and maintenance.

[0036] Further, the water squeezing member 604 protrudes from the second support frame 2 along the length direction of the drum 4. The water squeezing member 604 includes a fixing portion 6041 on one side of the water absorbing member 601, a squeezing portion 6042 movably disposed on the other opposite side of the water absorbing member 601, and a driving portion 6043 capable of driving the squeezing portion 6042 to move relative to the fixing portion 6041 or move away from the fixing portion 6041. The water squeezing member 604 is designed to protrude from the second support frame 2 along the length direction of the drum 4. Such a layout not only optimizes space utilization but also ensures the maximization of drainage efficiency. The core components of the water squeezing member 604 include the fixing portion 6041, the squeezing portion 6042, and the driving portion 6043. The three work together to effectively drain the water in the water absorbing member 601. The fixing portion 6041 is firmly installed on the second support frame 2, serving as the support point and reference for the squeezing portion 6042. The squeezing portion 6042 is movably disposed on the other opposite side of the water absorbing member 601, and its shape and size match those of the water absorbing member 601 to ensure that force can be applied comprehensively and evenly during the squeezing process. The driving portion 6043 is the power source for the entire water squeezing process. It can precisely control the movement trajectory and force of the squeezing portion 6042, enabling the squeezing portion 6042 to reciprocate relative to the fixing portion 6041 or adjust the distance between it and the fixing portion 6041 as needed. During the drainage process, the driving portion 6043 is activated to drive the squeezing portion 6042 to move towards the water absorbing member 601 and apply pressure, forcing the water in the water absorbing member 601 to be quickly squeezed out and discharged through the drainage holes of the drum 4. After one squeezing, the driving portion 6043 then drives the squeezing portion 6042 back to the initial position to prepare for the next squeezing action. Through continuous squeezing and drainage actions, the water in the water absorbing member 601 can be efficiently removed, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of water accumulation inside the drum 4. This design not only improves the drainage efficiency but also extends the service life of the water absorbing member 601 and reduces the user's maintenance cost. At the same time, the automated operation of the water squeezing member 604 also greatly enhances the user experience, enabling the user to easily enjoy the convenience and efficiency brought by the dryer.

[0037] Furthermore, a water receiving tray 7 is further included, and the water receiving tray 7 is located below the squeezing portion 6042. The main purpose of this design is to collect and store the water squeezed out from the water absorbing member 601 to ensure that the water does not directly drip onto the ground or other components, thereby keeping the dryer and its surrounding environment clean and dry.

[0038] Meanwhile, the water receiving tray 7 is made of corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean materials and has a sufficient volume to accommodate the water generated during multiple drainage processes. When the extrusion part 6042 extrudes the water absorption member 601, the discharged water will flow into the water receiving tray 7 along a preset path and be safely collected. The user can conveniently take out the water receiving tray 7 when needed, empty the water in it, and perform cleaning and disinfection to ensure its long-term cleanliness and hygiene.

[0039] In addition, the design of the water receiving tray 7 also takes into account the convenience of drainage. It is also equipped with a drain port or a drainage pipe, and the user can simply operate to drain the collected water without worrying about excessive water accumulation affecting the normal use of the dryer.

[0040] In some embodiments, an air inlet is provided on one side of the drum 4 relative to the first support frame 1, and the air inlet is connected to the air outlet end through a pipe. After the steam is released from the air outlet end of the evaporation pipe 503, it is immediately guided to the air inlet of the drum 4 through a special pipe system. After entering the drum 4, the steam quickly diffuses and is evenly distributed among the clothes. Utilizing its strong permeability and dissolving ability, it penetrates deep into the clothing fibers to effectively remove stains and residual laundry detergent. At the same time, the flow of the steam can also help the clothes to unfold better, increasing the contact area with the hot air and further improving the drying effect.

[0041] Meanwhile, the direct connection between the air inlet of the drum 4 and the steam outlet end also reduces the energy loss during the steam transmission process and improves the energy efficiency of the overall system. This design not only optimizes the utilization efficiency of the steam but also simplifies the pipe layout, making the internal structure of the dryer more compact and reasonable.

[0042] To further optimize the heating efficiency and steam generation capacity of the steam generation component 5, the dryer of the present application has innovated in the design of the evaporation tube 503. Specifically, the evaporation tube 503 no longer adopts a single long straight tube structure, but is composed of multiple linearly arranged tubes 5031 spaced apart from each other and turning heads 5032 connected between adjacent linearly arranged tubes 5031. This segmented design enables the evaporation tube 503 to increase the heating area within a limited space, thereby improving the heating efficiency. The outer periphery of each linearly arranged tube 5031 is tightly coated with a superconducting heating layer 504, which has excellent thermal conductivity and can quickly convert electrical energy into heat energy after being powered on to efficiently heat the water in the linearly arranged tube 5031. Since the linearly arranged tubes 5031 are connected by the turning heads 5032, after the steam is generated in the linearly arranged tube 5031, it can smoothly flow through the turning heads 5032 to the next linearly arranged tube 5031, and finally converge and be sent into the drum 4 through the air outlet end. This design of segmented tubes with turning heads 5032 not only improves the steam generation efficiency but also makes the flow of steam in the evaporation tube 503 more uniform and stable. At the same time, due to the spaced arrangement of the linearly arranged tubes 5031, the superconducting heating layer 504 can be more evenly distributed on each linearly arranged tube 5031, avoiding problems such as local overheating or insufficient steam generation caused by uneven heating.

[0043] To achieve precise control of the superconducting heating layer 504, the dryer of the present application has further optimized the design of the superconducting heating layer 504. Specifically, electrodes 505 are sleeved at both ends of the superconducting heating layer 504 along its length direction, and these electrodes 505 are closely connected to the controller through conducting wires. As the intelligent center of the entire dryer, the controller can precisely regulate the working state of the superconducting heating layer 504 according to a preset program or the user's instructions. When the steam washing function needs to be activated, the controller sends an electrical signal to the electrodes 505 at both ends of the superconducting heating layer 504, and transmits electrical energy to the superconducting heating layer 504 through the conducting wires. After receiving the electrical energy, the superconducting heating layer 504 will quickly heat up and generate heat to heat the water in the evaporation tube 503, thereby generating steam. By precisely controlling the electrodes 505 by the controller, the heating power of the superconducting heating layer 504 can be adjusted, and thus the steam generation amount and temperature can be controlled. This precise control method not only improves the efficiency and effect of the steam washing function but also avoids energy waste and equipment damage caused by overheating.

[0044] In addition, the controller can also automatically adjust the working state of the superconducting heating layer 504 according to the real-time feedback of the temperature and humidity inside the dryer to ensure that the dryer operates in the best working environment. This intelligent control method not only enhances the user experience but also makes the maintenance and management of the dryer more convenient and efficient.

[0045] When deeply optimizing the steam generation component 5 of the dryer, special attention was paid to the gap design between the electrode 505 and the inner wall of the main body 502. This detail not only concerns the overall performance of the device, but also directly relates to the safety of use and the convenience of maintenance. Specifically, when the electrode 505 is sleeved at both ends along the length direction of the superconducting heating layer 504, a gap of 1 cm to 3 cm is left between it and the inner wall of the main body 502. Such a design arrangement is mainly based on the following considerations:

[0046] Firstly, the existence of the gap effectively solves the heat dissipation problem. A large amount of heat energy is generated when the superconducting heating layer 504 is working. If the electrode 505 is in close contact with the inner wall of the main body 502, it may cause local overheating, affecting the heating efficiency and posing a safety hazard. By leaving a gap, the heat can be evenly and efficiently dissipated into the surrounding environment, ensuring the stable operation of the device.

[0047] Secondly, the gap design also enhances the insulation protection. As a conductive component, the electrode 505 needs to maintain a certain distance from the main body 502 made of insulating material to prevent electrical faults such as short circuits or leakage. The existence of this gap provides a solid guarantee for the safe operation of the device.

[0048] Moreover, leaving a gap also takes into account the convenience of installation and maintenance. During the installation process, technicians can more easily adjust the position and angle of the electrode 505 to ensure that it is in close contact with the superconducting heating layer 504 without being too tight. At the same time, during subsequent maintenance work, it is also possible to conveniently check the state of the electrode 505 and replace damaged components in a timely manner, reducing the maintenance cost and difficulty.

[0049] Finally, the gap also adapts to the natural phenomenon of thermal expansion and contraction. During the working process, the electrode 505 and the main body 502 may undergo slight thermal expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. By leaving enough gaps, this small deformation can be accommodated, avoiding problems such as stress concentration and damage caused by the close contact between components.

[0050] Optionally, the main body 502 includes a bottom case 5021 and a cover plate 5022 slidably mounted on the bottom case 5021. An installation cavity is defined between the bottom case 5021 and the cover plate 5022, and both the evaporation tube 503 and the superconducting heating layer 504 are disposed in the installation cavity. The bottom case 5021 serves as the main support structure, and its internal shape and dimensions are precisely calculated to ensure that it can stably carry key components such as the evaporation tube 503 and the superconducting heating layer 504. The cover plate 5022 is tightly connected to the bottom case 5021 through a sliding mechanism, forming a closed and compact installation cavity between them. This installation cavity is the core area of the steam generating assembly 5, and the evaporation tube 503 and the superconducting heating layer 504 are carefully arranged therein. The evaporation tube 503 is responsible for converting liquid water into steam, while the superconducting heating layer 504 is closely attached to the outer periphery of the evaporation tube 503 and converts electrical energy into heat energy through efficient electrothermal conversion to heat the evaporation tube 503. Due to the closed nature of the installation cavity, heat can be effectively accumulated and transferred inside, thereby improving the steam generation efficiency and temperature stability.

[0051] In addition, the sliding installation design of the cover plate 5022 makes the maintenance and replacement of the steam generating assembly 5 simpler and faster. When it is necessary to clean, repair or replace the evaporation tube 503 or the superconducting heating layer 504, the user only needs to gently slide the cover plate 5022 to open the installation cavity and easily access the internal components. This design not only reduces the maintenance cost and time cost, but also improves the overall reliability and service life of the device.

[0052] Meanwhile, a guiding groove 5023 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the bottom case 5021, and the cover plate 5022 is fitted into the guiding groove 5023 and can reciprocate between an open position and a closed position along the guiding groove 5023. The user can easily reciprocate the cover plate 5022 along the guiding groove 5023 between the open position and the closed position as needed. In the open position, the cover plate 5022 is completely separated from the shielding of the bottom case 5021, exposing components such as the evaporation tube 503 and the superconducting heating layer 504 in the installation cavity, facilitating operations such as cleaning, repair or replacement by the user. In the closed position, the cover plate 5022 closely fits on the bottom case 5021, completely closing the installation cavity to ensure the sealing and safety of the steam generating assembly 5 during operation.

[0053] It is worth mentioning that it also includes a power component, the power end of which is connected to the power shaft 602 and is used to drive the power shaft 602 to rotate. As the power source of the entire drainage system, the power end of the power component is closely connected to the power shaft 602. By transmitting mechanical energy or electrical energy, it drives the power shaft 602 to rotate. The rotation of the power shaft 602 then drives the water absorption component 601 to rotate cyclically around multiple auxiliary shafts 603, forming a continuous water absorption - water squeezing cycle. This design not only simplifies the drainage process, reduces the need for manual intervention, but also improves the drainage efficiency, ensuring that the dryer can continuously and stably drain the moisture in the clothes during the drying process. In addition, the introduction of the power component also makes the control of the drainage system more precise and flexible. By adjusting the output power or rotation speed of the power component, precise control of the rotation speed of the water absorption component 601 can be achieved, so as to adapt to the different drainage efficiency requirements of clothes of different materials and weights. This intelligent and personalized design will undoubtedly bring a more convenient and efficient user experience to users.
