[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The drying machine main body 1 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] A drying machine main body 1 (also referred to as the main body 1) provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include a housing 11, a motor 12, and a noise reduction structure.

[0040] Among them, as Figure 1 shown ( Figure 1 in order to better show the internal structure of the main body 1, the side structure of the housing 11 is hidden), the housing 11 at least includes an upper housing 111 and a lower housing 112. Optionally, a cavity of the main body 1 can be formed by the cooperation of the upper housing 111 and the lower housing 112.

[0041] Among them, the motor 12 included in the main body 1 can be internally provided in the cavity and fixed by the upper housing 111; exemplarily, assuming that the drying machine is installed on the living balcony, the motor 12 can be arranged at the inner bottom of the upper housing 111 and fixed to the roof of the living balcony together with the upper housing 111 by screws.

[0042] Among them, the noise reduction structure can be arranged based on the cavity and / or the housing 11, and is used to reduce the influence of the noise generated by the operation of the motor 12. Optionally, the noise reduction structure varies according to the different positions where it is arranged. Exemplarily, the noise reduction structure can be a high-density material to effectively block the propagation of sound waves and reduce the penetration of noise; the noise reduction structure can also be a porous material. The porous material has good sound absorption performance and can absorb the sound wave energy through the internal pores to reduce the noise level.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, compared with the prior art, for the arrangement position of the motor 12, configuring the noise reduction structure is beneficial to reducing the influence of the noise generated when the motor 12 operates, improving the user experience, and further increasing the usage rate of the drying machine by the user.

[0044] In a feasible embodiment, the noise reduction structure may include a first sound absorption component 13. The first sound absorption component 13 can be internally provided in the cavity and includes a sound absorption material fittingly installed on the inner surface of the upper housing 111. Among them, as Figure 2 shown, the first sound absorption component 13 can cover all or part of the inner surface of the upper housing 111. Optionally, for the installation position of the motor 12, the first sound absorption component 13 at least includes a sound absorption material arranged between the upper housing 111 and the motor 12.

[0045] Optionally, since the motor 12 is fixed by the upper housing 111, there may be a certain gap between the motor 12 and the upper housing 111, and the arrangement of the first sound-absorbing component 13 can at least partially fill this gap.

[0046] Optionally, the sound-absorbing material of the first sound-absorbing component 13 may include sound-absorbing cotton, resonance sound-absorbing structures, and / or thin plate materials. Among them, the sound-absorbing cotton can be made of porous materials, such as slag wool, glass wool, polyurethane foam, etc. Since there are a large number of tiny pores inside the sound-absorbing cotton, when sound waves enter, they will friction with the air and the material surface inside the pores, converting sound energy into heat energy, achieving the sound-absorbing effect and reducing the energy of the noise generated by the operation of the motor 12 from spreading outward. Among them, the resonance sound-absorbing structure can adopt Helmholtz resonators, perforated plate sound-absorbing structures, etc., such as arranging a plate with several through holes between the upper housing 111 and the motor 12; the resonance sound-absorbing structure can use the resonance principle to produce a sound-absorbing effect at the operating frequency of the motor 12. Among them, the thin plate materials can include structures such as films and thin plates. When sound waves act on the thin plate materials, they can cause the vibration of the materials, thereby converting sound energy into mechanical energy or other forms of energy, achieving the sound-absorbing effect.

[0047] In a feasible embodiment, the noise reduction structure may include a second sound-absorbing component 14, as Figure 3 shown, the second sound-absorbing component 14 can be arranged on the inner wall of the cavity and be fitted and installed on the inner surface of the upper housing 111 and / or the lower housing 112. Optionally, the second sound-absorbing component 14 may include a damping layer, and the damping layer can be made of polymer materials, rubber, viscoelastic materials, etc. Since the rotation of the motor 12 may form vibrations inside the cavity (driving other components arranged inside the cavity to vibrate by the rotation of the motor 12), when the damping layer is subjected to vibrations, it can convert mechanical energy into internal energy through the interaction between molecules, thereby achieving the effect of vibration and noise reduction.

[0048] In a feasible embodiment, the noise reduction structure may further include a third sound-absorbing component 15, as Figure 3 shown, the third sound-absorbing component 15 can be arranged at the mating position of the upper housing 111 and the lower housing 112. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, considering that the upper housing 111 and the lower housing 112 may be mated using snap structures, bolt structures, etc., correspondingly, there may be seams, bolt holes, etc. at the mating position that may become the paths or leakage points for sound propagation. If the mating position is not properly treated, the noise generated by the operation of the motor 12 may be transmitted to the external environment through the mating position. Based on this, the embodiments of the present disclosure also arrange the third sound-absorbing component 15 at the mating position of the upper housing 111 and the lower housing 112.

[0049] Optionally, the third sound-absorbing component 15 may include a gasket, a filler, and / or a coating made of sound-absorbing material. When the sound waves generated inside the cavity contact the third sound-absorbing component 15, the third sound-absorbing component 15 can absorb the sound energy, reduce the reflection and propagation of the sound waves, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating or weakening the noise.

[0050] In a feasible embodiment, at least two ventilation openings are arranged on the housing 11. By using the arrangement of the ventilation openings, the noise reduction structure may include a small fan. An air flow is generated at the ventilation openings by the small fan, and the air inside the cavity of the main unit 1 is compressed by the air flow, and then the sound energy is consumed or weakened through the air pressure change.

[0051] Optionally, the small fan may be arranged inside the cavity (to avoid the cumbersome external structure of the main unit 1 and ensure the aesthetics of the main unit 1 while achieving the effect of weakening the noise) and near any ventilation opening. Among them, the air inlet of the small fan faces the inside of the cavity, and the air outlet faces the ventilation opening, so as to effectively guide the air flow. When the small fan operates, a negative pressure will be generated at the ventilation opening, attracting the air inside the cavity of the main unit 1 to flow outwards. The flow of the air will compress the air inside the cavity of the main unit 1, forming an air pressure change. The change in air pressure can affect the propagation and reflection of sound waves, thereby consuming or weakening the sound energy to a certain extent and reducing the noise level.

[0052] Optionally, the ventilation opening may be arranged at the bottom of the lower housing 112.

[0053] Optionally, as Figure 4 shown, the housing 11 may further include a side plate 113. The upper housing 111 and the lower housing 112 are fixedly connected through the side plate 113. The cooperation of the upper housing 111, the lower housing 112 and the side plate 113 forms the cavity of the main unit 1. Among them, the ventilation opening may be arranged on the side plate 113.

[0054] Optionally, to balance the air flow distribution, the ventilation openings may be symmetrically arranged. Exemplarily, the ventilation openings may be symmetrically arranged along the length direction or the width direction of the main unit 1. Among them, to improve the sound energy consumption effect of the arranged small fan, a symmetry center line may be established based on the position of the motor 12 (there is one on the length direction of the main unit 1, and there may also be one on the width direction), and the ventilation openings are arranged according to the symmetry center line. Among them, considering the control of noise, the shapes and sizes of different ventilation openings may be different to ensure the effect of reducing the influence of the noise generated during the operation of the motor 12 through the operation of the small fan.

[0055] The following describes the clothes dryer provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] In one embodiment, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the clothes dryer may include a drying rod assembly 2 and the main unit 1 provided in the above embodiment. Among them, the main unit 1 has a connection relationship with the drying rod assembly 2.

[0057] Optionally, a control module is provided in the main unit 1, which can be used to drive the operation of the motor 12 to control the lifting of the drying rod assembly 2. When the noise reduction structure configured in the main unit 1 includes the small fan described in the above embodiment, the control module is further used to synchronously control the switch of the small fan during the lifting process of the drying rod assembly 2, so as to reduce the influence of the noise generated by the operation of the motor 12 by consuming sound energy through the small fan.

[0058] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present disclosure configure a noise reduction structure for the layout position of the motor, which is beneficial to reducing the influence of the noise generated during the operation of the motor, improving the user experience, and further increasing the utilization rate of the clothes dryer by users.

[0059] The above are only some embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical concept of the solution of the present disclosure, other similar implementation means based on the technical idea of the present disclosure also belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
