Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of clothes drying supports, and particularly to a clothes dryer. Background Art

[0002] In existing clothes dryer products, a steam care device is usually provided. This device can treat the inside of clothes through steam, reduce wrinkles, sterilize and remove odors. However, the scope of action of the steam care device mainly focuses on the inside of clothes, and the care effect on the outside of clothes is limited.

[0003] On the other hand, there is an independent handheld ironing device on the market. Users can hold this device to iron the outside of clothes, further eliminate wrinkles on the clothes, and trim the details. This independent handheld ironing device has powerful functions, but it requires users to switch between the clothes dryer and the ironing device, increasing the complexity and inconvenience of use.

[0004] Currently, there is no product on the market that combines this independent handheld ironing device with a clothes dryer. This means that after using the clothes dryer for steam care, users still need to use a handheld ironing device to process the outside of clothes additionally, which not only increases the consumption of time and energy, but also requires additional storage space to place these two independent devices. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a clothes dryer, which has the advantage of being able to perform steam care on clothes in all directions.

[0006] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A clothes dryer, comprising:

[0008] A steam care device that conveys steam outward;

[0009] A hanging ironing device that is suitable for conveying steam outward;

[0010] An adapter suitable for connecting the steam care device and the hanging ironing device. The adapter has a first position for opening the steam care device and closing the hanging ironing device, and a second position for opening the hanging ironing device and closing the steam care device.

[0011] Further setting: The adapter includes:

[0012] An access part;

[0013] At least two first outlet parts and second outlet parts respectively communicated with the access part. The first outlet part and the second outlet part are respectively communicated to the steam care device and the hanging ironing device;

[0014] A switching member having a first position for opening the first outlet portion and closing the second outlet portion, and a second position for opening the second outlet portion and closing the first outlet portion.

[0015] Further provided that the first outlet portion and the second outlet portion are arranged at intervals along the outer circumference of the access portion.

[0016] Further provided that the first outlet portion and the second outlet portion are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the access portion.

[0017] Further provided that the switching member is rotatably or slidably disposed within the access portion.

[0018] Further provided that the access portion has a rotary cavity, and the switching member is provided with a cavity communicating with the rotary cavity and a through hole communicating with the cavity. The through hole has a communication state respectively communicating with the first outlet portion and the second outlet portion.

[0019] Further provided that there are two through holes, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the access portion.

[0020] Further provided that there are two through holes, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the access portion.

[0021] Further provided that a limiting structure for restricting the rotation of the switching member within the rotary cavity is further included. The limiting structure includes a first limiting rib provided on the switching member and a second limiting rib provided on the access portion. The second limiting rib is located on the rotation path of the first limiting rib.

[0022] Further provided that there are two second limiting ribs, which are respectively located upstream and downstream of the rotation path of the first limiting rib.

[0023] In summary, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] First, the clothes dryer of the present utility model is simultaneously equipped with an ironing and caring device and a hanging ironing device. Through the switching of the adapter, it is convenient for the two devices to work independently. Therefore, when the user needs to perform steam care on the inner side of the clothes, the clothes are hung on the clothes dryer, and steam can be continuously supplied to the inner side of the clothes for ironing and caring. When the user needs to perform hand ironing on the outer side of the clothes, a hand-held ironing device can be used to iron the outer side of the clothes. Two wrinkle removal solutions are provided to improve the user experience of the product.

[0025] Second, in the present utility model, an adapter is preferably used to control the connection and closing of multiple devices. The adapter has a switching member, which replaces the traditional valve. By rotating the switching member, the fluid flowing in from the access portion can be distributed to different outlet portions. Moreover, the adapter can be configured with multiple outlet portions according to the scenarios required by the user, and at least three devices can be switched by one switching member, and the effect is better than that of the traditional valve.

[0026] Thirdly, in the present utility model, the limiting structure can prevent the switching member from rotating excessively, and can also make the switching member just align with the through hole to be communicated at the rotation end position, improving the control precision.
