[0040] The following further describes the present utility model in detail through specific embodiments in combination with the drawings.
[0041] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, this embodiment provides a hanging clothes dryer, including: a wardrobe body 100, a mounting seat 200, a lifting drive assembly 300, a clothes hanger rod 400, a grid 500, a drying assembly 600, and a wardrobe door 700. The outer shape of the wardrobe body 100 is set as a cuboid, which is convenient to be placed beside other cabinets, increasing the overall aesthetics.
[0042] As Figure 4 shown, a mounting seat 200 is fixedly connected to the top end of the wardrobe body 100. Uniformly distributed positioning holes are provided on the upper surface of the mounting seat 200 and the rear surface of the wardrobe body 100, and the number of the positioning holes is not less than four. These positioning holes are arranged at the edges and corners of the wardrobe body 100 and the mounting seat 200. By using expansion bolts or expansion rods on the positioning holes, the top and back of the dryer are firmly fixed to the wall or the corresponding support plate, ensuring the stability and safety of the machine during use. While saving space, it is not only convenient for installation but also provides support, enabling the dryer to remain stable even during long-term hanging operation or when carrying heavy clothes.
[0043] An equipment cavity is formed inside the mounting seat 200. The lifting drive assembly 300 is arranged in the equipment cavity. At the bottom end of the mounting seat 200, two through holes are designed, allowing the flexible steel wire rope 304 in the lifting drive assembly 300 to pass through smoothly. The other end of the flexible steel wire rope 304 is fixedly connected to the clothes hanger rod 400 inside the wardrobe body 100. By controlling the lifting drive assembly 300, the clothes hanger rod 400 can be controlled to move smoothly up or down. When the clothes hanger rod 400 descends to the bottom position, there is a wardrobe door 700 at the bottom of the wardrobe body 100. Directly opening the wardrobe door 700 is convenient for hanging clothes directly from below, which has convenience, especially when the dryer is relatively high or the user is relatively short, avoiding the problem of difficult clothes hanging. When the clothes hanger rod 400 rises to the upper position, it will be close to the drying assembly 600, so that efficient drying and sterilization treatment can be carried out on the clothes. At the same time, the clothes naturally hang down during the rising process, using the action of gravity to reduce the generation of wrinkles, ensuring that the dried clothes are flat and beautiful without additional ironing.
[0044] The grid 500 is provided on the top surface of the wardrobe body 100. The grid 500 can be any ventilation structure other than a mesh or strip shape. It should be noted that the number of grids 500 can also be increased according to the size of the dryer to form an air outlet and a return air outlet, increasing the air flow inside. The drying component 600 is provided at the top end of the grid 500 and can directly dry the clothes below quickly.
[0045] In an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 5 , Figure 6 shown, the lifting drive assembly 300 includes a double-shaft motor 301, a transmission gear assembly 302, and a coil 303. The output shafts at both ends of the double-shaft motor 301 are respectively connected to a set of transmission gear assemblies 302. Since the clothes hanger rod 400 in the dryer needs to be controlled by the lifting drive assembly 300, thus, at least two points on the clothes hanger rod 400 need to be evenly applied with tension to prevent the clothes hanger rod 400 from tilting. Therefore, the double-shaft motor 301 can output power with uniform rotation speed from both ends.
[0046] The transmission gear assembly 302 includes a worm, a gear set, and a rotating shaft. The output shaft of the double-shaft motor 301 is connected to a worm, and the worm meshes with a gear for power transmission. The output gear at the end of the gear set is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and a coil 303 is also sleeved on the rotating shaft, thereby realizing the transmission connection between the transmission gear assembly 302 and the coil 303, and the coil 303 rotates along with the output gear at the end.
[0047] A flexible steel wire rope 304 is wound around the coil 303. By rotating the double-shaft motor 301 forward and backward, the forward and backward rotation of the coil 303 is realized, so that the flexible steel wire rope 304 can be wound in or out.
[0048] A wire clamp 305 is provided on one side of the coil 303, and the flexible steel wire rope 304 passes through the wire clamp 305 to ensure that it will not deviate from its predetermined position or get entangled during rapid winding; the flexible steel wire rope 304 passes through a guiding fixed pulley 306 fixed on the side wall of the mounting seat 200 and passes through a through hole at the bottom end of the mounting seat 200 through which the flexible steel wire rope 304 can pass, so that the flexible steel wire rope 304 changes from a horizontal direction with the ground to a vertical direction downward with the ground, realizing a corner, and is clamped with the clothes hanger rod 400 through the block 307 at the end.
[0049] It should be noted that, as Figure 7 shown, a circular opening is provided at the top end of the clothes hanger rod 400, and a long strip-shaped opening is communicated with one end of the circular opening. The radial length of the circular opening is greater than or equal to the diameter of the block 307, so that the block 307 can pass through the circular opening and slide to one side of the long strip-shaped opening, realizing the clamping connection between the flexible steel wire rope 304 and the clothes hanger rod 400.
[0050] In addition, the connection between the clothes hanger rod 400 and the flexible steel wire rope 304 can be a threaded connection or a welded connection in addition to the snap connection, so as to ensure that the flexible steel wire rope 304 can effectively lift the clothes hanger rod 400.
[0051] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the drying assembly 600 includes a cross-flow fan 601 disposed at the top end of the grid 500. The cross-flow fan 601 is responsible for generating a strong wind at about 55 °C, enabling the hot air to uniformly penetrate the clothes, accelerating the evaporation of moisture, thereby achieving rapid drying. The high-efficiency wind of the cross-flow fan 601 can dry the clothes in a short time, while reducing the damage to the clothing fibers and maintaining the softness and shape of the clothes. An air purification assembly 602 is also disposed on one side of the air duct opening of the cross-flow fan 601.
[0052] It should be noted that the air purification assembly 602 is a negative ion emitter or a plasma emitter to be able to purify the clothes.
[0053] So that the wind emitted by the cross-flow fan 601 contacts the air purification assembly 602, making the clothes fresher and more natural during the drying process. In addition, it also helps to remove the odors on the clothes, maintain the freshness of the clothes, and provide a more comfortable wearing experience.
[0054] In an embodiment of the present utility model, since the clothes are taken and placed from the bottom, a wardrobe door 700 should be provided at the bottom of the wardrobe body 100.
[0055] As an implementation manner of the bottom of the wardrobe body, the wardrobe door 700 can be set to be composed of a plurality of connected panels, which can be folded outward or inward, a folding door that saves space. When taking and placing clothes, the folding design makes the door opening action not occupy extra space;
[0056] As another implementation manner of the bottom of the wardrobe body, the wardrobe door 700 can also be a sliding door that is pulled downward and pushed upward on the bottom surface of the wardrobe, which can facilitate single-handed operation and easily take and place clothes;
[0057] As a third implementation manner of the bottom of the wardrobe body, the wardrobe door 700 can also be a sliding door that allows the door to slide horizontally and open at the bottom of the wardrobe, which is suitable for a sliding door in an environment with limited space.
[0058] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the front surface of the wardrobe body 100 adopts an acrylic board 101. The acrylic board 101 is semi-transparent, bringing a soft light effect to the inside of the wardrobe, and can faintly see the internal working state without opening the door, and also avoids the situation that the internal clothes can be directly observed through the perspective board.
[0059] Inside the wardrobe body 100, a temperature sensor 103 and a humidity sensor 104 are also provided. Both the temperature sensor 103 and the humidity sensor 104 are connected by signal lines to a control unit for real-time measurement of the environmental temperature and humidity. The control unit is also electrically connected to the lifting drive assembly 300 and the drying assembly 600 for driving.
[0060] Through holes are provided in the acrylic plate 101, and a display panel 102 is embedded in the through holes. The control unit displays the temperature, humidity, and drying duration inside the dryer through the display panel 102.
[0061] In an embodiment of the present utility model, two guide rails 105 perpendicular to the ground direction are arranged in parallel on the inner side surfaces of both sides of the wardrobe body 100. The clothes hanger 400 is slidably connected to the guide rails 105. The end parts at both ends of the clothes hanger 400 slide into the grooves of the guide rails 105 for cooperation, so that the clothes hanger 400 slides up and down. The guide rails 105 play a guiding role to prevent the clothes hanger 400 from shifting or tilting during the rising process.
[0062] The grid 500 and the wardrobe body 100 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction or screwing. The grid 500 can be easily detached from the wardrobe body 100, and it can be easily cleaned to remove attached dust and lint, maintaining the hygiene and drying efficiency of the dryer.
[0063] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the inner surface of the wardrobe body 100 is covered with an antibacterial layer. The antibacterial layer can be any antibacterial material other than nano silver, copper-based materials, or zinc oxide. The antibacterial layer can effectively inhibit the reproduction of bacteria, molds, and other harmful microorganisms on the inner surface of the wardrobe, reducing the risk of clothing being contaminated.
[0064] Ventilation holes are provided at intervals on the side plates on both sides of the wardrobe body 100. The ventilation holes allow hot air to circulate more effectively during the drying process, accelerating the evaporation of moisture in the clothes, thereby improving the drying efficiency. In addition, good ventilation can reduce the retention of moisture, thereby inhibiting the growth of bacteria and molds and protecting the clothes from damage.
[0065] Based on the above embodiments, the working process of a suspended clothes dryer of the present utility model is as follows:
[0066] After sorting the washed clothes, put the clothes into the dryer through the wardrobe door 700 at the bottom of the wardrobe body 100. At this time, the clothes hanger 400 is located at the bottom position, facilitating the hanging of clothes.
[0067] Set the drying program through the external display panel 102, including parameters such as drying duration and temperature. Subsequently, start the dryer, and the control unit receives the start signal. The control unit activates the dual-axis motor 301 in the lifting drive assembly 300. Through the transmission gear assembly 302 and the coil 303 for transmission, the flexible steel wire rope 304 starts to be wound in or out, driving the clothes hanger 400 to rise smoothly to a position close to the grid 500. After the clothes hanger 400 rises to an appropriate position, the cross-flow fan 601 starts to work, generating hot air at about 55 °C, which uniformly penetrates the clothes to accelerate the evaporation of moisture. At the same time, the air purification assembly 602 purifies the clothes. The built-in temperature sensor 103 and humidity sensor 104 continuously monitor the temperature and humidity of the drying environment and transmit the data to the control unit. The control unit automatically adjusts the drying intensity and time according to this data to ensure that the clothes are dried evenly and not over-dried. When the preset drying duration is reached or the sensor detects that the humidity of the clothes has dropped to the set value, the control unit will automatically turn off the cross-flow fan 601 and the air purification assembly 602 to end the drying process.
[0068] After drying is completed, confirm the drying status through the display panel 102 and pick up and place the clothes through the door at the bottom. At this time, the clothes hanger 400 smoothly descends to the bottom position under the command of the control unit for convenient clothes picking.
[0069] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
