Technical Field

[0001] The utility model particularly relates to a dryer structure. Background Art

[0002] A dryer is an electrical appliance that uses electric heating or a heat pump system to heat and automatically dry clothes, including an exhaust type and a dehumidification type. The exhaust type directly discharges the high-temperature and high-humidity air formed by the evaporation of moisture inside the machine to the outside of the machine; the dehumidification type discharges the high-temperature and high-humidity air to the outside of the machine after generating condensed water through a heat exchanger. The warm air dryer belongs to the exhaust type.

[0003] When the warm air dryer works, the clothes need to be fully dehydrated. However, in the actual use process, people often do not fully dehydrate the clothes, so the moisture of the clothes will drip on the machine body, which may cause safety hazards such as electric charge on the machine surface and short circuit of the internal circuit.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and detailed implementation manners:

[0028] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the embodiment of the present invention preferably provides a dryer structure, including: a cabinet 1, with an inner cavity having an opening on one side; a first partition 2, detachably connected inside the cabinet 1, which divides the inner cavity into a drying area 3 and an installation area 4 arranged from top to bottom, and a drainage gap 5 is formed between it and the side wall of the inner cavity; a first water storage tank 6, which is arranged in the installation area 4 and directly below the drainage gap 5 for receiving the accumulated water falling from the drainage gap 5.

[0029] Specifically, the inner cavity of the cabinet is isolated and divided by the first partition, so that the water droplets of the clothes placed in the drying area fall onto the first partition, and then cooperate with the drainage gap and the first water storage tank, so that the dripping water flows through the first partition into the drainage gap, and then is concentrated and stored in the first water storage tank through the drainage gap, thereby realizing the isolation and collection of the dripping water of the clothes in the drying area, and avoiding safety hazards such as the electrification of electrical components and the short circuit of the internal circuit caused by dripping water;

[0030] And the user can maintain the electrical components below the first partition by disassembling the first partition, avoiding the trouble of overall disassembly of the cabinet in the prior art.

[0031] Furthermore, the drainage gap 5 is distributed along the circumferential contour of the first partition 2, so that the outer shape of the drainage gap 5 is annular, and the first water storage tank 6 is distributed along the circumferential contour of the first partition 2 corresponding to the drainage gap 5, so that the outer shape of the first water storage tank 6 is annular.

[0032] Specifically, the drainage gaps are distributed along the circumference of the first partition, so that the moisture dripping on the first partition can fall into the first water storage tank through the drainage gaps no matter which side of the first partition it flows to, thus facilitating the drainage of the dried clothes, avoiding moisture remaining on the first partition and causing dampness in the clothes drying area, and effectively accelerating the clothes drying efficiency.

[0033] Further, the inner bottom wall of the first water storage tank 6 is arranged at an inclined angle relative to the horizontal plane, and a drainage hole 7 is provided through the lower end thereof. A water storage tank 8 is detachably connected to the cabinet 1 directly below the drainage hole 7. Thus, the accumulated water in the first water storage tank is guided by its inner bottom wall to flow obliquely to the drainage hole, and then is collected into the water storage tank through the drainage hole, realizing the collection of the water and liquid for drying clothes; and through the detachable water storage tank, it is convenient for users to disassemble and drain. Here, the water storage tank preferably adopts a detachable installation connection with a drawer-type pull-out structure.

[0034] Further, an air outlet 9 is provided through the first partition 2, and an air outlet hood 10 is arranged in the air outlet 9. Further, the air outlet hood 10 includes a connecting ring 11 and a plurality of blocking strips 12 horizontally spaced apart inside the connecting ring 11. The length direction of the blocking strips 12 is arranged at an inclined angle relative to the horizontal plane, and the blocking strips 12 are arranged at an inclined angle relative to the horizontal plane transversely. The upper end of the blocking strip 12 in the transverse direction covers the lower end of the adjacent blocking strip 12. A plurality of water outlets 13 are provided on one side of the connecting ring 11 corresponding to the lower end in the length direction of the blocking strip 12, and the plurality of water outlets 13 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of blocking strips 12.

[0035] Specifically, through the cooperation of the air outlet and the air outlet hood, the blowing device in the installation area sends air into the clothes drying area to realize the air drying of the clothes, and the plurality of blocking strips arranged at intervals in the air outlet hood realize the blocking of dripping water. Specifically, the blocking strips are arranged at an inclined angle relative to the horizontal plane transversely, and the upper end of the blocking strip in the transverse direction covers the lower end of the adjacent blocking strip. Then, through the combination of the length direction of the blocking strip and the inclined angle relative to the horizontal plane, the water droplets dripping into the upper side of the blocking strip can flow obliquely along it to the corresponding water outlet and fall back onto the first partition, realizing the anti-dripping of the air outlet and the air outlet hood.

[0036] Further, a water blocking flange 14 is arranged along the circumferential contour of the air outlet 9 on the upper side of the first partition 2. Thus, it can better prevent water leakage at the air outlet and avoid the problem of water droplets leaking from the air outlet.

[0037] Further, an air inlet 15 is provided through the first partition 2, a grille is arranged in the air inlet 15, and a second water storage tank 16 is arranged directly below the air inlet 15 in the installation area 4. Thus, through the second water storage tank, the anti-dripping and dripping water collection of the air inlet are realized.

[0038] Further, a second partition plate 41 is provided in the installation area 4. The installation area 4 is divided by the second partition plate 41 to form a first air duct 42 and a second air duct 43 that communicate with each other. The air inlet 15 is communicated between the first air duct 42 and the second air duct 43. The air outlet 9 is communicated with the first air duct 42. An air inlet groove 44 communicated with the second air duct 43 is provided through the lower end of the cabinet body 1. Specifically, by communicating the air inlet with the first air duct, the blowing device can draw air into the drying area, and then send air into the drying area through the air outlet, so as to realize the circulation of air flow in the drying area, thereby effectively enhancing the drying effect in the drying area and preventing dampness.

[0039] Further, a blowing device 21 capable of sending air into the drying area 3 through the air outlet 9 is provided in the installation area 4. Further, the blowing device 21 is arranged on the second partition plate 41 and located in the first air duct 42. Specifically, the blowing device is a relatively mature existing technology and can meet the requirement of sending air to the air outlet.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification only illustrate the principle of the present invention.
