[0052] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0053] Here, it should be noted that in order to avoid obscuring the present utility model due to unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solution of the present utility model are shown in the drawings, while other details less related to the present utility model are omitted.

[0054] In addition, it should also be noted that the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 17 As shown, a clothes dryer 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is provided. The clothes dryer 100 includes a clothes drying assembly 200 and a lighting assembly 300. Integrating the functions of clothes drying and lighting in the same clothes dryer 100 enables users to enjoy a good lighting environment while drying clothes. The clothes dryer 100 effectively reduces the overall thickness of the clothes dryer 100 by reasonably designing the structures of the clothes drying assembly 200 and the lighting assembly 300.

[0056] In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the longitudinal direction is defined as the length extension direction of the drying machine main body 1.

[0057] Embodiment 1:

[0058] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the drying component 200 includes a drying machine main body 1, a driving component 2, a traction component 3, and a drying rod 4.

[0059] The drying machine main body 1 includes a housing 11. The housing 11 includes a top wall 111, side walls 112, and a base plate 114.

[0060] The top wall 111 is fixedly connected to the installation base. After the top wall 111 is fixedly connected to the installation base through expansion screws, there is still a section of the expansion screws exposed outside the installation base. That is to say, there is an installation gap between the top wall 111 and the installation base.

[0061] The top wall 111 is provided with a first convex portion 1111 and a second convex portion 1112. Both the first convex portion 1111 and the second convex portion 1112 are located within the installation gap, and the heights of the first convex portion 1111 and the second convex portion 1112 are adapted to the height of the installation gap. The space of the installation gap is reasonably utilized. At the same time, from the perspective of the user below, the increased local height at the first convex portion 1111 and the second convex portion 1112 cannot be seen, increasing the aesthetic feeling of the drying machine 100.

[0062] Among them, the first convex portion 1111 is arranged at the position of the top wall 111 corresponding to the driving component 2 and at least partially accommodates the driving component 2. The second convex portion 1112 is arranged at the position of the top wall 111 corresponding to the pulley 32 and is configured to at least partially accommodate the pulley 32 of the traction component 3. The occupied space of the drying machine main body 1 in the vertical direction is effectively reduced, thereby significantly reducing the overall thickness of the drying machine 100.

[0063] The side walls 112 extend along the longitudinal direction with the top wall 111 and enclose a receiving cavity 113 for receiving the driving component 2.

[0064] The side walls 112 include a first plate 1121 and a second plate 1122 arranged at an angle. One end of the first plate 1121 is connected to the top wall 111, and the other end is connected to the second plate 1122. The second plate 1122 extends from the first plate 1121 towards the direction close to the receiving cavity 113.

[0065] The base plate 114 is located within the receiving cavity 113 and divides the receiving cavity 113 into a first cavity 1131 and a second cavity 1132.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, reinforcing plates 115, end caps 116, and covers 117 are also provided on both sides of the housing 11.

[0067] The reinforcing plate 115 is arranged in an L shape and is fixedly connected to the top wall 111, the side wall 112, and the base plate 114. During long-term use, the clothes dryer 100 may be deformed due to various factors such as the weight of clothes and wind force. The presence of the reinforcing plate 115 can effectively prevent or slow down the occurrence of this deformation phenomenon, enhance the overall structural strength of the clothes dryer 100, and enable it to bear greater weight and more complex usage environments.

[0068] The end caps 116 and the cover 117 on both sides are arranged at both ends of the housing 11 along the longitudinal direction, jointly closing the openings at both ends of the housing 11 to protect key components such as the drive assembly 2 and the control box 12 inside the clothes dryer 100, preventing dust, moisture, or other external factors from causing damage to them, and thus extending the service life of the clothes dryer 100.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly 2 is received in the first cavity 1131 and is isolated by the base plate 114, which can effectively prevent users from accidentally touching the drive assembly 2 during use and avoid possible safety hazards. The drive assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the top wall 111 by screws.

[0070] The drive assembly 2 includes two winding wheels 21 and a motor 22 arranged between the two winding wheels 21. The traction assembly 3 includes a traction rope 31 and a pulley 32. One end of the traction rope 31 is connected to the drive assembly 2, and the other end passes through the pulley 32 and is connected to the clothes drying rod 4. The motor 22 includes two motor shafts 221 arranged opposite to each other along the axial direction. The two winding wheels 21 are respectively connected to the two motor shafts 221 and are driven by the motor 22 to rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the traction rope 31 wound around the winding wheels 21 to move, and finally driving the clothes drying rod 4 to move up and down relative to the clothes dryer main body 1 in the vertical direction. The arrangement where the two motor shafts 221 respectively drive the two winding wheels 21 to rotate reduces the intermediate links of power transmission, ensuring that the two winding wheels 21 can rotate almost simultaneously and at the same speed, which helps to achieve the synchronism and balance of the clothes drying rod 4 during the lifting process.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the clothes drying rod 4 is movably connected to the housing 11 through the drive assembly 2, enabling the clothes drying rod 4 to move relative to the clothes dryer main body 1 in the vertical direction. The clothes drying rod 4 includes a drying rod assembly 41 and a connecting assembly 42. The drying rod assembly 41 is located below the pulley 32 and is connected to the traction rope 31 through the connecting assembly 42.

[0072] The drying rod assembly 41 and the connecting assembly 42 are both located in the receiving groove 43. The receiving groove 43 is formed by the second plate 1122 of the side wall 112 protruding towards the top wall 111, and the opening of the receiving groove 43 faces downward. The receiving groove 43 and the second cavity 1132 are arranged adjacent to each other left and right, effectively utilizing the vertical space and avoiding waste of space.

[0073] At the position of the pulley 32 corresponding to the top of the receiving groove 43, there is an avoidance portion 431. The avoidance portion 431 is configured to at least partially receive the pulley 32, making full use of the space of the receiving groove 43, reducing the space occupied by the pulley 32 in the vertical direction, and thus making the overall thickness of the clothes dryer 100 thinner. At the same time, the setting of the avoidance portion 431 also avoids interference or collision between the pulley 32 and the receiving groove 43, improving the safety of the clothes dryer 100.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the drying rod assembly 41 includes a connecting plate 411 connected to the traction rope 31. At the position corresponding to the avoidance portion 431, the connecting plate 411 is provided with an avoidance groove 4111, which also serves to at least partially receive the pulley 32.

[0075] In this embodiment, the avoidance portion 431 is of a hollow design, and the avoidance portion 431 is an opening provided on the receiving groove 43.

[0076] In other embodiments, the avoidance portion 431 can also be set as a concave structure recessed towards the avoidance groove 4111, as long as a hole is opened in the concave structure for the traction rope 31 to pass through.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, the drying rod assembly 41 further includes a sleeve rod assembly 412 located below the connecting plate 411. The sleeve rod assembly 412 is a telescopic rod, which includes an outer rod 4121 and an inner rod 4122 sleeved and connected. The outer rod 4121 has a receiving groove 4123, and at both ends of the receiving groove 4123, there is an inner rod 4122, and the inner rod 4122 is slidably connected to the outer rod 4121.

[0078] At both ends of the inner rod 4122, there are an outer bushing 4124 and an inner bushing 4125. The diameters of the outer bushing 4124 and the inner bushing 4125 are larger than the diameter of the inner rod 4122. When the inner rod 4122 slides in the receiving groove 4123, it does not directly contact the receiving groove 4123, avoiding wear caused by friction and increasing the service life of the inner rod 4122.

[0079] A plug 4126 is also sleeved at the outer bushing 4124. When the inner rod 4122 retracts into the receiving groove 4123, the plug 4126 just closes the mouth of the receiving groove 4123, effectively isolating dust, flying insects, etc.

[0080] Please refer toFigure 9 , Figure 10 As shown in Figure 10 , a limiting protrusion 421 is provided on one side of the connecting component 42 facing the receiving groove 4123. The limiting protrusion 421 extends into the receiving groove 4123 and is configured to limit the displacement of the inner rod 4122 in the receiving groove 4123.

[0081] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 421 extends into the receiving groove 4123 through a small hole (not shown) reserved on the outer rod 4121. Since there is a distance between the inner rod 4122 and the receiving groove 4123, the limiting protrusion 421 does not interfere with the sliding of the inner rod 4122. When the inner rod 4122 extends out of the receiving groove 4123, the inner lining sleeve 4125 at the end of the inner rod 4122 will eventually abut against the limiting protrusion 421. The inner lining sleeve 4125 and the inner rod 4122 are snap-connected as a whole, thereby restricting the inner rod 4122 from continuing to slide out of the receiving groove 4123 and increasing safety.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 7 As shown in Figure 7 , the connecting component 42 includes a cavity 422 located below the avoidance groove 4111. The limiting head 311 of the traction rope 31 is limited and received in the cavity 422.

[0083] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 As shown in Figure 8 , the connecting component 42 includes a mounting opening 423 located on the side and a limiting opening 424 located on the top. The mounting opening 423 and the limiting opening 424 communicate with the cavity 422. The limiting head 311 is installed in the cavity 422 through the mounting opening 423 and is limited in the cavity 422 through the limiting opening 424.

[0084] In this embodiment, the connecting component 42 is a sheet metal integral structure, which has a low cost and is convenient for installation.

[0085] In another embodiment, please refer to FIGS. 9 to Figure 10 As shown in Figure 10 , the connecting component 42 includes a connecting member 425 and a fastening member 426. The connecting member 425 is provided with a receiving portion 427. The fastening member 426 is at least partially located in the receiving portion 427 and is movably connected to the connecting member 425. A cavity 422 for receiving the limiting head 311 is formed in the fastening member 426, and a limiting hole 4251 communicating with the cavity 422 is provided at the top of the fastening member 426.

[0086] Please refer to Figures 11 to 12 As shown in Figures 11 to 12 , the lighting component 300 is disposed in the second cavity 1132. The lighting component 300 includes a light source component 5 and a face mask 6. The light source component 5 is disposed on the substrate 114 and emits light toward the face mask 6. The face mask 6 is disposed facing the light source component 5. The face mask 6 is snap-connected and fixed to the substrate 114.

[0087] Specifically, the mask 6 includes a first light-emitting portion 61 and two extending portions 62. The two extending portions 62 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first light-emitting portion 61 and extend towards the second cavity 1132. Each extending portion 62 includes a second light-emitting portion 621 and a first clamping portion 622. The second light-emitting portion 621 is exposed outside the side wall 112, and the first clamping portion 622 is located inside the side wall 112. Correspondingly, the substrate 114 has a second clamping portion 1141 that extends towards the second cavity 1132 and is adapted to the first clamping portion 622. The first clamping portion 622 and the second clamping portion 1141 are clamped and matched to fix the mask 6 to the substrate 114.

[0088] In this embodiment, the light source assembly 5 is direct-down lighting, making the brightness of the lighting assembly 300 higher. By providing the first light-emitting portion 61 and the second light-emitting portions 621 on both sides, it can be seen that the mask 6 is a long-side borderless light-emitting mask 6, and end caps 116 are provided at the short sides, achieving sufficient lighting effects while saving costs. When the mask 6 is clamped in place with the housing 11, the bottom of the mask 6 is flush with the bottom of the drying rod 4, making the appearance of the clothes dryer 100 more beautiful.

[0089] When the user only needs to use the clothes drying function of the clothes dryer 100 and does not need the lighting function, the mask 6 can be replaced with an opaque plastic part, and the light source assembly 5 in the second cavity 1132 can be removed.
