Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of clothes drying equipment, and in particular relates to a partitioned clothes dryer. Background Art

[0002] Currently, clothes dryers on the market dry different types of clothing simultaneously, which can lead to color transfer when different colors come into contact with each other. Furthermore, mixing different types of clothing, such as underwear, outerwear, and infant clothing, can lead to bacterial transmission and pose health risks. To avoid this, users typically sort their clothes and dry them one by one, but this is cumbersome and creates a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a partitioned clothes dryer to solve the problem of complicated operation of the clothes dryer.

[0004] To address the above technical issues, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a partitioned clothes dryer comprising a drum and a clothes drying rack detachably connected to the drum. The clothes drying rack comprises a rotating shaft and multiple partition assemblies rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. The multiple partition assemblies rotate about the rotating shaft to expand or collapse the clothes drying rack. The partition assembly comprises at least two parallel partition plates, with adjacent partition plates slidingly connected to form a retractable partition assembly. When the clothes drying rack is expanded within the drum, the partition assembly extends to abut against the drum, forming a drying zone between the adjacent partition assemblies. This technical solution has the following technical effects:

[0005] The present invention provides a drying rack that can be deployed on the drum, so that the drying rack divides the interior of the drum into multiple drying areas. Each drying area can accommodate different types of clothing, and adjacent drying areas are separated by a partition assembly, providing a good drying experience. When different drying areas are used to store clothing of different sizes, the partition assembly can prevent clothing of different sizes from becoming tangled and difficult to separate during the drying process; when different drying areas are used to store clothing of different categories (underwear, outerwear, and infant clothing), the partition assembly can prevent clothing of different categories from coming into contact with each other, thereby preventing bacterial transmission; when different drying areas are used to store clothing of different colors, the partition assembly can prevent clothing of different colors from coming into contact with each other and causing color bleeding, thereby improving the user experience. By configuring the drying rack with multiple partition assemblies that can rotate around a rotating axis, and by detachably connecting the drying rack to the drum, the user can remove the drying rack from the drum when not in use, and fold the drying rack by rotating the partition assembly, thereby reducing the storage space occupied by the drying rack. The partition assembly is set to a retractable structure, so that when the user installs the drying rack into the barrel, the drying rack can be first unfolded and the partition assembly can be retracted to a shorter state, so that the user can quickly put the drying rack into the barrel, and then slide the partition plate to extend the partition assembly until it is connected to the inner wall of the barrel. The operation is simple and convenient, which reduces the difficulty of installation between the drying rack and the barrel. At the same time, the drying rack can adapt to barrels with different inner diameters and has a wider range of applications.

[0006] In the aforementioned zoned clothes dryer, the partition assembly includes a first partition plate and a second partition plate. The first partition plate includes a plate body connected to a rotating shaft and a slide rail provided on the plate body. The slide rail extends radially along the rotating shaft. The second partition plate is slidably connected to the first partition plate on both sides via the slide rail. By providing the slide rail on the first partition plate, the first partition plate can limit the movement direction of the second partition plate via the slide rail, so that the second partition plate can only slide radially along the rotating shaft. In other words, the partition assembly is extended or shortened radially along the drum body, preventing the second partition plate from moving in other directions, thereby ensuring that the partition assembly can stably separate the two adjacent drying zones.

[0007] In the aforementioned zoned clothes dryer, the slide rail is provided with multiple stop slots, and the second partition plate is provided with elastic stoppers. The elastic stoppers engage with different stop slots to limit the position of the second partition plate. This facilitates user operation and allows the second partition plate to remain in different positions, thereby maintaining the partition assembly at a set length. This prevents the second partition plate from sliding freely relative to the first partition plate during the drying process, thereby preventing clothes in adjacent drying zones from becoming entangled or bleeding.

[0008] In the aforementioned partitionable clothes dryer, the second partition plate is provided with a mounting groove for accommodating an elastic stopper. The elastic stopper includes a marble and a spring. The spring respectively abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove and the marble, thereby pushing the marble into the stop groove. When the second partition plate slides until the marble aligns with either stop groove, the spring pushes the marble partially out of the mounting groove and into the stop groove, thereby limiting the position between the first and second partition plates by the marble, preventing relative sliding between the two without external force. When a user pushes or pulls the second partition plate, the marble retracts back into the mounting groove under the push of the inner wall of the stop groove and the end surface of the slide rail, making operation easier and more labor-saving for the user.

[0009] In the aforementioned zoned clothes dryer, pull rods are detachably connected to the side surfaces of the first partition plates near both ends of the rotating shaft, and two adjacent first partition plates are connected by the pull rods. A pull rod is connected between two adjacent partition plates to prevent the two adjacent first partition plates from rotating away from each other, thereby maintaining a stable spatial size of the multiple drying zones and preventing the partition assembly from freely rotating and squeezing the clothes in the drying zones, thereby affecting the drying of the clothes. The pull rod is detachably connected to the first partition plates. When the drying rack is not in use, one or both ends of the pull rod can be removed from the first partition plates to prevent the pull rod from interfering with the folding of the drying rack, thereby facilitating user operation and providing a good user experience.

[0010] In the aforementioned partitionable clothes dryer, the pull rod includes a first pull section and a second pull section, each of which is rotatably connected to two adjacent first partition plates, and the first pull section and the second pull section are rotatably connected. By configuring the pull rod to have a structure in which the first and second pull sections are rotatably connected and cooperate with each other, during the process of folding the pull rod for storage, only a portion of the pull rod can be removed, and the remaining portion of the pull rod can be folded along with the clothes drying rack through relative rotation of the first and second pull sections. This also reduces the number of pull rods that the user needs to install when unfolding for use, reducing the user's operational difficulty and making use more convenient.

[0011] In the aforementioned zoned clothes dryer, a rib extending axially along the inner wall of the drum is provided, and a connector is provided on the partition plate at the end of the partition assembly. The connector has a slot in which the rib engages, thereby allowing the drying rack to move circumferentially in conjunction with the drum. When the drying rack is installed in the drum, the connector cooperates with the rib, engaging the rib in the slot. In this manner, the drying rack and the drum can move circumferentially in conjunction, that is, when the drum rotates, the drying rack rotates with it. As the drying rack rotates with the drum, the clothes are tumbled within the drying zone, ensuring more comprehensive contact between the clothes and the hot air, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0012] In the above-mentioned partitionable clothes dryer, the connection between the connecting piece and the partition plate is detachable. When the connecting piece is damaged, the connecting piece can be removed and replaced separately, thereby reducing the cost of repair and replacement.

[0013] In the aforementioned partitionable clothes dryer, a rib extending axially along the inner wall of the drum is provided. A groove is provided on the partition plate at the end of the partition assembly. The rib engages within the groove, allowing the drying rack and the drum to rotate circumferentially in conjunction. The groove allows the second partition plate to directly engage the rib, eliminating the need for a connecting rib on the partition plate to achieve joint rotation of the drum and drying rack. This reduces the structural complexity of the partition assembly, thereby lowering production costs and simplifying assembly steps.

[0014] In the aforementioned partitionable clothes dryer, the drum has a drying chamber for accommodating a clothes drying rack and an opening for placing and removing clothes from the drying chamber. The inner diameter of the opening is smaller than the inner diameter of the drying chamber. When the partition assembly abuts against the inner wall of the drum, the end of the partition assembly axially abuts against the circumference of the drum opening, thereby restraining the clothes drying rack and preventing it from falling out of the drum opening, thereby ensuring a more stable and reliable installation of the clothes drying rack within the drum.

[0015] The features and advantages of the present invention will be disclosed in detail in the following specific embodiments and drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] The utility model proposes a partitionable clothes dryer, comprising a drum and a clothes drying rack detachably connected to the drum. The clothes drying rack includes a rotating shaft and multiple partitioning components rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. The multiple partitioning components rotate about the rotating shaft to expand or fold the clothes drying rack. The partitioning component includes at least two parallel partitioning plates, and adjacent partitioning plates are slidably connected to form a retractable partitioning component. When the clothes drying rack is expanded within the drum, the partitioning component extends and contacts the drum to form a drying zone between the adjacent partitioning components. By arranging the expanded clothes drying rack within the drum, the clothes drying rack divides the interior of the drum into multiple drying zones. Different types of clothes can be placed in each drying zone, and adjacent drying zones are separated by partitioning components, providing an excellent drying experience. When different drying areas hold clothes of different sizes, the partitioning components prevent them from becoming tangled and difficult to separate during the drying process. When different drying areas hold clothes of different categories (underwear, outerwear, and infant clothing), the partitioning components prevent contact between clothes of different categories, thereby preventing bacterial transmission. When different drying areas hold clothes of different colors, the partitioning components prevent contact between clothes of different colors, which could lead to color bleeding, thus improving the user experience. By configuring the drying rack with multiple partitioning components that can rotate around a rotating axis and providing a detachable connection between the drying rack and the drum, the user can remove the drying rack from the drum when not in use and fold the drying rack by rotating the partitioning components, reducing the storage space occupied by the drying rack. The partition assembly is set to a retractable structure, so that when the user installs the drying rack into the barrel, the drying rack can be first unfolded and the partition assembly can be retracted to a shorter state, so that the user can quickly put the drying rack into the barrel, and then slide the partition plate to extend the partition assembly until it is connected to the inner wall of the barrel. The operation is simple and convenient, which reduces the difficulty of installation between the drying rack and the barrel. At the same time, the drying rack can adapt to barrels with different inner diameters and has a wider range of applications.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] A zoned clothes dryer, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a barrel 100 and a clothes drying rack 200, and the clothes drying rack 200 includes a rotating shaft 300 and a plurality of partition components 400. The partition components 400 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 300. The plurality of partition components 400 can be rotated around the rotating shaft 300 to expand or fold the clothes drying rack 200. The partition component 400 is a retractable structure, including at least two parallel partition plates, and the adjacent two partition plates are slidably connected. The adjacent partition plates can slide relative to each other to extend or shorten the partition component 400. The clothes drying rack 200 is detachably connected to the drum 100. When the clothes drying rack 200 is in an unfolded state within the drum 100, the rotating shaft 300 of the clothes drying rack 200 coincides with the central axis of the drum 100. The partition assembly 400 can be extended to the radial length of the drum 100 so that the end of the partition assembly 400 abuts against the drum 100. A drying area 140 for placing clothes is formed between any two adjacent partition assemblies 400. Because there are multiple partition assemblies 400, there are also multiple drying areas 140. Adjacent drying areas 140 are separated by partition assemblies 400 to accommodate different types of clothes. Of course, it is understood that in order to improve the drying effect of each drying area 140, multiple ventilation holes 460 can also be provided on the partition assembly 400 to connect adjacent drying areas 140. There can be two or more partition assemblies 400. In this embodiment, preferably, there are four partition assemblies 400.

[0036] The present invention provides a deployed drying rack 200 within the drum 100, so that the drying rack 200 divides the interior of the drum 100 into multiple drying zones 140. Each drying zone 140 can accommodate different types of clothing. Adjacent drying zones 140 are separated by a partition assembly 400, resulting in a better drying effect. When different drying zones 140 hold clothing of different sizes, the partition assembly 400 prevents clothing of different sizes from becoming entangled and difficult to separate during the drying process. When different drying zones 140 hold clothing of different categories (underwear, outerwear, and infant clothing), the partition assembly 400 prevents clothing of different categories from coming into contact with each other, thereby preventing bacterial contamination. When different drying zones 140 hold clothing of different colors, the partition assembly 400 prevents clothing of different colors from coming into contact with each other and causing color bleeding, thereby improving the user experience. By configuring the clothes drying rack 200 to be a structure in which multiple partition components 400 can rotate around the rotating shaft 300, and the clothes drying rack 200 and the barrel 100 are detachably connected, the user can remove the clothes drying rack 200 from the barrel 100 when the clothes drying rack 200 is not in use, and fold the clothes drying rack 200 by rotating the partition components 400, thereby reducing the storage space occupied by the clothes drying rack 200. The partition assembly 400 is set to a retractable structure, so that when the user installs the drying rack 200 into the barrel 100, the drying rack 200 can be unfolded first and the partition assembly 400 can be retracted to a shorter state, so that the user can quickly put the drying rack 200 into the barrel 100, and then slide the partition plate to extend the partition assembly 400 until it is connected to the inner wall of the barrel 100. There is no need to unfold the drying rack 200 inside the barrel 100. The operation is simple and convenient, which reduces the difficulty of installation between the drying rack 200 and the barrel 100. At the same time, the retractable partition assembly 400 allows the drying rack 200 to adapt to barrels 100 with different inner diameters, and has a wider range of applications.

[0037] In this embodiment, each partition assembly 400 can be provided with two or more partition plates, which can be arranged as needed. Preferably, in this embodiment, each partition assembly 400 is provided with two partition plates, namely a first partition plate 410 and a second partition plate 420. The first partition plate 410 includes a plate body 411 and a slide rail 430. The plate body 411 is connected to the rotating shaft 300. The slide rail 430 is provided on the plate body 411 and extends radially along the rotating shaft 300. The two sides of the second partition plate 420 are respectively slidably connected to the first partition plate 410 through the slide rail 430, so that the second partition plate 420 can slide relative to the first partition plate 410 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 300, and the partition assembly 400 can be shortened or lengthened by increasing or decreasing the overlapping area between the first partition plate 410 and the second partition plate 420. By arranging a slide rail 430 on the first partition plate 410, the first partition plate 410 can limit the moving direction of the second partition plate 420 through the slide rail 430, so that the second partition plate 420 can only slide along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 300, that is, the partition component 400 is extended or shortened along the radial direction of the cylinder 100, avoiding the second partition plate 420 from moving in other directions, and ensuring that the partition component 400 stably separates the two adjacent drying areas 140.

[0038] The slide rail 430 in this embodiment is provided with two or more stop grooves 431, and the second partition plate 420 is provided with an elastic stop member 440. The elastic stop member 440 can cooperate with different stop grooves 431 to limit the second partition plate 420, so as to facilitate user operation while allowing the second partition plate 420 to stay at different positions, thereby allowing the partition assembly 400 to be maintained at a set length, avoiding the second partition plate 420 from sliding freely relative to the first partition plate 410 during the drying process, thereby avoiding contact, entanglement or color bleeding of clothes in adjacent drying areas 140.

[0039] Preferably, the elastic stop member 440 includes a marble 441 and a spring 442. A mounting groove 421 is provided on the second partition plate 420. The marble 441 and the spring 442 are arranged in the mounting groove 421. The two ends of the spring 442 respectively abut against the marble 441 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 421 to push the marble 441 out of the mounting groove 421. When the second partition plate 420 slides until the marble 441 is aligned with any stop groove 431, the spring 442 pushes the marble 441. The first and second partition plates 410 and 420 are partially extended out of the mounting slot 421 and inserted into the stop slot 431, so as to limit the position between the first partition plate 410 and the second partition plate 420 through the marble 441, thereby preventing the first and second partition plates 410 and 420 from sliding relative to each other without the action of external force. When the user pushes or pulls the second partition plate 420, the marble 441 can be retracted into the mounting slot 421 under the push of the inner wall of the stop slot 431 and the end surface of the slide rail 430, which is convenient for the user to operate and saves more effort. It is understandable that the stop slot 431 in this embodiment can be a blind hole structure that does not penetrate the slide rail 430, or a through hole structure that penetrates the slide rail 430, as long as the diameter of the hole is smaller than that of the marble 441.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, a pull rod 500 is provided on the side surface of the first partition plate 410 near the two ends of the rotating shaft 300, and the two ends of the pull rod 500 are respectively connected to the two adjacent first partition plates 410 to pull the two adjacent first partition plates 410. A pull rod 500 is connected between any two adjacent partition plates to prevent the two adjacent first partition plates 410 from rotating in directions away from each other under the push of the clothes in the drying area 140, so that the space size of multiple drying areas 140 remains stable, and the partition assembly 400 is prevented from rotating freely and squeezing the clothes in the drying area 140 to affect the drying of the clothes. The pull rod 500 and the first partition plate 410 are detachably connected. When the drying rack 200 is not needed, one end or both ends of the pull rod 500 can be removed from the first partition plate 410 to prevent the pull rod 500 from affecting the folding of the drying rack 200, which is convenient for user operation and has a good user experience. Preferably, the pull rod 500 includes a first pulling section 510 and a second pulling section 520, one end of the first pulling section 510 is rotatably connected to one end of the second pulling section 520, and the other ends of the first pulling section 510 and the second pulling section 520 that are not connected to each other are rotatably connected to two adjacent first partition plates 410 respectively. By setting the pull rod 500 to a structure in which the first pulling section 510 and the second pulling section 520 are rotatably connected and cooperate with each other, only part of the pull rod 500 can be disassembled during the process of folding to store the pull rod 500, and the other part of the pull rod 500 can be folded along with the drying rack 200 through the relative rotation of the first pulling section 510 and the second pulling section 520, and then when unfolded for use, the number of pull rods 500 that the user needs to install is reduced, the user's operating difficulty is reduced, and the use is more convenient.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a convex rib 130 is provided on the inner wall of the barrel 100. The convex rib 130 can be one or more (two or more). The convex rib 130 extends along the axial direction of the barrel 100, and a connecting piece 450 is provided on the second partition plate 420 of the partition assembly 400 corresponding to the convex rib 130. The connecting piece 450 is provided with a card slot 451 facing the barrel 100. When the drying rack 200 is installed in the barrel 100, the connecting piece 450 cooperates with the convex rib 130 so that the convex rib 130 is carded in the card slot 451. At this time, the drying rack 200 and the barrel 100 can be linked in the circumferential direction, that is, when the barrel 100 rotates, the drying rack 200 can rotate together with the barrel 100, so that when the drying rack 200 rotates with the barrel 100, the clothes are flipped in the drying area 140, so that the clothes are more fully exposed to the hot air, thereby improving the drying efficiency. In this embodiment, the connection between the connecting member 450 and the second partition plate 420 is preferably detachable. When the connecting member 450 is damaged, the connecting member 450 can be removed and replaced separately, thereby reducing the cost of repair and replacement.

[0042] The drum 100 has a drying chamber 110 for accommodating the clothes drying rack 200 and an opening 120 for removing and placing clothes from the drying chamber 110. The inner diameter of the opening 120 is smaller than that of the drying chamber 110. When the partition assembly 400 abuts against the inner wall of the drum 100, the end of the partition assembly 400 axially abuts against the circumference of the opening 120 of the drum 100, thereby restraining the clothes drying rack 200 and preventing it from falling out of the opening 120 of the drum 100. This makes the installation of the clothes drying rack 200 in the drum 100 more stable and reliable.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, a groove is directly provided on the second partition plate of the partition assembly corresponding to the convex rib. When the clothes drying rack is installed in the cylinder, the convex rib is engaged in the groove. At this time, the clothes drying rack and the cylinder can be linked in the circumferential direction. The setting of the groove allows the second partition plate to directly cooperate with the convex rib, so that the cylinder and the clothes drying rack can rotate together without providing a structure connecting the convex rib on the partition plate, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the partition assembly, thereby reducing production costs and reducing assembly steps. In the process of the clothes drying rack rotating with the cylinder, the clothes are flipped in the drying area, so that the clothes are more fully in contact with the hot air, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
