[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are only descriptive, exemplary, and should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of the present application is used, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as indicating or implying that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. The "first", "second" are only for the convenience of understanding the description, and have no other directional meaning, and cannot be regarded as a limitation of the present application.

[0043] As Figures 1 to 6 shown is a foldable clothes drying cover 100 for a clothes drying machine provided by the present embodiment, comprising a connecting bracket 10 and a cover body 20 arranged on the lower side of the connecting bracket 10. When the foldable clothes drying cover is applied in a clothes drying machine, the connecting bracket 10 is used to connect the drying rod or the main housing of the clothes drying machine, and the cover body 20 is used to accommodate the clothes to be dried and disinfected.

[0044] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the cover body 20 comprises a circumferential side 21 and a bottom 22 to form an accommodating space 23 in the cover body 20, and the clothes to be dried and disinfected are accommodated in the accommodating space 23. The upper end of the circumferential side 21 is connected to the connecting bracket 10. Thus, when the foldable clothes drying cover is hung on the drying rod or the main housing of the clothes drying machine as Figure 7 shown, the cover body 20 will sag due to its own weight.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting bracket 10 is provided with a first opening 11, which is connected to the accommodating space 23. When the foldable clothes drying cover is hung on the main body shell of the clothes drying machine, the first opening 11 is aligned with the drying and disinfection outlet on the main body shell, so that the clothes in the accommodating space 23 can be dried and disinfected in a centralized and enclosed manner.

[0046] like Figure 1 Combination Figures 4 to 6 As shown, an annular barrier 12 is provided on the upper side of the connecting bracket 10 around the first opening 11, and a cover plate 13 matching the first opening 11 is hinged to the lower side of the connecting bracket 10. When the cover plate 13 closes the first opening 11, it forms a storage space 14 with the annular barrier 12.

[0047] The periphery 21 of the cover 20 is made of a flexible, foldable material. For example... Figure 1 As shown, when the cover 20 is unfolded for use, the cover plate 13 is in the open state. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, when the perimeter 21 is folded, the cover 20 can be folded up from the bottom 22 and housed in the storage space 14. The cover 13 is closed to seal the first opening 11, and the folded cover 20 is kept and stored in the storage space 14.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, several clothes racks g are provided on the inner side of the accommodating space 23. When in use, clothes are hung on the clothes racks g. The drying warm air and disinfection lamp enter the accommodating space 23 from top to bottom through the first opening 11 and circulate inside it, fully contacting the hanging clothes. This not only improves the efficiency of drying and disinfection, but also makes the clothes flat, smooth and wrinkle-free after processing.

[0049] As can be seen, the foldable clothes drying cover 100 provided by this utility model, which can be used on a clothes drying rack, is designed to be flexible and foldable by setting an annular enclosure 12 on the upper side of the connecting bracket and a hinged cover plate 13 on the lower side. Thus, the cover 20 can be folded as a whole and stored in the storage space 14 formed by the annular enclosure 12 and the cover plate 13, realizing the folding and storage of the clothes drying cover. This not only facilitates the storage of the clothes drying cover, but also frees up space for the clothes drying rack to dry more clothes.

[0050] Furthermore, by using the hanging rod g inside the accommodating space 23, clothes can be hung on the hanging rod g for suspended drying and disinfection. This facilitates the formation of convection between the clothes by the drying warm airflow, ensuring that each piece of clothing is thoroughly dried. It also allows the disinfection lamp to fully cover every corner of the clothes, improving the efficiency of drying and disinfection. Moreover, the clothes are flat, drapey, and wrinkle-free after processing.

[0051] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a use scenario of the folding clothes drying cover 100 for clothes drying machine provided by the present embodiment, Figure 7 Fig. 3 shows a scenario of the folding clothes drying cover 100 docking with the drying and sterilizing interface of the main machine of the clothes drying machine and being used at the first length, Figure 8 Fig. 4 shows a scenario of the folding clothes drying cover 100 being folded and stored under the main machine shell of the clothes drying machine.

[0052] It should be noted that the embodiments provided by the present embodiment for use with the same clothes drying machine cannot be considered as a limitation of the present utility model, but only as an embodiment for fully embodying the structure, working principle, and functional effect of the folding clothes drying cover 100 for clothes drying machine provided by the present utility model.

[0053] Preferably, in the present embodiment, the bottom 22 is made of a material that is relatively harder than the peripheral side 21, so as to maintain the shape of the cover 20 during use, and facilitate the folding and storage of the peripheral side 21 from bottom to top.

[0054] As Figure 2 shown, the peripheral side 21 of the cover 20 is provided with a second opening 24, and the second opening 24 is in communication with the accommodation space 23. The second opening 24 is provided with a side-opening curtain 25, and a first zipper structure z1 is arranged between the side-opening curtain 25 and the second opening 24, so as to close and open the second opening 24.

[0055] In specific implementation, a C-shaped frame can be cut out on one side of the peripheral side 21 to form the side-opening curtain 25 and the second opening 24, and the first zipper structure z1 is arranged at the connection between the two.

[0056] The cover 20 is vertically divided into at least two layers of sub-cover layers, and a connecting structure is arranged between adjacent sub-cover layers. When any sub-cover layer is folded, the connecting structure maintains the sub-cover layer in a folded state, so as to change the length of the cover.

[0057] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in a preferred embodiment provided by the present embodiment, the cover 20 is vertically divided into two layers of sub-cover layers, including an upper sub-cover layer 20a and a lower sub-cover layer 20b. The lower part of the upper sub-cover layer 20a and the lower part of the lower sub-cover layer 20b are provided with a second zipper structure z2 that matches each other. When the lower sub-cover layer 20b is unfolded, the cover 20 is at a longer first length. When the lower sub-cover layer 20b is folded, the second zipper structure z2 is pulled together, so as to maintain the lower sub-cover layer 20b in a folded state, and change the cover 20 to a shorter second length.

[0058] In other embodiments, the cover 20 can be divided into two or more sub-cover layers in the vertical direction. In addition, the connecting structure can be a hook connecting structure, a male-female buckle structure, or other simple connecting structure that is convenient for users to operate, in addition to the second zipper structure z2.

[0059] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the inner side of the accommodation space 23 is parallelly distributed with a plurality of clothes hangers g near the first opening 11. Specifically, the inner wall of the peripheral side 21 is symmetrically provided with a plurality of pairs of fixed hanging grooves g1 near the first opening 11, and the two ends of each clothes hanger g are hooked in a pair of symmetrically fixed hanging grooves g1. The fixed hanging grooves g1 are made of flexible material and are sewn and fixed on the inner wall of the peripheral side 21. Thus, the clothes to be dried and disinfected can be hung at a position close to the first opening 11, i.e., the entrance of the drying warm air flow and the disinfection lamp of the clothes dryer.

[0060] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , the inner side of the accommodation space 23 is parallelly distributed with a plurality of clothes hangers g near the top of the lower cover layer 20b. The inner wall of the lower cover layer 20b is symmetrically provided with a plurality of pairs of flexible fixed hanging grooves g1 near the top, and the two ends of each clothes hanger g are hooked in a pair of symmetrically fixed hanging grooves g1. Thus, when the cover 20 is in the longer first length, both the upper cover layer 20a and the lower cover layer 20b can hang clothes, so that more clothes can be dried and disinfected at one time.

[0061] In addition, the fixed hanging grooves g1 are made of flexible material, which does not affect the folding of the cover 20, and the clothes hangers g can be conveniently crossed or removed for folding and storing the cover 20.

[0062] Further, as shown in Figures 1 to 6 , the inner side of the ring-shaped enclosure 12 is crossed with a main clothes hanger g2 near the top. In addition to hanging clothes, the main clothes hanger g2 further serves to support the ring-shaped enclosure 12, reducing the deformation of the ring-shaped enclosure 12 after years of use.

[0063] As shown in Figure 5 , one side of the cover plate 13 is hinged to the rear side of the first opening 11, and the other side of the cover plate 13 is provided with a fixed structure d between the front side of the first opening 11. In this embodiment, the fixed structure d is a magnetic fixing structure that is directly attracted after closing, which is convenient to operate. In other embodiments, the fixed structure can also be a buckle fixing structure or a hook fixing structure.

[0064] It should be noted that like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the several views of the drawings, and that once an element is defined in one drawing that it can not be further defined and explained in a following drawing.

[0065] The above describes the folding clothes drying cover for clothes drying machine provided by the utility model, the principle and implementation mode of the utility model are described by applying specific examples in this paper, and the above embodiment description is only for helping to understand the utility model and core idea. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, the utility model can be improved and modified in several ways without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the utility model claim.
