Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air duct technology, specifically relating to an air duct structure with drying function. Background Technology

[0002] When a washing machine with a drying function is working, it typically generates heat through an internal heating element and blows hot air into the machine through a fan. The clothes gradually lose moisture under the action of the hot air, thus achieving the purpose of drying. At the same time, sensors inside the washing machine monitor the humidity and temperature of the clothes in real time to ensure the smooth progress of the drying process. In the drying function of a washing machine, the design of the air duct structure is crucial to the drying efficiency.

[0003] Traditional washing machine air duct structures often use fixed air duct designs, resulting in a single airflow path and insufficient airflow contact with the heating wire, leading to low drying efficiency. Therefore, an air duct structure with drying function is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully drying air duct structure with a drying function in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A duct structure with drying function includes a lower housing and an upper housing disposed on the lower housing, a heating wire is disposed between the lower housing and the upper housing, a fan is disposed on the upper housing, and further includes:

[0007] Slots, wherein the slots are disposed within the lower housing, and there are multiple slots;

[0008] Air guide plates are set in slots, and multiple air guide plates form an air duct.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the heating wire is configured with an S-shaped structure, the slots are arranged in an alternating array, the slots are provided with multiple limiting holes, and the slots are located below the gaps between the heating wires.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the air guide plate is provided with multiple protrusions, the air guide plate is movably connected to the slot, the protrusions can be embedded in the limiting hole, and sound-absorbing cotton is provided on both sides of the air guide plate.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, both the lower shell and the upper shell are provided with multiple connecting ears, and the connecting ears on the lower shell correspond one-to-one with the connecting ears on the upper shell. The lower shell and the upper shell are connected through the connecting ears.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, an air inlet is provided on the lower housing, the air inlet is located below the fan, and an air outlet is provided at one end of the lower housing.

[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, an installation plate is provided on the heating wire, a lower limiting hole is provided on the lower housing, and an upper limiting hole is provided on the upper housing. The lower limiting hole and the upper limiting hole are oriented in opposite directions, and the installation plate can be embedded in the lower limiting hole and the upper limiting hole.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] Unlike existing technologies, in actual use, by adopting an S-shaped heating wire and an interlaced array of slots, and connecting air guide plates to the slots, the air is fully heated and evenly distributed, which significantly improves drying efficiency. At the same time, the detachable air guide plates facilitate the cleaning of the air duct later, and the sound-absorbing cotton not only allows the airflow direction to be adjusted as needed, but also effectively reduces the noise of the equipment during operation.

It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, an air duct structure with drying function includes a lower housing 1 and an upper housing 2 disposed on the lower housing 1. A heating wire 5 is disposed between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2. A fan 3 is disposed on the upper housing 2. The structure also includes:

[0024] Slot 7 is located inside the lower housing 1, and there are multiple slots 7;

[0025] Air guide plate 6 is set in slot 7, and multiple air guide plates 6 form an air duct.

[0026] The heating wire 5 is set in an S-shaped structure, and the slots 7 are arranged in an alternating array. Multiple limiting holes 71 are opened on the slots 7. The slots 7 are located below the gaps of the heating wire 5. The alternating array of the slots 7 makes the slots 7 distributed in an S-shape.

[0027] Multiple protrusions 61 are provided on the air guide plate 6. The air guide plate 6 is movably connected to the slot 7. The protrusions 61 can be embedded in the limiting hole 71. Sound-absorbing cotton 8 is provided on both sides of the air guide plate 6. The air guide plate 6 is fixed by the protrusions 61 and the limiting hole 71. At the same time, the air guide plate 6 forms an air duct through the trajectory of multiple slots 7, so that the airflow can fully contact the heating wire 5.

[0028] Both the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2 are provided with multiple connecting ears 4, and the connecting ears 4 on the lower housing 1 correspond one-to-one with the connecting ears 4 on the upper housing 2. The lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2 are connected by the connecting ears 4, and the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2 are connected by the connecting ears 4 to form an integral structure.

[0029] An air inlet 12 is provided on the lower housing 1, which is located below the fan 3. An air outlet 13 is provided at one end of the lower housing 1.

[0030] A mounting plate 51 is provided on the heating wire 5. A lower limiting hole 11 is provided on the lower housing 1, and an upper limiting hole 21 is provided on the upper housing 2. The lower limiting hole 11 and the upper limiting hole 21 are aligned, and the mounting plate 51 can be embedded in the lower limiting hole 11 and the upper limiting hole 21.

[0031] It should be noted that the working principle of the air duct structure with drying function is as follows: First, the fan 3 is installed on the upper housing 2. The lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2 are connected by connecting ears 4 to form an integral structure. The lower housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 12 located below the fan 3, and an air outlet 13 is opened at one end. The heating wire 5 has an S-shaped structure and is installed between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2 through the mounting plate 51, which cooperates with the lower limiting hole 11 of the lower housing 1 and the upper limiting hole 21 of the upper housing 2. The slots 7 are arranged in an alternating array below the gaps of the heating wires 5 and are provided with multiple limiting holes 71. The protrusions 61 on the air guide plate 6 can be embedded in the limiting holes 71 of the slots 7 to achieve a movable connection. Multiple air guide plates 6 are in the slots 7. An air duct is formed, and the noise generated by the airflow collides within the duct. The noise is reduced by the sound-absorbing cotton 8 on both sides of the air guide plate 6. During operation, the fan 3 starts, and air enters from the air inlet 12. After being heated by the heating wire 5, the hot air flows along the air duct formed by the air guide plate 6 under the action of the fan 3, and finally blows out from the air outlet 13 for drying clothes, etc. In this process, the S-shaped heating wire 5 can heat the air more fully. The staggered array of slots 7 and the air guide plate 6 helps to control the flow and distribution of hot air, so that the airflow can fully contact the heating wire 5, thereby improving the drying efficiency and effect. The detachable design of the air guide plate 6 makes it convenient to clean the air duct later.

[0032] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
