[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable clothes dryer that is drip-proof.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows.

[0005] A portable clothes dryer includes a main unit and a hot air system installed inside the main unit. The hot air system has a hot air outlet on the top of the main unit and also includes a waterproof component installed on top of the hot air outlet. The top of the waterproof component has a horizontally arranged baffle plate that blocks the hot air outlet in the vertical projection direction. The side of the waterproof component has an air guide that communicates with the hot air outlet.

[0006] This invention features a waterproof component at the hot air outlet, preventing dripping water from directly entering the hot air system and thus minimizing damage to the system. The waterproof component's air guide design facilitates the efficient delivery of hot air from the outlet, ensuring the portable clothes dryer functions normally.

[0007] Furthermore, a fixed base is provided on the top of the main unit, and the hot air outlet is vertically arranged in the middle of the fixed base. A water receiving groove is recessed on the top surface of the fixed base, and the baffle plate is inclined to one side of the water receiving groove.

[0008] The drip tray catches dripping water from the waterproof components, preventing water from flowing into the main unit.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the waterproof component is provided with multiple water baffles, which are arranged in a stepped manner. The height between the water baffles gradually decreases from the distance from the water receiving trough to the distance from the water receiving trough. The ends of adjacent water baffles overlap in the vertical direction, and the air guide is left between them. The air guide is also provided between the water baffle furthest from the water receiving trough and the bottom of the waterproof component.

[0010] Multiple baffles guide the dripping water to flow into the water receiving tank in sequence. Multiple air guides are formed between the baffles. The air guides can blow the water on the baffles toward the water receiving tank to prevent water from entering the hot air outlet from the air guides. At the same time, the hot air blown out of the air guides can dry the water on the baffles.

[0011] Furthermore, the waterproof component is provided with a fixing screw hole, and the corresponding fixing seat is provided with a stud with a positioning screw hole. The fixing screw hole and the positioning screw hole are aligned and connected by screws to fix the waterproof component on the fixing seat.

[0012] The waterproof parts are easy to install and are not easily detached from the mounting base due to the force of hot air.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixing screw holes are set on the lowest water baffle plate on the waterproof component, and the bottom surface of the highest water baffle plate is provided with upper hooks arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The fixing base is provided with lower hooks arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The hook parts of the lower hooks and upper hooks are engaged and limited.

[0014] The waterproof components are securely installed and not easily detached.

[0016] The waterproof components are positioned using inserts and positioning slots, making installation convenient.

[0017] Furthermore, one end of the positioning groove extends into the water receiving groove, and the positioning groove is connected to the water receiving groove. Water flowing down the side of the waterproof component falls into the positioning groove and then flows into the water receiving groove.

[0018] The insert of the waterproof component can slide within the positioning groove, facilitating horizontal assembly of the lower and upper hooks. The positioning groove also guides water flow towards the water receiving tank.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the main unit is provided with two symmetrically arranged support legs. The first end of each support leg is rotatably connected to the main unit, and the first end is provided with a meshing synchronous gear, so that the two support legs rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The second end of each support leg is provided with a mounting groove on an adjacent side, and a magnet is provided in the mounting groove. When the second ends of the two support legs are closed, the two magnets attract each other, so that the second ends of the two support legs remain closed.

[0020] The two legs, when extended, stabilize the main unit. The storage structure of the two legs is simple, and the operation is easy.

[0021] Furthermore, the main unit is equipped with a telescopic rod that extends and retracts in a vertical direction. The end of the telescopic rod is equipped with a detachable suspension frame. The suspension frame includes an upper hanging frame and a lower hanging frame that are integrally formed. The upper hanging frame extends out with several first arms. The bottom surface of the first arms near the end is provided with an upper groove. The lower hanging frame extends out with second arms corresponding to the number of first arms. The top surface of the second arms near the end is provided with a lower groove. The upper hanging frame sits on the lower hanging frame. The first arms and the corresponding second arms are aligned. The upper groove and the lower groove close together to form a hanging hole for the clothes hanger to be hooked and suspended.

[0022] The upper and lower racks form a closed hanging hole, making it difficult for the clothes hanger hooks to fall off.

[0023] Furthermore, the lower bracket has a fixing ring at its center, which is used to fit onto the step at the top of the telescopic rod. The top of the fixing ring has an annular wall. The upper bracket has an elastic retaining ring at its center. One side of the elastic retaining ring has a notch corresponding to the position between the two first arms. The bottom of the elastic retaining ring has an annular groove, which fits onto the annular wall. The upper bracket is installed on the lower bracket.

[0024] The upper and lower mounting brackets have a simple installation structure and are easy to operate.

[0025] This invention features a waterproof component at the hot air outlet, preventing dripping water from directly entering the hot air system and thus minimizing damage to the system. The waterproof component's air guide design facilitates the expulsion of hot air from the outlet, allowing the portable clothes dryer to function normally. Multiple baffles sequentially guide the dripping water towards the water collection trough, forming multiple air guides between them. These guides direct water from the baffles towards the water collection trough, preventing water from entering the hot air outlet. Simultaneously, the hot air from the guides dries the water on the baffles. The waterproof component is securely and stably installed.

[0026] The two legs, when extended, stabilize the main unit. The storage structure of the two legs is simple, and the operation is easy. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] Example 1, see Figure 1-7 As shown, a portable clothes dryer includes a main unit 1, a hot air system 2 installed in the main unit 1, a waterproof component 4, support legs 5, a telescopic rod 6, and a hanging frame 7.

[0036] The hot air system 2 includes a fan 21 and an electric heating device 22. An air inlet is located on the side of the main unit 1 corresponding to the fan 21. A mounting base 3 is located on the top of the main unit 1, with a hot air outlet 30 vertically positioned in the center of the mounting base 3. The electric heating device 22 is located at the bottom of the hot air outlet 30, and the air outlet of the fan 21 is connected to the hot air outlet 30. The fan 21 draws in outside air and blows it towards the hot air outlet 30. The air is heated into hot air as it passes through the electric heating device 22, and the hot air is blown upwards from the hot air outlet 30 out of the top surface of the main unit 1.

[0037] The waterproof component 4 is installed on the mounting base 3 above the hot air outlet 30. The top of the waterproof component 4 is provided with a horizontally arranged baffle plate 41, which blocks the hot air outlet 30 in the vertical projection direction. The side of the waterproof component 4 is connected to the air guide port 40 of the hot air outlet 30. Preferably, the top surface of the mounting base 3 has a recessed water receiving groove 31 on the side of the hot air outlet 30, and the baffle plate 41 is inclined towards the water receiving groove 31.

[0038] In this embodiment, the waterproof component 4 has a "door" shaped cross-section. The fixing base 3 has positioning grooves 32 on both sides of the hot air outlet 30. The bottom of the waterproof component 4 has an insert block 42, which is inserted into the positioning groove 32. The waterproof component 4 covers the hot air outlet 30. One end of the positioning groove 32 extends towards the water receiving tank 31, and the positioning groove 32 is connected to the water receiving tank 31. Water flowing down the side of the waterproof component 4 falls into the positioning groove 32 and then flows into the water receiving tank 31. The top of the waterproof component 4 is provided with multiple water baffles 41, which are arranged in a stepped manner. The height of the water baffles 41 gradually decreases from the distance from the water receiving tank 31 to the distance from the water receiving tank 31. The ends of adjacent water baffles 41 overlap in the vertical direction, and there is a guide air vent 40 between them. There is also a guide air vent 40 between the water baffle 41 farthest from the water receiving tank 31 and the bottom of the waterproof component 4. The waterproof component 4 is provided with a fixing screw hole 43, and the corresponding fixing seat 3 is provided with a stud 33 with a positioning screw hole 34. The fixing screw hole 43 is located on the water baffle 41, which is the lowest point on the waterproof component 4. The bottom surface of the water baffle 41, which is the highest point, is provided with upper hooks 44 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The fixing seat 3 is provided with lower hooks 35 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The hooks of the lower hooks 35 and the upper hooks 44 are engaged and limited.

[0039] During installation, the insert 42 of the waterproof component 4 is inserted into the positioning groove 32 near the end of the water receiving groove 31. The entire waterproof component 4 slides within the positioning groove 32 away from the water receiving groove 31, causing the lower hook 35 and the upper hook 44 to align horizontally, thereby restricting the upward, downward, and backward displacement of the waterproof component 4 and the fixing base 3. When the fixing screw hole 43 and the positioning screw hole 34 are aligned, they are connected and fixed with screws (not shown in the figure) to fix the waterproof component 4 onto the fixing base 3, thus restricting the lateral displacement of the waterproof component 4 and the fixing base 3.

[0040] Water dripping onto the baffle plate 41 will preferentially flow towards the water receiving trough 31. The hot air blown out of the air vent 40 will also push the water on the baffle plate 41 towards the water receiving trough 31. At the same time, the hot air will also dry the water on the baffle plate 41. Some water on the baffle plate 41 flows to the front and rear sides, flows into the positioning groove 32 through the side of the waterproof component 4, and then is guided into the water receiving trough 31. After the portable clothes dryer is used, the main unit 1 is inverted to pour the water in the water receiving trough 31 out to the outside.

[0041] The main unit 1 has two symmetrically arranged support legs 5 at its bottom. The first end 51 of each support leg 5 is rotatably connected to the main unit 1, and the first end 51 is equipped with a meshing synchronous gear 53, which allows the two support legs 5 to rotate synchronously horizontally in opposite directions. The second end 52 of each support leg 5 has a mounting groove 54 on its adjacent side, and a magnet 55 is installed in the mounting groove 54. When the second end 52 of the two support legs 5 is closed, the two magnets 55 attract each other, keeping the second end 52 of the two support legs 5 in a closed state. Before the portable clothes dryer starts drying, the user manually overcomes the attraction of the magnets 55 to separate the two support legs 5 into a V-shape. The two support legs 5 support the main unit 1, preventing the main unit 1 from tipping over due to instability caused by the extension rod 6.

[0042] The main unit 1 is equipped with a telescopic rod 6 that extends and retracts vertically, and a detachable suspension frame 7 is provided at the end of the telescopic rod 6. The suspension frame 7 includes an upper frame 8 and a lower frame 9 that are integrally formed. The upper frame 8 has an elastic retaining ring 80 at its center, and the bottom of the elastic retaining ring 80 has an annular groove 81. Several first arms 82 extend from the elastic retaining ring 80 of the upper frame 8. The bottom surface of the first arm 82 near its end has an upper groove 83. A notch 84 is provided on one side of the elastic retaining ring 80 corresponding to the position between two first arms 82, and a reinforcing rib 85 is provided on the other side of the elastic retaining ring 80 corresponding to the position between two first arms 82. The lower hanging bracket 9 has a fixing ring 90 at its center, which is used to fit onto the step at the top of the telescopic rod 6. The top of the fixing ring 90 has an annular wall 91. The fixing ring 90 of the lower hanging bracket 9 extends into a second arm 92 corresponding to the number of the first arm 82. The top surface of the second arm 92 near its end has a lower groove 93. The upper hanging bracket 8 sits on the lower hanging bracket 9, and the annular groove 81 is fitted onto the annular wall 91. The first arm 82 and the corresponding second arm 92 are aligned. The upper groove 83 and the lower groove 93 close together to form a hanging hole 70 for the clothes hanger hook, that is, the upper hanging bracket 8 is installed on the lower hanging bracket 9. The telescopic rod 6 is prior art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
