[0036] 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 the description is merely illustrative, exemplary, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.
[0037] It should be noted that similar reference numerals represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it will not be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.
[0038] The clothes drying machine antenna layout structure 100 with a metal lamp plate in the present application not only integrates the convenience of modern smart home, but also ingeniously solves the problems of signal shielding and heat dissipation. Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the clothes drying machine is sequentially distributed with a metal bottom plate 10, a metal lamp plate 20 and a lampshade 30 from top to bottom, wherein the control box 40 installed on the metal bottom plate 10 is embedded with a PCB circuit board, and the antenna 42 is connected to the circuit board. Based on this technical means, the clothes drying machine not only can realize the basic lifting function, but also can realize remote control and intelligent interconnection through the wireless signal receiving module, meeting the needs of modern families for smart home.
[0039] Further, the metal lamp plate 20 of the clothes drying machine is specially designed with an opening 21, and the non-metallic guide plate 50 installed on the opening is composed of a bottom edge 51 and a fixed plate 52, wherein the vertical distance of the fixed plate 52 beyond the metal lamp plate 20 is greater than 8mm, effectively avoiding the problem of signal shielding. This design not only improves the stability and reliability of the signal, but also enhances the receiving and transmission capacity of the signal through the structural optimization of the non-metallic guide plate, so that the clothes drying machine can also maintain good networking performance under the condition of a metal body.
[0040] It should be further pointed out that, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 , a non-metallic guide plate 50 is installed on the opening 21. This material selection is to ensure that the wireless signal can be transmitted smoothly without obstruction, avoiding the shielding effect that may be caused by metal materials.
[0041] The structure of the non-metallic guide plate 50 is composed of two main parts: the bottom edge 51 that perfectly fits the opening 21 and the fixed plate 52 that protrudes downward. The design of the bottom edge 51 not only ensures a tight fit between the guide plate and the metal lamp plate, but also encloses an entry port 53, which is a channel for the antenna 42 to pass through, designed to ensure smooth arrangement of the antenna and minimal loss of signals.
[0042] The design of the fixed plate 52 is more critical, as it not only provides stability to the non-metallic guide plate 50, but also has a vertical distance from the metal lamp 10 that is greater than 8mm. This ingenious design ensures that the antenna 42 maintains a sufficient distance from the metal lamp plate, effectively avoiding the shielding effect of the metal lamp plate on wireless signals. This structure not only improves the transmission efficiency of signals, but also ensures that the clothes dryer maintains good communication performance in various use environments.
[0043] In summary, the technical means based on the non-metallic guide plate 50 is an innovation in the antenna layout structure of the clothes dryer, which not only solves the problem of signal shielding, but also improves the durability and user experience of the product.
[0044] The edge of the non-metallic guide plate 50 is clamped on the edge of the opening 21 of the metal lamp plate 20, and the first side s1 of the non-metallic guide plate 50 is provided with a clamping groove t that cooperates with the edge of the metal lamp plate 20. Further, the design of the non-metallic guide plate 50 further optimizes the transmission efficiency of signals and the stability of the structure. At the entry port 53, the non-metallic guide plate 50 is annularly distributed with an annular rib r, which enhances the structural strength of the guide plate and provides additional support points to adapt to different installation conditions and environments.
[0045] As shown in Figures 5 to 7 , the first side s1 of the non-metallic guide plate 50 extends outward at the annular rib r to form a positioning buckle r1, and the positioning buckle r1 extends outward horizontally for a distance. Moreover, the positioning buckle r1 and the bottom edge 51 form a height difference, so that they are staggered vertically, and the bottom edge 51 where the positioning buckle r1 is located is avoided, thereby forming a corresponding clamping groove t between them. This allows the metal lamp plate 20 to be stably clamped in the clamping groove t.
[0046] It should be noted that the positioning buckle r1 extending outward at the annular rib r of the first side s1 is a key mechanical locking mechanism. This positioning buckle r1 not only extends outward horizontally for a distance, but also forms a necessary height difference with the bottom edge 51, achieving a staggered vertical design. This staggered design allows the positioning buckle r1 and the bottom edge 51 to form a clamping groove t, which allows the metal lamp plate 20 to be stably clamped in the clamping groove t, greatly enhancing the stability of the overall structure and the reliability of the connection.
[0047] Moreover, due to the good chemical stability and mechanical properties of the non-metallic guide plate 50, this misaligned clamping design can improve the strength and hardness of the structure without adding too much material, while maintaining the lightness of the structure. Such a design not only ensures the optimization of the signal transmission path, avoids signal shielding, but also enhances the structural stability and convenience of the non-metallic guide plate.
[0048] Preferably, the second side s2 of the non-metallic guide plate 50 is connected to the metal lamp plate 20 by screws, which provides a simple and effective fixing method, ensuring stable connection between the guide plate and the lamp plate. The bottom edge 51 is connected to the fixed plate 52 by the inclined peripheral wall 54, which not only increases the stability of the connection, but also may help to disperse the stress, reduce stress concentration and improve the durability of the overall structure.
[0049] The recess h in the design of the non-metallic guide plate 50 has a recess h bottom wall that fixes the antenna 42, ensuring that the antenna is stable in the structure and less susceptible to external interference. In addition, the design of the recess h also takes into account the optimization of the heat dissipation performance, effectively promoting the dissipation of heat by increasing the surface area and possible airflow channels, thereby maintaining temperature control of the antenna 42 during operation and improving the stability and reliability of the entire system.
[0050] The non-metallic guide plate 50 as an injection molded part, i.e. a plastic guide plate, has a significant advantage in avoiding signal shielding, and the plastic material is lighter in weight, reducing the weight of the equipment and improving the flexibility of installation.
[0051] The antenna 42 drawn from the PCB circuit board passes through the specially designed entrance 53 after a carefully designed path, and is precisely bent after passing through, and is finally laid flat on the inner surface of the fixed plate 52. Such a layout not only ensures the transmission efficiency of the antenna 42, but also avoids interference from external factors on the signal, while maintaining the overall structure neat.
[0052] The inner side of the fixed plate 52 is equipped with a plurality of linearly distributed wire clamping parts v, which are arranged at uniform intervals, and their function is to clamp the incoming antenna 42 at intervals, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the position of the antenna on the fixed plate 52. This design of interval clamping not only provides sufficient fixing force to maintain the stability of the antenna 42, but also allows the antenna to be fine-tuned when needed to optimize signal reception and transmission.
[0053] This technical means also helps to improve the installation efficiency, because the wire clamping parts v provide clear installation points, making the installation process of the antenna 42 faster and more accurate.
[0054] The metal lamp plate 20 is carefully arranged with a plurality of LED lamp strips f, which not only provide uniform and efficient illumination, but also ensure long-term stable operation and high efficiency output of the LED lamp strips through the excellent heat dissipation performance of the metal lamp plate.
