Detailed Implementation

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0030] This utility model relates to a drying device, including a base 100, a clamp 200 and a fan unit 400.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 100 serves as the overall support component of the drying device. The base 100 can be a box-shaped structure, a frame structure, etc. Clamping members 200 are mounted on the base 100, and are installed around the perimeter of the base 100. In this embodiment, the clamping members 200 are installed at the bottom of the base 100. The clamping members 200 are used to hold the end of the tubular towel 300. The tubular towel 300 is formed by rolling up a towel fabric to form a tubular structure. The circumferential side joints of the towel fabric can be sewn or left unsewn, and at least one end of the tubular towel 300 is open. Figure 7As shown in the diagram, the upper end of the tubular towel 300 is open, and the lower end can be either open or sewn closed. In the following embodiments, the tubular towel 300 is only open at the upper end and closed at the lower end, with the circumferential sides sewn into a closed loop. The fan unit 400 is mounted on the base 100, and the clamp 200 is arranged around the fan unit 400. Figure 4 As shown, after the clamp 200 holds the tubular towel 300, the tubular towel 300 hangs down naturally according to its own weight. At this time, the tubular towel 300 covers the fan unit 400 from bottom to top.

[0032] After washing their hands, users can directly wipe them on the tubular towel 300. After drying, the fan unit 400 is activated, blowing air from top to bottom towards the inside of the tubular towel 300. The tubular towel 300 inflates into a cylindrical shape under the airflow. The airflow quickly dries the tubular towel 300 from the inside out, carrying away moisture to the sides and bottom, thus keeping the towel dry and preventing bacterial growth.

[0033] The clamp 200 can be a spring clamp or similar device. For example, multiple spring clamps are installed on the bottom surface of the base 100, and these clamps work together to hold the upper periphery of the tubular towel 300. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the clamp 200 includes a first clamping seat 210 and a second clamping seat 220. A circular clamping opening 230 is formed between the first clamping seat 210 and the second clamping seat 220, and the clamping opening 230 surrounds the fan unit 400. The circular clamping opening 230 clamps the upper periphery of the cylindrical towel 300. After clamping, airflow is blown into the cylindrical towel 300 from top to bottom, ensuring sufficient air pressure for the cylindrical towel 300.

[0034] Based on the above embodiments, the first clamp 210 includes a first cylindrical portion 211 and a first extension 212, the first cylindrical portion 211 being cylindrical. The first cylindrical portion 211 is placed vertically, and the first extension 212 extends radially outward from the upper edge of the first cylindrical portion 211. The second clamp 220 includes a second cylindrical portion 221 and a second extension 222, the second cylindrical portion 221 being placed vertically, and the second extension 222 extending radially outward from the upper edge of the second cylindrical portion 221. The second cylindrical portion 221 is disposed around the outer wall of the first cylindrical portion 211, and a first gap 231 is formed between the second cylindrical portion 221 and the first cylindrical portion 211, the first gap 231 extending vertically. The first extension 212 and the second extension 222 are distributed vertically, and a second gap 232 is formed between the first extension 212 and the second extension 222, the second gap 232 extending horizontally. The first gap 231 and the second gap 232 are connected, forming a clamp 230. In use, the tubular towel 300 passes through the second tubular portion 221, and the first tubular portion 211 is inserted from top to bottom into the upper end of the tubular towel 300. The upper end edge of the tubular towel 300 is then clamped between the first extension 212 and the second extension 222. A portion of the tubular towel 300 is clamped between the first tubular portion 211 and the second tubular portion 221. The first tubular portion 211 surrounds the fan unit 400. The first extension 212 and the second extension 222 tighten the upper end of the tubular towel 300, allowing the tubular towel 300 to be suspended on the base 100. The upper part of the tubular towel 300 is radially supported by the first cylindrical part 211 and the second cylindrical part 221, so that the upper end of the tubular towel 300 is kept in an open state, ensuring that the fan unit 400 can deliver air normally from the upper end of the tubular towel 300.

[0035] The first clamp 210 and the second clamp 220 are detachably connected to each other by means of screws, clips, or other means. Alternatively, the first clamp 210 and the second clamp 220 are detachably mounted on the base 100 by means of screws, clips, or other means. In one embodiment, the second extension 222 extends upward to form a connecting portion 223. The shape of the connecting portion 223 is not limited; it can extend vertically upward from the second extension 222 and then horizontally outward. The connecting portion 223 is provided with a plurality of locking heads 224, and a plurality of insertion holes 110 are provided on the bottom of the base 100. The locking heads 224 and the insertion holes 110 are paired one by one, and the locking heads 224 are inserted from bottom to top and locked into each insertion hole 110, thereby fixing the second clamp 220 to the bottom of the base 100. The first extension edge 212 can be supported by the second extension edge 222 and the edge of the tubular towel 300 to abut against the bottom of the base 100, or the first extension edge 212 can be locked to the bottom of the base 100 with screws. The second clamp 220 can be quickly loaded and unloaded relative to the base 100 to facilitate quick loading and unloading of the tubular towel 300.

[0036] Furthermore, an anti-slip ring 500 is installed in the second gap 232. The anti-slip ring 500 is circular and surrounds the first cylindrical portion 211. The anti-slip ring 500 is provided with several spikes 510. The anti-slip ring 500 can be fixed to the first extension 212 or the second extension 222 by means of adhesive, screws, etc. When the anti-slip ring 500 is fixed to the first extension 212, the spikes 510 face the second extension 222. When the anti-slip ring 500 is fixed to the second extension 222, the spikes 510 face the first extension 212. After the clamp 230 clamps the tubular towel 300, the spikes 510 penetrate into the tubular towel 300, making the tubular towel 300 more stably clamped by the clamp 230.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fan unit 400 includes a mounting base 410, a fan 420, and a heating element 430. The fan 420 and the heating element 430 are mounted on the mounting base 410. The mounting base 410 can be connected to the base 100 by means of snap-fit, screw locking, etc. The heating element 430 can be an electric heating plate, an electric heating wire, etc. The airflow generated by the rotation of the fan 420 carries away the heat on the heating element 430 to form hot air, which heats and dries the cylindrical towel 300.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, the mounting base 410 can be cylindrical, and the interior of the mounting base 410 defines a first air cavity 411 and a second air cavity 412 that are interconnected. The first air cavity 411 is located outside the second air cavity 412 and is arranged around the second air cavity 412. Multiple air guide grooves 413 are formed on the side wall of the first air cavity 411. Each air guide groove 413 is distributed sequentially along the circumference of the first air cavity 411. The upper end of the first air cavity 411 can be a closed structure, or it can be connected to the bottom of the base 100, with the bottom surface of the base 100 sealing the upper end of the first air cavity 411. The fan 420 and the heating element 430 are installed in the second air cavity 412. Multiple air outlets 414 are formed at the bottom of the second air cavity 412. When the fan 420 is started, it draws air from the first air cavity 411 into the second air cavity 412. In use, the tubular towel 300 is fixed to the clamp 200 and wraps around the mounting base 410. Air from the tubular towel 300 enters the first air chamber 411 through the air guide 413, and is then drawn into the second air chamber 412 by the fan 420. Finally, it is blown downwards from the air outlet 414 back into the tubular towel 300. Because the tubular towel 300 is breathable, air from outside the tubular towel 300 can enter and air from inside the tubular towel 300 can also escape. Part of the airflow is circulated through the fan unit 400, which can improve the utilization rate of heat energy in the hot air.

[0039] Furthermore, a humidity sensing module 600 is included. The humidity sensing module 600 is located on the communication path between the first air cavity 411 and the second air cavity 412. The humidity sensing module 600 can be fixed to the bottom surface of the base 100, and the upper port opening of the first air cavity 411 is fixed to the bottom surface of the base 100. When the airflow circulates between the cylindrical towel 300 and the fan unit 400, the humidity sensing module 600 detects the humidity of the airflow to determine the approximate current humidity of the cylindrical towel 300. The fan unit 400 and the humidity sensing module 600 can be connected to the same electronic control board, which is installed in the base 100. The electronic control board controls the start and stop of the fan unit 400 based on the humidity signal detected by the humidity sensing module 600.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 700. The ultraviolet disinfection lamp 700 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the mounting base 410. While the fan unit 400 is blowing air onto the cylindrical towel 300, or after the fan unit 400 has dried the cylindrical towel 300 and stopped, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 700 is used to irradiate and disinfect the cylindrical towel 300 with ultraviolet light.

[0041] In one embodiment, a sensor switch module 800 is also included. The sensor switch module 800 is mounted on the base 100. The sensor switch module 800 may be located at the bottom of the base 100. The sensor switch module 800 may be an infrared detector, a light sensor, etc. When a user uses the tubular towel 300 to dry their hands, the sensor switch module 800 detects the user's waving motion or the movement of the tubular towel 300, and then controls the fan unit 400 and other electrical components to dry and disinfect the tubular towel 300.
