[0059] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Similarly, terms such as "first" and "second" are only for the purpose of facilitating understanding and have no other directional meaning, and should not be regarded as limitations on this utility model.

[0061] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a foldable clothes drying device with bottom drying, including a support 100, a base 2 with a heating module 500 in the middle, a foldable and unfoldable support assembly 300, and a clothes rack 400. The base 2 is rotatably connected to the support 100 so as to be able to switch and position at least between a vertical state and a horizontal state. The support assembly 300 is located between the base 2 and the clothes rack 400 and is used to support and control the height of the clothes rack 400.

[0062] like Figure 4-5The first state of the clothes drying device is shown, namely the unfolded drying state. The base 2 is flipped upwards to be in a horizontal state so that the heating module 500 blows air upwards. At the same time, the support component 300 is unfolded and fixed to support the clothes rack 400 above the base 2.

[0063] like Figure 1 The image shows the first usage state under the second state. The base 2 is flipped upwards and is in a horizontal state. However, at this time, the support component 300 is folded, and the support component 300 and the clothes rack 400 are both folded up and close to the base 2 to form a heating device. The heating module 500 blows air upwards.

[0064] like Figure 2 The second state shown is the second usage state in the second state. In this state, the support component 300 is folded, and the support component 300 and the clothes rack 400 are folded together and pressed against the base 2 to form an integral part. The base rotates so that the entire integral part is in a vertical state to form a side-venting heating device.

[0065] The device can be used as a clothes drying rack or directly transformed into a heating module 500. In heating mode, it has a multi-directional air outlet function, which enables flexible function conversion. It can also save a lot of space when stored, demonstrating the practicality and convenience of its design.

[0066] In this embodiment, the clothes rack 400 is unfolded and placed above the horizontally positioned heating module 500. The heating module 500 blows air upwards, minimizing interference with the clothes rack 400. It provides ample drying space during use, and the airflow direction is consistent with the hanging direction of the clothes, resulting in better drying performance.

[0067] As shown in the figure, the device also includes two sets of support bases 110 and support rods 120. The lower end of the support rod 120 is firmly fixed to the support base 110, and both ends of the base 2 are connected to the upper end of the support rod 120 via shaft connections. At the shaft connection, a damping ring 6 and a rotating shaft are specially designed. The base has a controlled rotation function, capable of precisely rotating to a 90-degree angle. The damping ring 6 is designed to accurately adjust the rotation angle of the main body, making the device more convenient and stable during use. This design also ensures that the heating device can rotate smoothly between vertical and horizontal positions and be precisely positioned in both.

[0068] The support base 110 serves as the stable foundation of the entire device, ensuring its stable support. The core support structure of this device is borne by the support base 110, which supports the entire device according to conventional support principles; however, this design has certain limitations in terms of load-bearing capacity. To overcome this limitation, such as... Figure 2As shown, the device has retractable auxiliary support legs 130 at both ends of the base 2. When the auxiliary support legs 130 are unfolded, the base 2 is supported by the support rod 120 and the auxiliary support legs 130 together to increase the drying load.

[0069] Preferably, the lower side of the base 2 has a receiving groove 132 for accommodating the auxiliary support leg 130. One end of the auxiliary support leg 130 is hinged to the base, while the other end is in a free state. In the second use state of the second state, the auxiliary support leg 130 can be folded and accommodated in the receiving groove 132, resulting in a neat and compact shape for the entire heating device. In the first use state of the first and second states, the free end of the auxiliary support leg 130 flips out of the receiving groove 132 to perform its supporting function. This design not only improves the load-bearing capacity of the device but also saves valuable space by folding or folding the auxiliary support leg 130 when it is not necessary to carry heavy items, achieving a dual optimization of functionality and space utilization.

[0070] It should be noted that after the auxiliary support foot 130 is unfolded, it can be supported on the support surface that is at the same level as the bottom surface of the support base 110, or it can be supported on the support base 110.

[0071] More preferably, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 7, the support base 110 has notches 131 at both ends. The free ends of the extended auxiliary support legs 130 pass through the notches 131, and their end faces are on the same plane as the bottom surface of the support base 110, thus achieving joint support. This ensures the horizontal stability of the support base 110 while providing longitudinal auxiliary support, making the structure more compact.

[0072] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the device is displayed in its supported state, where the support assembly 300 includes two scissor frames 310 respectively located on opposite sides of the base. The lower ends of these two scissor frames 310 are designed to be slidably connected to both sides of the device base 2. The upper ends of the scissor frames 310 are correspondingly slidably connected to the lower side of the clothes rack 400. Furthermore, the base 2 is provided with a lower rail for the lower ends of the scissor frames 310 to slide, and the bottom of the clothes rack 400 is provided with an upper rail for the upper ends of the scissor frames 310 to slide. In the folded state, the scissor frames 310 can be stored in the lower rail, thus ensuring a compact structure. This allows the clothes rack 400 to form a single module with the smallest possible gap close to the base, maintaining the neatness of the device and making it easy to store and carry.

[0073] Each scissor rack 310 consists of a first connecting rod 311 and a second connecting rod 312 that intersect each other. The scissor rack 310 is equipped with a limiting component, which includes a limiting pin 314, a locking rod 313 and a pivot pin 315. The locking rod 313, the limiting pin 314 and the pivot pin 315 work together to adjust and control the height of the clothes rack 400.

[0074] The specific structural design is as follows: one end of the locking rod 313 is connected to the first connecting rod 311 via a shaft connection, while a limiting pin 314 is cleverly set on the second connecting rod 312. When the device is adjusted, the second end of the locking rod 313, i.e., its hook, can flexibly engage with the limiting pin 314 to achieve stable locking. Furthermore, combined with… Figure 5 The pivot pin 315 shown allows the two connecting rods to move smoothly within the slide, precisely determining the unfolding angle of the scissor frame 310 and locking it in the desired position. Multiple limiting pins 314 are designed on the locking rod 313 for locking and securing. The locking rod 313 is raised or lowered to a designated height and locked onto the limiting pins 314 to achieve the desired position. This design also gives the device a unique function—by adjusting the unfolding angle of the scissor frame 310, different unfolding angles achieve different heights and load-bearing capacities. Different load capacities can accommodate different types of clothing, and different heights can accommodate different types of clothing while also considering drying effects. Preferably, when the unfolding angle varies between 30 degrees and 150 degrees, it can withstand weights ranging from 20 kg to 50 kg.

[0075] During the clothes-drying process, first, unfold the scissor rack 310 and adjust the device to the desired position. Figure 6 The state shown is as indicated. Clothes can then be hung on the clothes rack 400. After the power is turned on, the fan module 550 and the heating module 540 work together to promote air circulation and release heat, thereby ensuring that the clothes can be dried quickly.

[0076] When this device is needed for space heating, it can be set up as follows: Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown in the image. Simply connect the power supply and turn on the heating module 540 to easily achieve winter heating and provide a warm indoor environment.

[0077] When not in use, the device can be stored away to save space. Figure 3 The state shown is as described. This design not only facilitates storage but also effectively reduces the floor space occupied by the device when not in use, thus improving space utilization efficiency.

[0078] like Figure 1-5As shown, the clothesline consists of two parallel drying rods 410 and a crossbar 420 spanning and connecting the two drying rods 410. The length and width dimensions of the clothes rack 400 match the length and width dimensions of the base 2, ensuring that the clothes rack 400 stably covers the base 2 when unfolded. The heating module 500 includes a housing 520 and a hot airflow generator, which is installed inside the housing 520. The housing 520 has an airflow outlet for releasing warm airflow. The housing 520 protrudes from the upper surface of the base 2 in a regular shape, leaving space in the remaining area of ​​the upper surface of the base 2 for storing the clothes rack 400. In the stored state, the clothes rack 400 is placed in the space of the base 2, and the thickness of the clothes rack 400 is approximately the same as the height of the housing 520, making the entire structure compact and aesthetically pleasing, and ensuring smooth and precise movement between them. Figure 1 and Figure 5 The morphological transformation is shown.

[0079] Specifically, a central bar 430 is cleverly placed between the two drying rods 410 of the clothes rack 400. Both ends of the central bar 430 are connected to the crossbar 420. This design not only effectively expands the drying space but also significantly enhances the overall stability and structural strength of the device, making its use safer and more reliable. Furthermore, the central bar 430 is equipped with a raised and recessed structure to prevent the clothes rack from falling.

[0080] like Figure 7-9 As shown, the heating module 500 includes a heating module 540, and the hot airflow generating device includes a fan module 550 and a heating module 540 located inside the housing 520. The airflow generator is located downstream of the fan module 550, and the heating module 540 heats the airflow generated by the fan module 550. Its detailed structure is as follows... Figure 8 As shown, the heating module 540 is composed of layers of metal sheet 541, thick film resistive layer 542, and insulating layer 543, which together form a high-efficiency heating component. Furthermore, the air outlet 530 of the heating module 500 is used to evenly blow out the heated air.

[0081] like Figure 8 The image shows the core component of the heating module 540, which primarily achieves temperature rise through the heat generated when the thick-film resistor layer 542 is energized. Compared to traditional heating wire methods, the thick-film resistor layer 542 has a higher compatibility with the metal sheet 541, resulting in significant advantages such as lower power consumption and higher energy efficiency.

[0082] like Figure 9As shown, the design of the fan module 550 is mainly based on the principle of a hair dryer. The main structure of this module cleverly incorporates air inlets and outlets on both sides, with a heating module 540 strategically placed between them. This layout allows the air to be effectively heated as it flows through, thus achieving a heating function.

[0083] The fan module 550 first draws in outside air, then guides the airflow through the heating module 540. Through this process, the air is effectively heated and converted into warm air, thus achieving the transfer of warm airflow. The fan module 550 has air outlets 530 at both its upper and lower ends. This design ensures that the heating module 540 can receive airflow from the fan module 550 evenly and continuously, thereby optimizing heat exchange efficiency and guaranteeing the stability and uniformity of the warm air output.

[0084] When the thick-film resistive layer 542 is energized, the metal sheet 541 heats up due to resistance. In clothes-drying mode, the fan module 550 operates, drawing in outside air and blowing it onto the heated metal sheet 541. The heated air is then blown onto the clothes through the air outlet 530, achieving rapid drying. When this device is used as a space heating module 500, the heating module 540 also operates, but the fan module 550 is not activated. The heating module 540 directly releases heat into the surrounding space to achieve a heating effect.

[0085] like Figure 4-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the heating module 500 has two air outlets 530, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central rod 430. Each air outlet 530 includes an independent air outlet cover and a hot air flow generating device. The air outlet cover can be part of an integrated housing 520, or it can be a single air outlet cover, i.e., a single housing 520.

[0086] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the air outlet 530 is separated by a middle rod 430 with a gap 510 in the middle. When stored, the middle rod 430 can fit perfectly into this gap 510. This allows for other functional layouts or maintains the simplicity of the design, further optimizing space utilization and ensuring the harmonious coexistence and stability of the clothes rack 400 and the heating module 500 when stored.

[0087] like Figure 6As shown, both ends of the drying rod 410 are equipped with retractable auxiliary rods 440 to expand the drying area. The auxiliary rods 440 can be flexibly pulled out from inside the clothes rack 400. When the drying space of the clothes rack 400 is insufficient, the auxiliary rods 440 can be pulled out to increase the drying area. However, it is worth noting that since the position of the auxiliary rods 440 is not directly opposite the heating vent 530, clothes hung here are more suitable for drying natural fiber materials that cannot be overheated compared to clothes hung on the clothes rack 400.

[0088] The foregoing has described a foldable clothes drying device for bottom drying provided by this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
