Detailed Implementation Methods

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a cabinet-type gas dryer includes a cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 has a clothing cavity 2 with an opening on one side for hanging clothes. A door 3 on one side of the cabinet body 1 covers the opening of the clothing cavity 2. A heating installation cavity 4 is located below the clothing cavity 2 within the cabinet body 1, separated from the clothing cavity 2. A partition separates the heating installation cavity 4 from the clothing cavity 2 at its bottom wall. The heating installation cavity 4 contains a gas inlet pipe 10, a burner assembly 5 that can receive gas from the gas inlet pipe 10, and a hot air channel 6 that communicates with the clothing cavity 2 and guides the heat generated by the burner assembly 5 to the clothing cavity 2. The hot air channel 6 is an independent channel with one end connected to the clothing cavity 2. The lower part of the clothing cavity 2 is provided with a heating air channel 6, and the heat flow inlet 21 is provided for the hot air to enter the clothing cavity 2. The top of the clothing cavity 2 is provided with an exhaust fan 7 that can extract the air from the clothing cavity 2. The cabinet 1 is provided with an exhaust channel 11 that can exhaust the air extracted by the exhaust fan 7. The heat flow inlet 21 is located at the bottom, and the exhaust fan 7 is located at the top. When the exhaust fan 7 is turned on, the hot air flows from the bottom to the top, so that the heat fills the clothing cavity 2 and the heat is even.

[0022] To ensure even heat distribution, heat inlets 21 are located at the bottom of the left and right side walls of the clothing cavity 2. Each heat inlet 21 includes multiple holes that can form a mesh. The ends of the hot air channel 6 extend towards the outer walls of the left and right sides of the clothing cavity 2 and communicate with the mesh. An exhaust fan 7 is located in the center of the top of the clothing cavity 2. Heat enters from the left and right sides, and suction is generated in the center of the top of the clothing cavity 2, causing heat to flow upwards from the left and right sides, allowing for even heat diffusion. The hot air channel 6 includes a horizontal section 61 extending towards the left and right sides of the cabinet 1. Vertical sections 62 extend from both ends of the horizontal section 61. The upper ends of the vertical sections 62 communicate with the mesh. The horizontal section 61 and the vertical section 62 form a channel separated from the heating installation cavity 4. The hot air channel 6 is a closed channel. The horizontal section 61 and the vertical section 62 extend the hot air channel 6, preventing excessively high temperatures from the combustion of gas and ensuring even heat distribution. The heating installation cavity 4 houses a burner housing 51, which is connected to the horizontal section 61 via a connecting port 50.
