Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage box technology, specifically a clothing box that can be used for both drying and storage. Background Technology
[0002] Storage boxes are boxes used to organize miscellaneous items. Among them, boxes used to store clothes are called clothing boxes, which make it convenient for people to organize and store their clothes.
[0003] Currently, when using a clothes box, people generally simply fold and put clothes that are not needed temporarily into the box. However, clothes themselves may have a certain degree of humidity, which is related to the humidity of the user's environment. This can easily lead to mold growth on stored clothes, making them unsuitable for storage. At the same time, even dry clothes can become damp after long-term storage, requiring the use of a dryer to dry the clothes before or after they become damp. However, dryers are bulky and not commonly used household appliances, thus causing some inconvenience to users. Therefore, this utility model proposes a clothes box that can be used for both drying and storage. Utility Model Content

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a box cover is installed on the upper surface of the box body, a storage cavity is opened inside the box cover, and a top cover is provided above the storage cavity.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the drying rack includes a drying rack set on its top, and an assembly socket is provided at each of the four corners of the lower surface of the drying rack, and a support rod is inserted into each assembly socket.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a sealing ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the cover plate, and a lifting block is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cover plate.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a battery is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the box, and the battery is electrically connected to the PTC heater and the fan.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the overhead support is a support leg or a moving wheel.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a filter screen is provided on the lower surface of the fan box.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This utility model discloses a clothes box that can be used for both drying and storage. By setting a fan box, a fan and a PTC heater at the bottom of the box, the clothes box can have a hot air drying function. A drying rack is set above the PTC heater, on which clothes that need to be dried can be placed for drying. When drying is not needed, the drying rack can be stored in the storage cavity of the box lid. The hot air generating cavity can be isolated by the lid, so that the inside of the box can be converted into storage space to achieve the purpose of conventional clothes storage.
[0014] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "vertical", "up", "down", "horizontal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment, a clothes drying and storage dual-purpose box is provided, including a box body 1. A support structure 2 is installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the box body 1. A hot air generating chamber 3 is formed on the inner surface of the bottom of the box body 1. A fan box 4 is fixedly installed inside the hot air generating chamber 3, and a fan 41 is built into the fan box 4. A PTC heater 5 is installed above the fan box 4. A cover plate 8 is provided inside the box body 1 above the PTC heater 5. A drying rack 6 is provided on the upper surface of the cover plate 8. A box cover 9 is installed on the upper surface of the box body 1. A storage cavity 91 is formed inside the box cover 91. A top cover 92 is provided above the storage cavity 91. A battery 7 is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 1. The battery 7 is electrically connected to the PTC heater 5 and the fan 41. The PTC heater 5, also called a PTC heating element, is composed of a PTC ceramic heating element and an aluminum tube. The PTC heating element has the advantages of low thermal resistance and high heat exchange efficiency, and is an automatic temperature-controlled, energy-saving electric heating element. The heater, PTC heater 5, can be arranged in multiple rows. Regardless of whether there are multiple PTC heaters 5 or just one, air passage gaps must be provided on both sides to allow the air blown out by fan 41 to be heated and used for drying above. The PTC heater 5 requires mature existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be elaborated here. By setting the fan box 4, fan 41 and PTC heater 5 at the bottom of the box 1, the clothes box can have a hot air drying function. A drying rack 6 is set above the PTC heater 5, and clothes that need to be dried can be placed on the drying rack 6 for drying. When drying is not needed, the drying rack 6 can be stored in the storage cavity 91 of the box cover 9, and the hot air generating cavity 3 can be isolated by the cover plate 8, so that the inside of the box 1 can be changed into storage space to achieve the purpose of conventional clothes storage. The overhead support 2 is a support leg or a moving wheel, and a filter screen 42 is set on the lower surface of the fan box 4.
[0024] In this embodiment, the drying rack 6 includes a drying rack 61 set on its top. The four corners of the lower surface of the drying rack 61 are provided with assembly sockets 62. Each assembly socket 62 is connected to a support rod 63. By setting the assembly sockets 62 and the support rods 63, the drying rack 6 can be easily assembled or disassembled and stored. The disassembled drying rack 6 can be well stored in the storage cavity 91.
[0025] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 81 is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the cover plate 8, and a lifting block 82 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cover plate 8. By setting the sealing ring 81, the clothing storage space above it can be well isolated from the space below, thereby protecting the clothing storage space and preventing external moisture from entering. It should be noted that when the drying process is underway, the cover plate 8 needs to be removed to avoid blocking the hot air outlet, and it can be temporarily stored in the storage cavity 91.
[0026] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
