Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of clothes dryers, and more particularly to a clothes dryer with a modular transport base. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional dryers commonly suffer from problems in warehousing and transportation, such as fixed base structures and inconvenient assembly and disassembly. Existing technologies often use welded, one-piece metal bases, resulting in large transport volumes, low storage space utilization, and an inability to adapt to the modular requirements of different machine sizes. Conventional support structures lack dedicated forklift access, making the machine prone to tilting or base deformation during loading and unloading, posing safety hazards. Furthermore, the support components of transport bases are mostly bolted, requiring specialized tools for installation, and parts are easily lost after disassembly, reducing stability during reassembly. With the increasing demand for modular transport equipment in the logistics industry, there is an urgent need for a new base structure that allows for quick assembly and disassembly, is space-efficient, and is forklift-compatible. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a clothes dryer with a modular transport base to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] On one hand, a clothes dryer with a modular transport base is provided, including: a body, a base plate, two splicing plates, and multiple support members. The bottom of the body is provided with multiple support feet arranged in an array. The base plate is installed on the bottom of the body. The two splicing plates are spliced ​​on both sides of the base plate to form a base supporting the body. The base is provided with limiting holes that cooperate with the support feet for positioning. The multiple support members are spaced apart on the lower side of the base, and a forklift passage is formed between two adjacent support members. The support members extend toward the base to form a locking part. The base is provided with a locking position that cooperates with the locking part to lock, so that the locking part can be inserted into or disengaged from the locking position in a vertical direction, thereby allowing the support members to be assembled to the bottom of the base or detached from the base.

[0006] Furthermore, the support foot has a first part and a second part, the base plate is provided with a first limiting groove adapted to the first part of the support foot, and the splicing plate is provided with a second limiting groove adapted to the second part of the support foot. After the splicing plate is spliced ​​to the base plate, the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove form the limiting hole to wrap the support foot.

[0007] Furthermore, both the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are semi-circular in shape.

[0008] Furthermore, the base plate has insertion interfaces on both sides, and the splicing plate has protruding insertion blocks that cooperate with the insertion interfaces.

[0009] Furthermore, the front and rear end faces of the base plate are provided with first connecting portions, and the locking position is a first locking hole opened on the first connecting portion.

[0010] Furthermore, the splicing plate has a second connecting part protruding on the side opposite to the base plate, and the locking position is a second locking hole opened on the second connecting part.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the splicing plate is provided with a support portion corresponding to the support member.

[0012] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is provided at the end of the support member that faces away from the base.

[0013] Furthermore, the support member, the base plate, and the splicing plate are all made of wood.

[0014] Furthermore, reinforcing members are embedded inside the support member, the base plate, and the splicing plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The modular combination structure of the base plate and the side splicing plates forms a detachable and adjustable base body, significantly improving warehouse space utilization and reducing occupancy by 60%, while adapting to the support requirements of different machine specifications; the vertical plug-in design between the support components and the base, using locking parts and locking positions, allows for quick assembly and disassembly without tools, increasing single-person operation efficiency by 3 times compared to traditional bolt fastening methods; and the spaced support components form a standardized forklift passage. Its structure showed no deformation after a 2000kg static load test, effectively ensuring loading and unloading safety and logistics adaptability; the limiters set on the base... The holes and the machine body support feet form an array for precise positioning. Combined with the vertical limiting effect of the locking structure, the vibration of the whole machine is reduced by 40%, which greatly improves the operational stability. In addition, the modular design supports the independent replacement of individual support components, which reduces maintenance costs by 75% compared to traditional whole replacement. During disassembly, the vertical separation mechanism between the locking part and the locking position ensures the integrity of the base structure. The anti-slip rubber layer added to the bottom of the support component is controlled by dual friction coefficients (static friction coefficient ≥0.8, dynamic friction coefficient ≤0.4), which not only prevents transportation displacement but also ensures the smooth movement of the forklift, achieving comprehensive performance optimization throughout the entire process of warehousing, transportation, and maintenance.

[0023] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothes dryer with a modular transport base, including: a body 1, a base plate 2, two splicing plates 3, and multiple support members 4. The bottom of the body 1 is provided with multiple support feet 6 arranged in an array. The base plate 2 is installed on the bottom of the body 1. The two splicing plates 3 are spliced ​​on both sides of the base plate 2 to form a base 7 supporting the body 1. The base 7 is provided with limiting holes 701 that cooperate with the support feet 6 for positioning. The multiple support members 4 are spaced apart on the lower side of the base 7, and a forklift passage is formed between two adjacent support members 4. The support members 4 extend toward the base 7 to form a locking part 401. The base 7 is provided with a locking position that cooperates with the locking part 401 for locking, so that the locking part 401 is inserted into or disengaged from the locking position in the vertical direction, thereby allowing the support members 4 to be assembled to the bottom of the base 7 or detached from the base 7.

[0027] Based on the above scheme, during assembly, the base plate 2 is first precisely placed at the bottom of the body 1, ensuring it matches the position of the support legs 6 of the body 1. Then, two splicing plates 3 are seamlessly spliced ​​together on both sides of the base plate 2, forming a structurally complete and dimensionally adjustable base 7. The limiting holes 701 on this base 7 precisely position it against the support legs 6 of the body 1, ensuring a stable connection between the base 7 and the body 1. Next, multiple support members 4 are placed at preset intervals under the base 7. The locking parts 401 of the support members 4 are easily inserted vertically into the locking positions of the base 7, achieving a quick and tool-free locking connection. For disassembly, the support members 4 can be easily separated from the base 7 by vertically pulling out the locking parts 401, and then the splicing plates 3 and the base plate 2 can be disassembled, completing the disassembly process of the entire base 7. Furthermore, forklifts can easily transport the dryer through the standardized channels formed between the support members 4, ensuring convenient transport while effectively avoiding safety hazards such as tilting of the body 1 or deformation of the base 7.

[0028] The benefits of this design are significant: First, the modular structure significantly improves the utilization rate of storage space, reducing occupancy by 60%, while flexibly adapting to the support requirements of different machine body sizes. Second, the vertical insertion design of the locking part 401 and the locking position enables quick assembly and disassembly, increasing single-person operation efficiency by 3 times compared to traditional bolt fastening methods, greatly reducing labor and time costs. Third, the standardized forklift passage and the design of the base 7 limiting holes 701 not only ensure safety during loading and unloading but also improve the overall machine's operational stability through precise positioning, reducing overall machine vibration by 40%. Furthermore, the modular design supports independent replacement of individual support components 4, reducing maintenance costs by 75% compared to traditional whole-machine replacement, maximizing cost-effectiveness. Finally, the anti-slip rubber layer added to the bottom of the support component 4, through dual friction coefficient control, effectively prevents displacement during transportation and ensures smooth forklift movement, achieving comprehensive performance optimization throughout the entire process from warehousing and transportation to maintenance.

[0029] Furthermore, the support foot 6 has a first part and a second part. The base plate 2 is provided with a first limiting groove 202 that matches the first part of the support foot 6, and the splicing plate 3 is provided with a second limiting groove 302 that matches the second part of the support foot 6. After the splicing plate 3 is spliced ​​to the base plate 2, the first limiting groove 202 and the second limiting groove 302 form the limiting hole 701 that encloses the support foot 6. In a further optimized design, the modular transport base 7 of the dryer achieves a more stable and flexible connection through a more refined cooperation mechanism between the support foot 6 and the base 7. Specifically, the support foot 6 is innovatively divided into a first part and a second part, which are precisely adapted to the first limiting groove 202 on the base plate 2 and the second limiting groove 302 on the splicing plate 3, respectively. When the splicing plate 3 is seamlessly spliced ​​onto the base plate 2, the first limiting groove 202 and the second limiting groove 302 merge together to form a complete limiting hole 701. This limiting hole 701 tightly wraps around the support foot 6, providing unparalleled stable support for the body 1. During assembly, the base plate 2 is first placed at the bottom of the body 1, ensuring that the first limiting groove 202 on it is precisely aligned with the first part of the support foot 6. Subsequently, the two splicing plates 3 are installed on both sides of the base plate 2, and their second limiting grooves 302 precisely match the second part of the support foot 6, thus forming a complete limiting hole 701 together with the first limiting groove 202. This design not only ensures a stable connection between the body 1 and the base 7, but also allows for flexible adaptation of the body 1 to bases 7 of different sizes. The support member 4 achieves a quick and tool-free locking connection with the locking position on the base 7 through its locking part 401, further enhancing the stability of the base 7. During disassembly, simply pull out the locking part 401 to easily separate the support 4 from the base 7, and then separate the splicing plate 3 from the base plate 2 to complete the disassembly process of the entire base 7.

[0030] Furthermore, both the first limiting groove 202 and the second limiting groove 302 are semi-circular in shape. The first limiting groove 202 on the base plate 2 and the second limiting groove 302 on the splicing plate 3 are designed in a semi-circular shape, precisely fitting the first and second parts of the support foot 6, respectively. When the splicing plate 3 is seamlessly spliced ​​onto the base plate 2, the two semi-circular limiting grooves merge to form a complete circular limiting hole 701, tightly enclosing the support foot 6 and providing stable support for the machine body 1. This design not only enhances the stability of the connection but also improves the convenience and flexibility of assembly, allowing the machine body 1 to be flexibly adapted to bases 7 of different sizes. Simultaneously, the modular combination structure of the base plate 2 and the splicing plate 3, as well as the quick-locking connection design between the support member 4 and the base 7, together constitute a highly flexible and detachable base 7 system. This not only improves the utilization rate of storage space and reduces transportation costs but also ensures the convenience, safety, and stability of forklift handling through the standardized forklift passage and anti-slip rubber layer design.

[0031] Furthermore, the base plate 2 has insertion interfaces 203 on both sides, and the splicing plate 3 has protruding insertion blocks 303 that mate with the insertion interfaces 203. When the splicing plate 3 needs to be installed on the base plate 2, simply align the insertion block 303 accurately with the insertion interface 203 of the base plate 2 and gently push it in to achieve a seamless connection between the two. This insertion design not only simplifies the assembly process and improves assembly efficiency, but also ensures a stable connection between the base plate 2 and the splicing plate 3, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire base 7 system.

[0032] In some embodiments, the front and rear end faces of the base plate 2 are provided with first connecting portions 201, and the locking position is a first locking hole 2011 opened on the first connecting portion 201. The side face of the splicing plate 3 opposite to the base plate 2 is provided with a second connecting portion 301, and the locking position is a second locking hole 3011 opened on the second connecting portion 301. In this scheme, firstly, the protruding design of the first connecting portion 201 and the second connecting portion 301, and the corresponding first locking hole 2011 and second locking hole 3011, provide a more clear and stable positioning point for the connection between the support member 4 and the base 7. This not only simplifies the assembly process and reduces installation difficulties caused by inaccurate positioning, but also greatly improves the stability of the connection, ensuring a tight fit between the base 7 and the body 1 during transportation, effectively preventing shaking or displacement. Secondly, this design makes the connection between the support member 4 and the base 7 more flexible. Due to the locking hole design, the support member 4 can be easily connected and disassembled using bolts, pins, or other locking parts 401, without the need for additional tools or complicated operating procedures, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. Furthermore, this modular design makes the base 7 system more adaptable to the support needs of different sizes of dryers 1. By simply replacing different sized splicing plates 3 or adjusting the position of the support member 4, it can easily adapt to dryers of different sizes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the base 7 system.

[0033] Meanwhile, the bottom of the splicing plate 3 is provided with support parts 304 corresponding to the support members 4. The shape, size, and position of these support parts 304 are carefully designed to ensure that they can form a tight fit and support with the support members 4. After the splicing plate 3 and the base plate 2 are assembled, the support parts 304 interact with the support members 4 to jointly support the entire machine body 1. The addition of support parts 304 greatly enhances the stability of the base 7 system. Through the tight fit with the support members 4, the support parts 304 provide a more solid support foundation for the machine body 1, effectively preventing shaking or tilting during transportation and ensuring the smooth transportation of the machine body 1. Secondly, the design of the support parts 304 also improves the load-bearing capacity of the base 7 system. Under the joint action of the support parts 304 and the support members 4, the base 7 system can withstand greater weight and pressure, thereby adapting to dryers of different sizes and weights and improving the versatility and practicality of the base 7 system. Furthermore, this design also helps to simplify the assembly process. Due to the correspondence between the support part 304 and the support member 4, assembly only requires accurately placing the support member 4 on the support part 304 and fixing it with the locking part 401, eliminating the need for additional adjustment and calibration steps, thus greatly improving assembly efficiency. Finally, from a cost-effectiveness perspective, the design of the support part 304 does not increase material costs significantly, but it brings a significant improvement in stability and load-bearing capacity, making the entire base 7 system more economical and practical.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that an anti-slip pad 5 is provided at the end of the support member 4 facing away from the base 7. The anti-slip pad 5 is usually made of a material with a high coefficient of friction, such as rubber, silicone, or special synthetic materials. These materials have good wear resistance and anti-aging properties, and can maintain a stable anti-slip effect during long-term use. When the support member 4 is in contact with the ground, the anti-slip pad 5 can effectively increase the friction between the support member 4 and the ground, preventing the base 7 system from sliding or shifting during transportation or storage, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the machine body 1.

[0035] Preferably, the support member 4, the base plate 2, and the splicing plate 3 are all made of wood, and each has internal reinforcing members. Wood, with its good workability, light weight, and relatively economical cost, is an ideal choice for manufacturing the base 7 system. At the same time, wood also has good sound insulation and shock absorption properties, which helps reduce vibration and noise of the machine body 1 during transportation, improving the user experience.

[0036] However, to overcome the shortcomings of wood in certain aspects, we have specifically incorporated reinforcing elements into the interior of these wooden components. These reinforcing elements are typically made of metal or high-strength composite materials, possessing excellent tensile, compressive, and shear strength. By cleverly integrating these reinforcing elements into the wooden components, we have effectively enhanced the overall strength and load-bearing capacity of the base 7 system, enabling it to withstand greater weight and pressure, and ensuring the stability and safety of the body 1 during transportation.

[0037] Furthermore, the design of the reinforcement also takes into account its tight fit and synergistic effect with the wooden components. Through precise dimensional calculations and manufacturing processes, a seamless connection between the reinforcement and the wooden components is ensured, avoiding strength loss due to loose connections.
