[0051] Referring to Figures 1-9 For an embodiment of the clothes dryer with atomization module of the utility model, it aims at solving the problem of inconvenient water injection of the atomization module of the existing clothes dryer.
[0052] The clothes dryer mainly comprises a mounting box 100, a water storage box 200 and a water injection switch assembly 300.
[0053] The mounting box 100 is a fixed structure inside the clothes dryer, and a water storage tank 110 is arranged inside, which is communicated with the atomization module through a pipeline to provide water source for the atomization module.
[0054] The water storage box 200 is used for storing the condensed water generated by the clothes dryer, and the water storage box 200 is pullably arranged on the mounting box 100, which is convenient for the user to pull out the water storage box 200 to pour water.
[0055] The top of the water storage box 200 is provided with a water adding tank 210, which is located above the water storage tank 110. A water outlet 211 is formed in the side wall of the water adding tank 210, which is used for guiding the water in the water adding tank 210 into the water storage tank 110. The user can perform water injection operation by pulling out the water storage box 200. The water adding tank 210 is located directly above the water storage tank 110, and it is not necessary to arrange a water pipe on the water storage box 200 to connect the water storage tank 110.
[0056] The water injection switch assembly 300 is installed on the water storage box 200 and is used for controlling the communication state of the water outlet 211.
[0057] When the user pulls out the water storage box 200, the water filling switch assembly 300 will automatically close, cutting off the connection between the water outlet 211 and the water storage tank 110. When the water storage box 200 is pulled out a certain distance, the water filling groove 210 leaks, and at this time water is added to the water filling groove 210. Since the water filling switch assembly 300 is in the closed state, water leakage during water filling can be prevented.
[0058] When the user pushes the water storage box 200 into the installation box 100 to the right position, the water filling switch assembly 300 will automatically open, connecting the water outlet 211 and the water storage tank 110, so that the water in the water filling groove 210 can flow smoothly into the water storage tank 110.
[0059] The above-described clothes dryer with an atomizing module simplifies the water filling process and improves user convenience by providing a water filling groove 210 on the water storage box 200 and cooperating with the water filling switch assembly 300. The user only needs to pull out part of the water storage box 200 to complete the water filling operation, without the need to pull out the entire water storage box 200. After the water storage box 200 is pulled out a certain distance, it is convenient for water filling operation, greatly simplifying the water filling process and improving user convenience. At the same time, the automatic control function of the water filling switch assembly 300 effectively prevents water leakage and improves the safety and reliability of the clothes dryer.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 The water filling switch assembly 300 includes a sealing sleeve 310, a valve core 320, and a guide 330.
[0061] The sealing sleeve 310 is fixed on the water storage box 200, and a first through hole 311 is formed in the side wall thereof. The first through hole 311 is in communication with the water outlet 211 of the water filling groove 210.
[0062] The valve core 320 is a rotatable component and is sleeved inside the sealing sleeve 310. The valve core 320 is hollow inside to form a water passage 321, and a second through hole 322 is formed in the side wall of the valve core 320 and is in communication with the water passage 321.
[0063] The guide 330 is arranged at one end of the valve core 320 and cooperates with the guide structure in the installation box 100.
[0064] When the water storage box 200 is pulled out of the installation box 100, the guide structure in the installation box 100 drives the valve core 320 to rotate through the guide 330, so that the second through hole 322 is misaligned with the first through hole 311, thereby closing the water passage 321 and cutting off the connection between the water filling groove 210 and the water storage tank 110.
[0065] When the water storage box 200 is pushed into the installation box 100, the guide structure drives the valve core 320 to rotate again through the guide piece 330, so that the second through hole 322 is in communication with the first through hole 311, thereby opening the water passing channel 321, so that the water in the water adding groove 210 can flow into the water storage tank 110 through the water passing channel 321.
[0066] The water adding switch assembly 300 described above realizes automatic control of the water adding switch, without the need for manual operation of the user, greatly simplifies the water adding process, and improves the use convenience of the user. At the same time, the rotation control of the valve core 320 makes the opening and closing of water adding more reliable, effectively preventing the occurrence of water leakage problems.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 9 The guide structure includes a guide groove 120 arranged on the installation box 100, and the guide groove 120 has an arc segment 121 and a straight segment 122 extending forward along the pulling direction.
[0068] As shown in Figure 8 The guide piece 330 includes a connecting part 331 fixed with the valve core 320 and a guide column 332 arranged on the connecting part 331. The axis of the guide column 332 is arranged eccentrically with the rotation axis of the valve core 320, and the guide column 332 is slidingly arranged in the guide groove 120.
[0069] When the water storage box 200 is pulled out of the installation box 100, the guide column 332 slides in the arc segment 121 of the guide groove 120, drives the valve core 320 to rotate, so that the second through hole 322 is misaligned with the first through hole 311, and the water passing channel 321 is closed. During the continuous pulling out of the water storage box 200, the guide column 332 will slide in the straight segment 122. When the water storage box 200 is pushed into the installation box 100, the guide column 332 slides in the arc segment 121 of the guide groove 120, drives the valve core 320 to rotate reversely, so that the second through hole 322 is in communication with the first through hole 311, and the water passing channel 321 is opened. Through the arrangement of the guide groove 120 and the guide piece 330, the accurate rotation control of the valve core 320 is realized, and the reliability and stability of the water adding switch are ensured.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the guide piece 330 is fixed at the top end of the valve core 320, and the bottom end of the valve core 320 is open to form the outlet of the water passing channel 321. The open design of the bottom end of the valve core 320 makes the drainage of the water passing channel 321 more smooth, and improves the water adding efficiency.
[0071] Further, the guide piece 330 is sleeved on the top of the valve core 320 and is fixed by a screw 340 or the like fastener. This fixing mode is simple and reliable, and can ensure the stable connection between the guide piece 330 and the valve core 320, preventing loosening during use.
[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 2 The water adding groove 210 is arranged at the top of the front end of the water storage box 200. This makes it more convenient for the user to add water. The user only needs to pull out the water storage box 200 by a small distance to complete the water adding operation.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the capacity of the water adding groove 210 is not greater than the capacity of the water storage groove 110, so as to prevent the water flowing into the water storage groove 110 from overflowing when the water adding groove 210 is filled with water. Preferably, the capacity of the water adding groove 210 is equal to the capacity of the water storage groove 110. In this way, it can be ensured that the water adding operation can meet the needs of the atomization module at one time.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 The water adding switch assembly 300 is inserted into the mounting slot 220, so that the installation of the water adding switch assembly 300 is more convenient. The water adding switch assembly 300 is preferably in a cylindrical structure, which is convenient for assembly and installation.
[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The top of the water storage box 200 at the position of the mounting slot 220 is provided with a groove 230, and the guide 330 at the top of the water adding switch assembly 300 can be located in the groove 230, so as to avoid the guide 330 protruding too much from the top surface of the water storage box 200.
[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing sleeve 310 is a piece of elastic material, such as silicone rubber, nitrile rubber, etc. The elastic material has good sealing performance and wear resistance, which can ensure the reliability and service life of the water adding switch assembly 300.
[0077] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified by those of ordinary skill in the art, or some technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents. These modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by the present application.
