Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a floor-standing clothes dryer. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the home dryer market, users have increasingly higher requirements for dryers in terms of safety, ease of operation, and storage convenience. Currently, the widely used floor-standing dryer design typically has an air outlet near the top of the main unit to deliver hot air to the clothes to be dried, and a drain outlet at the bottom to remove moisture. However, existing dryer designs still have the following drawbacks:

[0003] During hot air delivery, moisture can easily be carried along. This moisture, once splashed out, may directly or indirectly come into contact with the heating element, causing temperature fluctuations and affecting heating efficiency. Furthermore, if moisture comes into contact with electrical components, it may cause safety hazards such as electrical leakage.

[0004] Most existing floor-standing dryers have a fixed structure, are large in size and have a fixed design, making them difficult to store effectively when not in use. This is especially inconvenient for small apartments with limited space, as both storage and transportation are problematic. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a floor-standing clothes dryer that prevents water vapor from splashing, is safe to use, and is easy to store.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0007] A floor-standing clothes dryer includes a main unit, a left housing, a right housing, a hot air device, and a control panel. The left housing is rotatably connected to the left side of the main unit, and the right housing is rotatably connected to the right side of the main unit.

[0008] The hot air device includes a fan and a heating element, which are installed inside the main unit. The main unit has an air outlet on the left side wall of the left housing near its top, and a height difference is formed between the air outlet and the left housing.

[0009] The main unit has an air outlet on the right side wall of the right housing near its top, and there is a height difference between the air outlet and the right housing.

[0010] The bottom wall of the host has an air inlet and an air outlet, and the front and / or rear face of the host has an air inlet.

[0011] The left and right housings are respectively provided with insertion interfaces to facilitate the insertion of support rods;

[0012] The control panel is located on the host unit, and the fan and heating element are electrically connected to the control panel respectively.

[0013] By using a rotating connection between the main unit and the left and right housings, a significant height difference is created between the air outlet on the main unit and the left and right housings. This effectively prevents water vapor from directly splashing onto the heating element during hot air exhaust, reducing the risk of short circuits or leakage in electrical components caused by water vapor and significantly improving the overall safety performance of the equipment.

[0014] The hot air device is built into the main unit, and the hot air is evenly directed to the clothes to be dried through the carefully designed air outlet position. At the same time, the air inlet and drain outlet are set at the bottom of the main unit and the air inlet is set at the front / rear end to ensure good air circulation and timely discharge of moisture, thereby improving drying efficiency and energy efficiency.

[0015] Both the left and right housings are equipped with insertion interfaces for easy connection of support rods, making the whole machine more convenient and stable during assembly, installation and daily use.

[0021] Furthermore, the fan is located inside the main unit near the air inlet, and the heating element is a PTC heating element, which is also located inside the main unit near the fan.

[0022] The fan is positioned close to the air inlet to draw in outside air more efficiently and works in conjunction with the heating element to achieve rapid heating and hot air delivery. The PTC heating element has a self-regulating temperature protection function, ensuring high safety. Its close proximity to the fan ensures rapid mixing and uniform distribution of hot air, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0023] Furthermore, the air inlet, air outlet, air inlet drain outlet, and drain outlet are all equipped with grilles.

[0024] The grille structure effectively blocks foreign objects from entering the interior, ensuring smooth airflow while preventing large particles from clogging the air vents or drainage channels. In addition, the grille can also prevent users from accidentally touching the internal heating elements or fans, thus improving the overall safety protection level.

[0025] Furthermore, both the left and right housings are provided with receiving cavities for accommodating the support rod, and the receiving cavities contain elastic clamping blocks for clamping the support rod.

[0026] The receiving cavity provides a fixed storage position for the support rod, making the storage of the support rod easier and more secure. The built-in elastic clamp can automatically clamp the support rod to prevent it from falling off or becoming loose due to shaking or external force.

[0027] Furthermore, a left support block is provided at the bottom of the left housing, a right support block is provided at the bottom of the right housing, and a central support block is provided at the bottom of the main unit. The left and right housings are folded together to form a box; the left and right housings are unfolded together to form a clothes dryer. The left support block and the central support block jointly support the left housing. The drain outlet is located in the area between the left support block and the central support block on the left housing. The right support block and the central support block jointly support the right housing. The drain outlet is located in the area between the right support block and the central support block on the right housing.

[0028] After the shell is folded to form a box, the size of the device is greatly reduced, making it easy to store in small spaces and meeting the needs of modern homes for compact appliances.

[0029] The drain outlets are located between the support blocks, which makes drainage smoother, ensures that water vapor can be discharged quickly, and further improves the safety of the equipment.

[0030] Furthermore, the top of the main unit is provided with a protrusion, the protrusion having an air outlet on the left side wall of the left housing and the protrusion having an air outlet on the right side wall of the right housing.

[0031] The raised structure not only enhances the strength of the top of the main unit, but also optimizes the flow of hot air by directional air outlets, allowing the hot air to be evenly distributed on the clothing.

[0032] The arrangement of air outlets on both sides helps to disperse hot air, avoid local overheating, and reduce the risk of water vapor directly splashing and wetting the internal heat source.

[0033] Furthermore, it also includes a cloth bag with a zippered opening and a support rod. The support rod is detachably inserted into the corresponding insertion interface. The cloth bag is placed on the support rod. The top of the cloth bag is connected to the support rod. The bottom of the cloth bag is connected to the left shell and the right shell. The inner cavity of the cloth bag forms a drying chamber.

[0034] The bag features a zippered opening for easy access to clothing. The inner cavity of the bag forms a drying chamber, which helps create a closed-loop hot air environment, improving drying efficiency and uniformity.

[0035] The detachable support rod, combined with the cloth bag structure, allows the device to be quickly set up as a clothes dryer when in use, while folding it down to reduce its size, thus balancing convenience in use and storage.

[0036] Furthermore, the support rod includes at least two rod sections, the length of which is less than the length of the receiving cavity, the rod sections are detachably connected to form the support rod, and the top of the cloth bag has a water vapor discharge port.

[0037] The multi-section detachable support rod facilitates segmented storage and assembly, further reducing space occupation and making it suitable for portable and compact storage. Moreover, the reasonable length design of the rod ensures that it can be firmly placed in the housing cavity and is not easily loosened due to vibration.

[0038] The moisture vent at the top of the cloth bag can promptly discharge excess moisture generated during the drying process, preventing moisture from accumulating in the drying chamber, maintaining a dry environment, and improving drying efficiency and equipment safety.

[0039] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0040] This utility model dryer utilizes the synergistic effect of a built-in fan and a PTC heating element. First, the fan draws in outside air through the air inlet, which is then rapidly heated by the PTC heating element. The air is then evenly discharged through the air outlet located at the top of the main unit, forming a height difference between the outlet and the left and right shells, creating a high-speed hot air flow that continuously circulates within the drying chamber. This rapidly removes moisture from the clothes, achieving efficient drying. Furthermore, the significant height difference between the air outlet and the left and right shells effectively prevents water vapor from directly splashing onto the heating element during the hot air discharge process, reducing the risk of short circuits or leakage in electrical components caused by water vapor and significantly improving the overall safety performance of the equipment.

[0041] This utility model has air inlet and drain outlets on the bottom wall, left shell and right shell of the main unit, to ensure that water vapor and condensate can be discharged quickly and protect electrical components and heating elements from moisture damage.

[0042] This invention allows the left and right shells of the dryer to be folded together to form a compact box when not in use, significantly reducing the size of the device and making it easy to place in narrow areas, greatly improving the convenience of storage and space utilization.

[0043] This utility model features a detachable support rod combined with a cloth bag structure, allowing the device to be quickly set up as a clothes dryer during use. When folded for storage, the cavity provides a fixed storage position for the support rod, making storage easier and more secure. The built-in elastic clamps automatically clamp the support rod, preventing it from falling off or becoming loose due to shaking or external force. Furthermore, the folded storage of the clothes dryer into a box reduces its size, balancing convenience for both use and storage. Attached Figure Description
