[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This utility model embodiment provides a body dryer 1000, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the hair dryer 1000 includes a housing 100 and an air supply mechanism 200. The housing 100 includes a top shell 110 and a bottom shell 120 connected to the bottom of the top shell 110. The top shell 110 and the bottom shell 120 enclose an installation space, in which the air supply mechanism 200 is installed. The air supply mechanism 200 includes an air supply assembly 210 and an air outlet shell 220 communicating with the air supply assembly 210. The air supply assembly 210 supplies air to the outside of the hair dryer 1000 through the air outlet shell 220. The top and bottom sides of the air outlet shell 220 abut against the top shell 110 and the bottom shell 120, respectively.

[0033] Specifically, in the dryer 1000 of this embodiment, since the top and bottom sides of the air outlet shell 220 of the air supply mechanism 200 abut against the top shell 110 and the bottom shell 120 respectively, when the user stands on the dryer 1000, the air outlet shell 220 will support the top shell 110, share the force at the connection between the top shell 110 and the bottom shell 120, improve the structural strength of the dryer 1000, and reduce the probability of the outer shell 100 being damaged by stepping on it.

[0034] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the top shell 110 is provided with a plurality of internally threaded posts 111 on the side facing the bottom shell 120, and the bottom shell 120 is provided with a plurality of through holes 121. The dryer 1000 also includes a plurality of screws (not shown in the figure), which are respectively inserted through the plurality of through holes 121 and the plurality of internally threaded posts 111 to connect the top shell 110 and the bottom shell 120 together.

[0035] Specifically, screw connections are simple, inexpensive, and have strong fastening properties. Therefore, in this embodiment, screws are used to connect the top shell 110 and the bottom shell 120.

[0036] In some embodiments, the top shell 110 is provided with a plurality of slots (not shown in the figure), and the bottom shell 120 is provided with a plurality of buckles (not shown in the figure). The plurality of slots and the plurality of buckles cooperate to connect the top shell 110 and the bottom shell 120 together.

[0037] Specifically, snap-fit ​​connections have the advantages of convenient installation and strong fastening. Therefore, in this embodiment, snap-fit ​​connections are used to connect the top shell 110 and the bottom shell 120.

[0038] refer to Figures 2-4 In some embodiments, the top shell 110 is provided with a first reinforcing rib group 112 on the side facing the air outlet shell 220, and the top side 221 of the air outlet shell 220 abuts against the first reinforcing rib group 112.

[0039] Specifically, the first reinforcing rib group 112 can increase the structural strength of the top shell 110, thereby reducing the probability of the top shell 110 being damaged under pressure.

[0040] refer to Figures 3-5 In some embodiments, the bottom shell 120 is provided with a second reinforcing rib group 122 on the side facing the air outlet shell 220, and the bottom side 222 of the air outlet shell 220 abuts against the second reinforcing rib group 122.

[0041] Specifically, the second reinforcing rib group 122 can increase the structural strength of the bottom shell 120, thereby reducing the probability of the bottom shell 120 being damaged under pressure.

[0042] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the top shell 110 is provided with a third reinforcing rib group 113 on the side facing the bottom shell 120, and the bottom shell 120 is provided with a fourth reinforcing rib group 123 on the side facing the top shell 110, which abuts against the third reinforcing rib group 113. The installation space is formed next to the third reinforcing rib group 113 and the fourth reinforcing rib group 123.

[0043] Specifically, the third reinforcing rib group 113 increases the structural strength of the top shell 110, thereby reducing the probability of the top shell 110 being damaged by pressure. The fourth reinforcing rib group 123 increases the structural strength of the bottom shell 120, thereby reducing the probability of the bottom shell 120 being damaged by pressure. The third reinforcing rib group 113 and the fourth reinforcing rib group 123 counteract each other, so that the fourth reinforcing rib group 123 can provide support for the top shell 110, further distributing the stress, improving the structural strength of the dryer 1000, and reducing the probability of the outer shell 100 being damaged by being stepped on.

[0044] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a specific embodiment, a first perimeter 114 is provided at the position adjacent to the third reinforcing rib group 113 and the installation space, and a second perimeter 124 is provided at the position adjacent to the fourth reinforcing rib group 123 and the installation space, with the first perimeter 114 and the second perimeter 124 abutting against each other.

[0045] Firstly, setting the first perimeter 114 and the second perimeter 124 can more clearly separate the installation space from the third reinforcing rib group 113 and the fourth reinforcing rib group 123.

[0046] Secondly, the first edge 114 abuts against the second edge 124 so that the second edge 124 can support the top shell 110, further distributing the force, improving the structural strength of the dryer 1000, and reducing the probability of the outer shell 100 being damaged by being stepped on.

[0047] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the first reinforcing rib group 112, the second reinforcing rib group 122, the third reinforcing rib group 113 and the fourth reinforcing rib group 123 each include a number of crisscrossing reinforcing ribs. Compared with embodiments that only provide longitudinal or transverse reinforcing ribs, implementing this embodiment can give the top shell 110 and the bottom shell 120 higher structural strength.

[0048] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the air supply assembly 210 includes a fan assembly 211 and a mounting housing 212. The fan assembly 211 is installed inside the mounting housing 212. The mounting housing 212 communicates with the air outlet housing 220 and abuts against the top housing 110 and the bottom housing 120.

[0049] Specifically, in the dryer 1000 of this embodiment, the top and bottom sides of the mounting shell 212 abut against the top shell 110 and the bottom shell 120 respectively. Therefore, when the user stands on the dryer 1000, the mounting shell 212 will support the top shell 110, further distributing the force, improving the structural strength of the dryer 1000, and reducing the probability of the outer shell 100 being damaged by stepping on it.

[0050] refer to Figure 2 In a specific embodiment, the air outlet shell 220 is provided with three parts, in the first direction ( Figure 2 In the X direction of the figure, two air outlet shells 220 are located on both sides of the outer shell 100, which are side air outlet shells 223, and another air outlet shell 220 is located in the middle of the outer shell 100, which is the middle air outlet shell 224. The first direction is perpendicular to the direction of gravity (Z direction in the figure).

[0051] Specifically, when using the dryer 1000, the user can stand with one foot between the central air outlet shell 224 and one of the side air outlet shells 223, and with the other foot between the central air outlet shell 224 and another side air outlet shell 223, so as to make full use of the three air outlet shells 220 to blow air and dry different body positions, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0052] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In a specific embodiment, the fan assembly 211 is disposed in the second direction of the central air outlet shell 224. Figure 6The fan assembly 211 has its outlet end 2112 facing the central outlet housing 224. The mounting housing 212 has an air distribution area 2121 located between the outlet end 2112 and the central outlet housing 224, and connecting them. A side outlet housing 223 extends towards the fan assembly 211 and connects to the air distribution area 2121. The air supply mechanism 200 also includes a heating element 230, which is located in the air distribution area 2121 and partially obstructs the central outlet housing 224 near the outlet end 2112.

[0053] Specifically, since the fan assembly 211 is located in the second direction of the central air outlet shell 224, and the air outlet end 2112 of the fan assembly 211 faces the central air outlet shell 224, the central air outlet shell 224 receives the largest amount of air, while the side air outlet shell 223 receives a relatively small amount of air.

[0054] To improve user experience, it is necessary to reduce the airflow received by the central air outlet housing 224 and increase the airflow received by the side air outlet housing 223. In this embodiment, the mounting housing 212 has an air distribution area 2121 inside, which is located between the air outlet end 2112 and the central air outlet housing 224, and connects the air outlet end 2112 and the central air outlet housing 224. The air distribution area 2121 is provided with a heating element 230, which is partially blocked on the side of the central air outlet housing 224 near the air outlet end 2112. With this arrangement, part of the air generated by the fan assembly 211 during operation will be blocked by the heating element 230, reducing the airflow entering the central air outlet housing 224 and increasing the airflow entering the side air outlet housing 223. In addition, since the air exchanges heat with the heating element 230 when it passes over the surface of the heating element 230, causing the air temperature to rise, after implementing this embodiment, the air discharged from the air outlet housing 220 will not cause user discomfort due to excessive cold.

[0055] refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the fan assembly 211 is a volute fan, which includes an impeller (not shown in the figure), a volute 2111, and a drive motor (not shown in the figure). The impeller is installed inside the volute 2111, and the drive motor is connected to the impeller to drive the impeller to rotate and generate airflow.

[0056] Compared to axial fans, the volute 2111 of a volute fan guides and constrains airflow, resulting in a more uniform and stable flow, reducing turbulence and eddies. Furthermore, the volute 2111 provides sound insulation and noise reduction, minimizing noise generated by airflow impact and vibration. Therefore, this embodiment employs a volute fan.

[0057] refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the outer casing 100 is provided with connecting nozzles 240 on both sides, and the two connecting nozzles 240 are respectively connected to the two side air outlet casings 223. The air supply mechanism 200 also includes an exhaust hose (not shown in the figure), which is adapted to the connecting nozzles 240.

[0058] Specifically, the dryer 1000 is difficult to use on the user's instep, toes and other parts of the feet. In order to solve this technical problem, this embodiment is provided with a connecting nozzle 240 that is connected to the side air outlet shell 223 and exposed in the outer shell 100. The connecting nozzle 240 can be connected to an external exhaust hose, so that the user can use the exhaust hose to dry the instep, toes and other parts of the feet.

[0059] It is worth mentioning that the dryer 1000 is also equipped with a plug (not shown in the figure). The plug is compatible with the connector 240. When the user does not need to use the connector 240, the plug can be used to seal the connector 240.

[0060] refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the top shell 110 has a groove 115 on the side facing away from the bottom shell 120.

[0061] Specifically, when a user stands on the dryer 1000 after showering, water will slide off their body and drip onto the top shell 110. If this dripping water is not treated, the user will feel like they are standing on a pool of water, which is very uncomfortable. To solve this technical problem, this embodiment has a groove 115 on the side of the top shell 110 facing away from the bottom shell 120 to catch the dripping water, thereby improving user comfort.

[0062] refer to Figure 2 In a specific embodiment, the groove 115 is connected to the side wall 116 of the top shell 110. With this configuration, water entering the groove 115 can flow out of the groove 115 from the position connected to the side wall 116. Even if a lot of water falls from the user, there is no need to worry about the groove 115 being filled.

[0063] In some embodiments, the air outlet housing 220 is provided with a plurality of air outlet nozzles 225 on the side opposite to the bottom housing 120, and the plurality of air outlet nozzles 225 are inserted through the top housing 110, and all air outlet nozzles 225 are accommodated in the groove 115.

[0064] Specifically, if the air outlet 225 protrudes from the top surface of the top shell 110, the user may experience discomfort due to contact with the air outlet 225 when stepping on the top surface, requiring the user to be cautious when using the dryer 1000. To solve this technical problem, in this embodiment, the air outlet 225 is positioned corresponding to the groove 115, so that the air outlet 225 is housed within the groove 115, preventing the user from contacting the air outlet 225 when standing on the top shell 110. Users no longer need to be cautious when using the dryer 1000, resulting in an excellent user experience.

[0065] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the dryer 1000 also includes a gravity sensor 300 connected to the housing 100. The gravity sensor 300 is exposed on the side of the bottom housing 120 facing away from the top housing 110 and is electrically connected to the air supply mechanism 200.

[0066] By implementing this embodiment, when a user stands on the outer casing 100, gravity acts on the gravity sensor 300. The gravity sensor 300 is electrically connected to the air supply mechanism 200, so that when the gravity sensor 300 is triggered, the air supply mechanism 200 can be activated, thereby helping the user dry their body. Therefore, by implementing this embodiment, the user does not need to manually start the dryer 1000, making it highly convenient to use.

[0067] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art can modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and all such modifications and substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
