Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying wardrobe technology, and in particular to an energy-saving and high-efficiency drying wardrobe. Background Technology

[0002] Drying wardrobes can quickly dry damp clothes. They are equipped with a hot air blower that heats the drawn-in air and blows it into the wardrobe to dry the clothes. To improve drying speed and achieve energy saving, many drying wardrobes have added hot air circulation ducts, which guide the hot air inside the wardrobe to the hot air blower, preventing heat loss and thus enabling rapid drying. On the other hand, the circulation of hot air can achieve energy-saving effects. However, the above-mentioned circulating drying wardrobes often require a lot of ductwork on the outside or inside of the wardrobe, making the ductwork complex and the installation difficult. In addition, it can also result in thicker walls, reducing the internal space of the wardrobe. Utility Model Content

[0020] By setting multiple air intakes, the hot air circulation effect can be improved;

[0021] By setting multiple air vents, the clothes inside the drying chamber can be blown with air from multiple positions or angles, avoiding drying dead spots and improving the drying effect;

[0022] The flow divider allows hot air to be distributed in all directions within the drying chamber, preventing drying dead zones and improving drying efficiency.

[0023] The air outlet is equipped with an exhaust fan, which can actively draw out humid air and introduce dry hot air as soon as possible to improve the drying speed.

[0024] An exhaust vent is installed at the back of the cabinet, allowing the cabinet to be installed against a wall with ventilation holes, thus avoiding exposed pipes. Attached Figure Description
