Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dryer structure technology, and in particular to a dryer structure with a quick-release filter. Background Technology
[0002] A clothes dryer is designed to dry wet clothes. It consists of a casing, a lid, a drum, and a control knob. To use the dryer, place the spun-out clothes into the drum, close the lid, and start the machine by turning on the control knob. The heating element activates, heating the air. A fan blows the hot air into the drum, creating a continuous flow of heat. The motor, pulley, and reducer drive the drum to rotate. Built-in lifting plates repeatedly toss and tumble the clothes, ensuring the hot air penetrates all fibers for drying. The high-temperature hot air contacts the damp clothes, causing the moisture to evaporate quickly. The moisture is then expelled through the exhaust system.
[0003] In their daily work, the inventor discovered that in order to prevent fibers and lint from clothes from flowing through the air duct and causing blockages, a filter screen is usually installed at the air duct opening to filter fibers and lint. Users usually need to clean the filter screen regularly. However, since the filter screen is fixed to the machine casing with screws, and the space in the roller is limited, users cannot easily remove it with a screwdriver. In addition, there are multiple screws, which may make it take a long time to remove the filter screen. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that, in actual use, to prevent fibers and lint from clothing from entering the dryer through the air duct and causing blockage, a filter screen is usually installed at the air duct opening to filter fibers and lint. Users usually need to clean the filter screen regularly. However, since the filter screen is fixed to the machine casing with screws, and due to the limited space of the roller, users cannot easily remove it with a screwdriver. Furthermore, there are multiple screws, which may make it time-consuming to remove the filter screen. Therefore, this invention proposes a dryer structure with a quick filter screen removal function. To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a dryer structure with a quick-release filter screen, comprising a casing, a control knob and a cover installed on the front of the casing, a roller and a filter screen arranged on the inner wall of the casing, a quick-release assembly arranged between the filter screen and the casing, the filter screen being composed of two mounting shells and a filter element, the two mounting shells and the filter element being fixed by screws, an anti-spillage assembly arranged on the inner wall of the two mounting shells, the quick-release assembly including a fixing rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell, the fixing rod being slidably inserted into the casing, a plurality of evenly distributed pins being slidably inserted into the arc surface of the fixing rod, the pins being inserted into the casing, a pull rope being fixedly connected to one end of the pins, the pull rope passing through the fixing rod.
[0005] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting up quick-release components, when it is necessary to remove the filter screen, the user pulls the pull rope to separate the pin from the chassis, so that it is completely retracted into the fixed rod, and then drags the filter screen to remove it, thereby achieving the effect of removing the filter screen as quickly as possible.
[0006] Preferably, a first spring is fixedly connected to the left end of the pin, and the other end of the first spring is fixed to the fixing rod.
[0007] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the user pulls the cord, the pin separates from the chassis and is fully retracted into the fixing rod; when the cord is loosened, the first spring returns the pin to its original position.
[0008] Preferably, the right end of the pin has a sliding surface.
[0009] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the user drags the filter screen, causing the fixing rod to be inserted into the casing, and the pin is retracted into the fixing rod by means of the sliding surface. At this time, the first spring is compressed. After the fixing rod is fully inserted into the casing, the first spring takes the fixing rod back to its original position and inserts it into the casing.
[0010] Preferably, a first sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell, and the first sealing ring is used to seal between the mounting shell and the fixing rod.
[0011] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is to seal the space between the mounting shell and the fixing rod by setting the first sealing ring.
[0012] Preferably, a second sealing ring is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting shell, and a sealing groove is provided on the inner wall of the chassis.
[0013] The effect achieved by the above components is to seal the space between the mounting shell and the chassis by setting a second sealing ring and a sealing groove.
[0014] Preferably, the anti-spill assembly includes a baffle that is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing by means of a hinge, and a second spring is provided between the baffle and the mounting housing.
[0015] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when hot air comes out of the air duct, it blows the baffle open, causing the second spring to deform. After the air blows out, the second spring returns to its original position with the baffle, thus preventing the fibers on the filter element from falling into the drum when the filter screen is removed.
[0016] Preferably, a damping rod is rotatably connected to one side of the baffle, and the other end of the damping rod is rotatably connected to the mounting shell.
[0017] The effect achieved by the above components is to eliminate the second spring jitter as much as possible by setting up a damping rod.
[0018] Preferably, one end of the second spring is fixed to the baffle, and the other end of the second spring is fixed to the mounting shell.
[0019] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting a second spring, the baffle seals the inner wall of the mounting housing under normal conditions.
[0020] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] In this invention, by setting a quick-release component, when the filter needs to be removed, the user pulls the pull cord to separate the pin from the casing, allowing it to retract completely into the fixing rod. Then, the filter can be dragged to remove it, thus achieving the effect of removing the filter as quickly as possible. This solves the problem of preventing fibers and lint from clothes from flowing through the air duct and entering the dryer and causing blockage. Usually, a filter is installed at the air duct opening to filter fibers and lint. Users usually need to clean the filter regularly. However, because the filter is fixed to the casing with screws, and the space in the roller is limited, users cannot easily remove it with a screwdriver. In addition, there are multiple screws, which may make it take a long time to remove the filter. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a dryer structure with a quick-release filter includes a casing 1. A control knob 4 and a cover 5 are installed on the front of the casing 1. A roller 8 and a filter 6 are provided on the inner wall of the casing 1. A quick-release assembly 2 is provided between the filter 6 and the casing 1. The filter 6 is composed of two mounting shells 61 and a filter element 62. The two mounting shells 61 and the filter element 62 are fixed by screws. An anti-spillage assembly 3 is provided on the inner wall of the two mounting shells 61.
[0028] The following section will explain the specific settings and functions of quick-release component 2 and anti-spill component 3.
[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: the quick-release assembly 2 includes a fixing rod 21 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing 61. The fixing rod 21 is slidably inserted into the chassis 1. Multiple evenly distributed pins 22 are slidably inserted into the arc surface of the fixing rod 21. The pins 22 are inserted into the chassis 1. A pull rope 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the pin 22. The pull rope 23 passes through the fixing rod 21. By setting the quick-release assembly 2, when the filter screen 6 needs to be removed, the user pulls the pull rope 23 to separate the pins 22 from the chassis 1, so that they are completely retracted into the fixing rod 21. Then, the filter screen 6 can be dragged to remove it, thereby achieving the effect of quickly removing the filter screen 6 as much as possible. A first spring 24 is fixedly connected to the left end of the pin 22. The other end of the first spring 24 is fixed to the fixing rod 21. The user pulls the pull rope 23 to separate the pins 22 from the chassis 1, so that they are completely retracted into the fixing rod 21. Loosening the pull cord 23 causes the first spring 24 to return to its original position along with the pin 22. The right end of the pin 22 has a sliding surface 25. The user drags the filter screen 6, causing the fixing rod 21 to insert into the housing 1. The pin 22 then retracts into the fixing rod 21 with the help of the sliding surface 25. At this time, the first spring 24 is compressed. After the fixing rod 21 is fully inserted into the housing 1, the first spring 24 returns to its original position along with the fixing rod 21 and inserts it into the housing 1. The inner wall of the mounting shell 61 is fixedly connected to a first sealing ring 26. The first sealing ring 26 is used to seal between the mounting shell 61 and the fixing rod 21. By setting the first sealing ring 26, the mounting shell 61 and the fixing rod 21 are sealed. A second sealing ring 27 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting shell 61. The inner wall of the housing 1 has a sealing groove 7. By setting the second sealing ring 27 and the sealing groove 7, the mounting shell 61 and the housing 1 are sealed.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: the anti-spillage component 3 includes a baffle 31 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell 61 by means of a hinge. A second spring 32 is provided between the baffle 31 and the mounting shell 61. When hot air comes out of the air duct, it blows the baffle 31 open, causing the second spring 32 to deform. After the air stops blowing, the second spring 32 returns to its original position with the baffle 31, thereby preventing the fibers on the filter element 62 from falling into the roller 8 when the filter screen 6 is removed. A damping rod 33 is rotatably connected to one side of the baffle 31, and the other end of the damping rod 33 is rotatably connected to the mounting shell 61. By setting the damping rod 33, the vibration of the second spring 32 is eliminated as much as possible. One end of the second spring 32 is fixed to the baffle 31, and the other end of the second spring 32 is fixed to the mounting shell 61. By setting the second spring 32, the baffle 31 normally seals the inner wall of the mounting shell 61.
[0031] Working principle:
[0032] When using the dryer, place the spun clothes into the drum 8 of the casing 1, close the lid 5, and start the machine by turning on the control knob 4. The heating element is activated, heating the air. The exhaust fan blows the hot air into the drum 8, creating a continuous heat flow. The motor, pulley, and reducer drive the drum 8 to rotate. The built-in lifting plates in the drum 8 repeatedly toss and tumble the clothes, ensuring that the hot air penetrates all fibers to dry them. The high-temperature hot air comes into contact with the damp clothes, causing the moisture to evaporate quickly. The moisture is then expelled through the exhaust system. When it is necessary to remove the filter 6, the user pulls the pull cord 23, causing the pin 22 to separate from the casing 1 and retract completely into the fixing rod 21. Then, the filter 6 can be dragged to remove it, thus achieving the effect of removing the filter 6 as quickly as possible. The user pulls the pull cord 23, causing the pin 22 to separate from the casing 1 and retract completely into the fixing rod 21. Loosening the pull cord 23 causes the first spring 24 to pull the pin... Pin 22 resets, and the user drags the filter screen 6, causing the fixing rod 21 to insert into the housing 1. This causes the pin 22 to retract into the fixing rod 21 via the sliding surface 25. At this time, the first spring 24 is compressed. After the fixing rod 21 is fully inserted into the housing 1, the first spring 24, along with the fixing rod 21, resets and inserts into the housing 1. The first sealing ring 26 seals the space between the mounting shell 61 and the fixing rod 21. The second sealing ring 27 and the sealing groove 7 seal the space between the mounting shell 61 and the housing 1. When hot air comes out of the air duct, it blows the baffle 31, causing the baffle 31 to open and deform the second spring 32. After the air blows out, the second spring 32, along with the baffle 31, resets. This prevents fibers from the filter element 62 from falling into the roller 8 when the filter screen 6 is removed. The damping rod 33 is used to minimize the vibration of the second spring 32. The baffle 31 is normally sealed to the inner wall of the mounting shell 61 by the second spring 32.
