Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric dryer technology, specifically a foldable and retractable fabric heating dryer. Background Technology

[0002] A fabric dryer is a device used to remove moisture from fabrics, typically after washing and dehydration. It evaporates and dries moisture from clothing and other textiles, and is suitable for drying textiles, cotton, wool, knitwear, synthetic fibers, and other fabrics.

[0003] A household dryer is a household appliance primarily used to dry washed clothes quickly. It uses electric heating to evaporate the moisture from the clothes, making it suitable for situations where clothes are difficult to dry naturally, such as in northern winters and humid southern climates.

[0004] However, most existing traditional heating dryers adopt an integrated barrel-shaped or cabinet-shaped structure design, which cannot be folded in actual use, resulting in a large storage volume, high transportation costs, and inconvenience in storage when not in use, occupying a large storage space and bringing a poor user experience. Therefore, this utility model proposes a foldable storage type fabric heating dryer. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable and retractable fabric heating and drying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable and retractable fabric heating and drying device, comprising a heating base, a ring of limiting grooves on the upper surface of the heating base, a main hanging frame above the heating base, rotating seats fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the main hanging frame, a support frame rotatably connected between two rotating seats on the same side, an outer cover covering the support frame, several hanging rods rotatably installed inside the main hanging frame, a top cover hinged to the upper surface of the main hanging frame, and plug-in components fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the heating base, each plug-in component containing a support leg.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides an embodiment of a foldable, retractable fabric heating and drying device, comprising a heating base 1, a ring of limiting grooves 2 on the upper surface of the heating base 1, a main hanging frame 3 above the heating base 1, and rotating seats 4 fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the main hanging frame 3. Support frames 5 are rotatably connected between two rotating seats 4 on the same side. With this structural design, when the main hanging frame 3 needs to be raised, the support frames 5 on both sides can be manually rotated to raise the frame. After the support frames 5 are raised, they are engaged with the limiting grooves 2 of the heating base 1, thereby limiting the support frames 5 and preventing them from automatically rotating and retracting. In this state, the main hanging frame 3 can be rotated and raised by the support frames 5. For specific details, please refer to the appendix of the instruction manual. Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown;

[0025] In order to provide external structural cover for the erected drying space, the support frame 5 is equipped with an outer cover 6. The outer cover 6 is made of high temperature resistant fabric or other flexible materials. The flexible material allows the outer cover 6 to have a certain degree of foldability, which makes it convenient to fold and store.

[0026] The outer cover 6 can be installed on the outside of the support frame 5, thereby providing structural cover for the internal drying space and ensuring the normal heating and drying effect of the fabric inside.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the normal drying effect, several drying rods 8 are rotatably installed inside the main drying frame 3. The drying rods 8 can be used to dry fabrics that need to be heated or dried. When the drying rods 8 are not in use, they can be rotated and laid flat so that they are parallel to the main drying frame 3, which makes it convenient to lay the drying rods 8 flat and store them, reducing the space occupied by the height.

[0028] Furthermore, the upper surface of the main frame 3 is hinged to the upper cover 7, and the lower surface of the heating base 1 is fixedly installed with plug-in parts 15 at the four corners, and each plug-in part 15 is fitted with a support leg 16.

[0029] With this structural design, when the heating base 1 is in use, the four legs 16 can be inserted into the four connectors 15 respectively. In this way, the heating base 1 can be used on the ground by inserting the four legs 16. When the heating dryer of this utility model is folded and stored, the legs 16 can be removed by pulling them out. This can effectively reduce the height of the heating dryer and improve the space utilization efficiency.

[0030] In this embodiment, to ensure normal hot air heating and fabric drying effects, please refer to the appendix of the instruction manual for details. Figure 4as well as Figure 5 As shown, a fan 13 is fixedly installed at the center of the heating base 1, and a heater 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the fan 13 and inside the heating base 1.

[0031] This structural design allows the heating element 14 to heat the surrounding air. The heated air can then be blown upwards by the fan 13, thus creating upward-blowing hot air. This hot air can heat or dry the fabrics hanging on the drying rack 8, ensuring the normal fabric heating and drying needs of this utility model's heating and drying device and guaranteeing normal operating results.

[0032] Furthermore, a PCB circuit board 12 is fixedly mounted on the other side of the fan 13 and inside the heating base 1 for circuit control.

[0033] In this embodiment, an air outlet mesh plate 11 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the heating base 1, which can ensure normal hot air output.

[0034] In this embodiment, an aromatherapy box 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the top cover 7. An aromatherapy slot is provided on the aromatherapy box 9. When in actual use, the aromatherapy box 9 can be filled with aromatherapy for flavoring. When the fabric is heated or dried, the aromatherapy in the aromatherapy box 9 can be used to flavor the fabric and give it a certain drying fragrance.

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the normal ventilation and exhaust of hot air, air vents 10 are provided on both sides of the aromatherapy box 9 and on the outer wall of the upper cover 7.

[0036] Working principle: When using the heating dryer of this utility model, first insert the four support legs 16 into the four connectors 15 of the heating base 1 respectively. The heating base 1 can be used on the ground by inserting the four support legs 16. When the heating dryer of this utility model is folded and stored, the support legs 16 can be removed by pulling them out. This can effectively reduce the height of the heating dryer and improve the space utilization efficiency.

[0037] After the support legs 16 are installed, the main hanging frame 3 is raised. When raising the main hanging frame 3, the support frames 5 on both sides can be manually rotated to raise them. After the support frames 5 are raised, they are engaged into the limiting slots 2 of the heating base 1. The limiting slots 2 limit the support frames 5, preventing them from automatically rotating and retracting. In this state, the main hanging frame 3 can be raised by the support frames 5. For specific details, please refer to the instruction manual. Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown;

[0038] After the main hanging frame 3 is erected, the outer cover 6 is installed over the support frame 5. The final usage configuration is shown in the appendix of the instruction manual. Figure 1 As shown;

[0039] At this time, the fabrics that need to be heated or dried can be suspended by the hanging rod 8. Then, the pneumatic heating dryer of this utility model is started. After the heating dryer is started, the heating element 14 can heat the air in the internal environment. The heated air can be blown upward by the fan 13 to form hot air blowing upward. The hot air blown out can heat or dry the fabrics hanging on the hanging rod 8, thus ensuring the normal fabric heating and drying needs of the heating dryer of this utility model and ensuring normal use effect.

[0040] When the heating dryer needs to be folded and stored, the outer cover 6 can be removed first, and then the outer cover 6 can be folded. After that, the support frames 5 on both sides can be manually pried open so that the support frames 5 can be dislodged from the limiting slots 2. After the support frames 5 are dislodged from the slots, the support frames 5 and the drying rods 8 can be manually rotated and laid flat so that they are parallel to the main drying frame 3. This completes the flat folding of the support frames 5 and the drying rods 8. At this time, the main drying frame 3 can be directly stacked on the heating base 1.

[0041] Then, remove the four support legs 16 from the heating base 1 to complete the final folding and storage of the heating dryer of this utility model. The folded and stored state is shown in the appendix of the instruction manual. Figure 6 As shown.

[0042] Based on the above structural description, the heating dryer of this utility model, through the rotatable support frame 5, allows for the rotation and support of the main hanging frame 3, ensuring the normal support and use of the heating dryer. When not in use, the support frame 5 can be rotated and folded flat, allowing the main hanging frame 3 to be directly stacked on the heating base 1. This effectively reduces the height and floor space occupied by the heating dryer, providing a space-saving storage feature. In practical use, this heating dryer offers both support and... The foldable, flat-lay storage design allows it to be propped up when in use and laid flat when not in use, effectively reducing space occupancy. Compared to traditional integrated bucket-shaped or cabinet-shaped structures, this foldable, foldable heating and drying unit is extremely convenient to fold and store when not in use, effectively reducing space occupancy, saving storage space, and reducing transportation space and costs. Furthermore, its folded height and small footprint enhance the overall folding and storage effect, improving the user experience, making it more practical and flexible in its use.

[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
