Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dryer technology, specifically to a portable dryer. Background Technology

[0002] A clothes dryer is a device used to dry clothes. For residents in southern regions, the biggest concern after rainy weather is that clothes will not dry in time, making clothes dryers a common household item.

[0003] With the widespread application of clothes dryers, their technological development trend is increasingly characterized by ease of use and diversified functions. For example, Chinese patent CN220767485U discloses a clothes dryer with a base and a cover. The base is equipped with a heating device for heating the gas inside the dryer and drying clothes. A hanging rack for hanging clothes to be dried is connected to the bottom of the cover. A flexible outer cover is also provided, with its top connected to the cover and its bottom connected to the base. The hanging rack and heating device are located within the space enclosed by the flexible outer cover, the base, and the cover. The hanging rack is located at the top of the flexible outer cover, and the heating device is located at the bottom or below the flexible outer cover. By separating the base and the cover of the clothes dryer and connecting them through the flexible outer cover, clothes can be placed inside for drying when the cover is lifted and the flexible outer cover is opened. When the cover is lowered, the flexible outer cover can be compressed, allowing the cover and base to close, thereby reducing the volume, making it easy to carry and store, and providing convenient operation and use. Chinese patent CN220413830U discloses a multi-level automatic clothes dryer, including a housing with an air inlet and an air inlet pipe connected to the air inlet; a heating component connected to the end of the air inlet pipe facing away from the housing, the heating component including at least two heating wires, and a control switch for controlling the heating of the heating wires. The control switch has a low heating state and a high heating state. In the high heating state, the number of heating wires heating is greater than that in the low heating state. A fan is connected to the side of the heating component facing away from the pipe. This clothes dryer can realize drying functions at different temperatures, thus adapting to the drying temperature of different fabrics and avoiding damage to clothes. Chinese patent CN216107724U discloses a household clothes dryer, including a main body and a cover that can be closed onto the main body. A horizontal drum and a DC motor are rotatably installed inside the main body. The DC motor is rotatably connected to the horizontal drum through a reducer. An air inlet is formed between the main body and the cover. An air inlet channel communicating with the inner cavity of the horizontal drum is provided on one side of the air inlet. A heating module is installed on the air inlet channel. The clothes dryer has a compact overall structure. The horizontal drum is rotated by the DC motor, and the heating module heats the air at the air inlet. The air is then blown into the horizontal drum in the air inlet channel by a fan to dry the clothes.

[0004] While the above technologies can effectively dry clothes, they are large in size, inconvenient to carry, and cannot be used to dry clothes inside a wardrobe. Utility Model Content
