Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electrical appliances, and in particular to a dryer. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life, clothes dryers have become indispensable household appliances in homes and businesses, their functions expanding from traditional rapid drying to energy saving, garment care, and intelligent control. Currently, most dryers on the market are based on the principle of hot air circulation, using heating devices to dry clothes. However, existing technology generally suffers from a significant drawback: the dryer uses a single-chamber design, concentrating all clothes in the same chamber and using uniform hot air temperature, speed, and time to complete the drying process. This method cannot separate clothes for different areas, forcing different types and materials to be mixed during the drying process. Different fabrics (such as cotton, synthetic fibers, wool, and silk) have significantly different drying requirements. For example, thick fabrics (such as towels and jeans) require higher temperatures and longer drying times to evaporate deep moisture, while thin or sensitive materials (such as silk and cashmere) require lower temperatures and shorter drying times to avoid shrinkage or fiber damage. This forces users to manually process different clothes in batches, which is not only cumbersome but can also lead to energy waste (such as repeated start-ups and shutdowns) or damage to clothes due to misoperation. Therefore, existing drying equipment suffers from problems such as high energy consumption, low efficiency, and damage to clothing fibers. Utility Model Content

[0041] For ease of description, unless otherwise stated, the terms "up" and "down" in the following text refer to the same direction as "top" and "bottom". Figure 1 Its vertical direction is consistent.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a dryer includes a body 11, a door 12, a hot air blower 13, a support rod 14, a partition plate 15, and a hanging rod 16. The body 11 is a shell with heat preservation function. The hot air blower 13 is a conventional heating device that can deliver hot air. The partition plate 15 is a heat-resistant and heat-insulating plate. The hanging rod 16 is used to hang clothes. The support rod 14 is used to support the partition plate 15, the hanging rod 16, and the clothes on the hanging rod 16.

[0043] The body 11 has an arc-shaped groove 111, a pick-up / placement port 112, an exhaust port 113, and an air inlet 114. The lower part of the body 11 is cylindrical, and the upper part is hemispherical. The arc-shaped groove 111 is located on the lower part of the body 11, the pick-up / placement port 112 is located on the outer circumferential side of the body 11, and the pick-up / placement port 112 is an arc-shaped notch. The exhaust port 113 is located on the upper part of the body 11, and the air inlet 114 is near the bottom of the body 11. The arc-shaped groove 111 communicates with the outside of the body 11 through the pick-up / placement port 112, the exhaust port 113, and the air inlet 114. The door 12 is rotatably mounted on the body 11 via pivots, hinges, and other components to cover or open the pick-up / placement port 112. The door 12 is an arc plate. When the door 12 is away from the access opening 112, the access opening 112 is opened, and clothes can be taken out and put in through the access opening 112. When the door 12 is close to and covers the access opening 112, the door 12 and the inner wall of the arc groove 111 form a circular sealed cavity.

[0044] The hot air blower 13 is installed on the body 11 and located at the bottom of the arc groove 111. The hot air blower 13 has multiple air outlets 131 and an exhaust port communicating with the air inlet 114. All the air outlets 131 face upwards to deliver hot air. The exhaust port can draw air from outside the body 11 into the hot air blower 13, where heating modules such as heating elements inside the hot air blower 13 heat the air. Finally, the heated air is sent out from the air outlets 131 by the action of the fan inside the hot air blower 13. Different air outlets 131 can output air independently or not, for example, by installing a valve body inside the air outlet 131 to control the air output of some air outlets 131.

[0045] The support rod 14 is rotatably mounted on the hot air blower 13. The lower end of the support rod 14 is mounted on the hot air blower 13. The support rod 14 is vertically set and extends upward. Multiple air outlets 131 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support rod 14.

[0046] The partition plate 15 has a connecting end that is rotatably mounted on the support rod 14 and an abutting end that abuts against the inner wall of the arc groove 111. Multiple partition plates 15 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support rod 14, dividing the arc groove 111 into multiple drying zones 21. Each drying zone 21 has at least one air outlet 131, and the air outlet 131, drying zone 21, and exhaust outlet 113 are connected sequentially from bottom to top. The partition plate 15 is rotatably mounted on the side of the support rod 14 via the connecting end. The partition plate 15 can rotate relative to the support rod 14 to adjust the size of the drying zone 21. The abutting end of the partition plate 15 abuts against the inner wall of the arc groove 111, achieving separation and sealing of different drying zones 21. After the position of the partition plate 15 is adjusted, it can be locked using components such as a latch or a damping hinge. The force required to drive the support rod 14 to rotate relative to the hot air blower 13 is less than the force required to drive the partition plate 15 to rotate relative to the support rod 14. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the partition plate 15, the support rod 14 and the partition plate 15 rotate together. When the support rod 14 is locked by hand and the partition plate 15 is then driven to rotate, the partition plate 15 rotates relative to the support rod 14, thus adjusting the size of the drying zone 21. The hanging rod 16 is rotatably installed on the support rod 14 and located within the drying zone 21. Each drying zone 21 has at least one hanging rod 16 installed to hang the clothes.

[0047] In this embodiment, the size of the drying zone 21 can be adjusted according to the size and quantity of the clothes. After the distance between the partitions 15 is adjusted, the partitions 15 remain stationary as long as no external force exceeds the set limit. Then, clothes are placed in different drying zones 21 according to their type, and the door 12 is closed. Finally, the air outlet speed, air flow, air outlet temperature, and drying time of the drying zone 21 are adjusted according to the different types of clothes to avoid damage to the clothes. Before closing the door 12 for drying, the support rod 14 can be rotated to move the drying zone 21 with a shorter drying time to the side closer to the door 12. After the drying zone 21 with a shorter drying time is finished drying, the door 12 can be opened to remove the clothes in that drying zone 21, and other clothes waiting to be dried can be placed in. Due to the separation of the partitions 15, the clothes in other drying zones 21 will not suffer heat loss, thus improving the drying efficiency and reducing the loss of drying heat energy. Since the partition plate 15 has the functions of separation and heat insulation, when the support rod 14 is rotated to make the drying zone 21 that has been dried rotate to the pick-up and drop-off port 112, even if the un-dried drying zone 21 passes through the pick-up and drop-off port 112, a small amount of heat will be lost. However, the process is short. Compared with the existing dryer that uses a single cavity for drying, the heat loss when picking up and dropping clothes is greatly reduced.

[0048] In one embodiment, the hot air heater 13 includes a housing with a cavity, a fan disposed within the cavity, an air supply pipe disposed within the cavity, and a first valve body mounted on the air supply pipe. A heating element is disposed within the air supply pipe, and air outlets 131 are located on the upper surface of the housing. Multiple air supply pipes correspond one-to-one with multiple air outlets 131, and the air outlets 131 are connected to the fan via the air supply pipes. Thus, by controlling the first valve body, the airflow from the air outlets 131 can be controlled. When there are no clothes in the drying zone 21, the drying zone 21 can be kept dry. When there are clothes in the drying zone 21, depending on the quantity and type of clothes, the first valve body can be used to control the airflow from some or all of the air outlets 131 in the drying zone 21 to prevent excessively high temperatures from damaging the clothes.

[0049] In one embodiment, the dryer further includes a controller and a control panel 17. The hot air blower 13 is electrically connected to the control panel 17 via the controller. The control panel 17 has multiple air outlet buttons, each of which is electrically connected to at least one first valve body. Specifically, the housing of the hot air blower is disc-shaped, and air outlets 131 are located on the upper surface of the housing. Multiple air outlets 131 located on the same radius form an air outlet zone. Different air outlet zones are equipped with different labels or numbers, and the air outlet buttons correspond to the labels or numbers of the air outlet zones. By controlling the air outlets 131 of different air outlet zones through different air outlet buttons, the air outlet control of different drying zones 21 is achieved.

[0050] Optionally, the support rod 14 has an air supply channel connected to the fan, and the outer side of the support rod 14 has a side air outlet 141 connected to the air supply channel. A second valve body is installed inside each side air outlet 141. There are multiple side air outlets 141, some spaced out from top to bottom, and some spaced out along the circumference of the support rod 14. The side air outlets 141 spaced out along the circumference of the support rod 14 can correspond to different drying zones 21. Arranging the side air outlets 141 sequentially from top to bottom allows for drying of clothes within the same drying zone 21 at different heights, improving drying efficiency. The airflow control of the side air outlets 141 is achieved through the cooperation of the second valve body with the controller and control panel 17. The airflow control principle of the side air outlets 141 is similar to that of the main air outlet, and will not be elaborated here.

[0051] In one embodiment, a first rotating ring 18 is rotatably mounted on the support rod 14. There are multiple first rotating rings 18 arranged sequentially from top to bottom, and each of the multiple first rotating rings 18 corresponds to a multiple partition plates 15. The connecting end of the partition plate 15 is mounted on the first rotating ring 18, and the rotational mounting of the partition plate 15 is achieved through the first rotating ring 18.

[0052] Furthermore, a second rotating ring 19 is rotatably mounted on the support rod 14. Multiple second rotating rings 19 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, each corresponding to a different hanging rod 16. One end of each hanging rod 16 is mounted on a second rotating ring 19, allowing for rotatable mounting. By rotating the second rotating ring 19, the distance between the hanging rod 16 and the side partitions 15 becomes equal, ensuring the clothes hanging on the hanging rod 16 are centered. Simultaneously, because there are multiple second rotating rings 19 arranged sequentially from top to bottom, the hanging rod 16 can be at different heights to accommodate clothes hanging at different heights. The hanging rod 16 can be detachably mounted on any of the second rotating rings 19, allowing it to be installed at different heights depending on the height of the clothes.

[0053] Optionally, the hanging rod 16 is provided with multiple dividing strips and / or multiple dividing slots. The multiple dividing strips are spaced apart along the direction away from the support rod 14, and the multiple dividing slots are spaced apart along the direction away from the support rod 14. This application can provide dividing strips or dividing slots on the hanging rod 16, or it can provide dividing strips and dividing slots in combination on the hanging rod 16, so that the clothes hanging on the hanging rod 16 can be separated at a certain distance, avoiding the clothes from gathering together and improving drying efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, the abutting end of the partition plate 15 is provided with a sealing strip 20, which abuts against the inner wall of the arc groove 111 to achieve a seal, so that each drying zone 21 is independent and does not interfere with each other. In addition, a sealing strip can also be provided at the connecting end of the partition plate 15.

[0055] In one embodiment, infrared sensors are installed on the body 11 and / or the hot air blower 13 and / or the partition plate 15. The infrared sensors are electrically connected to the hot air blower 13 via a controller. There are multiple infrared sensors, each corresponding to a multiple drying zone 21. The infrared sensors can detect whether there are clothes or the quantity of clothes in each drying zone 21, thereby preventing hot air from being emitted from the drying zone 21 without clothes due to operational errors, thus avoiding heat waste.

[0056] Furthermore, humidity sensors and temperature sensors are installed on the main body 11 and / or the hot air blower 13 and / or the partition plate 15. Both humidity sensors and temperature sensors are electrically connected to the hot air blower 13 via a controller. There are multiple humidity sensors and temperature sensors, each corresponding to multiple drying zones 21. The humidity sensors can detect the humidity of the clothes in the drying zone 21, preventing over-drying and damage. The temperature sensors can prevent excessively high temperatures in the drying zone 21 from damaging the clothes.

[0057] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
