[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution for a washing machine drying tunnel structure: it includes a washing machine drying tunnel body 1, which includes an upper drying tunnel plate 2 and a lower drying tunnel plate 3. The two sides of the upper drying tunnel plate 2 and the lower drying tunnel plate 3 are fixedly connected by a connecting part. The upper drying tunnel plate 2 and the lower drying tunnel plate 3 have a hollow structure, and the interior of the washing machine drying tunnel body 1 forms a ventilation duct 4 through the hollow structure. A fan 5 is connected to one side of the washing machine drying tunnel body 1. A heating tube 6 and a detachable filter screen mechanism 7 are fixedly installed in the ventilation duct 4. The detachable filter screen mechanism 7 is located on one side of the heating tube 6. The detachable filter screen mechanism 7 includes a filter screen fixing groove 8 and a filter screen 9. The filter screen 9 is inserted into the filter screen fixing groove 8, and the entrance of the filter screen fixing groove 8 is opened on the upper drying tunnel plate 2.

[0024] Furthermore, the filter screen fixing groove 8 is disposed on the inner wall side of the upper drying tunnel plate 2 and the lower drying tunnel plate 3, and a top block 10 is movably installed at the bottom of the filter screen fixing groove 8, and a spring 18 is installed at the bottom of the top block 10.

[0025] Furthermore, two sets of baffles 11 are movably provided on both sides of the inlet of the filter screen fixing groove 8, and the bottom of the baffles 11 is slidably connected to the upper drying plate 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the stop block 11 can limit the filter screen 9. When the stop block 11 moves towards the center, it can fix the filter screen 9 to the main body 1 of the washing machine drying channel. When the stop block 11 is pushed outward, it can be convenient to remove the filter screen 9.

[0027] Furthermore, the filter screen 9 includes an installation frame 12, a metal mesh 13, and a pick-and-place component 14. The metal mesh 13 is fixedly installed inside the installation frame 12, and the pick-and-place component 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation frame 12.

[0028] Furthermore, slots 15 are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the picking and placing component 14, and the top of the filter screen 9 is limited and fixed by the stop block 11.

[0029] In this embodiment, the stop block 11 can move into the slot 15 to limit and fix the filter screen 9.

[0030] Furthermore, an operation hole 16 is provided in the middle position of the picking and placing component 14 to facilitate picking and placing the filter screen 9.

[0031] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting frame 12 contacts the top block 10, and the top block 10 is equipped with three sets of components.

[0032] In this embodiment, the top block 10 and the spring 18 can support the filter screen 9, preventing the filter screen 9 from being inconvenient to remove during installation or use. At the same time, they can also ensure a tight fit between the filter screen 9 and the filter screen fixing groove 8, thereby improving the filtration effect.

[0033] Furthermore, a terminal block 17 is connected to one side of the heating tube 6, and the terminal block 17 is fixedly installed on the outside of the washing machine drying tunnel body 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the terminal 17 is provided to facilitate the power supply operation of the heating tube 6, and the terminal 17 and the heating tube 6 are connected by a wire.

[0035] Working principle: During use, the fan 5 operates, drawing in outside air through the ventilation duct 4. After being heated by the heating element 6, the air is blown into the washing machine to dry the clothes inside. Simultaneously, the removable filter mechanism 7 filters the air entering the ventilation duct 4, preventing lint and other impurities generated during washing from entering the main body of the washing machine's drying chamber 1. This keeps the interior of the main body of the washing machine's drying chamber 1 clean and prevents bacterial growth.

[0036] When the filter screen 9 needs cleaning or replacement, the user can lift the pick-and-place component 14 upwards through the operating hole 16. At this time, pushing the stop block 11 outwards will cause it to slide on the upper drying tray 2, thus releasing the restriction on the filter screen 9. The user can then remove the filter screen 9 from the filter screen fixing slot 8 for cleaning or replacement. After cleaning or replacement, the user reinserts the filter screen 9 into the filter screen fixing slot 8. At this time, the stop block 11, under the action of the spring 18, will limit and fix the filter screen 9, thus completing the replacement or installation of the filter screen 9.

[0037] In addition, the top block 10 and the spring 18 can support the filter screen 9, preventing the filter screen 9 from being difficult to remove during installation or use. At the same time, they can also ensure a tight fit between the filter screen 9 and the filter screen fixing groove 8, thereby improving the filtration effect.
