One end of the housing is provided with an air outlet 2 for blowing out hot air for drying clothes. The air outlet 2 is elongated and opened along the width direction of the housing to increase the opening area of ​​the air outlet 2 and thus improve the drying air output efficiency.

[0040] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with an air inlet that communicates with the input end of the fan 4, the output end of the fan 4 is connected to the input end of the mounting sleeve 6, the heating element 5 is installed inside the mounting sleeve 6, the air guide assembly 7 is installed at the output end of the mounting sleeve 6, and the output direction of the air guide assembly 7 is towards the air outlet 2.

[0041] The control component 8 includes at least a control circuit board. The fan 4 and the heating element 5 are both electrically connected to the control component 8. The control component 8 includes, but is not limited to, controlling the opening and closing of the dryer.

[0042] The working principle of the dryer is as follows: the heating element 5 generates heat, and the fan 4 draws air through the heating element 5 to form hot air, which is then blown out from the air outlet 2 under the guidance of the air guide assembly 7 for drying clothes.

[0043] In some embodiments, the heating element 5 may include, but is not limited to, a PTC heating element, and the heating element 5 has a rectangular structure and is positioned directly opposite the air outlet 2;

[0044] The rectangular heating element 5 is used to correspond to the elongated structure of the air outlet 2, and the heating element 5 and the air outlet 2 are positioned directly opposite each other so that the generated hot air is directly blown out, avoiding heat loss.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the air guide assembly 7 includes a frame 701 and an air guide plate 702. The air guide plates 702 are arranged in multiple parallel sequences with air outlet gaps between them.

The length direction of the air guide plates 702 is arranged along the length direction of the air outlet 2.

[0046] The air guide assembly 7 is used to split the hot air output, resulting in a smoother airflow speed, reduced turbulence, and lower noise.

[0047] In some embodiments, the dryer 1 further includes a hanging part 9, which is connected to the end of the dryer 1 away from the air outlet 2 and is used to hang the dryer 1 to dry clothes. This is convenient and quick to use. The hanging part 9 includes, but is not limited to, flexible straps, hooks, etc., for hanging the dryer 1.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the rear housing 102 is provided with several support legs 10. When the support legs 10 of the dryer 1 are placed downwards on a table, stool or other high place, the dryer 1 can be laid flat, and the dryer 1 can be used as a heater, thus improving the practicality of the dryer 1.

[0049] A preferred embodiment of this utility model discloses a clothes hanging structure for a clothes dryer, such as... Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the clothes hanging structure 3 is installed on the side of the air outlet 2 of the dryer 1 for hanging clothes.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the garment hanging structure 3 is formed by bending a metal rod and includes a garment hanging part 301, a pull lug 302, a sliding part 303, and a fixing part 304;

[0051] The middle part of the hanging structure 3 is the hanging part 301. The hanging part 301 is bent into a wave-shaped structure, which can hang multiple garments and separate the multiple garments to avoid the clothes piling up and affecting the drying effect.

[0052] Both ends of the hanging part 301 are bent into pull ears 302. The pull ears 302 are held by hand to move the hanging structure 3, which is convenient and quick to operate.

[0053] The pull lug 302 bends outward to form a sliding part 303, which is a straight rod used to limit the sliding of the clothes hanging structure 3;

[0054] The end of the sliding part 303 is further bent to form a fixing part 304, which is used for positioning the clothes hanging structure 3.

[0055] In some embodiments, the clothes hanging structure 3 is formed by integrally bending a stainless steel metal rod.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting sleeve 6 has sliding grooves 11 on both sides inside. The upper end and lower end of the sliding groove 11 are respectively provided with a second limiting part 13 and a first limiting part 12, both of which are used to adapt to and limit the fixing part 304.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, when the hanging structure 3 is pushed upward, the fixing part 304 of the hanging structure 3 passes through the second limiting part 13 and is limited to the upper part of the second limiting part 13, thereby realizing the hiding and storage of the hanging part 301 of the hanging structure 3.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, when the hanging structure 3 is pulled down, the fixing part 304 of the hanging structure 3 passes through the second limiting part 13 and is limited to the upper part of the first limiting part 12, so that the hanging part 301 of the hanging structure 3 can be pulled out for hanging clothes. The fixing part 304 cannot pass through the first limiting part 12 to achieve the stability of hanging clothes and prevent the hanging structure 3 from falling off.

[0061] The retractable and concealed design of the clothes hanging structure 3 prevents the metal parts of the clothes hanging structure 3 from protruding when the dryer 1 is used as a heater or as a shoe dryer with other accessories, resulting in a neat and beautiful appearance.

[0062] In some embodiments, the length direction of the hanging part 301 is arranged along the length direction of the air outlet 2 and is directly opposite the heating element 5, which is used to increase the contact area between the hanging part 301 and the hot air, thereby improving the drying efficiency. Furthermore, the arrangement of the hanging part 301 along the length direction of the air outlet 2 increases the length of the hanging part 301, thereby increasing the amount of clothes that can be hung and resulting in high drying efficiency per cycle.

[0063] In some embodiments, the length of the hanging part 301 is greater than the length of the heating element 5, so that the pull ear 302 avoids the heating element 5, avoids the pull ear 302 being too hot and affecting the hand gripping the pull ear 302, and improves the user experience.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
