Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hanging and drying technology for firefighters' firefighting protective clothing, and in particular to an integrated hanging and drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Firefighter protective clothing (hereinafter referred to as protective clothing) adopts a multi-layer composite structure design. The core objective is to provide flame retardancy, heat insulation, waterproof breathability, and mobility in extreme fire environments. The protective clothing fabric generally includes four layers: 1) outer layer (flame retardant protective layer), 2) waterproof and breathable layer (with one-way breathability), 3) heat insulation layer, and 4) comfort layer. In order not to damage the performance of the protective clothing during washing and drying, it is generally required that the washing and drying temperature of the clothing should not exceed 60°C. Current drying or air drying equipment has problems such as long drying time, damage to clothing caused by hanging clothes on clothes racks, many sorting and transportation times, high labor intensity, and high energy consumption. In order to solve the above problems, this patent has made optimizations based on the special characteristics of protective clothing.

[0003] Currently, the protective clothing drying racks on the market consist of a blower base and a drying rack, which are integrated and cannot be separated. When using the drying rack, it is generally moved from a linen cart to the washing machine, and then the protective clothing is hung on the drying rack from the linen cart. The drying rack is large and heavy, making it inconvenient to store and transport, and its weight also makes it difficult to move. In addition, the drying rack uses a single fan to blow air onto multiple air outlets, which can easily cause uneven airflow. The airflow is weaker at the cuffs and trouser legs of the protective clothing, resulting in low drying efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content
