Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing drying technology, specifically a clothing drying device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life, clothes drying devices have become common equipment in homes, dormitories, and hotels because they can effectively solve the problem of drying clothes caused by rainy weather and space constraints. Current hanging clothes drying devices are portable and do not take up floor space. However, there are many inconveniences in using existing hanging clothes drying devices. For example, the hanging structure of the drying device is generally located on the top of the main unit, and it can only be effectively installed by hanging it on a horizontal hanging rod. There is no horizontal hanging rod near the power source for the drying device, which makes it impossible to effectively hang the drying device.

[0003] Therefore, in order to improve the installation adaptability and ease of use of drying devices, it is necessary to develop a clothing drying device to solve the problems of existing hanging drying devices that can only be installed on horizontal hanging rods, resulting in low installation adaptability and low ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problem that existing suspended drying devices can only be suspended on horizontal hanging rods, resulting in reduced installation adaptability and ease of use, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A clothes drying device includes a control host and a drying hood connected to the control host. The control host includes a housing, a heating and air supply assembly disposed within the housing, a suspension structure disposed on the upper side of the housing, and a wall-mounting structure disposed on the side of the housing. The housing is also provided with an air inlet for air to enter the housing and an air outlet for air to exit the housing on one side.

[0006] Furthermore, the wall-mounting structure includes wall-mounting holes provided on the side of the housing.

[0007] Furthermore, the suspension structure includes a flexible sling connected to the upper side of the housing.

[0008] Furthermore, the wall-mounting structure also includes a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion disposed on the side of the housing, the first abutting portion being located above the second abutting portion, and the wall-mounting hole being located on the first abutting portion.

[0009] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a storage cavity for storing the drying cover, and the storage cavity is provided with a hanging rod for hanging clothes. The extension direction of the hanging rod is perpendicular to the side of the housing where the wall-mounting hole is located.

[0010] Furthermore, the suspension structure also includes a knob, a first fixing hole, and a second fixing hole at one end of the flexible strap. The knob is connected to the first fixing hole and can rotate relative to the first fixing hole. The suspension structure also includes a second fixing hole at the other end of the flexible strap, and the knob can be engaged in the second fixing hole to form a closed loop flexible strap.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two first abutment portions, which are symmetrically arranged on the same side of the housing in the horizontal direction, and the wall-mounting holes correspond one-to-one with the first abutment portions.

[0012] Furthermore, the storage cavity is provided with a slot, and the end of the drying cover connected to the control host is provided with a connecting ring. The connecting ring is provided with multiple engaging parts that cooperate with the slot. The slot is arranged around the connecting ring and corresponds one-to-one with the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the knob is also provided with a limiting part that cooperates with the second fixing hole. There are multiple second fixing holes, which are arranged along the length direction of the flexible sling. Both the second fixing hole and the limiting part are elongated. After the limiting part passes through the second fixing hole, the knob is rotated to make the limiting part lock in the second fixing hole, forming a closed loop flexible sling.

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated clothes drying device includes a control host 1 and a drying hood 2 connected to the control host 1. The control host 1 includes a housing 11, a heating and air supply assembly 3 disposed inside the housing 11, a suspension structure 4 disposed on the upper side of the housing 11, and a wall-mounting structure 5 disposed on the side of the housing 11. The housing 11 also has an air inlet 112 for air to enter the housing 11 and an air outlet 113 for air to exit the housing 11 on one side.

[0025] In this invention, the control host is the core component of the drying device, including a heating and air supply assembly and a control circuit. The drying hood is connected to the control host and is used to wrap the clothes to be dried, forming a closed or semi-closed hot air circulation space. Furthermore, the shell is an external protective structure that also supports the internal components. The heating and air supply assembly is responsible for heating and supplying air and is the core power source for realizing the drying function. Specifically, it includes a heating assembly 32 and a fan 31. In addition, the suspension structure is located on the upper side of the shell and is used to hang on a horizontal suspension rod, such as a clothes drying rod. The wall-mounting assembly is located on the side of the shell and is used for wall-mounted installation. In summary, by setting the suspension structure on the upper side and the wall-mounting structure on the side of the control host, the drying device can not only be installed and fixed by hanging on a horizontal rod, but also by hanging on a hook on the wall through the wall-mounting structure. This allows users to flexibly choose the installation method according to the environment, solving the problem that traditional hanging drying devices can only rely on horizontal hanging and are limited in installation. This effectively improves the installation flexibility and ease of use of the drying device.

[0026] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are two fans 31 distributed horizontally on the upper side of the heating component 32. When the control host is running, the fans 31 rotate, and external air enters the housing through the air inlet and is blown towards the heating component 32 under the action of the fans 31. After being heated by the heating component 32, it is blown towards the storage cavity 111 and finally discharged from the control host 1 through the air outlet and blown into the drying hood 2 to dry the clothes.

[0027] Furthermore, the wall-mounting structure 5 includes a wall-mounting hole 51 provided on the side of the housing 11.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the wall-mounting hole on the side of the housing is used to cooperate with the wall-embedded parts or hooks to achieve wall-mounting installation. This provides a simple yet practical wall-mounting method, allowing users to choose the installation method according to the actual environment. The wall-mounting hole does not occupy extra space, keeping the overall control unit simple and beautiful. Compared with the traditional method that only relies on the top hanging rod, it further improves the installation adaptability of the drying device, especially suitable for scenarios without beams or clotheslines, such as small apartments, rental houses, and hotels. When users need to fix the clothes drying device to the wall, they only need to hang the control unit on the hooks or expansion screws pre-installed on the wall through the wall-mounting hole. This effectively improves the installation flexibility of the drying device, allowing it to be used for hanging on a clothesline or directly installed on the wall, meeting the needs of different users.

[0029] Furthermore, the wall-mounting structure 5 also includes a first abutting part 52 and a second abutting part 53 disposed on the side of the housing 11, the first abutting part 52 being located above the second abutting part 53, and the wall-mounting hole 51 being located in the first abutting part 52.

[0030] In this invention, the first abutment and the second abutment are used to support and position the control unit. The first abutment is located above the second abutment and the wall-mounting hole is located on the first abutment. This design means that the first abutment is the main load-bearing point of the hook or screw. When the user hangs the control unit on the wall, the first abutment is hung on the hook or screw through the wall-mounting hole, while the second abutment located below the first abutment can be pressed against the wall, providing support and preventing shaking, thus further improving the stability and safety of the drying device in the wall-mounted state.

[0031] Furthermore, the housing 11 is provided with a storage cavity 111 for storing the drying cover 2, and the storage cavity 111 is provided with a hanging rod 6 for hanging clothes. The extension direction of the hanging rod 6 is perpendicular to the side of the housing 11 where the wall-mounting hole 51 is located.

[0032] In this invention, the housing has a storage cavity for storing the drying cover, specifically located in the bottom area of ​​the control unit. When the user does not need to use the drying device, the drying cover can be folded and compressed into the storage cavity for easy carrying. Furthermore, the storage cavity includes a clothes-hanging rod. The clothes-hanging rod extends horizontally, perpendicular to the side of the housing with the wall-mounting hole. Since, under normal circumstances, when clothes are hung on the clothes-hanging rod, the long side of the clothes and hangers extends perpendicular to the length of the clothes-hanging rod, the extension direction of the clothes-hanging rod is set to be perpendicular to the housing with the wall-mounting hole. The design of the drying device's side panel effectively avoids conflicts between the hanging space and the wall-mounted state. This is especially important when the control unit is designed to be small for easy portability. If the clothesline extends parallel to the side of the housing containing the wall-mounting hole, and the control unit is small, clothes hung on the clothesline will extend horizontally beyond the control unit's sides, causing the wall-mounted drying device or clothes inside the drying hood to tilt. Therefore, setting the clothesline's extension direction perpendicular to the side of the housing containing the wall-mounting hole effectively improves the structural rationality of the drying device.

[0033] Furthermore, there are two first abutment portions 52, which are symmetrically arranged on the same side of the housing 11 in the horizontal direction, and the wall-mounting holes 51 correspond one-to-one with the first abutment portions 52.

[0034] When a clothes dryer is wall-mounted, one side of the control unit will abut against the wall. If there is only one connection point between the control unit and the wall hook, the dryer is prone to shaking due to external impact, causing clothes inside the drying hood to fall off. Therefore, this invention addresses this by setting two first abutment parts, located on the same side of the housing and symmetrically arranged horizontally. Each first abutment part has a corresponding wall-mounting hole. When the user hangs the clothes dryer on the wall hook or mounting bracket through the wall-mounting hole, the two first abutment parts can jointly bear the weight of the dryer and form a three-point support structure with the lower second abutment part, thereby significantly improving the overall installation stability and anti-shaking ability. It is also suitable for scenarios requiring long-term wall-mounting, such as home bathrooms and hotel rooms, which not only improves the safety and stability of the dryer but also enhances the user experience.

[0035] Furthermore, the storage cavity 111 is provided with a slot 1111, and the drying cover 2 is provided with a connecting ring 7 at one end connected to the control host 1. The connecting ring 7 is provided with a plurality of engaging parts 71 that cooperate with the slot 1111. The engaging parts 71 are arranged around the connecting ring 7 and correspond one-to-one with the slot 1111.

[0036] To improve portability, some dryers on the market integrate the main unit and the drying cover into one unit to prevent the loss of parts when carrying them out. However, this fixed integrated design has drawbacks such as the inability to replace the drying cover when it is damaged and the fixed size of the drying cover.

[0037] In this invention, the drying hood has a connecting ring at one end near the control unit. The connecting ring has multiple engaging parts. The connecting ring can be a stainless steel ring, and the engaging parts can be a protruding structure, an elastic buckle, or a hook-shaped mechanism. The inner wall of the storage cavity has corresponding slots. When the user inserts the drying hood into the storage cavity, they only need to align the engaging parts on the connecting ring with the slots to achieve a secure connection. If disassembly is required, it can be separated by simply rotating it in the opposite direction or pulling it gently. This connection structure enables a detachable connection between the drying hood and the control unit. Users can disassemble the drying hood for cleaning or replace it with a drying hood of different sizes, effectively improving the ease of use and flexibility of the drying device.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Example 2, based on Example 1, also has the following implementation method:

[0040] The suspension structure 4 includes a flexible sling 41 connected to the upper side of the housing 11.

[0041] In this invention, the flexible sling provides a flexible suspension structure for the drying device. Specifically, the flexible sling can be made of rubber, elastic fabric, or other flexible materials with tensile properties, and has good tensile and load-bearing properties. The flexible sling can be used to hang the entire control host on a clothesline, hook, or other support structure. Compared with rigid traditional hooks, the flexible sling has better adaptability and cushioning ability.

[0042] Furthermore, the suspension structure 4 also includes a knob 42, a first fixing hole 43, and a second fixing hole 44 at one end of the flexible strap 41. The knob 42 is connected to the first fixing hole 43 and can rotate relative to the first fixing hole 43. The suspension structure 4 also includes a second fixing hole 44 at the other end of the flexible strap 41. The knob 42 can be engaged in the second fixing hole 44 to form a closed annular flexible strap 41.

[0043] In this invention, the suspension structure is further provided with a knob, a first fixing hole, and a second fixing hole. One end of the flexible strap is provided with the first fixing hole, through which the knob is movably connected and can rotate relative to it. The other end of the flexible strap is provided with the second fixing hole. When the user needs to suspend the clothes drying device on a support structure, the flexible strap can be pulled to insert the knob into the second fixing hole, thereby forming a closed ring structure. This structure can flexibly adapt to support structures such as clothes drying rods and bed frames of different sizes, effectively improving the adaptability, stability, and portability of the clothes drying device in various hanging scenarios.

[0044] Furthermore, the knob 42 is also provided with a limiting part 421 that cooperates with and connects to the second fixing hole 44. There are multiple second fixing holes 44, which are arranged along the length direction of the flexible sling 41. Both the second fixing hole 44 and the limiting part 421 are elongated. After the limiting part 421 passes through the second fixing hole 44, the knob 42 is rotated so that the limiting part 421 is engaged in the second fixing hole 44, forming a closed loop flexible sling 41.

[0045] In this invention, the limiting part is the portion on the knob that mates with the second fixing hole. Both the limiting part and the second fixing hole are elongated structures. In use, the limiting part is passed through the second fixing hole, and then the knob is rotated to lock the limiting part into the second fixing hole, thereby preventing it from falling off. This achieves a closed-loop, anti-detachment locking function, improving the safety and reliability of the suspension structure. Furthermore, multiple second fixing holes are provided and are arranged along the length of the flexible sling. This design allows for multi-level adjustment by adjusting the knob to insert into different second fixing holes, shortening the suspension length and effectively improving the ease of use of the drying device.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] Example 3, based on Example 1, also has the following implementation method:

[0048] The control host 1 includes a storage cover 8 connected to the housing 11. The storage cover 8 covers the air outlet 113, which is located on the lower side of the housing 11. The heating and air supply assembly 3 and the air outlet 113 are located on the upper and lower sides of the storage cavity 111, respectively.

[0049] In this invention, the control unit also includes a storage cover for covering the air outlet located on the lower side of the housing. The air outlet is located at the bottom of the housing. Specifically, the storage cover can be connected to the housing by means of hinges, buckles, or slide rails. When the user needs to use the clothes drying device, simply open the storage cover to allow the hot air generated by the heating and air supply component to be delivered to the inside of the drying hood through the air outlet. When not in use, closing the storage cover can effectively prevent dust from entering the air outlet and the inside of the housing, keeping the drying device clean. The air supply heating component is located in the upper area of ​​the storage cavity, while the air outlet is located in the lower area, forming a hot air flow path from top to bottom, improving heat utilization and drying efficiency.

[0050] The above examples are merely illustrative of the technical content of this utility model to facilitate reader understanding, but do not imply that the implementation of this utility model is limited to these embodiments. Any technical extensions or re-creations made based on this utility model are protected by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims.
