[0054] With the improvement of living standards, household dryers have gradually become an important device for clothing care due to their convenience. Traditional dryers remove moisture by drying at high temperatures, but prolonged high temperatures can easily cause wrinkles in clothes, requiring additional ironing. To address this, existing technologies have introduced ultrasonic atomization wrinkle removal solutions: high-frequency oscillating atomizing plates decompose water into micron-sized water mist, which is sprayed onto the surface of the clothing to moisten the fibers, and then combined with the drying process to smooth out wrinkles. However, this technology has significant drawbacks: during the dryer's operation, lint, debris, and other impurities generated by the friction of clothes inside the drum are easily carried by the airflow and adhere to the exposed atomizing plate surface. Long-term accumulation can lead to a decrease in atomization efficiency or even malfunction, requiring users to frequently disassemble and clean, seriously affecting the user experience and the lifespan of the device.

[0055] Existing solutions mostly rely on filter interception or regular cleaning and maintenance. However, filter designs can hinder atomization diffusion and cannot completely isolate micron-sized impurities. Frequent disassembly and reassembly of the atomization component increases operational complexity and maintenance costs. Therefore, an innovative protective structure is needed that can effectively block lint contamination in dynamic drying environments while ensuring atomization efficiency, thereby improving the reliability of the wrinkle removal function of dryers and enhancing the user experience.

[0056] This application provides a clothes drying device to solve the problem that the atomizing device of existing clothes drying devices easily accumulates lint and malfunctions. The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-11 Please provide an explanation.

[0057] The clothes drying equipment provided in the embodiments of this application refers to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a main body 100, an atomizing device 200, a magnetic chuck 301, and an electromagnetic drive assembly 300. The main body 100 forms a drying chamber 101. The atomizing device 200 is disposed on the main body 100, and the atomizing port 210 of the atomizing device 200 faces the drying chamber 101. The magnetic chuck 301 is disposed corresponding to the atomizing port 210. The electromagnetic drive assembly 300 is disposed on the main body 100 and is used to drive the magnetic chuck 301 to switch between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the magnetic chuck 301 covers the atomizing port 210; in the second position, the magnetic chuck 301 opens the atomizing port 210.

[0058] Understandably, in this embodiment, the device body 100 forms a drying chamber 101 for accommodating clothes that need to be dried. An atomizing device 200 is mounted on the device body 100, with its atomizing port 210 facing the drying chamber 101. The atomizing device 200 can convert water into fine water mist particles through ultrasonic vibration or other means for humidifying and wrinkle-removing the clothes. The electromagnetic drive assembly 300 controls the movement of the magnetic suction member 301, and can drive the magnetic suction member 301 to switch between a first position (covering the atomizing port 210) and a second position (opening the atomizing port 210) according to instructions.

[0059] When the atomizing function is not needed, the electromagnetic drive assembly 300 drives the magnetic suction component 301 to move to the first position, completely covering the atomizing port 210. At this time, the airflow inside the drying chamber 101 cannot directly contact the atomizing plate, thus preventing lint, debris, and other impurities from adhering to its surface. When the atomizing function is needed, the electromagnetic drive assembly 300 drives the magnetic suction component 301 to move to the second position, disengaging from the atomizing port 210. Water mist is then sprayed through the atomizing port 210 onto the clothes inside the drying chamber 101, achieving humidification and wrinkle removal.

[0060] The design of the magnetic suction component 301 and the electromagnetic drive assembly 300 solves the technical problem of traditional dryer atomizing devices 200 being easily clogged by impurities. Because the atomizing port 210 is effectively isolated and protected, the atomizing plate can remain clean for a long time, its micropores are not easily clogged, and the atomization efficiency is maintained stably. This greatly extends the service life of the atomizing device 200, reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacement, and eliminates the need for frequent disassembly of the atomizing device 200 for cleaning. This avoids cumbersome operating procedures, saves time and effort, and significantly improves the user experience.

[0061] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figures 2-4 As shown, the electromagnetic drive assembly 300 includes a magnetic element 310 and an electromagnet 320 disposed opposite to each other, and a magnetic attractor 301 disposed between the magnetic attractor 301 and the electromagnet 320; when the electromagnet 320 is de-energized, the magnetic element 310 attracts the magnetic attractor 301 to move toward the magnetic element 310, thereby driving the magnetic attractor 301 to move to a first position; when the electromagnet 320 is energized, the electromagnet 320 attracts the magnetic attractor 301 to move toward the electromagnet 320, thereby driving the magnetic attractor 301 to move to a second position.

[0062] In this embodiment, the magnetic component 310 is a permanent magnet with fixed magnetism, and it is fixedly mounted on the device body 100 or the atomizing device 200. The electromagnet 320 is a device whose magnetism can be controlled by an electric current. The magnetic attracting component 301 is located between the magnetic component 310 and the electromagnet 320, and is usually made of a magnetically conductive material (such as iron), or it is a permanent magnet with weak magnetism or that can be controlled by a stronger magnetic field, and can be attracted by the magnetic component 310 and the electromagnet 320.

[0063] When the electromagnet 320 is de-energized, it does not generate a magnetic field. The magnetic component 310 attracts the magnetic component 301. Under this attraction, the magnetic component 301 moves to a position close to the magnetic component 310. This position is precisely where the magnetic component 301 can completely cover the atomizing port 210 (first position). At this time, the atomizing port 210 is closed, and impurities such as lint and debris in the drying chamber 101 cannot directly contact the atomizing plate.

[0064] When the atomization function needs to be activated, the control unit powers the electromagnet 320. The electromagnet 320 generates a magnetic field, which exerts a stronger attraction on the magnetic component 301 (or at least an attraction in a different direction from that of the magnetic component 310, sufficient to overcome the attraction of the magnetic component 310). The attraction of the electromagnet 320 overcomes the attraction of the magnetic component 310, "pulling" the magnetic component 301 towards itself. Under the attraction of the electromagnet 320, the magnetic component 301 overcomes the attraction of the magnetic component 310 and moves to a position close to the electromagnet 320. This position is precisely where the magnetic component 301 is completely removed, exposing the atomization port 210 (second position). At this time, the atomization port 210 is opened, and the atomizing device 200 can work normally, producing water mist for clothing care.

[0065] Compared to complex mechanical linkages or gear structures, this magnetic drive method reduces physical contact and friction between moving parts, lowers wear and failure rates, and improves the reliability and service life of the electromagnetic drive assembly 300. Furthermore, utilizing the magnetic field of a permanent magnet as the primary holding force, the magnetic attractor 301 can automatically remain in the first position most of the time. The electromagnet 320 is only energized when it is necessary to switch the magnetic attractor 301 from the first position to the second position (i.e., when atomization is required). This on-demand power supply significantly reduces the operating time of the electromagnet 320, thereby reducing the overall energy consumption of the device.

[0066] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the electromagnetic drive assembly 300 includes a first electromagnet 330 and a second electromagnet 340 disposed opposite to each other, and a magnetic attractor 301 disposed between the first electromagnet 330 and the second electromagnet 340; when the first electromagnet 330 is energized, it attracts the magnetic attractor 301 to move toward the first electromagnet 330, thereby driving the magnetic attractor 301 to move to a first position; when the second electromagnet 340 is energized, it attracts the magnetic attractor 301 to move toward the second electromagnet 340, thereby driving the magnetic attractor 301 to move to a second position.

[0067] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the magnetic component 310 does not use a permanent magnet but an electromagnet 320. By controlling the energization and de-energization of the first electromagnet 330 and the second electromagnet 340, the same effect of switching the magnetic component 301 between the first position and the second position can be achieved.

[0068] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the electromagnetic drive assembly 300 also includes a guide rail 350, which is disposed on the device body 100, and the magnetic suction component 301 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 350.

[0069] The main function of the guide rail 350 is to guide the movement direction of the magnetic chuck 301, ensuring that it slides along a predetermined path rather than moving randomly. The guide rail 350 allows for more precise control of the magnetic chuck 301's range of motion and position, and also increases the stability of its movement, reducing wobbling and vibration during electromagnetic force switching or movement. The guide rail 350 provides physical support and constraint for the magnetic chuck 301, helping to bear its own weight or other forces. Physical limits can be set at both ends or specific positions of the guide rail 350 to prevent the magnetic chuck 301 from moving out of the predetermined range.

[0070] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, the magnetic suction component 301 is provided with a rotating shaft 302, which is located on the outside of the magnetic suction component 301 and is rotatably mounted on the device body 100.

[0071] In this embodiment, the magnetic chuck 301 can be a disk, an elliptical disk, or a component of a certain shape with an eccentric hole. This eccentric hole is used to mount the rotating shaft 302, meaning the mounting position of the rotating shaft 302 is off-center from the geometric center of the magnetic chuck 301. The attractive force generated by the magnetic component 310 and the electromagnet 320 can drive the magnetic chuck 301 to rotate, thereby switching the magnetic chuck 301 between a first position and a second position.

[0072] When the electromagnet 320 is de-energized, the magnetic component 310 attracts the magnetic attractor 301, causing it to rotate to a stable first position (i.e., the position where the magnetic attractor 301 is close to the magnetic component 310). When the electromagnet 320 is energized, the electromagnet 320 attracts the magnetic attractor 301, causing it to rotate to another stable second position (i.e., the position where the magnetic attractor 301 is close to the electromagnet 320). Compared to the linear motion guide rail 350 design, the rotary motion structure is simpler, occupies less space, and has a more compact structure.

[0073] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic component 310 has a first arcuate portion 311, which matches the outer contour of the magnetic attractor 301; in an optional embodiment, the electromagnet 320 has a second arcuate portion 321, which matches the outer contour of the magnetic attractor 301.

[0074] The first arc-shaped portion 311 and the second arc-shaped portion 321 are arc-shaped portions on the magnetic element 310 and the electromagnet 320 that match the outer contour of the magnetic attractor 301. When the magnetic element 310 and / or the electromagnet 320 have arc-shaped portions that match the outer contour of the magnetic attractor 301, they can attract the magnetic attractor 301 more precisely and control its movement.

[0075] The curved portion can increase the contact area between the magnetic component 310 and / or the electromagnet 320 and the magnetic attractor 301, thereby enhancing the attraction. With a precisely matched curved portion, the position of the magnetic attractor 301 can be controlled more precisely, allowing it to remain more stably in the first or second position.

[0076] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the drying equipment is also equipped with a return air pipe 400, which is connected to the atomizing device 200 and is used to remove the bubbles generated during the atomization process of the atomizing device 200.

[0077] When the atomizing device 200 is working, the atomizing plate atomizes water into tiny droplets. During this process, due to the surface tension of the liquid and the entrainment of air, tiny bubbles are generated on the surface of the atomizing plate. If these bubbles cannot be expelled in time, they will accumulate inside the cavity of the atomizing device 200. As the bubbles accumulate, the pressure inside the cavity will gradually increase. When the water pressure inside the cavity is too high, there is a risk of water leakage from the atomizing plate, which will affect the atomization effect and may even damage the atomizing plate.

[0078] In this embodiment, the return air pipe 400 is a conduit with one end connected to the atomizing device 200 and the other end leading to the outside of the atomizing device 200. Its function is to remove the air bubbles generated by the atomizing device 200, effectively solving the problem of air bubble generation during atomization and preventing the risk of increased water pressure inside the chamber and water leakage from the atomizing plate. This design improves the stability and reliability of the atomizing device 200, extends its service life, and enhances the overall performance of the clothes drying equipment.

[0079] The return air pipe 400 provides a channel to guide these air bubbles out of the atomizing device 200, thereby preventing bubble accumulation, maintaining normal pressure within the chamber, and avoiding water leakage due to excessive water pressure. The diameter and length of the return air pipe 400 need to be designed according to the air production of the atomizing device 200 and the overall structure of the equipment to ensure that the bubbles can be discharged smoothly. The connection point of the return air pipe 400 can be located near the area where the bubbles are generated, such as near the atomizing plate. The design of the return air pipe 400 needs to prevent liquid from being discharged with the air bubbles, which can be achieved by installing a liquid seal, a one-way valve, or other structures in the return air pipe 400.

[0080] In related technologies, since the atomizing device 200 requires the user to manually add purified water, and the space inside the dryer is limited, how to place the water box is also a problem.

[0081] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the clothes drying equipment includes a first water storage box 500 and a condensate box 600. The first water storage box 500 and the condensate box 600 are arranged side by side, and the first water storage box 500 is connected to the atomizing device 200 through a pipeline.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first water storage box 500 is used to store purified water added by the user, serving as the water source for the atomizing device 200. The first water storage box 500 is connected to the atomizing device 200 via a pipeline. The first water storage box 500 can be positioned at a relatively high location (relative to the atomizing device 200), for example, side-by-side with the condensate box 600. Because the first water storage box 500 is positioned higher, water flows naturally into the atomizing device 200 through the pipeline under gravity, eliminating the need for an additional water pump 800, thus reducing costs and energy consumption. Furthermore, the side-by-side arrangement of the first water storage box 500 and the condensate box 600 allows for more efficient use of the limited space inside the dryer, improving space utilization.

[0083] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the main body of the equipment 100 is provided with a front support 110. The clothes drying equipment also includes a second water storage box 700 and a water pump 800. The second water storage box 700 is installed on the front support 110. The water pump 800 is connected to the second water storage box 700 and the atomizing device 200 to deliver water from the second water storage box 700 to the atomizing device 200.

[0084] In this embodiment, the front support 110 is a support structure at the front of the device body 100 (near the user side). The second water storage box 700 is installed on the front support 110, so that the user can easily take it out to add water after opening the door without opening the main body of the dryer.

[0085] It should be noted that the atomizing device 200 only needs to be equipped with one of the first water storage box 500 and the second water storage box 700.

[0086] In an optional embodiment, the clothes drying device is equipped with a drive unit, such as a motor, with one end of the output shaft of the drive unit connected to a water pump 800 and the other end connected to an atomizing device 200. That is, the clothes drying device can drive the water pump 800 and the atomizing device 200 to work simultaneously. By driving the water pump 800 and the atomizing device 200 simultaneously with a single drive unit, the internal space occupied by the device can be reduced, making the overall structure more compact.

[0087] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, the front support 110 is provided with a retrieval port 111 for easy insertion and removal of clothing. A lip 112 is provided around the retrieval port 111, which forms a raised structure around the port to enhance its structural strength. The lip 112 has a mounting hole 113, into which the second water storage box 700 is detachably installed. This detachable installation of the second water storage box 700 facilitates maintenance and replacement, improving the maintainability of the equipment. The lip 112 design strengthens the retrieval port 111 and serves as a positioning and support structure for the second water storage box 700, preventing accidental detachment.
