Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of home products, specifically to a fan shell oscillation assembly for a clothes dryer and the clothes dryer itself. Background Technology

[0002] Clothes drying racks often integrate a blower function to facilitate drying clothes. This function uses a rotating impeller to deliver air, while a oscillating fan casing around the impeller provides the oscillating airflow. However, because clothes drying racks integrate both blower and oscillating airflow functions, they contain multiple different drive structures. The limited internal space of a clothes drying rack leads to these drive structures being tightly packed together, making them prone to interference and malfunctions, resulting in poor safety. Furthermore, the uneven oscillation speed of the oscillating fan casing causes uneven airflow during the oscillating process, making it difficult to dry clothes evenly and resulting in poor drying performance.

[0011] In some embodiments, the support base includes: a side mounting member for mounting the control box of the clothes dryer; wherein the side mounting member is disposed on the same side of the support base along the width direction of the clothes dryer as the swing motor, and offset from the swing motor along the length direction of the clothes dryer, such that the control box mounted on the side mounting member is located on the side of the swing motor along the length direction of the clothes dryer; or, the side mounting member is disposed on the side of the support base opposite to the swing motor along the width direction of the clothes dryer, such that the control box mounted on the side mounting member and the swing motor are respectively located on both sides of the support base.

[0012] Secondly, this disclosure also provides a clothes drying rack, comprising: a top plate defining the length and width directions of the clothes drying rack for mounting the clothes drying rack to a wall; a fan shell swing assembly as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the top end of the support base of the fan shell swing assembly is fixedly connected to the top plate; a rope winding drive device, spaced apart from the swing motor in the height direction via the support base; a fan wheel extending along the length direction of the clothes drying rack and disposed at one end of the support base; and a swing housing connected to the fan shell swing assembly, wherein the swing housing is driven by the swing motor to change the air outlet direction of the clothes drying rack.

[0013] In some embodiments, the swing housing includes: a main housing, coaxially arranged with the impeller and located below the periphery of the impeller, forming an air outlet extending axially; and a swing bracket, fixedly arranged at one end of the main housing, forming a connecting hole along the length of the clothes dryer, the connecting hole being coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the impeller.

A transmission mechanism transmits the rotation of the swing motor to the swing housing, enabling it to swing back and forth. By positioning the swing motor on one side of the support base along the width of the drying rack and connecting it to the swing housing via the transmission mechanism, uneven speeds caused by gravity or other factors are avoided during transmission. This results in near-uniform swinging of the drying rack's swing housing, leading to more even drying of clothes and improved drying performance. Furthermore, the swing motor avoids interference with the clothes drying rack's cord winding drive mechanism located in the lower part of the support base. The support base isolates the swing motor from the cord winding drive mechanism, effectively preventing interference and malfunctions during operation and ensuring the safe operation of the swing motor.

[0033] A clothes drying rack is used to hang and dry clothes. It may include a top plate 210 and a fan 230. The top plate 210 can be rectangular in shape. The top plate 210 can be fixedly connected to a wall, allowing the clothes drying rack to be fixed to the ceiling. The side of the top plate 210 facing the ceiling is considered upwards, and the side facing away from the ceiling is considered downwards. The fan 230 can be located in the space below the top plate 210. The fan 230 extends axially, and its axis is aligned with the length of the top plate 210, which is the length direction of the clothes drying rack. The rotation of the fan 230 blows air towards the clothes hanging below, improving drying efficiency. The clothes drying rack may also include a rope winding drive device 220, used to drive the rope winding to lower or raise the clothes drying rack, facilitating hanging clothes. The rope winding drive device 220 can be located at the bottom of the top plate 210 and fixedly connected to it. The clothes drying rack can have two impellers 230, which can be coaxially arranged. The rope winding drive device 220 can be set between the two impellers 230 and fixed to the top plate 210 of the clothes drying rack.

[0034] Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure provide a fan housing oscillation assembly for a clothes drying rack, such as Figure 1 As shown, it may include: a support base 110, a swing motor 120, and a transmission mechanism.

[0035] A support base 110 is used to fix the clothes drying rack. The top of the support base 110 can be fixed to the top plate 210 of the clothes drying rack. The top of the support base 110 can include multiple support feet, the tops of which can be fixed to the top plate 210 of the clothes drying rack to achieve fixation between the support base 110 and the clothes drying rack. In some cases, the clothes drying rack may not include the top plate 210, and the support base 110 can be directly fixed to the ceiling. The clothes drying rack may include a cord winding drive device 220, and the support base can limit the position of the cord winding drive device 220 in the height direction. A support platform can be formed at the bottom of the support base 110, and the cord winding drive device 220 can be set above the support platform. The cord winding drive device 220 can also be set in the area enclosed by the support feet of the support base 110, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the cord winding drive device 220 and the support base 110 during the assembly process of the clothes drying rack, and can make reasonable use of space and save internal installation space of the clothes drying rack. The support base 110 can be set at the axial end of the impeller 230 of the clothes dryer to support the rotation shaft of the impeller 230.

[0036] The swing motor 120 can be disposed on one side of the support base 110 along the width direction of the clothes dryer, and spaced apart from the clothes dryer's rope winding drive device 220 in the height direction via the support base 110. The swing motor 120 can be fixedly disposed relative to the support base 110. In some embodiments, the swing motor 120 can be fixed to the support base 110, so that the swing motor 120 is located on one side of the support base 110 along the width direction of the clothes dryer. In other embodiments, the swing motor 120 can also be fixedly connected to the clothes dryer, or the swing motor 120 can be fixedly connected to the top plate 210 of the clothes dryer, so that the relative position of the swing motor 120 and the support base 110 is fixed. The swing motor 120 can drive the swing housing 240 of the clothes dryer to rotate through the output shaft of the swing motor 120, or the swing motor 120 can also rotate a certain angle and then stop running, so that the swing housing 240 swings to a designated position and stops at the designated position, thereby adjusting the air outlet angle of the clothes dryer. The rotation of the output shaft is transmitted to the swing housing 240 through a transmission mechanism, allowing the swing housing 240 to swing back and forth within a certain angle along the width of the clothes dryer, thereby changing the airflow direction of the clothes dryer. The swing motor 120 and the rope winding drive device 220 can be separated by a support base 110. The swing motor 120 can be located below the support base 110, while the rope winding drive device 220 can be located above the support base 110, with the swing motor 120 and the rope winding drive device 220 respectively positioned on opposite sides of the support base 110 along the height direction. The swing motor 120 and the rope winding drive device 220 can be spaced apart along the height direction by the support base 110. Positioning the swing motor 120 on one side of the support base 110 along the width direction of the clothes dryer, and staggering the swing motor 120 and the rope winding drive device in the width direction, effectively avoids interference.

[0037] The transmission mechanism connects to the output shaft of the swing motor 120 at one end and to the swing housing 240 of the clothes dryer at the other end, so that the swing motor 120 drives the swing housing 240 to change the airflow direction of the clothes dryer. The transmission mechanism connects the swing motor 120 and the swing housing 240 of the clothes dryer, transmitting the rotational motion output by the output shaft of the swing motor 120 to the swing housing 240. By connecting the swing motor 120 and the swing housing 240 through the transmission mechanism, the rotation of the output shaft of the swing motor 120 is converted into the reciprocating oscillation of the swing housing 240. The reciprocating oscillation of the swing housing 240 within a certain angle changes the airflow direction of the clothes dryer.

[0038] The swing assembly of the fan shell in this embodiment can be installed on the clothes dryer via the support base 110. The transmission mechanism transmits the rotation of the swing motor 120 to the swing fan shell, enabling it to swing back and forth. By positioning the swing motor 120 on one side of the support base 110 along the width direction of the clothes dryer, the swing motor 120 is offset from the swing fan shell. The transmission mechanism connects the swing motor 120 and the swing fan shell, converting the rotational motion of the swing motor 120 into the reciprocating swing of the swing fan shell. This avoids uneven speed due to gravity during transmission. In some related technologies, the swing motor 120 is positioned at the center of the support base 110 along its width direction, with the swing motor 120 and the transmission mechanism positioned on the gravity extension line of the swing housing 240. During the swinging process of the swing motor 120 driving the swing housing 240 to swing, the transmission mechanism and the swing housing 240 connected to it are easily affected by gravity, causing the swing housing 240 to take more time to return to its original position from the extreme positions on the left and right sides, resulting in uneven speed of the swing housing 240. This embodiment of the present disclosure, by placing the swing motor 120 on one side of the support base 110 along the width direction of the clothes dryer, avoids placing the swing motor 120 and the transmission mechanism on the gravity extension line of the swing housing 240, allowing the swing motor 120 to drive the swing housing 240 to swing at approximately a uniform speed. This embodiment of the present disclosure achieves approximately uniform swinging of the clothes dryer's swing housing 240, enabling more even drying of clothes and improving the drying effect of the clothes dryer. The support base 110 separates and avoids interference between the swing motor 120 and the rope winding drive device 220 along the height direction of the clothes dryer, effectively preventing malfunctions caused by interference between the swing motor 120 and the rope winding drive device 220 during operation, and ensuring the operational safety of the swing motor 120.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the transmission mechanism may include a swing arm 131 and a connecting rod 132; one end of the swing arm 131 is hinged to the output shaft of the swing motor 120, and the other end is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 132; the other end of the connecting rod 132 is used to hinge to the swing housing 240 of the clothes dryer. In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism can use the connecting rod 132 system for transmission, and the output shaft of the swing motor 120 can be hinged to one end of the swing arm 131. When the output shaft of the swing motor 120 rotates, it can drive the swing arm 131 to rotate around the output shaft of the swing motor 120. One end of the connecting rod 132 can be hinged to the end of the swing arm 131 away from the output shaft of the swing motor 120, and the other end of the connecting rod 132 is hinged to the swing housing 240 of the clothes dryer. During the rotation of the swing arm 131 driven by the swing motor 120, the rotation of the swing arm 131 causes the connecting rod 132, one end of which is connected to the swing arm 131, to swing, causing the swing housing 240, hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 132, to swing along with the connecting rod 132. Figures 2 to 5 As shown, one end of the swing arm 131 is hinged to the output shaft and can rotate with the output shaft. The other end of the swing arm 131 is a movable end. The movable end can rotate around the output shaft of the swing motor 120 and moves along a circular trajectory with the output shaft of the swing motor 120 as the center and the length of the swing arm 131 as the radius. One end of the connecting rod 132 can be hinged to the movable end of the swing arm 131, and the other end can be hinged to the swing housing 240. Figure 2 As shown, when the movable end of the swing arm 131 is located at the first midpoint of the upper part of the circular trajectory, the swing arm 131 and the swing housing 240 are connected by the connecting rod 132. At this time, the swing housing 240 is located at the center of the width direction of the clothes dryer, making the air outlet direction of the clothes dryer vertically downward. The output shaft of the swing motor 120 can rotate clockwise, and the swing arm 131 can rotate clockwise along the circular trajectory with the output shaft. One end of the connecting rod 132 moves along the circular trajectory with the movable end of the swing arm 131, causing the swing housing 240, which is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 132, to move to the right. The angle formed between the connecting rod 132 and the swing arm 131 gradually decreases, and the swing housing 240 swings to the right with the movement of the connecting rod 132, making the air outlet direction of the clothes dryer gradually to the right; Figure 3 As shown, the movable end of the swing arm 131 moves to the right to its right limit point. At this time, the connecting rod 132 is collinear with the swing arm 131, and the connecting rod 132 partially overlaps with the swing arm 131. The swing housing 240, which is hinged to the connecting rod 132, reaches the right swing limit position, and the air outlet direction of the clothes dryer reaches the rightmost end. The output shaft of the swing motor 120 continues to rotate clockwise, and the swing arm 131 continues to rotate clockwise around a circular trajectory. Through the connecting rod 132, the swing housing 240 is driven to gradually move to the left. The angle formed between the connecting rod 132 and the swing arm 131 gradually increases, and the swing housing 240 swings to the left with the movement of the connecting rod 132, causing the air outlet direction of the clothes dryer to gradually turn to the left. Figure 4As shown, the movable end of the swing arm 131 moves along a circular trajectory to the second midpoint located at the lower part of the circular trajectory. At this time, the swing housing 240, which is hinged to the connecting rod 132, returns to the center, making the air outlet direction of the clothes dryer vertically downward. The swing arm 131 continues to rotate clockwise around the circular trajectory with the output shaft of the swing motor 120, driving the swing housing 240 to continue moving to the left through the connecting rod 132. The angle formed between the connecting rod 132 and the swing arm 131 gradually increases, and the swing housing 240 swings to the left with the movement of the connecting rod 132, making the air outlet direction of the clothes dryer gradually shift to the left; as Figure 5As shown, the movable end of the swing arm 131 moves along a circular trajectory to the left limit point of the circular trajectory. At this time, the connecting rod 132 is collinear with the swing arm 131, and the swing housing 240, which is hinged to the connecting rod 132, reaches the left swing limit position, and the air outlet direction of the clothes dryer reaches the leftmost end. Through the transmission mechanism provided in this embodiment, the swing motor 120 can be connected to the swing housing 240 of the clothes dryer through the swing arm 131 and the connecting rod 132, so as to drive the swing housing 240 to swing back and forth. Through the transmission mechanism of the swing arm 131 and the connecting rod 132, the rotation of the swing arm 131 drives the connecting rod 132 to swing, enabling the swing housing 240 to reach the return position, the left extreme position, and the right extreme position during the swing. Specifically, the swing arm 131 passes through four position limits during rotation: the first midpoint, the left extreme point, the second midpoint, and the right extreme point. When the swing arm 131 passes the first midpoint, the swing housing 240 reaches the return position; when the swing arm 131 passes the left extreme point, the swing housing 240 reaches the left extreme position; and when the swing arm 131 passes the second midpoint, the swing housing 240 reaches the right extreme position. When the swing arm 131 returns to the center position, the swing housing 240 reaches its right limit position when the swing arm 131 passes the right limit point. The rotational limit of the swing arm 131 is close to one-quarter, meaning that the swing housing 240 reaches the center position or limit position when the swing arm 131 rotates about one-quarter of a circle. The swing arm 131 rotates at a constant speed, driving the connecting rod 132 to swing at a constant speed, thus enabling the swing housing 240 to swing back and forth at a constant speed with the connecting rod 132. This achieves an approximately uniform swing speed of the air outlet along the width direction of the clothes dryer, ensuring that the clothes dryer swings back and forth at a constant speed, drying clothes evenly and resulting in better drying effect. In some related technologies, the swing motor 120 is located in the middle of the support base 110 along the width direction, making it susceptible to the influence of gravity. This causes the swing housing 240 to take longer to return from the limit positions on both sides, resulting in uneven swing speed of the swing housing 240. In this embodiment, the swing motor 120 is connected to the swing arm 131 and the connecting rod 132, allowing the swing motor 120 to be positioned on one side of the support base 110, avoiding the gravity extension line of the swing housing 240, thus reducing the impact of the gravity on the transmission mechanism. Furthermore, by positioning the swing motor 120 on one side of the support base 110, the length of the connecting rod 132 in the transmission mechanism can be increased, thereby reducing the nonlinear acceleration generated by the connecting rod 132 during the rotation of the swing arm 131. This allows the connecting rod 132 to swing more evenly, resulting in a uniform swing speed for the swing housing 240 of the clothes dryer, enabling even drying of clothes.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 5As shown, the length of the connecting rod 132 can be greater than the length of the swing arm 131. The air-shell swing assembly transmits the rotation of the output shaft of the swing motor 120 to the swing housing 240, which is hinged to the connecting rod 132, through the swing arm 131 and the connecting rod 132, enabling the housing to reciprocate within a certain angle range. By setting the length of the connecting rod 132 to be greater than the length of the swing arm 131, the swing angle of the connecting rod 132 can be made smaller than the rotation angle of the swing arm 131 during the operation of the transmission mechanism. When the swing arm 131 is driven by the swing motor 120 to rotate one revolution, the connecting rod 132 can drive the swing housing 240 to complete one reciprocating swing within a certain angle range. The longer the connecting rod 132 is, the smaller the linear velocity of the end of the connecting rod 132 that is hinged to the swing housing 240 during the movement of the swing arm 131 driving the connecting rod 132. This makes the length of the connecting rod 132 greater than the length of the swing arm 131, which can reduce the speed of the end of the connecting rod 132 that is hinged to the swing housing 240, improve the stability of the connecting rod 132 swinging with the swing arm 131, and make the swing of the connecting rod 132 with the swing arm 131 smoother and more uniform. One end of the swing arm 131 is hinged to the output shaft of the swing motor 120, and the other end of the swing arm 131 is hinged to the connecting rod 132, which is the movable end. The movable end can rotate around the output shaft of the swing motor 120. The movable end moves on a circular trajectory with the output shaft of the swing motor 120 as the center and the length of the swing arm 131 as the radius. The swing housing 240 is connected to the swing arm 131 through the connecting rod 132. During the operation of the wind housing swing assembly, the movable end of the swing arm 131 is in the initial position. At this time, the swing housing 240 is in the center and the air outlet direction is vertically downward. The swing arm 131 rotates as driven by the output shaft of the drive motor, causing the connecting rod 132, which is hinged to the swing arm 131, to swing the swing housing 240. After the swing arm 131 rotates through a certain angle, it reaches the left or right limit point, enabling the swing housing 240 to reach the left or right swing limit position. If the length of the connecting rod 132 is less than or equal to the length of the swing arm 131, the angle through which the swing arm 131 rotates is smaller, resulting in a faster swing speed of the swing housing 240 from the center to the swing limit position. However, the angle through which the swing arm 131 needs to rotate from the left or right limit point to the center point is larger, resulting in a slower swing speed of the swing housing 240 from the swing limit position to the center. This leads to uneven swing speed of the swing housing 240, uneven airflow from the clothes dryer, and poor clothes drying effect.When the length of the connecting rod 132 is greater than the length of the swing arm 131, the angle of rotation required for the swing arm 131 to swing from the left or right extreme point to the midpoint, and from the midpoint to the left or right extreme point, is similar. This makes the position limit of the swing arm 131 close to one-quarter, so that the swing housing 240 swings from the center to the swing limit position and from the swing limit position to the center at similar speeds. This makes the swing speed of the swing housing 240 more uniform, so that the swing airflow of the clothes dryer is more uniform, and the clothes can be dried more evenly, resulting in a better drying effect for the clothes dryer.

[0041] In some embodiments, the length of the connecting rod 132 can be greater than or equal to three times the length of the swing arm 131. The longer the connecting rod 132, the more uniform the speed of the transmission mechanism during transmission. If the connecting rod 132 is short, it will cause a large nonlinear acceleration during the rotation of the swing arm 131. That is, when the swing arm 131 approaches its limit position, such as the left limit point or the right limit point, the movement of the connecting rod 132 will suddenly accelerate or decelerate. The longer the connecting rod 132, the smaller the influence of this nonlinear motion, and a more uniform swing speed can be obtained. Specifically, the length of the connecting rod 132 can be three times the length of the swing arm 131. In this case, the nonlinear acceleration of the connecting rod 132 when the swing arm 131 swings to near its limit position is smaller, making the swing of the connecting rod 132 more uniform, and enabling the swing housing 240, which is hinged to the connecting rod 132, to swing back and forth at a more uniform speed. The length of the connecting rod 132 can also be greater than three times the length of the swing arm 131. A longer connecting rod 132 results in a more uniform speed at which the swing arm 131 swings to its limit position, making the angle of each limit position approximately a quarter circle. The length of the connecting rod 132 can be greater than or equal to three times the length of the swing arm 131, and less than or equal to four times the length of the swing arm 131. Due to the limited internal space of the clothes drying rack, a connecting rod 132 length within this range allows for safe installation inside the rack and ensures a more uniform swing speed with the swing arm 131. In some embodiments, the length of the connecting rod 132 can be 115 mm, and the length of the swing arm 131 can be 30 mm. In this case, the connecting rod 132 exhibits better swing stability and a more uniform swing speed. In this embodiment, the design of the long connecting rod 132 helps to buffer the abrupt changes when the swing arm 131 swings, making the speed distribution of the swing housing 240 that moves with the connecting rod 132 more uniform throughout the entire swing cycle, avoiding the occurrence of alternating fast and slow speeds, making the swing blowing speed of the clothes dryer more uniform, improving the clothes drying efficiency, and having a better drying effect.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the connecting rod 132 may be provided with a bending portion 1321 to avoid the support base 110 and / or the swing housing 240 of the clothes dryer. The connecting rod 132 may have a bending portion 1321 near the end hinged to the swing arm 131, allowing the connecting rod 132 to bend away from the swing motor 120 along the length of the clothes dryer, thus avoiding interference between the support base 110 and the connecting rod 132 and preventing it from affecting the movement of the connecting rod 132. Figure 6 As shown, the support base 110 can extend downward on both sides in the width direction of the clothes drying rack to form internally threaded columns. The internally threaded columns can be used to fix and install the panel and other structures of the clothes drying rack. Since the connecting rod 132 is located near the internally threaded column, the downwardly protruding internally threaded column may interfere with the connecting rod 132, causing the connecting rod 132 to get stuck. By setting the first bending part, the connecting rod 132 bends away from the internally threaded column along the length direction of the clothes drying rack, so that the connecting rod 132 avoids the internally threaded column and other structural components of the clothes drying rack installed on the internally threaded column, which can effectively improve the safety of the transmission components. The bent portion 1321 of the connecting rod 132 can also be used to avoid the swing housing 240 of the clothes drying rack. The bent portion 1321 of the connecting rod 132 can be provided near the end that is hinged to the swing housing 240. The connecting rod 132 can be bent away from the swing housing 240 along the length direction of the clothes drying rack to avoid the main body of the swing housing 240, and to allow the end of the swing housing 240 near the support base 110 along the length direction of the clothes drying rack to be hinged to the connecting rod 132. Figure 1 As shown, the swing housing 240 may include a main body and a mounting portion for hinged connection with the connecting rod 132. The mounting portion may be located at one end of the swing housing 240 along the length of the clothes dryer, near the support base 110, so that the mounting portion protrudes towards the end near the support base 110. Therefore, a second bending portion may be provided on the side of the connecting rod 132 near the mounting portion for hinged connection. The second bending portion may be bent away from the swing housing 240 along the length of the clothes dryer, so that the connecting rod 132 is hinged to the mounting portion of the swing housing 240, avoiding interference between the connecting rod 132 and the main body of the swing housing 240. The connecting rod 132 may be provided with both a first bending portion and a second bending portion simultaneously to achieve avoidance of the support base 110 and the swing housing 240. By setting the bend 1321 of the connecting rod 132, the connecting rod 132 can avoid the support base 110 and the swing housing 240 of the clothes dryer, thus avoiding interference between the connecting rod 132 and the support base 110 and the swing housing 240 of the clothes dryer during the swing process, which would cause the swing to jam. The connecting rod 132 can effectively avoid the structure of the clothes dryer, improve the safety of the wind housing swing assembly, and have higher stability and reliability.

[0043] In some embodiments, the upper part of the support base 110 has a receiving portion 111 for accommodating the clothes drying rack's cord winding drive device. The clothes drying rack's cord winding drive device 220 can be disposed within the receiving portion 111. A support platform can be formed at the bottom of the support base 110. The bottom of the support platform can be used to install other structural components of the clothes drying rack, such as the control box and battery box, and can also be used to support the rotating shaft of the clothes drying rack's impeller 230. The receiving portion 111 can be a space enclosed by multiple support feet of the support base 110, the support platform, and the top plate 210 of the clothes drying rack. The cord winding drive device 220 located in the receiving portion 111 can be fixed to the top plate 210 of the clothes drying rack to maintain stability. The cord winding drive device 220 located in the receiving portion 111 can be isolated from other structures located below the support base 110 by the support platform of the support base 110 to avoid mutual interference between multiple structural components inside the clothes drying rack. By positioning the oscillating motor 120 below the support base 110 on one side along the width direction of the clothes drying rack, the oscillating motor 120 avoids mutual obstruction from the clothes drying rack's cord winding drive device 220 located in the receiving portion 111 above the support base 110. Furthermore, the support base 110 isolates the oscillating motor 120 from the cord winding drive device 220. With the oscillating motor 120 located below the support base 110 and the cord winding drive device 220 located in the receiving portion 111 above the support base, the oscillating motor 120 and the cord winding drive device 220 are separated in the height direction by the support base 110, effectively preventing interference between the oscillating motor 120 and the clothes drying rack's cord winding drive device 220 during operation, thus ensuring the operational safety of the oscillating motor 120.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the support base 110 may include: a motor bracket 112, disposed on one side of the support base 110 along the width direction of the clothes dryer and extending away from the receiving part 111; the swing motor 120 may be fixedly connected to the motor bracket 112. The motor bracket 112 may be fixedly disposed on the support base 110, located on one side of the support base 110 along the width direction of the clothes dryer, and the motor bracket 112 may be disposed at one end of the support base 110 along the length direction of the clothes dryer, so that the motor bracket 112 is close to the swing housing 240 located at the end of the support base 110, so as to facilitate the connection and fixed installation of the swing motor 120 and the swing housing 240 on the motor bracket 112 through a transmission mechanism. The top of the motor bracket 112 can be fixedly connected to the support base 110. The motor bracket 112 can extend along the width direction of the clothes dryer away from the receiving portion 111 of the support base 110, so that the swing motor 120, when installed on the motor bracket 112, can be moved away from the receiving portion 111 to avoid interference with the rope winding drive device located in the receiving portion 111, thereby improving the operational safety of the clothes dryer. The top of the motor bracket 112 can also be integrally formed with the support base 110, which can prevent relative movement between the motor bracket 112 and the support base 110, and prevent the swing motor 120 installed on the motor bracket 112 from shaking, effectively improving the safety of the swing motor 120 during installation and operation. The integrally formed support base 110 and motor bracket 112 simplify the mating structure of the support base 110 and motor bracket 112, simplify the assembly steps of the clothes dryer, save time, and improve the assembly efficiency of the clothes dryer. By mounting the swing motor 120 on the motor bracket 112, the internal space of the clothes dryer can be fully utilized, allowing the swing motor 120 to be positioned further away from the swing housing 240. This enables the use of a longer connecting rod 132, increasing the length ratio of the connecting rod 132 to the swing arm 131, and making the reciprocating swing of the motor-driven swing housing 240 more uniform. The swing motor 120 can be fixedly mounted on the motor bracket 112, thus securing the swing motor 120 to the support base 110. The motor bracket 112 can have a mounting plate that mates with the side wall of the swing motor 120, facilitating the positioning of the swing motor 120 during installation. The swing motor 120 can be fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and the swing motor 120 and the motor bracket 112 can be fixedly connected by fastening screws. The motor bracket 112 of this embodiment can offset the swing motor 120 to one side of the support base 110 along the width direction, thereby effectively avoiding the rope winding drive device 220 located in the top receiving part 111 of the support base 110, avoiding mutual interference between the swing motor 120 and the rope winding drive device 220 during operation, and ensuring the safe operation of the clothes drying rack as a whole.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6As shown, the support base 110 may include: a mounting hole 113, disposed at one end of the support base 110 along the length direction of the clothes drying rack, and extending axially along the length direction of the clothes drying rack; as shown Figure 7 As shown, the wind housing swing assembly may further include: a wind wheel mounting part 140, coaxially disposed in the mounting hole 113, one end of which is used to install the wind wheel 230 of the clothes drying machine, and the circumferential side is used to coaxially install the sleeve hole 243 of the swing housing 240, so that the swing axis of the swing housing 240 and the rotation axis of the wind wheel 230 are coaxially disposed. The support base 110 may have a mounting hole 113 at one end along the length of the clothes drying rack. The mounting hole 113 may extend axially along the length of the clothes drying rack. The mounting hole 113 may be used for the fan shaft of the clothes drying rack to pass through. The fan shaft may be coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 113. During the assembly of the clothes drying rack, the fan housing swing assembly and the fan wheel 230 can be conveniently and quickly positioned and installed. The fan housing swing assembly may include a fan wheel mounting part 140. The fan wheel mounting part 140 may also be coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 113. One end of the fan wheel mounting part 140 may be used to connect with the fan wheel. The fan wheel mounting part 140 may be provided with a mounting structure for mounting the rotating shaft of the fan wheel 230. The rotating shaft of the fan wheel 230 may pass through the mounting structure so that the fan wheel mounting part 140 and the fan wheel rotating shaft are coaxially arranged, so that the fan wheel mounting part 140, the fan wheel rotating shaft and the mounting hole 113 of the support base 110 are all coaxially arranged. The swing housing 240 can be connected to one end of the support base 110 along the length of the clothes dryer. The swing shaft of the swing housing 240 can extend along the length of the clothes dryer, passing through the connection between the swing housing 240 and the support base 110, so that the swing housing 240 can swing back and forth around the swing shaft. The swing housing 240 can be provided with a socket 243, which can be coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 113 to facilitate the connection between the support base 110 and the swing housing 240. The circumference of the impeller mounting component 140 can mate with the sleeve hole 243 of the swing housing 240 to facilitate the connection between the impeller mounting component 140 and the swing housing 240. This ensures that the sleeve hole 243 and the impeller mounting component 140 are coaxially aligned, allowing the sleeve hole 243, the impeller mounting component 140, and the mounting hole 113 to all be coaxial. Since the axis of the sleeve hole 243 is the swing axis of the swing housing 240, and the axis of the impeller mounting component 140 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the impeller 230, the swing housing 240 can be connected via the mounting hole 113. The swing shaft of 40 is coaxially set with the rotation shaft of the impeller 230, which can avoid interference between the swing path of the swing housing 240 and the rotation of the impeller 230. The swing housing 240 and the impeller 230 can rotate coaxially through the mounting hole 113, which can ensure that the gas blown out by the swing housing 240 is more uniform, thereby improving the drying effect of the clothes dryer. In addition, the mounting hole 113 can facilitate the coaxial positioning of the impeller mounting part 140 and the impeller 230, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the swing housing assembly and the overall installation efficiency of the clothes dryer.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the support base 110 may include a side mounting member 114 for mounting the control box 260 of the clothes drying rack. The side mounting member 114 is located on the same side of the support base 110 along the width direction of the clothes drying rack as the swing motor 120, and offset from the swing motor 120 along the length direction of the clothes drying rack, such that the control box 260 mounted on the side mounting member 114 is located on the side of the swing motor 120 along the length direction of the clothes drying rack; or, the side mounting member 114 is located on the side of the support base 110 opposite to the swing motor 120 along the width direction of the clothes drying rack, such that the control box 260 mounted on the side mounting member 114 and the swing motor 120 are located on opposite sides of the support base 110. In this embodiment, the clothes drying rack may be equipped with a control box 260 for supplying power to the clothes drying rack and controlling various functions of the clothes drying rack, such as swing blowing and voice interaction. The control box 260 can be rectangular in shape, and its length can be less than that of the support base 110 to facilitate its installation on the support base 110. A side mounting bracket 114 can be used to mount the control box 260 of the clothes dryer. The side mounting bracket 114 can be located on one side of the clothes dryer's width direction and can have screw holes for fixing it to the control box 260 with screws. Alternatively, the side mounting bracket 114 can extend along the width direction of the clothes dryer away from the support base 110 to form a snap-fit, allowing the side mounting bracket 114 to be connected to the control box 260 via a snap-fit ​​connection. The side mounting piece 114 can be located on the same side of the support base 110 as the swing motor 120 along the width direction of the clothes dryer, so that the control box 260 can be installed on the support base 110 on the same side as the swing motor 120. The side mounting piece 114 can be staggered from the swing motor 120 along the length direction of the clothes dryer, so that the control box 260 installed on the side mounting piece 114 is staggered from the swing motor 120, avoiding interference between the control box 260 and the swing motor 120. Setting the side mounting piece 114 on the support base 110 on the same side as the swing motor 120 can make the structure of the clothes dryer more compact. The side mounting member 114 can also be disposed on the side of the support base 110 opposite to the swing motor 120 along the width direction of the clothes dryer, so that the control box 260 mounted on the side mounting member 114 can be mounted on the opposite side of the swing motor 120 on the support base 110. The swing motor 120 and the control box 260 can be located on opposite sides of the support base 110 along the width direction, so that the swing motor 120 and the control box 260 do not interfere with each other. In some embodiments, the support base 110 also includes a bottom mounting member, which can be used to mount the bottom control box 260 of the clothes dryer. The bottom mounting member can be located at the bottom of the support base 110 and can have screw holes for fixing the bottom control box 260 to the bottom control box 260 with screws. Alternatively, the bottom mounting member can extend downward along the bottom of the support portion to form a buckle, so that the bottom control box 260 and the bottom mounting member are connected by the buckle.By mounting the control box 260 of the clothes dryer on the side mounting bracket 114, the fan shell swing assembly can be tightly connected to the control box 260, making the internal structure of the clothes dryer more compact and saving space. In addition, the control box 260 can be located on the side of the support base 110, avoiding the rope winding drive device 220 located inside the support base 110. The side mounting bracket 114 of the support base 110 separates the control box 260 and the rope winding drive device 220, preventing interference between the two and improving the safety of the clothes dryer.

[0047] Based on the same inventive concept, such as Figure 8 As shown, this disclosure also provides a clothes drying rack, which may include: a top plate 210, a wind shell swing assembly as in any of the above embodiments, a rope winding drive device 220, a wind wheel 230, and a swing housing 240.

[0048] The top plate 210 defines the length and width of the clothes drying rack and is used to mount the clothes drying rack to the wall. The top of the top plate 210 can be used to mount the clothes drying rack to the wall. In use, the top plate 210 can be mounted on the ceiling. The bottom of the top plate 210 can be used to mount the clothes drying rack structure, such as the fan shell swing assembly and the rope drive device 220. This allows all the functional components of the clothes drying rack to be accommodated in the space below the top plate 210, enabling the top plate 210 to define the length and width of the clothes drying rack.

[0049] As in any of the above embodiments, the top end of the support base 110 of the air swivel assembly is fixedly connected to the top plate 210. The air swivel assembly may include the support base 110, the swivel motor 120, and the transmission mechanism. The air swivel assembly can be fixedly installed on the top plate 210. The top end of the support base 110 can be fixedly connected to the top plate 210. The support base 110 can protrude upward to form multiple support feet, and the top end of each support foot can be fixedly installed on the top plate 210, thereby fixing the support base 110 to the top plate 210. The swivel motor 120 and the transmission mechanism in the air swivel assembly are connected to the support base 110, enabling the air swivel assembly to be fixedly installed on the top plate 210 via the support base 110. The air swivel assembly can be used to connect with a swivel air swivel assembly. The swivel motor 120 drives the swivel housing 240, causing the swivel housing 240 to oscillate back and forth along the width direction of the clothes dryer, changing the air outlet direction of the clothes dryer.

[0050] A cord winding drive device 220 is spaced apart from the swing motor 120 in the height direction via a support base 110. The clothes drying rack may include the cord winding drive device 220, which drives the movement of the cord winding, allowing the clothes drying rack, mounted on the ceiling, to descend or rise, facilitating the hanging or removal of clothes. The top of the cord winding drive device 220 can be fixedly connected to the top plate 210. The cord winding drive device 220 and the swing motor 120 can be spaced apart; the cord winding drive device 220 can be positioned above the support base 120, and the swing motor 120 below the support base 120, with the support assembly 120 separating the cord winding drive device 220 and the swing motor 120 in the height direction. The cord winding drive device 220 can be located in the receiving portion 111 on the upper part of the support base 110, and both the cord winding drive device 220 and the support base 110 can be fixedly mounted on the top plate 210.

[0051] A fan wheel 230 extends along the length of the clothes drying rack and is located at one end of the support base 110. The fan wheel 230 can rotate to blow air outwards from the clothes drying rack to dry the clothes hanging on it, thus promoting drying. The fan wheel 230 can be located at one end of the support base 110, and one end of the fan wheel 230 can be installed on the support base 110. In some embodiments, the support base 110 can be provided with a mounting hole 113 located at one end of the support base 110 along the length of the clothes drying rack, and one end of the fan wheel 230 can be located in the mounting hole 113, so that the rotation axis of the fan wheel 230 is coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 113.

[0052] The swing housing 240, connected to the fan housing swing assembly, is driven by the swing motor 120 to change the airflow direction of the clothes dryer. The swing housing 240 can be positioned below the impeller 230, and one end of the swing housing 240 can be connected to the fan housing swing assembly. The fan housing swing assembly drives the swing housing 240 to swing back and forth along the width of the clothes dryer, thus achieving swing-guided airflow. The swing housing 240 can be coaxially arranged with the impeller 230, allowing them to rotate coaxially, thereby preventing interference between the swing housing 240 and the impeller 230 during swinging and ensuring the stability and safety of the clothes dryer's operation.

[0053] The clothes drying rack of this embodiment can be installed on the wall via the top plate 210. The fan wheel 230 enables the drying function, and the swing housing 240 is connected to the fan housing swing assembly. Driven by the fan housing swing assembly, the swing housing 240 swings back and forth along the width of the clothes drying rack, causing the air blown by the fan wheel 230 to pass through the swing housing 240 and be blown out. The swing of the swing housing 240 changes the direction of the airflow, achieving the swing blowing function of the clothes drying rack. This allows the clothes drying rack to blow air evenly onto the clothes, improving drying efficiency. The clothes drying rack's rope winding drive device 220 can drive the rope winding movement to lower and raise the clothes drying rack, facilitating the hanging of clothes. The rope winding drive device 220 can be installed in the receiving part 111 of the support base 110, allowing the rope winding drive device 220 and the swing motor 120 to be isolated from each other through the support base 110, avoiding interference during operation and improving the operational safety of the clothes drying rack.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the swing housing 240 may include: a main housing 241 and a swing bracket 242.

[0055] The main housing 241, coaxially arranged with the impeller 230, is located below the circumference of the impeller 230 and forms an axially extending air outlet. The main housing 241 can be coaxially arranged with the impeller 230 and can reciprocate around a swing axis along the width of the clothes dryer. The coaxial arrangement of the swing axis of the main housing 241 with the impeller 230 ensures that the main housing 241 does not interfere with the impeller 230 during swinging, providing a high level of safety. The main housing 241 can be located below the circumference of the impeller 230 and can be cylindrical, covering the area below the circumference of the impeller 230 and forming an axially extending air outlet. The air blown by the impeller can be blown out of the air outlet to the outside of the clothes dryer, targeting the clothes hanging on the dryer and improving the efficiency of drying clothes. The reciprocating swing of the main housing 241 can change the position of the air outlet, thereby changing the direction of the air blown out from the air outlet. In some embodiments, the air outlet may extend downward to form a guide plate for guiding air, so that the gas is blown out along the guide plate, which facilitates the guidance of the gas.

[0056] The swing bracket 242 can be fixedly installed at one end of the main housing 241. The swing bracket 242 and the main housing 241 can be fixedly connected by screws or welding. Alternatively, the swing bracket 242 and the main housing 241 can be integrally formed. The swing bracket 242 can be a component extending from the main housing 241 along the length of the clothes dryer towards the support base 110, used for connection with the transmission device. A socket hole 243 can be formed at the lower part of the swing bracket 242 along the length of the clothes dryer, and the socket hole 243 is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft of the impeller 230. The swing bracket 242 can be fixedly installed at one end of the main housing 241, located near the support base 110, and the socket hole 243 can be formed at the lower part of the swing bracket 242 along the length of the clothes dryer. The swing housing assembly may include a fan wheel mounting part 140 for mounting the fan wheel 230 of the clothes dryer. The inner surface of the sleeve hole 243 can mate with the fan wheel mounting part 140, so that the sleeve hole 243 is fitted onto the fan wheel mounting part 140, making the fan wheel mounting part 140 and the sleeve hole 243 coaxially arranged, thereby enabling the fan wheel 230 connected to the fan wheel mounting part 140 and the swing housing 240 to be coaxially arranged. Through the swing housing 240 of this embodiment, the swing bracket 242 can be connected to the fan wheel swing assembly, so that the fan wheel swing assembly can drive the reciprocating motion of the swing housing 240, so that the main housing 241 is below the periphery of the fan wheel 230, and the air blown by the fan wheel 230 is blown out along the air outlet of the main housing 241. By the reciprocating swing of the main housing 241 along the width direction of the clothes dryer, the position of the air outlet is changed, thereby realizing the change of the air outlet direction of the clothes dryer, realizing the swing blowing function of the clothes dryer, and improving the drying efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, there can be two swing housings 240. The clothes drying rack can include a synchronous connecting rod 250 extending along the length of the clothes drying rack, with one end fixedly connected to one swing housing 240 and the other end fixedly connected to the other swing housing 240. The synchronous connecting rod 250 and the swing motor 120 are spaced apart in the width direction via a support base 110. The clothes drying rack can include two swing housings 240, connected by the synchronous connecting rod 250 to achieve synchronous swinging of the swing housings 240. The clothes drying rack can be equipped with two impellers 230, located at both ends of the support base 110 along the length of the clothes drying rack. The two swing housings 240 can be respectively located below the periphery of the two impellers 230. The two swing housings 240 can be connected to each other via the synchronous connecting rod 250 to achieve synchronous swinging. The synchronous connecting rod 250 can extend along the length of the clothes drying rack, with both ends fixedly connected to the two swing housings 240 respectively. The synchronous connecting rod 250 can be fixedly connected to the swing bracket 242 of the swing housing 240. A single swing motor 120 can simultaneously drive the swinging of two swing housings 240. The swing motor 120, via a transmission mechanism, drives one swing housing 240 to swing back and forth along the width of the clothes dryer, and a synchronous connecting rod 250 connecting the two swing housings 240 drives the other swing housing 240 to swing accordingly. The synchronous connecting rod 250 and the swing motor 120 can be staggered and separated from each other in the width direction by a support base 110. The swing motor 120, via the transmission mechanism, drives one swing housing 240 to swing, causing the synchronous connecting rod to swing back and forth around the rotation axis of the fan wheel 230 along the width of the clothes dryer, thus driving the other swing housing 240 to swing. The support platform at the top of the support base 110 can have a through groove, with a groove in the middle of the support platform extending along the length of the clothes dryer. This through groove can be used to mount the synchronous connecting rod 250, allowing it to oscillate back and forth along the width of the clothes dryer around the rotation axis of the impeller 230 within the through groove in the middle of the support base 110, without interfering with the inner wall of the through groove during oscillation. The oscillation motor 120 can be positioned on one side of the support base 110 along the width of the clothes dryer, offset from the synchronous connecting rod 250 in that direction. The support base 110 effectively separates the synchronous connecting rod 250 and the oscillation motor 120 in the width direction, preventing interference. In this embodiment, two swing housings 240 can be connected by a synchronous connecting rod 250 to achieve synchronous rotation of the swing housings 240. Thus, two swing housings 240 can be driven simultaneously by a single swing motor 120, which saves installation space and power. By using a synchronous connector to make the swing housings 240 rotate synchronously, it can be ensured that the clothes hanging along the length of the clothes dryer can be dried synchronously by the air blown out by the clothes dryer, ensuring the uniformity of drying of each garment on the clothes dryer.The support base 110 can separate the synchronous connecting rod 250 from the swing motor 120, avoiding interference that could affect the movement of the swing housing and improving the operational safety of the swing housing.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the clothes drying rack may include a control box 260, which can be a device for supplying power to and controlling the operation of various components within the clothes drying rack. The control box 260 can be mounted on the support base 110. In some cases, only one control box 260 may be provided, enabling control of all components within the clothes drying rack, effectively saving internal space. In other cases, multiple control boxes 260 may be provided. One control box 260 can act as the main control box 260, controlling the various components within the clothes drying rack, while other control boxes 260 can act as backup control boxes 260, activated to assist in control when more electrical functions are required. In some cases, the clothes drying rack needs to activate its voice interaction function while simultaneously using the oscillating airflow to dry clothes. If a single control box 260 cannot control the operation of more internal components of the drying rack at the same time, then the main control box 260 can control the oscillating airflow function, while other control boxes 260 can simultaneously control the voice interaction function to ensure the normal operation of the drying rack. Installing multiple control boxes 260 can improve the adaptability and compatibility of the drying rack. The drying rack may include one or more of the following control boxes 260:

[0059] A bottom control box is located at the bottom of the support base 110. The bottom of the support base 110 may have a bottom mounting bracket for fixed connection with the bottom control box. The bottom mounting bracket may have screw holes for fixed connection with the bottom control box using screws. The top surface of the bottom control box can mate with the bottom mounting bracket at the bottom of the support base 110. The top surface of the bottom control box may protrude upwards to form a hook, and the bottom surface of the bottom mounting bracket may extend downwards to form a latch, connecting with the hook of the bottom control box to facilitate positioning of the bottom control box.

[0060] The first side control box is located on the same side of the support base 110 as the swing motor 120 along the width direction of the clothes dryer, and is offset from the swing motor 120 along the length direction of the clothes dryer. The first side control box can be fixedly connected to the support base 110, which can be provided with a first side mounting piece located on the same side of the support base 110 as the swing motor 120 along the width direction of the clothes dryer for mounting the first side control box. The first side control box can be located on the same side as the swing motor 120. The first side control box and the first side mounting piece can have screw holes for fixing the first side control box and the support base 110 together with screws. On the mating surface of the first side control box with the support base 110, a hook can be formed extending towards the support base 110. The first side mounting piece can be formed with a buckle extending away from the support base 110 along the width direction of the clothes dryer, so that the first side mounting piece and the first side control box are connected to each other through the buckle. The first side control box can be offset from the swing motor 120 along the length of the clothes dryer to avoid interference between the first side control box and the swing motor 120.

[0061] The second side control box is located on the side of the support base 110 opposite to the swing motor 120 along the width direction of the clothes dryer. The second side control box can be fixedly connected to the support base 110, which may have a second side mounting component located on the side of the support base 110 opposite to the swing motor 120 along the width direction of the clothes dryer for mounting the second side control box. The second side control box can be located on the opposite side of the swing motor 120. Both the second side control box and the second side mounting component may have screw holes for fixing the second side control box to the support base 110 with screws. On the mating surface of the second side control box with the support base 110, a hook may extend towards the support base 110, and the second side mounting component may extend away from the support base 110 along the width direction of the clothes dryer to form a latch, allowing the first side mounting component and the first side control box to be connected via latches. The first side control box located on the opposite side of the swing motor 120 effectively prevents interference between the first side control box and the swing motor 120. A clothes drying rack can be equipped with a single control box to control its operation, saving internal space. Alternatively, multiple control boxes 260 can be installed. During normal operation, a single control box 260 controls the drying rack. When more electrical control functions are needed, such as when the clothes drying rack needs to be raised and lowered via the rope drive device 220, other control boxes 260 can be activated. Multiple control boxes 260 working together to control the drying rack adapts to various situations. Activating the control boxes 260 according to the drying rack's operational needs provides better adaptability and improves the drying rack's compatibility. Installing multiple control boxes 260 at different positions on the support base 110 effectively utilizes the internal space of the drying rack, improving space utilization and making the internal structure more compact.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11As shown, the clothes drying rack may include a panel 270 located at the bottom of the support base 110, with a microphone 271 positioned in the center of the panel 270. The bottom of the clothes drying rack may include the panel 270 for user interaction. The panel 270 can be fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support base 110. The top of the panel 270 may protrude upwards to form a panel 270 support, which can be fixedly connected to the support base 110. A space can be formed between the top surface of the panel 270 and the bottom surface of the clothes drying rack to accommodate the control box 260, the power supply components of the clothes drying rack, and other structures. The microphone 271 positioned in the center of the panel 270 can pick up sound and receive user voice commands. During the rotation of the impeller 230 and the oscillation of the swing housing 240, some noise is generated. The microphone 271 located in the center of the panel 270 is far from the impeller 230 and the swing housing 240 on both sides of the panel 270, which can avoid the noise generated by the impeller 230 and the swing housing 240, thus more accurately recognizing user voice commands, improving the voice recognition rate and interaction accuracy of the clothes drying rack, and enhancing the user experience.
