[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a vertical refrigerated dryer for easy cleaning, including a vertical dryer body 1, a support leg 2 fixed to the bottom of the vertical dryer body 1, a mounting bracket 3 fixed to the outside of the vertical dryer body 1, a filter mechanism 4 inserted into the top of the mounting bracket 3, a connecting handle 5 fixed to the outside of the filter mechanism 4, a positioning bracket 6 installed on the outside of the filter mechanism 4, a positioning mechanism 7 provided on the outside of the vertical dryer body 1, and a locking mechanism 8 installed on the outside of the vertical dryer body 1. The positioning mechanism 7 includes a fixed housing 71. A return spring 72 is provided on the inner wall of one side of the fixed housing 71. One end of the return spring 72 is connected to a limit plate 73. A positioning bracket 74 is fixed on one side of the limit plate 73. A movable threaded rod 75 is installed on the outer side of the limit plate 73. A cast iron plate 76 is fixed to one end of the movable threaded rod 75. A limit nut 77 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the movable threaded rod 75. A groove is provided inside the positioning bracket 6. The size of the groove is adapted to the size of the positioning bracket 74. The fixed housing 71 and the vertical refrigerated dryer body 1 are fixedly connected. A metal handle 9 is fixed on one side of the cast iron plate 76. A through hole is provided inside the fixed housing 71. The size of the through hole is adapted to the size of the movable threaded rod 75.

[0018] The locking mechanism 8 includes a locking connecting frame 81. A fixed semi-threaded post 82 is fixed on the outside of the locking connecting frame 81. A connecting block 83 is installed on the outside of the filter mechanism 4. A connecting semi-threaded rod 84 is fixed on the outside of the connecting block 83. A gasket 85 is movably sleeved on the outside of the fixed semi-threaded post 82 and the connecting semi-threaded rod 84. A threaded sleeve 86 is threadedly connected to the outside of the fixed semi-threaded post 82 and the connecting semi-threaded rod 84. The locking connecting frame 81 is fixedly connected to the main body 1 of the vertical refrigerated dryer. The inside of the locking connecting frame 81 is provided with a groove that matches the size of the filter mechanism 4. The radius of the fixed semi-threaded post 82 is equal to the radius of the connecting semi-threaded rod 84. The outside of the threaded sleeve 86 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0019] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: With the positioning mechanism 7, when the filter mechanism 4 is installed and positioned, the metal handle 9 is pulled to move the cast iron plate 76. The cast iron plate 76 then moves the moving threaded rod 75 and the limiting plate 73, preventing the positioning bracket 74 from obstructing the installation and positioning of the filter mechanism 4. After inserting the filter mechanism 4 into the pre-set groove of the mounting bracket 3 from the top, the metal handle 9 can be released, allowing the return spring 72 inside the fixed housing 71 to provide elastic force to push the limiting plate 73 and the positioning bracket 74 to move. One side of the positioning bracket 74 is movably inserted into the interior of the positioning bracket 6, facilitating the positioning of the filter mechanism 4 during installation. Furthermore, the positioning and unlocking operations are simple, improving maintenance efficiency. The filter mechanism 4 adopts an easy-to-position and easy-to-release design, facilitating cleaning work and reducing labor costs. The strength is achieved, which facilitates the installation, disassembly, and cleaning of the filter mechanism 4, significantly improving maintenance efficiency. With the locking mechanism 8, when the filter mechanism 4 is positioned and fixed, a connecting block 83 is fixed to the outside of the filter mechanism 4. The corresponding surface of the connecting semi-threaded rod 84 on the outside of the connecting block 83 is in contact with the fixed semi-threaded post 82. Then, a gasket 85 is movably sleeved on the outside of the connecting semi-threaded rod 84 and the fixed semi-threaded post 82, and a threaded sleeve 86 is used to thread the connecting semi-threaded rod 84 and the fixed semi-threaded post 82, conveniently completing the fixing between the connecting semi-threaded rod 84 and the fixed semi-threaded post 82. This makes the fixing and disassembly of the filter mechanism 4 simple, ensuring the stability of the filter mechanism 4 assembly structure. Furthermore, disassembly is easy; the threaded sleeve 86 can be easily removed, and the filter mechanism 4 can be disassembled for cleaning.

[0020] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
