[0023] Example

[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 5This embodiment of a wardrobe-style clothes dryer includes a clothes hanger 1. Columns 2 are fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the clothes hanger 1. A top cover 3 is fixedly installed on the top of each column 2. An installation groove 4 is formed in the center of the rear side of the top cover 3. Slots 5 are formed on both sides of the installation groove 4. A clothes drying hot air blower 6 is inserted into the installation groove 4. Elastic plates 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the clothes drying hot air blower 6, and the elastic plates 7 are engaged with the inner side of the slots 5. The clothes hanger 1 is installed inside the wardrobe. During the application of this device, the lamps 11 can be flexibly selected according to the specific application. Heating lamps can be selected to assist in improving stability and thus promoting drying, or ultraviolet lamps can be selected for irradiation and sterilization. During the application of this device, after the clothes hanger 1 is installed inside the wardrobe, the clothes drying hot air blower 6 is engaged with the inner side of the slots 5 of the installation groove 4 on the top cover by the elastic plates 7 on both sides, thus achieving a stable connection with the device. During the drying operation, the clothes drying hot air blower 6 is activated, and the generated hot air acts on the clothes inside the wardrobe, promoting drying. The device dries clothes by evaporating moisture from them. During this process, the lamps 11 equipped with the device can be flexibly selected according to actual needs: if a heating lamp is selected, it releases heat to help raise the temperature inside the wardrobe, increasing the temperature of the environment where the clothes are located, accelerating moisture evaporation, and thus promoting the drying process, shortening drying time, and improving drying efficiency; if a UV lamp is selected, the ultraviolet light emitted by the UV lamp can irradiate the clothes, using the bactericidal effect of ultraviolet light to destroy the structure of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms on the clothes, achieving a sterilization and disinfection effect, making the dried clothes cleaner and more hygienic. This flexible selection of lamps 11 allows the device to adapt to different drying needs. When rapid drying is required, the auxiliary heating function of the heating lamp can play a role; when hygiene is a concern, the sterilization function of the UV lamp can meet the requirements, enhancing the practicality and applicability of the device and providing users with more diverse drying options.

[0025] refer to Figures 1-3 and Figure 5The installation groove 4 has sliding grooves 8 on both sides. Sliding strips 9 are fixedly installed on both sides of the clothes dryer 6, and these strips 9 are slidably connected to the inside of the sliding grooves 8. A hanger 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the clothes dryer 6, and a light fixture 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hanger 10. During the application of this device, when the clothes dryer 6 is installed, the sliding strips 9 on both sides slide along the sliding grooves 8 inside the installation groove 4. This sliding cooperation provides precise guidance for the installation of the dryer, ensuring that it can smoothly and accurately enter the installation position, avoiding deviation or jamming during installation. This allows the elastic clamp 7 to smoothly engage with the clamp 5 for fixation, simplifying the installation operation and improving installation efficiency. During the drying process, the clothes dryer 6 generates hot air after starting, which acts evenly on the clothes in the wardrobe, promoting moisture evaporation to achieve drying. The hanging bracket 10 at the bottom of the clothes dryer 6 provides a stable mounting platform for the lamp 11, allowing the lamp 11 to function at a suitable height and position. When a heating lamp is selected, the heat it releases can work synergistically with the hot air from the dryer to further increase the temperature inside the wardrobe, accelerate moisture evaporation, and effectively shorten drying time. If an ultraviolet lamp is selected, the ultraviolet rays it emits can irradiate the clothes more comprehensively. With the support of the hanging bracket 10, the irradiation range is ensured to be wider, enhancing the sterilization and disinfection effect and making the clothes cleaner. When the dryer needs maintenance, the sliding cooperation between the slide bar 9 and the slide groove 8 also plays a role. Simply release the locking of the elastic plate 7, and the dryer can be easily pulled out along the slide groove 8, making maintenance operations more convenient, reducing the time and effort required for maintenance, and improving the ease of use of the device.

[0026] refer to Figures 1-3A lifting horizontal frame 12 is movably installed on the inner center of the clothes hanger 1. The four corners of the lifting horizontal frame 12 are slidably connected to the four uprights 2 of the clothes hanger 1 via sleeves 13. Anti-slip silicone pads are fixedly connected inside the sleeves 13, and the inner side of the anti-slip silicone pads inside the sleeves 13 is in close contact with the outer surface of the uprights 2. During use, when it is necessary to hang clothes of different lengths, the position of the lifting horizontal frame 12 can be adjusted to fit. The four corners of the lifting horizontal frame 12 form a sliding engagement with the four uprights 2 of the clothes hanger 1 through the sleeves 13. By pushing the lifting horizontal frame 12, the sleeves 13 will move up and down along the uprights 2, thereby driving the lifting horizontal frame 12 to achieve height adjustment. This adjustment process is flexible and convenient, and can quickly find a suitable hanging position according to the length of the clothes, avoiding the problem of different lengths of clothes causing uneven hanging. The problem of inconvenient hanging caused by the difference in size is solved by the anti-slip silicone pad inside the sleeve 13, which fits tightly against the outer surface of the column 2. When the lifting frame 12 is adjusted to the required height, the anti-slip silicone pad will generate a certain friction force, which effectively prevents the sleeve 13 from sliding on the column 2. This ensures that the lifting frame 12 can be stably maintained at the set height and will not shift due to the weight of the clothes or slight contact. This stable support not only allows the clothes to be hung more neatly, but also prevents the clothes from squeezing each other, which is conducive to the circulation of hot air generated by the hot air blower between the clothes and improves the drying efficiency. At the same time, the presence of the anti-slip silicone pad also reduces the direct friction between the sleeve 13 and the column 2, reduces the possibility of component wear, extends the service life of the structure, and further improves the practicality and durability of the device.

[0027] refer to Figure 5 A switch button 14 is fixedly installed on the back of the clothes dryer 6, and a triangular handle 15 is fixedly connected to the back of the switch button 14. The outer corners of the clothes hanger 1 and the outer corners of the top cover 3 are all rounded. During the application of this device, when it is necessary to start or stop the clothes dryer 6 during the drying process, the switch button 14 on its back can be operated directly. The design of the switch button 14 makes the start and stop control of the clothes dryer 6 direct and convenient, and the switching of the equipment's operating status can be achieved without complicated operations. When it is necessary to disassemble or move the clothes dryer 6, the triangular handle 15 connected to the switch button 14 on its back comes into play. By gripping the triangular handle 15 and applying force, it is easier to move the clothes dryer 6. Easily push or pull the clothes dryer 6 into or out along the mounting slot 4. The triangular handle 15 is ergonomically designed for easy application of force, making disassembly and assembly less strenuous and reducing operational difficulty. Meanwhile, the outer corners of the clothes hanger 1 and the top cover 3 are rounded. In daily use, whether hanging clothes, taking clothes out, or performing other operations near the device, the rounded corners effectively prevent people from being injured by sharp corners, improving the safety of the device. This design is especially practical in relatively compact wardrobe environments, reducing the risk of accidents caused by unintentional contact and giving users greater peace of mind during use, while also enhancing the overall user experience of the device.

[0028] Operating principle and advantages: During equipment assembly and hot air blower installation, the clothes rack 1 of the wardrobe-style clothes dryer forms an integral frame with the top shell through the four corner columns 2. The lifting crossbar 12 is slidably connected to the columns 2 via the sleeve 13. The anti-slip silicone pad inside the sleeve 13 can maintain its stability after height adjustment to adapt to different clothing hanging needs. The folding support legs at the bottom of the clothes dryer 6 can be folded up to save space during transportation and unfolded to provide stable support during use. When installing the hot air blower, align its two side slides 9 with the slide grooves 8 and L-shaped front upper part of the housing mounting groove 4. As the anti-assembly deformation groove 8 of the cover 3 is pushed in, the anti-assembly deformation groove 8 avoids structural deformation caused by uneven force during the process. At the same time, the anti-accidental start-up groove 8 of the upper cover 3 activates the safety switch in the initial locked state until the elastic plates 7 on both sides of the hot air blower are inserted into the slots 5 to complete the fixation. At this time, the safety switch is released, and the bottom hanger 10 and lamp 11 of the hot air blower hang down naturally. The anti-intrusion drainage groove of the upper cover 3 can guide the drainage of any liquid that may enter. The wiring is led out and connected through the easy-to-disassemble non-penetrating lead wire area. The through-type wire winder stores excess wiring to avoid clutter.

[0029] When drying clothes, hang the clothes to be dried on the clothes hanger 1 and the lifting frame 12. The wave-shaped anti-deformation internal structure of the drying hot air blower 6 can reduce structural deformation caused by temperature changes during operation. Operate the switch button 14 on the back of the hot air blower through the triangular handle 15. Since the slide bar 9 is in place and the safety is released, the switch can be started normally. The hot air generated by the hot air blower is delivered to the interior space of the wardrobe to dry the clothes. When the hot air blower needs to be disassembled for maintenance, press the elastic plates 7 on both sides of the mounting groove 4 to make it disengage from the groove 5. The anti-accidental start slide groove 8 of the top cover 3 will activate the safety switch and cut off the power to prevent accidental start. Then, pull the hot air blower outward along the slide groove 8 through the triangular handle 15 so that the slide bar 9 can slide out of the slide groove 8 and the anti-deformation slide groove 8 and be removed. During maintenance, the through-type wire winder facilitates wire organization, and the folding feet facilitate transportation. After maintenance, reassemble according to the installation steps.
