[0002] Clothes drying racks are a convenient device in modern home life, enabling users to dry clothes easily and providing different drying options. With the advancement of technology and the diversification of user needs, the types of clothes drying racks on the market are becoming increasingly diverse.

[0003] To meet user needs, existing clothes drying racks often include fans to improve drying efficiency. However, installing fans in clothes drying racks requires air ducts to ensure effective airflow. Currently, however, the air outlets of clothes drying racks with drying functions on the market are unprotected, leaving them exposed and susceptible to dust and insects entering. This results in the rack blowing out dirty air, which is detrimental to human health. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air duct structure, a clothes drying machine main unit, and a clothes drying machine, which can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0031] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0034] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a duct structure, including a duct housing 10, on which a first air outlet 103 and a second air outlet 104 are provided; a fan 105, which is disposed inside the duct housing 10; and a shielding mechanism 20, which shields the connection between the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104 and the external environment when the fan 105 stops working.

[0035] By installing shielding mechanisms 20 at the first air vent 103 and the second air vent 104, the connection between the first air vent 103 and the second air vent 104 and the external environment is isolated after the fan 105 in the duct structure stops working. This prevents external dust and insects from entering the duct and polluting the internal environment, thus avoiding contamination of the duct structure's internal environment when users use related products. Furthermore, the airflow generated by the fan 105, flowing through the duct structure, carries dust or insects into the air, which can then be inhaled by the user, affecting their health. The shielding mechanisms 20 also help maintain the cleanliness of the internal environment of the duct structure when the fan 105 is not working.

[0036] In some embodiments, the shielding mechanism 20 includes a first shielding mechanism 201 and a second shielding mechanism 202, which respectively shield the first air vent 103 and the second air vent 104.

[0037] A first shielding mechanism 201 and a second shielding mechanism 202 are provided at the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104, and the first shielding mechanism 201 and the second shielding mechanism 202 are controlled independently. When one of the shielding mechanisms 20 is damaged, the other shielding mechanism 20 can still work normally. Although it can only shield one air outlet, it can still prevent some dust and insects from entering the air duct and extend the time when the internal environment of the air duct structure remains clean.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first air vent 103 is an air inlet located on the air inlet side of the duct housing 10, and the first shielding mechanism 201 is located outside the duct housing 10. When the fan 105 stops working, the first shielding mechanism 201 shields the first air vent 103. The second air vent 104 is an air outlet located on the air outlet side of the duct housing 10, and the second shielding mechanism 202 is located inside the duct housing 10. When the fan 105 stops working, the second shielding mechanism 202 shields the second air vent 104.

[0039] The first shielding mechanism 201 is disposed on the outside of the duct housing 10 to shield the air inlet. Since the duct housing 10 has a certain thickness and the air inlet introduces airflow from the external environment into the duct housing 10, placing the first shielding mechanism 201 on the outside of the duct housing 10 to shield the air inlet can prevent external dust and insects from adhering to the duct wall at the air inlet. This would prevent the dust and insects from being sucked into the duct housing 10 after the fan 105 is turned on and finally blown out from the air outlet, causing pollution to the air in the external environment.

[0040] Setting the second shielding mechanism 202 inside the air duct housing 10 to shield the air outlet is beneficial to improving the overall integrity of the air duct structure and reducing damage to the second shielding mechanism 202 caused by external factors.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first shielding mechanism 201 includes a first driving member 2011, a push-pull rod 2012 and a first baffle 2013. The first driving member 2011 is used to drive the push-pull rod 2012 to perform a push-pull movement. The push-pull rod 2012 is fixedly connected to the first baffle 2013 so as to drive the first baffle 2013 to shield or open the first air vent 103.

[0042] In some embodiments, the second shielding mechanism 202 includes a second driving member 2021, a transmission belt 2022, and a second shielding plate 2023. The end of the second shielding plate 2023 is connected to the second driving member 2021 through the transmission belt 2022 so that the second shielding plate 2023 is driven by the second driving member 2021 to perform a flipping motion. The second shielding plate 2023 blocks or opens the second air vent 104 through the flipping motion.

[0043] Specifically, the second air outlet 104 is a long strip-shaped air outlet, and the second baffle 2023 is a long strip-shaped baffle corresponding to the air outlet. The two ends of the second baffle 2023 are rotatably connected to the inside of the air duct housing 10, and one end is connected to the second driving member 2021 through the transmission belt 2022 so as to achieve rotation under the drive of the second driving member 2021.

[0044] In some embodiments, the duct housing 10 includes an upper housing 101 and a lower housing 102, which are interlocked to form a hollow duct housing 10.

[0045] In some embodiments, a heater 106 is also provided inside the air duct housing 10. The heater 106 is located on the air outlet path to heat the airflow flowing through the heater 106 and realize the function of blowing warm air.

[0046] In some embodiments, a clothes drying rack main unit 30 is provided, including the above-mentioned air duct structure, and the air duct structure is disposed within the clothes drying rack main unit 30.

[0047] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figure 4 In some embodiments, a clothes drying rack is provided, including the aforementioned clothes drying rack main unit 30 and a drying rack main body 50, wherein the drying rack main body 50 is connected to the clothes drying rack main unit 30 via a folding mechanism 40.

[0048] By using the aforementioned clothes drying machine main unit 30, clothes can be blown and dried during the drying process, which speeds up the drying efficiency and improves the user experience.

[0049] In some embodiments, the main body 50 of the drying rack includes a clothes drying rod 501 and a quilt drying rod 502. The quilt drying rod 502 is movably connected to the clothes drying rod 501 via a movable rod 503 to expand the drying area of ​​the clothes drying rack.
