[0001] The present invention relates to the field of clothes dryer devices, and more particularly to clothes dryers. [Background technology]
[0002] A clothes dryer is a device for drying clothes, also known as a clothes dryer. For users in many regions, especially those in the south, excessive rainfall can prevent clothes from drying in a timely manner and can cause unpleasant odors. However, if a large dryer cannot be installed on the exterior of a home or if budgets are limited, it can be difficult to dry clothes in a timely manner. Furthermore, for people who are on the move, those who frequently travel, or those living in tenant or short-term housing, installing a fixed large dryer can be inconvenient. To solve these problems, there is an urgent need for a portable, easy-to-store, and conveniently usable clothes dryer. Summary of the Invention

[0034] As shown in Figure 1, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further includes a scented sheet cover, which is installed to cover the air inlet 102 of the cover assembly 111. The scented sheet cover has a scented sheet accommodating cavity which communicates with the air inlet 102. By placing a scented sheet in the scented sheet accommodating cavity of the scented sheet cover, when the clothes dryer is started, the external airflow passes through the air inlet 102 and is introduced into the air guide cavity 201, and is finally output into the temperature-controlled area of the fabric cover 4, allowing the clothes being dried to be scented.
[0035] 7 and 8, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, the telescopic clothesline 3 includes a clothesline body 31, a connecting shaft 32, and a hanger 33, the clothesline body 31 is mounted on the cover assembly 1, the clothesline body 31 is telescopic, the connecting shaft 32 is mounted on the clothesline body 31 and is located at one end remote from the receiving cavity, and the hanger 33 is movably mounted on the connecting shaft 32, and the hanger 33 can move away from or towards the clothesline body 31 along with the connecting shaft 32. The telescopic structural design of the clothesline body 31 makes it possible to extend and retract the telescopic clothesline 3, making it convenient to use. The hanger 33 is movably mounted on the connecting shaft 32, and one end of the hanger 33 away from the connecting shaft 32 opens like a petal and can be separated from the clothesline body, and by using it in accordance with the extended state of the clothesline body 31, the telescopic clothesline 3 can hang clothes. When the hangers 33 are gathered toward the clothesline body 31, the overall diameter of the telescopic clothesline 3 can be reduced, making it easier to contract and store the telescopic clothesline 3 and reducing the overall volume of the clothes dryer for easier storage.
[0036] As shown in Figure 8, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further restricts that there are multiple connecting shafts 32 and multiple hangers 33, and the multiple connecting shafts 32 are spaced apart around the circumference of the clothesline body 31, with the multiple connecting shafts 32 corresponding one-to-one to the multiple hangers 33. Since the multiple connecting shafts 32 are spaced apart around the circumference of the clothesline body 31 and the multiple hangers 33 are connected to the multiple connecting shafts 32 in one-to-one correspondence, when the clothesline body 31 is extended to the usable state, the multiple hangers 33 open outward like petals from the clothesline body 31, allowing the hangers 33 to hang clothes and maintain a certain distance between the clothes, making drying easier.
