Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a clothes drying device in the field of laundry and drying, and in particular to a miniature hanging-type drying device.

Background Art

[0002] The existing drying device is generally large in size and difficult to move, and is only applicable to be used in the living environment. When people are on a business trip or during travelling, some small-sized clothes which require frequent washing and need to be dried as well. However, drying devices are not available in such accommodation places as hotels; or even though some public drying devices are available, a hidden danger exists in health. Therefore, it is necessary to design a miniature and portable clothes drying device for those frequently going out.

[0003] The existing technical solution provides some solutions.

[0004] For example, the Chinese patent with the application number of CN201310536748 introduces a rotary clothes hanger which includes a hook and a hanger body, wherein the hook is connected with the hanger body via a miniature motor, the miniature motor is fixed on the hook, the output end of the miniature motor is downwards and is connected with the hanger body, the hook is provided with batteries which are in circuit connection with the miniature motor. When clothes are hanged on the clothes hanger, the miniature motor rotates after being started, the hanger body rotates together, then the clothes dried on the hanger body also rotate, and water in the clothes will be thrown away from the clothes to achieve the aim of improving the drying rate of the dried clothes.

[0005] However, the drying device in the above solution dries clothes only through the natural wind generated from rotation, therefore, the drying rate of clothes is improved little.

[0006] The Chinese patent with the application number of CN201210199891 is taken as another example. In the solution, a clothes hanger which can dry clothes is introduced, wherein the clothes hanger is provided with an upper supporting rod and a lower supporting rod, the upper supporting rod and the lower supporting rod are communicated and are of a hollow sealed tube structure, one side of the upper supporting rod is provided with a water injection hole, the water injection hole is sheathed with a leather cap, the inside of the lower supporting rod is provided with a supporting frame, the supporting frame is provided with an electric heating tube, and the electric heating tube is externally connected with a wire and a power socket. Through the electric heating tube additionally arranged on the supporting frame arranged inside the hollow lower supporting rod of the clothes hanger, the clothes hanger can heat after the power supply is switched on, then the water carried in the hollow part in the clothes hanger can be heated to improve the temperature of the clothes hanger, then the heat which heats water is conducted to clothes to improve the drying efficiency of clothes.

[0007] However, when the drying device in the above solution is adopted, since the hollow part of a clothes hanger is filled with liquid, then in the using process, liquid will leak due to such reasons as collision of the clothes hanger, thereby easily leading to fault and potential safety hazard.

[0008] In view of this, the present disclosure is hereby proposed.
