The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying figures 1-3:

the embodiment takes the aromatherapy substance as an example, the aromatherapy substance is arranged in an aromatherapy box, and the volatile substance accommodating box is the aromatherapy box, and the volatile substance can generate fragrance.

Referring to fig. 1-3, the clothes dryer of the present embodiment is provided with a clothes drying cylinder 5 and a rear filter screen 3, the rear filter screen is disposed at an air outlet of a rear air duct of the clothes drying cylinder (or disposed at a downstream of the air outlet), and the rear filter screen is provided with an aroma box 2, so that aroma enters an external environment along with hot air discharged from the clothes drying cylinder in a process that the hot air in the clothes drying cylinder is discharged from the clothes drying cylinder to the external environment through the aroma box.

Above-mentioned optional, 2 fretwork designs of champignon box or air permeability material are made, champignon box detachable buckle in the intermediate position of back filter screen.

Above-mentioned optionally, champignon box includes protecgulum and base, and the protecgulum forms a spacing chamber with the base cooperation together, and champignon material is held in spacing cavity, and this spacing cavity is located the fluid flow path of airing exhaust.

Optionally, the rear filter screen is positioned at the air outlet of the rear air duct of the clothes drying cylinder and is fixed on the shaft sleeve of the rear support beam of the clothes dryer in a buckling manner; specifically, a roller shaft is arranged on the rear supporting beam, and the shaft sleeve is used for fixing the roller and the roller shaft.

Optionally, an axial flow fan blade is arranged at the hot air outlet or the downstream of the air outlet or the air outlet at the rear part of the clothes drying cylinder to provide hot air exhaust power.

Therefore, the invention adds the function of fragrance to the rear filter screen without affecting the original function of the filter screen. The direct-exhausting clothes dryers in the market generally discharge circulating hot air into the air directly and have no characteristics. According to the invention, the fragrance device is added on the rear filter screen, so that hot air discharged into the air has fragrance, and the indoor air can be filled with fragrance while clothes are dried, so that people feel relaxed and happy, and the user experience is excellent.

Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: when the clothes dryer starts to work, the axial flow fan blades 5 start to rotate, so that air is sucked from the front filter screen 1 (namely an air inlet), and the front filter screen is arranged on the front panel shell and used for filtering flock. Then the sucked air is heated by PTC (or hot air can be directly introduced), the sucked air is converted into high-temperature gas, and the clothes in the drum are dried. The rear filter screen 3 is arranged at the position of the rear air outlet of the roller and used for filtering the flock of clothes, and the filter screen is arranged on the shaft sleeve on the rear supporting beam in a buckling mode. And 2 fragrance boxes are arranged on the 3 back filter screens, and fragrance materials are filled in the fragrance boxes. The fragrance can be actively emitted through the fragrance box, so that the cylinder is filled with fragrance, and clothes in the cylinder can be fragrant when the clothes are dried. The aromatherapy box 2 is detachably designed, and once the aromatherapy substance in the box is used up, the aromatherapy box can be replenished again, and the aromatherapy box and the rear air duct are fixed through a buckle. The wind in the section of thick bamboo is through air outlet 4 with hot-blast discharge in the air, in so doing also can bring fragrance to the air naturally for not only make the clothing be full of fragrance at the in-process of drying the clothing, also can make in the air in the room give off fragrance, be an splendid user experience. Because the cylinder is filled with gas with relatively high temperature, the activity degree of aroma molecules is high, so the aroma molecules can be better adhered to clothes, and the aroma discharged into the air is stronger.

Certainly, the aroma box can be made into a volatile sterilization and disinfection substance, or the volatile substance is a volatile sterilization and disinfection substance, so that the volatile sterilization and disinfection substance can be discharged into the environment along with hot air with residual heat, a part of the volatile sterilization and disinfection substance can enter the clothes drying cylinder or form a sterilization or disinfection effect on the clothes drying cylinder or clothes in the clothes drying cylinder around the clothes drying cylinder, and the sterilization and disinfection by using gas cannot cause residues caused by unclean rinsing on the clothes like a disinfectant, and the waste of water is reduced. Especially, the movement of the volatile substance molecules is accelerated under the heating action of high-temperature gas, so that the movement of the volatile substance molecules is more violent, the fragrance is stronger and/or the sterilization and disinfection effects are better. Therefore, the user experience and the value-added effect of the washing machine are greatly improved according to the number of the washing machines.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are specifically illustrated and described above. It is to be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the precise arrangements, instrumentalities, or instrumentalities described herein; on the contrary, the disclosure is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
