(9) The present invention will be further detailed below in combination with drawings and specific embodiments.

(10) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, there is provided a tensioning adjusting mechanism for a drum, which comprises a front plate 1, a rear plate 2, a base 3, a drum 4, a supporting seat 5, a motor frame 6, a motor 7, a tension spring 8 and a synchronous belt 9. The base 3 is connected between a bottom of the front plate 1 and a bottom of the rear plate 2; the drum 4 is rotatably connected between the front plate 1 and the rear plate 2 and located above the base 3; a plurality of reinforcing connection rods 12 are arranged in a spacing along a circumference of the drum 4 between the front plate 1 and the rear plate 2. With the reinforcing connection rods 12, the connection strength and the connectivity of the front plate 1 and the rear plate 2 can be further improved. The supporting seat 5 is disposed on the base 3, the motor 7 disposed on the motor frame, and a drive shaft of the motor 7 is connected with a synchronous belt wheel 71. The synchronous belt 9 is tensioned and connected on the synchronous belt wheel 71 and a peripheral wall of the drum 4 such that transmission connection between the motor 7 and the drum 4 is realized by the synchronous belt 9. A left end of the motor frame 6 is rotatably connected on the supporting seat 5 and a right end of the motor frame 6 is supported by the synchronous belt 9. An adjusting rod 10 is connected movably between a lower portion of the front plate 1 and a lower portion of the rear plate 2 and located below the motor frame 6. A first locking portion for after-adjustment fixing is disposed between one end of the adjusting rod 10 and the front plate 1 and a second locking portion for after-adjustment fixing is disposed between the other end of the adjusting rod 10 and the rear plate 2. One end of the tension spring 8 is connected to the adjusting rod 10, and the other end of the tension spring 8 is connected to a right portion of the motor frame 6, where a pull force of the tension spring 8 is adjusted by controlling a position of the adjusting rod 10. Thus, the tension spring 8 can be tensioned between the adjusting rod 10 and the motor frame 6. The adjusting rod 10 is connected between the front plate 1 and the rear plate 2 to increase the connection strength, supporting and connectivity, and make rotational adjustment, so as to bring the position of the tension spring 8 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the pull force of the tension spring 8, ensuring the synchronous belt 9 is tensioned on the synchronous belt wheel 71 and the drum 4, guaranteeing stable transmission efficiency and transmission effect, and finally guaranteeing the entire laundry drying effect.

(11) As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, two screw connection holes 21 which are distributed side by side and disposed as transverse insertion are arranged respectively on an inner sidewall of the lower portion of the front plate 1 and an inner sidewall of the lower portion of the rear plate 2; a connection vertical plate 101 is disposed at both ends of the adjusting rod 10 respectively; connection through holes 11 which penetrate transversely and correspond in number to the screw connection holes 21 are disposed on each of the connection vertical plates 101, and the connection through holes 11 have a larger diameter than the screw connection holes 21. The first locking portion and the second locking portion are each locked and fixed by connection screws. The connection screws are inserted through the connection through holes 11 to be connected in the screw connection holes 21, and the connection through holes 11 on the adjusting rod 10 can be rotatably adjusted relative to the connection screws. After adjustment is made to an angle, the adjusting rod 10 is fixed between the front plate 1 and the rear plate 2 by tightening the connection screws. Since the diameter of the connection through holes 11 is greater than the diameter of the screw connection holes 21 and a screw head of the connection screws has a larger diameter than the connection through holes 11, it is ensured that in a case of the connection screws being not tightened, the adjusting rod 10 can be rotatably adjusted on the connection screws, so as to realize position change and make real-time adjustment to the pull force of the tension spring 8. After the synchronous belt 9 is tensioned, the connection screws are tightened to fix both ends of the adjusting rod 10 to the front plate 1 and the rear plate 2 respectively. Therefore, the tensioning adjustment can be simply carried out, so as to avoid the negative impact brought by the decrease of the elasticity of the tension spring 8 and the tensioning force of the synchronous belt 9 after a period of use.

(12) As shown in FIG. 2, a tension spring hooking plate 61 is disposed on an outer wall of the motor frame 6; a first tension spring hooking hole 62 for hooking one end of the tension spring 8 is disposed on the tension spring hooking plate 61; two spaced second tension spring hooking holes 102 are disposed in a middle portion of the adjusting rod 10, and a partition part 103 of the two second tension spring hooking holes 102 is used to hook the other end of the tension spring 8. With the first tension spring hooking hole 62 on the tension spring hooking plate 61 and the partition part 103, the hooks at both ends of the tension spring 8 can be fixedly connected and thus the connectivity of the tension spring 8 can be guaranteed.

(13) As shown in FIG. 2, the motor frame 6 comprises a frame body 601 and a cover plate 602; a swing arm 603 is connected at a side of the frame body 601; an end of the swing arm 603 is rotatably connected on the supporting seat 5, and the cover plate 602 is disposed on the frame body 601; the tension spring hooking plate 61 is disposed on the cover plate 602. By the swing arm 603, the frame body 601 can be entirely rotated, and the tension spring hooking plate 61 can be easily manufactured by the cover plate 602, so as to perform better cooperation with the tension spring 8 and achieve easy mounting effect. The drive shaft of the motor 7 transversely penetrates through the frame body 601 to connect with the synchronous belt wheel 71. When the drive shaft transversely penetrates through the frame body 601, the mounting stability of the motor 7 can be guaranteed and the drive shaft can also be limited, ensuring the transmission stability and accuracy of the drive shaft.

(14) As shown in FIG. 2, the supporting seat 5 comprises a supporting bottom plate 51, a first ear plate 52 and a second ear plate 53; the supporting bottom plate 51 is fixedly disposed on a top surface of the base 3; the first ear plate 52 and the second ear plate 53 are disposed in a spacing on a top surface of the supporting bottom plate 51; a pin shaft is connected between the first ear plate 52 and the second ear plate 53; a rotation through hole is disposed at an end of the swing arm 603, and the swing arm 603 is sleeved on the pin shaft through the rotation through hole. By the first ear plate 52 and the second ear plate 53, the pin shaft can be easily mounted. By the rotation through hole, the swing arm 603 can be rotatably connected, increasing the rotation flexibility.

(15) As shown in FIG. 2, the left and right sides of the adjusting rod 10 are both bent upward to form respective supporting vertical plates 104. By the supporting vertical plates 104, the entire supporting and structural strength of the adjusting rod 10 can be further improved. A middle part of the adjusting rod 10 is bulged upward to form a supporting convex surface 105. The supporting convex surface 105 further improves the entire supporting and structural strength of the adjusting rod 10.
