[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are only descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] It should be noted that: Similar reference numerals represent similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it will not be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the invention is customarily placed during use. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1-7, this embodiment provides a surface-mounted hidden double-rod clothes dryer, which includes a main body housing 1, a power assembly 2 located inside the main body housing 1, a drying rod 3, and a traction rope 4.

[0039] As Figure 1-2 shown in Figures 4-6, the main body housing 1 is the main structure of the clothes dryer. Its overall shape is a flat cube structure, including shell side walls 11 on both sides in the width direction and shell end walls 12 on both sides in the length direction. A receiving groove 13 extending in the length direction is provided on the shell side wall 11 of the main body housing 1. When the drying rod 3 is in the ascending and retracting state, the entire drying rod 3 is retracted into the receiving groove 13 on the shell side wall 11. The outer dimensions of the receiving groove 13 and the drying rod 3 match, ensuring that the drying rod 3 can be stably and tightly received in the receiving groove 13. The advantage of this design is that when the drying rod 3 is completely retracted, the occupied space of the entire clothes dryer is greatly reduced, and at the same time, the appearance of the main body housing 1 is more concise and smooth.

[0040] Similar to traditional clothes dryers, in this technical solution, the power source of the drying rod 3 comes from the power assembly 2 located inside the main body housing 1, and the connection and transmission are achieved through the traction rope 4. The difference is that the traction rope 4 is led out from the power assembly 2 through the receiving groove 13 on the side of the housing and connected to the drying rod 3 instead of being led out from the end of the housing. The power assembly 2 drives the traction rope 4 to wind and unwind, and the drying rod 3 is lifted and lowered relative to the main body housing 1 under the traction of the winding and unwinding of the traction rope 4. When the traction rope 4 is retracted and the drying rod 3 rises to the rated position, the drying rod 3 turns laterally and enters the receiving groove 13. At this time, the entire traction rope 4 enters the interior of the housing blocked by the drying rod 3, realizing the complete hiding of the traction rope 4.

[0041] The traction rope 4 of traditional clothes dryers is usually led out from the end of the main body housing. In this way, when the drying rod 3 is retracted, the traction rope 4 is often exposed, which not only affects the overall aesthetics but also makes the traction rope 4 easily affected by moisture, dust, etc., affecting the smooth movement of the traction rope 4 and its own strength.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the drying rod 3 rises to the rated position, it can be laterally flipped and enter the receiving groove 13. This design not only realizes the hiding of the drying rod 3, but also blocks the traction rope 4 inside the housing by the drying rod 3, further enhancing the stability of the system. In the storage state of the drying rod 3, the traction rope 4 is completely hidden and fixed inside the housing, avoiding damage caused by external collision or accidental pulling, as well as pollution by external water vapor and dust, extending the service life of the traction rope 4, and at the same time improving the long-term flexibility and safety of the system operation.

[0043] As Figure 1-2 shown, the drying rod 3 includes a rod bottom wall 31, and when the drying rod 3 moves up and down, the rod bottom wall 31 always faces downward. A plurality of spaced-apart clothes drying holes are provided on the drying rod 3 or a plurality of concave clothes drying grooves 32 are provided along the upper edge of the drying rod 3.

[0044] As Figures 3-7 shown, the outer contour of the rod bottom wall 31 matches the notch of the receiving groove 13 in terms of shape and size. When the drying rod 3 rises to the rated position and is flipped under the action of the traction rope 4, the rod bottom wall 31 is flipped to the side, and it can be smoothly and steadily docked with the receiving groove 13. When it enters the receiving groove 13, the rod bottom wall 31 is flush with the housing side wall 11. This flipping action and the matching design of the rod bottom wall 31 and the housing side wall 11 not only realize the hiding of the drying rod 3, but also make the drying rod 3 and the main body housing form a unified whole visually. When viewed from the side, the drying rod 3 is seamlessly connected with the housing side wall 11, and the side of the entire clothes dryer presents simple and smooth lines, without obvious gaps or abruptness, as if it is a complete decorative component rather than a simple clothes drying tool.

[0045] In addition, in other alternative embodiments, the rod bottom wall 31 can be designed as a decorative pattern that finally protrudes from the housing side wall 11. When the drying rod 3 enters the receiving groove 13, the rod bottom wall 31 not only fills the space of the receiving groove 13, but also jointly constructs a side with a unique visual effect with the housing side wall 11. This decorative pattern can be personalized according to different home styles, such as modern minimalist style, European classical style or Chinese traditional style, etc. In this way, the drying rod 3 is not only a practical clothes drying tool, but also an artistic decorative element that can add unique beauty to the home environment.

[0046] As Figure 3 、 7 shown, a lighting component 5 is provided inside the main body housing 1, and its function is not limited to providing lighting, but is also an aesthetic design of the clothes drying system in the non-use state.

[0047] As Figure 3 、 7As shown, the main body housing 1 is divided into upper and lower two-layer spaces. In the upper space, a power component 2 and a winding component related to the traction rope 4 are arranged. In the lower space, a lighting component 5 is arranged. The lower surface of the main body housing 1 is integrally designed as a light guide surface 14, so that the light of the lighting component 5 can be evenly emitted.

[0048] More preferably, the main body housing 1 is divided into two spliced independent components, an upper layer body 101 and a lower layer body 102. The lower layer body 102 is an integrated large-screen LED lamp, and the upper layer body 101 is a frame member. The power component 2 and the winding component related to the traction rope 4 are arranged in the upper layer body 101, and the receiving groove 13 is also located on the side wall of the upper layer body 101.

[0049] By laterally storing the drying rod 3 in the receiving groove 13, when viewed from below, the clothes dryer resembles a ceiling lamp, perfectly integrating into the decoration style of modern homes and greatly enhancing the aesthetics of the clothes drying system. This hidden drying rod 3 design not only solves the problem of the traditional drying rod occupying space when not in use, but also through a clever structural design, enables the clothes drying system to blend into the indoor environment in the non-use state and become a part of the home decoration, rather than simply a household item.

[0050] More preferably, an auxiliary lighting component is provided in the drying rod 3, and the bottom wall 31 of the rod is an auxiliary light guide surface. The drying rod 3 can be connected to a power supply itself to achieve continuous power supply, or an interface can be provided and the power supply line in the main body housing 1 can be connected when the drying rod 3 is stored in the receiving groove 13 to achieve power supply. Setting an auxiliary lighting component in the drying rod 3 not only plays a role in enhancing lighting, but also further improves the overall aesthetics.

[0051] As Figure 3 、 6 、shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the traction rope 4 is horizontally led out from the power component 2 in the middle of the main body housing 1 along the length direction of the main body housing 1, and after passing around a guide shaft 6, it turns to extend along the width direction of the main body housing 1 to the side of the main body housing 1 and enters the receiving groove 13, and after passing through the guide member 8, it is connected to the drying rod 3. The function of the guide member 8 is to turn the horizontally extending traction rope 4 from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction, so as to be able to pull the drying rod 3 located below the main body housing 1. Such a line setting enables the drying rod 3 to rise to the side of the main body housing 1 and be at the same height as the receiving groove 13, and then can be turned over and enter the receiving groove 13.

[0052] It should be noted that the drying rod 3 can be adaptively turned over under the action of the traction rope 4 through the cooperation design of the receiving groove 13 slot and the shape of the drying rod 3, or as in this embodiment, a turning component 7 is provided at the receiving groove 13 to assist the drying rod 3 in turning over.

[0053] In this embodiment, the flipping of the drying rod 3 is driven by the flipping assembly 7. When the flipping assembly 7 is in the first position, the drying rod 3 is pulled upward by the traction rope 4 and combined with the flipping assembly 7. The flipping assembly 7 flips inward to the second position, and the drying rod 3 flips laterally into the receiving groove 13.

[0054] As Figures 1-3 shown, the guide member 8 is provided on the flipping assembly 7, and the traction rope 4 passes through the flipping assembly 7 to connect to the drying rod 3. The guide member 8 is a pulley provided on the flipping assembly 7.

[0055] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, the outer contour of the bottom wall 31 of the rod matches the notch of the receiving groove 13, and the cross-section of the drying rod 3 shrinks upward from the bottom wall 31 of the rod, so that the drying rod 3 has a rotation space when entering the receiving groove 13, and thus can flip while entering the receiving groove 13.

[0056] As Figure 1 shown, the upper side of the receiving groove 13 includes an inclined groove wall 13a that slopes downward, so that the receiving groove 13 also forms a state where the notch width is small and the internal space is large, which is more conducive to the flipping of the flipping assembly 7 and the drying rod 3.

[0057] An exposed and hidden double-rod clothes dryer provided by the present invention has been introduced. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the present invention and its core idea. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
