DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clothes drying machine 200 provided in this embodiment is shown, comprising a main unit 201, a clothes drying rod assembly 202, and a lifting assembly 203. The main unit 201 can be installed on a ceiling or suspended ceiling, and the lifting assembly 203 connects the main unit 201 and the clothes drying rod assembly 202 and drives the clothes drying rod assembly 202 to rise and fall relative to the main unit.

[0064] The clothes drying machine 200 adopts a full-screen lighting fixture assembly. After the drying rod assembly 202 is stored on the upper side of the main unit 201, when viewed from below, only the full-screen lighting fixture assembly is visible on the appearance of the clothes drying machine 200, so it has good concealment. The clothes drying machine 200 in the stored state can be used as a ceiling lamp.

[0065] When components inside the main unit 201 or the lamp assembly itself need to be replaced or repaired, how to quickly and conveniently remove the lamp assembly from the main unit housing is one of the problems that this type of clothes drying machine needs to solve. Therefore, the clothes drying machine 200 provided in this embodiment also includes a clothes drying machine lamp quick-detachment structure 100.

[0066] like Figures 3 to 20 The quick-detachable structure 100 of the lamp for clothes drying machine provided in this embodiment includes a main body shell 101, a side panel assembly 102 and a lamp assembly 103. Figure 3As shown, the main body housing 101 and the lamp assembly 103 are roughly rectangular, having four side faces, a first side f1, a second side f2 opposite to the first side f1, a third side f3, and a fourth side f4 opposite to the third side f3. In this embodiment, the first side f1 and the second side f2 are two opposite sides where the short sides of the rectangular parallelepiped are located, and the third side f3 and the fourth side f4 are two opposite sides where the long sides of the rectangular parallelepiped are located.

[0067] The main body shell 101 includes a bottom shell 101a, two side shells 101b and two end covers 101c. The two side shells 101b are installed on the third side f3 and the fourth side f4 of the bottom shell 101a. The two side plate assemblies 102 are installed on the first side f1 and the second side f2 of the bottom shell 101a. The two end covers 101c cover the outer sides of the two side plate assemblies 102.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, the side panel assembly 102 includes a first side panel 10 and a second side panel 20 fixed to both ends of the host housing 101. The lamp assembly 103 is assembled to the lower side of the host housing 101, and the first side f1 and the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 are respectively attached to the first side panel 10 and the second side panel 20.

[0069] A plug-in structure is provided between the first side f1 of the lamp assembly 103 and the first side panel 10 , a first quick-release assembly 30 is provided on the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 opposite to the first side f1 , and a second quick-release assembly 40 is provided on the inner side of the second side panel 20 to cooperate with the first quick-release assembly 30 .

[0070] like Figures 9 to 20 As can be seen from the disassembly process shown, during assembly, the first side f1 of the lamp assembly 103 is first plugged and fixed to the first side panel 10 through the plug-in structure, and then the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 is assembled and fixed to the second side panel 20 from bottom to top through the first quick-release assembly 30 and the second quick-release assembly 40.

[0071] During disassembly, the first quick-release assembly 30 and the second quick-release assembly 40 drive the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 to longitudinally separate from the second side panel 20, creating space for the plug-in structure between the first side f1 of the lamp assembly 103 and the first side panel 10 to laterally separate, so that the lamp assembly 103 can be separated from the main body housing 101.

[0072] It can be seen that the quick-disassembly structure of the clothes drying machine lamp provided by the present invention achieves at least the following three technical effects compared with the prior art: First, when disassembling the lamp assembly, the second side is first longitudinally separated from the second side panel, and then the first side is laterally separated from the second side panel, so that the lamp assembly can be directly and quickly removed from the main body shell without having to remove the side panel first; second, during the assembly and disassembly process, the lamp assembly has almost no lateral displacement relative to the main body shell, and there is no need to reserve a lateral displacement gap on the ceiling or suspended ceiling for assembly and disassembly of the lamp assembly, and the clothes drying machine main body is better hidden when embedded in the ceiling or suspended ceiling; third, the process of aligning multiple hanging fasteners with their corresponding multiple hanging fastener slots is eliminated, and assembly is simpler and more convenient.

[0073] It should be noted that the terms "longitudinal disengagement" and "lateral disengagement" are not strictly longitudinal or lateral. From the perspective of orthogonal decomposition of displacement, both displacements include a certain proportion of longitudinal and lateral components. The "longitudinal disengagement" between the second side of the lamp assembly and the second side panel primarily involves longitudinal displacement, while the "lateral disengagement" between the first side of the lamp assembly and the first side panel requires lateral relative displacement between the plug-in structures. Therefore, the terms "longitudinal disengagement" and "lateral disengagement" focus on expressing the different movement trends of the two sides during disengagement.

[0074] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first quick-release assembly 30 includes a pair of longitudinally arranged guide plates 31 and a drive assembly q disposed between the two guide plates 31. Guide slots 32 are symmetrically defined on the two guide plates 31. The guide slots 32 slope from the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 toward the first side f1, and from low to high. At least a portion of the drive assembly q spans between the two guide slots 32 and is movable along the guide slots 32.

[0075] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second quick release assembly 40 includes a lower limiting portion 41 and an upper limiting portion 42. Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, at least a portion of the drive assembly q is located at the lower end of the guide groove 32 and rests on the lower limiting portion 41 to maintain the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 in an attached state with the second side plate 20. Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, at least a portion of the driving component q is disengaged from the lower limiting portion 42 and moves from the lower end to the upper end of the guide groove 32. The upper limiting portion 42 exerts a downward force on the driving component q to disengage the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 longitudinally downward relative to the second side plate 20.

[0076] In this embodiment, the drive assembly q includes a drive rod 33 spanning between the two guide slots 32, and a spring 34 disposed within the drive rod 33. The drive assembly q, as previously described, is referred to as at least a portion of the drive rod 33. The drive rod 33 is provided with a rest portion 33a extending horizontally from the first side f1 to the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103. Abutment portions 33b are provided at both ends of the drive rod 33.

[0077] The elastic force of the spring 34 maintains the drive rod 33 at the lower end of the guide slot 32, with the resting portion 33a resting on the lower restricting portion 41, thereby maintaining the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 in the attached state with the second side plate 20. The resting portion 33a disengages from the lower restricting portion 41, and the drive rod 33 moves from the lower end of the guide slot 32 toward the upper end. The abutting portion 33b abuts against the upper restricting portion 42, and the upper restricting portion 42 exerts a downward force on the abutting portion 33b, thereby separating the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 longitudinally downward from the second side plate 20.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the longitudinal cross-section of the portion of the driving rod 33 located between the two guide plates 31 is rectangular; the two end portions extend to the outside of the guide plates 31, and their longitudinal cross-sections are circular. There are two resting portions 33a, which are arranged on the outer plane of the driving rod 33 with a rectangular cross-section. The cross-section of the portion of the driving rod 33 located in the guide groove 32 is rectangular, which can ensure that the resting portion 33a is always facing outward and can be accurately moved to the upper surface of the lower limiting portion 41 during assembly. The portions whose two ends extend to the outside of the guide plates 31 are the supporting portions 33b, and the surface of the supporting portions 33b is provided with concave and convex patterns to reduce slippage between them and the upper limiting portion 42.

[0079] Accordingly, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the lower limiting portion 41 and the upper limiting portion 42 are formed by stamping and bending the second side plate 20. The lower limiting portion 41 corresponds to the shelf portion 33a and also has two pieces, which are arranged horizontally and extend along the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 in the direction of the first side f1. The upper limiting portion 42 corresponds to the abutting portion 33b and also has two pieces, which are arranged longitudinally and extend along the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 in the direction of the first side f1, and abut the abutting portion 33b of the drive rod 33 with its lower side edge. The lower limiting portion 41 and the upper limiting portion 42 are formed by stamping and bending the material of the second side plate 20 itself, which not only has good structural strength but also simplifies the processing technology.

[0080] Furthermore, the rest portion 33a has an upper surface that is inclined from low to high from the second side f2 to the first side f1 of the lamp assembly 103, so that during assembly, the inclined upper surface abuts against the lower limiting portion 41, guiding and pushing the driving rod 33 to move along the inner side of the guide groove 32, and the spring 34 is compressed to store energy until the rest portion 33a passes over the lower limiting portion 41, and the spring 34 is released and pushes the driving rod 33 back to the lower end, and the rest portion 33a rests on the lower limiting portion 41.

[0081] like Figure 6 As shown, the guide groove 32 has a horizontal low end, an inclined lifting section 32a and a horizontal high end, and the end of the high end has a positioning portion 32b. When necessary, the drive rod 33 can be locked in the positioning portion 32b. At this time, the drive component q is in a locked and recovered state.

[0082] The inner ends of the two guide plates 31 are provided with back plates 35. A spring 34 has one end abutting the inner side of the drive rod 33 and the other end abutting the front side of the back plate 35. In its natural state, the elastic force of the spring 34 maintains the drive rod 33 at the lower end of the guide slot 32. When an inward force is applied to the drive rod 33, it moves from the lower end to the upper end of the guide slot 32, compressing the spring 34. When this force is removed, the spring 34 releases, pushing the drive rod 33 back to the lower end of the guide slot 32.

[0083] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the plug-in structure includes at least one plug-in piece c1 disposed on the inner side of the first side panel 10 and at least one plug-in port c2 disposed on the first side f1 of the lamp assembly 103. In this embodiment, there are three pairs of plug-in pieces c1 and plug-in ports c2. The plug-in pieces c1 are inserted into the plug-in ports c2 to maintain the first side f1 of the lamp assembly 103 in an attached state with the first side panel 10.

[0084] Preferably, the plug-in piece c1 is formed by stamping and bending the first side plate 10 , and the end of the plug-in piece c1 extends along the first side f1 toward the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 , thereby improving the structural strength and simplifying the processing.

[0085] like Figures 6 to 8 、 Figure 10 As shown, the second side panel 20 is provided with a through hole k1 for inserting a tool, and the drive assembly q is provided with a pressing hole k2 opposite to the through hole k1. In this embodiment, the pressing hole k2 is located on the outer surface of the rectangular cross-section of the driving rod 33. During disassembly, a tool such as a screwdriver is inserted through the through hole k1 and pushes against the pressing hole k2, thereby moving the driving rod 33 from the lower end of the guide slot 32 to the upper end.

[0086] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 17 and Figure 19 As shown, the lamp assembly 103 includes a lamp 51 and a lamp base 52. The plug-in structure on the first side f1 of the lamp assembly 103 and the first quick-release assembly 30 on the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 are disposed on the lamp base 52. Several snap-on pieces p1 are distributed on the third side f3 and the fourth side f4 opposite to the third side f3 of the lamp assembly 103. A snap-on rib p2 is provided on the inner side of the main body housing 101. The snap-on pieces p1 snap onto the snap-on rib p2 to securely attach the lamp assembly 103 to the main body housing 101.

[0087] In this embodiment, the peripheral side of the lamp base 52 has an upwardly extending flange 53, and the snap-on piece p1 is formed by stamping and bending the flange 53. The snap-on rib p2 is also a transversely penetrating protrusion structure formed integrally with the profile of the main housing 101, also taking into account the improvement of structural strength and simplification of processing technology.

[0088] The clothes drying machine lamp quick disassembly method provided in this embodiment, wherein the disassembly object is the clothes drying machine lamp quick disassembly structure 100 provided in this embodiment, specifically comprises the following steps:

[0089] In the initial state, the lamp assembly 103 is fixed to the main body shell 101 and the side panel assembly 102. The elastic force of the spring 34 maintains the driving rod 33 at the lower end of the guide groove 32, the rest portion 33a rests on the lower limiting portion 41, and the plug-in piece c1 is inserted into the plug interface c2.

[0090] Step 1: The driving rod 33 is pushed and disengaged from the lower restricting portion 41. In actual operation, a tool such as a screwdriver is used to pass through the through hole k1 and push the pressing hole k2 to push the driving rod 33 inward, so that the rest portion 33a is disengaged from the lower restricting portion 41.

[0091] Step 2: The driving rod 33 moves from the lower end to the upper end of the guide groove 32 , and the abutting portion 33 b of the driving rod 33 abuts against the upper limiting portion 42 ; the spring 34 is compressed.

[0092] Step 3: The drive rod 33 moves to the upper end of the guide slot 32. The upper restraining portion 42 exerts a downward force on the abutting portion 33b of the drive rod 33, disengaging the second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 longitudinally and downwardly from the second side panel 20. This creates space for the interlocking structure between the first side f1 of the lamp assembly 103 and the first side panel 10 to disengage laterally. During this process, the latching pieces p1 on the third and fourth sides f3, f4 of the lamp assembly 103 gradually separate from the latching ribs p2 on the inner side of the main body housing 101.

[0093] Step 4: The plug-in structure between the first side f1 of the lamp assembly 103 and the first side plate 10 is laterally disengaged, the plug-in piece c1 leaves the plug-in port c2, and the lamp assembly 103 is separated from the main body housing 101. At the same time,

[0094] Furthermore, the clothes drying machine lamp quick assembly method provided in this embodiment, wherein the assembly object is the clothes drying machine lamp quick disassembly structure 100 provided in this embodiment, specifically comprises the following steps:

[0095] Step 1: The plug-in structure between the first side f1 of the lamp assembly 103 and the first side plate 10 is plugged and fixed, and the plug-in piece c1 is inserted into the plug-in port c2.

[0096] Step 2: The second side f2 of the lamp assembly 103 is pushed into the second side plate 20 from bottom to top. The inclined upper surface of the shelf portion 33a abuts against the lower limiting portion 41, guiding and pushing the driving rod 33 to move along the inner side of the guide groove 32, and the spring 34 is compressed to store energy.

[0097] During this process, the snap-fit ​​pieces p1 on the third side f3 and the fourth side f4 of the lamp assembly 103 are snap-fitted and fixed to the snap-fit ​​ribs p2 on the inner side of the main housing 101 one by one.

[0098] Step 3: The rest portion 33 a passes over the lower limiting portion 41 , the spring 34 is released and pushes the driving rod 33 back to the lower end, and the rest portion 33 a rests on the lower limiting portion 41 .

[0099] From this, we can see dynamically and intuitively that when disassembling the lamp assembly, first separate the second side from the second side panel longitudinally, and then separate the first side from the second side panel laterally. Thus, there is no need to remove the side panel first, and the lamp assembly can be directly and quickly removed from the main housing. When assembling, first plug and fix the first side and the first side panel laterally, and then push the second side into the second side panel from bottom to top. These two actions can complete the assembly and fixation, which is quite convenient.
