Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of clothes drying equipment, and more particularly to a telescopic bracket and a clothes drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Retractable clotheslines are a convenient device in modern home life. They can raise and lower the clothesline through a specific mechanical device, making it convenient for users to dry clothes at different heights.

[0003] Currently, with technological advancements and diversified consumer demands, retractable clothes drying racks are increasingly trending towards miniaturization to enhance their aesthetics when folded and minimize visual obtrusion when not in use, becoming an integral part of home décor rather than simply a practical tool. However, in pursuing aesthetics and space-saving, the drying area and expandable accessories offered by retractable clothes drying racks are correspondingly limited. A balance between the product's form and its functionality is difficult to achieve, failing to meet consumers' higher-level needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a telescopic bracket and a clothes drying rack that can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, a telescopic bracket is provided for use in clothes drying equipment, comprising:

[0007] The bracket housing is used to connect to the lifting assembly of the clothes drying equipment;

[0008] A telescopic frame is movably mounted on the bracket housing. The telescopic frame is linked to the power unit of the clothes drying equipment. During the process of the power unit of the clothes drying equipment driving the bracket housing to rise and fall through the lifting component, the telescopic frame moves in a direction that approaches or moves away from the bracket housing.

[0009] As an optional implementation, at least two telescopic frames are provided, and each telescopic frame is linked to the power unit of the clothes drying equipment.

[0010] During the process of the power unit of the clothes drying equipment driving the bracket shell to rise and fall through the lifting assembly, each of the telescopic frames moves in a direction that approaches or moves away from each other.

[0011] As an optional implementation, at least two telescopic frames are provided, one of which is linked to the power unit of the clothes drying equipment, and the telescopic frames are sequentially driven and coordinated with each other.

[0012] During the process of the power unit of the clothes drying equipment driving the bracket shell to rise and fall through the lifting assembly, each of the telescopic frames moves in a direction that approaches or moves away from each other.

[0013] As an optional implementation, it also includes:

[0014] A drive component is movably disposed on the bracket housing. The drive component is used to connect with the lifting assembly of the clothes drying equipment. During the process of the power unit of the clothes drying equipment driving the bracket housing to rise and fall through the lifting assembly, the drive component reciprocates relative to the bracket housing in a preset direction.

[0015] The drive component and the telescopic frame are connected by a first transmission assembly.

[0016] As an optional implementation, the direction of movement of the drive component is opposite to the direction of movement of the corresponding telescopic frame;

[0017] The first transmission assembly includes:

[0018] The first rack is connected to the driving component for transmission.

[0019] The first transmission gear is tractably disposed on the bracket housing and meshes with the first rack;

[0020] The second rack is fixedly mounted on the telescopic frame and meshes with the first transmission gear, and the second rack extends along the direction of movement of the telescopic frame.

[0021] As an optional implementation, the telescopic frame is configured in multiple ways;

[0022] The number of the driving components and the first transmission assembly is the same as the number of the telescopic frame, and each driving component is respectively connected to the corresponding telescopic frame through a first transmission assembly; or

[0023] The driving component and the first transmission assembly are both configured as one unit, wherein one of the telescopic frames is connected to the driving component via the first transmission assembly, and any two adjacent telescopic frames are connected via the second transmission assembly.

[0024] As an optional implementation, the second transmission assembly includes:

[0025] The third rack is fixedly installed in one of the telescopic frames;

[0026] The second transmission gear is rotatably mounted on the bracket housing and meshes with the third rack;

[0027] The fourth rack is fixedly mounted on another telescopic frame and meshes with the second transmission gear.

[0028] As an optional implementation, the driving component abuts against the first transmission assembly along the first direction. During the movement of the driving component along the first direction, the driving component drives the telescopic frame to move away from the bracket housing through the first transmission assembly.

[0029] An elastic element is further provided between the bracket housing and the telescopic frame or the first transmission assembly. The elastic element is used to continuously apply an elastic force to the telescopic frame to move it closer to the bracket housing.

[0030] As an optional implementation, the telescopic rack has a drying position away from the bracket housing and a storage position close to the bracket housing in its direction of movement;

[0031] A locking structure is provided between the telescopic frame and the bracket housing. The locking structure is used to lock the telescopic frame in the drying position. The driving component is provided with a trigger part. The locking structure is located on the active path of the trigger part, so that the driving component can trigger the locking structure to unlock through the trigger part during the movement of the second direction.

[0032] The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0033] Secondly, a clothes drying rack is provided, comprising:

[0034] The main unit is equipped with a power unit;

[0035] A lifting assembly, the first end of which is mounted on the main unit;

[0036] As described in the first aspect, the second end of the lifting assembly is movably mounted on the bracket housing, and the bracket housing is also connected to the power unit via a traction member, and the telescopic frame is provided with a drying rod.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The telescopic bracket, by allowing the telescopic frame to move relative to the bracket housing, establishes a linkage between the telescopic frame and the power unit of the clothes drying equipment. As the bracket housing rises and falls with the lifting components of the clothes drying equipment, the telescopic frame can extend or retract accordingly, depending on the state of the clothes drying equipment. Thus, the drying rod installed on the telescopic frame can be close to the bracket housing when the clothes drying equipment is in its raised, retracted, non-use state, facilitating the overall storage of the equipment and ensuring its integrity and aesthetics. When the clothes drying equipment is in its lowered, used state, the drying rod moves with the telescopic frame to a position relatively far from the bracket housing, providing a larger drying area for the clothes. This not only increases the drying capacity of the equipment but also widens the spacing between clothes, thereby improving the drying effect. This invention meets the aesthetic and functional requirements of the clothes drying equipment in different states, aligns with current consumer demands for clothes drying equipment, enhances the user experience, and is suitable for widespread promotion and application.

Detailed Implementation

[0059] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0061] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0062] A retractable clothesline is a common drying tool in modern homes. It can be raised or lowered manually or electrically, allowing users to conveniently hang clothes at different heights. Generally, retractable clotheslines come in two types: manual and electric. Manual retractable clotheslines use a hand crank or similar control mechanism, raising and lowering the clothesline by raising and lowering a rope; their structure is relatively simple. Electric retractable clotheslines, on the other hand, typically use an electric motor to drive the rope, and they usually also come with a remote control function, allowing users to easily control the raising and lowering of the clothesline from a distance.

[0063] As the background technology shows, with the advancement of technology and the diversification of consumer demands, retractable clothes drying racks have gradually trended towards miniaturization to improve their aesthetics when stored. The aim is to minimize visual obtrusion when not in use, becoming an integral part of home décor rather than simply a practical tool. Especially with recessed clothes drying racks, which are typically designed to be embedded in the ceiling or wall, the width and number of drying rods are more restrained, allowing them to be stored within the recessed main unit when not in use, achieving space saving and maintaining a clean and aesthetically pleasing home environment. However, while pursuing aesthetics and space saving, the drying area and expandable accessories offered by retractable clothes drying racks are also correspondingly limited. The product's form and functionality are difficult to balance, failing to meet higher-level consumer needs.

[0064] In view of this, this embodiment provides a telescopic bracket that can be applied to clothes drying equipment. The telescopic bracket movably mounts a telescopic frame for connecting the drying rod on the bracket housing for the lifting component of the clothes drying equipment, and links the telescopic frame with the power unit of the clothes drying equipment. This allows the telescopic frame to drive the drying rod to make corresponding movements according to different states of the clothes drying equipment, thereby solving the problem of the difficulty in balancing the appearance and function of the clothes drying equipment, which makes it impossible to achieve both aesthetics and practicality.

[0065] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 5-11 The telescopic bracket includes a bracket housing 10 and a telescopic frame 20. The bracket housing 10 serves as the supporting foundation for the telescopic bracket. In practical applications of the clothes drying equipment, it connects to the lifting assembly 80 of the clothes drying equipment and provides the corresponding installation space and position for the telescopic frame 20, allowing the bracket housing 10 to move synchronously with the lifting assembly 80 in raising and lowering the telescopic bracket. To ensure good structural stability of the telescopic bracket during use of the clothes drying equipment, it can be made of sturdy and durable materials, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel. Furthermore, the shape and size of the bracket housing 10 can be designed according to the overall design of the clothes drying equipment and user requirements; this embodiment does not impose strict limitations or requirements in these aspects.

[0066] It is important to understand that the lifting assembly 80 can serve both as a medium for transmitting lifting power to the clothes drying device and as a component for stabilizing the lifting movement of the clothes drying device relative to the bracket housing 10. A scissor-shaped frame is a common structural form of the lifting assembly 80. It typically consists of two scissor arms 81 and a support, resembling the two blades of scissors, connected by the support to form a telescopic and foldable structure. This structure allows the scissor-shaped frame to remain stable when the drying rod 90 bears weight, while also allowing the clothes drying device to move smoothly during the lifting and lowering process of the drive bracket housing 10. Of course, the lifting assembly 80 can also be configured as a traction component such as a wire rope or drive belt. When connected to the power unit 71 of the clothes drying device and the bracket housing 10, the traction component can also transmit the lifting power applied by the power unit 71.

[0067] In addition to the common steel wire rope or transmission belt, the lifting component 80 of the lifting clothes drying rack can also adopt other structural forms to realize the lifting function of the bracket housing 10, including but not limited to chains, racks and pinions, screw lifting mechanisms (such as lead screw pairs), synchronous belts and synchronous pulleys, etc. Since the above-mentioned transmission structures used to transmit lifting power are all common mechanical structures in the field of mechanics, this embodiment will not describe them in detail one by one.

[0068] It should be noted that the specific structural forms of the lifting components 80 listed above are not necessarily the only ones to be used in the actual application scenarios of clothes drying equipment. The lifting components 80 can be combined according to the specific needs of the clothes drying equipment. For example, when the lifting components 80 are set as scissors connecting the main unit of the clothes drying equipment and the bracket housing 10, the bracket housing 10 and the power unit 71 of the clothes drying machine can be further connected by steel wire rope. On the basis of the lifting power transmission between the power unit 71 and the bracket housing 10 through the steel wire rope, the stability of the bracket housing 10 (drying rod 90) in different positions and during the lifting process can be further improved by the scissors.

[0069] Based on the telescopic frame 20 being movably mounted on the bracket housing 10, the telescopic frame 20 is equipped with a drying rod 90 in the actual application scenario of the clothes drying equipment. The drying rod 90 can provide a corresponding hanging position for the clothes that need to be dried, so as to determine the basic drying area that the clothes drying equipment can provide according to the specific structural design of the drying rod 90.

[0070] In one embodiment, multiple telescopic racks 20 can be provided on the same bracket housing 10 to provide multiple drying rods 90, thereby expanding the basic drying area of ​​the drying equipment and further expanding the extended drying area of ​​the telescopic racks 20 after they move relative to the bracket housing 10.

[0071] Furthermore, this embodiment does not specifically limit whether the telescopic frame 20 is located outside or inside the bracket housing 10. However, in some embodiments, in order for the bracket housing 10 to serve to store and protect the telescopic frame 20, a hollow receiving cavity can be formed inside the bracket housing 10. This allows the telescopic frame 20 to be at least partially movable within the receiving cavity, while also allowing the bracket housing 10 to provide corresponding installation space and position for other related components through the receiving cavity.

[0072] Based on the above, in the actual application scenario of the clothes drying equipment, the telescopic frame 20 establishes a linkage mechanism with the power unit 71 of the clothes drying equipment. This ensures that while the power unit 71 of the clothes drying equipment drives the bracket housing 10 to rise and fall through the lifting component 80, the telescopic frame 20 can extend and retract in a direction close to or away from the bracket housing 10 (such as horizontal or vertical directions; in this embodiment, there are no strict limitations or requirements on the specific direction of movement of the telescopic frame 20). This linkage mechanism can be established through transmission structures such as gears, chains, transmission belts, and sliders, so that the power output by the power unit 71 can both achieve the rising and falling of the bracket body and be converted into the telescopic movement of the telescopic frame 20 on the bracket housing 10.

[0073] For example, during the process of the bracket housing 10 descending relative to the main unit of the clothes drying device, the telescopic frame 20 moves away from the bracket housing 10 until the clothes drying device is in use. The drying rod 90 then extends with the telescopic frame 20 and is positioned relatively away from the bracket housing 10, providing a larger drying area for the clothes. This not only increases the drying capacity of the clothes drying device but also widens the spacing between the clothes, thereby improving the drying effect. Conversely, during the process of the bracket housing 10 rising relative to the main unit of the clothes drying device, the telescopic frame 20 moves closer to the bracket housing 10 until the clothes drying device is in the retracted state. The drying rod 90 then retracts with the telescopic frame 20 and is positioned relatively closer to the bracket housing 10, ensuring that the drying rod 90 is in the retracted position along with the bracket housing 10, maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of the device.

[0074] As can be seen from the above, the drying area provided by the drying rod 90 can be expanded by adding more telescopic frames 20 to the same bracket housing 10. In embodiments where two or more telescopic frames 20 are used, one end of each telescopic frame 20 maintains a movable fit with the bracket housing 10, while the other end is used to install the drying rod 90. During the synchronous telescopic movement of each telescopic frame 20 relative to the bracket housing 10, the distance between the ends of each telescopic frame 20 used to install the drying rod 90 gradually increases as the telescopic frame 20 extends and gradually narrows as the telescopic frame 20 retracts. This causes the gap between the drying rods 90 to increase and decrease accordingly. Through this method similar to unfolding and folding, the drying area can be widened and reduced, allowing the state of the telescopic bracket to change according to the state of the clothes drying equipment, meeting the usage needs in different scenarios.

[0075] For example, as can be seen from the above, in the actual application scenario of the clothes drying equipment, the lifting power provided by its power unit 71 can be provided by electricity or by manual operation. Furthermore, the linkage between the power unit 71 and the telescopic frame 20 can be achieved by a combination of transmission structures such as gears, chains, transmission belts, and sliders, which converts the output of the power unit 71 into the telescopic movement of the telescopic frame 20.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments, that is, in embodiments where at least two telescopic frames 20 are configured, in order to achieve synchronous telescopic movement of each telescopic frame 20 on the same bracket housing 10, at least the following two synchronous driving methods between each telescopic frame 20 will be provided:

[0077] 1. Each telescopic frame 20 is linked to the power unit 71 of the clothes drying equipment. During the process of the power unit 71 of the clothes drying equipment driving the bracket housing 10 to rise and fall through the lifting component 80, each telescopic frame 20 is driven by the power unit 71 and moves synchronously in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other.

[0078] In this embodiment, each telescopic frame 20 located on the same bracket housing 10 is connected to the power unit 71 through an independent transmission structure. This structure can improve the clarity of the telescopic bracket's structural layout. The transmission structure between each telescopic frame 20 and the power unit 71 can be inspected, maintained, and replaced independently, which to some extent is more conducive to improving the transmission stability of each telescopic frame 20.

[0079] Second, one of the telescopic frames 20 is linked to the power unit 71 of the clothes drying equipment (through a transmission component). Each telescopic frame 20 is sequentially driven and coordinated. During the process of the power unit 71 of the clothes drying equipment driving the bracket housing 10 to rise and fall through the lifting component 80, the telescopic frame 20 that is linked with the power unit 71 is driven by the power unit 71 to perform corresponding telescopic movements. The remaining telescopic frames 20 are sequentially driven during the movement of the telescopic frames 20 that are linked with the power unit 71, so that each telescopic frame 20 sequentially drives each other to perform telescopic movements. Finally, they move in directions that are closer to or further away from each other according to the state of the clothes drying equipment.

[0080] In this embodiment, only a transmission structure is needed between the power unit 71 of the clothes drying equipment and one of the telescopic brackets 20. The power unit 71 drives the telescopic bracket 20 to move, thereby enabling sequential linkage between the telescopic brackets 20 and realizing the expansion and contraction of the drying area. This ensures that the telescopic brackets 20 remain synchronized when extending or retracting, avoiding system instability or malfunctions caused by asynchrony. In this structural form, there is no need to set up too many transmission structures between the power unit 71 and each telescopic bracket, thereby improving the overall structural compactness and integration of the clothes drying equipment. The bracket shell 10 also does not need to provide a large storage space and installation position for too many components and materials, which is conducive to the miniaturization design and center of gravity layout of the clothes drying equipment.

[0081] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 5-11 The telescopic bracket also includes a drive component 30, which is movably disposed on the bracket housing 10. In the actual application scenario of the clothes drying equipment, the drive component 30 is used to connect with the lifting assembly 80 of the clothes drying equipment so that when the power unit 71 of the clothes drying equipment drives the bracket housing 10 to rise and fall through the lifting assembly 80, the drive component 30 can also be linked with the power unit 71 through the lifting assembly 80 and reciprocate along a preset direction on the bracket housing 10.

[0082] The drive component 30 and the telescopic frame 20 are connected by a first transmission assembly 40. It should be noted that this embodiment does not specifically limit the direction of movement of the drive component 30 on the bracket housing 10. In one embodiment, the direction of movement of the drive component 30 can be set to be parallel to the telescopic direction of the corresponding telescopic frame 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the direction of movement of the drive component 30 and the telescopic direction of the telescopic frame 20 can also be set at an angle depending on the specific transmission structure of the first transmission assembly 40. For example, the drive component 30 moves vertically relative to the bracket housing 10, and the first transmission assembly 40 converts the vertical movement into horizontal movement, thereby causing the telescopic frame 20 to be driven by the first transmission assembly 40 to telescopically extend and retract in the horizontal direction.

[0083] As can be seen from the above, the power provided by the drive component 30 moving in a preset direction can be transmitted to the telescopic frame 20 through the first transmission component, allowing the telescopic frame 20 to extend or retract in the direction of the drive component 30 toward or away from the bracket housing 10. In the above solution, the first transmission component 40 is directly disposed between the drive component 30 and the telescopic frame 20 for connection with the lifting component 80. It can directly realize the movement of the drive component 30 on the bracket housing 10 through the power generated by the lifting component 80 during its movement. By using the lifting component 80 as part of the transmission structure, the need for an additional complex transmission structure between the power unit 71 and the telescopic frame 20 is eliminated. This can effectively improve the structural compactness of the telescopic bracket in the application scenario of clothes drying equipment, and can also effectively reduce the overall material quantity of the clothes drying equipment, controlling the additional costs brought about by the clothes drying equipment after the telescopic bracket is used.

[0084] In addition, by using the lifting assembly 80 to link the telescopic frame 20 with the drive component 30 and the first transmission assembly 40, the risk of failure due to an excessive number of material components caused by setting up an additional transmission structure can be effectively reduced, thus improving the stability and reliability of the clothes drying equipment. Furthermore, to accommodate the miniaturized design of the clothes drying equipment and to consider the overall size of the equipment, the size of the bracket housing 10 should not be too large. Therefore, the space available for the drive component 30 to move on the bracket housing 10 is relatively small. Given the limited travel range of the drive component 30 on the bracket housing 10, the first transmission assembly 40 can also adjust the transmission ratio between the drive component 30 and the telescopic frame 20. By increasing the transmission ratio between the drive component 30 and the telescopic frame 20, the travel range of the telescopic frame 20 on the bracket housing 10 can be expanded, thereby further widening the drying area provided by the clothes drying equipment after it is unfolded.

[0085] As can be seen from the above driving method one, in the embodiment where the telescopic frame 20 is set to at least two, each telescopic frame 20 establishes a linkage relationship with the power unit 71 independently. Therefore, in the embodiment where the telescopic bracket also includes a driving component 30 and a first transmission component 40, each telescopic frame 20 is configured to be connected to the lifting component 80 through an independent driving component 30 and a first transmission component 40 respectively.

[0086] For example, the first transmission component 40 of this embodiment can, but is not limited to, achieve the linkage between the lifting component 80 (power unit 71) and the telescopic frame 20 through a combination of one or more transmission methods such as gear transmission, chain transmission, belt transmission, linkage transmission (such as a diamond four-bar linkage), lead screw transmission, and worm gear transmission. For example, gear transmission and chain transmission may be used to achieve a precise transmission ratio and smooth movement; belt transmission may be used for buffering and shock absorption; linkage transmission may be used to change the movement trajectory and direction; lead screw transmission may be used to achieve precise lifting and positioning; and worm gear transmission may be used for low-speed heavy-load transmission and self-locking function.

[0087] The following explanation, using the embodiment where the lifting component 80 is configured as a scissor frame as an example, will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings (Figure 2-). Figure 4 The scissor-shaped clothes drying rack works by folding the scissor arms 81 together to raise and lower the outer shell 10 of the drying rack on the clothes drying device. When the clothes drying device needs the outer shell 10 of the drying rack to raise the telescopic frame 20 (and the drying rack), the two hinged scissor arms 81 will expand outwards, and the upward and downward angles between them will gradually increase. The distance between the two ends of the scissor arms 81 will also decrease, causing the height of the drying rod 90 to gradually rise. Conversely, when the clothes drying device needs the outer shell 10 of the drying rack (along with the telescopic frame 20 and the drying rod 90) to lower, the two hinged scissor arms 81 will narrow inwards, and the upward and downward angles between them will gradually decrease. The distance between the two ends of the scissor arms 81 will also increase, causing the height of the drying rod 90 to gradually decrease.

[0088] According to the design requirements of the clothes drying equipment, multiple scissor frames can be installed between the bracket housing 10 and the main unit housing 70 of the clothes drying equipment, so that the height position of the bracket housing 10 in different states can be determined according to the number of scissor frames.

[0089] Therefore, to ensure that the bracket housing 10 can be driven by the scissor frame, which serves as the lifting assembly 80, the two scissor arms 81 at both ends of the scissor frame that are connected to the bracket housing 10 need to be in a sliding connection manner to avoid interference between the two hinged scissor arms 81 and the connection structure between them and the bracket housing 10 when adjusting their angle. In this embodiment, the telescopic bracket also includes a drive component 30, which acts as a slider and is rotatably connected to the scissor arms 81 in the scissor frame. This allows the scissor arms 81 to form a sliding connection with the bracket housing 10 through the drive component 30, thus achieving the effect of linkage between the drive component 30 and the lifting assembly 80.

[0090] Referring to the attached figure 1- Figure 11As mentioned above, during the upward movement of the bracket housing 10, the two hinged scissor arms 81 in the scissor frame will move along the unfolding direction. However, in the product design requirements of the clothes drying equipment, during the upward movement of the bracket housing 10, each telescopic frame 20 needs to move along the retracting direction close to the bracket housing 10. Therefore, in this embodiment, the movement direction of the drive component 30 and the movement direction of the corresponding telescopic frame 20 are opposite.

[0091] In order for the drive component 30 and the telescopic frame 20 to move in opposite directions, such as Figures 5-19 As shown, in one embodiment, the first transmission component 40 includes a first rack 41, a first transmission gear 42, and a second rack 43. The first rack 41 is connected to the driving component 30. In some embodiments, the first rack 41 can move synchronously with the driving component 30 in the same direction. In other embodiments, the driving component 30 can only drive the first rack 41 to move in a single direction, and when the driving component 30 moves in the opposite direction, the first rack 41 disengages from the driving component 30. This embodiment does not have strict limitations or requirements on the extension direction of the first rack 41. However, in some embodiments, in order to fit the shape design of the bracket housing 10 and improve the space utilization of the first transmission component 40 on the bracket housing 10, and to make the size and structure of the bracket housing 10 sufficiently restrained on the clothes drying device, the first rack 41 can be configured to extend along the movement direction of the driving component 30. The first transmission gear 42 is tractably mounted on the bracket housing 10 and meshes with the first rack 41. Thus, in one embodiment, under the drive of the lifting assembly 80 (scissor frame), the first rack 41 moves in the same direction as the driving component 30, while the first transmission gear 42 rotates forward or backward on the bracket housing 10 according to the direction of movement of the driving component 30. The second rack 43 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic frame 20 and meshes with the first transmission gear 42. The second rack 43 extends along the direction of movement of the telescopic frame 20 so that during the forward or reverse rotation of the first transmission gear 42, its meshing transmission relationship with the first transmission gear 42 drives the corresponding telescopic frame 20 to move in a preset direction, thereby achieving the effect of the first rack 41 (driving component 30) and the second rack 43 (telescopic frame 20) moving in opposite directions.

[0092] Based on the above embodiments, in order to achieve the effect of increasing the transmission ratio between the drive component 30 and the telescopic frame 20, such as Figures 5-19As shown, the first transmission gear 42 includes a first gear 421 and a second gear 422. The first gear 421 and the second gear 422 are coaxially connected. The first gear 421 is smaller than the second gear 422, and the first gear 421 meshes with the first rack 41, while the second gear 422 meshes with the second rack 43, thereby increasing the transmission ratio. Alternatively, the first gear 421 and the second gear 422 can also be meshed to achieve a smaller gear driving a larger gear, thus increasing the transmission ratio. For example, as shown... Figures 12-19 As shown, the first gear 421 and the second gear 422 are spaced apart on the bracket housing 10, and they cooperate with each other through transmission components such as a transmission belt or chain.

[0093] The first transmission component 40 of this embodiment adopts the aforementioned gear and rack transmission method to establish a linkage between the drive component 30 and the telescopic frame 20. This effectively improves the load-bearing capacity and accuracy of the telescopic bracket in the application of the clothes drying equipment. It is understood that gear and rack transmission has a large load-bearing capacity and can withstand large loads and torques. At the same time, gear and rack transmission has high transmission accuracy. Therefore, this not only improves the load-bearing capacity of the drying rod 90 for drying clothes, but also ensures the motion accuracy between the telescopic frame 20 and the bracket housing 10 during the linkage with the power unit 71. This achieves the effect of accurately switching the state of the telescopic frame 20 according to different states of the clothes drying equipment, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the clothes drying equipment.

[0094] In addition, the gear and rack transmission relationship allows the telescopic frame 20 (drying rod 90) to withstand relatively large impact forces, enabling the clothes drying equipment to maintain a relatively reliable working relationship during the continuous loading and unloading of clothes, thus extending the service life of the equipment to a certain extent.

[0095] As a specific structural form of the above-mentioned driving method, in an embodiment where multiple telescopic frames 20 are configured, the number of driving components 30 and first transmission assemblies 40 is the same as the number of telescopic frames 20, and each driving component 30 is connected to a corresponding telescopic frame 20 via a first transmission assembly 40. For example, as Figures 5-11 As shown, taking the embodiment with two telescopic frames 20 as an example, the number of driving components 30 and the number of first transmission components 40 are also set to two. When the two telescopic frames 20 are respectively set on opposite sides of the bracket housing 10, the two driving components 30 and the first transmission components 40 are also set on the two sides of the bracket housing 10 in an almost mirror-like manner. The two driving components 30 are connected to the two scissor arms 81 of the scissor frame respectively, so that the two telescopic frames 20 are driven by the two driving components 30 and the first driving component respectively, realizing the effect of the telescopic frames 20 being linked with the power unit 71 respectively.

[0096] As a specific structural form of the above-mentioned driving method two, the driving component 30 and the first transmission component 40 are both set as one, wherein a telescopic frame 20 is connected to the driving component 30 through the first transmission component 40, and each telescopic frame 20 is arranged in a preset direction on the bracket housing 10, and any two adjacent telescopic frames 20 are connected by the second transmission component 50.

[0097] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 12-19 As a specific structural form of the aforementioned driving method two, and also employing a telescopic frame 20, multiple driving components 30 are also configured. Each driving component 30 is connected to the lifting assembly 80, thus being driven by the lifting assembly 80 during the movement of the telescopic assembly. Each driving component 30 is connected to the corresponding telescopic frame 20 via a first transmission assembly 40. For example, as... Figures 12-19 As shown, taking the embodiment with two telescopic frames 20 as an example, the number of driving components 30 and first transmission components 40 is set to one. One telescopic frame 20 is set on one side of the bracket housing 10. The driving component 30 and the first transmission components 40 are set close to the telescopic frame 20. The driving component 30 is connected to one of the scissor arms 81 of the scissor frame. The two telescopic frames 20 are further connected by the second transmission components 50. So that while one telescopic frame 20 is driven by the driving component 30 and the first driving component, the two telescopic frames 20 can be linked by the second transmission components 50 to achieve the purpose of moving each telescopic frame 20 away from each other.

[0098] Similar to the first transmission assembly 40, the second transmission assembly 50 can, but is not limited to, achieve linkage between two adjacent telescopic frames 20 through a combination of one or more transmission methods such as gear transmission, chain transmission, belt transmission, linkage transmission (such as a diamond four-bar linkage), lead screw transmission, and worm gear transmission.

[0099] Please continue to refer to the appendix. Figures 12-19 As a specific structural form of the second transmission component 50, the second transmission component 50 includes a third rack 51, a second transmission gear 52, and a fourth rack 53. The third rack 51 is fixedly mounted on one of the telescopic frames 20, enabling it to move synchronously with the corresponding telescopic frame 20. The second transmission gear 52 is rotatably mounted on the bracket housing 10 and meshes with the third rack 51. The second transmission gear 52 can rotate forward or backward on the bracket housing 10 according to the direction of movement of the third rack 51 (and its corresponding telescopic frame 20). The fourth rack 53 is fixedly mounted on another telescopic frame 20 and meshes with the second transmission gear 52, allowing the fourth rack 53 to drive its corresponding telescopic frame 20 to move in the opposite direction to the third rack 51 according to the rotation of the second transmission gear 52.

[0100] As can be understood from the above structural form, similar gear and rack transmission methods are used between any two adjacent telescopic frames 20 and between the telescopic frames 20 and the drive component 30. This not only ensures that each telescopic frame 20 can maintain a high load-bearing capacity and that the drying rod 90 has a strong load-bearing capacity, but also allows each telescopic frame 20 to maintain a high transmission accuracy during linkage, thereby realizing synchronous telescopic movement between each telescopic frame 20, allowing the drying area of ​​the clothes drying equipment to be effectively expanded and contracted.

[0101] In addition, by reducing the size of the second transmission gear 52, the telescopic brackets 20 that are linked together can maintain a shorter distance, thereby improving the structural compactness and integration of the telescopic brackets and facilitating the miniaturization design of clothes drying equipment.

[0102] It is worth noting that the second transmission gear 52 does not need to have two or more gear structures as the first transmission gear 42 to realize the transmission between the telescopic frames 20. The second transmission gear 52 can realize the synchronous movement of the third rack 51 and the fourth rack 53 in opposite directions through only one gear structure, thereby realizing the mutual approach and distance of the two telescopic frames 20. Of course, this embodiment does not have strict limitations or requirements on the gear structure included in the second transmission gear 52. In some other embodiments, the second transmission gear 52 can also realize the transmission connection through multiple gear structures, or even through synchronous belts.

[0103] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 5-19Based on the above-mentioned embodiment where the telescopic bracket also includes a driving component 30 and a first transmission assembly 40, the driving component 30 abuts against the first transmission assembly 40 along a first direction. During the movement of the driving component 30 along the first direction, the driving component 30 drives the telescopic frame 20 to move away from the bracket housing 10 via the first transmission assembly 40. For example, to facilitate understanding of this embodiment, this embodiment defines the direction of movement of the driving component 30 relative to the bracket housing 10 during the descent of the bracket housing 10 as the first direction, and the direction of movement of the driving component 30 relative to the bracket housing 10 during the ascent of the bracket housing 10 as the second direction; that is, the first direction and the second direction are opposite. Thus, when the bracket housing 10 descends relative to the main housing 70 of the clothes drying device, the driving component 30 (driven by the lifting assembly 80) moves along the first direction, and during this process, it drives the first driving assembly (the first rack 41 in it) to move synchronously in a pushing manner, achieving the effect of the corresponding telescopic frame 20 extending away from the bracket housing 10. During the process of the bracket housing 10 rising relative to the main housing 70 of the clothes drying device, the drive component 30 (driven by the lifting component 80) moves in the second direction. At this time, the drive component 30 will not have a transmission relationship with the first transmission component 40 (the first rack 41 in it). Without the action of other external forces, the drive component 30 will gradually disengage from the first transmission component as it moves in the second direction.

[0104] Based on the above, an elastic element 60 is further provided between the bracket housing 10 and the telescopic frame 20 or the first transmission assembly 40. Since the first transmission assembly 40 and the telescopic frame 20 maintain a cooperative relationship, when one end of the elastic element 60 is connected to the bracket housing 10, its other end can be connected to either the telescopic frame 20 itself or the first transmission assembly 40. The elastic element 60 is used to continuously apply an elastic force to the telescopic frame 20, causing it to move closer to the bracket housing 10. In this way, the first transmission assembly 40, together with the telescopic frame 20, can maintain a cooperative relationship with the drive component 30 along the second direction under the action of the elastic element 60. The first transmission assembly 40 maintains an abutting relationship with the drive component 30 along the second direction, thereby realizing the linkage relationship in which the telescopic frame 20 extends and retracts relative to the bracket housing 10 when the drive component 30 moves in the first and second directions, respectively.

[0105] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the first transmission component 40 (first rack 41) does not necessarily need to completely follow the movement of the drive component 30. In this embodiment, no additional connection structure is required between the drive component 30 and the first transmission component 40. The movement of the drive component 30 in the first direction can achieve the extension movement of the telescopic frame 20 by abutting against the first transmission component 40. When the drive component 30 moves in the second direction, the telescopic frame 20 and the first transmission component 40 can be kept abutting against the drive component 30 in the second direction under the action of the elastic member 60, so that the telescopic frame 20 retracts relative to the bracket housing 10 according to the movement of the drive component 30. The structure between the two is simplified, thereby reducing the complexity of the telescopic bracket structure and further reducing its production and assembly difficulty. Fewer material parts and a simpler mating structure can also reduce the size of the bracket housing 10, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design requirements of clothes drying equipment.

[0106] Understandably, in the field of mechanical design, the structure of the elastic element 60 is diverse. It can be selected according to the specific design requirements of the telescopic bracket (clothes drying equipment), such as whether it is connected between the bracket housing 10 and the telescopic frame 20, or between the bracket housing 10 and the first transmission component 40.

[0107] In practical applications, the elastic element 60 may be, but is not limited to, tension springs, compression springs, torsion springs, bending springs, etc., and, based on the above types, it may also be, but is not limited to, helical springs, leaf springs, worm springs, disc springs, ring springs, gas springs, rubber springs, etc. This embodiment does not impose strict limitations or requirements on this.

[0108] Please continue to refer to the appendix. Figures 1-19 The telescopic frame 20 has the following characteristics in its direction of movement: Figures 3-4 , Figures 9-11 , Figures 17-19 The drying position is shown away from the bracket housing 10, and as shown in the figure. Figure 1 , Figures 5-8 , Figures 12-16The storage position is shown near the bracket housing 10, where the drying position is located between the unfolded position and the storage position. A locking structure 100 is provided between the telescopic frame 20 and the bracket housing 10. The locking structure 100 is used to lock the telescopic frame 20 in the drying position. The drive component 30 is provided with a trigger part 31, and the locking structure 100 is located on the movement path of the trigger part 31, so that the drive component 30 can trigger the locking structure 100 to unlock during the movement in the second direction. During this process, when the locking structure 100 is unlocked, since the telescopic frame 20 and the first transmission component 40 (through the telescopic frame 20) are both locked in the drying position, they are disengaged from the drive component 30 and have a certain gap. At the moment of unlocking, both are driven back to the state where the first transmission component 40 is back against the drive component 30 by the elastic element 60, so that the telescopic frame 20 and the drive component 30 are linked again. Finally, the telescopic frame 20 can be driven to the storage position by the elastic element 60 under the movement of the drive component 30.

[0109] In one embodiment, the locking structure 100 may consist of a locking block 110 disposed on the telescopic frame 20 and a locking hole 120 formed on the bracket housing 10. When the telescopic frame 20 extends outward relative to the bracket housing 10 to the drying position, the locking block 110 can engage with the locking hole 120, thereby locking the telescopic frame 20 in the drying position. The protrusion of the locking block 110 from the locking hole 120 provides a trigger position for the trigger part 31 of the drive component 30 to unlock. When the drive component 30 moves to the point where it abuts against the locking block 110 via the trigger part 31, the locking block 110 can disengage from the locking hole 120, thus unlocking the telescopic frame 20.

[0110] Of course, the locking structure 100 can also be composed of other components commonly used in the current mechanical field, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0111] By providing a locking structure 100 between the telescopic frame 20 and the bracket housing 10, the telescopic bracket 20 can remain relatively stationary with respect to the bracket housing 10 during the initial stage of the bracket housing 10 rising relative to the main unit. Furthermore, the distance at which the telescopic frame 20 and the bracket housing 10 remain relatively stationary can be determined based on the distance between the locking structure 100 and the drive component 30. In other words, during the rising process of the bracket housing 10, as long as the trigger part 31 of the drive component 30 has not moved to the point of triggering the locking structure 100 to unlock, the telescopic frame 20 and the first transmission component 40 remain in the drying position, thereby achieving the effect of keeping the drying area unfolded. In other words, in the application of telescopic brackets in clothes drying equipment, when a user hangs clothes on the drying rod 90, it can drive the clothes drying equipment (the bracket housing 10 drives the telescopic frame 20 and the drying rod 90) to rise, and make the bracket housing 10 hover in the state where the drive component 30 fails to trigger the locking structure 100 through the trigger part 31. In this state, the height of the bracket housing 10 will be higher than when the user hangs the clothes, avoiding the situation where the clothes block the user's passage on the ground, while the telescopic frame 20 remains in the position of extending out of the bracket housing 10, ensuring that the larger drying area can guarantee the spacing between each hanging garment and improve its drying effect.

[0112] When the user removes the foreign object hanging on the drying rod 90, the clothes drying equipment (the bracket housing 10) can be raised to the storage position again, and the drive component 30 triggers the locking structure 100 through the trigger part 31, so that each telescopic frame 20 is reset and retracted into the bracket housing 10, so that the clothes drying equipment can be stored in the non-use state, ensuring that the equipment has a good visual effect.

[0113] Please refer to the appendix. Figures 1-4 The present invention also provides a clothes drying rack, which includes a main unit. As mentioned in the above embodiments, the main unit also includes a main unit housing 70. The main unit housing 70 serves as the supporting foundation of the clothes drying rack, and its interior has sufficient space to accommodate a telescopic bracket and related components. A power unit 71 is disposed within the main unit housing 70. It is understood that, depending on the type of clothes drying rack, the power unit 71 can be configured to be electrically driven or manually driven. For example, in embodiments where the clothes drying rack is electric, the power unit 71 can be a motor, while in embodiments where the clothes drying rack is manual, the power unit 71 can be a reel, etc.

[0114] In this embodiment, the clothes drying rack also includes a lifting assembly 80 and a telescopic bracket as provided in any of the above embodiments. The first end of the lifting assembly 80 is installed on the main unit, and the second end of the lifting assembly 80 is movably installed on the bracket housing 10. Furthermore, the bracket housing 10 is connected to the power unit 71 via a traction member 72 (such as a wire rope, transmission belt, etc.). A drying rod 90 is provided on the telescopic frame 20. As can be understood from the above, the traction member 72 in this embodiment can also be part of the lifting assembly 80.

[0115] Understandably, the length and shape of the 90mm drying rack can be selected according to different needs to meet the requirements of different usage scenarios.

[0116] Furthermore, two telescopic brackets, each connected to the main housing 70 via lifting components 80, can be installed near both ends of the clothes drying rack to further improve the structural stability of the drying rod 90 on the clothes drying rack. The two ends of the drying rod 90 installed on the telescopic brackets can be connected by telescopic frames 20 located on the telescopic brackets at both ends. The two ends of the drying rod 90 can move synchronously during the movement of the two telescopic brackets relative to the main housing 70, so as to achieve the effect of expanding or narrowing the drying area, and correspondingly improve the clothes drying rack's load-bearing capacity.

[0117] It is also worth mentioning that the clothes drying rack can be equipped with appropriate limit devices and sensors to monitor the range of motion of the lifting assembly 80 or the bracket housing 10, so as to prevent the telescopic frame 20 from being damaged due to excessive extension and retraction, and to suspend the bracket housing 10 in a state where the drive part of the aforementioned drive component 30 approaches the trigger locking structure 100.
