Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothes drying rack technology, and in particular to a folding clothes drying rack. Background Technology
[0002] Floor-standing clothes drying racks are common drying devices in modern households. Products on the market are mainly divided into double-pole and multi-pole types based on the support rod type, with common side shapes including "X," "H," wing, and butterfly shapes. Foldable designs are popular due to their ease of storage, but in actual use, these products have functional defects: some products suffer from insufficient stability due to unreasonable structural design, the folding mechanism may jam during operation, and the folded size is still relatively large, failing to meet users' space-saving needs. Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technology and develop floor-standing folding clothes drying racks that balance stability, operational flexibility, and high folding efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a folding clothes rack to address the issues of stability, operational flexibility, and folding range of floor-standing clothes racks.
[0004] A folding clothes drying rack includes: a drying component comprising at least three drying rods arranged sequentially along a first direction; a support rod component comprising two support rod assemblies rotatably mounted on two sides of one of the plurality of drying rods, the support rod components driving the two sides of the drying rods to fold along the first direction; and a first scissor bracket component, the first scissor bracket component being connected to the two support rod assemblies on both sides, and a hinge on one side of the first scissor bracket component being rotatably connected to the innermost drying rod of the plurality of drying rods, the first scissor bracket component being capable of driving the support rod component to fold along the first direction.
[0005] This application discloses a folding clothes rack. Multiple drying rods of the drying component are arranged sequentially along a first direction, forming the main planar area for drying clothes, allowing multiple garments to be hung simultaneously to meet daily drying needs. The support rod component, through a rotatable connection with the drying rods on both sides, can drive the drying rods on both sides to fold along the first direction, effectively reducing the lateral space occupied by the clothes rack when not in use, making it easy to store in a small corner or against a wall. A first scissor-shaped bracket component is rotatably connected to both the support rod component and the inner drying rod, realizing the function of driving the support rod component to fold along the first direction. This folding design reduces the volume of the clothes rack after folding, saving space and making it more convenient and quick to store in unused areas at home or transported when going out, greatly improving the space utilization efficiency and adaptability of the clothes rack to different usage scenarios. The first scissor-shaped bracket component, as a connecting and supporting structure, connects the drying component to the support rod component and also acts as a supporting structure to support the inner drying rod, ensuring the overall structure is simple and reliable when stored, while providing stable support.
[0006] In one embodiment, when the support rod component rotates relative to the drying component, it drives the first scissor frame component to rotate synchronously. The support rod component has at least a first position and a second position when rotating relative to the drying component. In the first position, the plane containing the support rod component and the first scissor frame component is parallel to or forms an acute angle with the plane containing the drying component. In the second position, the plane containing the support rod component and the first scissor frame component is perpendicular to or forms an obtuse angle with the plane containing the drying component. This synchronous rotation mechanism between the support rod component and the first scissor frame component, through a linkage connection structure, ensures that the two components move in unison during folding and unfolding, avoiding interference and jamming. When the support rod component is in the first position, the plane containing both components is parallel to or forms an acute angle with the plane of the drying component, achieving compact folding and reducing space occupation. In the second position, the plane is perpendicular to or forms an obtuse angle, forming a stable support structure, ensuring stable and safe drying, and improving product practicality.
[0007] In one embodiment, there are multiple support rod components, each rotatably mounted on both sides of one of the multiple drying rods. There are also multiple first scissor bracket components, with each of the support rod components connected to one of the first scissor bracket components. This design of multiple support rod components and first scissor bracket components forms multiple support structures, enhancing the overall structural stability of the clothes rack. When carrying a large amount of clothing, the multiple components can evenly distribute the force, avoiding localized overload and improving the load-bearing capacity and durability of the clothes rack.
[0008] In one embodiment, the folding clothes rack further includes a second scissor-mount component. The number of second scissor-mount components is the same as the number of first scissor-mount components. The second scissor-mount components are located at both ends of the support rod component and are connected to it. The second scissor-mount components rotate, fold, or unfold synchronously with the first scissor-mount components. The second scissor-mount components work in conjunction with the first scissor-mount components, providing support and tension to the support rod component from both ends during the folding and unfolding of the clothes rack, resulting in more balanced force distribution. This not only improves the stability of the clothes rack during movement but also effectively avoids component wear or structural damage caused by uneven local force distribution, extending the product's service life.
[0009] In one embodiment, the two side drying rods among the plurality of drying rods are two side drying rod assemblies, and the inner drying rod among the plurality of drying rods is a central drying rod assembly. The two side drying rod assemblies are located on both sides of the central drying rod assembly, and the two support rod assemblies are rotatably connected to the two side drying rod assemblies respectively. The hinge on one side of the first scissor bracket component is rotatably connected to the central drying rod assembly. This connection method constructs a stable structural system, allowing the weight of the clothes to be evenly distributed and transmitted, enhancing overall stability. Multiple central drying rod assemblies can be provided, and their rotatable connection design with the first scissor bracket component, while meeting the need for flexible adjustment of the drying area, further strengthens the structural rigidity of the clothes rack through multiple connection points, ensuring that the components maintain a stable linkage relationship when expanded for use, and guaranteeing the reliability of the clothes rack when carrying more clothes.
[0010] In one embodiment, the side drying rod assembly includes a side drying rod and two side connectors. The two side connectors are disposed on the side drying rod and are located at both ends of the side drying rod. There are also two support rod components, with each support rod component having two support rod assemblies rotatably mounted on the two side connectors at the same end. There are also two first scissor bracket components, with each of the two support rod components connected to one of the two first scissor bracket components. The side connectors provide stable rotational connection points for the support rod assembly. The design of the two side connectors at both ends of the side drying rod ensures even force distribution on the support rod components, avoiding localized force concentration. The corresponding connection between the two support rod components and the two first scissor bracket components further enhances the structural strength and stability of the clothes rack, making it more reliable when carrying clothing.
[0011] In one embodiment, the side drying rod assembly further includes a first rotating connector. One end of the first rotating connector is rotatably connected to the side drying rod, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support rod component. When the support rod component rotates relative to the drying component, both ends of the first rotating connector rotate relative to the side drying rod and the support rod component, respectively. The first rotating connector establishes a flexible connection structure between the side drying rod and the support rod component. During folding, its ability to rotate relative to each other effectively buffers mechanical stress between components, preventing structural damage caused by rigid collisions. Simultaneously, the connector adjusts the relative position of the side drying rod and the support rod component through its own rotational assistance, ensuring smooth folding. In the unfolded state, it provides stable lateral support, enhancing the overall anti-tipping performance of the clothes rack structure.
[0012] In one embodiment, the first rotating connector includes a first rotating rod and a second rotating rod. One end of the first rotating rod is rotatably connected to the side drying rod, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second rotating rod. One end of the second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the support rod component, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first rotating rod. When the support rod component rotates relative to the drying component, the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod rotate relative to each other. The first rotating rod has a first abutment portion, and the second rotating rod has a second abutment portion. When the support rod component rotates relative to the drying component, the first abutment portion can abut against the second abutment portion. The mutual rotational cooperation of the first and second rotating rods, and the design of the abutment portions, allow for flexible rotation while effectively limiting the rotation angle. When the rotation reaches a set angle, the abutment portions abut against each other, preventing excessive rotation from damaging the components and ensuring the safety and reliability of the clothes rack structure.
[0013] In one embodiment, the first rotating connector includes a third rotating rod and a roller. A groove is provided on the side of the side drying rod near the support rod component. The roller is located within the groove. One end of the third rotating rod is rotatably connected to the roller, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support rod component. When the support rod component rotates relative to the drying component, the roller rolls within the groove, causing the third rotating rod to rotate relative to both the roller and the support rod component. The cooperation between the roller and the groove in the first rotating connector effectively reduces mechanical jamming when the side drying rod and support rod component rotate relative to each other, making folding and unfolding actions smoother and more natural. The directional rolling of the roller within the groove, combined with the double-end rotating connection of the third rotating rod, precisely constrains the rotation trajectory of the components, effectively preventing wobbling and deviation, significantly reducing abnormal wear between components, and enhancing the stability and durability of the clothes rack during long-term use.
[0014] In one embodiment, one end of the side connector is fitted onto the side drying rod, and the other end of the side connector has a side rotation groove. A portion of the support rod component is located within the side rotation groove. When the support rod component rotates relative to the drying component, the end of the support rod component closest to the drying component rotates within the side rotation groove. The side rotation groove provides a precise guiding and limiting structure for the rotation of the support rod component. During the rotation of the support rod component, its end always moves within the groove, ensuring a stable rotation path and preventing wobbling or deviation, thus improving the stability and reliability of the overall rotating connection of the clothes rack.
[0015] In one embodiment, the number of central drying rod assemblies is at least one. Each central drying rod assembly includes a central drying rod and a central connector. The central drying rod is located between the two side drying rod assemblies. Two central connectors are disposed on the central drying rod, located at both ends of the central drying rod. A hinge on one side of the first scissor-mount component is rotatably connected to the central connector. The central drying rod assembly is rotatably connected to the first scissor-mount component via the central connectors at both ends, forming a stable structural foundation. This effectively distributes gravity when carrying clothes, reducing the load on the side drying rod assemblies and improving the overall structural rigidity. Multiple central drying rods can be designed, allowing for flexible adjustment of the drying area according to actual drying needs. Multiple central drying rod assemblies are linked through the first scissor-mount component, allowing for synchronized retraction during folding and storage. This ensures structural stability while improving space utilization, making it suitable for drying different quantities of clothes and various scenarios.
[0016] In one embodiment, one end of the central connector is fitted onto the central drying rod, and the other end has a central rotating groove. The first scissor bracket component is partially located within the central rotating groove. When the first scissor bracket component rotates relative to the drying component, the end of the first scissor bracket component closest to the drying component rotates within the central rotating groove. The central rotating groove precisely guides and limits the rotation of the first scissor bracket component, ensuring that it moves along a predetermined path during folding or unfolding, avoiding rotational deviation, and improving the accuracy and stability of the overall structure of the clothes rack.
[0017] In one embodiment, the two ends of the side drying rod are provided with first telescopic portions that can extend or retract along the length of the side drying rod; the two ends of the middle drying rod are provided with second telescopic portions that can extend or retract along the length of the middle drying rod. The telescopic design of the side and middle drying rods gives the clothes rack an adjustable drying length. Users can flexibly adjust the size of the clothes rack according to the actual quantity and size of the clothes to be dried, effectively increasing the drying area and improving the adaptability and practicality of the clothes rack to different usage scenarios.
[0018] In one embodiment, the support rod assembly includes a second rotating connector, a support rod, and a sliding connector. One end of the second rotating connector is disposed on the support rod, and the other end is rotatably connected to the side drying rod assembly. The sliding connector is sleeved on the support rod and can slide on the support rod. One side of the first scissor rack component has a first free end and a second free end. The first free end of the first scissor rack component is rotatably connected to the second rotating connector, and the second free end of the first scissor rack component is rotatably connected to the sliding connector. When the first scissor rack component is folded or unfolded, the second free end of the first scissor rack component drives the sliding connector to slide along the support rod. The combined design of the components in the support rod assembly forms a linkage transmission structure with the first scissor rack component. During the folding or unfolding of the first scissor rack component, the sliding of the sliding connector on the support rod realizes the effective transmission of force and motion coordination between the components, making the operation of the clothes rack smoother and the structural stress more reasonable.
[0019] In one embodiment, the second rotating connector includes a second rotating body and a first rotating connecting key. The second rotating body is disposed on the support rod, and the first rotating connecting key is disposed on the second rotating body. The first rotating connecting key has a first rotating groove. The first scissor bracket component is rotatably connected to the first rotating connecting key, and a portion of the first scissor bracket component is located within the first rotating groove. The rotating connection structure between the first rotating connecting key and the first scissor bracket component provides a stable foundation for the installation and rotation of the first scissor bracket component. The limiting effect of the first rotating groove on the first scissor bracket component ensures that it maintains an accurate rotation path during movement, enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection, and making the clothes rack more secure during use.
[0020] In one embodiment, the second rotating connector has a first arcuate protrusion at one end near the side connector. This first arcuate protrusion is located within the side rotating groove. When the support rod component rotates relative to the drying component, the first arcuate protrusion slides within the side rotating groove. The number of second rotating connectors is the same as the number of side connectors. The cooperation between the first arcuate protrusion and the side rotating groove provides a stable guiding and limiting structure for the rotation of the second rotating connector. During the rotation of the support rod component, the first arcuate protrusion slides within the groove, ensuring smooth rotation, reducing shaking and friction, and improving the stability and service life of the connection structure.
[0021] In one embodiment, the second rotating connector further includes a second rotating key, which is disposed on the body of the second rotating connector and has a second rotating groove. The first rotating connector is rotatably connected to the second rotating key, with a portion of the first rotating connector located within the second rotating groove. This rotatable connection design between the second rotating key and the first rotating connector further enhances the connection stability between the support rod component and the side drying rod assembly. During the folding and unfolding of the clothes rack, this connection method ensures coordinated movement between the components, preventing loosening or disengagement and guaranteeing the overall reliability of the clothes rack structure.
[0022] In one embodiment, the sliding connector includes a sliding sleeve, a third rotating connector, a mounting key, and a wrench assembly. The sliding sleeve is slidably mounted on the support rod, and the third rotating connector is mounted on the sliding sleeve. The third rotating connector has a third rotating groove, and the first scissor-arm component is rotatably connected to the third rotating connector, with a portion of the first scissor-arm component located within the third rotating groove. The mounting key is mounted on the sliding sleeve, and the wrench assembly is rotatably mounted on the mounting key. When the wrench assembly rotates, it can abut against or separate from the support rod. The components of the sliding connector work together to achieve effective coordination of the movement of the first scissor-arm component and flexible locking of the clothes rack's state. The sliding engagement of the sliding sleeve on the support rod with the third rotating connector and the first scissor-arm component ensures smooth movement; the wrench assembly can lock or unlock the sliding sleeve position as needed to prevent accidental folding when the clothes rack is unfolded, improving safety and convenience during use.
[0023] In one embodiment, the first free end of the first scissor rack component is adjacent to the rotatable connection point of the support rod component and the side drying rod assembly. This design, where the first free end of the first scissor rack component is adjacent to the rotatable connection point, shortens the force transmission path and improves the efficiency of coordinated folding of components; the adjacent layout balances the structural stress, reducing the risk of localized stress concentration and enhancing the stability of the clothes rack; simultaneously, it enhances folding compactness and further reduces the storage volume.
[0024] In one embodiment, the first scissor rack component includes a rotating connecting part and a scissor rack tube assembly. One end of the rotating connecting part is rotatably connected to the middle drying rod assembly, and the other end is rotatably connected to the hinge of the scissor rack tube assembly. The rotating connecting part has a second arcuate protrusion near the middle drying rod assembly, and the middle connecting part has a central rotating groove. When the first scissor rack component rotates relative to the drying component, the second arcuate protrusion slides within the central rotating groove. The rotating connecting part enables a rotatable connection between the middle drying rod assembly and the scissor rack tube assembly. The cooperation between the second arcuate protrusion and the central rotating groove provides guidance and limitation for the rotation of the first scissor rack component, making its movement more stable and precise during folding and unfolding, and ensuring the reliability of the overall clothes rack structure during operation.
[0025] In one embodiment, the rotating connecting part has a connecting groove at one end near the scissor frame tube assembly. The scissor frame tube assembly includes at least a first scissor frame group and a second scissor frame group, which are arranged side by side and rotatably connected. The first and second scissor frame groups are hinged on both sides, and the hinge point on the side of the first and second scissor frame groups near the rotating connecting part is located in the connecting groove. This parallel rotating connection design of the double scissor frame groups disperses stress, improves load-bearing capacity, ensures stable movement during folding or unfolding, and reduces swaying and deformation. The hinges on both sides ensure even stress distribution during extension and contraction, reducing the risk of component damage. The connecting groove, in conjunction with the hinge point of the scissor frame group, provides precise installation positioning and a stable rotation base, enhancing the reliability and durability of the clothes rack. Simultaneously, the connecting groove protects the hinged parts, reducing wear and extending service life. The double scissor frame group also reduces storage volume and optimizes the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0049] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0050] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0051] The following describes some embodiments of the folding clothes drying rack according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0052] Example 1
[0053] like Figures 1 to 18As shown, this embodiment discloses a folding clothes drying rack, which includes: a drying component 1, which includes at least three drying rods arranged sequentially along a first direction; a support rod component 2, which includes two support rod assemblies 21, which are rotatably mounted on the drying rods on both sides of the plurality of drying rods, and the support rod component 2 drives the drying rods on both sides to fold along the first direction; and a first scissor frame component 3, which is connected to the two support rod assemblies 21 on both sides, and has a hinge on one side that is rotatably connected to the inner drying rod of the plurality of drying rods, and the first scissor frame component 3 can drive the support rod component 2 to fold along the first direction.
[0054] This application discloses a folding clothes rack. Multiple drying rods of the drying component 1 are arranged sequentially along a first direction, forming the main planar area for drying clothes, allowing multiple garments to be hung simultaneously to meet daily drying needs. The support rod component 2, through a rotatable connection with the drying rods on both sides, can drive the drying rods on both sides to fold along the first direction, effectively reducing the lateral space occupied by the clothes rack when not in use, making it easy to store in a small corner or against a wall. The first scissor-shaped frame component 3 is rotatably connected to the support rod component 21 and the inner drying rod, realizing the function of driving the support rod component 2 to fold along the first direction. This folding design reduces the volume of the clothes rack after folding, saving space and making it more convenient and quick to store in unused areas at home or to carry and transport when going out, greatly improving the space utilization efficiency and adaptability of the clothes rack to various usage scenarios. The first scissor-shaped frame component 3, as a connecting and supporting structure, connects the drying component 1 to the support rod component 2, and also serves as a supporting structure to support the inner drying rod, ensuring the simplicity and reliability of the overall structure when stored, while providing stable support.
[0055] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: when the support rod component 2 rotates relative to the drying component 1, it can drive the first scissor frame component 3 to rotate synchronously. When the support rod component 2 rotates relative to the drying component 1, it has at least a first position and a second position. When the support rod component 2 is in the first position, the plane containing the support rod component 2 and the first scissor frame component 3 is parallel to or forms an acute angle with the plane containing the drying component 1. When the support rod component 2 is in the second position, the plane containing the support rod component 2 and the first scissor frame component 3 is perpendicular to or forms an obtuse angle with the plane containing the drying component 1. The synchronous rotation mechanism of the support rod component 2 and the first scissor frame component 3, through a linkage connection structure, ensures that the two components move in unison during folding and unfolding, avoiding interference and jamming. When the support rod component 2 is in the first position, the plane containing the two components is parallel to or forms an acute angle with the plane of the drying component 1, achieving compact folding and reducing space occupation. When in the second position, the plane is perpendicular to or forms an obtuse angle, forming a stable support structure, ensuring stable and safe drying, and improving product practicality.
[0056] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: there are multiple support rod components 2, each rotatably mounted on both sides of a plurality of drying rods; and there are multiple first scissor frame components 3, with each support rod component 2 connected to one of the multiple first scissor frame components 3. The design of multiple support rod components 2 and first scissor frame components 3 forms multiple sets of support structures, enhancing the overall structural stability of the clothes rack. When carrying a large amount of clothing, the multiple sets of components can evenly distribute the force, avoiding localized overload and improving the load-bearing capacity and durability of the clothes rack.
[0057] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the folding clothes rack also includes a second scissor-mount component 4. The number of second scissor-mount components 4 is the same as that of the first scissor-mount components 3. The second scissor-mount components 4 and the first scissor-mount components 3 are located at both ends of the support rod component 2 and are connected to the support rod component 2. The second scissor-mount components 4 and the first scissor-mount components 3 rotate, fold, or unfold synchronously. The second scissor-mount components 4 and the first scissor-mount components 3 work together to provide support and tension to the support rod component 2 from both ends during the folding and unfolding of the clothes rack, making the force more balanced. This not only improves the stability of the clothes rack during movement but also effectively avoids component wear or structural damage caused by uneven local force, extending the product's service life.
[0058] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the drying rods on both sides of the plurality of drying rods are two side drying rod assemblies 11, and the drying rod located on the inner side of the plurality of drying rods is a central drying rod assembly 12. The two side drying rod assemblies 11 are located on both sides of the central drying rod assembly 12, and the two support rod assemblies 21 are rotatably connected to the two side drying rod assemblies 11 respectively. The hinge on one side of the first scissor frame component 3 is rotatably connected to the central drying rod assembly 12. This connection method constructs a stable structural system, allowing the weight of the clothes to be evenly distributed and transmitted, enhancing overall stability. Multiple central drying rod assemblies 12 can be provided, and their rotatable connection design with the first scissor frame component 3, while meeting the need for flexible adjustment of the drying area, further strengthens the structural rigidity of the clothes rack with multiple connection points, ensuring that the components can still maintain a stable linkage relationship when expanded for use, and guaranteeing the reliability of the clothes rack when carrying more clothes.
[0059] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the side drying rod assembly 11 includes a side drying rod 111 and side connectors 112. The side connectors 112 are disposed on the side drying rod 111, and there are two side connectors 112 located at both ends of the side drying rod 111. There are two support rod components 2, with each support rod component 2 having two support rod assemblies 21 rotatably mounted on the two side connectors 112 at the same end. There are two first scissor bracket components 3, with each of the two support rod components 2 connected to one of the two first scissor bracket components 3. The side connectors 112 provide a stable rotational connection point for the support rod assembly 21. The design of the two side connectors 112 located at both ends of the side drying rod 111 ensures that the support rod component 2 is subjected to uniform force, avoiding localized force concentration. The corresponding connection between the two support rod components 2 and the two first scissor bracket components 3 further enhances the structural strength and stability of the clothes rack, making it more reliable when carrying clothes.
[0060] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the side drying rod assembly 11 also includes a first rotating connector 113. One end of the first rotating connector 113 is rotatably connected to the side drying rod 111, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support rod component 2. When the support rod component 2 rotates relative to the drying component 1, both ends of the first rotating connector 113 rotate relative to the side drying rod 111 and the support rod component 2, respectively. The first rotating connector 113 constructs a flexible connection structure between the side drying rod 111 and the support rod component 2. During folding, the relative rotation of its two ends can effectively buffer the mechanical stress between the components and avoid structural damage caused by rigid collisions. At the same time, the connector adjusts the relative position of the side drying rod 111 and the support rod component 2 through its own rotational assistance, ensuring smooth folding. In the unfolded state, it can also provide stable lateral support force, enhancing the anti-tipping performance of the overall clothes rack structure.
[0061] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the first rotating connector 113 includes a first rotating rod 1131 and a second rotating rod 1132. One end of the first rotating rod 1131 is rotatably connected to the side drying rod 111, and the other end of the first rotating rod 1131 is rotatably connected to the second rotating rod 1132. One end of the second rotating rod 1132 is rotatably connected to the support rod component 2, and the other end of the second rotating rod 1132 is rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 1131. When the support rod component 2 rotates relative to the drying component 1, the first rotating rod 1131 and the second rotating rod 1132 rotate relative to each other. The first rotating rod 1131 is provided with a first abutting portion 11311, and the second rotating rod 1132 is provided with a second abutting portion 11321. When the support rod component 2 rotates relative to the drying component 1, the first abutting portion 11311 can abut against the second abutting portion 11321. The mutual rotational engagement of the first rotating rod 1131 and the second rotating rod 1132, along with the design of the abutment portion, allows for flexible rotation while effectively limiting the rotation angle. When rotated to the set angle, the abutment portions abut against each other, preventing excessive rotation from damaging the components and ensuring the safety and reliability of the clothes rack structure.
[0062] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: one end of the side connector 112 is sleeved on the side drying rod 111, and the other end of the side connector 112 has a side rotation groove 11201. The support rod component 2 is partially located within the side rotation groove 11201. When the support rod component 2 rotates relative to the drying component 1, the end of the support rod component 2 closest to the drying component 1 rotates within the side rotation groove 11201. The side rotation groove 11201 provides a precise guiding and limiting structure for the rotation of the support rod component 2. During the rotation of the support rod component 2, its end always moves within the groove, ensuring a stable rotation path and avoiding wobbling or deviation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the overall rotational connection of the clothes rack.
[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of central drying rod assemblies 12 is at least one, the central drying rod assembly 12 includes a central drying rod 121 and a central connector 122, the central drying rod 121 is located between the two side drying rod assemblies 11, the central connector 122 is disposed on the central drying rod 121, the number of central connectors 122 is two, the two central connectors 122 are located at both ends of the central drying rod 121, and the hinge on one side of the first scissor bracket component 3 is rotatably connected to the central connector 122. The central drying rod assembly 12 is rotatably connected to the first scissor bracket component 3 through the central connectors 122 at both ends, forming a stable structural foundation, which can effectively distribute the weight when carrying clothes, reduce the stress load on the side drying rod assemblies 11, and improve the overall structural rigidity. The central drying rod 121 can be configured in multiple ways, allowing for flexible adjustment of the drying area according to actual drying needs. Multiple central drying rod components 12 are linked together through the first scissor frame component 3, and can be retracted synchronously when folded for storage, which not only ensures structural stability but also improves space utilization, making it suitable for drying needs of different quantities of clothes and scenarios.
[0064] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: one end of the central connector 122 is sleeved on the central drying rod 121, and the other end has a central rotating groove 12201. The first scissor bracket component 3 is partially located within the central rotating groove 12201. When the first scissor bracket component 3 rotates relative to the drying component 1, the end of the first scissor bracket component 3 closest to the drying component 1 rotates within the central rotating groove 12201. The central rotating groove 12201 precisely guides and limits the rotation of the first scissor bracket component 3, ensuring that it moves along a predetermined path during the folding or unfolding process of the first scissor bracket component 3, avoiding rotational deviation, and improving the accuracy and stability of the overall structure movement of the clothes rack.
[0065] like Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the two ends of the side drying rod 111 are provided with extendable first telescopic portions 1111, which can extend or retract along the length direction of the side drying rod 111; the two ends of the middle drying rod 121 are provided with extendable second telescopic portions 1211, which can extend or retract along the length direction of the middle drying rod 121. The telescopic portion design of the side drying rod 111 and the middle drying rod 121 gives the clothes rack an adjustable drying length. Users can flexibly adjust the size of the clothes rack according to the actual quantity and size of the clothes to be dried, effectively increasing the drying area and improving the adaptability and practicality of the clothes rack to different usage scenarios.
[0066] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the support rod assembly 21 includes a second rotating connector 211, a support rod 212, and a sliding connector 213. One end of the second rotating connector 211 is disposed on the support rod 212, and the other end is rotatably connected to the side drying rod assembly 11. The sliding connector 213 is sleeved on the support rod 212 and can slide on the support rod 212. One side of the first scissor frame component 3 has a first free end and a second free end. The first free end of the first scissor frame component 3 is rotatably connected to the second rotating connector 211, and the second free end of the first scissor frame component 3 is rotatably connected to the sliding connector 213. When the first scissor frame component 3 is folded or unfolded, the second free end of the first scissor frame component 3 drives the sliding connector 213 to slide along the support rod 212. The combined design of the components in the support rod assembly 21 forms a linkage transmission structure with the first scissor frame component 3. During the folding or unfolding of the first scissor rack component 3, the sliding connector 213 slides on the support rod 212 to achieve effective force transmission and coordinated movement between the components, making the operation of the clothes rack smoother and the stress on the structure more reasonable.
[0067] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the second rotating connector 211 includes a second rotating body 2111 and a first rotating connecting key 2112. The second rotating body 2111 is disposed on the support rod 212, and the first rotating connecting key 2112 is disposed on the second rotating body 2111. The first rotating connecting key 2112 has a first rotating groove. The first scissor bracket component 3 is rotatably connected to the first rotating connecting key 2112, and part of the first scissor bracket component 3 is located within the first rotating groove. The rotating connection structure between the first rotating connecting key 2112 and the first scissor bracket component 3 provides a stable foundation for the installation and rotation of the first scissor bracket component 3. The limiting effect of the first rotating groove on the first scissor bracket component 3 ensures that it maintains an accurate rotation path during movement, enhances the stability and reliability of the connection part, and makes the clothes rack more secure during use.
[0068] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the second rotating connector 211 has a first arcuate protrusion 2113 at one end near the side connector 112. The first arcuate protrusion 2113 is located within the side rotating groove 11201. When the support rod component 2 rotates relative to the drying component 1, the first arcuate protrusion 2113 slides within the side rotating groove 11201. The number of second rotating connectors 211 is the same as the number of side connectors 112. The cooperation between the first arcuate protrusion 2113 and the side rotating groove 11201 provides a stable guiding and limiting structure for the rotation of the second rotating connector 211. During the rotation of the support rod component 2, the first arcuate protrusion 2113 slides within the groove, ensuring smooth rotation, reducing shaking and friction, and improving the stability and service life of the connection structure.
[0069] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the second rotating connector 211 also includes a second rotating connector key 2114, which is disposed on the second rotating body 2111 and has a second rotating groove. The first rotating connector 113 is rotatably connected to the second rotating connector key 2114, and part of the first rotating connector 113 is located in the second rotating groove. The rotating connection design between the second rotating connector key 2114 and the first rotating connector 113 further enhances the connection stability between the support rod component 2 and the side drying rod assembly 11. During the folding and unfolding operation of the clothes rack, this connection method ensures that the movement between the components is coordinated and consistent, avoiding loosening or disengagement, and ensuring the reliability of the overall structure of the clothes rack.
[0070] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the sliding connector 213 includes a sliding sleeve 2131, a third rotating connector 2132, a mounting key 2133, and a wrench assembly 2134. The sliding sleeve 2131 is slidably disposed on the support rod 212, the third rotating connector 2132 is disposed on the sliding sleeve 2131, and the third rotating connector 2132 is provided with a third rotating groove. The first scissor bracket component 3 is rotatably connected to the third rotating connector 2132, and part of the first scissor bracket component 3 is located in the third rotating groove. The mounting key 2133 is disposed on the sliding sleeve 2131, and the wrench assembly 2134 is rotatably disposed on the mounting key 2133. When the wrench assembly 2134 rotates, it can abut against or separate from the support rod 212. The components of the sliding connector 213 work together to achieve effective coordination of the movement of the first scissor bracket component 3 and flexible locking of the clothes rack state. The sliding sleeve 2131 slides on the support rod 212 in conjunction with the third rotating connector 2132 and the first scissor bracket component 3, ensuring smooth movement; the wrench assembly 2134 can lock or unlock the position of the sliding sleeve 2131 as needed, preventing accidental folding when the clothes rack is unfolded and used, thus improving safety and convenience during use.
[0071] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the first free end of the first scissor rack component 3 is adjacent to the rotatable connection point of the support rod component 2 and the side drying rod assembly 11. The design that the first free end of the first scissor rack component 3 is adjacent to the rotatable connection point shortens the force transmission path and improves the efficiency of coordinated folding of components; the adjacent layout balances the structural force, reduces the risk of local force concentration, and enhances the stability of the clothes rack; at the same time, it enhances the compactness of folding and further reduces the storage volume.
[0072] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 17 and Figure 18As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the first scissor rack component 3 includes a rotating connecting part 31 and a scissor rack tube assembly 32. One end of the rotating connecting part 31 is rotatably connected to the middle drying rod assembly 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to the hinge of the scissor rack tube assembly 32. The end of the rotating connecting part 31 near the middle drying rod assembly 12 is provided with a second arc protrusion 311, and the middle connecting member 122 is provided with a middle rotating groove 12201. When the first scissor rack component 3 rotates relative to the drying component 1, the second arc protrusion 311 slides in the middle rotating groove 12201. The rotating connecting part 31 realizes the rotating connection between the middle drying rod assembly 12 and the scissor rack tube assembly 32. The cooperation between the second arc protrusion 311 and the middle rotating groove 12201 provides guidance and limitation for the rotation of the first scissor rack component 3, making the movement of the first scissor rack component 3 more stable and precise during folding and unfolding, and ensuring the reliability of the overall structure of the clothes rack during operation.
[0073] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: a connecting groove 3101 is provided at one end of the rotating connecting part 31 near the scissor frame tube assembly 32; the scissor frame tube assembly 32 includes at least a first scissor frame group 321 and a second scissor frame group 322; the first scissor frame group 321 and the second scissor frame group 322 are arranged side by side and rotatably connected; the two sides of the first scissor frame group 321 and the second scissor frame group 322 are hinged; the hinge point of the first scissor frame group 321 and the second scissor frame group 322 near the rotating connecting part 31 is located in the connecting groove 3101. The parallel rotating connection design of the double scissor frame groups can distribute the force, improve the load-bearing capacity, ensure stable movement when folding or unfolding, and reduce shaking and deformation. The hinge on both sides makes the extension and contraction force uniform, reducing the risk of component damage. The connecting groove 3101 cooperates with the hinge point of the scissor frame group to provide precise installation positioning and a stable rotation foundation, enhancing the reliability and durability of the clothes rack. Meanwhile, the connecting groove 3101 protects the hinge area, reducing wear and extending service life. The double scissor bracket assembly can also reduce storage volume and optimize the user experience.
[0074] Example 2
[0075] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the first rotating connector 113 includes a third rotating rod 1133 and a roller 1134. A groove 11101 is provided on the side of the side drying rod 111 near the support rod component 2. The roller 1134 is located within the groove 11101. One end of the third rotating rod 1133 is rotatably connected to the roller 1134, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support rod component 2. When the support rod component 2 rotates relative to the drying component 1, the roller 1134 rolls within the groove 11101, causing the third rotating rod 1133 to rotate relative to both the roller 1134 and the support rod component 2. The cooperation between the roller 1134 and the groove 11101 in the first rotating connector 113 effectively reduces mechanical jamming when the side drying rod 111 rotates relative to the support rod component 2, making the folding and unfolding actions smoother and more natural. By using the directional rolling of the roller 1134 within the slide groove 11101, combined with the double-end rotational connection of the third rotating rod 1133, the rotation trajectory of the components can be precisely constrained, effectively preventing wobbling and deviation, significantly reducing abnormal wear between components, and enhancing the stability and durability of the clothes rack during long-term use.
