An adsorption type ground rod structure for a clothes hanger and a clothes hanger

Abstract

This utility model discloses an adsorption-type standing rod structure for clothes drying racks and a clothes drying rack. The adsorption-type standing rod structure includes a support rod and a suction cup structure. The support rod supports the clothes drying assembly; the suction cup structure is connected to the support rod and can adhere firmly to the floor. Because the suction cup structure is connected to the support rod, it can adhere firmly to the floor, preventing the support rod from tipping over. Thus, the top of the support rod does not need to compress the ceiling or suspended ceiling, preventing the support rod from tipping over, improving safety, and avoiding the support rod breaking or damaging the suspended ceiling. Furthermore, there is no need to meticulously design the extendable height of the support rod, meaning it does not need to be suitable for rooms of different heights, thereby reducing the manufacturing requirements of the support rod.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothes drying rack technology, and in particular to an adsorption-type standing rod structure for clothes drying racks and a clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] There are many types of clothes drying racks, but floor-to-ceiling clothes drying racks are gradually gaining popularity in the market.

[0003] Patent application CN202021436923.9 discloses a floor-to-ceiling clothes drying rack, in which the bottom of the uprights abuts the floor (the uprights also serve as support rods), and the top of the uprights abuts the ceiling or suspended ceiling to support the drying components. However, since suspended ceilings are generally made of aluminum profiles with limited strength, the uprights typically have height adjustment functions to ensure reliable installation. This adjustment, however, creates significant pressure on the ceiling, leading to the following technical drawbacks:

[0004] 1. The ceiling is easily broken or deformed by the columns;

[0005] 2. Once the support column breaks through the suspended ceiling, it is prone to tipping over, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, one of the purposes of this utility model is to provide an adsorption-type ground rod structure for clothes drying racks. When applied to clothes drying racks, it can prevent the ground rod from breaking or damaging the ceiling, and can also prevent the ground rod from tipping over, thereby avoiding safety accidents.

[0007] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a clothes drying rack that can prevent the support rod from breaking or damaging the ceiling, and can also prevent the support rod from tipping over, thereby avoiding safety accidents.

[0008] One of the objectives of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] An adhesive-type vertical rod structure for clothes drying racks includes:

[0010] A ground support rod, used to support the clothes drying assembly;

[0011] A suction cup structure is provided, which is connected to the support rod. The suction cup structure can adhere firmly to the floor to prevent the support rod from tipping over.

[0012] Furthermore, the ground support rod is supported by the suction cup structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the suction cup structure includes a suction cup base, an elastic deformable adsorbent body, and an adhesive layer. The support rod is connected to the suction cup base, the elastic deformable adsorbent body is installed on the suction cup base, the adhesive layer is installed on the bottom of the elastic deformable adsorbent body, the adhesive layer is detachably adhered to the floor, and the elastic deformable adsorbent body can deform to generate adsorption force, so that the middle part of the adhesive layer has a tendency to detach from the floor.

[0014] Furthermore, the adhesive layer is a component made of PU adhesive material.

[0015] Furthermore, the suction cup structure also includes an elastic auxiliary reset member, the two ends of which abut against the suction cup base and the elastic deformable adsorbent, respectively. The elastic auxiliary reset member is used to drive the elastic deformable adsorbent away from the suction cup base.

[0016] Furthermore, the suction cup structure also includes a pull rod, one end of which is connected to the elastic deformable adsorbent, and the other end of which is pivotally connected to a lever handle. The lever handle has a force-receiving part, which is used to abut against the suction cup seat so that the lever handle can drive the pull rod to pull the elastic deformable adsorbent away from the floor and prevent the pull rod from approaching the floor.

[0017] Furthermore, the suction cup seat has a receiving groove, and the lever handle can be received in the receiving groove, the top view outer contour of the receiving groove is adapted to the top view outer contour of the lever handle.

[0018] Furthermore, the receiving groove is located at the top of the suction cup seat and extends through the outer wall of the suction cup seat; the pivot point of the lever handle and the pull rod is located at one end of the receiving groove away from the outer wall of the suction cup seat.

[0019] Furthermore, the suction cup base has multiple support ribs inside, which are distributed at intervals to form a weight reduction area between two adjacent support ribs.

[0020] Furthermore, the suction cup structure is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple suction cup structures are distributed circumferentially around the support rod.

[0021] The second objective of this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0022] A clothes drying rack includes a clothes drying assembly and an adhesive-type ground support structure for the clothes drying rack; the clothes drying assembly is used for drying clothes, and the clothes drying assembly is connected to and supported by the ground support.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0024] The suction cup structure connects the support rod to the floor, allowing it to adhere firmly to the floor and prevent it from tipping over. This eliminates the need for the top of the support rod to press against the ceiling or suspended ceiling, thus preventing tipping and improving safety. It also avoids the support rod breaking or damaging the ceiling. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for sophisticated design of the support rod's extendable height, meaning it doesn't need to be suitable for rooms of different heights, thereby reducing manufacturing requirements.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0032] It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is described as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementations.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0034] See Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an adsorption-type standing rod structure for clothes drying racks, including: a support rod 1 and a suction cup structure 2. The support rod 1 is used to contact the floor to support the clothes drying assembly; the suction cup structure 2 is connected to the support rod 1 and can adhere firmly to the floor to prevent the support rod 1 from tipping over. Thus, the top of the support rod 1 does not need to compress the ceiling or suspended ceiling, and the tipping of the support rod 1 is also prevented, improving safety and avoiding the support rod 1 breaking or damaging the suspended ceiling. Furthermore, there is no need to meticulously design the extendable height of the support rod 1, i.e., there is no need to ensure its applicability to rooms of different heights, thereby reducing the manufacturing requirements of the support rod 1.

[0035] Preferably, to prevent insufficient suction force from the suction cup structure 2, the support rod 1 is supported by the suction cup structure 2. In this way, the support rod 1 supports the drying assembly, and the weight of the drying assembly and the pressure from the clothes are transferred to the support rod 1, i.e., to the suction cup structure 2. Therefore, the greater the load on the drying assembly, the tighter the suction cup structure 2 is pressed, making it less likely for the suction cup structure 2 to detach from the floor. It can be understood that, as an alternative arrangement, the suction cup structure 2 can be placed on the horizontal side of the support rod 1 without supporting it. In this case, the suction cup structure 2 only needs to provide an anti-tipping torque.

[0036] Preferably, the suction cup structure 2 includes a suction cup base 21, an elastic deformable adsorbent 22, and an adhesive layer 23. The elastic deformable adsorbent 22 is preferably made of rubber, although other materials with adsorption and elasticity are also possible. A support rod 1 is connected to the suction cup base 21, specifically by inserting the support rod 1 into the suction cup base 21 or by screwing it to the suction cup base 21, etc. The elastic deformable adsorbent 22 is installed on the suction cup base 21. The adhesive layer 23 is installed at the bottom of the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 and is detachably adhered to the floor. The elastic deformable adsorbent 22 can deform to generate adsorption force, causing the middle part of the adhesive layer 23 to tend to detach from the floor. Specifically, by utilizing the adsorption force generated by the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 and the higher sealing performance of the adhesive layer 23 compared to the elastic deformable adsorbent 22, the airtightness between the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 and the floor is higher with the assistance of the adhesive layer 23, making it less likely to detach from the floor and ensuring the adsorption stability of the suction cup structure 2. Specifically, the material of the adhesive layer 23 should be softer than that of the elastic deformable adsorbent 22, and the adhesive layer 23 should have slight stickiness so that it can detach from the floor and re-adhere to the floor, so that the installation position of the suction cup structure 2 can be adjusted according to the user's needs.

[0037] Additionally, it should be noted that the most desirable way to install the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 onto the bottom of the suction cup base 21 is by heat-melting the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 itself at high temperature and then bonding it to the bottom of the suction cup base 21. As an alternative, the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 can be bonded to the suction cup base 21 with other adhesives, or it can be fixedly sleeved onto the suction cup base 21, or it can be snapped onto the suction cup base 21. As another alternative, the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 can be magnetically attracted to the suction cup base 21, for example, by providing a first magnetic element on the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 and a second magnetic element on the suction cup base 21 or the support rod 1 that engages with the first magnetic element. As yet another alternative, the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 can be fixed to the suction cup base 21 with rivets. And as yet another alternative, the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 can be installed on the suction cup base 21 by threading.

[0038] Furthermore, in the method of installing the adhesive layer 23 to the bottom of the elastic deformable adsorbent 22, it is best to adhere the adhesive layer 23 to the bottom of the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 by heat-melting the adhesive layer 23 itself at high temperature. As an alternative, the adhesive layer 23 can be adhered to the bottom of the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 with other adhesives. As another alternative, the adhesive layer 23 can be magnetically attracted to the bottom, for example, by providing a third magnetic element to the adhesive layer 23 and a fourth magnetic element that engages with the third magnetic element on the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 or the support rod 1. As another alternative, the adhesive layer 23 can be fixed to the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 with rivets. As yet another alternative, the adhesive layer 23 can be installed to the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 by threading.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adhesive layer 23 is a component made of PU adhesive material. In this case, the adhesive layer 23 not only has the advantage of detachably bonding to the floor, but also adheres to the bottom of the elastic deformable absorbent 22 after being heat-melted at high temperature, thus maintaining a stable connection with the elastic deformable absorbent 22. Alternatively, the adhesive layer 23 can be made of silicone or non-adhesive. PU adhesive, commonly known as white glue, is chemically called polyurethane resin.

[0040] Preferably, the suction cup structure 2 further includes an elastic auxiliary reset member 3. The two ends of the elastic auxiliary reset member 3 abut against the suction cup base 21 and the elastically deformable adsorbent 22, respectively. The elastic auxiliary reset member 3 is used to drive the elastically deformable adsorbent 22 away from the suction cup base 21. With this configuration, after the elastically deformable adsorbent 22 is released, the elastic force of the elastic auxiliary reset member 3 causes the elastically deformable adsorbent 22 to move away from the suction cup base 21 as the elastic auxiliary reset member 3 lengthens to restore its original length. This allows the suction cup structure 2 to return to a state without negative pressure adsorption force, facilitating the next pulling of the middle part of the elastically deformable adsorbent 22 towards the suction cup base 21, thereby allowing the elastically deformable adsorbent 22 to re-establish negative pressure adsorption force.

[0041] The elastic auxiliary reset element 3 is preferably a compression spring, especially a pagoda-shaped spring, which has the function of preventing overlapping. As other alternative settings, the elastic auxiliary reset element 3 can be a rubber layer, etc.

[0042] Preferably, the suction cup structure 2 further includes a pull rod 24, one end of which is connected to the elastic deformable adsorbent 22, and the other end of which is pivotally connected to a lever handle 25. The lever handle 25 has a force-receiving part 251, which abuts against the suction cup seat 21, so that the lever handle 25 can drive the pull rod 24 to pull the elastic deformable adsorbent 22 away from the floor and prevent the pull rod 24 from approaching the floor. With this configuration, the suction cup seat 21 can be controlled by manually moving the lever handle 25, making it more convenient to use. As an alternative configuration, the suction cup structure 2 can use a negative pressure power source to create a vacuum in the suction cup, thereby creating a negative pressure adsorption force inside the elastic deformable adsorbent 22.

[0043] Preferably, the suction cup base 21 has a receiving groove 211, into which the lever handle 25 can be received. The top view outer contour of the receiving groove 211 matches the top view outer contour of the lever handle 25. With this configuration, when the lever handle 25 exerts a pulling force on the pull rod 24, the lever handle 25 can be received in the receiving groove 211, which provides high concealment and avoids accidental contact of the lever handle 25, which would cause the suction cup structure 2 to lose its suction force and consequently cause the ground support rod 1 to tip over.

[0044] Preferably, to facilitate manual operation of the lever handle 25, a receiving groove 211 is provided at the top of the suction cup base 21 and extends through the outer side wall of the suction cup base 21; the pivot point between the lever handle 25 and the pull rod 24 is located at the end of the receiving groove 211 away from the outer side wall of the suction cup base 21. In this way, a hand can reach radially from the outside to the inside along the outer side wall of the suction cup base 21 and grasp the lever handle 25, thereby controlling the lever handle 25.

[0045] Preferably, in order to reduce manufacturing costs and the overall weight of the clothes rack, the suction cup base 21 has multiple support ribs 212 inside, which are distributed at intervals to form a weight-reducing area 213 between adjacent support ribs 212. It is understood that, as an alternative arrangement, the suction cup base 21 can be configured as a solid structure.

[0046] Preferably, multiple suction cup structures 2 are provided, and the multiple suction cup structures 2 are distributed circumferentially around the support rod 1 at intervals. In this arrangement, the multiple suction cup structures 2 are arranged around the support rod 1, so that the negative pressure adsorption force of the support rod 1 in all directions is more uniform, making the support rod 1 less likely to tip over.

[0047] This utility model also discloses a clothes drying rack, which includes a clothes drying component and an adsorption-type ground pole structure for the clothes drying rack; the clothes drying component is used for drying clothes, and the clothes drying component is connected to the ground pole 1 and supported by the ground pole 1.
