Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, and more particularly to an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack. Prior Technology

[0002] Note that washing and drying clothes are daily chores. The process of hanging and taking down clothes often requires walking back and forth repeatedly, which increases physical exertion and time. Moreover, due to the position and angle of drying clothes, usually only one side of the clothes can be directly exposed to the sun. Modern people are often away from home for long periods of time and cannot adjust the position of their clothes, making it difficult for the other side of the clothes to dry, thus affecting the drying effect.

[0003] A conventional clothes drying rack, such as Republic of China Patent No. I491778, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, is a rotating clothes drying rack (90) with a main frame (91). A solar collector (92) is provided on the top of the main frame (91) to assist in power generation. The rotating clothes drying rack (90) is provided with several hanging rods (93) that can be unfolded or retracted. The hanging rods (93) are rotated by a motor (94) rotating an outer rotor (95). However, it is not difficult to see that in order for the hanging rods (93) to hang clothes, they need to be unfolded and rotated along the main frame (91), which makes the space occupied during use larger than expected. Moreover, this radial hanging structure of clothes also has many inconveniences in hanging and taking down clothes.

[0004] Therefore, the inventor, in view of this, conceived the idea of ​​invention, and designed it based on many years of experience. After extensive research, sample testing, and numerous revisions and improvements, the inventor finally launched this invention. Summary of the Invention

[0029] To enable your review committee to have a better understanding of the purpose, features, and effects of this invention, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5. This invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, which includes an intelligent clothes drying rack (10). The intelligent clothes drying rack (10) has a base frame (11), and a top frame (12) is provided on the top of the base frame (11). The top frame (12) is provided with a number of drive wheels (13). The drive wheels (13) are combined with a winding belt (14). The surface of the winding belt (14) is provided with a number of hanging units (141) for hooking any number of clothes (20). A rotating motor (15) rotates. The drive wheel (13) moves the hanging unit (141) by winding the winding belt (14). The top frame (12) is equipped with several intelligent sensors (16) to detect when the hanging unit (141) hooks or removes the clothing (20). Then, the drive motor (15) is controlled to make the winding belt (14) wind up so that the adjacent hanging unit (141) moves to the current position of the hanging unit (141). The drive motor (15) will wind the winding belt (14) at intervals to adjust the position of the clothing (20).

[0031] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, through the above structure, the intelligent sensor (16) detects changes in the quantity of clothing (20) and controls the rotating motor (15) to cause the winding belt (14) to wind the distance between the two hanging units (141). When the user hangs the clothing (20) on the hanging unit (141), the next hanging unit (141) will move in front of the user's current position, so all the clothing (20) can be hung without moving. As shown in Figure 7, The rotating motor (15) will periodically rotate the rotating belt (14) at regular intervals, thereby adjusting the position of the clothes (20) to maximize the amount of clothes (20) exposed to sunlight and improve drying efficiency. As shown in Figure 8, after the user picks up the clothes (20) from the hanging unit (141), the next hanging unit (141) will also move to the user's current position, thereby improving the hanging efficiency of the clothes (20) and allowing the user to complete the work without moving.

[0032] Therefore, the use of the smart clothes drying rack (10) can save time in drying and taking down clothes. In the absence of management, the rotating motor (15) can rotate the belt (14) at regular intervals, so that all the clothes (20) can be exposed to sunlight as much as possible, thus improving the drying efficiency and making the clothes (20) easier to dry by natural sunlight. The hanging unit (141) moves with the rotating belt (14) to achieve the effect of rotation, thus achieving the effect of smart clothes drying and increasing the drying efficiency. Moreover, the rotating belt (14) can be used as a track to allow the movement trajectory of the hanging unit (141) to have more variations in order to match the placement of the smart clothes drying rack (10). Compared with a circular rotation trajectory, it can avoid wasting too much space.

[0033] The present invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, wherein the intelligent sensor (16) uses ultrasound to sense whether the hanging unit (141) hooks or removes the clothes (20).

[0034] The present invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, wherein the base frame (11) and the top frame (12) are made of aluminum alloy, which is more corrosion resistant, and the intelligent clothes drying rack (10) is suitable for outdoor use.

[0035] The present invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, wherein the rotating motor (15) is a stepper motor, which can easily achieve high-precision positioning and movement of the winding belt (14).

[0036] The present invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, wherein a fan (111) is provided on the base frame (11) to enhance air circulation and accelerate the drying of the clothes (20).

[0037] The present invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, wherein a lamp (112) is provided on the base frame (11), the lamp (112) is an ultraviolet germicidal lamp or a baking lamp, which can help the clothes (20) to be sterilized or dried faster.

[0038] As shown in Figure 4, the present invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, wherein the shape and movement trajectory of the rotating belt (14) are rectangular, and the number of transmission wheels (13) is four and located at the four corners of the rotating belt (14).

[0039] The present invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, wherein the transmission wheel (13) is a belt pulley, and the winding belt (14) meshes with the transmission wheel (13) to achieve stable transmission.

[0040] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, this is another embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, wherein a solar panel (17) is provided on the top of the top frame (12) to convert solar energy into power for the intelligent clothes drying rack (10), thereby reducing power consumption and making it more environmentally friendly.

[0041] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, this is another embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, wherein the intelligent clothes drying rack (10) is provided with at least one height adjustment component (18). The height of the top frame (12) can be adjusted through the height adjustment component (18), so that the hanging unit (141) is located at a suitable height for the user, making the hanging and storing of clothes (20) easier.

[0042] The present invention provides an intelligent rotating clothes drying rack, wherein the intelligent clothes drying rack (10) is provided with a safety locking device (not shown) to prevent the height adjustment component (18) and the rotating motor (15) from moving accidentally during operation, thereby enhancing safety.
