Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of smart homes, and in particular relates to a smart clothes drying rod. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of high-smart homes, the intelligence of clothes drying rods lags behind other household devices. Traditional outdoor clothes drying rods are greatly affected by the weather. When it suddenly blows or rains, people cannot take the clothes back outside, and the clothes will inevitably be blown off and become dirty or wet; or silk clothes will be degenerated and shortened in service life if exposed to the sun for a long time.

[0003] The purpose of most current patents is intelligent rain protection, and the functions are relatively simple, mainly including awnings, roller blind shafts, clothes drying rod telescopic mechanisms, etc. There is no innovation in the structure and it is relatively complicated. Most current patents do not take into account various real-life emergencies when achieving their effects, and the effects are not obvious, and they cannot effectively achieve their purposes. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides an intelligent clothes drying rod, which can realize the intelligent rainproof function of outdoor clothes drying rods and the intelligent windproof and sun-proof function of clothes drying rods. The present invention has a simple structure, does not have too many complicated internal structures, and solves the problem of insufficient protection of clothes when users go out in view of unexpected situations that may be encountered in reality.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0006] A smart clothes-drying rod comprises a supporting base frame, rod bodies are provided on both sides of the supporting base frame, a top rod is connected between the tops of the two rod bodies, a containing box is provided at one end of the top rod, a sensor module is placed in the containing box, airfoil film unfolding devices are connected to both sides of the top rod through hinges, a push frame is provided at the bottom of the top rod, a plurality of hooks are provided at the bottom of the top rod, a power supply, a control unit and a motor are built into the top rod, the control unit is electrically connected to the sensor module and the motor, the power supply supplies power to the control unit, the sensor module and the motor, a first gear is fixed in the middle of the airfoil film unfolding device, a second gear is fixed in the middle of the push frame, and the rotating shaft of the motor is transmitted through the gears in the top rod and the first gear of the airfoil film unfolding device and the second gear of the push frame.

[0007] The initial state of the wing-shaped film unfolding devices on both sides of the top rod is: the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices are folded and placed vertically and parallelly on the top of the top rod. When the present invention is used, the sensor module is first used to make a real-time judgment on the external weather. When the environment changes, the sensor module transmits the signal to the control unit, and the control unit receives the signal to drive the motor; the motor rotates the wing-shaped film unfolding device downward through gear transmission, and at the same time, the motor synchronously rotates the push frame, so that the push frame rotates the clothes hung on the hook. When the motor rotates 90 degrees, the clothes change from being perpendicular to the top rod to being roughly in the same plane as the top rod. When the motor rotates 180 degrees, that is, when the bottoms of the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices are parallel to each other, the control unit stops the motor; finally, the clothes are wrapped between the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices to form a closed space. At this time, the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices play a shielding role to prevent the clothes from getting wet / sunburned / blown to the ground.

[0008] Furthermore, the sensor module includes a rain sensor module, a photoresistor sensor module, and a wind sensor module, which are used to sense whether it is raining, light intensity, and wind speed, and monitor the external weather conditions in real time.

[0009] Furthermore, the airfoil film unfolding device includes an active member and a driven member, one side of the active member is connected to the top rod by a hinge, and the other side is connected to the driven member by a hinge, so as to facilitate folding, stowing and unfolding and save space.

[0010] Furthermore, the active member and the driven member are both box-shaped frames of stainless steel or carbon fiber, and the surfaces are covered with films, so that the clothes are wrapped in a closed space formed between two wing-shaped film unfolding devices to accommodate the clothes, saving space and enhancing stability.

[0011] Furthermore, the film is a PET protective film.

[0012] Furthermore, the push frame includes a side rod and a cross rod, and the two side rods and the two cross rods are arranged in parallel in pairs to form a parallelogram push frame, and the connection points between the side rods and the cross rods are hinged.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of vertical rods are vertically arranged at the bottom of the crossbar, and the plurality of vertical rods are evenly distributed on the crossbar.

[0014] Furthermore, a push rod is provided in the middle of the two cross rods, the push rod is parallel to the side rods, and both ends of the push rod are respectively hinged to the two cross rods, and the second gear is fixed on the top of the push rod.

[0015] When the weather gets bad, the motor rotates the push rod of the push rack through the second gear, and the push rod deforms the push rack, and the push rack changes from a rectangular shape in use to a nearly straight line when folded and stowed. At the same time, the vertical rod on the horizontal rod swings the clothes hanger, so that the clothes change from being perpendicular to the top rod to being roughly in the same plane as the top rod, so that the clothes are stacked in a straight line between the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices, which greatly saves space and is easy to store. When it needs to be opened, the reverse drive motor can restore the push rack to its original state so that it can continue to dry clothes.

[0016] Furthermore, the control unit includes a single chip microcomputer.

[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of the hooks are evenly distributed in a straight line at the bottom of the top rod, which is convenient for hanging clothes, helps to clearly space the clothes, enhances ventilation and drying area, and makes it easy to dry clothes.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] The intelligent outdoor clothes-drying rod of the present invention relies on the sensor module to make real-time judgments on the external weather, and can intelligently and effectively protect clothes in the case of strong winds, rain or exposure to the sun;

[0020] The smart outdoor clothes-drying rod of the present invention, although its wing-shaped film unfolding device is an independent innovative device, has a simple structure, a high degree of overall intelligence and automation, and strong operability. The present invention is intelligent and automatic in the entire protection process, does not require human intervention, is easy to use, easy to promote, and effectively improves the intelligence level of the home.

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] like Figure 1-9 As shown, an intelligent clothes-drying rod comprises a supporting base frame 1, rod bodies 2 are arranged on both sides of the supporting base frame 1, a top rod 3 is connected between the tops of the two rod bodies 2, a containing box 4 is arranged at one end of the top rod 3, a sensor module is placed in the containing box 4, airfoil film unfolding devices 5 are connected to both sides of the top rod 3 through hinges, a pushing frame 7 is arranged at the bottom of the top rod 3, a plurality of hooks are arranged at the bottom of the top rod 3, a power supply, a control unit and a motor 6 are built in the top rod 3, the control unit is electrically connected to the sensor module and the motor 6, the power supply supplies power to the control unit, the sensor module and the motor 6, a first gear 503 is fixed in the middle of the airfoil film unfolding device 5, a second gear 705 is fixed in the middle of the pushing frame 7, and the rotating shaft of the motor 6 is transmitted through gears and the first gear 503 of the airfoil film unfolding device 5 and the second gear 705 of the pushing frame 7 in the top rod 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, the sensor module includes a rain sensor module, a photoresistor sensor module, and a wind sensor module. The sensor module is used to sense whether it is raining, light intensity and wind speed, and monitor the external weather conditions in real time.

[0035] In this embodiment, the wing-shaped film unfolding device 5 includes an active member 501 and a driven member 502. One side of the active member 501 is connected to the top rod 3 by a hinge, and the other side is connected to the driven member 502 by a hinge, which is convenient for folding and unfolding, saving space. The active member 501 and the driven member 502 are both box-shaped frames made of stainless steel or carbon fiber, and the surfaces are covered with films, so that the clothes are wrapped between the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices 5 to form a closed space that can accommodate the clothes, saving space and enhancing stability. The film adopts PET protective film.

[0036] See also Figure 8 In this embodiment, the push frame 7 includes a side bar 701 and a cross bar 702. The two side bars 701 and the two cross bars 702 are arranged in parallel to form a parallelogram push frame 7. The connection points between the side bars 701 and the cross bars 702 are all hinged. A plurality of vertical bars 703 are vertically arranged at the bottom of the cross bar 702, and the plurality of vertical bars 703 are evenly distributed on the cross bar 702. A push rod 704 is arranged in the middle of the two cross bars 702. The push rod 704 is parallel to the side bars 701, and both ends are respectively hinged to the two cross bars 702. The second gear 705 is fixed to the top of the push rod 704.

[0037] When the weather gets bad, the motor 6 rotates the push rod 704 of the push frame 7 through the second gear 705, and the push rod 704 deforms the push frame 7, and the push frame 7 changes from a rectangular shape in the use state to a folded and retracted shape close to a straight line. At the same time, the vertical rod 703 on the horizontal rod 702 swings the clothes hanger, so that the clothes change from being perpendicular to the top rod 3 to being roughly in the same plane with the top rod 3, such as Figure 7 As shown, the clothes are stacked in a straight line between two wing-shaped film unfolding devices 5, which greatly saves space and is easy to store. When it is needed to open, the reverse driving motor 6 can restore the push rack 7 to its original state so that it can continue to dry clothes.

[0038] In this embodiment, the control unit includes a single chip microcomputer, which receives the signal from the sensor module and controls the motor 6 according to the signal. The technical means and control principles involved in the above control process are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0039] In this embodiment, a plurality of hooks are evenly distributed in a straight line at the bottom of the top rod 3, which is convenient for hanging clothes, helps to clearly space the clothes, enhances ventilation and drying area, and makes clothes easy to dry.

[0040] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In this embodiment, the driving process of the motor 6 is as follows:

[0041] The rotating shaft of the motor rotates, causing the spur gear on the rotating shaft to rotate, wherein the spur gear close to the motor 6 meshes with the first gear 503 of the airfoil film unfolding device 5 on the right side, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the airfoil film unfolding device 5 on the right side is rotated by the first gear 503, the middle spur gear is meshed with the bevel gear, and the bevel gear is transmitted to the second gear 705 of the push frame 7 through the gear belt 8, so that the second gear 705 drives the push rod 704 of the push frame 7 to rotate, and the other spur gear away from the motor 6 is transmitted to the first gear 503 of the airfoil film unfolding device 5 on the left side through the gear belt 8, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the airfoil film unfolding device 5 on the left side is rotated by the first gear 503 .

[0042] The working process of the intelligent clothes drying rod of the present invention is as follows:

[0043] When the normal drying state is maintained, the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices 5 are folded and vertically and parallelly placed on the top of the top rod 3, such as Figure 5 When the present invention is used, the sensor module installed in the container box 4 first monitors the external weather conditions in real time. When the environment changes (raining / excessive light / strong wind), the sensor module transmits a signal to the control unit, and the control unit receives the signal to drive the motor 6; the motor 6 drives the airfoil film unfolding devices 5 on both sides to rotate downward and unfold through gear transmission, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, at the same time, the motor 6 causes the push frame 7 to rotate synchronously through the gear, so that the push frame 7 rotates the clothes hung on the hook, and the motor 6 causes the second gear 705 of the push frame 7 to rotate through the gear belt, and the second gear 705 drives the push rod 704 to rotate. When the motor 6 rotates 90 degrees, the push rod 704 causes the push frame 7 to change from a rectangular shape in use to a folded and retracted shape that is close to a straight line. At the same time, the vertical rod 703 on the horizontal rod 702 swings the clothes hanger, so that the clothes change from being perpendicular to the top rod 3 to being roughly in the same plane with the top rod 3; when the motor 6 rotates 180 degrees, that is, when the driven members 502 at the bottom of the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices 5 are in parallel contact with each other, the control unit stops the motor 6; finally, the clothes are wrapped between the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices 5 to form a closed space, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices 5 play a shielding role to prevent the clothes from getting wet / damaged by the sun / blown to the ground.

[0044] When the sensor module in the storage box 4 detects that the environmental conditions are suitable for drying clothes (no rain / suitable sunlight / weak wind), the signal is transmitted to the control unit. After receiving the signal, the control unit drives the motor 6 to reverse 180 degrees. The motor 6 can restore the two wing-shaped film unfolding devices 5 to the initial state upward, and at the same time restore the push frame 7 to the original rectangle. The vertical rod 703 of the push frame 7 also makes the drying direction of the clothes perpendicular to the top rod 3, that is, the entire device returns to the original drying state. Figure 5 The initial state.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here.
