[0010] Furthermore, the locking mechanism also includes a butterfly locking nut, which is sleeved on the outside of the shaft pin. When the butterfly locking nut is screwed into the shaft pin, it drives the gear plate to move in the direction of the teeth, so that the gear plate and the teeth on the two half-clamps are meshed, and the gear plate and the teeth that are already meshed with each other are locked by the butterfly locking nut.
[0011] Furthermore, a spring is provided between the side edge of the half-clip and the toothed disc.
[0012] Furthermore, any of the half clips is provided with a hook, and the hook is hinged to the half clip; and the hinge between the hook and the half clip and the elastic ring are both located on the center line of the half clip.
[0013] Furthermore, the hook extends from the hinge in a direction parallel to the long side of the half clip to a position close to the elastic ring to form an extension portion, and the end of the extension portion bypasses the elastic ring and bends toward any long side direction of the half clip to form a bent portion, and the bent portion continues to extend in a direction parallel to the long side of the half clip to form an arc-shaped hook that semi-surrounds the elastic ring.
[0014] Furthermore, the maximum width of the hook is less than or equal to the width of the half clip.
[0015] Furthermore, a groove body which matches the shape of the hook and is used to accommodate the hook is formed on the surface of the half clip provided with the hook.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.
[0028] Embodiment 1
[0029] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, a drying clip includes a clip body, wherein the clip body includes two half clips 1 hinged to each other, and a locking rib 2 is provided in the middle of the two half clips 1. The two half clips 1 are clamped to each other through the locking rib 2, so that the two half clips 1 are symmetrically arranged to form a clip structure.
[0030] The locking ribs 2 of the two half-clamps 1 are correspondingly provided with through holes, and the axle pin 3 is used to penetrate the through holes on the two half-clamps 1, so that the two half-clamps 1 can rotate around the axle pin 3 as the axis, thereby realizing the opening and closing action of the drying clamp.
[0031] The drying clamp is provided with an elastic ring 4, which is an incomplete circular ring structure. An opening is provided on the elastic ring 4, so that the elastic ring 4 forms two ends at the opening, and the two ends of the elastic ring 4 respectively abut against the outer surfaces of the two half-clamps 1, and the ring body of the elastic ring 4 passes through the two half-clamps 1; when the holding ends 101 of the two half-clamps 1 are squeezed by external force, the two half-clamps 1 rotate around the axle pin 3 so that the clamping ends 102 of the two half-clamps 1 are in a state of separation from each other, and at this time, the two ends of the elastic ring 4 abut against the two half-clamps 1, causing the elastic ring 4 to deform; when the external force disappears, the elastic ring 4 resumes its deformation, and the two ends of the elastic ring 4 respectively drive the clamping ends 102 of the two half-clamps 1 to close again, and the whole process realizes the opening and closing action of the drying clamp.
[0032] A locking mechanism is also provided on the drying clamp, and the locking mechanism includes a matching part and a locking part. The matching part is provided on the same side of the two half-clamps 1, and the locking part is sleeved outside the axle pin 3. The locking part is screwed in the direction of the matching part with the axle pin 3 as the axis, so that the locking part clamps the matching parts on the two half-clamps 1 at the same time, allowing the drying clamp to maintain the current opening and closing angle, thereby locking the function of the drying clamp.
[0033] The mating part can be configured as a plurality of grooves provided on the sides of the two half-clamps 1, and the locking part can be correspondingly configured as a rotating disk provided with a protrusion. When the rotating disk is rotated in the direction of the groove with the axle pin 3 as the axis, the protrusion on the rotating disk can be simultaneously stuck in the corresponding grooves on the sides of the two half-clamps 1, thereby achieving the function of locking the drying clip.
[0034] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of teeth 5 are used as the matching parts, and correspondingly, the locking part is set as a toothed disk 6 that can mesh with the teeth 5; a plurality of teeth 5 are provided on the same side of the two half-clamps 1, and the teeth 5 on each half-clamp 1 are distributed on the positioning rib 2 close to the axle pin 3; and the plurality of teeth 5 on each half-clamp 1 are arranged into an arc structure with the same contour as the toothed disk 6, and at the same time, the orthographic projection of the teeth 5 on the two half-clamps 1 on the vertical plane is ensured to coincide with the orthographic projection of the toothed disk 6 on the vertical plane, so that the toothed disk 6 can just clamp the teeth 5 on the two half-clamps 1 when it is screwed in around the axle pin 3, thereby achieving the effect of locking the drying clamp, and the clamping force of the drying clamp can be significantly improved.
[0035] In addition, in order to prevent the toothed disc 6 from loosening and thus being unable to mesh with the teeth 5, a butterfly locking nut 7 is also mounted on the outside of the shaft pin 3, and a thread matching the butterfly locking nut 7 is provided on the outer end of the shaft pin 3. When the butterfly locking nut 7 is screwed into the shaft pin 3, the toothed disc 6 is driven to move in the direction of the teeth 5, that is, the toothed disc 6 is pressed toward the teeth 5, so that the toothed disc 6 and the teeth 5 on the two half-clamps 1 are meshed, and the toothed disc 6 and the teeth 5 that are already meshed with each other are locked by the butterfly locking nut 7, so as to prevent the toothed disc 6 from loosening and affecting the clamping force of the drying clamp.
[0036] At the same time, a spring (not marked in the figure) is provided in the gap between the side of the half clamp 1 and the toothed disc 6. When the drying clamp needs to be unlocked, the butterfly locking nut 7 is screwed outward. At this time, the spring between the half clamp 1 and the toothed disc 6 restores its elastic deformation in the absence of external force, and actively drives the toothed disc 6 to disengage from the teeth 5 while restoring, so that the opening and closing ability of the drying clamp is quickly restored.
[0037] Since the opening and closing range of the existing drying clamps is limited, once the drying clamps clamp the clothes or quilts, the drying clamps with the clothes or quilts cannot be fixed to the drying rod or the drying rope. Therefore, a hook 8 is provided on any of the half clamps 1 in this embodiment, and the drying clamp can be hung on the drying rod or the drying rope by the hook 8, without the need to equip the drying clamp with a dedicated drying rod.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the hook 8 is hinged to the half-clip 1, so that the hook 8 can be stored on the surface of the half-clip 1 when the drying clip is not in use, thereby reducing the storage space of the drying clip. When it is needed to hang the clothes for drying, the hook 8 can be unfolded and the drying clip can be directly hung on the drying rod through the hook 8.
[0039] In this embodiment, an opening is provided on the gripping end 101 of the half clip 1, a hinge shaft is provided in the opening, and the end of the hook 8 is sleeved on the hinge shaft to realize the hinge connection between the hook 8 and the half clip 1. In addition, the hinged part between the hook 8 and the half clip 1 and the elastic ring 4 are both located on the center line of the half clip 1, so that when the hook 8 is unfolded, the drying clip is in a relatively stable state, avoiding the phenomenon of the drying clip tilting in other directions, and improving the overall stability of the drying clip.
[0040] The structure of the hook 8 is set as a semi-enclosed structure, that is, the hook 8 extends from the hinge in a direction parallel to the long side of the half clip 1 to a position close to the elastic ring 4 to form an extension portion 801, and the end of the extension portion 801 bypasses the elastic ring 4 and bends in any long side direction of the half clip 1 to form a bending portion 802, and the bending portion 802 continues to extend in a direction parallel to the long side of the half clip 1 and forms an arc hook 803 that semi-encloses the elastic ring 4, so that the hook 8 can be completely attached to the half clip 1 when it does not need to be unfolded, thereby reducing the storage space; at the same time, the maximum width of the hook 8 is kept less than or equal to the width of the half clip 1, so as to avoid the hook 8 protruding excessively from the half clip 1, thereby increasing the difficulty of storing the drying clip.
[0041] At the same time, a groove (not shown in the figure) matching the shape of the hook 8 can be opened on the outer surface of the half clip 1 provided with the hook 8. When the hook 8 is not needed, the hook 8 can be completely stored in the groove, thereby further reducing the volume of the drying clip and improving the practicability of the drying clip.
[0042] Embodiment 2
[0043] This embodiment improves the structure of the drying clamp on the basis of the first embodiment, and further enhances the clamping force of the drying clamp.
[0044] In this embodiment, a locking rod 9 is hinged on the gripping end 101 of the two half clips 1. Figure 6 As shown, the ends of the two locking rods 9 are penetrated by a rotating shaft 10, and the ends of the two locking rods 9 are mounted on the rotating shaft 10, so that the two locking rods 9 are hinged to each other through the rotating shaft 10, and move around the rotating shaft 10 as the axis when the drying clamp is opened and closed. At the same time, the two locking rods 9 cooperate with each other without affecting the opening and closing action of the drying clamp.
[0045] A nut 11 is mounted on the rotating shaft 10, and a thread matching the nut 11 is provided at the outer end of the rotating shaft 10. The nut 11 is screwed into the rotating shaft 10 along the thread to lock the two locking rods 9, so that the two locking rods 9 cannot move, thereby maintaining the current angle between the two half-clamps 1, thereby achieving the locking effect of the drying clip.
[0046] The rod bodies of the two locking rods 9 both protrude away from the axle pin 3, thereby increasing the strength of the two locking rods 9, so that the two locking rods 9 have sufficient compressive resistance to maintain the current opening and closing range of the drying clamp, further improving the clamping force of the drying clamp.
[0047] The locking rod 9 of this embodiment can be used alone on a common clip, or can be used together with the drying clip with a locking mechanism in the first embodiment.
[0048] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
