[0030] The mounting frame 431 includes two guide rods 4313 and a frame 4310. The frame 4310 includes a crossbar 4311 and a vertical rod 4312. The crossbar 4311 and the vertical rod 4312 can both be straight rods. The two crossbars 4311 are arranged horizontally and parallel to each other. The two vertical rods 4312 are arranged vertically. The two ends of each vertical rod 4312 are respectively connected to the two crossbars 4311. The two vertical rods 4312 and the two crossbars 4311 are connected to form a frame structure. The frame 4310 and the first shell 411 can be screwed. In this embodiment, the two crossbars 4311 are respectively screwed to the top plate and the bottom plate of the first shell 411. The two guide rods 4313 are straight rods. The two guide rods 4313 are arranged vertically. The two ends of the guide rod 4313 are respectively connected to the two crossbars 4311. The two guide rods 4313 are located between the two vertical rods 4312 and are respectively close to the two vertical rods 4312 .

[0031] The slider 432 includes a straight block 4321 and a guide block 4322. The straight block 4321 extends horizontally.

Therefore, the slider 432 can slide in the vertical direction along the mounting frame 431 .

[0032] The roller 433 includes a roller body 4331 and a protrusion 4332. The roller body 4331 is disc-shaped. The roller body 4331 can rotate around its own axis. The axis of the roller body 4331 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide groove 4320.

The protrusion 4332 extends into the slide groove 4320 of the slider 432.

[0033] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the driving mechanism 44 is used to drive the roller body 4331 to rotate. The driving mechanism 44 includes a motor 441, a transmission 442 and a transmission mechanism 440. The motor 441, the transmission 442 and the transmission mechanism 440 are all installed in the first housing 411. The motor 441 and the transmission 442 are close to each other and are both arranged in the middle area of ​​the first housing 411. The motor 441 and the transmission 442 can be connected to the bottom plate screws of the first housing 411. The main shaft of the motor 441 is connected to the transmission 442. The transmission 442 is connected to the transmission mechanism 440. The transmission mechanism 440 is connected to the roller 433. The torque output by the motor 441 is transmitted to the roller 433 through the transmission 442 and the transmission mechanism 440 in turn. The transmission 442 is used to reduce the speed and increase the torque output by the motor 441 and output it to the transmission mechanism 440. The transmission mechanism 440 can be a gear transmission mechanism 440 or a belt transmission mechanism 440.

[0034] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 440 includes a first rotating shaft 443, a second rotating shaft 444, a first bevel gear 445, a second bevel gear 446, a first bearing seat 447, a second bearing seat 448, a first bearing 457, a second bearing 458 and a third bearing 449. One end of the first rotating shaft 443 is connected to the transmission 442, and the other end of the first rotating shaft 443 extends to the end of the first housing 411. Two first bearing seats 447 are provided, and the two first bearing seats 447 are respectively provided at both ends of the first rotating shaft 443. The first bearing seat 447 is screwed to the bottom plate of the first housing 411. The first rotating shaft 443 passes through the first bearing seat 447. Two first bearings 457 are provided, and the two first bearings 457 are respectively provided on the two first bearing seats 447. The outer ring of the first bearing 457 is fixed on the first bearing seat 447, and the inner ring of the first bearing 457 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 443. The inner ring of the first bearing 457 and the first rotating shaft 443 may be interference fit. The first rotating shaft 443 is constrained to rotate only around its own axis. The first bevel gear 445 is sleeved on one end of the first rotating shaft 443 away from the transmission 442 .

[0035] The second rotating shaft 444 is arranged near the end of the first rotating shaft 443 away from the transmission 442. The second rotating shaft 444 is perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 443. The second bearing seat 448 is arranged at one end of the second rotating shaft 444. The second rotating shaft 444 passes through the second bearing seat 448. The outer ring of the second bearing 458 is fixed on the second bearing seat 448. The inner ring of the second bearing 458 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 444. The inner ring of the second bearing 458 and the second rotating shaft 444 may be interference fit. The inner ring of the third bearing 449 is sleeved on the end of the second rotating shaft 444 away from the second bearing 458, and may be interference fit with the second rotating shaft 444. The outer ring of the third bearing 449 is mounted on the side plate of the first housing 411. The second rotating shaft 444 is constrained to rotate only around its own axis. The second bevel gear 446 and the roller 433 are both sleeved on the second rotating shaft 444. The second bevel gear 446 is meshed with the first bevel gear 445.

[0036] After the motor 441 is started, the main shaft of the motor 441 inputs a torque into the transmission 442, and the torque drives the first rotating shaft 443 to rotate after the transmission 442 reduces the speed and increases the torque, and the first rotating shaft 443 drives the first bevel gear 445 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 445 drives the second bevel gear 446 to rotate, and the second bevel gear 446 drives the second rotating shaft 444 to rotate, and the second rotating shaft 444 drives the roller 433 to roll. When the roller 433 rolls, the protrusion 4332 on the roller 433 can drive the slider 432 to reciprocate along the guide rod 4313. When the roller 433 rotates one circle, the slider 432 reciprocates. The clothes drying rod 42 is connected to the slider 432, and the clothes drying rod 42 reciprocates in the vertical direction driven by the slider 432. The speed of the reciprocating motion of the clothes drying rod 42 is determined by the rotation speed of the roller 433. The faster the roller 433 rotates, the faster the movement speed of the clothes drying rod 42. When wet clothes are hung on the clothes drying rod 42, the clothes drying rod 42 can drive the clothes to vibrate rapidly up and down, and the wrinkles of the clothes will be gradually flattened during the vibration. At the same time, the clothes and the air move relative to each other during the vibration, and the water on the clothes will be dried faster.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the transmission mechanism 440 further includes a third rotating shaft 450, a fourth rotating shaft 451, a third bevel gear 452, a fourth bevel gear 453, a third bearing seat 454, a fourth bearing seat 455, a fourth bearing 459, a fifth bearing 460 and a sixth bearing 456. The third rotating shaft 450 is coaxially arranged with the first rotating shaft 443. The transmission 442 is arranged between the first rotating shaft 443 and the third rotating shaft 450. One end of the third rotating shaft 450 is connected to the transmission 442 from the side of the transmission 442 away from the first rotating shaft 443, and the other end of the third rotating shaft 450 extends to the end of the first housing 411 away from the first rotating shaft 443. Two third bearing seats 454 are provided, and the two third bearing seats 454 are respectively arranged at both ends of the third rotating shaft 450. The third bearing seat 454 is screwed to the bottom plate of the first housing 411. The third rotating shaft 450 passes through the third bearing seat 454. Two fourth bearings 459 are provided, and the two fourth bearings 459 are respectively provided on two third bearing seats 454. The outer ring of the fourth bearing 459 is fixed on the third bearing seat 454, and the inner ring of the fourth bearing 459 is sleeved on the third rotating shaft 450. The inner ring of the fourth bearing 459 and the third rotating shaft 450 may be interference fit. The third rotating shaft 450 is constrained to rotate only around its own axis. The third bevel gear 452 is sleeved on one end of the third rotating shaft 450 away from the transmission 442.

[0038] The fourth rotating shaft 451 is arranged near one end of the third rotating shaft 450 away from the transmission 442. The fourth rotating shaft 451 is perpendicular to the third rotating shaft 450. The fourth bearing seat 455 is arranged at one end of the fourth rotating shaft 451. The fourth rotating shaft 451 passes through the fourth bearing seat 455. The outer ring of the fifth bearing 460 is fixed on the fourth bearing seat 455. The inner ring of the fifth bearing 460 is sleeved on the fourth rotating shaft 451. The inner ring of the fifth bearing 460 and the fourth rotating shaft 451 may be interference fit.

[0039] The inner ring of the sixth bearing 456 is sleeved on the end of the fourth rotating shaft 451 away from the fifth bearing 460, and can be an interference fit between the sixth bearing 456 and the fourth rotating shaft 451. The outer ring of the sixth bearing 456 is installed on the side plate of the first housing 411. The fourth rotating shaft 451 is constrained to rotate only around its own axis. The fourth bevel gear 453 is sleeved on the fourth rotating shaft 451. The fourth bevel gear 453 is meshed with the third bevel gear 452.

[0040] Two vibration mechanisms 43 are provided, and the two vibration mechanisms 43 are respectively provided at opposite ends of the first housing 411. The rollers 433 of the two vibration mechanisms 43 are respectively mounted on the second rotating shaft 444 and the fourth rotating shaft 451. Figure 5 As shown, the clothes drying rod 42 includes a hanging rod 421 and two connecting rods 422. The hanging rod 421 is arranged below the first housing 411. The extension direction of the hanging rod 421 is the same as the extension direction of the connecting rod 422. The connecting rod 422 is perpendicular to the hanging rod 421. The two connecting rods 422 extend upward from both ends of the hanging rod 421 to the sliders 432 of the two vibration mechanisms 43, and are respectively connected to the two sliders 432.

[0041] After the motor 441 is started, the main shaft of the motor 441 inputs torque into the transmission 442, and the torque drives the first rotating shaft 443 and the third rotating shaft 450 to rotate at the same time after the transmission 442 reduces the speed and increases the torque. The torque reaches one roller 433 through the first rotating shaft 443, the first bevel gear 445, the second bevel gear 446 and the second rotating shaft 444 in sequence, and is also transmitted to the other roller 433 through the third rotating shaft 450, the third bevel gear 452, the fourth bevel gear 453 and the fourth rotating shaft 451 in sequence, so that the two rollers 433 can be driven synchronously. When the two rollers 433 rotate synchronously, the two rollers 433 respectively drive the two sliders 432 to reciprocate synchronously in the vertical direction. In the process of synchronously rising and falling, the two sliders 432 synchronously lift and lower the two ends of the clothes drying rod 42, so that the clothes drying rod 42 as a whole can reciprocate smoothly and synchronously to eliminate the wrinkles caused by the washing process and immersion of clothes.

[0042] In an illustrative embodiment, the clothes drying rod 42 further includes a plurality of positioning rings 423. The plurality of positioning rings 423 are all disposed below the hanging rod 421 and connected to the hanging rod 421. The positioning rings 423 are evenly arranged along the extension direction of the hanging rod 421. When hanging clothes, the clothes can be hung on the positioning rings 423 by hooks of the hanger. In this way, when the vibration wrinkle removal mechanism 4 is activated, the hanger is not easily detached from the clothes drying rod 42 due to the vibration of the clothes drying rod 42. At the same time, it is also beneficial to maintain the distance between two adjacent pieces of clothing, and to prevent the two adjacent pieces of clothing from being slowly squeezed together due to the vibration of the clothes drying rod 42, thereby obstructing air circulation.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, two mounting holes are arranged on the bottom plate of the first housing 411. The vibration wrinkle removal mechanism 4 also includes two sliding bearings 7. The two sliding bearings 7 are respectively arranged in the two mounting holes. The middle part of the sliding bearing 7 has a through hole, which connects the inside and outside of the first housing 411. The two connecting rods 422 of the clothes drying rod 42 pass through the through holes of the two sliding bearings 7 respectively.

[0044] When the vibration wrinkle removal mechanism 4 is started, the two connecting rods 422 will reciprocate in the vertical direction. The provision of the sliding bearing 7 can reduce the friction between the first shell 411 and the connecting rod 422 and reduce the wear of the connecting rod 422 and the first shell 411.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, two vibration wrinkle removal mechanisms 4 are provided. Both vibration wrinkle removal mechanisms 4 are provided on the frame 31. The distance between the two vibration wrinkle removal mechanisms 4 is slightly smaller than the length of the host 1. Two lifting mechanisms 2 are provided. The upper ends of the two lifting mechanisms 2 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the host 1. The lower ends of the two lifting mechanisms 2 are respectively connected to the second shells 412 of the two vibration wrinkle removal mechanisms 4.

[0046] The two lifting mechanisms 2 can synchronously drive the clothes drying rack 3 to rise and fall smoothly, ensuring that both sides of the clothes drying rod 42 are always maintained at the same horizontal height during the movement, and at the same time, the connection between the clothes drying rack 3 and the main unit 1 is more stable.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the clothes drying rack 3 further includes a clothes hanging rod 313. Both ends of the clothes hanging rod 313 are respectively connected to the middle of the second housing 412 of the two vibration wrinkle removal mechanisms 4. The clothes hanging rod 313 further strengthens the structural strength of the clothes drying rack 3, and the clothes hanging rod 313 can also be used to hang clothes, so that the clothes drying rack 3 can hang more clothes.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the first shell 411 and the second shell 412 may be an integral structure, which can ensure the strength of the housing 41, making it easier to install the parts connected to the first shell 411 and the second shell 412. At the same time, the first shell 411 and the second shell 412 are respectively equipped with different functional components, which can ensure the reliability of the transmission and control of the components in the first shell 411, and also ensure that the moving components in the first shell 411 and the second shell 412 do not interfere with each other during movement.

[0049] In an illustrative embodiment, the host 1 includes a housing 11 and a control circuit (not shown). The control circuit is disposed in the housing 11. The control circuit can control the operating state of the motor 441. The operating state of the motor 441 includes starting, accelerating, running at a constant speed, decelerating, and stopping.

[0050] like Figure 1 , 7 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the clothes drying machine also includes a power connection device 5. The power connection device 5 includes a power transmission component 51 and a power connection component 52. The power transmission component 51 includes a first power connection contact block 511 and a second power connection contact block 512. The first power connection contact block 511 and the second power connection contact block 512 are both arranged on the outer side of the bottom plate of the main unit 1. The first power connection contact block 511 and the second power connection contact block 512 face downward. The first power connection contact block 511 and the second power connection contact block 512 are both conductors. The first power connection contact block 511 and the second power connection contact block 512 are electrically connected to a vibration power switch controlled by a control circuit through a cable. When the vibration power switch is turned on, the first power connection contact block 511 and the second power connection contact block 512 are both connected to the power supply, so that the power supply outputs power to the first power connection contact block 511 and the second power connection contact block 512.

[0051] The power connection assembly 52 includes an insulating seat 521, a first power connection contact pin 522, a second power connection contact pin 523, a first stopper 526, a second stopper 527, a first elastic member 524 and a second elastic member 525. The insulating seat 521 is arranged on the clothes drying rack 3. The insulating seat 521 can be arranged in the clothes hanging rod 313. The insulating seat 521 is made of an insulating material, such as plastic. The insulating seat 521 is fixed on the clothes hanging rod 313. In this embodiment, the clothes hanging rod 313 is a hollow tube, and the insulating seat 521 is arranged in the clothes hanging rod 313. The insulating seat 521 includes a column 5211, a first support plate 5212 and a second support plate 5213. The column 5211 extends vertically. The first support plate 5212 is arranged at the top of the column 5211. The first support plate 5212 is a flat plate and is arranged horizontally. Two first channels 5215 are arranged on the first support plate 5212. The first hole 5215 passes through the first support plate 5212. The second support plate 5213 is connected to the column 5211. The second support plate 5213 is arranged below the first support plate 5212 and parallel to the first support plate 5212. Two second holes 5216 are arranged on the second support plate 5213. The second holes 5216 pass through the second support plate 5213.

[0052] The first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523 are both conductors. The first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523 respectively penetrate the two first holes 5215 on the first support plate 5212. The first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523 are also inserted into the two second holes 5216 respectively. The first limiter 526 and the second limiter 527 are both arranged between the first support plate 5212 and the second support plate 5213. The first limiter 526 and the second limiter 527 are respectively arranged on the first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523. The first limiter 526 can be a pin that vertically penetrates the first power contact pin 522, and the second limiter 527 can be a pin that vertically penetrates the second power contact pin 523. The first elastic member 524 and the second elastic member 525 can be compression springs. The first elastic member 524 and the second elastic member 525 are respectively mounted on the first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523. One end of the first elastic member 524 abuts against the second support plate 5213, and the other end of the first elastic member 524 abuts against the first stopper 526. The first elastic member 524 is in a compressed state, and is used to apply a vertical upward elastic force to the first elastic member 524. One end of the second elastic member 525 abuts against the second support plate 5213, and the other end of the second elastic member 525 abuts against the second stopper 527. The second elastic member 525 is in a compressed state, and is used to apply a vertical upward elastic force to the second elastic member 525.

[0053] The first electrical contact pin 522 and the second electrical contact pin 523 are electrically connected to the motor 441 of the vibration wrinkle removal mechanism 4 through a cable. Fig. 9 As shown, the first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523 are aligned with the first power contact block 511 and the second power contact block 512 in the vertical direction respectively.

[0054] When the lifting mechanism 2 lifts the clothes drying rack 3 to a position close to the main unit 1, the first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523 respectively abut against the first power contact block 511 and the second power contact block 512. The first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523 move downward under the pressure of the first power contact block 511 and the second power contact block 512 respectively. When the first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523 move downward, the first limiter 526 and the second limiter 527 compress the first elastic member 524 and the second elastic member 525 respectively. The first elastic member 524 and the second elastic member 525 apply vertical upward restoring elastic force to the first limiter 526 and the second limiter 527 respectively, so that the first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523 are respectively tightly against the first power contact block 511 and the second power contact block 512. In this way, the first power contact pin 522 and the second power contact pin 523 can respectively draw electricity from the first power contact block 511 and the second power contact block 512 to transmit electricity to the motor 441 .

[0055] After the lifting mechanism 2 lowers the clothes drying rack 3, the power supply component 51 and the power connection component 52 are disconnected, and the clothes drying rack 3 is completely powered off, which can ensure that people will not get an electric shock when hanging clothes on the clothes drying rack 3. Of course, a set of power connection contact blocks and power connection contact pins can also be provided, the power connection contact block is provided on the main unit 1 and is electrically connected to the ground wire, and the power connection contact pins are provided on the insulating seat body 521 and are electrically connected to the clothes drying rack 3. When the power connection contact block and the power connection contact pin are in contact with each other, if the clothes drying rack 3 leaks electricity, it can also be guided to the ground wire through the power connection contact block and the power connection contact pin, which can further prevent electric shock.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the insulating seat 521 further includes a vertical plate 5214. Two ends of the vertical plate 5214 are respectively connected to the first support plate 5212 and the second support plate 5213. The vertical plate 5214 is located between the first elastic member 524 and the second elastic member 525. The vertical plate 5214 isolates the first power contact pin 522 from the second power contact pin 523, and also isolates the first elastic member 524 from the second elastic member 525 to avoid short circuit.

[0057] In an illustrative embodiment, two power connection devices 5 are provided. The power connection components 52 of the two power connection devices 5 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the clothes hanging rod 313. The power connection components 52 of the two power connection devices 5 are respectively electrically connected to the motors 441 of the two vibration wrinkle removal mechanisms 4 through cables. The power transmission components 51 of the two power connection devices 5 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the bottom plate of the main unit 1. Both power transmission components 51 are electrically connected to the vibration power switch on the main unit 1.

[0058] When the lifting mechanism 2 lifts the clothes drying rack to a position close to the main unit 1, the two power connection components 52 can be connected to the two power supply components 51 respectively. The two motors 441 can be connected to the control circuit through the two power connection devices 5 respectively.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, a control method for a clothes drying machine is also proposed. The control method is pre-stored in a control circuit, and the control method is implemented by controlling various actuators of the clothes drying machine through the control circuit. Fig.10 As shown, the control method includes the following starting steps:

[0060] S1a: After receiving the wrinkle removal start instruction, the control circuit detects whether the clothes drying rack 3 has reached the preset height where the power transmission component 51 and the power connection component 52 are connected. If it has not reached the preset height, the control circuit enters step S2a; if it has reached the preset height, the control circuit enters step S3a;

[0061] In this step, the user can issue a wrinkle removal start command to the control circuit via the remote controller. Whether the clothes drying rack 3 is at a preset height can be detected by setting a proximity switch or a limit switch on the host 1, or by setting a displacement sensor on the host 1.

[0062] S2a: The control circuit drives the lifting mechanism 2 to adjust the position of the clothes drying rack 3 to a preset height, and then proceeds to step S3a;

[0063] After reaching the preset height, the power transmission component 51 contacts the power connection component 52, and the motor 441 in the drive mechanism 44 can be connected to the vibration power switch through the power connection component 52 and the power transmission component 51. The vibration power switch is controlled by the control circuit and can supply power to the power transmission component 51 when turned on.

[0064] S3a: The control circuit turns on the vibration power switch connected to the power supply component 51 to supply power to the driving mechanism 44 of the vibration wrinkle removal mechanism 4.

[0065] After the vibration power switch is turned on, the power is supplied to the motor 441 of the driving mechanism 44 through the power supply component 51 and the power receiving component 52. After the motor 441 is energized, it drives the vibration mechanism 43 to drive the clothes drying rod 42 to vibrate.

[0066] like Fig.11 As shown, the control method also includes the following closing steps:

[0067] S1b: After receiving the de-wrinkle closing instruction, the control circuit detects whether the clothes drying rack 3 is at a preset height where the power transmission component 51 and the power connection component 52 are connected. If yes, the control circuit enters step S2b, otherwise, the control circuit enters step S3b;

[0068] In this step, the user can issue a command to turn off the wrinkle removal to the control circuit through the remote controller.

[0069] S2b: The control circuit turns off the vibration power switch;

[0070] S3b: End control;

[0071] like Fig.12 As shown, the control method also includes the following descending steps:

[0072] S1c: after receiving the command to lower the clothes rack, the control circuit detects whether the clothes rack 3 is at a preset height where the power transmission component 51 and the power connection component 52 are connected. If yes, the control circuit enters step S2c, otherwise, the control circuit enters step S3c;

[0073] In this step, the user can use the remote controller to issue a command to lower the clothes rack to the control circuit.

[0074] S2c: The control circuit turns off the vibration power switch to cut off the power to the driving mechanism 44 of the vibration wrinkle removal mechanism 4, and then enters step S3c;

[0075] S3c: The control circuit drives the lifting mechanism 2 to lower the height of the clothes drying rack 3.

[0076] After the height of the clothes drying rack 3 is lowered, it is convenient for users to collect clothes.

[0077] like Fig.13 As shown, the control method also includes the following ascending steps:

[0078] S1d: after receiving the clothes rack rising instruction, the control circuit detects whether the clothes rack 3 is at a preset height where the power transmission component 51 and the power connection component 52 are connected. If yes, the control circuit enters step S2d, otherwise, the control circuit enters step S3d;

[0079] In this step, the user can issue a command to raise the clothes rack to the control circuit through the remote control.

[0080] S2d: end control;

[0081] S3d: The control circuit drives the lifting mechanism 2 to raise the height of the clothes drying rack 3 until the clothes drying rack 3 reaches the preset height.
