DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] 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.

[0031] The drying rod mechanism 100 of the present invention is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes a housing 5; a drying rod 1, which is swingably arranged on the housing 5; a plurality of hanger hooks 2, which are slidably arranged on the drying rod 1; a winding wheel 32, which is rotatably arranged in the housing 5; a flexible rope 31, which is connected to the hanger hook 2; and one end of which is fixed to the winding wheel 32; a transmission structure 4, which is used to transmit the power of the swing of the drying rod 1 to the winding wheel 32, and the transmission structure 4 is arranged in the housing 5. When the drying rod 1 swings, the transmission structure 4 drives the winding wheel 32 to rotate, so as to reel in the flexible rope 31 to make the hanger hook 2 slide close to the housing 5 or release the flexible rope 31 to make the hanger hook 2 slide away from the housing 5. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, this solution can drive the winding wheel 32 to rotate through the transmission structure 4 in the process of the rotation and swinging of the drying rod 1, so as to reel in or release the flexible rope 31 and drive the hanger hook 2 to move, so that the clothes can automatically approach or move away from the housing 5, and the user can hang clothes more labor-saving and convenient.

[0032] The clothes drying rod 1 in this embodiment usually has two states, one is a horizontal state, and the other is a folded vertical state, wherein the horizontal state is the state of the clothes drying rod 1 when drying clothes. Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the winding wheel 32 completely reels the flexible rope 31, and the clothes hooks are arranged at intervals on the clothes drying rod 1. The clothes can have a better ventilation environment after being hung. When the user collects clothes, the clothes drying rod 1 can be rotated and lowered from a horizontal state to a vertical state. During the rotation of the clothes drying rod 1, the transmission structure 4 also drives the winding wheel 32 to rotate and loosen the flexible rope 31, and the hanger hook 2 also moves to the bottom of the clothes drying rod 1 as the flexible rope 31 is loosened. When the clothes drying rod 1 is completely swung to the vertical state, the flexible rope 31 is completely loosened, and the hanger hook 2 is completely moved. The user can complete the collection and hanging of clothes without walking.

[0033] The transmission structure 4 in this solution has many forms, which can be a gear transmission mechanism, a chain transmission structure 4 and a belt transmission mechanism, etc. In this embodiment, the gear transmission method is adopted. Figure 7 As shown, this method can be linked with the drying rod 1 without the addition of an external power source, and the operation is more convenient and quick. The specific structure includes a primary transmission gear 41 fixedly connected to the fixed end of the drying rod 1 and a transmission shaft 43 fixedly connected to the winding wheel 32. When the drying rod 1 swings, it drives the primary transmission gear 41 to rotate synchronously, and the primary transmission gear 41 drives the transmission shaft 43 to rotate and makes the winding wheel 32 and the transmission shaft 43 rotate synchronously. Through the above-mentioned gear transmission, the transmission is smooth, the transmission ratio is accurate, the operation is reliable, the efficiency is high, the user can quickly get started, and the experience is better.

[0034] Preferably, the transmission structure 4 adopts a multi-stage gear transmission and also includes a secondary transmission gear 42. The secondary transmission gear 42 includes a first spur gear portion 421 meshing with the primary transmission gear 41 and a second spur gear portion 422 meshing with the transmission shaft 43. Since the overall structure of the clothes drying machine is relatively small, through the multi-stage gear transmission, although the number of gears is increased, the overall structural size is reduced.

[0035] Preferably, the transmission ratio between the primary transmission gear 41 and the first spur gear portion 421 is less than one, and the transmission ratio between the transmission shaft 43 and the second spur gear portion 422 is greater than one. Since the rotation amplitude of the primary transmission gear 41 is the same as the swing amplitude of the drying rod 1, and the winding wheel 32 needs to rotate multiple times to wind up the flexible rope 31, the above conversion of the two transmission ratios can make the transmission shaft 43 rotate several times when the primary transmission gear 41 rotates only a certain angle.

[0036] The winding wheel 32 in this embodiment is as follows Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of annular grooves 321 for placing the flexible rope 31 are provided on the side wall of the winding wheel 32, so that the flexible rope 31 can be more smoothly wound when winding or releasing, and will not be entangled with each other to affect the normal use of the mechanism.

[0037] Preferably, the winding wheel 32 and the transmission shaft 43 in this embodiment rotate synchronously, so as to ensure better winding of the flexible rope 31. Specifically, a spline groove is provided in the center of the winding wheel 32, and a spline is provided on the side wall of the transmission shaft 43. The transmission shaft 43 and the winding wheel 32 rotate synchronously through the spline and the spline groove. This design makes the cooperation between the two stable, and there will be no slippage to affect the transmission between the two.

[0038] The flexible rope 31 in this embodiment is as follows Figure 6As shown, the flexible rope 31 is provided with a fixing bead 311 at the fixed end of the winding wheel 32. Here, the fixing bead 311 is used to be buckled and fixed on the winding wheel 32, so that when the winding wheel 32 completely releases the flexible rope 31, the winding wheel 32 and the flexible rope 31 are still connected together, and the winding wheel 32 can rewind the flexible rope 31. At the same time, the other end of the flexible rope 31 is also provided with a plurality of fixing beads 311 for fixed connection with the clothes hanger hook 2. Here, the length of the fixing bead 311 is not long, and the end of the flexible rope 31 provided with the fixing bead 311 is not retracted into the winding wheel 32. At this end, a plurality of the fixing beads 311 are arranged at intervals, and at this time, the clothes hooks are also arranged at intervals, so that when the clothes are dried, there can be enough gaps between the adjacent two to allow ventilation, so that the clothes can be dried faster.

[0039] The clothes hanger hook 2 in this embodiment is as follows Figure 4 As shown, it includes a ring 21 for hanging a hanger, a pulley 22 arranged at the upper end of the ring 21, and a connecting portion 23 arranged at the top of the pulley 22 and connected to the fixing bead 311, wherein the ring 21 can better match the design of the hanger, and the pulley 22 can make the hanger hook 2 smoother and with less resistance during the sliding process. From the above, it can be seen that the hanger hook 2 in this embodiment is connected to the fixing bead 311 of the flexible rope 31, and the specific method is that the connecting portion 23 is provided with a bar-shaped card slot 231 corresponding to the flexible rope 31, and the fixing bead 311 is nested in the bar-shaped card slot 231. This design makes the connection between the hanger hook 2 and the fixing bead 311 stable and firm, and it is also easier and more convenient to disassemble.

[0040] Correspondingly, the drying rod 1 in this embodiment is a hollow rod body such as Figure 3 As shown, the interior of the drying rod 1 is provided with a slide rail 11 for the pulley 22 to slide and a moving cavity 12 for the connecting portion 23 to move, and the moving cavity 12 is located at the top of the slide rail 11. This design is in accordance with the structural design of the hanger hook 2, ensuring that the hanger hook 2 can slide smoothly along the slide rail 11, and at the same time, the flexible rope 31 will not be exposed, and will not affect the retraction and release of the hanger hook 2 due to entanglement.

[0041] Preferably, the winding wheel 32 and the transmission structure 4 are both arranged inside the housing 5. Figure 8 As shown, the components in the mechanism can be protected from wear and tear caused by collision during transportation or use. This design increases the service life and service life of the device.

[0042] The present solution also provides a clothes drying machine, including the above-mentioned clothes drying rod mechanism 100. Through the linkage cooperation of the clothes drying rod mechanism 100, the user does not need to move when collecting and hanging clothes, which is more labor-saving and convenient.

[0043] 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.
