DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] 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.

[0033] The clothes drying machine 100 of the present invention refers to Figure 1 As shown, it includes a body and a drying rod 1 that can rotate around the body. During use, the drying rod 1 can be rotated and raised to hang clothes, and the drying rod 1 can also be rotated to move closer to the body so that the drying rod 1 is arranged vertically. At this time, the clothes are all located near the body, and the user can recycle the clothes without walking, which is more labor-saving and convenient.

[0034] In this embodiment, the clothes hanger hook 2 for hanging clothes is provided on the clothes drying rod 1, wherein the clothes hanger hook 2 is slidably arranged on the clothes drying rod 1. In other embodiments, clothes can be directly hung on the clothes drying rod 1.

[0035] In view of the above situation, the present embodiment is further provided with a winding assembly 3, the winding assembly 3 includes a flexible rope 31 connected to all the hanger hooks 2 and a winding wheel 32 for winding the flexible rope 31, and one end of the flexible rope 31 is fixed to the winding wheel. The winding wheel 32 can realize the winding or loosening of the flexible rope 31 by rotating. Through the above arrangement, the user can realize moving all the hanger hooks 2 in the same direction by winding or loosening the flexible rope 31, so that the hanger hooks 2 are gathered, and the clothes are easier to dry. The action of winding and loosening the flexible rope 31 can be realized manually or driven by other power devices.

[0036] In this embodiment, a linkage method is adopted to realize the action of winding and releasing the wire reel, and specifically, a transmission mechanism 4 is also included for transmitting the power of the drying rod rotation to the wire reel 32. The drying rod 1 is fixedly arranged on the transmission mechanism 4 through a rotating shaft 52. When the drying rod 1 swings, the transmission mechanism 4 is driven to move and the wire reel 32 is driven by the transmission mechanism 4 to rotate so that the flexible rope 31 is wound up and the clothes hanger hook 2 is driven to slide close to the body or the flexible rope 31 is stretched and the clothes hanger hook 2 is driven to slide away from the body. Through the setting of the above-mentioned transmission mechanism 4, the action of rotating the drying rod 1 is linked with the action of winding and releasing the wire reel 32, and multiple actions can be realized with only a single driving device, making it more convenient and quick to hang or recycle clothes.

[0037] There are many types of transmission mechanism 4 in this solution. In this embodiment, the gear transmission method is used. Fig.10 As shown, this method can be linked with the clothes-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 rotating shaft 52 and a transmission shaft 43 fixedly connected to the winding wheel 32. When the clothes-drying rod 1 rotates, 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 get started quickly, and the experience is better. In other embodiments, the transmission mechanism 4 can also be a chain drive or a belt drive, etc.

[0038] Preferably, the drying rod 1, the rotating shaft 52 and the primary transmission gear 41 rotate synchronously, and the three can be integrally formed or connected by other structures. In this embodiment, the synchronous rotation of the three is achieved by the cooperation of splines and spline grooves. The setting positions of the splines and spline grooves are not limited, and they can be interchanged with each other.

[0039] Preferably, the transmission mechanism 4 can also adopt multi-stage gear transmission, and also includes a secondary transmission gear 42, wherein 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 100 is relatively small, through multi-stage gear transmission, although the number of gears is increased, the overall structural size is reduced.

[0040] Preferably, the transmission ratio of the primary transmission gear 41 to the first spur gear portion 421 is less than one, and the transmission ratio of the transmission shaft 43 to 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 clothes 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 swings only a certain amplitude.

[0041] In this embodiment, the maximum rotation angle of the drying rod 1 is preferably set to 90°, that is, the drying rod 1 usually has two states, one is a horizontal state, and the other is a horizontal state. Figure 1 As shown, one is the vertical state after folding. Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal state is the state of the clothes-drying rod 1 when clothes are hung. At this time, the winding assembly 3 completely reels the flexible rope 31, and the clothes hooks are arranged on the clothes-drying rod 1 at intervals. After the clothes are hung, a good ventilation environment can be provided. When the user collects the clothes, the clothes-drying rod 1 can be rotated from the horizontal state to the vertical state. During the rotation of the clothes-drying rod 1, the transmission mechanism 4 also drives the winding assembly 3 to rotate and release 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 released. When the clothes-drying rod 1 is completely swung to the vertical state, the flexible rope 31 is completely released, and the hanger hook 2 is completely moved. The user can complete the collection and hanging of clothes without walking. In this embodiment, the clothes-drying rod is rotated upward to a horizontal state, and the clothes-drying rod is rotated downward under its own weight to a vertical state.

[0042] The driving device in this embodiment is used to drive the drying rod to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 52. In this embodiment, a possible implementation method is provided as follows (refer to Figure 3As shown): the driving structure includes a steel wire rope 62 fixedly connected to the clothes drying rod 1 at one end and an electric push rod 61 fixedly connected to the other end of the steel wire rope 62. When the electric push rod 61 is pushed out, it pulls the steel wire rope 62 and drives the clothes drying rod to rotate upward around the rotating shaft 52, or when the electric push rod 61 is retracted, it releases the steel wire rope 62 and the clothes drying rod rotates downward around the rotating shaft 52 by its own weight. Through the above design, the power of the electric push rod 61 rotation is converted into the power to pull the clothes drying rod 1, so that the clothes drying rod 1 can be pulled from a vertical state to a horizontal state to dry the clothes. Similarly, in this scheme, the electric push rod 61 can also use the rotation of the motor to reel in or release the steel wire rope 62 to complete the swing of the clothes drying rod. In other embodiments, there are multiple driving methods that can achieve this function, including cylinder drive, gear set drive, gear rack match drive, etc.

[0043] The above-mentioned driving method is that the steel wire rope 62 directly acts on the clothes-drying rod 1 to drive the clothes-drying rod 1 to swing. Since the clothes-drying rod 1 and the rotating shaft 52 rotate synchronously, similarly, the rotating shaft 52 can also be directly acted on by the motor to rotate the rotating shaft 52, thereby driving the clothes-drying rod 1 to swing.

[0044] Preferably, the number of the clothes drying rods in this embodiment can be increased or decreased according to the accommodation space of the clothes drying machine 100 and customer needs, and correspondingly, the winding assembly 3 and the transmission mechanism 4 need to be matched (refer to Figure 4 As shown), in this embodiment, the drying rod 1 is a U-shaped rod (refer to Figure 5 As shown in the figure, both ends of the U-shaped rod are swingably arranged on the fuselage body, wherein one end of the U-shaped rod is equipped with a set of winding components 3 and a transmission mechanism 4, and the swing of the same U-shaped rod is driven by the same electric push rod 61. The driving structure is also provided with a plurality of steering wheels 63 for adjusting the direction of the wire rope 62, so that the wire rope 62 is led out from the connecting end of the electric push rod 61 and then fixedly connected to the corresponding drying rod 1 through the guidance of the steering wheel 63.

[0045] The winding assembly 3 in this embodiment refers to Figure 8 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.

[0046] 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.

[0047] The flexible rope 31 in this embodiment refers to Fig. 9 As 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.

[0048] The clothes hanger hook 2 in this embodiment refers to Figure 7 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.

[0049] Correspondingly, the cross-sectional view of the drying rod 1 in this embodiment refers to Figure 6 As shown, it is a hollow rod body, and 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.

[0050] Preferably, in order to protect the parts in the mechanism from collision during transportation or use, the winding assembly 3 and the transmission mechanism 4 are provided with a shell for preventing the parts from collision. Fig.11As shown, the outer body of the machine body is also covered with a shell 51, and the driving structure, winding assembly 3, and transmission mechanism 4 are all arranged inside the shell 51. In this embodiment, the top panel of the shell 51 is directly fixed to the ceiling to support and fix the clothes drying machine 100, and the other parts cover the clothes drying machine 100. This design increases the service life and life of the device. The shell 51 has a strip opening 511 at the position corresponding to the drying rod 1. Figure 2 As shown, the clothes drying rod 1 can swing around the strip-shaped opening 511 .

[0051] 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.
