Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of clothes drying machines, in particular to an automatic clothes collecting and discharging structure and a clothes drying machine. Background Art

[0002] As a household item, electric clothes drying machines bring convenience to people's drying and are also conducive to the rational planning and utilization of space. With the continuous improvement of the quality of life, users have higher and higher requirements for the structure and function of clothes drying machines, and the structure of clothes drying machines is also constantly updated and improved. For example, the clothes drying rod of the clothes drying machine was originally a single rod. Later, in order to maintain the stable hanging of the clothes hanger, hanging holes or hanging rings were added to the clothes drying rod. When using a clothes drying rod with hanging holes or hanging rings, users need to hang the clothes one by one in the corresponding hanging holes or hanging rings, and also take the clothes down one by one when collecting them.

[0003] Currently, most clothes drying devices on the market offer functions such as automatic clothes collection, drying, deodorization, and sterilization. When drying clothes, multiple pieces of clothing are typically hung simultaneously, followed by drying, deodorization, and sterilization functions. For automatic clothes collection, multiple relatively slidable hangers, a clothesline, a return spring, a pulley, a traction seat, and an electromagnet are added to the clothesline. These hangers can be powered remotely, causing the electromagnet to magnetically attract the strong magnet on the traction seat. This magnet, along with the traction seat and clothesline, is pulled upward, causing the hangers on the two clotheslines to converge toward one end of the clothesline in opposite directions.

[0004] With this structure, the automatic clothes collecting function requires a reset spring to cooperate with multiple components such as an electromagnet to realize the automatic clothes collecting function. There are many components and it is not possible to realize automatic clothes discharge at the same time. Moreover, the automatic clothes collecting function is realized relatively roughly and cannot collect clothes in a certain order.

[0005] In addition, there are also methods on the market that use two motors to collect and discharge clothes respectively, and cooperate with flexible structural parts such as pull ropes to directly push and pull multiple hanging parts. This method is more expensive, and the pull ropes may be entangled, knotted, and other undesirable conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Example 1

[0049] See also Figures 1 to 3An automatic clothing collection and discharge device includes a sleeve 10, a hanging ring group 20, a driving member 30, a wire rope 40, a driving wheel 50, and a driven wheel 60. The sleeve 10 is provided with a first track 11 and a second track 12 extending along the length direction. The first track 11 is provided with a first notch 13 connected to the second track 12. The second track 12 is located below the first track 11 and has a second notch 14 at the bottom. The first notch 13 and the second notch 14 extend along the length direction of the sleeve 10. The driving wheel 50 and the driven wheel 60 are respectively rotatably arranged on the first track 11. The driven wheel 60 is connected to its rotating shaft by a flat key. The two ends of the rotating shaft of the driven wheel 60 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first track 11 through bearings 61. The wire rope 40 is wound between the driving wheel 50 and the driven wheel 60. When the driving wheel 50 rotates, it drives the wire rope 40 to move linearly, and the driven wheel 60 is driven. A pulley 51 can also be set on one side of the driving wheel 50. The pulley 51 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 10 through a pulley seat 52. By adjusting the size and height of the pulley 51, it can be ensured that the wire rope 40 passes through the pulley 51, the hanging ring group 20 and the driven wheel 60 at the same horizontal height.

[0050] The hanging ring group 20 is located in the second track 12, one end of which is fixedly connected to the wire rope 40, and the other end is fixed relative to the sleeve 10. In addition, the bottom wall of the first track 11 can constitute a limit portion 15, so that the hanging ring group 20 will not be displaced or derailed during the sliding process. The driving member 30 is a motor, which is fixedly connected to the sleeve 10 through a motor fixing seat 31. The driving member 30 can be located below the sleeve 10, and its output shaft is connected to drive the driving wheel 50 to rotate so that the wire rope 40 drives the hanging ring group 20 to extend or retract to realize clothing discharge or collection, wherein the distance between the driving wheel 50 and the driven wheel 60 can be greater than the length of the hanging ring group 20 when it is retracted.

[0051] The loop assembly 20 includes a fixed loop 20a and several sliding loops 20b. The sliding loops 20b are connected in sequence. A drive member 30 is connected to the driving wheel 50 to rotate, causing the wire rope 40 to slide along the second track 12, sequentially opening and closing the loops to release clothes or pushing and closing clothes to collect them. The sliding loops 20b have a sliding portion 21 and a hanging portion 22. The sliding portion 21 slidably engages with the second track 12 and is equipped with a slider 23 and a hook 24. The slider 23 is shorter than the hook 24. The hanging portion 22 is perpendicular to the sliding portion 21 and passes through the second notch 14. Specifically, the hanging portion 22 is perpendicularly connected to the slider 23.

[0052] The sliding portion 21 of the sliding ring 20b at one end of the ring group 20 is fixedly connected to the wire rope 40, and the adjacent sliding rings 20b are slidably connected via the slider 23 and the hook 24. That is, when the sliding ring 20b at the end moves, it can drive the other sliding ring 20b connected to it to move, and so on. Figure 4 、 Figure 7 The sliding connection means that the slider 23 of a certain sliding ring 20b can slide in the hook 24 of the left sliding ring 20b connected thereto, and the end of its hook 24 can slide in the hook 24 of the right adjacent sliding ring 20b connected thereto.

[0053] The fixed hanging ring 20a is located at the other end of the hanging ring group 20 and is fixed to the sleeve 10. The fixed hanging ring 20a is provided with a groove 25 and at least one hanging portion 22. The hanging portion 22 passes through the second notch 14. The groove 25 of the fixed hanging ring 20a is connected to the hook 24 of the adjacent sliding hanging ring 20b, that is, the hook 24 of the sliding hanging ring 20b can slide in the groove 25. Figure 11 .

[0054] The fixed hanging loop 20a of the present invention can have its slot 25 formed by two fixed sliders spaced apart. While ensuring the length of the slot 25, when two garment hanging portions 22 are provided, the spacing between the two garment hanging portions 22 can be controlled by adjusting the lengths of the two fixed sliders. Alternatively, for aesthetic reasons, the fixed hanging loop 20a can be provided with only one garment hanging portion 22, ensuring that the spacing between each two garment hanging portions 22 in the hanging loop assembly 20 is the same.

[0055] Furthermore, the plurality of sliding rings 20b can be divided into a plurality of first sliding rings 20b-1 and a plurality of second sliding rings 20b-2, and the plurality of first sliding rings 20b-1 and the plurality of second sliding rings 20b-2 are arranged alternately. Then, when the steel wire rope 40 is connected to the first first sliding ring 20b-1 and drives the plurality of sliding rings 20b to sequentially pull open the row of clothes, the end of the hook 24 of the first sliding ring 20b-1 hooks the corresponding end of the slider 23 of the second sliding ring 20b-2 connected thereto, that is, the end of the slider 23 close to the hook 24. The end of the hook 24 of the second sliding ring 20b-2 also hooks the corresponding end of the slider 23 of the first sliding ring 20b-1 connected thereto. The hook 24 of the sliding ring 20b connected to the fixed ring 20a can hook the corresponding end of the groove 25, that is, the end close to the sliding ring 20b. Figure 4-Figure 6 .

[0056] When the wire rope 40 drives the sliding rings 20b to push the clothes in sequence, the end of the hook 24 of the first sliding ring 20b-1 abuts against the corresponding end of the slider 23 of the adjacent first sliding ring 20b-1, that is, the end of the slider 23 away from the hook 24, and the end of the hook 24 of the second sliding ring 20b-2 abuts against the corresponding end of the slider 23 of the adjacent second sliding ring 20b-2. The hook 24 of the sliding ring 20b connected to the fixed ring 20a can abut against the corresponding end of the groove 25, that is, the end away from the sliding ring 20b. Figure 7-Figure 9 .

[0057] When the clothes are collected one by one, the slider 23 of the first first sliding hanging ring 20b-1 is in contact with the slider 23 of the first second sliding hanging ring 20b-2. The length of the slider 23 of the first second sliding hanging ring 20b-2 can be different from that of the other second sliding hanging rings 20b-2. By changing the length of the slider 23 of the first second sliding hanging ring 20b-2, the distance between the two adjacent hanging parts 22 in the sliding hanging ring group 20b can be adjusted. Figure 10 .

[0058] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the first track 11 can form a stopper 15, preventing the loop assembly 20 from shifting or detaching from the second track 12 during sliding. The bottom wall of the second track 12 is provided with a plurality of ribs 16 extending along its length. The loop assembly 20 slides in engagement with these ribs 16, which have an arc-shaped cross-section. This structure converts surface friction during sliding of the loop assembly 20 into linear friction, reducing friction and wear.

[0059] The present invention configures the sliding portion 21 of the sliding hanging ring 20b to have a slider 23 and a hook 24, wherein the length of the hook 24 can control the spacing between adjacent hanging portions 22 when clothes are hung. Furthermore, by configuring each sliding hanging ring 20b to have a different hook 24 length, different clothes can be hung at different spacings when aired, and the spacing control is flexible.

[0060] In addition, the present invention controls the distance between the two adjacent hanging parts 22 in the sliding hanging ring 20b when collecting clothes by only changing the length of the slider 23 of the first second sliding hanging ring 20b-2, and assists in controlling the distance between the hanging part 22 of the fixed hanging ring 20a and the hanging part 22 of the adjacent movable hanging ring 20b when collecting clothes by changing the length of the groove 25 of the fixed hanging ring 20a, thereby achieving positioning.

[0061] In actual application, the distance between two adjacent hanging parts 22 of the sliding hanging ring 20 can be adjusted by changing the length of the slider 23 and the hook 24 of the first sliding hanging ring 20b-1 and the other second sliding hanging ring 20b-2 as needed.

[0062] The present invention uses a hanging ring group 20 as the main transmission component, which is small in width and thin in thickness, can reduce the space occupied, and the overall design can be more compact and exquisite. Among them, the sliding hanging ring adopts the form of left and right hooks 24 to ensure that clothes can be collected and discharged, and there will be no interference during the movement. The sliding hanging ring 20b is a rigid structural member, which can ensure stable and reliable movement and smooth operation. It can effectively avoid the undesirable conditions such as entanglement and knotting that may occur during the movement of flexible structural members such as ropes during the transmission process. In addition, there is a certain order in the process of collecting and discharging clothes, that is, the sliding hanging ring 20b at the end always pulls the sliding hanging ring 20b behind it to move in sequence from near to far.

[0063] See also Figure 12 The present invention also proposes a clothes drying machine for automatic collection and discharge of clothes, including a clothes drying rack, which is provided with two automatic clothes collecting and discharging devices and two connecting rods 17. The two automatic clothes collecting and discharging devices are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, one connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the two automatic clothes collecting and discharging devices, and the other connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the other end of the two automatic clothes collecting and discharging devices.

[0064] The automatic clothes collecting and discharging device and clothes drying machine of the present invention may be provided with a control device connected to the driving member 30, for controlling the operation of the driving member 30 according to received control commands, including clothes discharging commands or clothes collecting commands, etc. The specific working principle is as follows:

[0065] When receiving the clothes discharge command, the control driving member 30 drives the driving wheel 50 to rotate forward, and the wire rope 40 pulls the first first sliding hanging ring 20b-1 connected thereto, and the first first sliding hanging ring 20b-1 is pulled apart from the adjacent first second sliding hanging ring 20b-2, and the end of the hook 24 hooks and pulls the first second sliding hanging ring 20b-2, connecting it to the other first sliding hanging ring 20b-1. Pull open, and pull open in sequence until the ends of the hooks 24 of all the first sliding rings 20b-1 hook the corresponding ends of the sliders 23 of the second sliding rings 20b-2 connected to them, and the ends of the hooks 24 of all the second sliding rings 20b-2 hook the corresponding ends of the sliders 23 of the first sliding rings 20b-1 connected to them, and the hooks 24 of the sliding rings 20b connected to the fixed ring 20a can hook the corresponding ends of the grooves 25, so that the spacing between each sliding ring 20b is widened, and the spacing between the fixed ring 20a and the adjacent sliding ring 20b is also widened, so that clothes can be discharged.

[0066] When the clothes collection command is received, the control driving member 30 drives the active wheel 50 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the steel wire rope 40 pulls the first first sliding hanging ring 20b-1 connected thereto, and the slider 23 of the first first sliding hanging ring 20b-1 moves toward the slider 23 of the first second sliding hanging ring 20b-2 adjacent thereto. When the slider 23 of the first first sliding hanging ring 20b-1 abuts against the slider of the first second sliding hanging ring 20b-2, the distance between the two hanging parts is determined by the length of the slider 23 of the first second sliding hanging ring 20b-2. Then, the first second slider 23 is pushed to move. When the hook 24 of the first sliding hanging ring 20b-1 abuts against the slider 23 of the adjacent other first sliding hanging ring 20b-1, the first sliding hanging ring 20b-1 can be pushed to move. When the hook 24 of the second sliding hanging ring 20b-2 abuts against the slider 23 of the adjacent other second sliding hanging ring 20b-2, the second sliding hanging ring 20b-2 can be pushed to move. Push in this way in sequence until the ends of the hooks 24 of all the first sliding rings 20b-1 abut against the corresponding ends of the sliders 23 of the adjacent first sliding rings 20b-1, and the ends of the hooks 24 of the second sliding rings 20b-2 abut against the corresponding ends of the sliders 23 of the adjacent second sliding rings 20b-2, and the hooks 24 of the sliding rings 20b connected to the fixed ring 20a can abut against the corresponding ends of the grooves 25, that is, one end away from the sliding ring 20b, thereby shortening the gaps between the sliding rings 20b to a minimum, and the distance between the fixed ring 20a and the adjacent sliding rings 20b is also shortened to a minimum, thereby achieving clothing collection.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] See also Figure 12 、 Figure 13 , an automatic clothes collecting and discharging device and clothes drying machine, whose main structure is the same as that of embodiment 1, except that: a drying mechanism 70 and two lifting frames 80 are further provided, and the two lifting frames 80 are connected between the drying mechanism 70 and the clothes drying rack.

[0069] The drying mechanism 70 may include a housing, a fan, a heating assembly, and a negative ion generator. The housing is provided with an air outlet, the heating assembly and the fan are installed in the housing, the heating assembly is located at the air inlet end of the fan, and the negative ion generator is installed on the air outlet and located at the air outlet end of the fan.

[0070] The drying mechanism 70 of the present invention, its fan and negative ion generator can blow out cold air with negative ions, which have the effect of refreshing the air and can remove the odor of clothes after being hung out to dry. If the heating component is also turned on, hot air with negative ions can be blown out.

[0071] Two rods 18 can be connected between the two sleeves 10 of the clothes drying rack, and the corresponding lifting frame 80 is connected through the two rods 18. The lifting frame 80 includes a roller 81, a pull cord 82, a telescopic frame 83, an elastic member 84, a mounting seat 85, a sliding seat 86, and a rotary drive member. The mounting seat 85 is fixed to the drying mechanism 70 via a pin 88 and has a through hole 87. The sliding seat 86 is lifted and lowered through the through hole 87 of the mounting seat 85 and can also pass through the pin 88. The elastic member 84 is connected between the sliding seat 86 and the drying mechanism 70. The telescopic frame 83 is connected between the drying mechanism 70 and the clothes drying rack and can adopt a shear frame structure. The roller 81 is rotatably mounted within the sliding seat 86 and has a roller. The pull cord 82 has one end fixedly wound around the roller 81 and the other end fixed relative to the clothes drying rack. The pull cord 82 can also pass through the telescopic frame 83.

[0072] The rotary drive element, connected to the drive roller, rotates to raise or lower the clothes drying rack. When the clothes drying rack is raised, the rotary drive element drives the roller to rotate forward, causing the pull cord 82 to pull up the clothes drying rack and retracting the telescopic rack 83. When the clothes drying rack is lowered, the rotary drive element drives the roller to rotate backward, causing the pull cord 82 to lower the clothes drying rack and extend the telescopic rack 83. An upper limit switch may also be provided on the drying mechanism 70 to detect whether the clothes drying rack has reached its upper limit during its ascent.

[0073] The working principle of the clothes drying machine of this embodiment is as follows:

[0074] When receiving the automatic clothes discharge command, it first detects whether the clothes drying rack is at the upper limit position. If so, the automatic clothes collecting and discharging device is controlled to automatically discharge the clothes. If not, the clothes drying rack is controlled to rise first, and then the automatic clothes collecting and discharging device is controlled to automatically discharge the clothes.

[0075] When receiving the automatic clothes collection command, it first detects whether the clothes drying rack is at the upper limit position. If so, it controls the automatic clothes collection and discharge device to automatically collect the clothes. If not, it first controls the clothes drying rack to rise, and then controls the automatic clothes collection and discharge device to automatically collect the clothes.

[0076] When receiving the command to lower the clothes rack, it first checks whether the clothes rack is at the upper limit position. If so, it controls the automatic clothes collecting and discharging device to automatically collect clothes, and then controls the clothes rack to lower. If not, it directly controls the clothes rack to lower.

[0077] When receiving the command to raise the clothes rack, it first checks whether the clothes rack is at the upper limit. If so, the automatic clothes collecting and discharging device is controlled to automatically discharge clothes. If not, the clothes rack is first controlled to descend, and then the automatic clothes collecting and discharging device is controlled to automatically discharge clothes.

[0078] The present invention can also realize the one-key clothing arranging and one-key clothing collecting functions, as follows:

[0079] See also Figure 14When a one-button clothes discharge command is received, it is first detected whether the clothes drying rack is at the upper limit position. If so, the automatic clothes collecting and discharging device is controlled to automatically discharge clothes. After the automatic clothes discharge is completed, the deodorizing and drying function of the drying mechanism 70 is turned on. If not, after rising to the upper limit position, the automatic clothes discharge is completed first, and then the deodorizing and drying function of the drying mechanism 70 is turned on.

[0080] See also Figure 15 When a one-touch clothes collection command is received, the system checks whether the clothes drying rack is at the upper limit position. If so, the drying mechanism 70 is first deodorized and dried, the automatic clothes collection and discharge device is then controlled to automatically collect the clothes, and finally the clothes drying rack is lowered to the lower limit position. If not, the system first raises the clothes drying rack to the upper limit position, then controls the automatic clothes collection and discharge device to automatically collect the clothes, and finally lowers the clothes drying rack to the lower limit position after the automatic collection is completed.

[0081] The above is only a specific implementation of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited to this. Any non-substantial changes to the present invention using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
