[0055] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothes drying rack for drying and airing clothes. The clothes drying rack includes a main body 1 and a hanging rack 2 suspended below the main body 1. A winding assembly 7 is provided inside the main body 1, and a connecting wire 8 is wound around the winding assembly 7. The two ends of the connecting wire 8 are respectively connected to the two ends of the hanging rack 2. The hanging rack 2 is raised or lowered by releasing or winding the connecting wire 8 through the winding assembly 7. In this embodiment, the connecting wire 8 is a steel cable.

[0056] Furthermore, the winding assembly 7 includes a winding member 71 and a drive motor 72. The winding member 71 includes a winding housing and a winding roller rotatably disposed within the winding housing. The output end of the drive motor 72 extends into the winding housing and is connected to the winding roller. The drive motor 72 drives the winding roller to rotate in both directions to achieve winding or unwinding of the connecting line 8.

[0057] To ensure smooth raising and lowering of the hanger 2, telescopic frames 9 are connected to both ends of the hanger body 1. One end of the telescopic frame 9 is connected to the hanger body 1, and the other end is connected to the hanger 2. As the winding assembly 7 releases or winds up the connecting line 8, the telescopic frame 9 extends and retracts in the vertical direction.

[0058] To allow for separate drying of different quantities of clothing, the clothes rack body 1 is equipped with a first air duct that directs airflow towards the hanging rack 2. This first air duct can be selectively switched on and off. The clothes rack also includes an air outlet duct 3 and a drying bag 4. One end of the air outlet duct 3 is connected to the clothes rack body 1, and the other end is connected to the drying bag 4. The air outlet duct 3 serves as a second air duct, which is also configured to be selectively switched on and off. The selective switching of the first air duct allows for the drying of multiple items of clothing hanging on the hanging rack 2. The selective switching of the second air duct allows for the drying of only a small number of items of clothing by placing them in the drying bag 4, thus avoiding the low drying efficiency and resource waste caused by drying only a small number of items through the first air duct.

[0059] Specifically, the main body 1 of the clothes hanger includes a shell 11 and multiple drying modules 12. The hanging rack 2 is hung below the shell 11 via a telescopic frame 9. An air outlet 111 is provided on the side of the shell 11 facing the hanging rack 2. The multiple drying modules 12 are disposed inside the shell 11 and are connected to a first air duct. The first air duct includes an air outlet 111. To achieve individual control of the multiple drying modules 12, each drying module 12 corresponds to an air outlet 111. By controlling the opening and closing of the corresponding air outlet 111, the on / off control of the corresponding first air duct is achieved. Thus, the required drying module 12 can be selected for drying according to needs, providing flexible control. A ventilation opening 14 is provided on the shell 11, and the air outlet duct 3 is connected to the ventilation opening 14.

[0060] Furthermore, the drying module 12 includes a housing 121 and a fan 122 and a heating element 123 disposed within the housing 121. One side of the housing 121 has an opening, and this side faces the housing 11. The housing 121 encloses the fan 122 and the heating element 123 within the housing 11, with the fan 122 located to one side of the heating element 123. An air inlet is provided on the housing 11, connected to the fan 122 through the opening. The heating element 123 is connected to an air outlet 111. Air is introduced into the housing 121 of the drying module 12 by the fan 122, which then delivers the introduced air to the heating element 123. After being heated by the heating element 123, the air is discharged through the air outlet 111 to dry the clothes on the hanger 2.

[0061] In this embodiment, the blower 122 is a flow fan, which can deliver a large amount of air in a short time. The heating component 123 is a PTC heating strip, which has a high safety factor. The flow fan and the PTC heating strip work together to deliver a large amount of heat in a short time.

[0062] In order to control the opening and closing of the air outlet 111, the clothes hanger body 1 also includes a first on / off component. The first on / off component is configured to control the opening and closing of the air outlet 111, thereby selectively controlling the on / off of the first air duct, so as to select the drying method according to the needs.

[0063] Specifically, the first on / off component includes a cover plate 13, which is detachably connected to the air outlet 111 to close or open the air outlet 111, thereby realizing the on / off control of the first air duct. This structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0064] Preferably, each drying module 12 is connected to at least one air outlet duct 3 and one drying bag 4. The number of drying modules 12 connected to the air outlet duct 3 and drying bag 4 can be selected according to needs to facilitate drying clothes as required. One end of the air outlet duct 3 extends into the housing 11 through a vent 14 and selectively connects to the interior of the housing 11 of the drying module 12, thereby enabling on / off control of the second air duct. In this embodiment, two drying modules 12 are provided, spaced apart along the length of the housing 11. Each drying module 12 has an air inlet and an air outlet 111 at its bottom. Each drying module 12 has two vents 14, which are connected to the air outlet duct 3.

[0065] In order to control the opening and closing of the second air duct, the clothes hanger body 1 also includes a second on / off component 5, which is used to control the opening and closing of the second air duct so as to select the drying method according to the needs.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the second on / off assembly 5 includes a baffle plate 51 and a drive unit 52, which are disposed within the housing 11. The output end of the drive unit 52 is connected to the baffle plate 51. The baffle plate 51 is correspondingly positioned to the end of the air outlet duct 3 that extends into the housing 11. The drive unit 52 is configured to drive the baffle plate 51 to move or rotate, thereby blocking or opening the end of the air outlet duct 3 that extends into the housing 11, thus enabling on / off control of the second air duct. This second on / off assembly 5 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. In this embodiment, the drive unit 52 drives the baffle plate 51 to rotate. When the baffle plate 51 is in a vertical position, it blocks one end of the air outlet duct 3, thus isolating the second air duct. When the drive unit 52 drives the baffle plate 51 to a horizontal position, the air outlet duct 3 opens, thus opening the second air duct. In other embodiments, the structure of the second on / off assembly 5 is not limited to the above structure and can be in other ways, as long as it can achieve on / off control of the second air duct.

[0067] Optionally, the air outlet duct 3 can be detachably connected to the clothes hanger body 1 and the drying bag 4. When the second air duct is not used for drying, the air outlet duct 3 and the drying bag 4 can be detached to reduce the space occupied by the clothes rack and reduce the overall weight of the clothes rack.

[0068] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, magnetic structures 31 are provided at both ends of the air outlet duct 3. The magnetic structures 31 can be magnetically connected to the clothes hanger body 1 and the drying bag 4 to achieve quick installation of the air outlet duct 3 with the clothes hanger body 1 and the drying bag 4. In this embodiment, the magnetic attraction is a magnetic ring, which can magnetically engage with the mounting parts on the housing 11 and the drying bag 4.

[0069] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, a lighting module 15 is provided between the two drying modules 12 to provide lighting for the user.

[0070] Optionally, the clothes rack also includes a weighing component for weighing the clothes hanging on the rack 2, so as to determine the degree of drying of the clothes based on the weighing results.

[0071] Specifically, the weighing assembly includes weighing devices 61. Two weighing devices 61 are installed inside the main body of the clothes hanger 1, and one weighing device 61 is connected to each of the connecting lines 8 on both sides of the winding assembly 7. The weighing devices 61 can weigh the clothes hanging on the hanger 2, so as to determine whether the clothes are dry based on the weighing result. The above-mentioned weighing assembly has a simple structure and low cost.

[0072] Users can choose different drying methods for different scenarios: when drying quilts or a large amount of clothing, both drying modules 12 can be used; when drying a medium amount of clothing, users can choose to use only the left drying module 12 or the right drying module 12.

[0073] This structure features a separate drying bag 4. For small quantities of clothing (≤4 pieces), the clothes are placed in the drying bag 4, and hot air is directly delivered to the drying bag 4 via the air outlet duct 3 for precise drying, which greatly improves heat utilization and avoids resource waste.

[0074] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
