[0046] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present invention, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the accompanying description are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the present invention to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an existing clothes drying machine. Figure 1In the related art, clothes drying machines include a main housing frame 101, a motor, a fork-scissor mechanism 102, an auxiliary machine, and a clothes drying rod 103. The motor and fork-scissor mechanism 102 are mounted on the main housing frame 101, which is then hoisted from a suitable location such as a wall, floor, or ceiling. Installing the main housing frame 101 requires not only climbing high but also using tools such as an electric drill, making installation of existing clothes drying machines cumbersome and difficult. Furthermore, the presence of the fork-scissor mechanism 102 and the large space it occupies make existing clothes drying machines complex and bulky.

[0048] In light of this, the clothes drying rack provided in embodiments of the present invention incorporates a drive and a cable reel within the rack body. A cord is wound around the reel, with one end of the cord extending through the rack body. The rack body is used to hang clothing and other items. Users simply install the cord end extending through the rack body on a suitable mounting surface, such as a wall, floor, or ceiling. Compared to existing clothes drying racks, this rack has the advantages of a simpler structure, easier installation, and a compact size.

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0050] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a clothes drying machine provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the clothes drying machine provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a rod body 1, a cable reel 2, a rope 7, and a driver 3. The rod body 1 has an internal storage space. The cable reel 2 is rotatably disposed within the storage space. The rope 7 is wound around the cable reel 2. The first end of the rope 7 is fixed to the cable reel 2, and the second end of the rope 7 extends through the rod body 1 and is attached to an object. The driver 3 is mounted within the storage space and is used to drive the cable reel 2 to rotate.

[0051] Specifically, the rod body 1 can be a hollow cylinder 211 or a prism 211. The rod body 1 can include two bottom walls and a side wall disposed between the two bottom walls. The two bottom walls and the side walls can enclose a closed accommodation space to prevent dust or water from entering the rod body 1. It should be noted that to facilitate the installation of the aforementioned cable reel 2 and driver 3 within the rod body 1, the bottom wall at one end of the rod body 1 is detachably connected to the side wall of the rod body 1.

[0052] The driver 3 and the cable reel 2 are mounted within the pole body 1 and connected via a rotating shaft 31. The driver 3 rotates the rotating shaft 31, thereby causing the cable reel 2 to rotate in response to the rotation of the rotating shaft 31. The cable reel 2 can rotate in a first direction, reeling the rope 7 wound around the cable reel 2 to raise the pole body 1. The cable reel 2 can rotate in a second direction, releasing the rope 7 wound around the cable reel 2 to lower the pole body 1. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0053] In addition, the rope 7 can be made of a material with good tensile strength such as steel wire. The second end of the rope 7 can pass through the rod body 1 and can be installed on a wall, floor, ceiling or portable installation. Figure 2 As shown, a hook 71 or a hookable object is provided to facilitate hooking the second end of the rope 7 to the mounting location. Of course, the second end of the rope 7 can also be mounted by driving a fastener 6 into the mounting location. The fastener 6 can be a screw, bolt, or the like. The first end of the rope 7 can be secured to the cable reel 2 by welding, bonding, crimping, hooking, or the like. It should be noted that because the driver 3, cable reel 2, etc. are disposed within the rod body 1, the first end of the rope 7 is relatively heavy, and the tension at all locations of the rope 7 can be maintained consistent, ensuring that the rope 7 is always taut.

[0054] In summary, the clothes drying machine provided by the present invention arranges the driver 3 and the cable reel 2 in the rod body 1, and winds the rope 7 around the cable reel 2, and the second end of the rope 7 passes through the rod body 1 and is installed at a wall, floor, ceiling or portable object or other installable place, so that when the user installs the clothes drying machine, he only needs to fix the second end of the rope 7 to the installable place, thereby avoiding the existing electric clothes drying machine that installs the motor and the reel on the object through the main box fixing frame, which is convenient for the user to install, maintain and disassemble the clothes drying machine.

[0055] There are several possible ways to install the driver 3 in the rod body 1:

[0056] Figure 3 A three-dimensional diagram of a clothes drying machine provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 for Figure 3 A partial longitudinal sectional view of a clothes drying machine is shown. Figure 5 for Figure 3 An exploded view of a portion of a clothes drying machine is shown. Figure 3-Figure 5 In one possible implementation, an elastic expansion sleeve 4 fixed to the driver 3 is provided in the rod body 1, and the expansion sleeve 4 is tightly fitted with the rod body 1 to make the surface of the rod body 1 smooth.

[0057] Specifically, the expansion sleeve 4 can be annular and elastically deformable both inwardly and outwardly. After the expansion sleeve 4 is installed within the rod body 1, the outer periphery of the expansion sleeve 4 is subjected to pressure from the inner wall of the rod body 1, causing the expansion sleeve 4 to elastically deform inwardly. This elastic deformation forces the inner wall of the rod body 1 outwardly, forcing the expansion sleeve 4 against the inner wall of the rod body 1. By increasing the pressure between the expansion sleeve 4 and the inner wall of the rod body 1, the friction between the expansion sleeve 4 and the inner wall of the rod body 1 is increased, thereby securing the expansion sleeve 4 relative to the rod body 1. Furthermore, since the interior space of the rod body 1 is relatively small, during installation, the driver 3 and the expansion sleeve 4 can be secured first, and then the expansion sleeve 4 and driver 3 can be placed within the rod body 1 together.

[0058] refer to Figure 5 To increase the force exerted by the expansion sleeve 4 on the inner wall of the rod body 1 after the expansion sleeve 4 is installed inside the rod body 1, a threaded hole can be provided in the middle of the expansion sleeve 4, with a notch 411 extending through the wall of the threaded hole. A fixing member 5 can be provided inside the threaded hole. This fixing member 5 can be threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the expansion sleeve 4, thereby supporting the expansion sleeve 4 inside the expansion sleeve 4 and thereby tightening the expansion sleeve 4 against the inner wall of the rod body 1.

[0059] Specifically, the expansion sleeve 4 may include an annular cylindrical body 41. The inner wall of the cylindrical body 41 may be internally threaded to form the threaded hole mentioned above. The side wall of the cylindrical body 41 corresponding to the internal thread serves as the wall of the threaded hole. The side wall of the cylindrical body 41 is provided with the aforementioned notch 411. Notch 411 can penetrate the side wall of the cylindrical body 41 along its thickness.

[0060] Continue as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer side of the fixing member 5 is provided with an external thread, which can be threadedly connected to the internal thread of the barrel 41. During the process of the fixing member 5 passing into the barrel 41 and being threadedly locked with the barrel 41, the diameter of the barrel 41 gradually expands elastically due to the outward expansion effect of the notch 411, so that the outer wall of the barrel 41 can be tightly pressed against the inner wall of the rod body 1.

[0061] Before the fixing member 5 is mounted on the expansion sleeve 4, the expansion sleeve 4 can slide within the rod body 1 after the user applies force to it. A stopper protrusion can be provided within the rod body 1. The stopper protrusion can abut against the end face of the driver 3 facing away from the expansion sleeve 4 to limit the displacement of the driver 3 and the expansion sleeve 4 within the rod.

[0062] In addition, it should be noted that if the user finds that the rod body 1 is too long and cannot be placed in the reserved space during use, the user can cut off the excess rod body 1 and then place the expansion sleeve 4 and the driver 3 into the cut rod body 1.

[0063] If Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the fixing member 5 is inserted into the cylindrical body 41 of the expansion sleeve 4 from the left side. Both the left end of the cylindrical body 41 and the right end of the fixing member 5 may be provided with matching inclined surfaces to guide the fixing member 5 as it enters the cylindrical body 41. Furthermore, the notch 411 may extend axially along the cylindrical body 41, that is, along the axial direction of the threaded hole or the insertion direction of the fixing member 5. To facilitate the smooth increase in the diameter of the cylindrical body 41 during the insertion of the fixing member 5 into the expansion sleeve 4, the left end of the notch 411 may extend to the left end face of the cylindrical body 41, and the right end of the notch 411 may extend to the right end of the internal thread. To ensure that the rest of the cylindrical body 41 remains integral, a certain distance is provided between the right end of the notch 411 and the right end face of the cylindrical body 41.

[0064] In addition, there may be one or more notches 411. When there are multiple notches 411, the multiple notches 411 may be evenly distributed on the wall of the threaded hole, that is, the multiple notches 411 may be evenly distributed on the side wall of the cylinder 41 so that the diameter of each part of the side wall of the cylinder 41 can be uniformly varied.

[0065] Continue to refer Figure 4 and Figure 5 One end of the fixing member 5 may be provided with a mounting hole 51 for a tool to pass through, so that the fixing member 5 can be screwed into the outer expansion sleeve 4 using a tool. The mounting hole 51 can be provided at one end of the fixing member 5 away from the internal thread of the cylinder 41.

[0066] In order to facilitate the installation of the expansion sleeve 4 and the driver 3, the expansion sleeve 4 may further include a mounting plate 42 disposed inside the cylinder 41. The mounting plate 42 abuts against the end surface of the driver 3 and is firmly connected to the driver 3.

[0067] Specifically, when installing the expansion sleeve 4 and driver 3, the end face of the driver 3 is first brought into contact with the mounting plate 42. Fasteners 6 are then threaded through the mounting plate 42 and connected to the driver 3. Furthermore, the outer periphery of the mounting plate 42 is connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 41. A mounting space for the fixing member 5 is formed between the mounting plate 42 and the sidewall of the cylinder 41. As the fixing member 5 is screwed from left to right into the expansion sleeve 4, once the right end face of the fixing member 5 contacts the mounting plate 42, the fixing member 5 will no longer move rightward. In other words, the mounting plate 42 constrains the position of the fixing member 5.

[0068] In addition, the mounting plate 42 can be set in the middle of the cylinder 41, the cylinder 41 located on the first side of the mounting plate 42 can be connected to the fixing member 5, and the cylinder 41 located on the second side of the mounting plate 42 can be set between the driver 3 and the rod body 1.

[0069] Specifically, the mounting plate 42 is disposed in the middle of the side wall of the cylinder 41. Figure 4 and Figure 5 On the left side of the middle mounting plate 42, the mounting plate 42 and the sidewall of the cylinder 41 located to the left of the mounting plate 42 can together form the aforementioned installation space. This installation space is used to accommodate the fixing member 5. The sidewall of the cylinder 41 located to the left of the mounting plate 42 can be provided with internal threads, and the right end of the notch 411 can be located to the left of the mounting plate 42.

[0070] The second side of the mounting plate 42 is Figure 4 and Figure 5 On the right side of the middle mounting plate 42, the side wall of the cylinder 41 on the right side of the mounting plate 42 is sleeved on the outside of the driver 3 to prevent wear between the driver 3 and the inner wall of the rod body 1. In addition, the side wall of the cylinder 41 on the right side of the mounting plate 42 can also limit the position of the driver 3 to prevent the driver 3 from shaking inside the rod body 1 during the movement of the rod body 1.

[0071] Figure 6 for Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the driver 3, the expansion sleeve 4 and the rod body 1 after assembly is shown. Figure 4-Figure 6 A rotating shaft 31 is provided on the end face of the driver 3 that abuts the mounting plate 42, and when the rotating shaft 31 extends axially toward the external expansion sleeve 4, a through hole can be provided in the middle of the mounting plate 42 and the middle of the fixing member 5 for the rotating shaft 31 to pass through.

[0072] Figure 7 for Figure 3 Schematic diagram showing the installation of the cord reel 2 of the clothes drying machine. Figure 4 and Figure 7 The cable reel 2 includes a cable winding portion 21 and a mounting portion 22. The mounting portion 22 has a central hole 221, into which the rotating shaft 31 of the driver 3 is embedded. The fasteners 6 are sequentially inserted through the mounting portion 22 and pressed against the rotating shaft 31 of the driver 3.

[0073] Specifically, the mounting portion 22 may be a cylinder 211 or a prism 211. A center hole 221 is provided in the middle of the mounting portion 22 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 31. The surface of the mounting portion 22 may be provided with a threaded hole, which is arranged along the radial direction of the center hole 221, and the center hole 221 is connected to the threaded hole. When installing the rotating shaft 31 and the mounting portion 22, fasteners 6 such as screws and bolts can be passed through the threaded hole of the mounting portion 22 and threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The rotating shaft 31 of the driver 3 is passed through the center hole 221. The fastener 6 passes through the threaded hole and extends into the center hole 221, and is tightly pressed against the outer wall of the rotating shaft 31 located in the center hole 221. In this way, the fixation between the rotating shaft 31 and the mounting portion 22 of the cable reel 2 is achieved.

[0074] In addition, the cable reel 2 may further include a cable winding portion 21 connected to the mounting portion 22. The cable winding portion 21 may include a column 211 around which a rope 7 is wound. In order to prevent the rope 7 from slipping out of the axial ends of the column 211, a limiting plate 212 may be provided at each axial end of the column 211. The projection of the column 211 on the limiting plate 212 is located inside the limiting plate 212. In order to ensure that the rope 7 wound on the column 211 can be evenly wound along the axial direction of the column 211, a limiting groove 213 may be provided on the outer surface of the column 211, and the rope 7 may be embedded in the limiting groove 213. The limiting groove 213 may be a plurality of annular grooves arranged along the axial direction of the column 211. The limiting groove 213 may also be a spiral groove extending along the axial direction of the column 211.

[0075] In order to facilitate the installation of the driver 3 and the cable reel 2, optionally, refer to Figure 4 The rod body 1 may include a first portion 11 and a second portion 12. The first portion 11 may be mounted outside the expansion sleeve 4 and the driver 3. The second portion 12 may oppose the first portion 11, forming a housing space between the first portion 11 and the second portion 12. The cable reel 2 is rotatably disposed within the second portion 12. The rotating shaft 31 of the driver 3 extends from the first portion 11 and is disposed within the second portion 12, thereby connecting to the cable reel 2.

[0076] Figure 8 for Figure 3 The second part 12 is shown as a schematic diagram when it is installed with the first part 11. Figure 4 and Figure 8 Specifically, the first portion 11 may be a hollow cylinder 211 or a prism 211. One end of the first portion 11 may be provided with an opening. Figure 4 and Figure 8 The example of the left end of the first part 11 being provided with an opening is shown. The second part 12 may also be a hollow cylinder 211 or a prism 211. One end of the second part 12 may also be provided with an opening. Figure 4 and Figure 8 An example is shown in which the right end of the second portion 12 is provided with an opening.

[0077] For example, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8 The right end of the second portion 12 can be connected to the left end of the first portion 11, so that the second portion 12 is connected to the first portion 11. It should be noted that the driver 3 is longer in the axial direction of the rod body 1. To facilitate installation, the first portion 11 provided with the driver 3 can be longer than the second portion 12 provided with the cable reel 2.

[0078] Furthermore, to facilitate installation of the driver 3, the aforementioned expansion sleeve 4 and fixing member 5 can be located at the open end of the first portion 11 of the rod body 1. The driver 3's rotating shaft 31 can sequentially pass through the mounting plate 42, the fixing member 5, and the open end, so that a portion of the rotating shaft 31 extends out of the open end and into the second portion 12, connecting with the cable reel 2 within the second portion 12. Furthermore, during installation of the driver 3 and the cable reel 2, the rotating shaft 31 of the driver 3 can be mounted first to the cable reel 2, followed by the second portion 12 to the first portion 11.

[0079] The open end of the second portion 12 can be sleeved outside the open end of the first portion 11. The second portion 12 can be threadedly connected to the first portion 11; or a mounting member 8 can be sleeved outside the second portion 12 where it is nested with the first portion 11, for connecting the first and second portions 11. The mounting member 8 can be a clamp, a ring with internal threads, or other component capable of providing a clamping force toward the inside of the second portion 12.

[0080] For example, the second portion 12 may be a cylinder 211 with one end open. Figure 4 and Figure 8 The outer side of the open end of the second portion 12 may be provided with an external thread. The second portion 12 may be elastically deformable toward the inner side and the outer side of the second portion 12. The mounting member 8 may be a circular ring. The inner wall of the mounting member 8 may be provided with an internal thread that is threadably connected to the external thread of the second portion 12.

[0081] The external threads of the second portion 12 may also be provided with a notch 121. As the mounting member 8 is positioned over the outer portion of the second portion 12 and threadedly engaged with it, the diameter of the second portion 12 gradually and elastically decreases due to the inward contraction of the notch 121, allowing the inner wall of the mounting member 8 to abut against the outer wall of the second portion 12. The nesting position of the first and second portions 11 and 12 may correspond to the nesting position of the rod body 1 and the expansion sleeve 4 mentioned above, so that when the mounting member 8 and the second portion 12 abut, the expansion sleeve 4 also abuts against the rod body 1. Furthermore, the outer wall of the mounting member 8 may be provided with a non-slip groove to facilitate user rotation of the mounting member 8. It should be noted that the design of the notch 121 on the second portion 12 can be similar to the design of the notch 411 on the expansion sleeve 4. This will not be further described here.

[0082] refer to Figure 2 Optionally, two drivers 3 and two reels 2 are provided, and the two drivers 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the rod body 1, each driver 3 is connected to a corresponding reel 2, and each reel 2 is provided with a rope 7. This allows the two axial ends of the rod body 1 to move synchronously during the lifting process.

[0083] It should be noted that Figure 4-Figure 8 What is shown is the situation when the driver 3 and the cable reel 2 are arranged at the left end of the rod body 1. For the arrangement of the driver 3 and the cable reel 2 on the right side of the rod body 1, please refer to the above and will not be repeated here.

[0084] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to ensure a longer distance between the two ropes 7 passing through the rod body 1, the two winding drums 2 can be respectively arranged outside the two drivers 3. That is, the winding drum 2 is arranged on the left side of the driver 3 at the left end, and the winding drum 2 is arranged on the right side of the driver 3 at the right end.

[0085] Optionally, the driver 3 may include a motor. The aforementioned rotating shaft 31 of the driver 3 may be the motor shaft of a motor; the rotating shaft 31 may also be connected to the motor shaft via a coupling. A speed reducer or the like may be provided between the motor shaft and the rotating shaft 31 to reduce or increase the speed of the motor output. The motor can rotate forward and reverse to achieve forward and reverse rotation of the cable reel 2, thereby achieving the raising and lowering of the rod body 1.

[0086] In addition, the clothes drying machine provided in this embodiment of the present invention is further provided with a first controller 91 electrically connected to the driver 3. The first controller 91 adjusts the speed and direction of the driver 3's motor according to user needs. When two drivers 3 are provided within the rod body 1, each driver 3 can be connected to the first controller 91 separately. The first controller 91 can adjust the speed of each motor by comparing the speed difference between the two motors, or the difference between each motor and a preset speed, to ensure that both ends of the rod body 1 remain at the same height.

[0087] The driver 3 can be electrically connected to an external power source via a data line, or as Figure 2 The rod body 1 shown is equipped with a battery 92, which powers the driver 3. When the driver 3 is electrically connected to an external power source, one end of a data cable can be passed through the rod body 1 and electrically connected to a socket on an electrical outlet. When the driver 3 is powered by the battery 92, a second controller 93 electrically connected to the battery 92 can be provided at one end of the rod body 1. The second controller 93 can issue an alarm to the user when the battery 92 is low. Furthermore, the second controller 93 can be electrically connected to an external power source, so that when the battery 92 is low, it can switch power from the external power source to the battery 92.

[0088] For example, refer to Figure 2-Figure 4 The rod body 1 further includes a panel 13 on which the second controller 93 is mounted. The second portion 12 may have an opening at one end away from the first portion 11. The panel 13 may be positioned over and seal the opening, thereby forming a receiving space between the panel 13 and the second portion 12. The second controller 93 may be disposed within the receiving space.

[0089] In another possible implementation of the installation of the driver 3 and the rod body 1 , a mounting seat is provided in the rod body 1 , the driver 3 and the cable reel 2 are both mounted on the mounting seat, and the mounting seat is firmly connected to the rod body 1 .

[0090] Specifically, during installation, the driver 3 and the cable reel 2 can be first mounted on the mounting base, and then the mounting base can be pushed into the rod body 1. The mounting base can have a threaded hole, and the rod body 1 can have a through hole opposite the threaded hole. The fastener 6 can pass through the through hole and be threadedly connected to the threaded hole.
