[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0035] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described. Example
[0036] It should be noted that all electrical components in this application are controlled by an external controller, and the rotating shaft 707 in the drive assembly 7 and the rotating shaft 504 in the rotating assembly 5 are connected to the inner top wall of the clothes drying rack housing 3 through a movable mounting base. The length of the connecting plate 303 is greater than the combined length of the protective shell 8 and the clothes drying rack housing 3, which facilitates the storage of the support rod 3031.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7A clothes drying device that is easy to install includes a clothes drying rack housing 3. A clearance groove 304 is provided on the top of the clothes drying rack housing 3. A spiral telescopic crossbar 1 is provided in the clearance groove 304. The spiral telescopic crossbar 1 is installed in the clearance groove 304 via a connecting assembly 4. The side walls and bottom walls of the clearance groove 304 are provided with communicating moving grooves 301. Both ends of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 can be pressed against the side walls. Fixed plates 2 are provided at both ends of the moving rod 102. Both fixed plates 2 are connected to the side walls via adhesive surfaces 202. Moving rods 102 are provided inside both ends of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1. Rotating cylinders 101 are provided at both ends of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1. Both ends of the rotating cylinder 101 are movably connected to the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 via T-shaped sliders 1012. The inner walls of both rotating cylinders 101 are provided with internal threads 1011, and the outer walls of both moving rods 102 are provided with external threads 1021 that mesh with the internal threads 1011. The ends of both moving rods 102 are fixedly fitted with rubber pads 1023, and the end faces of both moving rods 102 are provided with slots 1022. The sides of both fixing plates 2 away from the bonding surface 202 are welded with inserts 201. Both inserts 201 are inserted into the slots 1022, and the end faces of both rubber pads 1023 are fitted onto the fixing plates 2 and in close contact with the wall.
[0038] When the user installs the drying device, first, glue the adhesive surface 202 of the fixing plate 2 to the wall. Then, pass the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 through the mounting cavity 301 of the clothes drying machine housing 3. Next, hold the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 and a rotating drum 101 with both hands respectively. Rotate the rotating drum 101 so that it pushes the moving rod 102 out of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 through the meshing relationship of the internal thread 1011 and the external thread 1021, until the rubber pad 1023 at the end of the moving rod 102 is fitted onto the outside of the fixing plate 2 and in close contact with the wall. Inserting the insert 201 into the slot 1022 locks the moving rod 102 and the fixing plate 2. Then, rotating another rotating cylinder 101 causes the other moving rod 102 to perform the same operation. The adhesion of the adhesive surface 202 and the friction of the rubber pad 1023 improve the fixing effect of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1. Then, the clearance groove 304 on the top of the clothes drying machine housing 3 is aligned with the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 and moved upward so that the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 is in the clearance groove 304. At this time, the clothes drying machine housing 3 and the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 are installed through the connecting assembly 4.
[0039] For examples, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The outer wall of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 is provided with mounting grooves 103 at the connecting assembly 4. The connecting assembly 4 includes a first connecting component provided in the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 and a second connecting component provided in the clearance groove 304. The first connecting component and the second connecting component are connected by magnetic and threaded means.
[0040] When the first connecting component and the second connecting component are connected by threads, for example: the second connecting component includes two bidirectional threaded rods 401 welded together in the moving groove 301. The ends of the two bidirectional threaded rods 401 away from the joint are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the moving groove 301. One end of one bidirectional threaded rod 401 passes through the clothes drying machine housing 3 and is fixedly connected to a handle 404. The first connecting component includes a mounting block 402 threaded on the bidirectional threaded rod 401. Each mounting block 402 has an arc plate 403 welded to its top. The arc surface of each arc plate 403 contacts the mounting groove 103 opened on the outer wall of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1.
[0041] When the first connecting component and the second connecting component are magnetically connected, the second connecting component includes a slide rod 4011 disposed in the moving groove 301. Both ends of the slide rod 4011 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the moving groove 301. The first connecting component includes a mounting block 402 slidably mounted on the slide rod 4011. Each mounting block 402 has an arc plate 403 welded to its top. The arc surface of each arc plate 403 is in contact with the mounting groove 103 opened on the outer wall of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1. Each mounting block 402 and the arc plate 403 have an electromagnet 405 embedded in their contacting end faces.
[0042] When the installation is carried out using a threaded connection, the user manually rotates the handle 404 located on the outside of the clothes drying rack housing 3. The rotation of the handle 404 causes the connected bidirectional threaded rod 401 to rotate. The rotating bidirectional threaded rod 401 causes the mounting blocks 402 located on the threads in different directions to move along the moving groove 301 toward the spiral telescopic crossbar 1. The moving mounting blocks 402 drive the arc plate 403 to move until the arc surface of the arc plate 403 contacts the mounting groove 103 opened on the outer wall of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1. The threads on the bidirectional threaded rod 401 lock the connection, thus completing the installation and fixing of the clothes drying rack housing 3 and the spiral telescopic crossbar 1.
[0043] When installed using a magnetic connection, the user energizes the electromagnet 405 via an external controller. The energized electromagnet 405 generates magnetic attraction, causing the curved plate 403 and the mounting block 402 to move. The moving mounting block 402 moves along the slide bar 4011 until the magnetic surfaces of the curved plate 403 and the mounting block 402 come into contact and are firmly attracted. At this point, the curved surface of the curved plate 403 is in close contact with the outer wall of the mounting groove 103, thus completing the installation and fixing of the clothes drying rack housing 3 and the spiral telescopic crossbar 1.
[0044] Both installation methods allow the top of the clothes drying rack housing 3 to fit snugly against the balcony wall, preventing dust accumulation and reducing overall space usage. The spiral telescopic crossbar 1 enables nail-free installation, and its magnetic or threaded connection to the clothes drying rack housing 3 further improves installation efficiency.
[0045] For examples, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A protective shell 8 is welded to the bottom of one side of the clothes drying rack housing 3. A lifting component 6 is provided inside the clothes drying rack housing 3. A drive component 7 is provided above the lifting component 6. A rotating component 5 is provided inside the protective shell 8. The drive end of the rotating component 5 extends through the protective shell 8 into the inside of the clothes drying rack housing 3. The drive component 7 is used to drive the lifting component 6 and the rotating component 5. A clothes rack 302 is provided at the bottom of the clothes drying rack housing 3. The clothes rack 302 is connected to the lifting component 6. A connecting plate 303 is provided on both sides of the protective shell 8. The actuating end of the rotating component 5 is connected to the two connecting plates 303. The ends of the two connecting plates 303 away from the protective shell 8 are fixedly connected by a support rod 3031.
[0046] The lifting assembly 6 includes a horizontal shaft 601 disposed inside the clothes drying rack housing 3. A driven wheel 604 is sleeved at the center of the horizontal shaft 601, and winding rollers 602 are installed at both ends of the horizontal shaft 601. The ends of the two winding rollers 602 away from the horizontal shaft 601 are rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the clothes drying rack housing 3, and pull ropes 603 are wound on the two winding rollers 602. The ends of the two pull ropes 603 pass through the clothes drying rack housing 3 and are connected to the clothes rack 302. The driven wheel 604 is fixedly sleeved on the horizontal shaft 601, and the upper part of the driven wheel 604 is engaged with the drive assembly 7. The two winding rollers 602 are welded to the ends of the horizontal shaft 601. The clothes rack 302 is fixedly connected to the pull ropes 603.
[0047] The rotating assembly 5 includes a connecting shaft 501 disposed inside the protective shell 8. A worm gear 502 is sleeved at the center of the connecting shaft 501. A worm 503 is meshed above the worm gear 502. One end of the worm 503 passes through the side wall of the protective shell 8 and the clothes drying machine shell 3 and is connected to a rotating shaft 504. A square locking groove 5041 is opened on the end face of the rotating shaft 504 away from the worm 503. The driving assembly 7 is located on one side of the locking groove 5041 and cooperates with it. Both ends of the connecting shaft 501 pass through the side wall of the protective shell 8 and are fixedly connected to two connecting plates 303. The part of the connecting shaft 501 that contacts the wall of the protective shell 8 is rotatably connected. The worm gear 502 is fixedly installed on the connecting shaft 501. One end of the worm 503 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 8, and the other end of the worm 503 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 504. The rotating shaft 504 is located above the lifting assembly 6.
[0048] Drive assembly 7 includes an electric telescopic rod 701. A mounting plate 702 is connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 701. A drive motor 706 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting plate 702 away from the electric telescopic rod 701. A rotating shaft 707 is connected to the output flange of the drive motor 706. Two drive wheels 708 are sequentially mounted on the rotating shaft 707. A driven wheel 604 in the lifting assembly 6 meshes with the drive wheels 708. A locking block 7071 is integrally provided at the end of the rotating shaft 707. The locking block 7071 is inserted into the locking groove 5041 in the rotating assembly 5. The upper surface of the mounting plate 702... A slider 703 is provided. A groove 705 is provided on one side of the inner top wall of the clothes drying rack housing 3. A guide rod 704 is provided in the groove 705. The slider 703 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 704. The electric telescopic rod 701 is located above the lifting assembly 6 and is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the clothes drying rack housing 3. The mounting plate 702 is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic rod 701. Two drive wheels 708 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 707, and the diameter of the two drive wheels 708 is smaller than the diameter of the driven wheel 604. The slider 703 is welded to the mounting plate 702. Both ends of the guide rod 704 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 705.
[0049] When clothes need to be dried, the user activates the drive component 7 via an external controller, causing the actuator of the drive component 7 to rotate and drive the lifting component 6 to work. The operation of the lifting component 6 allows the clothes rack 302 to be raised and lowered, making it convenient for the user to hang clothes for drying. When it is necessary to dry sheets, duvet covers, and quilts at the same time as drying clothes, the moving end in the drive component 7 pushes the actuator to move laterally, so that the drive component 7 can be connected to the lifting component 6 and the rotating component 5 respectively, and simultaneously drive the clothes rack 302, the connecting plate 303, and the support rod 3031 to unfold, so that the whole structure forms an inverted L shape, which makes it convenient to dry sheets, duvet covers, and quilts at the same time as drying clothes, improving usability and reducing space occupation.
[0050] When the lifting assembly 6 is working under the action of the drive assembly 7, the driven wheel 604 in the lifting assembly 6 rotates. The rotating driven wheel 604 drives the horizontal shaft 601 to rotate. The rotating horizontal shaft 601 drives the winding rollers 602 installed at both ends to rotate, so that the winding rollers 602 tighten or loosen the pull ropes 603 wrapped on its surface. The tightening or loosening of the pull ropes 603 drives the clothes rack 302 to rise and fall, which facilitates the drying of clothes.
[0051] When the support rod 3031 is unfolded, the drive assembly 7 drives the rotating shaft 504 in the rotating assembly 5 to rotate. The rotating shaft 504 drives the connected worm 503 to rotate. The worm 503 drives the meshing worm wheel 502 below to rotate. The worm wheel 502 drives the connecting plate 303 to rotate through the connecting shaft 501, so that the connecting plate 303 drives the support rod 3031 to move, thereby changing the connecting plate 303 from a horizontal position to a vertical position, making it convenient for the user to drape the sheet, duvet cover or quilt on the support rod 3031 to complete the drying operation.
[0052] When the electric telescopic rod 701 and the drive motor 706 in the drive assembly 7 are in the non-working and working states respectively, only the clothes rack 302 is unfolded. When the drive motor 706 is working, its output end drives the rotating shaft 707 to rotate. The rotating shaft 707 drives the two drive wheels 708 to rotate. At this time, only the drive wheel 708 away from the drive motor 706 engages with the driven wheel 604 in the lifting assembly 6, so that the clothes rack 302 is unfolded. The connecting plate 303 and the support rod 3031 are still in the retracted state. This state is suitable for drying clothes only.
[0053] When both the electric telescopic rod 701 and the drive motor 706 are working, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 701 pushes the mounting plate 702 to move. The movement of the mounting plate 702 simultaneously drives the slider 703 and the drive motor 706 to move. The slider 703 moves along the guide rod 704 in the slide groove 705, providing some support for the mounting plate 702. The movement of the drive motor 706 pushes the rotating shaft 707 to move, causing the driving wheel 708, which was originally engaged with the driven wheel 604, to move forward and disengage. The driving wheel 708 closer to the drive motor 706 then engages with the driving wheel 708. At this time, the locking block 7071 at the front end of the rotating shaft 707 is inserted into the locking groove 5041 at the end of the rotating shaft 504 in the rotating assembly 5 for locking. This allows the rotating shaft 707 to simultaneously drive the driven wheel 604 in the lifting assembly 6 and the rotating shaft 504 in the rotating assembly 5 when the drive motor 706 is working, thus completing the synchronous unfolding of the clothes rack 302 and the support rod 3031.
[0054] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the user installs the drying device, first, the adhesive surface 202 of the fixing plate 2 is glued and fixed to the wall. The spiral telescopic crossbar 1 is then passed through the mounting cavity 301 of the clothes drying machine housing 3. Then, the user holds the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 and a rotating drum 101 with both hands respectively. Rotating the rotating drum 101 causes it to push the moving rod 102 out of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 through the meshing relationship of the internal thread 1011 and the external thread 1021, until the rubber pad 1023 at the end of the moving rod 102 is fitted onto the outside of the fixing plate 2 and in close contact with the wall. At this time, the insert block 201 is inserted into the slot 1022, causing the moving rod 102 and the fixing plate 2 to lock together. Then, rotating the other rotating drum 101 causes the other moving rod 102 to perform the same operation, thereby utilizing the adhesiveness of the adhesive surface 202 and the... The friction of the rubber pad 1023 improves the fixing effect of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1. Then, the clearance groove 304 on the top of the clothes drying rack housing 3 is aligned with the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 and moved upward so that the spiral telescopic crossbar 1 is in the clearance groove 304. The user manually rotates the handle 404 located on the outside of the clothes drying rack housing 3. The rotation of the handle 404 drives the connected bidirectional threaded rod 401 to rotate. The rotating bidirectional threaded rod 401 causes the mounting blocks 402 located on the threads in different directions to move along the moving groove 301 to the spiral telescopic crossbar 1. The moving mounting blocks 402 drive the arc plate 403 to move until the arc surface of the arc plate 403 contacts the mounting groove 103 opened on the outer wall of the spiral telescopic crossbar 1. The threads on the bidirectional threaded rod 401 lock the connection, thus completing the installation and fixing of the clothes drying rack housing 3 and the spiral telescopic crossbar 1.
[0055] When clothes need to be dried, the user starts the drive assembly 7 through the external controller. When the drive motor 706 is working, its output end drives the rotating shaft 707 to rotate. The rotating shaft 707 drives the two drive wheels 708 to rotate. At this time, only the drive wheel 708 away from the drive motor 706 engages with the driven wheel 604 in the lifting assembly 6. The driven wheel 604 rotates, and the rotating driven wheel 604 drives the horizontal shaft 601 to rotate. The rotating horizontal shaft 601 drives the winding rollers 602 installed at both ends to rotate, so that the winding rollers 602 tighten or loosen the pull ropes 603 wrapped on their surface. The tightened or loosened pull ropes 603 drive the clothes rack 302 to rise and fall for drying clothes.
[0056] When sheets, duvet covers, or quilts need to be aired simultaneously, both the electric telescopic rod 701 and the drive motor 706 in the drive assembly 7 operate. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 701 pushes the mounting plate 702 to move. The movement of the mounting plate 702 simultaneously drives the slider 703 and the drive motor 706 to move. The slider 703 moves along the guide rod 704 in the slide groove 705, providing some support for the mounting plate 702. The movement of the drive motor 706 pushes the rotating shaft 707 to move, causing the driving wheel 708, which was originally engaged with the driven wheel 604, to move forward and disengage. The driving wheel 708 closer to the drive motor 706 then engages with the driving wheel 708. At this time, the locking block 7071 at the front end of the rotating shaft 707 inserts into the rotating assembly 5 and rotates. The shaft 707 can be locked in the locking groove 5041 at the end of the shaft 504. The rotating shaft 707 can simultaneously drive the driven wheel 604 in the lifting assembly 6 and the rotating shaft 504 in the rotating assembly 5 to work. The rotating shaft 504 rotates, which drives the connected worm 503 to rotate. The worm 503 drives the meshing worm wheel 502 below to rotate. The worm wheel 502 drives the connecting plate 303 to rotate through the connecting shaft 501, so that the connecting plate 303 drives the support rod 3031 to move, thereby changing the connecting plate 303 from a horizontal position to a vertical position, so that the user can drape the sheet, duvet cover or quilt onto the support rod 3031. At the same time, the rotating driven wheel 604 can unfold the clothes rack 302.
