Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle interior and exterior design technology, specifically to a clothesline assembly for a vehicle and the vehicle itself. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing development of high-end features in automobiles, cars are no longer limited to transportation. More and more vehicles are being used for outdoor purposes such as living and traveling. However, when drying clothes outdoors, it is usually necessary to carry an extra clothesline. In terms of related technologies, although some models have clotheslines, they cannot be retracted, which takes up interior space and is not aesthetically pleasing. Summary of the Invention

[0042] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. 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.

[0043] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. Additionally, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0044] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 A clothesline assembly 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0045] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a clothesline assembly 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a mounting plate 10, a clothesline assembly 20, and a drive component 30.

[0046] Mounting plate 10 is located within the passenger space of vehicle 1000, and mounting plate 10 is provided with storage slot 11. Clothes drying rod assembly 20 is movably installed in storage slot 11. Clothes drying rod assembly 20 includes a slider 21 and a clothes drying rod 22. Sliding slider 21 is slidably installed on mounting plate 10. The output end of drive member 30 is connected to slider 21. Clothes drying rod 22 is rotatably installed on slider 21. Clothes drying rod 22 has a first state of being stored in storage slot 11 and a second state of being extended out of storage slot 11. Sliding slider 21 is provided with stop 211. Drive member 30 is adapted to drive sliding slider 21 relative to mounting plate 10 so that stop 211 pushes clothes drying rod 22 to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0047] Therefore, the clothes drying rod 22 is set in the storage slot 11 of the mounting plate 10. At the same time, under the drive of the drive component 30, the sliding component 21 will slide relative to the mounting plate 10 and the sliding component 21 will abut against the clothes drying rod 22 through the stop block 211, thereby driving the clothes drying rod 22 to switch between the first state and the second state. In this way, the clothes drying rod 22 can switch between the two states of being stored in the storage slot 11 and extending out of the storage slot 11. This makes it convenient for users to use the clothes drying rod 22 to hang clothes when it is in the second state, or to store the clothes drying rod 22 in the storage slot 11 when it is in the first state, thereby reducing its occupation of the vehicle interior space.

[0048] It is worth noting that the drive component 30 can be an electric drive structure, which allows the clothes drying rod assembly 100 to operate the clothes drying rod 22 electrically. Alternatively, the drive component 30 can be a manual drive structure, which allows the clothes drying rod assembly 100 to operate the clothes drying rod 22 manually. This increases the ease of use of the clothes drying rod 22 and ensures that the clothes drying rod 22 can be opened or closed at any time in the event of a power outage.

[0049] For example, the mounting plate 10 can be set on the top of the vehicle 1000, for example, the mounting plate 10 is constructed as a canopy 12, or the mounting plate 10 can be set on the side panel, which is advantageous because the mounting plate 10 is constructed as an inner door panel. That is, the actual setting position of the clothes drying rod assembly 20 can be flexibly selected according to the user's needs, and is not limited here.

[0050] The clothes drying rod 22 is installed in the storage slot 11 of the mounting plate 10. At the same time, the output end of the drive component 30 will cooperate with the sliding component 21 of the clothes drying rod 22. When the drive component 30 drives the sliding component 21 to slide relative to the mounting plate 10, the stop block 211 on the sliding component 21 can abut against the clothes drying rod 22, thereby driving the clothes drying rod 22 to rotate relative to the sliding component 21, so that the clothes drying rod 22 can switch between the first state and the second state.

[0051] When the clothes drying rod 22 is in the second state, the clothes drying rod 22 extends out of the storage slot 11. At this time, the user can hang clothes on the clothes drying rod 22 for drying, thus meeting the user's need to hang clothes.

[0052] It should be noted that in related technologies, the structure used for drying clothes on vehicles is usually a point structure, which means that users can only hang a single piece of clothing. This means that the drying structure can only meet the needs of temporary use and cannot dry multiple pieces of clothing. However, the clothes drying rod 22 in this application is a longer rod structure, which allows the clothes drying rod 22 to hang multiple pieces of clothing, thus making the clothes drying rod 22 in this application more practical.

[0053] When the clothes drying rod 22 is in the first state, it is stored in the storage slot 11, which reduces the space occupied by the clothes drying rod 22 in the vehicle, thereby making the interior space of the vehicle 1000 larger and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the driving member 30 drives the sliding member 21 to slide relative to the mounting plate 10, the stop block 211 can push the clothes drying rod 22 to switch between a first state and a second state, so as to realize the rapid extension or retraction of the clothes drying rod 22. This allows the clothes drying rod 22 to extend from the storage slot 11 of the mounting plate 10 only when it is needed, and to be hidden in the storage slot 11 when it is not needed, thereby reducing the space occupied by the clothes drying rod 22 in the vehicle interior. Moreover, the switching process of the clothes drying rod 22 between different states is more stable, which helps to improve the working stability of the clothes drying rod assembly 100.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the stop 211 includes a first stop 212 and a second stop 213. In the sliding direction of the slider 21, the first stop 212 and the second stop 213 are located on both sides of the slider 21, and the first stop 212 or the second stop 213 is adapted to abut against the clothes drying rod 22 so that the clothes drying rod 22 switches between a first state and a second state.

[0056] Thus, the first stop 212 and the second stop 213 are located on both sides of the slider 21. When the slider 21 slides relative to the mounting plate 10, the first stop 212 or the second stop 213 can abut against the clothes drying rod 22 and drive the clothes drying rod 22 to rotate, thereby allowing the clothes drying rod 22 to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0057] For example, the first stop 212, the second stop 213 and the end of the clothes drying rod 22 are located on the same horizontal line. When the sliding member 21 slides relative to the mounting plate 10, the first stop 212 or the second stop 213 can abut against the clothes drying rod 22. After the first stop 212 or the second stop 213 abuts against the clothes drying rod 22, when the sliding member 21 continues to slide, the first stop 212 or the second stop 213 will apply a pushing force to the clothes drying rod 22, thereby changing the state of the clothes drying rod 22. In this way, the clothes drying rod 22 can switch between the first state and the second state under the action of the sliding member 21.

[0058] For example, when the first stop 212 is in contact with the first stop, the clothes drying rod 22 switches from the first state to the second state. In this way, the clothes drying rod 22 can extend out of the storage slot 11 under the action of the sliding member 21, so that the user can dry clothes.

[0059] When the second stop 211 abuts, the clothes drying rod 22 switches from the second state to the first state. Under the action of the sliding member 21, the clothes drying rod 22 can be stored in the storage slot 11. This way, when the clothes drying rod 22 is not in use, it can be hidden in the storage slot 11, thereby reducing the space occupied in the vehicle and improving the aesthetics of the interior of the vehicle 1000.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the clothes drying rod 22 includes a connecting part 221 and a body part 222. The connecting part 221 is bent and connected to the body part 222, and the connecting part 221 is provided with a first pressing surface and a second pressing surface corresponding to the first stop 212 and the second stop 213.

[0061] Therefore, the connecting part 221 of the clothes drying rod 22 is used to abut against the first stop 212 and the second stop 213, while the main body 222 is used to hang clothes. The first abutting surface and the second abutting surface on the connecting part 221 can make the first stop 212 and the second stop 213 more stable when they abut against the connecting part 221. At the same time, it can also make it easier for the first stop 212 and the second stop 213 to push the connecting part 221. In addition, the connecting part 221 and the main body 222 are bent and connected, which can make the clothes drying rod 22 occupy less space, thereby enabling the clothes drying rod assembly 100 to achieve a miniaturized design, and thus making the clothes drying rod assembly 100 occupy less interior space in the vehicle.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7As shown, the sliding member 21 is constructed as a rack, and the output end of the driving member 30 is fixedly fitted with an output gear 31, with the rack meshing with the output gear 31.

[0063] Thus, the sliding member 21, which is constructed as a rack, will mesh with the output gear 31, and the output gear 31 is fixed at the output end of the drive member 30. When the output end of the drive member 30 rotates, the output gear 31 can drive the rack to move. The rack movement can cause the stops 211 at both ends of the rack to abut against the clothes drying rod 22. In this way, the output gear 31 can drive the rack to move and drive the clothes drying rod 22 to switch its own state, so that the clothes drying rod 22 can switch between the first state and the second state.

[0064] At the same time, this kind of cooperation makes the connection between the output end of the drive component 30 and the sliding component 21 more stable, and the movement control of the clothes drying rod 22 can be realized by controlling the movement of the gear and rack, making the movement of the clothes drying rod 22 easier to control and more stable, which helps to improve its movement stability.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the clothesline assembly 100 for vehicles also includes: a mounting bracket 40, which is installed in the storage slot 11, and a rack is slidably installed on the mounting bracket 40.

[0066] Therefore, by setting a mounting bracket 40 in the storage slot 11, the rack can be slidably mounted on the mounting bracket 40. For example, the mounting bracket 40 is provided with a slide rail parallel to the sliding direction of the rack, and the rack slides in cooperation with the two slide rails. This makes the rack slide more smoothly and helps to ensure the sliding stability of the rack.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 40 is provided with a clearance opening 41, and at least a portion of the output gear 31 passes through the clearance opening 41 to mesh with the rack.

[0068] Therefore, by providing a clearance opening 41 on the mounting bracket 40, at least a portion of the output gear 31 will pass through the clearance opening 41 so as to mesh with the rack and drive the rack. This simplifies the structure of the drive member 30 and the sliding member 21, making the clothes drying rack assembly 100 smaller and thus occupying less space in the vehicle 1000.

[0069] For example, the mounting bracket 40 has a groove on the part of the rack that is opposite to the teeth, and the clearance opening 41 is opened on the groove. This way, at least part of the output gear 31 passes through the clearance opening 41 and has enough space to mesh with the rack. This makes it easier for the output gear 31 to drive the rack. At the same time, the groove can provide room for the rack teeth to move, so that the rack has enough sliding space after it is installed in the mounting bracket 40.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the clothesline assembly 100 for a vehicle also includes a limiting component 50, which is connected between the mounting bracket 40 and the clothesline 22, and is adapted to limit the clothesline 22 in a first state or a second state.

[0071] Therefore, by setting the limiting component 50, the clothes drying rod 22 can be kept in the first state or the second state, thereby enhancing the stability of the clothes drying rod 22 in the first state and the second state, and making the driving component 30 not need to drive the sliding component 21 continuously. That is, the driving component 30 will only operate when the state of the clothes drying rod 22 needs to be switched, thereby reducing the working time of the driving component 30 and improving the service life of the clothes drying rod assembly 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the limiting assembly 50 includes a first limiting rod 51, a second limiting rod 52, and an elastic member 53. The first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52 are rotatably mounted on the sliding member 21 and the mounting bracket 40, respectively, and the elastic member 53 is connected between the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52.

[0073] Therefore, the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52 are respectively disposed on the sliding member 21 and the mounting bracket 40, and an elastic member 53 is provided between the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52. When the sliding member 21 drives the clothes drying rod 22 to move, the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52 will rotate together, and the distance between the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52 will change, thereby changing the elastic force of the elastic member 53 to achieve the limiting.

[0074] For example, the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52 can be constructed as a "T"-shaped connector. The horizontal bar of the T-shaped connector is connected to the sliding member 21 and the mounting bracket 40. The first limiting member and the second limiting member can rotate around the horizontal bar as the pivot. At the same time, when the elastic member 53 is placed between the first limiting member and the second limiting member, it is connected to the vertical bar of the T-shaped connector. In this way, the elastic force generated by the elastic member 53 will also change after the distance between the first limiting member and the second limiting member changes, so that the limiting component 50 can limit the clothes drying rod 22.

[0075] Furthermore, the first limiting rod 51 is rotatably disposed on the sliding member 21, and the second limiting member is rotatably disposed on the mounting bracket 40. In this way, the first limiting rod 51 will move together with the sliding member 21, while the position of the second limiting member will not change. During the movement of the first limiting rod 51 with the sliding member 21, the distance between the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52 will change. This will change the direction and magnitude of the elastic force generated by the elastic member 53, thereby limiting the clothes drying rod 22 by the limiting assembly 50.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the clothes drying rod 22 is rotatably connected to the sliding member 21 via a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is constructed as a first limiting rod 51.

[0077] Therefore, the clothes drying rod 22 is connected to the sliding member 21 through the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is constructed as the first limiting rod 51. In this way, when the clothes drying rod 22 moves together with the sliding member 21, the first limiting rod 51 will also move together with the clothes drying rod 22. At the same time, when the elastic member 53 applies an elastic force to the first limiting member, it will also apply an elastic force to the clothes drying rod 22 to achieve the limiting.

[0078] The second limiting member is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 40. When the first limiting member moves with the clothes drying rod 22, the second limiting member will only rotate on the mounting bracket 40. This will change the distance between the first and second limiting members, so that the elastic member 53 will apply elastic force to the clothes drying rod 22 to achieve the limiting.

[0079] In some embodiments, the elastic element 53 is constructed as a spring, with its two ends respectively sleeved on the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52.

[0080] This makes the design of the elastic element 53 simpler, reduces design costs, and the spring-shaped elastic element 53 is more suitable for situations where the distance between the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52 gradually changes.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, in the first state, the axial direction of the spring is at 45° to the sliding direction of the slider 21, and / or in the second state, the axial direction of the spring is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the slider 21.

[0082] Therefore, in the first state, the component force generated by the spring is opposite to the direction of movement of the slider 21, thus ensuring that the clothes drying rod 22 can remain in the first state. In the second state, the elastic force generated by the spring can make the slider 21 stick tightly to the mounting bracket 40, thus making it difficult to slide. This ensures that the clothes drying rod 22 can remain in the second state.

[0083] For example, in the first state, the axis of the spring is at 45° to the sliding direction of the slider 21. The elastic force generated by the spring will produce a component force acting on the clothes drying rod 22. The direction of the component force on the clothes drying rod 22 is parallel to the sliding direction of the slider 21, and the direction of the elastic force is opposite to the sliding direction of the slider 21. Thus, the slider 21 is not easy to slide and the clothes drying rod 22 is in the first state, that is, the clothes drying rod 22 is stored in the storage groove 11. In the second state, the axis of the spring is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the slider 21. Thus, the elastic force generated by the spring is also perpendicular to the sliding direction of the slider 21. The elastic force will be collinear with the connecting part 221 of the clothes drying rod 22. Thus, the slider 21 is tightly attached to the mounting bracket 40 under the action of the elastic force, making it not easy to slide. This keeps the clothes drying rod 22 in the second state, that is, the clothes drying rod 22 extends out of the storage groove 11. In this way, the spring can keep the clothes drying rod 22 in either the first or second state.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, in the first state, the distance between the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52 is the first distance, and in the second state, the distance between the first limiting rod 51 and the second limiting rod 52 is the second distance, which is less than the first distance.

[0085] Therefore, the second distance being smaller than the first distance allows the clothes drying rod 22 to be subjected to a stronger elastic force generated by the elastic element 53 when it is extended out of the storage groove 11, thereby making the clothes drying rod 22 more stable when it is extended out of the storage groove 11. This strengthens the load-bearing capacity of the clothes drying rod 22, allowing it to hang more clothes.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the clothesline assembly 100 for vehicles also includes a damping structure 60, to which the clothesline 22 is connected.

[0087] Therefore, the damping structure 60 is connected to the clothes drying rod 22, so that the damping structure 60 can buffer the movement of the clothes drying rod 22, making the speed of the clothes drying rod 22 tend to be uniform, and making the rotation of the clothes drying rod 22 more stable.

[0088] For example, the damping structure 60 is constructed as a gear damper, and the size of the driving gear connected to the clothes drying rod 22 is smaller than the size of the driven gear. In this way, when the clothes drying rod 22 moves, the driving gear will drive the driven gear to rotate. When the two gears rotate, they will generate friction and act on the clothes drying rod 22. At the same time, when the clothes drying rod 22 moves with the sliding member 21, the elastic force generated by the elastic member 53 of the limiting component 50 is constantly changing. The friction generated by the gear damper cancels out part of the elastic force, so that the force on the clothes drying rod 22 remains unchanged, thus enabling the clothes drying rod 22 to maintain a uniform speed when rotating.

[0089] Of course, the damping structure 60 can also be constructed as other structures that can ensure the smooth rotation of the clothes drying rod 22, and no limitation is made here.

[0090] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a clothes drying rack assembly 100 for a vehicle includes a clothes drying rack assembly 20 disposed in a storage groove 11 of a mounting plate 10. A driving member 30 is also disposed in the storage groove 11. The driving member 30 drives a sliding member 21, thereby switching the clothes drying rack 22 between a first state and a second state. When the clothes drying rack 22 is in the first state, the axial direction of the limiting member is at a 45° angle to the sliding direction of the sliding member 21. This creates a mechanical dead point under the action of the elastic member 53 in the limiting member, ensuring that the clothes drying rack 22 remains in the first state. In this state, the clothes drying rod 22 will not fall out of the storage slot 11 when it is hidden in the storage slot 11, thus making the clothes drying rod 22 occupy less space in the vehicle and making the interior space more aesthetically pleasing. When the clothes drying rod 22 is in the second state, the axis of the limiting member will be perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding member 21, which will also form a mechanical dead point to ensure that the clothes drying rod 22 can always stay in the second state. At the same time, by forming a mechanical dead point, the driving member 30 will only operate when the clothes drying rod 22 needs to switch states, which can improve the service life of the clothes drying rod assembly 100.

[0091] The present invention also proposes a vehicle 1000.

[0092] like Figure 9 As shown, a vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a clothesline assembly 100 for a vehicle according to any of the above embodiments.

[0093] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a mounting plate 10 is disposed on the top of the vehicle 1000, and a clothes drying rod 22 and a driving member 30 are both disposed in the storage groove 11 of the mounting plate 10. The clothes drying rod 22 is movably connected to the mounting plate 10, and the sliding member 21 of the clothes drying rod 22 can slide relative to the mounting plate 10, thereby causing the stop block 211 to drive the clothes drying rod 22 to extend out of the storage groove 11 or be stored in the storage groove 11. At the same time, a driving member 30 is also provided on the mounting plate 10. The driving member 30 can drive the sliding member 21 to slide, thereby causing the clothes drying rod 22 to extend out of the storage groove 11 or be stored in the storage groove 11. The clothes drying rod 22 can also be opened manually. A limiting component 50 is provided between the mounting bracket 40 and the clothes drying rod 22 to limit the clothes drying rod 22, thereby allowing the clothes drying rod 22 to be maintained in a first state or a second state.

[0094] In some embodiments, the vehicle 1000 further includes a roof 12, wherein the mounting plate 10 is configured as a roof 12.

[0095] Therefore, the mounting plate 10 is constructed as a roof 12, which can save interior space and thus make the interior space larger.

[0096] In this way, the clothes drying rod 22 can be extended or retracted from the storage slot 11 of the roof 12, and after the clothes drying rod 22 is retracted, the clothes drying rod 22 will not occupy the driving and riding space in the vehicle.

[0097] In other embodiments, the mounting plate 10 may also be constructed as a side panel of the vehicle 1000, or a door panel, or a structure inside the trunk, without limitation. The mounting plate 10 can be constructed in various forms to facilitate the installation of the clothes drying rod 22.
