[0044] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the invention and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a flip-up clothes hanger in an embodiment of this application. The flip-up clothes hanger includes a support 10 and a hanger body 20, which are rotatably connected. Further reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 10 has a support position extending out of the hanger body 20, further referring to... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the bracket 10 has a storage position with a retractable hanger body 20; the bracket 10 has a bracket connecting part 11, and the hanger body 20 has a body connecting part 21; when the bracket 10 is in the support position, the flip hanger is fixed by the bracket connecting part 11; when the bracket 10 is in the storage position, the flip hanger is fixed by the body connecting part 21.

[0046] Specifically, the bracket 10 and the hanger body 20 are rotatably connected. The bracket 10 and the hanger body 20 can rotate relative to each other to a support position where the bracket 10 extends out of the hanger body 20, and to a storage position where the bracket 10 retracts into the hanger body 20. In the support position, the flip-up hanger is relatively large, suitable for use in the dryer mode of a dryer's wardrobe, and is used for hanging clothes. In the storage position, the flip-up hanger allows for compact storage.

[0047] In this embodiment of the flip-up clothes hanger, when the support 10 is in the supporting position, the support 10 extends out of the clothes hanger body 20, and the flip-up clothes hanger is relatively large in volume. This makes it suitable for use in the dryer mode of a large wardrobe within a dryer. The flip-up clothes hanger is fixed via the support connecting part 11. When the support 10 is in the storage position, the support 10 retracts into the clothes hanger body 20, and the flip-up clothes hanger is relatively small in volume. This makes it suitable for use in the folded storage state of a dryer. In this case, the flip-up clothes hanger is fixed via the body connecting part 21. When the flip-up clothes hanger of this embodiment is applied to a dryer, it can simultaneously achieve a large-capacity wardrobe and a small-capacity storage space; it also has the advantage of convenient installation. Moreover, the design of the support connecting part 11 and the body connecting part 21 allows the flip-up clothes hanger to be fixedly installed via these parts when the support 10 is in both the supporting and storage positions, expanding the user's usage environment and improving the user experience.

[0048] Furthermore, when the flip hanger is used in a dryer, when the bracket 10 is in the supporting position, the flip hanger is connected to the dryer's clothes rod through the bracket connecting part 11; when the bracket 10 is in the storage position, the flip hanger is connected to the dryer's clothes rod through the main body connecting part 21.

[0049] Optional, refer to Figure 5 As shown, when the bracket 10 is in the storage position, the bracket 10 and the hanger body 20 can be stacked.

[0050] Optional, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the bracket 10 is in the supported position, the bracket connecting part 11 is located on one side of the hanger body 20, and the body connecting part 21 is located on the opposite side of the hanger body 20. That is, when the flip hanger is in use, the bracket 10 switches between the supported position and the storage position. The flip hanger needs to be flipped for installation, which serves to prevent mistaken installation.

[0051] Optionally, the bracket connecting part 11 is the first mounting groove 12, and / or the main body connecting part 21 is the second mounting groove. When the bracket connecting part 11 and the main body connecting part 21 have the above structure, it is simple and convenient to fix the flip-up clothes hanger with the bracket connecting part 11 and the main body connecting part 21.

[0052] When the bracket connecting part 11 is the first mounting groove 12 and the main body connecting part 21 is the second mounting groove, when connecting the flip hanger to the clothes rod of the dryer, it is only necessary to put the first mounting groove 12 over the upper end of the clothes rod and put the second mounting groove over the upper end of the clothes rod. The operation is simple and convenient and the structure is stable.

[0053] Optionally, when the bracket 10 is in the supported position, the opening of the first mounting groove 12 is located on one side of the hanger body 20, and the opening of the second mounting groove is located on the opposite side of the hanger body 20.

[0054] Optional, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the outer surface of the first mounting groove 12 is provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 17, which can increase the structural stability of the first mounting groove 12.

[0055] Furthermore, the outer surface of the second mounting groove wall is also provided with multiple second reinforcing ribs, which can also increase the structural stability of the second mounting groove.

[0056] Optional, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the flip-up hanger also includes a rotating mechanism 30, which connects the support 10 and the hanger body 20, allowing the support 10 and the hanger body 20 to rotate relative to each other; further refer to Figure 6 As shown, the rotating mechanism 30 includes a rotating shaft 31 and a rotating shaft groove 32; one of the rotating shaft 31 and the rotating shaft groove 32 is connected to the bracket 10, and the other of the rotating shaft 31 and the rotating shaft groove 32 is connected to the hanger body 20; the rotating shaft 31 is adapted to be inserted into the rotating shaft groove 32 and rotate within the rotating shaft groove 32 so as to rotatably connect the bracket 10 and the hanger body 20.

[0057] Optional, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the axis of the rotating shaft 31 forms an angle with the first direction of the hanger body 20; when the bracket 10 is in the supporting position, the bracket 10 is arranged along the first direction; refer to Figure 1 and 5 As shown, the hanger body 20 has end hanger rods 24 at both ends in the first direction. When the support 10 is in the folded position, the support 10 and the end hanger rods 24 are stacked. The first direction refers to the length or width direction of the hanger body 20. Figure 6 As shown, the length direction is the direction of arrow L, and the width direction is the direction of arrow Y.

[0058] In a specific example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the first direction is the length direction of the hanger body 20. The bracket 10 is set along the length direction of the hanger body 20. When the bracket 10 is in the support position, the length of the flip hanger is increased, thereby increasing the volume of the flip hanger, so that the flip hanger is suitable for the dryer mode of the wardrobe of the dryer.

[0059] Optional, refer to Figure 10 As shown, one end of the bracket 10 is provided with a step 13, and the bottom wall 14 of the step is connected to one of the rotating shaft 31 and the rotating shaft groove 32; further refer to Figure 6As shown, the hanger body 20 is provided with a mounting part 22, and the surface of the mounting part 22 facing the hanger body 20 is connected to the other side of the pivot 31 and the pivot groove 32; when the bracket 10 is in the supported position, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the side wall 15 of the step contacts the side wall of the mounting part 22 to restrict the relative rotation of the bracket 10 and the clothes hanger body 20.

[0060] In this embodiment of the flip-up clothes hanger, the side wall 15 of the step contacts the side wall of the mounting part 22 to form a mating structure. (Refer to...) Figure 9 As shown, when clothes are hung on the hanger body 20, the hanger body 20 bears the weight G of the clothes and tends to move downwards. However, the support 10, fitted onto the clothes rod, restricts this movement. When the hanger body 20 tends to move downwards, because the movement of the support 10 is restricted, the side wall 15 of the step in the support 10 presses against the side wall of the mounting part 22, keeping the flip hanger in a tightened and stable state. Therefore, the structure where the side wall 15 of the step contacts the side wall of the mounting part 22 when the support 10 is in the supporting position solves the problem of instability that easily occurs when the flip hanger is under the weight of clothes.

[0061] Further reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the surface of the bottom wall 14 of the step is in contact with the surface of the mounting part 22 facing the clothes hanger body 20.

[0062] In one specific embodiment of this application, the bracket 10 is connected to the pivot 31, and the hanger body 20 is connected to the pivot groove 32. It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the connection method between the bracket 10 and the pivot 31, or the connection method between the hanger body 20 and the pivot groove 32. For example, the bracket 10 and the pivot 31 may be integrally formed components, and the hanger body 20 and the pivot groove 32 may be integrally formed components.

[0063] Optional, refer to Figures 11 to 14 As shown, the rotating shaft 31 has a variable cross-section structure and is provided with a contraction portion 33; the rotating shaft groove 32 is provided with at least one pair of constricted portions 34, and the two constricted portions 34 in any pair are connected one-to-one with the two opposite groove walls of the rotating shaft groove 32. There is a gap between the two constricted portions 34 in any pair, which partially blocks the groove opening of the rotating shaft groove 32; the contraction portion 33 is adapted to be inserted into the rotating shaft groove 32 through the gap. In the above structure, when the bracket 10 and the hanger body 20 are assembled, the gap between the two constricted portions 34 in any pair is only suitable for the contraction portion 33 of the rotating shaft 31 to pass through, as shown in the figure. Figure 20 As shown, the rotating shaft 31 can only be inserted into the rotating shaft groove 32 at a fixed position, thus preventing mistaken insertion. The variable cross-section structure of the rotating shaft 31 means that the cross-sectional area of ​​the rotating shaft 31 changes perpendicular to the axial direction.

[0064] Optionally, the contraction portion 33 has a flattened cuboid shape. Along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 31, two opposite sidewalls of the contraction portion 33 are parallel planes, forming a step with the sidewalls of the rotating shaft 31 other than the contraction portion 33. The other two opposite sidewalls of the contraction portion 33 are flush with the sidewalls of the rotating shaft 31 other than the contraction portion 33. In this structure, during the insertion of the rotating shaft 31 into the rotating shaft groove 32, the portion between the two opposite sidewalls of the contraction portion 33 can pass through the gap between the two constriction portions 34. After the rotating shaft 31 is inserted into the rotating shaft groove 32 and rotated, because the distance between the other two opposite sidewalls of the contraction portion 33 is greater than this gap, the rotating shaft 31 cannot be moved out of the rotating shaft groove 32. The rotating shaft groove 32 can limit the movement of the rotating shaft 31. The term "contraction section 33 has a flattened rectangular parallelepiped-like structure" means that the shape of the contraction section 33 resembles a flattened rectangular parallelepiped. Two opposite sidewalls of the contraction section 33 are parallel planes, while the other two opposite sidewalls are outwardly expanding arc surfaces. See [reference needed] for details. Figure 12 As shown.

[0065] In one specific embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 10 As shown, a section of the rotating shaft 31 can be simultaneously thinned on both the top and bottom to form a contraction section 33, creating a stepped structure. When the bracket 10 is assembled with the hanger body 20, due to the presence of the contraction section 33 and the closing section 34, the rotating shaft 31 needs to pass through... Figure 20 The shaft 31 is inserted into the pivot groove 32 at the indicated position, which prevents it from being mistakenly inserted. Furthermore, when the shaft 31 is inserted into the pivot groove 32 and rotates, the constriction part 34 can also prevent the contraction part 33 from moving out of the gap, thus limiting the position of the shaft 31.

[0066] In one specific embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 14 As shown, the shaft groove 32 is provided with a pair of constricted portions 34, and both of the constricted portions 34 are located at the opening of the shaft groove 32. Figure 14 In this embodiment, a pair of constricted portions 34 are located at one end of the extending direction of the rotating shaft groove 32. Of course, the pair of constricted portions 34 can also be located in the middle of the rotating shaft groove 32, etc. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0067] Optional, refer to Figure 14 As shown, the outer wall surface of the pivot groove 32 is provided with a plurality of third reinforcing ribs 35. The third reinforcing ribs 35 can increase the structural stability of the pivot groove 32, thereby improving the service life of the flip hanger.

[0068] Optional, refer to Figures 15 to 19As shown, the flip hanger also includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion 16 and a snap-fit ​​groove 27. The hanger body 20 is provided with a storage position 26 and a limiting side wall 23. The limiting side wall 23 is provided with one of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 16 and the snap-fit ​​groove 27. The side wall of the bracket 10 is provided with the other snap-fit ​​protrusion 16 and the snap-fit ​​groove 27. When the bracket 10 is in the storage position, the bracket 10 is located in the storage position 26 and the side wall of the bracket 10 faces the limiting side wall 23. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 16 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 27 to limit the bracket 10 and the hanger body 20, so as to prevent the bracket 10 from shaking or moving on its own when it is in the storage position.

[0069] Optionally, in the first direction, the hanger body 20 has end hanger rods 24 at both ends. The end hanger rods 24 bend towards the middle of the hanger body 20, and each end hanger rod 24 has a storage compartment 26. The side wall of the end hanger rod 24 near the middle of the hanger body 20 is a limiting side wall 23. Here, the first direction refers to the length or width direction of the hanger body 20. (Refer to...) Figure 15 As shown, it illustrates the structure and position of the end hanger rod 24 when the first direction is the length direction of the hanger body 20.

[0070] Specifically, the end hanger rod 24 bends towards the middle of the hanger body 20, which saves space and leaves room for installing other components.

[0071] In this embodiment of the flip hanger, when the bracket 10 is in the storage position, the bracket is connected to the end hanger rod 24, which can also increase the structural strength of the end hanger rod 24, making the flip hanger more stable.

[0072] In a specific example, refer to Figure 15 The first direction is the length direction of the hanger body 20. End hanger rods 24 are provided at both ends of the hanger body 20 along its length, and three middle hanger rods 25 are provided between the two end hanger rods 24. The three middle hanger rods 25 are used to increase the structural strength of the flip hanger and for hanging clothes, etc. It is understood that the number of middle hanger rods 25 is not specifically limited in this embodiment; for example, five middle hanger rods 25 may be provided, spaced apart along the length direction of the hanger body 20.

[0073] Optionally, the flip-up hanger includes four supports 10; the hanger body 20 has a flat rectangular frame structure, and the four corners of the hanger body 20 are connected to the four supports 10 in a one-to-one correspondence, with all four supports 10 extending along a first direction of the hanger body 20. The first direction is either the length or width direction of the hanger body 20.

[0074] The flip-up clothes hanger of this embodiment includes four supports 10 and one hanger body 20. The supports 10 and the hanger body 20 are rotatably connected by a pivot 31 and a pivot groove 32, which has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. Moreover, when the supports 10 are in the supporting position, they extend out of the hanger body 20, resulting in a relatively large flip-up clothes hanger, suitable for use in the dryer mode of a large wardrobe. When the supports 10 are in the storage position, they retract into the hanger body 20, resulting in a relatively small flip-up clothes hanger, suitable for the folded storage state of a dryer. When applied to a dryer, the flip-up clothes hanger of this embodiment can simultaneously achieve a large-capacity wardrobe and a small-capacity storage space; it also has the advantage of convenient installation. Furthermore, the support connecting part 11 and the body connecting part 21 ensure that the flip-up clothes hanger is fixed in both the supporting and storage positions, expanding the user's usage environment and improving the user experience.

[0075] This application embodiment also provides a clothes dryer, which includes a clothes rod and the aforementioned flip-up hanger. The upper end of the clothes rod is connected to the bracket connection part 11 or the main body connection part 21 of the flip-up hanger. The clothes dryer is equipped with a flip-up hanger, which allows the clothes dryer to simultaneously achieve a large-capacity wardrobe and a small-capacity storage space; it also has the advantage of convenient installation.
