Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention specifically relates to a convenient-to-open drying device, belonging to the technical field of drying equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Clothes drying racks are devices mainly used for drying washed clothes and other items. Existing drying racks are typically installed on the ceiling of balconies. However, many modern homes lack open balconies; for example, hospital wards often have high bay windows. These buildings usually enclose the bay windows with horizontally installed windows, wasting the open space. Fixing clotheslines to horizontally installed windows can make better use of this space. However, during use, clothes tend to stick together in the wind, affecting drying efficiency. Also, opening horizontal windows requires pulling one end upwards, and the weight of tempered glass makes it difficult for users with less strength, resulting in inconvenience and drawbacks.
[0003] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient drying device to solve the above-mentioned problems. It has the advantages of adjusting the distance between clothes and preventing clothes on the same drying rod from sticking together, which effectively improves the drying effect of clothes. At the same time, it can effectively assist in opening the rotating frame, solving the problem that it is difficult to pull the rotating frame with transparent tempered glass upwards.
[0005] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a conveniently openable drying device, comprising an indoor floor, an exterior window, a ventilated louver, and an L-shaped snap-fit mounting bracket. The L-shaped snap-fit mounting bracket is snapped onto the interior bay window wall, with one end fixed to the indoor floor and the other end fixed to the exterior window and the ventilated louver. The top side of the L-shaped snap-fit mounting bracket has a mounting hole groove. One end of the mounting hole groove is rotatably mounted to a rotating frame via a rotating shaft. The rotating frame is fixedly mounted with a transparent tempered glass and a horizontal mounting block. The horizontal mounting block has a limiting groove, in which a reverse-push distance adjustment component is installed. The reverse-push distance adjustment component is mounted with a drying rod, and a limiting stop is fixedly sleeved on the drying rod.
[0006] The L-shaped snap-fit mounting bracket has a downward pressure drive assembly with steering function installed on its inner wall at one end. One end of the downward pressure drive assembly with steering function is engaged in a vertical slot opened on the L-shaped snap-fit mounting bracket. The other end of the downward pressure drive assembly with steering function is connected to the arc-shaped rack block fixedly installed at one end of the rotating frame through the power transmission assembly. The L-shaped snap-fit mounting bracket has a self-locking limiting assembly installed on it. One end of the self-locking limiting assembly is inserted into a positioning pin hole opened on the arc-shaped rack block. The self-locking limiting assembly is used to fix the arc-shaped rack block.
[0007] Furthermore, in order to drive the bidirectional reverse-tooth screw to rotate in the limiting slide groove via the rotating seat by controlling the micro servo motor to turn on, the reverse-push distance adjustment component includes a micro servo motor and a bidirectional reverse-tooth screw. The micro servo motor is fixed on the inner wall of one end of the limiting slide groove, and the bidirectional reverse-tooth screw is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the other end of the limiting slide groove via the rotating seat. One end of the bidirectional reverse-tooth screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the micro servo motor.
[0008] Furthermore, in order to enable the two threaded sliders to slide in opposite directions when the bidirectional reverse thread screw rotates, thereby adjusting the distance between the drying rods through the Z-shaped connecting rod, the bidirectional reverse thread screw is equipped with the threaded sliders, which are slidably engaged in the limiting groove. There are two threaded sliders, each located at the opposite thread end of the bidirectional reverse thread screw. The drying rods are rotatably mounted on the threaded sliders through the Z-shaped connecting rod.
[0009] Furthermore, in order to enable the connecting gear to rotate when the steering adjustment gear rotates, the downward drive assembly with steering function includes a first mounting base, a second mounting base, and a vertical slide rod. The connecting gear and the steering adjustment gear are rotatably mounted on the first mounting base and the second mounting base respectively via the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod. One end of the steering adjustment gear is meshed with the connecting gear.
[0010] Furthermore, in order to allow the connecting slider to slide downwards on the vertical slide rod by pressing down the pedal, thereby driving the vertical rack block to move downwards via the drag frame and thus driving the steering adjustment gear to rotate, the vertical slide rod is fixed in the vertical slot, and the connecting slider is slidably sleeved on the vertical slide rod. The pedal is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting slider, and the drag frame is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting slider. The vertical rack block is fixedly installed at one end of the drag frame, and the vertical rack block is meshed with the other end of the steering adjustment gear.
[0011] Furthermore, in order to enable the drive gear to rotate and drive the arc-shaped rack block to make circular motion, thereby driving the rotating frame to rotate and open, the power transmission assembly consists of a third mounting base and a drive gear. The drive gear is rotatably mounted on the third mounting base through the third rotating rod, and the drive gear is meshed with the arc-shaped rack block.
[0012] Furthermore, in order to enable the first rotating rod to rotate and drive the third rotating rod to rotate via the synchronous belt, the third rotating rod is connected to the first rotating rod via the synchronous belt.
[0013] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the positioning pin is fixedly inserted into the positioning pin hole by means of the self-locking spring, and that the positioning pin can be pulled out of the positioning pin control by controlling the lifting handle, the self-locking limiting component includes a positioning pin. The positioning pin is slidably mounted on the L-shaped fastening mounting bracket. One end of the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning pin hole, and the other end of the positioning pin is fixedly mounted with the lifting handle. The annular pad is fixedly sleeved on the positioning pin, and the annular pad is elastically connected to the L-shaped fastening mounting bracket by means of the self-locking spring.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: the distance between drying rods can be adjusted by the reverse push-type distance adjustment component, and the distance between clothes can be adjusted. At the same time, under the action of the limiting block, clothes on the same drying rod can be prevented from sticking together, which effectively improves the drying effect of clothes.
[0015] By stepping on the downward-pressing drive component with steering function, the rotating frame can be driven to rotate on the L-shaped fastening mounting bracket via the arc-shaped rack block, making it easy to open the rotating frame. This provides effective assistance in opening the rotating frame and solves the problem of the difficulty in pulling the rotating frame with transparent tempered glass upward, thus effectively improving the user experience.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-7As shown, a conveniently openable clothes drying device includes an indoor floor 1, an exterior window 2, a ventilation louver 3, and an L-shaped fastening mounting bracket 4. The L-shaped fastening mounting bracket 4 is fastened to the interior bay window wall 5, with one end fixed to the indoor floor 1 and the other end fixed to the exterior window 2 and the ventilation louver 3. The top side of the L-shaped fastening mounting bracket 4 has a mounting slot. A rotating frame 7 is rotatably mounted at one end of the mounting slot via a rotating shaft 6. A transparent tempered glass 8 and a horizontal mounting block 9 are fixedly mounted on the rotating frame 7. A limit groove is provided on the horizontal mounting block 9, and a reverse-push distance adjustment component 10 is installed in the limit groove. A clothes drying rod 11 is mounted on the reverse-push distance adjustment component 10, and a limit stop 12 is fixedly sleeved on the clothes drying rod 11. By controlling the reverse-push distance adjustment component 10, the distance between the clothes drying rods 11 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the clothes and preventing the clothes from being too close together. The system improves the drying effect and, with the help of the limiting block 12, limits the clothing on the same drying rod 11 to prevent them from sticking together and affecting the drying effect. A downward-pressing drive assembly 13 with a steering function is installed on the inner wall of one end of the L-shaped fastening mounting bracket 4. One end of the downward-pressing drive assembly 13 is engaged in a vertical slot on the L-shaped fastening mounting bracket 4, and the other end is connected to an arc-shaped rack block 15 fixedly installed on one end of the rotating frame 7 via a power transmission assembly 14. A self-locking limiting assembly 16 is installed on the L-shaped fastening mounting bracket 4. One end of the self-locking limiting assembly 16 is inserted into a positioning pin hole on the arc-shaped rack block 15. The self-locking limiting assembly 16 is used to fix the arc-shaped rack block 15. In use, stepping on the downward-pressing drive assembly causes the arc-shaped rack block 15 to rotate circumferentially via the power transmission assembly 14, thereby causing the rotating frame 7 to rotate in the mounting hole slot via the rotating shaft 6.
[0026] The reverse-push distance adjustment assembly 10 includes a micro servo motor 1001 and a bidirectional reverse-threaded lead screw 1002. The micro servo motor 1001 is fixed on the inner wall of one end of the limiting slide groove, and the bidirectional reverse-threaded lead screw 1002 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the other end of the limiting slide groove via a rotating seat 1003. One end of the bidirectional reverse-threaded lead screw 1002 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the micro servo motor 1001. A threaded slider 1004 is mounted on the bidirectional reverse-threaded lead screw 1002, and the threaded slider 1004 is slidably engaged in the limiting slide groove. In this configuration, there are two threaded sliders 1004, which are located at the reverse thread ends of the bidirectional reverse thread screw 1002. The drying rod 11 is rotatably mounted on the threaded sliders 1004 via a Z-shaped connecting rod 1005. The micro servo motor 1001 is turned on, causing the bidirectional reverse thread screw 1002 to rotate in the limiting groove, which in turn drives the two threaded sliders 1004 to slide in opposite directions in the limiting groove. The distance between the drying rods 11 is adjusted via the Z-shaped connecting rod 1005.
[0027] The downward pressure drive assembly 13 with steering function includes a first mounting base 1301, a second mounting base 1302, and a vertical slide rod 1303. The first mounting base 1301 and the second mounting base 1302 are rotatably mounted with a connecting gear 1306 and a steering adjustment gear 1307 respectively via a first rotating rod 1304 and a second rotating rod 1305. One end of the steering adjustment gear 1307 is meshed with the connecting gear 1306. The vertical slide rod 1303 is fixed in a vertical slot, and a connecting slider 1308 is slidably sleeved on the vertical slide rod 1303. A foot pedal 130 is fixedly mounted on one end of the connecting slider 1308. 9. A drag frame 1310 is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting slider 1308. A vertical rack block 1311 is fixedly installed at one end of the drag frame 1310. The vertical rack block 1311 is meshed with the other end of the steering adjustment gear 1307. When in use, stepping on the pedal 1309 causes the connecting slider 1308 to slide downward on the vertical slide bar 1303. The drag frame 1310 drives the vertical rack block 1311 to move downward, which drives the steering adjustment gear 1307 to rotate, so as to drive the connecting gear 1306 to rotate, and the connecting gear 1306 rotates in the opposite direction to the steering adjustment gear 1307.
[0028] The power transmission assembly 14 consists of a third mounting base 1401 and a drive gear 1402. The drive gear 1402 is rotatably mounted on the third mounting base 1401 via a third rotating rod 1403, and the drive gear 1402 is meshed with the arc-shaped rack block 15. The third rotating rod 1403 is connected to the first rotating rod 1304 via a synchronous belt 1404. When the connecting gear 1306 rotates, it drives the first rotating rod 1304 to rotate. The synchronous belt 1404 causes the third rotating rod 1403 to rotate, so as to drive the drive gear 1402 to rotate.
[0029] The self-locking limiting assembly 16 includes a positioning pin 1601, which is slidably mounted on the L-shaped fastening mounting bracket 4. One end of the positioning pin 1601 is inserted into the positioning pin hole, and the other end of the positioning pin 1601 is fixedly mounted with a lifting handle 1602. An annular pad 1603 is fixedly sleeved on the positioning pin 1601. The annular pad 1603 is elastically connected to the L-shaped fastening mounting bracket 4 through a self-locking spring 1604. Under the action of the self-locking spring 1604, the positioning pin 1601 is fixedly inserted into the positioning pin hole. At the same time, pulling the lifting handle 1602 moves one end of the positioning pin 1601 out of the positioning pin hole.
[0030] In use, the L-shaped snap-fit mounting bracket 4 is first fixed to the indoor bay window wall 5. When clothes need to be dried, the foot presses down on the drive component, which, under the action of the power transmission component 14, drives the arc-shaped rack block 15 to make a circular motion. The arc-shaped rack block 15 is coaxial with the rotating shaft 6, so that the rotating frame 7 can rotate in the mounting hole groove through the rotating shaft 6. This makes it easy to open the rotating frame 7 and the transparent tempered glass 8, so that the drying rod 11 can be exposed for hanging clothes. At the same time, by controlling the reverse push distance adjustment component, the distance between the drying rods 11 can be adjusted, thereby improving the clothes drying effect.
