Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a clothes drying rack. Background Art

[0002] At present, when users use a double-pole clothes drying rack to dry clothes, when using the clothes drying pole away from the side where the user stands, the clothes are easily blocked by the clothes drying pole close to the side where the user stands. If the clothes drying pole is lowered to a height higher than the head for drying, the clothes need to be lifted above the head during the drying process, resulting in a high labor intensity in the drying process.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, in the existing technology, the double poles are split and raised or lowered separately. That is, after drying the clothes on the side away from the user, the clothes drying pole close to the user is lowered for drying. This avoids obstruction during the drying process and there is no need to lift the clothes above the head to dry.

[0004] However, the above splitting method splits the two originally parallel drying rods and controls them separately, but it is impossible to set a mother and baby rod, drying basket, etc. in the middle, which wastes the drying space between the two drying rods and affects the user experience.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0044] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0045] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "up" and "down" are generally used with respect to the directions shown in the drawings, or with respect to the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" are generally used with respect to the left and right shown in the drawings; "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0046] In order to solve the problem that the drying space of the clothes drying rack in the prior art cannot meet the needs of users, the present application provides a clothes drying rack.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 16 As shown, the clothes drying rack includes a mounting frame 10, a first clothes drying section 20, at least two second clothes drying sections 30, a first locking structure 40, and a second locking structure 50. The first clothes drying section 20 is movably arranged and includes multiple clothes drying rods 21. The second clothes drying sections 30 are liftable, each extending along the length of the mounting frame 10. The first locking structure 40 includes a first locking portion 41 and a second locking portion 42. The first locking structure 40 has a first locked state in which the first locking portion 41 and the second locking portion 42 cooperate to lock the first clothes drying section 20, and a first unlocked state in which the first locking portion 41 and the second locking portion 42 disengage to release the first clothes drying section 20. The second locking structure 50 is disposed on the second clothes drying section 30 and has a second locked state in which the first clothes drying section 20 is locked and a second unlocked state in which the first clothes drying section 20 is released. When the second locking structure 50 is in the second locked state, the second clothes drying section 30 can move the first clothes drying section 20 synchronously with the second clothes drying section 20. Among them, when the second clothes drying section 30 rises to contact the first locking section 41 and pushes the first locking section 41 to rise, the first locking structure 40 switches from the first locked state to the first unlocked state; when the second clothes drying section 30 descends to separate from the mounting frame 10, the second locking structure 50 can switch from the second unlocked state to the second locked state.

[0048] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, when a user uses the clothes drying rack, he or she can select the clothes drying section to be used according to usage requirements, specifically as follows: if the first locking structure 40 is in the first locking state, the first clothes drying section 20 is locked with the mounting frame 10, and the second clothes drying section 30 can be freely raised and lowered. At this time, only the second clothes drying section 30 can be used to dry clothes; if the first locking structure 40 is operated to switch from the first locking state to the first unlocking state, the first clothes drying section 20 is released, and the second locking structure 50 can be operated to be in the second locking state, so that the first clothes drying section 20 can be driven to rise and fall synchronously through the second clothes drying section 30. At this time, the first clothes drying section 20 and the second clothes drying section 30 can be used together to dry clothes, thereby increasing the drying space of the clothes drying rack, solving the problem that the drying space of the clothes drying rack in the prior art cannot meet the user's usage needs, and improving the user experience.

[0049] In this embodiment, there are two second clothes drying sections 30 , which are respectively located on both sides of the first clothes drying section 20 . The two second clothes drying sections 30 can be raised and lowered synchronously or separately.

[0050] It should be noted that the number of the second clothes drying sections 30 is not limited thereto and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, the number of the second clothes drying sections 30 is three, four, five, or more.

[0051] like Figure 2 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 10 and Figure 14 As shown, the first locking portion 41 is disposed on the mounting frame 10, which has a first through-hole. The second locking portion 42 includes a locking rod 421 and a first protrusion 422. The locking rod 421 is liftably disposed within the first through-hole to form a locking space around the first locking portion 41. The locking space is used to lock at least a portion of the clothes drying rod 21. The second clothes drying portion 30 abuts the first protrusion 422. In this way, the second clothes drying portion 30 abuts the second locking portion 42 to achieve the state switching of the first locking structure 40 without the need for an additional state switching device. This reduces the user's operational difficulty and improves the user experience. It also reduces the overall processing cost of the clothes drying rack. Furthermore, the above arrangement simplifies the structure of the second locking portion 42, making it easier to process and implement, thereby reducing the processing cost of the second locking portion 42.

[0052] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the locking rod 421 forms a locking space around the first locking part 41 under the action of its own weight, so as to lock the first clothes drying part 20 on the mounting rack 10. At this time, only the second clothes drying part 30 is used to dry clothes; when it is necessary to increase the drying space, the second clothes drying part 30 is operated to rise to the top of the first protrusion 422, so as to drive the locking rod 421 to rise and disengage from the first locking part 41 through the first protrusion 422. At this time, the first locking part 41 is switched from the first locked state to the first unlocked state to release the first clothes drying part 20, so that the second clothes drying part 30 drives the first clothes drying part 20 to rise and fall synchronously, and then the clothes are dried through the first clothes drying part 20 and the second clothes drying part 30.

[0053] Optionally, there is one first locking structure 40; or, there are multiple first locking structures 40, with the multiple first locking structures 40 being spaced apart along the length and / or width of the mounting frame 10; and / or, there is one second locking structure 50; or, there are multiple second locking structures 50, with the multiple second locking structures 50 being spaced apart along the length and / or width of the mounting frame 10. This configuration allows for greater flexibility in the number and arrangement of the first locking structures 40 and the second locking structures 50, thereby meeting different usage requirements and working conditions and improving the processing flexibility of the operator.

[0054] In this embodiment, there are four first locking structures 40 , two of which are spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting frame 10 , and the other two are spaced apart along the width direction of the mounting frame 10 .

[0055] It should be noted that the number of the first locking structures 40 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, there are two, three, four, five, or more first locking structures 40.

[0056] It should be noted that the arrangement of the first locking structures 40 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. In other embodiments not shown in the drawings, multiple first locking structures are spaced apart along the length of the mounting frame. In other embodiments not shown in the drawings, multiple first locking structures are spaced apart along the width of the mounting frame.

[0057] In this embodiment, there are four second locking structures 50 , two of which are spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting frame 10 , and the other two are spaced apart along the width direction of the mounting frame 10 .

[0058] It should be noted that the number of the second locking structures 50 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, there are two, three, four, five, or more second locking structures 50.

[0059] It should be noted that the arrangement of the second locking structures 50 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. In other embodiments not shown in the drawings, multiple second locking structures are spaced apart along the length of the mounting frame. In other embodiments not shown in the drawings, multiple second locking structures are spaced apart along the width of the mounting frame.

[0060] like Figure 14As shown, the second locking portion 42 further includes a first body 423, with a locking rod 421 and a first protrusion 422 both disposed on the first body 423 and located on the same side of the first body 423. The first body 423 and the first locking portion 41 are respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting frame 10, and the first body 423, the locking rod 421, and the first protrusion 422 form a U-shaped structure. Alternatively, the first locking portion 41 includes a first plate 411 and a second plate 412, with the first plate 411 being connected to the mounting frame 10. The second plate 412 is connected to the first plate 411 at an angle and has a second through-hole 4121. When the locking rod 421 is inserted into the first and second through-holes 4121, the second locking portion 42 and the first locking portion 41 surround each other to form a locking space. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the second locking portion 42 and / or the first locking portion 41, making them easier to manufacture and implement, thereby reducing the processing cost and difficulty of the first locking structure 40.

[0061] In this embodiment, the second plate 412 and the first plate 411 are perpendicular to each other, and the first protrusion 422 is rod-shaped and parallel to the locking rod 421 .

[0062] like Figure 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, the second clothes drying section 30 has a mounting cavity and a mounting opening 32 that communicate with each other. The second locking structure 50 is movably disposed within the mounting cavity. At least a portion of the clothes drying rod 21 can extend into the mounting cavity through the mounting opening 32 to lock with the second locking structure 50. This arrangement makes assembly and disassembly of the second clothes drying section 30 and the first clothes drying section 20 easier and simpler, reducing the difficulty of assembly and disassembly.

[0063] Specifically, when it is necessary to use the first clothes drying section 20 and the second clothes drying section 30 for drying clothes at the same time, the first locking structure 40 is operated to switch from the first locked state to the first unlocked state. At this time, at least part of the clothes drying rod 21 of the first clothes drying section 20 can be operated to extend into the installation cavity through the installation opening 32 so as to lock with the second locking structure 50, thereby realizing the locking of the first clothes drying section 20 and the second clothes drying section 30.

[0064] like Figure 4 and Figure 13As shown, the second clothes drying section 30 has a third through hole, and the second locking structure 50 includes a second body 51 and an elastic structure 52. The second body 51 has a second protrusion 511 and a mating recess 512. The second protrusion 511 is arranged to be raised and lowered within the third through hole for contact with or separation from the mounting bracket 10. The elastic structure 52 is connected to the second body 51 and is used to apply an elastic force to the second body 51, causing it to move toward the mounting bracket 10. A limiting space is formed between the mating recess 512 and the wall of the mounting cavity. At least a portion of the clothes drying rod 21 can extend into the limiting space to engage with the mating recess 512, thereby placing the second locking structure 50 in the second locked state. In this way, the above-mentioned configuration of the elastic structure 52 can achieve the reset of the second body 51, so that the second locking structure 50 can lock the clothes drying rod 21, thereby achieving the synchronous lifting and lowering of the first clothes drying section 20 and the second clothes drying section 30.

[0065] Specifically, when the second clothes drying section 30 rises to contact the mounting frame 10, the second body 51 descends and pushes the elastic structure 52 downward to compress the elastic structure 52. At this time, the height of the mating recess 512 decreases to increase the size of the limited space, allowing at least a portion of the clothes drying rod 21 to extend into the limited space and engage with the mating recess 512, thereby placing the second locking structure 50 in the second locked state. When the second clothes drying section 30 descends, the second body 51 rises under the elastic force of the elastic structure 52. At this time, the height of the mating recess 512 increases to reduce the size of the limited space, allowing the clothes drying rod 21 to engage with the mating recess 512. At this time, the second locking structure 50 is in the second locked state, and the second clothes drying section 30 can drive the first clothes drying section 20 to rise and fall synchronously.

[0066] Optionally, the elastic structure 52 is a spring.

[0067] like Figure 13 As shown, the mating recess 512 has a curved mating surface 5121 that mates with at least a portion of the outer surface of the clothesline 21. The curved mating surface 5121 faces the mounting bracket 10. Thus, when the clothesline 21 is engaged with the mating recess 512, the curved mating surface 5121 increases the contact area between the clothesline 21 and the second locking structure 50, thereby improving the locking reliability of the second locking structure 50.

[0068] like Figure 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 12As shown, the mounting opening 32 includes an insertion section 321 and an adjustment section 322 that are interconnected. The insertion section 321 and the adjustment section 322 are arranged at an angle. The clothes drying rod 21 extends into the adjustment section 322 through the insertion section 321 and moves within the adjustment section 322 until it engages with the mating recess 512. This arrangement ensures that the clothes drying rod 21 can be inserted into the mounting opening 32 and moved along the mounting opening 32, thereby locking the first clothes drying section 20 and the second clothes drying section 30.

[0069] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the first clothes drying section 20 also includes a frame and a shift fork 22, with all clothes drying rods 21 mounted on the frame. The shift fork 22 is used to clamp at least a portion of the clothes drying rod 21 to drive the first clothes drying section 20 along the length of the mounting frame 10. Thus, the shift fork 22 drives the clothes drying rod 21 to switch the usage mode of the clothes drying rack.

[0070] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the clothes drying rack further includes a support structure 60. The support structure 60 is disposed on the mounting frame 10 to support at least a portion of the clothes drying rod 21. Thus, when the first clothes drying section 20 is locked with the mounting frame 10, the support structure 60 prevents the first clothes drying section 20 from separating from the mounting frame 10.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting frame 10 further comprises a mounting groove 11 for mounting the second clothes drying section 30. The clothes drying rack further comprises a traction unit and a drive device. The mounting frame 10 is connected to the second clothes drying section 30 via the traction unit, and the drive device is connected to the traction unit to drive the traction unit to raise and lower the second clothes drying section 30. This arrangement makes raising and lowering the second clothes drying section 30 easier, achieving automatic raising and lowering of the clothes drying rack and thus improving the user experience.

[0072] In this embodiment, the clothes drying rack has a first clothes drying mode and a second clothes drying mode. When the clothes drying rack is in the first clothes drying mode, the second clothes drying part 30 is separated from the mounting frame 10, and the first clothes drying part 20 is locked with the mounting frame 10 by the first locking structure 40, so that the first clothes drying part 20 can be driven to move up and down by the driving device; when the clothes drying rack is in the second clothes drying mode, the first clothes drying part 20 and the second clothes drying part 30 are locked by the second locking structure 50, so that the first clothes drying part 20 and the second clothes drying part 30 can be driven to move up and down by the driving device.

[0073] In this embodiment, the clothes drying rack corresponds to the following two working states:

[0074] When the clothes-drying rod 21 is fixed to the mounting frame 10, the two second clothes-drying sections 30 are controlled separately. When the outer second clothes-drying section 30 is lowered to dry clothes, the inner second clothes-drying section 30 is raised and does not block the drying. The inner second clothes-drying section 30 can be lowered to a labor-saving height when drying clothes. The corresponding mounting frame 10 is provided with a supporting structure 60 and a first locking portion 41. The clothes-drying rod 21 is moved by the fork 22 to the second locking portion 42 and locked with the first locking portion 41. The supporting structure 60 holds the first clothes-drying section 20. When the two second clothes-drying sections 30 are lowered, the second locking portion 42 descends under its own weight and inserts into the first locking portion 41 to ensure that the clothes-drying rod 21 is fixed and does not fall off. Optionally, in addition to being locked by gravity when it naturally descends, the second locking portion 42 can also be provided with a spring to push it downward and lock it.

[0075] When the middle drying space is needed, the state can be switched. After the remote control issues a switching command, the two second clothes drying sections 30 rise to the top. At this time, the second locking portion 42 is pushed upward, and the clothes drying rod 21 is unlocked and can be moved by the fork 22. At the same time, the elastic structure 52 is compressed, and the second body 51 is released, so that the clothes drying rod 21 can be pushed into the matching recess 512. Figure 8 shown.

[0076] When the middle drying space and the inner and outer drying spaces need to be used, the shift fork 22 drives the clothes drying rod 21 to move and switches to connect the clothes drying rod 21 with both second clothes drying parts 30. Figure 12 As shown, in this state, the two second clothes drying sections 30 cannot be controlled independently and switch to synchronized vertical movement. Simultaneously with the state switch, the control mode also switches synchronously. The first clothes drying section 20 and the second clothes drying section 30 now descend synchronously, the corresponding elastic structures 52 re-open, and the second body 51 locks upward, securing the clothes drying rod 21 to the two second clothes drying sections 30. Correspondingly, the second locking portion 42 descends under its own weight and inserts into the first locking portion 41. This completes the state switch and synchronizes the lifting and lowering of the two rods, increasing the drying space in the central first clothes drying section 20.

[0077] In this embodiment, during the switching process, when the second clothes drying section 30 is raised, the mounting bracket 10 and the second locking structure 50 disposed within the second clothes drying section 30 are automatically opened, facilitating the movement of the clothes drying rod 21. Accordingly, the shift fork 22 drives the clothes drying rod 21 to move, and after moving, it is fixed in place until the next state switching movement. The position of the shift fork 22 corresponds to different dual-rod movement modes (dual-rod independent lifting control / dual-rod linked lifting control).

[0078] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0079] A clothes drying rack comprises a mounting frame, a first clothes drying section, at least two second clothes drying sections, a first locking structure, and a second locking structure. The first clothes drying section is movably arranged and includes multiple clothes drying rods. The second clothes drying section is liftable and extends along the length of the mounting frame. The first locking structure comprises a first locking portion and a second locking portion. The first locking structure has a first locked state, in which the first locking portion and the second locking portion cooperate to lock the first clothes drying section, and a first unlocked state, in which the first locking portion and the second locking portion disengage to release the first clothes drying section. The second locking structure is disposed on the second clothes drying section and has a second locked state, in which the first clothes drying section is locked, and a second unlocked state, in which the first clothes drying section is released. When the second locking structure is in the second locked state, the second clothes drying section can move the first clothes drying section up and down synchronously. When the second clothes drying section rises to abut the first locking portion and pushes the first locking portion up, the first locking structure switches from the first locked state to the first unlocked state. When the second clothes drying section descends and separates from the mounting frame, the second locking structure switches from the second unlocked state to the second locked state. In this way, when the user uses the clothes drying rack, he or she can choose to put the clothes drying section into use according to the usage needs, specifically as follows: if the first locking structure is in the first locking state, the first clothes drying section is locked with the mounting frame, and the second clothes drying section can be freely raised and lowered. At this time, only the second clothes drying section can be used to dry clothes; if the first locking structure is operated to switch from the first locking state to the first unlocking state, the first clothes drying section is released, and the second locking structure can be operated to the second locking state to drive the first clothes drying section to rise and fall synchronously through the second clothes drying section. At this time, the first clothes drying section and the second clothes drying section can be used together to dry clothes, thereby increasing the drying space of the clothes drying rack, solving the problem that the drying space of the clothes drying rack in the prior art cannot meet the user's usage needs, and improving the user experience.
