DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] Example 1 A clothes drying rack with adaptive light adjustment includes two oppositely arranged hanging boxes 1a and 1b, hanging ropes 1a and 2b connected by the hanging boxes 1a and 1b, respectively, and a clothes rod 3 connected between the hanging ropes 1a and 2b. The hanging boxes 1a and 1b are respectively provided with power control components, and the relative position between the hanging ropes 1a and 2b is driven by the respective power control components to drive the direction and angle of the clothes rod 3 to change, thereby obtaining a light chasing effect.

[0014] The structures of the hanging box 1a and the hanging box 2 1b are the same and are rectangular in structure as a whole. Two hanging ears 11 for suspension and fixation are arranged on the top. The upper and lower end faces of the box body are respectively provided with slide grooves 12, and the front and rear end faces of the box body are respectively provided with guide grooves 13.

[0015] The power control assembly is arranged inside the box body, and includes a rope slide bar 4, a pull wire 5, a spring energy storage wheel 6, a ratchet reset mechanism 7, a reduction gear set 8 and an escapement wheel mechanism 9, wherein the rope slide bar 4 has a head 41, a rod body 42 and a tail 43, wherein the head 41 is clamped in a slide groove 12 opened on the upper end surface of the hanging box, and the rod body 42 is placed inside the hanging box body, and the rod body 42 is provided with a pull wire fixing hole 42a for passing through and fixing the pull wire 5, and the rod body 42 is also provided with a mounting hole, and a hanging rod 42b is rotatably installed inside the mounting hole through a bearing, and the two ends of the hanging rod 42b are respectively slidably fitted in two guide grooves 13 symmetrically opened on the front and rear of the hanging box body; the tail 43 of the rope slide bar 4 is configured as a hanging ring, and the bottom of the hanging ring is used to fix the upper end of the hanging rope, and the lower end of the hanging rope passes through the slide groove 12 below the box body to the lower part of the box body.

[0016] The rope slide rod 4 is arranged between the spring energy storage wheel 6 and the ratchet reset mechanism 7, the middle section of the pull wire 5 is passed through and fixed in the pull wire fixing hole 42a of the rope slide rod 4, and the two ends of the pull wire 5 are respectively wrapped around and fixed on the spring energy storage wheel 6 and the ratchet reset mechanism 7, that is, the rope slide rod 4 can slide in the box body along with the movement of the pull wire 5 during the operation of the spring energy storage wheel 6 and the ratchet reset mechanism 7.

[0017] The ratchet reset mechanism 7 includes a wheel shaft 72 with a tightening knob 71 at the front end, a wire pulley 73 and a ratchet 74 fixed on the wheel shaft 72, and a transmission gear 75 rotatably mounted on the wheel shaft 72 through a bearing, and the transmission gear 75 is provided with a ratchet 76 suitable for the ratchet 74. The wheel shaft 72 is movably connected to the front and rear end surfaces of the box body through bearings at both ends, and the wire pulley 73 and the ratchet 74 are key-connected to the wheel shaft 72. The wheel shaft 72 is rotated by tightening the knob 71, so that the wire pulley 73 and the ratchet 74 on the wheel shaft 72 rotate clockwise, and the wire pulley 73 moves along the guide groove 13 on the box body by dragging the rope slide bar 4 through the pull wire 5, and at the same time, the spring energy storage wheel 6 on the other side is also wound up and stored under the action of the pull wire 5. When the tightening knob 71 is loosened, the spring energy storage wheel 6 starts to slowly rotate and release energy under the action of the spring. Similarly, the rope slide bar 4 is dragged by the pull wire 5 to move in the opposite direction along the guide groove 13 on the box body. At this time, the other end of the pull wire 5 will drag the pull wire wheel 73 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the ratchet wheel 74 is meshed with the pawl 76, and the torque is transmitted to the transmission gear 75 which is designed as an integral part of the pawl 76, and finally the transmission gear 75 provides power to the reduction gear group 8.

[0018] The reduction gear set 8 in this embodiment includes a total of 12 gears of different sizes, and these 12 gears are installed on 5 axles to achieve torque transmission, speed change and torque direction change with predetermined positions and meshing relationships. The reduction ratio of the reduction gear set in this embodiment is designed to be 36000:1.

[0019] The reduction gear set 8 includes a large gear 81 for receiving torque and a final gear 82 for outputting final torque. The torque is finally transmitted to the escape wheel mechanism 9 via the final gear 82 .

[0020] The escape wheel mechanism 9 includes an escape wheel 91, an escape fork 92, a limit connecting rod 93 and a hairspring balance wheel 94, wherein the escape wheel 91 is responsible for driving the escape fork 92 to move, and the escape fork 92 is driven by the escape wheel 91 to achieve an escapement and release action, and the hairspring balance wheel 94 is used as an oscillation system to provide potential energy for the entire escapement mechanism and maintain stable vibration through the impulse transmission process of the escapement mechanism. The escape fork 92 is arranged between the escape wheel 91 and the hairspring balance wheel 94 through the limit connecting rod 93, and the escape wheel 91 has an outer gear ring and is meshed with the final gear 82 of the reduction gear set 8 through the outer gear ring to receive the output torque from the reduction gear set 8, and one side of the escape wheel 91 is arranged with an escapement tooth 91a. The two slips at one end of the escapement fork 92 are respectively matched with the escapement teeth 91a on the back side of the escapement wheel 91, and the fork head at the other end of the escapement fork 92 is limited to the outside of the disc nail 94a of the hairspring balance wheel 94 through the limit connecting rod 93. One end of the limit connecting rod 93 is fixedly connected to the disc nail 94a of the hairspring balance wheel 94, and the other end is adapted to the limit groove opened in the escapement fork 92. When the escapement wheel 91 is driven by the reduction gear set 8 to rotate, it will be stopped by the impedance of the left and right slips of the escapement fork 92 at the same time. The stop time of the escapement and the release is controlled by the hairspring balance wheel 94 on the other side to realize periodic intermittent motion. In this embodiment, the oscillation frequency range of the hairspring balance wheel is 0.5-5 seconds according to the length of day and night in the four seasons.

[0021] The design principle and operation process of the clothes drying rack with adaptive light adjustment in this embodiment are as follows: In the early morning, when the clothes drying rack is in the initial reset state, turn the tightening knob 71 clockwise to tighten the mainspring energy storage wheel 6. After loosening, the mainspring energy storage wheel 6 starts to release energy, and drags the cable pulley 73 at the other end through the cable 5. During the rotation of the cable pulley 73, the transmission gear 75 is driven to rotate under the action of the ratchet mechanism, and the torque is transmitted to the reduction gear group 8 through the transmission gear 75. After a series of reduction gears, the final gear of the reduction gear group 8 transmits the torque to the escapement wheel mechanism 9. The escapement wheel mechanism 9 transmits the energy generated by the main transmission chain to the hairspring balance wheel through precise locking and releasing actions and maintains its stable vibration, while realizing accurate adaptation of time and torque transmission.

[0022] This embodiment uses a set of main spring transmission system and escapement system to realize the timed quantitative uniform rotation adjustment of the clothes drying rod. According to the different sunshine hours in the four seasons, the time can be controlled according to the cycle of the hairspring balance wheel. The different orientations of the balconies can also be adjusted accordingly when installing this design. Studies have shown that when the air retention rate is large, liquid is easier to vaporize. Therefore, some improvements have been made to the clothes drying rod so that when hanging clothes, the clothes can be tilted while facing the sun, so that the drying area can be increased and the wind from two directions can be received. The wind passes through the clothes to accelerate the flow rate, so as to achieve the effect of drying the clothes faster.
