DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0032] A fully concealed clothes drying machine and a method of using the same, comprising: a machine case 1, a winding mechanism, a clothes drying rod 5 and a light panel 8.

[0033] The winding mechanism is arranged in the chassis 1, and two pull ropes 4 are wound on the winding mechanism. The two pull ropes 4 are led out from the lower end of the chassis 1, and the pull ropes 4 are wound or released through the winding mechanism.

[0034] Among them, the clothes drying rod 5 is located below the chassis 1, and the two ends of the clothes drying rod 5 are respectively connected to two pull ropes 4. The lower end of the chassis 1 is recessed inward and provided with a hidden groove 6 corresponding to the clothes drying rod 5. The pull rope 4 vertically passes through the hidden groove 6, and the clothes drying rod 5 can be embedded in the hidden groove 6. The clothes drying rod 5 is raised and lowered by pulling the pull rope 4. When the pull rope 4 is wound by the winding mechanism, the clothes drying rod 5 is pulled up, and when the pull rope 4 is released by the winding mechanism, the clothes drying rod 5 is lowered.

[0035] The above adopts the existing technology.

[0036] Among them, the light board 8 is arranged at the lower end of the chassis 1 and completely covers the lower end of the chassis 1. The chassis 1 is shielded by the light board 8, and the chassis 1 can be completely hidden when viewed from below. The light board 8 is installed at the lower end of the chassis 1 by lateral sliding of the sliding assembly. The hidden slot 6 can be opened and closed by lateral sliding of the light board 8, and the light board 8 is driven to slide by a driving mechanism.

[0037] The fully concealed clothes drying machine and the method of using the same are as follows: when the clothes drying machine is in a fully concealed state, when the clothes drying rod 5 needs to be lowered, the light panel 8 moves toward one side of the clothes drying machine to open the hidden slot 6, and then the clothes drying rod 5 is lowered; when the clothes drying rod 5 needs to be fully concealed, after the clothes drying rod 5 rises and enters the hidden slot 6, the light panel 8 moves toward the other side of the clothes drying machine, completely covering the lower end of the chassis 1 and completely blocking the clothes drying rod 5, thereby achieving full concealment.

[0038] The preferred technical solution is that the driving mechanism includes a first motor 13 installed on the chassis 1, a gear 11 is fixedly provided at the output end of the first motor 13, a connecting frame 17 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the lamp panel 8, and the connecting frame 17 is installed and slidably mounted on the lower end of the chassis 1 through a sliding assembly, and a rack 12 meshing with the gear 11 is provided on the connecting frame 17.

[0039] The first motor 13 drives the connecting frame 17 to slide along with the sliding assembly through the gear 11 and the rack 12 , thereby realizing the lateral sliding of the light board 8 .

[0040] According to a preferred technical solution, the sliding assembly includes a slide groove 10 and a pulley 9. The slide groove 10 is installed at the lower end of the chassis 1, and the pulley 9 is installed on the connecting frame 17. The pulley 9 is matched and arranged in the slide groove 10 to slide.

[0041] In a preferred technical solution, the sliding assembly includes a slide rail structure 14, the fixed end of the slide rail structure 14 is fixedly connected to the chassis 1, and the connecting frame 17 is connected to the sliding end of the slide rail structure 14. The slide rail structure 14 generally includes two parts, a fixedly installed part as the fixed end, and the other part sliding on the fixed end as the sliding end.

[0042] According to the preferred technical solution, an opening limit switch 15 and a closing limit switch 16 are respectively provided at both ends of the sliding assembly, and a hidden limit switch 7 is provided at the top of the hidden groove 6. Both the opening limit switch 15 and the closing limit switch 16 are photoelectric limit switches, and a sensing end 18 corresponding to the sensing part of the photoelectric limit switch is fixedly provided on the connecting frame 17.

[0043] When the light board 8 slides sideways to open, the sensing end 18 of the connecting frame 17 reaches the position of the opening limit switch 15, the first motor 13 stops, and the light board 8 stops sliding. When the light board 8 slides closed, the sensing section of the connecting frame 17 reaches the position of the closing limit switch 16, the first motor 13 stops, and the light board 8 stops sliding; when the clothes rod 5 is hidden, the clothes rod 5 rises and touches the hidden limit switch 7, and the winding mechanism stops winding.

[0044] A preferred technical solution, the winding mechanism includes two winding wheels 2 arranged in parallel in the middle of the chassis 1, the winding wheels 2 are rotatably arranged in the chassis 1, two pull ropes 4 are respectively wound around the two winding wheels 2, the ends of the two winding wheels 2 are fixedly connected with coaxially arranged worm wheels, and a second motor 3 is also provided in the chassis 1, and the output end of the second motor 3 is fixedly connected with a worm, and the worm is meshingly connected with the two worm wheels.

[0045] The second motor 3 drives the two winding wheels 2 to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the worm and the worm wheel, so that the two pull ropes 4 are wound or released at the same time.

[0046] According to a preferred technical solution, a control system is provided in the chassis 1, and the control system includes a main control board and a power module, a communication module, a first motor 13, a second motor 3, an opening limit switch 15, a closing limit switch 16 and a hidden limit switch 7 which are electrically connected to the main control board respectively.

[0047] The fully concealed clothes drying rack of the present invention can be controlled by a remote controller through the communication module. In the fully concealed state, after the remote controller issues a command to descend the clothes drying rod 5, the light board 8 is rotated and moved sideways by the first motor 13. When the sensing end 18 of the connecting frame 17 reaches the open limit switch 15, the first motor 13 stops rotating, and the second motor 3 starts rotating, driving the winding wheel 2 to rotate, thereby releasing the pull rope 4, and the clothes drying rod 5 descends. During the descent process of the clothes drying rod 5, the second motor 3 can be stopped at any time by the remote controller to stop the clothes drying rod 5 at any position, or the clothes drying rod 5 can be directly descended to the hanging position.

[0048] After hanging the clothes, the remote controller sends a command to raise the clothes-drying rod 5. During the raising process, the remote controller can stop the second motor 3 at any time to stop the clothes-drying rod 5 at any position, or the clothes-drying rod 5 can be directly raised to the drying position.

[0049] When the clothes drying rod 5 does not need to dry anything, a command to hide the clothes drying rod 5 is sent through the remote control, the second motor 3 is started, and the clothes drying rod 5 is pulled up into the hidden groove 6. When the clothes drying rod 5 hits the hidden limit switch 7 at the hidden upper end, the second motor 3 stops rotating, and the first motor 13 is started, driving the light board 8 to move sideways and reset. When the sensing end 18 of the connecting frame 17 reaches the closing limit switch 16, the first motor 13 stops rotating, and the clothes drying machine is fully hidden.
