[0055] In order to make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0057] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0058] In the current design of some clothes drying machines, in order to meet the needs of users to dry small items of clothing such as socks and underwear, they are usually equipped with small cross bars with hooks or small clips. However, the hooks or small clips on these small cross bars generally adopt a fixed and exposed design. This leads to a problem: when the clothes drying rack of the clothes drying machine is folded, the hooks or small clips are still clearly visible, which largely destroys the overall aesthetics of the clothes drying rack after folding. In addition, if the small cross bar is set between the retractable clothes drying rods, the presence of the hooks or small clips will also occupy a certain space, which will hinder the recovery of the retractable rods, making it impossible to effectively reduce the size of the clothes drying rack after recovery, affecting the space utilization efficiency and convenience of the clothes drying machine in the storage state.

[0059] Regarding the above technical issues, such as Figure 1-Figure 15 As shown, a drying rack is now provided, comprising:

[0060] Two parallel drying rods 1;

[0061] The small crossbar 4 includes a crossbar body 41 and a clothing fixing piece 42. A receiving groove 411 for accommodating the clothing fixing piece is provided on one side of the crossbar body 41. The clothing fixing piece 42 is movably connected to the crossbar body 41. Both ends of the crossbar body 41 are rotatably connected to the two clothes drying rods 1 respectively.

[0062] When the crossbar body 41 is rotated so that the receiving groove 411 faces upward, the clothing fixing part 42 automatically falls into the receiving groove 411 , and when the crossbar body 41 is rotated so that the receiving groove 411 faces downward, the clothing fixing part 42 automatically moves and unfolds from the receiving groove 411 .

[0063] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, in the specific structure of the drying rack, in addition to two parallel drying rods 1, it also includes two cross beams 2 respectively connected between the ends of the two drying rods 1, that is, the two cross beams 2 and the two drying rods 1 are connected to form a stable frame structure.

[0064] The small cross bar 4 is installed between the two clothes-drying rods 1, and can be fixedly installed or slidably installed. When slidably installed, the small cross bar 4 can be slid along the length direction of the clothes-drying rods 1 to adjust the position.

[0065] The drying rod 1 can be a fixed drying rod 1 or a telescopic drying rod 1. When the telescopic drying rod 1 is used, the small cross bar 4 can be installed between the telescopic rod bodies 12 or between the main rod bodies 11. When the small cross bar 4 is installed between the telescopic rod bodies 12, the small cross bar 4 needs to be slidably installed relative to the telescopic rod bodies 12. When the telescopic rod bodies 12 are retracted, the small cross bar 4 can be gathered to the end of the main rod body 11; when the telescopic rod bodies 12 are unfolded, the small cross bar 4 can be dispersed and spread along the telescopic rod bodies 12 to provide a larger drying space.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, the small crossbar 4 of the present solution includes a crossbar body 41 and a clothing fixing 42. The clothing fixing 42 is used to fix clothing and can be set as a component such as a hook or a clip according to the use requirements. Two ends of the crossbar body 41 are respectively connected to two drying rods 1, which are used as a support body for the clothing fixing 42. Importantly, the clothing fixing 42 is installed on the crossbar body 41 in a movable manner, and a receiving groove 411 is provided on the crossbar body 41. When the clothing fixing 42 is needed, it can be extended from the receiving groove 411 and unfolded, and the user can easily use it to fix clothing; when not in use, the clothing fixing 42 can be recovered into the receiving groove 411 to achieve the hiding of the clothing fixing 42, while providing protection for it, it can also prevent the clothing fixing 42 from being exposed and occupying space and affecting the appearance.

[0067] More importantly, the present solution sets the installation of the crossbar body 41 on the drying rod 1 in a rotating form. In the use state, the receiving slot 411 of the crossbar body 41 faces downward, and the clothing fixing piece 42 can automatically unfold downward under the action of gravity; and when it is necessary to recycle, it is only necessary to rotate the small crossbar 4 by 180° so that the receiving slot 411 faces upward, and the clothing fixing piece 42 is located above the crossbar body 41 after rotation. Under the action of its own gravity, the clothing fixing piece 42 will automatically fall into the receiving slot 411 to complete the recycling. Usually, in order to provide more clothing fixing points, a plurality of clothing fixing pieces 42 will be set on a small crossbar 4. The present solution adopts the form of rotating the small crossbar 4 to perform the retracting operation, which can realize the simple and fast completion of the unfolding and recycling of the plurality of clothing fixing pieces 42 on the small crossbar 4. Moreover, the recycled clothing fixing piece 42 can be stably maintained in the receiving slot 411 under the action of its own gravity, and no other complex structure is required to be set for locking. Regarding the rotation operation of the small crossbar 4, it can be operated manually, or a structure that automatically drives the rotation can be set to realize automatic operation.

[0068] The drying rack provided in this embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0069] 1) Improved aesthetics: By designing a crossbar body 41 with a receiving groove 411 and a movably connected clothing fixing part 42, when the drying rack is folded, the clothing fixing part 42 can automatically fall into the receiving groove 411 and be hidden, thereby avoiding the problem of hooks or small clips being exposed in traditional drying racks, and greatly improving the overall aesthetics of the drying rack after being folded.

[0070] 2) Optimize space utilization: The clothing fixings 42 can be completely stored in the receiving grooves 411 when not needed, without taking up additional space. This is especially important for the small cross bar 4 installed between the retractable clothes drying rods 1, which can ensure that the retractable rods will not be obstructed by the clothing fixings 42 when being retracted, thereby maximizing the space utilization of the clothes drying machine in the stored state.

[0071] 3) Enhanced convenience: By rotating the crossbar body 41 to change the direction of the receiving groove 411, the clothing fixings 42 can be simply and quickly deployed and recovered. This design is not only easy to operate, but also can handle multiple clothing fixings 42 at the same time, greatly improving the efficiency of drying and storage.

[0072] 4) Protecting the clothing fixing member 42: Storing the clothing fixing member 42 in the receiving groove 411 can also effectively prevent it from being damaged by the external environment, thereby extending the service life of the clothing fixing member 42.

[0073] In one embodiment, one end of the clothing fixing member 42 is rotatably connected to the crossbar body 41, and the clothing fixing member 42 falls into the receiving groove 411 or unfolds from the receiving groove 411 by rotating;

[0074] Alternatively, one end of the clothing fixing part 42 may be slidably connected to the crossbar body 41 , and the clothing fixing part 42 may slide into the receiving groove 411 or unfold from the receiving groove 411 .

[0075] In the above embodiment, when a rotating clothing fixing member 42 is used: one end of the clothing fixing member 42 is connected to the crossbar body 41 through a shaft, a hinge or other rotating device. This connection allows the clothing fixing member 42 to rotate at a certain angle relative to the crossbar body 41. When the receiving slot 411 is facing downward, the clothing fixing member 42 naturally droops and unfolds due to gravity for the user to use; and when it needs to be folded, the user only needs to rotate the crossbar body 41 by 180° so that the receiving slot 411 faces upward. At this time, the clothing fixing member 42 rotates under the action of gravity and falls into the receiving slot 411 to achieve hiding.

[0076] When a slidably connected clothing fixing part 42 is used: one end of the clothing fixing part 42 is connected to the crossbar body 41 through a slide rail, a slide groove or other sliding device. This connection allows the clothing fixing part 42 to slide up and down relative to the crossbar body 41. When the receiving groove 411 faces downward, the clothing fixing part 42 naturally slides downward and unfolds due to gravity for use by the user; and when it needs to be folded, the user only needs to rotate the crossbar body 41 by 180° so that the receiving groove 411 faces upward. At this time, the clothing fixing part 42 automatically slides into the receiving groove 411 under the action of gravity to achieve recycling.

[0077] In the above two embodiments, the user only needs to rotate the crossbar body 41 to realize the unfolding and folding of the clothing fixing member 42, and the operation process is simple and quick. Moreover, the structures of the two embodiments are simple and easy to implement, and only hinges or slide rail structures need to be set for connection.

[0078] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 3 The drying rod 1 comprises a main rod body 11 and a telescopic rod body 12. The telescopic rod body 12 can be telescopically mounted on the main rod body 11.

[0079] The small cross bar 4 is installed between the main rod bodies 11 on both sides.

[0080] And / or, the small cross bar 4 is installed between the telescopic rod bodies 12 on both sides.

[0081] The drying rod 1 is composed of a main rod body 11 and a telescopic rod body 12. The main rod body 11 is a fixed part that provides basic support for the drying rack, and the telescopic rod body 12 can perform telescopic movement relative to the main rod body 11 to adjust the total length of the drying rod 1 to meet different drying needs. Figure 1 In the specific structure of the drying rack, the two ends of the crossbeam 2 are respectively connected to the telescopic ends of the telescopic rod body 12. When the telescopic rod body 12 is unfolded, the crossbeam 2 can be pulled to achieve the synchronous stretching and unfolding of the telescopic rod bodies 12 of the two drying rods 1; when retracting, the crossbeam 2 can be directly pushed to retract. This structure has the advantages of stable structure and easy operation. In a further optimized structure, a guide rail bottom cover 3 is also connected between the ends of the two main rod bodies 11. When used in a clothes drying machine, the drying rack needs to be connected to the lower guide rail of the telescopic bracket. Usually, the two ends of the lower guide rail of the telescopic bracket are respectively connected to the main rod body 11; the guide rail bottom cover 3 is provided in this structure to cover the lower guide rail to optimize the product appearance; further, the area of ​​the guide rail bottom cover 3 can be further expanded, so that the small cross bar 4 and the crossbeam 2 after retraction are hidden above the guide rail bottom cover 3, which makes the entire drying rack after it is completely folded have good integrity and appearance. For details, please refer to the following. Figure 2 Status shown.

[0082] In specific applications, regarding the installation of the small crossbar 4, the small crossbar 4 can be installed between the two main rod bodies 11, or between the two telescopic rod bodies 12, or between both. This flexibility makes the design of the clothes drying machine more diversified and can meet the drying habits and space requirements of different users.

[0083] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 4-Figure 7 The small cross bar 4 is installed between the telescopic rod bodies 12 on both sides, and the small cross bar 4 can slide along the length direction of the telescopic rod body 12.

[0084] The clothes-drying rod 1 is composed of a main rod body 11 and a retractable telescopic rod body 12. The telescopic rod body 12 can be extended or retracted into the main rod body 11 as needed, so as to adjust the overall length of the clothes-drying rod 1. The small cross bar 4 is installed between the telescopic rod bodies 12 on both sides and is designed to slide along the length direction of the telescopic rod body 12. When the telescopic rod body 12 is folded, the small cross bar 4 can be slid to the end of the telescopic rod body 12 so that the telescopic rod body 12 can be smoothly retracted; when the telescopic rod body 12 is unfolded, the small cross bar 4 can be slid and spread along the telescopic rod body 12 to facilitate the spreading of clothes for drying.

[0085] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 8 A plurality of small cross bars 4 are arranged between the telescopic rod bodies 12 on both sides, and a telescopic linkage assembly 5 is arranged on the telescopic rod body 12. The two ends of the small cross bar 4 are respectively rotatably connected to the telescopic linkage assembly 5 at the two ends. The telescopic movement of the telescopic rod body 12 can drive the telescopic linkage assembly 5 to extend and retract, and the telescopic movement of the telescopic linkage assembly 5 can drive the small cross bars 4 to disperse and gather.

[0086] The function of the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is to satisfy the function of the small crossbars 4 being able to gather when folded, and to automatically disperse the small crossbars 4 at a fixed distance when unfolded. Specifically, when the user stretches and unfolds the telescopic rod body 12, the telescopic rod body 12 will drive the telescopic linkage assembly 5 to unfold, and the telescopic linkage assembly 5 will disperse the small crossbars 4 at a fixed distance according to the set distance, so as to achieve the purpose of dispersing multiple small crossbars 4 and facilitating the drying of clothes over a large area. When the user retracts the telescopic rod body 12, the telescopic rod body 12 will drive the telescopic linkage assembly 5 to shrink, and the telescopic linkage assembly 5 will shrink and drive the small crossbars 4 to gather, so that the entire drying rack is compact after folding. Regarding the telescopic linkage assembly 5, it can be specifically set in combination with the existing technology, such as China Publication Patent CN221192657U discloses a linkage telescopic clothes drying machine and an electric clothes drying machine, which specifically discloses a variety of ways to realize the linkage extension of the small crossbars 4, which can realize the functions required by this embodiment.

[0087] Based on the setting of the telescopic linkage component 5, the multiple small cross bars 4 can be dispersed and gathered synchronously during the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod body 12, which obviously effectively improves the convenience of operation. At the same time, the telescopic linkage component 5 can be used to improve the stability of the small cross bars 4 after unfolding.

[0088] In one embodiment, a rotating transmission structure that cooperates with each other is provided between the small cross bar 4 and the telescopic linkage assembly 5. Through the transmission of the rotating transmission structure, the telescopic linkage assembly 5 can drive the small cross bar 4 to rotate, and when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is fully extended, the receiving groove 411 on the small cross bar 4 faces downward, and when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is fully retracted, the receiving groove 411 on the small cross bar 4 faces upward.

[0089] When the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is extended or retracted, it transmits power to the small crossbar 4 through the rotating transmission structure, so that the small crossbar 4 rotates in the horizontal direction. This rotational movement not only realizes the dispersion and gathering of the small crossbar 4, but also allows the small crossbar 4 to adjust the direction of its receiving groove 411 in the vertical direction. The direction of the receiving groove 411 determines the deployment and folding of the clothing fixings 42 arranged thereon, that is, the telescopic linkage assembly 5 can not only realize the automatic dispersion and gathering of each small crossbar 4, but also realize the automatic rotation of the small crossbar 4 to deploy and recycle the clothing fixings 42, realizing the function of the user completing the recovery and deployment of all the small crossbars 4 and all the clothing fixings 42 with one operation.

[0090] Specifically, when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is fully extended, the rotary transmission structure ensures that the receiving slot 411 on the small crossbar 4 faces downward, so that the clothing fixing member 42 on the small crossbar 4 can be automatically unfolded under the action of gravity. When the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is fully retracted, the rotary transmission structure drives the small crossbar 4 to rotate to a position where the receiving slot 411 faces upward, so that the clothing fixing member 42 on the small crossbar 4 can be automatically recovered into the receiving slot 411.

[0091] The rotation transmission structure may include a series of gears 4131, chains, ropes or other transmission elements, which are designed to generate rotational motion when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is extended or retracted. This rotational motion is transmitted to the small crossbar 4 through the transmission elements (such as the rotating shaft 413, bearings, etc.) connected to both ends of the small crossbar 4, so that it rotates according to a preset direction and angle.

[0092] Based on the above embodiment scheme, the user does not need to manually adjust the direction of the receiving groove 411 of each small cross bar 4, and can achieve automatic adjustment by simply telescoping the telescopic rod body 12, which greatly improves the convenience of operation.

[0093] In one embodiment, the rotation transmission structure can drive the small cross bar 4 to rotate by an angle of 180°.

[0094] Specifically, when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is fully extended, the receiving slot 411 on the small crossbar 4 faces downward; and when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is fully retracted, the receiving slot 411 on the small crossbar 4 faces upward. Combined with the rotatable angle of the small crossbar 4 of 180°, it can be known that the small crossbar 4 rotates to two extreme positions, facing upward and downward respectively, so that when recycling, the small crossbar 4 can automatically stop after rotating to the extreme position where the receiving slot 411 faces upward, and when unfolding, the small crossbar 4 can automatically stop after rotating to the extreme position where the receiving slot 411 faces downward. The advantage of such a setting is that the small crossbar 4 can be avoided from rotating more than 360° during the telescopic process of the telescopic linkage assembly 5, resulting in the problem of continuous unfolding and recycling of the clothing fixing 42 thereon, thereby reducing the risk of collision between the clothing fixing 42 and other structures; in addition, when recycling, the small crossbar 4 can be accurately positioned at the rotation extreme position to keep the clothing fixing 42 recycled; when unfolding, the small crossbar 4 can be accurately positioned at the other extreme position to keep the clothing fixing 42 unfolded.

[0095] In one embodiment, an angle limiting structure is provided between the small cross bar 4 and the telescopic linkage assembly 5 , and the angle limiting structure is used to limit the rotatable angle of the small cross bar 4 to 180°.

[0096] The angle limiting structure is arranged between the small cross bar 4 and the telescopic linkage assembly 5, and its main function is to limit the rotatable angle of the small cross bar 4 and ensure that it rotates within a range of 180°. The angle limiting structure can be composed of structures such as limiting pins, limiting grooves, and blocks, which are precisely designed and installed to ensure that the small cross bar 4 can encounter resistance and stop rotating when rotating to 180°.

[0097] In one embodiment, the rotary transmission structure is configured to drive the small cross bar 4 to rotate at the extension end of the telescopic linkage assembly 5 and at the contraction start end of the telescopic linkage assembly 5.

[0098] The rotary transmission structure is specially configured to start working only when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is extended to its end position, which means that only when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is fully extended and reaches its near maximum length, or when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is in the initial contracted position, the rotary transmission structure will be activated, thereby driving the small cross bar 4 to rotate. The advantage of such a configuration is that the clothing fixings 42 on the small cross bar 4 will only be extended downward when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is in the extended state, and in other cases, the clothing fixings 42 are all retracted into the receiving groove 411, which can avoid the risk of collision of the clothing fixings 42 during the movement of the small cross bar 4.

[0099] In one embodiment, referring to Fig.12The rotating transmission structure includes a gear 4131 and a rack 515. The gear 4131 is arranged on the small cross bar 4, and the rack 515 is arranged on the telescopic linkage component 5. Through the cooperation between the gear 4131 and the rack 515, the telescopic transmission of the telescopic linkage component 5 drives the rotation of the small cross bar 4.

[0100] When the telescopic linkage assembly 5 performs telescopic motion, the rack 515 thereon will move accordingly, and this movement will cause the gear 4131 meshing with the rack 515 to rotate. Since the gear 4131 is installed on the small crossbar 4, the rotation of the gear 4131 will drive the small crossbar 4 to rotate together. In this way, through the telescopic action of the telescopic linkage assembly 5, the rotation angle of the small crossbar 4 can be controlled. This design combines the efficient transmission characteristics of the gear 4131 and the rack 515, so that the rotary transmission structure can work stably and reliably. In addition, the design also has the advantages of simple structure, easy manufacture and maintenance, and reduces production costs and difficulty of use.

[0101] In one embodiment, the crossbar body 41 includes a crossbar member 412 and two rotating shafts 413 respectively connected to the two ends of the crossbar member 412 , and the rotating shaft 413 is rotationally connected to the telescopic linkage assembly 5 ; the gear 4131 is disposed on the rotating shaft 413 .

[0102] The crossbar 412 is the main part of the crossbar body 41, and the receiving groove 411 is arranged on the crossbar 412. The crossbar 412 is mainly used to carry the clothing fixing part 42. The rotating shaft 413 is respectively arranged at both ends, which can realize the reliable rotation connection with the telescopic linkage assembly 5. The gear 4131 is arranged on the rotating shaft 413, that is, when the gear 4131 is engaged with the rack 515, the telescopic linkage assembly 5 will push the gear 4131 to rotate during the telescopic process. The rotation of the gear 4131 can drive the rotating shaft 413 to rotate, and then drive the crossbar 412, that is, the clothing fixing part 42 thereon, to rotate. This design sets the rotating shaft 413 at both ends of the crossbar body 41 to realize the rotation installation at both ends, which has the advantages of improving the smoothness of rotation and improving the reliability of the structure. By setting the gear 4131 on the rotating shaft 413, the compactness and efficiency of the rotation transmission structure are realized.

[0103] In one embodiment, referring to Fig. 9 The telescopic linkage assembly 5 includes a plurality of telescopic rod sections 51 that are telescopically connected in sequence, and each of the telescopic rod sections 51 is connected to one end of the small cross bar 4, so that the telescopic linkage assembly 5 can be extended and retracted to drive the small cross bars 4 to disperse and gather.

[0104] Each telescopic rod section 51 is connected to one end of a small cross bar 4, which means that as the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is extended and retracted, each small cross bar 4 will move accordingly. The connection between the small cross bar 4 and the telescopic rod section 51 is achieved through an appropriate rotating shaft 413.

[0105] In specific use, when the user controls the telescopic rod body 12 to extend or retract, the telescopic linkage assembly 5 will be driven to extend or retract synchronously. When the telescopic linkage assembly 5 performs telescopic movement, each telescopic rod section 51 will move relatively, thereby changing the length of the entire assembly. Since each telescopic rod section 51 is connected to a small cross bar 4, as the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is extended or retracted, each small cross bar 4 will also disperse or gather accordingly. That is, this structure realizes the purpose of automatically driving the small cross bars 4 to disperse or gather when the telescopic rod body 12 is extended or retracted, thereby achieving the effect of simplifying the user's operation steps.

[0106] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 The telescopic rod bodies 12 on both sides are provided with mounting grooves 121 on the facing sides, and the inner walls of the mounting grooves 121 are provided with a plurality of guide grooves 122 corresponding to the telescopic rod sections 51, respectively. The telescopic rod sections 51 are slidably installed in different guide grooves 122, and the sliding of the telescopic rod sections 51 is guided by the guide grooves 122 to guide the telescopic linkage assembly 5 to extend and retract.

[0107] The telescopic rod bodies 12 on both sides are respectively designed with installation grooves 121 on the opposite sides (i.e. the sides facing each other). These installation grooves 121 provide installation and sliding space for the telescopic rod sections 51, which can hide and protect the telescopic rod sections 51. When connected, the rotating shafts 413 at both ends of the small cross bar 4 are respectively extended into the installation grooves 121 to be connected with the telescopic rod sections 51.

[0108] On the inner wall of the installation groove 121, a plurality of guide grooves 122 corresponding to the telescopic rod section 51 are provided, and each telescopic rod section 51 is slidably installed in a different guide groove 122, which means that each telescopic rod section 51 forms a tight sliding fit with its corresponding guide groove 122, thereby ensuring stability and accuracy during the telescopic process. The design of the guide groove 122 not only provides a sliding path for the telescopic rod section 51, but also plays a guiding role, which ensures that the telescopic rod section 51 moves along a predetermined direction during the telescopic process, avoiding offset or jamming.

[0109] In summary, in this embodiment, the installation groove 121 is provided to install the telescopic linkage assembly 5, so as to hide and protect the telescopic linkage assembly 5. The design of the guide groove 122 makes the telescopic rod section 51 more stable during the telescopic process, reducing the risk of deviation and jamming.

[0110] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 9-12The two ends of each small cross bar 4 are rotatably connected to the two telescopic rod sections 51, and each small cross bar 4 is combined with the two telescopic rod sections 51 connected at both ends to form a cross bar activity group. In any two adjacent cross bar activity groups, the gear 4131 of the previous cross bar activity group cooperates with the rack 515 on the next cross bar activity group.

[0111] Each small cross bar 4 is combined with two telescopic rod sections 51 connected at both ends to form a cross bar activity group, which means that each cross bar activity group includes a small cross bar 4 and two telescopic rod sections 51 connected thereto, which realizes that in the same cross bar activity group, the movement of the telescopic rod section 51 can synchronously drive the small cross bar 4 to move, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the small cross bar 4 to move for dispersion or gathering.

[0112] In any two adjacent cross bar movable groups, the gear 4131 of the previous cross bar movable group cooperates with the rack 515 on the subsequent cross bar movable group. This cooperation mode makes it possible for when one cross bar movable group performs telescopic movement and moves to the position where the gear 4131 and the rack 515 are engaged, the rack 515 will drive the gear 4131 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the small cross bar 4 to rotate.

[0113] In one embodiment, in combination Fig.14 The telescopic rod section 51 is provided with a rotating connecting sleeve 514 and the rack 515. In any of the cross bar activity groups, the rotating shaft 413 is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting sleeve 514, so that the gear 4131 on the rotating shaft 413 can cooperate with the rack 515 on the next cross bar activity group.

[0114] The telescopic rod section 51 is provided with a rotating connection sleeve 514, which provides a rotating mounting point for the rotating shaft 413, allowing the rotating shaft 413 to rotate freely relative to the telescopic rod section 51 within a certain range, while maintaining the stability of the installation of the small cross bar 4. The rack 515 is used to mesh with the gear 4131 of the small cross bar 4 on the adjacent cross bar movable group to drive the rotation of the small cross bar 4. Preferably, in the same telescopic rod section 51, the rack 515 and the rotating connection sleeve 514 are respectively provided at both ends of the telescopic rod section 51.

[0115] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 11-13 In any of the cross bar activity groups, a first rotation limit portion 4132 is provided on the rotating shaft 413, and a corresponding second rotation limit portion 518 is provided on the telescopic rod section 51. The first rotation limit portion 4132 and the second rotation limit portion 518 are combined to form an angle limiting structure, and the angle limiting structure can limit the rotatable angle of the small cross bar 4 to 180°.

[0116] The first rotation limiter 4132 is provided on the rotating shaft 413 and may be a protrusion or a groove structure, which is used to cooperate with the second rotation limiter 518 on the telescopic rod section 51; the corresponding second rotation limiter 518 is provided on the telescopic rod section 51 and may be a groove or a protrusion structure, which matches the first rotation limiter 4132. When the rotating shaft 413 rotates in the rotating connecting sleeve 514 of the telescopic rod section 51, the first rotation limiter 4132 will meet with the second rotation limiter 518 and restrict each other. This cooperation mode ensures that the small cross bar 4 will not exceed the predetermined angle range during the rotation process.

[0117] Specifically, when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is fully extended, the receiving slot 411 on the small crossbar 4 faces downward; and when the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is fully retracted, the receiving slot 411 on the small crossbar 4 faces upward. Combined with the rotatable angle of the small crossbar 4 of 180°, it can be known that the small crossbar 4 rotates to two extreme positions, facing upward and downward respectively, so that when recycling, the small crossbar 4 can automatically stop after rotating to the extreme position where the receiving slot 411 faces upward, and when unfolding, the small crossbar 4 can automatically stop after rotating to the extreme position where the receiving slot 411 faces downward. The advantage of such a setting is that the small crossbar 4 can be avoided from rotating more than 360° during the telescopic process of the telescopic linkage assembly 5, resulting in the problem of continuous unfolding and recycling of the clothing fixing 42 thereon, thereby reducing the risk of collision between the clothing fixing 42 and other structures; in addition, when recycling, the small crossbar 4 can be accurately positioned at the rotation extreme position to keep the clothing fixing 42 recycled; when unfolding, the small crossbar 4 can be accurately positioned at the other extreme position to keep the clothing fixing 42 unfolded.

[0118] In one embodiment, in combination Fig.11 The gear 4131 includes a gear tooth portion 41311 and a stop-rotation protrusion 41312, and the gear tooth portion 41311 is used to cooperate with the rack 515. The telescopic rod section 51 is provided with a stop-rotation fitting portion 516; when the small cross bar 4 is in the upward direction of the receiving groove 411, the angle limiting structure can limit the positive rotation of the small cross bar 4; the cooperation form of the stop-rotation protrusion 41312 and the stop-rotation fitting portion 516 is set to, when the small cross bar 4 is in the upward direction of the receiving groove 411, the stop-rotation protrusion 41312 abuts against the stop-rotation fitting portion 516 to limit the reverse rotation of the small cross bar 4.

[0119] Among them, since the rotatable angle of the small cross bar 4 is 180°, the gear portion 41311 is not required to be a full gear 4131 with 360°. The central angle of the gear portion 41311 only needs to be not less than 180° to cooperate with the rack 515 to drive the small cross bar 4 to rotate 180°.

[0120] by Fig.11Taking the state shown as an example, it is assumed that the telescopic rod sections 51 from left to right are section rod one and section rod two respectively, and the rotating shaft 413 of the small cross bar 4 is rotatably connected to the section rod two, and the gear 4131 on the rotating shaft 413 can cooperate with the rack 515 on the section rod one. In the state shown in the figure, it can be a process of extension or contraction of the section rod two relative to the section rod one, and in this process, the gear 4131 has not yet moved to the position of meshing with the rack 515, and the receiving groove 411 of the small cross bar 4 is facing upward, and the clothing fixing part 42 thereon is in a recovered state. Referring to the AA cross-sectional view, during the sliding process of the segment rod 1 relative to the segment rod 2, the anti-rotation fitting portion 516 located below the gear 4131 can limit the anti-rotation protrusion 41312 above, thereby limiting the reverse rotation of the shaft 413 (i.e., counterclockwise rotation in the figure). Combined with the BB cross-sectional view, the angle limiting structure rotates to the extreme position on the right side, limiting the forward rotation of the shaft 413 (i.e., clockwise rotation in the figure). Therefore, this structure realizes that when the telescopic rod segment 51 is relatively telescopic and the gear 4131 has not yet engaged with the rack 515, the rotation movement of the small cross bar 4 It is always locked, and the locked state is to always keep the receiving groove 411 facing upward, that is, the clothing fixing part 42 is kept in the retracted state, which means that the clothing fixing part 42 will only be unfolded downward only at the extension end or the contraction start end of the telescopic rod section 51, and the distance between the small cross bars 4 at this position is the largest; when the distance between the small cross bars 4 is reduced, the clothing fixing part 42 has already been retracted, which can avoid the problem of impact damage caused by the unfolding of the clothing fixing part 42 during the retraction process, and at the same time avoid the problem of difficulty in completely retracting all the small cross bars 4 due to the unfolding of the clothing fixing part 42.

[0121] In one embodiment, the anti-rotation fitting portion 516 is configured as a convex strip extending along the length direction of the telescopic rod section 51 , so that when the anti-rotation protrusion 41312 abuts against the anti-rotation fitting portion 516 , the anti-rotation protrusion 41312 can slide along the length direction of the anti-rotation fitting portion 516 .

[0122] The anti-rotation fitting part 516 is configured as a convex strip, so that when the anti-rotation protrusion 41312 abuts against the anti-rotation fitting part 516 and the rotational freedom of the rotating shaft 413 is restricted, the anti-rotation protrusion 41312 can still slide relative to the surface of the anti-rotation fitting part 516, thereby ensuring that the telescopic rod section 51 can continue to telescope normally.

[0123] In one embodiment, referring to Fig.13 The telescopic rod section 51 is also provided with an anti-slip protrusion 517, and the anti-slip protrusion 517 and the anti-rotation fitting portion 516 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the rack 515. During the extension process of the telescopic linkage assembly 5, when the small cross bar 4 rotates to the receiving groove 411 facing downward, the gear 4131 abuts against the anti-slip protrusion 517 to limit the two adjacent telescopic rod sections 51 from slipping.

[0124] Specifically, refer to Fig.13 When two adjacent telescopic rod sections 51 are extended to the ends, the corresponding receiving grooves 411 on the small crossbar 4 face downward, and the clothing fixing member 42 thereon unfolds downward. Referring to the cross-sectional view CC, the gear 4131 just abuts against the anti-detachment protrusion 517, which realizes the function of limiting the detachment of the two telescopic rod sections 51 and ensures that the entire telescopic linkage assembly 5 always maintains a stable and effective connection.

[0125] In one embodiment, in the telescopic linkage assembly 5, an elastic buckle 511 is provided on the telescopic rod section 51 closest to the main rod body 11, and the main rod body 11 is provided with a limiting portion 111 cooperating with the elastic buckle 511. When the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is contracted, the limiting portion 111 can provide a limit for the elastic buckle 511, so that the clothing fixing part 42 of the small cross bar 4 connected to the telescopic rod section 51 closest to the main rod body 11 is first recovered, and then the telescopic rod section 51 is contracted.

[0126] Specifically, Figure 8 As shown, the telescopic rod section 51 closest to the main rod body 11 is the rightmost telescopic rod section 51 in the figure, and the small cross bar 4 connected to it is the rightmost small cross bar 4 in the figure. After the final recovery, the telescopic rod section 51 will be retracted into the main rod body 11, and usually a guide rail bottom cover 3 is connected between the ends of the two main rod bodies 11, and after the final folding, all the small cross bars 4 will be placed above the guide rail bottom cover 3. However, during the recovery process, due to the push of the gear 4131 meshing with the rack 515, a certain resistance will be formed. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the telescopic rod section 51 is easy to be retracted into the main rod body 11 first, and if the clothing fixing part 42 on the small cross bar 4 cannot be recovered in advance during the retraction process, it is easy for the sagging clothing fixing part 42 to collide with the guide rail bottom cover 3 and be damaged, and the retraction of the telescopic rod body 12 will be hindered.

[0127] This embodiment cleverly provides an elastic buckle 511 on the telescopic rod section 51 closest to the main rod body 11, and at the same time provides a limit portion 111 on the main rod body 11 to form a matching, which can effectively overcome the above problems. Figure 4-Figure 7Taking the orientation shown in as an example, during the contraction process, the elastic buckle 511 is first located on the left side of the limiting portion 111, and the limiting portion 111 can limit the elastic buckle 511 from moving to the right, that is, limiting the telescopic rod section 51 from contracting to the right into the main rod body 11. At this time, the telescopic rod section 51 adjacent to it will contract first, and when contracted, it will drive the small cross bar 4 to rotate until the receiving groove 411 faces upward, so that the clothing fixing piece 42 is recovered first; when all the small cross bars 4 are gathered together and all the remaining telescopic rod sections 51 are contracted, the user continues to apply a thrust, and a larger thrust can be used to overcome the elastic force of the elastic buckle 511, so that the elastic buckle 511 is compressed to the right and passes over the limiting portion 111, and finally all the telescopic rod sections 51 are contracted into the main rod body 11, achieving the purpose of complete retraction of the telescopic rod members and all the small cross bars 4. In summary, based on this structure, it is possible to first retract the clothing fixing part 42 on the small cross bar 4 and then retract the last telescopic section rod to avoid the problem of collision between the clothing fixing part 42 and the guide rail bottom cover 3.

[0128] During specific configuration, it is necessary to ensure that the resistance provided by the elastic buckle 511 is greater than the resistance of the rack 515 pushing the gear 4131 to rotate so as to drive the small crossbar 4 to rotate.

[0129] The limiting portion 111 may be a structure fixed to the end of the main rod body 11 , such as a part of a guide rail fixing frame for fixing the lower guide rail.

[0130] In one embodiment, in the telescopic linkage assembly 5, a limit block 512 is provided on the telescopic rod section 51 closest to the main rod body 11, and the main rod body 11 is provided with a limit portion 111 that cooperates with the limit block 512. When the telescopic linkage assembly 5 is extended, the limit portion 111 can provide a limit for the limit block 512 to limit the telescopic rod section 51 closest to the main rod body 11 from separating from the main rod body 11.

[0131] Specifically, Figure 8 Taking the shown state as an example, the limit block 512 is located on the right side of the limit portion 111. During the extension of the telescopic linkage assembly 5, the limit portion 111 can always limit the limit block 512 to the right side, which can avoid the problem of the entire telescopic linkage assembly 5 being completely pulled out in the unextended state, thereby ensuring that the telescopic linkage assembly 5 can be smoothly extended during the extension of the telescopic rod, ensuring that all the small cross bars 4 can be smoothly dispersed.

[0132] In one embodiment, referring to Fig. 9 In order to ensure that the extended telescopic rod can smoothly bring out the telescopic linkage assembly 5 when unfolded, a hook 513 is provided at the end of the telescopic rod section 51 farthest from the main rod body 11. The hook 513 can be buckled to the protruding end of the telescopic rod to ensure that the linkage telescopic assembly can be brought out synchronously when the telescopic rod is extended.

[0133] On the other hand, a clothes drying machine is provided, comprising the above-mentioned clothes drying rack.

[0134] The clothes drying machine of this embodiment generally includes a main machine and a telescopic bracket, wherein a lifting mechanism is provided in the main machine, and the lifting mechanism is connected downwardly to the drying rack to drive the drying rack to rise and fall. The telescopic bracket is generally a scissor bracket, which includes an upper guide rail and a lower guide rail, wherein the upper guide rail is connected to the main machine, and the lower guide rail is connected to the drying rack, and the stability of the drying rack can be maintained by the telescopic bracket.

[0135] Based on the drying rack provided in this embodiment, the clothing fixings 42 on the small cross bar 4 on the clothes drying machine of this embodiment can be quickly recovered and unfolded. When the drying rack is folded, the clothing fixings 42 can automatically fall into the receiving groove 411 to be hidden. This avoids the problem of hooks or small clips being exposed in traditional drying racks, and greatly improves the overall aesthetics of the clothes drying machine after being folded.
