Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drying, and particularly to a drying rack and a clothes drying device. Background Art

[0002] At present, in order to expand the drying space, in the drying rack structure of some clothes dryers, the drying rods are usually set in the form of telescopic drying rods. When in use, the drying rods can be extended to provide a larger drying space, and when retracted, the drying rods can be shortened so that the clothes dryer can be compactly gathered, which not only reduces the occupied space but also optimizes the aesthetics. The existing telescopic drying rods mainly include a fixed rod and a telescopic drying rod that can be telescopic relative to the fixed rod. The telescopic length of the telescopic drying rod is directly determined by the length of the fixed rod. Therefore, when designing the existing drying rack, only by extending the fixed rod can the drying space be further enlarged. However, directly extending the fixed rod will directly result in a significant increase in the size of the entire drying rack. Thus, the existing clothes dryers face a problem: how to effectively expand the drying capacity while not significantly increasing the overall size of the drying rack. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a drying rack and a clothes drying device, which can solve the above problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] In a first aspect, a drying rack is provided, including:

[0009] The upper surfaces of all the drying rods on the first extension rack and the second extension rack are on the same surface.

[0010] Optionally, the drying rods are respectively rotatably arranged on the first extension rack and the second extension rack. When the drying rods on the first extension rack and the drying rods on the second extension rack are rotated to the same orientation, their upper surfaces are on the same surface.

[0011] Optionally, a plurality of hanging clips are arranged at one side of the drying rod at intervals along its length direction, and the hanging clips can rotate with the corresponding drying rod.

[0012] Optionally, the hanging clips can be rotated with the corresponding drying rod to adjust to a first position and a second position;

[0013] When the clip is in the first position, the clip is located below the drying rod;

[0014] When the clip is in the second position, the clip is located above the drying rod.

[0015] Optionally, the clip includes clip arms, and the clip arms are elastic;

[0016] The first end of the clip arm is connected to the drying rod, and a clip opening is formed between the second end of the clip arm and the drying rod and faces away from its first end. The clip openings of the clips located at opposite ends of the drying rod are arranged oppositely.

[0017] Optionally, at least one end of the drying rod is further provided with a hanging loop.

[0018] Optionally, the drying rod is slidably arranged on the first extension rack or the second extension rack.

[0019] Optionally, the first extension rack and the second extension rack are respectively provided with sliding grooves, and movable components are rotatably and slidably arranged in the sliding grooves, and the drying rod is connected to the movable components.

[0020] Optionally, the first extension rack includes a first telescopic rod, and the sliding groove located on the first telescopic rod extends along the length direction of the first telescopic rod on the first telescopic rod; the second extension rack includes a second telescopic rod, and the sliding groove located on the second telescopic rod extends along the length direction of the second telescopic rod on the second telescopic rod, and the heights of the sliding grooves located on the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod are the same.

[0023] The clothes drying rack as described in the first aspect, the clothes drying rack is located below the main body, and the power unit is drivingly connected to the clothes drying rack main body through a traction member.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The clothes hanger adopts the form of a two-stage expansion rack. The first expansion rack can be horizontally telescoped relative to the main body of the clothes hanger, and the second expansion rack can be horizontally telescoped relative to the first expansion rack. The drying space can be greatly expanded by simultaneously unfolding the first expansion rack and the second expansion rack, achieving the purpose of effectively expanding the drying capacity. When not in use, the first expansion rack and the second expansion rack can be simultaneously retracted, greatly reducing the size of the entire clothes hanger. Therefore, the clothes hanger provided by the present invention has the advantage of being able to effectively expand the drying capacity while maintaining a small size.

Detailed implementation manner

[0038] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted and the achieved technical effects clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal communication of two components or the interaction relationship between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0040] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include the direct contact between the first and second features, or may include the situation where the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through other features between them. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "above", and "on the top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicating that the first feature is at a higher horizontal height than the second feature. The first feature being "below", "below", and "under the bottom" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicating that the first feature is at a lower horizontal height than the second feature.

[0041] At present, in order to expand the drying space, in the drying rack structure of some drying machines, the drying rods are usually set in the form of telescopic drying rods. When in use, the drying rods can be extended to provide a larger drying space, and when retracted, the drying rods can be shortened so that the drying machine can be compactly gathered, reducing the occupied space and optimizing the aesthetics. The existing telescopic drying rods mainly include a fixed rod and a telescopic drying rod that can be telescopic relative to the fixed rod. The telescopic length of the telescopic drying rod is directly determined by the length of the fixed rod. Therefore, when designing the existing drying rack, only by extending the fixed rod can the drying space be further expanded, and the direct result of extending the fixed rod is that the size of the entire drying rack increases significantly. Thus, the existing drying machines face a problem: how to effectively expand the drying capacity while not significantly increasing the overall size of the drying rack.

[0042] In order to overcome the above technical problems, referring to Figures 1-4 , Figure 9 , this embodiment provides a drying rack, and the drying rack includes a drying rack main body 10. The drying rack main body 10 can be installed on a support main body (such as a ceiling, a wall) through the main machine 50 of the drying equipment to provide users with a convenient and efficient drying experience.

[0043] As can be understood from the above content, in the application of the drying equipment, the drying rack main body 10 is used to connect with the main machine 50 of the drying equipment to perform a lifting motion in the height direction under the drive of the main machine 50. As the support basis of the drying rack, the main function of the drying rack main body 10 is to provide a basic drying area for users, and this function is realized through the structural design of the drying rack main body 10. The most common is to set drying rods 21 extending longitudinally and transversely in the horizontal direction, and drying structures (including but not limited to hooks, hanging holes, etc.) are provided on the corresponding drying rods 21. As the name implies, the longitudinal drying rods usually extend along the length direction of the drying rack main body 10, while the transverse drying rods are arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal drying rods. Through the combination of the drying rods 21 in different directions and related connection structures, the drying rack main body 10 provides users with a relatively spacious and flexible drying space. In order to adapt to the use requirements of the vast majority of drying scenarios, the longitudinal dimension of the drying rack main body 10 is generally set to be greater than its transverse dimension. Of course, there are no strict limitations and requirements for the longitudinal and transverse dimensions of the drying rack main body 10 and the ratio between the two in this embodiment.

[0044] It can be understood that in order to ensure that the drying rack has sufficient structural strength so that the dried clothes can be stably dried thereon, the relevant components included in the drying rack can be made of materials such as but not limited to aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and high-strength plastic.

[0045] Based on the above structure, the clothes hanger of this embodiment further includes a first extension rack 20 and a second extension rack 30. The first extension rack 20 is horizontally telescopically arranged relative to the clothes hanger main body 10, and is provided with a plurality of drying rods 21 thereon; the second extension rack 30 is horizontally telescopically arranged on the first extension rack 20 relative to the first extension rack 20, and is provided with a plurality of drying rods 21 thereon; the upper surfaces of all the drying rods 21 on the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30 are on the same surface.

[0046] Among them, the first extension rack 20 is horizontally telescopically arranged relative to the clothes hanger main body 10. Therefore, the length dimension of the clothes hanger main body 10 determines the telescopic dimension of the first extension rack 20. In order to maintain a relatively compact dimension, when the length dimension of the clothes hanger main body 10 is set to be small, the expandable drying space of the first extension rack 20 is also small. On this basis, the solution of this embodiment also sets a second extension rack 30 that is horizontally telescopically arranged relative to the first extension rack 20, which can effectively expand the drying capacity by extending the second extension rack 30 without increasing the size of the original clothes hanger main body 10.

[0047] In addition, this solution also respectively sets a plurality of slidable drying rods 21 on the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30. The drying rods 21 are specifically arranged perpendicular to the telescopic direction of the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30. When the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30 are extended, the drying rods 21 can be spread out. Compared with the length of the telescopic rods of the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30 themselves, the total drying support length provided by the spread-out drying rods 21 increases significantly, so as to achieve the effect of further expanding the drying capacity.

[0048] Among them, the upper surfaces of the drying rods 21 on the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30 are on the same surface, which makes all the drying rods 21 on the two extension racks form a structure similar to a drying basket with a flat upper surface and a long enough length after being spread out. When needed, users can directly spread long and large clothes or fabrics across the drying rods 21 of the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30 to achieve the purpose of spreading and drying. It should be noted that especially when drying fabrics such as sweaters and long towels that are easily stretched and deformed, directly hanging them vertically is likely to cause the clothes to be stretched and deformed. However, spreading them on the drying rods 21 of this solution can effectively share the weight of the entire fabric from various positions and avoid the problem of the fabric being stretched and deformed.

[0049] As can be seen from the above, based on the solution of this embodiment, since the upper surfaces of the drying rods 21 on the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30 are at the same height, after spreading and drying, the horizontal support for the fabric can be ensured, and the deformation caused by uneven stress on each part of the fabric can be avoided to the greatest extent. Also, the problem that the fabric tilts and slides off from one side is not likely to occur. Compared with a single extension rack, the spreading and drying area that can be provided after expanding the two extension racks is larger, and it is easier to meet the spreading and drying requirements of larger-sized fabrics.

[0050] In summary, for the clothes hanger based on this embodiment, the form of a two-stage extension rack is adopted. The first extension rack 20 can be horizontally telescopically arranged relative to the clothes hanger main body 10, and the second extension rack 30 can be horizontally telescopically arranged relative to the first extension rack 20. The drying space can be greatly expanded by simultaneously unfolding the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30, achieving the purpose of effectively expanding the drying capacity. When not in use, the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30 can be simultaneously retracted, greatly reducing the size of the entire clothes hanger. Therefore, the clothes hanger provided by the present invention has the advantage of being able to effectively expand the drying capacity while maintaining a small size.

[0051] In addition, the clothes hanger of this embodiment can provide a large-area and flat spreading and drying support structure after unfolding, which is easier to meet the spreading and drying requirements of larger-sized fabrics and effectively avoids the problem of the clothes being vertically hung and deformed due to tension.

[0052] On the other hand, in the prior art, in order to meet the diverse drying needs of different users, modern clothes drying equipment has made great efforts in the design of the clothes hanger. Multiple drying areas are planned and designed on the clothes hanger, and each drying area has a specific drying function. For example, for the drying area designed for light and thin clothes, a dense hanging hole layout is adopted; for large and heavy clothes, the clothes drying equipment is equipped with a spacious drying rod 21 to ensure that the clothes can be fully unfolded, enjoy uniform sunlight, and be quickly dried while maintaining the original shape of the clothes. However, in a family environment with limited space, the size of the clothes drying equipment and the setting of the drying areas are greatly restricted. Therefore, the unfolding area of the clothes hanger is strictly restricted, and the number and size of the drying areas have to be compromised. This not only limits the number of clothes that users can dry simultaneously but also weakens the diversity of the drying functions of the clothes drying equipment to a certain extent. For families with a wide variety of clothes and complex drying needs, the existing clothes drying equipment often cannot cover all aspects and cannot meet the drying needs of all types of clothes, affecting the user experience.

[0053] To this end, in some embodiments of the present application, the drying rod 21 is rotatably arranged on the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30, respectively. When the drying rod 21 on the first extension rack 20 and the drying rod 21 on the second extension rack 30 are rotated to the same orientation, their upper surfaces are on the same surface.

[0054] Specifically, by configuring the drying rods 21 to be rotatable, different accessories can be installed on different surfaces of the drying rods 21 to meet different drying needs. When it is necessary to dry specific clothes, the corresponding accessories on the drying rods 21 can be rotated to the appropriate direction. Depending on the needs, the accessories that can be installed on the drying rods 21 can be, but are not limited to, hooks, hanging rings 23, clips, etc.

[0055] To ensure a large-scale drying structure, this embodiment also arranges the drying rods 21 on the two extension racks so that when all the drying rods 21 are rotated to the same position, their upper surfaces are aligned. This means that when drying is required, all the drying rods 21 are rotated to the same position so that the accessories on all the drying rods 21 face the same direction, allowing the accessories on the upper surfaces of all the drying rods 21 to assist in securing the fabric being dried. Therefore, in addition to providing a large, flat drying area, this embodiment also ensures that the auxiliary accessories on multiple drying rods 21 remain synchronized.

[0056] In one embodiment, a plurality of hanging clips 22 are provided on one side of the drying rod 21 and are arranged at intervals along the length thereof. The hanging clips 22 can rotate along with the rotation of the corresponding drying rod 21 .

[0057] Depending on the location of the hanging clips 22 on the clothesline 21, the clothesline 21 may be provided with multiple mounting locations for the hanging clips 22 along its length. These mounting locations may be pre-reserved holes, grooves, or clips for mounting the hanging clips 22, allowing the number and spacing of the hanging clips 22 to be adjusted based on the design and usage requirements of the clothesline. Furthermore, the clothesline 21 may also be connected to the clothesline main body 10 via corresponding movable structures. These movable structures allow the clothesline 21 to rotate within a certain range about its rotation axis (which is generally parallel to the length of the clothesline 21).

[0058] Each clip 22 can change its position as the drying rod 21 rotates relative to the main body 10 of the clothes hanger, so that the user can adjust the position of the clip 22 according to the size, shape and weight of the items to be dried, thereby making full use of the drying space provided by the clothes hanger. At the same time, the clip 22 can also be designed in various shapes and sizes to meet the drying needs of different items. For example, the clip-type clip 22 is suitable for drying small items such as socks and gloves; the hook-type clip 22 is suitable for drying large items such as towels and clothes. Of course, when the clip 22 is adjusted to different positions as the drying rod 21 rotates, the drying needs it can meet may also change accordingly. Therefore, there are no strict limitations and requirements for this embodiment for the time being.

[0059] The clothes hanger is configured such that the drying rod 21 is rotatable, and a plurality of clips 22 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the drying rod 21, which greatly improves the flexibility and efficiency of space use. During actual use, the user only needs to simply control the rotation of the drying rod 21, and the drying rod 21 can then rotate accordingly, enabling the position of the clip 22 on the drying rod 21 to be adjusted, and flexibly selecting the best drying mode. This not only maximizes the drying potential of the clothes hanger in a limited space, but also brings unprecedented drying convenience to families with limited living space, completely getting rid of the various troubles during clothes drying.

[0060] Secondly, the clothes hanger also fully considers and meets the diverse drying needs of users. Whether it is necessary to dry large items such as sheets and duvet covers or small items such as socks and handkerchiefs, the most suitable drying solution can be found by flexibly adjusting the positions of the drying rod 21 and the clip 22. This not only greatly improves the convenience of drying, but also ensures the stability and uniformity of the drying effect, meeting the high requirements of users for drying quality.

[0061] In terms of operation, the rotatable design of the drying rod 21 also enables the user to avoid complex operation steps. With just a gentle turn, the drying mode can be easily switched. This simple and convenient operation method not only saves the user's precious time and energy, but also enhances the comfort and pleasure during the drying process.

[0062] Exemplarily, in a specific application scenario, when the clip 22 rotates below the drying rod 21, the clip 22 can provide an ideal position for a user to dry small items of clothing, which may include socks, small towels, gloves, underwear, etc. Since these items are usually small in size and light in weight, the clamping force of the clip 22 is sufficient to support their stable drying; when the clip 22 rotates above the drying rod 21, the main function of the drying rod 21 changes to support large items of clothing, such as sweaters, large towels, bath towels, bed sheets or thin quilts, etc. These large fabrics need to be laid out for drying due to their large area, relatively heavy weight, or due to the reason that they are prone to stretching and deformation. The design of the drying rod 21 can usually bear the weight of these heavy objects and maintain stability during the drying process. At the same time, when large items of clothing are laid out on multiple drying rods 21, the clip 22 can still play an important role. The user can clip the clip 22 on the edge of the large fabric, so as to effectively fix the large fabric, especially those parts that are prone to slipping or wrinkling, such as the four corners of a towel or the edge of a bath towel. This not only helps to fix the clothing and prevent it from being blown off or deformed during the drying process, but also ensures that the clothing dries more flatly and quickly.

[0063] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the combination of each clip 22 and the drying rod 21 provides at least two drying functions for the user, providing great convenience and flexibility for the user. The user can flexibly adjust the position and quantity of the clips 22 according to the size, weight and shape of the items to be dried, so as to make full use of the space of the clothes hanger. This design of the clothes hanger not only improves the drying efficiency, but also provides a more diverse and personalized drying experience for the user.

[0064] In addition, on the basis that the clips 22 are all arranged on the same side of the drying rod 21, enabling each clip 22 to be adjusted synchronously with the drying rod 21 and making the drying functions provided by the drying rod 21 more flexible and changeable, compared with the scheme in which clips 22 are arranged on each side of the drying rod 21, in this embodiment, only clips 22 need to be arranged on any one side of the drying rod 21. In addition to making the overall structure of the drying rod 21 more concise, reducing the number of components and complexity, improving the overall stability and reliability of the clothes hanger, it also reduces the setting quantity of the clips 22 and the design of the connection structure, thereby reducing the processing cost and material cost of the clothes hanger.

[0065] Compared with the design method in which the clip 22 can rotate around the drying rod 21, in this embodiment, only a corresponding movable structure needs to be provided between the drying rod 21 and the main body 10 of the drying rack. In addition to reducing the wear and failure risk caused by the rotation of the clip 22, it helps to reduce the maintenance cost of the drying rack and extend the service life. The connection structure between the clip 22 and the drying rod 21 is also simpler. There is no need to set a corresponding movable structure between the drying rod 21 and the clip 22 according to the number of clips 22, thereby further simplifying the overall structure of the drying rod 21, which is beneficial to cost control and reducing the difficulty of later inspection and maintenance.

[0066] It can be understood from the above content that the clip 22 can rotate with the drying rod 21 to adjust the position. In this embodiment, the two relatively commonly used positions of the clip 22 are respectively defined as the first position and the second position. The clip 22 can rotate with the corresponding drying rod 21 to be adjusted to the first position and the second position; when the clip 22 is in the first position, the clip 22 is located below the drying rod 21; when the clip 22 is in the second position, the clip 22 is located above the drying rod 21.

[0067] It enables the user to make an adaptive adjustment to the position of the clip 22 on the drying rod 21 according to their own usage habits and actual drying needs. Of course, during the process of the clip 22 rotating with the drying rod 21 and moving between the first position and the second position, the clip 22 can also stay at any position between the first position and the second position. By freely adjusting the position of the clip 22, the user can make more flexible use of the space of the drying rack. For example, when drying a large number of clothes, the user can adjust the clip 22 to different heights to form a well - arranged layout, thereby maximizing the space utilization rate, ensuring the maximized flexibility of the clip 22 on the drying rod 21, and satisfying the diverse and personalized drying needs of the user as much as possible.

[0068] For example, between any two adjacent drying rods 21, the respective clips 22 can be rotated to positions away from each other to try to expand the distance between the clips 22 on the two drying rods 21 and reduce the possibility of interference between the clothes dried on the two drying rods 21; another example is that when there are more than two drying rods 21, the clips 22 on some drying rods 21 can rotate with the corresponding drying rods 21 to the first position, thereby providing a drying position for small - sized clothes, and the clips 22 on another part of the drying rods 21 can rotate with the corresponding drying rods 21 to the second position, thereby realizing the drying function for large - sized clothes, enabling the drying rack to simultaneously realize the drying functions for small - sized and large - sized clothes.

[0069] It can be understood from the above content that the clip 22 needs to meet the requirement of providing different drying functions in different position states. In one embodiment, as a specific structural form of the clip 22, please refer to the attached drawings of the specification. Figures 3-7, Optionally, the clip 22 includes clip arms 221 which are elastic; a first end of the clip arm 221 is connected to the drying rod 21, and a clip opening 222 facing away from its first end is formed between a second end of the clip arm 221 and the drying rod 21. The clip openings 222 of the clips 22 located at opposite ends of the drying rod 21 are arranged oppositely.

[0070] The clip 22 of this embodiment includes clip arms 221 which are elastic. A first end of the clip arm 221 is connected to the drying rod 21, and at least part of the clip arm 221 is in a state close to the surface of the drying rod 21 under the action of elastic force. In an actual use scenario, the clip arm 221 can undergo elastic deformation under the action of manual operation by the user or the resistance of the clothes, so that the clip arm 221 is changed from a state close to the surface of the drying rod 21 to an open state away from the surface of the drying rod 21, so that the clothes can enter between the clip arm 221 and the drying rod 21, and the clothes are clamped on the drying rod 21 under the elastic action of the clip arm 221. In one embodiment, a clamping gap 223 is formed between a part between the first end and the second end of the clip arm 221 and the drying rod 21. The user can simply squeeze or pull the second end of the clip arm 221 to open the clip opening 222 communicating with the clamping gap 223 between the second end of the clip arm 221 and the drying rod 21, so as to hang the clothes on the clip 22 or take them off. The clamping gap 223 can provide a certain accommodation space for the clothes, so that the part of the clothes clamped by the clip arm 221 has higher stability, ensuring that the clothes are not easy to slide or loosen during the drying process, and at the same time preventing the clothes from being deformed due to the action of wind or other external forces, protecting the shape and texture of the clothes.

[0071] It is worth mentioning that in the above embodiment, due to the existence of the clamping gap 223, the clip 22 can adapt to clothes of different thicknesses and sizes. Whether it is a light shirt or a heavy coat, it can be easily hung on the clip 22. At the same time, when the clip 22 clamps items such as towels and bath towels, the hems of the towels and bath towels can be better received in the clamping gap 223, ensuring that the hems do not apply a force to drive the second end of the clip arm 221 to open, and improving the stability of related items in the clamped state.

[0072] In addition, a clip opening 222 is formed between the second end of the clip arm 221 and the drying rod 21, and the clip opening 222 faces away from the first end thereof. In the absence of other external forces acting on the clip arm 221, the second end of the clip arm 221 is close to the drying rod 21, and the clip opening 222 can be specifically configured as a flared structure in the direction away from the first end of the clip arm 221, so that clothes can more easily enter the clamping gap 223 through the clip opening 222. Without having to laboriously squeeze or adjust the clip arm 221, the user only needs to simply align a corner or edge of the clothes with the clip opening 222 and then give a gentle push, and the clothes can smoothly enter and be clamped, thus greatly simplifying the process of hanging clothes, improving the drying efficiency, and saving time and effort.

[0073] Based on the above structure of the clip 22, the clip openings 222 of the clips 22 located at the opposite ends of the drying rod 21 are arranged oppositely. Through the above arrangement, the clip openings 222 of the clips 22 at both ends of the same drying rod 21 are more suitable for the usage scenario in the drying requirement of large-sized clothes. Continuing from the above content, in the drying scenario of large-sized clothes, each clip 22 on the same drying rod 21 rotates with the drying rod 21 to the upper side of the drying rod 21. At this time, the drying item can be hung on the drying rod 21 for support, and the two side edges of the drying clothes can respectively enter the corresponding clamping gaps 223 through the clip openings 222 of the clips 22 at both ends of the drying rod 21, so that the two side edges are clamped by the corresponding clips 22, ensuring that both sides of the drying item can be smoothly clamped. While reducing the operation difficulty of drying the drying item, the drying stability is significantly improved, and the whole drying item can be laid flat on the clothes hanger, and its edges do not need to be folded inward for clamping, which is more conducive to improving the overall drying efficiency of the drying item.

[0074] As a further implementation manner, please refer to the attached Figures 1-6 description, and a hanging loop 23 is further provided at at least one end of the drying rod 21.

[0075] The hanging loop 23 in this implementation manner refers to a ring-shaped or approximately ring-shaped metal or plastic part, which is designed to connect, fix or hang other objects. For example, the hanging loop 23 in this implementation manner is used to provide a hanging position for the clothes hanger for the user.

[0076] There are no specific limitations and requirements for the specific structure of the hanging loop 23 in this implementation manner. It can but is not limited to adopting a U-shaped hanging loop 23, a circular hanging loop 23, and hanging loops 23 with other special shapes (such as square, triangular, etc.). In addition, the hanging loop 23 can but is not limited to be installed on the drying rod 21 by means of welding, bolt connection, etc.

[0077] Specifically, the design of providing hanging loops 23 at at least one end of the drying rod 21 can provide additional drying space for users. Users can hang the clothes hanger under one end of the drying rod 21 through the hanging loops 23. In addition to expanding the drying capacity of the drying rod 21, it also broadens the types of clothes that can be dried on the drying rod 21. The design of the hanging loops 23 allows users to flexibly choose the drying method according to actual needs to meet diverse drying requirements.

[0078] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the hanging loops 23 are provided at at least one end of the drying rod 21, which can enable the clothes hanger hanging on the hanging loops 23 to avoid the drying area provided by the hanging clips 22 as much as possible, and prevent the situation where the items dried on the clothes hanger and the items dried on the hanging clips 22 interfere with each other and affect the drying effect. In addition, in the embodiment where the hanging loops 23 are provided at both ends of the drying rod 21, the two hanging loops 23 are located at the two far ends of the drying rod 21. In this way, there will be no problem of interference between the clothes on the two clothes hangers due to the small distance between the two clothes hangers, ensuring that the drying rack has a good drying effect when providing different drying functions.

[0079] Based on the technical solution that the first extension rack 20 is telescopically provided on the drying rack, the second extension rack 30 is telescopically provided on the first extension rack 20, and the drying rod 21 is provided on the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30, in some cases, during the telescopic movement of the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30, the drying rod 21 may have an interference problem with the drying rack and the first extension rack 20. In view of this, as Figures 5-6 、 Figure 8 shown, the drying rod 21 is slidably provided on the first extension rack 20 or the second extension rack 30.

[0080] Here, taking the first extension rack 20 and the drying rod 21 provided thereon as an example for description, the second extension rack 30 and the drying rod 21 provided thereon can be understood and set by reference. Specifically, in the above embodiment where the first extension rack 20 is telescopically provided along the length direction of the drying rack, the drying rod 21 is slidably provided along the length direction of the drying rack on the first extension rack 20. In this embodiment, the drying rod 21 is connected to the first extension rack 20 through a certain sliding mechanism (such as pulleys, slide rails, etc.), so that the drying rod 21 can freely slide along the length direction of the drying rack. In this way, during the telescopic movement of the first extension rack 20 along the length direction of the drying rack, the drying rod 21 can move along the length direction under the manual operation of the user or the action of the drying rack, thereby avoiding abutting against the drying rack and causing the first extension rack 20 to be unable to retract into the drying rack. Moreover, after the first extension rack 20 extends out of the drying rack, the drying rod 21 can move along the length direction to adjust to a suitable drying position to adapt to different sizes and types of clothes.

[0081] In the actual application scenario of the clothes drying device, when the first extension rack 20 retracts into the clothes drying rack, the drying rod 21 will abut against one end of the clothes drying rack. As the first extension rack 20 continues to contract, the drying rod 21 will be subjected to a force from the clothes drying rack, and the drying rod 21 can move along the end of the first extension rack 20 away from the clothes drying rack on the supporting bracket of the clothes drying rack, thereby avoiding interference with the clothes drying rack and also avoiding unnecessary wear or damage to related components. In addition, in the embodiment where the drying rods 21 are provided in multiple and the multiple drying rods 21 are arranged along the length direction of the first extension rack 20, after the first extension rack 20 extends out of the clothes drying rack, the user can adjust the relative positions of the drying rods 21 according to the actual drying needs. This can not only make full use of the space of the clothes drying rack, but also avoid the overlap and congestion between clothes, thereby improving the drying efficiency and meeting diverse drying needs.

[0082] In order to achieve the slidability and slidable installation of the drying rod 21, in one embodiment, sliding grooves 241 are respectively provided on the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30, and movable components 25 are rotatably and slidably arranged in the sliding grooves 241, and the drying rod 21 is connected to the movable components 25.

[0083] As a specific structural form, such as Figure 6 、 Figure 8As shown, a retaining edge 242 extending toward the center of the slot is disposed on either side of the slot opening of the slideway 241. The retaining edges 242 extend along the extension and retraction directions of the first expansion frame 20 and the second expansion frame 30 to ensure that the entire slot opening of the slideway 241 is covered by the retaining edges 242. Furthermore, the retaining edges 242 are spaced apart to ensure that the movable component 25 can be movably disposed within the slideway 241 at one end while extending out of the slideway 241 at the other end through the gap between the retaining edges 242. Accordingly, a movable wheel 251 is disposed at one end of the movable component 25 for disposition within the slideway 241. The movable wheel 251 is rotatably disposed within the slideway 241, and its wheel edge is constrained by the retaining edges 242. This allows the movable wheel 251 to slide along the length of the slideway 241 and rotate about its own rotation axis while preventing the movable wheel 251 from escaping from the slideway 241 through the slot opening of the slideway 241. Furthermore, the movable component 25 is provided with a connector 252 at one end of the drying rod 21. Correspondingly, the end of the drying rod 21 is provided with a socket 211 that matches the structure of the connector 252. The connector 252 is fixedly connected to the drying rod 21 by being inserted into the socket 211. The connector 252 is connected to the movable wheel 251 via a connecting rod 253. One end of the connecting rod 253 is fixedly connected to the movable wheel 251, and the other end of the connecting rod 253 passes through the space between the two stop edges 242, extends from the slide groove 241, and is fixedly connected to the connector 252, so that the movable wheel 251 and the connector 252 cooperate to form the movable component 25.

[0084] By implementing the above-mentioned embodiment, the drying rod 21 can slide along the length direction of the slide groove 241 and rotate around the rotation axis of the movable part 25 through the movable part 25, while ensuring that the connection state of the drying rod 21 on the first extension rack 20 is stable, so that the expanded drying area provided by the first extension rack 20 can provide a good drying effect and meet the user's requirements for the structural strength of the clothes drying rack.

[0085] Please refer to the instruction manual Figures 1-4 As an optional structural form of the clothes drying rack main body 10, the clothes drying rack main body 10 includes two longitudinal clothes drying rods 11 arranged at intervals and extending along the length direction, and support brackets 12 respectively connected to the two ends of the longitudinal clothes drying rods, wherein an aerial telescopic hole is formed inside the longitudinal clothes drying rod 11, and at least one end of the longitudinal clothes drying rod 11 is provided with a telescopic opening connected to the telescopic hole inside the longitudinal clothes drying rod, and the support bracket 12 is used to connect with the traction part and the telescopic frame 60 when the clothes drying rack is used as a clothes drying equipment.

[0086] Correspondingly, the first extension rack 20 includes a first telescopic rod 24. One end of the first telescopic rod 24 is inserted into the telescopic hole through the telescopic opening, realizing the sliding connection between the first telescopic rod 24 and the clothes hanger along the length direction. The other end of the first telescopic rod 24 is provided with a chute 241 extending along its length direction. Similarly, the second extension rack 30 includes a second telescopic rod 31. The chute 241 on the second telescopic rod 31 extends along the length direction of the second telescopic rod 31 and is arranged on the second telescopic rod 31. The height of the chute 241 on the first telescopic rod 24 is the same as that of the chute 241 on the second telescopic rod 31.

[0087] Combined with the previous description, in the embodiment of the present application, the upper surfaces of the drying rods 21 provided on the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30 are at the same height. In view of this, the chute 241 on the first telescopic rod 24 of this solution is at the same height as the chute 241 on the second telescopic rod 31. When drying rods 21 of the same specification are used, the drying rods 21 on the two extension racks can achieve the purpose of being at the same height after installation. Therefore, in this embodiment, only one specification of drying rod 21 can be used, which is more conducive to large-scale mass production and helps reduce production costs.

[0088] In an embodiment, a transverse extension rack 40 is further provided on the clothes hanger main body 10. The transverse extension rack 40 is provided on at least one side of the clothes hanger main body 10 in the width direction, and the transverse extension rack 40 can slide relative to the clothes hanger main body 10 along the width direction of the clothes hanger main body 10, so that the transverse extension rack 40 can approach for storage or move away for unfolding in the width direction of the clothes hanger main body 10, thereby providing more extended drying areas for the clothes hanger.

[0089] Specifically, the transverse extension rack 40 generally can provide the function of drying quilts.
