Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clothes care, in particular to a clothes sleeve clamping clothes rack and clothes care machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Clothes rack is one of the indispensable daily necessities in people's life, which is often used for airing washed clothes. The existing clothes rack is mainly composed of a clothes rack body and a clothes rack hook, and the clothes rack body is used for supporting or hanging clothes.

[0003] In recent years, clothes care machines, clothes dryers and other household appliances have widely entered families, but most of the clothes racks used by them are ordinary clothes racks. The ordinary clothes rack does not support the clothes sleeve, so that the clothes sleeve is in a natural drooping state, and many wrinkles are easily formed on the clothes sleeve in this process. In this case, ironing care cannot effectively eliminate the wrinkles, which seriously affects the clothes care effect and the user's experience.

[0004] Chinese patent CN202321853043.5 discloses an automatic ironing clothes rack, which comprises a clothes supporting frame, an automatic ironing device for ironing clothes and making the clothes swell and shape during ironing is arranged on the clothes supporting frame. The automatic ironing device comprises a heating ironing mechanism arranged on the clothes supporting frame and a swelling and shaping mechanism wrapped around the clothes supporting frame and the heating ironing mechanism and in contact with the outside clothes. The ironing clothes rack can automatically shape the clothes during ironing. The patent needs to inflate the air bag to swell and shape during ironing, but a larger space needs to be provided in the clothes care machine to support the air bag. In addition, the air bag structure is complex and has high material requirements.

[0005] Chinese patent CN202111403054.9 discloses a drying device for garment processing, which comprises a drying box, an installation plate is fixedly connected inside the drying box, two threaded rods are arranged between the top outer wall of the installation plate and the top inner wall of the drying box, a driving motor is arranged at the top of the threaded rod, a threaded sliding block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod, the threaded sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the drying box, a clothes sleeve supporting pipe is arranged on one side of the outer wall of the threaded sliding block, a plurality of pairs of micro electric push rods are arranged on the outer wall of the clothes sleeve supporting pipe, an drying arc-shaped plate is arranged at the top of each pair of micro electric push rods, and the drying arc-shaped plate is hollow. The patent can quickly and fully dry each part of the garment by arranging the threaded rod, the threaded sliding block, the driving motor, the clothes sleeve supporting pipe, the auxiliary air heater, the first telescopic pipe, the second telescopic pipe, the micro electric push rod, the drying arc-shaped plate and the air outlet hole, which greatly improves the drying efficiency of the garment. The patent provides corresponding care for the clothes sleeve through the clothes sleeve supporting pipe and its corresponding driving structure, but the clothes sleeve supporting pipe and its corresponding driving structure occupy a large space, which requires a large clothes care space in the device. In addition, the structure of the clothes sleeve supporting pipe is complex and the equipment cost is high.

[0006] Chinese patent CN201820211837.4 discloses a clamp-type garment ironing mechanism, including a housing, a garment hanging mechanism, an edge pressing mechanism, a sleeve fixing mechanism, a garment clamping mechanism, a stop mechanism, a garment clamp telescopic mechanism, and a steam generating mechanism. The housing consists of an upper housing and a lower housing. The garment hanging mechanism is located on the inner wall of the upper housing, two edge pressing mechanisms are located on the left and right side walls of the upper housing respectively, and the sleeve fixing mechanism is located below the edge pressing mechanism. The stop mechanism, garment clamping mechanism, and garment clamp telescopic mechanism are located at the bottom of the upper housing, with the stop mechanism movably connected to the bottom of the upper housing. The steam generating mechanism is located in the lower housing. This patent focuses on ironing shirts, providing excellent ironing results without damaging the fabric. It offers high efficiency in ironing and smoothing clothes, making it suitable for those with high requirements for ironing results without damaging clothing. Combined with a garment care device, it dries clothes, allowing for immediate wear after processing, meeting various garment handling needs. This patent uses a cross-clamping and pulling technique to flatten the sleeves, which reduces the space requirements of the equipment. However, the thickness of the cross-section of the sleeves differs from that of other parts, making it difficult to provide effective care. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The problem solved by this invention is that, in the prior art, when caring for clothing, the structure for caring for the sleeves takes up a lot of space and is costly, or it cannot effectively care for the sleeves.

[0008] This invention discloses a sleeve clip hanger, comprising:

[0009] The hanger itself is designed to support at least the shoulders of the garment;

[0010] The clamping component is set on the hanger body and is used to cooperate with the armhole of the garment and drive the armhole to move so that the sleeve is set in an unfolded position.

[0011] By using the clamping component to support the shoulders of the garment, the hanger body allows the clamping component to directly enter the armhole. The movement of the clamping component brings it into contact with the edge of the armhole and into the sleeve, causing the sleeve to move and ultimately unfold. This process is automatic after the garment is hung, requiring no user intervention, thus achieving automated sleeve care. Furthermore, the clamping component is mounted on the hanger body, eliminating the need for additional space in the garment care machine. The unfolded sleeve surface does not overlap with the garment body, achieving a miniaturized and lightweight design while ensuring effective sleeve care.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes two swing arms, the first ends of which are respectively connected to the driving assembly, and the second ends of which extend to the left and right respectively. The driving assembly is used to drive the two swing arms to swing relative to each other. The clamping assembly has an initial state and a clamping state. In the initial state, the swing arms extend into the armhole along with the hanger body and do not contact the edge of the armhole. In the clamping state, the two swing arms swing relative to each other and move closer together, so that the sleeve is set in an unfolded position.

[0013] The above structure is simple and easy to implement. The relative movement of the two swing arms can be achieved through a single drive component. At the same time, the sleeve flattening state can be adjusted through the armhole without considering the natural state of the sleeve when it is hanging down, which helps to achieve automatic flattening and thus realize the full automation of garment care, significantly improving the user experience.

[0014] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a lever and a pull rod, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the swing rod. The first end of the lever is connected to the second end of the swing rod, the second end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to the lever, and the first end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to the hanger.

[0015] By setting up levers and pull rods, the swing of the second end of the swing arm is limited and guided accordingly, which can ensure that the swing arm moves more smoothly and avoid the situation of tooth breakage.

[0016] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a swing sleeve, which is configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the swing rod, the lever, and the pull rod. The first end of the swing sleeve is connected to the second end of the lever, and the second end of the swing sleeve extends away from its corresponding swing rod.

[0017] A swing sleeve is provided at the second end of the lever. The friction coefficient of the swing sleeve is greater than that of the lever. This allows the clamping assembly to use the friction between the swing sleeve and the armhole to move the armhole closer when the lever is in a dead angle, until the sleeve is at the optimal care angle. This design ensures that the sleeve is at the optimal care angle, thus ensuring the garment's care effect.

[0018] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a gear set, a rack, a push rod, a spring-loaded structure, and a drive device. The push rod is fixedly connected to the rack and can push the rack to move under the drive of the drive device. The first ends of the two swing arms are respectively connected to one gear in the gear set. At least one gear in the gear set meshes with the rack. The gear set is driven by the rack to drive the two swing arms to swing relative to each other, so as to clamp the sleeve to make it spread out or to release the sleeve. The spring-loaded structure is connected to the rack and is used for the rack to spring back.

[0019] With the above setup, the synchronous relative movement of the two swing arms can be achieved using a single drive device. This is simple, convenient, and has a compact structure that does not take up extra space in the garment care machine.

[0020] Furthermore, a cover plate is provided on the underside of the hanger body, the cover plate being used to at least cover the drive assembly.

[0021] The cover plate is used to prevent clothing from being damaged by the machinery in the drive assembly or from being contaminated by the machinery oil therein, so as to ensure the clothing care effect.

[0022] Furthermore, the gear set includes two gears, each of which is connected to a rocker arm and meshes with each other. The rack is a single-sided toothed rack that meshes with one of the gears.

[0023] The rack drives a meshing gear to rotate, which in turn drives another gear, thus achieving relative synchronous oscillation of the two pendulum rods. This structure is simple, compact, and easy to set up, enabling relative oscillation of the two pendulum rods.

[0024] Furthermore, the gear set includes two gears, each of which is connected to a rocker arm. The rack is a double-sided toothed rack, which is positioned between the two gears, and each of the two gears meshes with one side of the toothed rack.

[0025] When the push rod is driven to move downward, the two gears rotate in opposite directions under the action of the double-sided toothed rack, thereby causing the two swing rods to swing closer to each other to hold the sleeve. When the push rod is driven to move upward, the two gears rotate in opposite directions under the action of the double-sided toothed rack, thereby causing the two swing rods to swing away from each other to let the sleeve hang down naturally.

[0026] Furthermore, an airflow duct is provided inside the hanger body. The airflow duct includes an air inlet duct, a first air outlet duct, and a second air outlet duct. The first air outlet duct and the second air outlet duct are located on the left and right sides of the hanger body, respectively, and are both connected to the air inlet duct.

[0027] The airflow duct design allows the hanger to air-dry or tumble-dry clothes from the inside, effectively improving care efficiency and results.

[0028] Furthermore, the first air outlet and the second air outlet are located on the shoulder supports on the left and right sides of the hanger body, respectively.

[0029] With the above setup, the care gas passing through the first and second air outlets can be directly delivered to the sleeves for air drying or tumble drying from inside the sleeves, significantly improving the care effect of the garments.

[0030] Furthermore, when the clamping assembly is in its initial state, the projection of the clamping assembly in the horizontal direction is covered by the projection of the hanger body in the horizontal direction.

[0031] The present invention also discloses a garment care machine, including the sleeve clamp hanger described above.

[0032] With the above-described design, the sleeve clamping hanger and garment care machine of the present invention have the following advantages compared to the prior art:

[0033] The sleeve clamping hanger of this invention, through the cooperative movement of the clamping component and the armhole, enables the sleeve of clothing to be in a vertical and unfolded state. In this state, existing ironing and care devices can be used to care for the sleeve. The clamping component has a simple structure, and its vertical direction is covered by the projection of the hanger, thus not occupying additional space inside the garment care machine. This achieves a miniaturized and lightweight design of the garment care machine. Furthermore, since there is no overlap in the unfolded area of ​​the sleeve, it ensures that the sleeve receives comprehensive and effective care. The sleeve clamping hanger provided by this invention has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and significantly improves the care effect of sleeves. Attached Figure Description

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0042] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention: a sleeve clamping hanger and a garment care machine.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] This embodiment provides a sleeve clamping hanger for use in a garment care machine, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes:

[0045] The hanger body is 100mm thick and is designed to support at least the shoulders of clothing.

[0046] A clamping component is mounted on the hanger body 100 to engage with the armhole of the garment and drive the armhole to move, so that the sleeve is set in an unfolded position.

[0047] The armhole refers to the part of the garment where the sleeves are attached. In this embodiment, the clamping assembly is located on the lower side of the hanger body 100. When the hanger body 100 supports the shoulder of the garment, both ends of the clamping assembly simultaneously extend into the armhole. When the clamping assembly rotates downward, it contacts the edge of the armhole and moves the armhole, thereby moving the sleeve. Ultimately, the sleeve is positioned in a natural vertical state. The sleeve being arranged in an unfolded state means that the two sleeves are concentrated in the middle of the garment and naturally unfold and hang down under the clamping of the clamping assembly. It should be noted that when the garment is hanging naturally, the sleeves are close to the fabric and drooping. At this time, the sleeves may be in various states, such as some sleeves bending and extending towards the front of the garment, some sleeves bending and extending towards the back of the garment, and some sleeves fitting snugly against the garment with many wrinkles. In this case, users usually need to manually straighten and fix the sleeves, or they need to insert some support structures into the sleeves for care. The sleeves cannot be automatically straightened, and therefore cannot be automatically ironed, resulting in a poor user experience. In this embodiment, by setting up the clamping component, the hanger body 100 supports the shoulder of the garment, allowing the clamping component to directly enter the armhole. Then, by moving the clamping component, it abuts against the edge of the armhole and enters the sleeve, causing the sleeve to move and ultimately be set in an unfolded position. This action can be performed automatically after the garment is hung, without requiring any user operation, thus achieving automated sleeve care. In addition, the clamping component is set on the hanger body 100, without occupying additional space in the garment care machine. Furthermore, after the sleeve is set in an unfolded position, the unfolded surface of the sleeve does not overlap with the garment body, achieving a miniaturized and lightweight design of the garment care machine while ensuring the sleeve care effect.

[0048] As one optional embodiment, the clamping assembly includes two swing rods 200 and a driving assembly. The first ends of the two swing rods 200 are respectively connected to the driving assembly, and the second ends of the two swing rods 200 extend to the left and right respectively. The driving assembly is used to drive the two swing rods 200 to swing relative to each other. The clamping assembly has an initial state and a clamping state. In the initial state, the swing rods 200 extend into the armhole along with the hanger body 100 and do not contact the edge of the armhole. In the clamping state, the two swing rods 200 swing relative to each other and move closer together, so that the sleeve is set in an unfolded position. It should be noted that the relative swing of the two swing rods 200 means that, with the drive assembly connected to them as the axis, one swing rod 200 rotates clockwise and the other rotates counterclockwise. When the swing rod 200 extending to the left swings counterclockwise, the swing rod 200 extending to the right swings clockwise. At this time, the second ends of the two swing rods gradually approach each other below the drive assembly connected to them, so that the sleeve is in a hanging and vertically unfolded state, which is the clamping state. When the swing rod 200 extending to the left swings clockwise, the swing rod 200 extending to the right swings counterclockwise. At this time, the second ends of the two swing rods gradually move to the left and right and separate. Finally, the swing rods 200 no longer contact the edge of the armhole, so that the sleeve returns to the hanging state when the garment is naturally suspended, which is the initial state. The above structure is simple and easy to implement. The relative movement of the two swing arms 200 can be achieved through a single drive component. At the same time, the sleeve flattening state can be adjusted through the armhole without considering the natural state of the sleeve when it is hanging down, which helps to achieve automatic flattening and thus realize the full automation of garment care, significantly improving the user experience.

[0049] As an embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly includes a gear set 600, a rack 700, a push rod 800, a spring-loaded structure, and a driving device. The push rod 800 cooperates with the rack 700, and the push rod 800 can push the rack 700 to move under the drive of the driving device. The first ends of the two swing rods 200 are respectively connected to one gear in the gear set 600. At least one gear in the gear set 600 meshes with the rack 700. The gear set 600 is driven by the rack 700 to drive the two swing rods 200 to swing relative to each other, so as to clamp the sleeve to make it open or release the sleeve. The spring-loaded structure is connected to the rack 700 for the spring-loaded structure to rebound the rack 700. When the hanger body 100 supports the garment, the second end of the swing rod 200 extends into the sleeve through the armhole. When the swing rod 200 swings under the drive of the gear set 600, the swing rod 200 can abut against the edge of the armhole and drive the sleeve to swing, ultimately making the sleeve open. In this embodiment, when the clamping assembly switches from the initial state to the clamping state, the push rod 800 moves downward, causing the rack 700 to move downward. The rack 700's downward movement causes the gear set 600 to rotate, which in turn causes the swing rods 200 to swing and move closer to each other. The swing rods 200 contact the garment armholes, causing the garment armholes to move closer together, thus making the sleeves spread out. When the clamping assembly switches from the clamping state to the initial state, the push rod 800 moves upward, and the rack 700 moves upward due to the spring force of the rebound structure. The rack 700 drives the gear set 600 to rotate, which in turn causes the swing rods 200 to move away from each other, disengaging from the garment armholes and allowing the garment armholes to move away from each other, thus making the sleeves hang naturally. With the above settings, the synchronous relative movement of the two swing rods 200 can be achieved using a single drive device, which is simple, convenient, and has a simple and compact structure, without taking up additional space in the garment care machine.

[0050] As one optional embodiment, the springback structure is a spring 900, one end of which is fixed and the other end is connected to the rack 700. In the initial state, the spring 900 is in an extended state. When switching to the clamping state, the spring 900 is gradually compressed. When switching back to the initial state, the drive device stops working or reverses its operation, the push rod 800 loses its downward pushing force, the spring 900 springs back to its extended state, and simultaneously pushes the rack 700 back to its initial position. It should be noted that other existing structures capable of springing back the rack 700 can also be used, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0051] In this embodiment, the driving device is a motor. The motor directly drives the push rod 800 or drives the push rod 800 through a lead screw. When the push rod 800 is driven to move downward, it drives the rack 700 to move. The rack 700 drives the gear set 600 to rotate, thereby causing the two swing rods 200 to swing closer together to clamp the clothing. When the push rod 800 is driven to move upward, it drives the rack 700 to move upward. The rack 700 drives the gear set 600 to rotate, thereby causing the two swing rods 200 to swing away to allow the sleeves to hang down naturally.

[0052] Optionally, an extension plate 140 is provided on the lower side of the hanger body 100, and the clamping assembly is disposed on the extension plate 140. The extension plate 140 is used to provide a fixing structure for the clamping assembly, thereby forming corresponding support for it.

[0053] In one preferred embodiment, a cover plate (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the lower side of the hanger body 100. The cover plate is used to at least cover the drive assembly. The cover plate is used to prevent clothing from being damaged by mechanical entanglement in the drive assembly or from being contaminated by mechanical oil therein, so as to ensure the clothing care effect.

[0054] Preferably, the shoulder support portion of the hanger body 100 has a wide structure to provide support for the shoulders of the garment. This design effectively supports the shoulders of the garment, preventing wrinkles from forming, and also effectively prevents the swing arm 200 from clamping wrinkles and causing clamping failure when it swings.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, an airflow duct is provided inside the hanger body 100. The airflow duct includes an air inlet duct 110, a first air outlet duct 120, and a second air outlet duct 130. The first air outlet duct 120 and the second air outlet duct 130 are located on the left and right sides of the hanger body 100, respectively, and are both connected to the air inlet duct 110. The airflow duct allows the hanger to air-dry or tumble-dry clothes from the inside, effectively improving the efficiency and effect of the drying process.

[0056] Preferably, the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 are located on the shoulder supports on the left and right sides of the garment hanger body 100, respectively. With the above arrangement, the care gas passing through the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 can be directly delivered to the sleeves for air drying or tumble drying from inside the sleeves, significantly improving the care effect of the garments.

[0057] As an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4As shown, the gear set 600 includes two gears, each connected to a rocker arm 200, and the two gears mesh with each other. The rack 700 is a single-sided toothed rack, which meshes with one of the gears. The rack 700 drives the meshing gear to rotate, which in turn drives the other gear to rotate, thereby achieving relative synchronous oscillation of the rocker arms 200. The above structure is simple, compact, and easy to set up, and can achieve relative oscillation of the two rocker arms 200.

[0058] In another embodiment of the present invention, the gear set 600 includes two gears, each of which is connected to a rocker arm 200. The rack 700 is a double-sided toothed rack, positioned between the two gears, with each gear meshing with one side of the rack. When the push rod 800 is driven downward, the two gears rotate in opposite directions under the action of the double-sided toothed rack, causing the two rocker arms 200 to swing closer together to hold the sleeve. When the push rod 800 is driven upward, the two gears rotate in opposite directions under the action of the double-sided toothed rack, causing the two rocker arms 200 to swing away from each other, allowing the sleeve to hang down naturally. It should be understood that the gear set 600 can also be a combination of multiple gears, which can be specifically configured by those skilled in the art according to their needs, and is not limited here.

[0059] In one preferred embodiment, when the clamping assembly is in its initial state, the horizontal projection of the clamping assembly is covered by the horizontal projection of the hanger body 100. This arrangement ensures that the dimensions of the hanger body 100 remain unchanged in the left-right direction, allowing the hanger to easily insert into the clothing.

[0060] As another optional embodiment, when the clamping assembly is in the clamping state, the swing rod 200 is driven to approach the armhole, causing the armhole to move with the swing rod 200 so that the sleeve is set in an unfolded position.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] This embodiment provides a sleeve clip hanger, which is an improvement on embodiment 1 as follows:

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the clamping assembly also includes a lever 500 and a pull rod 400, which are respectively configured to correspond one-to-one with the swing rod 200. The lever 500 is sleeved on the swing rod 200, the second end of the pull rod 400 is rotatably connected to the lever 500, and the first end of the pull rod 400 is rotatably connected to the hanger. Specifically, the first end of the pull rod 400 is rotatably connected to the extension plate 140. During the research and development process, it was found that when the swing rod 200 is subjected to resistance, the gear corresponding to the swing rod 200 is prone to dislodging, causing the swing rod 200 to become misaligned. This will result in the angle between the left swing rod 200 and the horizontal line being different from the angle between the right swing rod 200 and the horizontal line, which in turn leads to differences in the displacement of the armhole of the garment, resulting in a poor sleeve unfolding effect. In this case, by setting the lever 500 and the pull rod 400, the swing of the second end of the swing rod 200 is limited and guided accordingly, which can ensure that the swing rod 200 moves more smoothly and avoid the situation of tooth breakage.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] This embodiment provides a sleeve clip hanger, which is an improvement on embodiment 2 as follows:

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly also includes a swing sleeve 300, which is correspondingly arranged with the swing rod 200, the lever 500, and the pull rod 400. The first end of the swing sleeve 300 is connected to the second end of the lever 500, and the second end of the swing sleeve 300 extends away from its corresponding swing rod 200. During the development process, it was discovered that the swing rod 200 moves the armholes of the garment closer together, allowing the sleeves to unfold. However, when the swing rod 200 moves the armholes closer together to a certain distance, a dead angle appears, preventing the sleeves from moving closer together further, and at this point, the sleeves are not at the optimal care angle. It should be noted that the optimal care angle is when the sleeve's front unfolded area is at its maximum, with the unfolded surface of the sleeve perpendicular to the ground. When the swing rod 200 is in a dead angle, to ensure the sleeve is at the optimal care angle, the swing rod needs to be able to move the armholes upwards or provide an upward component force to the armholes, allowing them to continue moving closer until the sleeve is at the optimal care angle. Based on this requirement, this application provides a swing sleeve 300 at the second end of the lever 500. The friction coefficient between the swing sleeve 300 and the lever 200 is configured to be less than that between the swing sleeve 300 and the armhole of the garment. This makes it easier for relative sliding between the swing sleeve 300 and the lever 200 to occur. Thus, when the lever 200 is in a dead angle, the clamping assembly can use the frictional sliding between the swing sleeve 300 and the lever 200 to provide an upward component force to the armhole of the garment, causing the armhole to continue moving closer until the sleeve is at the optimal care angle. This setting ensures that the sleeve is at the optimal care angle, thus ensuring the garment's care effect.

[0067] As another optional embodiment, when the clamping assembly is in the clamping state, the swing rod 200 and the swing sleeve 300 are driven to approach the armhole, causing the armhole to move with the swing rod 200 and the swing sleeve 300 so that the sleeve is set in an unfolded position.

[0068] Example 4

[0069] This embodiment provides a garment care machine, including a sleeve clamping hanger as described in Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, or Embodiment 3.
