Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothes drying rack transmission assembly technology, specifically to the clothes drying rack lifting motor shift transmission assembly. Background Technology
[0002] An electric clothes drying rack is a household appliance used for drying clothes. It consists of a main drying rack, clothes rod, suspension bridge, and hardware accessories. Driven by a motor, it can achieve remote or intelligent control of raising and lowering the clothes rod. The buffer transmission is a core transmission subsystem used to suppress the impact of raising and lowering, absorb inertia, reduce noise, and improve the smoothness of operation. It is commonly found in electric clothes drying racks and achieves buffering through mechanical structure, electronic control strategy, or a combination of both to adapt to different scenarios and cost requirements.
[0003] Existing electric clothes drying racks use transmission gears to achieve lifting and lowering transmission, converting the rotational force of the motor into the winding force of the cable, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the clothes rack. When the transmission gear rotates under the control of the motor, it is affected by external forces in both directions of the motor and the cable. When the transmission gear shifts gears, there will be a gap in the gear transmission part. At this time, the gear is easily pulled by the steel cable and rotates out of control. In addition, the main shaft inside the clothes drying rack is always under stress. External forces will cause the main shaft and the transmission gear to be in a state of compression. This will apply external force to the motor and cause wear on the motor shaft. Summary of the Invention

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides the following technical solutions: Example 1: A clothes drying rack lifting motor shift transmission assembly, including a housing 1, a transmission component 2 at the bottom of the housing 1, an adjustment component 3 on the inner wall of the housing 1, and a drive component 4 at the bottom of the housing 1. The transmission assembly 2 includes two fixing plates 21, which are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. A rotating hole 22 is provided on the surface of the fixing plate 21, and a rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected inside the rotating hole 22. Two snap rings 24 are symmetrically fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 23. A rotating cylinder 25 is fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 23. A steel cable 26 is wound around the surface of the rotating cylinder 25. Two wire holes 27 are symmetrically provided on the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. The two ends of the steel cable 26 are inserted into the two wire holes 27. A first bevel gear 28, a second bevel gear 29 and a control gear 210 are fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 23. A fixing seat 211 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A rubber block 212 is embedded on the surface of the fixing seat 211. A retaining strip 213 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rubber block 212.
[0019] The snap ring 24 is located between the two fixing plates 21, and the snap ring 24 is in contact with the side wall of the fixing plate 21.
[0020] The retaining strip 213 is engaged inside the tooth groove of the control gear 210, and the retaining strip 213 corresponds to the center horizontal line of the control gear 210.
[0021] In use, the fixed plate 21 provides stable rotational support for the rotating shaft 23 through the rotating hole 22. The snap ring 24 fits against the side wall of the fixed plate 21 to limit the axial displacement of the rotating shaft 23 and ensure structural stability during transmission. The rotating drum 25 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 23 to realize the winding or release of the steel cable 26, thereby driving the clothes rack of the clothes dryer to rise and fall. The wire hole 27 guides the steel cable 26 to prevent it from getting tangled. The snap-fit between the control gear 210 and the snap-fit strip 213 ensures that the snap-fit strip 213 is always embedded in the tooth groove of the control gear 210 through the elastic force of the rubber block 212 when not shifting gears, thus limiting the rotating shaft 23 and preventing it from rotating due to the external force of the steel cable 26.
[0022] Example 2: The technical solution of this example, which differs from that of Example 1, includes: the control component 3 includes a positioning block 31, which is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. The positioning block 31 is embedded with a control cylinder 32. The output end of the control cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to a push plate 33. One end of the push plate 33 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped block 34. The U-shaped block 34 has an insertion hole 35 inside. A rod 36 is inserted into the insertion hole 35. Both ends of the rod 36 are fixedly connected to fixing blocks 37. The fixing blocks 37 are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. Both ends of the U-shaped block 34 are fixedly connected to snap-fit blocks 38.
[0023] The two ends of the U-shaped block 34 have different lengths, and the snap-fit blocks 38 are located at the upper and lower ends of the snap-fit strip 213 respectively.
[0024] In use, the positioning block 31 provides fixed support for the regulating cylinder 32. When a gear shifting operation is required, the regulating cylinder 32 is activated and pushes the push plate 33 to move. The push plate 33 drives the U-shaped block 34 to slide along the axial direction of the insertion rod 36 (the cooperation between the insertion rod 36 and the insertion hole 35 ensures that the movement trajectory of the U-shaped block 34 is accurate). Since the two ends of the U-shaped block 34 have different lengths, when it moves, it will drive the locking block 38 at one end to squeeze the locking strip 213, so that the locking strip 213 compresses the rubber block 212 and disengages from the tooth groove of the control gear 210, releasing the limit on the rotating shaft 23 and providing conditions for gear shifting. After the gear shift is completed, the regulating cylinder 32 is reset, and the rubber block 212 elastically rebounds to push the locking strip 213 back into the tooth groove of the control gear 210, restoring the limit function.
[0025] Example 3: The technical solution of this example, which differs from that of Example 2, includes: the drive assembly 4 includes a support plate 41, which is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. A motor 42 is embedded on the surface of the support plate 41. A drive shaft 43 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 42. A clamping groove 44 is opened inside the drive shaft 43. A sleeve 45 is movably sleeved on the surface of the drive shaft 43. A third bevel gear 46 and a fourth bevel gear 47 are fixedly sleeved on the surface of the sleeve 45. A clamping plate 48 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 45. The clamping plate 48 is snapped into the clamping groove 44. A mounting base 49 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. A bearing 410 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base 49. A hydraulic cylinder 411 is fixedly sleeved inside the bearing 410.
[0026] The third bevel gear 46 and the fourth bevel gear 47 are in contact with each other, and the conical surfaces of the third bevel gear 46 and the fourth bevel gear 47 are arranged in opposite directions. The third bevel gear 46 and the fourth bevel gear 47 are respectively meshed with the second bevel gear 29 and the first bevel gear 28.
[0027] In use, the support plate 41 provides a stable mounting base for the motor 42. After the motor 42 starts, it drives the drive shaft 43 to rotate. Through the snap-fit engagement of the clamping plate 48 and the clamping groove 44, the drive shaft 43 drives the sleeve 45 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the third bevel gear 46 and the fourth bevel gear 47 to rotate. The mounting base 49 provides support for the hydraulic cylinder 411 through the bearing 410, and the bearing 410 can prevent the hydraulic cylinder 411 from rotating with the sleeve 45. When it is necessary to switch the lifting speed or direction, the hydraulic cylinder 411 starts and pushes when the control component 3 releases the limit of the rotating shaft 23. The sleeve 45 slides along the drive shaft 43 axially, causing the third bevel gear 46 to mesh with the second bevel gear 29 and the fourth bevel gear 47 to disengage from the first bevel gear 28, or the fourth bevel gear 47 to mesh with the first bevel gear 28 and the third bevel gear 46 to disengage from the second bevel gear 29, thus achieving gear shifting. Since the cone surfaces of the third bevel gear 46 and the fourth bevel gear 47 are set in opposite directions, different meshing combinations can realize the forward and reverse rotation of the rotating shaft 23 or different speed outputs, thereby controlling the lifting direction and speed of the clothes drying rack rod. Moreover, the driving force is continuously transmitted during gear shifting, avoiding gear squeezing and wear.
