[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model discloses an electric clothes drying machine 100, including a motor (not shown) contained in the electric clothes drying machine 100, and a cable 111 located on both sides of the motor and linked to the motor, wherein the cable 111 is configured to be able to be retracted or released by the motor. One end of the cable 111 is connected to the motor, and the other end is connected to the bracket 2, so that when the cable 111 is retracted and raised by the motor, the bracket 2 is driven to rise together. The cables 111 and the bracket 2 are both provided with two, and are respectively located on opposite sides of the main body 1001 of the electric clothes drying machine, so as to be driven by the motor to rise at the same time. When the lengths of the cables 111 on both sides are different, the shorter one is retracted in advance, the bracket 2 corresponding to the shorter one is at a first height, and the bracket 2 corresponding to the longer first one is at a second height, the first height and the second height are different, and the two brackets are in an inclined state.

[0032] In order to keep the two side brackets 2 in a parallel state, the electric clothes dryer 100 also includes an adjustable cable structure 1 fixed on the bracket 2. The cable 111 is connected to the bracket 2 through the adjustable cable structure 1, and the two side brackets 2 can be at the same height by adjusting the adjustable cable structure 1.

[0033] However, it should be noted that the adjustable cable structure 1 is not only applicable to the electric clothes dryer 100, but can be applicable to all equipment that requires adjustable cables. For ease of understanding, the adjustable cable structure 1 installed on the electric clothes dryer 100 is now described.

[0034] A mounting opening 20 is provided on one side of the bracket 2, and the adjustable cable structure 1 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 2 from the mounting opening 20. The electric clothes drying machine 100 further includes a transfer positioning member 3, which is received inside the bracket 2 and fixedly connected to the adjustable cable structure 1 to fix the adjustable cable structure 1 to the bracket 2. Preferably, a lock hole 31 is provided on the side of the mounting opening 20, the adjustable cable structure 1 and the transfer positioning member 3, and a screw 32 is passed through the lock hole 31 to fix the adjustable cable structure 1 and the transfer positioning member 3 to the mounting opening 20. The side of the transfer positioning member 3 facing away from the adjustable cable structure 1 is fixedly connected to the other side of the bracket 2, that is, the adjustable cable structure 1 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bracket 2 through the transfer positioning member 3. A positioning groove 30 is recessed on the side of the transfer positioning member 3 facing the adjustable cable structure 1, and the positioning groove 30 partially accommodates the adjustable cable structure 1.

[0035] The adjustable cable structure 1 includes a cable assembly 11, a transfer member 12, an adjustment block 13, and a shift assembly 14. The cable assembly 11 includes a cable 111 and a linkage portion 112 fixed at one end of the cable 111. The transfer member 12 is provided with a through slot 120. The cable 111 passes through the through slot 120 and the linkage portion 112 is accommodated in the transfer member 12. The width of the linkage portion 112 is greater than the width of the through slot 120, so that when the motor retracts the cable 111, the linkage portion 112 drives the bracket 2 to rise together.

[0036] Specifically, the transfer member 12 includes a first support portion 121 fixedly connected to the adjustment block 13 and a second support portion 122 linked to the cable assembly 11, the through groove 120 is arranged to pass through the second support portion 122, and the first support portion 121 and the second support portion 122 are perpendicular to each other, so that the transfer member 12 moves along the extension direction of the first support portion 121 until the linkage portion 112 abuts against the inner wall surface of the second support portion 122.

[0037] The adjusting block 13 is fixedly connected to the transfer member 12 and can move synchronously with the transfer member 12. Two elastic arms 1330 are arranged opposite to each other on the adjusting block 13. The shifting assembly 14 is clamped between the transfer member 12 and the adjusting block 13, and is provided with a through accommodating cavity 140. The two oppositely arranged inner wall surfaces of the accommodating cavity 140 are both concavely provided with a plurality of shifting grooves 1401 arranged in the vertical direction, and the elastic arms 1330 are clamped in the shifting grooves 1401. The transfer member 12 and the adjusting block 13 are configured to be able to slide up and down synchronously along the shifting grooves 1401, so that the elastic arms 1330 are clamped in the shifting grooves 1401 at different heights until the linkage portion 112 abuts against the top inner wall surface of the transfer member 12. That is to say, by adjusting the position of the adjustment block 13, the elastic arm 1330 is switched in different gear slots 1401 to adjust the height of the transfer member 12 so that the transfer member 12 abuts against the linkage portion 112. When in use, by clamping the elastic arm 1330 in different gear slots 1401, the second support portions 122 of the transfer member 12 on both sides abut against the corresponding linkage portions 112, and when the motor starts to retract the cable 111, the brackets 2 on both sides are lifted at the same time to maintain the same height. Of course, there is no restriction on the means of adjusting the gear, and it can be done by hand or by a knob, etc., as long as the gear can be adjusted.

[0038] For details, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in Figure 6In the figure, the left cable 111 is longer, so that its linkage part 112 does not contact the corresponding transfer part 12. When the motor is driven to retract the cables 111, the left cable 111 needs to be retracted for a period of time before it can drive the bracket 2 to rise. The right cable 111 can drive the bracket 2 to rise in real time when it is retracted because its linkage part 112 directly contacts the corresponding transfer part 12, which will cause the brackets 2 on both sides to tilt. Figure 7 In the embodiment, after the adjustable cable structure 1 is adjusted so that the linkage portion 112 of the left cable 111 directly contacts the transfer member 12, the brackets 2 on both sides are simultaneously lifted to be kept on the same plane.

[0039] The first support portion 121 is provided with a fixing groove 1210, and the adjusting block 13 is provided with a fixing hole 130 correspondingly. The fixing groove 1210, the accommodating cavity 140 and the fixing hole 130 are aligned with each other, so that the fixing member 131 passes through the fixing groove 1210, the accommodating cavity 140 and the fixing hole 130 at the same time to realize the fixed connection between the transfer member 12 and the adjusting block 13. In this way, the fixing member 131 allows the transfer member 12 and the adjusting block 13 to slide synchronously and be clamped on both sides of the shift assembly 14.

[0040] The adjustment block 13 includes a positioning plate 132 and an adjustment portion 133 integrally formed with the positioning plate 132, the elastic arm 1330 is arranged on the adjustment portion 133, the positioning plate 132 is accommodated in the positioning groove 30 and clamped with the first support portion 121 on both sides of the shift assembly 14, and the adjustment portion 133 is confined in the accommodating cavity 140 by the fixing member 131.

[0041] Specifically, the elastic arms 1330 extend downward from the lower surface of the adjusting portion 133, and the distance between the outermost edges of the two elastic arms 1330 is greater than the maximum width of the adjusting portion 133, and the maximum width of the adjusting portion 133 is less than or equal to the minimum width of the accommodating cavity 140. In this way, the elastic arms 1330 are clamped in the shifting slot 1401 while the adjusting portion 133 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 140.

[0042] The adjustable cable structure 1 also includes an L-shaped height limit stopper 15, which includes a limit portion 151 and a connecting portion 152 perpendicular to the limit portion 151. A through groove 123 is provided on the transfer member 12, and a card slot 1331 is formed between the two elastic arms 1330. The through groove 123, the accommodating cavity 140 and the card slot 1331 are aligned with each other and connected. The connecting portion 152 is fixedly connected to the transfer member 12, and the limit portion 151 passes through the through groove 123 and the accommodating cavity 140 and is limitedly accommodated in the card slot 1331.

[0043] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 152 is provided with a mounting hole 1520 and a mounting member 1521 passing through the mounting hole 1520, and the transfer member 12 is correspondingly provided with a mounting groove 124, and the mounting member 1521 passes through the mounting groove 124 and is partially received in the accommodating cavity 140. In this way, when the gravity on the bracket 2 is large, the mounting member 1521 abuts against the lower side surface of the accommodating cavity 140 to limit the sliding of the adjustable cable structure 1.

[0044] The electric clothes dryer 100 further includes a decorative cover 4 covering the outer side of the transfer member 12. The decorative cover 4 is snapped in the vicinity of the mounting opening 20 to completely cover the transfer member 12, thereby maintaining the appearance and preventing it from being hooked by external objects and affecting its use.

[0045] In summary, the adjustable cable structure 1 and the electric clothes dryer 100 of the utility model are provided with a through accommodating cavity 140 on the gear assembly 14, and a plurality of gear grooves 1401 arranged in the vertical direction are recessed on the two inner wall surfaces of the accommodating cavity 140 which are arranged opposite to each other. The transfer member 12 and the adjustment block 13 on both sides of the gear assembly 14 are slidably clamped, so that the elastic arms 1330 arranged on the adjustment block 13 are clamped in the gear grooves 1401 at different heights until the linkage part 112 at one end of the cable 111 abuts against the top inner wall surface of the transfer member 12. The structure is simple and practical.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
