[0035] 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.

[0036] It should be noted here that in order to avoid obscuring the present invention due to unnecessary details, only structures and / or processing steps closely related to the scheme of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0037] In addition, it should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 9As shown, a clothes drying machine 100 of a preferred embodiment of the utility model is shown. The clothes drying machine 100 includes a clothes drying component 1 and a lighting component 2, which can be used for drying clothes and providing lighting at the same time. By rationally designing the structures of the clothes drying component 1 and the lighting component 2, the thickness of the clothes drying machine 100 is made thinner.

[0039] The clothes drying assembly 1 includes a housing 10, which includes a base plate 101, a top wall 102 and a side wall 103. The two ends of the side wall 103 are connected to the top wall 102 and the base plate 101 respectively. The side wall 103 is arranged around the base plate 101. The base plate 101, the top wall 102 and the side wall 103 are jointly arranged to form a receiving space 104. The base plate 101 protrudes toward the receiving space 104 to form a first cavity 105 and a second cavity 106 that are independent of each other. The first cavity 105 is configured to accommodate the clothes drying rod 11, and the second cavity 106 is configured to accommodate part of the lighting assembly 2. The base plate 101 and the side wall 103 are integrally formed, that is, the housing 10 is an integrally formed structure, which realizes full utilization of space, reduces the number of components, and saves costs.

[0040] The top wall 102 is configured to be fixedly connected to the installation base. After the top wall 102 is fixedly connected to the installation base by expansion screws, there is still a length of the expansion screws exposed from the installation base, that is, there is an installation space between the top wall 102 and the installation base.

[0041] The top wall 102 is fixedly connected to the housing 10, and the top wall 102 is upwardly protruded to form a protrusion 1020 corresponding to the position of the pulley 122, and the protrusion 1020 is configured to at least partially accommodate the thickness of the pulley 122 and the motor 131. Due to the existence of the installation space, the protrusion 1020 can be directly located in the installation space, and the increased local height of the top wall 102 cannot be seen from the user's perspective below, which makes reasonable use of the space and increases the aesthetic appearance.

[0042] The receiving space 104 is located above the substrate 101, and the second cavity 106 and the first cavity 105 are both located below the substrate 101, and the second cavity 106 and the first cavity 105 are arranged adjacent to each other on the left and right. This arrangement effectively utilizes the vertical space and avoids space waste.

[0043] The receiving space 104 is provided with a traction assembly 12 and a driving assembly 13. The traction assembly 12 includes a traction rope 121 and a pulley 122. The driving assembly 13 includes a motor 131 and two winding wheels 132. When the clothes drying machine 100 is working, the motor 131 drives the two winding wheels 132 to rotate, thereby driving the traction rope 121 wound on the winding wheels 132 to move. The key components such as the driving assembly 13 and the traction assembly 12 are arranged in the receiving space 104 and isolated by the substrate 101, which can improve the safety of the clothes drying machine 100. This design can effectively prevent the user from accidentally touching the driving assembly 13 during use, thereby avoiding possible safety hazards.

[0044] In this embodiment, a clothes drying rod 11 is provided in the first cavity 105. The clothes drying rod 11 is provided below the pulley 122 and is connected to the traction rope 121. The clothes drying rod 11 can be driven by the traction rope 121 to move in the vertical direction. A clearance opening 111 is provided at a position of the clothes drying rod 11 corresponding to the pulley 122. The clearance opening 111 is configured to at least partially accommodate the pulley 122.

[0045] Specifically, the position of the first cavity 105 corresponding to the pulley 122 is provided with an avoidance groove 1051 in the same recessed direction as the avoidance opening 111. This design allows the pulley 122 to at least partially enter the avoidance groove 1051, thereby avoiding interference or collision between the pulley 122 and the inner wall of the first cavity 105. The setting of the avoidance groove 1051 makes full use of the space of the first cavity 105, so that the pulley 122 occupies less space, thereby optimizing the overall structure of the clothes drying machine 100 and making the overall thickness of the clothes drying machine 100 thinner. At the same time, the same structural design is also made at the housing 10 corresponding to the avoidance groove 1051.

[0046] Furthermore, the avoidance groove 1051 is provided with a through hole 1052 for the traction rope 121 to pass through, and the traction rope 121 is connected to the clothesline 11 through the through hole 1052, and when the clothesline 11 is accommodated in the first cavity 105, the avoidance groove 1051 and the pulley 122 are at least partially accommodated in the avoidance opening 111.

[0047] The cooperation between the avoidance groove 1051 and the protrusion 1020 provides a maximum storage space for the pulley 122. The reasonable layout and avoidance make the thickness of the clothes drying machine 100 very thin.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig.10 As shown, an avoidance gap 1050 is provided at the position of the first cavity 105 corresponding to the pulley 122, that is, the first cavity 105 here is a hollow design. When the clothes drying rod 11 is accommodated in the first cavity 105, the pulley 122 passes through the avoidance gap 1050 to be at least partially accommodated in the avoidance opening 111.

[0049] The clothes drying rod 11 is a telescopic rod, which includes an outer rod 113 and an inner rod 114 . The outer rod 113 has a receiving groove 1130 . An inner rod 114 is disposed at each end of the receiving groove 1130 . The inner rod 114 is slidably connected to the outer rod 113 .

[0050] An outer bushing 1140 and an inner bushing 1141 are provided at both ends of the inner rod 114. The diameters of the outer bushing 1140 and the inner bushing 1141 are larger than the diameter of the inner rod 114. When the inner rod 114 slides in the receiving groove 1130, it does not directly contact the receiving groove 1130, thereby avoiding wear caused by friction and increasing the service life of the inner rod 114.

[0051] A plug 1142 is also provided on the outer bushing 1140 . When the inner rod 114 is retracted into the receiving groove 1130 , the plug 1142 just closes the notch of the receiving groove 1130 , thereby effectively isolating dust, flying insects, etc.

[0052] The clothes drying rod 11 also includes a connecting component 112 for connecting to the traction rope 121, the connecting component 112 is connected to the receiving groove 1130, and a limiting protrusion 1122 is provided on the side of the connecting component 112 facing the receiving groove 1130, and the limiting protrusion 1122 is configured to limit the displacement of the inner rod 114 in the receiving groove 1130.

[0053] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 1122 extends into the receiving groove 1130 through the small hole reserved on the outer rod 113. Since there is a distance between the inner rod 114 and the receiving groove 1130, the limiting protrusion 1122 does not interfere with the sliding of the inner rod 114. When the inner rod 114 extends out of the receiving groove 1130, the inner sleeve 1141 at the end of the inner rod 114 will eventually abut against the limiting protrusion 1122. The inner sleeve 1141 and the inner rod 114 are snap-fitted as one, thereby limiting the inner rod 114 from sliding out of the receiving groove 1130, thereby increasing safety.

[0054] The connecting assembly 112 includes a connecting plate 1120 and a connecting member 1121. The avoidance opening 111 is arranged on the connecting plate 1120. The connecting member 1121 is movably connected to the avoidance opening 111 and includes a head 1123 at least partially exposed from the avoidance opening 111. The bottom of the avoidance groove 1051 is upwardly protruded corresponding to the position of the head 1123 to form a receiving portion 1053. In this arrangement, there is a certain height space between the head 1123 and the avoidance groove 1051, so that the connecting member 1121 can move in the height direction.

[0055] The highest point of the receiving portion 1053 is located at a position lower than the highest point of the avoidance groove 1051, and / or the lowest point of the pulley 122 in the vertical direction is defined to have a corresponding position on the avoidance groove 1051, and the receiving portion 1053 does not overlap with the corresponding position. The pulley 122 is not directly facing the receiving portion 1053, and the positions of the two are relatively staggered, which to a certain extent plays a role in making the clothes drying machine 100 thinner as a whole.

[0056] The pulley 122 is disposed in the receiving space 104 and is located above the connecting assembly 112. One end of the traction rope 121 is connected to the driving assembly 13, and the other end passes through the pulley 122 and is connected to the connecting assembly 112. In fact, in this embodiment, after passing through the pulley 122, the traction rope 121 passes through the through hole 1052 on the housing 10, is connected to the connecting member 1121, and is further connected to the connecting plate 1120, and the connecting plate 1120 is fixedly connected to the clothes drying rod 11. The traction rope 121 can drive the clothes drying rod 11 to move up and down under the drive of the driving assembly 13.

[0057] The lighting assembly 2 is installed in the second cavity 106 , and includes a light source assembly (not shown) and a mask 20 . The light source assembly is disposed on the substrate 101 , and two sides of the mask 20 are respectively connected to two coupling portions 1010 on the substrate 101 .

[0058] Specifically, the mask 20 includes a light emitting portion 201 and two extension portions 202 arranged on both sides of the light emitting portion 201 and extending toward the second cavity 106, each extension portion 202 is provided with a step-shaped bearing portion 2020 and a snap-fitting portion 2021, and each coupling portion 1010 includes an abutting portion 1011 abutting against the bearing portion 2020 and a snap-fitting portion 1012 snap-fitting with the snap-fitting portion 2021, thereby achieving fixation and positioning of the mask 20.

[0059] The mask 20 of the present invention is a borderless full-screen luminous mask. When the mask 20 and the housing 10 are snapped into place, the bottom of the mask 20 is flush with the bottom of the clothes drying rod 11, making the appearance of the clothes drying machine 100 more beautiful.

[0060] In other embodiments, the clothes drying machine 100 includes at least two clothes drying assemblies 1 , and the at least two clothes drying assemblies 1 are fixedly connected via a joint 3 .

[0061] See also Fig.11 As shown, this embodiment includes two clothes drying assemblies 1. Each clothes drying assembly 1 is provided with a separate motor 131, so each clothes drying assembly 1 can be independently controlled, and the two clothes drying rods 11 can be raised and lowered independently. The user can make the two clothes drying rods 11 stay at different heights as needed, so that the clothes can be staggered for drying, making full use of the sunlight without blocking it.

[0062] In summary, the clothes drying machine 100 of the utility model includes at least one clothes drying assembly 1, and the base plate 101 and the side wall 103 of the clothes drying assembly 1 are integrally formed, and a receiving space 104, a first cavity 105 and a second cavity 106 are formed at the same time, with a reasonable layout, a small number of parts, and cost saving. A traction assembly 12 is arranged in the receiving space 104, and the traction assembly 12 includes a traction rope 121 and a pulley 122. The clothes drying rod 11 is driven by the traction rope 121 to move in the vertical direction, so that the clothes drying rod 11 can be raised and lowered. A clearance opening 111 is provided at the position of the clothes drying rod 11 corresponding to the pulley 122, and the clearance opening 111 is configured to at least partially accommodate the pulley 122, so that the thickness of the clothes drying machine 100 is thinner.

[0063] 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, ordinary technicians in this field 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.
