Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drying racks, in particular to a drying rack that can be used against a wall. Background Art
[0002] In the context of the prior art, drying racks are common household items in daily life, which provide users with the convenience of drying socks and small clothes. However, the common drying racks on the market currently have certain limitations in design, and are not very convenient to use, especially when space is limited or when space needs to be saved.
[0003] The existing drying rack design mainly takes into account the drying function, but ignores the diversity of usage scenarios. Common main rack shapes include round, square, and hanger-shaped designs. The front and back sides of the main rack and the hooks are usually connected by equal-length ropes. These designs can better meet the drying needs when used in open spaces, but in cases where space is limited, especially when the drying rack needs to be hung behind a door, on a wall, or on a railing, there are obvious shortcomings.
[0004] When the drying rack is hung behind a door, on a wall or on a railing, due to the fixed position of the hook and the consistency of the rope length, when the hook is closer to the wall or other restrictive surface, the distance between the drying rack and the mounting surface will be uneven, causing the hook to deviate from the center of the main frame. This deviation will cause the force on the ropes on the front and back sides of the main frame to be unbalanced, with the rope on one side being taut and the rope on the other side being loose, eventually causing the main frame to tilt. The tilt of the main frame not only affects the convenience of drying, but may also cause the clothes to come into direct contact with the wall, which not only affects the drying effect, but may also cause the clothes to be contaminated with dust.
[0005] In addition, when the drying rack is hung behind a door, on a wall or on a railing, one side of the main frame will inevitably come into contact with the wall. Due to the obstruction of the wall, clothes can no longer be hung on this side of the main frame, resulting in a reduction in the amount of clothes that can be hung. This not only limits the use space of the drying rack, but also reduces the area that can be used to hang clothes, further reducing the efficiency of drying.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to further improve and perfect the prior art to overcome these deficiencies, and the present invention is made based on this situation. Utility Model Content

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0024] 1. An important innovation of the utility model is that a wall-holding part that can be pressed against the wall is designed on the rear side of the main frame. When the drying rack is hung behind a door or beside a wall, the wall-holding part plays a vital role. This part is intentionally left blank without any clips. Its main function is to cling to the wall to ensure the stability and balance of the drying rack. With this design, users can avoid clothes from hitting the wall during the drying process, thereby preventing clothes from being stained with dust and keeping clothes clean.
[0025] 2. Another important innovation of the utility model is the design of the hanging rope, especially the design of the difference in length between the rear rope and the front rope in the hanging rope. In this design, the length of the rear rope is deliberately designed to be shorter than the length of the front rope. When the drying rack is hung behind a door or by a wall, the advantages of this design are highlighted. Since the hook assembly is hung near the wall, the wall-contacting part of the drying rack directly contacts the wall, and this contact state makes the rear rope and the front rope reach a relatively balanced state when subjected to force. Specifically, since the rear rope is shorter, when the drying rack is hung against the wall, the front rope and the rear rope will be tightened at the same time, and this tightening effect promotes the force balance of the front and rear ropes. As a result, even if it is hung in an environment with limited space, the main frame can be roughly perpendicular to the wall. The effect of the main frame being perpendicular to the wall not only optimizes the utilization of the drying space, reduces the possibility of direct contact between the clothes and the wall during the drying process, but also improves the drying efficiency and convenience of use.
[0026] 3. Another important innovation of the present invention is the design of the inner rod. In order to further improve the functionality and space utilization of the drying rack, the present invention adds an innovative component, the inner rod, to the design of the main frame. This inner rod is located at the center of the main frame and is also equipped with multiple clips for hanging clothes. The introduction of the inner rod not only significantly increases the hanging capacity of the drying rack, allowing users to dry more clothes in a limited space, but also optimizes the overall structural design of the drying rack.

[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 The wall-mounted drying rack is designed to provide a convenient, efficient and space-saving way to dry clothes.
[0036] This drying rack specifically includes the following components:
[0037] A hook assembly 1, which can be hung on a clothes-drying rod, a clothes-drying line, etc.;
[0038] A main frame 2, the main frame 2 is located below the hook assembly 1, and the main frame 2 includes a wall-abutting portion 21 located at the rear side thereof and capable of abutting against a wall, and a hanging portion 22 located at the front side thereof and used for hanging clothes;
[0039] The hanging rope 4 includes a plurality of rear side ropes 41 connected between the rear side of the main frame 2 and the hook assembly 1, and a plurality of front side ropes 42 connected between the front side of the main frame 2 and the hook assembly 1, wherein the length of the rear side ropes 41 is less than the length of the front side ropes 42.
[0040] These hanging ropes 4 not only connect the hook assembly 1 and the main frame 2, but also give the entire drying rack more flexibility and adaptability. The hook assembly 1, the hanging rope 4 and the main frame 2 together constitute a flexible hanging system, which can naturally adjust the placement angle and position of the main frame 2 according to the specific location of the mounting point and the spatial environment.
[0041] In addition, in an outdoor environment with strong winds, the hanging rope 4 gives the main frame 2 a certain swing space, which can reduce the violent shaking caused by the wind. This not only protects the structure of the main frame 2, but also reduces the situation where clothes are entangled with each other due to excessive wind, ensuring that the clothes can be dried evenly.
[0042] The drying rack of the utility model is flexible in design and has a wide range of uses. It can not only be normally hung in an open position to fully utilize the space for drying clothes, but is also suitable for environments with limited space, such as behind doors and beside walls. This design enriches the use scenarios of the drying rack and meets the needs of different users.
[0043] An important innovation of the utility model is that a wall-abutting portion 21 that can be abutted against a wall is designed on the rear side of the main frame 2. When the drying rack is hung behind a door or beside a wall, the wall-abutting portion 21 plays a vital role. This design is intentionally left blank without any clips 3, and its main function is to cling to the wall to ensure the stability and balance of the drying rack. With such a design, users can avoid clothes from hitting the wall during the drying process, thereby preventing clothes from being stained with dust and keeping clothes clean.
[0044] Another important innovation of the present invention is the design of the hanging rope, especially the length difference design of the rear rope 41 and the front rope 42 in the hanging rope. In this design, the length of the rear rope 41 is deliberately designed to be shorter than the length of the front rope 42. This ingenious length difference design significantly enhances the adaptability of the drying rack in specific environments, such as behind a door or beside a wall, where space is limited.
[0045] In a normal hanging state, since the front rope 42 is longer than the rear rope 41, the main frame 2 will naturally tilt forward to a certain extent without any wall support, but this tilt is designed under the premise of not affecting its normal use function. This slight tilt allows the clothes to hang naturally, thereby maintaining a good ventilation and drying effect.
[0046] More importantly, when the drying rack is hung behind a door or by a wall, the advantages of this design become apparent. Since the hook assembly 1 is hung near the wall, the wall-abutting portion 21 of the drying rack is in direct contact with the wall. This contact state allows the rear side rope 41 and the front side rope 42 to reach a relatively balanced state when subjected to force. Specifically, since the rear side rope 41 is shorter, when the drying rack is hung against the wall, the front side rope 42 and the rear side rope 41 will be tightened at the same time. This tightening effect promotes the balanced force of the front and rear side ropes. As a result, even if the drying rack is hung in an environment with limited space, the main frame 2 can remain roughly perpendicular to the wall.
[0047] The effect of the main frame being perpendicular to the wall not only optimizes the use of the drying space and reduces the possibility of clothes directly contacting the wall during drying, but also improves drying efficiency and convenience. By cleverly adjusting the length of the hanging rope, the utility model successfully solves the challenges faced by traditional drying rack designs when used in confined spaces, providing a more flexible and efficient drying solution.
[0048] More specifically, the hanging portion 22 includes an outer peripheral rod 221 and an inner peripheral rod 222 disposed between the wall-abutting portion 21 and the outer peripheral rod 221 .
[0049] More specifically, the outer rod 221 includes a left side portion 2211 located on the left side, a right side portion 2212 located on the right side, and a front side portion 2213 located on the front side, and a plurality of clips 3 are hung on the left side portion 2211, the right side portion 2212, the front side portion 2213 and the inner rod 222, while the wall-aft portion 21 is not provided with clips 3.
[0050] Generally speaking, on the left and right sides of the main frame 2 are the left side portion 2211 and the right side portion 2212 respectively. Both parts are designed with multiple clips 3, which can conveniently clamp the clothes to keep the clothes flat and easy to dry. The front side of the main frame 2 is the front side portion 2213, which is also designed with multiple clips 3. The rear side of the main frame 2 is one or two or more wall-affecting portions 21, which are mainly used to cling to the wall to keep the drying rack stable. The wall-affecting portion 21 is not provided with any clips 3 because its main function is to serve as a support, against the wall, to ensure the stability of the entire main frame.
[0051] Another important innovation of the present invention is the design of the inner rod. In order to further improve the functionality and space utilization of the drying rack, the present invention adds an innovative component, the inner rod 222, to the design of the main frame 2. The inner rod is located at the center of the main frame and is also equipped with a plurality of clips 3 for hanging clothes. The introduction of the inner rod 222 not only significantly increases the hanging capacity of the drying rack, allowing users to dry more clothes in a limited space, but also optimizes the overall structural design of the drying rack.
[0052] The design of the inner rod 222 takes into account the key factors of weight distribution and stability. By arranging the inner rod in the middle of the main frame 2, the weight of the clothes when drying can be more evenly distributed. This weight distribution is not limited to the weight of the clothes that the inner rod 222 itself can carry, but also includes its positive impact on the weight distribution of the clothes hanging on the outer rod 221. The interaction between the inner rod 222 and the outer rod 221 helps to balance the weight on the drying rack, thereby improving the stability of the entire structure.
[0053] In addition, by providing the inner surrounding rod 222, the drying rack not only realizes more hanging space, but also ensures proper spacing between clothes, which is essential for improving drying efficiency and maintaining good ventilation conditions for clothes. Proper spacing between clothes ensures that air can circulate freely, thereby accelerating the drying process, reducing mutual shading between clothes, and making drying more efficient.
[0054] Although the main function of the wall-supporting portion 21 is not to hang clothes, by cleverly designing and adding an inner rod 222 in the main frame 2, the utility model not only realizes more hanging space, but also further considers the stability of the drying rack during use and the effectiveness of drying clothes.
[0055] In addition, hanging the drying rack behind a door or by a wall can make full use of the dead corners of the space and improve the utilization rate of the space. In these locations, the wall-supporting portion 21 does not need to hang clothes, while other locations are convenient for users to hang clothes. Such a design not only ensures the drying effect of clothes, but also facilitates the use of users.
[0056] In summary, the drying rack of the utility model realizes a convenient and practical function of drying clothes in an environment with limited space through a clever design. It can ensure that the clothes do not touch the wall and get dusty, and it is convenient for users to hang clothes, and is a very practical household item.
[0057] The specific connection structure of the inner rod 222 is as follows: In one design, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, both ends of the inner rod 222 are connected to the wall portion 21 and are bent forward. Figure 6As shown, both ends of the inner rod 222 are connected to the front side portion 2213 and are bent backwards.
[0058] It is worth noting that the inner rod 222 can be in the shape of an arc (such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 The embodiment 1 shown, Figure 5 Embodiment 3 shown), it can also be a half-mouth shape (such as Figure 4 The second embodiment shown, Figure 6 The left side portion 2211 and the right side portion 2212 may be straight rods in the front-to-back direction (such as Figure 6 Embodiment 4 shown), inclined rod (such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 The embodiment 1 shown, Figure 4 The second embodiment shown in the figure) can also be an arc rod (such as Figure 5 The wall-abutting portion 21 can be two short rods (such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown), it can also be a long rod (as shown Figure 6 As shown), it can also be composed of two point-shaped supporting points.
[0059] In further optimizing the design of the present invention, a significant improvement is to design the inner rod 222 and the outer rod 221 as a continuous annular rod. This design not only provides a smooth continuity visually, but more importantly, it brings significant advantages in the production and manufacturing process.
[0060] Designing the inner rod 222 and the outer rod 221 as a continuous ring structure means that the drying rack can be manufactured through a more simplified production process. The design of this ring rod reduces the number of parts required in the assembly process, and also reduces the possible docking points in the manufacturing process, thereby improving the overall strength and durability of the product. In traditional designs, multiple rods need to be connected by welding or screws, and these connection points are often weak links in strength and stability. By adopting a continuous ring rod design, these potential weak points are effectively eliminated, greatly improving the durability and service life of the drying rack.
[0061] In addition, the ring rod design also helps reduce production costs. Due to the reduction in processing steps and the number of parts, production efficiency is improved, while material waste is reduced, which is a cost benefit that cannot be ignored for manufacturers. The simplified design and production process not only helps speed up the launch of products, but also makes the products more price competitive in the market.
[0062] From a user experience perspective, a continuous ring rod provides a smoother and more uniform appearance, increasing the aesthetics of the product. At the same time, this design also allows clothes to be moved and adjusted more freely when drying, without being caught or damaged by sharp connection points that may exist in traditional designs, thus ensuring the safety and neatness of the clothes.
[0063] In general, by designing the inner rod 222 and the outer rod 221 as a continuous annular rod, the utility model has achieved significant advantages in improving production efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing product durability and aesthetics, further enhancing the product's market competitiveness and user satisfaction.
[0064] More specifically, the connection between the clip 3 of the present invention and the left side portion 2211, the right side portion 2212, the front side portion 2213 or the inner rod 222 is a movable connection, which means that the corresponding clip 3 can slide freely on these portions, and the user can fine-tune the position of the clip 3 as needed to better adapt to clothes of different sizes and shapes. This design not only provides greater flexibility, but also makes the drying process more convenient and efficient.
[0065] In order to achieve this movable connection, a hanging ear 31 is specially designed at the upper end of the clip 3. The hanging ear 31 is a small and strong component, which is inserted into the left side portion 2211, the right side portion 2212, the front side portion 2213 or the inner rod 222, so that the clip 3 can slide smoothly on these parts. At the same time, the design of the hanging ear 31 also ensures the stability and reliability of the clip 3. Even if the clothes are heavy or the wind is strong, the clip 3 will not fall off or shift easily.
[0066] Usually, the lifting ear 31 is a structure that can be opened and locked.
[0067] This movable connection design makes the use experience of the drying rack more excellent. The user can freely adjust the position of the clip 3 according to his own needs, whether it is drying large clothes or small items, a satisfactory effect can be obtained.
[0068] More specifically, a rotating connection structure is provided between the hook assembly 1 and the main frame 2, so that the main frame 2 can rotate horizontally. The rotating connection structure provides the main frame 2 with the ability to rotate horizontally. This rotation function greatly enhances the applicability of the drying rack, allowing it to flexibly adjust its position according to the needs of the user or the change of wind direction.
[0069] Furthermore, the hook assembly 1 is composed of a sturdy hook body 11, and a structurally stable base body 12 is integrated below it. A rotating disk 13 is cleverly installed below the base body 12. The base body 12 and the rotating disk 13 are rotatably connected (for example, connected by a bearing), and the rotating disk 13 can rotate at will without any additional tools or force. The main frame body 2 is connected (specifically, indirectly connected by a hanging rope 4) to the rotating disk 13, ensuring that the entire drying rack is both stable and flexible during use. This rotating connection structure not only allows the main frame body 2 to easily rotate 360 degrees, but also ensures the stability of the drying rack when it bears the weight of clothes. The user can easily adjust the direction of the drying rack as needed. For example, when the position of the sun changes, the direction of the drying rack can be easily adjusted to allow the clothes to better receive sunlight and accelerate the drying process.
[0070] More specifically, a hanging ring 131 is provided on the bottom surface of the rotating disk 13. The hanging ring 131 provides the user with the possibility of hanging additional hangers, thereby expanding the drying space, which is particularly suitable for drying small clothes such as socks and underwear, or hanging wind chimes, plants and other items when used outdoors.
[0071] Such a design allows the user to increase the amount of clothes to be dried without occupying the main drying space, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the drying rack. When the clothes on the main frame 2 are already full, the hanging ring 131 becomes particularly important, as it can help the user solve the problem of insufficient drying space. In addition, the design of the hanging ring 131 also takes into account users with limited indoor space, so that the clothes drying rack can maximize its efficiency even in a small balcony or outdoor space.
[0072] The hanging ring 131 also has a certain load-bearing capacity, so that it can be used to hang other items securely, and can even be used to hang wet towels or heavy clothes. In outdoor conditions, the hanging ring 131 can also be used to fix the drying rack, hang heavy objects or use a drawstring to fix it to prevent movement or tipping caused by wind.
