Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clothes drying machines, in particular to a clothes drying machine. Background Art
[0002] As an indispensable part of modern family life, the performance and design of clothes drying machine are of great significance to improving the quality and convenience of family life. Modern home pays attention to the combination of beauty and practicality. However, the traditional clothes drying machine design is often thicker, which makes the clothes drying machine look bulky and not beautiful. Since the pulley and the clothes drying rod are stacked in height, the thickness of the whole machine can be reduced by sacrificing the pulley diameter or the height of the clothes drying rod to improve the appearance of the clothes drying machine.
[0003] As the main component of the clothes drying machine, the clothes drying rod needs to have enough hanging holes and a force-bearing structure cavity to ensure the stable hanging and load-bearing capacity of the clothes. In other words, the height compression margin of the clothes drying rod is limited, which limits the possibility of reducing the thickness of the whole machine by compressing the height of the clothes drying rod. Therefore, the solution to reduce the thickness of the whole machine is more focused on compressing the pulley diameter.
[0004] However, in the design of traditional clothes drying machines, the smaller pulley diameter will result in a too small bending radius of the steel rope, increasing the internal stress of the steel rope, thereby shortening its service life. Therefore, how to reduce the pulley diameter while maintaining the service life of the steel rope has become a technical problem.

[0031] 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.
[0032] 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.
[0033] 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.
[0034] See also Figures 1 to 7As shown, the utility model provides a clothes drying machine 100, including a main unit 1, a clothes drying rod 2 and a traction rope 3. The main unit 1 is used to be installed on a mounting base, and serves as a support and control center of the entire clothes drying machine 100. The main unit 1 is provided with a shell 16 to prevent dust from entering the main unit 1 and protect the components in the main unit 1. The shell 16 specifically includes a frame 161 arranged around the main unit 1, and a top surface 162 and a bottom surface 163 arranged up and down. The main unit 1 is installed on a mounting surface through the top surface, and the mounting surface is generally a ceiling or a wall, etc. The clothes drying rod 2 is located below the main unit 1, is used for drying clothes, and is connected to the main unit 1 through the traction rope 3.
[0035] Preferably, two groups of connecting structures 21 are respectively provided on both sides of the clothesline 2, and a accommodating cavity is formed between the two groups of connecting structures 21. One end of the traction rope 3 is limitedly accommodated in the accommodating cavity of the connecting structure 21, so that the traction rope 3 is always firmly connected to the connecting structure 21, avoiding the safety hazard of the clothesline 2 falling and improving the safety performance of the clothes drying machine 100.
[0036] The main body 1 is provided with a rope winding part 11, a guide 12 and a load-bearing wheel 13. One end of the traction rope 3 is fixed to the rope winding part 11, and the other end is connected to the clothes drying rod 2 vertically downward after passing through the guide 12 and the load-bearing wheel 13 in sequence; specifically, the traction rope 3 is limitedly accommodated in the accommodating cavity of the connecting structure 21 after passing through the load-bearing wheel 13. The rope winding part 11 is responsible for controlling the retraction and release of the traction rope 3, realizing the lifting and lowering of the clothes drying rod 2, and facilitating the drying of clothes at different heights.
[0037] Preferably, two guide members 12 and two load-bearing wheels 13 are provided in the main unit 1. The two load-bearing wheels 13 are respectively arranged near the ends of the main unit 1. The weight of the clothes drying rod 2 is shared by the two load-bearing wheels 13, which effectively reduces the load-bearing burden of a single load-bearing wheel 13 and reduces the risk of damage to the load-bearing wheel 13. The two guide members 12 are respectively arranged between the rope winding part 11 and the load-bearing wheels 13 to guide and support the traction rope 3 to ensure its stable transmission. In addition, the two guide members 12 and the two load-bearing wheels 13 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the clothes drying machine. The symmetrical layout allows the traction rope 3 to be evenly stressed during the transmission process, avoiding deviation or wear caused by uneven stress, and improving the overall structural stability and load-bearing balance of the clothes drying machine 100.
[0038] Furthermore, there is an angle between the entry section 31 of the traction rope 3 entering the load-bearing wheel 13 through the guide member 12 and the exit section 32 of the traction rope 3 passing through the load-bearing wheel 13. The angle is an obtuse angle, which increases the bending radius of the traction rope 3 and is beneficial to extending the service life of the traction rope 3.
[0039] In this embodiment, the guide member 12 is used to guide the direction of the traction rope 3 to ensure the stability of the traction rope 3 during the transmission process; the load-bearing wheel 13 bears the load-bearing function of the traction rope 3 to ensure the stable lifting and lowering of the clothes drying rod 2. There is an obtuse angle between the entry section 31 of the traction rope 3 entering the load-bearing wheel 13 through the guide member 12 and the exit section 32 of the traction rope 3 winding out of the load-bearing wheel 13, so that when the traction rope 3 bends at a larger angle, the bending radius will be relatively large, that is, the traction rope 3 covers a longer arc during the bending process. The clothes drying machine 100 can optimize the bending path of the traction rope 3 by reasonably arranging the position of the guide member 12. There is an angle greater than ninety degrees between the entry section 31 of the traction rope 3 entering the load-bearing wheel 13 through the guide member 12 and the exit section 32 of the traction rope 3 winding out of the load-bearing wheel 13, thereby increasing the bending radius, reducing the stress concentration of the traction rope 3, and extending its service life.
[0040] The reduction in the diameter of the load-bearing wheel 13 will cause the bending radius of the traction rope 3 to become smaller, increase the internal stress of the traction rope 3, and thus shorten the service life of the traction rope 3. The clothes drying machine 100 adopts a blunt-angle structural design, which can increase the bending radius of the traction rope 3. On this basis, the diameter of the load-bearing wheel 13 is appropriately reduced to ensure that the bending radius of the traction rope 3 is maintained within a normal range. Such a design can reduce the diameter of the load-bearing wheel 13 to about 60% of the original value. For example, under normal circumstances, the diameter of the load-bearing wheel 13 without this structural design is between 16 and 20 mm, and the diameter of the load-bearing wheel 13 with this structural design can be 11 to 15 mm, and the diameter of the load-bearing wheel 13 can usually be reduced to 12 to 14 mm. In other words, the use of this structural design can reduce the diameter of the load-bearing wheel 13 while maintaining the normal service life of the traction rope 3, so as to make the overall thickness of the clothes drying machine 100 thinner.
[0041] In this embodiment, the guide member 12 is a guide wheel, which is fixedly connected to the main unit 1 through a guide bracket 14 to ensure that the guide wheel is installed stably and is convenient and flexible to rotate. Preferably, the height of the highest point of the guide wheel is higher than the height of the highest point of the load-bearing wheel 13, so that an obtuse angle is formed between the entry section 31 of the traction rope 3 entering the load-bearing wheel 13 through the guide member 12 and the exit section 32 of the traction rope 3 passing through the load-bearing wheel 13, thereby increasing the bending radius of the traction rope 3.
[0042] Furthermore, the guide wheel is arranged between the rope winding part 11 and the load-bearing wheel 13. After the traction rope 3 is released from the rope winding part 11, it will first be guided by the guide wheel and then be wound around the load-bearing wheel. The guide wheel can smoothly guide the transmission of the traction rope 3, reduce the friction and bending stress of the traction rope 3 during the transmission process, and extend the service life of the traction rope 3. At the same time, the existence of the guide wheel ensures that the transmission direction of the traction rope 3 is stable and accurate, avoiding the reduction of transmission efficiency or the increase of failure risk due to path bending or deviation.
[0043] The load-bearing wheel 13 is the main load-bearing component, and its position is relatively fixed. When the weight of the clothes drying rod 2 is large, the load-bearing wheel 13 may be deformed due to the excessive gravity. Therefore, the guide wheel can be arranged close to the load-bearing wheel 13 relative to the rope winding part 11. The guide wheel close to the load-bearing wheel can better support and guide the traction rope 3, share the tension of the traction rope 3, and reduce the load-bearing pressure of the load-bearing wheel 13. At the same time, by arranging the guide wheel and the load-bearing wheel 13 relatively close to each other, the functionality of the clothes drying machine 100 can be ensured while making its structure compact and reducing its occupied space.
[0044] Furthermore, the load-bearing wheel 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the main unit 1 through a load-bearing bracket 15, and the guide bracket 14 and the load-bearing bracket 15 do not overlap, so as to disperse the force and ensure the structural stability of the clothes drying machine 100. The guide bracket 14 and the load-bearing bracket 15 each have different functions: the guide bracket 14 is used to fix the guide wheel to ensure the smooth transmission of the traction rope 3; and the load-bearing bracket 15 is responsible for supporting the load-bearing wheel and bearing the weight of the traction rope and the clothes drying rod. If the guide bracket 14 and the load-bearing bracket 15 overlap, the structural strength may be insufficient due to the concentrated force, thereby affecting the stability and service life of the clothes drying machine 100. At the same time, the non-overlapping design is conducive to optimizing the internal space layout of the clothes drying machine 100, so that the guide bracket 14 and the load-bearing bracket 15 can each occupy a more suitable position to avoid mutual interference.
[0045] In other embodiments, the guide member 12 may also be a guide channel (not shown in the figure), which is fixedly connected to the main unit 1. The guide channel can protect the traction rope 3 from erosion and damage by the external environment, and prolong its service life. At the same time, the smooth inner wall of the guide channel can reduce the friction between the traction rope 3 and the guide channel, reduce energy consumption, and improve transmission efficiency.
[0046] Specifically, the guide channel includes a guide end close to the load-bearing wheel 13, and the height of the lowest point of the guide end is higher than the height of the highest point of the load-bearing wheel 13, so as to ensure that an obtuse angle is formed between the entry section 31 of the traction rope 3 entering the load-bearing wheel 13 through the guide member 12 and the exit section 32 of the traction rope 3 passing through the load-bearing wheel 13, thereby increasing the bending radius of the traction rope 3. Such a design enables the traction rope 3 to form a reasonable transmission path when passing through the guide channel and the load-bearing wheel 13, and the traction rope 3 can maintain a certain tension and stability under the restriction of the guide channel, thereby ensuring the smooth lifting and lowering of the clothes drying rod 2.
[0047] In summary, the clothes drying machine 100 of the present invention optimizes the bending path of the traction rope 3 by reasonably arranging the position of the guide member 12, so that the angle between the entry section 31 of the traction rope 3 entering the load-bearing wheel 13 through the guide member 12 and the exit section 32 of the traction rope 3 passing through the load-bearing wheel 13 is greater than ninety degrees, thereby increasing the bending radius of the traction rope 3, reducing the stress concentration of the traction rope 3, and extending its service life. Compared with the prior art, the clothes drying machine 100 of the present invention has a larger bending angle when in use through a reasonable structural design, thereby increasing the bending radius of the traction rope 3.
[0048] 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.
