Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to a foldable horizontal drying rack drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Floor-standing clothes racks are one of the most popular drying devices on the market, and their structure is mainly composed of...

[0003] Currently, the most common floor-standing clothes racks on the market are classified according to the shape of their sides, mainly into X-shaped, herringbone, inverted Y-shaped, wing-shaped, and H-shaped.

[0004] As shown in Chinese utility model patents with publication numbers CN212357738U, CN209816519U, CN215518042U, CN209923646U, and CN210975253U, they all belong to the aforementioned floor-standing clothes drying racks. The existing floor-standing clothes drying racks mainly consist of horizontal drying rods and vertical support rods. However, although the above-mentioned clothes drying racks can all be folded, they are all folded in the front and back direction. They all have a common feature: the horizontal drying rods cannot be folded. This feature leads to a common disadvantage of existing clothes drying racks: they occupy a large amount of space in the horizontal direction.

[0005] Furthermore, even if some products have horizontal drying racks with telescopic tube structures, their shortened length is still at least the length of one tube. Although the space occupied in the horizontal direction is reduced, there is still room for further reduction. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable drying device with a horizontal drying rod that can save space in the lateral direction to the greatest extent, and at least solve one of the above-mentioned problems.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a foldable horizontal drying rack is provided, comprising at least:

[0008] A pair of vertical support rods, with their lower ends abutting against the external support surface;

[0009] A horizontal drying rack is installed at the upper end of a pair of vertical support rods;

[0010] The horizontal drying rack is foldable;

[0011] When the horizontal drying rack is folded, a pair of vertical support rods can move closer to each other.

[0012] Therefore, this utility model provides a novel drying device with a foldable horizontal drying rod. When not in use, the horizontal drying rod can be quickly folded to achieve the folding of the entire device in the horizontal direction. The folded state occupies very little space in the horizontal direction and is convenient to use.

[0013] In some embodiments, the horizontal drying rod includes a first drying rod, a second drying rod, a first connecting block, and a first sleeve. The first drying rod is hinged to one end of the first connecting block, and the second drying rod is hinged to the other end of the first connecting block. The first sleeve is movably fitted around the outer periphery of the first drying rod and / or the second drying rod. One of a pair of vertical support rods is connected to the first drying rod, and the other is connected to the second drying rod. When the first drying rod and the second drying rod are parallel, the first sleeve can move to the outer periphery of the first connecting block. At this time, the first sleeve is simultaneously fitted around the outer periphery of the first drying rod and the second drying rod.

[0014] Therefore, when folding is needed, the first sleeve is removed from the position of the first connecting block, allowing the first and second drying rods to rotate relative to the first connecting block. This, combined with the mutual closing of a pair of vertical support rods, completes the folding of the entire drying device. Conversely, when unfolding is needed, the first and second drying rods are first made parallel, and then the first sleeve is moved to the outer periphery of the first connecting block. At this point, the first sleeve simultaneously fits around the outer periphery of both the first and second drying rods. In this state, the first and second drying rods, along with the first sleeve, form a relatively long horizontal drying rod, which is the normal operating state and can support the items being dried. The folding point in this structure is located in the middle of the entire horizontal drying rod.

[0015] In some embodiments, the horizontal drying rod further includes a first hinge shaft and a second hinge shaft. One end of the first drying rod has a first opening that mates with a first connecting block, and one end of the second drying rod has a second opening that mates with the first connecting block. One end of the first connecting block is hinged to the first opening via the first hinge shaft, and the other end is hinged to the second opening via the second hinge shaft.

[0016] In some embodiments, the horizontal drying rack includes a tubular component and a folding mechanism. The folding mechanism includes a first rod and a second rod that are movably fitted inside the tubular component and hinged to each other. When the first rod and the second rod are parallel, the folding mechanism can move within the tubular component. Thus, in use, the folding mechanism is located inside the tubular component. When folding is needed, the folding mechanism is pulled out of the tubular component, exposing the hinge. At this time, the first and second rods can rotate relative to each other, and the folding of the entire drying device is completed by the mutual approach of a pair of vertical support rods. Conversely, when unfolding for use, the first and second rods are first made parallel, then the pair of vertical support rods are moved to the appropriate position, and finally the folding mechanism is retracted back into the tubular component.

[0017] In some embodiments, the horizontal drying rod further includes a limiting mechanism, which includes a third end cap fitted onto one end of the tubular member and a second sleeve fitted onto the outer periphery of the second rod-shaped member and engaging with the third end cap for limiting. Thus, the limiting mechanism can limit the travel of the folding mechanism, preventing the folding mechanism from being accidentally pulled completely out of the tubular member.

[0018] In some embodiments, the drying device with a foldable horizontal drying rod also includes a connecting mechanism, through which the vertical support rod is connected to the horizontal drying rod.

[0019] In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism includes a first connector that is movably fitted around the outer periphery of the horizontal drying rod, and the top end of the vertical support rod is fitted around the first connector.

[0020] In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism includes a first connector and a second connector, the first connector being movably fitted around the outer periphery of the horizontal drying rod, and the second connector being fitted around the top of the vertical support rod and hinged to the first connector.

[0021] In some embodiments, the vertical support rod includes a main rod, a connector, and legs. The top of the main rod is connected to the horizontal drying rod, and the bottom is connected to the connector. The legs are a pair, with the upper ends of the pair hinged to the connector and the lower ends able to abut against an external support surface. Thus, the vertical support rod in its unfolded state forms a Y-shape when viewed from the side to enhance overall stability. The pair of legs at the bottom can be brought closer together to close or unfolded away from each other in the front-back direction.

[0022] In some embodiments, a first end cap and a second end cap are provided at both ends of the horizontal drying rod.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] This utility model provides a novel drying device with a foldable horizontal drying rod. When not in use, the horizontal drying rod can be quickly folded to achieve the folding of the entire device in the horizontal direction. The folded state occupies very little space in the horizontal direction and is convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Figures 1-4 The diagram schematically illustrates a foldable horizontal drying rack according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the foldable horizontal drying rack includes at least the following components:

[0040] A pair of vertical support rods 1, with their lower ends abutting against the external support surface;

[0041] A horizontal drying rod 2 is installed at the upper end of a pair of vertical support rods 1;

[0042] The second horizontal drying rack is a foldable drying rack;

[0043] When the horizontal drying rod 2 is folded, a pair of vertical support rods 1 can move closer to each other.

[0044] The horizontal drying rod 2 includes a first drying rod 21, a second drying rod 22, a first connecting block 23, and a first sleeve 24. The first drying rod 21 is hinged to one end of the first connecting block 23, and the second drying rod 22 is hinged to the other end of the first connecting block 23. The first sleeve 24 is movably fitted around the outer periphery of the first drying rod 21 and / or the second drying rod 22. One of a pair of vertical support rods 1 is connected to the first drying rod 21, and the other is connected to the second drying rod 22. When the first drying rod 21 and the second drying rod 22 are parallel, the first sleeve 24 can move to the outer periphery of the first connecting block 23. At this time, the first sleeve 24 is fitted around the outer periphery of both the first drying rod 21 and the second drying rod 22.

[0045] The horizontal drying rod 2 also includes a first hinge shaft 25 and a second hinge shaft 26. One end of the first drying rod 21 has a first opening 211 that cooperates with the first connecting block 23. One end of the second drying rod 22 has a second opening 221 that cooperates with the first connecting block 23. One end of the first connecting block 23 is hinged to the first opening 211 through the first hinge shaft 25, and the other end is hinged to the second opening 221 through the second hinge shaft 26.

[0046] The foldable horizontal drying rack also includes a connecting mechanism 3, through which the vertical support rod 1 is connected to the horizontal drying rack 2.

[0047] The connecting mechanism 3 includes a first connector 31, a second connector 32, and a third hinge shaft 33. The first connector 31 is movably fitted onto the outer periphery of the horizontal drying rod 2, and the second connector 32 is fitted onto the top of the vertical support rod 1 and is hinged to the first connector 31 through the third hinge shaft 33.

[0048] The vertical support rod 1 includes a main rod 11, a connector 12, and leg rods 13. The top of the main rod 11 is connected to the horizontal drying rod 2, and the bottom is connected to the connector 12. The leg rods 13 are a pair, with the upper ends of the pair of leg rods 13 hinged to the connector 12 and the lower ends able to abut against the external support surface. Thus, the vertical support rod 1 in the unfolded state has a Y-shape when viewed from the side to enhance overall stability. The pair of leg rods 13 at the bottom can be brought closer together to close or unfolded away from each other in the front-back direction.

[0049] As shown in the figure, the drying device of this embodiment also includes an extension drying component 6 fitted around the outer periphery of the main pole 11, which is used to expand the drying space.

[0050] The working principle of this drying device is as follows:

[0051] In use state (e.g.) Figure 1 As shown), the first drying rod 21 and the second drying rod 22 are parallel, and the first sleeve 24 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the first connecting block 23; when folding is required, the first sleeve 24 is removed from the position of the first connecting block 23, so that it is fitted onto the outer periphery of the first drying rod 21 or the second drying rod 22, and the first drying rod 21 and the second drying rod 22 can then rotate relative to the first connecting block 23. With the mutual approach of a pair of vertical support rods 1, the entire drying device can be folded (as shown). Figure 2 (As shown in the diagram) When it needs to be restored to its usable state, first make the first drying rod 21 and the second drying rod 22 parallel, and then move the first sleeve 24 to the outer periphery of the first connecting block 23. At this time, the first sleeve 24 is simultaneously fitted onto the outer periphery of the first drying rod 21 and the second drying rod 22. In this state, the first drying rod 21, the second drying rod 22, and the first sleeve 24 form a relatively long horizontal drying rod 2. This state is the normal usable state and can support the clothes being dried. The folding point of this structure is located in the middle of the entire horizontal drying rod 2; the mutual approach or separation of the pair of vertical support rods 1 is achieved by the movement of their respective first connecting heads 31 along the first drying rod 21 or the second drying rod 22.

[0052] This utility model provides a novel drying device with a foldable horizontal drying rod 2. When not in use, the horizontal drying rod 2 can be quickly folded to achieve the folding of the entire device in the horizontal direction. The folded state occupies very little space in the horizontal direction and is convenient to use.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Figure 5 The diagram schematically illustrates a foldable horizontal drying rack according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] like Figure 5As shown, the structure of the foldable horizontal drying rack is basically the same as that of the foldable horizontal drying rack in Embodiment 1, except that the foldable horizontal drying rack in this embodiment also includes a shelf 7.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, the drying device of this embodiment also includes a shelf 7, which is disposed at the bottom of the vertical support rod 1 and mounted on the four legs 13. Therefore, the shelf 7 can be used to dry shoes and other items, improving the practicality of the device.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] Figures 6-10 The diagram schematically illustrates a foldable horizontal drying rack according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] like Figures 6-10 As shown, the structure of the foldable horizontal drying rack is basically the same as that of the foldable horizontal drying rack in Embodiment 2. The difference is that: (1) the structure of the horizontal drying rack 2 in this embodiment is different; (2) the structure of the connecting mechanism 3 is different.

[0060] The horizontal drying rack 2 of this embodiment includes a tubular member 27 and a folding mechanism 28. The folding mechanism 28 includes a first rod-shaped member 281 and a second rod-shaped member 282, which are movably fitted inside the tubular member 27 and hinged to each other via a fourth hinge shaft 283. When the first rod-shaped member 281 and the second rod-shaped member 282 are parallel, the folding mechanism 28 can move within the tubular member 27. Thus, in the usage state (e.g. Figure 6 The folding mechanism 28 (as shown) is located inside the tubular member 27. When folding is required, the folding mechanism 28 is pulled out from the tubular member 27, exposing the hinge. At this time, the first rod-shaped member 281 and the second rod-shaped member 282 can rotate relative to each other. With the mutual approach of a pair of vertical support rods 1, the folding of the entire drying device can be completed (as shown). Figure 8 (As shown). Conversely, when unfolding for use, first make the first rod-shaped member 281 and the second rod-shaped member 282 parallel, then move the pair of vertical support rods 1 to the appropriate position, and finally retract the folding mechanism 28 back into the tubular member 27.

[0061] The horizontal drying rod 2 also includes a limiting mechanism 29, which includes a third end cap 291 fixedly fitted to one end of the tubular member 27 and a second sleeve 292 fixedly fitted to the outer periphery of the second rod-shaped member 282 and limited in fit with the third end cap 291. The diameter of the central hole of the third end cap 291 is larger than the outer diameter of the first rod-shaped member 281 and the second rod-shaped member 282. Thus, the limiting mechanism 29 can both ensure the extension and retraction of the folding mechanism 28 and limit the stroke of the folding mechanism 28, preventing the folding mechanism 28 from being accidentally pulled completely out of the tubular member 27.

[0062] The first end cap 4 is fixedly fitted onto the end of the first rod-shaped member 281 away from the second rod-shaped member 282, while the second end cap 5 is fitted onto the end of the tubular member 27 away from the folding mechanism 28. The folding mechanism 28 can be pulled out of the tubular member 27 through the first end cap 4.

[0063] In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 3 includes only a first connector 31. The first connector 31 is movably fitted onto the outer periphery of the horizontal drying rod 2, and the top end of the vertical support rod 1 is fitted onto the first connector 31. The first connector 31 is movably fitted onto the outer periphery of the tubular member 27. When the folding mechanism 28 is pulled out, it can naturally move to fit onto the outer periphery of the first rod-shaped member 281 (e.g., Figure 9 , Figure 10 (As shown).

[0064] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
