Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of clothes drying supports, in particular to a clothes drying machine. Background Art

[0002] Traditional clothes drying machines are usually equipped with clothes drying rods for hanging clothes. However, in order to meet the drying needs of more families, especially for drying quilts, some clothes drying machine designs have added quilt drying rods. Although this design has solved the problem of insufficient drying area to a certain extent, it has also brought some new problems. First of all, as an additional component of the clothes drying machine, the quilt drying rod will increase the production cost. The material, processing and assembly of the quilt drying rod will increase the complexity of production, thereby leading to an increase in the overall cost. Secondly, when the quilt drying rods are not in use, they are often hung on the clothes drying machine, affecting the neatness and uniformity of the overall appearance. Utility Model Content
