For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] Combined with Figure 1-6 As shown, a foldable clothes dryer support comprises a top support frame 1, a bottom support frame 2, a folding structure 3 and a vertical rod 4;

[0033] The top support frame 1 and the bottom support frame 2 have the same structure and are arranged opposite to each other. When arranged, the top support frame 1 is located above the bottom support frame 2 and a certain distance is set between the two.

[0034] Furthermore, the top support frame 1 is connected to the bottom support frame 2 via a vertical rod 4, and the vertical rod 4 is rotatably connected to the top support frame 1 and the bottom support frame 2 respectively.

[0035] During implementation, the support frame is a rectangular frame structure, and the support frame includes a cross bar 10 and a longitudinal bar 11. In this embodiment, the longitudinal bar 11 is a plastic part, which can further improve its aesthetics while ensuring its strength and stability; the two ends of the longitudinal bar 11 are connected with a folding structure 12, and the folding structure 12 and the longitudinal bar 11 are integrally formed to ensure its strength in use. The longitudinal bar 11 is plugged with the cross bar 10 through the folding structure 12, and the lower part of the folding structure 12 is plugged with the vertical bar 4;

[0036] Specifically, the folding structure 2 12 includes a fixing member 121 and a rotating member 3 122. The fixing member 121 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal rod 11 and plugged into the transverse rod 10. The fixing member 121 realizes the connection between the transverse rod 10 and the longitudinal rod 11 to form a support frame structure. The rotating member 3 122 cooperates with the fixing member 121 and realizes the rotation connection between the two through a pin 123. The upper end of the rotating member 3 122 is located in the fixing member 121. The pin 123 passes through the fixing member 121 and the rotating member 3 122 to realize the rotation connection between the two.

[0037] During use, the two ends of the cross bar 10 are respectively plugged into the fixing parts 121 at the corresponding ends of the longitudinal bar 11, thereby realizing the assembly of the support frame. At the same time, through the plugging of the vertical bar 4 and the rotating part 3 122, the rotation between the vertical bar 4 and the support frame can be realized, thereby realizing the folding function between the vertical bar 4 and the support frame.

[0038] Furthermore, a locking block 13 which is slidably connected to the folding structure 12 is provided on the cross bar 10 , and a slanting rod 14 which is rotatably connected to the locking block 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the folding structure 12 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the locking block 13 is provided with an insert block which can be inserted into the fixing member 121, the insert block is provided with an elastic buckle, and the fixing member 121 is provided with a slot which cooperates with the elastic buckle. When the elastic buckle cooperates with the slot, the locking block 13 abuts against the fixing member 121. At this time, through the support of the oblique rod 14, the vertical rod 4 and the support frame are in a vertical state, and through the clamping connection between the locking block 13 and the fixing member 121, the stability of the vertical state between the vertical rod 4 and the support frame can be ensured.

[0040] During implementation, when it is necessary to fold and retract the vertical rod 4 and the support frame, the elastic buckle is pressed to separate from the card slot, and then the vertical rod 4 and the support frame are operated to fold. At this time, the locking block 13 moves along the cross bar 10 toward the end away from the fixing member 121 to complete the folding operation between the vertical rod 4 and the support frame.

[0041] The middle parts of the vertical rods 4 are connected via a folding structure 3. By setting the folding structure 3, the rotation between the vertical rods 4 connected to the folding structure 3 can be realized, thereby realizing the folding operation between the vertical rods 4.

[0042] Specifically, the folding structure 3 includes a rotating member 301 and a rotating member 302. The rotating member 301 is provided with a sleeve 303 which is sleeved with the vertical rod 4. The rotating member 302 is provided with a sleeve 304 which is sleeved with the vertical rod 4. The rotating member 301 is provided with a rotating fastener 305 which is inserted into the rotating member 302.

[0043] In this embodiment, the rotating member 1 301 and the rotating member 2 302 are rotationally matched. Specifically, the rotating member 1 301 is coaxially provided with a rotating fastener 305, and the rotating member 2 302 is coaxially provided with a socket. The rotating fastener 305 is inserted into the socket and its end is clamped with the rotating member 302, thereby realizing a movable connection between the rotating member 1 301 and the rotating member 2 302, and further realizing the rotational cooperation between the rotating member 1 301 and the rotating member 2 302.

[0044] In this embodiment, a limiting column 306 is further included. The limiting column 306 is a columnar structure. One end of the limiting column 306 passes through the insertion hole and is inserted into the rotating fastener 305 and is adapted to the rotating fastener 305 .

[0045] At the same time, due to the arrangement of sleeve 1 303 on rotating member 1 301 and sleeve 2 304 on rotating member 2 302, when the bracket is in the unfolded state, the vertical rods 4 on the upper and lower sides of the folding structure 1 3 are coaxially arranged, and the ends of sleeve 1 303 and sleeve 2 304 abut against each other, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the folding structure 1 3.

[0046] Furthermore, the sleeve is arranged on one side of the rotating member. During implementation, by setting the sleeve on the position of the rotating member, the folding direction of the vertical rod 4 can be controlled. In this embodiment, the sleeve is arranged on the side of the rotating member close to the inner side of the bracket, which can ensure that the vertical rod 4 is folded toward the inner side of the bracket.

[0047] In addition, during setting, the folding structure 12 at one end of the bracket and the folding structure 12 at the other end of the bracket realize the staggered setting of the vertical rods 4, so that when the vertical rods 4 are rotated and folded to be parallel, there is no interference between adjacent vertical rods 4.

[0048] Specifically, the rotating member 3 122 in the folding structure 12 at one end is staggered with the rotating member 3 122 in the folding structure 12 at the other end, thereby realizing the staggered arrangement of the vertical rods at both ends of the bracket. When the vertical rods 4 are folded, it can be ensured that there is no interference between the vertical rods 4 on the same side of both ends of the bracket, thereby ensuring the folding function of the bracket.

[0049] A support rod structure 5 is clamped between the top support frames 1. Specifically, the support rod structure 5 includes a connecting rod 501 and buckles 502 arranged at both ends of the connecting rod 501. The buckle 502 is clamped with the middle part of the longitudinal rod 11.

[0050] The connecting rod 1 501 is arranged along the direction of the cross bar 10 , and the overall structural strength and stability of the top support frame 1 are ensured by the clamping arrangement of the buckles 1 502 at both ends of the connecting rod 1 501 and the longitudinal bar 11 .

[0051] Furthermore, a plurality of hanging rods 15 are connected between the longitudinal rods 11, and a plurality of hanging rods 15 are connected between the longitudinal rods 11 in the top support frame 1, so that clothes can be hung conveniently.

[0052] At the same time, a plurality of hanging rods 15 may also be provided between the longitudinal rods 11 in the bottom support frame 2 to ensure the overall structural strength and stability of the bottom support frame 2 .

[0053] The folding structures 3 on either side are connected via a fixing rod 6, and the fixing rod 6 is connected to the corresponding folding structure 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure while ensuring the rotation function of the folding structure 3.

[0054] A support rod structure 2 7 is clamped on the folding structure 1 3 on the other side. Specifically, the support rod structure 2 7 includes a connecting rod 2 701 and buckles 2 702 arranged at both ends of the connecting rod 2 701 , and the buckles 2 702 are clamped with the corresponding folding structure 1 3 .

[0055] Specifically, the buckle 2 702 is located on the rotating side of the folding structure 3 and is clipped with the folding structure 3. The connecting rod 2 701 is connected to the buckle 2 702, which can support and fix the folding structure 3 to avoid malfunction of the folding structure 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the bracket.

[0056] The fixing rod 6 and the supporting rod structure 2 7 are clamped with a supporting rod structure 3 8. Specifically, the supporting structure 3 8 is similar to the supporting structure 2 7. The supporting structure 3 8 is clamped with the fixing rod 6 and the supporting rod structure 2 7. The support of both ends of the bracket is achieved through the supporting structure 3 8, which further ensures the coordination between the supporting rod structure 2 7 and the folding structure 1 3, avoids malfunction of the folding structure 1 3, and ensures the stability of its overall structure.

[0057] The bottom four corners of the bottom support frame 2 are provided with universal wheels 9, and the universal wheels 9 have a braking function. When in use, the universal wheels 9 can be used to move the support.

[0058] In the specific implementation of the utility model, when the bracket is in the folded state, during the unfolding process, by pulling the top support frame 1 upward, the vertical rod 4 is connected through the folding structure 13 and its end is rotatably connected with the support frame, so that the vertical rod 4 can be rotated to a vertical setting state with the support frame. At this time, the locking block 13 is engaged with the fixing member 121 to maintain the vertical setting state between the vertical rod 4 and the support frame;

[0059] Then, the support rod structure 2 7 is clamped with the corresponding folding structure 1 3, and the two ends of the support rod structure 3 8 are clamped with the fixing rod 6 and the support rod structure 2 7 respectively to fix the folding structure 1 3. At the same time, the support rod structure 1 5 is clamped with the longitudinal rod 11 in the top support frame 1 to complete the unfolding of the bracket.

[0060] When the bracket is folded, the support rod structure 1 5, the support rod structure 3 8 and the support rod structure 2 7 are first removed in sequence, and then the locking blocks 13 at the top support frame 1 and the bottom support frame 2 are separated from the corresponding folding structure 2 12, and then the top support frame 1 is moved downward. At this time, the vertical rod 4 is rotated in a horizontal V shape toward the inside of the bracket through the folding structure 1 3, thereby realizing the folding operation of the bracket.

[0061] The above description of the utility model and its implementation methods is not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the invention of the utility model, they should all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
