Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of equipment of a clothes drying machine, in particular to a rod docking structure of a clothes automatic integration and dispersion system. Background Art

[0002] Our company is committed to developing an innovative automatic clothing integration and dispersion system, which cleverly combines the functions of a clothes drying machine and a smart wardrobe, aiming to achieve automation and efficiency in clothing processing.

[0003] The automatic clothes integration and distribution system includes a drying unit and a storage unit. The drying unit includes a drying main unit and a lifting drying assembly, and the drying assembly includes a drying rod and a plurality of hanging parts connected in sequence by ropes and movable along the drying rod. The drying main unit is provided with a transmission mechanism and a separation and cooperation part.

[0004] The separation and combination component moves along the drying main body under the action of the transmission mechanism to act on the hanging parts in different directions to achieve the closeness and dispersion of the hanging parts. The storage unit includes a storage closet and a docking clothes hanging rod. When the docking clothes hanging rod is in the first position, the docking clothes hanging rod extends out of the storage closet and docks with the drying rod, and the hanging part separation and combination component transfers the hanging parts between the docking clothes hanging rod and the drying rod. In the second position, the docking clothes hanging rod is separated from the drying rod and enters the storage closet.

[0005] The core idea is that after clothes are naturally dried in the clothes drying machine, they can be seamlessly transferred to the wardrobe for further automatic drying or deep sterilization treatment, ensuring that the clothes are both dry and hygienic.

[0006] This system not only greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of clothing processing, but also brings users unprecedented hygiene and comfort experience. In view of the closed design of the end of the traditional drying rod slide rail. For the above-mentioned clothing processing system, we need to design the docking structure of the end of the drying rod to provide a safe and flexible mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a rod docking structure and a docking method for a clothing automatic integration and dispersion system.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: a rod docking structure of the automatic clothing integration and dispersion system, including a first drying rod assembly and a second drying rod assembly;

[0009] The first air-drying rod assembly comprises a first air-drying rod having a first track and a first docking member located at the rear end of the first air-drying rod;

[0010] The second air-drying rod assembly comprises a second air-drying rod having a second track and a second docking piece located at the front end of the second air-drying rod;

[0011] The first docking member includes a base and a lever member pivotally connected to an end of the base. The base is provided with two spaced-apart guiding walls on the front side of the lever member. A combining groove is formed between the two guiding walls, and a first combining portion is provided at the bottom of the combining groove.

[0012] The second docking member includes an insert matching the combining groove and a holding piece extending beyond the front end of the insert and located above the insert. The holding piece is used to cooperate with the lever member. A second combining portion and an elastically movable pin are sequentially provided on the lower side of the insert from the end. The first combining portion and the second combining portion are mutually matching concave-convex structures. When the concave-convex structures are combined, the first drying rod assembly and the second drying rod assembly are restricted from moving relative to each other in the length direction.

[0013] When the first drying rod assembly and the second drying rod assembly are separated, the lever member tilts downward and extends into the first track to block inside the first track opening, and the elastically movable pin extends downward to block outside the second track opening of the second track.

[0014] When the first drying rod assembly and the second drying rod assembly are docked, the insert enters the combining groove along the guiding wall. The first combining portion and the second combining portion are combined. The holding piece presses down the lever member, and the lower end of the lever member rotates upward and away from the first track opening. The elastically movable pin is squeezed and retracts upward and away from the second track opening. The first track and the second track are docked and communicate with each other.

[0015] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve the above technical problems is that the width of the guiding wall is greater than the width of the insert at least at the upper opening. The first combining portion is a transverse convex rib extending along a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the first drying rod, and the second combining portion is a transverse groove extending along a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the second drying rod.

[0016] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve the above technical problems is that the cross-sectional shape of the transverse convex rib is triangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the transverse groove is an inverted triangle.

[0017] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve the above technical problems is that the inner side of the guiding wall includes a guiding inclined surface that slopes from the outside to the inside from top to bottom. The guiding inclined surfaces of the two guiding walls are inclined relative to each other to form an upwardly flared guiding structure.

[0018] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve the above technical problems is that the end of the first drying rod is provided with a first insertion groove located above the first track. The first insertion groove includes first slot walls on both sides, and the front side of the first insertion groove communicates downward with the first track.

[0019] The first docking member is inserted into the first insertion groove; when there is no downward acting force on the rear end of the lever member, the front end of the lever member extends downward from the front end of the first insertion groove into the first track.

[0020] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve the above technical problem is: the first engaging portion is arranged at the outermost end of the bottom of the engaging groove, and the elastic pin is pressed by the bottom wall of the first insertion groove.

[0021] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve the above technical problem is: the bottom wall of the first insertion groove is provided with a first limiting rib extending along the length direction, and the bottom of the first docking member is provided with a first limiting groove matching the first limiting rib, and the first limiting rib is matched with the first limiting groove;

[0022] The upper edge of the first slot wall is provided with a folded wall bent inward, and the guiding wall is inserted into the space below the folded wall in a matching manner;

[0023] When the first drying rod assembly and the second drying rod assembly are docked, the abutting piece abuts against the upper surface of the folded wall and acts on the rear end of the lever member that is upturned through the lower surface.

[0024] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve the above technical problem is: the first end face of the first slot wall is located inside the second end face of the first track, and the rear end of the guiding wall forms a blocking head;

[0025] The blocking head abuts against the first end face of the first slot wall, the inner side face of the blocking head is continuous with the inner side face of the guiding wall, and the upper surface of the blocking head is flush with the upper surface of the first slot wall.

[0026] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve the above technical problem is: the front end of the second drying rod is provided with a second insertion groove located above the second track, and the second insertion groove includes second slot walls on both sides;

[0027] When the first drying rod assembly and the second drying rod assembly are docked, the upper surfaces of the first slot wall and the second slot wall are at the same height;

[0028] The bottom wall of the first insertion groove is provided with a second limiting rib extending along the length direction, and the bottom of the insert is provided with a second limiting groove matching the second limiting rib, and the second limiting rib is matched with the second limiting groove;

[0029] The rear end of the insert is inserted into the second insertion groove; the abutting piece is placed on the upper surface of the second slot wall, and the abutting piece, the insert and the second drying rod are connected up and down by a positioning member.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that a stable interlocking system is constructed through the precise cooperation between the concave-convex structure of the first joint part and the second joint part. This design not only effectively prevents the relative movement and dislocation of the two clothes drying rods under the action of wind or external force, but also significantly improves the structural stability of the entire docking system.

[0031] The interlocking in the length direction can prevent the failure of the lever member caused by the abutting piece and the failure of the elastic pin caused by the rear end of the first drying rod assembly. The two guide walls can prevent the movement of the insert in the lateral position, further preventing the failure of the docking.

[0032] When the clothes-drying rods are connected, the limit mechanism and the unblocking structure of the track work together to achieve connection of the tracks when connected, and jointly build a highly coordinated hanging point switching mechanism, laying a smooth and continuous sliding path for the hanging parts, ensuring that the clothes can smoothly switch positions on the two clothes-drying rods. It also provides a physical basis for setting up an automated suspension part dispersion, closure and transfer mechanism between the two clothes-drying rods, laying a solid foundation for the expansion and upgrade of system automation.

[0033] In addition, separation and closure are achieved, so that the hanging parts on the corresponding tracks are prevented from falling off the tracks after the two clothes-drying rods are separated. In other words, this rod docking structure can ensure the stable movement and switching of the hanging parts in the tracks, and at the same time, the ends of the tracks can be blocked at the moment of separation, effectively preventing the hanging parts from sliding outwards, and ensuring that the clothes are safely fixed on the clothes-drying rods.

[0048] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are only descriptive and exemplary, and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present invention.

[0050] Such as Figures 1-3As shown, the rod docking structure 200 of the automatic clothing integration and dispersion system 100 provided in this embodiment is applicable to the docking of two independent modules in the automatic clothing integration and dispersion system 100. To facilitate the understanding of the rod docking structure 200 system, the automatic clothing integration and dispersion system 100 will be introduced before elaborating on the rod docking structure 200. However, the following introduction to the implementation manner of the automatic clothing integration and dispersion system 100 should not be regarded as a limitation to the rod docking structure 200 of the automatic clothing integration and dispersion system 100 of this patent. Those skilled in the art can apply the rod docking structure 200 to any automatic clothing integration and dispersion system 100 with the intention of double-rod docking through some conventional technical means in the art.

[0051] As Figures 1-2 shown, the automatic clothing integration and dispersion system 100 includes a first clothing hanging unit 101 and a second clothing hanging unit 102. In this embodiment, the first clothing hanging unit 101 is an intelligent clothes dryer installed on the roof wall; the second clothing hanging unit 102 is a clothing storage and processing device. The intelligent clothes dryer includes a main unit 1 and a clothes drying rack that can be lifted up and down. The clothes drying rack includes a first drying rod assembly 2. The first drying rod assembly 2 is suspended by a steel wire rope, so there will be a slight shaking phenomenon without external force. The clothing storage and processing device includes a cabinet 3 and a second drying rod assembly 4. The second drying rod assembly 4 has a first position state and a second position state.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, in the first position state, the second drying rod assembly 4 extends out of the cabinet 3 and docks with the first drying rod assembly 2. In the second position state, the second drying rod assembly 4 disengages from the first drying rod assembly 2 and enters the cabinet 3. Such a docking method is to transfer clothes between the clothes dryer and the clothing storage and processing device. The clothing storage and processing device not only provides a space for clothing storage, but also can be additionally provided with modules such as drying, air drying, aromatherapy, and disinfection inside according to needs to perform more refined operations on clothes.

[0053] Through the rod docking structure 200 of the automatic clothing integration and dispersion system 100 provided in this embodiment, the quick connection and separation of two unit modules can be realized. Based on their separation, each unit module has a small volume and a compact structure, which is convenient for the preparation, transportation, and installation of the entire system. During use, when it is necessary to switch between the storage and drying states, the two units can be connected to each other and cooperate with each other to complete the function switching. When storing, the clothes dryer dries clothes independently; when storing and processing, the clothes are hidden in the cabinet 3, making the space layout cleaner and realizing the maximum utilization of functions and space.

[0054] The following will introduce the rod docking structure 200 of the automatic clothing integration and dispersion system 100 in detail. As Figure 3As shown, the rod docking structure 200 of the automatic clothing integration and dispersion system 100 includes a first drying rod assembly 2 and a second drying rod assembly 4.

[0055] As Figure 3 、 11 -13 shows, the first drying rod assembly 2 includes a first drying rod 20 having a first track S1 and a first docking member 21 located at the rear end of the first drying rod 20; the second drying rod assembly 4 includes a second drying rod 40 having a second track S2 and a second docking member 41 located at the front end of the second drying rod 40. Preferably, the first track S1 and the second track S2 are downwardly open chute structures.

[0056] As Figure 3 、 5 、6 shows, the first docking member 21 includes a base 211 and a lever member 212 pivotally connected to the end of the base 211. The base 211 is provided with two spaced guiding walls a on the front side of the lever member 212. A coupling groove b is formed between the two guiding walls a, and a first coupling portion c is provided at the bottom of the coupling groove b.

[0057] As shown in 7, 8, and 10, the second docking member 41 includes an insert 411 matching the coupling groove b and a holding piece 412 extending beyond the front end of the insert 411 and located above the insert 411. The holding piece 412 is used to cooperate with the lever member 212. The lower side of the insert 411 is sequentially provided with a second coupling portion d and an elastically movable pin 413. The elastically movable pin 413 is a pin structure with a spring sleeved at the end.

[0058] The first coupling portion c and the second coupling portion d are mutually matching concave-convex structures. When the concave-convex structures are combined, the first drying rod assembly 2 and the second drying rod assembly 4 are restricted from moving relative to each other in the length direction.

[0059] As shown in 6, 7, 11, and 12, when the first drying rod assembly 2 and the second drying rod assembly 4 are separated, the lever member 212 is inclined downward and extends into the first track S1 to block inside the opening of the first track S1, and the elastically movable pin 413 extends downward to block outside the opening of the second track S2 of the second track S2.

[0060] As shown in 13, when the first drying rod assembly 2 and the second drying rod assembly 4 are docked, the insert 411 enters the coupling groove b along the guiding wall a. The first coupling portion c and the second coupling portion d are combined. The holding piece 412 presses down the lever member 212, and the lower end of the lever member 212 rotates upward and away from the opening of the first track S1. The elastically movable pin 413 is squeezed and retracts upward and away from the opening of the second track S2. The first track S1 and the second track S2 are docked and communicate with each other.

[0061] Based on the above solution, as Figure 3 、 5As shown in Figures 11-13, the setting of the lever member 212 combines the blocking part e of the closed track and the action part f that drives the blocking part e to switch activities in one functional component, with the middle of the lever member 212 as the fulcrum, and the state switching is realized by rotating around the fulcrum. When the rear end is not subjected to downward pressure, the blocking part e at the front end falls due to gravity and extends obliquely downward into the first track S1, while the action part f at the rear end tilts upward to prepare for the receiving force. When docking, the action part f of the lever member 212 is pressed down, and the blocking part e at the front end flips and tilts up, forming a space at its lower part for the hanging parts set on the drying rod to pass smoothly.

[0062] On the other side, Figure 7 , 8 As shown in Figures 11-13, the elastic pin 413 blocks and unlocks the second rail S2 through its longitudinal extension and contraction, and the unlocking force comes from the squeezing force exerted by any component above the first rail S1 at the end of the first drying rod assembly 2 when docking. In this state, the accumulated elastic potential energy of the elastic pin 413 provides the force for separation and switching to the blocking state.

[0063] In this embodiment, a stable interlocking system is constructed by the precise matching of the concave-convex structure of the first joint part c and the second joint part d. This design not only effectively prevents the relative movement and dislocation of the two clothes drying rods under the action of wind or external force, but also significantly improves the structural stability of the entire docking system.

[0064] Through this interlocking in the length direction, the failure of the lever member 212 caused by the abutting piece 412 and the failure of the elastic pin 413 caused by the rear end of the first drying rod assembly 2 are avoided. The two guide walls a can prevent the insert 411 from moving in the lateral position, further avoiding the failure of the docking.

[0065] When the clothes-drying rods are docked, the limit mechanism and the unsealing structure of the track work together to achieve docking and track connection, and jointly build a highly coordinated hanging point switching mechanism, laying a smooth and continuous sliding path for the hanging parts, ensuring that the clothes can smoothly complete the position switching on the two clothes-drying rods. It also provides a physical basis for setting up an automated suspension part dispersion and closure transfer mechanism between the two clothes-drying rods, laying a solid foundation for the expansion and upgrading of system automation. And separation and closure are achieved to prevent the hanging parts on the corresponding tracks from falling off the tracks after the two clothes-drying rods are separated. In other words, this rod docking structure can ensure the stable movement and switching of the hanging parts in the track, and at the same time, it can achieve the end blocking of the track at the moment of separation, effectively limiting the outward sliding of the hanging parts, and ensuring the safe fixation of the clothes on the clothes-drying rods.

[0066] It should be noted that the width of the two guiding walls a is at least greater than the width of the insert 411 at the upper opening, which is also the key for the guiding wall a of the insert 411 to play a guiding role. This innovative design endows the drying rack system with the ability to adapt to slight lateral shaking. Even when encountering imbalance or slight external force interference during use, it can ensure that the insert 411 smoothly enters the engaging groove b, achieving seamless docking and greatly improving the smoothness of the user experience.

[0067] As Figure 3 shown, preferably, in order to ensure that the insert 411 can be smoothly and accurately inserted even when there are minor position deviations, a pair of guiding inclined surfaces a1 that gradually incline from the outside to the inside from top to bottom are ingeniously designed on the inner side of the guiding wall a. These two opposing guiding inclined surfaces a1 echo each other and have appropriate angles, jointly constructing a unique guiding structure that gradually flares upward. This design is like a slide, not only providing a natural guiding path for the insert 411, effectively compensating for the inevitable minor errors during the manufacturing or assembly process, but also significantly reducing the resistance and frictional collision of the insert 411 during the insertion process through the smooth transition of the inclined surface, thus achieving a more relaxed, efficient, and stable assembly process. Even when the insert 411 is slightly deviated from the predetermined position, this pair of guiding inclined surfaces a1 can guide the insert 411 to gradually adjust to the correct position, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the assembly.

[0068] Preferably, as Figure 3 、 6 shown, a vertical positioning surface a2 is provided on the lower side of the guiding inclined surface a1. After the insert 411 enters the area between the two opposing vertical positioning surfaces a2, its lateral displacement is further reduced, effectively preventing its unnecessary displacement in the horizontal direction. This design significantly reduces the shaking space of the insert 411 in the horizontal direction, not only ensuring the tightness and stability of the connection between the drying rods, avoiding track deviation caused by shaking, but also greatly reducing the noise problems that may occur due to poor contact or excessive gaps, providing a more stable and quiet use experience for users.

[0069] Further preferably, as Figure 3 、 6 shown, to achieve a seamless transition from the guiding inclined surface a1 to the vertical positioning surface a2, a circular arc transition surface a3 is used for transition between the two. This design is not only beautiful, but more importantly, it greatly enhances the overall guiding effect, enabling the insert 411 to be more smoothly guided from the inclined surface to the positioning surface during the sliding process, reducing the friction and wear caused by direct collision. The existence of the circular arc transition surface a3 is like laying a smooth moving track for the insert 411, not only protecting the insert 411 and the positioning surface from damage, but also further improving the smoothness and accuracy of the assembly, bringing a more comfortable and convenient operation experience for users.

[0070] As Figure 3 , 5 shown, the first engaging portion c is a transverse convex rib extending along a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the first drying rod 20, and the second engaging portion d is a transverse groove extending along a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the second drying rod 40. The arrangement of the transverse convex rib and the transverse groove not only provides a necessary lateral displacement gap between the drying rods, effectively avoiding the "positioning jamming" problem caused by the deformation of the drying rods due to minor errors during the installation process or natural factors such as temperature changes and material aging during long-term use, but also ensures the flexibility and durability of the drying rod system.

[0071] More importantly, this design not only ensures that the drying rods can freely adapt to changes within a certain range, but also achieves precise limiting of the positions of the drying rods. The transverse convex rib is precisely inserted into the transverse groove, and the tight fit between the two not only guarantees the accuracy and stability during the docking of the drying rods, but also prevents unnecessary lateral movement of the drying rods during use, thus ensuring the overall stability and safety of the clothes drying system.

[0072] In addition, when it is necessary to release the docking between the drying rods, this design also demonstrates its superiority. The transverse convex rib can easily slide out of the transverse groove, and the smooth detachment between the two not only reduces the operation difficulty, but also avoids the inconvenience caused by jamming or sticking, bringing a more convenient and efficient user experience.

[0073] More preferably, as Figure 3 , 5 shown, the cross-sectional shape of the transverse convex rib is triangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the transverse groove is inverted triangular. This means that the transverse convex rib has a rib tip c1 and two rib inclined surfaces c2, and the transverse groove has two groove inclined surfaces d1 and a groove corner d2. The two groove inclined surfaces d1 of the transverse groove naturally form a guiding structure. When the two cooperate, the rib tip c1 first enters the transverse groove. If there is a position deviation resulting in the rib tip c1 touching any one of the groove inclined surfaces d1 and receiving a force, this acting force will adaptively adjust the position of the drying rod in the length direction due to the freedom of movement of any drying rod in the length direction, and the rib inclined surface c2 and the groove inclined surface d1 cooperate and slide, so that the transverse convex rib and the transverse groove are finally successfully matched.

[0074] As Figure 3 , 4 shown, the end of the first drying rod 20 is provided with a first insertion groove V1 above the first track S1. The first insertion groove V1 includes first slot walls H on both sides, and the front side of the first insertion groove V1 communicates downward with the first track S1. The first docking member 21 is inserted into the first insertion groove V1; when the rear end of the lever member 212 is not subjected to a downward acting force, the front end of the lever member 212 extends downward from the front end of the first insertion groove V1 into the first track S1.

[0075] As shown Figure 4 in FIG. 3, a first limiting rib 201 extending along the length direction is provided on the bottom wall of the first insertion slot V1, and a first limiting slot matching the first limiting rib is provided at the bottom of the first docking member 21. The first limiting rib 201 matches the first limiting slot, and the first limiting slot extends to the end of the first insertion slot V1. The first docking member 21 is inserted into the first insertion slot V1 from the slot opening of the first insertion slot V1, thereby realizing the combination with the first drying rod 20. The cooperation of the first limiting rib 201 and the first limiting slot not only guides the insertion process, making the insertion operation smoother and the position more accurate, but also can realize the limiting and fixing of the first docking member 21 and the first drying rod 20.

[0076] As shown Figure 3 and 5 FIG. 6, the first engaging portion c is provided at the outermost end of the bottom of the engaging groove b, and there is a blank area on the front side of the first engaging portion c. The bottom wall of the first insertion slot V1 is exposed from this blank area. When the double rods are docked, the lower end of the elastic pin 413 corresponds to the bottom wall of this area, and the elastic pin 413 is squeezed by the bottom wall of the first insertion slot V1 to accumulate elastic potential energy.

[0077] As shown Figure 3 and 4 FIG. 7, the upper edge of the first slot wall H is provided with an inwardly bent folding wall H1, and the guiding wall a is inserted into the space below the folding wall H1 in a matching manner; the folding wall H1 restricts the first docking member 21 from longitudinally disengaging from the first drying rod 20. In addition, when the first drying rod assembly 2 and the second drying rod assembly 4 are docked, the abutting piece 412 abuts against the upper surface of the folding wall H1 and acts on the rear end of the lever member 212 that tilts upward through the lower surface. The abutting piece 412 and the first slot wall H form a docking closed space, preventing impurities and water vapor from entering the docking part and affecting the long-term effective operation of the rod docking structure 200.

[0078] As shown Figure 6 FIG. 8, the first end face of the first slot wall H is located inside the second end face of the first track S1, and a plugging head g is formed at the rear end of the guiding wall a; the plugging head g abuts against the first end face of the first slot wall H, the inner side surface of the plugging head g is continuous with the inner side surface of the guiding wall a, and the upper surface of the plugging head g is flush with the upper surface of the first slot wall H. The function of the plugging head g is to limit the excessive insertion of the first docking member 21, so that the first docking member 21 is kept in a reasonable position.

[0079] Further preferably, the front end of the plugging head g is inclined from top to bottom and from front to back, and the lowermost end is flush with the rear end face of the first drying rod 20 to form a coherent whole. The inclined structure provides an avoidance space during docking, avoiding the front bottom of the second drying rod 40 from colliding with the first drying rod assembly 2 due to the docking position difference.

[0080] like Figure 8 , 9 As shown, the front end of the second air-drying rod 40 is provided with a second insertion slot V2 located above the second rail S2, and the second insertion slot V2 includes second slot walls L on both sides. When the first air-drying rod assembly 2 and the second air-drying rod assembly 4 are docked, the first rail S1 and the second rail S2 are located at the same height, and the upper surfaces of the first slot wall H and the second slot wall L are located at the same height. The abutting piece 412 is placed on the upper surface of the second slot wall L, and is also attached to the upper surface of the first slot wall H after docking, thereby ensuring the integrity of the structure.

[0081] The bottom wall of the second insertion slot V2 is provided with a second limiting rib 401 extending in the length direction, the bottom of the insert 411 is provided with a second limiting slot matching the second limiting rib, and the second limiting rib matches the second limiting slot; the rear end of the insert 411 is inserted into the second insertion slot V2. The abutment sheet 412, the insert 411 and the second drying rod 40 are connected up and down by a positioning member to form a whole, and such a positioning member can be a bolt or screw that penetrates and fastens up and down, thereby facilitating manufacturing and assembly while ensuring the accuracy and firmness of the structure.

[0082] like Figures 11-13 As shown, the specific docking method of the above docking structure includes the following steps:

[0083] Step A: The operator smoothly raises and lowers the first drying rod assembly 2 by controlling a power assembly mechanism, such as a manual crank or an electric motor, so that the first drying rod assembly 2 is located in the space below the docking position of the second drying rod assembly 4.

[0084] Step B: The second air-drying rod assembly 4 moves to the docking position. For example, in this embodiment, the second air-drying rod assembly 4 is rotated out of the cabinet 3 and is in a position parallel to the first air-drying rod assembly 2. The rear end of the first air-drying rod assembly 2 is aligned with the front end of the second air-drying rod assembly 4, and the first docking piece 21 and the second docking piece 41 correspond to each other;

[0085] Step C: Raise the first drying rod assembly 2 to the docking position. First, the insert 411 enters the coupling groove b along the guide wall a to fine-tune the position of the first drying rod assembly 2 in the width direction, then the first coupling part c and the second coupling part d begin to cooperate, and finally the first coupling part c and the second coupling part d combine to limit the displacement of the drying rod, the support piece 412 presses down the rear end of the lever member 212, the lower end of the lever member 212 rotates upward and away from the first track S1 mouth, the elastic pin 413 is squeezed and retracted upward and away from the second track S2 mouth, and the first track S1 and the second track S2 are docked and interpenetrated.

[0086] Preferably, when the first combining portion c and the second combining portion d are combined, the rib structure thereof is utilized to fine-tune and correct the position of the first drying rod assembly 2 in the length direction.

[0087] Step D: After the connection is completed, the first drying rod 20 and the second drying rod 40 are combined into a rigid rod body, the first track S1 and the second track S2 are connected, and the hanging member moves between the two drying rods to switch positions.

[0088] On the contrary, the method for disengaging from docking comprises the following steps:

[0089] Step E: The first air-drying rod assembly 2 descends, and the first air-drying rod 20 and the second air-drying rod 40 move away from each other up and down. At the moment when the first docking member 21 and the second docking member 41 are separated up and down, the force of the supporting piece 412 pressing down the lever member 212 disappears, and the lever member 212 tilts forward. The lower end of the lever member 212 extends into the first track S1 to achieve end closure; at the same time, the elastic pin 413 is also released and pops up downward to achieve end closure of the second track S2.

[0090] Step F: The second drying rod assembly 4 moves into the cabinet 3, and the spatial freedom above the first drying rod assembly 2 is released so that it can be raised or lowered as needed within its lifting stroke.
