Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a clothes dryer, and more specifically, to a steel wire rope connection structure of a clothes dryer and a clothes dryer. Background Art

[0002] A clothes dryer is generally installed at the top of a balcony for use. It usually consists of a main body part for controlling lifting and lowering and a drying rod assembly connected below the main body part, and has become a very popular household item. The main body part is usually connected to the drying rod assembly by a steel wire rope. The steel wire rope is led out from a winding reel inside the main body of the machine and is fixedly connected to the drying rod assembly through a suspension seat. Both ends of the drying rod assembly are respectively connected to both ends of the main body through steel wire ropes. The rotation of the winding reel driven by a motor realizes the retraction and extension of the steel wire rope, and further drives the lifting and lowering movement of the drying rod assembly.

[0003] However, due to manufacturing and assembly errors, the lengths of the steel wire ropes on both sides are often difficult to be exactly the same, resulting in the drying rod assembly after installation being unable to maintain a horizontal state, affecting the normal use of the clothes dryer. In order to ensure that the drying rod assembly can reach a basic level, fine adjustment needs to be carried out on parts such as the motor or the guiding of the steel wire rope during the manufacturing and assembly process of the clothes dryer. This work is rather cumbersome and time-consuming, affecting the production efficiency of the clothes dryer.

[0004] In view of the above problems, Chinese Patent No. ZL201821076330.9 discloses "a steel wire rope connection device for a clothes dryer" (the authorization announcement date is January 11, 2019). It includes a fastener, a plug and several cushion blocks. The outer surface of the fastener is provided with an installation part for firmly installing with the drying rod of the clothes dryer. The inside of the fastener is hollow to form an inner cavity. One end of the inner cavity forms a cavity bottom, and the other end forms a cavity opening. A through hole for the steel wire rope to pass through is opened on the cavity bottom. The size of the cushion block is larger than the through hole and smaller than the cavity opening. The cushion block is provided with a through groove for the side part of the steel wire rope to penetrate. The cushion block is sleeved on the steel wire rope through the through groove, and the cushion block is located between the cavity bottom and the end of the steel wire rope. The plug seals the cavity opening, and the plug abuts against the cushion block closest to the cavity opening. This patent application can adjust the length of the steel wire rope after installation by increasing or decreasing the cushion blocks. However, it needs to use a fastener with a special structure to limit the movement and slippage of the cushion block in its inner cavity, resulting in certain limitations in the steel wire rope connection structure. Moreover, in order to facilitate the installation of the cushion block, corresponding holes need to be provided at the bottom of the drying rod to facilitate the penetration of the steel wire rope and the cushion block, which is not conducive to the strength and beauty of the drying rod. For a drying rod without holes at the bottom, the assembly sequence needs to be changed, that is, the steel wire rope needs to be connected to the fastener first, and then the fastener is installed. This installation sequence is actually not easy to accurately judge the number of required cushion blocks and requires multiple assembly attempts, affecting the assembly progress and efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0031] [Embodiment]

[0032] Combined with Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a wire rope connection structure of a clothes drying machine in this embodiment includes a suspension member 4-1, a plurality of gaskets 4-4 and a limiting member installed on the clothes drying rod assembly 3. The suspension member 4-1 is fixed on the clothes drying rod assembly 3 and is used to connect with the wire rope 2. The gasket 4-4 is used to adjust the length of the wire rope 2 after installation. The number of gaskets 4-4 used can be determined according to the length adjustment requirement, and multiple gaskets 4-4 are stacked and used together; the limiting member is used to limit the installed gasket 4-4 and wire rope 2 to prevent the gasket 4-4 from falling off. As Figures 4 to 6As shown, the suspension member 4-1 is provided with a through hole 4-1a and a clamping hole 4-1b communicating with the through hole 4-1a. The clamping hole 4-1b is located on one side of the through hole 4-1a and is a long strip hole. The width of the clamping hole 4-1b is slightly larger than the diameter of the steel wire rope 2. The size of the gasket 4-4 is smaller than the size of the through hole 4-1a and larger than the size of the clamping hole 4-1b. In this way, the gasket 4-4 can pass through the through hole 4-1a and slide to the position of the clamping hole 4-1b, and then can abut against the suspension member 4-1 on the outer periphery of the clamping hole 4-1b. The gasket 4-4 is also provided with a notch that can be clamped on the steel wire rope 2. The size of the notch is smaller than the size of the end 2-1 of the steel wire rope 2. The gasket 4-4 can be directly placed on the steel wire rope 2 through the notch. The lowermost gasket 4-4 abuts against the end 2-1. In this way, the connection position between the end 2-1 and the suspension member 4-1 is adjusted through the gasket 4-4, and further the length of the steel wire rope 2 of the suspension drying rod assembly 3 can be changed to make the lengths of the steel wire ropes 2 at both ends of the drying rod assembly 3 consistent. During installation, the steel wire rope 2 with the gasket 4-4 installed at the end can pass through the through hole 4-1a into the suspension member 4-1 and slide into the clamping hole 4-1b to be connected with the suspension member 4-1. The limiting member is fixed on the suspension member 4-1 to limit the gasket 4-4 to prevent the gasket 4-4 from slipping off the steel wire rope 2. At the same time, the limiting member also fixes the installation position of the steel wire rope 2 on the suspension member 4-1. When disassembling the steel wire rope 2 or adjusting the length of the steel wire rope 2, only need to disassemble the limiting member and slide the steel wire rope 2 in the direction of the through hole 4-1a. The length of the installed steel wire rope 2 can be changed by increasing or decreasing the number of gaskets 4-4. This installation structure of the steel wire rope 2 and the suspension member 4-1 does not require opening holes at the bottom of the drying rod. It is not only convenient and stable in connection, simple and convenient in operation, but also does not affect the structural strength of the drying rod. It can be applied to drying rod assemblies of different structural forms, ensuring the product quality of the clothes dryer and improving the production efficiency.

[0033] Refer to Figures 2 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the suspension member 4-1 has an inverted "U" shape and can be a sheet metal structural member. The lower end of the suspension member 4-1 is connected to the drying rod assembly 3. This connection method includes but is not limited to riveting, bolt connection, etc., as long as the suspension member 4-1 and the drying rod assembly 3 are firmly connected. The limiting member includes a first limiting member 4-2 and a second limiting member 4-3. A first limiting hole 4-1c is provided on one side of the clamping hole 4-1b, and a second limiting hole 4-1d is provided between the clamping hole 4-1b and the through hole 4-1a. The first limiting member 4-2 is installed in the first limiting hole 4-1c, and the second limiting member 4-3 is installed in the second limiting hole 4-1d. The gasket 4-4 is located between the first limiting member 4-2 and the second limiting member 4-3. The left and right directions of the gasket 4-4 are limited by the first limiting member 4-2 and the second limiting member 4-3, and the front and back directions of the gasket 4-4 are limited by the inverted "U" side walls of the suspension member 4-1. The distance between the two side walls of the suspension member 4-1 is slightly larger than the diameter of the gasket 4-4. Therefore, the front and back directions of the gasket 4-4 can be directly limited by the suspension member 4-1, and the length direction of the suspension member 4-1 (the direction where the two openings are located) limits the gasket 4-4 through the first limiting member 4-2 and the second limiting member 4-3. Therefore, after the first limiting member 4-2 and the second limiting member 4-3 are installed, the gasket 4-4 is restricted within the suspension member 4-1 and cannot move freely, thereby preventing the gasket 4-4 from separating from the steel wire rope 2. In the up and down direction, the top wall of the suspension member 4-1 and the lower drying rod assembly 3 also limit the gasket 4-4. Although the gasket 4-4 can move up and down in the slack state of the steel wire rope 2, this movement will not cause separation from the steel wire rope 2.

[0034] Further, both the first limiting member 4-2 and the second limiting member 4-3 are limiting screws, and both the first limiting hole 4-1c and the second limiting hole 4-1d are screw holes. The second limiting hole 4-1d is located between the clamping hole 4-1b and the through hole 4-1a, and the diameter of the second limiting hole 4-1d is larger than the width of the clamping hole 4-1b. After the number of gaskets 4-4 at the end of the steel wire rope 2 is adjusted and installed on the suspension member 4-1, two limiting screws are screwed into the corresponding screw holes. At this time, the screw rod parts of the limiting screws are implanted into the interior of the suspension member 4-1, and the screw rods of the two limiting screws limit the gasket 4-4 (as Figure 3 shown), with a simple structure and convenient installation. Referring to Figure 7 shown, the gasket 4-4 in this embodiment is a quick-change split washer with a specific notch on one side, and it can be easily disassembled and assembled on the steel wire rope 2. As Figure 7 shown, a C-shaped washer is shown. This washer can be inserted from the side of the steel wire rope 2 without passing through from the end, enabling quick disassembly and assembly of the gasket and facilitating flexible adjustment of the length of the steel wire rope.

[0035] Return Figure 1As shown in the figure, this embodiment also relates to a clothes dryer. The clothes dryer includes a main body 1 and a drying rod assembly 3. Steel wire ropes 2 are led out from both ends of the main body 1, and the leading ends of the steel wire ropes 2 are connected to the corresponding ends of the drying rod assembly 3 by the above-mentioned clothes dryer steel wire rope connection structure 4. By means of a simple structure, the lengths of the steel wire ropes at both ends are adjusted, so that the assembled drying rod assembly can be kept in a horizontal state, improving the use stability of the clothes dryer.

[0036] The structural forms of the main body 1 and the drying rod assembly 3 are similar to those of the existing electric clothes dryers. A steel wire rope winding mechanism driven by a motor is provided in the main body 1, and the drying rod assembly 3 can adopt existing structural forms such as a single rod, a double rod, and a frame rod. The steel wire rope 2 in the main body 1 is led out and connected to the drying rod assembly 3, and the lifting control of the drying rod assembly 3 is realized by winding and unwinding the steel wire rope 2. Figure 1 What is shown is a drying rod assembly in the form of a frame rod. The drying rods on both sides are connected by rod seats 3-1, and the steel wire rope 2 is connected to the corresponding rod seat 3-1. To ensure the stability of the drying rod assembly, a scissor-type telescopic rod is also provided between the main body 1 and the drying rod assembly 3. When installing the drying rod assembly 3, fix the suspension member 4-1 in the middle of the corresponding rod seat 3-1, and then the steel wire rope 2 and the suspension member 4-1 can be connected without the gasket 4-4 first. Suspend it and observe the state of the drying rod assembly 3. If the drying rod assembly 3 is not horizontal, add the gasket 4-4 at the end with a lower height until the drying rod assembly 3 reaches a horizontal state. After adjustment, install the limiting member for fixation.

[0037] A clothes dryer steel wire rope connection structure and a clothes dryer of the present utility model, by providing a through hole and a card hole communicating with the through hole on the suspension member, enable the steel wire rope with a gasket installed at the end to pass through the through hole and slide into the card hole to be connected to the suspension member. By adjusting the number of gaskets, the length of the steel wire rope after installation can be conveniently adjusted, and the gasket is limited by the limiting member to prevent the gasket from slipping off the steel wire rope. It is not only convenient and stable to connect, simple and convenient to operate, but also does not affect the structural strength of the drying rod, can be applied to drying rod assemblies of different structural forms, ensures the product quality of the clothes dryer, and improves the production efficiency.

[0038] The above schematically describes the present utility model and its embodiments. The description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the embodiments of the present utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and design similar structural forms and embodiments without creative work without departing from the purpose of the present utility model, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
