DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0028] This part will describe the specific embodiments of the present utility model in detail. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The role of the drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification, enabling people to intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as "set", "install", "connect", etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and those skilled in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0030] In order to facilitate storage and concealment, the drying rods of electric drying racks on the market mostly adopt a telescopic rod structure. The telescopic rod can effectively meet the needs of users for a large drying capacity, and at the same time takes into account the problem of space utilization. At present, the telescopic rod structure of electric drying racks is still relatively simple, and users need to manually pull out and manually retract it, which is rather inconvenient to use. Moreover, when it is used after being pulled out, if there is wind, the clothes hanger will drive the telescopic rod, resulting in a smaller distance between the clothes and preventing the clothes from drying. In addition, there is also an electric drying rack with a hidden groove or storage opening. When the telescopic rod is in the retracted state, it can be completely stored in the hidden groove or storage opening, and the overall structure has good integrity. However, when the user forgets to retract the telescopic rod, it will cause damage to the telescopic rod or related storage structures.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 , in a preferred embodiment of the semi-automatic telescopic drying rod assembly of the present utility model, it includes: a drying rod 10, the drying rod 10 is provided with a fixed rod 11 and movable rods 12 that telescopically move at both ends of the fixed rod 11. An elastic member 13 is connected between the two movable rods. A locking device 40 is provided on the fixed rod 11. The locking device 40 can lock the movable rod 12 in the extended position and unlock the movable rod 12 to automatically retract it into the fixed rod 11 under the elastic action. Specifically, the first elastic member 13 is a tension spring, and the tension spring passes through the fixed rod 11 and is connected to the movable rod 12, so that the two movable rods 12 have an opposite elastic force. For the convenience of installation, the tension spring is connected to the movable rod plug 14. The locking device 40 is used to lock and unlock the movable rod 12. When the user hangs clothes, if the movable rod needs to be used, the movable rod is pulled outwards and locked in the extended position, and it can be unlocked and retracted into the fixed rod when not in use. With such a setting, it can facilitate the operation of the user and is also relatively convenient to use. Further, a buffer structure, such as a buffer rubber pad, can be provided between the movable rod plug 14 and the fixed rod plug 15 to reduce the impact caused by unlocking.

[0032] Further, the number of the drying rods 10 is two and they are arranged in parallel. A bracket 20 is fixedly connected between the two drying rods 10. A folding frame 30 is movably connected to the bracket 20. The folding frame 30 can trigger the unlocking of the locking device during its folding process. With such a setting, the unlocking action of the locking device 40 can be automated, that is, as the folding frame 30 is gradually folded and retracted, the locking device 40 is triggered, and this triggered action can be achieved by the folding frame 30 itself or by other components or parts.

[0033] Further, refer to Figure 1 and 3 There are two brackets 20, and the locking devices 40 are respectively provided on both sides of the brackets 20 and located at the connection between the clothes-drying rod 10 and the brackets 20. Specifically, there are four locking devices 40, two of which are provided on each clothes-drying rod and located at the connection between the clothes-drying rod 10 and the brackets 20. This arrangement facilitates linkage with the folding frame 30. This linkage cleverly utilizes the spatial structure of the brackets and the folding frame, is reasonably positioned, and occupies a small volume.

[0034] Further, refer to Figure 1 and 3 The folding frame 30 is provided with a plurality of cross-connected folding rods 31. The two folding rods 31 at the ends of the folding frame 30 are slidably connected to the bracket 20 and can trigger the locking device 40 to unlock during the sliding process. Specifically, the folding frame 30 is in the form of scissors and is hinged with multiple folding rods 31. The head end of the folding frame 30 is slidably connected to the main body of the electric clothes drying machine, and the tail end is slidably connected to the bracket 20. The folding frame mainly realizes the anti-swing function of the clothes drying rod. The two folding rods 31 at the end are respectively connected to a slider 32. The slider 32 can slide in the bracket 20. The sliding process triggers the unlocking of the locking device 40. This sliding process is a kind of folding process of the folding frame.

[0035] Further, refer to Figures 4 to 6 The movable rod 12 is retracted within the fixed rod 11. The fixed rod 11 is provided with an opening 111 at a position facing the bracket 20. A lock catch 41 is provided on the side of the bracket 20 close to the fixed rod 11. The lock catch 41 can pass through the opening 111 to lock the movable rod 12. Specifically, the opening 111 is located at a position where the fixed rod 11 faces the bracket 20, which facilitates linkage with the folding frame 30. The locking device 40 includes a lock catch 41. The lock catch 41 is connected to the side of the bracket 20 close to the fixed rod 11, that is, close to the connection between the two. In order to lock and unlock the movable rod 12, the lock catch 41 needs to pass through the opening 111. Therefore, the opening 111 also belongs to the locking device 40.

[0036] Further, refer to Figures 4 to 5This is one of the preferred embodiments of the semi-automatic telescopic drying rod assembly involving a bracket and a folding frame combined structure. The opening 111 is positioned higher than the bracket 20. The middle portion of the lock 41 is hinged to the bracket 20. One end of the lock 41 extends out of the bracket 20 and is provided with a hook 42 for locking the movable rod 12. The other end of the lock 41 is located within the bracket 20 and is provided with a resisting portion 43. The resisting portion 43 can be movably resisted by the folding frame 20 to unlock the movable rod 12. Specifically, the lock 41 is Z-shaped, with a hook 42 at its upper end and a resisting portion 43 at its lower end. The bracket 20 is in the shape of a through groove. The middle portion of the lock 41 is hinged to the end of the bracket 20. The resisting portion 43 has a certain swing space in the through groove-shaped bracket. When the folding frame 20 is folded and retracted, the slider 32 can resist the resisting portion 43, thereby causing the hook 42 to unlock the movable rod 12. This arrangement can effectively utilize the bracket structure and spatial layout to achieve automatic trigger unlocking, and has a simple structure. The end of the bracket 20 is also connected to a drying rod connecting seat 21, which covers a portion of the notch at the end of the bracket 20 to prevent dust from falling. The drying rod connecting seat 21 also has an opening for the lock buckle 41 to pass through and move.

[0037] Furthermore, the movable rod is provided with at least one notch or recess, and the hook passes through the opening and abuts against one of the notches or recesses (not shown). Specifically, there may be two or three notches, so that the movable rod can be retracted and fixed in multiple gears to meet the user's flexible and diverse clothes drying needs.

[0038] Further, refer to Figure 6 This is a second preferred embodiment of the semi-automatic telescopic drying rod assembly involving a bracket and folding frame structure. The locking device is provided with a pressure rod 44, which can unlock the locking device. Specifically, the pressure rod 44 is exposed from the bracket 20 and forms a certain acute angle with the bracket. The lock 41 is also hinged to the end of the bracket 20, and its hook 42 and the pressure rod 44 are located at the same rotational torque. The biggest difference between this method and the first embodiment is that it can be unlocked by using other components or parts other than the folding frame.

[0039] Further, refer to Figure 6, the pressure bar 44 is provided with a pressing part 45, and the pressing part 45 is located on the folding track of the folding frame 30. Alternatively, the pressing part 45 deviates from the folding track of the folding frame 30 but can be abutted by a corresponding component during the folding process of the folding frame 30. Specifically, the pressing part 45 can be arranged below the rod head of the second folding rod 31 at the end of the folding frame 30 on the corresponding side. Or as shown in the attached drawing, the pressure bar 44 forms an acute angle with the bracket 20, and the pressing part 45 deviates from the closing direction of the folding rod and is triggered by touching the main body. With such a setting, compared with being limited by the limited space of the bracket, the movement of the abutting part is also restricted, and the unlocking action of the pressure bar can be more flexible. With the help of the rod length, the unlocking stroke amplification effect can be achieved, and the unlocking action is also more accurate.

[0040] An electric clothes dryer 1, by adopting the above semi-automatic telescopic drying rod assembly, eliminates the inconvenience of pure manual operation and the potential hazard of forgetting operations, saves time and effort, and improves the user experience and the structural reliability of the whole machine.

[0041] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention belong to the scope of protection required by the present invention.
