Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clothes drying rods, in particular to an induction type automatic control clothes drying rod. Background Art
[0002] Drying clothes is a daily household chore. With the development of urbanization, more and more high-rise buildings are being built. Residents of high-rise buildings often install small awnings on the exterior walls above their windows and set up clotheslines underneath them to dry clothes. However, clothes under awnings are not well exposed to sunlight, making them less effective for drying. Therefore, clothes are often air-dried (or shade-dried). If the awnings are removed, or the clotheslines are set up outside, then after hanging clothes on the clotheslines, if weather conditions change (rain, snow, strong winds, etc.), no one is home and the clothes cannot be collected in time, causing them to become damp and contaminated again. Furthermore, sometimes the weather is gloomy in the morning, with uncertainty about whether it will rain, making it unsuitable for drying clothes. By noon, the weather clears up, the sun shines brightly, and no one is home, making it impossible to dry the clothes, thus wasting time. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] An induction type automatic control clothes drying rod, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, it includes an outdoor part and a controller, and the outdoor part includes a clothes rod drive component and a sensor component. The clothes rod drive component includes a fixed base 1, and a component protection cover 2 is provided on the fixed base 1. Inside the component protection cover 2, a bearing 3 is installed on the fixed base 1 through a bearing mounting seat, and a servo motor 4 is installed through a motor mounting seat. The inner ring of the bearing 3 is fixed with a clothes rod support shaft 5. The upper end of the clothes rod support shaft 5 extends out of the component protection cover 2 and is installed with a clothes drying rod 8, and a driven gear is installed at the lower end. The output shaft end of the servo motor 4 is installed with a driving gear, and the driving gear drives the driven gear at the lower end of the clothes rod support shaft 5 through a reduction gear set 6. The fixed base 1 is also equipped with a sensor for detecting the clothes rod support shaft 5 in cooperation with the clothes rod support shaft 5. Angle sensor 7 of rotation angle; the sensor assembly includes a sensor mounting bracket 9, on which a light sensor 10, a rain sensor 11 and a wind speed sensor 12 are installed; the controller includes a shell 13 and a plug power cord 14, a power circuit 15 and a control unit 16 are housed in the shell 13, and a power switch, corresponding indicator lights and an angle sensor adjustment switch are provided on the shell 13; the servo motor 4 and the angle sensor 7 in the clothes rod drive assembly are electrically connected to the power circuit 15 and the control unit 16 of the controller through cables, and the light sensor 10, the rain sensor 11 and the wind speed sensor 12 in the sensor assembly are all electrically connected to the power circuit 15 and the control unit 16 of the controller through cables.
[0014] The installation, operation and use of the induction type automatic clothes drying rod: the clothes rod drive assembly of the outdoor part is fixed to the bottom of the awning 18 on the outer wall through its fixing base 1 (see Figure 3), the sensor assembly is installed on the outer wall through the sensor mounting bracket 9 (located outside the awning 18 and not blocked by the awning 18), the controller is located indoors (can be fixed to the wall) and connected to the power supply; after pressing the controller switch, it starts to operate, and the light sensor 10, rain sensor 11 and wind speed sensor 12 in the sensor assembly respectively monitor the light intensity, rain conditions and wind speed conditions of the current environment in real time, and transmit the signal to the control unit 16 in real time for the control unit 16 to make a comprehensive judgment. If the light intensity of the current environment is greater than the preset minimum value, there is no rain in the environment, and the wind speed is lower than the preset maximum value, then the control unit 16 will make the servo motor 4 run, drive the clothes rod support shaft 5 to rotate, and the angle sensor 7 matched with the clothes rod support shaft 5 will be turned on. The rotation angle of the clothes rod supporting shaft 5 is detected in real time. When the clothes rod supporting shaft 5 rotates to a preset angle, the angle sensor 7 sends a signal to the control unit 16 to stop the servo motor 4, thereby rotating the clothes rod 8 from its original position against the wall to a position outside the awning 18, so that the clothes hung on the clothes rod 8 are exposed to light and wind; when the light sensor 10 detects that the current ambient light intensity is lower than the preset minimum value (darkness), or the rain sensor 11 detects that the current environment is raining, or the wind speed sensor 12 detects that the current ambient wind speed is greater than the preset maximum value, the control unit 16 will reverse the servo motor 4, thereby rotating the clothes rod 8 back to the position against the wall, so that the clothes return to the bottom of the wall awning 18, temporarily sheltered from rain and wind, and also convenient for collection.
[0015] The clothes-drying rod 8 is made of a high-strength, lightweight aluminum alloy material to reduce the stress of the clothes-drying rod 8 on the clothes-drying rod supporting shaft 5, reduce the mechanical wear of components such as the bearing 3, and extend the service life.
[0016] To prevent the induction-type automatic clothes drying rod from being unable to operate due to an unexpected power outage, a backup rechargeable battery 17 electrically connected to the power circuit 15 is provided in the controller housing 13. When an unexpected power outage occurs, the power circuit 15 switches to the backup rechargeable battery 17 as a temporary power source to ensure temporary normal operation.
[0017] The sensors used in this inductive automatic clothes drying rod (angle sensor, light sensor, rain sensor, and wind speed sensor) are all mature products currently available on the market. The angle sensor detects the rotation angle of the object being measured and sends a signal; the light sensor detects the current light intensity and sends a signal; the rain sensor detects the current rainfall (rainfall) and sends a signal; and the wind speed sensor detects the current wind speed and sends a signal.
[0018] The above implementation modes are only used to explain the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes based on the essential solution of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
