DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the utility model discloses a clothes drying machine 100, comprising: a clothes drying machine main body 200, a telescopic frame 300 and a clothes drying rack 400. The telescopic frame 300 is connected to the bottom of the clothes drying machine main body 200. The clothes drying rack 400 is connected to the side of the telescopic frame 300 away from the clothes drying machine main body 200, and can rise or fall under the drive of the telescopic frame 300. In this embodiment, the clothes drying machine main body 200 is rectangular and is used to be installed on a mounting surface. The telescopic frame 300 is a scissors rack. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the clothes drying machine main body 200 can also be in other shapes, and the telescopic frame 300 can also be replaced by a hanging rope, which is not limited to this. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the clothes drying machine main body 200 and the telescopic frame 300 can be the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] like Figure 3-Figure 11 As shown, the clothes drying rack 400 includes a pair of clothes drying rods 1, a pair of telescopic rods 21, and a connecting rod assembly 2. The pair of clothes drying rods 1 are hollow. The pair of telescopic rods 21 can be movably accommodated in the pair of clothes drying rods 1. That is, the pair of telescopic rods 21 are at least partially accommodated in the pair of clothes drying rods 1. The connecting rod assembly 2 is drivably arranged at at least one axial end of the pair of telescopic rods 21. That is, the connecting rod assembly 2 is located between the pair of telescopic rods 21 and can be opened at at least one axial end of the pair of telescopic rods 21. The connecting rod assembly 2 includes at least two cross bars 22 slidably connected to the pair of telescopic rods 21 and push-pull rods 23 fixed to the ends of the pair of telescopic rods 21. The at least two cross bars 22 have an extended state away from the pair of clothes drying rods 1 driven by the push-pull rods 23 and a retracted state close to the pair of clothes drying rods 1. When the push-pull rod 23 is pulled open, the at least two cross bars 22 will be automatically pulled out in sequence and at regular intervals, without the need for manual dispersion.

[0043] In this embodiment, a pair of airing rods 1 are arranged in parallel, with a pair of telescopic rods 21 and a connecting rod assembly 2 mounted at each end. When retracted, the majority of the length of either or both pairs of telescopic rods 21 is contained within the pair of rods 1, with the push-pull rods 23 and crossbars 22 located at either end of the pair. When extended, the majority of the length of either or both pairs of telescopic rods 21 extends outside the pair of rods 1, with the crossbars 22 dispersed between the two pairs of telescopic rods 21.

[0044] Specifically, the telescopic rod 21 is provided with a slideway 211 extending along its longitudinal direction for the end of the crossbar 22 to extend into, so as to allow the crossbar 22 to slide on the telescopic rod 21. At least two crossbars 22 are arranged in a staggered manner in the slideway 211. That is, the projected length of at least two crossbars 22 on the horizontal plane gradually increases toward the push-pull rod 23 side, such as Figure 6 As shown. The inner wall of the slideway 211 is provided with at least one block 24. The block 24 is configured to extend with the telescopic rod 21 until it abuts one of the crossbars 22 when in the extended state, and to retract with the telescopic rod 21 until it is free of the crossbar 22 when in the retracted state. In other words, when the push-pull rod 23 is extended, the block 24 extends with the telescopic rod 21 until it abuts one of the crossbars 22, driving that crossbar 22 away from the clothes-drying rod 1. When the push-pull rod 23 is retracted, the block 24 retracts with the telescopic rod 21 until it abuts one of the crossbars 22, and the crossbar 22, pushed by the push-pull rod 23, is retracted to the end of the clothes-drying rod 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, the number of the blocks 24 can be the same as the number of the cross bars 22, or can be less than the number of the cross bars 22, preferably one less. When there are multiple blocks 24, the multiple blocks 24 are spaced apart from each other in the slideway 211 and arranged in a staggered manner. That is, the projected thickness of the multiple blocks 24 on the horizontal plane gradually decreases toward the push-pull rod 23 side, such as Figure 6 As shown. The blocks 24 are preferably located on the inner bottom wall of the slideway 211 to mate with the corresponding crossbars 22. The inner bottom wall of the slideway 211 defines a mounting hole (not shown), into which the blocks 24 are secured. The blocks 24 have varying thicknesses along the depth of the recess in the slideway 211. At least two crossbars 22 have varying lengths, and the lengths of the crossbars 22 are inversely proportional to the thicknesses of the corresponding blocks 24.

[0046] Specifically, the lengths of at least two crossbars 22 increase sequentially in the direction toward the push-pull rod 23, and the thicknesses of the plurality of blocks 24 decrease sequentially in the direction toward the push-pull rod 23, so that each crossbar 22 can sequentially contact a block 24 of corresponding thickness under the drive of the push-pull rod 23. Preferably, the inner sidewall of the slideway 211 is provided with at least one slide groove 212 extending along the longitudinal direction of the slideway 211, and each end of the crossbar 22 is provided with a slider 220 supported in the corresponding slide groove 212. The slider 220 can slide relative to the slide groove 212 until it abuts against the corresponding block 24.

[0047] In this embodiment, the end of the drying rod 1 is provided with an open slot 11 for accommodating the crossbar 22. The open slot 11 corresponds to the slideway 211, that is, the slideway 211 is exposed to the open slot 11. A first plug 3 is also secured to the end of the drying rod 1. The first plug 3 is disposed around the outer circumference of the telescopic rod 21 and fixed to the inner wall of the drying rod 1. The first plug 3 is provided with a retaining groove 31 corresponding to the open slot 11, and the crossbar 22 is retained within the retaining groove 31.

[0048] Specifically, when the push-pull rod 23 is pulled, the crossbar 22 is pre-positioned within the limiting groove 31 and does not move with the telescopic rod 21 until the block 24 abuts the corresponding crossbar 22, pulling the corresponding crossbar 22 out of the limiting groove 31. In this embodiment, the crossbar 22 can be restrained by providing a deformable protrusion on the sidewall at the opening of the limiting groove 31. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the crossbar 22 can also be restrained by adding other accessories, which is not limited to this.

[0049] Each telescopic rod 21 is provided with a plug 4 at both ends. A push-pull rod 23 is located outside at least two cross bars 22 and partially sleeved on the telescopic rod 21. The push-pull rod 23 is connected to the corresponding plug 4 via fasteners such as screws. When retracted, the push-pull rod 23 abuts against the first plug 3 to ensure that the cross bar 22 can be completely retracted into the open slot 11.

[0050] Combine Figure 6As shown, the following describes a detailed description of the linkage assembly 2, which includes three crossbars 22 and two clamping blocks 24. The three crossbars 22 are a first crossbar 221, a second crossbar 222, and a third crossbar 223, and the two clamping blocks 24 are a first clamping block 241 and a second clamping block 242. The first crossbar 221, the second crossbar 222, and the third crossbar 223 are positioned sequentially away from the push-pull rod 23, with their lengths decreasing in sequence. The first clamping block 241 and the second clamping block 242 are spaced apart and positioned sequentially away from the push-pull rod 23, with their thicknesses increasing in sequence. The distance between the first clamping block 241 and the push-pull rod 23 represents the distance between the first crossbar 221 and the push-pull rod 23 in the deployed state. The distance between the first clamping block 241 and the second clamping block 242 represents the distance between the first crossbar 221 and the second crossbar 222 in the deployed state. The distance between the second cross bar 222 and the third cross bar 223 is related to the distance the push-pull rod 23 is ultimately pulled out.

[0051] The chute 212 is provided with two, namely a first chute 2121 and a second chute 2122. The first chute 2121 is closer to the bottom wall of the slideway 211 than the second chute 2122. The slider 220 of the first crossbar 221 is supported in the first chute 2121, and the sliders 220 of the second and third crossbars 222, 223 are supported in the second chute 2122. In other optional embodiments, the sliders 220 of the three crossbars 22 can be located in three independent chute 212, or in one chute 212, as long as the three crossbars 22 are staggered and slidable.

[0052] When the push-pull rod 23 is pulled, the first clamping block 241 and the second clamping block 242 extend along with the telescopic rod 21. The first clamping block 241 passes over the second crossbar 222 and the third crossbar 223 and abuts the first crossbar 221, driving the first crossbar 221 out of the open slot 11 and away from the clothes-drying rod 1. The second clamping block 242 passes over the third crossbar 223 and abuts the second crossbar 222, driving the second crossbar 222 out of the open slot 11 and away from the clothes-drying rod 1. Of course, in this embodiment, the third clamping block can also abut the third crossbar 223, and this is not limited to this.

[0053] When the push-pull rod 23 is retracted, the first block 241 and the second block 242 are retracted along with the telescopic rod 21 until they are separated from the first cross bar 221 and the second cross bar 222. The push-pull rod 23 contacts the first cross bar 221, pushes the first cross bar 221 to contact the second cross bar 222, and the second cross bar 222 to contact the third cross bar 223, and retracts the three cross bars 22 into the open slot 11.

[0054] The clothes drying rack 400 also includes a pair of rods 5 disposed on the side away from each other of the pair of drying rods 1 and a pair of movable rods 25 at least partially housed within the pair of rods 5. The rods 5 are hollow. The linkage assembly 2 also includes a connecting rod 26 located at the ends of the pair of movable rods 25. The connecting rod 26 is fixedly connected to the push-pull rod 23 so that the movable rods 25 and the telescopic rod 21 can be pulled out or retracted synchronously. It can be seen that the pair of rods 5 are arranged in parallel, and a pair of movable rods 25 and a linkage assembly 2 are respectively installed at both ends of the pair of rods 5. In the retracted state, most of the length of the two pairs of movable rods 25 or one pair of movable rods 25 is housed within the pair of rods 5, and the connecting rod 26 is respectively located at both ends of the pair of rods 5. In the extended state, most of the length of the two pairs of movable rods 25 or one pair of movable rods 25 extends outside the pair of rods 5. Each of the movable rods 25 is also provided with a plug 4 at both ends, and the connecting rod 26 is connected to the corresponding plug 4 via fasteners such as screws.

[0055] The clothes drying rack 400 also includes a connecting plate 6 that connects the pair of airing rods 1 and the pair of supporting rods 5. This connecting plate 6 is located between the frame structure formed by the supporting rods 5, the pair of airing rods 1, and the link rod assemblies 2 located at both ends of the pair of supporting rods 5 and the pair of airing rods 1. This connecting plate 6 is used to connect to the external telescopic frame 300. Two connecting plates 6 are provided, located at both ends of the pair of airing rods 1 and the pair of supporting rods 5. These two connecting plates 6 are fixedly connected to the telescopic frame 300 and rise or fall with the telescopic frame 300, thereby driving the clothes drying rack 400 upward or downward.

[0056] In summary, the clothes drying rack 400 of the present invention comprises a slideway 211 provided on a pair of telescopic rods 21 for the ends of the crossbars 22 to extend into, at least two crossbars 22 being arranged in a staggered manner within the slideway 211, and at least one block 24 provided on the inner wall of the slideway 211. As a result, the at least two crossbars 22 can have an extended state, away from the pair of clothes drying rods 1, and a retracted state, closer to the pair of clothes drying rods 1, driven by the push-pull rod 23. Furthermore, the block 24 can extend with the telescopic rods 21 to abut against one of the crossbars 22 in the extended state, and can retract with the telescopic rods 21 to disengage from the crossbars 22 in the retracted state. Compared to the prior art, the clothes drying rack 400 of the present invention not only achieves a linkage effect, but also has a simple structure and higher efficiency in assembly and maintenance.

[0057] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
