DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0038] (Example 1)

[0039] like Figures 1 to 7 The electric clothes dryer shown includes a control system, a body 1, a drive system, and a drying system. The drive system is mounted on the body 1 and is connected to the control system signal. The drying system includes a plurality of clothes drying rods 2 mounted horizontally and slidingly on the body 1. Adjacent clothes drying rods 2 are flexibly connected horizontally so that they can move closer to or further away from each other under the action of external forces. The clothes drying rod 2 in the first position is connected to the drive system in a transmission manner. Under the control of the control system, the drive system drives the clothes drying rod 2 in the first position to make reciprocating motion along the body 1, thereby driving the other clothes drying rods 2 to follow the motion one by one, thereby realizing the expansion and contraction of the drying system. When drying is required, the system automatically expands and moves to the front of the balcony. When drying is not required or a transparent visual effect is desired, the system automatically collapses and moves to the end of the body. This changes the working mode of the traditional electric clothes dryer and takes into account both drying and a good living experience.

[0040] Specifically, the control system is a remote controller or a smart home system, which can remotely control the driving system through the remote controller or be directly remotely controlled by the smart home system, which is convenient for users to use. It is widely used in smart homes and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] The fuselage 1 is an L-shaped track with an arc transition. The long side of the L-shaped track is installed on the top of the balcony, and the short side naturally extends to the side of the top of the balcony, providing side-mounted space for the drying system. In the initial state, the drying system is located on the short side of the L-shaped track and does not occupy the positive space of the balcony, thereby realizing the maximum release of the balcony space.

[0042] The drive system includes an intelligent motor 3, a first synchronous wheel, a second synchronous wheel, an intermediate transition wheel and a synchronous crawler, wherein the intelligent motor 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the L-shaped track and connected to the control system signal to realize automatic switching between forward and reverse rotation. The first synchronous wheel is coaxially fixed to the motor shaft of the intelligent motor 3, the second synchronous wheel is rotatably installed at the other end of the L-shaped track, and the intermediate transition wheel is rotatably installed at the turning point of the L-shaped track. The synchronous crawler is wound between the first synchronous wheel, the second synchronous wheel and the intermediate transition wheel, thereby realizing forward and reverse rotation of the synchronous crawler under the drive of the intelligent motor 3.

[0043] The clothes-drying rod 2 includes a hanging rod 2-1, a sliding member 2-2 and a clothes-hanging ring 2-3. The sliding member 2-2 includes a sliding body 2-2-1 and a roller 2-2-2 rotatably installed on the top of the sliding body 2-2-1. The roller 2-2-2 is slidably embedded in the L-shaped track. A mounting groove 2-2-3 is provided at the bottom of the body 2-2-1 in the vertical direction. The mounting surface of the mounting groove 2-2-3 and the translation surface of the sliding member are located in the same plane. First connecting holes 2-2-4 and second connecting holes 2-2-5 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the mounting groove 2-2-3 and distributed from top to bottom. The two first connecting holes 2-2-4 are provided in the middle of the sliding member 2-2, and a connecting column 2-2-6 is fixedly connected between the two second connecting holes 2-2-5. The top of the hanging rod 2-1 is provided with a connecting piece 2-1-1 that inserts into the mounting groove 2-2-3. The connecting piece 2-1-1 is provided with an L-shaped notch. Connecting posts 2-2-6 snap into the top of the L-shaped notch from the entrance of the L-shaped notch, allowing the connecting piece 2-1-1 to be quickly inserted into the mounting groove 2-2-3, thereby achieving a removable connection with the sliding member 2-2. The thickness of the connecting piece 2-1-1 is slightly smaller than that of the mounting groove 2-2-3. The mutual cooperation between the mounting groove 2-2-3 and the connecting piece 2-1-1 ensures a stable connection between the hanging rod 2-1 and the sliding member 2-2, ensuring a substantially stable hanging surface and preventing large-angle rotation. To prevent the hanging rod 2-1 from swinging on the hanging surface, the connecting piece 2-1-1 in this embodiment has a rectangular cross-section and a width that matches the top of the L-shaped notch, forming a surface contact.

[0044] The hanging rod 2-1 can be constructed as a single piece or as a multi-section structure connected by threads. Users can choose a length appropriate for their height, catering to different user habits. During use, a quilt drying rod 7 can be added. Hooks are provided at both ends of the quilt drying rod 7, allowing it to be hung directly on the clothes hanging ring 2-3 of the clothes drying rod 2, making it convenient for drying bedding. The clothes hanging ring 2-3 is coplanar with the connecting piece 2-1-1. The bottom of the inner ring extends downward to form a sharp angle, enhancing the stability of hanging clothes. To enhance the aesthetics, the clothes hanging ring 2-3 can be shaped like a heart or apple.

[0045] A flexible traction belt 4 is provided below the L-shaped track 1. Third connection holes are pre-set on the flexible traction belt 4 at equal intervals. All the sliding members 2-2 are connected in series to the same flexible traction belt 4 by bolts passing through the first connection holes 2-2-4 and the corresponding third connection holes, thereby achieving flexible connection. A pulley 5 located on the side of the drying system is fixed on the synchronous track. The pulley is slidably mounted on the fuselage 1 and is connected to the first sliding member 2-2 by a buckle, thereby driving the entire drying system to move. In order to avoid collision and interference between adjacent clothes drying rods 2, a limit assembly 6 is provided between adjacent clothes drying rods 2. The limit assembly 6 includes a plurality of limit units with identical structures and independent of each other. The limit units adopt a structure similar to that of the sliding members and are detachably slidably mounted on the L-shaped track, thereby controlling the minimum distance between adjacent clothes drying rods 2 when the drying system is folded.

[0046] The utility model forms a drying system by adopting multiple clothes drying rods 2 flexibly connected and slidably installed on the body 1. The driving system drives the first clothes drying rod 2 to make reciprocating motion along the body, thereby driving the other clothes drying rods 2 to follow the motion one by one, thereby realizing the stretching and retraction of the drying system, and then automatically unfolding and moving to the front of the balcony when drying is needed, and automatically retracting and moving to the end of the body when drying is not needed or a transparent visual effect is desired, thereby changing the working mode of the traditional electric clothes drying machine and taking into account both drying and a good living experience.

[0047] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
