DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] 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.

[0036] (Example 1)

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 A clothes drying rack is shown, comprising a top frame 1 and clothes drying rods 2, wherein the top frame 1 is fixedly arranged, for example, installed on the top of a balcony, and a plurality of clothes drying rods 2 are arranged along the length direction of the top frame for hanging clothes to be dried. Each clothes drying rod is arranged in a vertical direction and the top is slidably connected to the top frame 1, so that it can move along the top frame 1 under the action of an external force, and the top frame 1 defines the movement range and path of the clothes drying rod. Adjacent clothes drying rods are flexibly connected along the arrangement direction to form a whole, so that they move closer to and away from each other under the action of an external force, thereby shortening and lengthening the clothes drying area, as well as moving the entire clothes drying area. Since each independent clothes drying rod 2 is flexibly connected, the overall structure has excellent bending performance. By setting different top frame shapes, different clothes drying ranges can be achieved to meet more usage requirements, taking into account the clothes drying function and good lighting and living experience.

[0038] Specifically, the top frame 1 is a track with a rectangular, L-shaped, U-shaped, or runway-shaped structure. All track shapes feature circular arc transitions at their corners, meeting the daily laundry needs of different families. A rectangular track offers a simple structure and low manufacturing costs. An L-shaped or U-shaped track allows the clothesline to be moved completely to the side of the balcony, providing more daylight and a better visual experience. A runway-shaped track provides a larger drying area. This embodiment utilizes an L-shaped track, balancing practicality and affordability.

[0039] Between adjacent clothes-drying rods 2, a limit assembly 3 is slidably mounted on the top frame 1. This is used to define the minimum spacing between the clothes-drying rods when they are brought together, preventing interference between adjacent clothes-drying rods 2 due to the distance being too small. The ends of the limit assembly 3 abut against the two clothes-drying rods 2 when the adjacent clothes-drying rods are brought together, thus not only limiting the spacing but also allowing the limit assembly to push the upper ends of the clothes-drying rods to move, achieving a better folding effect. Considering that different households have different requirements for the spacing after folding, the limit assembly of this embodiment is composed of multiple independent limit units with identical structures. The top of each limit unit is detachably and slidably mounted on the top frame 1.

[0040] The top of the clothesline 2 is detachably connected to a slider 4. Both the slider 4 and the top of the stopper are equipped with rollers that snap into the track of the top frame 1. This roller structure achieves a sliding connection, resulting in a simple structure and low friction coefficient, making movement more effortless and smooth. During actual installation, the number of clothesline and stoppers can be freely selected based on the length of the top frame and the needs.

[0041] A mounting groove 4-1 is provided at the bottom of the sliding member 4 in the vertical direction. The mounting surface of the mounting groove 4-1 is located in the same plane as the translation surface of the sliding member 4 and the top extends to the upper part of the sliding member. The two sides of the mounting groove 4-1 are symmetrically provided with first connecting holes 4-2 and second connecting holes 4-3 opened on the sliding member and distributed from top to bottom. The two first connecting holes 4-2 are provided in the middle of the sliding member 4, and a connecting column 4-4 is fixedly connected between the two second connecting holes 4-3.

[0042] The clothesline 2 includes a pull rod 2-1, a connecting piece 2-2 fixed at the top and bottom of the pull rod 2-1, and a clothesline ring 2-3. The inner bottom of the clothesline ring 2-3 extends downward to form a sharp angle, enhancing the stability of the clothes hanging. To enhance aesthetics, the clothesline ring 2-3 can be shaped like a heart or apple. The connecting piece 2-2 and the clothesline ring 2-3 are located on the same plane and have a thickness slightly smaller than that of the mounting groove 4-1. The connecting piece 2-2 is provided with an L-shaped notch 2-2-1. The connecting post 4-4 snaps from the entrance of the L-shaped notch into the top of the L-shaped notch 2-2-1, allowing the connecting piece 2-2 to be quickly inserted into the mounting groove 4-1 and removably connected to the slider 4. The interaction between the mounting groove 4-1 and the connecting piece 2-2 ensures a stable connection between the clothesline and the slider, ensuring a substantially stable hanging surface and preventing large angles of rotation. In order to prevent the clothesline from swinging on the clothes hanging plane, the cross section of the connecting piece 2-2 in this embodiment is rectangular and the width is adapted to the top of the L-shaped notch to form surface contact.

[0043] A flexible traction belt 5 is connected between adjacent sliding members 4 to achieve flexible connection. The flexible traction belt 5 can be a multi-segment structure or a continuous structure. Bolts or other connecting members are passed through the first connecting hole 4-2 and the flexible traction belt 5 to achieve connection between the flexible traction belt 5 and the middle part of the sliding member 4, thereby improving the stability and balance of the connection.

[0044] This embodiment arranges a plurality of clothes-drying rods 2 slidably mounted on the top rack 1 to dry multiple pieces of clothes separately, and adjacent clothes-drying rods 2 are flexibly connected to form a whole, so that they can approach each other and be together under the pull of a horizontal external force to form a shorter clothes-drying area, or separate from each other under the pull of a horizontal opposite external force to form a longer clothes-drying area. The clothes-drying area can be moved to any area within the range of the top rack as needed, and since each independent clothes-drying rod is flexibly connected, the overall structure has excellent bending performance. By setting different top rack shapes, different clothes-drying ranges can be achieved to meet more usage needs, taking into account the clothes-drying function and good lighting and living experience.

[0045] 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.
