For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; and direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] In this application, a clothes drying machine is described as an embodiment of a suspended household appliance.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1-3Specifically, the clothes drying machine provided in this application includes a main body 11. In this embodiment, main body 11 refers to the main structural part of the clothes drying machine. A connector 12 is provided at the upper end of main body 11. The main function of connector 12 is to connect main body 11 to the installation surface 3 of a building or the installation surface 3 of a load-bearing structure.

[0033] In a feasible embodiment, the connecting member 12 can be selected as a connecting rod or a flexible rope to adapt to different installation requirements.

[0034] Further, refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, there are four connecting members 12, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clothes drying machine along the length direction of the clothes drying machine, with two arranged on each side. This helps to improve the overall stability and balance of the clothes drying machine, thereby improving its safety performance during use.

[0035] In a feasible embodiment, the connecting member 12 is fixedly connected to the building installation surface 3 by using expansion bolts.

[0036] Expansion bolts are special threaded connectors used to secure pipe supports, hangers, brackets, or equipment to walls, floors, or columns. Specifically, the built-in expansion bolt in connector 12 is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the building wall or ceiling. The nut is then tightened, causing the bolt head to expand and embed tightly into the hole, securing the clothes drying machine to the mounting surface 3.

[0037] Although expansion bolts provide strong anchoring force during initial installation, over time and with increased frequency of use, the connection between the expansion bolt and the mounting surface 3 may gradually loosen due to various factors. For example, aging of building materials, changes in ambient temperature, wall vibration, or frequent load changes may reduce the friction between the expansion bolt and the inner wall of the bolt hole, thereby affecting the fixing effect and causing the suspended appliance to wobble, shift, or even fall off during use.

[0038] Therefore, the clothes drying machine provided in this embodiment further provides a detection device 2 for monitoring the connection status between the connecting member 12 and the installation surface 3.

[0039] Specifically, the detection device 2 is disposed between the main body 11 and the mounting surface 3 of the clothes drying machine, and mainly includes two parts: a detection component and a trigger component 22 .

[0040] The main function of the detection component is to sense and determine the connection status between the connector 12 and the mounting surface 3 through its detection end. The detection component can be a pressure sensor or a micro switch 210 or other device that can accurately sense and determine the connection status between the connector 12 and the mounting surface 3.

[0041] Specifically, the detection assembly is mounted on the side of the main body 11 facing the mounting surface 3, and the two ends of the trigger assembly 22 respectively abut the detection end of the detection assembly and the mounting surface 3. The trigger assembly 22 is designed so that its physical position or state changes accordingly when the connection state between the connector 12 and the mounting surface 3 changes.

[0042] Since the trigger assembly 22 is in direct contact with the detection end of the detection assembly, the detection assembly determines the connection state between the connector 12 and the mounting surface 3 based on the contact state between the detection assembly and the trigger assembly 22. The contact state refers to the physical contact between the detection assembly and the trigger assembly 22.

[0043] When the connector 12 is well fixed, the physical contact between the trigger assembly 22 and the detection assembly is in a specific position or state, so that the detection assembly can sense a normal contact signal.

[0044] When the clothes drying machine becomes loose due to extended use or external forces, the position or state of the trigger assembly 22 changes, affecting its contact with the detection assembly. The detection assembly senses this change and determines whether there is an abnormality in the connection between the connector 12 and the mounting surface 3. If the contact state is abnormal, the detection assembly interprets this information as a loose connector 12 and takes appropriate measures, such as issuing an alarm to prompt the user to inspect and perform maintenance.

[0045] To sum up, the design of the detection device 2 can monitor the connection status between the connector 12 and the mounting surface 3 in real time, discover potential loose problems in advance, and effectively avoid shaking, deviation or even falling off of the equipment caused by loose connector 12, thereby improving the safety of the clothes dryer and providing users with a more reliable and secure use environment.

[0046] In addition, through timely detection and prompts from the detection device 2, users can perform necessary maintenance and reinforcement before the problem worsens, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs caused by sudden failures.

[0047] In one embodiment, the clothes drying machine further includes an alarm module controller, and information is transmitted between the alarm module and the controller via a communication connection.

[0048] The detection component (such as micro switch 210 or pressure sensor) monitors the contact state between the detection component 210 and the trigger component 22 in real time and transmits the detected signal to the controller. The controller analyzes these detection signals to determine whether an alarm prompt needs to be issued.

[0049] Specifically, if the detection assembly detects looseness between connector 12 and mounting surface 3 or abnormal displacement of trigger assembly 22, the controller selectively sends a command to the alarm module based on pre-set logic and conditions. Upon receiving the controller's command, the alarm module immediately issues an alarm, alerting the user or operator to possible looseness or abnormality, allowing them to take timely maintenance or adjustment measures to ensure the safety and stability of the suspended appliance. This design not only improves the intelligence level of the clothes drying system but also enhances the reliability of the device and the user's sense of security.

[0050] In one embodiment, the detection device 2 is located in the middle of the main body 11, which can effectively improve the accuracy of the detection.

[0051] Specifically, the middle position can usually ensure that the detection device 2 can fully and evenly sense the state change between the connecting member 12 and the mounting surface 3.

[0052] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 and 3 The trigger assembly 22 is composed of a trigger rod 221 and an adjusting portion 222 connected to the trigger rod 221. The trigger rod 221 abuts against the detection end of the detection assembly, and the adjusting portion 222 abuts against the mounting portion.

[0053] Furthermore, the adjustment portion 222 can move axially along the trigger rod 221, which allows the total length of the trigger assembly 22 to be flexibly adjusted, so that it can adapt to the distance between the main body 11 and the mounting surface 3 after the main body 11 is installed. When the distance between the main body 11 and the mounting surface 3 changes, such changes can be easily coped with by adjusting the length of the trigger assembly 22.

[0054] Therefore, the design of the trigger component 22 with adjustable length helps to increase the versatility and adaptability of the detection device 2, so that the trigger component 22 can ensure close contact with the detection component regardless of the environment, thereby improving the accuracy of detection.

[0055] In a feasible embodiment, the trigger rod 221 is a threaded rod, and the adjusting portion 222 is a sleeve that cooperates with the threaded rod. By rotating the adjusting portion 222, the adjusting portion 222 can move along the axial direction of the trigger rod 221, thereby achieving fine-tuning of the length of the trigger assembly 22 to accurately adapt to the change in the distance between the main body 11 and the mounting surface 3.

[0056] Furthermore, the self-locking feature of the threaded connection maintains the same length after adjustment, preventing loosening and displacement caused by vibration or external forces. This simple and reliable structure offers high durability and stability, making it suitable for applications requiring frequent adjustments and precise positioning, providing users with a convenient and precise adjustment solution.

[0057] In one embodiment, the trigger rod 221 is composed of a plurality of sequentially connected monomers 2210, and these monomers 2210 are detachably connected. The specific structure of the monomer 2210 can be understood as an independent single rod.

[0058] The primary purpose of this structure is to allow for coarse adjustment of the overall length of the trigger assembly 22 when the distance between the main body 11 or connector 12 and the mounting surface 3 varies significantly. For example, by adding or removing individual rods, the user can flexibly adjust the overall length of the trigger rod 221 to meet varying installation requirements. Because each individual rod is independent, this design not only enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the trigger assembly 22 but also facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, as well as maintenance.

[0059] In one embodiment, the detection assembly adopts a micro switch 210 , whose transmission element directly contacts the trigger rod 221 .

[0060] Microswitch 210 is a switch that is rapidly actuated by external mechanical force and is also known as a sensitive switch. Its operating principle is as follows: external mechanical force acts on an actuating reed through a transmission element (such as a pin, button, lever, roller, etc.). When the actuating reed is subjected to this mechanical force and moves to a critical point, it produces an instantaneous action, causing the moving contact at the end of the actuating reed to quickly connect or disconnect with the fixed contact, thereby switching the circuit state. This process detects and reflects changes in external mechanical force by rapidly closing or opening the circuit.

[0061] In conjunction with the structure of the trigger assembly 22 in this embodiment, when the connection between the connector 12 and the mounting surface 3 becomes loose, the trigger rod 221 will change position accordingly due to the displacement or gap caused by the loosening. This change is transmitted through the trigger rod 221 to the transmission element of the micro switch 210 in contact with it.

[0062] According to the operating principle of microswitch 210, when the transmission element senses the displacement or pressure change of trigger rod 221, it applies this mechanical force to the actuating reed inside microswitch 210. Once the actuating reed reaches its critical point, microswitch 210 rapidly switches its circuit state, rapidly connecting or disconnecting the movable contact and the fixed contact. This change in circuit state promptly indicates any looseness between connector 12 and mounting surface 3.

[0063] In this way, the control system of the clothes drying machine can quickly detect the abnormal state of loose mechanical connection, and realize alarm or automatic adjustment through the signal feedback of micro switch 210, thereby ensuring stable operation and timely maintenance of the equipment.

[0064] In one embodiment, the transmission element adopts a transmission rod 211 structure, and a guide blind hole is provided at one end of the trigger rod 221 close to the transmission rod 211. A portion of the transmission rod 211 extends into the guide blind hole and directly contacts the bottom surface of the blind hole.

[0065] This structural design ensures a more stable and reliable connection between the transmission rod 211 and the trigger rod 221. Due to the guiding effect of the transmission rod 211 in the guide blind hole, the trigger rod 221 can more accurately transmit mechanical force when subjected to external force without deviation or misalignment.

[0066] This connection method not only enhances the stability of the trigger assembly 22 , but also ensures the sensitivity of the trigger response, ensuring that the micro switch 210 can accurately sense and respond to subtle changes in the trigger rod 221 .

[0067] In one embodiment, the detection component is a pressure sensor (not shown in the figure), and its sensing end is in direct contact with the trigger rod 221.

[0068] The working principle of the pressure sensor is to detect changes in pressure or force applied to it through the sensing end and convert these physical quantities into electrical signals for output.

[0069] In conjunction with the aforementioned structure of the trigger lever 221, when the connection between the connector 12 and the mounting surface 3 becomes loose, the resulting displacement or gap in the trigger lever 221 causes a corresponding change in the contact force between the trigger lever 221 and the sensing end of the pressure sensor. The sensing end responds to the pressure change by rapidly converting this mechanical change into a corresponding electrical signal. These electrical signals are then transmitted to the controller, enabling real-time monitoring and feedback of the trigger lever 221's status.

[0070] This design allows the pressure sensor to accurately detect even tiny pressure changes on trigger rod 221, ensuring a timely system response and transmitting this information to the controller. This not only improves detection sensitivity and accuracy, but also enhances the reliability and responsiveness of the device under various operating conditions, enabling more precise control and monitoring.

[0071] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
