[0053] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a length adjustment mechanism for a steel wire rope 2 of a clothes drying machine, comprising a clothes drying rod 1, a steel wire rope 2 with a plug 20 at the end, and an adjustment mechanism.

[0054] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the end of the clothes-drying rod 1 is provided with a groove t extending along its length and a closure 3 that encloses the groove t. The groove t extends to the end surface of the clothes-drying rod 1. The groove t provides sufficient space for the installation of the adjustment mechanism. The closure 3 can be connected to the clothes-drying rod 1 in various ways, including sliding plug-in connection, snap-on connection, or fastener connection, all of which ensure a stable and reliable connection.

[0055] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes a connecting member 4, a blocking member 5, a first locking screw 6 and a second locking screw 7. The connecting member 4 and the blocking member 5 are arranged in the groove t and below the closing body 3. The blocking member 5 is located outside the connecting member 4.

[0056] The connecting member 4 is provided with a first transverse threaded hole 41, the blocking member 5 has a transverse hole 51 which is in the same straight line as the first threaded hole 41, the blocking member 5 is provided with a second vertical threaded hole 52, and the closing body 3 is provided with a vertical hole 31 for the plug 20 to pass through, and the vertical hole 31 is aligned with the second threaded hole 52.

[0057] The plug 20 of the wire rope 2 passes through the vertical hole 31 of the closing body 3, the second threaded hole 52 and the transverse hole 51 of the blocking member 5 in sequence, and then enters the first threaded hole 41 of the connecting member 4. The first locking screw 6 is screwed into the first threaded hole 41 to restrict the plug 20 inside the first locking screw 6. The second locking screw 7 is then screwed into the vertical hole 31 of the closing body 3 and the second threaded hole 52 of the blocking member 5, and the blocking member 5 is used to restrict the sliding of the connecting member 4 in the groove t.

[0058] It should be understood that in this structure, the adjustment structure is set in the groove below the enclosure, making the structure hidden, and improving the integrity and aesthetics. The end of the wire rope 2 is laterally bent and restrained laterally at the inner end of the first threaded hole 41 of the connector 4. This solves the problem of the original longitudinal plug 20 limiting suspension structure, where the plug 20 is easily detached due to the limiting force being in the same direction as gravity. This significantly enhances the connection security of the end of the wire rope 2 and improves the overall stability and safety of the clothes drying machine. In addition, the second locking screw 7 fixes the connector 4, achieving double locking of the adjustment mechanism, further improving the stability of the structure and the flexibility of adjustment.

[0059] Without dismantling the structure, the user can simply turn the two locking screws to adjust the length of the wire rope 2. This design not only makes the wire rope 2 more flexible to adjust, but also simplifies the adjustment process, making it quick and easy to perform, improving the user experience.

[0060] like Figures 5-7 As shown, preferably, the vertical hole 31 includes a large-diameter hole a that matches the plug 20 and a small-diameter hole b on the side of the circular hole that matches the outer diameter of the wire rope 2. A transverse rope hole 42 is provided on the side of the first threaded hole 41 and communicates with the first threaded hole 41. The transverse rope hole 42 is used to accommodate the portion of the wire rope 2 extending into the connecting member 4. The second threaded hole 52 is provided on the side of the longitudinal rope hole 53 that communicates with the second threaded hole 52. The transverse rope hole 42 is used to accommodate the portion of the wire rope 2 extending into the connecting member 4, and the longitudinal rope hole 53 is used to accommodate the portion of the wire rope 2 extending into the blocking member 5.

[0061] There are multiple assembly methods for the above structure. This embodiment provides an assembly method for the length adjustment structure of the wire rope 2 of a clothes drying machine. Specifically, the method includes the following steps:

[0062] Step A: Insert the connecting piece 4 into the groove t extending along the length direction of the clothes drying rod 1. The connecting piece 4 is provided with a first transverse threaded hole 41 and a transverse rope hole 42 located beside the first threaded hole 41 and penetrating the first threaded hole 41.

[0063] Step B: After the plug 20 at the lower end of the wire rope 2 passes through the vertical hole 31 of the closing body 3 and the second vertical threaded hole 52 of the blocking member 5 from top to bottom, it enters the groove t from the upper notch of the groove t and penetrates into the first threaded hole 41 of the connecting member 4.

[0064] Step C: The first locking screw 6 extends from the end notch of the groove t and is screwed into the first threaded hole 41 of the connecting member 4. The plug 20 is restricted at the inner end of the first locking screw 6, and the wire rope 2 enters the transverse rope hole 42.

[0065] Step D: Insert the blocking member 5 with the steel wire rope 2 through the end notch of the groove t into the groove t and locate it outside the connecting member 4.

[0066] Step E: Insert the closing body 3 with the steel wire rope 2 passed through it into the groove t from the end notch of the groove t, and the closing body 3 covers the upper notch of the groove t.

[0067] Step F: Move the steel wire rope 2 to the longitudinal rope hole 53 beside the second threaded hole 52 , and screw the second locking screw 7 through the vertical hole 31 of the closing body 3 into the second threaded hole 52 .

[0068] In this assembly method, when the steel wire rope 2 passes through the connector 4, the positions of the blocking member 5 and the closing body 3 are not restricted, and the steel wire rope 2 is in a free state, so it is easier to align and connect with the connector 4, which is more convenient for assembly.

[0069] Of course, in another assembly method, the steel wire rope 2 passes through the closing body 3, the blocking member 5 and the connecting member 4, and then the connecting member 4, the blocking member 5 and the closing body 3 are assembled to the clothes drying rod 1 in sequence. The specific steps are as follows:

[0070] Step A: Pass the plug 20 at the lower end of the wire rope 2 through the vertical hole 31 of the closing body 3 and the second vertical threaded hole 52 of the blocking member 5 from top to bottom, and then into the first threaded hole 41 of the connecting member 4.

[0071] Step B: The first locking screw 6 is screwed into the first threaded hole 41 of the connecting member 4 , the plug 20 is confined to the inner end of the first locking screw 6 , and the steel wire rope 2 enters the transverse rope hole 42 .

[0072] Step C: Insert the connector 4 into the groove t extending along the length direction of the clothes drying rod 1.

[0073] Step D: Insert the blocking member 5 into the groove t from the end notch of the groove t and locate it outside the connecting member 4.

[0074] Step E: Insert the closing body 3 with the steel wire rope 2 passed through it into the groove t from the end notch of the groove t, and the closing body 3 covers the upper notch of the groove t.

[0075] Step F: Move the steel wire rope 2 to the longitudinal rope hole 53 beside the second threaded hole 52 , and screw the second locking screw 7 through the vertical hole 31 of the closing body 3 into the second threaded hole 52 .

[0076] After assembly is completed, the method for adjusting the length of the wire rope 2 of the clothes drying machine includes the following steps:

[0077] Step G: Screw the second locking screw 7 upwards to move the second locking screw 7 away from the extension path of the first locking screw 6 .

[0078] Step H: The tool is inserted into the end notch of the groove t, passes through the transverse hole 51 of the blocking member 5 and touches the first locking screw 6 on the connecting member 4. By turning the first locking screw 6, the limit position of the plug 20 of the wire rope 2 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the hanging length of the wire rope 2.

[0079] like Figure 3 、 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the closing body 3 constitutes a part of the clothes-drying portion m of the clothes-drying rod 1. The specific structure is preferably as follows. The clothes-drying rod 1 has a slot T extending in the longitudinal direction, and the slot T forms a strip-shaped notch on the upper side of the clothes-drying rod 1. A plurality of clothes-drying blocks 8 that laterally interfere with each other are provided in the slot T. The lower part of the clothes-drying block 8 is inserted into the transverse notch of the slot T, and the upper part of the clothes-drying block 8 is exposed from the strip-shaped notch. After the plurality of clothes-drying blocks 8 are assembled into the slot T, the end of the slot T is left blank to form a groove t. After the closing body 3 is inserted into the groove t, the inner end interferes with the outer end of the adjacent clothes-drying block 8, and the clothes-drying block 8 and the closing body 3 together form the clothes-drying portion m exposed from the strip-shaped notch.

[0080] like Figure 5 As shown, the clothes-drying block 8 includes first plug-in portions 801 on either side of the width and a first raised portion 802 in the middle. The enclosure 3 also includes second plug-in portions 301 on either side of the width and a second raised portion 302 in the middle. The clothes-drying block 8 and the enclosure 3 have the same profile, with the first raised portion 802 and the second raised portion 302 both being higher in the middle and lower on the sides in the lengthwise direction. This creates a recessed portion v for hanging clothes between adjacent clothes-drying blocks 8 and between adjacent clothes-drying blocks 8 and the enclosure 3 when the two clothes-drying blocks 8 or between the enclosure 3 laterally collide.

[0081] Of course, if Figures 5-7 As shown, the multiple clothes-drying blocks 8 can also be integrated rod-shaped plug-ins, which include first plug-in portions 801 on both sides and a first raised portion 802 in the middle in the width direction. The enclosure 3 includes second plug-in portions 301 on both sides and a second raised portion 302 in the middle in the width direction. The clothes-drying block 8 and the enclosure 3 have the same contour shape, and the second raised portion 302 has a lower inner end in the length direction. The first raised portion 802 has multiple recessed portions v spaced apart from each other in the length direction, and the outer end has a low-lying shape that matches the inner end of the second raised portion 302, thereby forming a recessed portion v for hanging clothes between the clothes-drying block 8 and the enclosure 3.

[0082] like Figures 3-5As shown, the end of the drying rod 1 is equipped with an end cap 9, which seals the end of the groove t. The end cap 9 has an operating window p, which is blocked by a removable decorative cover 10. The operating window p communicates with the transverse hole 51. When the decorative cover 10 is opened, a tool can be inserted into the groove t and tightened through the transverse hole 51 to tighten the first locking screw 6. This facilitates adjustment of the length of the wire rope 2 during routine use and maintenance.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, groove t is provided with limiting ribs S on both sides, and a limiting groove w is formed between the lower surface of the limiting rib S and the bottom of groove t. The connecting member 4 includes a raised portion 401 and a limiting portion 402 at the bottom, which is located within the limiting groove w. The blocking member 5 includes a top plate 501, two side plates 502, and two bottom edges 503, which are located within the limiting groove w. A transverse hole 51 is formed between the top plate 501 and the two side plates 502, and a second threaded hole 52 is provided in the top plate 501. The rear side of the top plate 501 is bent downward to form a reinforcing wall g.

[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, the limiting rib S continues to extend from the rest of the slot T along its length. The limiting rib S is a certain distance from the edge of the strip-shaped notch. The sidewall of the slot T bends inward at the top to form an upper limit edge J. An insertion channel is formed between the upper limit edge J and the limiting rib S for insertion of the first plug-in portion 801 and the second plug-in portion 301.

[0085] like Figures 6-7 As shown, the shape of the frame formed by the protrusion 401 of the connecting member 4 and the top plate 501 and the two side plates 502 of the blocking member 5 matches the inner contour of the second protrusion 302 of the closing body 3, so that the two are embedded, thereby improving the stability and firmness of the structure. Figure 4 As shown, the tip of the second locking screw 7 rests on the bottom of the groove t, which further improves the firmness of the structure.

[0086] The utility model introduces a wire rope length adjustment mechanism of a clothes drying machine and its assembly and adjustment methods.

[0087] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help you understand the present invention and its core concept. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
