Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of home clothes drying equipment, and in particular, it designs a clothes drying rack with a built-in hidden hook, which aims to enhance functionality and aesthetics. Background Technology

[0002] Clothes racks are common household items, primarily used for drying clothes and other home textiles. With technological advancements and improved living standards, people have increasingly higher demands for clothes racks, expecting them not only to have basic drying functions but also to be aesthetically pleasing, multifunctional, and intelligent. Therefore, the design and technology of clothes racks are constantly innovating to meet the diverse needs of users.

[0003] Significant progress has been made in the field of clothes drying rack technology. For example, patent CN221701894U, published on September 13, 2024, discloses a clothes drying rack with lighting. This patent proposes to improve the accuracy and efficiency of hanging clothes by incorporating lighting components on the shell assembly, allowing users to clearly see the position of the hanging clothes in the dark. Furthermore, this patent ensures the overall balance of the drying assembly by setting multiple lifting components, and achieves intelligent operation by controlling the working status of the lighting components and the lifting of the drying assembly via remote control.

[0004] While existing clothes drying racks have made some progress in functionality and design, they still have some problems and limitations, specifically in the following aspects: Limited functionality: Traditional telescopic clothes drying racks are usually only used for drying quilts and clothes, lacking features such as hooks, and cannot meet the diverse needs of users. Poor aesthetics: When the clothes drying rack is retracted, the small crossbar in the middle can easily interfere with the main unit, preventing it from being completely hidden, affecting both aesthetics and user experience. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new multi-functional concealed clothes drying rack to solve the above problems and improve the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of limited functionality, poor aesthetics, and limited lighting in existing clothes drying equipment, this invention aims to solve at least one of these technical problems to a certain extent. By designing a clothes drying rack with a built-in hidden hook, this invention not only provides more drying methods but also achieves a concealed design, improving aesthetics and ease of use. Furthermore, the optimized lighting design ensures good lighting performance under different usage conditions, thereby significantly improving the user experience.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0035] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figures 1 to 10 The clothes drying rack of this embodiment shown has a built-in hidden hook 313. The clothes drying rack mainly consists of a housing assembly 100, a lifting assembly 200, and a clothes drying assembly 300. The housing assembly 100 includes a mounting housing for fixing and supporting the entire structure of the clothes drying rack. There are at least two lifting assemblies 200, one end of which is connected to the housing assembly 100, and the other end is connected to the clothes drying assembly 300. The lifting assemblies 200 raise or lower the clothes drying assembly 300 through a drive mechanism provided within the housing assembly 100, thereby facilitating the user's drying of clothes.

[0038] The clothes drying assembly 300 includes a first horizontal bar 310 with multiple through holes 317 for hanging clothes or other items. The first horizontal bar 310 serves as the main support structure for drying clothes. In addition to the first horizontal bar 310, this embodiment also includes a first drying rod 311, which has a retractable hook 313.

[0039] The first drying rod 311 includes an opening groove 316 and a mounting groove 315. The hook 313 is set in the mounting groove 315 via a mounting rod 314. This allows the hook 313 to be built-in or hidden. When the first drying rod 311 retracts into the first crossbar 310, the hook 313 can automatically retract into the opening groove 316 inside the telescopic rod under the obstruction of the first crossbar 310. This does not affect the smooth use of the telescopic rod and avoids the hook 313 being exposed, thus improving the overall aesthetics.

[0040] The lifting assembly 200 includes a lifting crossbar 220. A first crossbar 310 is mounted on the lifting crossbar 220 via a first mounting member 330 and a second mounting member 340. The first mounting member 330 and the second mounting member 340 are respectively provided with a first arc surface 331 and a second arc surface 341 that fit against the first crossbar 310 to increase the stability of the installation.

[0041] The clothes drying assembly 300 also includes a second crossbar 320, and the second mounting component 340 is provided with a third arc surface 342, on which the second crossbar 320 is placed.

[0042] The first drying rod 311 has first connecting rods 312 at both ends, and the second crossbar 320 has second drying rods 321 that are retractable at both ends. The second drying rods 321 are hinged to the first connecting rods 312 via second connecting rods 322 to realize the telescopic function of the rods. The main function of the second crossbar 320 and the second drying rods 321 is to expand the drying space. Users can adjust the size of the drying space as needed, increasing the flexibility and practicality of the clothes rack.

[0043] This embodiment also includes a lighting assembly 400, which is installed inside the housing assembly 100 via a snap-fit ​​plate 410. The snap-fit ​​plate 410 allows for easy installation and removal of the light panel, ensuring that the light panel is securely fixed to the housing assembly 100.

[0044] A third crossbar 318 is also provided at both ends of the first crossbar 310. The third crossbar 318 is located between the lifting crossbar 220 and the first connecting rod 312. When the clothes drying rack is retracted, the third crossbar 318 will not interfere with the lighting assembly 400. The third crossbar 318 can increase the drying space and also plays a reinforcing role, enhancing the structural stability of the entire clothes drying assembly 300.

[0045] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When a user needs to dry clothes, the lifting component 200 is controlled by the drive mechanism within the housing component 100, causing the clothes drying component 300 to rise or fall to a suitable position. During the drying process, the user can use the built-in hook 313 structure on the telescopic rod to hang more types of items, such as towels, socks, and other small items, thus greatly expanding the application scenarios of the clothes rack. Simultaneously, due to the design of the extended areas on both sides of the end cap, and the fact that the hook 313 can be stored inside the telescopic rod when the clothes rack is retracted, interference with the housing component 100 can be avoided. This embodiment ensures that the clothes rack maintains good lighting and visual effects under different usage conditions.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] like Figure 10As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 lies in the installation method of the hooks. All hooks 313 are connected by steel wire ropes 319. The steel wire rope 319 includes horizontal bars 3192 and zigzag bars 3191. Each adjacent horizontal bar 3192 and zigzag bar 3191 forms a right angle, thus creating a continuous stepped shape. The hooks 313 are rotatably hung on the zigzag bars 3191. The length of the horizontal bar 3192 is greater than the length of the hook, so that the hooks 313 can be stored inside the first drying rod 311 without interference.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
