Similarly, "first" and "second" are only for ease of understanding and have no other directional meaning, and cannot be considered as limitations on this utility model.

[0069] like Figures 1-18 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothes drying rack equipped with an escape rope ladder 310. This clothes drying rack not only has basic clothes drying functions, but also features an escape rope ladder 310, enhancing its practicality and safety. It includes a main unit 100 fixed to the ceiling, a height-adjustable drying rod 2, and a rope ladder assembly 300.

[0070] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the main unit 100 includes a housing 110 and a power system 120 for raising and lowering the drying rod 2. The housing 110 consists of a top plate 111, side walls 112, and a panel 113. The top plate 111 serves as a key connection point and is firmly fixed to a predetermined first position on the ceiling by a first set of expansion screws g, ensuring the stability and safety of the main unit 100.

[0071] As shown in Figures 7-12 The soft rope ladder assembly 300 is composed of a soft rope ladder 310 and two metal connectors 320. The soft rope ladder 310 is made of two parallel ropes 311 and a plurality of bars 312 evenly distributed between the two ropes 311, which not only ensures the comfort of use, but also enhances the overall load-bearing capacity. The upper end of each rope 311 is tied to a metal connector 320, ensuring the stable connection of the soft rope ladder 310.

[0072] As shown in Figures 8-9 , 14, the two metal connectors 320 are connected through the second set of expansion screws h, passing through the top plate 111 and firmly screwed into the second position of the ceiling, forming a reliable connection point between the soft rope ladder 310 and the main machine 100. When the soft rope ladder 310 is not needed, it can be conveniently stored in the shell 110, saving space and maintaining the neatness of the room.

[0073] More preferably, the panel 113 at the position of the soft rope ladder 310 is specially designed with an opening 410 and equipped with a flexible movable cover 420. The first lock 430 is installed between the movable cover 420 and the panel 113, which can easily open or close the movable cover 420 according to the needs, ensuring the convenient use of the soft rope ladder 310 and enhancing the safety. When the soft rope ladder 310 needs to be used in an emergency, simply open the movable cover 420, and the soft rope ladder 310 will quickly fall from the opening 410, providing a reliable escape route.

[0074] As shown in Figures 4-6 , the panel 113 is designed with a first button 440 for controlling the opening and closing operation of the first lock 430, and the metal connector 320 is composed of a metal plate 312 and a U-shaped connecting part 322. The U-shaped connecting part 322 is firmly welded to the lower side of the metal plate 321, ensuring the stability of the connection. The upper end of the rope 311 is equipped with a special hook 470, which is ingeniously hooked on the U-shaped connecting part 322, making the installation and removal of the soft rope ladder 310 simple.

[0075] Each metal bottom plate 116 passes through two expansion screws g to ensure its tight connection with the ceiling. At the same time, the top plate 111 is also provided with a first notch 114 that perfectly matches the shape of the metal bottom plate 116, which not only facilitates the installation of the metal bottom plate 116, but also ensures the stability of the top plate 111.

[0076] Preferably, as shown in Figures 4-10As shown, the inside of the housing 110 is also equipped with a box for storing the soft rope ladder assembly 300, which is composed of a box body 400 and a box cover 110. One side of the box cover 110 is connected to the box body 400 through a hinge, and the other side is connected to the box body 400 through a second lock 450 to provide additional security. The second lock 450 is specially designed with a housing that houses a second button 460 for controlling the opening and closing of the lock. When the movable cover 420 is in the closed state, its inner surface will press the second button 460, thereby automatically unlocking the second lock 450, allowing the box cover to be smoothly opened.

[0077] The box body 400 is composed of a box bottom plate and box side walls, and the box bottom plate is firmly connected to the top plate 111 through a plurality of first screws. In addition, the box bottom plate is also provided with a second notch 115 that perfectly matches the shape of the metal plate 321, which further ensures the perfect fit of the metal connecting piece 320 with the box body 400.

[0078] The two drying rods 2 are connected to the power system 120 through four lifting connecting rods, which can control the lifting operation of the drying rods 2 under the control of the power system 120. The two drying rods 2 are located on both sides of the main machine 100, and their lengths perfectly match the length of the main machine 100, ensuring the maximum space for drying clothes. The power system 120 also supports remote control, and the lifting operation of the drying rods 2 can be easily achieved by pressing the remote control.

[0079] The device can be in three states: storage, drying, and escape. In the storage state, the drying rods 2 are in the retracted state, and the drying function is turned off; the soft rope ladder assembly 300 is stored in the box, and the box cover and the movable cover 420 are in the locked state; the first lock 430 and the second lock 450 are in the locked state and cannot be unlocked by the buttons. In the drying state, the drying rods 2 are in the raised state and can be used to dry clothes; the soft rope ladder assembly 300 is still stored in the box, and the box cover and the movable cover 420 are in the locked state; the first lock 430 and the second lock 450 are in the unlocked state and can be operated by the buttons. In the escape state, the drying rods 2 are in the retracted state, and the drying function is turned off; press the first button 440 to unlock the first lock 430 and open the movable cover 420; press the second button 460 to unlock the second lock 450 and open the box cover, and the soft rope ladder assembly 300 falls out of the box; throw the soft rope ladder 310 out of the balcony or window to escape.

[0080] The metal connecting piece 320 is fixed to the ceiling through expansion screws h, and the force is not on the clothes drying machine. The soft rope ladder 310 and the metal connecting piece 320 are an integral whole, and the gap between the hooks is smaller than the diameter of the metal connecting piece 320, so the hooks will not come off the metal connecting piece 320. The whole installation is divided into two parts, the clothes drying machine and the soft rope ladder 310.

[0081] The box bottom plate is reserved with an opening enough to install the metal connecting piece 320, the metal connecting piece 320 is arranged in the box body 400 with the soft rope ladder 310 being arranged and stored, the second lock 450 locks the box cover, and the first lock 430 locks the movable cover 420.

[0082] During installation of the device, the two locks are in a locked state, the locked state cannot control the lock through the button; after installation is completed, the locked state of the lock is released, and the lock can be controlled through the button.

[0083] As shown in Figures 14-18 To simulate the use scene of the escape clothes drying machine on the balcony of a family, first, the first button 440 is pressed to open the back panel 113 opening 410, the second button 460 is pressed to open the movable cover 420, the soft rope ladder falls down, and then the soft rope ladder 310 is thrown out of the balcony or window, and the soft rope ladder outside the balcony or window is used to escape.

[0084] The clothes drying machine provided with the escape soft rope ladder is introduced, and the principle and implementation mode of the utility model are described by applying specific examples. The above embodiment is only used to help understand the utility model and the core idea. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, the utility model can be improved and modified without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the utility model claim.
