Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model pertains to a flexible furniture product, specifically a bedding drying rack set that is fastened to the edge of a bed board, making it easy to dry bedding and manage the bed after it is supported. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, people usually dry bedding that has been used for a long time or has become damp by hanging it up to air it out or by tumble drying it. After drying, they put it back on the bed and tidy it up. Some people also use electric blankets to directly heat it. However, hanging the bedding is not only laborious but also often limited by weather and space. When using electric blankets, the heating speed is slow due to power limitations, and the heating only occurs on the outer surface of the bedding layers, resulting in uneven heating and limited temperature rise on the outer surface, making it difficult to achieve a complete drying effect.

[0003] The “warm air pad,” “safety protection device for fan heater,” and “bed drying machine” mentioned in Chinese patent applications No. 200410085370.6, 201510163242.7, and 201611024847.9 are designs in the same series. Although they achieve precise and rapid heating and drying functions, their complex structure, high cost, and difficulty in cleaning and maintenance have resulted in limited promotion.

[0004] In view of this, a more efficient, economical, and versatile bed drying and finishing device or corresponding auxiliary device can be provided to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary support that can directly support bedding such as quilts and sheets on the bed and keep them suspended in the air. This allows household heating devices such as hair dryers to be used to accelerate the drying of the supported bedding in the suspended space below, or to directly utilize the suspended space to accelerate the drying speed of the supported bedding when it is left to stand still. It also makes it convenient to clean the bed before the support is retracted.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a bedding drying support set based on bed board edge fastening, comprising: a single-use drying support and a support section for use in combination with multiple supports. The single-use drying support consists of three parts: support legs, upper support column, and drying crossbar.

[0007] The support legs are fixed support structures that are horizontally folded inward from the lower end of the upper column and set between the bed board and the mattress. They provide basic support points for the entire drying support on both sides of the bed. After drying is completed, the connection between the entire drying support and the bed can be detached from the support legs.

[0008] The uplift column is a rigid column that is vertically attached to the mattress on both sides of the bed and connects the support legs to the drying bar. Its length is equal to and greater than the thickness of the mattress by a certain amount to ensure that the arm can be inserted between the drying item and the bed surface for operation. The bed surface is the upper surface of the bed under the drying item.

[0009] The drying support bar is a rigid straight bar that is horizontally mounted above the bed. Its two ends are fixed by the upper support column to support the weight of the raised part of the bedding. When two or more bars are used side by side, more or even the entire bedding can be covered on the drying support bar group.

[0010] Preferably, the crossbar for drying can be designed to be telescopic, which can accommodate beds of different sizes and shapes and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the entire drying support frame.

[0011] Preferably, the bending connection between the upper and lower ends of the cantilever column and the support foot and the support crossbar can be a rigid connection or an elastic folding connection. When it is an elastic folding connection, it can be convenient to install and disassemble, and can also be folded into a parallel state for easy storage when not in use.

[0012] Preferably, the connection between the support legs and the bed can be either a universal insertion type or a dedicated mechanical interface type. When it is a universal insertion type, simply lift the mattress at the corresponding position and insert the support legs during installation, and pull out the support legs directly during disassembly. When it is a dedicated mechanical interface type, the edge of the bed board needs to be modified to set a dedicated interface so that the support legs can be reliably and conveniently installed and removed from the edge of the bed board. In this case, the support legs are of the type that connects to the dedicated mechanical interface on the side of the bed.

[0013] Preferably, when the support leg is a general insertion type, its shape can be a single-point support leg with a single short rigid column, or a double-point or multi-point support leg with two or more parallel short rigid columns, and the segments are rigidly connected or elastically foldable connected, or a support leg with a small rigid plane. When it is a double-point or multi-point support leg and the segments are elastically foldable connected, the installation or disassembly operation can be completed at this elastically foldable connection when assembling or disassembling the entire support bracket.

[0014] The inter-bracing section is a component that vertically connects adjacent crossbars when multiple sets of drying racks are used side by side to ensure that the distance between adjacent crossbars remains unchanged, thereby reducing swaying. Each inter-bracing section consists of elastic claws at both ends and a rigid inter-bracing column in the middle. The elastic claws are semi-open and their inner diameter matches the diameter of the drying crossbar, so that the drying crossbar can be inserted or removed from the semi-open part of the elastic claw.

[0015] Preferably, the semi-opening direction of the elastic claw clamp of the inter-bracing rod can be outward along both ends of the inter-bracing rod, or it can be upward or downward in the transverse direction. In use, a single inter-bracing rod can be used to fix two adjacent crossbars, or two or more inter-bracing rods can be used to fix two adjacent crossbars. When there are three or more consecutive crossbars that need to be fixed at a fixed spacing, the series-connected elastic claw clamps of the inter-bracing rods need to be fixed in an alternating manner.

[0016] A stress analysis of the entire drying rack reveals that single-point support legs, when used alone, rely solely on friction between the upper column and the mattress, friction between the support leg and the mattress board, or the constraint or friction of the mechanical interface with the bedside to prevent the upper column from rotating around the support leg along the bed edge. Therefore, the overall stability of the drying rack is relatively weak. In contrast, double-point or multi-point support legs, when used alone, form a planar force system at each support point and the connection point between the upper column and the drying crossbar, resulting in better structural torsional resistance. Small, rigid planar support legs also fall under the category of multi-point support legs. When two or more single-point support legs are used side-by-side with inter-bracing rods added, the combined support legs also form a large structural torsional resistance effect, achieving similar stability.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] A. Using a drying rack as an auxiliary drying device for bedding is low-cost, easy to assemble and disassemble, takes up little space, has flexible installation methods, and is suitable for beds of different sizes and shapes;

[0019] B. The drying method of using the hanging rack is flexible. It can be used to dry with heating devices such as hair dryers that are commonly used in households, or it can be used to dissipate heat after prolonged use of electric blankets, or it can be kept in a suspended state for a long time to allow natural ventilation and drying when no one is near the bed. When using heating devices such as hair dryers for active heating, it can also be used to dry local areas that need to be dried at a fixed temperature and location according to the actual situation, thereby reducing ineffective energy consumption.

[0020] C. By adjusting the spacing and number of different drying racks and inter-bracing rods, bedding of different sizes, including pillows and quilts, can be supported. It also helps to smooth and clean the bed in a small room. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The core of this invention is to provide an auxiliary support that can support bedding on a bed and keep it suspended, so as to accelerate natural air drying or dry and arrange it from below using household heating appliances.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 1 A front view of a single-support type drying rack; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a double-support type drying rack; Figure 3 The images show front and oblique views of several representative general-purpose insert bracket legs. Figure 4 This is a rendering of the single-support drying rack of this utility model applied to a regular double bed; Figure 5 This is a magnified diagram of the interbracing member with the middle section omitted. Figure 6 This is a rendering of the effect when the two-support drying rack and two inter-bracing rods of this utility model are combined and applied to a regular double bed.

[0032] The bedding drying support set based on bed board edge fastening provided by this utility model includes three parts: support legs 1, upper column 2, and drying crossbar 3, as well as inter-support rod 4 when multiple supports are used in combination.

[0033] Theoretically, based on the number of drying racks and whether or not the inter-bracing rod 4 is used, there are three implementation methods: single drying rack, two or more drying racks without inter-bracing rod 4, and two or more drying racks with inter-bracing rod 4. Based on the connection and fixing method between the drying rack's support legs 1 and the bed, there are two types: universal insertion type and type that connects to a dedicated mechanical interface at the bedside. Based on the number of torsional resistance points of the universal insertion type support legs 1, there are two types that rely solely on the friction between the upper and lower mattress boards. There are two types of support legs 1: those with a fixed single-point support and those with a structurally constrained double-point or multi-point support. Based on the transition connection structure between the two ends of the cantilever column 2 and the support legs 1 and the crossbar 3 at their bends, and the telescopic configuration of the crossbar 3, the support support bracket can be installed in three ways: rigid connection between the two ends of the cantilever column 2 and the support legs 1 and the crossbar 3 at their bends, with the crossbar 3 not telescopic; elastic folding connection between the two ends of the cantilever column 2 and the support legs 1 and the crossbar 3 at their bends; and telescopic crossbar 3. Users can choose from these different usage methods and types according to their actual needs.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the bends between the upper column 2 of the drying support and the support leg 1 and the drying crossbar 3 are rigidly connected, and the support leg 1 is a universal insert-type single-point support leg. Figure 1 As shown, in this case, the length of the crossbar 3 is equal to the width of the standard bed. During installation, the support frame needs to be aligned at the foot of the bed, and the mattress 5 needs to be lifted and then moved horizontally to the desired position. After installation, the support legs 1 are clamped between the mattress 5 and the bed board 6, and the upper column 2 is pressed tightly against the mattress 5. The entire support frame maintains its vertical posture by the friction of these pressed and clamped points. Figure 4 As shown, when disassembling after use, the mattress 5 should be lifted and the drying rack moved horizontally to the foot of the bed and removed. When multiple drying racks are needed, each drying rack can be installed from the foot of the bed in sequence and removed from the foot of the bed in the order of first in and last out after use.

[0035] Furthermore, when using a multi-support drying rack, inter-bracing sections 4 can be introduced to reinforce the upper support crossbars 3 to ensure the stability of the drying rack under load. Before installing the inter-bracing sections 4, adjust the adjacent spacing of each drying rack to match the length of the inter-bracing column 41 of the inter-bracing section 4, and then fasten the elastic claws 42 at both ends of the inter-bracing section 4 to the two adjacent support crossbars 3. Users can connect different numbers of inter-bracing sections 4 in parallel between two adjacent support crossbars 3 according to actual needs. Figure 6 As shown, a corresponding number of intermediate support rods 4 can also be connected in series between the multiple support horizontal bars 3 according to actual needs. The more parallel use of intermediate support rods 4, the more stable the entire support frame will be, and the larger the stable support area will be due to the greater number of series connection.

[0036] Furthermore, when the support legs 1 of the drying rack are of a universal insert type with two or more support points, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the stability of a single-support drying rack under the constraint of two supports when maintaining a vertical posture is much greater than the stability of a single-support drying rack under the friction of the support leg 1. Therefore, when multiple supports are used together, the requirement for the inter-bracing rod 4 is also reduced, thus maintaining stability under load.

[0037] Furthermore, when the support leg 1 of the air-drying bracket is a type that connects to a special mechanical interface at the bedside, such as a bolt and nut fastener type, the access end of the special mechanical interface needs to be pre-installed at the corresponding position on the edge of the bed board 6. For example, a base with a corresponding threaded interface can be pre-attached or clamped to obtain a special mechanical interface at the bedside that connects to the support leg. In this case, it is not even necessary to lift the mattress 5 and pass it through the air-drying bracket from the foot of the bed. Instead, the installation or disassembly can be completed by directly inserting or pulling out the insertion end support leg 1 of the air-drying bracket from above the mattress 5.

[0038] Furthermore, when the drying support crossbar 3 of the drying support bracket is made into a telescopic form, the drying support crossbar 3 can be stretched in advance to exceed the width of the bed and the inward folding length of the support legs 1 at both ends, and then inserted from above the mattress 5. After the support legs 1 are set at the required fixed position, the drying support crossbar 3 is shortened to the width of the bed and then locked. This telescopic form of the drying support crossbar 3 can also adapt to beds of different sizes and shapes.

[0039] Furthermore, the bends between the upper column 2 and the support leg 1, the crossbar 3, and the bends of the universal insert-type double or multi-point support leg 1 can also be made elastically folded. When installing or disassembling the drying rack, you can start from the bends of the elastically folded connection. Before installation, close the support leg 1 to keep it parallel to the upper column 2. Then insert it and align the support leg 1 with the gap between the mattress 5 and the bed board 6. Finally, open the support leg 1 and insert it into the gap between the mattress 5 and the bed board 6 to complete the installation of the drying rack. When disassembling, simply reverse the above operation sequence.

[0040] It should also be noted that the opening direction of the elastic claw 42 of the interstitial support rod 4 of the above-mentioned drying support can also be set to be upward or downward along the cross-section of the interstitial support column 41, such as... Figure 5 As shown, when installing or disassembling the inter-bracing rod 4, simply press it down from the vertical direction.

[0041] Following the above method, the empty space below bedding and other linens after using a drying rack is sufficient for users to freely dry them with active heating devices such as hair dryers, thus achieving a rapid drying effect. Especially when drying only localized areas that need drying, the advantages of fixed-temperature and fixed-position drying are obvious. When the temperature of the upper, middle and lower layers of bedding is uneven due to prolonged use of large-area heating devices such as electric blankets, using a drying rack can also achieve rapid heat dissipation and facilitate the repositioning and heating of bedding. Alternatively, when suspended and left to stand, the natural air drying of the upper and lower surfaces can achieve double the natural drying effect. In addition, using a drying rack also helps users to use tools such as vacuum cleaners to remove dust and mites from the bedding layers in confined spaces, making it easy to tidy up the bed.

[0042] The above provides a detailed description of the bedding drying rack set based on bed board edge fastening provided by this utility model. Specific examples and feature summaries have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art and other fields using this utility model, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
