Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to clothes drying equipment, and more particularly to a clothes drying rack and its electric clothes drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Most electric clothes drying racks on the market come with a telescopic drying rod. When the telescopic rod is not in use, the drying rack of the electric clothes drying rack takes up relatively little balcony space. After rising to the main unit, it can usually be retracted below or around the main unit, resulting in a relatively simple overall structure. When it is necessary to increase the drying capacity, the telescopic drying rod can be extended. Electric clothes drying racks with telescopic drying rods on the market are generally equipped with a telescopic quilt drying rod as well. This type of telescopic quilt drying rod usually consists of a main rod and two telescopic auxiliary rods at both ends. The two telescopic auxiliary rods are movably connected to the ends of the clothes rod or the ends of the drying rack. When the quilt drying rod is not in use, it is usually stored above the clothes rod or inside the drying rack.

[0003] When users need to increase the amount of laundry they can dry but don't want to use the clothesline, pulling the telescopic rod (also known as the secondary rod) of the clothesline will simultaneously pull the secondary rod of the clothesline as well. Due to the internal friction of the telescopic rod, the main rod of the clothesline is easily pulled along with the secondary rod, causing it to slide above the clothesline or inside the drying rack. This sliding can easily scratch the main rod. In addition, the main rod being pulled along also affects the overall structure of the drying rack, making it unsightly and reducing the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] Most electric clothes drying racks on the market come with a telescopic drying rod. When the telescopic rod is not in use, the drying rack of the electric clothes drying rack takes up relatively little balcony space. After rising to the main unit, it can usually be retracted below or around the main unit, resulting in a relatively simple overall structure. When it is necessary to increase the drying capacity, the telescopic drying rod can be extended. Electric clothes drying racks with telescopic drying rods on the market are generally equipped with a telescopic quilt drying rod as well. This type of telescopic quilt drying rod usually consists of a main rod and two telescopic auxiliary rods at both ends. The two telescopic auxiliary rods are movably connected to the ends of the clothes rod or the ends of the drying rack. When the quilt drying rod is not in use, it is usually stored above the clothes rod or inside the drying rack.

[0035] When users need to increase the amount of laundry they can dry but don't want to use the clothesline, pulling the telescopic rod (also known as the secondary rod) of the clothesline will simultaneously pull the secondary rod of the clothesline as well. Due to the internal friction of the telescopic rod, the main rod of the clothesline is easily pulled along with the secondary rod, causing it to slide above the clothesline or inside the drying rack. This sliding can easily scratch the main rod. In addition, the main rod being pulled along also affects the overall structure of the drying rack, making it unsightly and reducing the user experience.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 7A preferred embodiment of the drying rack of this utility model includes: a clothes drying rod 1 and a quilt drying rod 2. Both the clothes drying rod 1 and the quilt drying rod 2 have a main rod and auxiliary rods that are movably telescopic at both ends of the main rod. The two ends of the quilt drying rod 2 are directly or indirectly movably connected to the two ends of the clothes drying rod 1. A locking device for locking the position of the main rod 21 of the quilt drying rod or the main rod 11 of the clothes drying rod is provided; alternatively, the two auxiliary rods 22 of the quilt drying rod are a linked telescopic structure. Specifically, both the clothes drying rod and the quilt drying rod are telescopic rod structures with telescopic ends, each having a main rod and two auxiliary rods. The two auxiliary rods of the quilt drying rod are directly or indirectly movably connected to the ends of the two auxiliary rods of the clothes drying rod. A direct movable connection generally means a rotatable connection via a movable rod; an indirect movable connection generally means that the movable rod connecting the quilt drying rod is first movably connected to other components, while the clothes drying rod is fixedly or movably connected to those components. The main pole 21 of the quilt drying rod or the main pole 11 of the clothes drying rod is equipped with a locking device to lock the position of the main pole. This locking device can be connected to the main pole or the clothes drying rod, or be a part of it; any technical feature that can lock the main pole is considered a locking device. Combined with the telescopic direction of the two auxiliary poles on the main pole, the so-called linked telescopic movement (synchronous extension or retraction) ensures that the main pole is generally centered relative to the two auxiliary poles (the resultant frictional force of the synchronous opposite movement of the two auxiliary poles on the main pole is zero), thus preventing the main pole from being pulled along. By using a linked telescopic auxiliary pole or a locked main pole, the problem of the main pole sliding and being scratched can be effectively solved, improving the overall structure of the drying rack and the user experience.

[0037] Furthermore, the two ends of the quilt drying rod 2 are directly and movably connected to the two ends of the clothes drying rod 1 via a movable rod 3 (not shown in the figure), and the locking device is located between the main rod 11 of the quilt drying rod and the main rod 21 of the clothes drying rod. Specifically, as described above, when the quilt drying rod is directly and movably connected to the clothes drying rod, a typical electric clothes drying machine, such as a single-rod machine (single clothes drying rod), will retract the quilt drying rod above the clothes drying rod. Similarly, the quilt drying rod of a double-rod machine can also have this retractable structure, in which case the locking device is located between the main rod of the quilt drying rod and the main rod of the clothes drying rod.

[0038] Furthermore, the clothes drying rod 1 consists of two parallel rods. The main rods 11 of the two clothes drying rods 1 are connected by two parallel brackets 4, and the auxiliary rods 12 of the two clothes drying rods 1 are connected by two parallel fixing rods 5. The two ends of the quilt drying rod 2 are movably connected to the fixing rods 5. The locking device is located between the main rod 21 of the quilt drying rod and the main rod 11 of the clothes drying rod, or between the main rod 21 of the quilt drying rod and the brackets 4. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 4Specifically, in this embodiment, the electric clothes drying rack is a double-pole model. The locking device, in addition to being located between the main pole 21 of the quilt drying rod and the main pole 11 of the clothes drying rod, can also be located between the main pole 21 of the quilt drying rod and the bracket 4 (not shown in the figure). The fixing rod 5 connects the two auxiliary poles 12 of the clothes drying rod to move synchronously; that is, when the fixing rod 5 is pulled outwards, it can extend along with the two auxiliary poles 12 of the clothes drying rod. The auxiliary pole 22 of the quilt drying rod is movably connected to the fixing rod 5 via a movable rod 3.

[0039] As described above, whether it is a single-pole or double-pole drying rack, and regardless of whether the locking device is located between the main pole of the quilt drying rack and the main pole of the clothes drying rack or between the main pole of the quilt drying rack and the bracket, it can restrict the movement of the main pole of the quilt drying rack and thus prevent it from being scratched.

[0040] Furthermore, the locking device includes a limiting part disposed on the main pole of the quilt drying rod or the main pole of the clothes drying rod, and a mating part disposed on the main pole of the clothes drying rod or the main pole of the quilt drying rod. Specifically, the limiting part and the mating part constitute the locking device. It can be understood that the mating part can be the main pole of the clothes drying rod or the main pole of the quilt drying rod itself. For example, when a clamp is used for locking, the limiting part is the clamp, and the mating part is the drying rod itself.

[0041] Furthermore, both ends of the clothesline main rod 11 and the quilt drying rod main rod 21 are provided with plugs. The clothesline main rod plug has a limiting part that restricts the movement of the quilt drying rod main rod on the clothesline main rod, or the quilt drying rod plug has a limiting part that blocks the movement of the quilt drying rod main rod on the clothesline main rod. Specifically, refer to... Figures 1 to 2 Specifically, in this embodiment, the clothesline main rod end cap 13, in addition to preventing the clothesline auxiliary rod from detaching, also serves to accommodate the quilt drying rod. Its upper end face shape matches the quilt drying rod. The limiting part is a blocking part 131 extending upwards from the left end face of the clothesline main rod end cap 13 and beyond its upper end face. The upward extension height of the blocking part 131 does not exceed the upper end face of the lower part of the quilt drying rod main rod end cap 23. This design not only restricts the movement of the quilt drying rod main rod on the clothesline main rod but also prevents scratching of the quilt drying rod auxiliary rod.

[0042] Furthermore, the limiting part and the mating part are a boss and a groove to each other, or the limiting part and the mating part are magnetic components (not shown in the figure). See reference. Figure 3 and 4 Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper end face of the clothes drying rod main rod end cap 13 is provided with a groove 132, and correspondingly, the lower end face of the quilt drying rod main rod end cap 23 is provided with a boss (not shown in the figure). This structure can also restrict the movement of the quilt drying rod main rod on the clothes drying rod main rod, and play a locking role after the quilt drying rod is stored on the clothes drying rod. Similarly, a similar structure also includes magnetic attraction, such as magnetic attraction elements provided on both end caps, the magnetic attraction also plays a locking role.

[0043] Furthermore, the linkage telescopic structure is a synchronous belt structure or a gear and rack structure. (Refer to...) Figures 5 to 7 Specifically, in this embodiment, a gear and rack structure is used.

[0044] Furthermore, each of the two rods of the drying rack is fixedly connected to a rack, and each rack meshes with a gear. (See reference...) Figures 5 to 7 Specifically, each of the two quilt drying rod sub-rods 22 is connected to a rack 24 in an alternating manner. This alternating arrangement means that one quilt drying rod sub-rod has a rack with its teeth facing downwards connected to the upper side of its inner end cap, while the other quilt drying rod sub-rod has a rack with its teeth facing upwards connected to the lower side of its inner end cap. The two tooth surfaces face each other, and the two racks 24 pass alternately through a slide 26 containing an internal gear 25, meshing with the gear 25 vertically. This design enables the synchronized extension and retraction of the two quilt drying rod sub-rods, i.e., they extend or retract synchronously. The slide reinforces the meshing between the two racks and the gear, preventing the tooth surfaces from disengaging.

[0045] Furthermore, the sliding block is fixedly connected to the middle of the main rod of the quilt drying rack. (See reference...) Figure 5 Specifically, the main pole of the drying rack has a through hole in the middle. The shaft of the gear passes through the through hole to fix the gear and the slide block inside the main pole, or the slide block is fastened by bolts passing through the through hole. With this design, no matter how the two auxiliary poles of the drying rack extend or retract, the main pole always remains centered. Therefore, when the rack is retracted, no matter how the auxiliary poles are stretched, they will not affect the main pole, preventing it from being scratched. This also ensures the overall coordination of the drying rack structure.

[0046] Electric clothes drying racks, including the drying racks described above, effectively improve the overall structure and user experience of electric clothes drying racks.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
