[0045] Example 1:

[0046] refer to Figures 1-3 A clothes drying rack includes a frame 1, a lamp body 2, a housing space 4, and a connector 3.

[0047] The frame 1 is the main housing of the clothes drying rack, installed on the ceiling. It includes a top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall extending along the length of the frame 1 and connecting the top and bottom walls, and a third side wall and a fourth side wall connecting the top and bottom walls and extending along the width of the frame 1. The first, second, third, and fourth side walls together form an installation space for installing the electrical components of the clothes drying rack. The direction (width direction) of the first and second side walls is the front-to-back direction, and the direction (length direction) of the third and fourth side walls is the left-to-right direction. The frame 1 also includes scissor-mounted brackets extending outward from the third and fourth side walls.

[0048] In one exemplary embodiment, the frame 1 includes two side portions and a support surface 111 disposed on at least one side portion. Preferably, the frame 1 has two side portions, which are respectively formed on a first side wall and a second side wall. Specifically, the first side wall and the second side wall of the frame 1 extend downward to form the two side portions, each side portion including a suspension arm extending along the length direction of the frame 1 and a folded portion folded relative to the suspension arm. The folded portion includes a downward-facing support surface 111 and an upward-facing positioning surface 12. In other embodiments, the side portions may be a plurality of discontinuous structures spaced apart in pairs.

[0049] The lamp body 2 is mounted on the frame 1 by connecting the two side portions. The lamp body 2 includes an abutment surface 211 that is disposed opposite to the support surface 111. Specifically, the lamp body 2 is provided with abutment surfaces 211 at positions corresponding to the two side portions, and there are two abutment surfaces 211. The lamp body 2 includes mounting portions 21 disposed on both sides of the lamp body 2. The mounting portions 21 are configured to have a first groove extending along the length direction of the lamp body 2. The first groove has an abutment surface 211 and a contact surface 22 disposed opposite to each other in the vertical direction 5, wherein the projection portions of the support surface 111 and the abutment surface 211 overlap on the same horizontal plane.

[0050] In this embodiment, the lamp body 2 is connected to both sides via connector 3 to mount the lamp body 2 onto the frame 1. Specifically, a receiving space 4 is formed between the abutting surface 211 of the mounting portion 21 on both sides of the lamp body 2 and the supporting surface 111 of the folding portion. The receiving space 4 has a receiving opening located on both sides of the frame 1 in the width direction. When the mounting portion 21 of the lamp body 2 is placed on the folding portion, the abutting surface 22 of the mounting portion 21 overlaps with the positioning surface 12 of the folding portion, and the receiving space 4 is formed between the abutting surface 211 and the supporting surface 111.

[0051] At least one connector 3 is adapted to be inserted into the receiving space 4 through the receiving port. When in the receiving space 4, it is configured to apply force to the support surface 111 and the abutment surface 211 by pressing them together. The force applied to the support surface 111 and the force applied to the abutment surface 211 includes opposing forces acting in the vertical direction 5, to clamp the lamp body 2 onto the frame 1. Specifically, the connector 3 is configured as a strip structure adapted to the shape of the receiving space 4, including a main body and a first surface 311 and a second surface 312 facing away from each other on the main body. The abutment surface 22 of the lamp body 2 overlaps with the positioning surface 12 to form the receiving space 4. When the connector 3 is inserted into the receiving space 4 through the receiving port, the first surface 311 abuts against the support surface 111, the second surface 312 abuts against the abutment surface 211, and the positioning surface 12 abuts against the abutment surface 22. At this time, the connector 3 provides a vertically upward supporting force to the supporting surface 111, and applies a vertically downward pressure to the abutment surface 211, thereby applying force to the supporting surface 111 and the abutment surface 211 in a way that presses them together, clamping the lamp body 2 onto the frame 1. Preferably, in this embodiment, the connector 3 is an elastic component, which can connect the lamp body 2 to the frame 1 while eliminating the assembly gap in the accommodating space 4, so as to better provide clamping force for the lamp body 2.

[0052] An elastic portion 34 is provided between the connector 3 and the frame 1 and / or between the connector 3 and the lamp body 2 to clamp the lamp body 2 and the frame 1. The elastic portion 34 can be provided on the connector 3, the frame 1, or the lamp body 2, preferably on the connector 3. In this embodiment, the second surface 312 of the connector 3 is provided with a clearance hole 35 and a downwardly protruding elastic portion 34, and the elastic portion 34 protrudes from the wall of the clearance hole 35 and is cantilevered relative to the wall of the clearance hole 35. The elastic portion 34 is adapted to abut against the abutment surface 211 of the lamp body 2. In this embodiment, the elastic portion 34 is wavy. In other embodiments, the elastic portion 34 and the clearance hole 35 can also be provided on the first surface 311 of the connector 3.

[0053] In this embodiment, the frame 1 has two sides, each with a support surface 111. The lamp body 2 has an abutment surface 211 at a position corresponding to the two sides. Therefore, the connector 3 needs to be installed on both sides. In other embodiments, one side of the lamp body 2 is already suspended on one side of the frame 1 by other means. In this case, it is only necessary to set one or more support surfaces 111 on the other side of the frame 1 and set an abutment surface 211 at a position corresponding to the support surface 111 on the lamp body 2. The other side of the lamp body 2 is clamped to the frame 1 by inserting the connector 3 into the accommodating space 4 on this side.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] refer to Figures 4-7 Although in this embodiment, the lamp body 2 also includes an abutment surface 211 that is opposite to the support surface 111, the difference from the first embodiment is that the support surface 111 and the abutment surface 211 have different orientations. In this embodiment, the support surface 111 faces upward and the abutment surface 211 faces downward.

[0056] In one exemplary embodiment, the frame 1 includes side portions disposed on the front side of a first side wall and the rear side of a second side wall. The front side portion covers at least a portion of the first side wall, and the rear side portion covers at least a portion of the second side wall, forming a decorative cover that decorates the front and rear sides of the frame 1. The decorative cover has a folding portion, which includes an upward-facing support surface 111 and a downward-facing positioning surface 12.

[0057] The accommodating space 4 is formed when the abutment surface 211 moves away from the support surface 111 from its position of overlapping with the support surface 111. That is, when the installer first overlaps the abutment surface 211 of the lamp body 2 with the support surface 111 during installation, and then pushes the lamp body 2 upward in the vertical direction, the accommodating space 4 is formed between the abutment surface 211 and the support surface 111. When the abutment surface 211 of the lamp body 2 moves away from the support surface 111 from its position of overlapping with the support surface 111, and the connector 3 is inserted into the accommodating space 4, the first surface 311 of the connector 3 abuts against the support surface 111, and the second surface 312 abuts against the abutment surface 211. At this time, the connector 3 provides a vertically upward supporting force to the abutment surface 211, and the connector 3 applies a vertically downward pressure to the support surface 111, thereby applying force to the support surface 111 and the abutment surface 211 in a way that presses them between the support surface 111 and the abutment surface 211, clamping the lamp body 2 onto the frame 1.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] refer to Figure 8 Unlike Embodiments 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the lamp body 2 includes an abutment surface 211 that is disposed opposite to the support surface 111; the frame 1 includes a first overlapping portion, and the lamp body 2 includes a second overlapping portion. In an exemplary embodiment, the first overlapping portion is a hanging hole, and the second overlapping portion is a hook.

[0060] In one exemplary embodiment, the two sides of the frame 1 have second grooves extending along the length of the frame 1, and a support surface 111 is formed on the second grooves and faces upwards to abut against the connector 3. Preferably, the first sidewall and the second sidewall are respectively recessed inwards to form the second grooves.

[0061] When the second overlapping part of the lamp body 2 overlaps the first overlapping part of the frame 1, the accommodating space 4 is formed between the supporting surface 111 and the abutting surface 211. Specifically, the first groove on the lamp body 2 has a downward abutting surface 211, the second groove on the frame 1 has an upward supporting surface 111, and the accommodating space 4 is formed in the connection space between the first groove and the second groove.

[0062] The connector 3 includes a main body, which has a first part 31, a second part 32 and a third part 33 connecting the first part 31 and the second part 32. A downward first surface 311 is formed on the first part 31 and an upward second surface 312 is formed on the second part 32. When the connector 3 is in the accommodating space 4, the first surface 311 abuts against the supporting surface 111 and the second surface 312 supports the abutting surface 211.

[0063] When the second overlapping part of the lamp body 2 overlaps the first overlapping part of the frame 1 and the connector 3 is inserted into the receiving space 4, the first surface 311 abuts against the support surface 111 and the second surface 312 abuts against the abutting surface 211. At this time, the connector 3 provides a vertically upward supporting force to the abutting surface 211 and applies a vertically downward pressure to the support surface 111, thereby applying force to the support surface 111 and the abutting surface 211 in a way that presses them between the support surface 111 and the abutting surface 211, thus clamping the lamp body 2 onto the frame 1.

[0064] Compared with the prior art, the above embodiments have the following beneficial effects:

[0065] A clothes drying rack includes a frame 1 mounted on a ceiling. The frame 1 includes two sides and a support surface 111 disposed on at least one side. A lamp body 2 is mounted on the frame 1 by connecting the two sides. The lamp body 2 includes an abutment surface 211 disposed opposite to or away from the support surface 111. A receiving space 4 is formed between the support surface 111 and the abutment surface 211. At least one connector 3 is adapted to be inserted into the receiving space 4. When the connector is in the receiving space 4, it applies force to the support surface 111 and the abutment surface 211 in a manner that presses them together. The force applied to the support surface 111 and the force applied to the abutment surface 211 include forces acting in opposite directions in the vertical direction 5 to clamp the lamp body 2 onto the frame 1. The projection portions of the support surface 111 and the abutment surface 211 overlap on the same horizontal plane. During installation, simply insert the connector 3 into the accommodating space 4, and the clamping force of the connector 3 will clamp the lamp body 2 onto the frame 1. The installation is convenient and has few steps, overcoming the problem of the lamp body 2 being too large and inconvenient to install.

[0066] In one exemplary embodiment, an elastic part 34 is provided between the connector 3 and the frame 1 and / or between the connector 3 and the lamp body 2 to drive the lamp body 2 and the frame 1 to clamp together, thereby preventing the elastic part 34 from being limited in the direction of force application and preventing shaking.

[0067] In one exemplary embodiment, the connector 3 is provided with an elastic part 34 and a relief hole 35. The elastic part 34 protrudes from the hole wall of the relief hole 35 and is cantilevered relative to the hole wall of the relief hole 35 so as to facilitate the deformation of the elastic part 34.

[0068] The foregoing description of the specifications and embodiments is intended to explain the scope of protection of this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of this utility model or a portion thereof that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation, based on the teachings of this utility model or the foregoing embodiments, should all be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
