Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dryers and relates to a clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional dryers consist of a motor housing containing a motor, fan blades, and a heating element. The rotating fan blades propel airflow, which passes through the heating element to generate hot air. This hot air accelerates the drying of wet clothes. A vent is attached to the dryer, covering the clothes to maintain a higher temperature inside the vent. However, traditional dryers have large air outlets in the motor housing, resulting in insufficient airflow speed and pressure, leading to poor drying performance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In response to the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a clothes drying rack. This device has the advantages of redistributing the hot air from the motor housing through the clothes rack housing and spraying it out from several hot air holes, resulting in a fast airflow speed, high air pressure, and more targeted drying of clothes on the hooks, thus achieving a better drying effect.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows:

[0005] A clothes drying rack includes a base and a frame rod. A motor housing is fixed to the upper end of the frame rod, and an airflow chamber is formed inside the motor housing. An air inlet is formed on the motor housing, and an air outlet is provided at the lower end of the motor housing. A motor is fixed inside the airflow chamber, and a fan blade is connected to the output end of the motor. A heating element is provided below the motor. A clothes hanger shell is connected to the lower end of the motor housing. An air circulation chamber is formed inside the clothes hanger shell, and the air outlet of the motor housing communicates with the air circulation chamber. Several hot air holes are formed at the lower end of the clothes hanger shell, and the hot air holes communicate with the air circulation chamber. Several clothes hooks are also provided at the lower end of the clothes hanger shell.

[0006] By designing the hanger housing, the hot air from the motor housing enters the hanger housing and is redistributed before being ejected from several hot air holes. This results in a faster airflow speed and more targeted drying of clothes on the hooks, leading to better drying results.

[0007] The invention is further configured such that: the lower end of the hanger shell is formed with an installation groove, and a U-shaped hook fixing rod is fixed in the installation groove; the hook fixing rod includes a main body and two side connecting parts; two sliding gaps are formed between the upper wall of the installation groove and the upper walls of the two side connecting parts; the hook includes a U-shaped hook seat; lugs are formed on both sides of the upper end of the hook seat; the two lugs are slidably disposed in the two sliding gaps; a stop block is provided in the hook seat; a fixing post is formed in the middle of the stop block; the fixing post has a downward-opening screw hole; the upper part of the hook has a thread and passes through the hook seat and connects to the screw hole of the stop block; a spring groove is formed between the outer wall of the stop block and the fixing post; a compression spring is installed in the spring groove; the compression spring is sleeved on the fixing post; the upper end of the compression spring abuts against the upper wall of the stop block; the lower end of the compression spring abuts against the lower wall of the hook seat; the compression spring always applies an upward force to the stop block, causing the stop block to abut against the lower end of the hook fixing rod.

[0008] With the above setup, the compression spring causes the stop block to press against the lower end of the hook fixing rod, creating significant friction between them and preventing the hook from shifting in the wind. When it's necessary to move the hook to align with the vent, pull the hook downwards. The hook will then push the stop block downwards, separating it from the lower end of the hook fixing rod. The hook can then slide, with the lug on the hook seat sliding within the sliding gap. Once the desired position is reached, release the hand, and the stop block, under the pressure of the compression spring, will again press against the lower end of the hook fixing rod, preventing the hook from moving.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the lower end of the clothes hook fixing rod is provided with several ultraviolet lamps.

[0010] The ultraviolet lamp can disinfect clothing. Furthermore, its placement on the hook fixing rod allows for more targeted disinfection of clothes on the hooks, resulting in better disinfection.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the upper end of the hanger shell is formed with a connecting end that extends into the motor shell, and a plurality of L-shaped slots are formed around the connecting end; the inner end of the motor shell is formed with a plurality of locking blocks that match the slots; and the hanger shell and the motor shell are detachably connected.

[0012] The detachable connection between the hanger housing and the motor housing makes it easier to clean, install, and maintain the equipment.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: support rod storage grooves are formed on both sides of the motor housing, and support rods are rotatably connected in the support rod storage grooves.

[0014] The support rods make it easy to hang the windproof cloth, and when not in use, they can be retracted into the storage slot, making it both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the support rod includes a base, the two sides of the base are formed with hinged columns and rotatably connected in the support rod storage groove, the base is formed with an unfolding groove, an unfolding rod is slidably disposed in the unfolding groove, and a limit block is disposed in the unfolding groove.

[0016] The extension rod extends the length of the support rod, making it easier to hang the windproof cloth. When not in use, the extension rod can be retracted to reduce the length of the support rod for easy storage.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: the hanger shell includes two hanging parts on both sides, and the upper end of the hanging parts is formed with a plurality of shoulder drying holes, which are connected to the air circulation chamber.

[0018] The drying holes on the shoulders allow for further drying of the clothing on the upper part of the hanger shell.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that: shoulder anti-slip blocks are provided on the upper part of both sides of the hanger shell, and shoulder drying holes are arranged around the shoulder anti-slip blocks.

[0020] The invention is further configured such that: the air circulation chamber is provided with a deflector plate, which is shaped like a herringbone and guides the airflow to both sides of the air circulation chamber.

[0021] The invention is further configured such that: a first hinge seat is fixed on the base, the frame rod is rotatably connected to the first hinge seat, and two second hinge seats are formed on both sides of the first hinge seat. A positioning sleeve is rotatably provided on the second hinge seat. The positioning sleeve can be flipped up and down. The rotation direction of the positioning sleeve is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the frame rod. The positioning sleeve includes a rotating connecting part and a positioning part. The rotating connecting part is rotatably connected to the second hinge seat. The positioning parts of the two positioning sleeves are semi-circular tubes. The two positioning parts can be combined into a circular tube and sleeved on the frame rod. The outer circumference of the positioning part is formed with a positioning external thread. A protective sleeve is also sleeved on the frame rod. The inside of the protective sleeve is formed with a positioning internal thread that matches the positioning external thread.

[0022] With the above setup, during normal use, the two positioning sleeves flip upwards, merging the two positioning parts into a circular tube that fits over the frame pole. Then, the protective sleeve is tightened to secure the frame pole vertically. When folding for storage, the protective sleeve is unscrewed, separating it from the positioning sleeves. The two positioning sleeves are then flipped downwards, separating them from the frame pole. The frame pole can then be folded downwards via the first hinge seat, reducing space requirements and facilitating storage.

[0023] The present invention is further configured such that: the frame pole is composed of multiple sub-frame poles, the multiple sub-frame poles are telescopically sliding between each other, and are fixed by tightening components.

[0024] The invention is further configured such that: an iron holder is fixed on the frame, a water tank is provided on the iron holder, an iron hanging opening is formed on the iron holder, an iron is hung on the hanging opening, and a socket for providing power to the iron is provided on the base.

[0025] With the above settings, clothes can also be ironed after drying, and the iron is placed directly on the rack, reducing the space occupied by the iron.

[0026] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this invention compared to the prior art are: the hot air from the motor housing is redistributed through the clothes hanger housing and sprayed out from several hot air holes, which makes the airflow speed fast and the air pressure high, and makes the drying of clothes on the clothes hook more targeted, resulting in better drying effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0045] A clothes drying rack includes a base 1 and a support rod 2. A motor housing 3 is fixed to the upper end of the support rod 2. An airflow cavity 4 is formed inside the motor housing 3. An air inlet 5 is formed on the motor housing 3. An air outlet 6 is provided at the lower end of the motor housing 3. A motor 7 is fixed inside the airflow cavity 4. A fan blade 8 is connected to the output end of the motor 7. A heating element is provided below the motor 7; specifically, the heating element is a heating wire 9. A clothes hanger shell 10 is connected to the lower end of the motor housing 3. An air circulation chamber 11 is formed inside the clothes hanger shell 10. The air outlet 6 of the motor housing 3 communicates with the air circulation chamber 11. A plurality of hot air holes 12 are formed at the lower end of the clothes hanger shell 10, and the hot air holes 12 communicate with the air circulation chamber 11. A plurality of clothes hooks 13 are also provided at the lower end of the clothes hanger shell 10, and at least one of the hot air holes 12 is corresponding to each of the clothes hooks 13.

[0046] By designing the hanger housing 10, the hot air coming out of the motor housing 3 enters the hanger housing 10 and is redistributed, then sprayed out from several hot air holes 12, making the sprayed airflow faster and more targeted at drying the clothes on the hooks 13, resulting in a better drying effect.

[0047] The motor housing surface is equipped with a control panel, which includes a power switch, a fan speed control switch, a timer switch, a UV switch, and a temperature control switch.

[0048] The lower end of the hanger shell 10 is formed with a mounting groove 14, and a U-shaped hook fixing rod 15 is fixed in the mounting groove 14. The hook fixing rod 15 includes a main body 16 and two side connecting parts 17. Two sliding gaps 20 are formed between the upper wall 18 of the mounting groove and the upper walls 19 of the two side connecting parts. The hook 13 includes a U-shaped hook seat 21 and a hook 26. The upper end of the hook seat 21 has lugs 22 formed on both sides. The two lugs 22 are slidably disposed in the two sliding gaps 20 respectively. A stop block 23 is provided in the hook seat 21, and a fixing post is formed in the middle of the stop block 23. 24. The fixing post 24 is formed with a screw hole 25 opening downwards. The upper part of the hook 26 is formed with threads and passes through the hook seat 21 to connect with the screw hole 25 of the stop block. A spring groove 27 is formed between the outer wall of the stop block 23 and the fixing post 24. A compression spring 28 is installed in the spring groove 27. The compression spring 28 is sleeved on the fixing post 24. The upper end of the compression spring 28 abuts against the upper wall of the stop block 23, and the lower end of the compression spring 28 abuts against the lower wall of the hook seat 21. The compression spring 28 always gives the stop block 23 an upward force, so that the stop block 23 abuts against the lower end of the hook fixing rod 15.

[0049] With the above setup, due to the action of the compression spring 28, the stop block 23 is pressed against the lower end of the hook fixing rod 15, so a large frictional force is generated between the stop block 23 and the hook fixing rod 15, which can fix the position of the hook 13 and prevent it from being blown away by the wind. When it is necessary to move the position of the hook so that the hook 13 is aligned with the position of the hot air hole 12, the hook 26 can be pulled down. The hook 26 drives the stop block 23 to press the compression spring 28 down, thereby separating the stop block 23 from the lower end of the hook fixing rod 15. Then the hook 13 can be slid. The lug 22 of the hook seat 21 slides within the sliding gap 20. After it is moved to the desired position, the hand is released, and the stop block 23 is pressed against the lower end of the hook fixing rod 15 again under the action of the compression spring 28 to prevent the hook from moving.

[0050] The lower end of the hook fixing rod 15 is also equipped with several ultraviolet lamps 29. These ultraviolet lamps 29 can disinfect clothing. Furthermore, their placement on the hook fixing rod 15 makes them more targeted at clothing on the hooks 13, resulting in better disinfection.

[0051] The upper end of the hanger shell 10 is formed with a connecting end 30 that extends into the motor shell 3. Several L-shaped slots 31 are formed around the periphery of the connecting end 30. Several locking blocks 32 that match the slots 31 are formed inside the motor shell 3. The hanger shell 10 and the motor shell 3 are detachably connected. This detachable connection between the hanger shell 10 and the motor shell 3 facilitates the cleaning, installation, and maintenance of the equipment.

[0052] The motor housing 3 has support rod storage slots 33 formed on both sides, and support rods 34 are rotatably connected inside the support rod storage slots 33. The support rods 34 make it convenient to hang the windproof cloth, and can be retracted into the storage slots when not in use, which is both beautiful and practical.

[0053] The support rod 34 includes a base 35, with hinged posts 36 formed on both sides of the base 35 and rotatably connected to the support rod storage groove 33. An unfolding groove 37 is formed within the base 35, and an unfolding rod 38 is slidably disposed within the unfolding groove 37. A limit block 39 is provided within the unfolding groove 37. The unfolding rod 38 extends the length of the support rod 34, facilitating the hanging of the windproof cloth. When not in use, the unfolding rod can be retracted, reducing the length of the support rod for easy storage.

[0054] The hanger shell 10 includes two hanging sections on both sides. Several shoulder drying holes 40 are formed at the upper end of each hanging section, and these holes 40 communicate with the air circulation chamber 11. The shoulder drying holes 40 allow for further drying of the clothing above the hanger shell.

[0055] The upper sides of the hanger shell 10 are also provided with shoulder anti-slip blocks 41, and the shoulder drying holes are located around the shoulder anti-slip blocks.

[0056] The air circulation chamber 11 is equipped with a deflector plate 42, which is shaped like a herringbone and guides the airflow to both sides of the air circulation chamber 11.

[0057] A first hinge seat 43 is fixed on the base 1. The frame rod 2 is rotatably connected to the first hinge seat 43. Two second hinge seats 44 are also formed on both sides of the first hinge seat 43. A positioning sleeve 45 is rotatably provided on the second hinge seat 44. The positioning sleeve 45 can be flipped up and down. The rotation direction of the positioning sleeve 45 is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the frame rod 2. The positioning sleeve 45 includes a rotating connecting part 46 and a positioning part 47. The rotating connecting part 46 is rotatably connected to the second hinge seat 44. The positioning part 47 of the two positioning sleeves 45 is semi-circular. The two positioning parts 47 can be combined into a round tube and sleeved on the frame rod 1. The outer circumference of the positioning part 47 is formed with a positioning external thread 48. A protective sleeve 49 is also sleeved on the frame rod 1. The inside of the protective sleeve 49 is formed with a positioning internal thread that matches the positioning external thread 48.

[0058] With the above setup, during normal use, the two positioning sleeves 45 flip upwards, causing the two positioning parts 47 to merge into a circular tube that fits over the frame rod 2. Then, the protective sleeve 49 is tightened to fix the frame rod 1 in a vertical position. When folding for storage, the protective sleeve 49 is unscrewed, separating the protective sleeve 49 from the positioning sleeve 45. Then, the two positioning sleeves 45 are flipped downwards, separating the positioning sleeve 45 from the frame rod 2. The frame rod 2 can then be flipped downwards through the first hinge seat 43, thereby reducing the space occupied and facilitating storage.

[0059] The frame pole 2 is composed of multiple segments that can slide and extend between each other and are secured with screws. The electrical wires inside the frame pole are distributed in a spiral pattern, allowing the wires to extend and retract to accommodate different lengths during folding and retraction.

[0060] An iron holder 50 is fixed to the rack 2. A water tank 51 is installed on the iron holder 50, and an iron hanging opening 52 is also formed on the iron holder 50. An iron 53 is mounted on the iron, and the ironing plate 54 is hung on the hanging opening 52. The base 1 also has a power socket 55 for supplying power to the iron. With these features, dried clothes can be ironed, and the iron is directly mounted on the rack, reducing the space occupied by the iron.

[0061] The present invention features the ability to redistribute the hot air from the motor housing through the clothes hanger housing and eject it from several hot air holes, resulting in a fast airflow speed, high air pressure, and more targeted drying of clothes on the clothes hook, thus achieving a better drying effect.

[0062] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
