AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing drying racks, the connection structure between the drying rod and the crossbar is prone to shortening the lifespan of the screws due to the weight of the clothes and the shearing force generated by movement, thus affecting the stability of the connection.

Method used

A limiting structure is set on the crossbar, which abuts against the fastener. The position of the fastener is restricted, avoiding additional shear force. The shear force is dispersed by the mutual abutment of protrusions and folds, and the load is distributed by the connecting seat, thus improving the connection stability.

Benefits of technology

It improves the service life of screws, enhances the connection stability between the drying rack and the crossbar, avoids localized stress concentration, and extends the service life of the connection.

[0035] A type of drying rack, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a drying rod 100 and a crossbar 200. The number of drying rods 100 and crossbars 200 is not limited. In this embodiment, [the following is used as an example]. Figure 1 Taking the structure shown as an example, there are two drying rods 100, which are arranged in parallel. There are two crossbars 200, which are respectively connected to the ends of the two drying rods 100.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown in the drawings, the drying rack further comprises a fixing member 400 movably connected to the cross rod 200, and the drying rod 100 is connected to the cross rod 200 through the fixing member 400. In the embodiment, the limiting structure abuts against the fixing member 400. The abutting action helps to fix the fixing member 400 on the cross rod 200, avoids the fixing activity, and thus makes the shearing force received by the drying rod 100 after the clothes are hung on the drying rod 100 after the installation better dispersed on the fixing member 400.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drying rack comprises a mounting port 201 of the fixing member 400, and the mounting port 201 is located on the limiting structure. The cross rod 200 comprises a portion in a U-shaped cross section, specifically, the end portion of the cross rod 200 is at least partially a hollow structure with an opening on the upper side. The limiting structure is arranged on the inner wall of the U-shaped portion of the cross rod 200. The fixing member 400 is mounted at the mounting port 201 of the cross rod 200. The specific shape of the mounting port 201 is not limited, and in the embodiment, the mounting port 201 is a slot structure arranged on the limiting structure. The slot of the mounting port 201 is vertically arranged, which facilitates the mounting of the fixing member 400 from the upper side of the cross rod 200.

[0038] The specific structure of the limiting structure is not limited, and in the embodiment, the limiting structure comprises a first protrusion 202, and the mounting port 201 is located on the first protrusion 202.
