[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme of the utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope protected by the utility model.
[0050] Embodiment:
[0051] The clothes hanger for airing and hanging hooded clothes provided in the embodiment comprises a clothes hanging part 100, a hood supporting part 200, a connecting part and a hook 300, the clothes hanging part 100 is used for hanging clothes of the hooded clothes, the hood supporting part 200 is used for supporting open the hood of the hooded clothes, the hook 300 is arranged on the hood supporting part 200, in use, the clothes hanging part 100 is inserted into the neckline of the clothes and supports the shoulder of the clothes from the inside, the hood supporting part 200 is inserted into the hood of the hooded clothes and supports open the hood by the hood supporting part 200, the hood supporting part 200 is arranged above the clothes hanging part 100, and the hood supporting part 200 is connected with the clothes hanging part 100 through the connecting part, the length of the connecting part is adjustable, when the length of the connecting part is adjusted, the hood supporting part 200 is close to or away from the clothes hanging part 100.
[0052] By means of the length-adjustable connecting part, the distance between the hood supporting part 200 and the clothes hanging part 100 of the clothes hanger provided in the embodiment is adjustable, specifically, when the clothes hanger is not needed to be used to air and hang the hooded clothes, the connecting part is adjusted to be the shortest, so that the hood supporting part 200 is close to the clothes hanging part 100, thereby the clothes hanger is in a folded state, at this time, the space volume of the whole clothes hanger is smaller, thereby it is convenient to store, when the clothes hanger is needed to be used to air and hang the hooded clothes, the user can adjust the distance between the hood supporting part 200 and the clothes hanging part 100 according to the size of the hood, if the hood is larger, the length of the connecting part is adjusted to be longer, so that the distance between the hood supporting part 200 and the clothes hanging part 100 is farther, if the hood is smaller, the length of the connecting part is adjusted to be shorter, so that the distance between the hood supporting part 200 and the clothes hanging part 100 is smaller, therefore, the clothes hanger can be suitable for airing and hanging the hooded clothes of different sizes, styles and applicable ages. It should be noted that the hood of the hooded clothes of larger size is usually larger than the hood of the hooded clothes of smaller size, for example, the size of the hood of the hooded clothes for adults is larger than the size of the hood of the hooded clothes for children.
[0053] The connecting part in the embodiment can be various structures capable of adjusting the height, for example, a telescopic rod 500 or a rope 600 or a scissor structure or a linear motor, as long as it can adjust the distance between the clothes supporting part and the clothes hanging part 100. The embodiment takes the rope 600 or the telescopic rod 500 as an example to illustrate.
[0054] As an embodiment of the present embodiment, as shown inFigure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the connecting part is a rope 600. In this case, one end of the rope 600 can be connected to the hanging part 100, and the other end can be connected to the cap part 200. By winding the rope 600 around the hanging part 100 or the cap part 200, the length of the rope 600 can be changed, thereby adjusting the distance between the cap part 200 and the hanging part 100. Alternatively, a winding assembly can be provided in the hanging part 100 to wind up and unwind the rope 600 to adjust its length. Specifically, the winding assembly can be a winch or a manual winding shaft 630.
[0055] Ideally, the winding assembly is a rope winding shaft 630, which is rotatably mounted inside the cap 200. The rope winding shaft 630 is connected to a rope winding handle 610 located outside the cap 200. When the user rotates the rope winding handle 610, the rope 600 can be wound or unwound, thereby changing the length of the rope 600. Of course, in this case, a locking structure is also installed between the rope winding handle 610 and the cap 200 to lock the rope winding handle 610 in the correct position onto the cap 200, or a locking structure is installed between the rope winding shaft 630 and the cap 200 to lock the rope winding shaft 630 in the correct position onto the cap 200. This ensures that after the rope 600 length is adjusted to the correct position, the rope winding shaft 630 is locked and cannot be adjusted further.
[0056] As an optional implementation, in this embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the locking structure includes a ratchet 640 mounted on the rope winding shaft 630 and located within the support cap portion 200, and a pawl 650 cooperating with the ratchet 640. The ratchet 640 rotates with the rope winding shaft, and the pawl 650 is rotatably mounted within the support cap portion 200 via a rotating shaft 660. The rotating shaft 660 is connected to a locking switch 620 located outside the support cap portion 200. Rotating the locking switch 620 can engage or disengage the pawl 650 from the ratchet 640. The ratchet 640 and the pawl 650 form a ratchet-pawl pair. Since the ratchet-pawl locking pair is prior art, it will not be described in detail here.
[0057] When it is necessary to fold the clothes hanger to the minimum, the rope 600 is contracted to the minimum, so that the supporting cap part 200 is close to the clothes hanging part 100, at this time, the clothes hanger can be used to hang ordinary clothes, and the size of the clothes hanger in the height direction is adjusted to the minimum to facilitate storage. Of course, even if the length of the rope 600 is adjusted to be longer so that the supporting cap part 200 is separated from the clothes hanging part 100, at this time, ordinary clothes can also be hung on the clothes hanging part 100. When hanging a hooded garment for a child, the length of the rope 600 is slightly adjusted to make the supporting cap part 200 a certain height away from the clothes hanging part 100; when hanging a hooded garment for an adult, the length of the rope 600 is adjusted to the maximum to make the supporting cap part 200 the maximum distance from the clothes hanging part 100. This type of adjustment part can achieve stepless adjustment of the distance between the supporting cap part 200 and the clothes hanging part 100.
[0058] As another embodiment of the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the connecting part in the present embodiment is a telescopic rod 500, which includes a straight tube 510, a straight rod 520, and a locking structure 530. The straight tube 510 is connected to the middle part of the clothes hanging part 100, the straight rod 520 is connected to the middle part of the supporting cap part 200, and the straight rod 520 is slidingly inserted into the inner hole of the straight tube 510. The locking structure 530 is installed between the straight tube 510 and the straight rod 520, and is used to lock the straight rod 520 to the straight tube 510. In this way, by adjusting the locking structure 530, the straight rod 520 can be locked to the straight tube 510 or unlocked from the straight tube 510. When unlocked, the straight rod 520 can be telescoped relative to the straight tube 510 to adjust the length of the telescopic rod 500, and when the length of the telescopic rod 500 is adjusted to the right position, the locking structure 530 is locked to lock the telescopic rod 500, so that the telescopic rod 500 remains at the current length. It is easy to understand that when the length of the telescopic rod 500 is adjusted, the distance between the supporting cap part 200 and the clothes hanging part 100 can be adjusted. This type of telescopic rod 500 can achieve stepless adjustment to adjust the distance between the supporting cap part 200 and the clothes hanging part 100 to a suitable value as needed, but this type of adjustment part cannot make the supporting cap part 200 completely close to the clothes hanging part 100.
[0059] Of course, the telescopic rod 500 described above can also be a nested telescopic structure similar to a fishing rod. The outer tube of this type of telescopic rod 500 can be completely inserted into the clothes hanging part 100, and the telescopic joints inside can be completely inserted into the outer tube. In this way, this type of telescopic rod 500 can make the supporting cap part 200 completely close to the clothes hanging part 100, but cannot achieve stepless adjustment.
[0060] In addition, the telescopic rod 500 described above can also be an electric telescopic shaft.
[0061] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 the locking structure 530 includes a bolt 531, a threaded hole is formed in the wall of the straight pipe 510, and the bolt 531 is screwed into the threaded hole. When the bolt 531 is tightened, the straight rod 520 is clamped in the straight pipe 510. In this way, the telescopic rod 500 composed of the straight pipe 510 and the straight rod 520 can be unlocked or locked by rotating the bolt 531. The bolt 531 can be a stop screw or a common bolt with a nut. In order to facilitate the rotation of the bolt 531, a star-shaped handle 532 is arranged on the nut of the bolt 531. The star-shaped handle 532 is located outside the straight pipe 510, and the user can rotate the star-shaped handle 532 to drive the bolt 531 to rotate, so that the straight rod 520 is locked in the straight pipe 510 or unlocked in the straight pipe 510.
[0062] The cross-sectional shape of the straight rod 520 in the embodiment can be any shape, such as a circular shape or a square shape. Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the straight rod 520 is an oval shape, the inner hole of the straight pipe 510 is matched with the straight rod 520, and the straight pipe 510 is also an oval pipe. A boss 511 corresponding to the threaded hole is arranged on the outer wall of the straight pipe 510. The threaded hole penetrates through the boss 511. In this way, the bolt 531 can be better screwed into the threaded hole, and a greater locking force can be provided when locked.
[0063] The clothes hanging part 100 in the embodiment can be a straight rod or a hanging rack of a conventional clothes hanger. Optionally, the clothes hanging part 100 in the embodiment includes a mounting seat 110 and two shoulder hanging rods 120. The two shoulder hanging rods 120 are symmetrically fixed on the two side walls of the mounting seat 110. A mounting hole is formed in the center of the top surface of the mounting seat 110. The middle and lower sections of the straight pipe 510 of the telescopic rod 500 are installed in the mounting hole. The two shoulder hanging rods 120 are respectively used for hanging the shoulders of a coat. Of course, the bottom end of the straight pipe 510 can be directly connected to the center of the top surface of the straight clothes hanging part 100.
[0064] Optionally, the hat supporting part 200 in the embodiment includes a cross beam 210 and a hat supporting rod 220. If the adjusting part is the rope 600, the winding rope shaft 630, the ratchet wheel 640, and the ratchet pawl 650 are arranged inside the cross beam 210. If the adjusting part is the telescopic rod 500 including the straight pipe 510 and the straight rod 520, the top end of the straight rod 520 is connected to the center of the bottom surface of the cross beam 210.
