Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a foldable and retractable clothes rack, belonging to the field of household goods. Background Technology
[0002] Clothes racks are a common household product.
[0003] Chinese patent publications CN205741647U, CN221940887U, and CN119121583A disclose an assembled clothes rack and its connecting components, all of which disclose a foldable clothes rack with an "A"-shaped base. The top unfolds to form a relatively long drying platform for drying clothes. This type of folding clothes rack folds the drying platform and base legs together around a rotating mechanism in the center of the top, forming a flat storage configuration that can be packed into a flat box for convenient logistics and transportation. However, due to the need for a sufficiently long drying platform, if only one fold is made along the rotating mechanism, the stored length (as shown in the specification of patent CN221940887U) is limited. Figure 3 The length (as shown) is still relatively long, requiring a large packaging box for packaging and transportation. Therefore, patent CN119121583A designs the components as an assemblable structure, packaging and transporting them in disassembled form, so that consumers can assemble them themselves after receiving them; however, this design results in consumers receiving more parts, placing certain demands on consumers' self-assembly capabilities, and is also not conducive to the secondary folding and handling of the product later.
[0004] Given the above, it is necessary to further redesign the structure of this folding clothes rack to enable it to fold further, reduce its size, facilitate packaging and transportation, reduce transportation costs, allow consumers to quickly unfold and use it upon receipt, and facilitate secondary folding and handling. There will be no loose parts at the consumer end, avoiding loss of parts and making it convenient for consumers to operate and use. Utility Model Content

Figure 4 Assembly / disassembly, along with unfolding / folding, are performed. Figure 1 The unfolded usage state shown, and Figure 2 The device changes between its fully folded and stowed states as shown.
[0056] This utility model discloses a folding clothes rack, comprising a rotating connecting device 1, supporting feet 2, a stabilizing frame 3, a drying rack 4, and diagonal bracing 5. Rotating connecting devices 1 and 2 rotating connecting parts 11 are respectively provided on both sides of the rotating connecting device 1. Each rotating connecting part 11 is connected to both the supporting feet 2 and the drying rack 4. There are two supporting feet 2 and two drying racks 4, both of which can rotate within the limits set by the rotating connecting parts 11, thereby enabling unfolding or folding. Figure 3 As shown.
[0057] Rotary connecting device 1, such as Figure 5As shown, rotating connectors 11 are provided on both sides, connected in the middle by a connecting rod 12; each rotating connector 11 includes two sets of four rotating disks 111, which are hinged together in the middle and connected to the connecting rod 12; mounting sleeves 112 are connected to the rotating disks 111, and mounting holes 113 are provided in the mounting sleeves 112. The ends of the supporting feet 2 and the drying rack 4 are inserted into the mounting holes 113 and reliably connected to the single rotating connector 11.
[0058] The rotating connecting device 1 can be a freely rotating connecting device, or it can be an adjustable angle device as disclosed in the angle adjustment mechanism and clothes rack of Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118498046A.
[0059] The stabilizing frame 3 consists of two small drying racks 31, each with several crossbars forming a storage platform. One end of each small drying rack 31 is hinged to the supporting base 2, and the other ends of the two small drying racks 31 are hinged together via a stabilizing hinge 32. When unfolded, the two small drying racks 31 unfold along the stabilizing hinge 32, forming a flat small drying platform and limiting the opening angle of the supporting base 2. This forms an "A"-shaped support base with the supporting base 2, providing reliable support for the unfolded drying state of the folding clothes rack of this utility model. When folded up, the two small drying racks 31 fold upwards along the stabilizing hinge 32, allowing the small drying racks 31 and the connected supporting base 2 to fold and store together.
[0060] The diagonal brace 5 is hinged at its lower part to the support base 2 and can be folded and stored close to the support base 2. When unfolded, the diagonal brace 5 connects to the drying rack 4, forming a triangular support between the support base 2, the diagonal brace 5, and the drying rack 4, thus reliably supporting and stabilizing the drying rack 4. In this embodiment, the top of the diagonal brace 5 has a convex fold structure that can be inserted into the drying rack 4 and abut against the drying crossbar 43 on the drying rack 4, while also abutting against the bottom surface of the long rod of the drying rack 4, forming a support.
[0061] A key improvement of this invention is that the supporting base 2 and the drying rack 4 adopt a quick-assembly and disassembly structure, allowing them to be quickly separated into two parts for convenient assembly and disassembly. Figure 2 , Figure 4 It can be completely folded for storage, or quickly connected together for convenient storage. Figure 1 , Figure 3 For everyday use and storage.

The socket 212 and the plug 222 are respectively installed in the hollow tubes of the two poles. Preferably, the socket 212 is completely submerged in the rotating hollow tube 211, while the fixed part of the plug 222 is submerged in the disassembly hollow tube 221, leaving a part of the plug rod. The size of the plug rod of the plug 222 matches the size of the socket cavity in the socket 212.
[0064] Further as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, inserting the plug rod of the plug 222 into the socket cavity of the socket 212 connects the rotating hollow tube 211 and the disassembly hollow tube 221 into a single unit. Furthermore, to prevent the disassembly rod assembly 22 from being lost, an elastic cord 23 is provided between the rotating hollow tube 211 and the disassembly hollow tube 221. Preferably, the elastic cord 23 passes through both the socket 212 and the plug 222, so that when assembled, the elastic cord 23 is located internally and not exposed externally. Figure 9 As shown; and during disassembly, as Figure 7 As shown, the elastic rope 23 extends elastically, which allows the socket 212 to be separated from the plug 222, but at the same time connects the rotating rod assembly 21 and the disassembly rod assembly 22 close together to prevent the disassembly rod assembly 22 from being lost.
[0065] The folded storage state of the supporting foot 2 can be further... Figure 10 As shown; and the folded storage state of drying rack 4 can be further as follows: Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown.
