Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of clothes drying rack technology, and in particular relates to an electric clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Electric clothes drying racks, as household items used daily, have become necessities for many families. They typically consist of a housing, a drive module, and a clothes drying rod. The housing includes a top plate and horizontal and vertical plates surrounding the side walls of the top plate. The horizontal and vertical plates reinforce the top plate and improve its resistance to deformation. However, the existing independent arrangement of the horizontal and vertical plates results in poor resistance to deformation at the top corners of the top plate. During the lifting and lowering of the clothes drying rod under load, the housing is prone to deformation, causing interference between the clothes drying rod and the horizontal and vertical plates, thus affecting the lifespan of the electric clothes drying rack.

[0003] Therefore, how to avoid interference between the clothesline and the horizontal and vertical plates of the machine casing is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Utility Model Content

[0039] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment illustrates an electric clothes drying rack, comprising: a top plate 1, with a horizontal plate 11 and a vertical plate 12 respectively surrounding its long and short edges; the long edge of the horizontal plate 11 is folded inward to form an upward folding plate 11a and a downward folding plate 11b; the upward folding plate 11a covers the top of the top plate 1 and is connected to the top plate 1; the vertical plate 12 is connected to the bottom of the top plate 1, and a connecting plate 12a extends downward from the side wall of the vertical plate 12; the connecting plate 12a is engaged within the area enclosed by the horizontal plate 11, the upward folding plate 11a, and the downward folding plate 11b, and the side wall of the connecting plate 12a is respectively attached to the horizontal plate 11, the upward folding plate 11a, and the downward folding plate 11b, so that... The horizontal plate 11 and the vertical plate 12 abut against each other and form a stable rectangular structure.
