[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it will not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0047] An electric clothes drying rack 100 with a fan and light includes a main unit 10, a height-adjustable drying rod assembly 20, and a fan and light 30. The main unit 10 is the core component of the electric clothes drying rack 100; it consists of a robust and durable housing 11, which houses a power unit 12. The housing 11 not only protects the internal components from damage but also provides a stable platform to support the entire structure of the clothes drying rack. The power unit 12 is the heart of the clothes drying rack; it drives the lifting and lowering of the drying rod assembly 20, ensuring a smooth and safe drying process. Preferably, the power unit 12 includes a wire rope winder 12a and a control box 12b, with a power cord s extending from the control box 12b to connect to the fan and light 30.

[0048] The clothes drying rod assembly 20 is the main drying part of the electric clothes drying rack 100, consisting of two parallel drying rods 21 and two rod supports 22 that support them. The drying rods 21 are where clothes are hung, while the rod supports 22 ensure the stability of the drying rods during raising and lowering.

[0049] The fan light 30 is a module integrating fan and lighting functions, comprising a fan module 31 and a lighting module 32. The fan module 31 is driven by a motor 31a, which generates airflow through multiple fan blades 31b on a rotating disk 31c, providing ventilation to the clothes-drying area. The lighting module 32 provides illumination, ensuring sufficient light in the clothes-drying area. The fan light 30 is designed with functionality and aesthetics in mind; it is suspended from the lower center of the main unit 10 via a U-shaped mounting bracket 40. This positioning provides optimal lighting and ventilation without interfering with the clothes-drying operation.

[0050] Extension brackets 50 are installed on both sides of the main unit 10. The extension brackets 50 extend downward beyond the bottom surface of the main unit 10. This ensures that when the clothes drying assembly 20 is raised to its highest position, its position is still lower than the fan light 30, thus avoiding interference between the clothes drying function and the lighting and fan functions.

[0051] Moreover, the projected area of ​​the lighting module 32 is smaller than the hollow area 23 of the clothes drying rod assembly 20. This technology ensures that the lighting light can evenly cover the clothes drying area without being blocked by the clothes drying rod assembly 20.

[0052] The U-shaped mounting bracket 40 serves as the support structure for the fan light 30. This ingenious design cleverly utilizes space, allowing the fan light 30 to be stably suspended at the lower center of the main unit 10. The U-shaped mounting bracket 40 is designed with load-bearing capacity and stability in mind. Its geometric shape distributes the weight of the fan light 30, ensuring a secure installation.

[0053] More specifically, the U-shaped mounting bracket 40 includes an integrated base plate 41 and two side plates 42, a structure that provides greater stability and load-bearing capacity. The integrated design simplifies the installation process, reduces the number of components, lowers the possibility of installation errors, and also enhances the overall aesthetics.

[0054] Preferably, the upper ends of the two side plates 42 are bent to form a fixing plate 43, thereby enabling the fixing plate 43 to be firmly connected to the ceiling. The bent structure of the fixing plate 43 increases the contact area with the ceiling, improves the stability of the installation, and ensures the safety of the fan light 30 during use. The U-shaped mounting bracket 40 is directly connected to the ceiling by expansion screws. This installation method is simple and quick, requiring no complicated tools or techniques, and is convenient for users to install or maintain themselves. The U-shaped mounting bracket 40 wraps around the bottom and two sides of the main unit 10, and this wrap-around structure provides additional support.

[0055] The fan light 30 is connected to the base plate 41. The base plate 41 serves as the main support point for the fan light, and its structural strength and stability are crucial for the normal operation of the entire fan light.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the housing 11 includes a U-shaped bottom shell 11a and a back plate 11b, which are connected by a track slot. This track slot connection simplifies the assembly process of the bottom shell 11a and the back plate 11b. The interior cavity of the housing 11 is used to install a power unit.

[0057] The design of the extension connecting frame 50 provides strong structural support through the combination of the upper horizontal plate 51 and the vertical plate 52. Preferably, the stamping process of the upper horizontal plate 51 and the vertical plate 52 increases the strength of the sheet metal, enabling the connecting frame to withstand the forces generated by the clothes drying rack when raising and lowering the drying rod assembly 20.

[0058] The upper connecting lug 51a on the upper horizontal plate 51 is connected to the back plate 11b by screws. This technique ensures a secure connection between the main unit 10 and the extension bracket 50. The inward extension design of the upper connecting lug 51a provides additional clamping force, enhancing the stability of the connection.

[0059] The slot 51b on the upper horizontal plate 51 is designed to allow expansion screws to pass through, a technique that simplifies the process of fixing the extension bracket to the ceiling.

[0060] Furthermore, the lower connecting portion 52a formed at the lower end of the vertical plate 52 and the track grooves 52b on both sides, combined with the upper connecting member 61 and pulley 62 of the folding frame 60, form a flexible folding mechanism. This technology allows the drying rod assembly 20 to be folded up when not in use, saving space, while unfolding quickly when needed.

[0061] The pulleys 62 on the folding frame 60 are located within the track grooves 52b. This technique allows the folding frame to slide smoothly during unfolding and folding, reducing friction and wear. The use of pulleys improves the flexibility and durability of the folding frame's movement.

[0062] It needs to be reiterated that the lengths of the extension bracket 50 and the folding bracket 60 are set to meet the following condition: when the drying rod assembly 20 is at its upper limit, its position is lower than that of the fan light 30. The length settings of the extension bracket 50 and the folding bracket 60 ensure that even when the drying rod assembly 20 is raised to its highest point, its position remains lower than that of the fan light 30. This technical approach provides a safe distance between the fan light 30 and the drying assembly 20, preventing direct contact between clothing and the fan light, and reducing the risk of clothing tangling or damage that may occur due to fan operation.

[0063] By keeping the drying rod assembly 20 below the fan light 30 when it is at its highest position, this technique avoids a direct conflict between the clothes-drying function and the fan and lighting functions. Clothes will not block the light from the light module 32, nor will they interfere with the airflow of the fan module 31, ensuring that the lighting and ventilation effects of the clothes dryer are not affected.

[0064] Preferably, the width of the folding rack 60 is smaller than the width of the drying rod assembly 20, which helps to occupy less space when the folding rack is folded up, making the entire clothes drying rack visually more compact, while reducing the space requirements of the surrounding environment.

[0065] More preferably, the width of the folding frame 60 is adapted to the width L of the extension connecting frame 50, and the width W of the main unit 10 is less than 0.5L. This proportional relationship ensures a harmonious width ratio between the main unit and the extension connecting frame, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the clothes drying rack. It also optimizes the spatial layout of each component.

[0066] Preferably, the fan module 31 and the lighting module 32 are key components of the electric clothes drying rack 100, which together enhance the clothes drying experience. The fan module 31 consists of a rotating disc 31c composed of a high-efficiency motor 31a and multiple fan blades 31b. Preferably, this product focuses on airflow optimization and low-noise operation, ensuring strong yet quiet airflow output to help clothes dry quickly.

[0067] The lighting module 32 consists of a lamp plate for mounting light strips and a lamp cover 32a on the lower side. It preferably has an anti-glare design to provide uniform and bright illumination, while the fixed connecting column b ensures the stability of the lighting fixture when the fan is running. The integrated design makes the entire fan light 30 compact and easy to install.
