Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of clothes drying racks, and more specifically, it relates to a clothes drying rack that can be self-locking and unfolded at multiple angles and a clothes drying rack. Background Technology
[0002] Clothes drying racks, as a common drying tool in daily life, beautify balconies and enhance the drying experience, and are increasingly favored by many people.
[0003] Existing clothes drying racks, due to size and cost constraints, often try to maximize the drying area within a limited volume. For example, Chinese utility model patent publication number "CN219908274U" discloses a drying rod assembly and a clothes drying rack, including: "The drying rod assembly includes a clothes rod and a limiting component. The clothes rod includes a first main rod and a first inner rod that are slidably connected. The first main rod has multiple first hanging holes, and the first inner rod has multiple second hanging holes. The presence of the second hanging holes ensures stable hanging of clothes. Each pair of adjacent first hanging holes..." The spacing is equal to the spacing between any two adjacent second hanging holes, ensuring that the second hanging holes align with the first hanging holes and do not interfere with hanging clothes hangers on the first hanging holes. By directly creating the second hanging holes on the first inner rod, smooth extension and retraction of the first inner rod is ensured, noise is avoided, and the number of installation components is reduced, thus lowering the failure rate of the clothes rod. The limiting assembly includes a first limiting sleeve on the first main rod and a second limiting sleeve on the first inner rod. The second limiting sleeve stops the first limiting sleeve, preventing the first inner rod from moving beyond its travel range and improving safety.
[0004] The existing technologies described above have the following problems: they often increase the drying capacity by adding an internal retractable rod or a vertically installed thin rod. However, whether it is an internal rod or a thin rod, the direction of the extended drying range is relatively limited, meaning that the direction of the extended part cannot be flexibly controlled according to the shape of the clothes or the layout of the balcony. Therefore, a self-locking drying rod that can be extended at multiple angles is provided, which can flexibly control the direction of the extended part to adapt to more different drying situations. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a drying rack that can be self-locking and unfolded at multiple angles. It can flexibly control the direction of the extended part to adapt to more different drying situations.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0034] Specific Implementation Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-8 A drying rack that can self-lock and unfold at multiple angles, comprising:
[0035] The main drying rod 11 has at least one secondary drying rod 12 at the top;
[0036] A rotating assembly is disposed at the end of the main drying rod 11, and the same number of such assemblies as the auxiliary drying rods 12 are provided. The rotating assembly is divided into an upper part and a lower part, the upper part is installed at the end of the auxiliary drying rod 12, and the lower part is installed inside the main drying rod 11.
[0037] The upper and lower assemblies move synchronously as the main drying rod 11 and the auxiliary drying rod 12 move closer or further apart. The upper and lower assemblies are provided with toothed surfaces on the side end faces that are close to each other, and the upper and lower toothed surfaces can mesh and separate with each other.
[0038] In this embodiment, two main drying rods 11 are provided, and two auxiliary drying rods 12 are rotatably provided on each main drying rod 11. The rotation connection points of the two auxiliary drying rods 12 are respectively located at the two ends of the main drying rod 11. Therefore, the rotation components are also set to correspond to the position and number of the rotation connection points.
[0039] It is understood that the aforementioned upper assembly is located on the upper auxiliary drying rod 12, and the upper assembly includes a rotating tooth 21, while the lower assembly is located inside the lower main drying rod 11, and the lower assembly includes a fixed tooth 25. The rotating tooth 21 and the fixed tooth 25 are provided with tooth surfaces that can mesh and separate from each other on the side that is close to each other. Therefore, when the tooth surfaces of the rotating tooth 21 and the fixed tooth 25 are in a meshing state, the relative position of the main drying rod 11 and the auxiliary drying rod 12 is locked and cannot be moved. When the rotating tooth 21 is moved upward, it disengages from the tooth surface of the fixed tooth 25, and at this time the auxiliary drying rod 12 can rotate freely around the rotating connection point.
[0040] A clothes hanging block 13 is installed on the top of the main drying rod 11, and a recessed groove is opened on the bottom surface of the auxiliary drying rod 12, which can accommodate the clothes hanging block 13; the side wall of the groove is slidably disposed with the two end faces of the clothes hanging block 13.
[0041] Understandably, by Figure 6 It can be seen that the aforementioned clothes hanging block 13 is an upright, elongated structure, and the top is provided with evenly distributed recessed structures for hanging conventional clothes hangers, clothes supports, and other components. The groove at the bottom of the secondary drying rod 12 includes a receiving cavity 37, which is a rectangular through-slot structure that runs horizontally through the length of the secondary drying rod 12 and opens downwards. The two side walls of the receiving cavity 37 are slidably connected to the two side end faces of the clothes hanging block 13.
[0042] It should be further explained that the purpose of the sliding connection between the above-mentioned receiving cavity 37 and the clothes hanging block 13 is that when the auxiliary drying rod 12 is placed on top of the clothes hanging block 13, the sliding connection between the two serves to limit the auxiliary drying rod 12, so that the auxiliary drying rod 12 will not shake when placed on top of the clothes hanging block 13.
[0043] A vertically arranged guide shaft is installed between the upper and lower parts, and the guide shaft is rotatable between the upper and lower parts.
[0044] The top of the guide shaft is installed with the upper assembly, and the bottom of the guide shaft passes through the lower assembly and extends to a position below the lower assembly; the guide shaft is slidably disposed with the lower assembly.
[0045] It should be further explained that the aforementioned guide shaft includes a limiting shaft 23. The top of the limiting shaft 23 and the rotating tooth 21 are directly mounted and fixed, while the bottom of the limiting shaft 23 passes through the fixing tooth 25 and extends downward to below the fixing tooth 25. Therefore, when the secondary drying rod 12 moves upward, the limiting shaft 23 can slide directly with the fixing tooth 25, and when the secondary drying rod 12 rotates, it can also rotate directly around the limiting shaft 23 as an axis.
[0046] The main drying rod 11 has a support part installed at its bottom, and the bottom of the guide shaft extends downward into the support part and is installed therewith; the bottom of the guide shaft has a convex circular structure, and the support part has a cavity that limits the vertical sliding distance of the convex circular structure, and one end face of the cavity is open to the outside.
[0047] It should be further explained that the aforementioned support includes a counterweight 30, and the open cavity provided within the counterweight 30 is a limiting groove 31. The convex circular structure at the bottom of the limiting shaft 23 is installed within the limiting groove 31. The height of the limiting groove 31 is greater than the height of the convex circular structure. Therefore, after the auxiliary drying rod 12 moves upward, the convex circular structure of the limiting shaft 23 is also limited within the limiting groove 31, and the top wall of the limiting groove 31 limits the convex circular structure.
[0048] The upper part includes a rotating tooth 21, on the outer end face of which a first mounting plate 22 is protruding, and the bottom surface of the rotating tooth 21 is provided with a tooth surface; the lower part includes a fixed tooth 25, on the outer end of which a second mounting plate 24 is protruding, and the top surface of the fixed tooth 25 is provided with the same tooth surface, and the tooth surfaces of the rotating tooth 21 and the fixed tooth 25 can mesh with each other and separate vertically.
[0049] It is understandable that the above tooth surfaces are two tooth surfaces with the same dimensions such as tooth pitch and tooth height, but with opposite directions of rotation.
[0050] Both the main drying rod 11 and the auxiliary drying rod 12 have slotted structures on their side ends. The slotted structure of the main drying rod 11 is used to install and fix the first mounting piece 22, and the slotted structure of the auxiliary drying rod 12 is used to install and fix the second mounting piece 24.
[0051] It is understood that the slotted structure on the auxiliary drying rod 12 includes a first slot 26, which is disposed on both sides of the receiving cavity 37. A first mounting piece 22 is correspondingly installed on the outer circular surface of the rotating tooth 21. The first mounting piece 22 and the first slot 26 are engaged to complete the installation and fixation of the rotating tooth 21 and the auxiliary drying rod 12.
[0052] It should be further explained that, similarly, the main drying rod 11 has, from top to bottom, an installation groove 35, a second slot 27, and a cavity 36. The installation groove 35 is used to install the clothes hanging block 13. A second installation piece 24 is correspondingly protruded on the outer surface of the fixing tooth 25, and the second installation piece 24 is engaged with the second slot 27. The cavity 36 is used to install the counterweight base 30.
[0053] It should be further explained that the side end face of the counterweight base 30 is provided with an inner hole 34, while the side end face of the main drying rod 11 is provided with an outer hole 33. The counterweight base 30 can be fixed in the cavity 36 by inserting a screw 32 into the outer hole 33 and the inner hole 34.
[0054] It should be further explained that, since the interiors of both the main drying rod 11 and the secondary drying rod 12 are open at both ends, upper covers 28 are installed on both ends of the secondary drying rod 12, while lower covers 29 are installed on both ends of the main drying rod 11, for sealing purposes.
[0055] A clothes drying rack includes the aforementioned drying rod that can be self-locking and unfolded at multiple angles, and also includes a main unit 15. The main unit 15 is equipped with an electric device, and a retractable steel wire rope 16 is connected to the electric device.
[0056] It is understandable that the aforementioned electric device is a conventional structure in a clothes drying rack, including a motor, a winding wheel, and a controller. The motor is connected to household electricity and directly controls the rotation of the winding wheel to wind and unwind the steel wire rope 16. The controller can receive electrical signals sent by external devices such as an APP or remote control and directly control the motor to drive the winding wheel to rotate in both directions, thereby controlling the winding or unwinding of the steel wire rope 16.
[0057] The steel wire ropes 16 extend downwards from both ends of the main unit 15 and are respectively installed at both ends of the main drying rod 11. The rotating assembly is disposed between the two steel wire ropes 16.
[0058] It is understood that each main drying rod 11 is connected to two ends with a steel wire rope 16 to suspend the main drying rod 11. The rotating component is located between the two steel wire ropes 16. Therefore, when the auxiliary drying rod 12 rotates on the main drying rod 11, it will not collide or interfere with the steel wire ropes 16 because it is located between the two steel wire ropes 16.
[0059] In practical use, the auxiliary drying rod 12 in this design is designed to be rotatable and lockable, thereby stably expanding the drying area. Initially, the auxiliary drying rod 12 is placed on top of the main drying rod 11, allowing users to directly hang clothes or clothes hangers on top for drying. When it is necessary to further expand the drying area, the auxiliary drying rod 12 can be manually lifted. At this time, the teeth of the rotating tooth 21 and the fixed tooth 25 separate, allowing the auxiliary drying rod 12 to rotate approximately ±170 degrees around the limiting shaft 23 (the remaining 10 degrees are for the steel wire rope). After rotating the auxiliary drying rod 12 to the appropriate angle, it is lowered. The connection between the first slot 26 and the first mounting plate 22 fixes the rotating tooth 21, and the connection between the second slot 27 and the second mounting plate 24 fixes the fixed tooth 25. Therefore, the teeth of the rotating tooth 21 and the fixed tooth 25 can mesh with each other, locking the auxiliary drying rod 12, which can then stably hold clothes hangers for drying.
[0060] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be embraced within this application. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. Furthermore, it is clear that the word "comprising" does not exclude other units or steps, and the singular does not exclude the plural. Multiple units or devices recited in the apparatus claims may also be implemented by a single unit or device in software or hardware. The terms "first," "second," etc., are used to indicate names and do not indicate any particular order.
