Simultaneously, it also facilitates simple maintenance and upkeep for users during daily use, enhancing the user experience.

[0034] The structural stability of a clothes drying rack is crucial for its long-term stable operation. This technical solution effectively enhances the overall structural strength of the clothes drying rack by installing multiple hanging brackets distributed along its length within the cavity between the top shell and the top wall. The hanging brackets consist of an upper connecting plate, a vertical connecting plate, and a lower connecting plate. This structural design not only provides sufficient support but also evenly distributes various forces experienced by the clothes drying rack during use, preventing structural deformation or damage due to excessive localized stress. Furthermore, the connection between the hanging brackets and the top shell and top wall is secured using multiple first and second screws. This robust and reliable connection method ensures the stability and straightness of the clothes drying rack when raising and lowering the drying rod, improving the operational stability and reliability of the clothes drying rack and extending its service life.

[0035] From a space utilization and aesthetic perspective, this technical solution also excels. The recesses formed by the side and top walls of the machine cleverly accommodate the drying rods, allowing for concealed installation when not in use, saving indoor space and providing users with a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing look. Furthermore, the distributed arrangement of the mounting brackets ensures structural strength while avoiding excessive encroachment on the internal space of the clothes dryer, offering greater flexibility for the installation and layout of other functional components. This optimized space utilization and aesthetic design not only enhances the practicality and beauty of the clothes dryer but also allows it to better integrate into various interior design styles, satisfying users' dual needs for both aesthetic appeal and practicality in their home environment.

[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a concealed single-pole clothes drying rack 100 that is easy to maintain has a clever layout of functional components and a reasonable structure, which can effectively solve the problem of inconvenient maintenance of traditional clothes drying racks. The clothes drying rack is mainly composed of three core components: the frame shell 101, the main unit assembly 102, and the drying rod 103. The components work together to realize the concealed installation and convenient maintenance of the clothes drying rack.

[0050] The outer casing 101, as the main frame of the clothes dryer, plays a crucial role in supporting and protecting the internal components. It consists of a top plate 10 and two side walls 20. The top plate 10 is located at the top of the clothes dryer, serving to shield and secure it. The two side walls 20 are respectively connected to both sides of the top plate 10, forming a stable frame structure that provides a reliable mounting base for the main assembly 102. The design of the side walls 20 not only considers structural stability but also the connection strength and sealing with the top plate 10, ensuring that the clothes dryer can withstand the influence of the external environment during use, while providing good protection for the internal components.

[0051] The main unit assembly 102 is the core of the clothes drying rack, integrating its main functional components, including the side panel 70, top wall 30, power assembly 40, control box 50, and two wire rope guide frames 60. The side panel 70 and top wall 30 work together to cleverly form a recess h for accommodating the drying rod 103. This design not only allows the drying rod 103 to be neatly stored in the recess h when not in use, achieving concealed installation and saving space, but also provides a stable track for the lifting and lowering of the drying rod 103, ensuring smooth lifting and lowering during use and improving the ease of use and reliability of the clothes drying rack. The power assembly 40 provides power support for the lifting and lowering of the drying rod 103, the control box 50 is responsible for precise control of the clothes drying rack's operation, and the wire rope guide frames 60 guide the direction of the wire ropes, ensuring smooth movement. These components work together to realize the intelligent clothes drying function of the clothes drying rack.

[0052] The powertrain 40, control box 50, and wire rope bogie 60 are cleverly mounted on the back of the top wall 30. This layout saves space and facilitates centralized management and maintenance of the components. The powertrain 40, as the power source for the clothes drying rack, is precisely structured and reliably performed. It consists of an assembly bracket 41, a motor 42, and a wire rope winder 43. The assembly bracket 41, made of high-strength material, possesses excellent stability and load-bearing capacity. It is securely mounted on the top wall 30, providing a solid support foundation for the powertrain 40 and ensuring that the motor 42 and wire rope winder 43 operate stably during operation, without displacement or damage due to vibration or external forces.

[0053] The motor 42 is the core component of the powertrain 40. Utilizing advanced motor technology, it features high efficiency, energy saving, and low noise, providing strong and stable power for the lifting and lowering movement of the clothes drying rod 103. Driven by the motor 42, the wire rope winder 43 precisely controls the winding and unwinding of the wire rope, thus achieving precise lifting and lowering of the drying rod 103. The wire rope winder 43 is ingeniously designed with a compact internal structure and high winding efficiency, effectively preventing tangling and knotting of the wire rope during winding and unwinding, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the clothes drying machine.

[0054] The wire rope led out by the wire rope winder 43 extends downwards after passing through a carefully designed steering device. This steering device consists of a bogie and pulleys, with the bogie securely connected to the top wall 30 of the machine by screws. This connection method not only ensures the stability of the steering device but also facilitates its disassembly and maintenance. Furthermore, guided by the steering device, the wire rope can be accurately connected to the drying rod 103, enabling the raising and lowering function of the drying rod 103 and providing users with a convenient clothes-drying experience.

[0055] It should be noted that in traditional clothes drying rack designs, the steel wire rope is usually directly connected to the drying rod. Disassembly requires separating the steel wire rope from the rod, a cumbersome process that can easily lead to tangling and damage to the rod's connecting parts. This clothes drying rack integrates the steel wire rope winder into the main assembly 102. When disassembling the main assembly 102, the steel wire rope is removed along with it, eliminating the need to separately disassemble the connection between the steel wire rope and the drying rod. This significantly simplifies the disassembly process and saves maintenance time. By eliminating the step of separating the steel wire rope from the drying rod, the number of tools required for disassembly is also reduced, lowering the risk of equipment damage due to improper tool use. This also improves maintenance efficiency, making maintenance work more convenient and efficient.

[0056] More specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, in this technical solution, the cavity between the top plate 10 and the top wall 30 cleverly accommodates multiple hoisting brackets v. These hoisting brackets v are evenly distributed along the length of the outer shell 101, providing key support for the stable hoisting and convenient maintenance of the clothes drying rack.

[0057] Each hoisting bracket v consists of three parts: an upper connecting plate v1, a vertical connecting plate v2, and a lower connecting plate v3, forming a stable frame structure. The upper connecting plate v1 is tightly connected to the top shell plate 10 by multiple first screws t1. This connection method not only ensures a firm connection between the hoisting bracket v and the top shell plate 10, but also evenly distributes stress when bearing the overall weight of the clothes drying rack, preventing structural deformation or damage due to excessive local stress.

[0058] The lower connecting plate v3 is connected to the top wall 30 via multiple second screws t2. These second screws t2 pass upwards from below the top wall 30, precisely aligning with and tightening the lower connecting plate v3, further reinforcing the connection between the lifting bracket v and the top wall 30. This bottom-up connection method allows for easy separation of the main unit assembly 102 from the frame housing 101 by simply removing these second screws t2, without the need for complex disassembly tools or cumbersome procedures.

[0059] This unique hanging bracket technology not only provides reliable support during the installation of the clothes drying rack, ensuring its stability during use, but also greatly simplifies the disassembly process during maintenance, improving efficiency and reducing costs, truly realizing the design goal of easy maintenance. Through this ingenious structure, the maintenance and upkeep of the clothes drying rack become easier and more convenient, bringing users a superior user experience.

[0060] Preferably, such as Figure 6As shown, the shell sidewall 20 adopts a unique split structure, which ensures both the strength and stability of the shell, while also taking into account the lightweight and cost-effectiveness of the materials. Specifically, the shell sidewall 20 consists of an upper iron sidewall 21 and a lower aluminum profile sidewall 22, which are cleverly combined to form a sturdy and durable whole.

[0061] Furthermore, the upper sidewall 21 and the top shell plate 10 are integrally bent and formed. This integral forming process not only improves production efficiency but also ensures the connection strength and sealing between the upper sidewall 21 and the top shell plate 10. The upper sidewall 21 is made of iron, which has high strength and rigidity, and can withstand various external impacts that the clothes drying rack may encounter during use, such as the weight of clothes and wind, providing a solid guarantee for the stable operation of the clothes drying rack. Its inward bending design at the lower end provides a convenient specific assembly area for the connection of the lower sidewall 22, and also increases the stability of the overall structure.

[0062] The lower sidewall 22 is made of aluminum profile, which is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to process. This effectively reduces the overall weight of the clothes dryer, facilitating installation and transportation, and also reducing material costs. The upper end of the lower sidewall 22 is located on the outer side of the lower end of the upper sidewall 21, and the two are tightly connected by multiple pins. This pin connection method is simple to operate and reliable, allowing for quick assembly of the upper sidewall 21 and lower sidewall 22, and facilitating disassembly and maintenance when needed. Moreover, the pin connection can also absorb and disperse external forces to a certain extent, further enhancing the impact resistance of the shell sidewall 20.

[0063] Furthermore, the lower sidewall 22 and its outer surface are on the same vertical plane as the outer surface of the upper sidewall 21. This results in a smooth and flat appearance on the outer shell of the clothes dryer, without any imperfections such as misalignment or gaps caused by the connection of different materials or components. The overall appearance is more harmonious and unified, enhancing the aesthetics of the clothes dryer and allowing it to better integrate into various interior decoration styles.

[0064] During installation, because the outer surfaces of the lower sidewall 22 and the upper sidewall 21 are on the same vertical plane, they can fit tightly against the mounting surface (such as a wall or ceiling), reducing installation gaps caused by uneven surfaces. This helps improve the stability of the clothes drying rack installation and avoids problems such as shaking or loosening that could affect its performance and lifespan.

[0065] Furthermore, although the upper iron sidewall 21 and the lower aluminum sidewall 22 are made of different materials, this design allows both to fully leverage their respective performance advantages. The iron upper sidewall 21 provides sufficient strength and rigidity, while the aluminum lower sidewall 22 offers lightweight and corrosion resistance. Designing both outer surfaces on the same vertical plane further enhances this complementary advantage, strengthening the overall structural strength and durability of the shell sidewall 20, enabling it to better adapt to various usage environments and conditions. The smooth outer surface helps reduce stress concentration caused by structural abrupt changes. During the use of the clothes dryer, when various external forces act on the shell sidewall 20, the stress can be distributed more evenly along the smooth surface, avoiding localized fatigue damage caused by stress concentration, thereby improving the overall durability and reliability of the clothes dryer.

[0066] Furthermore, the side section 70 adopts a double-wall structure, consisting of an inner side wall 71 and an outer side wall 72. This structure not only enhances the overall strength and stability of the side section 70, but also cleverly utilizes the space between the double walls to integrate other functional components, thereby improving the practicality and user experience of the clothes dryer.

[0067] The outer wall 72, serving as the outer structure of the side section 70, is tightly connected to the shell side wall 20, forming a robust frame for the clothes dryer's outer casing. This connection ensures the coordinated operation of the side section 70 and the shell side wall 20, jointly bearing various external forces encountered during use, such as the traction force of the drying rod 103 during lifting and lowering, and the weight of the clothes, thus guaranteeing the overall structural stability of the clothes dryer. Simultaneously, the outer wall 72 also protects internal components and prevents dust and moisture intrusion, providing a favorable external environment for the long-term stable operation of the clothes dryer.

[0068] The inner wall 71 of the machine side is located inside the side part 70, and together with the outer wall 72 of the machine side, it forms a cavity f. This cavity f is not simply idle space, but is cleverly utilized to install lighting fixtures. This technology allows the clothes dryer to not only have basic clothes drying functions, but also added lighting functions, providing convenience for users during the drying and retrieval of clothes. Especially in dimly lit environments, the built-in lights can be turned on automatically or manually to illuminate the drying area, allowing users to clearly see the drying status of the clothes and avoiding inconvenience caused by insufficient light.

[0069] Furthermore, installing the light fixture within the cavity f between the inner wall 71 and the outer wall 72 of the machine side offers several advantages. Firstly, this built-in design provides excellent protection for the light fixture, preventing damage from external impacts, wind, and rain, thus extending its lifespan. Secondly, the light emitted by the fixture is diffused outwards through appropriate openings or translucent materials in the inner and outer walls 71 and 72, creating a soft and uniform lighting effect, reducing glare and shadows, and providing a more comfortable and welcoming environment for the user. Simultaneously, this design helps conceal the wiring and connecting components of the light fixture, resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the clothes dryer, enhancing the overall quality of the product.

[0070] Preferably, each hoisting bracket v is designed with an opening facing away from the vertical connecting plate v2. This unique opening design allows the hoisting bracket v to adapt more flexibly to different installation conditions and force directions during installation and stress. This opening orientation not only facilitates the connection and fixation of the hoisting bracket v with other components of the clothes drying rack, but also provides the necessary space and guidance for the movement of components such as the wire rope during the operation of the clothes drying rack, ensuring the smooth operation of the clothes drying rack.

[0071] Multiple lifting brackets v are arranged according to a specific distribution and orientation, specifically including two first lifting brackets 1v, two second lifting brackets 2v, and two third lifting brackets 3v. The two first lifting brackets 1v are located at the end of the clothes drying rack, with their openings facing outwards. This arrangement allows the first lifting brackets 1v to effectively bear the weight of the end of the clothes drying rack and provide stable lateral support during installation, preventing the clothes drying rack from tilting or swaying during use, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the clothes drying rack.

[0072] Two second lifting brackets 2v are located inside the first lifting bracket 1v, with their openings facing forward. This forward-facing opening design allows the second lifting brackets 2v to better coordinate with the lifting mechanism of the clothes drying rack and the direction of the wire rope, providing precise guidance and support for the lifting movement of the clothes drying rod 103. When the clothes drying rack is working, the second lifting brackets 2v can effectively distribute and transmit the tension of the wire rope, reducing friction and wear of the wire rope during movement, and improving the operating efficiency and service life of the clothes drying rack.

[0073] Two third-stage (3V) hanging brackets are located in the middle of the clothes drying rack, with their openings facing rearwards. This layout and orientation of the third-stage (3V) hanging brackets provide additional support and stability in the central area of ​​the clothes drying rack, further enhancing the overall structural strength and reliability. Simultaneously, the rearward orientation of the third-stage (3V) hanging brackets facilitates a more harmonious layout and coordination with other internal components of the clothes drying rack, preventing interference with components such as steel cables and ensuring the compactness and harmony of the internal structure.

[0074] Of particular note is the staggered arrangement of the second and third lifting brackets 2v and 3v between the top wall 30 and the top plate 10, cleverly avoiding the path of the steel wire rope. This staggered arrangement not only makes full use of the internal space of the clothes drying rack, improving space utilization, but also ensures that the steel wire rope is not obstructed by the lifting brackets v during movement, guaranteeing smooth movement of the steel wire rope. Through this carefully designed layout of the lifting brackets v, the clothes drying rack achieves stable lifting while ensuring that the lifting and lowering movement of the clothes drying rod 103 is undisturbed, providing users with a more convenient and reliable clothes drying experience.

[0075] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, an inspection port 31 is provided on the top wall 30 of the dryer, and an inspection cover is installed on the inspection port 31. A quick-connect terminal 33 is provided on the inside of the inspection cover. The inner end of the external power cord is connected to the terminal 33, and the power cord of the control box 50 is also connected to the terminal 33. The terminal 33 electrically connects the external power cord and the power cord of the control box 50. After removing the inspection cover, the external power cord or the power cord of the control box can be disconnected from the terminal, thus disconnecting the power supply to the dryer. When it is necessary to repair or replace parts of the dryer, simply removing the inspection cover allows for easy disconnection of the external power cord or the power cord of the control box 50 from the terminal 33, quickly disconnecting the power supply to the dryer. This operation is not only simple and quick, but also requires no complex tools or professional electrical knowledge, greatly reducing the difficulty and risk of maintenance and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0076] Furthermore, a maintenance access port 31 is thoughtfully designed into the top wall 30 of the machine, a detail that reflects the user-friendliness and practicality of this technical solution. The location of the maintenance access port 31 is rationally planned, so as not to affect the overall appearance of the clothes drying rack, and to make it convenient for users to quickly find and operate it when needed.

[0077] A special maintenance cover is installed on the inspection port 31. This maintenance cover not only protects the internal components, but also has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent dust, moisture and other substances from entering the clothes dryer and causing damage to key components such as the electrical control box 50.

[0078] The stability of the connection between the shell sidewall 20 and the top wall 30 is one of the key factors in ensuring the stable operation of the entire clothes drying rack. To achieve this, such as... Figure 7 As shown, multiple side connectors r are cleverly arranged at the alignment of the shell side wall 20 and the top wall 30. These side connectors r are spaced apart, forming a stable support network, effectively enhancing the connection strength and stability between the shell side wall 20 and the top wall 30. The side connectors r and the top wall 30 are fixedly connected by screws. Through this structural technology of multiple side connectors r and screws, a solid and reliable connection system is formed between the shell side wall 20 and the top wall 30 of the clothes dryer. This system can not only effectively distribute and transmit various forces experienced by the clothes dryer during use, avoiding structural deformation or damage due to excessive local stress, but also ensure that the clothes dryer maintains good stability and reliability during long-term use, providing users with a safe and stable clothes drying experience.

[0079] Preferably, two side sections 70 are cleverly and spaced apart on both sides of the top wall 30. These two side sections 70 not only play an important supporting and protective role in structure, but also functionally realize the clever accommodation and lifting guidance of the drying rod 103. The space between the two side sections 70 forms the aforementioned groove h. The size and shape of this groove h perfectly match the drying rod 103, allowing the drying rod 103 to be smoothly raised and lowered within it, and to be neatly stored in the groove h when not in use.

[0080] The ends of the two machine side sections 70 are provided with connecting holes 73. The outer sealing plate 80 and the end cap 90 are fixed to the ends of the machine side sections by screws that engage with the connecting holes 73. The outer sealing plate 80 serves to protect the internal mechanical parts and electronic components; the end cap 90 serves to seal and protect, and also has a certain decorative function. In addition, this method of installing the outer sealing plate 80 and the end cap 90 through the connecting holes 73 and screws not only ensures the firmness and reliability of the installation, but also facilitates disassembly and maintenance when needed.

[0081] More preferably, the width of the first hanging bracket 1v is approximately equal to the width of the top wall 70. Since the ends of the clothes drying rack may be subject to significant lateral forces and uneven weight distribution during use, this width of the first hanging bracket 1v ensures the stability of the ends and prevents the clothes drying rack from tilting or swaying when being raised, lowered, or carrying clothes. Simultaneously, the width of the first hanging bracket 1v spans the first side area 01 and the second side area 02 of the top wall 70. This layout not only enhances the symmetry and balance of the overall structure but also allows the weight of the clothes drying rack to be evenly distributed across the two side areas, further improving the stability and reliability of the clothes drying rack.

[0082] Preferably, the top wall 70 includes a symmetrically distributed first side area 01 and second side area 02. A third hanging bracket 3v is installed in the first side area 01, and a second hanging bracket 2v is installed in the second side area 02. The width of the first hanging bracket 1v spans the first and second side areas. This technical approach takes into account the rational utilization of the internal space of the clothes drying rack and the layout of functional components. The second hanging bracket 2v is installed in the second side area 02 of the top wall 70, while the third hanging bracket 3v is installed in the first side area 01. This staggered arrangement not only avoids interference with components such as steel wire ropes, but also provides sufficient installation space for other components inside the clothes drying rack, such as the powertrain 40 and control box 50, while ensuring structural strength.

[0083] Furthermore, the widths of the second and third hanging brackets are smaller than the width of the first hanging bracket 1v. This smaller width design allows the second hanging bracket 2v and the third hanging bracket 3v to still provide effective support for the central area of ​​the clothes drying rack without increasing the space occupied, ensuring the stability and straightness of the clothes drying rack during lifting and lowering.

[0084] By optimizing the width and installation position of the hanging bracket, the clothes drying rack is not only more stable and reliable in structure, but also more efficient and reasonable in the use of internal space.

[0085] The above-mentioned easy-to-maintain concealed single-pole clothes drying rack disassembly and maintenance method includes the following steps: (1) Before starting maintenance, it is necessary to ensure that the power supply of the clothes drying rack is completely disconnected. This step is crucial because it can prevent electric shock accidents during maintenance and ensure the personal safety of maintenance personnel. Power can be disconnected by unplugging the power plug or turning off the corresponding power switch. At the same time, professional voltage testing tools can be used to check to ensure that there is no residual voltage in the clothes drying rack.

[0086] (2) The inspection cover is fixed to the top wall of the machine by multiple third screws. When disassembling, use a screwdriver that matches the third screw to loosen it and remove it; after the inspection cover is removed, the quick-connect terminal 33 can be seen on its inner side. The quick-connect terminal 33 is a key component for the power connection of the clothes drying machine. It connects the external power cord and the power cord of the electrical control box together to provide power to the clothes drying machine.

[0087] When disconnecting the power cord, carefully observe the structure and connection method of the quick-connect terminal 33, and operate according to the correct steps and methods. Preferably, the quick-connect terminal 33 has a release button or latch. Pressing the button or releasing the latch will disconnect the external power cord and the power cord of the control box from the quick-connect terminal. During the disconnection process, be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the terminal or the power cord.

[0088] (3) Use a screwdriver to remove the multiple second screws t2 connecting the top wall 30 and the lower connecting plate of the mounting bracket v. These second screws t2 are key components connecting the main unit assembly 102 and the frame housing 101; their removal will allow the main unit assembly to be separated from the frame housing. When removing the second screws t2, a suitable screwdriver should be selected, and the operation should be performed counterclockwise. The removed second screws t2 should be properly stored to prevent loss during subsequent assembly.

[0089] Once all the second screws t2 have been removed, the main unit assembly 102 can be separated from the rack housing 101. When separating the main unit assembly 102, lift it gently to avoid damaging its internal components. Simultaneously, carefully inspect the wiring and mechanical structure between the main unit assembly 102 and the rack housing 101 to ensure that no wiring is pulled or mechanical parts become stuck during separation. If any wiring or mechanical parts are found to obstruct the separation of the main unit assembly, they should be properly addressed before continuing the separation process.

[0090] (4) After the main unit is successfully separated, its internal components can be repaired or replaced. Depending on the malfunction of the clothes drying rack, components such as the powertrain, control box, and wire rope bogie can be inspected and repaired. If any damaged components are found, they need to be replaced promptly.

[0091] (5) After completing the above steps, you need to reassemble the clothes drying rack in the reverse order of disassembly, and then restore the power connection of the clothes drying rack so that the clothes drying rack can regain power.
