The hollow interiors of the upper and lower connecting arms form a wiring channel. At least one end of the main frame is provided with a reversing component.

[0006] The power cord from the main unit is reversed by the reversing component and enters the wiring channel of the adjacent upper arm. Then it is wound around the first hinge shaft and enters the wiring channel of the lower arm until it is connected to the electrical device on the drying rod.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the reversing component is a second hinge shaft that is hinged to the upper connecting arm and the main frame, and the power line is wound around the second hinge shaft.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the power cord is wound around the first hinge axis at least once, and the power cord is wound around the second hinge axis at least once.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the commutator includes a winding commutator and a locking part connected thereto. The locking part is used to lock the power line, and the power line passing through the locking part is wound around the winding commutator and then enters the wiring channel of the upper connecting arm.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the power cord is wound around the first hinge shaft at least once, and the power cord is wound around the reversing portion of the commutator at least once.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the side wall of the upper connecting arm has a cable inlet hole for the power line to enter after the commutator is reversed.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the reversing direction part is a columnar structure, and the locking part is a convex-shaped structure.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, a protective shell is provided outside the first hinge shaft, and the inner cavity of the protective shell is connected to the wiring channels of the upper arm and the lower arm respectively.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the main frame has a receiving groove for accommodating the folding lifting frame and the drying rod;

[0015] The bottom of the drying rack has a mounting groove for installing electrical devices.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the electrical device is a lighting device, a sterilization device, or a drying device.

[0026] To more clearly illustrate the embodiments of this utility model, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the folding clothes drying rack of this embodiment includes a main frame 1, a folding lifting frame 2, and a drying rod 3. The drying rod 3 is connected to the main frame 1 through the folding lifting frame 2, and the drying rod 3 is lifted and lowered in linkage through a steel wire rope 0. The specific structure can be referred to the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] In this embodiment, the main unit 4 is installed in the middle of the main frame 1. The folding lifting frame 2 includes a left folding arm 2-1 and a right folding arm 2-2 respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the main unit 4. The structures of the left folding arm 2-1 and the right folding arm 2-2 are symmetrical. The specific structure of the right folding arm 2-2 will be described in detail below. Figure 5 As shown, the right folding arm 2-2 includes an upper connecting arm 21 and a lower connecting arm 22. The left end of the upper connecting arm 21 is hinged to the left end of the lower connecting arm 22 via a hinge shaft 23. The right end of the upper connecting arm 21 is hinged to the right end of the main frame 1, and the right end of the lower connecting arm 22 is hinged to the right end of the drying rod 3. The hollow interiors of the upper connecting arm 21 and the lower connecting arm 22 form a wiring channel. A protective shell 24 is provided outside the hinge shaft 23. The inner cavity of the protective shell 24 is connected to the wiring channels of the upper and lower connecting arms to facilitate the concealed wiring of the power cord.

[0030] In this embodiment, the right end of the main frame 1 is also provided with a reversing member 5 for reversing the power cord. The power cord 6 from the main unit 4 in this embodiment is reversed by the reversing member 5 and enters the wiring channel of the adjacent upper arm. It then winds around the hinge shaft 23 and enters the wiring channel of the lower arm until it connects to the lighting device 7 installed on the drying rod. The power cord is wound around the hinge shaft at least once to reduce bending losses during reversal and improve the bending fatigue life of the power cord.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the commutator 5 includes a winding commutator part 5-1 and a connecting locking part 5-2. The locking part 5-2 is used to lock the power cable 6 onto the main frame 1. After passing through the locking part, the power cable winds around the winding commutator part and enters the cable routing channel of the upper connecting arm. The winding commutator part has a columnar structure, and the locking part has a convex structure. The commutator in this embodiment is integrally molded, facilitating processing and installation. Furthermore, the power cable winds around the winding commutator part 5-1 at least once.

[0032] In addition, the side wall of the upper connecting arm 21 in this embodiment has a cable inlet hole 210 for the power line to enter after the commutator is reversed.

[0033] The bottom of the main frame 1 in this embodiment has a receiving groove 10 for accommodating the folding lifting frame 2 and the drying rod 3, which can be stored in the receiving groove.

[0034] The bottom of the drying rod 3 in this embodiment has a mounting groove for mounting the lighting device 7. Decorative covers 31 are installed at both ends of the drying rod 3. After removing the decorative covers 31, the mounting bolts can be easily loosened or tightened to facilitate the installation and maintenance of the clothes drying rack.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] The difference between the folding clothes drying rack in this embodiment and that in embodiment 1 is:

[0037] The commutator is replaced with a hinge shaft that connects the upper arm to the main frame. The power cord is wound around the hinge shaft at least once, which can also realize the commutation of the power cord and meet the needs of different applications.

[0038] Other structures can be found in Example 1.

[0039] Example 3:

[0040] The difference between the folding clothes drying rack in this embodiment and that in embodiment 1 is:

[0041] The main unit rack is symmetrically equipped with commutator components on both the left and right ends to achieve symmetrical layout of dual power lines, which facilitates backup switching;

[0042] Other structures can be found in Example 1.

[0043] Example 4:

[0044] The difference between the folding clothes drying rack in this embodiment and that in embodiment 1 is:

[0045] The lighting device can also be replaced with a sterilization device or a drying device;

[0046] Other structures can be found in Example 1.

[0047] The above description is only a detailed explanation of the preferred embodiments and principles of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods based on the ideas provided by this utility model, and these changes should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
