[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a clothes rack with a folding function includes two sets of mutually rotating and folding outer vertical frames and inner vertical frames. The outer vertical frame includes a pair of parallel outer vertical rods 1, and the inner vertical frame includes a pair of parallel inner vertical rods 2. The middle parts of the outer vertical rods 1 and the inner vertical rods 2 are rotatably connected by a rotating component 6. The upper ends of the pair of outer vertical rods 1 are connected to an upper horizontal rod 4 by a connecting bracket 3, and the upper ends of the pair of inner vertical rods 2 are connected to an upper horizontal rod 4 by a connecting bracket 3. The two ends of the upper horizontal rod 4 are connected to telescopic rods 8 along its length.

[0028] The clothes drying rack mainly consists of two sets of mutually rotating and folding vertical frames: an outer frame and an inner frame. The outer frame includes a pair of parallel outer vertical rods 1, and the inner frame includes a pair of parallel inner vertical rods 2. This structure allows the clothes drying rack to be folded when not in use, saving space. The middle sections of the outer vertical rods 1 and inner vertical rods 2 are connected by a rotating component 6, allowing for adjustable rotation. The rotating component allows the outer and inner frames to rotate relative to each other within a certain range. This structure allows the clothes drying rack to be adjusted in terms of unfolding or folding angles as needed, conveniently adapting to the size and shape of the drying space. Telescopic rods 8 extend and retract along the length of the upper horizontal rod 4 at both ends. This telescopic structure increases the drying area of ​​the clothes drying rack, and users can adjust the length of the telescopic rods to accommodate different quantities and sizes of clothing. Simultaneously, when not drying a large amount of clothing, the telescopic rods can be retracted, making the clothes drying rack more compact. When drying clothes, users can unfold the outer and inner frames to a suitable angle using the rotating component 6, ensuring the clothes drying rack is stable and makes full use of space. After drying, users can retract the telescopic rod 8 and fold up the outer and inner vertical frames using the rotating component 6 for storage and to save space.

[0029] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the upper crossbar 4 is a hollow cylindrical structure. Several positioning holes are evenly spaced at the bottom of the upper crossbar 4. A spring pin 9 is provided on the telescopic rod 8. Adjusting the engagement position of the spring pin 9 with the positioning holes adjusts the telescopic length of the telescopic rod 8. In use, by manually adjusting the telescopic rod, the spring pin 9 will extend and retract under external force and engage with the corresponding positioning hole, thereby fixing the telescopic length of the telescopic rod 8 and achieving flexible adjustment of the drying area.

[0030] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the rotating assembly 6 includes an outer rotating component 61 and an inner rotating component 62 that rotate and cooperate with each other;

[0031] The outer rotating component 61 includes an integrally formed outer turntable 611 and an outer sleeve 612. The outer sleeve 612 is provided with an outer sleeve connection hole 613, which is sleeved with the outer vertical rod 1. The outer sleeve 612 is provided with an outer fixing hole 614 for fixed connection with the outer vertical rod 1.

[0032] The inner rotating component 62 includes an integrally formed inner turntable 621, an inner sleeve 622, and a middle sleeve 624. The inner turntable 621 is rotatably connected to the outer turntable 611. An inner sleeve hole 623 is provided through the inner sleeve 622, which is sleeved with the inner vertical rod 2. An inner fixing hole is provided on the inner sleeve 622 for fixed connection with the inner vertical rod 2. The axial direction of the middle sleeve 624 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the inner sleeve 622.

[0033] During installation, the outer sleeve 612 of the outer rotating component 61 is fitted onto the outer vertical rod 1 and fixedly connected to the outer vertical rod 1 through the outer fixing hole 614 with screws. The inner sleeve 622 of the inner rotating component 62 is fitted onto the inner vertical rod 2 and fixedly connected to the inner vertical rod 2 through the inner fixing hole with screws. When it is necessary to rotate the inner rotating component 62 relative to the outer rotating component 61, it can be manually operated on the outer vertical rod 1 or the inner vertical rod 2. Since the inner turntable 621 is rotatably connected to the outer turntable 611, the inner rotating component 62 can rotate freely relative to the outer rotating component 61. This rotation can drive the inner vertical rod 2 connected to the inner rotating component 62 and the load such as clothes on it to rotate together, thereby adjusting the drying height and angle.

[0034] Specifically, as shown in the figure, it also includes a central connecting rod 7 that fits into the central sleeve 624. The central sleeve 624 has a central connecting hole 625 that fits into the central connecting rod 7, and a central fixing hole 624 for fixed connection with the central connecting rod 7. From another angle, the central sleeve 624 and the inner sleeve 622 also have a three-way structure, which facilitates the installation of the outer vertical rod 1, the inner vertical rod 2, and the central connecting rod 7.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the connector 3 is a T-shaped three-way structure, which is respectively connected and fitted with the outer vertical frame, the inner vertical frame, and the upper horizontal bar 4.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the lower part of the outer vertical frame and the inner vertical frame are horizontally connected with a lower connecting rod 5, and the lower end of the outer vertical frame and the inner vertical frame are fitted with foot pads 10.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the outer vertical rod 1, inner vertical rod 2, upper horizontal rod 4, lower connecting rod 5, and telescopic rod 8 are all metal cylindrical structures.

[0038] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the rotating assembly 6 is made entirely of plastic, and a damped rotation structure is configured between the inner turntable 621 and the outer turntable 611. The damped rotation structure provides rotational resistance between the outer and inner vertical frames, facilitating the fixing of the rotation angle.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
