Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of clothes drying racks, specifically relating to a storage structure for storing end components on clothes drying components. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of modern living standards, electric clothes drying racks, as a smart home product, are gradually gaining popularity among consumers. Traditional electric clothes drying racks typically consist of a main unit fixed to the ceiling and a clothes drying assembly connected to the main unit via a lifting mechanism. The main unit usually has a storage slot to accommodate the clothes drying assembly, lifting mechanism, and related components when the clothes drying assembly is raised, thus saving space and maintaining an aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

[0003] However, existing electric clothes drying racks have some design shortcomings. First, most of the storage slots on the main unit are open-style, directly exposed. While this design facilitates the raising and lowering of the drying components, it appears visually less uncluttered and affects the overall aesthetics of the interior décor. Second, exposed storage slots easily accumulate dust, and in certain environments, such as areas with high humidity or many pests, insects may enter the main unit through the storage slots, even nesting inside, leading to hygiene problems or equipment malfunctions. Furthermore, open storage slots may become susceptible to damage from external factors over long-term use.

[0004] For example, a Chinese design patent with publication number CN304630368S, entitled "Electric Clothes Drying Rack," discloses a common main unit component with storage slots at both ends for storing the lifting mechanism and the two ends of the clothes drying rack. However, when the two ends of the clothes drying assembly become wider, the corresponding storage slots also become wider, so that the storage slots are exposed after the clothes drying rack is lowered.

[0005] In another patent, a stepped storage groove is adopted. For example, the patent entitled "Clothes Drying System" with publication number CN213173038U discloses a recessed area S similar to a storage groove. However, this structure exposes the upper connecting end of the folding rack 101, which not only affects the appearance but also easily accumulates dust and cobwebs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a storage structure for storing end components of a clothes drying assembly that is reliable in structure and can cover the storage slot, in view of the current situation of the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is as follows: a storage structure for storing end components of a clothes drying assembly, including a storage slot on the main unit, through which the lifting mechanism and the end components of the clothes drying assembly enter the storage slot. The storage slot is provided with an inwardly opening baffle, a rotating shaft structure is provided between the baffle and the main unit, and a gap is provided between the baffle and the lifting mechanism. The baffle can block most of the entrance to the storage slot, thus concealing unsightly parts and reducing the entry of insects and dust into the storage slot.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment, when the baffle covers the storage slot, the lifting mechanism is located on the free end side of the baffle.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the baffle is provided with a first limiting protrusion, and the edge of the receiving groove is provided with a second limiting protrusion to limit the baffle from sagging.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating shaft structure includes a shaft located on a baffle and a bearing located on the main component, with the shaft rotatably mounted on the bearing;

[0011] The shaft body includes a first section and a second section, with a gap between them. The bearing includes a first shaft hole for the first section to rotate and a second shaft hole for the second section to rotate. The first shaft hole has an opening on the side where the bearing contacts the main component. A torsion spring is installed inside the first shaft hole, connecting the bearing to a baffle, allowing the baffle to rotate towards the outlet of the receiving slot.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the bearing has a groove, the main component has a stud fixed in the groove, the bearing has a threaded hole corresponding to the stud, and a screw connects the stud and the threaded hole.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the main component is provided with a U-shaped seat, which includes protrusions on both sides of the baffle, and the baffle is also provided with positioning holes for the protrusions to pass through. The U-shaped seat can increase the stability of the baffle when it rotates and prevent the first and second segments from disengaging from the bearings.

[0014] In another embodiment, the storage structure for storing the end components of the clothes drying assembly includes a storage slot on the main unit, a lifting mechanism for the end components of the clothes drying assembly to enter the storage slot, a baffle on the storage slot, and a vertical lifting device connected to the baffle on the main unit. As the end components rise into the storage slot, the baffle is raised, and the lifting mechanism guides the baffle to rise vertically.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal lifting device includes a longitudinal guide groove disposed within the main unit and a guide protrusion disposed on the baffle. The guide protrusion is slidably disposed in the guide groove with a gap. There are at least two longitudinal guide grooves, which are arranged opposite to each other.

[0016] Unlike the structure of guide grooves and guide protrusions, in another scheme, the longitudinal lifting device is a longitudinally arranged spring that can push the baffle to the entrance of the storage slot.

[0017] In summary, the present invention addresses the issue of a wide storage groove appearing after the end component of a clothes drying assembly descends into the storage groove, affecting aesthetics and attracting insects and dust. Specifically, a baffle is added to the entrance of the storage groove, and a rotating shaft structure or a vertical lifting device is installed. This allows the baffle to quickly cover the storage groove after the end component descends, and to free up space in the storage groove after the end component enters it. Attached Figure Description
