[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-5 The present application claims a wire-concealing drying rod for expanding the range of wired power supply within the scope of an electric clothes drying machine, expanding the range of wired power supply to fixed drying rods and various expandable functional modules based on the fixed drying rods. The functional modules of the conventional fixed drying rods are mainly various telescopic movable rod members 11, which are used in a manual manner in the past, specifically to extend or store the movable rod members 11. In order to improve the degree of intelligence, various movable rod members 11 are gradually assisted by motor drives to achieve automation. Further, various sensors can also be configured on the electric clothes drying machine to generate control signals for different components of the electric clothes drying machine according to the signals collected by the sensors, so as to achieve more diverse intelligent functions. The above implementation methods cannot be separated from power consumption.
[0031] The wire-concealing drying rod of the present application comprises a rod member 11 with a hollow cavity arranged along the length of the rod member 11, the hollow cavity comprising at least a wire cavity 12, and at least one through hole 16 arranged adjacent to the wire cavity 12, and the wire 14 is fixed in the rod member 11 by a through line cap 15.
[0032] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the drying rod of the present embodiment is loaded with two functional modules: a telescopic rod 4 and a hanging assembly 5. Generally, the telescopic rod 4 is arranged inside the rod member 11 to extend the length of the rod member 11 to increase the drying range; the hanging assembly 5 is arranged on the upper surface of the rod member 11 to adjust the spacing between the hangers, having the effect of windproof. Corresponding to the two functional modules, the hollow cavity of the rod member 11 is correspondingly configured with a telescopic cavity 131 and a hanging moving cavity 132 as functional cavities 13, and in the cross-sectional view of the rod member 11, the telescopic cavity 131 is arranged at the lower part, and the hanging moving cavity 132 is arranged at the upper part. Further, some models of the drying machine also need to control the telescopic rod 4 or the hanging assembly 5 through a linkage assembly 6, and a linkage cavity 133 corresponding to the adjacent telescopic cavity 131 or hanging moving cavity 132 needs to be arranged. The different functional cavities 13 can be separated or partially separated according to the linkage needs or the stress needs of the rod member 11.
[0033] The wire cavity 12 is arranged on the surface of the rod member 11, and the range of the wire cavity 12 is limited by a detachable wire cover 121. In one possible implementation, the wire cover 121 is fixed to the rod member 11 by the nested cooperation of a clamping groove 111 and a clamping strip 1211, wherein the clamping groove 111 is arranged on the rod member 11, and the clamping strip 1211 is arranged on the edge of the wire cover 121. The material of the wire cover 121 can be the same as or different from that of the rod member 11, and it is appropriate to be aesthetic and easy to install. In the present embodiment, the telescopic rod 4 is required to be directly powered to facilitate control, reduce the linkage assembly 6 from the bracket 3 of the electric drying machine, and realize lightweight design of the drying rod. Therefore, the wire cavity 12 is arranged adjacent to the telescopic cavity 131, and a through hole 16 is formed on the common side wall of the telescopic cavity 131 and the wire cavity 12 for introducing the wire 14 extending from the wire cavity 12 into the telescopic cavity 131.
[0034] In order to fix the position of the wire 14 in each hollow cavity, a through line cap 15 is arranged to at least partially insert the telescopic cavity 131 (or other functional cavities 13) from the wire cavity 12 through the through hole 16, guide the wire 14 to extend from the wire cavity 12 into the telescopic cavity 131 through the through hole 16, and take one of the through line caps 15 as the fixed point. Referring to Figures 3-5The wire passing cap 15 of the embodiment includes a limiting head 151 and a turning clamp 152 connected with the limiting head 151 orthogonally, the limiting head 151 is provided with a first wire passing groove 1512 penetrating through the body, and the turning clamp 152 is provided with a second wire passing groove 1522 orthogonal to the first wire passing groove 1512. In use, the turning clamp 152 is inserted into the through hole 16 to reach the functional cavity 13, the limiting head 151 is kept in the wire passing cavity 12, and the electric wire 14 can pass through the first wire passing groove 1512 to reach the second wire passing groove 1522, and the change of the spatial position of the electric wire 14 in the first wire passing groove 1512 and the second wire passing groove 1522 can have a certain fixing effect on the electric wire 14 itself. Further, the side view structure of the limiting head 151 is an axisymmetric structure, and has a virtual first symmetry line 1511, and the turning clamp 152 is connected on the first symmetry line 1511, which makes the electric wire 14 enter the second wire passing groove 1522 with a similar bending angle from any side of the limiting head 151, thereby improving the foolproofness of the use of the wire passing cap 15. Further, the turning clamp 152 is provided as an axisymmetric structure and has a virtual second symmetry line 1521, and the second symmetry line 1521 is provided with the second wire passing groove 1522 on both sides, which makes the electric wire 14 enter any second wire passing groove 1522 after entering the first wire passing groove 1512 from any side of the limiting head 151, so as to adapt to diversified wiring requirements. As shown in Figure 5 for example, the electric wire 14 is introduced into the first wire passing groove 1512 from the left side of the drawing, and is led out from the right side of the first wire passing groove 1512 to enter the second wire passing groove 1522 on the right side, and then is wound leftward, so that the two ends of the electric wire 14 are located on the left side of the wire passing cap 15; in another way, the electric wire 14 is introduced into the first wire passing groove 1512 from the left side of the drawing, and is led out from the right side of the first wire passing groove 1512 to enter the second wire passing groove 1522 on the right side, and then is wound rightward, so that the two ends of the electric wire 14 are located on both sides of the wire passing cap 15. Those skilled in the art can understand that, on the basis of the two winding modes, flexible changes can be made to adapt to the change of the wiring of the drying rod. In order to further fix the electric wire 14, and avoid the short circuit or open circuit of the electrical connection of the end of the electric wire 14 due to the shaking of the electric wire 14, the first wire passing groove 1512 and the second wire passing groove 1522 are respectively provided with structures for clamping the electric wire 14. Alternatively, the following structures are included:
[0035] The side wall of the transition of the first wire passing groove 1512 to the second wire passing groove 1522 is provided with an avoiding opening 1513, which is used to avoid the excessive bending angle of the electric wire 14 when the electric wire 14 is wound from the first wire passing groove 1512 to the second wire passing groove 1522, and also avoid the position of the bending of the electric wire 14 protruding outside the wire passing cap 15;
[0036] The second wire slot 1522 is provided as a semi-closed structure. One possible implementation is to provide staggered intermittent blocks 1524 on the side wall and top wall of the second wire slot 1522, which can prevent the fixed wire 14 from being pulled out of the second escape port 1513, and also facilitate repeated disassembly and assembly of the wire 14 on the second wire slot 1522;
[0037] The two ends of the two symmetrical second wire slots 1522 are respectively provided with third wire slots 1523 for connecting the two second wire slots 1522, which can improve the tightness of the wire 14 and the wire cap 15, and also provide more diversified winding methods.
[0038] Further, the fixing method of the wire cap 15 relative to the rod 11 can include at least one of the following:
[0039] The relative fixation of the limiting head 151 and the inner wall of the wire cavity 12 is achieved. This method requires that the cross-sectional outer contour of the limiting head 151 is similar in shape and size to the cross-sectional inner contour of the wire cavity 12, so that the limiting head 151 is tightly nested in the wire cavity 12, and the wire cavity 12 clamps the limiting head 151 to fix the position of the entire wire cap 15;
[0040] The relative fixation of the turning clamp 152 and the through hole 16 is achieved. This method requires that at least a part of the cross-sectional outer contour of the turning clamp 152 and the cross-sectional inner contour of the through hole 16 can achieve interference fit, so that the wire cap 15 can be fixed after being inserted into the through hole 16.
[0041] In this embodiment, considering that the telescopic rod 4 is directly fed by the wire 14, the telescopic rod 4 will move the end of the wire 14 connected thereto when moving in the telescopic cavity 131. In order to avoid the wire 14 from being tangled inside the rod 11, the wire 14 in this embodiment is at least partially provided as a spring. The linear structure of the wire 14 is provided as a three-dimensional spring, which not only helps to compress the length in the longitudinal direction, but also avoids the protective layer of the wire 14 from being torn or tangled in the hollow cavity under repeated pulling.
[0042] In another alternative implementation, the electric wire 14 is a multi-core wire, which is a cable or wire composed of multiple thin wires (cores) twisted or arranged in parallel. Due to the twisted structure of the internal multiple thin wires, the multi-core wire is more flexible than a single-core wire and is easy to bend and fold. The dispersed stress design of the thin wires makes them less likely to break in a repeated bending or vibrating environment, thereby prolonging the service life. The parallel structure of the multiple wires reduces the risk of single-point failure. Even if an individual wire breaks, the overall wire can still maintain the electrical conductivity. The multi-core wire can integrate multiple wires with different functions (such as power lines, signal lines, and ground lines), thereby reducing the complexity of wiring. The characteristics and advantages of the multi-core wire are suitable for application in the electric clothes drying machine of the present application. In combination with the spring-like structure, the power supply reliability of the electric wire 14 can be further improved.
[0043] In this embodiment, the main power source of the electric clothes drying machine is derived from the AC power of the city network, and under certain conditions, it can also be derived from solar energy and a storage battery. The main power-consuming modules of the electric clothes drying machine are located in the main machine, and the drying assembly is a secondary power-consuming module. Therefore, the power consumption range can be expanded by taking power from the main machine through the drying assembly. Figure 1 The electric clothes drying rack of the present embodiment includes a main machine (not shown), a drying assembly controlled by the main machine, and a lifting frame 2 connecting the main machine and the drying assembly. The drying assembly includes a pair of parallel fixed rods 1, a bracket 3 connected orthogonally to both ends of the fixed rod 1, and multiple functional rods extended based on the fixed rod 1, such as telescopic rods 4, drying sheet rods, drying nets, and movable hanging components 5. The lifting frame 2 is fixed in the bracket 3, and when the lifting frame 2 is retracted, the bracket 3 is close to the main machine. The bracket 3 can provide sufficient accommodation space for the power supply module and the transmission module in the form of a bracket box 31. Therefore, the electric wire 14 arranged in the drying assembly can be connected to the power supply in the bracket box 31. When the fixed rod 1 is a wire-hiding drying rod of the present application, it is suitable for the layout of the power supply module in the bracket box 31, and the arrangement of the electric wire 14 in the rod 11 is adjusted. For example, the power supply module includes a controller and an electric motor or other power-consuming equipment electrically connected to the controller, and the power supply module is arranged in a single bracket box 31. Correspondingly, the electric wire 14 in the fixed rod 1 needs to be led out from the power supply circuit board in the same bracket box 31 and connected to the power-consuming position in the fixed rod 1. The direction of the electric wire 14 is realized according to the aforementioned method through the wire-hiding drying rod of the present application.
[0044] In summary, the application provides a wire-hiding drying rod, which comprises a rod member with a hollow cavity arranged therein, the hollow cavity comprising a wire cavity for accommodating a wire, and at least one via hole arranged in the adjacent hollow cavity. The wire-hiding drying rod further comprises a wire passing cap, which is at least partially inserted into the wire cavity through the via hole, for fixing the position of the wire in the hollow cavity. The application also provides an electric drying machine, which comprises a main machine and a drying assembly controlled by the main machine, wherein the drying assembly comprises the wire-hiding drying rod as described above. The wire-hiding drying rod of the application hides the wire in the hollow cavity of the rod member, which can expand the range of wired power supply and improve the stability of power supply in the range of the drying rod. Moreover, the wire can be extended and fixed to any connection position on the drying rod by using the wire passing cap and the via hole, which has little change to the original design and is easy to implement.
