Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a foldable and easy-to-store clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] A foldable portable clothes rack is a compact and convenient clothes drying device. Chinese utility model patent document CN201468897U discloses a foldable portable clothes rack consisting of a main rod, secondary rods, clothes clips, a hinge pin fixing seat, and a sliding seat. The main rod is connected to the hinge pin fixing seat; 2 to 40 secondary rods are hinged to the hinge pin fixing seat through hinge holes and slide within the grooves of the sliding seat to achieve folding and unfolding. When storing the clothes rack: a person pushes the sliding seat upwards along the axial direction of the main rod. During this process, the secondary rods do not slide along the main rod with the sliding seat, but as the sliding seat moves upwards, it pushes all the horizontally placed secondary rods to swing. The secondary rods gradually swing around the hinge point between the secondary rod and the hinge pin fixing seat until all the secondary rods are close to the main rod, completing the storage process.

[0003] This clothes rack has the following technical problems:

[0004] First, as the sliding block moves upward, it needs to push all the horizontally placed auxiliary rods to swing, gradually rotating them around the hinge point with the hinge pin until they approach the main rod. However, during this process, the auxiliary rods do not automatically swing synchronously with the movement of the sliding block. A considerable amount of force needs to be applied manually to push the sliding block, and even manually adjusting the position of each auxiliary rod to ensure they are neatly stored next to the main rod. This is not only complex to operate, but also makes it highly susceptible to the auxiliary rods getting stuck with the sliding block during storage.

[0005] Secondly, the sliding seat must be positioned far from the hinge pin fixing seat so that all the auxiliary rods can be positioned in the retracted state. However, after repeated unfolding and retraction, significant wear will occur between the sliding seat, the main rod, and the auxiliary rods. After retraction, the sliding seat is very easy to move downwards, and multiple sets of auxiliary rods will unfold in an umbrella shape, making it impossible to retract completely. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a foldable and easy-to-store clothes rack that addresses the shortcomings of the prior art. The auxiliary rod can slide with the sliding component, and through the sliding guidance of the limiting component, the auxiliary rod can be automatically unfolded and folded. It is easy to operate, stable in the unfolded state, and completely folded.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable and easy-to-store clothes rack, including a support member, a sliding member, and several sets of auxiliary rods. The sliding member is installed on the support member and can slide relative to the support member. The feature is that the lower ends of the several sets of auxiliary rods are all hinged to the sliding member, and the support member is provided with a limiting member. Each set of auxiliary rods is linked with the limiting member and the auxiliary rod can slide relative to the limiting member.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, when the clothes rack needs to be unfolded, the sliding component is pushed, causing all the auxiliary rods to slide along the limiting components on the support. Since the lower ends of the auxiliary rods are hinged to the sliding component, as the sliding component moves upwards and gradually approaches the limiting components, the auxiliary rods gradually unfold until the desired clothes-drying state is achieved. When the clothes rack needs to be folded up, the sliding component is pulled, causing the auxiliary rods to slide along the limiting components. As the sliding component moves downwards and gradually moves away from the limiting components, the auxiliary rods gradually fold up and are finally stored near the support, forming a compact state. Whether unfolding or folding up, the limiting components guide the auxiliary rods, assisting in their unfolding or folding; when folding up, the limiting components limit several groups of auxiliary rods. Since the limiting components do not move with the auxiliary rods, and the entire process only requires pulling the sliding component, it is more convenient to operate compared to existing technologies. At the same time, the limiting components can stably position the auxiliary rods, and during folding up, wear between the limiting components and the auxiliary rods will not affect the folded state, achieving complete folding.

[0009] The aforementioned foldable and portable clothes rack can be further configured as follows: the support member is provided with a strip-shaped sliding hole, the sliding member is provided with a sliding block corresponding to the strip-shaped sliding hole, the sliding block is clearance-fitted with the strip-shaped sliding hole, the end of the sliding block extends to the outside of the strip-shaped sliding hole and the end of the sliding block is connected to a stop block, the width of the stop block is greater than the width of the strip-shaped sliding hole.

[0010] Using the above technical solution, the strip-shaped sliding hole provides a channel for the sliding block to move axially along the support member, allowing the sliding block to slide freely within the hole, thereby driving the auxiliary rod to unfold or fold. The stop block prevents the sliding block from sliding out of the strip-shaped sliding hole.

[0011] The aforementioned foldable and easy-to-store clothes rack can be further configured such that: the strip-shaped sliding hole is provided with several sets of spaced reinforcing holes, the width of each set of reinforcing holes is greater than the width of the strip-shaped sliding block, and the support member is provided with a set of U-shaped strips corresponding to each set of reinforcing holes.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, since the strip-shaped sliding hole is relatively long, multiple sets of reinforcing holes are set in the strip-shaped sliding hole and matched with U-shaped strips to play a reinforcing role and prevent the structure near the strip-shaped sliding hole from deforming.

[0013] The aforementioned foldable and portable clothes rack can be further configured such that: the sliding component includes a fan-shaped linkage body and a hinged line body; the fan-shaped linkage body is provided with several sets of connecting blocks arranged circumferentially along the fan-shaped linkage body; each set of connecting blocks has a through-hole; the hinged line body sequentially engages with the through-holes in the several sets of connecting blocks; there is an installation gap between each pair of adjacent sets of connecting blocks; at least one set of auxiliary rods is distributed in each set of installation gaps; the end of the auxiliary rod is hinged to the hinged line body.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, the hinged connector is used to connect the sector-shaped linkage and the auxiliary rod, realizing the hinged relationship between the auxiliary rod and the sliding component. The snap-fit ​​hole is used for the installation and positioning of the hinged connector and the sector-shaped linkage.

[0015] The aforementioned foldable and easy-to-store clothes rack can be further configured such that: one side of the snap-fit ​​hole is connected to an inlet opening, and both ends of the hinged wire are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting blocks at corresponding positions.

[0016] The above technical solution features an inlet opening, facilitating the insertion of the hinged wire body into several sets of snap-fit ​​holes.

[0017] The aforementioned foldable and easy-to-store clothes rack can be further configured such that the sliding component also includes an arc-shaped handle integrally formed with the fan-shaped linkage body.

[0018] Using the above technical solution, the curved handle makes it easy for people to pull the sliding parts.

[0019] The aforementioned foldable and easy-to-store clothes rack can be further configured as follows: the limiting member includes a fan-shaped limiting ring with both ends fixedly connected to the support member. The fan-shaped limiting ring is provided with a number of limiting holes arranged sequentially along the circumference of the fan-shaped limiting ring. The limiting holes penetrate the fan-shaped limiting ring. At least one set of auxiliary rods is inserted into each set of limiting holes, and the at least one set of auxiliary rods is in clearance fit with the corresponding limiting hole.

[0020] Using the above technical solution, during the movement of the auxiliary rod following the sliding component, the limiting hole guides the auxiliary rod to slide, thereby realizing the unfolding and retraction of the auxiliary rod.

[0021] The aforementioned foldable and easy-to-store clothes rack can be further configured such that the sidewall of the limiting hole is provided with two sets of symmetrically distributed guide blocks.

[0022] Using the above technical solution, the guide block further guides the auxiliary rod, preventing it from swaying left and right within the limiting hole.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (I) Through the hinged linkage between the sliding member and the auxiliary rod, the auxiliary rod can be automatically unfolded or folded simply by pushing or pulling the sliding member, without the need to adjust the position of each auxiliary rod individually. This makes the operation more labor-saving and intuitive, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of using the clothes rack. (II) Each set of auxiliary rods is linked with the limiting member (i.e., the auxiliary rods always maintain a sliding relationship with the limiting member during the movement of the sliding member), ensuring synchronization during unfolding or folding. This avoids inconsistent positions or jamming of the auxiliary rods, improving the reliability and stability of the clothes rack and ensuring smooth operation every time. (III) In the folded state, the auxiliary rods can be tightly folded near the support member, forming a compact folded state, effectively reducing the space occupied and making the clothes rack easier to store and carry, especially suitable for small apartments or travel. (IV) The limiting member is fixed to the support member, ensuring stable guidance and positioning of the auxiliary rods during unfolding and folding, avoiding positioning failure caused by component wear, and ensuring the stability of the clothes rack during use. (v) The clothes rack is aesthetically pleasing when stored.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 The foldable and portable clothes drying rack shown includes a support member 1, a sliding member 2, and multiple sets of auxiliary rods 3. The sliding member 2 is installed on the support member 1 and can slide relative to the support member 1. The lower ends of the multiple sets of auxiliary rods 3 are all hinged to the sliding member 2. The support member 1 is provided with a limiting member 4. Each set of auxiliary rods 3 is linked with the limiting member 4 and can slide relative to the limiting member 4.

[0035] The support member 1 has a strip-shaped sliding hole 1a, and the sliding member 2 has a sliding block 2a corresponding to the strip-shaped sliding hole 1a. The sliding block 2a is clearance-fitted with the strip-shaped sliding hole 1a. The strip-shaped sliding hole 1a provides a channel for the sliding block 2a to move along the axial direction of the support member 1, allowing the sliding block 2a to slide freely within the hole, thereby driving the auxiliary rod 3 to unfold or fold. The end of the sliding block 2a extends to the outside of the strip-shaped sliding hole 1a, and a stop block 2b is connected to the end of the sliding block 2a. The width of the stop block 2b is greater than the width of the strip-shaped sliding hole 1a, preventing the sliding block 2a from sliding out of the strip-shaped sliding hole 1a.

[0036] The strip-shaped sliding hole 1a is provided with multiple sets of spaced reinforcing holes 1b, the width of each set of reinforcing holes 1b being greater than the width of the strip-shaped sliding block 2a. Since the strip-shaped sliding hole 1a is relatively long, multiple sets of reinforcing holes are provided in the strip-shaped sliding hole 1a and combined with U-shaped strips to provide reinforcement and prevent deformation of the structure near the strip-shaped sliding hole 1a.

[0037] The sliding component 2 includes a sector-shaped linkage body 2c and a hinged connector 5. The sector-shaped linkage body 2c has multiple sets of connecting blocks 2d arranged circumferentially along its length. Each set of connecting blocks 2d has a through-hole 2e. The hinged connector 5 sequentially engages with the through-holes 2e in the multiple sets of connecting blocks 2d. There is an installation gap between each pair of adjacent sets of connecting blocks 2d. At least one set of auxiliary rods 3 is distributed within each installation gap. The end of the auxiliary rod 3 is hinged to the hinged connector 5. The hinged connector 5 connects the sector-shaped linkage body 2c and the auxiliary rods 3, achieving a hinged relationship between the auxiliary rods 3 and the sliding component 2. The through-holes 2e are used for the installation and positioning of the hinged connector 5 and the sector-shaped linkage body 2c.

[0038] One side of the snap-fit ​​hole 2e is connected to a wire inlet opening 2f, and both ends of the hinged wire body 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting blocks 2d. The wire inlet opening 2f facilitates the insertion of the hinged wire body 5 into several sets of snap-fit ​​holes 2e.

[0039] The sliding component 2 also includes an arc-shaped handle 2g integrally formed with the fan-shaped linkage body 2c, which facilitates the manual pulling of the sliding component 2.

[0040] The limiting member 4 includes a sector-shaped limiting ring 4a fixedly connected to the support member 1 at both ends. The sector-shaped limiting ring 4a has multiple sets of limiting holes 4b arranged sequentially along its circumference. The limiting holes 4b penetrate the sector-shaped limiting ring 4a. Each set of limiting holes 4b contains a set of auxiliary rods 3, with a clearance fit between the auxiliary rods 3 and the corresponding limiting hole 4b. As the auxiliary rods 3 move with the sliding member 2, the limiting holes 4b guide the auxiliary rods 3, enabling their unfolding and retraction.

[0041] The sidewall of the limiting hole 4b is provided with two sets of symmetrically distributed guide blocks 4c to prevent the auxiliary rod 3 from swaying left and right within the limiting hole 4b.

[0042] The operation method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0043] like Figure 1 The image shows the clothes rack in its folded state. The sliding member 2 is inserted into the limiting hole 4b of the fan-shaped limiting ring 4a at the lower end of the strip sliding hole 1a and above each set of auxiliary rods 3. The lower end of each set of auxiliary rods 3 is hinged to the sliding member 2. Since the limiting member 4 is always fixed on the support member 1, each set of auxiliary rods 3 can be stably maintained in the folded state, which has good aesthetics.

[0044] When unfolding is required, the person holds the arc-shaped handle 2g and pushes the slider 2 along the strip-shaped sliding hole 1a until the slider 2 moves to the upper end of the sliding strip hole. During this process, each set of auxiliary rods 3 will move upward with the slider 2. Furthermore, under the sliding engagement of the limiting hole 4b, multiple sets of auxiliary rods 3 will gradually open in an umbrella shape until unfolded to the desired extent. Figure 2As shown in the diagram, the clothes rack remains stably extended, regardless of whether it is due to the items being hung or the leverage force of the auxiliary rod 3.
