Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying technology, and in particular to a drying component and a clothes drying machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, more and more people are using electric clothes drying racks. Their electric lifting, lighting, and drying functions help people dry clothes more conveniently and effortlessly, improving their quality of life. However, with technological advancements and changing consumer demands, existing clothes drying racks have also brought some problems. To prevent clothes from piling up during the drying process and becoming difficult to dry, existing clothes drying racks usually use perforated or spaced rods to separate the clothes. However, this means that clothes can only be collected one by one, resulting in a poor user experience and low efficiency in collecting clothes.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a clothes drying assembly and a clothes drying machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying component and a clothes drying machine that can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] Firstly, a drying assembly is provided, comprising:
[0007] The bracket is equipped with a transmission assembly;
[0008] The drying rod is equipped with an anti-slip structure to prevent clothes from slipping. The anti-slip structure is retracted or extended on the drying rod by the movement of the bracket via the transmission component.
[0009] As an optional implementation, the bracket is provided with a driving component, which can reciprocate on the bracket. The reciprocating motion of the driving component drives the transmission assembly, so as to realize the anti-slip structure retracting or unfolding on the drying rod.
[0010] As an optional implementation, a cam is rotatably provided inside the drying rod. The cam abuts against the anti-slip structure. The transmission component is connected to the anti-slip structure through the cam. When the driving component reciprocates on the bracket, the transmission component drives the cam to rotate inside the drying rod. The anti-slip structure retracts or expands on the drying rod as the cam rotates.
[0011] As an optional implementation, the transmission assembly includes:
[0012] A rack, which is fixedly connected to the drive component;
[0013] A first gear is rotatably mounted on the bracket and meshes with the rack;
[0014] The second gear is rotatably disposed inside the drying rod and connected to the cam. When the second gear rotates, it drives the cam to rotate.
[0015] A timing belt meshes with the first gear and the second gear to transmit the driving force of the drive component to the cam.
[0016] As an optional implementation method,
[0017] The drying component is used in the drying equipment, and the drying component can move up and down in the drying equipment;
[0018] The drying assembly further includes a folding assembly, which is fixedly connected to the driving component. When the drying assembly moves up and down, the folding assembly drives the driving component to reciprocate within the bracket.
[0019] As an optional implementation, the anti-slip structure is specifically an anti-slip strip, which has multiple upward-facing anti-slip recesses, which are evenly distributed along the length of the drying rod.
[0020] As an optional implementation, the drying rod has a hollow structure with a wall thickness of 0.5-2mm;
[0021] When the anti-slip strip is retracted into the drying rod, the top of the anti-slip strip is at the same level as the top of the drying rod. When the anti-slip strip is extended and protrudes from the top of the drying rod, the bottom of the anti-slip strip is still located inside the drying rod.
[0022] Therefore, when the anti-slip strip retracts or unfolds relative to the drying rod, the anti-slip strip is limited to moving along the vertical direction of the drying rod.
[0023] As an optional implementation, when the anti-slip strip is retracted into the drying rod, the top of the anti-slip strip is 0.5-2mm higher than the top of the drying rod; when the anti-slip strip is unfolded and protrudes from the top of the drying rod, the bottom of the anti-slip strip is still located inside the drying rod.
[0024] Therefore, when the anti-slip strip retracts or unfolds relative to the drying rod, the anti-slip strip is limited to moving along the vertical direction of the drying rod.
[0025] As an optional implementation, the end of the drying rod is provided with a through hole, through which the timing belt passes and meshes with the second gear.
[0026] Secondly, a clothes drying rack is provided, comprising:
[0027] The main unit is equipped with a power unit;
[0028] As described above, the drying assembly is connected to the main unit via a folding assembly.
[0029] Based on the above technical solution, this disclosure has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0030] The drying assembly includes a bracket and a drying rod. An anti-slip structure is installed on the drying rod, which can be retracted inside the rod or extended beyond the top. A transmission component is installed on the bracket, which is connected to the anti-slip structure to drive its retraction and extension along the drying rod. When the anti-slip structure is extended, users can hang clothes normally without slipping or piling up, effectively improving drying efficiency. When the anti-slip structure is retracted, users can quickly gather the clothes together and remove them quickly, eliminating the need to collect them one by one, resulting in high efficiency and a better user experience.

[0041] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0042] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides a drying assembly, including a bracket 10 with a transmission assembly 30 on it; a drying rod 20 with an anti-slip structure 201 to prevent clothes from sliding. The anti-slip structure 201 is folded or unfolded at the top of the drying rod 20 by the transmission assembly 30 as the bracket 10 moves.
[0043] By installing an anti-slip structure 201 on the drying rod 20, which can be retracted inside the drying rod 20 or extended protruding from the top of the drying rod 20, and a transmission component 30 installed on the bracket 10, the transmission component 30 is connected to the anti-slip structure 201 to drive the anti-slip structure 201 to retract or extend on the drying rod 20. When the anti-slip structure 201 is extended outside the drying rod 20, the user can hang clothes normally, and because of the anti-slip structure 201, the clothes will not slide or pile up, effectively improving drying efficiency. When the anti-slip structure 201 is retracted inside the drying rod 20, the user can quickly gather the clothes on the drying rod 20 together and then quickly remove the clothes, without having to slowly collect them one by one, resulting in high efficiency and improved user experience.
[0044] In some embodiments, the bracket 10 is provided with a driving component 101, which can reciprocate on the bracket 10. The reciprocating motion of the driving component 101 drives the transmission assembly 30 to realize the anti-slip structure 201 retracting or unfolding on the drying rod 20.
[0045] By setting a reciprocating drive component 101 on the bracket 10, and then driving the transmission assembly 30 through the drive component 101, the anti-slip structure 201 is controlled to retract or unfold on the drying rod 20. Since the drying rod 20 is set at both ends of the bracket 10, setting the drive component 101 on the bracket 10 can make full use of the space on the bracket 10, avoiding the structure of the drying rod 20 being too complex, which would increase the size of the drying rod 20, making it look too bulky and affecting its aesthetics. In addition, since the drying rod 20 is used to hang clothes, it needs to be used with clothes hangers. However, the size of the hook part of the clothes hanger on the market is generally a fixed size. If the drying rod 20 is too bulky, there will be a problem that the clothes hanger cannot be hung on the drying rod 20. By setting the drive component 101 on the bracket 10 and connecting the drive component 101 and the anti-slip structure 201 on the drying rod 20 with the transmission assembly 30, the size of the drying rod 20 can be effectively reduced and matched with the size of the hook part of the clothes hanger.
[0046] In some embodiments, a cam 203 is rotatably provided inside the drying rod 20. The cam 203 abuts against the anti-slip structure 201. The transmission component 30 is connected to the anti-slip structure 201 through the cam 203. When the drive component 101 reciprocates on the bracket 10, the transmission component 30 drives the cam 203 to rotate inside the drying rod 20. The anti-slip structure 201 retracts or unfolds on the drying rod 20 as the cam 203 rotates.
[0047] By setting a rotatable cam 203 inside the drying rod 20, and having the cam 203 abut against the anti-slip structure 201, when the cam 203 rotates inside the drying rod 20, the anti-slip structure 201 retracts or expands on the drying rod 20 as the cam 203 rotates. Specifically, since the cam 203 has a smooth surface and has an extended part and an inward part at different distances from the axis of rotation of the cam 203, when the cam 203 rotates to the point where the extended part abuts against the anti-slip structure 201, the anti-slip structure 201 is in an expanded state, protruding from the surface of the drying rod 20. At this time, the user can dry clothes normally, and the clothes will not slip or pile up during the drying process. When the cam 203 rotates to the point where the inward part abuts against the anti-slip structure 201, the anti-slip structure 201 is in a retracted state, retracted inside the drying rod 20. At this time, the user can quickly gather the clothes together to achieve quick clothes collection.
[0048] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 30 includes: a rack 301 fixedly connected to the drive component 101; a first gear 302 rotatably disposed on the bracket 10 and meshing with the rack 301; a second gear 303 rotatably disposed in the drying rod 20 and connected to the cam 203, which drives the cam 203 to rotate when the second gear 303 rotates; and a synchronous belt 304 meshing with the first gear 302 and the second gear 303 to transmit the driving force of the drive component 101 to the cam 203.
[0049] By fixing the rack 301 to the drive component 101, when the drive component 101 reciprocates, it drives the rack 301 to reciprocate. Since the rack 301 meshes with the first gear 302, when the rack 301 reciprocates, the first gear 302 follows the rack 301 to rotate forward or backward, thereby driving the synchronous belt 304 and the second gear 303 to rotate. When the second gear 303 rotates, since the second gear 303 is connected to the cam 203, it will drive the cam 203 to rotate. Thus, the rotation of the cam 203 realizes the folding and unfolding of the anti-slip structure 201 on the drying rod 20.
[0050] In some embodiments, the drying assembly is applied to the drying equipment, and the drying assembly can move up and down in the drying equipment. The drying assembly also includes a folding assembly 40, which is fixedly connected to the driving component 101. When the drying assembly moves up and down, the folding assembly 40 can drive the driving component 101 to reciprocate within the bracket 10.
[0051] In conventional applications, the drying assembly is used in drying equipment and can move up and down within the equipment. It is fixedly connected to the drive component 101 via the folding assembly 40, thereby driving the bracket 10 to move up and down. While the folding assembly 10 is moving up and down, the drive component 101 reciprocates within the bracket. Specifically, the folding assembly 40 is generally configured as a folding frame, with two drive components 101 connected to one end of the frame 10. When the folding frame rises, the two drive components 101 move away from each other, at which point the drive component 101 drives the transmission component 30 to unfold the anti-slip structure 201, protruding from the surface of the drying rod 20, and the clothes are in the drying state. When the folding frame descends, the two drive components 101 move towards each other, at which point the drive component 101 drives the transmission component 30 to retract the anti-slip structure 201, storing it within the drying rod 20, and the clothes are in the collected state, allowing for quick and easy collection of the clothes.
[0052] The above-mentioned drying state refers to the user hanging the clothes on the drying rod 20 after washing them and waiting for them to dry; the clothes-taking state refers to the clothes being dry and needing to be taken down from the drying rod 20.
[0053] In some embodiments, the anti-slip structure 201 is specifically an anti-slip strip, which has a plurality of upward-facing anti-slip recesses, which are evenly distributed along the length of the drying rod 20.
[0054] By setting anti-slip recesses with upward openings on the anti-slip strips, and distributing these anti-slip recesses at equal intervals along the length of the drying rod 20, the anti-slip recesses are used to hang clothes. When the drying assembly is in the drying state, the clothes are separated, and each piece of clothing has a certain gap between each other, so as to prevent the clothes from being blown together by the wind and making them difficult to dry.
[0055] In some embodiments, the drying rod 20 has a hollow structure with a wall thickness of 0.5-2mm. When the anti-slip strip is folded inside the drying rod 20, the top of the anti-slip strip is at the same level as the top of the drying rod 20. When the anti-slip strip is unfolded and protrudes from the top of the drying rod 20, the bottom of the anti-slip strip is still inside the drying rod 20. Therefore, when the anti-slip strip moves in a folding or unfolding motion relative to the drying rod 20, the anti-slip strip is limited to moving in the up-down direction along the drying rod 20.
[0056] By setting the wall thickness of the drying rod 20 to 0.5-2mm, when the anti-slip strip is folded inside the drying rod 20 and its top is at the same level as the top of the drying rod 20, a portion of the anti-slip strip is still in contact with the drying rod 20. That is, the thicker part of the wall of the drying rod 20 is still in contact with the anti-slip strip, and the anti-slip strip is not completely folded or detached from the drying rod 20. When the anti-slip strip is unfolded and protrudes from the top of the drying rod 20, the bottom of the anti-slip strip is still located inside the drying rod 20. That is, the anti-slip strip is not completely protruding from the top of the drying rod 20, and a portion of its structure is still contained within the drying rod 20. Therefore, regardless of whether the anti-slip strip is in a folded or unfolded state, it is restricted to moving only along the vertical direction of the drying rod 20 and will not detach from the drying rod 20. This ensures that the anti-slip strip is stably connected to the drying rod 20 and is less likely to fall off.
[0057] In some embodiments, when the anti-slip strip is retracted within the drying rod 20, the top of the anti-slip strip is 0.5-2mm higher than the top of the drying rod 20. When the anti-slip strip is extended and protrudes from the top of the drying rod 20, the bottom of the anti-slip strip is still located within the drying rod 20. Therefore, when the anti-slip strip retracts or extends relative to the drying rod 20, the anti-slip strip is limited to moving in the up-down direction along the drying rod 20.
[0058] Normally, users need to lower the drying rod 20 to hang or retrieve clothes, whether they are drying or taking them down. In this invention, when the drying component is lowered, the anti-slip strip retracts into the drying rod 20 to facilitate quick clothes retrieval. However, when users are drying clothes, because the anti-slip strip is retracted into the drying rod 20, they cannot accurately identify the hanging position, i.e., the anti-slip recess of the anti-slip strip. This can lead to users hanging two or more pieces of clothing in the same anti-slip recess, resulting in clothes piling up in certain hanging positions. Users then need to manually adjust the position, which is time-consuming and laborious.
[0059] By setting the anti-slip strip so that its top is still 0.5-2mm higher than the top of the drying rod 20 when it is folded up, this protruding height setting allows users to quickly gather clothes together when they are folding them up without affecting their ability to quickly fold them up. Users can also accurately distinguish the hanging positions, i.e., the anti-slip recesses of the anti-slip strip. When it is time to dry clothes, they can accurately hang each piece of clothing in a different anti-slip recess, preventing situations where the anti-slip strip is completely folded up inside the drying rod 20 and the user accidentally hangs two or more pieces of clothing in the same anti-slip recess.
[0060] Furthermore, the top of the anti-slip strip can be set as a wavy strip with a rounded top, that is, both the concave part and the top of the anti-slip strip are arc curves. Even when the anti-slip strip is folded up in the clothes-collecting state on the drying rod 20, the part of its top that is 0.5-2mm higher than the drying rod 20 can still allow the clothes hanger to slide smoothly on the drying rod 20 without any obstruction.
[0061] The "up and down direction" mentioned above refers to the vertical direction of the drying rod 20 (refer to...). Figure 4 That is, the anti-slip strip folds or unfolds along the height direction of the drying rod, which is also the same direction as the lifting and lowering direction of the folding component 40.
[0062] In some embodiments, the end of the drying rod 20 is provided with a through hole 202, and the timing belt 304 passes through the through hole 202 to mesh with the second gear 303.
[0063] By opening a through hole 202 at the end of the drying rod 20, the synchronous belt 304 passes through the through hole 202 and meshes with the second gear 303. Since the second gear 303 is connected to the cam 203, the drive component 101 drives the cam 203 to rotate, thereby controlling the anti-slip structure 201 to retract or unfold on the drying rod 20.
[0064] In some embodiments, a clothes drying rack is provided, including: a main unit with a power unit; and the aforementioned drying component, which is connected to the main unit via a folding component 40.
[0065] The clothes drying rack controls the folding component 40 via the main unit's power unit, which in turn controls the raising and lowering of the drying component. When a user needs to dry clothes, the folding component 40 is lowered to facilitate hanging the clothes. After the clothes are hung on the drying rod 20 of the drying component, the folding component 40 is raised to the drying position. At this time, the anti-slip structure 201 unfolds on the drying rod 20 under the action of the transmission component 30, preventing the clothes from piling up due to the wind and allowing for effective drying. When a user needs to collect the clothes, the folding component 40 is lowered, and the anti-slip structure 201 retracts into the drying rod 20 under the action of the transmission component 30, allowing the user to gather the clothes for quick and efficient collection.
