[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a clothes drying rack, including a clothes drying rack body 7, an air duct assembly 2, a drive assembly 4, and a movable component 1; the clothes drying rack body 7 has a receiving cavity and an air inlet 71 and an air outlet 72 communicating with the receiving cavity; the air duct assembly 2 is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the air inlet end 21 of the air duct assembly 2 is correspondingly connected to the air inlet 71; the air outlet end 22 of the air duct assembly 2 is correspondingly connected to the air outlet 72; the drive assembly 4 is disposed in the clothes drying rack body 7; the movable component 1 is movably disposed in the clothes drying rack body 7 and connected to the output end of the drive assembly 4; wherein, the drive assembly 4 drives the movable component 1 to move, so as to open or close the air outlet 72.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the clothes drying rack body 7 has a receiving cavity, which not only provides installation space for other components but also has an air inlet 71 and an air outlet 72 connected to it. The air inlet 71 is responsible for introducing external air into the clothes drying rack body 7; while the air outlet 72 exhausts the treated air to the external environment. The air duct assembly 2 is set in the receiving cavity, ensuring smooth communication between its air inlet end 21 and the air inlet 71. Similarly, the air outlet end 22 of the air duct assembly 2 is also tightly connected to the air outlet 72, ensuring efficient air circulation. The drive assembly 4 is installed on the clothes drying rack body 7 and is responsible for providing power. The moving part 1 is installed on the clothes drying rack body 7 and connected to the output end of the drive assembly 4, so that the drive assembly 4 can control the movement of the moving part 1 to open and close the air outlet 72. When the drive component 4 is started, the moving part 1 will move accordingly, opening or closing the air outlet 72 as needed, so as to expose or hide the air outlet 22, ensuring that the clothes can be properly dried, while also allowing the air outlet 22 to be exposed when in use and hidden when not in use, without affecting the overall appearance of the machine.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive assembly 4 includes a motor 41, a gear 42, and a rack 43; the motor 41 is disposed within the receiving cavity; the gear 42 is connected to the output end of the motor 41; the rack 43 meshes with the gear 42; and the rack 43 is connected to the moving member 1. Preferably, the motor 41 can be a stepper motor 41, which is disposed within the receiving cavity via a motor frame 44.

[0039] In other embodiments, to further enhance the drying capacity of the air duct assembly 2, a heating device is added near the air duct assembly 2 within the receiving cavity, enabling the air duct assembly to generate hot air and effectively achieve the drying function. Further, when the user needs to use the drying function, the drying is activated. The stepper motor 41 drives the gear 42 to rotate, and the gear 42 meshes with the rack 43, causing the rack 43 to move. The rack 43 then moves the moving part 1 to the middle position and stops, fully exposing the air outlet 22. At this point, the drying function is executed. After drying is complete, the fan is turned off, and the moving part 1 is reset under the drive of the stepper motor 41, achieving a concealed effect.

[0040] In other embodiments, the moving part 1 can be rotated by the drive assembly 4 to open or close the air outlet 72, thus exposing or concealing the air outlet 72. Specifically, the rotating shaft is mounted on the clothes dryer body 7 via bearings, and the moving part 1 can be fixed to the rotating shaft. The motor 41 in the drive assembly 4 can transmit rotational motion to the moving part 1 through a transmission mechanism (such as a gear set, worm gear, or linkage mechanism). Specifically, the output shaft of the motor 41 can be connected to a worm, which meshes with a worm wheel, and the worm wheel is connected to the moving part 1 via the rotating shaft. When the motor 41 rotates, the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate, and in turn driving the moving part 1 to rotate. When the moving part 1 rotates to a certain position, the air outlet 72 is fully exposed, and the airflow of the air duct assembly 2 can be discharged through the air outlet 72, realizing the drying function of the clothes dryer. When the movable part 1 rotates to another position, that is, returns to its original position, the air outlet 72 is completely covered by the movable part 1, and the air outlet 22 is hidden. The clothes drying rack maintains a clean appearance and prevents dust or foreign objects from entering the air duct assembly 2.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device also includes a slide rail 33 located on the main body 7 of the clothes drying rack, with the moving part 1 slidingly engaged with the slide rail 33. The slide rail 33 primarily guides and limits the moving part 1, preventing it from shifting or jamming during sliding and ensuring smooth movement. Specifically, the stepper motor 41 drives the gear 42 to rotate, and the gear 42 drives the moving part 1 to slide and translate along the slide rail 33, thus making the movement of the moving part 1 more stable.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the slide rail 33 has a groove, and at least one end of the moving member 1 has a protrusion that matches the groove; the protrusion is movably inserted into the groove; wherein, the driving assembly 4 drives the moving member 1 to translate along the groove. Preferably, the slide rail 33 can be a square slide rail or an arc-shaped slide rail, and the protrusion is designed with a corresponding shape according to the shape of the slide rail 33 to ensure a good fit between the two. Specifically, when the slide rail 33 is a square slide rail, the protrusion can be designed as a strip-shaped protrusion to fit tightly with the square groove; while when the slide rail 33 is an arc-shaped slide rail, the protrusion can be designed as an arc-shaped protrusion to adapt to the contour of the arc-shaped groove. Through the cooperation between the protrusion and the slide rail 33, the moving member 1 can achieve smoother and more stable movement when sliding on the slide rail 33, thereby effectively operating the opening or closing of the air outlet 22.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the clothes drying rack body 7 includes a top wall and a peripheral wall, which together form the receiving cavity. This compact structure makes full use of the internal space. The receiving cavity has an open structure at the air outlet 72. The movable component 1 is movably disposed at the open end of the receiving cavity to open or close it. The top wall has the air inlet 71. The air inlet 71 and air inlet end 21 are located on the top wall, while the air outlet 72 and air outlet end 22 correspond to the open structure. Air enters from the top wall, passes through the air duct assembly 2, and exits from the open end, forming a smooth airflow path. Furthermore, the cooperation between the movable component 1 and the decorative cover plate 5 creates a sealed space within the receiving cavity, allowing the air outlet end 22 to be completely covered when the clothes drying rack is closed. This prevents dust or foreign objects from entering the receiving cavity, keeping the interior clean and extending the equipment's lifespan. Additionally, the sliding cooperation between the movable component 1 and the slide rail 33 allows the air outlet end 22 to be opened when the clothes drying rack is in the drying state, thereby improving drying efficiency. It should be noted that users can adjust the opening size of the air outlet 72 and the air outlet 22 by adjusting the specific position of the moving part 1 sliding along the slide rail 33 as needed, thereby controlling the air volume, which can dry clothes quickly and avoid excessive energy consumption.

[0044] In other embodiments, the clothes drying rack body 7 includes a top wall, a peripheral wall, and a bottom wall, which together form a receiving cavity. The top wall has an air inlet 71 for external air to enter the air duct assembly 2. The peripheral wall is vertically connected between the top and bottom walls and surrounds the receiving cavity. The bottom wall is connected to the peripheral wall, and one or more air outlets 72 are formed between the bottom and peripheral walls. A movable component 1 is movably disposed at the air outlet 72 to open or close the air outlet 72. Specifically, the movable component 1 can cover or open the air outlet 72 by translation or rotation via the driving assembly 4, thereby closing or opening the air outlet 22.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the air duct assembly 2 has multiple air outlets 22; preferably, a single air duct assembly 2 can be equipped with multiple air outlets 22, or multiple independent air duct assemblies 2, each equipped with multiple air outlets 22; the number of moving parts 1 is multiple, each moving part 1 corresponding to one air outlet 22, which can cover a larger drying area, making the drying function more precise and efficient. Furthermore, the user can selectively activate one or more moving parts 1 according to actual needs. In this way, the user can control whether only one air outlet 22 is activated or multiple air outlets 22 are activated simultaneously, thus meeting drying requirements and avoiding unnecessary energy waste.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, there are two air outlets 22, which are arranged opposite each other near the peripheral wall to form a symmetrical airflow distribution and improve the drying effect. There are two moving parts 1 and two driving components 4, each driving component 4 connected to one moving part 1. The two driving components 4 drive the two moving parts 1 to move closer or further apart, thereby opening or closing the two air outlets 22 respectively. Specifically, each air outlet 22 is controlled by a corresponding driving component 4 and moving part 1, allowing for the opening or closing of one side of the air outlet 22. In addition to the two driving components 4 driving the two moving parts 1 closer or further apart, the operating load is shared. When there are few clothes, only one side of the air outlet 22 can be opened, or the opening size of both air outlets 22 can be adjusted by moving the moving parts 1 closer or further apart, flexibly adjusting the airflow on both sides, avoiding resource waste, and improving drying efficiency. Furthermore, if one of the drive components 4, moving parts 1, or air duct components 2 malfunctions, the other side can still function normally. At the same time, maintenance only requires addressing the specific component, reducing maintenance costs.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device also includes a decorative cover plate 5, which is located at the open end of the receiving cavity. The movable component 1 is located on the side of the decorative cover plate 5 facing the receiving cavity. A gap exists between the two movable components 1, and the decorative cover plate 5 covers this gap. Specifically, when the two driving components 4 drive the two movable components 1 to move closer together and then stop, the two movable components 1 are arranged side-by-side or overlapping. The decorative cover plate 5 covers the two movable components 1, opening the air outlet 22 and activating the drying function. When the two driving components 4 drive the two movable components 1 to move further apart to the initial closed state, the two movable components 1 are arranged with a gap. The decorative cover plate 5 covers this gap, forming a sealed space. This allows the clothes dryer to cover the closed air outlet 22 when it is in the closed state, preventing dust or foreign objects from entering the receiving cavity, keeping the interior clean, and extending the device's lifespan. Furthermore, the decorative cover plate 5 prevents users from accidentally touching the air outlet 22 in daily life, reducing safety hazards. Therefore, the decorative cover plate 5 not only beautifies the appearance, but also serves as a reference position for the movement and reset of the movable part 1, ensuring that the movement of the movable part 1 is accurate.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the movable component 1 is equipped with a light panel; or, the movable component 1 is a light panel; wherein the light panel enables the clothes dryer to provide lighting while drying clothes, eliminating the need for additional lighting equipment, saving installation space, and making the overall structure of the clothes dryer more compact. Preferably, the movable component 1 and the light panel can be independent structures or integrated structures. Independent structures facilitate maintenance and replacement, reducing maintenance costs; integrated structures simplify the assembly process and improve production efficiency. Furthermore, when the movable component 1 is reset and retracted, i.e., when it seals the clothes dryer body 7 together with the decorative cover plate 5, the entire clothes dryer resembles an integrated decorative light panel installed under the ceiling. Therefore, the clothes dryer of this application has the advantages of good overall integrity after recycling, high aesthetic appeal, and high integration with home decoration.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the clothes drying rack body 7 has end covers 6 at both ends; the end covers 6 are used to connect the clothes drying rod; wherein, the end covers 6 isolate the internal components from the external environment, and play a certain sealing role for the clothes drying rack body 7, which can effectively reduce the entry of dust and foreign objects into the clothes drying rack body 7, providing a certain degree of protection for the clothes drying rack body 7 and extending the service life of the equipment. In addition, the end covers 6, as connectors, fix the clothes drying rod to the clothes drying rack body 7 together, enhance the stability of the overall structure, prevent the clothes drying rod from shaking or falling off, and improve the safety of use.

[0050] Furthermore, to further enhance the drying capacity of the air duct assembly 2, the clothes dryer may also include a drying function; specifically, the clothes dryer further includes an electric heating device, preferably a PTC heater; the electric heating device is disposed within the receiving cavity and corresponding to the air outlet 72, for heating the air flowing through the air outlet 72, thereby effectively achieving the drying function. Preferably, the electric heating device can be fixed to the inner wall of the air duct assembly 2 or the air guide structure of the air outlet 72 to ensure uniform hot air delivery and improve drying efficiency. To further elaborate, when the hot air mode is activated and the drying process is turned on, the stepper motor 41 drives the gear 42 to rotate. The gear 42 meshes with the rack 43, which in turn moves the rack 43, causing the moving part 1 to move to the middle position and stop, fully exposing the air outlet 22 and maximizing the air outlet area of ​​the clothes dryer. Simultaneously, the electric heating device heats the air flowing through the air duct assembly 2, and the hot air is blown from the air outlet 72 onto the clothes, accelerating moisture evaporation. After drying is complete, the fan is turned off, and the stepper motor 41 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the moving part 1 to return to the closed position, concealing the air outlet 72 for a hidden effect. Optionally, the clothes dryer body 7 can be equipped with a temperature control module to prevent overheating. Furthermore, a temperature sensor is installed inside the receiving cavity. The temperature sensor is connected to the control module to adjust the heating power, thereby achieving real-time monitoring of the air temperature. When the temperature sensor detects that the air temperature is too high, the control module automatically reduces the heating power or turns off the electric heating device to prevent overheating.
