Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of clothes drying tools, and in particular to a clothes rack. Background Technology
[0002] With continuous improvements, clothes drying racks have become increasingly diverse in type. Besides traditional clothes drying racks, there are also electric clothes drying racks. However, considering that electric clothes drying racks require more frequent maintenance than traditional ones, traditional clothes drying racks still maintain a certain market share.
[0003] The applicant has developed a clothes drying rack consisting of a first drying rod and a second drying rod. The first drying rod suspends the second drying rod via a hanging bar. To facilitate storage of the second drying rod when not in use, a support structure is provided on the first drying rod. A clothes support rod can be used to raise the second drying rod to the height of the first drying rod, and then it can be placed on the support structure for storage. However, when the hanging bar is folded in half, its middle section hangs below both the first and second drying rods under its own weight, thus occupying space and resulting in poor storage efficiency of the clothes drying rack. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a clothes drying rack in which the hanging strip occupies less space below the clothes drying rack after being stored, thus making its storage effect better.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A clothes drying rack, comprising:
[0007] A support structure, which is installed on the wall and has a supporting structure;
[0008] A height-adjustable drying structure, which is used for hanging clothes or drying racks;
[0009] The hanging strip has its upper end connected to the supporting structure for support; and its lower end connected to the height-adjustable drying structure for support.
[0010] The supporting structure is used to support the liftable drying structure after it has been raised to a higher height.
[0011] An elastic telescopic strip is provided, which surrounds the extension trajectory of the hanging strip. The upper end of the elastic telescopic strip is connected to the supporting structure, and the lower end of the elastic telescopic strip is connected to the liftable drying structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the elastic telescopic strip is arranged around the periphery of the suspension strip.
[0013] Furthermore, the elastic telescopic strip is a telescopic spring.
[0014] Furthermore, the suspension strip includes multiple ring-shaped buckles, which are sequentially fastened together end to end.
[0015] Furthermore, the support structure also has a support body, and the top end of the suspension bar is connected to the support body so as to be supported by the support body.
[0016] Furthermore, the supporting body is a first drying rod, which extends horizontally.
[0017] Furthermore, the first drying rod has a plurality of first hanging holes, which are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the first drying rod.
[0018] Furthermore, the support structure also has multiple vertical support rods, the top of each vertical support rod is connected to a wall mounting base for connecting to the wall, and the bottom of the vertical support rod is connected to the support body; the supporting structure includes at least two support blocks, the support blocks extend in the horizontal direction, the mounting end of the support block is sleeved on one of the vertical support rods, and the support blocks are used to support the liftable drying structure.
[0019] Furthermore, the support structure also has a support body for drying clothes; the supporting structure is connected to the support body, and the top end of the hanging strip is connected to the supporting structure so as to be supported by the supporting structure.
[0020] Furthermore, the liftable drying structure is a second drying rod, which extends horizontally and has multiple second hanging holes, which are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the second drying rod.
[0021] Furthermore, the suspension bar is provided with at least two bars, which are respectively connected to the horizontal ends of the support structure.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0023] Since the elastic telescopic strip is set around the extension trajectory of the hanging strip, it is possible that the elastic telescopic strip surrounds the hanging strip, or the hanging strip surrounds the elastic telescopic strip. After the height-adjustable drying structure is supported by the supporting structure, the elastic telescopic strip is no longer affected by the weight of the height-adjustable drying structure and the load of clothes, etc. This causes the elastic telescopic strip to contract under its own elasticity, thereby forcing the hanging strip to also contract, reducing the length of the hanging strip when it hangs freely. This prevents the middle part of the hanging strip from occupying too much space under the supporting structure, thus improving the storage efficiency of the clothes rack. Attached Figure Description

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0031] First embodiment:
[0032] See Figures 1-3 A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a clothes drying rack comprising: a support structure 1, a height-adjustable drying structure 2, a hanging strip 3, and an elastic telescopic strip 4.
[0033] Support structure 1 is installed on the wall and can be fixed to the ceiling or side wall using expansion screws or glue. Support structure 1 has a supporting structure 11, which can be a regular beam, but preferably has a certain horizontal inclination so that the liftable drying structure 2 placed on the beam needs to climb uphill to detach; the supporting structure 11 can also be a receiving groove structure, etc.
[0034] The height-adjustable drying structure 2 is used for hanging clothes or drying racks. The height-adjustable drying structure 2 can be a manually operated structure, such as being supported by a clothes support rod, or driven by an electric lifting device.
[0035] The upper end of the hanging strip 3 is connected to the supporting structure 1 (the connection method can be hinged, fixed, etc.) to be supported by the supporting structure 1. The lower end of the hanging strip 3 is connected to the height-adjustable drying structure 2 (the connection method can be hinged, fixed, etc.) to support the height-adjustable drying structure 2. The hanging strip 3 can be a telescopic rod structure, a chain structure, or an ordinary rope.
[0036] The supporting structure 11 is used to support the adjustable drying structure 2 after it is raised, so that the clothes rack is in the storage state.
[0037] The elastic telescopic strip 4 extends along the extension trajectory of the suspension strip 3. The upper end of the elastic telescopic strip 4 is connected to the support structure 1, and the lower end of the elastic telescopic strip 4 is connected to the liftable drying structure 2.
[0038] Specifically, the clothes rack has a working state and a retracted state. When the clothes rack is in the extended state, the height-adjustable drying structure 2 is located below the support structure 1 and is suspended by the hanging strip 3. When the clothes rack is in the retracted state, the height-adjustable drying structure 2 is at the same height as the support structure 1 and is supported by the support structure 11. Since the elastic telescopic strip 4 surrounds the extension trajectory of the hanging strip 3 (either the elastic telescopic strip 4 surrounds the hanging strip 3 or the hanging strip 3 surrounds the elastic telescopic strip 4), after the height-adjustable drying structure 2 is supported by the support structure 11, the elastic telescopic strip 4 is no longer affected by the weight of the height-adjustable drying structure 2 and the load of clothes, causing the elastic telescopic strip 4 to contract under its own elasticity. This forces the hanging strip 3 to also contract, reducing the length of the hanging strip 3 in its free-hanging state. This prevents the middle part of the hanging strip 3 from occupying too much space under the support structure 1, thereby improving the storage efficiency of the clothes rack.
[0039] Preferably, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 To ensure that the elastic telescopic bar 4 reliably drives the suspension bar 3 to retract, the elastic telescopic bar 4 is arranged around the periphery of the suspension bar 3. With this arrangement, because the length of the elastic telescopic bar 4 is shortened, a significant degree of retraction will occur regardless of the material of the suspension bar 3. For example, the suspension bar 3 could be made of hemp rope, metal chain, steel wire rope, etc., all of which can retract well. In other embodiments, when the suspension bar is a hemp rope sleeve structure, the elastic telescopic bar 4 can be housed inside the hemp rope sleeve structure, and can also force the hemp rope sleeve structure to shorten its length after the elastic telescopic bar 4 shortens.
[0040] Preferably, the elastic telescopic strip 4 is a telescopic spring. It is understood that using a traditional spiral structure made of metal allows the elastic telescopic strip 4 to have a longer service life and maintain its elasticity for a longer period. Furthermore, since the elastic telescopic strip 4 (in this case, the elastic telescopic strip 4 is the telescopic spring) surrounds the suspension strip 3, the telescopic spring does not obstruct the suspension strip 3, making the process of threading the suspension strip 3 through the telescopic spring transparent, simple, and efficient.
[0041] Preferably, the hanging strip 3 includes multiple ring buckles 31, which are sequentially fastened end to end. It can be understood that the hanging strip 3 in this case is a traditional ring-buckle chain. Based on the sequential fastening of the multiple ring buckles 31, under the elastic contraction force of the elastic telescopic strip 4, when the hanging strip 3 shortens in length, adjacent ring buckles 31 overlap, thereby significantly shortening the length of the hanging strip 3. This results in only a small portion of the hanging strip 3 hanging below the support structure 1, further improving the efficiency of the clothes rack after storage.
[0042] Preferably, the support structure 1 further includes a support body 12, with the top end of the hanging strip 3 connected to the support body 12 for support. It is understood that the hanging strip 3 is always connected to the support body 12, for example, by a fixed connection or hinge. The advantage of this arrangement is that the support body 12 can serve as an additional drying structure, thereby expanding the drying space and capacity of the clothes rack. Alternatively, if the support body 12 is not provided, the hanging strip 3 can be fixedly connected to or hinged to the support structure 11. It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the support body 12 is connected to the support structure 11, while in other embodiments, the support body 12 and the support structure 11 can be separately formed and independently installed on the wall, i.e., they are two components and are not connected.
[0043] To provide the support structure 1 with ample drying space, preferably, the support body 12 is a first drying rod that extends horizontally. It is understood that, as an alternative configuration, the support structure 1 could also consist of two independent support bases, in which case the support structure 1 may not have a drying function.
[0044] Preferably, in order to further enrich the drying function, the first drying rod is provided with a plurality of first hanging holes 13, and the plurality of first hanging holes 13 are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the first drying rod.
[0045] To maintain a certain distance between the support body 12 and the ceiling, thereby optimizing the drying space of the support body 12, preferably, the support structure 1 also has multiple vertical support rods 14. The top of each vertical support rod 14 is connected to a wall mounting bracket 15 for connecting to the wall. The mounting bracket is fixed to the wall of the ceiling by expansion screws or glue. The bottom of the vertical support rod 14 is connected to the support body 12, and the connection method is a fixed connection or hinged connection, etc. The supporting structure 11 includes at least two support blocks 111, which extend horizontally. The mounting end of the support block 111 is sleeved on one of the vertical support rods 14. The support block 111 is used to support the liftable drying structure 2.
[0046] Preferably, to facilitate manual lifting of the liftable drying structure 2 using a clothes support rod, the liftable drying structure 2 is a second drying rod that extends horizontally and has multiple second hanging holes 21 spaced apart along its extension direction. This arrangement not only makes the liftable drying structure 2 easy to operate with the clothes support rod but also provides it with a larger drying space.
[0047] Preferably, in order to better maintain the balance of the second drying rod, at least two hanging bars 3 are provided, and the two hanging bars 3 are respectively connected to the horizontal ends of the support structure 1. It can be understood that, as an alternative arrangement, the liftable drying structure 2 can be a clothes drying tray structure, in which case only one hanging bar 3 is needed to maintain the balance of the liftable drying structure 2 during the lifting process.
[0048] Second embodiment:
[0049] The second embodiment of this utility model includes the first embodiment, but differs from the first embodiment in that:
[0050] Preferably, the support structure 1 further includes a support body 12 for drying clothes; a supporting structure 11 is connected to the support body 12, and the top end of the hanging strip 3 is connected to the supporting structure 11 for support. In this case, although the support body 12 serves the function of drying clothes, the supporting force on the hanging strip 3 comes from the supporting structure 11, which also supports the liftable drying structure 2 to prevent it from falling after being raised, thus ensuring the clothes rack is in a retracted state.
