Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothes drying rack technology, specifically a foldable multi-functional clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] A clothes rack is a rack placed on a balcony, commonly used for drying and hanging clothes. As a household item used daily, it has now become a necessity for many families.

[0003] Currently, to save space on balconies, folding clothes racks installed on the wall are generally used. These include a clothes drying rod, support plates fixed to both ends of the clothes drying rod, and a fixing plate hinged to the support plates and fixed to the wall. When in use, clothes can be hung on the clothes drying rod by rotating the support plate from a vertical position to a horizontal position. When storing, the clothes drying rod can be stored by rotating the support plate from a horizontal position to a vertical position.

[0004] While existing wall-mounted folding clothes racks utilize a hinged structure between the support and fixing plates to achieve folding and unfolding, effectively saving balcony space and providing convenience for users, these racks typically only come with one drying rod, resulting in relatively limited drying space. With the increasing demand for clothing drying in modern households, especially during humid or rainy seasons, a single drying rod often struggles to meet the needs of drying large quantities of clothing.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a foldable multi-functional clothes rack to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a foldable multi-functional clothes drying rack, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, where existing clothes drying racks are usually equipped with only one clothesline, resulting in relatively limited drying space. With the increasing demand for clothing drying in modern households, especially during humid or rainy seasons, a single clothesline often cannot meet the drying needs of a large number of clothes.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a foldable multi-functional clothes rack, comprising a first clothes drying rod, support plates symmetrically rotated at both ends of the first clothes drying rod, and a fixed plate hinged to the end of the support plates away from the first clothes drying rod; the support plates are provided with an extension structure, the extension structure including a second clothes drying rod disposed at the end of the support plate away from the fixed plate, and an extension plate slidably inserted into the end of the support plate away from the fixed plate, the end of the second clothes drying rod being rotatably inserted into the end of the extension plate away from the support plate. When the clothes rack is not in use, the support plate can be rotated counterclockwise around the fixed plate to a vertical position, and the extension plate retracts into the support plate, achieving compact folding and storage, saving space. When clothes need to be dried, first rotate the support plate clockwise to a horizontal position, then pull the second clothes drying rod outward, causing the extension plate to slide on the support plate until the second clothes drying rod reaches the desired position. At this time, the first and second clothes drying rods together form a spacious drying area, meeting different drying needs, with a simple structure and convenient operation.

[0008] Preferably, to facilitate locking the position of the extension plate: a locking screw is threaded into the end of the support plate away from the fixed plate, and the end of the locking screw abuts against the extension plate. The locking screw can fix the adjusted position of the extension plate, ensuring the stability of the extension structure's position.

[0009] Preferably, to prevent the extension plate from moving out of the support plate, a limiting transverse groove is formed at the upper end of the extension plate, and the end of the locking screw extends into the limiting transverse groove. The cooperation between the limiting transverse groove and the locking screw can limit the distance the extension plate can move on the support plate, thus preventing the extension plate from moving out of the support plate.

[0010] Preferably, to ensure the stability of the clothes rack in use: a reinforcing rib is hinged to the end of the support plate away from the fixed plate, and a U-shaped locking plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate for engaging with the end of the reinforcing rib. The reinforcing rib, fixed plate, and support plate form a triangular support for the clothes rack, ensuring the stability of the support plate's position.

[0011] Preferably, to facilitate folding of the support plate: the fixing plate has an arc-shaped groove for guiding the support plate to a horizontal or vertical position. When the support plate rotates from a horizontal to a vertical position, the clothes rack is in a folded and stored state; when the support plate rotates from a vertical to a horizontal position, the clothes rack is in use.

[0012] Preferably, to facilitate fixing the fixing plate to the wall, the fixing plate has several through holes for bolt insertion. These through holes allow for easy bolt insertion, facilitating the fixing of the plate to a designated position on the wall and ensuring the stability of the clothes rack during use.

[0013] Preferably, to facilitate spaced drying of clothes, both the first and second clotheslines are fixedly connected to protruding plates, each with several spacing grooves. The spacing grooves allow for even distribution of clothing, maximizing the use of drying space and improving drying efficiency.

[0014] Preferably, to facilitate drying objects that are difficult to clamp, a nylon mesh is fixedly connected between the two support plates. The nylon mesh design allows the clothes rack to be used for a wider variety of items, especially soft items that are difficult to clamp, thus greatly expanding the application scenarios of the clothes rack.

[0015] This application utilizes an extended structural design to significantly increase drying capacity without adding extra space, making it suitable for balconies of various apartment layouts. In use, simply rotating the support plate and pulling the second clothesline to adjust the spacing completes the unfolding and spatial adjustment of the clothes rack, offering convenient operation and a superior user experience.

[0016] This application utilizes a spacer design to evenly distribute clothes, maximizing drying space and improving efficiency. Spaced drying avoids direct contact and friction between clothes, effectively protecting their texture and color, and extending their lifespan. The spaced clothes also appear neater and more organized, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the balcony and reflecting the user's pursuit of a high quality of life.

[0017] This application utilizes a nylon mesh design to make the clothes rack suitable for a wider variety of items, especially soft items that are difficult to hold with clips, thus greatly expanding the application scenarios of the clothes rack. The soft texture and good breathability of the nylon mesh effectively prevent damage to items during the drying process, while ensuring that items receive even and sufficient sunlight, accelerating the drying speed.
