DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clearly, the utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with embodiments and drawings. Herein, the illustrative embodiments and the description thereof of the utility model are used to explain the utility model, but not as a limitation to the utility model.
[0040] Please refer to the attached Figures 1 to 8 , wherein Figure 1 A foldable travel shoe airing rack is shown, which is designed ingeniously, convenient to carry and use. The airing rack comprises a support 1, a hanging assembly and a pair of airing assemblies 4. The support 1 is a plate structure, and recesses 12 are symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the support 1. The front and rear side plates of the recesses 12 are provided with through shaft holes 13, which provide a basis for the subsequent hinged installation of the airing assemblies 4. A first through hole 11 is formed in the middle of the support 1, and the hanging assembly is movably arranged in the first through hole 11. Meanwhile, a height limiting mechanism 6 is arranged on the front side wall of the support 1, which can lock and limit the hanging assembly movably arranged in the first through hole 11, so as to ensure that the hanging assembly can be stably arranged at a suitable height during use, and meet the hanging requirements in different scenes. The airing assemblies 4 are hingedly connected to the recesses 12 at the left and right ends of the support 1, and are flexibly hinged to the support 1 by means of the shaft holes 13 on the front and rear side plates of the recesses 12. In addition, a pair of limiting members are arranged on the support 1. When the airing assemblies 4 are turned up to the use state, the limiting members can effectively limit the airing assemblies 4, so as to prevent the airing assemblies 4 from shaking or falling over during use, and ensure the stability of the airing process.
[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, the hanging assembly comprises a hanging rod 31 and a hook 34. The hook 34 is arranged at the top of the hanging rod 31, and the hook-shaped design can easily hook on various supports such as horizontal rods, clothes rack rods and the like, so as to conveniently and quickly hang and fix the airing rack in different scenes, and adapt to various travel or home airing environments. The hanging rod 31 is a core supporting component of the hanging assembly, and has an elongated rod structure. A tail plate 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the hanging rod 31. The tail plate 32 is symmetrically installed with a top plate 33 arranged at the top of the hanging rod 31. The tail plate 32 and the top plate 33 limit the stroke of the hanging rod 31 sliding up and down in the first through hole 11.
[0042] As Figure 3 shown, a support seat 2 for assisting the support of the hanging rod 31 is arranged at the top center of the support 1. The support seat 2 has a stable C-shaped structure, and a second through hole 21 with a size accurately matching the hanging rod 31 is formed in the center of the support seat 2. The second through hole 21 ensures the flexibility of the hanging rod 31 sliding freely in the vertical direction, and also restricts the hanging rod 31 by the inner wall of the second through hole 21, so as to play a dual role of horizontal limiting and auxiliary support.
[0043] Specifically, asFigure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown in FIGS. 1-2, when the hanging rod 31 slides downward, the top plate 33 will abut against the top of the support seat 2 after reaching a certain height, preventing it from continuing to move downward, thereby defining the lowest position of the hanging rod 31. When the hanging rod 31 slides upward, the tail plate 32 will also contact the bottom of the support seat 1 when it slides to a certain position, limiting its further upward movement, ensuring that the hanging rod 31 will not exceed the highest position. This two-way limiting design makes the sliding of the hanging rod 31 in the first through hole 11 always within a safe and controllable range.
[0044] In the embodiment of the utility model, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 8 The drying assembly 4 includes a pair of rotating shafts 44, a drying support 41 and a shoe stretcher 42. The rotating shafts 44, as the rotating core, are symmetrically embedded in the corresponding shaft holes 13 in the grooves 12, forming a double-pivot rotating pair. The end of the drying support 41 is press-fitted with the rotating shaft 44, forming an integrated rotating structure, so that the drying support 41 can be flipped around the axis of the rotating shaft 44 by 0°-136°. The guide protruding rod 43 is arranged on the front side plate of the drying support 41, and the drying support 41 is also provided with a locking groove 411 for locking connection of the limiting piece, which is located at the middle of the connecting line of the guide protruding rod 43 and the rotating shaft 44. An oval shoe stretcher 42 is arranged on the top of the drying support 41, which is matched with the arch part of the shoe body. The surface of the shoe stretcher 42 is covered with a silica gel anti-skid layer, and the oval contour is optimized by ergonomic modeling, with a major axis / minor axis ratio of 3:1.2, which is suitable for 36-44 size shoes. A plurality of air permeable holes 421 are arranged on the shoe stretcher 42 in the thickness direction, which can form an air convection channel when the shoes are drying, accelerate the air flow with the insole, and further shorten the drying time in the shoes.
[0045] Further, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 4 The limiting piece is a knurled screw 5.
[0046] The locking groove 411 is provided with a 20° chamfered guide surface at the entrance, and the head of the knurled screw 5 is provided with double anti-skid patterns (diamond pattern + straight pattern composite), so that the manual operation torque requirement is reduced to 1.0 N·m. The vibration test (frequency 10-55 Hz, amplitude 2 mm) shows that the screw loosening probability is 0.01%.
[0047] In use, as shown in Figure 1 The front side wall of the support seat 1 is provided with a second positioning hole 15, and when the drying support 41 is flipped up to the limit position, the top thereof abuts against the limiting wall 121 of the groove 12. At this time, the locking groove 411 is accurately aligned with the second positioning hole 15, and the knurled screw 5 is screwed into the locking groove 411 after passing through the second positioning hole 15, and the fine thread of the locking groove 411 forms self-locking engagement, limiting the flipped drying support 41.
[0048] As Figure 2 , Figure 6 shown, the front side wall of the support 1 is also provided with an arc-shaped guide channel 16, which is in communication with the groove 12. When the drying support 41 is retracted, the guide protruding rod 43 slides along the arc-shaped guide channel 16, so that the drying support 41 finally fits with a 0.3mm gap on the front side wall of the support 1.
[0049] In an embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the front side wall of the support 1 is provided with a first positioning hole 14. When the drying support 41 is retracted downward to the limit position, the locking groove 411 is accurately aligned with the first positioning hole 14 at this time. The knurled screw 5 is screwed into the locking groove 411 after passing through the first positioning hole 14, and forms self-locking engagement with the fine thread of the locking groove 411, so as to limit the folded drying support 41.
[0050] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the front wall of the hanging rod 31 is uniformly provided with a plurality of rectangular clamping grooves 35, which form mechanical self-locking with the limiting block 65 of the height limiting mechanism 6, so as to limit the up and down stroke of the hanging rod 31.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the height limiting mechanism 6 further comprises a mounting bracket 61, a rotating disc 63 and a moving plate 65. The mounting bracket 61 provided on the front side wall of the support 1 is provided with a mounting groove 611 which does not penetrate through the top. The two side walls of the mounting groove 611 form a sliding pair with the moving plate 65, preventing the moving plate 65 from tilting, and improving the transmission accuracy. The handle 62 is rigidly connected with the rotating disc 63 through a deep groove ball bearing on the mounting bracket 61. The head of the handle 62 is provided with an anti-slip knurled pattern, so as to have the effect of preventing the handle 62 from being pulled off. The handle 62 is circular, which conforms to the ergonomic curved surface design, improving the comfort of holding. The rotating rod 64 is integrally formed with the rotating disc 63. The cylindrical end face of the protruding shaft 641 provided on the rotating rod 64 forms a sliding pair with the guide groove 651 provided on the moving plate 65. The head of the clamping rod 66 is a trapezoidal wedge surface with a wedge angle of 25°. A pair of compression springs 67 are symmetrically arranged between the inner wall of the mounting groove 611 and the moving plate 65, which can provide a continuous restoring force, and ensure that the clamping rod 66 forms mechanical self-locking with the clamping groove 35 of the hanging rod 31 when there is no external force.
[0052] The folded and retracted drying assembly 4 and the hanging rod 3 which is moved downward to the lowest position make the volume of the shoe drying rack reduced by 45% compared with the drying use. The reduced storage volume can be inserted into the 18-inch luggage compartment, meeting the needs of travel, outdoor camping and other scenes.
[0053] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
