[0002] With the development of smart homes, the level of intelligence is increasing, and they are becoming easier for people to use, thus becoming more integrated with people's lifestyles.

[0003] For example, an electric lifting clothes rack can be installed inside the wardrobe (8) to facilitate the hanging and retrieval of clothes. However, the electric lifting clothes racks currently on the market have the following problems:

[0004] ① Generally, the clothes rack is controlled by voice, touch or remote control. In actual use, there is a risk that the hanging rod will fall and hit the door before the cabinet door is opened, which will cause damage to the clothes rack.

[0005] ② Electric lifting clothes racks generally use dual-sided motors for operation. When running synchronously, the power cord needs to be passed through the opening in the cabinet to the outside of the cabinet for further connection, which makes installation inconvenient and very unfriendly to those who want to install electric clothes racks in existing cabinets. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides an electric lifting clothes rack.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an electric lifting clothes rack, including two swing rods, a hanging rod connecting one end of the two swing rods, two bases that can be installed on the two side walls inside the wardrobe (8) and a driving device installed in the base. The end of the swing rod away from the hanging rod passes through the arc-shaped clearance hole on the base and is hinged to the base. The driving device can drive the swing rod to swing along the arc-shaped clearance hole. At least one of the swing rods and the hanging rod is equipped with a distance sensor. The distance sensor and the driving device are electrically connected or wirelessly connected to the control circuit board in the base.

[0008] As a further embodiment, at least one of the swing rods is a hollow structure, the distance sensor is installed inside the swing rod, and a notch is provided on the side wall of the swing rod near the distance sensor.

[0009] As a further embodiment, a decorative element is provided at the connection between the two swing rods and the hanging rod. The decorative element is a hollow structure with two sockets, and one end of the hanging rod and one end of the swing rod are respectively inserted into the two sockets of the same decorative element.

[0010] As a further embodiment, the distance sensor is mounted at the end of the swing arm, the decorative piece can cover the distance sensor, and a through hole is provided on the side wall of the decorative piece near the distance sensor.

[0011] As a further embodiment, both swing arms are connected to the hanging rod by fastening bolts. The fastening bolts can pass through the swing arms and be screwed to the end of the hanging rod. The decorative part has an opening to accommodate the fastening bolts, and a plug is provided at the opening.

[0012] As a further embodiment, both the hanging rod and the two swing rods are hollow structures with both ends penetrating through;

[0013] The control circuit board is installed in one of the bases, and the electrical connection wires of the drive device in the other base pass through the swing arm, the hanging arm and the swing arm in sequence and are electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0014] As a further embodiment, the driving device is an electric actuator. The end of the swing arm away from the hanging rod passes through the arc-shaped clearance hole on the base and is hinged to the rotating shaft inside the base.

The end of the push rod of the electric actuator is hinged to the extension. The ear plate on the bottom of the electric actuator has a mounting hole. The ear plate is fitted into the support column inside the base through the mounting hole.

[0015] One of the beneficial effects of this utility model is as follows:

[0016] 1. When the cabinet door is not open, when the drive device drives the swing arm to swing along the arc-shaped clearance hole and lowers the hanging rod, the connection between the swing arm and the hanging rod or the hanging rod is the first to approach the cabinet door. After receiving the signal, the distance sensor will first detect the front of the movement. If a cabinet door (faulty object) is detected, the hanging rod will not continue to lower, preventing the hanging rod from hitting the cabinet door. This provides active anti-collision protection, making it safer to use and avoiding damage to the clothes rack.

[0017] 2. The electrical connection wires between the drive unit and the control circuit board are passed through the swing rod, hanging rod and swing arm in the hollow structure. This not only achieves the convenience of not needing to drill holes in the cabinet, but also allows for synchronous control of the drive units on both sides through the same control circuit board, enabling them to drive synchronously.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0031] As attached Figure 1-5As shown, the present invention provides an electric lifting clothes rack, including two swing rods 1, a hanging rod 2 connecting one end of the two swing rods 1, two bases 3 that can be installed on the two side walls inside the wardrobe 8, and a drive device 31 installed in the base 3. The end of the swing rod 1 away from the hanging rod 2 passes through the arc-shaped clearance hole 32 on the base 3 and is hinged to the base 3. The drive device 31 can drive the swing rod 1 to swing along the arc-shaped clearance hole 32, so that the hanging rod 2 can be raised and lowered to retrieve the clothes hanging on the hanging rod 2. When the hanging rod 2 is raised, the clothes are hung normally to avoid wrinkles.

[0032] Among them, as attached Figure 6-9 As shown, at least one distance sensor 4 is installed at the connection between the swing arm 1 and the hanging rod 2, or on the hanging rod 2. That is, the distance sensor 4 is installed at the connection between the swing arm 1 and the hanging rod 2, or it can be installed on the hanging rod 2. When the drive device 31 drives the swing arm 1 to swing along the arc-shaped clearance hole 32, causing the hanging rod 2 to descend, the connection between the swing arm 1 and the hanging rod 2, or the hanging rod 2, is the first to approach the cabinet door. Therefore, when the distance sensor 4 is installed at the connection between the swing arm 1 and the hanging rod 2, or when it is installed on the hanging rod 2, the distance sensor 4 can receive the signal of whether the cabinet door is open first, and transmit the signal to the control circuit board 9 through the distance sensor 4. The control circuit board 9 then controls whether the drive device 31 drives the swing arm 1 to swing along the arc-shaped clearance hole 32, thereby determining whether the hanging rod 2 descends. When the cabinet door is closed, as the drive unit 31 drives the swing arm 1 to swing along the arc-shaped clearance hole 32, causing the hanging rod 2 to descend, the connection point between the swing arm 1 and the hanging rod 2, or the hanging rod 2 itself, is the first point to approach the cabinet door. Upon receiving a signal, the distance sensor 4 will first detect the area in front of it. If a cabinet door malfunction is detected, the hanging rod 2 will not continue its descent, preventing it from hitting the cabinet door. This provides active anti-collision protection, making it safer to use and preventing damage to the clothes rack. When the cabinet door is open, the drive unit 31 drives the hanging rod 2 to descend.

[0033] Among them, as attached Figure 5 As shown, the distance sensor 4 and the drive device 31 are electrically or wirelessly connected to the control circuit board 9 inside the base 3.

[0034] There are four implementation examples above:

[0035] In the first embodiment, the distance sensor 4 and the driving device 31 are electrically connected to the control circuit board 9 inside the base 3. This connection method is a wired communication connection.

[0036] In the second embodiment, the distance sensor 4 and the drive device 31 are wirelessly connected to the control circuit board 9 in the base 3. This connection method is a wireless communication connection. The advantage of this connection method is that it can reduce the number of electrical connection wires and simplify the installation.

[0037] In embodiment three, the distance sensor 4 is wirelessly connected to the control circuit board 9 inside the base 3. This connection method is a wireless communication connection. The drive device 31 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 9 inside the base 3. The advantage of this connection method is that it does not require electrical connection wiring of the distance sensor 4, which simplifies the installation.

[0038] In embodiment four, the distance sensor 4 is wired to the control circuit board 9 inside the base 3, and the drive device 31 is wirelessly connected to the control circuit board 9 inside the base 3. This connection method is a wireless communication connection. The advantage of this connection method is that it does not require electrical connection harness processing for the drive device 31, reducing the number of harnesses and simplifying installation.

[0039] It should be noted that when the distance sensor 4 or the drive device 31 is wirelessly connected to the control circuit board 9, the distance sensor 4 or the drive device 31 needs to be powered separately.

[0040] As one of the installation methods, see attached Figure 9 As shown, at least one swing rod 1 is a hollow structure, and the distance sensor 4 is installed inside the swing rod 1. A notch 11 is provided on the side wall of the swing rod 1 near the distance sensor 4. The notch 11 can avoid interference with the detection signal of the distance sensor 4. By installing the distance sensor 4 inside the swing rod 1, it can be more concise and aesthetically pleasing.

[0041] As a further improvement to the above embodiments, see the appendix. Figure 6 As shown, a decorative piece 5 is provided at the connection between the two swing rods 1 and the hanging rod 2. The decorative piece 5 is a hollow structure with two sockets 51. One end of the hanging rod 2 and one end of the swing rod 1 are respectively inserted into the two sockets 51 of the same decorative piece 5. The decorative piece 5 decorates the connection between the two swing rods 1 and the hanging rod 2, making it more beautiful and the structure more stable.

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in the appendix Figure 6 As shown, the distance sensor 4 is installed at the end of the swing arm 1. The decorative part 5 can cover the distance sensor 4, thereby covering the distance sensor 4 and making the overall appearance more beautiful. In addition, a through hole 52 is provided on the side wall of the decorative part 5 near the distance sensor 4. The through hole 52 can avoid interference with the detection signal of the distance sensor 4.

[0043] Additionally, as attached Figure 8-11As shown, both swing rods 1 are connected to the hanging rod 2 by fastening bolts 6, which strengthen the connection between the swing rod 1 and the hanging rod 2. Specifically, a hole 12 is provided on the side of one end of the swing rod 1, which communicates with a notch 11. Limiting protrusions 21 are provided on the sides of both ends of the hanging rod 2 near the ends. During installation, one end of the hanging rod 2 and one end of the swing rod 1 are first inserted into the two holes 51 of the same decorative piece 5, and then the end of the hanging rod 2 is inserted into the hole 12, so that the limiting protrusions 21 enter the swing rod 1 from the notch 11. Then, the hanging rod 2 is rotated so that the limiting protrusions 21 rest against the inner wall of the swing rod 1, thus locking the swing rod 1 and the hanging rod 2 together. Finally, the fastening bolts 6 are passed through the swing rod 1 and screwed onto the end of the hanging rod 2 to complete the installation. For this purpose, see attached... Figure 6 As shown, the decorative part 5 has an opening 53 for a fastening bolt 6, through which the bolt 6 can pass to connect the swing rod 1 to the hanging rod 2. Furthermore, a plug 54 is provided at the opening 53 to cover it, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0044] In some embodiments, the hanging rod 2 and the two swing rods 1 are both hollow structures with through ends; the control circuit board 9 is installed in one of the bases 3, and the electrical connection wires of the drive device 31 in the other base 3 pass through the swing rod 1, hanging rod 2 and swing rod 1 in sequence and are electrically connected to the control circuit board 9. Passing the electrical connection wires of the drive device 31 and the control circuit board 9 through the hollow structure of the swing rod 1, hanging rod 2 and swing rod 1 not only achieves the convenience of not needing to open holes 53 in the cabinet, but also allows for synchronous control of the drive devices 31 on both sides through the same control circuit board 9, enabling them to drive synchronously.

[0045] As a specific example, see the attached document. Figure 7 As shown, the driving device 31 is an electric actuator 311. The end of the swing rod 1 away from the hanging rod 2 passes through the arc-shaped clearance hole 32 on the base 3 and is hinged to the rotating shaft 33 inside the base 3. A connecting piece 7 is fixed to the end of the swing rod 1 near the rotating shaft 33. The connecting piece 7 has an extension 71 on the side of the push rod 311 of the electric actuator 311. The end of the push rod 311 of the electric actuator 311 is hinged to the extension 71. The ear plate 312 on the bottom of the electric actuator 311 has a mounting hole 313. The ear plate 312 is fitted into the support column 34 inside the base 3 through the mounting hole 313. That is, the end of the push rod 311 of the electric actuator 311 and the extension 71, and the ear plate 312 on the bottom of the electric actuator 311 and the support column 34 inside the base 3 are rotatable relative to each other, which makes it easy for the electric actuator 311 to push the swing rod 1, so that the swing rod 1 rotates along the rotating shaft 33 inside the base 3, thereby realizing the raising and lowering of the hanging rod 2.

[0046] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments.
