Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothes hanger technology, and in particular to a clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Ultraviolet rays in sunlight have a bactericidal effect, effectively removing bacteria and viruses from clothing. Therefore, sun-drying clothes is the preferred method for removing moisture after washing. Most clothes racks are triangular hangers, which support the clothes by their shoulders or hooks, allowing them to be hung on balconies or outdoors to dry. However, because washed clothes contain a lot of water, the fibers in the fabric are stretched significantly under gravity. Some of this stretching is irreversible, leading to permanent deformation of the clothing, affecting its wearability and lifespan.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, Chinese utility model patent CN2875238Y, published on March 7, 2007, discloses an anti-deformation clothes rack, including a clothes rack body and hooks, and a simulated human-shaped airbag on the outer cover of the clothes rack body. The airbag has multiple ventilation holes and an inflation nozzle. Its principle lies in changing the shape of the contact area between the clothes rack and the clothes, so that the clothes can be smoothly transitioned.

[0004] However, although the aforementioned clothes racks have changed the way clothes are dried, they have not reduced the force per unit area on the contact area between the clothes and the clothes rack. For example, when drying shirts, the shoulders will still deform. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of at least one of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a clothes rack with structural improvements to reduce the stretching and deformation of clothes caused by their own weight and moisture during the drying process.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a clothes drying rack is provided, comprising:

[0007] Suspension section;

[0008] A support portion is connected to the base end of the suspension portion and extends toward both sides opposite to the suspension portion;

[0009] A clothes drying section is provided on the support section, and the clothes drying section is provided with at least one;

[0010] The clothes drying section has an axially horizontal spiral structure. The clothes drying section includes a connecting end connected to the support section and a support body that starts from the connecting end and is arranged around the connecting end in a spiral trajectory. Clothes are inserted into the support body from the end away from the connecting end.

[0011] Furthermore, the entity constituting the support is a closed surface, a grid-like structure, or a strip-like structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the support part is a frame structure, including an upper crossbar connected to the suspension part, connecting rods connected to both sides of the upper crossbar, and a lower crossbar whose two ends are respectively connected to the two connecting rods, and the connecting end is connected to the lower crossbar.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting end and the lower crossbar are rotatably connected relative to each other.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting end has an axially arranged circular hole, through which the lower crossbar passes, and the clothes drying part can rotate around the lower crossbar.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a rotation adjustment mechanism for adjusting the rotation angle of the clothes drying section on the lower crossbar.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotation adjustment mechanism includes a ratchet fixed to the end of the connecting end and rotating with the connecting end. The rotation adjustment mechanism also includes a base fixed to the crossbar. A pawl with its other end in contact with the ratchet is rotatably connected to the base. The base also has a spring that compresses the pawl into close contact with the ratchet.

[0017] Furthermore, the clothes drying section is provided to be axially extendable in its spiral structure.

[0018] Furthermore, at least the support body includes an outer tube with an axial opening at one end and an inner tube that can be inserted into the open end of the outer tube and can move axially. The opening of the outer tube has a stop boss that cooperates with the insertion end of the inner tube.

[0019] Furthermore, two drying sections are provided at axial intervals, and the two supports are respectively used for inserting the trouser legs.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting the clothes drying part with a horizontal spiral surface structure, when clothes are being dried, the clothes are passed through the support of the clothes drying part, so that the clothes are supported in a spiral shape by the support. Compared with the two-point support of the triangular clothes rack in the prior art, the support can form multi-point support for the clothes, reducing the stretching of the clothes material by the weight of the clothes, and thus reducing the deformation of the clothes.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 The clothes rack shown includes a hanging part 1, a support part 2, and a drying part 3, as detailed below. Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the hanging part 1 is disposed on the upper side of the support part 2 for hanging clothes in the air. As for the shape of the hanging part 1, as long as it can be hung on a clothesline, there is no limitation in the embodiment of this utility model. For example, it can be a shape that protrudes upward and bends, i.e., a conventional hook shape, or a stop clip can be provided at the opening of the hook, etc.

[0036] The support part 2 is connected to the base end of the suspension part 1 and extends toward both sides opposite to the suspension part 1; the base end of the suspension part 1 refers to the bottom of the suspension part 1, and the specific connection method can be injection molding or welding, etc.; in the embodiment of this utility model, the support part 2 extends toward both sides opposite to the suspension part 1 to form a space supporting the clothes drying part 3; it should be noted that in the embodiment of this utility model, the support part 2 can be a frame structure, and the frame can be rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal or oblong as shown in the figure, or it can be a structure with an open bottom.

[0037] The clothes drying section 3 is mounted on the support section 2, and at least one clothes drying section 3 is provided. In the first embodiment of this utility model, the number of clothes drying sections 3 can be a single section for drying shirts, two sections for hanging trousers, or multiple sections for drying socks and other clothing. In the first embodiment of this utility model, the structure of the clothes rack is described using a single clothes drying section 3 as an example. Please refer to [link / reference] for details. Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment of the invention, the clothes drying section 3 has an axially horizontal helical structure. The clothes drying section 3 includes a connecting end 31 connected to the support section 2 and a support body 32 that starts from the connecting end 31 and surrounds the connecting end 31 with a helical trajectory. Clothes are inserted into the support body 32 from the end away from the connecting end 31. It should be noted that in this embodiment of the invention, axial direction refers to the width direction of the support section 2, i.e., as shown... Figure 3 In the embodiments of this invention, the number of layers of the spiral surface is not limited in the left-right direction shown. For example, it can be as follows: Figure 2 The diagram shows a three-layer spiral structure, with the spacing between two spiral layers meeting the requirements for clothing to be worn.

[0038] When drying clothes, taking a garment as an example, open the collar or bottom of the garment, or zip up the zipper or fasten the buttons. At this point, the garment has a cylindrical structure. Then, insert the garment through the outer end of the support body 32 and gradually pull it inwards towards the connecting end 31 of the drying section 3, so that the garment hangs on the entire support body 32 in a spiral shape. Through the above arrangement, most of the garment is supported on the support body 32, forming a multi-point support structure. This structure can prevent certain parts of the fiber bundles in the garment from being subjected to excessive gravity, avoiding irreversible deformation and affecting the appearance and lifespan of the garment. In addition, the above-mentioned structure of the drying section 3 can also separate the two layers of the garment, increase the ventilation area, accelerate the evaporation of moisture, and avoid the accumulation of moisture under the action of gravity and fiber guidance in the prior art, which causes the bottom and cuffs of the garment to be wet while other parts are already dry.

[0039] Furthermore, in embodiments of this utility model, the hanging part 1, the support part 2, and the clothes drying part 3 can be made of metal, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, or they can be made of injection molding materials, such as polypropylene or polyethylene, and formed by stamping, injection molding, or other methods.

[0040] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the solid constituting the support 32 is a closed surface. This closed surface can be plate-like or a hollow shell structure. Furthermore, in embodiments of this invention, to prevent clothing from slipping and piling up, an anti-slip coating, such as a rubber coating, can be applied to the surface of the closed surface. Alternatively, a serrated texture or other structural form can be used. In some embodiments of this invention, the solid constituting the support 32 can also be a mesh or strip structure. A mesh structure is more breathable, suitable for drying thin clothing, and can accelerate moisture evaporation. A strip support structure provides flexible support; the strip structure can be multiple strips arranged at intervals, enabling the drying of items such as socks.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some exemplary structural forms of the support part 2, the support part 2 is a frame structure, including an upper crossbar 21 connected to the suspension part 1, connecting rods 22 connected to both sides of the upper crossbar 21, and a lower crossbar 23 whose two ends are respectively connected to the two connecting rods 22, with the connecting end 31 connected to the lower crossbar 23. It should be noted that the upper crossbar 21 and the lower crossbar 23 can be adopted as follows: Figure 3 The parallel structure shown can also be configured such that the upper crossbar 21 is tilted downwards in a V-shape, and the connecting rods 22 on both sides can be as follows: Figure 3 The semi-circular structure shown can also be a linear structure, etc. By setting the frame structure, the reliability of the support for the clothes drying section 3 is improved, so that it can bear heavier clothes and maintain overall stability.

[0042] In embodiments of this utility model, to improve the convenience of drying and removing clothes, the connecting end 31 and the lower crossbar 23 are rotatably connected. It should be noted that the rotatable connection between the connecting end 31 and the lower crossbar 23 can take various forms, such as a bearing, a ball joint, or an opening on the connecting end 31. With this structural design, the clothes can be kept stationary while drying, and only the support 32 needs to be rotated to easily insert the clothes. Similarly, the clothes can be removed by rotating the support 32 in the opposite direction. In the exemplary rotatable connection structure of this utility model, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the connecting end 31 has an axially arranged circular hole through which the lower crossbar 23 passes, and the clothes drying part 3 can rotate around the lower crossbar 23. This structure is simple and easy to process and manufacture.

[0043] To facilitate hanging clothes in a specific position for easy wearing or adjustment of the drying angle, this embodiment of the invention includes a rotation adjustment mechanism 4. The rotation adjustment mechanism 4 is used to adjust the rotation angle of the drying section 3 on the lower crossbar 23. It should be noted that the angle adjustment and locking of the drying section 3 can have various structural forms. For example, it can be achieved by radially screwing a threaded post to the connecting end 31 and fixing the angle of the drying section 3 by tightening the bolt. Alternatively, a positioning pin supported by a spring 44 can be used to achieve angle adjustment. In an exemplary rotation adjustment mechanism 4 of this invention, such as… Figure 4As shown, the rotation adjustment mechanism 4 includes a ratchet 41 fixed to the end of the connecting end 31 and rotating with the connecting end 31. The rotation adjustment mechanism 4 also includes a base 42 fixed to the crossbar. A pawl 43 with its other end in contact with the ratchet 41 is rotatably connected to the base 42. The base 42 also has a spring 44 that presses the pawl 43 into close contact with the ratchet 41. With this arrangement, the clothes drying part 3 can only rotate in one direction with the ratchet 41 and cannot rotate in the opposite direction. The spring 44 can be a leaf spring or a torsion spring, etc. With the spring 44, the hanging part can be stopped by simply rotating the support body 32 to the required angle, which improves the convenience of angle adjustment.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to accommodate clothing of different sizes, such as Figure 5 As shown, the clothes drying section 3 is axially extendable within its spiral structure. Here, axial refers to… Figure 5 As shown in the left-right direction, the axially extendable structure of the clothes drying section 3 has various forms. In some exemplary structures of this utility model, at least the support body 32 includes an outer tube 32a with one end open in the axial direction and an inner tube 32b that can be inserted into the open end of the outer tube 32a and can move axially. The opening of the outer tube 32a has a stop boss 32c that cooperates with the insertion end of the inner tube 32b. Through the nesting of the inner tube 32b and the outer tube 32a, the inner tube 32b can be inserted into the outer tube 32a to shorten the overall width, and vice versa to increase the overall width. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the structure of the stop boss 32c prevents the inner tube 32b from detaching from the outer tube 32a, improving the reliability of telescopic movement. It should also be noted that the inner tube 32b and outer tube 32a may include a connecting end 31, which can be positioned near the outer side of the inner tube 32b and outer tube 32a. Since it connects to the lower crossbar 23 through a circular hole, axial movement is also possible. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the stop boss 32c extends in the helical direction of the helical structure, ensuring the reliability of the stop and providing damping for axial telescopic movement under gravity, thus improving the reliability of the support.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] In this embodiment of the utility model, a second implementation method is provided to facilitate the drying of trousers and other clothing with trouser legs. The structural forms of the hanging part 1 and the support part 2 are the same as in the first embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 8In this embodiment of the invention, two clothes-drying sections 3 are spaced apart along the axial direction, and two supports 32 are respectively used for the insertion of trouser legs. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the width of the two supports 32 can be set to match the size of the trouser legs as needed, and the two clothes-drying sections 3 are not connected in the middle. It should also be noted that the structure of the two supports 32 can be the same as in Embodiment 1, using a plate, mesh, or strip structure; it can also be set as in Embodiment 1, with a rotatable structure that can be suspended at a certain angle; alternatively, each clothes-drying section 3 can be set as a width-adjustable structure. The specific structural forms have been described in detail in Embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.
