[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0033] First embodiment:
[0034] See Figures 1-5 A preferred embodiment of the foldable clothes drying rack of the present invention includes: a storage bucket 1 and a drying rack 2.
[0035] The storage bucket 1 has a receiving cavity 11, which is used to accommodate the drying rack.
[0036] The drying rack 2 is movably connected to the storage bucket 1, allowing it to rotate relative to the storage bucket 1 and be housed within the receiving cavity 11. The drying rack includes a first drying structure 21 and a second drying structure 22. The first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22 are movably connected, enabling the drying rack to switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. In this embodiment, the first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22 are pivotally connected.
[0037] When the drying rack is in the folded state, the first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22 are stacked on top of each other, and the upper drying space of the first drying structure 21 and the upper drying space of the second drying structure 22 overlap along the direction of gravity, and the lower drying space of the first drying structure 21 and the lower drying space of the second drying structure 22 overlap along the direction of gravity.
[0038] When the drying rack is in the unfolded state, the upper drying space of the first drying structure 21 and the upper drying space of the second drying structure 22 are separated from each other, and the lower drying space of the first drying structure 21 and the lower drying space of the second drying structure 22 are also separated from each other.
[0039] In this embodiment, a preferred method is that the second drying structure 22 is flipped relative to the first drying structure 21 and stacked on top of the first drying structure 21, that is, when the drying rack is in the folded state, the first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22 are stacked. Furthermore, a preferred method is that the second drying structure 22 is flipped so that it is parallel to the first drying structure 21 and arranged sequentially in the horizontal direction, that is, when the drying rack is in the unfolded state, the first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22 no longer overlap or have very little overlap.
[0040] An alternative arrangement for the second drying structure 22 to be flipped up and arranged parallel to the first drying structure 21 in a horizontal direction is as follows: When the drying rack is in the unfolded state, the first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22 are spaced apart along the direction of gravity, so that the drying space above the first drying structure 21 is separated from the drying space above the second drying structure 22, and the drying space below the first drying structure 21 is separated from the drying space below the second drying structure 22. In this case, the connection between the first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22 is preferably made using a scissor lift mechanism, although the use of a vertical telescopic rod is also possible.
[0041] Obviously, based on the storage bucket 1 having a receiving cavity 11 to accommodate the drying rack, the drying rack and storage bucket 1 are further defined as being movably connected, so that the drying rack and storage bucket 1 are always connected and can be easily accommodated into the receiving cavity 11. Furthermore, by defining the drying rack as including a first drying structure 21 and a second drying structure 22, and the first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22 being movably connected, the drying rack can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. This allows the drying space of the drying rack to change after the relative movement of the first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22. In particular, when the drying rack is in the unfolded state, the upper drying space of the first drying structure 21 is separated from the upper drying space of the second drying structure 22, and the lower drying space of the first drying structure 21 is also separated from the lower drying space of the second drying structure 22, maximizing the drying space of the drying rack to address the problem of insufficient drying space. In this way, foldable clothes racks expand the drying space while taking into account the convenience of storage.
[0042] The first drying structure 21 can be a single pole or a combination of multiple poles. Similarly, the second drying structure 22 can be a single pole or a combination of multiple poles.
[0043] In this embodiment, the opening 111 of the receiving cavity 11 is located at the top of the receiving cavity 11. The cavity wall of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with a guide rail 112 extending along the depth direction of the receiving cavity 11. The drying rack also includes a slider 23, which is slidably connected to the guide rail 112. The slider 23 is linked to the first drying structure 21. In use, when the slider 23 moves along the extension direction of the guide rail 112, it will link the first drying structure 21, that is, it will link the drying rack to slide along the guide rail 112, so that the drying rack slides out of the receiving cavity 11 through the opening 111, or slides into the receiving cavity 11 through the opening 111. This arrangement improves the smoothness of the drying rack entering and exiting the receiving cavity 11. Furthermore, since the opening 111 of the receiving cavity 11 is located at the top of the receiving cavity 11, the drying rack is well isolated from the outside world after it slides into the receiving cavity 11, and there will be no loosening, which makes the storage effect of the drying rack good.
[0044] In this embodiment, preferably, the first drying structure 21 is linked to a sealing cap 24, and the first drying structure 21 is pivotally connected to the slider 23, so that the first drying structure 21 can flatten out after extending into the receiving cavity 11, and the sealing cap 24 is linked to seal the opening 111 of the receiving cavity 11. By adding a sealing cap 24, and after the first drying structure 21 swings relative to the storage bucket 1, so that it is flattened to allow clothes to be dried, the sealing cap 24 swings with the first drying structure 21 and seals the opening 111 of the receiving cavity 11, thereby preventing impurities from falling into the receiving cavity 11.
[0045] In this embodiment, preferably, the first drying structure 21 includes multiple first drying rods 211, which are arranged at intervals; the second drying structure 22 includes multiple second drying rods 221, which are arranged at intervals. This arrangement provides both the first and second drying structures with ample drying space.
[0046] In this embodiment, preferably, the first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22 are hinged together. When the drying rack is in the unfolded state, the first drying structure 21 and the second drying structure 22 are arranged sequentially in the horizontal direction. This arrangement allows the second drying structure 22 to flip over the first drying structure 21 to overlap with it, and then slide together into the receiving cavity 11. Alternatively, the first drying structure 21 can be movably connected to the second drying structure 22, for example, using a telescopic rod structure.
[0047] In this embodiment, preferably, in order to ensure that the second drying structure 22 has a strong anti-shaking ability when it is flipped over and stacked on top of the first drying structure 21, the first drying structure 21 is provided with a receiving groove 212. When the drying rack is in the unfolded state, the second drying structure 22 is received in the receiving groove 212.
[0048] In this embodiment, preferably, in order to further expand the overall drying space of the foldable drying rack, multiple receiving cavities 11 are provided, and the multiple receiving cavities 11 are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction; multiple drying racks 2 are provided, and the multiple drying racks are matched with the multiple receiving cavities 11 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0049] In this embodiment, to maximize the structural compactness of the foldable clothes rack, preferably, the storage bucket 1 contains multiple receiving tubes 12 spaced apart. The outer wall of each receiving tube 12 forms part of the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. A connecting cavity is formed between two receiving tubes 12 located on opposite sides of the receiving cavity 11, connecting adjacent receiving cavities 11. The opening of each receiving tube 12 extends downwards and through the bottom of the storage bucket. Supporting legs 3 are movably connected to each receiving tube 12, extending out of the receiving tube 12 and supporting the storage bucket 1. This arrangement allows the supporting legs 3 to retract into the receiving tube 12, while the outer wall of the receiving tube 12 serves as the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11, making the receiving tube 12 serve two purposes and saving costs. As an alternative arrangement, the storage bucket can be directly grounded, eliminating the need for supporting legs 3. Alternatively, the receiving tubes 12 can be omitted from housing the supporting legs 3.
[0050] In this embodiment, to facilitate the movement of the foldable clothes rack, preferably, the outer wall of the storage bucket 1 is provided with a handle 4, and the handle 4 is located at the top of the storage bucket 1. Alternatively, multiple handles 4 are provided, and the multiple handles 4 are respectively located on two opposite side walls of the storage bucket 1.
[0051] In this embodiment, to further expand the overall drying space of the foldable clothes rack, the foldable clothes rack also includes a vertical lifting drying assembly 5. The vertical lifting drying assembly 5 includes multiple lifting rods 51 and a crossbar 52 connected to the multiple lifting rods 51. The lifting rods 51 are vertically and vertically connected to the storage bucket, and the crossbar 52 is a telescopic rod structure. After the lifting rods 51 are raised, the crossbar 52 is located above the drying rack.
[0052] In this embodiment, for ease of storage, the outer contour of the storage bucket 1 is a cuboid structure.
[0053] Second embodiment:
[0054] The second embodiment includes the first embodiment, but differs from the first embodiment in that: the slider 23 is linked to the sealing cap 24, and the slider 23 is rotatably connected to the guide rail 112, so that the first drying structure 21 can be flattened after extending into the receiving cavity 11, and the sealing cap 24 is linked to seal the opening 111 of the receiving cavity 11. That is to say, whether it is the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the essence is that after the drying rack switches from the folded state to the unfolded state, the sealing cap can seal the opening 111 of the receiving cavity 11.
