Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Clothes drying racks are a common drying tool in modern homes. They can be raised and lowered manually or electrically to make it convenient for users to dry their clothes.

[0003] However, traditional clothes racks are typically designed to a fixed size. Small clothes racks, with their compact and lightweight features, are popular in homes with limited space. However, their small size provides limited drying area, leading to clothes piling up, poor drying results, and potentially prolonged drying time, increasing the risk of bacterial growth. They cannot meet the needs of drying large quantities of clothing. In contrast, large clothes racks offer ample drying area; however, their larger size naturally requires more space for installation and use, which is undoubtedly a burden for homes with limited space and increases the difficulty of operation for users. These two clothes rack solutions present a trade-off in home applications, making it difficult to fully meet the diverse needs of different drying requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a clothes rack and clothes drying equipment that can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] Firstly, a clothes drying rack is provided, comprising:

[0007] Clothes rack body;

[0008] The first extended drying rack is telescopically provided at one end of the clothes rack body in the longitudinal direction. The first extended drying rack can extend longitudinally out of the clothes rack body or retract into the clothes rack body.

[0009] The second extended drying rack is telescopically mounted at the end of the first extended drying rack away from the main body of the clothes rack. The second extended drying rack can extend longitudinally out of the first extended drying rack or retract into the first extended drying rack.

[0010] As an optional implementation, at least one end of the clothes rack body is provided with more than two first guide structures, each of which extends along the longitudinal direction of the clothes rack body.

[0011] The first extended drying rack includes the same number of first guide rods as the first guide structure. Each first guide rod is provided with a second guide structure. One end of each first guide rod is guided and engaged longitudinally with each first guide structure through the second guide structure. The other end of each first guide rod is connected through a first fixing component.

[0012] As an optional implementation, in a first extended drying rack, the first guide rod is set to four, and the four first guide rods are arranged in pairs on opposite sides in the transverse direction of the main body of the drying rack, and two of the first guide rods are respectively arranged above the other two first guide rods.

[0013] Multiple first crossbars, each movable longitudinally, are connected between any two first guide rods placed on opposite sides of the main body of the clothes rack.

[0014] As an optional implementation, the clothes rack body includes at least two drying rods, each of which is parallel to each other and has the first guide structure at its end.

[0015] As an optional implementation, the first extended drying rack includes more than two first guide rods, one end of each first guide rod is longitudinally telescopically engaged with the main body of the drying rack, and the other end of at least two first guide rods is provided with a third guide structure, each of the third guide structures extending along the longitudinal direction of the first guide rod.

[0016] The second extended drying rack includes the same number of second guide rods as the third guide structure. At least two second guide rods are arranged at a lateral interval. Each second guide rod is provided with a fourth guide structure. One end of each second guide rod is guided and engaged longitudinally with each of the third guide structures through the fourth guide structure. The other end of each second guide rod is connected through a second fixing component.

[0017] As an optional implementation, multiple second crossbars that can move longitudinally are connected between any two second guide rods that are spaced apart laterally.

[0018] As an optional implementation, the clothes rack body is provided with the first extended drying rack at both ends, and the first extended drying rack is provided with the second extended drying rack.

[0019] As an optional implementation, it also includes:

[0020] The third extended drying rack is movably disposed on one side of the main body of the clothes rack and / or the first extended drying rack in the lateral direction, and the third extended drying rack can be extended or retracted along the lateral direction.

[0021] As an optional implementation, the third extended drying rack includes a quilt drying rod assembly and at least one third guide rod. One end of the third guide rod is connected to the end of the quilt drying rod assembly, and the other end of the third guide rod is provided with a fifth guide structure extending in the lateral direction.

[0022] The clothes rack body and / or the first extended clothes rack are provided with a sixth guide structure, and the sixth guide structure and the fifth guide structure are in a lateral guide cooperation structure.

[0023] Secondly, a clothes drying device is provided, including:

[0024] The host unit is equipped with a power unit;

[0025] As described in the first aspect, the clothes rack is located below the main unit, and the power unit is driven to the main body of the clothes rack via a traction component.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By sequentially assembling a retractable and retractable first and second extension racks on the main body of the clothes rack, the clothes drying equipment can handle drying tasks of different scales. In large drying scenarios, the first and second extension racks can selectively extend from their respective components according to different needs, adaptively expanding the drying area to ensure that clothes are fully dried, effectively improving drying efficiency. In small drying scenarios or when the clothes drying equipment is not in use, the first and second extension racks can also be selectively retracted into their respective components for storage, achieving precise utilization of the drying area. While ensuring that the drying efficiency remains unchanged, the space occupied by the clothes drying equipment is reduced, and the clothes drying rack can also better integrate into the home environment when not in use, enhancing the overall aesthetics.

[0027] Both the first and second extension racks adopt a longitudinal telescopic design, which not only saves the space occupied by the clothes rack in the horizontal direction, providing a more compact and efficient drying solution for the home environment, but also brings more possibilities for the functional expansion of the clothes rack in the horizontal space.

[0028] The extendable design allows users to easily unfold and retract the clothes rack without complicated installation steps or additional accessories. This improves the structural compactness and stability of the equipment while reducing the difficulty of use and enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0039] Clothes drying racks, as an indispensable household item in daily life, play an important role in drying clothes, bedding, towels and other daily necessities. They can be raised and lowered manually or electrically, making it convenient for users to dry their clothes.

[0040] As the background technology shows, traditional clothes racks are typically designed with a fixed size. Compared to smaller racks, their compact and lightweight nature makes them popular in homes with limited space. However, their small size also brings significant limitations. Small racks offer limited drying area, which is insufficient for drying large quantities of clothes. This inadequate area leads to clothes piling up, poor drying results, and may even prolong drying time, increasing the risk of bacterial growth. In contrast, larger racks offer ample drying area, but their larger size also presents several problems. First, larger racks require more space for installation and use, which is undoubtedly a burden for homes with limited space, especially when not in use or when drying smaller loads. Second, larger racks increase the difficulty of operation. When raising or lowering the rack, it is more prone to scraping against objects, increasing the risk of damage and safety hazards.

[0041] In view of this, this embodiment provides a clothes drying rack, which adds an expandable and retractable first and second expandable drying racks to the main body of the clothes drying rack. This allows users to selectively adjust the drying area provided by the clothes drying rack according to different drying needs, while also allowing the clothes drying rack to meet daily storage needs, thus solving the problem of limited applicable scenarios for clothes drying racks.

[0042] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 1-3The clothes drying rack mainly includes a main body 10. In the application of the clothes drying equipment, the main body 10 is connected to the main unit 50 of the clothes drying equipment so that it can move up and down in the height direction under the drive of the main unit 50. As the supporting foundation of the clothes drying rack, the main function of the main body 10 is to provide users with a basic drying area. This function is achieved through the structural design of the main body 10, the most common feature of which is the drying rods 11 that extend longitudinally and laterally in the horizontal direction, and the drying structures (including but not limited to hooks, hanging holes, and lights) set on the corresponding drying rods 11. As the name suggests, the longitudinal drying rods 11 usually extend along the length of the main body 10, while the transverse drying rods are set perpendicular to the longitudinal drying rods. Through the combination of drying rods 11 in different directions and related connecting structures, the main body 10 of the clothes drying rack provides users with a relatively spacious and flexible drying space. To accommodate the needs of most drying scenarios, the longitudinal dimension of the clothes rack body 10 is generally set to be greater than its transverse dimension. In this embodiment, for ease of understanding in the following content, the two vertical directions of the clothes rack body 10 in the same horizontal direction are defined as longitudinal (as shown in the attached diagram). Figures 1-3 The arrows indicate "vertical" and horizontal (as shown in the appendix). Figures 1-3 (The arrow points to "horizontal") Of course, in this embodiment, there are no strict limitations or requirements on the dimensions of the clothes rack body 10 in the longitudinal and transverse directions and the ratio between the two.

[0043] Understandably, in order to ensure that the clothes rack has sufficient structural strength so that clothes can be hung stably on it, the relevant components of the clothes rack may be made of materials such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and high-strength plastic.

[0044] Based on the above structure, the clothes rack also includes a first extended drying rack 20 and a second extended drying rack 30. Both the first extended drying rack 20 and the second extended drying rack 30 are configured as extended drying structures connected to the main clothes rack. In some embodiments, the first extended drying rack 20 and the second extended drying rack 30 may include, but are not limited to, one or more drying rods. Similar to the main clothes rack body 10, these drying rods can be arranged parallel or perpendicular to the main clothes rack to expand the basic drying area provided by the main clothes rack body 10.

[0045] Specifically, the first extendable drying rack 20 is telescopically disposed at at least one end of the clothes rack body 10 in the longitudinal direction. The first extendable drying rack 20 can extend longitudinally out of the clothes rack body 10 or retract into the clothes rack body 10, thereby increasing or decreasing the extension area. The second extendable drying rack 30 is telescopically disposed at the end of the first extendable drying rack 20 away from the clothes rack body 10. The second extendable drying rack 30 can extend longitudinally out of the first extendable drying rack 20 or retract into the first extendable drying rack 20.

[0046] The first extension drying rack 20 and the second extension drying rack 30 are movably mounted on the main body 10 of the clothes rack, realizing a multi-layer design of the clothes rack structure. The size of the first extension drying area and the second extension drying area that the first extension drying rack 20 and the second extension drying rack 30 can provide to the clothes rack can be determined according to their respective positions on the corresponding components, so that the clothes drying equipment can cope with drying tasks of different scales.

[0047] In large-scale drying scenarios, the first and second extension racks 20 and 30 can selectively extend from their respective components according to different needs, adaptively expanding the drying area to ensure that clothes can be fully dried and effectively improving drying efficiency. For example, the first extension rack 20 can extend from the main body 10 of the clothes rack to expand the basic drying area provided by the main body 10. In this state, the second extension rack 30 can selectively extend the first extension rack 20 or remain retracted depending on whether the current state of the clothes rack meets the corresponding drying needs. If the basic drying area and the first extension drying area still do not meet the current drying needs, the user can further extend the second extension rack 30 from the first extension rack 20 to allow the second extension drying area to intervene, thereby further expanding the overall drying area.

[0048] Of course, in some other implementations, the user may also extend the basic drying area by using only the second extension rack 30, while keeping the first extension rack 20 retracted into the clothes rack body 10.

[0049] In other embodiments, the first extended drying rack 20 and the second extended drying rack 30 may also provide different drying structures or sizes, so that customers can selectively use the first extended drying rack 20 or the second extended drying rack 30 to meet the hanging requirements of the corresponding clothes or the size requirements of the drying area according to different drying needs.

[0050] In small-scale drying scenarios or when the clothes drying equipment is not in use, the first extension rack 20 and the second extension rack 30 can be selectively retracted into their respective components for storage, achieving precise utilization of the drying area. For example, after the clothes rack is finished being used, the user can control the first extension rack 20 to return to its retracted position within the main body 10, and control the second extension rack 30 to return to its retracted position within the first extension rack 20, so that the entire clothes rack only occupies the space occupied by the main body 10. When the amount of clothes to be dried is relatively small, even using only the main body 10 can meet the corresponding drying needs, or as mentioned above, using only the first extension rack 20 or the second extension rack 30 can meet the corresponding needs. In this way, while ensuring that the clothes drying efficiency remains unchanged, the space occupied by the clothes drying equipment is reduced, and the clothes rack can also better integrate into the home environment when not in use, improving the overall aesthetics and meeting the diverse needs of different drying scenarios.

[0051] By implementing the above technical solutions, users can meet the drying needs of different clothes in different drying scenarios. In addition to providing sufficient drying space in humid seasons, when clothes are heavy, or when there are many family members, it ensures the maximization of drying efficiency, avoids clothes blocking each other, and speeds up the drying process.

[0052] In addition, the design of the extendable clothes rack also enhances the user experience. When extending or retracting the clothes rack, users can easily do so manually, without complicated steps or additional accessories, thus improving drying efficiency. Even when the first and second extendable racks 20 and 30 are controlled via mechanical transmission, the relatively simple connection between the extendable racks and the main body 10 allows for more stable control of the respective racks. This not only improves the operational stability of the clothes drying equipment but also reduces the failure rate and extends its service life.

[0053] Both the first and second extension racks 20 and 30 adopt a longitudinal telescopic design. This not only saves the space occupied by the clothes rack in the horizontal direction, providing a more compact and efficient drying solution for the home environment, but also brings more possibilities for the functional expansion of the clothes rack in the horizontal space. For example, more intelligent functions, such as intelligent sensor lighting and environmental monitoring sensors, can be further integrated on both sides of the clothes rack body 10 in the horizontal direction, further improving the functionality and user experience of the clothes rack.

[0054] It is worth mentioning that the reason why the extended drying rack is arranged to be movably installed sequentially on the clothes rack body 10 in this embodiment is not only to allow the clothes rack to meet the needs of different drying conditions for the size of the drying area, but also to allow it to be used on the small-sized clothes rack body 10. The segmented extended drying rack can effectively reduce the size of the movable structure between any two, thereby avoiding the situation where the large-sized extended drying rack interferes with other extended drying racks or directly with the clothes rack body 10 due to the small size of the clothes rack body 10 when it is installed.

[0055] Please continue to refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figures 1-4 As a specific way of cooperating between the clothes rack body 10 and the first extended drying rack 20, the clothes rack body 10 has at least one end provided with more than two first guide structures 111, each of which extends along the longitudinal direction of the clothes rack body 10. The first extended drying rack 20 includes the same number of first guide rods 21 as the first guide structures 111, and each first guide rod 21 is provided with a second guide structure 211. One end of each first guide rod 21 is guided and cooperated with each first guide structure 111 longitudinally through the second guide structure 211, so as to guide the first extended drying rack 20 to extend or retract longitudinally into the clothes rack body 10, thereby meeting the needs of expanding and shrinking the first extended drying area. The guiding cooperation between the first guide structure 111 and the second guide structure 211 allows the first extended drying rack 20 to move or adjust relative to the clothes rack body 10 within a certain range, so that the first extended drying rack 20 can provide a more flexible drying function on the clothes rack body 10.

[0056] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that each first guide structure 111 can cooperate with each second guide structure 211, each first guide structure 111 needs to be set in the same longitudinal position and spaced apart in the lateral and / or height directions. For example, multiple first guide structures 111 can be set apart in the lateral direction when they are in the same longitudinal position, so as to prevent the first guide structures 111 from interfering with each other in the longitudinal position and thus failing to cooperate with the second guide structure 211.

[0057] The other end of each first guide rod 21 is connected to each other through a first fixing component 22 to ensure that each first guide rod 21 maintains structural stability on the clothes rack body 10.

[0058] In this embodiment, the clothes rack body 10 and the first extended drying rack 20 are visually guided by more than two first guide structures 111 and second guide structures 211, so that the clothes rack body 10 and the first extended drying rack 20 together form a multi-point support system. In this way, the weight generated by the first extended drying rack 20 itself and the first extended drying rack 20 in the drying state will be evenly distributed by these guide structures, avoiding the situation that the movement is hindered or even damaged due to excessive friction between the guide structures, and improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0059] Following the above, it can also be understood that since the number of both the first guide structure 111 and the second guide structure 211 is greater than two, they can form a stable geometric structure, such as a triangle or polygon, when they are in cooperation. These structures have excellent mechanical stability. When the first extended drying rack 20 is hung with clothes, these guide structures can maintain the balance of the main body 10 of the drying rack, preventing it from tilting or overturning due to uneven force. This helps to reduce the vibration and swaying of the drying rack under wind load or other external forces, and also reduces the noise and potential safety hazards caused by vibration.

[0060] It should be understood that the cooperation between the first guide structure 111 and the second guide structure 211 does not depend on the telescopic cooperation between the first extended drying rack 20 and the clothes rack body 10. The first guide structure 111 and the second guide structure 211 can, but are not limited to, adopt telescopic cooperation, sliding cooperation, or other methods. For example, in the telescopic cooperation method, the first guide structure 111 can be configured as a telescopic rod or telescopic sleeve, and the second guide structure 211 can be configured as a telescopic part that matches the telescopic rod or telescopic sleeve. The length adjustment and guiding cooperation between the first guide structure 111 and the second guide structure 211 are achieved through the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod or telescopic sleeve. In the sliding cooperation method, the first guide structure 111 can be configured as a slide rail or guide groove with a smooth and continuous guiding surface, and the second guide structure 211 is configured as a slider or guide rod that matches the slide rail or guide groove. The relative movement and guiding cooperation between the first guide structure 111 and the second guide structure 211 are achieved through the sliding of the slider or guide rod within the slide rail or guide groove.

[0061] As a specific implementation method, such as Figures 1-4As shown, four first guide structures 111 are specifically provided at one end of the clothes rack body 10. Correspondingly, in a first extended drying rack 20, four first guide rods 21 are provided. The four first guide rods 21 are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the clothes rack body 10 in the lateral direction, and two of the first guide rods 21 are respectively positioned above the other two first guide rods 21. Each first guide rod 21 is guided and engaged with the first guide structure 111 on the clothes rack body 10 through a second guide structure 211. In this embodiment, the four first guide rods 21 located on both sides of the first extended drying rack 20 can be regarded as a group of two rods each, and the two groups of first guide rods 21 are respectively connected to both sides of the clothes rack body 10. This layout can more effectively resist the impact and vibration of external forces, thereby improving the stability and durability of the clothes rack.

[0062] In other words, when the clothes rack body 10 has a first extended drying rack 20 at both ends, in the above embodiment, the clothes rack body 10 has four first guide structures 111 at each end. Thus, the four first guide rods 21 on the first extended drying rack 20 at the opposite ends of the clothes rack body 10 are respectively guided and cooperated with each first guide structure 111.

[0063] Meanwhile, the above design also allows the two sets of first guide rods 21 to be spaced apart in the lateral direction, so that a sufficiently large first extended drying area is formed between them. At the same time, each set of first guide rods 21 also forms a multi-layered drying space, which not only improves the drying efficiency, but also allows the clothes to receive sunlight and ventilation better, thereby speeding up the drying process.

[0064] Furthermore, multiple first crossbars 23, which can move longitudinally, are connected between any two first guide rods 21 placed on opposite sides of the clothes rack body 10.

[0065] like Figures 2-4 As shown in one embodiment, for ease of understanding in subsequent embodiments, the first guide rod 21 located near the top is defined as the upper guide rod 213, and the first guide rod 21 located near the bottom is defined as the lower guide rod 214. Based on the above, it can be understood that the first crossbars 23 are spaced apart between the two upper guide rods 213 or the two lower guide rods 214. In general, to provide users with more drying space for the first extended drying rack 20, each first crossbar 23 is positioned between the two upper guide rods 213, so that after the clothes rack rises as a whole, the clothes can be positioned closer to the main unit 50 of the drying equipment, reducing the probability of clothes drying on the first extended drying rack 20 interfering with the user.

[0066] Based on the embodiment where at least one end of the clothes rack body 10 is provided with more than two first guide structures 111, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, in one optional embodiment, the clothes rack body 10 includes at least two drying rods 11, each drying rod 11 is parallel to each other and each end is provided with a first guide structure 111, and each drying rod 11 can be connected to each other by a bracket 12 or a crossbar or other connecting structure, so that the clothes rack body 10 forms a stable frame structure.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the drying rod 11 is the part of the clothes rack body 10 that directly bears the weight of the clothes. Setting the two drying rods 11 to be parallel to each other and of equal length can ensure that the drying position of the clothes and the weight of the clothes rack body 10 are evenly distributed, avoiding the problem of single-point overload. It also meets the modern family's demand for diversified and efficient clothes drying. It not only ensures the size of the basic drying area, but also effectively improves the drying efficiency of clothes.

[0068] By setting the drying rod 11 along the longitudinal direction, the first guide structure 111 is set on the drying rod 11, which ensures that the drying rod 11 provides sufficient space and position for the first guide structure 111, thereby ensuring that the main body of the clothes rack 10 is structurally compact.

[0069] It is understandable that in the embodiment where the clothes drying rods 11 are connected by brackets 12, the brackets 12 not only enhance the structural stability of the clothes drying rack body 10, but also provide a reliable connection point for the traction components 52 (such as steel wire ropes, traction belts, etc.) of the clothes drying equipment.

[0070] In the above-mentioned first extended drying rack 20, in an embodiment where four first guide rods 21 are provided, at least one end of a drying rod 11 is provided with two first guide structures 111. In order to enable the drying rack body 10 and the first extended drying rack 20 to fit together more tightly, the first guide structure 111 in this embodiment is configured as a guide hole opened longitudinally at the end of the drying rod 11, and the second guide structure 211 is configured as the outer periphery of the first guide rod 21. The guide hole and the outer periphery of the second guide structure 211 are adapted to each other so that the first guide rod 21 can be directly and longitudinally inserted into the drying rod 11 and perform longitudinal telescopic movement under the action of external force.

[0071] By using the telescopic cooperation of the above-mentioned multiple telescopic holes with the first telescopic rod, the cooperation range between the clothes rack body 10 and the first extended drying rack 20 can be expanded to the greatest extent, so that the clothes rack body 10 can be evenly stressed during the extension and retraction of the first extended drying rack 20, avoiding deformation or damage caused by uneven stress. At the same time, it ensures that the first extended drying rack 20 can extend and retract smoothly, improving the user experience.

[0072] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first telescopic rods of the same group are staggered in the horizontal direction so that the first extended drying rack 20 can achieve staggered drying through each first guide rod 21, improve the utilization rate of the drying rod 11, ensure that every inch of space can be fully utilized, make full use of vertical space, increase the drying area, and improve drying efficiency.

[0073] Please continue to refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figures 1-4 Continuing with the example of the first extended drying rack 20 including more than two first guide rods 21, with one end of each first guide rod 21 longitudinally telescopically engaging with the main body 10 of the drying rack, at least two of the first guide rods 21 are provided with a third guide structure 212 at their other ends, and each third guide structure 212 extends along the longitudinal direction of the first guide rod 21; the second extended drying rack 30 includes the same number of second guide rods 31 as the third guide structures 212, with at least two second guide rods 31 spaced laterally, and each second guide rod 31 is provided with a fourth guide structure 311, with one end of each second guide rod 31 longitudinally guiding and engaging with each third guide structure 212 through the fourth guide structure 311, and the other end of each second guide rod 31 connected through a second fixing component 32.

[0074] The second extended drying rack 30 has a similar structural form to the first extended drying rack 20. Both form a high-strength frame structure through the cooperation of multiple guide rods and fixing components. They also form a guiding relationship with related components through multi-point cooperation, so that the second extended drying rack 30 can be stably supported by the first extended drying rack 20. This allows for the further expansion of the drying area to a second extended drying area based on the basic drying area provided by the clothes rack body 10 and the first extended drying area provided by the first extended drying rack 20.

[0075] Understandably, since the second extended drying rack 30 is located at the end of the first extended drying rack 20 that is longitudinally away from the main body 10 of the clothes rack when it extends beyond the first extended drying rack 20, the lever arm formed by the second extended drying rack 30 on the overall clothes rack is relatively large when drying. Therefore, the second extended drying rack 30 is generally used for drying small and lightweight clothing in practical applications. Thus, in this embodiment, the second extended drying rack 30 only requires at least two second guide rods 31. Compared with the specific structural form of the first extended drying rack 20, the second extended drying rack 30 requires relatively fewer guide rods. This allows it to minimize the space occupied by the second extended drying rack 30 at both ends of the clothes rack while ensuring structural stability on the first extended drying rack 20. It also facilitates the simultaneous storage of the second extended drying rack 30 and the first extended drying rack 20 on the same end of the main body 10 of the clothes rack. This minimizes the impact on the external environment when the clothes rack is fully extended and also reduces the overall bulkiness of the clothes rack, improving the aesthetics of the product.

[0076] Similar to the above description of the first guide structure 111 and the second guide structure 211, the third guide structure 212 and the fourth guide structure 311 can achieve guiding cooperation in various ways. They only need to meet the requirement that the second extended drying rack 30 can be adjusted relative to the first extended drying rack 20 in longitudinal reciprocating motion under the guidance cooperation of the two. Since the cooperation forms of the first guide structure 111 and the second guide structure 211 have been illustrated above, this embodiment will not be described in further detail here.

[0077] Please continue to refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figures 2-4 In the above embodiment where the first guide rod 21 is set to four, and the four first guide rods 21 are placed in pairs on both sides of the first extension bracket in a horizontal direction and are staggered vertically, of the two sets of first guide rods 21, the first guide rod 21 set near the top is defined as the upper guide rod 213, and the second guide rod 31 set near the bottom is defined as the lower guide rod 214. Following the above embodiment of the specific structure of the second extension drying rack 30, generally speaking, the second guide rod 31 and the lower guide rod 214 are guided and cooperated to make the position of the second extension drying rack 30 closer to the lower side of the clothes rack.

[0078] As can be seen from the above, the second extended drying rack 30 is mainly used for drying small items of clothing. In this embodiment, the second extended drying rack 30 is set near the lower side of the first extended drying rack 20, which makes it convenient for users to take and put clothes, making drying clothes easier, more efficient and safer, and also optimizing the use of home space.

[0079] Furthermore, multiple second crossbars 33, which can move longitudinally, are connected between any two second guide rods 31 that are spaced apart laterally, so as to further increase the drying area that the second extended drying rack 30 and the clothes rack as a whole can provide.

[0080] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, similar to the way the first extended drying rack 20 and the clothes rack body 10 are matched, in the first extended drying rack 20, the third guide structure 212 is set as a guide hole opened at the end of the first guide tube, and the corresponding fourth guide structure 311 is set as the outer periphery of the second guide rod 31, so that the second guide rod 31 is adapted to the guide hole structure opened on the first guide rod 21, so that it can be smoothly inserted into it.

[0081] As can be understood from the above embodiments, the reason why the first crossbar 23 is configured to be movably connected between the two first guide rods 21 in the longitudinal direction, and the second crossbar 33 is configured to be movably connected between the two second guide rods 31 in the longitudinal direction, is mainly because the first extended drying rack 20 and the clothes rack body 10, and the second extended drying rack 30 and the first extended drying rack 20 adopt a plug-in structure. This will cause the first crossbar 23 to be blocked outside the clothes rack body 10 during the process of the first extended drying rack 20 retracting into the clothes rack body 10, and the second crossbar 33 to be blocked outside the first extended drying rack 20 during the process of the second extended drying rack 30 retracting into the first extended drying rack 20, so that the first extended drying rack 20 and the second extended drying rack 30 cannot be fully stored. This embodiment sets both the first crossbar 23 and the second crossbar 33 in a longitudinally movable structural form. This allows the first crossbar 23 to move longitudinally under the action of the clothes rack body 10 during the process of the first extended drying rack 20 retracting into the clothes rack body 10. Similarly, the second crossbar 33 can move longitudinally under the action of the first extended drying rack 20 during the process of the second extended drying rack 30 retracting into the first extended drying rack 20. This serves to avoid misalignment, ensuring that both the first and second extended drying racks 20 and 30 can be fully retracted. It also allows both the first crossbar 23 and the second crossbar 33 to return to their original longitudinal position after the first and second extended drying racks 20 and 30 are extended, thus providing the original drying function.

[0082] Based on any of the above embodiments, a first extended drying rack 20 is provided at each of the opposite ends of the clothes rack body 10, and a second extended drying rack 30 is provided on each of the first extended drying racks 20, so that the clothes rack as a whole can provide a larger drying area when extended. Furthermore, after the above design, the clothes rack can also provide users with more flexible drying options. In actual application scenarios, users can selectively unfold the first extended drying rack 20 and / or the second extended drying rack 30 at one end of the clothes rack to meet the diverse drying needs of users.

[0083] As a further embodiment based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to the appendix to the specification. Figures 1-3 The clothes rack also includes a third extended drying rack 40. As can be seen from the above, since the first extended drying rack 20 and the second extended drying rack 30 both utilize the longitudinal space of the clothes rack, the longitudinal space occupied by the clothes rack in the extended state is relatively large, and the longitudinal lever arm of the clothes rack is also relatively large. Therefore, the third extended drying rack 40 is not suitable to be further installed on the clothes rack in the longitudinal direction. Thus, the third extended drying rack 40 in this embodiment can be movably installed on the clothes rack body 10, or the first extended drying rack 20, or the clothes rack body 10 and the first extended drying rack 20 on one side in the transverse direction, and the third extended drying rack 40 can be extended or retracted in the transverse direction.

[0084] Understandably, the third extension rack 40 is connected to the clothes rack body 10 and / or the first extension rack 20. When the third extension rack 40 is in the extended state, the part of the third extension rack 40 used for hanging clothes is located relatively far away from the clothes rack body 10 and / or the first extension rack 20, providing the user with sufficient operating space and sufficient drying space for clothes. When the third extension rack 40 is in the retracted state, the part of the third extension rack 40 used for hanging clothes is located close to the clothes rack body 10 and / or the first extension rack 20, in order to reduce the space occupied by the clothes rack as a whole in the horizontal direction.

[0085] It is worth mentioning that the main reason why the third extended drying rack 40 in this embodiment is not configured to be movably connected to the second extended drying rack 30 is to reduce the burden on the second extended drying rack 30, so that the gravity of the second extended drying rack 30 acting on the first extended drying rack 20 can be controlled, reducing the risk of damage to the second extended drying rack 30. At the same time, in the embodiment where both ends of the third extended drying rack 40 are connected to the clothes rack body 10 and / or the first extended drying rack 20, the fact that the third extended drying rack 40 is not connected to the second extended drying rack 30 can also reduce the length of the third extended drying rack 40 in the longitudinal direction. This ensures the structural stability of the third extended drying rack 40 to a certain extent while also reducing the overall volume of the clothes rack.

[0086] The third extended drying rack 40 is installed on one side of the clothes rack that can move laterally, so that when it is extended, there is no clothes rack main body 10 or other parts above it, giving it a wider operating space and drying space. This allows it to provide more flexible drying options and also allows the third extended drying rack 40 to dry larger items of clothing, further meeting more drying needs.

[0087] In one embodiment, the clothes rack is provided with the aforementioned third extension rack 40 on both sides of the clothes rack body 10 and / or the first extension rack 20 in the lateral direction. Through a precise guiding and cooperating structure, the third extension rack 40 can maintain the overall balance and stability of the clothes rack during the unfolding or retraction process, ensuring the safety and reliability of the clothes rack when bearing heavy objects and reducing the risk of equipment tilting or deformation.

[0088] As a specific structural form of the third extended drying rack 40, since the third extended drying rack 40 does not utilize the longitudinal space of the clothes rack for expansion and storage, its structure will differ somewhat from the first extended drying rack 20 and the second extended drying rack 30. For example... Figures 2-3 As shown, the third extended drying rack 40 includes a quilt drying rod assembly 41 and at least one third guide rod 42. The quilt drying rod assembly 41 can be used to dry large items such as quilts and sheets, and is usually made of high-strength materials to ensure durability and safety over long-term use. The third guide rod 42 provides additional support for the quilt drying rod assembly 41 and helps to extend the drying rack in the lateral direction. In this embodiment, one end of the third guide rod 42 is connected to the end of the quilt drying rod assembly 41, and the other end of the third guide rod 42 is provided with a fifth guide structure 421 extending in the lateral direction. The length and diameter of the third guide rod 42 may be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not have strict limitations or requirements in this regard.

[0089] Following the above embodiment, one end of the third guide rod 42 is connected to the end of the drying rod assembly 41, and the other end of the third guide rod 42 is provided with a fifth guide structure 421 extending in the lateral direction. Based on the above, it can be understood that the fifth guide structure 421 is used to achieve guiding cooperation between the third extended drying rack 40 and the clothes rack body 10 or the first extended drying rack 20, ensuring the stability and balance of the clothes rack during unfolding or retraction. Therefore, correspondingly, the clothes rack body 10 and / or the first extended drying rack 20 are provided with a sixth guide structure 221 arranged in the lateral direction, and the sixth guide structure 221 and the fifth guide structure are guided and cooperated in the lateral direction.

[0090] like Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, the fifth guide structure 421 in the third guide rod 42 and the sixth guide structure 221 of the clothes rack body 10 and / or the first extended drying rack 20 can be guided in the lateral direction through guide grooves and guide wheels, sliding rails, telescopic rods, etc. For example, in the embodiment where the two are coordinated by guide grooves and guide wheels, one of the fifth guide structure 421 (third guide rod 42) and the sixth guide structure 221 (clothes rack body 10 and / or the first extended drying rack 20) ​​is provided with a guide groove, and the other is correspondingly provided with a guide wheel. The guide wheel can slide smoothly along the guide groove, thereby realizing the lateral reciprocating movement of the third extended drying rack 40. In the embodiment where the two are coordinated by sliding rails, both the fifth guide structure 421 and the sixth guide structure 221 can be designed with sliding rails, and the lateral movement of the third extended drying rack 40 is realized through the sliding connection of the rails. Finally, in the embodiment where the fifth guide structure 421 and the sixth guide structure 221 are coupled via a telescopic rod, the lateral movement of the third extended drying rack 40 can be achieved by extending and retracting the telescopic rod. Of course, besides the three coupling methods mentioned above, the fifth guide structure 421 and the sixth guide structure 221 in this embodiment are not limited to using other methods to achieve the guiding coupling. For example, the lateral guiding coupling between the fifth guide structure 421 and the sixth guide structure 221 can be achieved using magnetic adsorption, snap-fit ​​connection, etc. This embodiment does not impose strict limitations or requirements here.

[0091] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figure 2 , Figure 4 In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the third guide rod 42 is configured as the fifth guide structure 421, and the sixth guide structure 221 is configured as a guide hole extending laterally on the side of the first fixing member 22. In this way, the third guide rod 42 can be movably inserted into the first fixing member 22, thereby realizing the connection of the third extended drying rack 40 to the first extended drying rack 20.

[0092] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment where the third extended drying rack 40 is only connected to the first extended drying rack 20, and the first extended drying rack 20 is provided at both ends of the clothes rack body 10, the quilt drying rod assembly 41 is provided with a third guide rod 42 at both ends. The two ends of the quilt drying rod assembly 41 are respectively connected to the first extended brackets at both ends via the third guide rod 42 in a laterally movable manner. Specifically, since the quilt drying rod assembly 41 needs to follow the telescopic movement of the first extended drying rack 20 on the clothes rack body 10, the quilt drying rod assembly 41 also needs to be designed with a structure that allows for longitudinal telescopic movement, such as... Figures 1-3As shown, the quilt drying rod assembly 41 specifically includes a support rod 411 and a movable rod 412. There can be one or more movable rods 412. When there is only one movable rod 412, one end of the support rod 411 is connected to one of the third guide rods 42, and the other end of the support rod 411 is movably connected to the movable rod 412 (such as by a sleeve). In this way, the end of the movable rod 412 away from the support rod 411 can be connected to another third guide rod 42. When any of the first extension brackets moves longitudinally (the distance between the two first extension brackets changes), the support rod 411 and the movable rod 412 can interact with each other and change their length according to the change in the distance between the two extension brackets. In the case of multiple movable rods 412 (e.g., two), the movable rods 412 can be connected to both ends of the support rod 411 respectively, so that the support rod 411 can be connected to the third guide rod 42 located at both ends through the movable rods 412. This allows the drying rack assembly 41 to provide a relatively large drying area through the support rod 411, avoiding interference caused by the third extended drying rack 40 and the first extended drying rack 20 not being able to form a linkage relationship due to different directions of movement.

[0093] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figure 5 This embodiment also provides a clothes drying device, which includes a main unit 50. The main unit 50 is mainly provided with a shell, which serves as the supporting foundation for the clothes drying device. The shell has sufficient space inside to accommodate the telescopic rack 51 and related components. In addition, a power unit (not shown) is also provided inside (or outside) the shell. It is understood that, depending on the type of clothes drying machine, the power unit can be configured to be electrically driven or manually driven. For example, in an embodiment where the clothes drying device is an electric clothes drying machine, the power unit can be a motor, while in an embodiment where the clothes drying device is a manual clothes rack, the power unit can be a hand crank, etc.

[0094] In this embodiment, the clothes drying equipment also includes a telescopic frame 51 and a clothes drying rack as provided in any of the above embodiments. The first end of the telescopic frame 51 is installed on the main unit 50, and the second end of the telescopic frame 51 is movably installed on the clothes drying rack (as mentioned in the above embodiments, the bracket 12). The clothes drying rack is located below the main unit 50 and is also connected to the power unit through a traction member 52 (such as a wire rope, a transmission belt, etc.).

[0095] In one embodiment, when the clothes drying equipment is an electric clothes drying machine, the first extended drying rack 20, the second extended drying rack 30, and the third extended drying rack 40 in the clothes drying rack can all be configured to achieve reciprocating motion in the corresponding direction by being driven by a drive device. For example, any of the above drying racks can be directly driven by a drive device such as a motor or cylinder. Alternatively, a transmission component (such as a crank-slider mechanism, a gear and rack assembly, etc.) can be added to achieve transmission between the drying rack and the drive device, thereby increasing the motion stability of the corresponding drying rack.
