Abstract
Description
A trouser clip, trouser hanger and garment care device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a trouser clip, a trouser hanger, and a garment care device. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, people's demand for and requirements for clothing care are constantly increasing; clothing care machines can automatically deodorize, smooth, and iron clothes, making them look clean and new, and are therefore very popular.
[0003] For trousers, a hanging hanger is typically used to hold and fix them within the care chamber before the care process is performed. A typical hanging hanger structure includes symmetrically arranged elastic clips and a return spring assembly. In practice, the user needs to apply force with one hand to overcome the spring resistance to open the elastic clip, while simultaneously adjusting the corresponding positions on both sides of the waistband with the other hand for positioning and clamping. For example, Chinese patent application number 201921768181.7 discloses a trouser clamping device for a garment care machine, including a frame formed by bending cold-drawn steel wire into a closed rectangular shape. The frame is equipped with trouser clips for clamping trousers and a hook device securely connected to a swing frame. However, this solution has the following shortcomings: 1. A single clamping action requires the coordinated operation of both hands; when the user is supporting the trousers to be hung with one hand, it is difficult to simultaneously complete the opening and closing of the clamping mechanism; 2. The clamping force is not stable enough for fabrics of different thicknesses, easily leading to localized wrinkles or clamping failure.
[0004] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The problem solved by this invention is that the existing trouser clips have an unreasonable structure, which makes them unable to hold heavy clothing securely and easy to fall off, especially during clothing care.
[0006] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a trouser clip, including a main body. The main body includes a mounting plate and a mating plate arranged at intervals. The trouser clip also includes a clamping arm, which is rotatably disposed on the mounting plate. The clamping arm is located between the mounting plate and the mating plate and is inclined upward. The free end of the clamping arm is close to and cooperates with the mating plate to achieve clamping.
[0007] When the trousers are placed between the mounting plate and the mating plate from bottom to top, the clamping arm will automatically move upward without any additional pressing action, making operation simple. When the trousers are clamped and dragged by gravity or external force, the distance between the clamping arm and the mating plate will automatically decrease due to the mechanical properties of the tilt angle, forming a clamping effect similar to "the more you pull, the tighter it gets". This significantly improves the ability to prevent trousers from falling off, especially for thicker or wet trousers, and significantly improves the user's trouser care experience.
[0008] Preferably, the trouser clip further includes a reset component and a plug-in rod, and a clearance groove is provided in the middle position of the clamping arm to accommodate the reset component; the clamping arm and the reset component are sleeved on the plug-in rod, and the two ends of the plug-in rod are respectively limited and assembled with the two sides of the mounting plate.
[0009] This design allows the clamping arm to rotate axially along the plug rod, while the reset component in the middle position provides a stable restoring force when the clamping arm rotates away from the mating plate, ensuring that the clamping arm always has a clamping force close to the mating plate, preventing trousers made of special fabrics from falling off due to low friction.
[0010] Preferably, the trouser clip further includes a force-applying rod, which is located on the side of the mounting plate away from the mating plate and is fixedly connected to the clamping arm, so that the force-applying rod rotates synchronously with the clamping arm.
[0011] This setup allows the clamping arm to overcome the spring force of the reset component and move away from the mating plate by applying force to the lever, making it easier to clamp the trousers. Similarly, when the trousers are thick, the clamping force between the clamping arm and the mating plate is large and may even cause jamming, making it difficult to remove. In this case, applying force to the lever can rotate the clamping arm, thus allowing the trousers to be removed smoothly.
[0012] Preferably, the main body is provided with an assembly hole and a groove. The assembly hole extends along the length direction of the rotation axis of the clamping arm, and the groove is located on the side of the assembly hole near the mating plate. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of the trouser clip to form a care trouser holder, while the groove further reduces the weight of the trouser clip while ensuring that the mechanical strength meets the standards.
[0013] This utility model also provides a care trouser rack, including a fixedly connected hanging component and a crossbar, wherein the hanging component is located in the middle of the crossbar, and trouser clips are respectively provided at both ends of the crossbar.
[0014] This design makes the nursing trouser rack conform to the balance habits of everyday hanging items. Users can simply hang the nursing trouser rack in the nursing space, aligning it directly with the hook to complete the hanging process, without the need for deliberate position adjustments, making the operation simple and quick; and the centered placement of the hook ensures that the force is relatively evenly distributed at both ends of the crossbar, effectively preventing the risk of the trouser rack tilting, wobbling, or even falling due to excessive weight on one side.
[0015] Preferably, the trouser clip is movable relative to the hook along the crossbar. This arrangement allows the trouser hanger to adapt to different waistband widths, thus broadening its application range.
[0016] Preferably, the hanger is provided with reinforcing parts on both sides, and the reinforcing parts are sleeved on the outer periphery of the crossbar and are integrally formed with the hanger.
[0017] This design effectively disperses and withstands bending stress, preventing the hanger from bending and deforming due to excessive force, thus ensuring the straightness and stability of the trouser rack. The reinforcement tightly wraps around the outer periphery of the crossbar, increasing the contact area and friction between them, reducing gaps and looseness, preventing relative sliding or separation between the crossbar and the hanger, and improving structural safety. The integrated reinforcement makes the transition between the hanger and the crossbar more natural and smooth, resulting in a simpler and more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.
[0018] Preferably, the top and bottom of the hanging component are respectively provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and a gas pipe is provided inside the hanging component to connect the air inlet and the air outlet. This arrangement allows gas, especially hot air, to reach the surface of the pants more quickly, accelerating the evaporation of moisture and thus significantly shortening the drying time of the pants; while the gas pipe ensures stable downward transmission of hot air, so that hot air is discharged from the air outlet at a stable speed and temperature, continuously providing the heat required for drying the pants, making the drying process more efficient and stable.
[0019] Preferably, there are two air outlets located on both sides of the crossbar. This arrangement allows hot air to be blown out from both sides of the trousers to be cared for simultaneously, forming a surrounding drying airflow, which significantly increases the contact area between the hot air and the trousers, effectively avoiding drying dead spots and significantly shortening the drying time; regardless of the hanging angle, at least one air outlet can be directly aimed at the trousers and continuously provide hot air, further reducing the requirements for the hanging posture of the trousers.
[0020] This utility model also provides a garment care device, including a frame and the aforementioned garment care rack. The top of the frame is provided with a mounting base, and the garment care rack includes a hanging member. The upper part of the hanging member is provided with a hanging portion for detachable connection with the mounting base.
[0021] This setup is incredibly simple: just align the upper part of the hook with the mounting bracket on top of the frame and hang it up. Installation is a breeze, greatly reducing the difficulty and making it easy even for first-time users. For example, in a home environment, users can quickly attach the garment hanger to the clothing care device without needing professional assistance.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the trouser clip, trouser hanger, and garment care device described in this utility model embodiment have the following beneficial effects: 1) When the trouser clip holds trousers, the trousers will be dragged by gravity or external force, and the distance between the holding arm and the mating plate will tend to decrease, forming a "tightening" effect, which significantly improves the ability to prevent trousers that are thick or wet from falling off, and significantly improves the user's trouser care experience; 2) By setting a reset member, a stable restoring force can be provided when the trouser clip holds trousers, ensuring that the holding arm always has a clamping force close to the mating plate, preventing trousers made of special fabrics from falling off due to low friction; 3) The set force-adding rod helps the holding arm overcome the elasticity of the reset member and move away from the mating plate, making it easier to complete the clamping action; when the trousers are thick, the clamping force between the holding arm and the mating plate is large or even jammed and difficult to remove, applying force to the force-adding rod can make the holding arm rotate, thereby smoothly removing the trousers.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the technical features of the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of 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.
[0032] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0033] In the field of garment care, trousers are a common type of clothing worn daily. Hanging and drying trousers on hangers is an effective way to maintain their shape, extend their lifespan, and improve their appearance. Specifically, the user needs to apply force to open the trouser clip 1, then place one corner of the trousers in the middle of the clip 1 and hold it in place. However, due to the limited clamping force of the clip 1, steam can soak the trousers during the care process, increasing their weight and making them more prone to slipping off, especially with thicker trousers. This can affect the final care effect and user satisfaction. Therefore, the applicant proposes the following technical solution:
[0034] As shown in Figures 1-5, a trouser clip 1 includes a main body 11. The main body 11 includes a mounting plate 111 and a mating plate 112 arranged at intervals. The trouser clip 1 also includes a clamping arm 12. The clamping arm 12 is rotatably disposed on the mounting plate 111. The clamping arm 12 is located between the mounting plate 111 and the mating plate 112 and is inclined upward. The free end of the clamping arm 12 is close to and cooperates with the mating plate 112 to perform clamping.
[0035] When the trousers are placed between the mounting plate 111 and the mating plate 112 from bottom to top, the clamping arm 12 will automatically move upward without any additional pressing action, making operation simple. When the trousers are clamped and dragged by gravity or external force, the distance between the clamping arm 12 and the mating plate 112 will automatically decrease due to the mechanical properties of the tilt angle, forming a clamping effect similar to "the more you pull, the tighter it gets". This significantly improves the ability to prevent trousers from falling off, especially for thicker or wet trousers, and significantly improves the user's trouser care experience.
[0036] Furthermore, the clamping arm 12 automatically adjusts its tilt angle to accommodate trousers of different thicknesses, ensuring uniform pressure distribution on the contact surface between the pressing part 121 and the mating plate 112 during clamping, thus avoiding localized wrinkling problems caused by traditional spring clamping. Preferably, the mounting plate 111 and the mating plate 112 are arranged parallel to each other. This arrangement creates an assembly space between them for mounting structures such as the clamping arm 12, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.
[0037] Preferably, the trouser clip 1 further includes a reset member 13 and a plug rod 15. A relief groove 122 is provided at the middle position of the clamping arm 12 to accommodate the reset member 13. The clamping arm 12 and the reset member 13 are sleeved on the plug rod 15, and the two ends of the plug rod 15 are respectively limited and assembled with the two sides of the mounting plate 111.
[0038] This configuration allows the clamping arm 12 to rotate axially along the insertion rod 15. Simultaneously, when the clamping arm 12 rotates away from the mating plate 112, the reset member 13, located in the middle position, provides a stable restoring force, ensuring that the clamping arm 12 always maintains a clamping force close to the mating plate 112, preventing trousers made of special fabrics from slipping off due to low friction. The assembly of the insertion rod 15 with the clamping arm 12 and the reset member 13 is prior art and will not be described further here.
[0039] Preferably, the reset element 13 is a torsion spring. The direction of the rotational reset force of the torsion spring is completely coincident with the rotation axis of the clamping arm 12 about the plug rod 15, thereby maximizing the closing torque applied to the free end of the clamping arm 12.
[0040] Preferably, the trouser clip 1 further includes a force-applying rod 14, which is located on the side of the mounting plate 111 away from the mating plate 112 and is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 12, so that the force-applying rod 14 and the clamping arm 12 rotate synchronously.
[0041] This setup allows the clamping arm 12 to overcome the elastic force of the reset member 13 and move away from the mating plate 112 by applying force to the lever 14, making it easier to clamp the trousers. Similarly, when the trousers are thick, the clamping force between the clamping arm 12 and the mating plate 112 is large and may even cause jamming, making it difficult to remove. In this case, applying force to the lever 14 can make the clamping arm 12 rotate, thereby successfully removing the trousers.
[0042] As an example of this utility model, the clamping arm 12 is provided with a pressing part 121 at one end near the mating plate 112, and the mating plate 112 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 1122 at positions corresponding to the pressing part 121. This arrangement can enhance the friction between the mating plate 112, the clamping arm 12 and the pants to be clamped, ensuring that the pants will not easily fall off.
[0043] As an example of this utility model, the clamping arm 12 and the force-applying rod 14 are integrally formed, wherein the clamping arm 12 is generally arc-shaped, and the force-applying rod 14 extends obliquely upward. Preferably, the force-applying rod 14 is hollow. This design can save raw materials and reduce the weight of the trouser clip 1, which is beneficial to achieving lightweighting.
[0044] Preferably, the mating plate 112 has a reinforcing rib 1121 on the side away from the mounting plate 111, and the reinforcing rib 1121 is located on the outer periphery of the mating plate 112. This arrangement can further increase the mechanical strength of the mating plate 112 and improve its service life.
[0045] Preferably, the main body 11 is provided with an assembly hole 113 and a groove 114. The assembly hole 113 extends in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the clamping arm 12, and the groove 114 is located on the side of the assembly hole 113 near the mating plate 112. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of the trouser clip 1 to form a care trouser holder, while the groove 114 can further reduce the weight of the trouser clip 1 while ensuring that the mechanical strength meets the standards.
[0046] This utility model also provides a nursing trouser rack, including a fixedly connected hanging piece 2 and a crossbar 3. The hanging piece 2 is located in the middle of the crossbar 3, and the trouser clips 1 are respectively provided at both ends of the crossbar 3.
[0047] This design makes the nursing trouser rack conform to the balance habits of everyday hanging items. Users can simply hang the nursing trouser rack in the nursing space by aligning it with the hook, without needing to deliberately adjust the position, making the operation simple and quick; and the centered placement of the hook 2 ensures that the force is relatively evenly distributed at both ends of the crossbar 3, effectively preventing the risk of the trouser rack tilting, swaying, or even falling due to excessive weight on one side.
[0048] As an example of this utility model, the hanging member 2 is provided with reinforcing parts 24 on both sides. The reinforcing parts 24 are sleeved on the outer periphery of the crossbar 3 and are integrally formed with the hanging member 2. This arrangement can effectively disperse and bear bending stress, prevent the hanging member 2 from bending and deforming due to excessive force, and ensure the straightness and stability of the trouser hanger. The reinforcing parts 24 tightly wrap around the outer periphery of the crossbar 3, which can increase the contact area and friction between the two, reduce the gap and looseness between them, prevent relative sliding or separation between the crossbar 3 and the hanging member 2, and improve the safety of the structure. The integrally formed reinforcing parts 24 can make the transition between the hanging member 2 and the crossbar 3 more natural and smooth, and the overall appearance is more concise and beautiful.
[0049] Preferably, the trouser clip 1 is movable relative to the hook 2 along the crossbar 3. This arrangement allows the trouser hanger to adapt to different waistband widths, thus having a wide range of applications.
[0050] Preferably, the top and bottom of the hanging component 2 are respectively provided with an air inlet 21 and an air outlet 22. The air inlet 21 is used to introduce care gas, and the air outlet 22 is used to output care gas. The care gas can be at least one of steam, hot air, cold air, fragrance, and atomized cleaning agent, thereby supporting multiple care modes for clothing, such as steam wrinkle removal, hot air drying, cold air shaping, fragrance deodorization, and atomized cleaning agent descaling, improving the user experience. A gas pipe is opened in the hanging component 2 to connect the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22. This setting allows the care gas, especially hot air, to reach the surface of the pants more quickly, accelerating the evaporation of moisture and significantly shortening the drying time of the pants; while the gas pipe ensures stable downward transmission of hot air, so that the hot air is discharged from the air outlet 22 at a stable speed and temperature, continuously providing the heat required for drying the pants, making the drying process more efficient and stable.
[0051] It should be noted that the air inlet 21 can be connected to the hot air generating component of the garment care device. For example, an interface is provided on the mounting base of the garment care device, and hot air is introduced by connecting with the air inlet 21. Its specific structure and assembly relationship are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0052] Preferably, there are two air outlets 22 located on both sides of the crossbar 3. This arrangement allows hot air to be blown out from both sides of the trousers to be cared for simultaneously, forming a surrounding drying airflow, which significantly increases the contact area between the hot air and the trousers, effectively avoiding drying dead spots and significantly shortening the drying time; regardless of the hanging angle, at least one air outlet 22 can be directly aimed at the trousers and continuously provide hot air, further reducing the requirements for the hanging posture of the trousers.
[0053] Because hot air is directed to both sides of the trousers, they remain relatively flat during the drying process. Compared to traditional drying methods, the trousers are straighter after drying, better maintaining their shape and appearance. This also avoids localized overheating and damage to the fabric caused by concentrated hot air blowing on a single area. The trousers are typically symmetrical and have a certain width, and the design of the air outlets 22 on both sides of the horizontal bar 3 conforms to the natural shape of the trousers. The hot air can be evenly distributed along the contours of the trousers, meeting the airflow requirements of trousers in a natural hanging state. This allows the hot air to more effectively reach all parts of the trousers, improving the adaptability of the drying structure to the shape of the trousers.
[0054] Preferably, the outer periphery of the hook member 2 is provided with a hooking part 23, the hooking part 23 includes a guide groove, the garment care device includes a mounting base, the lower part of the mounting base is provided with a guide rod, the guide rod can cooperate with the guide groove, thereby supporting the garment hanger after it is assembled; the guide rod is inclined and the free end of the guide rod is higher than the other end.
[0055] This arrangement ensures that the direction of removal or installation of the nursing trouser holder relative to the mounting base is at an angle to the horizontal direction, and the nursing trouser holder will only detach from the mounting base when subjected to an external force that tilts along the guide rod direction.
[0056] This utility model also provides a garment care device, including a frame with a mounting base at the top. The garment care hanger includes a hook 2, with a hooking part 23 on its upper part for detachable connection to the mounting base. This design allows for easy installation by simply aligning the hooking part 23 on the upper part of the hook 2 with the mounting base at the top of the frame and gently hooking it on, greatly reducing installation difficulty and making it easy for even first-time users. For example, in a home environment, users can quickly install the garment care hanger onto the garment care device without professional assistance.
[0057] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
