[0063] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] Clothes drying racks are closely related to our lives. As a household item used every day, they have now become a necessity for many families.

[0065] Current clothes drying racks typically combine the functions of raising and lowering the drying mechanism with drying and disinfecting clothes. However, in existing drying mechanisms, the hooks are always exposed, affecting the aesthetics of the drying rack.

[0066] The technical solution of this application and how it solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can be referenced, borrowed, or combined with each other, and the same terms, similar features, and similar implementation steps in different embodiments will not be described again.

[0067] Firstly, embodiments of this application provide a clothes drying structure, such as... Figure 1-13 As shown, the clothes drying structure 100 includes: a drying rod 110 and at least two hanging components 120.

[0068] At least two mounting components 120 are arranged along the extension direction of the drying rod 110; each mounting component 120 includes a mounting element 121 and a hook 122; the mounting element 121 is disposed in the cavity of the drying rod 110; the hook 122 is rotatably connected to the mounting element 121; when the hook 122 is configured to be unloaded, it automatically retracts into the cavity of the drying rod 110.

[0069] The clothes drying structure 100 provided in this application embodiment has at least two hanging components 120 arranged along the extension direction of the drying rod 110; the hanging member 121 of the hanging component 120 is located in the cavity of the drying rod 110 and can slide along the extension direction of the drying rod 110; in the reference plane of the extension direction of the drying rod 110, the hook 122 of the hanging component 120 is rotatably connected to the hanging member 121. When clothes are to be dried, all the hanging components 120 are first gathered together, and there is an interaction force between any two adjacent hanging components 120, so that... All hooks 122 of the hanging components 120 are exposed outside the cavity of the drying rod 110, so that clothes can be hung on the hooks 122. After the clothes are hung, all hanging components 120 are unfolded, so that the force between any two adjacent hanging components 120 disappears. The hooks 122 without clothes hanging are automatically retracted into the cavity of the drying rod 110 due to the lack of load. Thus, the hooks 122 can be hidden in the cavity of the drying rod 110 when not in use, thereby reducing the space occupied by the clothes drying structure 100 and reducing the chance of the hooks 122 accidentally snagging items.

[0070] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7-10 and Figure 12-13 The mounting assembly 120 also includes a torsion spring 123; along the extension direction of the drying rod 110, the torsion spring 123 abuts between one end of the hook 122 and one end of the mounting member 121, and the other end of the hook 122 is configured to pass through a slot at the other end of the mounting member 121.

[0071] In this embodiment, the mounting member 121 includes a first part 1211, a second part 1212, and a third part 1213 that are sequentially located away from the first end 111 of the drying rod 110 and connected to each other; the hook 122 includes a fourth part 1221 and a fifth part 1222 that are connected to each other. The first part 1211 is provided with a through groove, and the end of the fourth part 1221 located away from the fifth part 1222 is configured to be able to pass through the through groove; the third part 1213 and the fifth part 1222 are rotatably connected, and a torsion spring 123 abuts between the third part 1213 and the fifth part 1222.

[0072] In this embodiment, the fifth part 1222 of the hook 122 has a groove on the side facing the third part 1213 of the hanger 121. The fifth part 1222 is partially located inside the third part 1213. The sidewall of the groove of the fifth part 1222 and the corresponding position of the third part 1213 have through holes. The pin passes through the through holes of the third part 1213 and the fifth part 1222 in sequence, so that the third part 1213 and the fifth part 1222 are rotatably connected. The torsion spring 123 abuts against the grooves of the third part 1213 and the fifth part 1222. The first part 1211 of the hanger 121 has a through groove, and the end of the fourth part 1221 of the hook 122 away from the fifth part 1222 can be inserted into the through groove of the first part 1211.

[0073] When preparing to hang clothes, all hanging components 120 are first gathered together. During the gathering process, the fifth part 1222 of the hook 122, away from the fourth part 1221, comes into contact with the first part 1211 of the hanging member 121 of the adjacent hanging component 120. The fifth part 1222 of the hook 122 is subjected to the force from the first part 1211 of the adjacent hanging member 121, so that the fifth part 1222 and the third part 1213 rotate relative to each other. The fifth part 1222 drives the fourth part 1221 to rotate, and then the fourth part 1221 passes through the through groove of the first part 1211. Under the action of gravity, the fourth part 1221 is located outside the cavity of the drying rod 110, so that clothes can be hung on the fourth part 1221 of the hook 122. At this time, the torsion spring 123 between the fifth part 1222 of the hook 122 and the third part 1213 of the hanging member 121 is in a compressed state.

[0074] When all the clothes are hung on the hooks 122, all the hanging components 120 are unfolded. The force exerted by the first part 1211 of the hanging member 121 of the adjacent hanging component 120 on the fifth part 1222 of the hook 122 disappears. Under the action of the torsion spring 123, the fourth part 1221 of the hook 122 without clothes is inserted into the through groove of the first part 1211, so that the hook 122 without clothes is hidden in the drying rod 110. Thus, the hook 122 is exposed outside the cavity of the drying rod 110 when in use, and is hidden in the cavity of the drying rod 110 when not in use, making the clothes drying structure 100 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0075] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7-10 and Figure 12-13 The mounting assembly 120 also includes at least one pair of pulleys 124, which are located on both sides of the mounting member 121, and the shafts of the pulleys 124 pass through the mounting member 121 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal section of the drying rod 110.

[0076] A through groove is provided at the bottom of the cavity of the drying rod 110, and the pulley 124 is located inside the cavity and abuts against the walls on both sides of the through groove of the drying rod 110.

[0077] In this embodiment, a pair of pulleys 124 are located on both sides of the hanger 121. The shafts of the pulleys 124 pass through the hanger 121 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal section of the drying rod 110 and are slidably connected to the hanger 121. A through groove parallel to the drying rod 110 is provided at the bottom of the cavity. The pulleys 124 are located in the cavity of the drying rod 110 and abut against the walls on both sides of the through groove of the drying rod 110. Thus, the pulleys 124 move along the through groove of the drying rod 110, driving the hanger assembly 120 to move along the extension direction of the drying rod 110. At the same time, the use of pulleys 124 rolling in the through groove of the drying rod 110 can reduce the friction generated during the movement of the hanger assembly 120 and also reduce noise, thereby improving the user experience. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the drying rod 110 refers to the longitudinal section of the drying rod 110, which is perpendicular to the plane containing the large surface of the main body 20.

[0078] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7-10 As shown, the clothes drying structure 100 also includes: a first guide 131, a second guide 132, and a connector 140.

[0079] The first guide 131 is slidably disposed at the first end 111 near the drying rod 110.

[0080] The second guide 132 is slidably disposed at the second end 112 near the drying rod 110, and moves in the opposite direction to the first guide 131.

[0081] The connector 140 has two ends that are fixedly connected to the first guide 131 and the second guide 132, respectively.

[0082] At least two mounting components 120 are arranged between the first guide 131 and the second guide 132, and both are fixedly connected to the connector 140.

[0083] The clothes drying structure 100 provided in this embodiment has the following configuration along the extension direction of the drying rod 110: a first guide 131 is located on the side of the hanging assembly 120 closest to the first end 111 of the drying rod 110, and a second guide 132 is located on the side of the hanging assembly 120 closest to the second end 112 of the drying rod, near the second end 112. A connector 140 is fixedly connected to all hanging assemblies 120, such that the maximum distance between any two adjacent hanging assemblies 120 along the extension direction of the drying rod 110 is equal. The end of the connector 140 closest to the first end 111 of the drying rod is fixedly connected to the first guide 131, and the end of the connector 140 closest to the second end 112 of the drying rod is fixedly connected to the second guide 132. The first and second guides move in opposite directions.

[0084] Therefore, when clothes are being hung to dry, the first guide 131 and the second guide 132 move to unfold the connecting member 140, causing several hanging components 120 fixed to the connecting member 140 to unfold. When the connecting member 140 is fully unfolded, the distance between any two adjacent hanging components 120 is equal. When clothes are being taken in, the first guide 131 and the second guide 132 contact the outermost hanging component 120, pushing the outermost hanging component 120 to move. The outermost hanging component 120 pushes the adjacent hanging components 120 to move, and so on, so that all hanging components 120 quickly gather in the middle of the drying rod 110. The first guide 131 and the second guide 132 simultaneously push all hanging components 120 to gather in the middle of the drying rod 110, or together drive all hanging components 120 to unfold towards both ends of the drying rod 110, making the gathering or unfolding speed of all hanging components 120 faster, thereby saving time in taking in and drying clothes.

[0085] Optionally, in this embodiment, the connector 140 includes a flexible connecting strip, through which several hanging components 120 are sequentially fixedly connected. This allows any two adjacent hanging components 120 to approach each other to the point of contact, while also limiting the maximum distance between any two adjacent hanging components 120. Connecting all the hanging components 120 together through the connector 140 saves costs and improves the accuracy of the drying position. The connector 140 can also be other structures with foldable properties, which are not limited in this application.

[0086] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7-10 As shown, the clothes drying structure 100 also includes a drive assembly 150 and a transmission assembly 160.

[0087] The drive assembly 150 is located at the first end 111 of the drying rod 110.

[0088] The transmission assembly 160 has one end located at the first end 111 of the drying rod 110 and connected to the output end of the drive assembly 150, and the other end located at the second end 112 of the drying rod 110. The first guide 131 is located in the part of the transmission assembly 160 away from the lifting mechanism 30, and the second guide 132 is located in the part of the transmission assembly 160 close to the lifting mechanism 30.

[0089] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 150 is disposed at the first end 111 of the drying rod 110, one end of the transmission assembly 160 is disposed at the first end 111 of the drying rod 110 and connected to the output end of the drive assembly 150, and the other end of the transmission assembly 160 is disposed at the second end 112 of the drying rod 110. The end of the connector 140 near the first end 111 of the drying rod is fixedly connected to one end of the first guide 131, and the end of the connector 140 near the second end 112 of the drying rod is fixedly connected to one end of the second guide 132. The other ends of both the first guide 131 and the second guide 132 are fixedly connected to the transmission assembly 160.

[0090] Therefore, when clothes are being hung to dry, the drive assembly 150 drives the transmission assembly 160 to move. The movement of the transmission assembly 160 causes the first guide 131 and the second guide 132 to move. The first guide 131 and the second guide 132 cause the connector 140 to unfold, allowing the several hanging assemblies 120 fixed to the connector 140 to unfold. When clothes are being taken in, the drive assembly 150 drives the transmission assembly 160 to move. The movement of the transmission assembly 160 causes the first guide 131 and the second guide 132 to move. The first guide 131 and the second guide 132 come into contact with the outermost hanging assembly 120, pushing the outermost hanging assembly 120 to move. The outermost hanging assembly 120 pushes the adjacent hanging assembly 120 to move, and so on, so that all the hanging assemblies 120 quickly gather in the middle of the drying rod 110.

[0091] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7-10 As shown, the transmission assembly 160 includes: a transmission member 161, a first rotating member 162, and a second rotating member 163.

[0092] The first rotating component 162 is disposed at the first end 111 of the drying rod 110 and is connected to the output end of the drive assembly 150.

[0093] The second rotating component 163 is disposed at the second end 112 of the drying rod 110.

[0094] The transmission component 161 is annularly sleeved on the first rotating component 162 and the second rotating component 163.

[0095] In this embodiment, the first rotating member 162 and the second rotating member 163 include belt pulleys. The transmission member 161 includes a belt. The first rotating member 162 is disposed at the first end 111 of the drying rod 110 and is connected to the output end of the drive assembly 150. The second transmission member 162 is disposed at the second end 112 of the drying rod 110, and the transmission member 161 is arranged in a ring-shaped racetrack around the periphery of the first rotating member 162 and the second rotating member 163. When clothes are hung up, the drive assembly 150 is activated, driving the first rotating member 162 to move, and the first rotating member 162 drives the second rotating member 163 to move through the transmission member 161.

[0096] In this embodiment of the application, in the plane where the transmission member 161 is located, the portion of the transmission assembly 160 away from the lifting mechanism 30 includes the segment where the transmission member 161 moves away from the lifting mechanism 30, and the portion of the transmission assembly 160 close to the lifting mechanism 30 includes the segment where the transmission member 161 moves close to the lifting mechanism 30.

[0097] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7-11 As shown, the first guide 131 includes: a first component 1311 and a second component 1312.

[0098] On a reference plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the drying rod 110, the projection of the first component 1311 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the mounting assembly 120.

[0099] The second component 1312 is fixedly connected to the transmission component 161.

[0100] In this embodiment, the first guide 131 and the second guide 132 have the same structure. The second guide 132 includes a first component 1321 and a second component 1322. On a reference plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the drying rod 110, the projection of the first component 1321 of the second guide 132 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the hanging assembly 120. The second component 1322 of the second guide 132 is fixedly connected to the transmission component 161. When clothes are collected, the drive assembly 150 drives the transmission assembly 160 to move. The movement of the transmission assembly 160 causes the first guide 131 and the second guide 132 to move. The first component 1311 of the first guide 131 is in at least partial contact with the adjacent hanging assembly 120, and the first component 1321 of the second guide 132 is in at least partial contact with the adjacent hanging assembly 120, thereby pushing the adjacent hanging assembly 120 to move. The hanging assembly 120 that has started to move continues to push the adjacent hanging assembly 120 that has not moved to move, and so on, so that all the hanging assemblies 120 are gathered together.

[0101] In this embodiment, the connection methods between the first component 1311 and the second component 1312 of the first guide 131, and between the first component 1321 and the second component 1322 of the second guide 132, include snap-fit ​​and plug-in connections. A through groove is provided between the second component 1312 of the first guide 131 and a portion of the first component 1311, and a through groove is provided between the second component 1322 of the second guide 132 and a portion of the first component 1321. The transmission component 161 passes sequentially through the through grooves of the first guide 131 and the second guide 132, and is fixedly connected to the second component 1312 and a portion of the first component 1311 of the first guide 131, and is also fixedly connected to the second component 1322 and a portion of the first component 1321 of the second guide 132.

[0102] In this embodiment, along a direction perpendicular to the drying rod 110, the through groove of the first guide 131 and the through groove of the second guide 132 are respectively disposed on different sides of the transmission member 161.

[0103] Optionally, in this embodiment, the connector 140 is disposed in the cavity of the drying rod 110, one end of the connector 140 is fixedly connected to the first component 1311 of the first guide 131, and the other end of the connector 140 is fixedly connected to the first component 1321 of the second guide 132.

[0104] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1-10 As shown, the drive assembly 150 includes a drive member 151 and a control member 152; the drive member 151 is disposed at the first end 111 of the drying rod 110, and the power output end of the drive member 151 is connected to the first rotating member 162 of the transmission assembly 160; along the first direction a, the control member 152 is disposed at one end of the first rotating member 162, and the first direction a is perpendicular to the extension direction of the drying rod 110.

[0105] In this embodiment, the driving component 151 can be a geared motor, and the output shaft of the geared motor is connected to the first rotating component 162. The first rotating component 162 can be a wheel. The motor drives the wheel at the first rotating component 162. There is friction between the transmission component 161 and the wheel. Under the action of friction, the transmission component 161 rotates with the wheel at the first rotating component 162. The stroke of the transmission component 161 is related to the number of rotations of the first rotating component 162. The start of the driving component 151 is controlled by an external signal, which includes button signals, voice signals, or gesture signals input by the user. After the user issues a button signal, voice signal, or gesture signal, the main control board of the clothes dryer receives the signal and transmits it to the driving component 151, thereby controlling the start of the driving component 151.

[0106] In this embodiment, the control element 152 is used to acquire the rotation stroke signal of the first rotating element 162. The stroke signal of the first rotating element 162 is related to the number of rotations of the first rotating element 162. The control element 152 compares the acquired stroke signal of the first rotating element 162 with a preset stroke threshold to control the opening and closing of the drive element 151 and its operating direction. In this embodiment, the control element 152 may be a Hall effect P-plate. In this embodiment, the clothes drying structure 100 also includes a magnetic element (not shown in the figure). The magnetic element is disposed on the first rotating element 162, and the control element 152 is disposed on the side of the magnetic element away from the first rotating element 162. The magnetic element rotates with the first rotating element 162, but the control element 152 does not rotate with the first rotating element 162. The control element 152 senses the change in the magnetic field of the magnetic element during the rotation of the first rotating element 162 to acquire the number of rotations of the first rotating element 162. This application achieves electric control through the cooperation of the drive component 151 and the control component 152, enabling one-stop clothes drying and collection without manual operation by the user. Clothes can be controlled via buttons or voice commands, and the drying and collection positions are accurate, convenient, and quick. Furthermore, this application uses Hall effect sensors to control the stroke, eliminating the need for a motor stall / stop device, thus protecting the motor and extending its service life.

[0107] Optionally, before drying clothes, the user can first gather the hanging components 120 on the drying rod 110 together. The hooks 122 of the hanging components 120 are exposed outside the cavity of the drying rod 110 under the action of the hanging parts 121 of the adjacent hanging components 120. The user can hang the clothes to be dried on the hooks 122. After the user has placed the clothes to be dried, the user sends an unfolding signal. The main control board of the clothes dryer receives the signal and transmits the signal to the controller 152. The controller 152 controls the drive 151 to start. The drive 151 rotates and drives the first rotating part 162 to rotate. The first rotating part 162 drives the second rotating part 163 to rotate through the transmission part 161, so that the first guide part 131 and the second guide part 132 rotate. The first rotating part 162 and the second rotating part 163 drive the connecting part 140 to move. The connecting part 140 drives the hanging components 120 to unfold. The controller 152 obtains the stroke signal. When the preset stroke is reached, it controls the drive 151 to close. After the connector 140 is fully straightened, the distance between any two adjacent hanging components 120 along the extension direction of the drying rod 110 is equal. At this time, the interaction force between adjacent hanging components 120 disappears, and the hooks 122 without clothes are automatically retracted into the cavity of the drying rod 110 under the action of the torsion spring 123, so that the hooks 122 are hidden in the drying rod 110 when not in use, making the clothes drying structure 100 more beautiful.

[0108] When a user collects clothes, they send a signal to collect the clothes. The main control board of the clothes dryer receives the signal and transmits it to the controller 152. The controller 152 then controls the drive unit 151 to start, causing the drive unit 151 to rotate. At this time, the rotation direction of the drive unit 151 is opposite to that of the drive unit 151 when it is unfolded. The drive unit 151 drives the first rotating component 162 to rotate, and the first rotating component 162 drives the second rotating component 163 to rotate through the transmission component 161, causing the first guide component 131 and the second guide component 132 to rotate. At this time, the first guide component 131 and the second guide component 132 move in the opposite direction to their movement direction when unfolded. The first rotating component 162 and the second rotating component 163 come into contact with the adjacent hanging components 120, pushing the hanging components 120 to move. This process continues until all the hanging components 120 are brought together. The controller 152 receives the stroke signal, and when the preset stroke is reached, it controls the drive unit 151 to shut down.

[0109] Optionally, in this embodiment, the drive assembly 150 further includes a drive box 153, and the drive member 151 is disposed within the drive box 153. The clothes drying structure 100 further includes a first drying rod member 180, and both the first drying rod member 180 and the drive box 153 are disposed at the first end 111 of the drying rod 110; along the first direction a, the first drying rod member 180 is disposed on the side of the drive box 153 away from the lifting mechanism 30. The drive box 153 includes a drive body portion 1531 and a cover 1532; along the first direction a, the cover 1532 of the drive box is disposed on the side of the body portion 1531 away from the first drying rod member 180. The cover 1532 of the drive box and the body portion 1531 can be fixedly connected by bolts, screws, or other means.

[0110] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 and Figure 7-10 As shown, the clothes drying structure 100 also includes a detection element 170; at least a portion of the detection element 170 is located in a through groove on one side of the first end 111 of the clothes drying rod 110.

[0111] On a reference plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the drying rod 110, the projection of the detection element 170 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first component 1311 of the first guide 131.

[0112] In this embodiment, along the extending direction of the drying rod 110, the first drying rod member 180 has a through groove corresponding to the cavity shape of the drying rod 110 on the side near the first end 111 of the drying rod. The transmission member 161 passes through the corresponding through groove on the first drying rod member and is wound around the first rotating member 162. The clothes drying structure 100 also includes a detection member 170, which is disposed inside the first drying rod member 180. Along the extending direction of the drying rod 110, one side of the detection member 170 abuts against an inner wall of the first drying rod member 180, and the other side of the detection member 170 is located in the through groove on the side of the first drying rod member 180 near the first end 111 of the drying rod. Along the extension direction of the drying rod 110, the projection of the detection element 170 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first component 1311 of the first guide 131. When the first guide 131 moves to the first end 111 of the drying rod 110, the first guide 131 comes into contact with the detection element 170, thereby stopping the drive element 151 from moving.

[0113] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second drying rod 190 includes a main body 191 and a cover 192. Along the first direction a, the opening of the main body 191 faces the lifting mechanism 30. The cover 192 is located on the side of the main body 191 near the lifting mechanism 30, covering the opening of the main body 191. The main body 191 and the cover 192 can be fixedly connected by bolts, screws, etc. A second rotating member 163 is disposed within the main body 191. The main body 191 contains a rotating shaft and an elastic element connected to the second rotating member 163, allowing the second rotating member 163 to rotate. Along the extension direction of the drying rod 110, the main body 191 of the second drying rod member is provided with a through groove on the side near the second end 112 of the drying rod 110, so that the transmission member 161 can pass through the through groove on the main body 191 of the second drying rod member and be wound around the second rotating member 163, so that the first rotating member 162 drives the second rotating member 163 to move through the transmission member 161.

[0114] Secondly, this application provides a clothes drying rack, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1-5 As shown, the clothes drying rack includes a main body 20, a lifting mechanism 30, and a clothes rack 10. The lifting mechanism 30 is disposed between the main body 20 and the clothes rack 10. The clothes rack 10 includes at least one of the clothes drying structures 100 described in the first aspect above.

[0115] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 30 is disposed between the main body 20 and the clothes rack 10. The lifting mechanism 30 is used to control the clothes rack 10 to move closer to or further away from the main body 20, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the clothes rack 10. The clothes rack 10 includes two parallel clothes drying structures 100. Users can use the clothes drying structures 100 to quickly and automatically gather and unfold clothes for drying, as well as hide the hooks 122, improving the labor efficiency of manually drying clothes, enhancing the convenience of use, and making the clothes drying rack more aesthetically pleasing.

[0116] By applying the embodiments of this application, at least the following beneficial effects can be achieved:

[0117] 1. The clothes drying structure 100 provided in this application embodiment has at least two hanging components 120 arranged along the extension direction of the drying rod 110; the hanging member 121 of the hanging component 120 is located in the cavity of the drying rod 110 and can slide along the extension direction of the drying rod 110; in the reference plane of the extension direction of the drying rod 110, the hook 122 of the hanging component 120 is rotatably connected to the hanging member 121. When clothes are to be dried, all the hanging components 120 are first gathered together, and there is an interaction force between any two adjacent hanging components 120. This allows all the hooks 122 of the hanging components 120 to protrude outside the cavity of the drying rod 110, so that clothes can be hung on the hooks 122. After the clothes are hung, all the hanging components 120 are unfolded, so that the force between any two adjacent hanging components 120 disappears. The hooks 122 without clothes hanging on them automatically retract into the cavity of the drying rod 110 because they are unloaded. Thus, when the hooks 122 are not in use, they can be hidden in the cavity of the drying rod 110, thereby reducing the space occupied by the clothes drying structure 100 and reducing the chance of the hooks 122 accidentally snagging items.
