Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a clothes drying machine, and more specifically, to a clothes drying rod assembly and an electric clothes drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Clothes racks with quilt drying function are made by adding a quilt drying rod to the original clothes drying rod, thus realizing the function of drying quilts on the clothes rack. This type of clothes rack is becoming increasingly popular among consumers.

[0003] Parallel double drying rods are currently one of the most popular types of clothes racks on the market. The drying rod mechanism of this type of clothes rack mainly consists of two parallel and connected main drying rods. Below the main drying rods, a secondary drying rod (quilt drying rod) is installed via a flip-up structure. When not in use, the secondary drying rod is usually flipped and fastened above the main drying rods. When in use, the secondary drying rod needs to be removed from the fastener above the main drying rods. Examples include the "drying assembly and clothes drying machine" disclosed in Chinese patent application CN202211150243.4 and the "a drying rod assembly and drying system" disclosed in Chinese patent CN202323527809.3. In this type of drying rod assembly, the quilt drying rod is installed on the end cap of the rod assembly via a connecting piece. One end of the connecting piece can slide in a groove. When removing the quilt drying rod, it is usually first slightly lifted upwards to disengage it from the positioning groove, and then the quilt drying rod is pulled outwards to suspend it. In existing drying rack assemblies, the drying rods are often restricted to both sides when suspended, as in the aforementioned patent application. This creates a certain distance between the two drying rods to facilitate individual use. However, in practical applications, many users prefer to use both drying rods to support the quilt when drying heavy items like large quilts. The large distance between the two rods makes placing the quilt cumbersome. Some drying rack assemblies extend the drying rods and keep them in the middle, meaning the two rods are close together. This design facilitates simultaneous support with two rods but is inconvenient for individual use. Therefore, in existing drying rack assemblies with drying rods, the extended state of the drying rods cannot be adjusted according to user needs, affecting the ease of use. Summary of the Invention

[0043] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0044] [Example]

[0045] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a clothes drying rod assembly of this embodiment includes a rectangular clothes drying frame 1 and two auxiliary clothes drying rods 2 disposed on both sides of the rectangular clothes drying frame 1. The auxiliary clothes drying rods 2 can be used to dry large items of clothing such as quilts, and therefore can also be called "quilt drying rods". The rectangular clothes drying frame 1 has end plates 1-2 at both ends, and each end plate 1-2 is provided with two sliding grooves 1-2-1. The two sliding grooves 1-2-1 can be symmetrically arranged on the end plates 1-2. Each end of the auxiliary clothes drying rod 2 is connected to a connecting piece 3, which connects the auxiliary clothes drying rod 2 to the rectangular clothes drying frame 1. One end of the connecting piece 3 is slidably disposed in the corresponding sliding groove 1-2-1. Both auxiliary clothes drying rods 2 have a storage state of being flipped and placed on the rectangular clothes drying frame 1 and a use state of being suspended below the rectangular clothes drying frame 1 through the connecting piece 3. In its folded state, the secondary drying rod 2 rests on the rectangular clothes drying frame 1. When in use, the secondary drying rod 2 can be gently lifted upwards and pulled outwards, allowing it to flip downwards. After being flipped and suspended, the secondary drying rod 2 is positioned a certain distance below the rectangular clothes drying frame 1. In this embodiment, the secondary drying rod 2 can slide freely along the slide groove 1-2-1 in its use state to change the distance between the two secondary drying rods 2, facilitating flexible adjustment of their position. This allows the two secondary drying rods 2 to be used separately or together, enriching the usage forms and scenarios of the drying rod assembly. For example, one auxiliary drying rod 2 can be kept in its retracted state, while the other auxiliary drying rod 2 can be flipped up and hung on one side of the rectangular clothes drying frame 1. This allows you to use the auxiliary drying rod 2 to dry large items like quilts while simultaneously using the rectangular clothes drying frame 1 to dry other regular clothing. Alternatively, both auxiliary drying rods 2 can be flipped up and hung on both sides of the rectangular clothes drying frame 1, with the maximum distance between them, allowing you to use only the two auxiliary drying rods 2 for drying. Furthermore, the two auxiliary drying rods 2 can be slid to the lower center of the rectangular clothes drying frame 1, allowing them to support heavier items like quilts, while the sides of the rectangular clothes drying frame 1 can still be used for drying other clothing. In short, because the two auxiliary drying rods 2 can slide and change position freely, users can use them flexibly according to their actual needs. Furthermore, a limiting post 1-2-2 is provided on the end plate 1-2 between the two sliding grooves 1-2-1, and an abutment part 3-2 is provided at the sliding end of the connecting piece 3. When the auxiliary drying rod 2 slides to the position of the limiting post 1-2-2, the abutment part 3-2 can abut against the limiting post 1-2-2 through the rotation of the connecting piece 3, so as to adjust the suspension angle of the auxiliary drying rod 2 to a non-free suspension angle.In other words, under the gravity of the secondary drying rod 2, the suspension angle of the connecting piece 3 in the slide groove 1-2-1 is the natural suspension angle under gravity. Based on this, in this embodiment, the angle of the connecting piece 3 can be changed by using the limiting post 1-2-2 and the abutting part 3-2 of the connecting piece 3, so that it is restricted to a set angle. This allows for adjustment and positioning of the secondary drying rod 2, adding another suspension usage state of the secondary drying rod 2, making the use of the secondary drying rod 2 more flexible and convenient. It meets the functional needs of using the two secondary drying rods 2 individually or jointly to support large items, further improving the practicality of the drying rod assembly and the clothes drying machine using it.

[0046] Figure 4 and Figure 5 The display shows the two auxiliary drying rods 2 at their maximum distance when fully extended. At this time, the auxiliary drying rods 2 are in a free hanging state and can be used alone. Figure 6 and Figure 7 This shows the two auxiliary drying rods in their minimum extended position, which are composed of... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The two auxiliary drying rods 2 slide towards each other to form the state shown. At this time, the auxiliary drying rod 2 is also in a free hanging state. Since the two auxiliary drying rods 2 are close to each other, they can be used at the same time to support heavier items. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The demonstration shows the two auxiliary drying rods 2 in a non-free hanging angle state. At this time, the abutting part 3-2 at the upper end of the connecting piece 3 is blocked by the limiting post 1-2-2, so that the auxiliary drying rod 2 is positioned in the set position, providing another usage state of the auxiliary drying rod 2.

[0047] To further improve the ease of use of the secondary drying rack 2, such as Figure 5 As shown, at least one end of each of the two sliding grooves 1-2-1 is provided with a positioning groove 1-2-1a. The positioning groove 1-2-1a is formed by slightly bending the end of the sliding groove 1-2-1 downwards. When the auxiliary drying rod 2 is in the retracted state and is restricted to a non-free suspension angle by the limiting post 1-2-2, the sliding end of the connecting piece 3 is located in the corresponding positioning groove 1-2-1a, ensuring the positional stability of the auxiliary drying rod 2 in the retracted state and the non-free suspension angle state. (Refer to...) Figure 7 As shown, when the secondary drying rod 2 is in a non-free suspension angle state, since the sliding end of the connecting piece 3 is located in the positioning groove 1-2-1a and is simultaneously abutted by the limiting post 1-2-2, the connecting piece 3 can be stably restricted to a non-free suspension angle state, ensuring the reliability of the secondary drying rod 2's position positioning. Furthermore, as... Figure 7 As shown, the two sliding grooves 1-2-1 also have positioning grooves 1-2-1a at their opposite ends, which improves the positional stability of the auxiliary drying rod 2 when it is suspended at the end of the sliding groove 1-2-1 (refer to the suspension state of the auxiliary drying rod 2 at the end of the sliding groove 1-2-1). Figure 5As shown in the figure, this design prevents the secondary drying rod 2 from sliding randomly during use.

[0048] catch Figure 3 As shown, to ensure the stability of the secondary drying rod 2 in a non-free suspension angle state, a stop block 1-2-3 is also provided on the end plate 1-2 below the limiting post 1-2-2. When the secondary drying rod 2 is restricted to a non-free suspension angle state by the limiting post 1-2-2, the stop block 1-2-3 abuts against the sliding end side wall of the connecting piece 3. (Refer to...) Figure 11 As shown, the stop block 1-2-3 limits the connecting piece 3 from one side, which can share the pressure borne by the limiting post 1-2-2, further improve the abutment support of the connecting piece 3, and ensure the stability and drying load capacity of the secondary drying rod 2 when it is restricted to a non-free suspension angle.

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting piece 3 is preferably L-shaped. The auxiliary drying rod 2 is fixedly connected to the short side of the connecting piece 3, and the long side of the connecting piece 3 is provided with a sliding member 3-1 located in the corresponding groove 1-2-1. The sliding member 3-1 can be a pin or a roller, etc., so that the connecting piece 3 can move stably within the groove 1-2-1. The L-shaped connecting piece 3 can extend the auxiliary drying rod 2 outward, facilitating the storage of the auxiliary drying rod 2 on the rectangular clothes drying frame 1. Figure 2 As shown, in the folded state, the long side of connecting piece 3 is horizontal, and the short side of connecting piece 3 is vertical, making the secondary drying rod 2 more compact when folded. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the corners of the two connecting pieces 3 on the same end plate 1-2 are arranged facing each other and staggered along the length of the secondary drying rod 2. When the secondary drying rod 2 slides freely to the position of the limiting post 1-2-2, the long side wall of the connecting piece 3 tilts and abuts against the limiting post 1-2-2 for limitation, and the lower parts of the two connecting pieces 3 on the same end plate 1-2 overlap each other. In this state, when the connecting piece 3 moves from the outside to the center of the rectangular clothes drying frame 1, the connecting piece 3 is kept in an inclined state by the gravity of the secondary drying rod 2. When the connecting piece 3 approaches the limiting post 1-2-2, the abutting part 3-2 at the end of the connecting piece 3 is raised due to the tilt (see reference). Figure 8 As shown in the diagram, the connecting piece 3 is blocked by the limiting post 1-2-2 before its sliding member 3-1 is fully inserted into the positioning groove 1-2-1a, thus maintaining it in the tilted state. Since the lower parts of the two connecting pieces 3 overlap each other, the two auxiliary drying rods 2 are closer together, making it easier to use the two auxiliary drying rods 2 to support large items such as quilts at the same time, making drying more convenient.

[0050] return Figure 1As shown, in the drying rod assembly, an end cap 1-3 is also provided on the outer side of the end plate 1-2. There is an active gap between the end plate 1-2 and the end cap 1-3 for the connecting piece 3 to slide and rotate. The end cap 1-3 covers the connecting piece 3 and other moving and functional parts, serving both protective and decorative purposes. In addition, the long side of the rectangular clothes drying frame 1 is the clothes rod 1-1. Both the clothes rod 1-1 and the auxiliary clothes rod 2 are telescopic. In the above-mentioned retracted state, the auxiliary clothes rod 2 is located directly above the corresponding clothes rod 1-1. The entire drying rod assembly has a simple and compact structure when retracted, and a larger drying space when unfolded. Several baby care rods 1-5 are also provided between the two clothes rods 1-1, which can be used to hang small items of clothing such as socks.

[0051] This embodiment also discloses an electric clothes drying rack. For example... Figure 12 As shown, the electric clothes drying rack includes a main unit 4 and the aforementioned drying rod assembly. Both ends of the main unit 4 are connected to the rectangular drying frame 1 of the drying rod assembly via lifting connection components 5, which drive the drying rod assembly to move up and down. Both the main unit 4 and the lifting connection components 5 are existing technologies. Two sets of mounting seats 1-4 are provided on the inner side of the rectangular drying frame 1, and the lifting connection components 5 are connected to the corresponding mounting seats 1-4.

[0052] In this embodiment of the electric clothes drying rack, the main unit 4 controls the overall lifting and lowering movement of the drying rod assembly. Figures 4 to 11 The three different position states of the secondary drying rod 2 are shown, which can correspond to different usage scenarios. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The position of the secondary drying rod 2 shown is similar to that of the prior art. The secondary drying rod 2 is suspended below the clothes drying rod 1-1, and can be used independently. Of course, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two secondary drying rods 2 or their relative position on the rectangular clothes drying frame 1, gently lift the secondary drying rod 2 to disengage the sliding member 3-1 of the connecting piece 3 from the corresponding positioning groove 1-2-1a and allow it to slide within the groove 1-2-1. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the two auxiliary drying rods 2 are moved to the middle position of the rectangular clothes drying frame 1, one side of the connecting piece 3 is blocked by the limiting post 1-2-2 and cannot continue to slide. At this time, the distance between the two auxiliary drying rods 2 is the shortest, and large items can be supported by both auxiliary drying rods 2 simultaneously. Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the state shown, when the auxiliary drying rod 2 is rotated outward, the abutment part 3-2 at the end of the connecting piece 3 descends and contacts the limiting post 1-2-2, which blocks its side plate. The sliding part 3-1 of the connecting piece 3 fully enters the corresponding positioning groove 1-2-1a. After the auxiliary drying rod 2 is released, under its own gravity, the auxiliary drying rod 2 swings back to its original position, and the abutment part 3-2 of the connecting piece 3 abuts against the limiting post 1-2-2, thereby keeping the auxiliary drying rod 2 in place. Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown in the diagram, the limiting post 1-2-2 and the stop block 1-2-3 restrict the connecting piece 3 as follows: Figure 11 As shown. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The secondary drying rack 2 shown is located between Figure 5 and Figure 7 Between the two states, and with the positions of the two auxiliary drying rods 2 fixed, large items, such as long bed sheets, can be supported by the two auxiliary drying rods 2 at the same time. This method can reduce the hanging height of the items and prevent them from hanging to the ground.

[0053] In summary, the drying rod assembly and electric clothes drying rack of this utility model allow the secondary drying rods to slide freely along the slide groove during use, thereby changing the distance between the two secondary drying rods. This facilitates flexible adjustment of the secondary drying rod positions, enabling the two secondary drying rods to be used separately or together, enriching the usage forms and scenarios of the drying rod assembly. Furthermore, at the position where the two secondary drying rods are close to each other, the mutual abutment of the limiting post and the connecting piece allows for different position adjustments of the secondary drying rods, adding another hanging usage state for the secondary drying rods. This makes the use of the secondary drying rods more flexible and convenient, meeting the functional needs of using the two secondary drying rods individually or jointly to support large items, further improving the practicality of the drying rod assembly and the clothes drying rack using it.

[0054] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
