Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of clothes drying rack technology, and more specifically, to a clothes drying rack and its assembled lighting fixture. Background Technology
[0002] Natural drying of clothes is greatly affected by the environment. Damp, rainy weather and sandstorms are unsuitable for ventilated drying. Furthermore, with social development and urbanization, housing may only offer enclosed balconies or lack balconies altogether. Some people actively choose housing with enclosed balconies, creating a demand for clothes drying functions that can be automated. If the automated drying process is not timely or thorough, clothes are prone to mold growth, leading to odors, yellowing, or discoloration. Related technologies using disinfection light can significantly improve this problem; however, if the light disinfection component is too small, the power or irradiation area may be insufficient to meet disinfection requirements. Conversely, if the component is too large, the clothes dryer's appearance will be unsightly. The lighting components on clothes dryers face similar issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application addresses the shortcomings of existing methods by proposing a clothes drying rack and its assembled lighting fixture, thereby solving the technical problem that the lighting fixture on the clothes drying rack is difficult to conceal in related technologies.
[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a prefabricated lighting fixture, which includes an elongated mounting groove, a light strip fixed in the mounting groove, and a decorative cover fixed to the front end of the light strip's illumination face; the mounting groove includes a first groove for accommodating the light strip, and a second groove arranged parallel to the first groove, the second groove being used to assist in realizing the illumination function of the light strip.
[0005] Alternatively, the first groove has a semi-closed cross-section, and the edge of the first groove is configured with a reverse hook structure for assembling the decorative cover; the two sides of the decorative cover are configured with slot structures that match the reverse hook structure.
[0006] Alternatively, the decorative cap may be configured with an optical decorative layer.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the first groove serves as the first mounting surface, used to connect the mounting groove and the fixing interface.
[0008] Alternatively, the first slot may be provided with a first positioning hole, through which the light strip is connected to the mounting slot.
[0009] Alternatively, the cross-section of the second groove is a fully enclosed structure; a second positioning hole is provided on either side wall of the second groove as a second mounting surface.
[0010] Furthermore, the mounting groove is connected to the fixing interface through the second positioning hole and / or the openings at both ends of the second groove.
[0011] Alternatively, the mounting groove may be integrally formed.
[0012] Secondly, this application also provides a clothes drying rack, which includes a main unit and a drying assembly. The main unit is equipped with a light disinfection assembly and / or a lighting assembly, and the light disinfection assembly and / or the lighting assembly respectively adopt the assembled lamps as described above.
[0013] Alternatively, the light disinfection component and / or lighting component may be invisible when not turned on.
[0014] The beneficial technical effects of the technical solutions provided in this application include:
[0015] (1) The assembled lamp provided in this application is configured with an installation slot having a first slot and a second slot, wherein the first slot is used to accommodate the light strip and the second slot is used to assist in realizing the illumination function of the light strip. The cooperation between the first slot and the second slot makes the lamp have a certain degree of independence and makes it easy to achieve concealed assembly.
[0016] (2) The prefabricated lamp provided in this application has a first slot as a semi-enclosed structure to facilitate the detachable assembly of the light strip, and a second slot as a fully enclosed structure to provide a cavity for assembly or buffering.
[0017] (3) The clothes drying rack provided in this application can use the swing blades to cover the assembled lamps.

[0025] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary descriptions for explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
[0026] Those skilled in the art will understand that, unless specifically stated otherwise, the terms "described" and "the" as used herein may also include plural forms. It should be further understood that the term "comprising" as used in the specification of this application means the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but does not exclude other features, information, data, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof supported by the art. The term "and / or" as used herein refers to at least one of the items defined by the term; for example, "A and / or B" can be implemented as "A," or as "B," or as "A and B."
[0027] 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.
[0028] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The assembled lighting fixture of this application is adapted to a general LED light strip 2 structure and is configured as a longitudinal structure. Specifically, it includes a longitudinal mounting groove 1, a light strip 2 fixed in the mounting groove 1, and a decorative cover 3 fixed to the front end of the light strip 2.
[0029] In one possible implementation, the mounting slot 1 is divided into a first slot 11 and a second slot 12, which are arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction. The first slot 11 is used to accommodate the light strip 2, and the second slot 12 is used to assist in achieving the illumination function.
[0030] The cross-sectional outlines of the first groove 11 and the second groove 12 are approximately rectangular, with the long side serving as the primary mounting surface. The cross-section of the first groove 11 is a semi-closed structure, lacking one long side, with the only long side serving as the groove bottom and the first mounting surface 111; the cross-section of the second groove 12 is a fully enclosed structure, adapting to assembly requirements, and any sidewall of the second groove 12 can serve as a mounting surface, but it is preferred to use the long side as the second mounting surface 121.
[0031] In this embodiment, the light strip 2 can be an LED light strip. The LED light strip includes a control circuit board 21 and LED beads 22 dispersed and fixed on the surface of the circuit board 21. The spectrum emitted by the LED beads 22 is determined by their semiconductor materials. Depending on the semiconductor materials used, the LED beads 22 can emit red, green, blue, ultraviolet, near-infrared, or white light. Ultraviolet and / or near-infrared light can be used as disinfection light, and assembled luminaires using LED light strips emitting ultraviolet and / or near-infrared light can serve as light disinfection components. White light can be used as illumination light, and assembled luminaires using LED light strips emitting white light can serve as illumination components. Furthermore, the LED light strip needs to be equipped with a driver module for power supply, control, and electrical connection protection. The driver module can be integrated into a driver box, and the driver box is connected to the LED light strip by wires.
[0032] Mounting holes can be formed on the light strip 2, corresponding to the first positioning holes 112 formed on the first mounting surface 111. The light strip 2 is connected to the mounting groove 1 through the first positioning holes 112. The first positioning holes 112 on the first mounting surface 111 can be used not only to mount the light strip 2, but also to connect the mounting groove 1 to the fixing interface 4. The fixing of the light strip 2 and the mounting groove 1 itself can be achieved by using different first positioning holes 112 on the first mounting surface 111, or the fixing of the light strip 2 and the mounting groove 1 itself can be achieved simultaneously by using individual first positioning holes 112. For example... Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed interface 4 is provided by the fan support plate 41. The fan support plate 41 is equipped with a perforated first positioning member 44 that is coaxial with one of the first positioning holes 112. The fixed connection between the light strip 2, the mounting groove 1 and the fan support plate 41 is achieved by a connector 45 that passes through the first positioning hole 112 and the first positioning member 44.
[0033] The decorative cover 3 is disposed at the front end of the illumination surface of the light strip 2, serving as the lampshade of the light strip 2. The decorative cover 3 can be made of a highly transparent and weather-resistant material to form an optical decorative layer, thereby improving the illumination effect, preventing the light from being too concentrated or too dispersed, and also providing physical protection for the internal light strip 2. In this embodiment, the decorative cover 3 can be detachably installed with the first groove 11. The lower edges on both sides of the first groove 11 are respectively configured with anti-hook structures 113. Correspondingly, the upper edges on both sides of the decorative cover 3 are configured with slot structures 31 that can engage with the anti-hook structures 113. Thus, the decorative cover 3 can be inserted from the side of the first groove 11 for fixation. The decorative cover 3 and the first groove 11 form a fully enclosed cross-section structure, the interior of which is used to accommodate the light strip 2.
[0034] The second slot 12 is used to assist in realizing the illumination function of the light strip 2, as can be seen in the following embodiments:
[0035] (a) A second mounting hole is opened on the second groove 12, or only the openings 123 at both ends of the second groove 12 are used to connect with the fixed interface 4 to achieve a fixed connection of the entire assembled lamp.
[0036] refer to Figure 3 The assembled light fixture of this application is installed at the main unit of the clothes drying rack. Specifically, the assembled light fixture is installed at the outlet of the air supply duct 42 of the main unit, and the assembled light fixture becomes one of the components constituting the air supply duct 42. A swivel blade 43 is also provided to completely shield the assembled light fixture. In this embodiment, the fixing interface 4 for mounting on one side of the bottom of the first groove 11 of the mounting groove 1 is narrow and can only be fixed using the first mounting surface 111, resulting in the second groove 12 being suspended. This leads to poor assembly stability of the mounting groove 1. On the other hand, when the swivel blade 43 is closed, it may touch the mounting groove 1 or the decorative cover 3, which further increases the risk of instability of the mounting groove 1. Therefore, by utilizing the structure of the main unit, a second positioning member 46 that can be inserted into the openings 123 at both ends of the second groove 12 is configured to improve the assembly stability of the mounting groove 1. The second positioning member 46 can be a component extending from the structure of the two ends of the main unit and can cooperate with the cross-sectional cavity 124 of the second groove 12. In this embodiment, the second positioning member 46 includes a support bar that runs through the cross section of the second groove 12 and a set of protrusions extending from one side of the support bar, which ensures the overall assembly stability of the mounting groove 1 and maintains the stability of the cross-sectional shape of the second groove 12.
[0037] When the fixing interface 4 meets the conditions for fixing the second mounting surface 121, the connection between the mounting groove 1 and the fixing interface 4 can be achieved through the second positioning hole on the second fixing surface. When connecting the mounting groove 1 and the fixing interface 4, the first mounting surface 111 or the second mounting surface 121 should be selected as one of the fixing points according to the assembly conditions provided by the fixing interface 4, or both can be used in combination. In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the first groove 11 and the second groove 12, the mounting groove 1 can be manufactured by integral molding technology to avoid the connection structure between the first groove 11 and the second groove 12 becoming a weak point in the stress of the mounting groove.
[0038] (ii) The fully enclosed structure of the cross section of the second groove 12 can serve as an impact buffer for the assembled lamp of this application.
[0039] In this embodiment, regardless of the reciprocating movement of the louver 43 relative to the assembled luminaire (e.g. Figure 3 As shown), or the oscillating blade 43 drives the assembled lamp to move back and forth (as shown). Figure 4 and 5As shown), the second groove 12 is disposed on one side of the first groove 11 and can play an impact buffering role for the light strip 2 in the first groove 11. By adjusting the cross-sectional contour shape of the second groove 12, a better buffering effect can be achieved. For example, a frontal impact surface (impact edge or impact angle) can be provided, at least making the impact surface of the second groove 12 slightly protrude from the boundary line of the first groove 11, or the entire second groove 12 can be used as the impact part.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the second slot 12 is arranged side-by-side outside the first slot 11, which can prevent direct impact from the side onto the first slot 11 and the light strip 2 inside; as Figure 4 As shown, if the mounting groove 1 is fixed to the edge of the swing blade 43, the impact protection effect of the second groove 12 on the first groove 11 will be more significant, and since the second groove 12 extends beyond the edge of the swing blade 43, it also serves as an impact protection for the edge of the swing blade 43; Figure 5 As shown, if the mounting groove 1 is fixed to the edge of the swing blade 43 without extending beyond the boundary line of the swing blade 43, the second groove 12 can provide impact protection for the first groove 11 and the inner surface of the swing blade 43. Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sway bar 43 in the middle can be replaced with other fixed interfaces 4 that can install the assembled lighting fixtures of this application.
[0041] Furthermore, adjusting the material, sidewall structure, cavity 124 structure, or cross-sectional profile of the second groove 12 can achieve a more satisfactory impact buffering effect.
[0042] (iii) The inner cavity of the second groove 12 can be used as a receiving area.
[0043] When the LED strip 2 in the first slot 11 uses LED technology, driving the LED strip 2 to emit light according to predetermined requirements requires configuring wires, a driver module, and a power supply module for the LED strip 2. The second slot 12 can serve as space to at least partially accommodate the wires, driver module, and power supply module, especially when the assembled luminaire is positioned relatively far from the main power supply components. In some embodiments, through holes can be opened in the shared sidewall of the first slot 11 and the second slot 12 for laying wires, or slots can be provided in the shared sidewall for fixing the driver box.
[0044] In summary, this application provides a prefabricated lighting fixture, comprising an elongated mounting groove, a light strip fixed within the mounting groove, and a decorative cover fixed to the front end of the light strip's illumination face. The mounting groove includes a first groove for accommodating the light strip and a second groove arranged parallel to the first groove, the second groove assisting in achieving the illumination function of the light strip. The prefabricated lighting fixture provided by this application is configured with a mounting groove having a first groove and a second groove, wherein the first groove is used to accommodate the light strip, and the second groove assists in achieving the illumination function of the light strip. The cooperation between the first groove and the second groove gives the lighting fixture a certain degree of independence, facilitating concealed assembly. The clothes dryer provided by this application can utilize louvers to shield the prefabricated lighting fixture, and because the prefabricated lighting fixture has a small volume, it can be further concealed at the air outlet of the air supply system, making the louvers serve as both an air outlet and a shielding component for the lighting fixture.
