[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-12A clothes dryer rack 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a rack 100 and at least one set of side enclosures 200 that can be opened and closed to connect the rack 100;

[0030] At least one set of connecting parts 300 is provided between the enclosure 200 and the frame 100;

[0031] One end of the connecting part 300 is rotatably connected to the frame 100, and the other end of the connecting part 300 is rotatably or slidably connected to the enclosure 200; or

[0032] One end of the connecting part 300 is rotatably connected to the enclosure 200, and the other end of the connecting part 300 is rotatably or slidably connected to the frame 100;

[0033] The folding motion of the connecting part 300 allows the enclosure 200 and the frame 100 to be folded and unfolded.

[0034] In this embodiment, the enclosure 200 and the frame 100 are foldable and connectable. That is, the enclosure 200 can be unfolded to form a space for hanging clothes between it and the frame 100. Plastic film or similar materials can be placed around the enclosure 200 and the frame 100 to concentrate the wind or hot air blown from the frame 100 between the enclosure 200 and the frame 100 for centralized drying of the hung clothes, resulting in faster drying. When drying is not required, the enclosure 200 can be folded up to one side or below the frame 100 to save space and make it easy to carry.

[0035] When a set of connecting parts 300 is provided between the enclosure 200 and the frame 100, the connecting parts 300 can be set in the middle position, which can provide better support and better balance;

[0036] When multiple sets of connecting parts 300 are provided between the enclosure 200 and the frame 100, they can be set according to the actual situation, for example, they can be set symmetrically on both sides and a middle part can be added.

[0037] The connecting part 300 can be rotatably connected by a rotational fit between a rotating shaft and a shaft hole, and can be slidably connected by a slider mounted on a slide rail with a shaft and a shaft hole provided on the slider. For details, please refer to the description in the following embodiments.

[0038] The two ends of the connecting part 300 can be connected to the enclosure 200 and the frame 100 respectively, and the connection method can be selected according to the actual situation, such as a rotatable connection or a sliding connection.

[0039] When it is necessary to unfold the enclosure 200, simply pull the enclosure 200 outward longitudinally. At this time, the connector 310 rotates and / or slides to maintain the connection between the enclosure 200 and the frame 100. After unfolding, it can be used directly according to the actual situation, or the connector 310 in this state can be fixed so that it no longer rotates and / or slides, thereby maintaining the stability of the enclosure 200.

[0040] In one embodiment, one end of the connecting part 300 is rotatably connected to the frame 100, and the other end of the connecting part 300 is rotatably connected to the enclosure 200.

[0041] In one embodiment, one end of the connecting part 300 is rotatably connected to the frame 100, and the other end of the connecting part 300 is slidably connected to the enclosure 200.

[0042] In one embodiment, one end of the connecting part 300 is rotatably connected to the enclosure 200, and the other end of the connecting part 300 is rotatably connected to the frame 100.

[0043] In one embodiment, one end of the connecting part 300 is rotatably connected to the enclosure 200, and the other end of the connecting part 300 is slidably connected to the frame 100.

[0044] The above four scenarios are described in detail in the examples below.

[0045] The frame 100 is equipped with a blower and / or a heating device, and is equipped with a control switch, a power supply or a power connection socket. The bottom and / or side of the frame 100 are provided with an air outlet 120, the top of the frame 100 is provided with an air inlet 110, and the bottom of the frame 100 is provided with a first hanging bracket 400 connected to the frame 100. The first hanging bracket 400 is provided with several notches for hanging clothes hangers.

[0046] In one embodiment, the connecting portion 300 is provided in at least two sets, and the two sets of connecting portions 300 are respectively provided on the frame 100 and arranged in a horizontal array. The connecting portion 300 includes at least two connectors 310. The distal ends of the two connectors 310 are rotatably connected to the frame 100 and the enclosure 200, respectively, and the proximal ends of the two connectors 310 are rotatably connected through a rotating part.

[0047] The two connecting pieces 310 are rotatably folded and connected via the rotating part, so that the enclosure 200 and the frame 100 can be opened and closed.

[0048] In this embodiment, the rotatable axis of rotation can be vertical or horizontal. When the axis of rotation is horizontal, the rotation of the two connectors 310 is folded on the vertical plane, and the length of the enclosure 200 in the vertical direction needs to be greater than or equal to the length of a single connector 310 in order to cover the folded connector 300. When the axis of rotation is vertical, the rotation of the two connectors 310 is folded on the horizontal plane, and the length of the enclosure 200 in the horizontal direction needs to be greater than or equal to the total length of the two connectors 310.

[0049] Among them, the two connectors 310 of the same group connection part 300 are rotatably connected and folded at one end. After folding, the far ends of the two connectors 310 can be gradually pulled to a close position, so that the enclosure 200 can be stored on one side or below the frame 100. When it is necessary to unfold, the enclosure 200 is pulled open, the two connectors 310 rotate and unfold, and serve to connect the enclosure 200 and the frame 100.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the distal ends of the two connectors 310 are rotatably connected to the frame 100 and the enclosure 200, respectively, and the rotatable axis of rotation is vertical.

[0051] This design allows the enclosure 200 to be less long vertically, minimizing its volume. Furthermore, due to the presence of the first hanger 400, the lateral length of the frame 100 is limited, allowing the enclosure 200 to be made longer. This also increases the distance between the unfolded enclosure 200 and the frame 100, making it easier to dry larger garments.

[0052] In one embodiment, the rotating part includes a rotating shaft 330 disposed on one of the connecting members 310 and a sleeve 320 disposed on another of the connecting members 310, the sleeve 320 being rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 330;

[0053] The kit 320 has a first mounting part 322 that is inclined downward and inward on one side, and the rotating shaft 330 has a second mounting part 332 that is inclined upward and inward on one side. The rotating shaft 330 installs the rotating part by aligning the second mounting part 332 with the first mounting part 322 on the kit 320.

[0054] In this embodiment, by providing a first convenient mounting part 322 and a second convenient mounting part 332, it is easier to install and remove the kit 320 and the rotating shaft 330. That is, align the first convenient mounting part 322 of the kit 320 and the second convenient mounting part 332 of the rotating shaft 330, and then bring them close together and press them until the rotating shaft is installed in the kit 320.

[0055] When it is necessary to remove them, simply rotate the two connectors 310 to an angle at which the first mounting part 322 of the kit 320 and the second mounting part 332 of the pivot 330 are aligned. Then, apply force to separate them.

[0056] By making the two connectors 310 separable, even if one connector 310 is damaged, it can be replaced separately without replacing the whole connector, thus saving maintenance costs and making it easy to disassemble and clean.

[0057] In this context, "inward" in "downward and inward" refers to the direction relative to kit 320, while "inward" in "upward and inward" refers to the direction relative to the pivot. Please refer to the attached document for details. Figure 11-12 .

[0058] In the above embodiments, the rotation and folding direction of the two connecting members 310 in the same group can be inward or outward.

[0059] Preferably, in one embodiment, the two sets of connecting parts 300 are respectively disposed at the two transverse ends of the frame 100, and the enclosure 200 can be folded into a folded storage state by folding the two connecting parts 310 inward.

[0060] The two connectors 310 are housed between the enclosure 200 and the frame 100;

[0061] The kit 320 is provided with an elastic limiting part 321, and the rotating shaft 330 is provided with a limiting protrusion 331 corresponding to the elastic limiting part 321. When the limiting protrusion 331 is located outside the elastic limiting part 321, and the two connecting members 310 form an acute angle or 180°, the enclosure 200 and the frame 100 are in an unfolded state, and the proximal ends of the two connecting members 310 abut against each other.

[0062] In this embodiment, after folding, the connectors 310 in the two sets of connecting parts 300 will be closest together and located in the middle position below the frame 100;

[0063] In use, when the connector 310 is rotated from the folded state to the unfolded state, the elastic limiting part 321 is located on the rotational arc path of the limiting protrusion 331. When the limit protrusion 331 abuts against the elastic limiting part 321, a larger force needs to be applied to deform the elastic limiting part 321. At this time, the limiting protrusion 331 passes over the elastic limiting part 321, the elastic limiting part 321 resets and restricts the limiting protrusion 331 from rotating back, thereby achieving the purpose of restricting the rotation and folding of the two connectors 310. At the same time, the proximal ends of the two connectors 310 abut against each other, restricting the two connectors 310 from continuing to rotate and unfold, so that the two connectors 310 can no longer rotate relative to each other, and the connection between the enclosure 200 and the frame 100 tends to be stable.

[0064] During the unfolding process of the connector 310, the limiting protrusion 331 is located inside the elastic limiting part 321. The surfaces of the elastic limiting part 321 and the limiting protrusion 331 that are close to each other are both set as inclined surfaces, making it easier for the elastic protrusion to pass over the elastic limiting part 321 and to achieve a stable connection state. The surfaces of the elastic limiting part 321 and the limiting protrusion 331 that are far apart are right angle surfaces. After the connector 310 is unfolded, the right angle surfaces of the elastic limiting part 321 and the limiting protrusion 331 abut against each other, which can restrict the connector 310 from rotating and folding.

[0065] In this embodiment, the inner and outer sides are relatively elastic limiting portions 321. When the limiting protrusion 331 is located inside the elastic limiting portion 321, it is in an unfolded or folded state. When the limiting protrusion 331 is located outside the elastic limiting portion 321, it is in an unfolded state. For details, please refer to the attached document. Figure 6-8 .

[0066] Specifically, attached Figure 7 I want to fold it into an attachment Figure 6 In this form, simply fold the two connectors 310 outwards.

[0067] In one embodiment, the connecting part 300 includes three or more connecting members 310, which are arranged and connected in sequence. The connecting members 310 at both ends are rotatably connected to the frame 100 and the enclosure 200, respectively, and the connecting members 310 are rotatably connected to each other through a rotating part.

[0068] In this embodiment, the rotating part has multiple sets. The relative positions of the elastic limiting part 321 and the limiting protrusion 331 of adjacent rotating parts are opposite, and the rotation direction of the connecting member 310 when switching between the unfolded and folded states is also opposite. The relevant structures can be set according to the actual situation, and will not be described in detail here.

[0069] In one embodiment, the connecting portion 300 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of connecting portions 300 are respectively provided at the two transverse ends of the frame 100. The connecting portion 300 includes a connector 310.

[0070] One end of the connector 310 is rotatably connected to the frame 100, and the other end of the connector 310 is slidably connected to the enclosure 200 via a sliding part; or

[0071] One end of the connector 310 is rotatably connected to the enclosure 200, and the other end of the connector 310 is slidably connected to the frame 100 via a sliding part;

[0072] The connector 310 is rotatably connected to the sliding part.

[0073] In this embodiment, by setting a sliding connection, each set of connecting parts 300 only needs one connector 310 to achieve folding and storage. When folding, push the enclosure 200 closer to the frame 100. At this time, the connector 310 slides inward or outward through the sliding part until the enclosure 200 and the frame 100 form a stored state. When unfolding, pull open the enclosure 200. At this time, the connector 310 slides outward or inward through the sliding part until the enclosure 200 and the frame 100 form an unfolded state.

[0074] In one embodiment, the sliding part includes a slide rail disposed on the enclosure 200 and extending laterally, and a slider slidably disposed on the slide rail, wherein the connector 310 is rotatably connected to the slider.

[0075] In this embodiment, the rotatable connection can be the fit between a rotating shaft and a shaft hole.

[0076] In another embodiment, the sliding part includes a slide rail disposed on the frame 100 and extending laterally, and a slider slidably disposed on the slide rail, wherein the connector 310 is rotatably connected to the slider.

[0077] In one embodiment, one end of the connector 310 is connected to one side end of the frame 100, and one side end of the slide rail is provided with a locking part. The slider can slide to one side end of the slide rail and be fixed by the locking part.

[0078] In this embodiment, the locking part is stably unfolded by a fixed slider to prevent the slider from sliding randomly.

[0079] The locking part can be a pin or a buckle, as long as it can fix the slider.

[0080] In one embodiment, the enclosure 200 is configured as an inwardly concave arc shape, and a first receiving space is formed between the enclosure 200 and the frame 100.

[0081] In this embodiment, by setting the enclosure 200 to an inwardly concave arc shape, the folded connector 310 can be stored in the enclosure 200, and a small clothes hanger can also be stored there.

[0082] In one embodiment, two sets of enclosures 200 are provided, and the enclosures 200 are respectively connected to the frame 100 through the connecting part 300. The two sets of enclosures 200 are detachably connected through the buckle part, and a second accommodating space is formed between the two sets of enclosures 200.

[0083] In this embodiment, two sets of enclosures 200 are respectively set on both sides of the frame 100. After the two sets of enclosures 200 are stored, they can be fixed by the buckle part so that the enclosures 200 will not shake or unfold during storage or transportation.

[0084] The buckle part is an existing buckle structure, which is set on the four sides of the enclosure 200.

[0085] In one embodiment, a second bracket 500 is provided on the frame 100 and is rotatably connected to the frame 100. One end of the second bracket 500 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the frame 100 via a pivot. A third receiving space is provided on the frame 100 to accommodate the second bracket 500.

[0086] In this embodiment, by setting the second hanging bracket 500, the rack 100 can be hung on a clothes hanger or a horizontal bar during use, which is very convenient. In addition, the third storage space can also hold dust bags, etc.

[0087] When in use, simply lift one side of the second bracket 500 so that the second bracket 500 rotates relative to the frame 100 and forms a vertical position.

[0088] To facilitate prying up the second bracket 500, a recess is provided on the frame 100 at one end corresponding to the second bracket 500, which can accommodate a finger and provide space for applying force.
