[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a multifunctional drying rack. The multifunctional drying rack includes a frame 10, which is horizontally extendable and has an unfolded state and a retracted state. The top of the frame 10 is configured as a hanging section for hanging clothes, and the bottom of the frame 10 is configured as a support section. Multiple support members 20 are horizontally arranged on the support section, on which shoes or other items can be placed. The multiple support members 20 are slidably arranged on the support section, so that the distance between the support members 20 can be adjusted according to the size of the items placed on them. A movable member 30 is provided at the bottom of the frame 10, which can move to drive the frame 10 to move. Normally, the multifunctional drying rack is placed indoors in the retracted state. Clothes can be hung on the hanging section of the frame 10, and items can be placed on the support members 20. At the same time, the whole thing can be pushed as a handcart. When the frame 10 is unfolded, more and larger items can be placed on the support members 20. In special circumstances, such as when a person is sick or injured, it can also be used as a temporary mobile stretcher cart for convenient transportation. In this way, the frame 10 can be retracted or expanded according to different usage needs, making the use scenarios of the multi-functional drying rack more diversified.
[0030] In one embodiment, the frame 10 includes several first frames 10 arranged side by side and several second frames 12 arranged side by side. The first frames 10 and the second frames 12 are connected and can extend and retract in the horizontal direction. When the frame 10 is in the retracted state, the first frames 10 and the second frames 12 are close to each other; when the frame 10 is in the extended state, the first frames 10 and the second frames 12 are far apart. By setting several first frames 10 and second frames 12, the overall drying space of the multifunctional drying rack is increased, allowing for more clothes to be hung and more items to be placed, and it also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the frame 10.
[0031] In one embodiment, the first frame 10 includes a first horizontal tube 111, a first vertical tube 112, and a second horizontal tube 113 connected in sequence. The second horizontal tube 113 is located below the first horizontal tube 111 and is on the same side of the first vertical tube 112 as the first horizontal tube 111. The first horizontal tube 111 and the second horizontal tube 113 are arranged parallel to each other. The height of the first horizontal tube 111 is the height at which clothes can be hung. The ends of the first vertical tube 112 are respectively connected to the first horizontal tube 111 and the second horizontal tube 113. The second frame 12 includes a third horizontal tube 12 connected in sequence. 1. A second vertical pipe 122 and a fourth horizontal pipe 123. The fourth horizontal pipe 123 is located below the second horizontal pipe 113 and is on the same side of the second vertical pipe 122 as the third horizontal pipe 121. The first horizontal pipe 111 and the third horizontal pipe 121 are slidably connected, and the second horizontal pipe 113 and the fourth horizontal pipe 123 are slidably connected. A connecting pipe 60 is provided at the connection between the first horizontal pipe 111 and the first vertical pipe 112 to facilitate connection between them. Correspondingly, a connecting pipe 60 is also provided at the connection between the third horizontal pipe 121 and the second vertical pipe 122 to facilitate connection between them.
[0032] In this application, the first horizontal tube 111 is configured as the first hanging section, and the third horizontal tube 121 is configured as the second hanging section, so that clothes can be hung on the first horizontal tube 111 and the third horizontal tube 121 respectively. The second horizontal tube 113 is configured as the first support section, and the fourth horizontal tube 123 is configured as the second support section. Support members 20 are provided on both the first support section and the second support section, so that items can be placed on the support members 20.
[0033] In one embodiment, hooks 40 arranged in sequence are also provided at the bottom of the first horizontal tube 111. Providing multiple hooks 40 can enable more clothes to be hung on the first horizontal tube 111 and can prevent the clothes hanger with clothes from sliding on the first horizontal tube 111.
[0034] Furthermore, the first frame 10 and the second frame 12 are connected by a nesting method, that is, part of the third horizontal tube 121 is nested inside the first horizontal tube 111, and part of the fourth horizontal tube 123 is nested inside the second horizontal tube 113. The inner diameter of the first horizontal tube 111 is larger than the outer diameter of the third horizontal tube 121, allowing the third horizontal tube 121 to be inserted into the first horizontal tube 111. The inner diameter of the second horizontal tube 113 is larger than the outer diameter of the fourth horizontal tube 123, allowing the fourth horizontal tube 123 to be inserted into the second horizontal tube 113. It should be understood that a limiting structure is provided at the connection between the openings of the first horizontal tube 111 and the third horizontal tube 121, and a limiting structure is also provided at the connection between the openings of the second horizontal tube 113 and the fourth horizontal tube 123. The limiting structures prevent the first horizontal tube 111 from detaching from the third horizontal tube 121 and prevent the second horizontal tube 113 from detaching from the fourth horizontal tube 123. The limiting structure can be a protrusion surrounding the opening or a blocking block, which is not limited here.
[0035] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the first frame 10 and the second frame 12 can also be connected by a slider rail or a double rail, which is not limited here.
[0036] Furthermore, the first frame 10 also includes a third vertical tube 114, which is spaced apart from the first vertical tube 112 and its two ends are respectively connected to the first horizontal tube 111 and the second horizontal tube 113. The third vertical tube 114 serves to support the first horizontal tube 111. The third vertical tube 114 and the first vertical tube 112 are located at the two ends of the first horizontal tube 111, which can prevent the first horizontal tube 111 from undergoing large deformation and breaking when a lot of clothes are hung on it.
[0037] In one embodiment, a first connecting rod 115 is provided between adjacent first frame 10, and a second connecting rod is provided between adjacent second frame 12. The first connecting rod 115 and the second connecting rod are used to ensure the stability of the connection between adjacent frame 10, and clothing can also be hung on the first connecting rod 115 and the second connecting rod.
[0038] It should be noted that in some embodiments, part of the third vertical tube 114 can be removed. For example, when two third vertical tubes 114 are provided, one of the third vertical tubes 114 can be removed so that the frame 10 has enough space to place other items. Of course, a third connecting rod 50 can also be installed on the third vertical tube 114 and between it and the first vertical tube 112 and the second vertical tube 122 to meet more clothes drying needs.
[0039] In one embodiment, a third frame 13 and a fourth frame 14 are also mounted on the first connecting rod 115 and the second connecting rod. Clothes can be hung on both the third frame 13 and the fourth frame 14. By setting the third frame 13 and the fourth frame 14, the multi-functional drying rack can hang more clothes. Correspondingly, the third frame 13 and the fourth frame 14 are connected and can move horizontally to adapt to the first frame 10 and the second frame 12.
[0040] Furthermore, the third frame 13 includes a fifth horizontal tube 131 and a fourth vertical tube 132, which are connected by an adapter pipe 60. The fourth frame 14 includes a sixth horizontal tube 141 and a fifth vertical tube 142, which are also connected by the adapter pipe 60. The inner diameter of the fifth horizontal tube 131 is larger than the outer diameter of the sixth horizontal tube 141, so that a portion of the sixth horizontal tube 141 can be fitted inside the fifth horizontal tube 131 and can extend and retract within the fifth horizontal tube 131. Similarly, a limiting structure as described in the above embodiment is also provided between the third frame 13 and the fourth frame 14.
[0041] A sixth vertical tube 133 is provided at the end of the fifth horizontal tube 131 away from the fourth vertical tube 132. The two ends of the sixth vertical tube 133 are connected to the fifth horizontal tube 131 and the first connecting rod 115, respectively, so as to ensure that the fifth horizontal tube 131 has sufficient support strength.
[0042] In this application, the structure of the support member 20 includes a support rod 21 and sleeves 22 disposed at both ends of the support rod 21. The sleeves 22 are sleeved on the second horizontal tube 113 and the fourth horizontal tube 123. The sleeves 22 can be fully sleeved or partially sleeved. When the sleeves 22 are fully sleeved, the sleeves 22 are complete tubes. The outer diameters of the second horizontal tube 113 and the fourth horizontal tube 123 are both smaller than the inner diameter of the sleeves 22 so that the second horizontal tube 113 and the fourth horizontal tube 123 pass through the sleeves 22 and are completely inside the sleeves 22. When the sleeves 22 are partially sleeved, the sleeves 22 can have a semi-circular structure. The semi-circular sleeves 22 can be mounted on the second horizontal tube 113 and the fourth horizontal tube 123. In this case, it is convenient to install and remove the support member 20, and the number of support members 20 can be adjusted according to the usage requirements.
[0043] Specifically, in this application, two first frames 10, two second frames 12, and one third frame 13 are provided, positioned between the two first frames 10 and the two second frames 12. The two first frames 10 are connected to the two second frames 12 respectively. When the frames 10 are retracted or extended, the two first frames 10 or the two second frames 12 move synchronously. The moving parts 30 in this application are wheels. Six wheels are provided at the bottom of the frame 10, respectively below the first vertical tube 112 and the second vertical tube 122; that is, one wheel is provided at each of the four corners of the frame 10, and two wheels are provided in the middle of the bottom of the frame 10. When unfolded for use, the two wheels in the middle of the bottom of the frame 10 can also bear force.
[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
