Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothes drying rack technology, and in particular to a lifting system for a side-concealed clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] As people increasingly pursue higher quality in home decoration, the design of clothes drying racks is becoming more and more streamlined. Against this backdrop, clothes drying racks with cleverly concealed drying rods inside the main unit have emerged, providing consumers with a more aesthetically pleasing and practical option.

[0003] Patent document 1 [CN222847055U] details a surface-mounted concealed clothes drying rack. This rack features an ingenious design, primarily consisting of a frame and a clothes drying rod. The bottom of the frame is open, while both ends are equipped with flip-top structures. The middle of the flip-top structure is rotatably connected to the bottom of the frame's side wall, allowing for flexible opening and closing. The clothes drying rod is equally ingenious, consisting of a fixed rod and a telescopic rod. The telescopic rod slides along the fixed rod, allowing for adjustable extension and retraction as needed. When the clothes drying rod is at its highest position, it can be completely embedded inside the frame. At this point, the flip-top structure tightly encloses the clothes drying rod, achieving concealed storage, saving space and enhancing the overall aesthetics.

[0004] Patent document two [CN221895383U] discloses a more advanced clothes drying rack where the drying rod can be hidden inside the main unit. Its main unit is rationally designed, encompassing key components such as the main housing, drive unit, and lighting. The interior of the main housing is cleverly divided into upper and lower spaces, with the drying rod designed to be height-adjustable and retractable into the lower space's storage compartment. To ensure the convenience and stability of the drying rod's concealment, a rotatable opening and closing mechanism is specially designed at the opening of the storage compartment. When the drying rod is raised, the opening and closing mechanism automatically closes, thus achieving perfect concealment of the drying rod. The advantages of this clothes drying rack are its high degree of automation, ease of operation, and greatly convenience for users' daily use.

[0005] However, some issues with the clothes drying racks currently on the market also exist in actual use. In these racks, the lower surface of the drying system is typically divided into multiple parts. This design, to some extent, disrupts the overall integrity of the product, making the appearance less clean and streamlined. Furthermore, to ensure smooth raising and lowering of the drying rods and proper opening and closing of the mechanism, certain gaps exist on the lower surface. These gaps not only easily accumulate dust but also affect the overall aesthetics of the clothes drying rack, reducing its visual appeal and user experience.

[0006] To address these issues, researchers in this field have developed a clothes drying rack with a side-concealed drying rod through in-depth research and innovation. This design differs significantly from traditional concealed clothes drying racks, cleverly hiding the drying rod within the side of the main unit. In traditional concealed clothes drying racks, the drying rod's movement relative to the rack is primarily vertical, making the lifting system relatively simple and easily enabling the raising and lowering of the rod. However, when the drying rod needs to be concealed from the side of the rack, the path of the traction rope becomes extremely complex and prone to tangling. This not only affects the normal use of the drying rod but may also shorten the lifespan of the entire drying rack. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a lifting system for a side-concealed clothes drying rack. The lifting system is designed specifically for side-concealed drying rods, so that the lifting and concealing actions can be realized smoothly.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a lifting system for a side-concealed clothes drying rack, including a main housing, two clothes drying rods arranged parallel to each other along the length of the main housing, and two lifting units, each of the lifting units being used to lift one of the clothes drying rods respectively;

[0009] The two side walls of the main housing in the width direction are provided with drying rod positions for accommodating the clothes drying rod;

[0010] Each lifting unit includes a power winding module, two steel wire ropes, and two pairs of tilting assemblies. Each tilting assembly includes a body and a pulley. The body includes a hinged end and a mating end. The pulley is disposed in the body, and the hinged end is hinged to the drying rod position.

[0011] The steel wire rope is led out from the power winding module and extends in opposite directions to both ends of the main housing, then enters the drying rack position laterally, and then passes through the pulleys in the flip assembly in sequence before connecting to the clothes drying rack.

[0012] When the flipping assembly is flipped to the outer limit position, the mating end is located outside the drying rod position, and the drying rod is suspended in the side space of the main unit housing with its bottom surface facing down, and moves up and down relative to the main unit housing under the pulling and winding of the steel wire rope;

[0013] When the clothes drying rod rises to the rated position, the clothes drying rod engages with the mating end, and the tension generated by the wire rope recovery drives the flipping assembly to flip inward. Under the drive of the flipping assembly, the clothes drying rod flips laterally and enters the drying rod position.

[0014] When the power winding module releases the wire, the flipping assembly flips outward to reset to the outer limit position. As the wire rope continues to be released, the clothesline detaches from the flipping assembly and falls due to gravity.

[0015] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the power winding module is located in the middle of the main body housing, and the power winding module is provided with steering wheels on both sides. The wire rope is horizontally led out from the power winding module along the length direction of the main body housing in opposite directions, and turns after passing through the steering wheels, so as to extend along the width direction of the main body housing and then pass through the flipping assembly located at the drying rod position.

[0016] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the steering wheel includes an upper limit plate and a lower limit plate. When the flipping assembly is flipped to the outer limit position, the upper surface of the lower limit plate is at the same height as the upper generatrix of the pulley, and the wire rope extends horizontally along the width direction through the flipping assembly; when the flipping assembly is flipped to the inner limit position, the upper generatrix of the pulley is lower than the upper surface of the lower limit plate, and the wire rope is inclined.

[0017] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: it further includes an inductive switch, which is triggered when the flipping assembly flips to the inner limit position to stop the power winding module from retracting the wire rope.

[0018] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the power winding module includes a pair of vertical winding wheels and a motor that drives the pair of winding wheels simultaneously; the motor includes two output ends, and each winding wheel is connected to one output end of the motor through a transmission component.

[0019] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0020] The power winding module also includes two winding wheel brackets, the motor is located between the two winding wheel brackets, and the winding wheel and transmission assembly are arranged in the winding wheel brackets.

[0021] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the winding wheel bracket is provided with a wheel cover and a wire guide. The wheel cover is provided outside the winding wheel and has a wire outlet hole for the steel wire rope to be led out. The wire guide is located outside the wheel cover and has a wire hole opposite to the wire outlet hole.

[0022] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a lifting system for a side-concealed clothes drying rack, including a main housing, two clothes drying rods arranged parallel to each other along the length of the main housing, and two sets of lifting units, each set of lifting units being used to lift one of the clothes drying rods respectively;

[0023] The two side walls of the main housing in the width direction are provided with drying rod positions for accommodating the clothes drying rod;

[0024] Each lifting unit includes a power winding module, two steel wire ropes, and two pairs of tilting assemblies hinged at the drying rack position;

[0025] The steel wire rope is led out from the power winding module and extends in opposite directions to both ends of the main housing, then enters the drying rack position laterally, passes through the flip assembly in sequence, and connects to the clothes drying rack.

[0026] When the clothesline rises to the rated position, the clothesline and the flip assembly combine and flip together into the clothesline position.

[0027] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: each flipping assembly includes a body and a pulley. The body includes a hinge end and a mating end. The pulley is disposed in the body. The hinge end is hinged to the clothesline position. The power winding module is provided with steering wheels on both sides. The steel wire rope is horizontally led out from the power winding module along the length direction of the main body housing in opposite directions. After passing around the steering wheel, it turns so as to extend along the width direction of the main body housing and then pass around the pulley of the flipping assembly to connect with the clothesline.

[0028] When the flipping assembly is flipped to the outer limit position, the mating end is located outside the drying rod position, and the drying rod is suspended in the side space of the main unit housing with its bottom surface facing down, and moves up and down relative to the main unit housing under the pulling and winding of the steel wire rope;

[0029] When the clothes drying rod rises to the rated position, the clothes drying rod engages with the mating end, and the tension generated by the wire rope recovery drives the flipping assembly to flip inward. Under the drive of the flipping assembly, the clothes drying rod flips laterally and enters the drying rod position.

[0030] When the power winding module releases the wire, the flipping assembly flips outward to reset to the outer limit position. As the wire rope continues to be released, the clothesline detaches from the flipping assembly and falls due to gravity.

[0031] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: it further includes an inductive switch, which is triggered when the flipping assembly flips to the inner limit position to stop the power winding module from retracting the wire rope.

[0032] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is as follows: the lifting method of the lifting system of the side-concealed clothes drying rack includes the following steps in the process of raising the clothes drying rod:

[0033] The flip assembly flips outward and is partially located outside the width direction of the main housing;

[0034] The power winding module gradually retracts the steel wire rope, and the clothes drying rod moves upward under the traction of the steel wire rope to contact the part of the flipping assembly that extends out of the main housing.

[0035] The clothes drying rod is combined with the flip assembly;

[0036] The flipping assembly flips inward, and the clothes drying rod enters the drying rod position under the combined action of the steel wire rope and the flipping assembly;

[0037] The power winding module stops retrieving the wire rope;

[0038] The process of lowering the clothesline includes the following steps:

[0039] The power winding module gradually releases the steel wire rope;

[0040] The flip assembly with the clothes drying rod flips outward, and the clothes drying rod extends outward in the width direction of the main unit housing;

[0041] After the clothesline detaches from the flipping assembly, it gradually descends under the action of gravity as the steel wire rope is released.

[0042] When the clothesline reaches its lower limit, the power winding module stops.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the steel wire rope achieves outward movement of position and angle switching through the flipping assembly, which makes it easy to unfold the clothes drying rod during use and facilitates the concealment of the clothes drying rod. In addition, during the process of the clothes drying rod flipping sideways into the drying position, the steel wire rope switches from a vertical turning state to a horizontal state without turning. This not only facilitates the inward contraction of the steel wire rope and avoids excessive wear of the steel wire rope at the turning point, but also ensures the continuity and stability of the equipment operation.

[0054] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it will not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

Similarly, "first" and "second" are only for ease of understanding and have no other directional meaning, and cannot be considered as limitations on this utility model.

[0057] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a lifting system for a side-concealed clothes drying rack. The lifting system mainly includes a main housing 100, two clothes drying rods 200, and two independent lifting units. The clothes drying rods 200 are arranged parallel to the length of the main housing 100, and each clothes drying rod 200 is equipped with a lifting unit to ensure that the clothes drying rod 200 can be lifted and lowered independently and smoothly.

[0058] like Figure 3-4 The main housing 100 has drying rod positions 1 on each of its two side walls, which are used to accommodate the clothes drying rod 200 when it is raised to its rated position, thus achieving lateral concealment of the clothes drying rod 200. By laterally concealing the clothes drying rod 200 within the drying rod positions 1 of the main housing 100, the system maintains the integrity of its lower surface when the clothes drying rod 200 is in its retracted state. This design not only makes the clothes drying system look neater and more aesthetically pleasing but also avoids visual interference with the indoor space when the clothes drying rod 200 is not in use.

[0059] like Figure 1-2 As shown, each lifting unit consists of a power winding module 300, two steel wire ropes 2, and two pairs of tilting assemblies 10. The power winding module 300 is located inside the main housing 100 and is responsible for the winding and unwinding of the steel wire ropes 2. After being led out from the power winding module 300, the steel wire ropes 2 extend in opposite directions to both ends of the main housing 100, then enter the clothesline position 1 laterally, and pass through the tilting assemblies 10 in sequence before connecting to the clothesline 200. This layout ensures that the steel wire ropes 2 maintain a stable traction force during the lifting and lowering of the clothesline 200, ensuring the smooth movement of the clothesline 200.

[0060] When the clothesline 200 rises to its rated position, it engages with the flipping assembly 10 and flips together into the clothesline position 1. This design facilitates the concealment of the clothesline 200. Furthermore, during the lateral flipping of the clothesline 200 into the clothesline position 1, the wire rope 2 switches from a vertically turning state to a horizontal state without turning. This not only facilitates the inward retraction of the wire rope 2 and avoids excessive wear at the turning point, but also ensures the continuity and stability of the equipment operation.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 5 , 7 As shown, each tilting assembly 10 includes a body 3 and a pulley 4. The body 3 includes a hinged end 31 and a mating end 32. The pulley 4 is disposed inside the body 3, and the hinged end 31 is hinged at the clothesline position 1. The steel wire rope 2 passes through the pulley 4 of the tilting assembly 10 and is connected to the clothesline 200. Guided by the pulley 4 of the tilting assembly 10, the steel wire rope 2 can always maintain appropriate tension and position, reducing the risk of wear and slack caused by frequent turning. This not only extends the service life of the steel wire rope 2, but also improves the reliability and maintenance cycle of the entire system.

[0062] When the flip assembly 10 is flipped to its outer limit position, the mating end 32 is located outside the clothesline position 1. At this time, the clothesline 200 is suspended in the side space of the main housing 100 with its bottom surface facing down. Under the traction of the steel wire rope 2, the clothesline 200 can move up and down relative to the main housing 100. In this design, the steel wire rope 2 achieves outward movement of position and angle switching through the flip assembly 10, making it easy to unfold the clothesline 200 during use and providing users with a convenient operating experience.

[0063] like Figure 5 , 7 As shown, when the clothesline 200 rises to the rated position, it engages with the mating end 32. The tension generated by the retraction of the wire rope 2 drives the flipping assembly 10 to flip inward, causing the clothesline 200 to flip laterally and enter the drying position 1. During this process, the wire rope 2, guided by the pulley 4, maintains appropriate tension to ensure the smooth movement of the clothesline 200. After the clothesline 200 enters the drying position 1, the entire clothes drying system appears cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing, as the clothesline 200 is completely hidden and does not occupy extra space.

[0064] When the power winding module 300 releases the wire, the flipping assembly 10 flips outward to reset to the outer limit position. As the wire rope 2 continues to be released, the clothes drying rod 200 disengages from the flipping assembly 10 and falls due to gravity.

[0065] Throughout the process, the steel wire rope 2, guided by the pulley 4, maintains appropriate tension and provides the necessary mechanical support for the lifting, lowering, and tilting of the clothesline 200. The lifting and tilting forces of the clothesline 200 and the tilting assembly 10 are all achieved through the power winding module 300 acting on the steel wire rope 2, without the need for other external forces. This avoids the delay effect of other forces intervening and ensures the automation and continuity of the system.

[0066] The combination of the flip assembly 10 and the clothes drying rod 200 can be in various ways, and the power required for combination and separation can also be in various ways, including mechanical contact combination, magnetic combination, etc.

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, the mating end 32 includes a mating groove 320. When the flipping assembly 10 flips to the outer limit position, the opening of the mating groove 320 faces downward, and the upper side of the clothes drying rod 200 has a protrusion 210 that matches the opening of the groove. When the clothes drying rod 200 rises, the flipping assembly 10 captures the clothes drying rod 200 through the mating groove 320. After the protrusion 210 enters the mating groove 320, the two form a whole, thereby driving the clothes drying rod 200 to flip when the flipping assembly 10 flips.

[0068] The engagement of the groove 320 and the protrusion provides a clear and stable support point for the clothesline 200. Driven by the flipping assembly 10, the clothesline 200 can smoothly flip laterally, avoiding jamming or damage caused by shaking or displacement. This design significantly improves the stability of the clothesline 200 during the flipping process, ensuring smooth system operation. Although the engagement of the groove 320 and the protrusion is an effective positioning method, the design of this system also considers the possibility of structural simplification. In fact, based on sufficient tension in the wire rope 2, the clothesline 200 is tightly pressed against the mating end 32 of the flipping assembly 10, and even if the mating end 32 is only a flat surface, the clothesline 200 can still be flipped.

[0069] Throughout the entire process, from the clothesline 200 rising to engage with the flip assembly 10, then the two flipping inward together, then flipping outward together, and finally the clothesline 200 detaching from the flip assembly 10 and descending, the entire process is achieved through the traction of the steel wire rope 2, without any other interfering forces. Users do not need to worry about accidents occurring during the flipping process of the clothesline 200, as the system can automatically complete all actions, ensuring the safety and convenience of operation.

[0070] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 5 and 7, the power winding module 300 is located in the middle of the main housing 100. Steering wheels 5 are provided on both sides of the power winding module 300, and the steering wheels 5 are fixed to the main housing by fasteners 51. The fasteners 50 are U-shaped frames including an upper wall and a lower wall, and the steering wheels 5 are rotatably disposed between the upper and lower walls. The wire rope 2 extends horizontally from the power winding module 300 along the length of the main housing 100, away from it, and turns after passing the steering wheels 5 to extend along the width of the main housing 100 before passing the flipping assembly 10 located at the drying rack position 1. This layout not only optimizes the path of the wire rope 2 and avoids mutual interference between the wire ropes 2, but also ensures that the wire rope 2 maintains appropriate tension in different flipping states.

[0071] like Figure 8 , 9 As shown, as the angle of the tilting assembly 10 changes, the position and angle of the steel wire rope 2 on the steering wheel 5 will change. This dynamic adjustment mechanism ensures that the steel wire rope 2 is always in the optimal tension state during the lifting and tilting of the clothesline 200, avoiding system failures caused by slack or overstretching.

[0072] like Figure 7-9 As shown, the steering wheel 5 includes an upper limit plate 51 and a lower limit plate 52. A space is formed between the upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 52, allowing the wire rope 2 to move up and down.

[0073] like Figure 8 As shown, when the tilting assembly is tilted to the outer limit position, the upper surface of the lower limit plate 52 is at the same height as the upper generatrix of the pulley 4, and the wire rope 2 extends horizontally along the width direction through the tilting assembly 10. When the tilting assembly 10 is tilted to the inner limit position, the upper generatrix of the pulley 4 is lower than the upper surface of the lower limit plate 52, thereby causing the wire rope 2 to tilt.

[0074] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, the power winding module 300 includes a pair of vertical winding wheels 6 and a motor 7 that simultaneously drives the pair of winding wheels 6. The motor 7 has two output ends, and each winding wheel 6 is connected to one output end of the motor 7 via a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is typically a multi-stage transmission gear. This layout design makes the motor 7 more compact and ensures synchronous lifting and lowering of both sides of the clothesline 200, improving the coordination and consistency of the system.

[0075] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, the winding wheel 6, motor 7, and steering wheel 5 are located on the same straight line, and the two sets of power winding modules 300 are parallel to each other. This design features two sets of power winding modules 300 that are parallel to each other.

[0076] like Figure 1 ,2 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the power winding module 300 also includes two winding wheel supports 8, with the motor 7 located between the two winding wheel supports 8. The winding wheel 6 and the transmission assembly are arranged in the winding wheel supports 8. The inner side of the winding wheel supports 8 is provided with a mounting part for fixing the motor 7. The motor 7 is mounted between the two winding wheel supports 8. Thus, the winding wheel supports 8 not only provide stable support for the winding wheel 6 and the transmission assembly, but also optimize the structural layout of the entire power winding module 300.

[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, the winding reel bracket 8 is equipped with a reel cover 81 and a wire guide 82. The reel cover 81 covers the winding reel 6 and its main function is to protect the winding reel 6 from external interference and dust intrusion. At the same time, the reel cover 81 is provided with a wire outlet hole 810 for the wire rope 2 to be led out, ensuring that the wire rope 2 can be smoothly led out from the winding reel 6. The wire guide 82 is located on the outside of the reel cover 81 and is provided with a wire guide hole 820 opposite to the wire outlet hole 810. Its function is to guide the wire rope 2 to accurately enter the subsequent guide path after it is led out from the wire outlet hole 810, avoiding tangling or jamming of the wire rope 2 during the lead-out process.

[0078] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown in Figure 7, an inductive switch 20 is provided inside the flipping assembly 10. When the flipping assembly 10 flips to the inner limit position, the inductive switch 20 is triggered, thereby sending a signal to the power winding module 300 to stop retracting the steel wire rope 2. This automated control mechanism ensures that the clothes drying rod 200 can accurately reach the predetermined position during the flipping process, avoiding system failures caused by over-flipping or inaccurate positioning.

[0079] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown in Figure 7, the inductive switch 20 is a micro switch, which features high sensitivity and fast response. When the flip assembly 10 flips to its inner limit position, the outer end of the flip assembly 10 touches the contact 21 of the micro switch, triggering the switch action. The micro switch ensures rapid and accurate triggering when the flip assembly 10 reaches the precise position, thereby achieving instantaneous control of the power winding module 300.

[0080] The lifting method of the lifting system of the side-concealed clothes drying rack specifically includes the rising process of the clothes drying rod 200 and the lowering process of the clothes drying rod 200.

[0081] The process of raising the clothesline 200 includes the following steps:

[0082] (1) The flip assembly 10 flips outward and is partially located outside the width direction of the main housing 100;

[0083] (2) The power winding module 300 gradually retracts the steel wire rope 2, and the clothes drying rod 200 moves upward under the traction of the steel wire rope 2, contacting the part of the flipping assembly 10 that extends out of the main unit housing;

[0084] (3) The clothes drying rod 100 is combined with the flipping assembly 10;

[0085] (4) The flipping assembly 10 flips inward, and the clothes drying rod 200 enters the drying rod position 1 under the combined action of the wire rope 2 and the flipping assembly 10.

[0086] (5) The power winding module 300 stops the recovery of the steel wire rope 2.

[0087] The descent process of the clothesline 200 includes the following steps:

[0088] (1) The power winding module 300 gradually releases the steel wire rope 2;

[0089] (2) The rotating assembly 10 with the clothes drying rod 200 rotates outward, and the clothes drying rod 200 extends outward in the width direction of the main unit housing 100;

[0090] (3) After the clothes drying rod 100 is detached from the flipping assembly 10, it gradually descends under the action of gravity as the wire rope 2 is released;

[0091] (4) When the clothes drying rod 200 reaches the lower limit, the power winding module 300 stops.

[0092] This invention describes the lifting system and lifting method of a side-concealed clothes drying rack. Specific examples are used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this invention. The descriptions of the embodiments are merely for the purpose of helping to understand this invention and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this invention.
