[0002] As people's living standards improve, their requirements for home environments are also increasing. As a common household item, clothes drying racks are receiving increasing attention for their functionality and design. Traditional clothes drying racks are mostly installed either exposed or concealed, but this presents several problems: exposed racks typically have their drying rods exposed, taking up space and potentially affecting the aesthetics of the room; concealed racks, while hiding the drying rods, are more complex to install and maintain, and require certain structural features. Furthermore, existing clothes drying racks are relatively limited in function, failing to meet the diverse needs of users.

[0003] Patent document 1 [CN220977452U] discloses a surface-mounted, concealed, single-unit, double-pole multi-functional clothes drying rack, including clothes drying poles, a main unit housing, a main control box, and a drive unit. The clothes drying poles are concealed within the main unit housing, which includes a top plate, a bottom plate, side plates, and end caps. The side plates have grooves for accommodating the clothes drying poles. The main unit housing also integrates functions such as air drying, tumble drying, Bluetooth music playback, and ultrasonic mite removal. The clothes drying poles are connected to the drive unit via steel wire ropes to achieve lifting and lowering functions. The advantages of this patent are its ease of use, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance.

[0004] Patent document 2 [CN221895383U] discloses a clothes drying rack with a concealed drying rod inside the main unit, including a main unit and a height-adjustable drying rod.

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship that the utility model product is usually placed in during use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1-7, this embodiment provides a surface-mounted concealed double-pole clothes drying rack, including a main unit housing 1, a power component 2 located inside the main unit housing 1, drying poles 3, and a traction rope 4.

[0039] like Figure 1-2 As shown in Figure 4-6, the main housing 1 is the main structure of the clothes drying rack. It has a flat, cubical shape, including two side walls 11 in the width direction and two end walls 12 in the length direction. The side walls 11 of the main housing 1 have receiving grooves 13 extending along the length direction. When the drying rod 3 is in the retracted state, the entire drying rod 3 is retracted into the receiving groove 13 on the side wall 11. The dimensions of the receiving groove 13 and the drying rod 3 match, ensuring that the drying rod 3 can be stably and tightly stored within the receiving groove 13. The advantage of this design is that when the drying rod 3 is fully retracted, the space occupied by the entire clothes drying rack is significantly reduced, and the appearance of the main housing 1 is more concise and streamlined.

[0040] Similar to traditional clothes drying racks, in this design, the power source for the drying rod 3 comes from the power unit 2 located inside the main housing 1, and is connected and driven by the traction rope 4. The difference is that the traction rope 4 is led out from the power unit 2 through the receiving groove 13 on the side of the housing and connected to the drying rod 3, rather than being led out from the end of the housing. The power unit 2 drives the traction rope 4 to retract, causing the drying rod 3 to move up and down relative to the main housing 1 under the pull of the traction rope 4. When the traction rope 4 is retracted and the drying rod 3 rises to the set position, the drying rod 3 flips sideways and enters the receiving groove 13. At this point, the traction rope 4 is completely hidden inside the housing, which is blocked by the drying rod 3.

[0041] The pull rope 4 of a traditional clothes drying rack is usually led out from the end of the main body housing. When the drying rod 3 is stored, the pull rope 4 is often exposed, which not only affects the overall appearance, but also makes the pull rope 4 susceptible to contamination by moisture, dust and other contaminants, affecting the smoothness of the pull rope 4 and its own strength.

[0042] In this embodiment, the drying rod 3 can flip sideways and enter the receiving slot 13 when it rises to the set position. This design not only hides the drying rod 3, but also seals the traction rope 4 inside the housing, further enhancing the stability of the system. When the drying rod 3 is in the stored state, the traction rope 4 is completely hidden and fixed inside the housing, avoiding damage caused by external collisions or accidental pulling, as well as contamination from external moisture and dust, extending the service life of the traction rope 4, and also improving the long-term flexibility and safety of the system's activities.

[0043] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the drying rod 3 includes a bottom wall 31, which always faces downwards when the drying rod 3 is raised and lowered. The drying rod 3 is provided with multiple spaced-apart clothes drying holes or multiple recessed clothes drying grooves 32 along its upper edge.

[0044] like Figure 3-7 As shown, the outer contour of the bottom wall 31 of the rod matches the opening of the receiving groove 13 in terms of shape and size. When the drying rod 3 rises to the set position and flips under the action of the traction rope 4, the bottom wall 31 of the rod flips to the side, which can smoothly and steadily connect with the receiving groove 13. When it enters the receiving groove 13, the bottom wall 31 of the rod is flush with the side wall 11 of the shell. This flipping action and the matching design of the bottom wall 31 of the rod and the side wall 11 of the shell not only realize the concealment of the drying rod 3, but also make the drying rod 3 and the main body shell form a unified whole visually. When viewed from the side, the drying rod 3 and the side wall 11 of the shell are seamlessly connected, and the side of the entire clothes drying rack presents a simple and smooth line, without obvious gaps or abruptness, as if it is a complete decorative component rather than a simple clothes drying tool.

[0045] Furthermore, in other alternative embodiments, the bottom wall 31 of the rod can be designed as a decorative pattern that ultimately protrudes from the side wall 11 of the shell. When the drying rod 3 enters the receiving groove 13, the bottom wall 31 not only fills the space of the receiving groove 13 but also, together with the side wall 11 of the shell, creates a side profile with a unique visual effect. This decorative pattern can be personalized according to different home decor styles, such as modern minimalist, European classical, or traditional Chinese styles. In this way, the drying rod 3 is not only a practical clothes-drying tool but also a decorative element with artistic value, adding a unique aesthetic to the home environment.

[0046] like Figure 3 , 7 As shown, a light-emitting component 5 is provided inside the main unit housing 1. Its function is not limited to providing lighting, but also serves as an aesthetic design for the clothes drying system when it is not in use.

[0047] like Figure 3 , 7As shown, the main unit housing 1 is divided into upper and lower spaces. The upper space is equipped with the power component 2 and the winding component related to the traction rope 4, while the lower space is equipped with the light-emitting component 5. The lower surface of the main unit housing 1 is designed as a light guide surface 14, so that the light from the light-emitting component 5 can be emitted evenly.

[0048] More preferably, the main body housing 1 is divided into two independent parts: an upper body 101 and a lower body 102. The lower body 102 is an integrated large-screen LED light, the upper body 101 is a frame component, the power component 2 and the winding components related to the traction rope 4 are arranged in the upper body 101, and the receiving groove 13 is also located on the side wall of the upper body 101.

[0049] With the drying rod 3 neatly retracted into the receiving slot 13, the clothes drying rack resembles a ceiling light when viewed from below, perfectly blending into the décor of modern homes and greatly enhancing the aesthetics of the drying system. This concealed drying rod 3 design not only solves the problem of traditional clothes drying rods taking up space when not in use, but also, through its ingenious structural design, allows the drying system to integrate seamlessly with the interior environment when not in use, becoming part of the home décor rather than simply a household item.

[0050] More preferably, the drying rod 3 is equipped with an auxiliary light-emitting element, and the bottom wall 31 of the rod serves as an auxiliary light-guiding surface. The drying rod 3 can be connected to a power source for continuous power supply, or it can be equipped with an interface that connects to the power lines inside the main unit housing 1 when the drying rod 3 is stored in the receiving slot 13. The auxiliary light-emitting element in the drying rod 3 not only enhances the lighting but also further improves the overall aesthetics.

[0051] like Figure 3 , 6 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in this embodiment, the traction rope 4 extends horizontally along the length of the main housing 1 from the power assembly 2 located in the middle of the main housing 1, and after passing around a guide shaft 6, it turns to extend along the width of the main housing 1 to the side of the main housing 1, and enters the receiving groove 13, passes through the guide member 8, and connects to the drying rod 3. The guide member 8 serves to turn the horizontally extending traction rope 4 to the vertical direction, thereby enabling it to pull the drying rod 3 located below the main housing 1. This wiring arrangement allows the drying rod 3 to rise to the side of the main housing 1 and be at the same height as the receiving groove 13, thus enabling it to flip over and enter the receiving groove 13.

[0052] It should be noted that the drying rod 3 can be adaptively flipped under the action of the traction rope 4 by matching the groove opening of the receiving groove 13 and the shape of the drying rod 3. Alternatively, as in this embodiment, a flipping component 7 can be set at the receiving groove 13 to assist the drying rod 3 in flipping.

[0053] In this embodiment, the flipping of the drying rod 3 is driven by the flipping assembly 7. When the flipping assembly 7 is in the first position, the drying rod 3 is pulled upward by the traction rope 4 and engages with the flipping assembly 7. The flipping assembly 7 flips inward to the second position, and the drying rod 3 flips laterally into the receiving groove 13.

[0054] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the guide 8 is mounted on the flipping assembly 7, and the traction rope 4 is connected to the drying rod 3 via the flipping assembly 7. The guide 8 is a pulley mounted on the flipping assembly 7.

[0055] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the outer contour of the bottom wall 31 of the rod matches the opening of the receiving groove 13. The cross section of the drying rod 3 shrinks upward from the bottom wall 31 of the rod so that the drying rod 3 has rotation space when entering the receiving groove 13, and can be flipped while entering the receiving groove 13.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper side of the receiving groove 13 includes a downwardly sloping groove wall 13a, which makes the receiving groove 13 also form a state with a small groove width and a large internal space, which is more conducive to the flipping of the flipping assembly 7 and the drying rod 3.

[0057] This invention introduces a surface-mounted, concealed double-pole clothes drying rack. Specific examples are used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this invention. The descriptions of the embodiments are merely for the purpose of helping to understand this invention and its core concepts. 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.
