Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying device technology, and in particular to a telescopic drying basket. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, drying racks are essential household items, providing space for various items to dry and accelerating the drying process. Common drying racks include clotheslines, where clothes are typically hung on hangers and then suspended from the racks. This method is suitable for regular clothing, but it can be inconvenient for easily deformed garments or small items.

[0003] To meet the drying needs of these items, drying nets and other devices that allow for flat drying have appeared on the market. However, these devices have problems such as fixed structure and large size. When not in use, they take up space and easily accumulate dust, making cleaning troublesome. Furthermore, these devices are relatively single-function, often only meeting a single drying requirement. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this utility model embodiment is to provide a telescopic drying basket that is easy to store, with adjustable spacing between adjacent crossbars, which can meet various drying needs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A telescopic drying basket includes a base, an end cap, and a telescopic assembly disposed between the base and the end cap;

[0007] The telescopic assembly includes at least two telescopic frames spaced apart; both ends of each telescopic frame are connected to the base and the end cap, respectively; multiple crossbars are provided between two adjacent telescopic frames, and each crossbar is provided with a first drying clip;

[0008] The telescopic drying basket has an unfolded state and a retracted state; when the telescopic drying basket is adjusted to the unfolded state, the telescopic frame extends, the end cap moves away from the base, and the adjacent crossbars move away from each other; when the telescopic drying basket is adjusted to the retracted state, the telescopic frame shortens, the end cap moves closer to the base, and the adjacent crossbars move closer to each other; when the telescopic drying basket is in the retracted state, the base and the end cap form a receiving cavity, and the telescopic assembly is housed in the receiving cavity.

[0009] Optionally, when the telescopic drying basket is in the unfolded state, the two ends of each of the crossbars are respectively connected to the lower side of the two telescopic frames, and the upper side of the multiple crossbars forms a supporting drying space with the adjacent telescopic frames. The two telescopic frames are lateral blocking structures for the supporting drying space.

[0010] Optionally, the first drying clip is positioned below the crossbar, and / or the first drying clip is positioned above the crossbar.

[0011] Optionally, the telescopic frame includes multiple frame sections, each frame section including a first link and a second link that are staggered and hinged at staggered positions; between adjacent frame sections, the end of the first link is hinged to the end of the second link in the frame section located next to it;

[0012] The base is provided with a first mounting structure, the first mounting structure having a first hinge and a first slide rail; in the telescopic frame, one of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod near the base is hinged to the first hinge and the other is slidably connected to the first slide rail.

[0013] The end cap is provided with a second mounting structure, the second mounting structure having a second hinge and a second slide rail; in the telescopic frame, one of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod near the end cap is hinged to the second hinge and the other is slidably connected to the second slide rail.

[0014] Optionally, the telescopic frame includes multiple frame sections, each frame section including a first link and a second link that are staggered and hinged at staggered positions;

[0015] Between adjacent frame sections, the end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the end of the second connecting rod in the frame section located beside it to form a lateral hinge section; the two ends of the crossbar are respectively connected to the lateral hinge sections located on both sides of it.

[0016] Optionally, the first drying clip includes a mounting rod for connecting to the mounting rod, the mounting rod engaging with the crossbar, the first clamping member protruding relative to the crossbar, and the first clamping member being used to clamp the item to be dried.

[0017] Optionally, the first clamping member is a spring arm, the first end of the spring arm is connected to the mounting rod, the second end of the spring arm is a free end, and an elastic clamping space is formed between the spring arm and the mounting rod;

[0018] Alternatively, the first clamping member includes two spring arms, the first end of each spring arm is connected to the mounting rod, the second end of each spring arm is a free end, and an elastic clamping space is formed between adjacent spring arms.

[0019] Optionally, the telescopic drying basket includes a second drying clip disposed on the end cover, the second drying clip having a stored state that is housed inside the end cover and a used state that extends out of the end cover;

[0020] And / or, the telescopic drying basket includes a third drying clip disposed on the base, the third drying clip having a stored state that is housed inside the base and a used state that extends out of the base.

[0021] Optionally, the telescopic drying basket includes a second drying clip and a locking element; the end cap is provided with a rotating shaft, and the first end of the second drying clip is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft;

[0022] The locking member is movably connected to the end cap, and the locking member can reciprocate between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking member is in the locked position, it cooperates with the second drying clip to limit the rotation of the second end of the second drying clip to the outside of the end cap, so that the second drying clip is kept in a stored state inside the end cap. When the locking member is in the unlocked position, the second end of the second drying clip can rotate around the pivot to a working state that extends outside the end cap.

[0023] Optionally, the telescopic drying basket includes a hook, which is connected to the base and is attached to the target object so that the telescopic drying basket is attached to the target object.

[0024] Optionally, the hook is elastically connected to the base via a first elastic element, and the hook can move relative to the base between an initial position and a use position;

[0025] When the hook moves to the use position, an elastic clamping space for accommodating the target object is formed between the hook and the base, and the elastic force of the first elastic element makes the hook tend to clamp the target object.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This telescopic drying basket, by setting a telescopic component, allows the basket to have both an extended and a retracted state. When items need to be dried, the telescopic frame can be flexibly adjusted to regulate the spacing between adjacent crossbars, meeting different drying needs. When items are not needed, the telescopic frame can be retracted, allowing the telescopic component to be housed in the receiving cavity. The reduced size of the telescopic drying basket facilitates storage, and the telescopic component located in the receiving cavity is less prone to dust accumulation, solving the cleaning problem. The retractable drying basket also has a more aesthetically pleasing appearance when stored.

[0027] When unfolded, this telescopic drying basket can support items to be dried on the upper side of the crossbars using multiple crossbars, or clothes can be hung directly on the crossbars, or clothes can be clamped using the first drying clip on the crossbars. The drying methods are flexible and diverse, which can adapt to different drying needs and make it more practical.

[0028] Furthermore, the telescopic rack can be extended and retracted to adjust the distance between adjacent horizontal bars under different drying methods, so as to meet the drying needs of different items. For example, the adjacent horizontal bars can be moved further apart so that the clothes clamped on different horizontal bars are further apart and the ventilation effect is better.

Detailed Implementation

[0045] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0048] To address the problems of large size, easy dust accumulation, and limited functionality in existing drying devices, this application provides a telescopic drying basket. This telescopic drying basket is easy to store, has a small size when stored, and is not prone to dust accumulation. Furthermore, it is flexible in its use, allowing for adjustment of the spacing between adjacent crossbars to suit different drying needs, making it more convenient to use.

[0049] The telescopic drying basket of this application can be used to dry items that are easily deformed, items that are suitable for unfolding and flattening for drying, and small items. For example, the telescopic drying basket of this application can be used to dry underwear, socks, baby clothes, diapers, washcloths, silk clothes, towels, sports shoes, hats, gloves, toys, swimming caps, etc.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1 to 14 The specific structure of the telescopic drying basket of this application will be described below.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The telescopic drying basket includes a base 10, a telescopic component, and an end cap 20.

[0052] The base 10 is the basic support structure of the telescopic drying basket. When the telescopic drying basket is used, the base 10 is used to install it into the external environment so that the entire telescopic drying basket can be installed in the external environment. For example, the base 10 can be installed on a balcony railing to facilitate drying clothes outdoors or on a balcony; the base 10 can also be installed on an electric clothes dryer to make more flexible adjustments to the drying height using the lifting function of the electric clothes dryer; the base 10 can also be installed on a wall-mounted bracket to save bottom space, etc.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 The end cap 20 is disposed opposite to the base 10. A telescopic assembly is disposed between the base 10 and the end cap 20, and includes at least two telescopic frames 30 and at least two crossbars 40. The at least two telescopic frames 30 are spaced apart, with one end of each frame 30 connected to the base 10 and the other end connected to the end cap 20. Multiple crossbars 40 are disposed between two adjacent telescopic frames 30, with one end of each crossbar 40 connected to one of the frames and the other end connected to the other frame 30. For example, the two telescopic frames 30 are spaced apart along the x-direction, and the crossbars 40 are disposed between the two frames 30. Each frame 30 can extend and retract along the y-direction. The base 10 and the end cap 20 are disposed on opposite sides of the telescopic frames 30 along the y-direction, and the multiple crossbars 40 are spaced apart along the y-direction.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The telescopic drying basket also includes a first drying clip 50, which is disposed on the crossbar 40 and is used to clamp clothes. The first drying clip 50 may be provided on only some of the crossbars 40, or all crossbars 40 may be provided with a first drying clip 50. The first drying clip 50 and the crossbar 40 may be connected in a movable, detachable, or integral manner.

[0055] The extendable drying basket has both an extended and a retractable configuration. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 This indicates that the retractable drying basket is in the extended position. Figures 4 to 6 This indicates that the extendable drying basket is in its retracted state. When the user needs to dry items, the extendable drying basket will be adjusted from the retracted state to the extended state.

[0056] During the adjustment of the telescopic drying basket from the retractable state to the extended state, the telescopic frame 30 extends, the end cap 20 moves away from the base 10, adjacent crossbars 40 move further apart, and the distance between adjacent crossbars 40 increases. During the adjustment of the telescopic drying basket from the extended state to the retractable state, the telescopic frame 30 shortens, the end cap 20 moves closer to the base 10, adjacent crossbars 40 move closer together, and the distance between adjacent crossbars 40 decreases. Here, "extension" of the telescopic frame 30 refers to an increase in its dimension in the y-direction, and "shortening" refers to a decrease in its dimension in the y-direction.

[0057] When extended, the retractable drying basket offers a variety of flexible drying options. Users can use the multiple crossbars 40 to support items to be dried, such as laying easily deformed baby clothes flat on the crossbars 40, placing plush toys on the crossbars 40, or spreading towels suitable for drying on the crossbars 40. Figure 7 The illustration shows how to place a cushion on multiple horizontal bars 40 for drying. Users can also hang clothes directly on the horizontal bars 40. Clothes can also be held in place using the first drying clip 50 on the horizontal bars 40, such as baby clothes or socks. The clip 50 prevents clothes from being blown off.

[0058] Furthermore, when the telescopic drying basket is unfolded, the distance between adjacent crossbars 40 can be adjusted by extending or retracting the telescopic frame 30 under different drying methods to meet the drying needs of different items. For example, if larger items are to be dried, the distance between adjacent crossbars 40 can be increased to obtain better ventilation and accelerate the drying of clothes; if smaller items are to be dried, the distance between adjacent crossbars 40 can be appropriately reduced to improve space utilization.

[0059] When drying items is not needed, the user can adjust the telescopic drying basket from the extended state to the retracted state. When the telescopic drying basket is in the retracted state, the base 10 and the end cap 20 form a receiving cavity, and the telescopic components are housed within this cavity; that is, the telescopic frame 30 and the crossbar 40 are both housed within the receiving cavity. For example, as... Figure 1 , Figure 13 As shown, a first receiving groove 12 is provided on the side of the base 10 near the end cap 20. When the telescopic drying basket is in the stored state, the end cap 20 covers the opening of the first receiving groove 12 of the base 10, so that the crossbar 40, telescopic frame 30, etc. in the telescopic assembly are stored in the first receiving groove 12. Figure 13 The telescopic frame 30 structure is omitted, but the diagram shows multiple crossbars 40 stored side by side in the first receiving slot 12 in the stored state.

[0060] When folded, the telescopic drying basket is smaller in size, making it easier to store and saving space. It also has a simpler and more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance. Moreover, the telescopic frame 30 and crossbar 40 located inside the housing cavity are less prone to dust accumulation, overcoming the difficulty of cleaning these components. As for the base 10 and end cap 20, even if dust accumulates, the smooth surfaces of the base 10 and end cap 20 make cleaning easy.

[0061] The telescopic drying basket of this application has the advantages of convenient storage, low cleaning burden, and beautiful appearance. At the same time, it also has the flexibility and practicality of drying function. When unfolded, it can not only choose the appropriate drying method according to specific needs, such as placing the clothes to be dried on multiple horizontal bars 40, hanging them on the horizontal bars 40, or clamping them at the first drying clip 50, but also flexibly adjust the spacing between adjacent horizontal bars 40 to adapt to different needs in different drying scenarios, thus improving the practicality of the product.

[0062] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 7 , Figure 9 When the telescopic drying basket is in the extended state, the telescopic frames 30 located on both sides of the crossbar 40 can be used as guardrails, that is, the telescopic frames 30 located on both sides of the crossbar 40 are used as lateral blocking structures to prevent items placed on the multiple crossbars 40 from sliding off and falling off.

[0063] When the telescopic drying basket is in the extended state, the two ends of each crossbar 40 are connected to the lower side of two telescopic frames 30, so as to form a supporting drying space 200 between the upper side of the multiple crossbars 40 and the adjacent telescopic frames 30 (e.g., Figure 8 (Diagram of the area within the dashed box). The telescopic racks 30 on both sides serve as lateral blocking structures to support the drying space 200. In other words, when the telescopic drying basket is in the extended state, the tops of the multiple crossbars 40 are tangent to a virtual plane, and the telescopic racks 30 on both sides protrude upwards relative to this virtual plane to form lateral blocking structures that prevent items from falling.

[0064] In practical applications, when drying items such as toys, gloves, hats, and baby shoes, users unfold the telescopic drying basket and place the items in the supported drying space 200. Multiple crossbars 40 work together to provide support for the items. At this time, the telescopic frames 30, which protrude upwards relative to the virtual plane on both sides, act like guardrails, effectively preventing items from falling off and ensuring stability during the drying process. Similarly, the base 10 on the front and the end cap 20 on the rear can also be designed to protrude upwards relative to the plane containing the crossbars 40.

[0065] The telescopic drying basket of this application has a lateral blocking structure when unfolded, making it more convenient for users to organize items to be dried. For example, users can pour multiple washed toys directly into the supporting drying space 200 at the same time, and then simply move them a few times to separate the toys. During this process, the toys will not fall from the side. For another example, when users are organizing and picking up items by hand, even if they accidentally touch the items next to them, the touched items can be prevented from falling from the side by the lateral blocking structure, making the whole drying process easier, safer and more efficient.

[0066] Understandably, when placing items to be dried in the supporting drying space 200, the length of the telescopic frame 30 can be adjusted to allow the adjacent crossbars 40 to be spaced appropriately, so that the items to be dried will not fall through the gap between the two crossbars 40. Thus, multiple crossbars 40 can simultaneously support the items located on them.

[0067] Optionally, the first drying clip 50, which is located on the lower side of the crossbar 40, allows some items to be placed directly in the supporting drying space 200 when the telescopic drying basket is in the unfolded state. The first drying clip 50 is used to clip some items to the lower side of the crossbar 40 to meet the requirement that items can be dried on both the upper and lower sides of the crossbar 40, thereby increasing the drying capacity.

[0068] Optionally, the first drying clip 50 disposed on the crossbar 40 is positioned above the crossbar 40 (not shown in the figure). For example, for lightweight clothing that needs to be laid flat to dry, such as baby clothes, they can be laid flat on the upper side of multiple crossbars 40 and clamped by one or more first drying clips 50 to prevent them from being blown away and falling to the ground in strong winds, thus preventing them from becoming soiled. Of course, other methods can also be used as needed.

[0069] It is understandable that the first drying clip 50 can be fixedly connected to the crossbar 40, or it can be movably connected to the crossbar 40 to adjust the position of the first drying clip 50.

[0070] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 8 , Figure 9 The telescopic frame 30 includes multiple frame sections. The telescopic frame 30 is configured to extend and retract along the y-direction. The multiple frame sections are connected sequentially along the y-direction. The frame section at the first end in the y-direction is connected to the base 10, and the frame section at the last end in the y-direction is connected to the end cap 20.

[0071] Each frame is configured to include a first link 31 and a second link 32, the first link 31 and the second link 32 are staggered and hinged at the staggered position, and the hinged position of the first link 31 and the second link 32 in the same frame forms an staggered hinge part 301.

[0072] The connection between two adjacent frame sections is as follows: the end of each first link 31 is hinged to the end of the second link 32 in the frame section located beside it, and the hinged portion forms a lateral hinge portion 302. For example, the end of the first link 31 of the first frame section is hinged to the end of the second link 32 of the second frame section; the end of the second link 32 of the first clamping section is hinged to the end of the first link 31 of the second clamping section.

[0073] The telescopic rack 30 of this application features two connecting rods hinged to each frame section, with adjacent frame sections hinged at two locations. This allows the telescopic rack 30 to maintain good overall integrity and stability while achieving its telescopic function. The staggered connecting rod structure creates multiple load-bearing support points, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the telescopic rack 30. During the drying process, the weight of the items is evenly distributed across the frame sections and hinges, preventing localized overload. The telescopic rack 30 is easy to operate; users only need to gently push or pull, and the hinges can rotate flexibly to adjust the length of the telescopic rack 30.

[0074] Furthermore, the structural design of the telescopic frame 30 allows each connecting rod to rotate flexibly around the hinge point and move closer to each other when the telescopic frame 30 is retracted. When the telescopic frame 30 is fully retracted, several connecting rods and multiple crossbars 40 can be placed close together, allowing the end cap 20 to be closer to the base 10. This helps reduce the size of the telescopic drying basket in the y-direction during storage, thus reducing the space occupied in the stored state. For example, when the base 10 is hung on a balcony railing, retracting the telescopic frame 30 to store the telescopic drying basket allows the end cap 20 to be placed closer to the railing, reducing the thickness of the telescopic drying basket protruding relative to the railing and minimizing interference with the user's normal activities on the balcony.

[0075] Optionally, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 The base 10 is provided with a first mounting structure 71, and the number of first mounting structures 71 is the same as that of the telescopic frame 30. Each telescopic frame 30 is mounted to a first mounting structure 71. The first mounting structure 71 has a first hinge portion 711 and a first slide rail 712. Among the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 of the telescopic frame 30 near the base 10, one is hinged to the first hinge portion 711, and the other is slidably connected to the first slide rail 712.

[0076] Furthermore, the end cap 20 is provided with a second mounting structure 72, which has a second hinge portion 721 and a second slide rail 722; in the telescopic frame 30, one of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 near the end cap 20 is hinged to the second hinge portion 721, and the other is slidably connected to the second slide rail 722.

[0077] The first slide rail 712 and the second slide rail 722 both extend along the z-direction. For example, the base 10 is located on the front side of the telescopic drying basket, the end cap 20 is located on the rear side of the telescopic drying basket, and the two telescopic frames 30 are located on the left and right sides of the telescopic drying basket respectively. Each telescopic frame 30 can extend and retract in the front-back direction. In the frame part of the telescopic frame 30 near the base 10, the lower end of the connecting rod (such as the end of the second connecting rod 32) is hinged to the first hinge part 711, and the upper end of the connecting rod (such as the end of the first connecting rod 31) is slidably connected to the first slide rail 712. The upper end of the connecting rod can slide up and down along the first slide rail 712. Similarly, in the frame portion of the telescopic frame 30 near the end cap 20, the lower end of the connecting rod (such as the end of the first connecting rod 31) is hinged to the second hinge portion 721, and the upper end of the connecting rod (such as the end of the second connecting rod 32) is slidably connected to the second slide rail 722. The upper end of the connecting rod can slide up and down along the first slide rail 712.

[0078] It is understood that the telescopic frame 30 in this embodiment is configured such that: the first end of the telescopic frame 30 is hinged to the base 10 via the end of a connecting rod, and is slidably connected to the base 10 via the end of another connecting rod; similarly, the last end of the telescopic frame 30 is hinged to the end cap 20 via the end of a connecting rod, and is slidably connected to the end cap 20 via the end of another connecting rod. The assembly method between the telescopic frame 30, the base 10, and the end cap 20 in this embodiment allows the telescopic frame 30 to have more flexible adjustment capabilities. For example, when it is necessary to fine-tune the length of the telescopic frame 30, the connecting rod slidably connected to the base 10 or the end cap 20 can move a certain distance on the slide rail, while the connecting rod hinged to the base 10 or the end cap 20 provides rotational support, thereby achieving more precise length control. This overcomes the limitation that the telescopic stroke of the telescopic frame 30 depends only on the length of the connecting rod and the hinge point, providing more flexible adjustment performance of the telescopic frame 30 and making it easier to precisely adjust the spacing between adjacent crossbars 40.

[0079] Meanwhile, the sliding connection between the connecting rod and the base 10 and the end cap 20 provides additional guidance for the movement of the telescopic frame 30. During the telescopic process, the sliding connecting rod moves along the slide rail, ensuring that the telescopic frame 30 telescopically extends and retracts according to the preset trajectory, reducing offset and swaying during movement, improving the telescopic frame 30's ability to overcome external interference, and reducing the swaying and swinging of the telescopic frame 30. Furthermore, since the slidingly installed connecting rod can move within a certain range on the slide rail to accommodate installation errors, this installation method has lower requirements for installation accuracy, reduces assembly costs, and improves assembly efficiency. In addition, when the telescopic frame 30 retracts, the sliding connecting rod in this design can move along the slide rail, allowing each connecting rod to fit together more tightly, thereby reducing the volume of the telescopic frame 30 in the retracted state.

[0080] In other embodiments, the assembly of the telescopic frame 30 and the base 10 can also be as follows: a first hinge shaft is provided on the base 10, and the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 at the head end of the telescopic frame 30 are rotatably mounted on the first hinge shaft; a second hinge shaft is provided on the end cap 20, and the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 at the tail end of the telescopic frame 30 are rotatably mounted on the second hinge shaft. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the ends of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 at the head end of the telescopic frame 30 are rotatably mounted at different positions on the base 10, and the ends of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 at the tail end of the telescopic frame 30 are rotatably mounted at different positions on the end cap 20. This is as long as the telescopic frame 30 can extend and retract along the y-direction, allowing the end cap 20 and the base 10 to move closer or further apart.

[0081] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 The ends of each first connecting rod 31 are hinged to the ends of the second connecting rods 32 located on the side of the frame to form lateral hinge parts 302. The two ends of the crossbar 40 are respectively connected to the lateral hinge parts 302 located on both sides of it. When the weight of the items being dried is applied to the crossbar 40, the force can be transmitted more evenly and directly to each connecting rod through the lateral hinge parts 302, so that each connecting rod can share a part of the force, the force is more evenly distributed, and the load-bearing effect is good.

[0082] When the telescopic frame 30 is retracted and the telescopic drying basket is adjusted to the storage state, the multiple crossbars 40 move closer together, which can be located on the lower or upper side of the entire telescopic assembly, facilitating its layout within the receiving cavity and reducing interference between the crossbars 40 and other structural components within the cavity. The base 10 has two first mounting structures 71 inside, arranged one on the left and one on the right, corresponding to the left and right telescopic frames 30 respectively. In the storage state, the connecting rods in the left telescopic frame 30 are stored on the left side of the left first mounting structure 71, and the connecting rods in the right telescopic frame 30 are stored on the left side of the right first mounting structure 71. The multiple crossbars 40 are located in the lower space between the two first mounting structures 71 (e.g., Figure 13 (Illustrative) Or the space on the upper side, multiple crossbars 40 do not interfere with the two first installation structures 71, making the internal space of the telescopic drying basket more compact when it is in the storage state, which is conducive to reducing the external volume when stored.

[0083] In other embodiments, the two ends of the crossbar 40 are respectively connected to the cross hinges of the telescopic frame 30 located on both sides thereon.

[0084] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 11To improve the flexibility of the first drying clip 50, it is snap-fitted onto the crossbar 40. During manufacturing, this snap-fit ​​method ensures high installation efficiency. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly of the first drying clip 50 and the crossbar 40 allows for the expansion of its functions.

[0085] For example, the first drying clip 50 can be configured to slide on the crossbar 40 to adjust its position. For instance, the crossbar 40 may have a slot where the first drying clip 50 can be snapped into and moved within it. Alternatively, the first drying clip 50 can be detachably connected to the crossbar 40, allowing users to replace it with different sizes or types, or disassemble it, for greater flexibility.

[0086] Optionally, the first drying clip 50 includes a mounting rod 51 and a first clamping member 52 connected to the mounting rod 51. The mounting rod 51 engages with the crossbar 40 to connect the first drying clip 50 to the crossbar 40. The first clamping member 52 protrudes relative to the crossbar 40 so that the first clamping member 52 can be used to clamp items to be dried.

[0087] The number of first clamping members 52 is one or more. The first clamping member 52 is an integral structure with the mounting rod 51, or the first clamping member 52 is connected to the mounting rod 51 by means of screw fixing, snap-fit ​​engagement, welding connection, adhesive fixing, etc.

[0088] In one embodiment, the first drying clip 50 includes a mounting rod 51 to which a first clamping member 52 is connected. The mounting rod 51 is connected to a crossbar 40. The first clamping member 52 protrudes relative to the crossbar 40 and is used to clamp items to be dried. (See reference...) Figure 3 , Figure 11 The first clamping element 52 is a baby clip, suitable for holding small items such as baby clothes, diapers, and bibs. The opening and closing of the baby clip is relatively simple. The first clamping element 52 can be configured in at least two ways:

[0089] One configuration method for the first clamping component 52: Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 11 The first clamping member 52 is a spring arm. The first end of the spring arm is connected to the mounting rod 51, and the second end of the spring arm is a free end. An elastic clamping space 501 is formed between the spring arm and the mounting rod 51. An openable clamping opening is formed between the second end of the spring arm and the mounting rod 51. The clamping opening allows clothing to pass through and enter the elastic clamping space 501.

[0090] The second configuration of the first clamping member 52 is not shown in the figure. The first clamping member 52 includes two spring arms. The first end of each spring arm is connected to the mounting rod 51. The second end of each spring arm is a free end. An elastic clamping space 501 is formed between adjacent spring arms. An openable clamping opening is formed between the second ends of adjacent spring arms. The clamping opening allows clothing to pass through and enter the elastic clamping space 501.

[0091] It is understandable that in families with infants, a large number of small-sized baby items need to be washed and dried every day, such as baby clothes, diapers, and bibs. These items are not only small in size but also soft in material, and need to be secured with appropriate clips when drying. At the same time, considering that parents who take care of their babies may be short on time and have difficulty operating the clips, they also have high requirements for the ease of use of the clips. The first clip 52 is configured in the above two ways to facilitate the drying of baby products.

[0092] For example, in the first drying clip 50 of configuration one, after washing the baby's bib, the parent comes to the retractable drying basket to dry it. At this time, the parent only needs to gently pinch the second end of the elastic arm with one hand. Due to the elasticity of the elastic arm, the clip will open. The parent can easily pass one corner of the washed bib through the opened clip and into the elastic clamping space 501. Then, the parent releases the hand pinching the elastic arm, and the elastic arm returns to its original shape under its own elastic force, tightly clamping the bib. The whole process is simple and quick. Parents do not need to spend too much time and effort to quickly complete the drying of the bib, and can easily operate it even while holding the baby.

[0093] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 12 The end cap 20 is equipped with a second drying clip 60, which is used to hold clothes. In this way, the telescopic drying basket has a first drying clip 50 at the position of the crossbar 40 and a second drying clip 60 at the position of the end cap 20, which can expand the drying area and increase the drying capacity.

[0094] The second drying clip 60 and the first drying clip 50 can be the same type of drying clip or different types of drying clips. For example, the first drying clip 50 can be a baby clip, while the second drying clip 60 can be a spring clip. When using a spring clip, the two ends of the head are opened by pinching the tail. When the second drying clip 60 and the first drying clip 50 are configured as different types of drying clips, different drying needs can be met, making it more flexible.

[0095] Optionally, the second drying clip 60 is configured to be movably connected to the end cap 20, so that the second drying clip 60 can switch between a stored state housed inside the end cap 20 and a used state extended from the end cap 20. In this way, when the telescopic drying basket is in the stored state, the second drying clip 60 can be folded up and hidden, resulting in a cleaner appearance.

[0096] In one embodiment (not shown in the figure), the base 10 is provided with a third drying clip for holding clothes. Thus, the telescopic drying basket, with a first drying clip 50 at the crossbar 40 and a third drying clip at the base 10, can expand the drying area and increase the drying capacity.

[0097] The third drying clip and the first drying clip 50 can be the same type of drying clip or different types of drying clips. When the third drying clip and the first drying clip 50 are configured as different types of drying clips, different drying needs can be met, making it more flexible.

[0098] Optionally, the third drying clip is configured to be movably connected to the base 10, allowing it to switch between a retracted state housed within the base 10 and a used state extending beyond the base 10. This way, when the telescopic drying basket is in the retracted state, the third drying clip can be folded away and hidden, resulting in a cleaner appearance.

[0099] In one embodiment, to enhance the versatility and convenience of the retractable drying basket's drying function, the retractable drying basket includes a second drying clip 60 disposed on the end cap 20, and the second drying clip 60 can be adjusted between a stored state and a used state. The second drying clip 60 and the end cap 20 cooperate in the following manner to allow the second drying clip 60 to flexibly switch between the stored and used states:

[0100] like Figure 14 The end cap 20 is illustrated with a first mounting groove, and a first opening communicating with the first mounting groove is provided on one side of the end cap 20. A rotating shaft 21 is provided inside the first mounting groove. The rotating shaft 21 provides an installation position for the second drying clip 60 and provides rotational support and guidance for the second drying clip 60. The second drying clip 60 has a certain length, and its first end has a mounting hole. The first end of the second drying clip 60 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 21 through the mounting hole, so that the second drying clip 60 can rotate around the rotating shaft 21. The second end of the second drying clip 60 is a clamping end, which can be used to clamp clothes. The end cap 20 is also provided with a locking member 80, which is movably connected to the end cap 20. The locking member 80 can reciprocate between the locked position and the unlocked position by sliding, pressing, etc.

[0101] When the locking member 80 is in the locked position, the locking member 80 and the second drying clip 60 are mutually restrained, so that the locking member 80 restricts the second end of the second drying clip 60 from rotating outward toward the end cover 20, so that the second drying clip 60 is restricted to a stored state inside the end cover 20. At this time, the second drying clip 60 is completely hidden inside the end cover 20. From the outside, the telescopic drying basket is simple and beautiful, and the protrusion of the second drying clip 60 will not affect the storage or occupy extra space.

[0102] When the user needs to use the second drying clip 60, simply move the locking member 80 to the unlocked position. At this time, the limiting position between the locking member 80 and the second drying clip 60 is released, and the second end of the second drying clip 60 can rotate freely around the pivot 21, allowing the second drying clip 60 to pass through the first slot and extend outside the end cover 20. This allows the second drying clip 60 to be adjusted to its extended position outside the end cover 20, enabling it to hold small items such as socks and underwear for convenient daily drying.

[0103] Optionally, the locking member 80 and the second drying clip 60 are connected by a transmission structure, so that during the movement of the locking member 80 from the locked position to the unlocked position, the locking member 80 pulls the first end of the second drying clip 60 inward or pushes the second end of the second drying clip 60 outward, so that the second end of the second drying clip 60 can automatically rotate outward as the locking member 80 moves. Thus, when the locking member 80 moves to the unlocked position, the second drying clip 60 automatically rotates to the extended end cap 20 usage state. In other embodiments, after the locking member 80 moves to the unlocked position, the user manually operates the second drying clip 60 to rotate it to the extended end cap 20 usage state.

[0104] In one embodiment, refer to 1, Figures 6 to 8 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 The telescopic drying basket includes a hook 91, which is located on the base 10. The hook 91 is used to hang the telescopic drying basket on a target object, which can be, but is not limited to, metal railings, automatic clothes drying racks, automatic clothes drying rack brackets, conventional clothes drying racks, or wall-mounted brackets. By using the hook 91 to install the telescopic drying basket in the external environment, users can adjust the installation position of the telescopic drying basket according to specific needs, eliminating the need for complex installation tools such as electric drills and screwdrivers, making the installation of the telescopic drying basket more convenient.

[0105] The hook 91 can be U-shaped, hook-shaped, or a ring structure that can be opened and closed. These shapes facilitate hanging on the target object and are not easy to fall off. The hook 91 can be made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal, such as stainless steel, to ensure that it will not rust or deform during long-term use, thus ensuring the stability of the telescopic drying basket. Alternatively, the hook 91 can be made of high-strength engineering plastic, which is lightweight, relatively low-cost, and has a certain degree of strength and toughness.

[0106] Optionally, it includes multiple hooks 91, which are fixed to the base 10 at intervals. By hanging the target object at multiple positions, the weight of the telescopic drying basket can be distributed, thereby improving the installation stability and safety of the telescopic drying basket.

[0107] Optionally, the hook 91 is a hook 91, and the inner surface of the hook 91 is provided with anti-slip protrusions or textures. These anti-slip structures can increase the friction between the hook 91 and the target object, preventing the telescopic drying basket from shaking or slipping off due to wind or other external forces after it is hung. For example, some fine wavy textures or dotted protrusions can be provided.

[0108] Optionally, the hook 91 is located on the side of the base 10 away from the end cover 20. Taking the hook 91 as a U-shaped hook 91 as an example, the hook 91 is located at the front of the entire telescopic drying basket. After the hook 91 is hung on the target object such as the railing, the end cover 20 can be pulled back to unfold the telescopic drying basket for use.

[0109] Optionally, refer to Figure 13 The hook 91 is elastically connected to the base 10 via the first elastic element 92, and the hook 91 can move relative to the base 10 between the initial position and the use position. For example, the user can adjust the hook 91 from the initial position to the use position by pulling it outward by hand.

[0110] like Figure 4 As shown, when the hook 91 is in the initial position, it is stored inside the base 10. From the outside, the hook 91 does not protrude relative to the base 10, so that the overall appearance of the telescopic drying basket is flat and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0111] When the hook 91 is moved to the use position, a U-shaped hanging clamping space 300 is formed between the hook 91 and the base 10, and a hanging opening is formed at the bottom of the hook 91. This hanging clamping space 300 is an elastic space for accommodating the target object. In practical applications, the hook 91 can be installed vertically downwards from above the target object (such as a guardrail, pole, etc.), so that the target object is inserted into the elastic hanging clamping space 300 through the hanging opening, thereby realizing the hanging of the telescopic drying basket on the target object in the external environment.

[0112] During the movement of the hook 91 from its initial position to its working position, the first elastic element 92 is stretched and undergoes elastic deformation, accumulating elastic force during this process. When the hook 91 is attached to the target object and the target object is inserted into the hanging clamping space 300, the elastic force accumulated by the first elastic element 92 acts on the hook 91, applying a pulling force to the hook 91 to move it towards its initial position. This gives the hook 91 a tendency to move towards its initial position. Under the continuous action of the elastic force of the first elastic element 92, the hook 91 can clamp the target object, effectively preventing the hook 91 from loosening or detaching from the target object, thus improving the stability and reliability of the telescopic drying basket hanging.

[0113] The first elastic element 92 is configured between the hook 91 and the base 10, which allows the size of the hanging clamping space 300 to automatically adapt to targets of different sizes (such as guardrails and poles of different thicknesses), so that the inner side of the hook 91 and the base 10 are tightly attached to the surface of the target object, ensuring that a stable and reliable connection is formed between the hook 91 and the target object, effectively preventing the telescopic drying basket from shaking or falling off during the hanging process, and allowing the telescopic drying basket to be hung safely and stably in various usage scenarios.

[0114] Optionally, such as Figure 13 The base 10 has a second mounting groove 11 inside, and a first elastic element 92 is disposed within the second mounting groove 11. A second slot communicating with the second mounting groove 11 is provided on one side of the base 10. When the hook 91 is in its initial position, it is located within the second mounting groove 11, thus concealing the hook 91 and making the retractable drying basket more aesthetically pleasing. When the retractable drying basket needs to be hung, the hook 91 is pulled outwards, extending from the second slot to the outside of the base 10.

[0115] In other embodiments, when the hook 91 is in the initial position, it may also be located outside the base 10 (e.g., Figure 6 (Illustrative image). Alternatively, in other embodiments, the hook 91 only has a usage position and no initial position, that is, the hook 91 is fixedly connected to the base 10.

[0116] In other embodiments, the hook 91 can also be configured as a foldable structure. The hook 91 includes at least two relatively rotatable connecting segments, which are connected by a pivot 21 or a flexible connecting component. In the initial position, the hook 91 is folded and stored in the second mounting slot 11 of the base 10, reducing space occupation and making the appearance of the telescopic drying basket more concise. When hanging, the user first pulls the hook 91 out of the second slot, and then manually adjusts the angle of each connecting segment of the hook 91 according to the shape and position of the target object to better fit the target object. For example, if the target object is a rod with a certain curvature, the user can bend the connecting segments of the hook 91 to match the curvature, thereby forming a hanging clamping space 300 between the hook 91 and the base 10 that fits the target object better.
