A rotary connecting piece and a folding clothes hanger support

Abstract

This utility model provides a rotating connector and a folding clothes rack support. The rotating connector includes a connector body, with a first shaft hole and a second shaft hole respectively provided at its upper and lower ends. In the vertical state, the first shaft hole is located to the upper left or upper right of the second shaft hole. By providing staggered first and second shaft holes at the upper and lower ends of the rotating connector, this utility model facilitates the rotating connection between the rotating connector and a movable support or clothes rack. Furthermore, because the first shaft hole is located between the second shaft hole and the fixed support in the unfolded state, the movable support can form a self-locking vertical state, thus ensuring stable support for the clothes rack. When clothes are hung on the clothes rack, the self-locking stability of the movable support under gravity is even higher, ensuring the stable use of the clothes rack.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to a rotating connector and a folding clothes rack support. Background Technology

[0002] Existing retractable clothes racks typically work by rotating the top of the outer support rod onto the clothes rack, thus changing the unfolded state of the clothes rack by moving the outer support rod.

[0003] However, this connection method has some shortcomings. The support rod is directly rotatably connected to the clothes drying rod. During the drying process, when the clothes drying rod is hung at the end, the rotation between the clothes drying rod and the support rod is prone to deflection, which makes the stability of the clothes drying rack in the unfolded state lack and affects the normal use of the clothes drying rod.

[0004] To address this issue, we propose a rotating connector and a folding clothes rack support. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a rotating connector and a folding clothes rack support for stabilizing the structure of a clothes rack after it is unfolded.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a rotating connector, including a connector body, wherein a first shaft hole and a second shaft hole are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the connector body; in the vertical state of the connector body, the first shaft hole is located on the upper left or upper right side of the second shaft hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the connector body has a first through slot at the first shaft hole and a second through slot at the second shaft hole, with the first through slot and the second through slot connected at a right angle to form a clearance space during rotation.

[0008] Furthermore, the connector body is L-shaped, including a horizontal brace and a vertical brace, with the first shaft hole near the free end of the horizontal brace and the second shaft hole near the free end of the vertical brace.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper part of the side wall of the vertical support located on the same side as the free end of the horizontal support is set as an inclined surface.

[0010] Furthermore, a pulley is detachably provided on the inclined surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector body is provided with a support portion below the first bayonet.

[0012] Furthermore, each end of the pulley is provided with a horizontal shaft, and the inclined surface is provided with a notch for mounting the pulley and mounting grooves on both sides of the notch for mounting the horizontal shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom wall and / or top wall of the mounting groove are provided with limiting protrusions for limiting the horizontal axis.

[0014] A folding clothes rack support includes a support body and the aforementioned rotating connector. The support body includes a fixed support and a movable support. A foldable clothes rod is rotatably mounted on the top of the fixed support. The top of the movable support is rotatably connected to a second shaft hole, and the clothes rod is rotatably connected to a first shaft hole.

[0015] When the clothes rack is unfolded, the first shaft hole is located between the second shaft hole and the fixed support.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a sliding member, which is slidably sleeved on the clothes drying rod and rotatably engaged with the connecting body through the first shaft hole, and can slide along the length of the clothes drying rod.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention facilitates the rotational connection between the rotating connector and the movable support or clothesline by setting a first shaft hole and a second shaft hole at the top and bottom of the rotating connector, respectively. In the unfolded state, the first shaft hole is located between the second shaft hole and the fixed support, which enables the movable support to form a self-locking vertical state, thereby ensuring stable support for the clothesline. When clothes are being dried on the clothesline, the self-locking stability of the vertical state of the movable support is even higher under the pressure of gravity, thus ensuring the stable use of the clothesline.

[0027] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a rotating connector, comprising a connector body 1, wherein the upper and lower ends of the connector body 1 are respectively provided with a first shaft hole 11 and a second shaft hole 12; when the connector body 1 is in a vertical state, the first shaft hole 11 is located on the upper left or upper right side of the second shaft hole 12.

[0029] By setting the first shaft hole 11 on the upper left or upper right side of the second shaft hole 12, the first shaft hole 11 and the second shaft hole 12 are eccentric when subjected to downward pressure, so that the first shaft hole 11 and the second shaft hole 12 will not deflect, forming a self-locking vertical state. This allows the connector body 1 to rotate easily while not easily deflecting during use, ensuring the stability of the connector body 1.

[0030] In one embodiment, the connector body 1 has a first through-hole located at the first shaft hole 11 and a second through-hole located at the second shaft hole 12. The first through-hole and the second through-hole are connected at a right angle, forming a clearance space for rotation. This design, by setting the first and second through-holes and forming a clearance space for rotation at the right angle between the first and second through-holes, facilitates the rotation of the connector body 1, and the clearance space makes the connector body 1 easier to use.

[0031] In one embodiment, the connector body 1 is L-shaped, including a horizontal support 13 and a vertical support 14. The first shaft hole 11 is close to the free end of the horizontal support 13, and the second shaft hole 12 is close to the free end of the vertical support 14. This design achieves a staggered design of the first shaft hole 11 and the second shaft hole 12 by setting the first shaft hole 11 and the second shaft hole 12 at the free ends of the horizontal support 13 or the vertical support 14, respectively.

[0032] In one embodiment, the upper part of the side wall of the vertical support 14 located on the same side as the free end of the horizontal support 13 is provided as an inclined surface 15. This design, by setting the upper part of the side wall of the vertical support 14 as an inclined surface 15, facilitates the use of the connector body 1. During the rotation of the connector body 1, the inclined surface 15 can provide clearance during the rotation, avoiding rigid friction between the connector body 1 and the rod.

[0033] In one embodiment, a pulley 16 is detachably provided on the inclined surface 15. This design allows the pulley 16 to transform the rigid friction between the rod and the inclined surface 15 into sliding friction during the rotation of the connector body 1, thereby further facilitating the rotation of the connector body 1.

[0034] In one embodiment, the connector body 1 is provided with a support portion 17 located below the first bayonet. This design allows the support portion 17 to support the upper rod when the connector body 1 is in use, thus relieving the rotating shaft connected to the first shaft hole 11 of the pressure from the upper rod and improving the stability of the connector body 1 in use.

[0035] In one embodiment, the pulley 16 has a horizontal shaft 18 at each end, and the inclined surface 15 has a notch 151 for mounting the pulley 16 and mounting grooves 152 on both sides of the notch 151 for mounting the horizontal shafts 18. This design, by providing the notch 151 and the mounting grooves 152 for mounting the horizontal shafts 18, facilitates the installation of the pulley 16 and ensures its normal use.

[0036] In one embodiment, the bottom wall and / or top wall of the mounting groove 152 are provided with limiting protrusions 153 for limiting the horizontal shaft 18. This design, by providing the limiting protrusions 153, limits the horizontal shaft 18 after it is placed into the mounting groove 152, thereby ensuring the normal rotation of the pulley 16 and preventing the pulley 16 from falling off.

[0037] A folding clothes drying rack support includes a support body 2 and the aforementioned rotating connector. The support body 2 includes a fixed support 21 and a movable support 22. A foldable clothes drying rod 3 is rotatably mounted on the top of the fixed support 21. The top of the movable support 22 is rotatably connected to a second shaft hole 12. The clothes drying rod 3 is rotatably connected to a first shaft hole 11.

[0038] When the clothes rack is unfolded, the first shaft hole 11 is located between the second shaft hole 12 and the fixed support 21.

[0039] By pulling the movable support 22 outward, the rotating connector changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state. When fully extended, the first shaft hole 11 is located between the second shaft hole 12 and the fixed support 21, so that the movable support 22 forms a self-locking vertical state, ensuring stable support for the clothes drying rod 3. When clothes are drying on the clothes drying rod 3, the vertical state of the movable support 22 has higher self-locking stability under the pressure of gravity.

[0040] In one embodiment, a sliding member 4 is also included. The sliding member 4 is slidably sleeved on the clothes drying rod 3 and rotatably engaged with the connecting body 1 through the first shaft hole 11, and can slide along the length of the clothes drying rod 3. This design, by providing the sliding member 4, can increase the distance between the fixed support 21 and the movable support 22 during the unfolding process, thereby facilitating the use of the clothes drying rack.

[0041] Preferably, the clothes drying rod 3 is provided with a first limiting block 31 and a second limiting block 32 on both sides of the sliding member 4 to limit the movement of the sliding member 4. This design can limit the sliding of the sliding member 4, making it convenient to unfold or store the clothes drying rod 3.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
