[0002] In the realm of daily life and household goods, clothes racks are essential tools for drying clothes, and their ease of use and spatial adaptability are of great concern. With the diversification of living space needs and the increase in temporary outdoor drying scenarios, traditional clothes racks can no longer fully meet users' requirements for efficient storage, convenient movement, and stable use. The research and development and improvement of folding clothes racks has become an industry trend, but existing technologies still have significant shortcomings.

[0003] Traditional fixed clothes racks, such as those installed on the roof of balconies, can achieve basic drying functions, but they have the problem of rigid space occupation. When not in use, they occupy a fixed space for a long time and cannot be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the dynamic needs of living space. This is especially prominent in small apartments, where the waste of limited space is particularly noticeable. To solve this problem, folding clothes racks have emerged. Through the design of hinges, buckles and other mechanisms, they can be folded to reduce volume when not in use, thus optimizing space storage to a certain extent.

[0004] However, existing folding clothes racks still have many shortcomings in practical applications that need to be addressed. Their ease of movement after folding is poor, and most products still require manual handling after folding. For clothes racks with multiple drying rods, sock racks, and other components that increase weight, the handling is strenuous and cannot meet the needs of users for easy movement.
