Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothes drying rack technology, and in particular to an embedded clothes drying rack with drying function. Background Technology

[0002] An embedded clothes drying rack refers to a rack that is completely embedded in a groove in the ceiling. When decorating a user's interior, a suspended ceiling needs to be installed on the lower side of the ceiling. In order to install the clothes drying rack, a groove is reserved in the suspended ceiling.

[0003] For example, patent CN221971900U discloses an embedded clothes drying rack with a drying function, including a main unit, a liftable clothes drying component, and a panel structure of the embedded clothes drying rack. The panel structure includes a panel that serves as the lower panel (or a lampshade panel) of the main unit of the clothes drying rack and a cover plate for covering the reserved space between the clothes drying rack and the ceiling groove. After installation, the cover plate of the modular panel structure seals the reserved space between the ceiling and the main unit, and the entire panel structure is basically on the same plane as the bottom wall of the ceiling, achieving an integrated visual effect between the ceiling and the panel structure.

[0004] The problem with the above technology is that the embedded clothes dryer does not include a drying function, and cannot dry clothes when drying them in humid weather.

[0005] To address these technical issues, an embedded clothes drying machine with a drying function is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an embedded clothes drying rack with a drying function, which has a neat appearance and can dry clothes.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the problem is: an embedded clothes drying rack with a drying function, including a bottom shell, on which a drying device and a lifting device are provided. A U-shaped groove with an opening facing downward is provided inside the bottom shell. A lifting rod is movably arranged in the U-shaped groove. The lifting device is used to drive the lifting rod to move vertically. A cloth cover is hung on the lifting rod. A through groove communicating with the drying device and the cloth cover is provided inside the lifting rod. A clothes drying rod is movably arranged in the through groove. The bottom surface of the clothes drying rod is flush with the bottom surface of the bottom shell.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, air inlets communicating with the through groove are provided on both sides of the U-shaped groove, the drying device includes a fan, a heater is provided inside the fan, a fan is provided on both sides of the through groove, and the air outlet of the fan is connected to the air inlet.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a bracket is also included. The bracket includes a first horizontal portion and a second horizontal portion located below the first horizontal portion. A vertical portion is connected between the first horizontal portion and the second horizontal portion. The first horizontal portion is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom shell. The vertical portion fits against the side end of the U-shaped groove. The air inlet is disposed on the vertical portion. The fan is mounted on the second horizontal portion.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes a first mounting component, which is fixedly installed on the inner end of the vertical part. The first mounting component is provided with a first through hole that connects the air outlet and air inlet of the fan. A panel is provided at the bottom of the first mounting component, which is located at the bottom of the second horizontal part, and the bottom surface of the panel is flush with the bottom surface of the clothes drying rod.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a number of protrusions are provided on the outer side wall of the clothes drying rod, and the protrusions are engaged with the inner side wall of the through groove.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the two ends of the through groove are provided with second mounting components. The second mounting components are provided with a second through hole that connects the air inlet and the cloth cover. The bottom of the second mounting components is provided with a handle groove. The side end of the clothes drying rod is located next to the handle groove.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, an extension rod is connected between the clothes drying rod and the lifting rod.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lifting device includes a lifting winder, which is disposed on the top of the bottom shell. A traction rope is drivenly connected to the lifting winder, and an angle bracket is connected to the end of the traction rope. An inspection port is provided on the bottom shell, and the angle bracket is located at the inspection port and disposed on the top of the lifting rod. The device also includes a screw, which passes through the lifting rod from bottom to top and is screwed to the angle bracket.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a mounting groove is provided at the side end of the U-shaped groove, and a light strip is installed in the mounting groove.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, an upward-opening groove is provided on the side of the through groove, and a locking block is provided on the edge of the opening of the cloth cover, the locking block being engaged with the groove.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During installation, the bottom shell is installed in a pre-drilled groove in the ceiling. Under normal conditions, the cloth cover is disconnected from the lifting rod, and both the clothes drying rod and the lifting rod are retracted into the bottom shell. At this time, the bottom surface of the clothes drying rod is flush with the bottom surface of the bottom shell and is on the same plane as the bottom surface of the ceiling, which can make the interior appearance neat. During drying, the lifting device can drive the lifting rod to move downward. The user can detach the clothes drying rod from the lifting rod and install the cloth cover on the lifting rod. Then, the lifting device drives the lifting rod to move upward until the groove is connected to the drying device, thereby starting the drying device to send hot air into the cloth cover, which can achieve the effect of drying the clothes inside the cloth cover.
