Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of daily necessities, and in particular to a drying rack frame structure. Background Technology

[0002] With social development, clothes racks have become a common household item. While clothes racks come in various types, their quality varies greatly. This is because the optimization of the frame's shape, structure, and materials, as well as the sturdiness of the frame connectors, determines the quality and lifespan of the rack. Existing clothes rack frame structures, after splicing the ends of the frame slats and installing the support strips, typically require manual labor or tooling for temporary positioning and fixation. Connectors are then added in subsequent processes to completely secure these positions. This often results in high initial investment costs due to the need for significant manpower or tooling in large-scale production.

[0003] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a drying rack frame structure that is simple, stable, and has low initial investment costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a drying rack frame structure that is simple, stable, and has low initial investment costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a drying rack frame structure, wherein the drying rack frame is a closed-loop frame structure formed by splicing the two ends of a single rib together through multiple continuous bending. One end of the rib is formed with a snap-fit ​​part, and the other end is formed with a slot for snap-fitting the snap-fit ​​part.

[0006] Furthermore, the drying rack frame also includes at least one support strip, which spans across and connects to the two opposite sides of the drying rack frame. The drying rack frame has at least one set of connecting holes, and the same set of connecting holes includes two connecting single holes respectively arranged on the two opposite sides of the frame. Each set of connecting holes corresponds one-to-one with a support strip so that the connecting parts formed at both ends of the support strip are respectively engaged into the two connecting single holes in the same set.

[0007] Furthermore, a T-shaped connector is provided between the end of any of the support bars and the drying rack frame. The T-shaped connector includes three mounting grooves extending along the three axes of the frame edge structure of the support bar and the drying rack frame, respectively. One of the mounting grooves installed on the end of the support bar has a first fixing part formed in close contact with both sides of the support bar. The other two mounting grooves installed on the frame edge side of the drying rack frame have a second fixing part formed in close contact with the outer side of the frame edge of the drying rack frame. The first fixing part is riveted to the end of the support bar, and the second fixing part is riveted to the frame edge of the drying rack frame.

[0008] Furthermore, both the support strip and the drying rack frame have several hanging holes, which are used for attaching clothespins or clothes racks.

[0009] The present invention adopts the above-described solution, and its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0010] In this embodiment, the drying rack frame, formed by repeatedly bending and splicing single ribs, features a structural design that allows the snap-fit ​​parts at both ends of the ribs to maintain their snap-fit ​​state without external intervention after engagement. Furthermore, the installation structure of the support bars is optimized so that the connecting parts at both ends of the support bars snap onto the connecting hole group of the drying rack frame, reducing the need for extensive manpower or tooling for pre-fixation and lowering initial investment costs. Secondly, T-shaped connectors are used to position and reinforce the snap-fit ​​positions at both ends of the ribs and between the drying rack frame and the support bars, making the overall structure more stable and reliable, thus extending the service life of the drying rack frame.

[0023] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description of it is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0024] See appendix Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a drying rack frame structure is provided. The drying rack frame 1 is a closed-loop frame structure formed by repeatedly bending a single rib to splice the two ends of the rib together. One end of the rib has a snap-fit ​​part 11, and the other end has a slot 12 for snap-fitting the snap-fit ​​part 11. See attached drawing. Figure 5 As shown at point B; in the traditional drying rack frame structure, after the two ends of the ribs are spliced, the splicing position needs to be fixed manually or with tooling. In the drying rack frame 1 of this embodiment, after the snap-fit ​​part 11 of the ribs and the snap-fit ​​groove 12 are snapped together, the protruding structure design of the snap-fit ​​part 11 and the concave structure design of the snap-fit ​​groove 12 prevent the snap-fit ​​part 11 from disengaging from the snap-fit ​​groove 12 in the horizontal direction, so as to facilitate the next installation process, thereby simplifying the operation process and reducing the initial investment cost.

[0025] Secondly, when assembling and splicing the drying rack frame 1: After the operator moves the snap-fit ​​part 11 to one side of the slot 12, the position of the snap-fit ​​part 11 is adjusted so that the snap-fit ​​part 11 and the slot 12 are at the same vertical height. Since the shape of the snap-fit ​​part 11 matches the shape of the slot 12, and the outer dimensions of the slot 12 are slightly larger than the outer dimensions of the snap-fit ​​part 11, the snap-fit ​​part 11 is then moved closer to one side of the slot 12 until the two sides of the snap-fit ​​part 11 are aligned with the two sides of the slot 12 in a straight line, so that the snap-fit ​​part 11 is snapped into the slot 12, and the snap-fit ​​part 11 cannot be disengaged from the slot 12 in the horizontal direction, thus completing the splicing of the drying rack frame 1.

[0026] See appendix Figure 7 As shown, the head of the latching part 11 has a circular structure, and the neck has a structure that is tangent to the circular structure of the head. Furthermore, the diameter of the head of the latching part 11 is larger than the diameter of the neck.

[0027] See appendix Figure 8As shown, the head of the latching part 11 has an axe-shaped structure and the neck has a rectangular structure. Similarly, the width of the head of the latching part 11 is greater than the width of its neck.

[0028] See appendix Figure 9 As shown, the snap-fit ​​part 11 has a trapezoidal structure with a longer top and a shorter bottom, wherein the head is the top of the trapezoid and the neck is the bottom of the trapezoid.

[0029] See appendix Figure 10 As shown, the snap-fit ​​part 11 has an overall arrow-shaped structure, wherein the head is an inverted triangle structure as shown in the arrow, and the neck is a rectangular structure as shown in the arrow. Similarly, the width of the head of the snap-fit ​​part 11 is greater than the width of its neck.

[0030] See appendix Figure 11 As shown, the latching part 11 has a T-shaped structure, wherein the head is a flat-head structure in the T-shape, and the neck is a horizontal structure perpendicular to the flat-head. Similarly, the width of the head of the latching part 11 is greater than the width of its neck.

[0031] In summary, please refer to the appendix. Figure 7-11 As shown, the diameter (width) of the head of the latching part 11 is larger than the diameter (width) of its neck. Furthermore, since the latching part 11 matches the shape of the slot 12, when the latching part 11 is latched from the side of the slot 12, the head of the latching part 11 cannot detach from the neck (notch structure) of the slot 12 in the horizontal direction.

[0032] See appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, furthermore, the drying rack frame 1 is also provided with three support strips 2 (the specific number of support strips 2 can be set according to the size of the drying rack frame 1 or the actual situation). The support strips 2 span across and connect to the two opposite sides of the drying rack frame 1. The drying rack frame 1 has three sets of connecting hole groups. Each connecting hole group includes two connecting single holes 13 respectively arranged on the two opposite sides of the frame. Each set of connecting hole groups corresponds one-to-one with a support strip 2 so that the connecting parts 21 formed at both ends of the support strip 2 are respectively snapped into the two connecting single holes 13 of the same group. One connecting single hole 13 of one set of connecting hole groups is set on the snapping part 11 (see Appendix). Figure 5 (as shown at point B); wherein, before the snap-fit ​​part 11 of the bone strip engages with the snap-fit ​​groove 12, the aforementioned support strips 2 can be pre-installed one-to-one onto the connecting hole group of the drying rack frame 1.

[0033] See appendix Figure 1 , 5 As shown, furthermore, a T-shaped connector 3 is provided between the end of any support bar 2 and the drying rack frame 1. Figure 5A T-shaped connector 3 is hidden at point C. The T-shaped connector 3 includes three mounting slots 31 extending axially along the support bar 2 and the frame edge structure of the drying rack frame 1. One mounting slot 31, mounted on the end of the support bar 2, has a first fixing part 32 formed within it, closely fitting the two sides of the support bar 2. The other two mounting slots 31, mounted on the frame edge side of the drying rack frame 1, have second fixing parts 33 formed within them, closely fitting the outer side of the frame edge of the drying rack frame 1. This connection is achieved by connecting the support bar 2 at its end and the drying rack frame... A T-shaped connector 3 is installed between the support strip 2 and the drying rack frame 1 (so that the T-shaped connector 3 is riveted and fixed to the support strip 2 and the drying rack frame 1 respectively), thereby reinforcing the engagement position between the support strip 2 and the drying rack frame 1. This prevents the engagement from relying solely on the engagement between the support strip 2 and the drying rack frame 1. During use, collisions or other events could cause the joint between the support strip engagement part 11 and the slot 12, as well as the engagement position between the support strip 2 and the drying rack frame 1, to loosen, leading to the loosening of the drying rack frame 1 and the detachment of the support strip 2. This improves the overall stability. Furthermore, refer to... Figure 1-5 As shown, the first fixing part 32 extends vertically to fit tightly against both sides of the support strip 2, and the second fixing part 33 extends horizontally to cover the outer side of the frame edge (see reference). Figure 2-3 As shown, the first fixing part 32 and the second fixing part 33 of the T-shaped connector 3 do not cover the bottom end face of the drying rack frame 1, but cover the splicing position of the rib snap-fit ​​part 11 and the slot 12 and the connecting single hole 13, so as to improve the overall aesthetics.

[0034] It should be noted that the drying rack frame 1 connects to both sides of the single hole 13 (see reference). Figure 5 As shown at point C, rivet holes 4 are formed on both ends of the support bar 2, wherein, as reference Figure 5 As shown at point B, rivet holes 4 are respectively provided on the snap-fit ​​part 11 and the snap-fit ​​groove 12 at one location on the drying rack frame 1; secondly, refer to Figure 6 As shown, both the first fixing part 32 and the second fixing part 33 have two rivet holes 4 formed on them. The two rivet holes 4 on the first fixing part 32 are aligned with each other, and the two rivet holes 4 on the second fixing part 33 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second fixing part 33.

[0035] In addition, the above-mentioned T-shaped connector 3 is used as follows: when the T-shaped connector 3 is installed at the snap-fit ​​position between the support bar 2 and the drying rack frame 1, the rivet holes 4 on both sides of the connecting single hole 13 are aligned with the two rivet holes 4 on the second fixing part 33, and the rivet holes 4 on the support bar 2 are aligned with the two rivet holes 4 on the first fixing part 32; after the pre-set rivets pass through the above-mentioned rivet holes 4, the rivets are pressed and riveted by the pre-set riveting device, so that the first fixing part 32 and the end of the support bar 2 are riveted together, and the second fixing part 33 and the frame edge of the drying rack frame 1 are riveted together.

[0036] In this embodiment, both the support bar 2 and the drying rack frame 1 are provided with several hanging holes. The hanging holes are used for attaching clothespins or clothes racks, thereby providing users with more ways and space to dry clothes and improving the user experience.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Any modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from its scope are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the concept of this utility model without departing from its scope should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
