Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated ceiling systems, specifically to an assembly structure for a clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Clothes drying racks provide a hanging point for clothes to dry, and are usually installed on the ceiling of a balcony. Existing clothes drying racks are suitable for installation on plaster ceilings or directly on the concrete layer of the roof. However, this installation method is inconvenient because the clothes drying rack cannot be installed in conjunction with integrated ceilings, and the completely exposed nature of the clothes drying rack affects the aesthetics and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a clothes drying rack assembly structure with a connecting frame. The clothes drying rack is installed in conjunction with an integrated ceiling through the connecting frame. This not only reduces structural modifications to the original clothes drying rack but also improves assembly and disassembly efficiency by allowing for installation in conjunction with an integrated ceiling. Furthermore, it allows for concealed installation of the clothes drying rack, enhancing the user experience.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following method: a clothes drying rack assembly structure with a connecting frame, including a keel assembly, a decorative panel suspended below the keel assembly, and a clothes drying rack. The decorative panel, arranged in a matrix, has an installation opening. The clothes drying rack is fitted with a connecting frame, and the clothes drying rack is inserted into the installation opening from bottom to top and fixed to the keel assembly through the connecting frame, so that the clothes drying rack is embedded and hidden within the installation opening. The clothes drying rack is installed in a pre-reserved installation opening on the integrated ceiling via the connecting frame. This reduces development costs by minimizing structural modifications to the original clothes drying rack, allows for compatible installation with the integrated ceiling, improves assembly and disassembly efficiency by sharing the keel assembly, and enhances aesthetics by concealing the clothes drying rack, ensuring a superior user experience.

[0005] Preferably, the connecting frame is square and arranged around the perimeter of the clothes dryer to seal the gap between the clothes dryer and the mounting opening. The connecting frame serves both to seal the gap between the side wall of the clothes dryer and the wall of the mounting opening, preventing the space above the integrated ceiling from being exposed, and to support the weight of the clothes dryer, ensuring that the clothes dryer can be stably fixed in the mounting opening and can withstand the weight of the hanging clothes.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting frame has the same outer edge profile as the decorative panel; or, the connecting frame has the same outer edge profile as at least two linearly arranged decorative panels; or, the connecting frame has the same outer edge profile as at least four matrix-arranged decorative panels. The mounting opening is formed by removing portions of the matrix-arranged decorative panels, so that the outer edge profile of the connecting frame has the same outer edge profile as several neatly arranged decorative panels. This eliminates the need to cut the decorative panels to obtain a pre-defined mounting opening and ensures that the outer edge of the connecting frame matches and fits snugly with the periphery of the mounting opening, thereby eliminating gaps between the mounting opening and the clothes dryer.

[0007] Preferably, the keel assembly includes horizontally parallel main keels and vertically parallel triangular keels suspended below the main keels. The clothes drying rack has an installation port and is inserted into the gap between the triangular keels and the main keels, so that the bottom surface of the clothes drying rack is flush with the bottom surface of the decorative panel. The main keels and triangular keels are perpendicular to each other, with the triangular keels laid below the main keels, so that the keel assembly covers the ceiling in a grid pattern, facilitating the installation of the decorative panel and the clothes drying rack. The installation port is formed by removing at least one decorative panel, facilitating the installation of the clothes drying rack.

[0008] Preferably, the clothes drying rack has a horizontally extending edging plate around its perimeter. The inner edge of the connecting frame has an insertion groove, which is horizontally fitted onto the edging plate to support and position the clothes drying rack. The outer wall of the clothes drying rack has a horizontally exposed edging plate. This horizontal arrangement facilitates horizontal insertion into the insertion groove and allows the bottom surface of the edging plate to overlap the bottom wall of the insertion groove, thereby transferring the weight of the clothes drying rack and clothes to the frame assembly. This ensures the clothes drying rack is securely installed and effectively conceals the gap between the connecting frame and the clothes drying rack, improving aesthetics.

[0009] Preferably, the outer walls of the connecting frame are all vertically flat, allowing the connecting frame to abut and fit against the side wall of the adjacent decorative panel. The outer wall of the connecting frame fitting snugly against the outer wall of the adjacent decorative panel effectively eliminates gaps between them, thereby improving aesthetics.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting frame includes two parallel long rods and a short rod spanning the corresponding ends of the long rods. The corresponding ends of the long and short rods are perpendicularly fixed to each other. The inner edges of both the long and short rods are provided with linear grooves with side openings. When installed in place, the side openings of the linear grooves are interconnected to form the insertion ring groove. The connecting frame is assembled from long and short rods cut from linear profiles, which is convenient for processing and can take advantage of the fact that the profiles have the same cross-sectional profile, using the linear grooves to enclose and form the insertion ring groove.

[0011] Preferably, the corresponding ends of the long and short rods are connected by angle brackets. The linear groove is set in the end slot above the end, and the two ends of the angle bracket are respectively inserted into the corresponding end slots and fixed and locked by vertically set fasteners. The angle brackets are used to connect adjacent long and short rods, ensuring that the connecting frame has good structural strength to meet the requirements of connecting the keel assembly and the clothes drying rack.

[0012] Preferably, the top wall of the end slot has a through hole, and the end of the corner bracket has a screw hole. A fastener passes through the through hole and is screwed into the screw hole to lock it in place, thus securing the end of the corner bracket to the end slot. The fastener vertically passes through the through hole and is screwed into the screw hole to ensure the corner bracket and the corresponding end slot are securely connected, facilitating assembly and disassembly.

[0013] Preferably, the long rod and its central top edge extend upward to form a connector plate that can be inserted and fixedly connected to the keel assembly. The connector plate is used to insert into the clamping opening of the triangular keel facing downward, so that the clothes drying rack is fixedly connected to the bottom of the keel assembly.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The clothes drying rack is installed in the pre-reserved installation opening on the integrated ceiling through the connecting frame. This reduces the structural modifications to the original clothes drying rack, lowers the R&D cost, allows for matching and installation with the integrated ceiling, improves disassembly and assembly efficiency by sharing the keel components, and also allows for a concealed installation of the clothes drying rack, enhancing aesthetics and ensuring a good user experience.

[0021] The essential features of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 The illustrated clothes drying rack assembly structure comprises a keel assembly 1, a decorative panel 2 suspended below the keel assembly 1, and a clothes drying rack 3. The decorative panel 2, arranged in a matrix, has an installation opening 5. A connecting frame 4 is fitted onto the clothes drying rack 3. The clothes drying rack 3 is inserted into the installation opening 5 from bottom to top and fixed to the keel assembly 1 through the connecting frame 4, thus concealing the clothes drying rack 3 within the installation opening 5. The clothes drying rack 3 is installed in the pre-reserved installation opening 5 on the integrated ceiling via the connecting frame 4. This design reduces development costs by minimizing structural modifications to the original clothes drying rack 3, allows for compatibility with the integrated ceiling, improves assembly and disassembly efficiency by sharing the keel assembly 1, and enhances aesthetics by concealing the clothes drying rack 3, ensuring a superior user experience.

[0023] In actual operation, the connecting frame 4 is square and surrounds the periphery of the clothes drying rack 3 to seal the gap between the clothes drying rack 3 and the mounting opening 5. The connecting frame 4 surrounds the periphery of the clothes drying rack 3 and abuts against the side wall of the adjacent decorative panel 2. It is also connected to the keel assembly 1 by inserting the plug plate 13 located at the top edge. The connecting frame 4 not only serves to fix the clothes drying rack 3 in place, ensuring that the clothes drying rack 3 is completely hidden in the mounting opening 5 for easy disassembly and maintenance, but also seals the gap between the periphery of the clothes drying rack 3 and the periphery of the mounting opening 5, effectively improving the aesthetics.

[0024] In practice, the decorative panels 2 arranged in a matrix are partially disassembled to form the mounting openings 5, such that the outline area of ​​the mounting openings 5 ​​is an integer multiple of the outline area of ​​the decorative panels 2 (e.g., ...). Figure 5 As shown, the installation opening 5 is formed simply by disassembling and assembling the decorative panel 2, without the need to cut the decorative panel 2, thus ensuring the integrity of the decorative panel 2. Since the outlines of the clothes drying rack 3 and the installation opening 5 differ, a connecting frame 4 is used to seal the gap between them, facilitating disassembly and maintenance while also improving aesthetics. Specifically, the connecting frame 4 has the same outer edge outline as the decorative panel 2; or, the connecting frame 4 has the same outer edge outline as at least two linearly arranged decorative panels 2; or, the connecting frame 4 has the same outer edge outline as at least four matrix-arranged decorative panels 2, all of which should be considered specific embodiments of this utility model.

[0025] In actual operation, the clothes drying rack 3 is designed to work with the integrated ceiling so that the size of the clothes drying rack 3 is slightly smaller than the size of the pre-reserved installation opening 5. This ensures that the clothes drying rack 3 can be smoothly inserted into the installation opening 5 and fixed in place, and also effectively reduces the gap between the clothes drying rack 3 and the installation opening 5, thus facilitating sealing through the connecting frame 4.

[0026] In actual operation, the keel assembly 1 includes a main keel arranged horizontally in parallel and a triangular keel suspended vertically in parallel below the main keel. The clothes drying rack 3 is inserted into the mounting port 5 and placed in the gap between the triangular keel and the main keel, so that the bottom surface of the clothes drying rack 3 is flush with the bottom surface of the decorative panel 2. The mounting port 5 is formed by the enclosing of adjacent main keels and adjacent triangular keels (e.g., Figure 4 As shown), an installation space is formed above the installation port 5 for the clothes drying rack 3 to be inserted. This ensures that the clothes drying rack 3 will not be unable to be fully inserted into the installation port 5 due to obstruction by the keel assembly 1, and also ensures that the connecting frame 4 located around the clothes drying rack 3 can be inserted into the corresponding triangular keel clamp through the plug plate 13, thus improving assembly convenience.

[0027] In actual operation, the periphery of the clothes drying rack 3 extends outward to form a horizontally arranged edging plate 6. The inner edge of the connecting frame 4 is provided with an insertion ring groove, which is horizontally fitted onto the edging plate 6 so that the clothes drying rack 3 is supported and positioned by the connecting frame 4. The connecting frame 4 includes two parallel long rods 8 and a short rod 9 spanning between the corresponding ends of the long rods 8. The corresponding ends of the long rods 8 and the short rods 9 are perpendicularly fixed to each other. The inner edges of the long rods 8 and the short rods 9 are provided with linear grooves 7 with side openings. When installed in place, the side openings of the linear grooves 7 are interconnected to form the insertion ring groove. During installation, the long rod 8 and the short rod 9 are horizontally fitted onto the corresponding side plate 6 through their respective linear grooves 7, so that the corresponding ends of the long rod 8 and the short rod 9 are brought together and connected and fixed by the corner bracket 10. The two long rods 8 and the two short rods 9 are spliced ​​together by vertically connecting at intervals to form a square frame 4, so that the linear grooves 7 form a plug-in ring groove by connecting the ends, which effectively prevents the side plate 6 from detaching from the plug-in ring groove and improves the reliability of the connection.

[0028] In actual operation, the corresponding ends of the long rod 8 and the short rod 9 are connected by angle brackets 10, and an end-positioning groove 14 is provided above the end of the linear groove 7 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), the two ends of the corner bracket 10 are respectively inserted into the corresponding end slots 14 and fixed and locked by vertically arranged fasteners. A through hole 12 is formed in the top wall of the end slot 14, and a screw hole 11 is provided at the end of the corner bracket 10. The fastener passes through the through hole 12 and is screwed into the screw hole 11 to lock it in place, so that the end of the corner bracket 10 is fixed to the end slot 14. The through hole 12 acts as a limit for the fastener. The end of the fastener is inserted downwards into the end slot 14 and screwed into the screw hole 11 to lock it in place. The vertical fastener prevents the corner bracket 10 from disengaging horizontally, and the through hole 12 prevents the fastener from shifting horizontally, ensuring that the corner bracket 10 is inserted and locked into the end slot 14. After the fastener is screwed into the screw hole 11, the bottom end of the fastener can also cooperate with the bottom wall of the insertion ring groove to clamp the edge plate, thus fixing the edge plate 6 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown).

[0029] In actual operation, the top edges of the long rod 8 and the short rod 9 extend upward to form a plug-in plate 13 that can be inserted and fixedly connected to the keel assembly 1. The plug-in plate 13 is provided in the middle of the top edges of the long rod 8 and the short rod 9 to facilitate insertion and connection with the clamp. The plug-in plates 13 are not provided at the two ends of the top edges to effectively avoid the triangular keel and facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the connecting frame 4 and the triangular keel.
