Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothes drying rack technology, specifically to a housing and a clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Many smart clothes drying racks on the market currently use microphones mounted on the main unit to capture and transmit user voice signals for control. In existing technology, the microphone is typically fixed inside a rubber plug, with the plug cap inserted through a mounting hole in the housing. However, this method of microphone fixation makes the microphone prone to detaching from the rubber plug under external force. Furthermore, the rubber plug can also detach from the mounting hole in the opposite direction of installation under external force. This results in the voice function malfunctioning, impacting the user experience and causing inconvenience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned defects or problems in the prior art and provide a housing and a clothes drying rack that can prevent the microphone from detaching from the housing under external force and the housing from detaching from the mounting hole under external force, thus ensuring the stability of the housing and the microphone and improving the user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention and its preferred embodiments adopt the following technical solutions, but the embodiments are not limited to the following solutions:

[0005] The first technical solution relates to a receiving member, wherein the receiving member has a receiving cavity for receiving an object, the receiving cavity having an opening for the object to be placed into the receiving cavity along a first direction, the receiving member also having a locking hole and a locking part, the locking hole being opened along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the locking hole protruding from the receiving cavity away from the first direction, the locking part being correspondingly arranged with the locking hole along the second direction, the locking part being located on the opposite side of the locking hole, the locking part being adapted to deform to switch between a first state and a second state, in the first state, the locking part allowing the object to be placed into the receiving cavity, in the second state, the locking part engaging with the locking hole to prevent the object from leaving the receiving cavity away from the first direction.

[0006] The second technical solution is based on the first technical solution, wherein the accommodating member is any one of plastic, rubber, or silicone materials suitable for elastic deformation. The third technical solution is based on the second technical solution, wherein the accommodating member is adapted to be installed on the first wall, and the outer wall of the accommodating member has a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface that are opposite to each other and used to clamp the first wall therebetween.

[0007] The fourth technical solution is based on the third technical solution, wherein the accommodating member is adapted to be installed in the mounting hole of the first wall, the accommodating member is provided with an accommodating portion and a first abutting portion away from the first direction, the accommodating portion is provided with a main body and a second abutting portion, the first abutting portion is provided with a first abutting surface, the second abutting portion protrudes perpendicularly to the first direction from the outer wall of the main body and is provided with a second abutting surface, the second abutting portion is adapted to deform so that the accommodating portion passes through the mounting hole and is adapted to recover its deformation so as to clamp the first wall with the first abutting surface, the snap hole and the snapping portion are formed in the main body, and the first abutting portion and the main body surround to form the accommodating cavity.

[0008] The fifth technical solution is based on the fourth technical solution, wherein the surface of the second abutting part facing away from the first direction forms an inclined guide surface to penetrate the mounting hole so as to deform the second abutting part.

[0009] The sixth technical solution is based on the fourth technical solution, wherein the number of the second abutment parts is at least two, and each of the second abutment parts is arranged along the circumference of the main body.

[0010] The seventh technical solution relates to a clothes drying machine, which includes a clothes rack, a microphone, and a receiving component as described in any one of technical solutions 4 to 6. The clothes rack is provided with a cover, the cover is provided with a first wall, the first wall is provided with a mounting hole, and the receiving component houses the microphone and is mounted in the mounting hole.

[0011] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention and its preferred embodiments, compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention and its preferred embodiments have the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the following technical means:

[0012] In the first technical solution, the receiving component has a receiving cavity, thus it can accommodate an object. The receiving component also has a locking hole and a locking part. The locking hole is opened along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and protrudes out of the receiving cavity away from the first direction. The locking part is located in the second direction of the locking hole. Therefore, when an object is placed into the receiving cavity, it will not be obstructed. Furthermore, the locking part is adapted to bend or deform, so that in the first state, the locking part can make room for the object to be placed into the receiving cavity. In the second state, the locking part bends or deforms and engages with the locking hole to prevent the object from leaving the receiving cavity away from the first direction. Therefore, the receiving component using this technical solution can prevent objects from detaching from the receiving component under external force, thus avoiding malfunction of the device and affecting the user experience.

[0013] In the second technical solution, the receiving component is made of any material suitable for elastic deformation, such as plastic, rubber, or silicone. Therefore, the snap-fit ​​part in the receiving component is suitable for switching between the first state and the second state, making it easy for the user to operate when inserting or fixing an object, thus improving the user experience.

[0014] In the third technical solution, the outer wall of the accommodating member is provided with a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface that are opposite to each other and used to clamp the first wall therebetween. The first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are respectively adapted to abut against the first wall, thereby preventing the accommodating member from detaching from the first wall under the action of external force, ensuring the stability of the accommodating member in assembly or use, and improving the user's experience.

[0015] In the fourth technical solution, the receiving member is adapted to be installed in the mounting hole of the first wall. The receiving member is provided with a receiving part and a first abutting part along the first direction. The first abutting part is provided with a first abutting surface. When the receiving member is inserted into the mounting hole, the first abutting surface abuts against the first wall to prevent the receiving member from moving away from the first direction and entering the mounting hole as a whole under the action of external force, which would cause the receiving member to detach from the mounting hole, resulting in inconvenience in installation and affecting the user experience. The receiving part has a main body and a second abutting part. The second abutting part protrudes perpendicularly to the outer wall of the main body and is adapted to deform. Because the second abutting part is adapted to deform, the second abutting part will not abut against the first wall when the receiving part is inserted into the mounting hole. During installation, the second abutting part is subjected to force to deform and insert into the mounting hole. Furthermore, the second abutting part also has a second abutting surface. Therefore, when the main body of the receiving part completely penetrates the mounting hole and the first abutting surface abuts against the first wall, the second abutting surface of the second abutting part clamps the first wall with the first abutting surface, further preventing the receiving part from detaching from the mounting hole under external force and ensuring the user's experience.

[0016] In the fifth technical solution, the surface of the second abutting part facing away from the first direction forms an inclined guide surface to penetrate the mounting hole so that the second abutting part is deformed. The inclined guide surface is fitted with the mounting hole with a clearance, so that the main body of the accommodating part and the second abutting part can be easily inserted into the mounting hole. At the same time, it further ensures that the accommodating part will not easily fall out of the mounting hole under the action of external force during subsequent use.

[0017] In the sixth technical solution, there are two second abutment parts, each arranged along the circumference of the main body, which further ensures that the receiving part will not be dislodged from the mounting hole under external force, thus ensuring the user's experience.

[0018] In the seventh technical solution, the housing is fixed by mounting holes, the housing houses the microphone and the microphone is fixed by a mechanical snap-fit ​​structure, ensuring the stability of the housing and the microphone, thereby improving the user experience.

[0034] In the claims, description, and accompanying drawings of this utility model, the terms "comprising," "having," and variations thereof are used to mean "including but not limited to." See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the clothes drying rack 1 in this embodiment is shown. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the cover 3 of the clothes drying rack 1 in this embodiment is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the clothes drying rack 1 includes a clothes rack 2, a cover 3, a microphone 4, and a housing 5. The cover 3 includes a first wall 6, which has a mounting hole 7 for mounting the housing 5. The microphone 4 is placed in the housing 5, and the housing 5 is adapted to be mounted in the mounting hole 7 of the first wall 6.

[0035] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 The three-dimensional representation of the accommodating member 5 in this embodiment is shown. Figure 1 , Figure 4 The three-dimensional shape of the accommodating member 5 in this embodiment Figure 2 .like Figure 3 As shown, the accommodating member 5 includes an accommodating portion 8 and a first abutting portion 9. The accommodating member 5 is made of plastic; in this embodiment, the accommodating member 5 is made of rubber. The accommodating member 5 has an accommodating portion 8 away from the first direction, and the accommodating portion 8 also has a main body 10 and a second abutting portion 11.

[0036] like Figure 4As shown, the main body 10 forms a locking hole 12 and a locking part 13 opposite to the first direction. The locking hole 12 protrudes from the outside of the receiving cavity 14 opposite to the first direction and has an opening along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The locking parts 13 are arranged opposite to each other along the opening direction of the locking hole 12. The locking parts 13 are adapted to bend or deform so that the locking parts 13 are adapted to engage with the locking hole 12. The main body 10 and the first abutting part 9 enclose to form the receiving cavity 14. The receiving cavity 14 has an opening for objects to be inserted along the first direction.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second abutting part 11 is protruding along the outer wall of the main body 10 perpendicular to the first direction and is adapted to deformation. In this embodiment, there are two second abutting parts 11. Both second abutting parts 11 are arranged circumferentially along the outer wall of the main body 10. The two second abutting parts 11 are also provided with a second abutting surface 15 and form an inclined guide surface 16 along the surface opposite to the first direction.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the first abutting part 9 is arranged along the first direction of the receiving member 5 and is provided with a first abutting surface 17. The first abutting surface 17 and the second abutting surface 15 are arranged opposite to each other to sandwich the first wall 6 between them.

[0039] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram showing the latching portion 13 in its first state in this embodiment is illustrated. Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the locking hole 12 protrudes from the outside of the receiving cavity 14 away from the first direction, and the locking part 13 is set in the opposite direction to the opening direction of the locking hole 12. Both the locking hole 12 and the locking part 13 protrude from the outside of the receiving cavity 14. Since both the locking hole 12 and the locking part 13 protrude from the outside of the receiving cavity 14, the object will not be blocked when it is placed into the receiving cavity 14 along the first direction. The locking hole 12 and the locking part 13 are set to make way for the object to be placed into the receiving cavity 14. At this time, the pickup 4 can be placed into the receiving cavity 14 along the first direction.

[0040] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram showing the latching portion 13 in its second state in this embodiment is illustrated. Figure 6 As shown, at this time, the locking hole 12 and the locking part 13 are engaged. The locking part 13 is adapted to be bent or deformed and inserted into the locking hole 12 in the opening direction of the locking hole 12. After the locking part 13 is engaged with the locking hole 12, the opening of the receiving cavity 14 is blocked to prevent the microphone 4 from leaving the receiving cavity 14 in the direction away from the first direction. At this time, the microphone 4 is fixed in the receiving cavity 14.

[0041] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 This embodiment is a schematic diagram showing the accommodating component 5 inserted after being installed on the machine cover 3. Figure 8 It shows Figure 7 A sectional view along line AA. For example... Figure 2 As shown, first, the connecting wire of the pickup 4 is inserted into the mounting hole 7 provided in the first wall 6. Then, the pickup 4 is inserted into the receiving cavity 14 of the receiving member 5 along the first direction and pressed tightly. The snap-fit ​​part 13 is adapted to deform and be inserted into the buckle to fix the pickup 4 in the receiving cavity 14, preventing it from moving away from the first direction and detaching from the receiving cavity 14. Figure 7 As shown, the receiving part 5 is fully installed in the mounting hole 7 to complete the fixation of the pickup 4.

[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, specifically, the receiving member 5 passes through the mounting hole 7, and the main body 10 and the second abutting part 11 are placed into the mounting hole 7. The second abutting part 11 protrudes perpendicularly to the first direction from the outer wall of the main body 10 and is adapted to deform. Because the second abutting part 11 is adapted to deform, it will not abut against the first wall 6 when the receiving member 5 is inserted into the mounting hole 7. During operation, the second abutting part 11 is squeezed and deformed to pass through the mounting hole 7, and the inclined guide surface 16 of the second abutting part 11 is in clearance fit with the mounting hole 7. Therefore, the main body 10 and the second abutting part 11 of the receiving member 5 are easily inserted into the mounting hole 7. The main body 10 and the second abutting part 11 of the receiving member 5 completely pass through the mounting hole 7 until the first abutting surface 17 abuts against the first wall 6. At the same time, the second abutting surface 15 also abuts against the first wall 6. At this time, the second abutting surface 15 and the first abutting surface 17 clamp the first wall 6 between them. After the receiving part 5 passes through the mounting hole 7, both the locking hole 12 and the locking part 13 are in a state of protruding outside the receiving cavity 14 away from the first direction. The locking part 13 is adapted to bend or deform. After the microphone 4 is placed into the receiving cavity 14 along the first direction, the locking part 13 is adapted to bend or deform and be placed into the locking hole 12 in the opening direction of the locking hole 12. After the locking part 13 and the locking hole 12 are locked, the opening of the receiving cavity 14 is blocked to prevent the microphone 4 from leaving the receiving cavity 14 away from the first direction.

[0043] In this embodiment, since the receiving member 5 has a receiving cavity 14, it can accommodate objects. The receiving member 5 also has a locking hole 12 and a locking part 13. The locking hole 12 is opened along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and protrudes out of the receiving cavity 14 away from the first direction. The locking part 13 is located in the second direction of the locking hole 12. Therefore, when an object is placed into the receiving cavity 14, it will not be obstructed. Furthermore, the locking part 13 is adapted to bend or deform, so that in the first state, the locking part 13 can make room for the object to be placed into the receiving cavity 14. In the second state, the locking part 13 bends or deforms and engages with the locking hole 12 to prevent the object from leaving the receiving cavity 14 away from the first direction. Therefore, the receiving member 5 using this technical solution can prevent objects from leaving the receiving member 5 under the action of external force, which would cause the device to malfunction and affect the user experience.

[0044] In this embodiment, the receiving member 5 is made of plastic, which has elasticity. Therefore, the snap-fit ​​part 13 in the receiving member 5 is suitable for switching between the first state and the second state, making it easy for the user to operate when inserting or fixing objects, thus improving the user experience.

[0045] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the accommodating member 5 is provided with a first abutting surface 17 and a second abutting surface 15 that are opposite to each other and used to clamp the first wall 6 therebetween. The first abutting surface 17 and the second abutting surface 15 are respectively adapted to abut against the first wall 6, thereby preventing the accommodating member 5 from detaching from the first wall 6 under the action of external force. The accommodating member 5 is adapted to be installed in the mounting hole 7 of the first wall 6. The accommodating member 5 is provided with a accommodating portion 8 and a first abutting portion 9 along a first direction. The first abutting portion 9 is provided with a first abutting surface 17. When the accommodating member 5 is inserted into the mounting hole 7, the first abutting surface 17 abuts against the first wall 6, preventing the accommodating member 5 from moving away from the first direction and entering the mounting hole 7 as a whole under the action of external force, which would cause the accommodating member 5 to detach from the mounting hole 7, resulting in installation inconvenience and affecting the user experience. The receiving part 8 is provided with a main body 10 and a second abutting part 11. The second abutting part 11 protrudes perpendicularly to the outer wall of the main body 10 and is adapted to deform. Since the second abutting part 11 is adapted to deform, when the receiving part 5 is inserted into the mounting hole 7, the second abutting part 11 will not abut against the first wall 6. During installation, the second abutting part 11 is subjected to force and is adapted to deform to insert into the mounting hole 7. Furthermore, the second abutting part 11 is also provided with a second abutting surface 15. Therefore, when the main body 10 of the receiving part 5 completely penetrates the mounting hole 7 and the first abutting surface 17 abuts against the first wall 6, the second abutting surface 15 of the second abutting part 11 clamps the first wall 6, further preventing the receiving part 5 from detaching from the mounting hole 7 under the action of external force, and ensuring the user's experience.

[0046] In this embodiment, the surface of the second abutment 11 facing away from the first direction forms an inclined guide surface 16 to penetrate the mounting hole 7 so that the second abutment 11 is deformed. The inclined guide surface 16 is in clearance fit with the mounting hole 7. Therefore, during the assembly process, the main body 10 and the second abutment 11 can be easily inserted into the mounting hole 7. At the same time, it further ensures that the accommodating part 5 will not easily fall out of the mounting hole 7 under the action of external force during subsequent use.

[0047] In this embodiment, there are two second abutment portions 11, and each second abutment portion 11 is arranged along the circumference of the main body 10, which further ensures that the accommodating member 5 will not be dislodged from the mounting hole 7 under the action of external force, thus ensuring the user's experience.

[0048] In this embodiment, the housing is fixed by mounting holes, the housing houses the microphone and the microphone is fixed by a mechanical snap-fit ​​structure, ensuring the stability of the housing and the microphone, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] The foregoing description of the specifications and embodiments is intended to explain the scope of protection of this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of this utility model or a portion thereof that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation, based on the teachings of this utility model or the foregoing embodiments, should all be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
