Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a hook folding mechanism for a folding clothes rack. Background Technology
[0002] Clothes racks, as household items used daily, have become necessities for many families. Most existing clothes racks are designed for home use and are intended for hanging clothes year-round. Even those that are foldable are quite bulky and only suitable for use in spacious areas like balconies. They are inconvenient to use when people want to dry clothes indoors on rainy days. When people are traveling or staying in hotels, clothes racks take up a lot of space and are difficult to store. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a hook folding mechanism for a folding clothes rack.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0005] The folding mechanism of the hook of the folding clothes rack includes a rotatably connected curved arm bracket and an arc hook. The side of the curved arm bracket is provided with a through groove, and the end of the arc hook is provided with a hook body. The hook body can be inserted into the through groove or rotated out of the through groove as the arc hook rotates.
[0006] Preferably, a first mating hole is provided at the bottom end of the articulated arm bracket.
[0007] Preferably, a second mating hole is provided at the top end of the curved arm bracket, and a third mating hole is provided at one end of the arc-shaped hook.
[0008] Preferably, the second mating hole of the curved arm bracket and the third mating hole of the arc hook are connected by a pin.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the arc-shaped hook of the folding mechanism of the folding clothes rack of this utility model can be folded and unfolded relative to the curved arm bracket. In the folded state, the hook body of the arc-shaped hook can be inserted into the through slot of the curved arm bracket, which reduces the storage space and makes it convenient to carry.

[0012] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the folded state of the folding clothes rack of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0014] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the folding clothes rack includes a hook folding mechanism 1 and two L-shaped nested folding mechanisms 2 rotatably disposed on both sides of the hook folding mechanism 1. The hook folding mechanism 1 includes a rotatably connected curved arm bracket 11 and an arc-shaped hook 12. The bottom end of the curved arm bracket 11 is provided with a first mating hole 111, the top end of the curved arm bracket 11 is provided with a second mating hole 112, and the side of the curved arm bracket 11 is provided with a through groove 113. One end of the arc-shaped hook 12 is provided with a third mating hole 121, and the other end of the arc-shaped hook 12 is provided with a hook body 122. The second mating hole 112 of the curved arm bracket 11 and the third mating hole 121 of the arc-shaped hook 12 are connected by a pin 13, so that the arc-shaped hook 12 can rotate around the pin 13 to realize the unfolding and folding of the arc-shaped hook 12.
[0015] When using the clothes rack, bend the curved hook 12 upwards to make it rotate upwards around the pin 13 and unfold.
[0016] When storing the clothes rack, bend the curved hook 12 downwards so that the curved hook 12 rotates and folds downwards around the pin 13. The hook body 122 of the curved hook 12 is inserted into the through groove 113 of the curved arm bracket 11, thereby reducing the storage space occupied.
[0017] The L-shaped nested folding mechanism 2 includes a first arm 21 and a second arm 22 sleeved on the first arm 21. The cross-sections of the first arm 21 and the second arm 22 are L-shaped. The first arm 21 includes a bracket 211 and a guide rail 212 disposed at the end of the bracket 211. A fourth mating hole 2111 is provided at one end of the bracket 211 opposite to the guide rail 212. A first opening 2112 penetrating vertically is provided on the bracket 211. The second arm 22 is provided with a cavity 221 penetrating the top. A protrusion 222 is provided on the side of the second arm 22. A second opening 2221 penetrating vertically is provided on the protrusion 222. Connecting shafts 2222 are provided on both sides inside the second opening 2221. A fixing clip 223 is engaged on the connecting shaft 2222. The fixing clip 223 includes a locking part 2231 and a hook 2232. The fixing clip 223 is rotatably accommodated within the second opening 2221. The end of the guide rail 212 is provided with a buckle 2121. The buckle 2121 is elastic. The second arm 22 is sleeved on the guide rail 212 and is limited by the buckle 2121 to prevent the second arm 22 from falling off the guide rail 212.
[0018] The first mating hole 111 of the hook folding mechanism 1 and the fourth mating hole 2111 of the L-shaped nested folding mechanism 22 are rotatably connected by a connector 3, which includes a first connector 31 and a second connector 32 that cooperate with each other.
[0019] When using the folding clothes rack, the L-shaped nested folding mechanism 2 is opened to both sides, and the hook 122 of the arc hook 12 is rotated out of the through slot 113 of the curved arm bracket 11. The second arm 22 is pulled outward from the guide rail 212 of the first arm 21, thereby increasing the length of the first arm 21 and the second arm 22. The fixing clip 223 is rotated to make the hook 2232 extend outward from the second opening 2221.
[0020] When storing the folding clothes rack, first rotate the fixing clip 223 so that the fixing clip 223 is accommodated in the second opening 2221 of the protrusion 22. Then slide the second arm 22 towards the first arm 21. Then bend the arc hook 12 downward so that the arc hook 12 rotates and folds downward around the pin 13. The hook body 122 of the arc hook 12 is inserted into the through groove 113 of the curved arm bracket 11. Then bend the two L-shaped nested folding mechanisms 2 towards the hook folding mechanism 1 so that the folded hook folding mechanism 1 is accommodated in the first opening 2112 of the bracket 211. This realizes the folding of the clothes rack and reduces the storage space of the clothes rack.
[0021] The arc-shaped hook 12 of the hook folding mechanism 1 of this utility model can be folded and unfolded relative to the curved arm bracket 11. In the folded state, the hook body 122 of the arc-shaped hook 12 can be inserted into the through slot 113 of the curved arm bracket 11, which reduces the storage space and makes it convenient to carry.
[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments only illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
