Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of clothes drying equipment, and more particularly to a clothes drying rack and clothes drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of smart homes, clothes drying racks, as indispensable household appliances, have seen their functionality and performance optimization become a focus of industry attention. The drying rack structure, as a core component, directly affects the drying effect and user experience. Currently, to meet diverse user drying needs, some clothes drying racks have innovatively incorporated retractable drying net structures. When users need to spread out the drying rack, they simply unfold the net to provide a flat and large drying platform, significantly improving convenience and space utilization compared to traditional clotheslines.

[0003] However, due to design limitations, current drying nets lack an effective support structure at the bottom after being unfolded. Furthermore, the relatively soft texture of the nets, while lightweight, also introduces a risk of structural instability. When users place heavy items, such as thick objects or wet clothing, on the net, the middle section bears significant pressure. Lacking bottom support, this pressure easily causes the middle section of the net to collapse.

[0004] This collapse not only causes uneven stress on the drying net, but also makes it prone to irreversible deformation under prolonged stress, such as stretching, loosening, or even breakage. This shortens the lifespan of the drying net and increases user costs. Furthermore, the deformed net may affect the smoothness of its telescopic function during subsequent use, or even cause malfunctions in the telescopic structure, resulting in numerous inconveniences for users. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a clothes drying rack and clothes drying machine that can solve the problem in the prior art where the middle of the drying net is easily compressed and collapses or deforms.

[0008] Two parallel drying rods, each including a fixed rod and a telescopic rod, wherein the telescopic rod is telescopically mounted on the fixed rod;

[0009] A drying net assembly includes a roller and a drying net wound on the roller; the roller is fixedly installed between two fixed rods on both sides, and a fixed mating part is provided between two telescopic rods on both sides; or, the roller is fixedly installed between two telescopic rods on both sides, and a fixed mating part is provided between two fixed rods on both sides; or, the roller is fixedly installed on one of the telescopic rods, and the other telescopic rod is provided with a fixed mating part; a fixing component is provided at the free end of the drying net, and the fixing component can cooperate with the fixed mating part to fix the drying net in a state of being unfolded between the two telescopic rods on both sides;

[0010] The small horizontal bar can be slidably installed between the telescopic bars on both sides. When the drying net is unfolded, the small horizontal bar can support the drying net from the bottom side.

[0011] Optionally, the reel is fixedly installed between the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods on both sides; or, the fixing component is provided between the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods on both sides.

[0012] Optionally, it also includes a movable crossbeam, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods on both sides; wherein, the roller is installed on the movable crossbeam, or the fixing component is disposed on the movable crossbeam.

[0013] Optionally, the movable crossbeam is provided with a mounting groove, and the netting assembly is embedded in the mounting groove.

[0014] Optionally, it also includes a quilt drying rod arranged parallel to the drying rod, with movable connecting rods connected to both ends of the quilt drying rod, and the movable connecting rods being movably installed on the movable crossbeam; the movable crossbeam is provided with a storage area, and when the quilt drying rod is retracted, the movable connecting rods are stored in the storage area; wherein, the storage area and the mounting groove are respectively arranged along the length direction of the movable crossbeam.

[0015] Optionally, the mounting slot is located on the lower side of the storage area.

[0016] Optionally, it also includes a fixed crossbeam, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the fixed rods on both sides; wherein, the roller is installed on the fixed crossbeam, or the fixing component is disposed on the fixed crossbeam.

[0017] Optionally, the free end of the drying net is connected to a pull rod, and the fixing component is a fastening part provided on one side of the pull rod, the fastening part being adapted to fasten with the fixing mating part.

[0018] Optionally, it also includes a fixed crossbeam, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the fixed rods on both sides, and a guide rail groove is provided on the top side of the fixed crossbeam, which is adapted to provide sliding space for the slider of the telescopic bracket;

[0019] Wherein, a groove wall plate is formed on the fixed crossbeam, located on the side wall of the guide rail groove, the fixed mating part is formed on the groove wall plate, and the fastening part is provided with a fastening groove adapted to the groove wall plate;

[0020] Alternatively, the reel is mounted on the fixed crossbeam.

[0021] Optionally, the drying net assembly further includes a component housing, in which the roller and the drying net are installed; one side wall of the component housing is provided with an opening that allows the drying net to extend out, and the free end of the drying net extends out of the opening and is connected to the fixing component.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The clothes rack of this application utilizes a small crossbar structure that can be slidably installed between the telescopic rods on both sides. When the drying net is not in use, the small crossbar can provide independent support for drying. When the drying net is unfolded, the small crossbar provides effective support for the drying net from the bottom side, solving the problems of existing drying nets lacking bottom support after unfolding and being soft and easily deformed under pressure. This allows the drying net to withstand the laying of heavier items, ensuring that the items are flat and fully exposed to sunlight during the drying process, thus improving the drying effect. At the same time, since the small crossbar provides support for the drying net, the possibility of damage to the drying net due to deformation under pressure is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the drying net. In addition, the unfolding and fixing of the drying net is simple and convenient. Users only need to pull the free end of the drying net and fix it to the fixed mating part. The extension and retraction adjustment of the telescopic rod and the sliding adjustment of the small crossbar are also easy to operate. When quick retraction is required, users only need to push the telescopic rod to retract, which can quickly gather the drying net and the small crossbar to the end of the fixed rod, improving the convenience of operation and optimizing the user experience.

[0034] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0037] With the continuous development of smart homes, clothes drying racks, as indispensable household appliances, have seen their functionality and performance optimization become a focus of industry attention. The drying rack structure, as a core component, directly affects the drying effect and user experience. Currently, to meet diverse user drying needs, some clothes drying racks have innovatively incorporated retractable drying net structures. When users need to spread out the drying rack, they simply unfold the net to provide a flat and large drying platform, significantly improving convenience and space utilization compared to traditional clotheslines.

[0038] However, due to design limitations, current drying nets lack an effective support structure at the bottom after being unfolded. Furthermore, the relatively soft texture of the nets, while lightweight, also introduces a risk of structural instability. When users place heavy items, such as thick objects or wet clothing, on the net, the middle section bears significant pressure. Lacking bottom support, this pressure easily causes the middle section of the net to collapse.

[0039] This collapse not only causes uneven stress on the drying net, but also makes it prone to irreversible deformation under prolonged stress, such as stretching, loosening, or even breakage. This shortens the lifespan of the drying net and increases user costs. Furthermore, the deformed net may affect the smoothness of its telescopic function during subsequent use, or even cause malfunctions in the telescopic structure, resulting in numerous inconveniences for users.

[0040] To overcome the above technical problems, refer to Figures 1-5 This application provides a clothes drying rack, comprising:

[0041] Two parallel drying rods 1 each include a fixed rod 11 and a telescopic rod 12, wherein the telescopic rod 12 is telescopically installed on the fixed rod 11;

[0042] The drying net assembly 5 includes a roller 51 and a drying net 52 wound on the roller 51; the roller 51 is fixedly installed between the fixed rods 11 on both sides, and a fixed mating part is provided between the telescopic rods 12 on both sides; or, the roller 51 is fixedly installed between the telescopic rods 12 on both sides, and a fixed mating part is provided between the fixed rods 11 on both sides; or, the roller 51 is fixedly installed on one of the telescopic rods 12, and the other telescopic rod 12 is provided with a fixed mating part; a fixing component is provided at the free end of the drying net 52, and the fixing component can cooperate with the fixed mating part to fix the drying net 52 in a state of being unfolded between the telescopic rods 12 on both sides;

[0043] The small horizontal bar 6 is slidably installed between the telescopic bars 12 on both sides. When the drying net 52 is unfolded, the small horizontal bar 6 can support the drying net 52 from the bottom side.

[0044] In the structure of the clothes rack solution in this embodiment, the drying rods 1 are arranged in two parallel lines. Each drying rod 1 includes a fixed rod 11 and a telescopic rod 12. The telescopic rod 12 is telescopically mounted on the fixed rod 11. This design allows the clothes rack to be extended and retracted according to the actual drying space requirements. When more clothes or large items need to be dried, the telescopic rod 12 can be extended to increase the drying area; when not in use, the telescopic rod 12 can be retracted to reduce space occupation.

[0045] The drying net assembly 5 includes a roller 51 and a drying net 52 wound on the roller 51. The roller 51 can be installed in two ways: one is fixedly installed between the two fixed rods 11 on both sides, in which case a fixing engagement part is provided between the two telescopic rods 12 on both sides; another is fixedly installed between the two telescopic rods 12 on both sides, in which case a fixing engagement part is provided between the two fixed rods 11 on both sides; and a third is installed on one of the telescopic rods 12, in which case a fixing engagement part is provided on the other telescopic rod 12. The free end of the drying net 52 is provided with a fixing component, which can cooperate with the fixing engagement part on the clothes rack to fix it, thereby keeping the drying net 52 in an unfolded state between the two telescopic rods 12. This design allows the drying net 52 to be easily unfolded and retracted; when unfolded, it can be used to dry large items, and when retracted, it reduces space occupation. The roller 51 preferably adopts a structure with self-winding capability, that is, it is equipped with a coil spring inside. Under the action of the coil spring, it can always provide a twisting force to the spread-out drying net 52, so that the drying net 52 maintains a certain tension. At the same time, when the drying net 52 is retrieved, it can be rolled up quickly and orderly automatically.

[0046] The small horizontal bars 6 are slidably installed between the telescopic bars 12 on both sides. Depending on actual needs, any suitable number of small horizontal bars 6 can be set, such as one, two, three, four, or more. The main function of the small horizontal bars 6 is to provide support for the drying net 52 from the bottom side when the net 52 is unfolded, preventing the net 52 from collapsing or deforming due to the weight of heavy items. Simultaneously, when the net 52 is not unfolded, the small horizontal bars 6 can also be used for drying small items of clothing. In some embodiments, when multiple small horizontal bars 6 are set, a linkage mechanism can be set between the small horizontal bars 6, so that when the telescopic bar 12 is pulled to extend, the small horizontal bars 6 can be automatically pulled open through the linkage mechanism; when the telescopic bar 12 is retracted, the multiple small horizontal bars 6 can be brought together.

[0047] In this embodiment of the clothes rack, the overall length of the clothes rack can be adjusted by the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 12 within the fixed rod 11. During use, the user can manually push or pull the telescopic rod 12 to slide relative to the fixed rod 11 according to actual drying needs, thereby changing the drying area. After the telescopic rod 12 is extended, the small horizontal bars 6 can be laid out at intervals along the telescopic rod 12. With the drying net 52 not unfolded, the user can hang clothes on the small horizontal bars 6, thus providing more drying space. When the drying function is needed, the user pulls the free end of the drying net 52, causing it to unfold from the roller 51. As the net unfolds, the fixed part at its free end moves to the fixed mating part on the clothes rack and the two are locked together, keeping the net unfolded. At this time, the unfolded net 52 is located above the small horizontal bar 6, which provides support from the bottom side of the net. When heavy items are laid on the net, the small horizontal bar 6 can bear part of the weight of the net and the items, preventing the middle of the net from collapsing or deforming due to pressure. When the clothes rack is not in use, the user simply pushes the telescopic rod 12 to retract. Since the small horizontal bar 6 is slidably installed between the telescopic rods 12, and the net is wound on the roller 51, the small horizontal bar 6 and the net will converge at the end of the fixed rod 11 as the telescopic rod 12 moves, achieving quick retraction and reducing space occupation.

[0048] In summary, the clothes rack solution provided in this embodiment utilizes the structure of a small horizontal bar 6 that can be slidably installed between the telescopic rods 12 on both sides. When the drying net 52 is not in use, the small horizontal bar 6 can provide independent support for drying. When the drying net 52 is unfolded, the small horizontal bar 6 provides effective support for the drying net 52 from the bottom side, solving the problems of lack of bottom support and soft texture that makes the existing drying net 52 prone to collapse and deformation under pressure after unfolding. This allows the drying net 52 to withstand the laying of heavier items, ensuring that the items are flat and fully exposed to sunlight during the drying process, thus improving the drying effect. At the same time, since the small horizontal bar 6 provides support for the drying net 52, the possibility of the drying net 52 being damaged due to deformation under pressure is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the drying net 52. In addition, the unfolding and fixing of the drying net 52 is simple and convenient. Users only need to pull the free end of the drying net 52 and fix it to the fixed mating part. The telescopic adjustment of the telescopic rod 12 and the sliding adjustment of the small crossbar 6 are also easy to operate. When quick retraction is required, users only need to push the telescopic rod 12 to retract, which can quickly gather the drying net 52 and the small crossbar 6 to the end of the fixed rod 11, improving the convenience of operation and optimizing the user experience.

[0049] In one embodiment, the scroll 51 is fixedly installed between the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 12 on both sides; or, the fixing component is provided between the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 12 on both sides.

[0050] The telescopic rod 12 has a telescopic end and an insertion end at its two ends, respectively. The insertion end can be inserted into the fixed rod 11, and the telescopic end is the end that extends out of the fixed rod 11.

[0051] When the roller 51 is fixedly installed between the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 12 on both sides, this layout makes full use of the telescopic characteristics of the telescopic rods 12. Since the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 12 extend beyond the fixed rods 11, placing the roller 51 here allows the drying net 52 to be laid out based on the maximum extension length of the telescopic rods 12 when unfolded. For example, when the telescopic rods 12 are fully extended, the distance between the roller 51 and the fixed rods 11 reaches its maximum. After the drying net 52 is unfolded from the roller 51, its spreading range can cover the entire space after the telescopic rods 12 are extended, thereby maximizing the use of the length of the telescopic rods 12 and providing the user with the largest possible drying area. This is very advantageous for drying large items, such as bed sheets and blankets, ensuring that the items are fully unfolded and speeding up the drying process.

[0052] Similarly, if a fixing component is set between the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 12 on both sides, that is, the roller 51 is fixed between the two fixing rods 11, the unfolding effect of the drying net 52 can be optimized based on the telescopic principle of the telescopic rod 12. When the user pulls the free end of the drying net 52, the drying net 52 unfolds from the roller 51 until the fixing component at its free end cooperates with the fixing component at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 12 to fix it. At this time, the unfolded length of the drying net 52 matches the extended length of the telescopic rod 12, so that the drying net 52 can make full use of the space after the telescopic rod 12 is unfolded to achieve the maximum drying area.

[0053] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 2-3 It also includes a movable crossbeam 4, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 12 on both sides; wherein, the roller 51 is installed on the movable crossbeam 4, or the fixing component is disposed on the movable crossbeam 4.

[0054] In this embodiment, the two ends of the movable crossbeam 4 are fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 12 on both sides, forming a stable structural frame. This connection method ensures that the two drying rods 1 remain relatively stable in space, preventing left-right swaying or positional shift, thus guaranteeing the overall stability of the clothes rack. The roller 51 is installed on the movable crossbeam 4, or the fixing component is set on the movable crossbeam 4. As a key component connecting the telescopic rods 12 on both sides, the movable crossbeam 4 provides a reliable installation base for the roller 51 or the fixing component. By installing the roller 51 or the fixing component on the movable crossbeam 4, the drying net 52 can be easily placed between the telescopic rods 12 on both sides, making the unfolding and fixing of the drying net 52 more convenient.

[0055] Based on this embodiment, the movable crossbeam 4 connects the telescopic ends of the two telescopic rods 12, keeping the two drying rods 1 relatively stable and enhancing the overall structural strength of the clothes rack. When drying heavier items, the clothes rack can withstand greater weight and is less prone to swaying or tilting, ensuring the safety and stability of drying. Users can simultaneously extend and retract the two drying rods 1 by holding the movable crossbeam 4, eliminating the need to operate the telescopic rods 12 separately, greatly simplifying the operation and improving ease of use. The movable crossbeam 4 provides a reliable mounting base for the roller 51 or fixed components, facilitating the installation and use of the drying net 52. The drying net 52 can be accurately placed between the two telescopic rods 12, and its unfolding and fixing operations are simple and quick, improving drying efficiency.

[0056] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The movable crossbeam 4 is provided with an installation groove 42, and the drying net assembly 5 is embedded in the installation groove 42.

[0057] An installation groove 42 is provided on the movable crossbeam 4. This installation groove 42 is a groove structure with a certain shape and size, designed to accommodate the drying net assembly 5, enabling the drying net assembly 5 to be embedded in the movable crossbeam 4. This installation method makes the connection between the drying net assembly 5 and the movable crossbeam 4 more stable, reducing the possibility of the drying net assembly 5 shaking or falling off during use. When installing the drying net assembly 5, align the roller 51 and other parts of the drying net assembly 5 with the installation groove 42 on the movable crossbeam 4, and then use appropriate operations (such as pushing in, snapping in, etc.) to embed the drying net assembly 5 into the installation groove 42, ensuring that the drying net assembly 5 can be smoothly embedded and fixed in the correct position. After the drying net assembly 5 is embedded in the installation groove 42, the user can use the drying net 52 like a regular clothes rack drying net 52.

[0058] Furthermore, embedding the drying net assembly 5 within the movable crossbeam 4 results in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the clothes rack. The drying net assembly 5 does not protrude from the surface of the movable crossbeam 4, preventing it from affecting the overall appearance of the clothes rack and reducing the possibility of it colliding with other objects. The mounting slot 42 fully utilizes the space of the movable crossbeam 4, allowing the drying net assembly 5 to be compactly installed within it, reducing the overall space occupied by the clothes rack. This design also facilitates the storage and folding of the clothes rack; when not in use, it can be folded or retracted, further saving space.

[0059] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1-4 The clothes rack also includes a quilt drying rod 2 arranged parallel to the drying rod 1. Both ends of the quilt drying rod 2 are connected to movable connecting rods 21, which are movably installed on the movable crossbeam 4. The movable crossbeam 4 is provided with a storage area 41. When the quilt drying rod 2 is folded up, the movable connecting rods 21 are stored in the storage area 41. The storage area 41 and the mounting groove 42 are respectively arranged along the length direction of the movable crossbeam 4.

[0060] The quilt drying rod 2 is arranged parallel to the drying rod 1, with movable connecting rods 21 connected to both ends. The movable connecting rods 21 connect the quilt drying rod 2 and the movable crossbeam 4, allowing the quilt drying rod 2 to be connected to the movable crossbeam 4. The movable installation feature of the connecting rods 21 also provides the possibility for adjusting the position and retracting the quilt drying rod 2. When the quilt drying rod 2 is needed, it can be unfolded and suspended under the movable crossbeams 4 at both ends based on the movable drying rod 1, allowing the user to hang quilts on it. When the quilt drying rod 2 is not in use, it can be retracted close to the top, side, or bottom of the drying rod 1, ensuring it does not obstruct the drying function of the drying rod 1.

[0061] In addition to the previously mentioned mounting slot 42 for installing the drying net assembly 5, the movable crossbeam 4 also features a storage area 41. The storage area 41 and the mounting slot 42 are both positioned along the length of the movable crossbeam 4. This layout makes the functional zones of the movable crossbeam 4 more clearly defined, ensuring the installation of the drying net assembly 5 while providing dedicated storage space for the retraction of the movable connecting rod 21. When the quilt drying rod 2 is retracted, the movable connecting rod 21 can be stored within the storage area 41 of the movable crossbeam 4. This design allows the movable connecting rod 21 to be neatly stored away when not in use, reducing space occupation and making the overall structure of the clothes rack more compact. The addition of the quilt drying rod 2 diversifies the functions of the clothes rack, allowing it to not only dry ordinary clothes but also conveniently dry larger items such as quilts, meeting different user drying needs and improving the practicality of the clothes rack.

[0062] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 The mounting slot 42 is located on the lower side of the storage area 41.

[0063] The mounting slot 42 is positioned below the storage area 41, making full use of the vertical space of the movable beam 4. This layered layout avoids the mounting slot 42 and the storage area 41 occupying too much horizontal space, making the overall structure of the movable beam 4 more compact. Simultaneously, the vertical distribution of the mounting slot 42 and the storage area 41 ensures that the operation of the drying net assembly 5 and the quilt drying rod 2 is independent and does not interfere with each other. When the user unfolds or retracts the drying net 52, it will not affect the state of the movable connecting rod 21 of the quilt drying rod 2 within the storage area 41; similarly, unfolding or retracting the quilt drying rod 2 will not affect the drying net assembly 5. This design improves the convenience and safety of using the clothes rack.

[0064] In one embodiment, the clothes rack further includes a fixed crossbeam 3, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the fixed rods 11 on both sides; wherein, the roller 51 is installed on the fixed crossbeam 3, or the fixing component is disposed on the fixed crossbeam 3.

[0065] The two ends of the fixed crossbeam 3 are fixedly connected to the fixed rods 11 on both sides, forming a stable frame structure. The fixed rods 11 serve as the basic support part of the clothes rack. The addition of the fixed crossbeam 3 further enhances the stability and integrity of the entire clothes rack, enabling it to withstand greater weight without easily deforming.

[0066] The spool 51 is mounted on the fixed crossbeam 3, or the fixing component is set on the fixed crossbeam 3. That is, the fixed crossbeam 3 provides a reliable mounting platform for the spool 51 or the fixing component, ensuring the stability and reliability of the spool 51 and the fixing component during use.

[0067] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 6 The free end of the drying net 52 is connected to a pull rod 54, and the fixing component is a fastening part 541 provided on one side of the pull rod 54. The fastening part 541 is adapted to fasten with the fixing mating part.

[0068] The pull rod 54 is connected to the free end of the drying net 52, becoming an important extension component for the operation of the drying net 52. The pull rod 54 makes it easier for users to pull the drying net 52 to unfold, and also provides a basis for the installation of fixed components.

[0069] When the user needs to unfold the drying net 52, they grasp the lever 54 and pull it outwards. The drying net 52 gradually unfolds from the roller 51 under the action of the lever 54. When the drying net 52 is unfolded to the appropriate position, the fastening part 541 on the lever 54 approaches the fixed fitting part on the clothes rack. Through appropriate operation (such as pressing, snapping, etc.), the fastening part 541 and the fixed fitting part are fastened together, thereby fixing the drying net 52. This fastening method can provide a certain locking force to prevent the drying net 52 from shaking or retracting at will due to external force during use. When the user needs to retract the drying net 52, they only need to apply the opposite operating force (such as pulling, turning, etc.) to the fastening part 541 to separate the fastening part 541 from the fixed fitting part, so that the drying net 52 can be rewound back onto the roller 51.

[0070] In this embodiment, the pull rod 54 allows users to more easily pull and operate the drying net 52 without direct contact, avoiding operational difficulties caused by the material of the drying net 52 or the weight of the items being dried. Simultaneously, the engagement and disengagement of the fastening part 541 and the fixing part are simple and easy to understand, allowing users to easily unfold and retract the drying net 52, improving ease of use. The fastening method of the fastening part 541 and the fixing part provides a reliable fixing effect, ensuring the drying net 52 remains stable in the unfolded state. Even when subjected to external forces such as wind during drying, the drying net 52 will not easily shake or retract, ensuring both the drying effect and safety.

[0071] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 It also includes a fixed crossbeam 3, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the fixed rods 11 on both sides respectively. A guide rail groove is provided on the top side of the fixed crossbeam 3, and the guide rail groove is suitable for providing sliding space for the slider of the telescopic bracket.

[0072] Among them, a groove wall plate 31 is formed on the side wall of the guide rail groove on the fixed crossbeam 3, the fixed mating part is formed on the groove wall plate 31, and the fastening part 541 is provided with a fastening groove that is adapted to the groove wall plate 31.

[0073] Alternatively, the scroll 51 may be mounted on the fixed crossbeam 3.

[0074] In the application of clothes drying racks, in addition to the clothes rack, there are also main units and telescopic brackets. The main unit is equipped with a lifting device that can connect to the fixed crossbeam 3 downwards to suspend the clothes rack. The telescopic bracket is generally a telescopic scissor frame structure, with its upper and lower ends connecting the main unit and the clothes rack. During the lifting and lowering of the clothes rack, its telescopic scissor frame structure will automatically adjust its length according to the height change of the clothes rack, always maintaining the connection with the main unit and the clothes rack, thereby maintaining the stability of the clothes rack and preventing the clothes rack from shaking or tilting during the lifting and lowering process.

[0075] The guide rail groove provides sliding space for the slider of the telescopic bracket, making the lifting and lowering operation of the clothes rack smoother. Meanwhile, the engagement and disengagement of the fastening part 541 and the fixed fitting part are simple and easy to understand, allowing users to easily unfold, fix, and retract the drying net 52, improving ease of use. In the structural design, the installation of the telescopic bracket and the fixing function of the drying net 52 are integrated (i.e., the fixed crossbeam 3), resulting in a compact overall structure, fewer parts, lower cost, and complete functionality for the clothes rack. Furthermore, this also makes the solution of this embodiment easier to apply to the modification of existing clothes racks. Specifically, it only requires installing the drying net assembly 5 on the movable crossbeam 4 at the end of the telescopic rod 12, utilizing the existing fixed crossbeam 3 of the clothes rack for fixing, without requiring further modifications.

[0076] In one embodiment, the drying net assembly 5 further includes an assembly housing 53, in which the roller 51 and the drying net 52 are installed; one side wall of the assembly housing 53 is provided with an opening that allows the drying net 52 to extend out, and the free end of the drying net 52 extends out of the opening and is connected to the fixing component.

[0077] The component housing 53 has an opening on one side wall that allows the drying net 52 to extend out. This is a channel for the drying net 52 to unfold and retract. The drying net 52 can freely enter and exit as the roller 51 rotates through this opening, thereby completing the unfolding and retracting actions. The position and size of the opening need to be matched with the size and unfolding method of the drying net 52 to ensure that the drying net 52 can enter and exit smoothly.

[0078] The housing 53 provides a semi-enclosed space for the clothes drying rack assembly 5, housing the roller 51 and the drying net 52. This design protects and integrates the components, resulting in a more organized internal structure and reducing external environmental interference such as dust and debris, thus extending their lifespan. The housing 53 also makes the clothes drying rack assembly 5 look neater and more aesthetically pleasing, reducing the clutter caused by exposed components and enhancing its overall appearance, allowing it to better integrate into the home environment.

[0079] In one embodiment, the small crossbar 6 is provided with a clothing fastener 61 for securing the clothes being dried.

[0080] Clothing fasteners 61 are installed on the small horizontal bar 6. These fasteners 61 can take various forms, such as small clips, hooks, or Velcro. Their function is to secure the items being dried, preventing them from falling or shifting due to wind or movement during the drying process. When the user places the items (such as clothes, towels, etc.) on the small horizontal bar 6, the clothing fasteners 61 come into play. For example, if it is a small clip, the user can use the clamping force to secure the items to the small horizontal bar 6; if it is a hook, the user can hang the items on the hook or a suitable part of the hook to achieve this; if it is Velcro, the user can attach the items to the Velcro to complete the fixation. In this way, the items can be stably hung on the small horizontal bar 6 for drying.

[0081] Importantly, the garment fastener 61 is located on the bottom side of the small horizontal bar 6 and hangs downwards, which allows users to use the garment fastener 61 to hang small garments under the drying net 52 even after the drying net 52 is unfolded, thus providing more drying support.

[0082] On the other hand, a clothes drying rack is provided, including the aforementioned clothes rack.

[0083] The clothes drying rack mainly consists of a clothes rack, a telescopic bracket, and a main unit. The clothes rack includes the aforementioned fixed rod 11, fixed crossbeam 3, small crossbar 6, drying net assembly 5 (assembly shell 53, roller 51, drying net 52, pull rod 54 and fixing parts, etc.), telescopic bracket, and other components; the main unit has built-in core components such as a lifting device.

[0084] The lifting device in the main unit is activated, and the fixed crossbeam 3 is connected downwards via mechanical transmission (such as a steel wire rope), driving the entire clothes rack to move up and down. The telescopic bracket adopts a telescopic scissor frame structure, with its upper and lower ends connected to the main unit and the clothes rack respectively. During the lifting and lowering of the clothes rack, the telescopic bracket will automatically adjust its length according to the height change of the clothes rack, always maintaining a stable connection with the main unit and the clothes rack, ensuring that the clothes rack moves smoothly and does not shake during the lifting and lowering process.

[0085] The clothes drying rack of this embodiment can provide a drying net 52. When using the drying net 52, there is a small crossbar 6 at the bottom to provide support, which solves the problem that the bottom of the existing drying net 52 lacks support after unfolding and is soft and easily collapses and deforms under pressure. This allows the drying net 52 to withstand the laying of heavier items, ensuring that the items are flat and fully exposed to sunlight during the drying process, thus improving the drying effect. At the same time, since the small crossbar 6 provides support for the drying net 52, the possibility of the drying net 52 being damaged due to deformation under pressure is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the drying net 52.
