Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of daily necessities and relates to a shoe drying rack. Background Technology
[0002] Shoes are a necessity in daily life. Currently, after washing shoes, people usually place them directly on the balcony to dry. However, the above method of drying shoes will cause water to accumulate inside the shoes at the heel and not drain out easily, making it difficult for the shoes to dry properly.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, some shoe drying racks have begun to appear on the market. For example, Chinese patent literature discloses a shoe drying rack (application number: 202422191834.7), which includes a shoe drying rack body with several shoe supports on it. The shoe drying rack body is supported by at least two folding support rods on its periphery. When the folding support rods are unfolded, multiple folding support rods jointly support adjacent shoe drying rack bodies. When the folding support rods are folded up, they are folded into the gap between two shoe drying rack bodies. The folding support rods include a first rod and a second rod that are hinged to each other. When the folding support rods are unfolded, the connection between the first rod and the second rod is locked, keeping the first rod and the second rod in a vertical state. The two ends of the folding support rods are respectively hinged to two adjacent shoe drying rack bodies.
[0004] The shoe drying rack has the following shortcomings during use: it has a complex structure and large size, takes up a lot of space, and is inconvenient to carry and use. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems with existing technologies by providing a shoe drying rack. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is the inconvenience of carrying and using existing shoe drying racks.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A shoe drying rack includes a hook, characterized in that the lower end of the hook is integrally formed with a mounting rod, the mounting rod is elliptical and extends vertically, a drying rod is connected to the mounting rod, the drying rod includes two U-shaped fixed sections, the two fixed sections are arranged side by side and fixedly connected at their middle, the middle of the two fixed sections are also fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting rod, both ends of the fixed sections have "C"-shaped extension sections, the extension sections are inclined from top to bottom from the inside to the outside, there is a gap between the two extension sections on the same side of the hook, and the lower ends of the two extension sections on the same side are integrally connected by an arc-shaped segment.
[0008] This shoe drying rack is made of a single piece, consisting of a hook, mounting rod, and drying rod (including a fixed section, an extension section, and an arc section). It can dry two shoes at once, has a simple structure, small size, and is very lightweight, thus solving the problem of inconvenience in carrying and using existing shoe drying racks.
[0009] Specifically, the mounting rod is elliptical and extends vertically, allowing the shoe rack to remain suspended even after shoes are hung, thus improving structural compactness. To dry shoes, simply insert each shoe into the extension section located on either side of the hook. The two extension sections on the same side of the hook are spaced apart, and the rod-shaped extensions themselves reduce the contact area between the shoe rack and the shoes, providing better support and allowing the shoes to maintain their shape during drying. This allows for better natural air drying. The extension sections are angled from top to bottom and from the inside out, facilitating shoe insertion, accelerating moisture drainage, promoting air circulation, and speeding up moisture evaporation. Furthermore, the extension sections on the same side of the hook provide better support for the shoes. A hook is formed between the curved section and the two extension sections, allowing for the simultaneous drying of shoelaces, insoles, or socks. The elliptical mounting rod can also be used to store clips or dry shoelaces, scarves, and other items, enriching the drying functionality of the shoe rack.
[0010] In the aforementioned shoe drying rack, the distance between the extensions of the two drying rods on the same side of the hook gradually increases from top to bottom. This further improves the support of the shoes provided by the two extensions of the drying rods on the same side of the hook, thereby enhancing the stability of the shoe drying rack during use.
[0011] In the aforementioned shoe drying rack, the drying rods are symmetrically arranged relative to the mounting rod between the extensions on both sides of the hook. This ensures that the shoe drying rack is subjected to even force during drying, preventing unilateral tilting.
[0012] In the aforementioned shoe drying rack, the drying rods are symmetrically arranged relative to the mounting rod between the extension sections on the same side as the hooks. This ensures that the shoe drying rack is subjected to even force during drying, preventing tilting to one side.
[0013] In the aforementioned shoe drying rack, the fixed section of the drying rod is symmetrically arranged relative to the mounting rod. This further prevents the shoe drying rack from tilting to one side during use.
[0014] In the aforementioned shoe drying rack, the mounting rod, drying rod, extension section, and curved section are all made of metal and coated with a dip-coated layer. This dip-coated layer is integrally applied to the mounting rod, the two fixed sections, the four extension sections, and the two curved sections. The dip-coated layer provides rust prevention, making the shoe drying rack more durable.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this shoe drying rack are: it has a simple structure, small size, and is very lightweight, thus solving the problem of inconvenience in carrying and using existing shoe drying racks. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] A shoe drying rack, as shown Figure 1-3 The device includes a hook 1, with an integrally formed mounting rod 2 at the lower end of the hook 1. The mounting rod 2 is elliptical and extends vertically. A drying rod 3 is connected to the mounting rod 2. The drying rod 3 includes two U-shaped fixing sections 3a, which are arranged side by side and fixedly connected at their middle. The middle of the two fixing sections 3a is also fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting rod 2. Both ends of the fixing sections 3a have C-shaped extension sections 3b. The extension sections 3b are inclined from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside. There is a gap between the two extension sections 3b on the same side of the hook 1, and the lower ends of the two extension sections 3b on the same side are integrally connected by an arc-shaped section 3c.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the distance between the extensions 3b of the two drying rods 3 located on the same side of the hook 1 gradually increases from top to bottom.
[0024] When drying, simply insert both shoes onto the extension sections 3b located on either side of the hook 1. The two extension sections 3b on the same side of the hook 1 are spaced apart. Furthermore, the extension sections 3b themselves are rod-shaped, which reduces the contact area between the shoe rack and the shoes and provides better support, allowing the shoes to maintain their shape during drying. This enables the shoes to be better air-dried naturally. The extension sections 3b are angled from top to bottom and from the inside out. The spacing between the two drying rods 3 on the same side of the hook 1... The design gradually widens from top to bottom, which not only facilitates the insertion and drying of shoes, but also accelerates the outflow of moisture from inside the shoes, promotes air circulation, and speeds up the evaporation of moisture, but also makes the extension sections 3b of the two drying rods 3 located on the same side as the hook 1 provide better support for the shoes. At the same time, a hook is formed between the arc-shaped section 3c and the two extension sections 3b, which can be used to dry shoelaces, insoles, or socks at the same time. The elliptical ring-shaped mounting rod 2 can also be used to store clips or dry shoelaces, scarves, and other items, enriching the drying function of this shoe rack.
[0025] In this embodiment, the drying rod 3 is preferably arranged symmetrically with respect to the mounting rod 2 between the extension sections 3b on both sides of the hook 1; preferably, the drying rod 3 is preferably arranged symmetrically with respect to the mounting rod 2 between the extension sections 3b on the same side of the hook 1; preferably, the fixing section 3a of the drying rod 3 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the mounting rod 2.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] This embodiment is basically the same in structure and principle as Embodiment 1, except that: the mounting rod 2, drying rod 3, extension section 3b, and arc-shaped section 3c are all made of metal and covered with a dip-coated layer (not shown in the figure). The dip-coated layer is integrally covered on the mounting rod 2, the two fixed sections 3a, the four extension sections 3b, and the two arc-shaped sections 3c. During manufacturing, the shoe rack is simply immersed in a dip-coating solution containing plastic powder to cover the surface of the shoe rack with a layer of plastic, and then dried and cooled to form the dip-coated layer.
