Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing drying technology, and in particular to a clothes rack and a clothes drying machine. Background Technology
[0002] A clothes drying rack typically consists of a main unit and a clothes rack. The clothes rack usually includes a clothes rod, which is connected to the main unit of the drying rack via connecting components such as scissor hooks and steel wire ropes.
[0003] Currently, the end caps on clotheslines primarily serve a decorative purpose, preventing the end structure from appearing obtrusive and lacking any additional drying function. When the drying space on the clothesline is insufficient, users typically expand the capacity by adding drying baskets, nets, or other drying tools to the pole. However, this external stacking method not only disrupts the overall integrity of the clothesline but also occupies extra space. Furthermore, these drying tools require additional mechanical parts for fixation, making installation cumbersome. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects or deficiencies of the prior art and provide a clothes drying rack with a drying extension module integrated at the end of the clothes drying rod. When in use, the drying capacity of the clothes drying rack can be easily expanded, and when not in use, it can be stored and hidden, while avoiding the exposed end structure of the clothes drying rod from appearing abrupt.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a clothes drying rack, including at least one set of clothes drying rods, and an extended drying module disposed at the end of the clothes drying rods. The extended drying module includes a box, a drying net, a winding mechanism, and a support frame. The box is disposed at the end of the clothes drying rods, the support frame is movably sleeved on the clothes drying rods, the winding mechanism is disposed in the box, and the drying net is wound into the box by the winding mechanism. The drying net is pulled out when the support frame extends and is retracted into the box when the support frame retracts.
[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the clothes rack provided by this utility model integrates a drying extension module at the end of the clothes drying rod. This module includes a box, a drying net, a winding mechanism, and a support frame. The box is located at the end of the clothes drying rod, the support frame is movably fitted onto the rod, and the winding mechanism is located within the box. The drying net is wound into the box via the winding mechanism; it is pulled out when the support frame extends and retracted into the box when the support frame retracts. Therefore, in use, the support frame is pulled out to unfold the drying net for drying clothes; when not in use, the support frame is pushed back, and the net is rolled up and hidden inside the box for storage. Furthermore, the box design conceals the end structure, preventing the clothes drying rod's end structure from being exposed and appearing abrupt, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0007] Furthermore, the support frame includes at least two first telescopic rods, which are movably sleeved on the clothes drying rod. The box body includes a main body with one open end and a pull-out net cover. The main body is located at the end of the clothes drying rod, and the pull-out net cover is located at the end of the first telescopic rod, and is movably closed to the opening via the first telescopic rod. One end of the drying net is connected to the winding mechanism, and the other end passes through the opening and is connected to the pull-out net cover. The design of the pull-out net cover and the main body of the box allows for concealed storage of the drying net and the winding mechanism, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The pull-out net cover is connected to the end of the first telescopic rod, and the extension / retraction of the first telescopic rod can be controlled by operating the pull-out net cover, facilitating the pulling out and retraction of the drying net.
[0008] Furthermore, the drying extension module also includes a support arm, one end of which is horizontally rotatably disposed within the main body of the box; when the support arm rotates to be parallel to the first telescopic rod, the other end of the support arm extends out of the main body of the box from the opening and abuts against the pull-out net cover. The support arm limits the position of the pull-out net cover and also acts as a fence to protect the clothes laid out on the drying net.
[0009] Furthermore, the support arm includes a support body and a telescopic arm; one end of the support body is horizontally rotatably disposed within the box body, and the telescopic arm is movably sleeved on the other end of the support body, with the end of the telescopic arm abutting against the pull-out mesh cover. The design of the telescopic arm reduces the space occupied by the support arm within the box body, contributing to a more compact structure for the drying extension module.
[0010] Furthermore, a first fixing part is provided at the end of the support arm, and a second fixing part is provided on the inner side of the mesh cover, the second fixing part matching the first fixing part. By providing the first and second fixing parts, the stability of the support arm abutting against the mesh cover is improved, while the support capacity of the support frame is also enhanced.
[0011] Furthermore, a partition is provided inside the main body of the box, dividing the internal space of the main body into a first space and a second space arranged vertically; the first space is used to accommodate the support arm, and the second space is used to accommodate the drying net and the winding mechanism. The partition design prevents functional interference between the support arm and the drying net and the winding mechanism.
[0012] Furthermore, the winding mechanism includes a spool extending along the length of the main body of the box. One end of the drying net is connected to the spool, and the other end passes through the opening and is connected to the net cover. The drying net is unfolded or rolled up by rotating the spool.
[0013] Furthermore, the end of the reel extends to the first telescopic rod and is located above the first telescopic rod; a transmission assembly is provided between the first telescopic rod and the reel, so that when the first telescopic rod extends / retracts, the first telescopic rod drives the reel to unfold / roll up the drying net through the transmission assembly. With the transmission assembly, the unfolding or rolling up of the drying net can be achieved by operating the first telescopic rod.
[0014] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a rack extending along the length of the first telescopic rod, and a gear sleeved on the reel, the gear being connected to the rack in a transmission manner;
[0015] or,
[0016] The transmission assembly includes a first rubber damping layer extending along the length of the first telescopic rod and a second rubber damping layer extending along the circumference of the reel, the second rubber damping layer abutting against the first rubber damping layer. Transmission between the first telescopic rod and the reel is achieved through the meshing of a rack and pinion, or through the abutting between the first and second rubber damping layers.
[0017] This utility model also provides a clothes drying machine, including a main unit of the clothes drying machine and a clothes rack as described above; the clothes drying rod is connected to the clothes rack.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this embodiment provides a clothes drying rack, including at least one set of clothes drying rods 10, and an extended drying module disposed at the end of the clothes drying rods 10. The extended drying module includes a box body 20, a drying net 60, a winding mechanism, and a support frame. The box body 20 is disposed at the end of the clothes drying rods 10, the support frame is movably sleeved on the clothes drying rods 10, the winding mechanism is disposed inside the box body 20, and the drying net 60 is wound up inside the box body 20 by the winding mechanism. The drying net 60 is pulled out when the support frame extends and is retracted into the box body 20 when the support frame retracts. By integrating a drying extension module at the end of the clothesline 10, the drying extension module includes a box 20, a drying net 60, a winding mechanism, and a support frame. The box 20 is located at the end of the clothesline 10, the support frame is movably fitted onto the clothesline 10, and the winding mechanism is located inside the box 20. The drying net 60 is wound up into the box 20 via the winding mechanism. The drying net is pulled out when the support frame extends and retracted into the box 20 when the support frame retracts. Thus, in use, by pulling out the support frame and unfolding the drying net 60, it can be used for drying clothes; when not in use, the support frame can be pushed back, and the drying net 60 can be rolled up and hidden inside the box for storage. Furthermore, the design of the box 20 allows the end structure of the clothesline to be hidden inside the box 20, thus avoiding the exposed end structure of the clothesline 10 from appearing abrupt and making it more aesthetically pleasing. In this embodiment, there are two clothes drying rods 20 and one drying extension module, which is disposed at the ends of the two clothes drying rods 20. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, there may be more than two clothes drying rods 10 and one drying extension module, with one drying extension module disposed at the ends of two or more clothes drying rods 10; or, there may be more than two clothes drying rods 10 and more than one drying extension module, with one drying extension module disposed for each pair of adjacent clothes drying rods 10.
[0030] The support frame includes at least two first telescopic rods 30, which are movably sleeved on the clothes drying rod 10. The box body 20 includes a box body 21 with one open end and a pull-out cover 22. The box body 21 is located at the end of the clothes drying rod 10, and the pull-out cover 22 is located at the end of the first telescopic rod 30 and is movably closed to the opening via the first telescopic rod 30. One end of the drying net 60 is connected to the winding mechanism, and the other end passes through the opening and is connected to the pull-out cover 22. The design of the pull-out cover 22 and the box body 21 allows for the concealed storage of the drying net 60 and the winding mechanism, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The pull-out cover 22 is connected to the end of the first telescopic rod 30, allowing the extension / retraction of the first telescopic rod 30 by operating the pull-out cover 22, facilitating the pulling out and retraction of the drying net 60. In this embodiment, the box body 21 is located at the end of the clothes drying rod 10, and the pull-out cover 22 is located at the end of the first telescopic rod 30. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the box body 21 can be located at the end of the first telescopic rod 30, and the pull net cover 22 can be located at the end of the clothes drying rod 10. In this case, the pull net cover 22 is only used to cover the opening of the box body 21. In this embodiment, there are two clothes drying rods 10, and correspondingly, there are two first telescopic rods 30. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, when there are more than two clothes drying rods 10, the number of first telescopic rods 30 can be only two, or correspondingly more than two.
[0031] In this embodiment, the clothes drying rod 10 is a telescopic clothes drying rod, which includes a main rod 11 and a second telescopic rod 12 movably sleeved on the main rod 11. The box body 21 is located at the end of the second telescopic rod 12, and the first telescopic rod 30 is movably sleeved on the second telescopic rod 12. The design of the second telescopic rod 12 further increases the drying capacity of the clothes drying rack. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the clothes drying rod 10 can be a non-telescopic clothes drying rod. In this embodiment, the main rod 11 and / or the second telescopic rod 12 are provided with a hanging part, which can be a hook hole, hook, etc. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the hanging part of the main rod 11 can be a drying rod located below the main rod 11, and the drying rod is connected to the main rod by a traction rope or telescopic arm or other connecting parts. The cross-sectional shape of the main rod 11, the first telescopic rod 30, and the second telescopic rod 12 shown in this embodiment can be a circular, elliptical, or rectangular polygonal shape, which can be determined according to the actual design and is not limited here.
[0032] In this embodiment, the drying extension module further includes a support arm 40, one end of which is horizontally rotatably disposed within the main body 21 of the box. When the support arm 40 rotates to be parallel to the first telescopic rod 30, the other end of the support arm 40 extends out of the main body 21 from the opening and abuts against the pull-out cover 22. The support arm 40 limits the pull-out cover 22, preventing the first telescopic rod 30 from retracting due to external force during the drying process. Simultaneously, the support arm 40 can act as a fence, providing protection for the clothes spread out on the drying net 60. In this embodiment, a vertically extending pivot is provided within the main body 21 of the box. One end of the support arm 40 has a shaft hole that mates with the pivot, allowing horizontal rotation of one end of the support arm 40 through the engagement of the pivot hole with the pivot. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the support arm 40 can achieve horizontal rotation through a hinge.
[0033] In some optional embodiments, the support arm 40 includes a support body 41 and a telescopic arm 42. One end of the support body 41 is horizontally rotatably disposed within the box body 21, and the telescopic arm 42 is movably sleeved on the other end of the support body 41, with the end of the telescopic arm 42 abutting against the pull-out cover 22. Specifically, the telescopic arm 42 is a rod that is movably sleeved on the support body 41. The design of the telescopic arm 42 reduces the space occupied by the support arm 40 within the box body 21, contributing to the compact structure of the drying extension module. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the telescopic arm 42 can be a multi-stage telescopic arm, with the fixed end of the multi-stage telescopic arm movably sleeved on the support body 41, and the extended end of the multi-stage telescopic arm abutting against the pull-out cover 22. The multi-stage telescopic arm allows for flexible adaptation to the extension length of the first telescopic rod 30. Of course, in some other alternative embodiments, the support arm 40 is not limited to the structural form of the support body 41 and the telescopic arm 42. For example, the support arm 40 may include the support body 41 and the folding rod, the folding rod is hinged to the end of the support body 41, and the end of the folding rod abuts against the mesh cover 22. The folding rod may be a single rod or a folding rod formed by hinged multiple rods in sequence.
[0034] In this embodiment, a first fixing part (not shown) is provided at the end of the support arm 40, and a second fixing part (not shown) is provided on the inner side of the mesh cover 22. The second fixing part matches the first fixing part. By providing the first and second fixing parts, the stability of the contact between the support arm 40 and the mesh cover 22 is improved, and the support capacity of the support frame is also improved. In this embodiment, the first fixing part and the second fixing part can cooperate by means of snap-fit, magnetic attraction, etc., which is not limited here.
[0035] In this embodiment, a partition 23 is provided inside the main body 21 of the box, dividing the internal space of the main body 21 into a first space and a second space arranged vertically. The first space is used to accommodate the support arm 40, and the second space is used to accommodate the drying net 60 and the winding mechanism. The design of the partition 23 avoids functional interference between the support arm 40, the drying net 60, and the winding mechanism. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the first space can be used to accommodate the drying net 60 and the winding mechanism, and the second space can be used to accommodate the support arm 40. In this case, the support arm 40 is only used to limit the position of the pull net cover 22 and improve the support capacity of the support frame, and does not act as a fence. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the main body 21 of the box is rectangular, and correspondingly, the partition 23 is a rectangular partition, and both the first space and the second space are rectangular spaces. The rectangular cross-sectional shape of the main body 21 of the box and the rectangular partition 23 help to fully utilize the space at the ends of the two clotheslines 10, improving space utilization. Of course, in some other optional embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the box body 21 can be elliptical, or a polygon other than a rectangle, or an irregular shape according to the actual design. The cross-sectional shape of the partition 23 can be designed to divide the internal space of the box body 21 into a first space and a second space arranged vertically, and is not limited here. In this embodiment, the opening is a rectangular opening, and the pull-mesh cover 22 is a rectangular cover. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the opening can be circular, elliptical, or a polygonal opening other than a rectangle, and correspondingly, the pull-mesh cover 22 can be a circular, elliptical, or a polygonal cover other than a rectangle.
[0036] In this embodiment, the winding mechanism includes a spool 50 extending along the length of the main body 21. One end of the drying net 60 is connected to the spool 50, and the other end passes through the opening and is connected to the net cover 22. The drying net 60 is unwound or rewound by rotating the spool 50. In some optional embodiments, the winding mechanism may further include a drive motor (not shown), which is disposed at one or both ends of the spool 50 and connected to it. The drive motor drives the spool 50 to rotate, thereby releasing / retracting the drying net 60.
[0037] In this embodiment, the drying net 60 is fixedly connected to the pull net cover 22. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the drying net 60 can be detachably connected to the pull net cover 22 by means of buckles, screws, hooks, etc. When maintaining the first telescopic rod 30, the drying net 60 can be removed and rolled up in the box body 21 by the roller 50, so as to avoid the drying net 60 obstructing the operation of maintenance personnel and facilitate the maintenance of the first telescopic rod 30.
[0038] In this embodiment, the main body 21 of the box has a connecting opening at the position corresponding to the end of the clothes drying rod 10. One end of the first telescopic rod 30 passes through the opening and extends into the main body 21 of the box, and then extends out through the connecting port to be movably sleeved with the second telescopic rod 12. With the above arrangement, when not in use, the rod of the first telescopic rod 30 is housed in the second telescopic rod 12, and the end of the first telescopic rod 30 is hidden inside the main body 21 of the box. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the first telescopic rod 30 may not pass through the main body 21 to be movably sleeved with the second telescopic rod 12. For example, the main body 21 of the box has an abutment at the position corresponding to the end of the clothes drying rod 10. The abutment is formed by the inward indentation of the surface of the main body 21 of the box. One end of the first telescopic rod 30 is connected to the pull net cover 22, and the other end passes through the abutment to be movably sleeved with the second telescopic rod 12.
[0039] In this embodiment, the end of the roller 50 extends to the first telescopic rod 30 and is located above the first telescopic rod 30. A transmission assembly is provided between the first telescopic rod 30 and the roller 50. When the first telescopic rod 30 extends / retracts, the first telescopic rod 30 drives the roller 50 to unfold / roll up the drying net 60 through the transmission assembly. With the transmission assembly, by manually pulling the net cover 22, the first telescopic rod 30 can be pulled out / pulled back, simultaneously driving the roller 50 to rotate and roll up / roll up the drying net; or, by driving a motor to drive the roller 50 to rotate and roll up / roll up the drying net 60, the first telescopic rod 30 can be extended / retracted. Of course, the rolling up / rolling up of the drying net 60 is not limited to manual operation or by driving a motor. For example, the winding mechanism may include a coil spring, with one end connected to the roller 50 and the other end connected to the net cover 22. In use, the net cover 22 is manually pulled to extend the first telescopic rod 30, unfolding the drying net 60. The support arm 40 then abuts against the net cover 22 for limiting its position. When not in use, the support arm 40 is retracted, and the net cover 22 can retract the first telescopic rod 30 under the action of the coil spring, thus rolling up and storing the drying net 60.
[0040] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the end of the spool 50 does not extend to the first telescopic rod 30, the spool 50 can be rotatably connected to the box body 21 through an intermediate member, and the transmission assembly is provided between the first telescopic rod 30 and the intermediate member.
[0041] In some alternative embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a gear transmission assembly. The gear transmission assembly includes a rack 31 extending along the length of the first telescopic rod 30, and a gear 51 sleeved on the reel 50, the gear 51 being driveably connected to the rack 31. The drive connection between the rack 31 and the gear 51 enables transmission between the first telescopic rod 30 and the reel 50. Figure 4 As shown, in use, by driving the roller 50 to rotate clockwise or pulling out the first telescopic rod 30, the first telescopic rod 30 is extended or the roller 50 rotates clockwise, thereby unfolding the drying net 60; as Figure 4 As shown, when not in use, the first telescopic rod 30 can be retracted or the roll 50 can be rotated counterclockwise by driving the spool 50 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby achieving the rolling up and storage of the drying net 60. Of course, the gear transmission assembly is not limited to the structure of the rack 31 and gear 51. For example, the gear transmission assembly may include a worm gear sleeve fitted onto the first telescopic rod 30 and a turbine fitted onto the roll 50. The worm gear sleeve and the turbine are connected in a transmission relationship, and the transmission between the first telescopic rod 30 and the roll 50 can also be achieved through the worm gear sleeve and the turbine. Furthermore, the worm gear and turbine transmission has self-locking properties, enabling the first telescopic rod 30 and the roll 50 to be held in any position. Of course, the worm gear sleeve and the first telescopic rod 30 can be integrally formed (i.e., the first telescopic rod 30 can be a worm) or they can be separate designs.
[0042] In some alternative embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a friction transmission assembly. The friction transmission assembly includes a first rubber damping layer 32 extending along the length of the first telescopic rod 30, and a second rubber damping layer 52 extending along the circumferential direction of the reel 50, the second rubber damping layer 52 abutting against the first rubber damping layer 32. The abutting between the first rubber damping layer 32 and the second rubber damping layer 52 achieves transmission between the first telescopic rod 30 and the reel 50. Figure 6 As shown, in use, by driving the roller 50 to rotate clockwise or pulling out the first telescopic rod 30, the first telescopic rod 30 is extended or the roller 50 rotates clockwise, thereby unfolding the drying net 60; as Figure 7As shown, when not in use, the first telescopic rod 30 is retracted or the roll 50 is rotated counterclockwise by driving the spool 50 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby achieving the rolling up and storage of the drying net 60. Of course, the friction transmission assembly is not limited to the structural form of the first rubber damping layer 32 and the second rubber damping layer 52. For example, the friction transmission assembly may include a first rubber damping sleeve sleeved on the first telescopic rod 30 and a second rubber damping sleeve sleeved on the roll 50. The second rubber damping sleeve abuts against the first rubber damping sleeve, which also achieves transmission between the first telescopic rod 30 and the roll 50. The first rubber damping sleeve and the first telescopic rod 30, as well as the second rubber damping sleeve and the roll 50, are all separate designs. It should be noted that the friction transmission assembly is not limited to being made of rubber material; it can also be made of polyurethane, damping alloy, or composite damping material. No restrictions are imposed here, and the appropriate material can be selected based on actual needs. In addition, by increasing the coefficient of friction between the second rubber damping layer 52 and the first rubber damping layer 32, a certain degree of self-locking can also be achieved, thereby enabling the first telescopic rod 30 and the scroll 50 to be stopped and held at any position.
[0043] In some optional embodiments, the first telescopic rod 30 and the second telescopic rod 12 can be guided to telescopically move through the cooperation of a groove and a protrusion. For example, the first telescopic rod 30 is provided with a groove extending along its length, and the second telescopic rod 12 is provided with a protrusion extending along its length, the protrusion matching the groove; or the first telescopic rod 30 is provided with a protrusion extending along its length, and the second telescopic rod 12 is provided with a groove extending along its length, the groove matching the protrusion. Thus, the cooperation of the groove and the protrusion improves the smoothness of the telescopic movement of the first telescopic rod 30, thereby improving the smoothness of the unfolding / rolling up of the drying net 60.
[0044] Compared with existing technologies, the clothes rack provided by this utility model integrates a drying extension module at the end of the clothes drying rod. This module includes a box, a drying net, a winding mechanism, and a support frame. The box is located at the end of the clothes drying rod, the support frame is movably fitted onto the rod, and the winding mechanism is located within the box. The drying net is wound into the box via the winding mechanism; it is pulled out when the support frame extends and retracted into the box when the support frame retracts. Therefore, in use, the support frame is pulled out to unfold the drying net for drying clothes; when not in use, the support frame is pushed back, and the net is rolled up and hidden inside the box for storage. Furthermore, the box design conceals the end structure, preventing the clothes drying rod's end structure from being exposed and appearing abrupt, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
