Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home appliance technology, and in particular to a leveling mechanism, a pole assembly, and a clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of home appliances, it is usually necessary to use pull ropes to suspend and install the main body of the device. For example, when installing a clothes drying rack, at least two pull ropes are set at intervals along the length of the drying rack. The bottom of the pull rope is connected to the drying rack, and the top of the pull rope is installed to the installation above. Thus, the drying rack is suspended and installed on the installation by at least two pull ropes. The installation can be a ceiling, suspended ceiling, clothes drying rack main unit, etc.

[0003] However, in related technologies, when the main body of a home appliance is connected to the installation object by multiple pull ropes, problems such as tilting of the main body may occur, which not only affects the aesthetics but also the performance of the main body. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the objectives of this utility model embodiment is to provide a leveling mechanism. The fixed base is used to connect with the main body of the home appliance. While realizing the hoisting and installation of the main body of the appliance, the leveling mechanism also allows the height of the connection between the main body of the appliance and the pull rope to be adjusted by operating the adjustment component, which is convenient for adjustment.

[0005] The second objective of this utility model embodiment is to provide a rod assembly in which the height of the position where the fixed seat is installed can be adjusted by an adjusting component, making the adjustment operation convenient and quick.

[0006] The third objective of this utility model embodiment is to provide a clothes drying rack that allows for easy adjustment of the height of the connection between the drying rack and the pull rope while the drying rod is installed below the main unit, ensuring that the drying rack is used effectively.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A leveling mechanism, comprising:

[0009] A connecting assembly includes a pull rope and a lifting bolt; the end of the pull rope is connected to a limiting head, the lifting bolt has a limiting hole and an adjusting hole, and the limiting head is engaged in the limiting hole;

[0010] The fixed seat is movably connected to the lifting bolt;

[0011] An adjusting element extends into the adjusting hole and is threadedly connected to the adjusting hole;

[0012] The adjusting member can move axially along the adjusting hole under the action of adjusting force, so as to drive the fixed seat to move relative to the connecting assembly.

[0013] The height of the fixed base can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting component, thereby enabling the leveling operation of the main body of the device connected to the fixed base. The leveling operation is convenient and quick. In addition, the lifting bolt adopts a double-cavity design, with the adjusting component and the pull rope limit head respectively cooperating with different holes of the lifting bolt, reducing wear and improving stability.

[0014] Optionally, the lifting bolt is provided with a rope passage hole, which is located on one side of the adjustment hole in the radial direction and communicates with the adjustment hole. One side of the lifting bolt has a rope threading opening that communicates with the rope passage hole.

[0015] The limiting hole has a first opening and a second opening at both ends. The limiting head can enter the limiting hole through the first opening, and the pull rope extends out of the limiting hole through the second opening. The lifting bolt cooperates with the limiting head to limit the limiting head from coming out of the limiting hole through the second opening.

[0016] The assembly of the pull rope and the lifting bolt is quicker and easier. After inserting the pull rope into the limiting hole of the lifting bolt from the side, pull the pull rope to make the limiting head enter the limiting hole, thus achieving quick assembly of the pull rope and the lifting bolt.

[0017] Optionally, the limiting hole is located on one side of the adjusting hole in the radial direction, and the limiting hole is parallel to the adjusting hole. This configuration makes the adjustment easier to operate and conforms to daily height adjustment habits.

[0018] Optionally, the adjusting component is an adjusting bolt, with the pull rope and the adjusting bolt extending from opposite sides of the bolt. For example, the pull rope extends from the upper side of the bolt, and the adjusting bolt extends from the lower side. This reasonable layout not only facilitates adjustment and avoids interference between components, but also allows the operator to access the adjusting bolt from below the clothes drying rack when the leveling mechanism is used for leveling the drying rack. Even if the drying rack is located high up, or is hidden inside the main unit or ceiling, the leveling operation is still conveniently performed from below.

[0019] A pole assembly includes a pole and a leveling mechanism as described above; the fixing base is connected to the pole. The pole can be installed to an upper object, such as a suspended ceiling, by pulling a rope, and the levelness of the pole can be adjusted by operating an adjusting mechanism.

[0020] Optionally, the leveling mechanism is provided at both ends of the rod, and the fixing seat is a plug located at the end of the rod. Using the plugs at both ends of the rod as fixing seats for the leveling mechanism not only reduces the material required for additional fixing seats, but also ensures stable suspension installation of the rod by connecting both ends of the rod to the top mounting via two pull ropes. Furthermore, compared to a design where the adjusting component is located near the middle of the rod, the position of the adjusting component closer to the end of the rod results in higher efficiency in the leveling operation.

[0021] Optionally, the rod body has an internal cavity, the fixing seat includes an insertion part with an assembly groove, the insertion part is inserted into the internal cavity, and the lifting bolt is disposed in the assembly groove; the rod body has a first clearance opening, and the pull rope extends out of the assembly groove and through the first clearance opening to the outside of the rod body. This design offers high assembly efficiency for the lifting bolt, fixing seat, and rod body, and simplifies the assembly process.

[0022] Optionally, the rod body includes a first plate portion, and the insertion portion has an assembly port communicating with the assembly groove on the side near the first plate portion. The first clearance opening is disposed on the first plate portion at a position corresponding to the assembly port. The first clearance opening and the assembly port are used for the lifting bolt to be inserted into the assembly groove.

[0023] The pole assembly includes a first cover that covers the first clearance opening. The first cover is connected to the pole or to the mounting base. The pull cord passes through the first cover and extends to the outside of the pole. The first cover enhances the integrity of the pole assembly and also prevents dust from entering the pole.

[0024] Optionally, the first cover is connected to the rod body by an elastic snap fastener, or to the fixing seat by an elastic snap fastener;

[0025] When the adjusting member is separated from the lifting bolt, the lifting bolt can abut against the first cover under the action of external force, so as to separate the first cover from the fixing seat or the rod and cause the lifting bolt to disengage from the rod.

[0026] Optionally, the bottom of the rod has a base plate that supports the insertion part. A through hole is provided on the side of the insertion part near the base plate. A second clearance opening is provided on the base plate corresponding to the through hole. The adjusting member passes through the second clearance opening and the through hole to extend into the assembly groove and is threadedly connected to the adjusting hole. This design facilitates rod disassembly and maintenance, improving after-sales service convenience.

[0027] Optionally, the end of the adjusting member is an operating end, and the operating end is located outside the fixed base;

[0028] The rod assembly includes a second cover that covers the second clearance opening and the operating end. The second cover is detachably connected to the rod or to the fixing base. Under normal conditions, the second cover obstructs the adjusting component, improving the overall integrity of the rod assembly. When leveling is required, the second cover can be removed to provide space for the installation and operation of the adjusting component, ensuring the adjustment function is realized.

[0029] A clothes drying rack includes a main unit and a pole assembly according to any of the above embodiments, wherein the pole is a drying rod;

[0030] One end of the pole is connected to the main unit via the leveling mechanism, or both ends of the pole are connected to the main unit via two separate leveling mechanisms; the pull rope in the leveling mechanism is connected to the main unit. This achieves stable installation and level adjustment of the drying pole, improving the user experience.

[0031] Optionally, the host is internally provided with a drive assembly, the pull rope is connected to the drive assembly, and the drive assembly is used to wind and unwind the pull rope to drive the rod body closer to or away from the host.

[0032] The bottom of the main unit is equipped with a storage slot, and the rod has a retracted state. When the rod is in the retracted state, it is embedded in the storage slot. This achieves automatic raising and lowering of the drying rod and concealed storage, improving space utilization and aesthetics.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the leveling mechanism is used, the fixed seat can be hoisted by pulling the rope, and the relative position of the fixed seat and the lifting bolt can be adjusted by operating the adjusting component, thereby adjusting the height of the fixed seat and thus adjusting the levelness of the rod or structural component connected to the fixed seat.

[0034] In the leveling mechanism, the lifting bolts cooperate with the limit head and adjusting parts at different points to avoid contact between the adjusting parts and the pull rope, and between the adjusting parts and the limit head, thereby reducing wear, improving the stability of the connection between the pull rope and the lifting bolts, and enhancing the accuracy of the adjusting operation.

[0035] When this leveling mechanism is applied to the pole assembly, the pull rope is connected to the clothes drying rack main unit or ceiling installation, the suspension bolt and limit head are engaged to connect to the pull rope, the suspension bolt is connected to the fixed seat, and the fixed seat is connected to the pole, allowing the pole to be suspended below the pull rope. When the pole's levelness does not meet the requirements, the operator can operate the adjustment mechanism to adjust the position of the fixed seat relative to the suspension bolt, thus achieving the leveling operation of the pole, which is convenient.

[0036] The clothes drying rack's drying rod is connected to the fixed base of the leveling mechanism, and the pull rope of the leveling mechanism is connected to the main unit, thus connecting the drying rod to the main unit. Furthermore, the levelness of the drying rod can be adjusted by operating the adjustment mechanism to meet both normal use and aesthetic requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0053] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0054] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" 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.

[0055] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly 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 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 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.

[0056] In everyday home appliances, some devices are suspended below the installation surface using pull ropes, achieving a suspended installation. Take clothes drying racks as an example: the main unit is mounted on the ceiling, and the main unit is either a single drying rod or the entire drying rack. The rod or rack is connected to the main unit via at least two pull ropes. The ropes are manually or electrically controlled to raise or lower the entire rack or individual rods, allowing users to operate it at different heights. Similarly, light fixtures can also be suspended from the ceiling using pull ropes; and clothes rails inside wardrobes or garment care cabinets can be suspended from the top of the wardrobe using pull ropes.

[0057] However, these methods of using ropes to suspend and install the main body of the device have limitations: when the main body needs to be suspended and installed to the top installation object using multiple ropes, due to the long length of the main body, the varying lengths of the different ropes, assembly errors, component deformation, and other factors, the main body may tilt excessively, failing to meet usage requirements and potentially affecting its lifespan with long-term use. For example, when a single drying rod or the entire drying rack is tilted at an excessive angle relative to the horizontal plane, clothes hanging on the rod or rack may slide and shift to one side, causing them to stick together and affecting drying efficiency. Alternatively, when controlling the raising of a single drying rod or the entire drying rack for storage, one end of the rod or rack may reach the top structure, while the other end cannot be raised further for storage, failing to achieve proper storage of the rod or rack. This not only affects the aesthetics when stored but also poses a risk of damage due to uneven stress on the rod or rack. Figure 14 In the middle, the two ends of the pole 40 are connected to the top installation object by the pull rope 11. When the tilt angle of the pole 40 is too large, the pole 40 cannot be properly and flatly stored when it is raised and stored.

[0058] To address the problems encountered in related technologies where the main body of a home appliance is hoisted and installed using a pull rope, this application provides a leveling mechanism. The leveling mechanism includes a fixing seat that connects to the main body of the home appliance, enabling the main body to be hoisted and installed onto the object using a pull rope. For example, the fixing seat can connect to a drying rod in a drying rack, or to a support rod in a drying tray. Furthermore, the operator can adjust the levelness of the main body by manipulating an adjusting mechanism to move it relative to the pull rope.

[0059] This application also provides a pole assembly suitable for use in drying racks, motorized curtains, etc. In the pole assembly, the pole is connected to a fixed base, allowing the pole to be suspended from the top fixture via a pull rope in a leveling mechanism. Furthermore, the height and levelness of the pole can be adjusted using an adjusting element.

[0060] This application also provides a clothes drying rack, which includes a main unit and the aforementioned pole assembly.

[0061] Please refer to the following. Figures 1 to 13 This application provides a detailed description of the leveling mechanism, pole assembly, and clothes drying rack.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 4 The leveling mechanism, as illustrated, includes a connecting assembly, a fixed base 20, and an adjusting component 30. The connecting assembly includes a pull rope 11 and a lifting bolt 13. Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the first end of the pull rope 11 is used to connect to the installation object, which can be, but is not limited to, the ceiling, suspended ceiling, the main unit of the clothes drying rack, or the top panel of a cabinet. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the second end of the pull rope 11 is connected to the lifting bolt 13, so that the lifting bolt 13 is hung on the end of the pull rope 11. The fixing seat 20 is movably connected to the lifting bolt 13, and an adjusting member 30 is provided between the fixing seat 20 and the lifting bolt 13.

[0063] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 7 The second end of the pull rope 11 is connected to a limiting head 12, which protrudes from the outer circumference of the pull rope 11. The pull rope 11 can be, but is not limited to, a steel cable, and the limiting head 12 can be made of metal or other materials, as long as the strength requirements are met. The lifting bolt 13 adopts a double-hole design, with a limiting hole 131 and an adjustment hole 132. The lifting bolt 13 is connected to the pull rope 11, wherein the limiting head 12 of the pull rope 11 is engaged in the limiting hole 131, and the limiting head 12 is restricted from exiting the lifting bolt 13 through the top opening of the limiting hole 131. The pull rope 11 extends out of the lifting bolt 13 through the top opening of the lifting bolt 13, thus enabling the lifting bolt 13 to be attached to the limiting head 12 at the end of the pull rope 11. The fixing seat 20 is movably connected to the lifting bolt 13, and the fixing seat 20 is connected to the pull rope 11 through the lifting bolt 13. The adjusting component 30 includes an adjusting rod portion 31 and an operating portion 32. The adjusting rod portion 31 passes through the fixed base 20, extends into the adjusting hole 132, and is threadedly connected to the adjusting hole 132. The operating portion 32 is located outside the fixed base 20 and the lifting bolt 13, allowing the operator to rotate or perform other operations on the operating portion 32 by hand or with tools. The adjusting component 30 can rotate under the action of adjusting force, so that the adjusting component 30 moves axially along the adjusting hole 132, thereby driving the fixed base 20 to move relative to the connecting assembly.

[0064] Under normal conditions, the relative positions between the fixing seat 20 and the hanging bolt 13 are fixed. At this time, the weight acting on the fixing seat 20 is transmitted to the pull rope 11 through the adjusting member 30 and the hanging bolt 13. For example, when the fixing seat 20 is connected to the drying rod, the weight of the drying rod and the clothes on the drying rod is transmitted to the hanging bolt 13 through the fixing seat 20 and the adjusting member 30, and then transmitted to the pull rope 11 by the hanging bolt 13, so as to realize the support of the drying rod and the clothes. Since the lifting bolt 13 is directly connected to the pull rope 11, the lifting bolt 13 will not rise or fall relative to the pull rope 11. When the operator applies an adjusting force to the adjusting component 30 and rotates it, the threaded connection between the adjusting component 30 and the lifting bolt 13 will cause the adjusting component 30 to move axially along the adjusting hole 132. This will cause the fixing seat 20 to move relative to the connecting assembly (i.e., relative to the whole formed by the pull rope 11 and the lifting bolt 13) through the adjusting component 30. This will adjust the position of the fixing seat 20, thereby adjusting the distance between the fixing seat 20 and the installed object, and finally adjusting the height of the local position of the device body connected to the fixing seat 20, so as to adjust the levelness of the device body.

[0065] The rod assembly of this application includes a rod 40 and the aforementioned leveling mechanism. The rod 40 is suspended below the installation object by at least two pull ropes 11. In one embodiment, a leveling mechanism is installed at each end of the rod 40, and the two pull ropes 11 of the two leveling mechanisms are respectively connected to the installation object. In this way, not only can the rod 40 be suspended at both ends, but the height of the rod 40 at both ends can also be adjusted separately, flexibly adjusting the level of the rod 40 with high adjustment efficiency. In another embodiment, a leveling mechanism is installed at one end of the rod 40, and the pull rope 11 of the leveling mechanism is connected to the installation object. The other end of the rod 40 does not have a leveling mechanism but is directly connected to a separate pull rope 11, which is also connected to the installation object. In this way, the rod 40 can also be suspended at both ends, and the level of the rod 40 can be adjusted by the height of only one side of the rod 40.

[0066] It is understood that the rod 40 in the rod assembly can be a drying rod or a regular rod 40 that serves as a connecting and supporting element in a drying rack within a drying device. By operating the adjusting component 30, the levelness of the drying rod can be flexibly adjusted to avoid situations such as clothes shifting due to the rod being tilted, uneven force on the drying rod, or one end not reaching the top when the drying rod is raised to its highest position for storage, while the other end cannot reach the top.

[0067] The clothes drying rack of this application includes a main unit and the aforementioned pole assembly. The main unit is installed on the ceiling or suspended ceiling. There are two ways to connect and adjust the pole 40 to the main unit: First, both ends of the pole 40 are connected to the main unit through two leveling mechanisms. The operator can adjust the height of either end of the pole 40 by operating the adjusting piece 30 to make the two ends of the pole 40 basically level, thereby achieving overall horizontal adjustment of the pole 40. Second, the first end of the pole 40 is connected to the main unit through a leveling mechanism, and the second end is directly connected to the main unit through a common pull rope 11. In this case, the operator can adjust the pole 40 to a horizontal state by operating the adjusting piece 30 at the first end of the pole 40.

[0068] The leveling mechanism, pole assembly, and clothes drying rack of this application have the following advantages:

[0069] First, the adjusting component 30 is easy to operate, facilitating the adjustment of the height of the fixed base 20 to achieve the levelness of the rod 40 connected to the fixed base 20. In the clothes drying rack, if the levelness of the rod 40 does not meet the requirements, there is no need to reconnect the pull rope 11 to the drying rod. By operating the adjusting component 30, the height of both ends of the rod 40 can be made as consistent as possible, achieving quick leveling of the rod 40. This ensures an aesthetically pleasing appearance when the clothes drying rack is in use or not, and also ensures that the rod 40 is subjected to even force, reducing malfunctions.

[0070] Secondly, the adjustment hole 132 and the limiting hole 131 provided on the lifting bolt 13 provide two independent cavities to accommodate the adjusting component 30 and the limiting head 12 at the end of the pull rope 11, respectively. During the assembly process, the assembly of the limiting head 12 with the lifting bolt 13 and the assembly of the adjusting component 30 with the lifting bolt 13 do not interfere with each other and there is no prescribed order. The assembly flexibility is improved and the assembly efficiency is increased.

[0071] Third, the limiting head 12 at the end of the pull rope 11 is located inside the limiting hole 131 of the lifting bolt 13. The limiting hole 131 better wraps the limiting head 12, increasing the contact area between the lifting bolt 13 and the limiting head 12, thereby strengthening the stability of the connection between the pull rope 11 and the lifting bolt 13.

[0072] Fourth, during use, because the adjusting hole 132 and the limiting hole 131 are separate, there is no direct contact between the pull rope 11 and the adjusting component 30, nor between the limiting head 12 of the pull rope 11 and the adjusting component 30. The pull rope 11 mainly bears the weight of the main body of the device, while the adjusting component 30 is used to adjust the position of the fixed base 20. The two have different functions and are independent of each other. This avoids wear caused by mutual contact and interference between them, extends the service life of each component, and improves the reliability of the entire leveling mechanism.

[0073] Fifth, when the adjusting component 30 is operated to adjust the height of the fixed base 20 and the level of the rod 40, since the adjusting hole 132 and the limiting hole 131 are separated, the movement of the adjusting component 30 will not be interfered with by the pull rope 11 or the limiting head 12. The operator can rotate the adjusting component 30 more smoothly and accurately, and can adjust the level of the main body of the device more precisely.

[0074] Sixth, by providing an adjusting hole 132 with a certain axial length and a threaded inner wall in the lifting bolt 13, the adjusting member 30 passes through the fixed seat 20 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The threaded connection between the adjusting member 30 and the lifting bolt 13 has a longer contact length, increasing the stability of the connection. It also facilitates configuring the adjusting member 30 so that the operating part 32 extends from the bottom of the lifting bolt 13 as needed, thus allowing the operator to operate the adjusting member 30 directly from below the rod assembly from bottom to top.

[0075] In one embodiment, the pole assembly is used in a clothes drying rack. The pole 40 is configured to be retracted into a storage slot 90 when not in use. The storage slot 90 is located at the bottom of the main unit. When clothes are not needed and the pole 40 is idle, the pull rope 11 connected to the pole 40 is wound up by electrically controlling the rotation of the winding wheel through the drive component inside the main unit, or by manually operating the winding wheel. This controls the pole 40 to rise, allowing it to enter the storage slot 90 from below the main unit. At this time, the pole 40 is in a retracted state, housed within the storage slot 90 of the main unit or ceiling. From the outside, the bottom of the pole 40 is embedded inside the main unit, for example, the bottom of the pole 40 is flush with the bottom of the main unit. The clothes drying rack has a simple appearance, a good overall feel, and improves its integration with the home environment.

[0076] Optionally, when the rod 40 is in the retracted state, the bottom surface of the rod 40 is exposed through the storage groove 90, and the operating part 32 of the adjusting member 30 is located at the bottom of the fixed base 20. The operator can operate the adjusting member 30 from bottom to top to adjust the level of the rod 40.

[0077] Reference Figure 13 The rod 40 has a retracted state. When the rod 40 is in the retracted state, it is housed in the storage groove 90 at the bottom of the main unit or in the storage groove 90 at the bottom of the ceiling, and the bottom surface of the rod 40 is exposed from the storage groove 90. The adjusting member 30 has an operating end, which is exposed from the bottom of the fixed base 20. Figure 12 In the middle position, the pole 40 is in the lowered position. When the user needs to hang clothes to dry, the pull rope 11 is electrically or manually controlled to unwind the pole 40. Figure 13 Status adjusted to Figure 12 state.

[0078] It is understandable that after the clothes drying rack is installed, due to installation errors, component errors, etc., the two ends of the rod 40 may be uneven. When controlling the rod 40 to rise and retract, the higher end of the rod 40 may enter the storage slot 90 first and abut against the main unit, preventing the lower end of the rod 40 from being smoothly retracted into the storage slot 90. To solve this problem, in this embodiment, the operator or user can operate the adjusting component 30 to raise the lower end of the rod 40 or lower the higher end of the rod 40, so that the two ends of the rod 40 are basically the same height, allowing the rod 40 to be smoothly and stably retracted into the main unit's storage slot 90.

[0079] Optionally, the clothes drying rack does not include a scissor rack; instead, the pole 40 is connected to the main unit only via two pull ropes 11. The main unit is embedded in the mounting groove, resulting in a simple and integrated appearance. When the pole 40 is not in use, the pull ropes 11 are wound up to store the pole 40 into the main unit's storage slot 90. Because the main unit is embedded in the ceiling mounting groove, the entire clothes drying rack is concealed, with the bottom of the rack roughly flush with the ceiling surface. A convenient leveling mechanism allows for easy adjustment of the pole 40, ensuring excellent concealment when the pole 40 is stored.

[0080] Of course, in other embodiments, the clothes drying rack may also include a drying rack, with each of the two brackets of the drying rack connected to the main unit through a set of leveling mechanisms, and each of the two brackets connected to the main unit through a set of scissor brackets.

[0081] In one embodiment, a drive assembly within the main unit is connected to the pull rope 11. The drive assembly is used to move the rod 40 closer to or further away from the main unit by winding or unwinding the pull rope 11. For example, the drive assembly includes a winding wheel and a motor. The motor drives the winding wheel to rotate forward or backward, thereby unwinding or winding the pull rope 11, correspondingly controlling the rod 40 to descend or ascend.

[0082] Optionally, the clothes drying rack is a ceiling-mounted clothes drying rack, and the pole 40 is a drying rod. The pole assembly includes a wave-shaped rod 70, which has two rows of slots. The protruding ribs on both sides of the wave-shaped rod 70 are respectively engaged in the slots on both sides, so that the wave-shaped rod 70 and the pole 40 are assembled together. The top of the wave-shaped rod 70 is provided with multiple hanging slots spaced apart along the length of the drying rod. The top of the wave-shaped rod 70 extends out of the drying rod to expose the hanging slots. When the clothes hangers are hung on the drying rod, each clothes hanger corresponds to a hanging slot, preventing the clothes hangers from moving around on the drying rod, ensuring the spacing between adjacent clothes hangers, and achieving good ventilation.

[0083] In one embodiment, in order to improve the assembly efficiency of the leveling mechanism, the structure of the lifting bolt 13 is optimized so that when assembling the pull rope 11 and the lifting bolt 13, the pull rope 11 is simply inserted into the limiting hole 131 from the side of the lifting bolt 13, and then the pull rope 11 is pulled to make the limiting head 12 snap into the limiting hole 131, thus completing the assembly of the pull rope 11 and the lifting bolt 13.

[0084] Reference Figures 5 to 9 The lifting bolt 13 adopts a block structure and is also provided with a rope passage hole 133. The rope passage hole 133 is located on one side of the adjustment hole 132 in the radial direction and communicates with the adjustment hole 132. One side of the lifting bolt 13 has a rope threading opening 1301 communicating with the rope passage hole 133. Both the limiting hole 131 and the rope passage hole 133 pass through the lifting bolt 13. The rope threading opening 1301 and the rope passage hole 133 are used to allow the pull rope 11 to enter the limiting hole 131. The two ends of the limiting hole 131 have a first opening 1302 and a second opening 1303. The first opening 1302 allows the limiting head 12 to be inserted or passed through, and the pull rope 11 extends out of the limiting hole 131 through the second opening 1303. The lifting bolt 13 and the limiting head 12 are matched to limit the limiting head 12 from disengaging from the limiting hole 131 through the second opening 1303.

[0085] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 The diagram shows the structure of the lifting bolt 13, and combines it with... Figure 9 Assembly process instructions for the pull rope 11 and the lifting bolt 13: When assembling the pull rope 11 and the lifting bolt 13 with the limit head 12 at the end, as follows: Figure 9 The S1 step diagram illustrates that the pull rope 11 is first passed from the side of the lifting bolt 13 through the rope threading opening 1301 and into the rope passage hole 133, as shown. Figure 9 As shown in step S2, continue pulling the pull rope 11 laterally until it enters the limiting hole 131 from the rope hole 133. Then, as shown in the diagram... Figure 9 As illustrated in step S3, pulling the rope 11 upwards causes the limiting head 12 to enter the limiting hole 131 from the first opening 1302 at the bottom of the bolster 13. Because the size and shape of the second opening 1303 and the rope passage hole 133 are designed to prevent the limiting head 12 from passing through, it is confined within the limiting hole 131, thus securing the limiting head 12 within it. This allows the bolster 13 to be hooked onto the limiting head 12 at the bottom of the rope 11. At this point, even if the rope 11 is pulled along its length, the limiting head 12 will not disengage from the bolster 13 through the second opening 1303, maintaining the connection between the bolster 13 and the rope 11.

[0086] Understandably, when designing the assembly scheme for the lifting bolt 13 and the pull rope 11, the inventor considered first aligning the first end of the pull rope 11 (i.e., the end facing away from the limiting head 12) with the end opening of the limiting hole 131 of the lifting bolt 13, and then moving the lifting bolt 13 from the first end of the pull rope 11 to the end of the pull rope 11 until the limiting head 12 engages with the limiting hole 131 of the lifting bolt 13, thus completing the assembly of the pull rope 11 and the lifting bolt 13. However, this assembly operation is relatively cumbersome, especially when the pull rope 11 is long, the threading operation between the lifting bolt 13 and the pull rope 11 is even more time-consuming. In addition, if the lifting bolt 13 needs to be inspected or replaced after the pull rope 11 is installed on the installation object, the operation is also relatively troublesome. In this embodiment, when assembling the pull rope 11 and the lifting bolt 13, the pull rope 11 can be directly inserted into the limiting hole 131 from the side of the lifting bolt 13. When the pull rope 11 is installed to the lifting bolt 13 from the side, the limiting head 12 can approach the lifting bolt 13. At this time, after the pull rope 11 enters the limiting hole 131, gently pulling the pull rope 11 or gently pushing the lifting bolt 13 will allow the limiting head 12 to be engaged in the limiting hole 131 through the rope hole 133, thus assembling the lifting bolt 13 and the pull rope 11. The assembly operation is convenient and quick. Furthermore, when a new lifting bolt 13 needs to be replaced, simply push the lifting bolt 13 gently to allow the limiting head 12 to disengage from the first hole 1302. Then, pull the pull rope 11 or the lifting bolt 13 laterally to allow the pull rope 11 to disengage from the rope through hole 1301 on the side of the lifting bolt 13. This process does not require operation on the end of the pull rope 11 connected to the installation object, making the operation convenient and quick.

[0087] Optionally, the second opening 1303 restricts the limiting head 12 from passing through so that the limiting head 12 is held in place within the limiting hole 131. For example, a limiting protrusion 1304 is provided on the side of the limiting hole 131 near the second opening 1303, and the limiting protrusion 1304 abuts against the end face of the limiting head 12 to prevent the limiting head 12 from dislodging from the second opening 1303.

[0088] In other embodiments, the shape or size of the second opening 1303 may not be limited. After the limiting head 12 is inserted into the limiting hole 131, a fixing pin is installed so that the fixing pin passes through both the lifting bolt 13 and the limiting head 12 to keep the limiting head 12 in the limiting hole 131, thereby realizing the connection between the pull rope 11 and the lifting bolt 13. The tension of the pull rope 11 can be transmitted to the lifting bolt 13, and then to the fixing seat 20.

[0089] Optionally, the rope passage hole 133 is located on the side of the limiting hole 131 opposite to the adjusting hole 132. For example, the limiting hole 131 is located to the right of the adjusting hole 132, and the rope passage hole 133 is located to the right of the limiting hole 131. In the actual application of the leveling mechanism, the tension of the pull rope 11 is applied to the lifting bolt 13 through the limiting head 12. By setting the rope passage hole 133 on the side of the limiting hole 131 opposite to the adjusting hole 132, the stress at the rope passage hole 133 can be prevented from affecting the adjusting hole 132, thereby ensuring a reliable and stable connection between the adjusting component 30 and the bolt.

[0090] In other embodiments, when the limiting hole 131 is located to the right of the adjusting hole 132, the rope passage hole 133 can also be set in front of or behind the limiting hole 131.

[0091] Optionally, the rope-threading opening 1301 is located on the side of the rope-passing hole 133 opposite to the adjustment hole 132. For example, the rope-passing hole 133 is located to the right of the limiting hole 131, and the rope-threading opening 1301 is located to the right of the rope-passing hole 133. This allows the pull rope 11 to directly enter the limiting hole 131 to the left through the rope-threading opening 1301 and the rope-passing hole 133, resulting in high assembly efficiency.

[0092] In other embodiments, when the rope hole 133 is located to the right of the limiting hole 131, the rope threading opening 1301 can also be located in front of or behind the rope hole 133.

[0093] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 7 In the lifting bolt 13, the limiting hole 131 is located on one side of the adjusting hole 132 in the radial direction, and the limiting hole 131 is parallel or approximately parallel to the adjusting hole 132. For example, both the limiting hole 131 and the adjusting hole 132 in the lifting bolt 13 are vertically arranged.

[0094] In practical applications, the pull rope 11 can extend from the top of the sling 13. Since both the limiting hole 131 and the adjusting hole 132 are vertically oriented, the operating part 32 of the adjusting component 30 can extend from the bottom or top of the sling 13. When the height of the fixed seat 20 needs to be adjusted, the operator can naturally choose to rotate the adjusting component 30 from below or above, depending on the actual situation. For example, when the sling 13 is installed at a high position, the operator can easily rotate the adjusting component 30 from below while standing on the ground, making the operation of the adjusting component 30 less strenuous. In addition, rotating the adjusting component 30 causes it to move up and down relative to the connecting assembly, thereby moving the fixed seat 20 and the rod 40. This adjustment method is consistent with daily perceptions and habits of height adjustment, allowing the operator to more intuitively judge the direction and range of adjustment.

[0095] In other embodiments, the limiting hole 131 is vertically arranged, and the adjusting hole 132 is horizontally arranged.

[0096] In one embodiment, the adjusting member 30 is an adjusting bolt. The pull rope 11 and the adjusting bolt extend from opposite sides of the lifting bolt 13. Exemplarily, the pull rope 11 extends from the top of the lifting bolt 13, the adjusting rod portion 31 of the adjusting member 30 passes through the bottom of the fixing seat 20 and extends into the adjusting hole 132 from the bottom of the adjusting hole 132 for threaded connection, and the operating portion 32 of the adjusting member 30 extends from the bottom of the lifting bolt 13.

[0097] For example, the adjustment mechanism is applied to a clothes drying rack. The bottom of the main unit is provided with a storage slot 90. When the rope 11 is wound up to put the rod 40 into the storage slot 90, if one end of the rod 40 has entered the storage slot 90 and is abutting against the main unit, but the other end of the rod 40 cannot enter the storage slot 90, the operator can apply force directly to the operating part 32 of the adjustment member 30 exposed below the hanging bolt 13 from below the lower end of the rod 40, so that the adjustment member 30 rotates and pushes the fixing seat 20 at that point upward, thereby allowing the end of the rod 40 to rise and be put into the storage slot 90, so that the rod 40 is completely put into the storage slot 90 when it is in the storage state.

[0098] Of course, in other embodiments, the operating part 32 of the adjusting member 30 may also extend from the left, right or top of the lifting bolt 13.

[0099] In one embodiment, a leveling mechanism is provided at both ends of the rod 40, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The fixing seat 20 is a plug located at the end of the rod 40. The rod 40 has a profile structure and an internal cavity 401. Both ends of the rod 40 have end openings communicating with the internal cavity 401. Plugs are installed at both ends of the rod 40 to seal the end openings and prevent dust from entering the rod 40. The plugs are assembled with the rod 40 by means of insertion or other methods, ensuring that the plugs remain connected to the rod 40 under normal conditions.

[0100] When the clothes drying rack is assembled and in normal use, the rod 40 effectively supports the fixed seat 20, ensuring that the fixed seat 20 and the rod 40 are relatively fixed in the vertical direction. Thus, when the height of the fixed seat 20 is adjusted using the adjusting component 30, the height of a local position of the rod 40 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the levelness of the rod 40. Using a plug as the fixed seat 20 has two advantages: firstly, the connection point between the pull rope 11 and the rod 40 is close to the end of the rod 40, making the leveling operation of the rod 40 more efficient when operating the adjusting component 30; secondly, the plug can be reused, reducing the need for an additional fixed seat 20 and lowering material costs.

[0101] In other embodiments, plugs are provided at both ends of the rod 40, and the fixing seat 20 is a suspension seat fixed to the top of the rod 40.

[0102] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 The rod body 40 has an inner cavity 401 inside, and the fixing seat 20 includes an insertion part 21, which is provided with an assembly groove 211, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The insertion part 21 is inserted into the inner cavity 401 of the rod. The fixing seat 20 can be the plug in the above embodiment, that is, the insertion part 21 of the fixing seat 20 is inserted into the inner cavity 401 of the rod from the end of the rod body 40; in other embodiments, the fixing seat 20 can also be inserted into the inside of the rod body 40 from the front or rear side of the rod body 40.

[0103] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The hanging bolt 13 is installed in the assembly groove 211. The rod 40 has a first clearance opening 411. The pull rope 11 extends out of the assembly groove 211 and through the first clearance opening 411 to the outside of the rod 40. In the clothes drying machine, the pull rope 11 extending to the outside of the rod 40 is connected to the main unit. Under normal conditions, the hanging bolt 13 and the fixed seat 20 are locked together by the adjusting member 30, and the hanging bolt 13 and the fixed seat 20 remain connected and relatively fixed. When the two ends of the rod 40 are at different heights, the adjusting member 30 is operated to drive the fixed seat 20 to move relative to the hanging bolt 13, thereby adjusting the level of the rod 40. Since the hanging bolt 13 can be installed in the assembly groove 211, the groove wall of the assembly groove 211 acts as a guide during the operation of the adjusting member 30, so that the adjusting member 30 drives the fixed seat 20 and the rod 40 to move stably and accurately relative to the hanging bolt 13, thereby adjusting the level of the rod 40.

[0104] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 The rod body 40 includes a first plate portion 41. The insertion portion 21 of the fixing seat 20 has an assembly opening on the side near the first plate portion 41, and the assembly opening communicates with the assembly groove 211. A first clearance opening 411 is provided at a position on the first plate portion 41 corresponding to the assembly opening. The first clearance opening 411 and the assembly opening are used to allow the lifting bolt 13 to pass through so that the lifting bolt 13 can be inserted into the assembly groove 211.

[0105] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The rod assembly includes a first cover 50 that covers a first clearance opening 411. The first cover 50 is connected to the rod 40 or to the fixing base 20. The first cover 50 has a through hole through which the pull rope 11 passes to extend to the outside of the rod 40.

[0106] During assembly, the pull rope 11 is first assembled with the lifting bolt 13 via the limiting head 12, and the fixing seat 20 is inserted into the rod body 40. Next, the lifting bolt 13 is passed through the first clearance opening 411 and the assembly opening, allowing it to be inserted into the assembly slot 211 inside the fixing seat 20. Then, the first cover 50 is installed to cover the assembly opening or the first clearance opening 411. The adjusting member 30 is then passed through the fixing seat 20 and connected to the lifting bolt 13. With the adjusting member 30 connected to the lifting bolt 13, the adjusting member 30 prevents the lifting bolt 13 from dislodging from the rod body 40 through the first clearance opening 411. The first cover 50 serves a decorative purpose, enhancing the overall appearance of the rod assembly and preventing dust from entering the interior of the rod body 40 through the first clearance opening 411.

[0107] The inventor discovered during the design of the clothes drying rack that the current disassembly process for the pole 40 is complex and inconvenient for after-sales maintenance. For example, when the pole assembly is used in a ceiling-mounted clothes drying rack, the pole 40 has a retracted state, where it is embedded in the storage groove 90 at the bottom of the main unit. When maintenance of the pole 40 or the main unit is required, the clothes drying rack must first be powered off. However, in conventional designs, powering off the clothes drying rack requires first controlling the pull cord 11 to retract the pole 40 to the retracted state before powering off. However, once the pole 40 is retracted into the storage groove 90, disassembly of the pole 40 remains a challenge.

[0108] In the case where the rod 40 is connected to the main unit via the pull rope 11, in order to solve the problem of cumbersome disassembly and maintenance of the rod 40, in one embodiment, the rod assembly is configured as follows:

[0109] like Figure 3 The first cover 50 is connected to the rod 40 via elastic clips 51, or to the fixing base 20 via elastic clips 51. For example, two sets of elastic clips 51 are provided on both sides of the first cover 50. When the first cover 50 is installed, it is fastened to the rod 40 from top to bottom. During the fastening process, the elastic clips 51 deform. After the fastening is in place, the first cover 50 is relatively fixed to the rod 40 by the elastic clips 51, thus realizing the installation of the first cover 50.

[0110] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 In the normal state, the adjusting member 30 passes through the fixed seat 20 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting hole 132 of the lifting bolt 13. The adjusting member 30 pulls the lifting bolt 13, thereby restricting the lifting bolt 13 from moving towards the first cover 50. At this time, the first cover 50 can be held in place by the elastic buckle 51. When it is necessary to disassemble the rod 40 for inspection, replacement, or maintenance, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the operator only needs to rotate the adjusting component 30 to separate it from the lifting bolt 13, and then proceed as follows: Figure 11This illustrates pulling the rod 40 away from the main unit, for example, pulling the rod 40 downwards. At this time, the fixed seat 20 and the rod 40 move together relative to the lifting bolt 13, as shown. Figure 11 As shown, the lifting bolt 13 abuts against the first cover 50, and the elastic buckle 51 undergoes elastic deformation. Thus, the first cover 50 disengages from the fixing seat 20 and the rod 40 under the pressure of the lifting bolt 13, without obstructing the lifting bolt 13. The lifting bolt 13 disengages from the fixing seat 20 through the assembly port and from the rod 40 through the first clearance port 411, achieving separation of the fixing seat 20 and the rod 40 from the lifting bolt 13, and thus disassembling the rod 40. During the disassembly of the rod 40, it is only necessary to first remove the adjusting component 30 from the lifting bolt 13, and then pull the rod 40 to remove it from the lifting bolt 13. This process does not require the special disassembly of the first cover 50, making the entire rod 40 disassembly process convenient and quick.

[0111] In this embodiment, when the rod 40 is stored in the storage slot 90 at the bottom of the main unit, with only the bottom surface of the rod 40 protruding from the bottom opening of the storage slot 90 (e.g.) Figure 13 (Illustrative image) Since the operating part 32 of the adjusting component 30 protrudes from the bottom of the fixed seat 20, and the first cover 50 is elastically engaged with the rod 40 or the fixed seat 20 through the elastic buckle 51, the operator can directly rotate the adjusting component 30 from the bottom of the main unit to remove it. Then, gently pull the rod 40 down to detach the rod 40 and the fixed seat 20 together from the hanging bolt 13. This takes into account the advantages of convenient disassembly and maintenance of the rod 40 and the simple appearance of the clothes drying rack when the rod 40 is stored.

[0112] Of course, in other embodiments, the first cover 50 can also be configured to be bolted to the rod 40, and when disassembling the rod 40, the rod 40 can be lowered first, for example, to [the desired height]. Figure 12 In the indicated state, the adjusting component 30 is then operated to disengage it from the lifting bolt 13. Then, the bolts used to fix the first cover 50 are removed, and the rod 40 is separated from the lifting bolt 13, thereby completing the disassembly of the rod 40.

[0113] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 2 to 6In order to enable the smooth installation and flexible operation of the adjusting component 30, thereby adjusting the level of the rod 40, the following method is used to achieve the cooperation between the adjusting component 30, the rod 40, the fixing seat 20, and the hanging bolt 13: the bottom of the rod 40 has a base plate 42, the insert part 21 is located on the upper side of the base plate 42, and the base plate 42 supports the insert part 21. The insertion part 21 is provided with a through hole 212 communicating with the insertion slot on the side near the base plate 42. The base plate 42 is provided with a second clearance opening 421 corresponding to the position of the through hole 212. The adjusting part 30 includes an adjusting rod part 31 and an operating part 32. The adjusting rod part 31 passes through the second clearance opening 421 and the through hole 212 and extends into the adjusting hole 132 to be threadedly connected to the adjusting hole 132. The operating part 32 is located outside the fixed seat 20. The second clearance opening 421 provides space for the installation and operation of the adjusting part 30. When the user needs to operate the adjusting part 30, with the operating part 32 exposed from the second clearance opening 421, the user can use a screwdriver to drive the operating part 32 to rotate, or pinch the operating part 32 with his hand to make it rotate, thereby driving the adjusting rod part 31 to move along the thread axis of the adjusting hole 132 of the bolt 13, so that the fixed seat 20 moves relative to the bolt 13 through the adjusting part 30, thereby adjusting the level of the rod 40.

[0114] Optionally, continue to refer to Figures 2 to 6 With the insertion part 21 of the fixed base 20 having a through hole 212 and the rod body 40 having a second clearance opening 421, the operating part 32 of the adjusting member 30 is exposed through the second clearance opening 421 on the lower side of the rod body 40. This facilitates the operator to rotate the adjusting member 30 from the bottom, making it easier to adjust the levelness of the rod body 40. Combined with... Figures 2 to 3 The rod assembly also includes a second cover 60, which serves as a decorative cover. The second cover 60 covers the second clearance opening 421 and also obscures the operating end of the adjusting member 30. The second cover 60 is detachably connected to the rod 40 or to the fixing base 20. When the rod assembly is in its normal use state, the second cover 60 obscures the operating end of the adjusting member 30. This prevents the user from seeing the adjusting member 30 from the bottom of the rod assembly, avoiding the abruptness of exposed adjusting member 30 and improving the overall aesthetics. The second cover 60 also covers or seals the second clearance opening 421 to prevent dust and other debris from entering the interior of the rod 40, and also protects the adjusting member 30.

[0115] When the rod 40 needs to be leveled, the operator first removes the second cover 60 to expose the operating part 32 of the adjusting component 30, allowing the adjusting component 30 to be rotated. After the rod 40 is leveled, the second cover 60 is then reinstalled in its original position, making the operation convenient and quick.

[0116] by Figures 1 to 13Taking the illustrated pole assembly as an example, the pole 40 in the pole assembly is a drying pole, and the fixing seat 20 is a plug. The assembly steps of the pole assembly are as follows: First, assemble the fixing seat 20 and the pole 40 together. The assembly groove 211 in the fixing seat 20 is an elliptical recess, and the assembly groove 211 is directly opposite the first clearance opening 411 on the top surface of the pole 40. The first clearance opening 411 is an elliptical hole. The bottom of the assembly groove 211 of the fixing seat 20 is provided with a through hole 212. After the fixing seat 20 and the pole 40 are assembled, the through hole 212 of the fixing seat 20 is directly opposite the second clearance opening 421 on the bottom surface of the pole 40. Pass the pull rope 11 through the round hole on the first cover 50, and then the limiting head 12 at the bottom of the pull rope 11 is engaged in the limiting hole 131 of the hanging bolt 13. The hanging bolt 13 with the pull rope 11 is then inserted into the assembly groove 211 of the fixing seat 20 through the first clearance opening 411 on the top of the pole 40. The adjusting member 30 passes through the second clearance opening 421 at the bottom of the rod 40 and the through hole 212 of the fixing seat 20 from bottom to top, so as to engage with the adjusting hole 132 on the lifting bolt 13. Then, the second cover 60 is assembled on the bottom of the rod 40, blocking the second clearance opening 421 at the bottom of the rod 40. The first cover 50 is provided with two rows of elastic ribs, so that the first cover 50 can be inserted vertically from top to bottom into the slot at the top of the rod 40. The first cover 50 is located next to the wave rod 70.

[0117] by Figures 1 to 13 Taking the illustrated rod assembly applied to a clothes drying rack as an example, when the lengths of the pull ropes 11 at both ends of the rod 40 are different, causing the rod 40 to be uneven when stored, the rod 40 can be leveled by rotating the adjusting component 30. The specific principle is as follows: when the adjusting component 30 is rotated, the thread in the adjusting hole 132 of the hanging bolt 13 engages with the thread of the adjusting component 30, and the hanging bolt 13 is assembled with the pull rope 11 as one unit, and the fixing seat 20 is assembled with the rod 40 as one unit. The hanging bolt 13 and the fixing seat 20 can move relative to each other, which allows the rod 40 to move up and down relative to the pull rope 11 seat, thereby achieving the purpose of leveling the rod 40.

[0118] by Figures 1 to 13 Taking the illustrated rod assembly applied to a clothes drying rack as an example, when the rod 40 is stored in the storage slot 90 at the bottom of the main body and maintenance is required, the maintenance personnel will use their hands or tools to hook the edge of the second cover 60 from bottom to top and remove the second cover 60, thus exposing the operating part 32 at the bottom of the adjusting part 30. The maintenance personnel will then use a screwdriver or their hands to rotate the adjusting part 30 downwards, and the lifting bolt 13 will disengage from the assembly slot 211 of the fixing seat 20. The lifting bolt 13 will then push the first cover 50 upwards, at which point the connecting assembly will be disengaged from the rod 40, and the entire rod 40 can be disassembled.

[0119] This application, through the assembly of the adjusting component 30 and the lifting bolt 13, allows for adjustment of the rod 40 to prevent unevenness after it is retracted, by rotating the adjusting component 30. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. This application also enables the rod 40 to be inspected by removing the second cover 60 and the adjusting component 30. Furthermore, when the second cover 60 is installed, the operating part 32 of the adjusting component 30 is prevented from being exposed, resulting in a uniform and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the rod assembly.
