Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a clothes drying rack that can be fixed to the air conditioner vent, belonging to the field of clothes drying rack technology. Background Technology
[0002] People hang their clothes to dry because washed clothes are wet and need to be dried before wearing them. Sunlight and flowing air can gently evaporate the moisture, and the sun's ultraviolet rays can also sterilize the clothes, leaving them with a natural warmth and a fresh scent. This simple method is both economical and environmentally friendly.
[0003] When drying clothes, clothes hangers and clotheslines are needed. To meet the load-bearing requirements of home balconies, existing clotheslines generally use metal rods of fixed length or large size. These are not only heavy but also cannot be folded or retracted, so they can only be left at home when traveling. Hotel rooms usually only have narrow air conditioning vents and simple wardrobes, with no dedicated space for drying clothes and no permission to drill holes in the walls to install traditional clotheslines. This forces travelers to hang wet clothes on the back of chairs or air conditioning vents, which makes the clothes slip off easily, dry slowly, and leave wrinkles. When traveling for several consecutive business trips, travelers often face the problem of not being able to change their underwear in time. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a clothes drying rack that can be fixed to an air conditioner vent, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] A clothes drying rack that can be fixed to an air conditioner vent, characterized in that it comprises:
[0006] The telescopic rod is composed of at least two coaxially sleeved hollow tube sections, which can slide relative to each other and be locked by a positioning structure, so that the overall axial length of the telescopic rod is continuously adjustable within a preset range.
[0007] The first hook is fixedly installed at the first end of the telescopic rod and is used to hook onto one side edge of the air conditioner outlet.
[0008] The second hook is fixedly installed at the second end of the telescopic rod opposite to the first end, and is used to hang the clothes hanger.
[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic rod is composed of a first rod body, a second rod body, and a third rod body that are coaxially sleeved together in sequence. A positioning structure is provided between the first rod body and the second rod body, as well as between the second rod body and the third rod body, for locking the position of the corresponding pipe section after stretching or contraction.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the third rod is provided with a pull handle, which is used by the user to drive the first rod to slide relative to the second rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the first hook is an anti-slip hook, which is fixedly installed at one end of the first rod body and is used to hook onto one side edge of the air conditioner outlet and prevent slippage.
[0012] Furthermore, the second hook is a clothes hanger hook, which is fixedly installed at the other end of the first rod body and is used to hang the clothes hanger and bear the weight of the clothes.
[0013] Furthermore, the anti-slip hook and the clothes hanger hook are located at opposite ends of the first rod.
[0014] Furthermore, each section of the telescopic rod is made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel, and the outer surface is anodized or sandblasted to increase strength and improve weather resistance.
[0015] Beneficial effects:
[0016] This invention features a telescopic rod designed as a multi-section lockable hollow tube assembly. When extended, it spans the air conditioner vent, and when retracted, its length allows for easy carrying and use by business travelers. Hooks at both ends directly attach to the vents and clothes hangers, eliminating the need for temporary support from walls or chair backs. This avoids leaving marks in the guest room and ensures clothes remain stable and don't slip. The telescopic rod's adjustment range covers the entire height of common air conditioner vents, achieving optimal matching with the airflow distance, shortening drying time and reducing wrinkles. Anti-slip hooks and clothes hanger hooks provide end-to-end positioning, ensuring the force axis always coincides with the telescopic rod, preventing swaying and center of gravity shift, thus improving hanging safety and lifespan. The aluminum alloy or stainless steel surface is anodized or sandblasted, maintaining strength and appearance even after long-term exposure to humid and salt spray environments, meeting the reliable usage requirements of frequent business travel.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a clothes drying rack that can be fixed to an air conditioner vent includes:
[0025] The telescopic rod is composed of at least two coaxially sleeved hollow tube sections, which can slide relative to each other and be locked by a positioning structure, so that the overall axial length of the telescopic rod is continuously adjustable within a preset range.
[0026] The first hook is fixedly installed at the first end of the telescopic rod and is used to hook onto one side edge of the air conditioner outlet.
[0027] The second hook is fixedly installed at the second end of the telescopic rod opposite to the first end, and is used to hang the clothes hanger.
[0028] In this embodiment, the telescopic rod achieves continuous adjustment of its overall length through the coaxial connection of multiple hollow tube sections, thereby adapting to the actual height of the air conditioner vent. The first and second hooks at both ends are respectively hooked to the edge of the vent and the clothes hanger, forming a stable suspension support. The sliding fit between the tube sections ensures smooth extension and retraction. A positioning structure is provided between the tube sections. The positioning structure is an existing technology and provides reliable locking after adjustment to the required length, preventing retraction or displacement due to the weight of the clothes or external forces during use. The first and second hooks are respectively fixed to both ends of the telescopic rod, so that when the first hook is hooked to the edge of the vent, the clothes on the second hook are closer to the vent.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, as a technical optimization of this utility model, the telescopic rod is composed of a first rod body 1, a second rod body 4 and a third rod body 5 coaxially sleeved together in sequence. A positioning structure is provided between the first rod body 1 and the second rod body 4 as well as between the second rod body 4 and the third rod body 5, for locking the position of the corresponding pipe section after stretching or shrinking.
[0030] The outer wall of the third rod 5 is provided with a pull handle 6, which is used by the user to drive the first rod 1 to slide relative to the second rod 4.
[0031] Each section of the telescopic rod is made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel, and the outer surface is anodized or sandblasted to increase strength and improve weather resistance.
[0032] In this embodiment, the three tube sections are sequentially fitted together to form a stable and continuous telescopic rod. When the user holds the extension handle 6 and applies axial thrust or pull, the first rod 1 slides smoothly along the inner wall of the second rod 4, and the second rod 4 then slides synchronously along the inner wall of the third rod 5. The positioning structure between the rods immediately engages and locks at any desired length to prevent retraction. The aluminum alloy or stainless steel material gives the tube section sufficient bending stiffness, and the smooth surface after anodizing or sandblasting not only improves wear resistance but also reduces sliding resistance, making the entire extension process labor-saving, quiet, and durable. Oxidation or salt spray corrosion in different environments is also effectively suppressed, thereby ensuring that the clothes drying rod maintains the preset load-bearing capacity and appearance integrity for a long time.
[0033] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, as a technical optimization of this utility model, the first hook is an anti-slip hook 2, which is fixedly installed at one end of the first rod body 1 and is used to hook onto one side edge of the air conditioner outlet and prevent slippage.
[0034] In this embodiment, the anti-slip hook 2 is rigidly connected to the end of the first rod 1. The inside of the hook opening is anti-slip, which significantly increases the static friction when the hook is hooked into the edge of the air conditioner vent. At the same time, the opening direction of the hook forms an angle with the direction of gravity, which generates a self-locking tendency under the weight of the clothes, preventing the hook from sliding along the louvers or accidentally coming off, and ensuring that the clothes drying rod is always close to the air vent and remains horizontal under continuous load.
[0035] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, as a technical optimization of this utility model, the second hook is a clothes hanger hook 3, which is fixedly installed at the other end of the first rod body 1 and is used to hang the clothes hanger and bear the weight of the clothes.
[0036] In this embodiment, the clothes hanger hook 3 is firmly fixed to the other end of the first rod 1. The hook opening faces upward and is slightly tilted outward, so that the metal hook or plastic hanging ring of the clothes hanger can slide naturally into the inclined surface and settle steadily. The inner side of the hook is provided with a continuous arc-shaped support surface, which fits the cross-section of a common clothes hanger, increases the contact area to distribute the weight of the clothes, and prevents local indentation or slippage. The back of the hook is rigidly integrated with the first rod 1 to ensure that the load-bearing force is directly transmitted to the telescopic rod, avoiding swaying due to the shift of the center of gravity, thereby achieving a stable and reliable hanging effect.
[0037] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, as a technical optimization of this utility model, the anti-slip hook 2 and the clothes hanger hook 3 are respectively located at the two ends of the axial direction of the first rod body 1.
[0038] In this embodiment, the anti-slip hook 2 and the clothes hanger hook 3 are fixed at both ends along the axis of the first rod 1, and the distance between them is equal to the inherent length of the first rod 1. When the telescopic rod is adjusted to any working length, this distance remains unchanged, so that the anti-slip hook 2 is always close to the edge of the air conditioner vent, and the clothes hanger hook 3 is always located on the hanging side, forming a stable force-bearing layout with fixed ends and telescopic middle, avoiding torque deviation and ensuring overall stable hanging.
