Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to a self-locking clothes rack. Background Technology
[0002] A clothes hanger is a common household item, primarily used for hanging and drying clothes to maintain their shape and neatness. It is typically made of metal, plastic, or wood and features a hook and a frame structure to support the garments. Clothes hangers can be simple or complex in design, with some also including clips or additional hooks for securing trousers, skirts, or other accessories.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. (CN201911830U) discloses a clothes hanger, which describes: "A clothes hanger, one end of a first straight rod is hinged to a hook, the lower end of the first straight rod is connected to a spring, the end of the spring is connected to a shelf, a sleeve is provided on the spring, the spring is located inside the sleeve, and the end of the spring is connected to a second straight rod. This utility model of a clothes hanger utilizes the principle of gravity to keep the straight rod stably in the open or closed position. Alternatively, the clothes can be hung at a lower position by directly bending the straight rod by hand. Due to its fewer parts, simple structure, long service life, and ease of manufacturing and widespread application, it is easy to use."
[0004] In summary, the existing clothes hangers still have the following technical problems: The above-mentioned devices prevent the clothes hangers from falling off the clothes drying rack by setting a locking structure at the front end of the hook. However, most clothes drying racks are set too high in order to receive more sunlight. If the clothes drying rack does not have a lifting function, it is necessary to use a clothes drying rod to help hang it. However, this will make it impossible to open and close the lock. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a self-locking clothes drying rack to provide a new technical solution to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above patent. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a self-locking clothes rack to address the aforementioned technical problems. This solution uses a self-locking structure in conjunction with the clothes rack body. The locking structure of the frame is set in a Z-shape. By pushing the bottom of the Z-shaped locking structure, it rotates around the pivot, automatically opening the frame structure. If the clothesline is high, it can be pushed upwards with the clothesline. The clothesline pushes the U-shaped groove at the bottom of the Z-shaped locking structure, causing it to rotate around the pivot, thus opening the frame structure. A torsion spring is fitted onto the pivot. When the hand or clothesline stops pressing on the bottom of the Z-shaped locking structure, the torsion spring releases its elastic potential energy, causing the pivot to rotate, thus closing the opening at the front of the frame structure. This effectively prevents the clothes rack from falling and solves the problem of inconvenience in using existing clothes racks.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A self-locking clothes drying rack.
[0008] The self-locking clothes rack specifically includes a clothes rack body and a self-locking structure, wherein the self-locking structure is disposed inside the clothes rack body;
[0009] The clothes hanger body includes a frame structure, and a hook is fixedly connected to the top of the frame structure. A locking groove is provided at the opening of the hook.
[0010] The self-locking structure includes a Z-shaped locking structure for limiting the position of the hanger body. The Z-shaped locking structure is rotatably connected to the frame structure via a rotating shaft. The end of the Z-shaped locking structure is provided with a locking limiting rod that engages with the locking groove. The rotating shaft is fixed to the top of the center rod of the Z-shaped locking structure.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the self-locking clothes rack provided by this utility model, a positioning ring is fixedly connected inside the frame structure, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the positioning ring. The end of the rotating shaft away from the positioning ring is fixedly connected to a Z-shaped locking structure.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the self-locking clothes rack provided by this utility model, an end protrusion is fixedly connected to one end of the Z-shaped locking structure near the opening of the frame structure. A locking limit rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the end protrusion. The locking limit rod is arranged parallel to the top crossbar of the Z-shaped locking structure and is engaged inside the locking groove.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the self-locking clothes rack provided by this utility model, a fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft. The two ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the positioning ring and the fixing sleeve, respectively.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the self-locking clothes rack provided by this utility model, an unlocking limit rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the longitudinal rod of the Z-shaped locking structure. The unlocking limit rod is set inside the frame structure, and the unlocking limit rod can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft when the shaft rotates.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the self-locking clothes rack provided by this utility model, the bottom surface of the bottom crossbar of the Z-shaped locking structure is provided with a U-shaped groove that matches the clothes drying rod. The rotating shaft drives the Z-shaped locking structure to rotate, and at the same time, it can drive the locking limit rod at the front end to separate from the locking groove.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This utility model provides a self-locking clothes rack. By setting a self-locking structure in conjunction with the clothes rack body, the locking structure of the hook is set in a Z-shape. By pushing the bottom end of the Z-shaped locking structure, it rotates around the pivot, thereby automatically opening the hook opening. If the clothes drying rod is high, it can be pushed upwards with the help of the clothes drying rod. The clothes drying rod pushes the U-shaped groove at the bottom end of the Z-shaped locking structure, which also makes the Z-shaped locking structure rotate around the pivot, thereby opening the hook opening. At the same time, a torsion spring is sleeved on the surface of the pivot. When the hand or the clothes drying rod stops pressing on the bottom end of the Z-shaped locking structure, the torsion spring can release elastic potential energy to drive the pivot to rotate, thereby closing the hook opening. This effectively prevents the clothes rack from falling and solves the problem of inconvenience in using existing clothes racks. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0026] As described in the background art, the above-mentioned device prevents the clothes hanger from falling off the clothes drying bar by setting a locking structure at the front end of the hook. However, most clothes drying bars are set too high in order to receive more sunlight. If the clothes drying bar does not have a lifting function, it is necessary to use a clothes drying rod to help hang it up, but this will make it impossible to open and close the lock.
[0027] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a self-locking clothes drying rack.
[0028] For details, please refer to Figures 1-4 The self-locking clothes rack specifically includes a clothes rack body 1 and a self-locking structure 2, which is located inside the clothes rack body 1.
[0029] The clothes hanger body 1 includes a frame structure 3, and a hook 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame structure 3. A locking groove 6 is provided at the opening of the hook 5.
[0030] The self-locking structure 2 includes a Z-type locking structure 10 for limiting the position of the hanger body 1. The Z-type locking structure 10 is rotatably connected to the frame structure 3 via a pivot 8. The end of the Z-type locking structure 10 is provided with a locking limiting rod 13 that engages with the locking groove 6. The pivot 8 is fixed to the top of the center rod of the Z-type locking structure 10.
[0031] The self-locking clothes rack provided by this utility model, through the setting of a self-locking structure 2 in conjunction with the clothes rack body 1, sets the locking structure of the hook 5 to a Z-shape. By pushing the bottom end of the Z-shaped locking structure 10 to make it rotate around the pivot 8, the opening of the hook 5 can be automatically opened. At the same time, if the clothes drying rod is high, it can be pushed upward with the help of the clothes drying rod. The clothes drying rod pushes the U-shaped groove 15 at the lower end of the Z-shaped locking structure 10, which can also make the Z-shaped locking structure 10 rotate around the pivot 8, thereby opening the opening of the hook 5. Meanwhile, a torsion spring 11 is sleeved on the surface of the pivot 8. When the hand or the clothes drying rod stops pressing the bottom end of the Z-shaped locking structure 10, the torsion spring 11 can release elastic potential energy to drive the pivot 8 to rotate, thereby closing the opening at the front end of the hook 5, thus effectively preventing the clothes rack from falling, and solving the problem of inconvenience in the use of existing clothes racks.
[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] Please refer to Figures 2-4 A self-locking clothes rack includes a clothes rack body 1 and a self-locking structure 2, which is disposed inside the clothes rack body 1;
[0035] The clothes hanger body 1 includes a frame structure 3, and a hook 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame structure 3. A locking groove 6 is provided at the opening of the hook 5.
[0036] The self-locking structure 2 includes a Z-type locking structure 10 for limiting the position of the hanger body 1. The Z-type locking structure 10 is rotatably connected to the frame structure 3 via a pivot 8. The end of the Z-type locking structure 10 is provided with a locking limiting rod 13 that engages with the locking groove 6. The pivot 8 is fixed to the top of the center rod of the Z-type locking structure 10.
[0037] Specifically, a positioning ring 7 is fixedly connected inside the frame structure 3, and a rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected inside the positioning ring 7. The end of the rotating shaft 8 away from the positioning ring 7 is fixedly connected to the Z-type locking structure 10.
[0038] Specifically, an end protrusion 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the Z-type locking structure 10 near the opening of the frame structure 3. A locking limit rod 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the end protrusion 12. The locking limit rod 13 is arranged parallel to the top crossbar of the Z-type locking structure 10 and is engaged inside the locking groove 6.
[0039] Specifically, a fixing sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 8, and a torsion spring 11 is sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 8. The two ends of the torsion spring 11 are fixedly connected to the positioning ring 7 and the fixing sleeve 9, respectively.
[0040] Specifically, an unlocking limit rod 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the longitudinal rod of the Z-type locking structure 10. The unlocking limit rod 14 is set inside the frame structure 3. When the rotating shaft 8 rotates, the unlocking limit rod 14 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 8.
[0041] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the Z-type locking structure 10 consists of two horizontal bars and one vertical bar. The two horizontal bars are respectively set on both sides of the upper and lower ends of the vertical bar. With the pivot as the axis, the combined weight of the lower horizontal bar and the vertical bar is greater than that of the upper horizontal bar.
[0042] Furthermore, under natural conditions, the weight of the lower crossbar combined with the longitudinal bar will cause the Z-type locking structure 10 to flip downwards around the pivot 8, causing the end of the upper crossbar away from the longitudinal bar to tilt upwards.
[0043] With the above structural design, when using this device, first hang the clothes on the surface of the hook 5, then press the crossbar at the bottom of the Z-type locking structure 10. After being squeezed, the Z-type locking structure 10 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate inside the positioning ring 7. While the rotating shaft 8 rotates, the torsion spring 11 accumulates elastic potential energy. Since the crossbars at the top and bottom ends of the Z-type locking structure 10 are set in parallel, the bottom crossbar flips and drives the top crossbar to rotate synchronously. While the crossbar rotates, the locking limit rod 13 separates from the locking groove 6, thus opening the opening at the front end of the hook 5. After that, hang the hook 5 on the surface of the clothes drying bar. When the hand stops squeezing the bottom crossbar of the Z-type locking structure 10, the torsion spring 11 releases its elastic potential energy. At this time, the torsion spring 11 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate inside the positioning ring 7, causing the Z-type locking structure 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the locking limit rod 13 is re-engaged into the locking groove 6, thereby completing the locking of the frame structure 3 and the hook 5.
[0044] Example 2:
[0045] The self-locking clothes rack provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom surface of the bottom crossbar of the Z-type locking structure 10 is provided with a U-shaped groove 15 that matches the clothes drying rod. When the rotating shaft 8 drives the Z-type locking structure 10 to rotate, it can also drive the locking limit rod 13 at the front end to separate from the locking groove 6.
[0046] With the above structural design, when the clothes drying bar is high, after hanging clothes on the surface of the frame structure 3, the top of the clothes drying bar can be engaged with the inside of the U-shaped groove 15. The clothes drying bar pushes the U-shaped groove 15, causing the bottom of the Z-shaped locking structure 10 to drive the top bar to rotate synchronously around the pivot 8, so that the locking limit rod 13 separates from the locking groove 6. While the pivot 8 rotates, the torsion spring 11 accumulates elastic potential energy. At the same time, the Z-shaped locking structure 10 rotates, driving the unlocking limit rod 14 to rotate until the unlocking limit rod 14 contacts the inner frame of the frame structure 3, at which point the Z-shaped locking structure 10 stops rotating. At this time, the hook 5 can be hung on the surface of the higher clothes drying bar with the help of the clothes drying bar. When the clothes drying bar stops contacting the U-shaped groove 15, the torsion spring 11 drives the pivot 8 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the locking limit rod 13 is engaged with the inside of the locking groove 6, thereby locking the hook 5.
