Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of clothes drying devices, and in particular to a clothes drying pole. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional clotheslines include hanging clotheslines and wall-mounted clotheslines. Both types should have a telescopic function to adjust their length to suit different environments and temporary needs. Since the length of the clothesline needs to be adjustable, a length locking mechanism is required to control its length.

[0003] However, the addition of a length locking mechanism makes locking and unlocking the two sections of the clothesline particularly cumbersome, resulting in complicated operation and a reduced user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a clothes drying rod that is easier to unlock when the two sections of the rod are unlocked, thereby improving the user experience.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A clothes drying rack, comprising:

[0007] A crossbar for hanging clothes or quilts; the crossbar includes at least two segmented rods that are movably connected, and one of the segmented rods is rotatable about the axis of the crossbar relative to the other segmented rod.

[0008] A locking element is movably connected to a segment rod that can rotate about the axis of the crossbar and abuts against another segment rod under its own weight to prevent the two segment rods from approaching each other along the length direction of the crossbar to shorten the length of the crossbar, and / or from moving away from each other to lengthen the length of the crossbar.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking member is capable of rotating around the axis of the segment rod to which it is movably connected, so as to disengage from the other segment rod under the action of gravity, thereby allowing the two segment rods to move closer to and / or further away from each other along the length of the crossbar.

[0010] Furthermore, the hinged end of the locking member is hinged to one of the segment rods, so that the swinging end of the locking member can swing downward under the action of gravity and abut against the other segment rod, thereby preventing the two segment rods from approaching and / or moving away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar.

[0011] Furthermore, another segment rod is provided with a strip-shaped stop structure, the strip-shaped stop structure including multiple grooves arranged sequentially along the length direction of the segment rod; the swing end of the locking member is provided with a stop protrusion, the stop protrusion being able to insert into one of the grooves after the locking member swings downward, so as to prevent the two segment rods from approaching and / or moving away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar; and, the stop protrusion being able to disengage from the groove under its own gravity after the locking member rotates around the axis of the segment rod following the segment rod movably connected to it, so as to allow the two segment rods to approach and / or move away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar.

[0012] Furthermore, the groove is a check groove structure, the check groove structure has a check slope inclined in the length direction of the segment rod, the check slope is used to abut the stop protrusion to prevent the two segment rods from approaching or moving away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking element is disposed in the rod cavity of the crossbar, and the groove is disposed on the inner side wall of the corresponding segment rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the locking element is located outside the crossbar, and the groove is located on the outer side wall of the corresponding segment bar.

[0015] Furthermore, one of the segment rods is linked to a sliding sleeve, which is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the other segment rod. The sliding sleeve is pivotally connected to the locking member so that the locking member forms a lever structure. The hinge end of the locking member is located between the swing end and the handle end of the locking member. The circumferential side of the sliding sleeve has an operating port, and the handle end is closer to the operating port than the swing end.

[0016] Furthermore, the handle end extends through the operating port to the outside of the sliding sleeve.

[0017] Furthermore, the swing end of the locking member is provided with a pointed portion, which is used to insert into another segment rod to prevent the two segment rods from approaching each other and / or moving away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar.

[0018] Furthermore, the horizontal ends of the crossbar are respectively the wall-supporting ends.

[0019] Furthermore, the support end is connected to a fine-tuning seat, which is movable relative to the crossbar along the axial direction of the crossbar and locked to the support end.

[0020] Furthermore, the fine-tuning seat is threadedly connected to the support end and sleeved on the support end.

[0021] Furthermore, a buffer pad is provided on the side of the fine-tuning seat away from the crossbar, and the buffer pad is used to abut against the wall.

[0022] Furthermore, the segment rod with the locking element includes a main segment rod and a secondary segment rod, the main segment rod and the secondary segment rod are threaded together, the wall support end is located on the main segment rod, and the locking element is located on the secondary segment rod.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0024] 1. By interlocking two segmented rods of the crossbar, maintaining their rotational freedom relative to each other, the length of the crossbar can be adjusted by allowing relative movement between the two rods. Furthermore, since one segmented rod is movably connected to a locking element, after adjusting the length of the crossbar, the locking element, under its own weight, lowers and abuts against the other segmented rod, thus restricting the relative movement between the two rods. This achieves the adjustment and control of the crossbar length. The locking method is simple, effortless, and quick, thereby improving the user experience.

[0025] 2. When it is necessary to unlock the length adjustment limit of the crossbar, simply rotate the segment rod that is movably connected to the locking component, so that the locking component rotates around the crossbar in a circumferential direction. This releases the locking component from the contact or compression relationship between the locking component and the other segment rod by its own weight, thus restoring the length adjustment function of the crossbar. The unlocking method is simple, labor-saving, and quick, thereby further improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0041] It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is described as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementations.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0043] First embodiment:

[0044] See Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of a clothes drying rod includes: a horizontal bar 1 and a locking member 2.

[0045] The crossbar 1 is used for hanging clothes or quilts. The crossbar 1 includes at least two segmented rods 11, which are movably inserted together, and one segmented rod 11 is rotatable relative to the other segmented rod 11 about the axis of the crossbar 1. That is to say, the two segmented rods 11 are not only movably connected together to form a telescopic structure to adjust the length of the crossbar 1, but at least one segmented rod 11 also retains the freedom to rotate about the axis of the crossbar 1.

[0046] The locking element 2 is movably connected to a segment rod 11 that can rotate about the axis of the crossbar 1, and abuts against another segment rod 11 under its own weight, preventing the two segment rods 11 from approaching each other along the length direction of the crossbar 1 to shorten the length of the crossbar 1, and / or moving away from each other to lengthen the length of the crossbar 1. It should be noted that the schemes of the two segment rods 11 approaching each other and / or moving away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar 1 cover three methods: the first method is that the two segment rods 11 approach each other along the length direction of the crossbar 1 to shorten the length of the crossbar 1. The second method is that the two segment rods 11 move away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar 1 to lengthen the length of the crossbar 1. The third method is that the two segment rods 11 can not only approach each other to shorten the length of the crossbar 1, but also move away from each other to lengthen the length of the crossbar 1.

[0047] In use, the locking element 2 falls naturally under its own weight, thereby abutting against another segment rod 11, thus locking the two segment rods 11 together to prevent relative axial movement of the two segment rods 11, and thus preventing the crossbar 1 from extending, shortening, or retracting. Whether it extends, shortens, or both is restricted depends on the cooperation relationship between the locking element 2 and the other segment rod 11. That is to say, based on the movable connection of the locking element 2 with one segment rod 11 and then abutting against the other segment rod 11, the axial movement relationship between the two segment rods 11 is prevented. Depending on the application requirements, the locking element 2 can prevent the crossbar 1 from continuing to extend, prevent the crossbar 1 from continuing to shorten, or prevent both extension and shortening of the locking element 2.

[0048] When unlocking is required, the locking element 2 is movably connected to the segment rod 11 that can rotate around the axis of the crossbar 1. That is, the segment rod 11 movably connected to the locking element 2 can rotate relative to the other segment rod 11 around the axis of the crossbar 1. This causes the locking element 2 to be linked and rotate with the segment rod 11 it is movably connected to, and rotates upward around the axis of the crossbar 1. This releases the constraint force that caused it to abut or press against the other segment rod 11 when it was initially hanging down due to gravity. In other words, it releases the relative movement constraint function of the locking element 2 on the two segment rods 11, and realizes the unlocking of the crossbar 1 length adjustment.

[0049] Clearly, by interlocking the two segment rods 11 of the crossbar 1 and maintaining their rotational freedom relative to each other, not only can the two segment rods 11 move relative to each other to adjust the length of the crossbar 1, but also, based on the movable connection of one segment rod 11 to the locking member 2, after adjusting the length of the crossbar 1, the locking member 2, due to its own weight, hangs down, causing it to abut against the other segment rod 11. This restricts the relative movement between the two segment rods 11, thus realizing the adjustment and control of the length of the crossbar 1. The locking method is simple, effortless, and quick, thereby improving the user experience.

[0050] In addition, when it is necessary to unlock the length adjustment limit of the crossbar 1, simply rotate the segment rod 11 that is movably connected to the locking member 2, so that the locking member 2 rotates around the crossbar 1 in a circumferential direction, thereby releasing the contact or compression relationship between the locking member 2 and the other segment rod 11 by its own weight, and restoring the length adjustment function of the crossbar 1. The unlocking method is simple, labor-saving and quick, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0051] Preferably, the locking member 2 can rotate around the axis of the segment rod 11 it is movably connected to, so as to disengage from the other segment rod 11 under the action of gravity, allowing the two segment rods 11 to approach and / or move away from each other along the length of the crossbar 1. Specifically, when it is necessary to unlock the length adjustment limit of the crossbar 1, rotating the segment rod 11 movably connected to the locking member 2 causes the locking member 2 to swing upward around the circumference of the crossbar 1, thereby releasing the contact or compression relationship between the locking member 2 and the other segment rod 11 by its own gravity, thus restoring the length adjustment function of the crossbar 1. The unlocking method is simple, effortless, and quick, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0052] Preferably, the hinged end 21 of the locking member 2 is hinged to one of the segment rods 11, so that the swing end 22 of the locking member 2 can swing downward under the action of gravity and abut against the other segment rod 11, thereby preventing the two segment rods 11 from approaching each other and / or moving away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar 1. It can be understood that the hinged method, in the movable connection method, has the effect of preventing the locking member 2 from slipping off the segment rod 11. That is to say, as an alternative to the hinged method, the locking member 2 can be slidably connected to the corresponding segment rod 11, and then slide down under its own gravity until it abuts against the other segment rod 11, thereby preventing the axial movement of the two segment rods 11; in comparison, the latter is more likely to cause the locking member 2 to slip off the segment rod 11.

[0053] Preferably, the other segment rod 11 is provided with a strip-shaped stop structure 3, which includes multiple grooves 31 arranged sequentially along the length direction of the segment rod 11; the swing end 22 of the locking member 2 is provided with a stop protrusion 221, which can be inserted into one of the grooves 31 after the locking member 2 swings downward, so as to prevent the two segment rods 11 from approaching each other and / or moving away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar 1. Furthermore, the stop protrusion 221 can disengage from the groove 31 under its own weight after the locking member 2 rotates around the axis of the segment rod 11 following its rotation, so as to allow the two segment rods 11 to approach each other and / or move away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar 1; that is, the stop protrusion 221 disengages from the groove 31 under its own weight. It is understandable that the advantage of this design is that multiple grooves 31 form a rack structure, which allows the stop protrusion 221 to fit into multiple grooves 31, thereby achieving stepless adjustment of the length of the crossbar 1, and the adjustment method is reliable.

[0054] Preferably, the groove 31 is a check groove structure, which has a check slope 311 inclined towards the length direction of the segment rod 11. The check slope 311 abuts against the stop protrusion 221 to prevent the two segment rods 11 from approaching or moving away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar 1. With this configuration, the check groove structure is similar to a ratchet structure, allowing only unidirectional movement. It can be understood that the orientation of the check slope 311 determines whether the crossbar 1 can only shorten or extend, and under the condition that the stop protrusion 221 and the groove 31 are engaged, it can continuously shorten or extend, but cannot be adjusted in the opposite direction. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the crossbar 1 against the action of the check ramp 311, the engagement between the stop protrusion 221 and the groove 31 needs to be released. This requires rotating the segment rod 11 hinged to the locking member 2, causing the locking member 2 to swing upwards around the circumference of the crossbar 1. This releases the locking member 2 from its own weight's contact or compression with the other segment rod 11, restoring the crossbar 1's length adjustment function. It should be noted that, compared to the rack structure, the check ramp structure retains the function of unidirectional shortening or lengthening of the crossbar 1, while the rack structure directly restricts the length extension and contraction of the crossbar 1, meaning it cannot be lengthened or shortened.

[0055] Preferably, the locking element 2 is located in the rod cavity 12 of the crossbar 1, and the groove 31 is located on the inner side wall of the corresponding segment rod 11. With this arrangement, the locking element 2 is in a relatively concealed position and is not easily damaged by bumps.

[0056] Second embodiment:

[0057] The second embodiment includes the first embodiment, but differs from the second embodiment in that:

[0058] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 Preferably, the locking element 2 is located outside the crossbar 1, and the groove 31 is located on the outer side wall of the corresponding segment bar 11. With this arrangement, when the locking element 2 cannot function properly under its own weight, it can be operated manually in a timely manner, making maintenance more convenient.

[0059] To facilitate operation of the locking element 2, preferably, one segment rod 11 is linked to a sliding sleeve 13, which is movably fitted onto the outer wall of another segment rod 11. The sliding sleeve 13 is pivotally connected to the locking element 2, so that the locking element 2 forms a lever structure. The hinge end 21 of the locking element 2 is located between the swing end 22 and the handle end 23 of the locking element 2. The circumferential side of the sliding sleeve 13 has an operating port 131, and the handle end 23 is closer to the operating port 131 than the swing end 22. With this arrangement, the locking element 2 is not only in a concealed position but also easily operated by hand for emergencies.

[0060] Third embodiment:

[0061] The third embodiment includes the second embodiment, but differs from the second embodiment in that:

[0062] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 Since some users have thicker fingers that make it difficult to insert into the operating port 131, preferably, the handle end 23 extends through the operating port 131 to the outside of the sliding sleeve 13. This design makes it easier to control the handle while retaining part of the locking element 2 within the sliding sleeve 13.

[0063] Fourth embodiment:

[0064] The fourth embodiment includes the first embodiment, but differs from the second embodiment in that:

[0065] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 Preferably, the swing end 22 of the locking member 2 is provided with a pointed portion 222, which is used to pierce another segment rod 11 to prevent the two segment rods 11 from approaching each other and / or moving away from each other along the length direction of the crossbar 1. With this arrangement, it is not necessary to provide a groove 31 in the segment rod 11, but the pointed portion 222 is prone to piercing the other segment rod 11, thereby reducing the service life of the locking member 2.

[0066] Fifth embodiment:

[0067] The fifth embodiment includes the first embodiment, but differs from the second embodiment in that:

[0068] See Figures 11-13 Preferably, the horizontal ends of the crossbar 1 are wall-supporting ends 14. In use, after the crossbar 1 is extended, the two wall-supporting ends 14 press firmly against the wall, thereby suspending the crossbar 1 in the air. This arrangement also allows the crossbar 1 to be supported by other clothes racks. As an alternative arrangement, the crossbar 1 can be supported by a hanging rod or rope, etc.

[0069] Preferably, the wall-supporting end 14 is connected to a fine-tuning seat 4, which can move relative to the crossbar 1 along the axial direction of the crossbar 1 and is locked to the wall-supporting end 14. It can be understood that when it is necessary to fix the crossbar 1 to the wall, in addition to the rapid extension and retraction of the two segmented rods 11 to achieve length extension, fine adjustment can also be achieved through the fine-tuning seat 4, thereby increasing the compressive force of the wall-supporting end 14 on the wall to ensure that the crossbar 1 will not fall.

[0070] Preferably, the fine-tuning seat 4 is threadedly connected to the wall support end 14 and sleeved on the wall support end 14. This arrangement makes adjusting the fine-tuning seat 4 particularly convenient. When it is necessary to remove the crossbar 1 from the wall, the length of the crossbar 1 can be shortened by bringing the segment bars 11 closer together, or by rotating the fine-tuning seat 4. It can be understood that, as an alternative to the threaded connection between the fine-tuning seat 4 and the wall support end 14, the fine-tuning seat 4 and the wall support end 14 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, or fine-tuning can be performed by positioning the pin and the positioning hole.

[0071] Preferably, to prevent damage to the fine-tuning seat 4 and the segment rod 11, a buffer pad 5 is provided on the side of the fine-tuning seat 4 away from the crossbar 1. The buffer pad 5 is used to abut against the wall. The buffer pad 5 can be a rubber pad, a plastic pad, a hemp rope pad, or a suction cup, etc.

[0072] Sixth embodiment:

[0073] The fifth embodiment includes the first embodiment, but differs from the second embodiment in that:

[0074] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 Preferably, the segment rod 11 equipped with the locking element 2 includes a main segment rod 111 and a secondary segment rod 112. The main segment rod 111 and the secondary segment rod 112 are threaded together. The wall-supporting end 14 is located on the main segment rod 111, and the locking element 2 is located on the secondary segment rod 112. With this configuration, when it is necessary to fix the crossbar 1 to the wall, in addition to the rapid extension and retraction of the two segment rods 11 to achieve length extension, the length of the crossbar 1 can be finely adjusted by rotating the main segment rod 111 and the secondary segment rod 112 relative to each other. This extends the length of the crossbar 1, thereby increasing the compressive force of the wall-supporting end 14 on the wall and ensuring that the crossbar 1 will not fall. Since the segmental auxiliary rod 112 is located in the middle of the crossbar 1, and the locking member 2 is located on the segmental auxiliary rod 112, the operator only needs to rotate the segmental main rod 111 to sequentially drive the segmental auxiliary rod 112 and the locking member 2 to rotate, thereby switching between the locked and unlocked states of the locking member 2 to lock or unlock the length adjustment function of the crossbar 1. Furthermore, since the segmental auxiliary rod 112 can rotate relative to the segmental main rod 111, one hand can hold the segmental main rod 111, and the other hand can hold the segmental auxiliary rod 112. By rotating them relative to each other, fine-tuning between the segmental main rod 111 and the segmental auxiliary rod 112 can be achieved, allowing the two wall-supporting ends 14 of the crossbar 1 to further press against the wall, making the operation simpler and more efficient.
