Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of clothes drying machine technology, specifically relating to a clothes drying machine main unit end cover, a clothes drying machine main unit, and a clothes drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, concealed clothes drying racks require installation with expansion studs on the ceiling, necessitating the design of additional stud mounting holes on the outer frame. However, this design has a significant drawback: if the mounting holes are too large, noticeable holes will remain on the outer frame of the drying rack after installation with the expansion studs, severely impacting the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0003] To compensate for the problem of excessively large openings, existing technologies add a shielding structure to the mating end cover. However, this shielding structure is only suitable for concealed clothes drying racks. If applied to exposed clothes drying racks, it not only fails to provide shielding but also disrupts the overall design of the exposed clothes drying rack, resulting in an uncoordinated product appearance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the existing technology and provide a main unit end cover for a clothes drying rack. The cover is detachably connected to the end cover housing through the second mounting part. It can cover the expansion screw mounting holes on a concealed clothes drying rack or assemble the end cover housing separately on a surface-mounted clothes drying rack, and has versatility.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

Since the first mounting groove 31 has an upward-facing first opening, the second mounting part 22 can enter the first mounting groove 31 from top to bottom. At this time, the limiting protrusion 222 corresponds to the limiting hole 43 and engages within the limiting hole 43. Simultaneously, the hook 411 inserts into the snap-fit ​​groove 2211, and the end of the hook 411 limits the limiting protrusion 222, thus achieving double limiting of the second mounting part 22. In one embodiment, the end of the hook 411 is L-shaped.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, the end cover housing 1 includes an end cover body 11, a first support arm 12, and a second support arm 13. The first support arm 12 and the second support arm 13 are respectively disposed opposite to each other at both ends of the end cover body 11 and extend in a horizontal direction. A first mounting groove 31 is disposed in the end cover body 11. In this embodiment, the end cover body 11 includes an end cover top plate 111, an end cover bottom plate 112, and an end cover side plate 113. The end cover top plate 111 and the end cover bottom plate 112 are connected by the end cover side plate 113. A plurality of enclosing plates are provided on the edge of the end cover top plate 111 facing the end cover bottom plate 112. The plurality of enclosing plates and the end cover top plate 111 enclose to form the first mounting groove 31. The first mounting groove 31 has an upward-facing first opening. Here, "upward" means that during the process of installing the clothes drying machine main unit end cover on the ceiling, the first opening faces the ceiling.

[0040] In another embodiment, the first mounting groove 31 has an upward-facing first opening and a horizontally arranged second opening; the limiting structure 4 includes a first latching part 41, which includes at least two opposing elastic hooks that extend in a horizontal direction; the second mounting part 22 includes a second latching part 221 and a plurality of limiting protrusions 222, the second latching part 221 including a latching groove 2211 that extends through at least one limiting protrusion 222 and extends in a vertical direction; the elastic hooks are inserted into the latching groove 2211 and the ends of the elastic hooks limit the limiting protrusions 222. Since the first mounting groove 31 has an upward-facing first opening, the second mounting part 22 can enter the first mounting groove 31 from top to bottom. At this time, the limiting protrusion 222 corresponds to the position of the limiting hole 43 and engages in the limiting hole 43. Simultaneously, the elastic hook penetrates into the snap-fit ​​groove 2211, and the end of the elastic hook limits the limiting protrusion 222, achieving double limiting of the second mounting part 22. At the same time, the first mounting groove 31 has a horizontally set second opening, and the second mounting part 22 can enter the first mounting groove 31 in the horizontal direction and squeeze the elastic hook. As the second mounting part 22 moves, the elastic hook can engage in the snap-fit ​​groove 2211. When it is necessary to remove the cover 21, it can be removed by moving it upward from the first mounting groove 31 along the first opening. In one embodiment, the end of the elastic hook is L-shaped or hook-shaped.
