Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothes rack technology, specifically to a retractable folding clothes clip. Background Technology

[0002] Clothes racks are an indispensable tool in daily household life and clothing drying. Currently, the mainstream clothes racks on the market are mainly divided into two types: fixed type and simple folding type.

[0003] While fixed clothes racks can provide stable support for drying clothes, their fixed structure makes it impossible to adjust the space they occupy according to usage needs. When not in use, the fixed structure still occupies a large area of ​​the balcony or indoors, which can easily lead to space waste, especially for users with limited living space. In addition, they are difficult to move and store.

[0004] While existing simple folding clothes racks have solved some storage problems, their folding structure design has obvious flaws: most simple folding clothes racks only use a single hinge to achieve the overall folding of the main frame, and the folded size is still relatively large; at the same time, the side bars of existing folding clothes racks are mostly integral structures, which cannot achieve segmented folding, and the compactness after folding is insufficient, making it difficult to meet the storage needs of small spaces.

[0005] In summary, existing clothes racks still have significant shortcomings in terms of compactness. There is an urgent need for a clothes rack that can achieve flexible multi-section folding to save storage space, while ensuring structural stability when unfolded and providing ample drying space, in order to solve the pain points of existing products.

[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] See Figures 1-5 To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this utility model provides a retractable folding clothespin to solve the aforementioned technical problems. The technical solution is as follows:

[0037] A retractable folding clothespin includes: a main frame 110 and a plurality of clothes hooks 120 spaced apart and connected to the main frame 110;

[0038] The main frame 110 includes a main pole 111 and two sets of auxiliary frames, which are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the main pole 111.

[0039] Each auxiliary frame includes two side rods 112 and one side rod 113. One end of the two side rods 112 is hinged to the corresponding end of the main rod 111, and the other end of the two side rods 112 is hinged to the side rod 113.

[0040] The side rod 112 includes a first side rod 112-1 and a second side rod 112-2 that are hinged to each other; the other end of the first side rod 112-1 is hinged to the end of the main rod 111, and the other end of the second side rod 112-2 is hinged to the side rod 113.

[0041] Under the action of external force, the first side rod 112-1 and the second side rod 112-2 can be folded inward or unfolded outward around their hinge point.

[0042] In this embodiment, the other end of the first side rod 112-1 is hinged to the end of the main rod 111 via the first joint 150;

[0043] The first connector 150 includes a first block 151, a left pipe connector 154, a right pipe connector 153, and a side pipe connector 152.

[0044] The left pipe connector 154 and the right pipe connector 153 are respectively hinged to both sides of the first block 151.

[0045] The side tube connector 152 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first block 151 facing the main rod 111;

[0046] The end of the main rod 111 is interference-fitted into the inner hole of the side tube connector 152;

[0047] In the two sets of auxiliary frames, the end of the first side rod 112-1 located on the left side of the main rod 111 is interference-fitted into the inner hole of the left pipe joint 154, and the end of the first side rod 112-1 located on the right side of the main rod 111 is interference-fitted into the inner hole of the right pipe joint 153.

[0048] It should be noted that the first joint 150 serves as the connection hub between the main rod 111 and the first side rods 112-1 on both sides. It is fixed to the main rod 111 by an interference fit with the side tube joint 152, and then hinged to the first side rods 112-1 on both sides by the left / right tube joints. This ensures a stable connection between the main rod and the side rods, and also allows the first side rods to rotate flexibly around the joint, so as to realize the overall unfolding / folding of the auxiliary frame.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first side rod 112-1 and the second side rod 112-2 are hinged together by the second joint 140;

[0050] The second connector 140 includes a second block 141, a left pipe connector 142, and a right pipe connector 143.

[0051] The left pipe connector 154 and the right pipe connector 153 are respectively hinged to both sides of the second block 141.

[0052] The end of the first side rod 112-1 is interference-fitted into the inner hole of the left pipe joint 142, and the end of the second side rod 112-2 is interference-fitted into the inner hole of the right pipe joint 143.

[0053] It should be noted that the second connector 140 is used to connect the first side rod 112-1 and the second side rod 112-2. The left pipe connector 142 and the right pipe connector 143 are respectively interference-fitted to the two side rods. At the same time, the two pipe connectors are hinged to the second block 141, so that the first and second side rods can be folded / unfolded around the connector, realizing the segmented folding of the side rods and greatly reducing the storage volume.

[0054] In this embodiment, the other end of the second side rod 112-2 is hinged to the side rod 113 via the third joint 160;

[0055] The third connector 160 includes a third block 161, a left pipe connector three 163, and a side pipe connector two 162;

[0056] Left pipe joint 3 163 is hinged to one side of the third block 161; side pipe joint 2 162 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third block 161 facing the main rod 111;

[0057] The end of the second side rod 112-2 is interference-fitted into the inner hole of the left pipe joint 163, and the end of the side rod 113 is interference-fitted into the inner hole of the side pipe joint 162.

[0058] It should be noted that the third connector 160 serves to connect the second side rod 112-2 and the side rod 113. The left tube connector 163 is hinged to the second side rod, and the side tube connector 162 is interference-fitted to the side rod. This allows the side rod to expand / contract synchronously with the rotation of the second side rod, and also ensures the structural stability of the side rod after it is connected to the side rod, preventing the side rod from swaying during drying.

[0059] In this embodiment, the clothes hook 120 includes a rod 121 connected to the main frame 110, and a hook 122 connected to the rod 121.

[0060] In this embodiment, clothes hanger hooks 130 are provided on the main rod 111 and the two side rods 113.

[0061] The present invention provides a method for storing retractable folding clothespins as follows:

[0062] (1) First remove the clothes hanging on the clothes hook 120 to ensure that the main frame 110 is unloaded and avoid structural damage caused by clothes getting stuck when folding.

[0063] (2) For each auxiliary frame body side bar 112, hold the middle of the first side bar 112-1 and the middle of the second side bar 112-2 with both hands respectively, and apply a pushing force to the inside of the main frame body 110: the first side bar 112-1 and the second side bar 112-2 rotate inward around the hinge point of the second joint 140 until the two are folded and attached.

[0064] (3) As the second side rod 112-2 is folded in half, the side rod 113 moves towards the main rod 111 through the third joint 160, and is pushed towards the main rod 111 with force until the side rod 113 and the main rod 111 are parallel and close together, and the whole hanger is long and compact, as shown. Figure 3 As shown.
