Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of clothes drying equipment, and more particularly to a suspension assembly and clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electric clothes drying racks typically consist of two parts: a main unit and a clothes rack for drying clothes. The main unit, as the core driving component, integrates a power system and transmission mechanism. Specifically, the main unit generally contains two independent steel wire rope transmission assemblies driven by a drive motor. These two steel wire ropes hang down from the left and right ends or front and rear ends of the main unit housing and are fixedly connected to the corresponding ends of the clothes rack. When the user initiates the lifting command, the motor synchronously drives the two steel wire ropes to wind or release them through a reduction gearbox and other transmission structures, thereby realizing the electric lifting operation of the clothes rack and completing the function of drying or collecting clothes.

[0003] However, in actual production, assembly, and long-term use, the above structure is prone to the problem of inconsistent heights at both ends of the clothes rack. The specific reasons are as follows: Assembly and component precision errors: During the production assembly stage, due to limitations in processing technology, there may be slight deviations in the length and diameter of the two sets of wire ropes. At the same time, insufficient installation precision of components such as guide wheels and reels used to fix the wire ropes inside the main unit, or differences in frictional resistance of rotating components such as bearings, will cause uneven force on the two sets of wire ropes during the hanging process, which will ultimately result in different hanging lengths at the two ends of the clothes rack, forming a height difference.

[0004] Differences in tension deformation after long-term use: In daily use, electric clothes drying racks frequently bear the load of clothing weight, and the steel wire ropes repeatedly experience tensile and bending stresses during winding and unwinding. Due to potential differences in the distribution of stress points between the two sets of steel wire ropes, their elastic deformation or plastic deformation will gradually deviate after long-term use, further leading to differences in the actual effective lengths of the two sets of steel wire ropes, ultimately causing an imbalance in the height of the two ends of the clothes drying rack.

[0005] This inconsistency in height not only affects the aesthetics of the clothes drying rack, but also leads to uneven drying of clothes. It may even exacerbate the wear and tear on the main components due to long-term uneven stress, reducing the service life of the equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a suspension component and clothes rack that can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: On the one hand, a suspension assembly is provided, comprising: A fixing frame for fixing to a clothes rack includes a vertical plate and a first horizontal plate vertically connected to the top side of the vertical plate; A wire fixing frame is arranged parallel to the first horizontal plate. The wire fixing frame has a wire clamping groove on the side facing the vertical plate to allow the wire rope to pass through, and the width of the wire clamping groove is smaller than the diameter of the rope end connected to the end of the wire rope. An adjusting component connects the fixing frame and the cable holder, allowing the installation height of the cable holder to be adjusted. The first horizontal plate is provided with a wire passage hole corresponding to the wire clamping groove, and the vertical plate is provided with a wire placement sliding hole communicating with the wire passage hole. The wire rope can be laterally guided into the wire passage hole through the wire placement sliding hole. The width of the wire placement sliding hole is smaller than the diameter of the rope end, so that the rope end of the wire rope is restricted to the lower side of the wire fixing frame.

[0008] Optionally, the extension path of the sliding hole is provided with at least one bend and deflection section.

[0009] Optionally, the first horizontal plate or the vertical plate is provided with an insertion hole communicating with the line-setting sliding hole, the width of the insertion hole being greater than the diameter of the rope end, so that the rope end can pass through the insertion hole.

[0010] Optionally, the insertion hole is disposed on the first horizontal plate and spaced apart from the wire passage hole.

[0011] Optionally, the extension path of the wire-laying sliding hole is U-shaped, with its two ends connected to the insertion hole and the wire-passing hole, respectively.

[0012] Optionally, the cable holder is provided with a clearance groove corresponding to the insertion hole on the side facing the vertical plate, and the rope end can move to the lower side of the cable holder through the insertion hole and the clearance groove.

[0013] Optionally, the end of the wire placement sliding hole away from the wire passage hole passes through one side wall of the wire fixing frame, so that the wire rope can be laterally inserted into the wire placement sliding hole.

[0014] Optionally, the adjusting member is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame, the adjusting member is provided with a threaded rod, and the cable holder is provided with a corresponding threaded hole, so that the installation height of the cable holder can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting member.

[0015] Optionally, the fixing frame further includes a second horizontal plate vertically connected to the bottom side of the vertical plate, and the adjusting member is rotatably mounted on the second horizontal plate.

[0016] On the other hand, a clothes rack is provided, including the aforementioned suspension components.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Based on the suspension component provided by this utility model, the problem of inconsistent wire rope length caused by assembly errors and long-term deformation can be addressed by adjusting the components to achieve highly precise adjustment. This can flexibly compensate for length deviations, ensuring that the clothes rack always remains horizontal and avoiding problems such as uneven drying of clothes and unevenness between the clothes rack and the main unit after retrieval. In addition, the bidirectional anti-slip design not only facilitates installation but also improves safety and stability. Specifically, during installation, the wire rope is simply inserted laterally into the wire placement slot and slid into the wire passage hole along the extension direction of the slot. The width of both the wire slot and the wire placement slot is smaller than the diameter of the rope end to form a double limit. That is, in the longitudinal direction, the rope end is blocked by the wire fixing frame and cannot come out of the wire slot; in the transverse direction, the vertical plate restricts the lateral sliding of the rope end, preventing the wire rope from slipping out of the wire passage hole.

[0024] Existing electric clothes drying racks typically consist of two parts: a main unit and a clothes rack for drying clothes. The main unit, as the core driving component, integrates a power system and transmission mechanism. Specifically, the main unit generally contains two independent steel wire rope transmission assemblies driven by a drive motor. These two steel wire ropes hang down from the left and right ends or front and rear ends of the main unit housing and are fixedly connected to the corresponding ends of the clothes rack. When the user initiates the lifting command, the motor synchronously drives the two steel wire ropes to wind or release them through a reduction gearbox and other transmission structures, thereby realizing the electric lifting operation of the clothes rack and completing the function of drying or collecting clothes.

[0025] However, in actual production, assembly, and long-term use, the above structure is prone to the problem of inconsistent heights at both ends of the clothes rack. The specific reasons are as follows: Assembly and component precision errors: During the production assembly stage, due to limitations in processing technology, there may be slight deviations in the length and diameter of the two sets of wire ropes. At the same time, insufficient installation precision of components such as guide wheels and reels used to fix the wire ropes inside the main unit, or differences in frictional resistance of rotating components such as bearings, will cause uneven force on the two sets of wire ropes during the hanging process, which will ultimately result in different hanging lengths at the two ends of the clothes rack, forming a height difference.

[0026] Differences in tension deformation after long-term use: In daily use, electric clothes drying racks frequently bear the load of clothing weight, and the steel wire ropes repeatedly experience tensile and bending stresses during winding and unwinding. Due to potential differences in the distribution of stress points between the two sets of steel wire ropes, their elastic deformation or plastic deformation will gradually deviate after long-term use, further leading to differences in the actual effective lengths of the two sets of steel wire ropes, ultimately causing an imbalance in the height of the two ends of the clothes drying rack.

[0027] This inconsistency in height not only affects the aesthetics of the clothes drying rack, but also leads to uneven drying of clothes. It may even exacerbate the wear and tear on the main components due to long-term uneven stress, reducing the service life of the equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution to solve the above problems.

[0028] To overcome the above technical problems, this application provides a suspension component that can be installed on the clothes rack of a clothes drying rack to connect with the steel wire rope of the main unit, thereby realizing the suspension function of the clothes rack. Furthermore, the suspension component of this solution has a height adjustment function, which can level the clothes rack through its own adjustment, compensating for the defect of uneven lengths of the steel wire ropes at both ends.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The suspension assembly of this embodiment includes a fixing frame 1, a cable fixing frame 2, and an adjusting member 3. The fixing frame 1 is used to fix the clothes rack, and it includes a vertical plate 11 and a first horizontal plate 12 vertically connected to the top side of the vertical plate 11. The cable fixing frame 2 is arranged parallel to the first horizontal plate 12. The cable fixing frame 2 has a cable clamping groove 21 on the side facing the vertical plate 11, which allows the steel wire rope 4 to pass through. The width of the cable clamping groove 21 is smaller than the diameter of the rope end 41 connected to the end of the steel wire rope 4. The adjusting member 3 connects the fixing frame 1 and the cable fixing frame 2, and the installation height of the cable fixing frame 2 can be adjusted by the adjusting member 3. The first horizontal plate 12 is provided with a wire passage hole 121 corresponding to the wire clamping groove 21, and the vertical plate 11 is provided with a wire placement sliding hole 111 communicating with the wire passage hole 121. The wire rope 4 can be laterally guided into the wire passage hole 121 through the wire placement sliding hole 111. The width of the wire placement sliding hole 111 is smaller than the diameter of the rope end 41, so that the rope end 41 at the end of the wire rope 4 is restricted to the lower side of the wire fixing frame 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, during installation, the wire rope 4 hangs down from the main unit and slides laterally through the wire placement sliding hole 111 of the vertical plate 11 into the wire passage hole 121 of the first horizontal plate 12, and is locked into the wire clamping groove 21 of the wire fixing frame 2. Since the width of the wire clamping groove 21 and the wire placement sliding hole 111 is smaller than the diameter of the rope end 41, the rope end 41 at the end of the wire rope 4 is restricted to the lower side of the wire fixing frame 2 and cannot slip out of the wire clamping groove 21 or the wire passage hole 121, thus ensuring the stability of the hoisting process.

[0031] When the two ends of the clothes rack have a height difference due to the difference in the length of the steel wire rope 4, the installation height of the fixing frame 2 can be changed by operating the adjusting component 3: if the clothes rack on one side is too low (corresponding to the actual length of the steel wire rope 4 being too long), the fixing frame 2 can be lowered by adjusting the component 3 to shorten the effective hoisting length of the steel wire rope 4 on that side, so that the clothes rack on that side is raised; if the clothes rack on one side is too high (corresponding to the actual length of the steel wire rope 4 being too short), the fixing frame 2 can be raised by adjusting the component 3 to increase the effective hoisting length of the steel wire rope 4 on that side, so that the clothes rack on that side is lowered; finally, by adjusting one side or both sides, the height of both ends of the clothes rack can be made consistent, so as to achieve the purpose of leveling.

[0032] Based on the suspension assembly provided in this embodiment, the length of the steel wire rope 4 is inconsistent due to assembly errors and deformation caused by long-term use. The adjustment component 3 can achieve highly precise adjustment, which can flexibly compensate for the length deviation and ensure that the clothes rack always remains horizontal, avoiding problems such as uneven drying of clothes and the clothes rack not being flush with the main unit after being retrieved.

[0033] In addition, the two-way anti-detachment design not only facilitates installation but also enhances safety and stability. Specifically, during installation, the wire rope 4 is simply inserted laterally into the wire placement sliding hole 111 and slid into the wire passage hole 121 along the extension direction of the wire placement sliding hole 111. The width of both the wire clamping groove 21 and the wire placement sliding hole 111 is smaller than the diameter of the rope head 41 to form a double limit. That is, in the longitudinal direction, the rope head 41 is blocked by the wire fixing frame 2 and cannot come out of the wire clamping groove 21; in the transverse direction, the vertical plate 11 restricts the transverse sliding of the rope head 41 to prevent the wire rope 4 from slipping out of the wire passage hole 121.

[0034] In one embodiment, the extension path of the sliding hole 111 is provided with at least one bend and deflection.

[0035] The bending and turning part can be designed as a right-angle turn, an obtuse-angle turn, an acute-angle turn, an arc turn, etc., and can be a single turn or multiple turns. For example, the overall extension path of the entire wire-placement sliding hole 111 can be "L-shaped", "S-shaped", "U-shaped", etc. The core is to break the straight extension path of the wire-placement sliding hole 111 and form at least one change of direction. For example, the wire-placement sliding hole 111 can first extend in the horizontal direction, and then extend longitudinally in the height direction of the vertical plate 11 through a 90° bending and turning part, and finally connect with the wire-passing hole 121 of the first horizontal plate 12, forming a two-stage bending structure of "horizontal + longitudinal".

[0036] Under normal use, when the steel wire rope 4 bears the suspension load of the clothes rack, it is in a taut state. Its position within the wire guide hole 111 naturally conforms to the bending path and does not shift laterally. However, when one side of the steel wire rope 4 becomes slack due to uneven stress, the slack steel wire rope 4 is prone to lateral movement. However, because the wire guide hole 111 has a bending and turning section, it forms a further physical obstruction. Specifically, if the steel wire rope 4 wants to pass through the wire guide hole 111 in the opposite direction, it must first move in the opposite direction of the bending and turning section (e.g., from the vertical section to the horizontal section). However, the bend at the turning point mechanically limits the steel wire rope 4, preventing it from passing smoothly. Therefore, even if the steel wire rope 4 is slightly slack, the locking effect at the bending and turning section still restricts its escape path, preventing the steel wire rope 4 from accidentally slipping out of the wire guide hole 111 or the wire clamping groove 21.

[0037] In this embodiment, the bending and turning part physically restricts the path, making it difficult for the installed wire rope 4 to wind out in the opposite direction. Even if one side of the wire rope 4 is slack, it can effectively prevent slippage and ensure the stability of the clothes drying rack. The bending and turning part can be processed on the vertical plate 11 using conventional processes such as stamping and cutting, without the need for additional complex parts. Without increasing costs excessively, it significantly improves the safety and reliability of the suspension components and extends the overall service life of the clothes drying rack.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first horizontal plate 12 or the vertical plate 11 is provided with an insertion hole 122 communicating with the wire guide hole 111. The width of the insertion hole 122 is greater than the diameter of the rope end 41, so that the rope end 41 can pass through the insertion hole 122. During installation, the rope end 41 can be inserted through the insertion hole 122, so that the wire rope 4 can be laterally aligned with the wire guide hole 111 and slide along its extension direction.

[0039] The width of the insertion hole 122 is greater than the diameter of the rope head 41 at the end of the wire rope 4 (in stark contrast to the size of the wire placement hole 111 and the wire clamping groove 21), ensuring that the rope head 41 can pass smoothly through the insertion hole 122 and enter the interior of the component; while the width of the wire placement hole 111 and the wire clamping groove 21 is still smaller than the diameter of the rope head 41, forming a structure with a loose entrance and a limited passage.

[0040] During installation, first, the rope head 41 at the end of the wire rope 4 is directly passed through the insertion hole 122, so that the rope head 41 enters the interior of the fixing frame 1 (under the wire fixing frame 2). After the rope head 41 passes through the insertion hole 122, the main body of the wire rope 4 can be laterally guided at the connection between the insertion hole 122 and the wire placement sliding hole 111, aligned with the entrance of the wire placement sliding hole 111, and pushed to slide the wire rope 4 along the extension direction of the wire placement sliding hole 111 until the main body of the wire rope 4 enters the wire passage hole 121 and the wire clamping groove 21. At this time, because the diameter of the rope head 41 is larger than the width of the wire placement sliding hole 111 and the wire clamping groove 21, it is restricted to the lower side of the wire fixing frame 2, thus completing the installation and positioning.

[0041] In traditional structures, without the insertion hole 122, the wire guide hole 111 needs to extend directly to the edge of the fixing frame 1 (vertical plate 11 or first horizontal plate 12) to form a lateral opening for easy sliding of the wire rope 4. However, this edge opening design would compromise the integrity of the edge of the fixing frame 1, making the opening a weak point in the structure. Under the long-term load of the clothes rack, the edge opening is prone to deformation or cracking due to stress concentration, affecting the overall load-bearing capacity of the fixing frame 1. In this embodiment, the insertion hole 122 serves as an independent rope end 41 inlet, allowing the wire guide hole 111 to guide and limit the wire rope 4 without extending to the edge of the fixing frame 1. The edge of the fixing frame 1 maintains its complete solid structure, avoiding the strength reduction problem caused by the opening. This design not only extends the service life of the suspension components themselves but also ensures the structural stability of the clothes rack during installation and reduces safety hazards caused by damage to the fixing frame 1.

[0042] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 3-4 The insertion hole 122 is disposed on the first horizontal plate 12 and is spaced apart from the wire passage hole 121.

[0043] The user or assembler passes the end 41 of the wire rope 4 through the insertion hole 122 of the first horizontal plate 12 from top to bottom. After the end 41 passes through the insertion hole 122, the main body of the wire rope 4 is aligned with the entrance of the wire placement sliding hole 111 on the vertical plate 11. Then, the wire rope 4 is slid into the wire placement sliding hole 111 and passes through the wire passage hole 121, and finally gets stuck in the wire clamping groove 21 of the wire fixing frame 2. Since the width of the wire passage hole 121 and the wire clamping groove 21 is smaller than the diameter of the end 41, the end 41 is firmly restricted to the lower side of the wire fixing frame 2, thus completing the installation and positioning.

[0044] In this embodiment, the insertion hole 122 and the wire passage hole 121 are spaced apart on the first horizontal plate 12. With the limiting effect of the wire placement sliding hole 111, the path of the wire rope 4 during installation is more tortuous. This also means that the wire rope 4 is more difficult to slide off in the opposite direction, further reducing the risk of slippage caused by accidental pulling or loosening.

[0045] In one embodiment, the extension path of the wire-laying sliding hole 111 is U-shaped, with its two ends connected to the insertion hole 122 and the wire-passing hole 121, respectively.

[0046] The wire guide hole 111 has a U-shaped curved structure, consisting of three parts: a vertical inlet section, a horizontal turning section, and a vertical outlet section. The inlet and outlet sections extend in straight lines and are connected by a smooth arc or horizontal straight turning section, forming a downward-curving closed path. The inlet section is connected to the through hole 122 on the first horizontal plate 12, and the outlet section is connected to the wire through hole 121 on the first horizontal plate 12.

[0047] In this embodiment, the U-shaped path, with its 180° arc turn, increases the constraint length and release resistance of the wire rope 4. Reverse release of the wire rope 4 requires traversing multiple curved paths, significantly increasing friction and turning resistance. Even under extreme conditions of strong external pulling or unilateral slack, the wire rope 4 remains stably constrained, preventing accidental separation. The rope end 41 is doubly restricted by the U-shaped turn and dimensional difference, physically eliminating the risk of slippage and ensuring the long-term stability of the clothes drying rack. Furthermore, the wire rope 4 slides naturally along the arc path, eliminating the need for precise manual alignment of the wire hole 121 and reducing jamming caused by operational deviations. The smooth transition of the arc turn avoids wear on the wire rope 4 that may result from right-angle bends, extending its service life.

[0048] One embodiment, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 6 The cable holder 2 is provided with a clearance groove 22 corresponding to the insertion hole 122 on the side facing the vertical plate 11, and the rope end 41 can move to the lower side of the cable holder 2 through the insertion hole 122 and the clearance groove 22.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cable holder 2 extends towards the vertical plate 11 to the area where the insertion hole 122 of the first horizontal plate 12 is located, forming a partial or complete coverage of the insertion hole 122 (i.e., the projected area of ​​the cable holder 2 includes the insertion hole 122). This means that the contact or corresponding area between the cable holder 2 and the fixing frame 1 is expanded, enhancing the overall structural stability. Simultaneously, a clearance groove 22 is provided on the cable holder 2 at the position corresponding to the insertion hole 122. The clearance groove 22 forms a channel gap through a local recess, allowing the rope end 41 to pass through the insertion hole 122 and continue through the clearance groove 22 into the lower side of the cable holder 2. This retains the structural advantages of the large-size cable holder 2 without hindering the installation process. After installation, the rope end 41 is confined to the lower side of the cable holder 2, and the clearance groove 22 does not interfere with the main body of the wire rope 4, thus not affecting normal stress.

[0050] In one embodiment, the end of the wire placement sliding hole 111 away from the wire passage hole 121 passes through one side wall of the wire fixing frame 2, so that the wire rope 4 can be laterally inserted into the wire placement sliding hole 111.

[0051] The wire guide hole 111 is opened on the vertical plate 11 of the fixing frame 1. One end of it is still connected to the wire through hole 121 of the first horizontal plate 12 (maintaining the guiding function of the wire rope 4 to the wire clamping groove 21), and the other end directly penetrates one side wall of the vertical plate 11 (i.e. the edge side of the first horizontal plate 12 or the vertical plate 11), forming a lateral opening. The width of the opening is smaller than the diameter of the rope head 41 at the end of the wire rope 4, but larger than the diameter of the main body of the wire rope 4, ensuring that the wire rope 4 can slide into the sliding hole laterally, while the rope head 41 cannot come out through the opening.

[0052] Compared to the solution that requires setting an insertion hole 122, this embodiment achieves the installation function by using a single-sided through-hole 111 for the wire placement, which reduces the number of openings on the fixing frame 1 and lowers the complexity of mold design and processing difficulty.

[0053] One embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 4 The adjusting member 3 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 1. The adjusting member 3 is provided with a threaded rod 31, and the wire fixing frame 2 is provided with a corresponding threaded hole 23. The installation height of the wire fixing frame 2 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting member 3.

[0054] The adjusting component 3 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 1. For example, the adjusting component 3 can be rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 1 (such as the first horizontal plate 12 or vertical plate 11) through bearings, bushings, or reserved holes. When rotating, its axial position is fixed (it only rotates around the axis and does not produce vertical displacement). A threaded hole 23 is provided on the wire fixing frame 2 at the position corresponding to the threaded rod 31 of the adjusting component 3. The internal thread of the threaded hole 23 matches the external thread of the threaded rod 31 to form a threaded pair connection. When the adjusting component 3 rotates, the threaded rod 31 drives the wire fixing frame 2 to move axially (vertically) through thread engagement, thereby realizing the adjustment of the installation height.

[0055] In this embodiment, the use of threaded transmission enables height adjustments at the millimeter or even micrometer level. Compared to graded adjustment methods such as snap-fit ​​or pin-hole types, it can more accurately compensate for minute length deviations in the wire rope 4, ensuring the clothes rack is perfectly level, and the adjustment process is simple to operate. The threaded rod 31, threaded hole 23, and other structures can be achieved through conventional machining, requiring no complex processes and suitable for mass production.

[0056] In one embodiment, the fixing frame 1 further includes a second horizontal plate 13 vertically connected to the bottom side of the vertical plate 11, and the adjusting member 3 is rotatably mounted on the second horizontal plate 13.

[0057] The second horizontal plate 13 is vertically connected to the bottom side of the vertical plate 11, parallel and spaced apart from the first horizontal plate 12, so that the fixing frame 1 as a whole forms a "C"-shaped frame structure. The vertical plate 11, the first horizontal plate 12, and the second horizontal plate 13 are vertically connected to jointly form a more rigid bearing matrix. The adjusting member 3 is rotatably mounted on the second horizontal plate 13, and its axis is parallel to the vertical plate 11 (in the vertical direction). The threaded hole 23 on the wire fixing frame 2 corresponds to and meshes with the threaded rod 31 of the adjusting member 3. When the adjusting member 3 rotates, the wire fixing frame 2 moves up and down in the vertical direction between the first horizontal plate 12 and the second horizontal plate 13. At the same time, the wire passing hole 121 of the first horizontal plate 12, the wire placing sliding hole 111 of the vertical plate 11, and the wire clamping groove 21 of the wire fixing frame 2 still maintain a corresponding relationship, ensuring that the path of the steel wire rope 4 is not affected.

[0058] In the solution of this embodiment, the "C"-shaped frame structure is more stable than a single horizontal plate. The vertical plate 11 is not easily bent under the restraint of the upper and lower horizontal plates. Especially when the clothes hanger bears heavy objects, the fixing frame 1 can evenly transmit the load, reducing the height adjustment error caused by structural deformation. The second horizontal plate 13 provides a stable installation base for the adjusting member 3, enabling the adjusting member 3 to vertically pass through the upper wire fixing frame 2 to meet the requirement of adjusting the installation height of the wire fixing frame 2. In addition, the second horizontal plate 13 increases the connection points between the fixing frame 1 and the clothes hanger (for example, it can be fixed to the clothes hanger through screws, etc.), making the connection between the entire suspension assembly and the clothes hanger more firm, and avoiding loosening or shaking after long-term use.

[0059] In one embodiment, the second horizontal plate 13 is provided with a light hole 131 allowing the threaded rod 31 to pass through. The adjusting member 3 includes a nut 32 connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod 31. The threaded rod 31 passes upward through the light hole 131, and the nut 32 abuts against the lower surface of the second horizontal plate 13. A limit retaining ring 33 for clamping the threaded rod 31 is installed on the upper surface of the second horizontal plate 13, thereby restricting the axial movement of the adjusting member 3.

[0060] During assembly, the threaded rod 31 passes through the light hole 131 of the second horizontal plate 13 from bottom to top, and its top end meshes with the threaded hole 23 of the wire fixing frame 2. The diameter of the nut 32 at the bottom end is larger than the diameter of the light hole 131 and naturally abuts against the lower surface of the second horizontal plate 13, forming downward axial limitation. A limit retaining ring 33 (such as an elastic retaining ring) is installed on the upper surface of the second horizontal plate 13, and the retaining ring is embedded in a preset annular groove of the threaded rod 31, forming upward axial limitation. The nut 32 and the limit retaining ring 33 clamp the adjusting member 3 (the threaded rod 31) from the lower and upper sides of the second horizontal plate 13 respectively, completely fixing the axial position of the adjusting member 3 (the threaded rod 31), and only retaining the rotational freedom around its own axis, ensuring that the threaded rod 31 does not move up and down during adjustment.

[0061] The dual constraint of nut 32 and retaining ring 33 completely solves the problem of vertical displacement that may occur during the rotation of adjusting part 3, ensuring that the threaded engagement between threaded rod 31 and wire frame 2 remains stable. The combination of smooth hole 131, nut 32 and standard retaining ring does not require high-precision fitting or special processes. Compared with complex connecting parts such as bearings and bushings, it significantly reduces processing and assembly costs. The assembly process only requires two steps: "threading the rod → inserting the retaining ring", which is suitable for mass production. Moreover, the elastic characteristics of the retaining ring allow for a certain amount of assembly error, improving production efficiency.

[0062] In one embodiment, a positioning hole 123 is provided on the first horizontal plate 12, and the upper end of the threaded rod 31 extends into the positioning hole 123. The first horizontal plate 12 is used to limit the swaying of the upper end of the threaded rod 31, improve the stability of the adjusting member 3, and thus enhance the stability of the wire fixing frame 2.

[0063] In one embodiment, the second horizontal plate 13 is also provided with mounting screw holes 132. During installation, mounting bolts 5 are used to pass through the mounting part on the clothes rack and threadedly connect to the mounting screw holes 132 to realize the installation of the suspension component.

[0064] By setting mounting screw holes 132 on the second horizontal plate 13 and fixing them with mounting bolts 5, the reliability of the connection is improved, the installation accuracy is guaranteed, and the structural stability is enhanced. At the same time, the ease of disassembly and assembly and the adaptability to different scenarios are taken into account, providing basic support for the safe operation and functional performance of the suspension components.

[0065] On the other hand, this embodiment also provides a clothes drying rack, including the above-mentioned suspension components.

[0066] Specifically, the clothes rack in this embodiment includes a scissor-type lifting bracket 6 and two parallel drying rods. The upper and lower ends of the lifting bracket 6 are respectively provided with an upper guide rail and a lower guide rail 61. The upper guide rail is installed on the main unit of the clothes drying machine, and the two ends of the lower guide rail 61 are respectively connected to the two drying rods.

[0067] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the suspension assembly is installed in the middle of the lower guide rail 61 of the bracket. The lower guide rail 61 of the bracket is raised and lowered by the extension and retraction of the steel wire rope 4, which in turn drives the clothes drying rods on both sides to rise and fall, thus realizing the purpose of electrically driving the clothes drying rack to rise and fall.

[0068] Based on the suspension components of this embodiment, the clothes rack of this embodiment also has the advantages of easy adjustment of the height of both sides of the clothes rack and good stability of the suspension structure.
