Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household products technology, specifically to a clothes drying rack. Background Technology
[0002] Clothes racks, as everyday household items, have become necessities for many families. Most existing clothes racks are fixed to the roof or balcony, raised and lowered by hand or electric means. However, these racks can obstruct the space beneath the rack and detract from the balcony's aesthetics. Therefore, folding clothes racks fixed to one wall are increasingly popular. To facilitate folding, the drying rods are generally short. For example, a folding clothes rod disclosed in patent publication number CN214613175U can be folded simply by pulling it out. Pulling the rod outwards moves it to the second side wall where it contacts the hinge, releasing the limiting element and rotating downwards until it folds up against the base. However, this type of rack is relatively short and cannot handle large items of clothing. Another type of clothes rack has a telescopic drying rod, which can be adjusted in length as needed. However, the diameter of the far end of the drying rod gradually decreases, resulting in insufficient support. Consequently, the end of the drying rod furthest from the wall will bend and tilt downwards under the pressure of the clothes being dried, making it easy for the clothes to slip off. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a clothes drying rack with a simple structure, easy to fold and store, and convenient for drying clothes or large items.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0028] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a clothes drying rack includes at least one base 1, which is fixed to a wall, and the back of the base 1 is a mounting surface 11 connected to the wall. A first clothes drying rod 2 is rotatably mounted on the underside of the base 1. When not in use, the first clothes drying rod 2 is rotated from a position perpendicular to the mounting surface to a position parallel to the mounting surface, thereby folding and storing the first clothes drying rod 2 to reduce the space occupied. When clothes need to be dried, the first clothes drying rod 2 is rotated from a position parallel to the mounting surface to a position perpendicular to the mounting surface, and the first clothes drying rod 2 is opened, allowing clothes to be hung on the first clothes drying rod 2. A fixing structure is provided on the side of the first clothesline 2 away from the base 1. A second clothesline 3 is detachably connected to the fixing structure. The axis of the second clothesline 3 is perpendicular to the axis of the first clothesline 2. This allows the second clothesline 3 to be fixed to the first clothesline 2 when there are many clothes to be dried or the items to be dried are large. The first clothesline 2 maintains a gap between the second clothesline 3 and the wall. The second clothesline 3 can be of any desired length, allowing any number of clothes to be hung within the load-bearing capacity of the base 1. Large items such as bed sheets can also be directly draped over the second clothesline 3 for drying. Furthermore, the middle of the second clothesline 3 is fixed to the first clothesline 2, ensuring that the weight of the clothes hanging on both sides of the second clothesline 3 is approximately the same. This helps maintain the balance of the second clothesline and makes the force on the base 1 more even.
[0029] The base 1 is provided with a U-shaped protective plate 4. The first clothes drying rod 2 includes a cover plate 5. A U-shaped hanging plate 6 is provided on the cover plate 5. When the first clothes drying rod 2 is parallel to the mounting surface, the hanging plate 6 is inserted into the inner side of the protective plate 4 and the hanging plate 6 contacts the inner wall of the protective plate 4. In this way, the first clothes drying rod 2 is fixed inside the protective plate 4, and the folding and storage of the first clothes drying rod 2 is completed.
[0030] A hinge seat 7 is provided at the opening near the guard plate 4 on the base 1. The first clothes drying rod 2 is rotatably mounted on the hinge seat 7. When the first clothes drying rod 2 is perpendicular to the mounting surface, the cover plate 5 rotates upward and the inner side of the cover plate 5 contacts the lower side 71 of the hinge seat 7. At this time, the hinge seat 7 restricts the cover plate 5 from continuing to rotate upward, thereby limiting the first clothes drying rod 2. At this time, the first clothes drying rod 2 is opened, and the clothes to be dried can be hung on the hanging plate 6 of the first clothes drying rod.
[0031] Furthermore, the two sides of the opening of the hanging plate 6 are respectively sandwiched between the protective plate 4 and the hinge seat 7, and the hinge seat 7 is provided with a through hinge hole 8. The protective plate 4 is provided with a shaft hole 9 on the side near the opening of the protective plate, and the hanging plate 6 is provided with a shaft hole 9 on the side near the opening of the hanging plate 6. The hinge shaft 10 passes through and is fixed in the shaft hole 9 and the hinge hole 8. At this time, the first clothes drying rod 2 rotates on the base 1 with the hinge shaft 10 as the axis. The end of the hinge seat 7 away from the base 1 is arc-shaped, so that the cover plate 5 will not interfere with the hinge seat 7 during the rotation of the first clothes drying rod 2. Furthermore, the first clothes drying rod 2 is provided with a number of grooves 13 for hanging clothes. The grooves 13 are arranged along the length of the first clothes drying rod 2. Preferably, the grooves 13 are set on the hanging plate 6, so that the hung clothes are stuck in the grooves 13 and will not slide freely, ensuring that there is a breathable gap between the clothes.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the system includes a base 1, with a fixing structure consisting of a through hole (not shown in the attached diagram) on the first clothesline 2. The middle part of the second clothesline 3 is inserted and fixed within the through hole, allowing clothes of roughly equal weight to be hung on both sides of the second clothesline 3. Furthermore, the through hole is located on the hanging plate 6, so that both sides of the U-shaped guard plate 6 have through holes, allowing the second clothesline 3 to be more stably fixed to the first clothesline 2 by passing through the through holes in sequence.
[0033] In another embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the device includes two sets of bases 1, spaced apart on the exterior wall. The two ends of the second clothesline 3 are fixed to the fixing structures of the two first clothesline 2. The fixing structure is a slot 12 on the first clothesline 2, with the slot 12 opening upwards and its inner diameter matching the outer diameter of the second clothesline 3. Preferably, the slot 12 is located on a hanging plate 6; alternatively, the fixing structure is a through hole (not shown in the attached diagram) on the first clothesline 2, with both sides of the second clothesline 3 passing through and fixed within the through hole. In use, the second clothesline 3 is picked up and placed into the slot 12 of the first clothesline 2 for installation; or the ends of the second clothesline 3 are sequentially passed through the through holes on the two first clothesline 2, fixing both sides of the second clothesline 3 within the through holes, thus completing the installation. When not in use, the second clothesline 3 can be easily removed and stored vertically in a corner, requiring minimal space.
[0034] In one embodiment, a reinforcing rib 14 is provided on the inner side of the cover plate 6 along the length direction of the cover plate 6.
[0035] In one embodiment, the hanging plate 6 is circumferentially disposed on the inner side of the cover plate 5 along the edge of the cover plate 5, and a limiting edge 14 is formed between the edge of the cover plate 5 and the scraper 6. When the first clothes drying rod 2 is folded, the limiting edge 14 covers the edge of the protective plate 4, making the clothes drying rack look beautiful and elegant, while preventing the cover plate 5 from being excessively inserted into the protective plate 4. Furthermore, when the first clothes drying rod 2 is folded up, the upper end of the cover plate 6 protrudes upward from the protective plate 4 to form a lever 16. Gently pressing the lever 16 outward can open the first clothes drying rod 2.
[0036] In one embodiment, the base 1 is fixed to the external wall by a plurality of suction cups 17, preferably three suction cups along the length of the base 1. A locking hole 18 is provided on the base 1, and a connecting part 19 is provided on the suction cup 17. The connecting part 19 passes through and engages within the locking hole 18. Then, pressing the suction cup 17 adsorbs and fixes the base to the wall. Further, the suction cup 17 includes a frame, on which an elastic disc body is covered. The connecting part 19 is integrally formed with the frame and extends through the elastic disc body. The connecting part 19 is a hollow rectangular protrusion, with a locking edge 20 opposite to it. When the rectangular protrusion is aligned with the locking hole 18 and the base is pressed down, the locking edge 20 is compressed and contracts the edge of the rectangular protrusion. After the locking edge 20 passes through the locking hole 18, the edge of the rectangular protrusion deforms, causing the locking edge 20 to move to both sides, thereby engaging with the edge of the locking hole 18. Furthermore, a support edge 21 is provided around the mounting surface 11 of the base 1. The support edge 21 protects the suction cup 17 from impacts from external objects and also supports the base 1 to be more stably fixed to the wall. Furthermore, transverse and longitudinal protrusions 22 are provided on the inner side of the mounting surface 11 of the base to enhance the strength of the base 1.
[0037] In the above technical solution, the base 1's locking hole 18 is engaged with the suction cup's connecting part 19, and then the suction cup 17 is pressed to adhere to the wall, completing the installation of the clothes rack. In use, the lever 16 is moved to open the first clothes drying rod 2 so that it is perpendicular to the wall, allowing clothes to be hung on it for drying. Alternatively, the second clothes drying rod 3 can be fixed to the locking slot 12, meeting the user's needs for drying large quantities of clothing or large items such as bed sheets, while providing stable support and preventing clothes from slipping.
[0038] The embodiments are merely illustrative of the concept and implementation of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Under the concept of this utility model, the technical solutions without substantial changes are still within the scope of protection.
