Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a clothes drying rack, and more particularly to an X-shaped clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Clothes racks are common household items, widely used, and come in many varieties. Among them, X-shaped clothes racks are widely used due to their ease of folding and storage. For example, patent application number 202323093374.6 discloses a folding X-shaped clothes rack, which opens through X-shaped frames on both sides for convenient drying of clothes. It is easy to open and fold for storage. However, when folding and opening this type of clothes rack, the operator directly applies force to the clothesline or X-shaped frames. Since the entire frame is mostly made of stainless steel, it is prone to scratches and is difficult to grip and pull open, making operation inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an X-shaped clothes rack that can solve at least one of the above problems.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, an X-shaped clothes rack is provided, including a support frame, a clothes drying rod, a connecting rod, and a handle. There are two support frames, and the two ends of the clothes drying rod are provided on the support frames on both sides. The support frames are X-shaped, and the top of the support frame is rotatably connected to the clothes drying rod. A connecting rod is provided at the connection between each support frame and the clothes drying rod. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the clothes drying rod, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support frame. The handle is provided on the outside of the connecting rod.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By providing a connecting rod and a handle, when the clothes drying rack needs to be opened for use, the operator applies force to the handle, pulling it outwards. This, through the connecting rod, acts on the support frame and the clothes drying rack, causing the support frame to open and support the clothes drying rack. When the entire clothes drying rack needs to be folded for storage, the operator pushes the handle inwards, thus acting on the support frame through the connecting rod, facilitating the folding and storage of the support frame. Furthermore, the handle provides a convenient grip for the operator, and at the same time, the operator does not need to directly hold the support frame or the clothes drying rack, effectively preventing hand injuries and providing protection.

[0006] In some embodiments, the connecting rod includes a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and a first connecting shaft. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are connected by the first connecting shaft. The second connecting shaft is located below the clothes drying rod, and a third connecting shaft is located on the support frame. One end of the first connecting rod is sleeved on the second connecting shaft, and the other end is sleeved on the first connecting shaft. One end of the second connecting rod is sleeved on the third connecting shaft. Thus, the various structures of the connecting rod facilitate the rotation of the first and second connecting rods, thereby facilitating the opening and folding of the support frame.

[0007] In some embodiments, both ends of the handle are fixed to the second connecting rod, and the first connecting rod has an opening slot. One end of the handle passes through the opening slot and connects to the second connecting rod. Thus, by providing the opening slot, the normal rotation of the first connecting rod is facilitated, and the handle can be avoided.

[0008] In some embodiments, the X-shaped clothes rack also includes support feet, with each support frame having a support foot at its bottom, and the support feet being rotatably connected to the support frame. Therefore, by providing support feet, the contact area between the entire clothes rack and the ground can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the clothes rack during use.

[0009] In some embodiments, the support leg includes an inclined frame and a horizontal frame, with one end of the inclined frame connected to the support frame and the horizontal frame fitted over the other end of the inclined frame. Thus, by providing the horizontal frame, it can act on the ground; by providing the inclined frame, the supporting effect on the support frame can be strengthened.

[0010] In some embodiments, the X-shaped clothes rack also includes a limiting sleeve, which is fitted onto the support frame and onto the outer side of the upper part of the tilting frame. Thus, by providing the limiting sleeve, when the support legs are in use, they can be fitted onto the upper part of the tilting frame to prevent the support legs from continuing to rotate, ensuring the supporting effect of the support legs.

[0011] In some embodiments, the X-shaped clothes rack also includes a fixing frame with a U-shaped groove. The fixing frame is fixed to the support frame, and the horizontal frame is correspondingly arranged with the U-shaped groove. Thus, by providing the fixing frame, the horizontal frame can be clamped by the U-shaped groove, facilitating the folding and storage of the support frame.

[0012] In some implementations, telescopic rods are provided at both ends of the clothesline, and these telescopic rods are fitted inside the clothesline. Therefore, by including the telescopic rods, the overall length of the clothesline can be increased to meet the corresponding requirements for drying clothes. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an X-shaped clothes rack of this utility model when it is in the open state.

[0014] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of an X-shaped clothes rack of this utility model in its folded and stored state. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Reference Figures 1-2The X-shaped clothes drying rack includes a support frame 1, a clothes drying rod 2, a connecting rod 3, and a handle 4. There are two support frames 1, with both ends of the clothes drying rod 2 mounted on the support frames 1 on either side. The support frames 1 are X-shaped, and their top ends are rotatably connected to the clothes drying rod 2. A connecting rod 3 is provided at the connection point between each support frame 1 and the clothes drying rod 2. One end of the connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected to the clothes drying rod 2, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support frame 1. The handle 4 is located on the outside of the connecting rod 3. The support frame 1, when opened, forms an X-shape, which facilitates support for the clothes drying rod 2 and maintains the stability of the entire clothes drying rack. The opening and closing mechanism of the support frame 1 itself is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0017] In actual use, connectors 21 are welded downwards at both ends of the clothesline 2. The top of the support frame 1 is connected to the connectors 21 via a fourth connecting shaft 10, with both ends of the fourth connecting shaft 10 fitted onto the connectors. The fourth connecting shaft 10 facilitates the rotation of the support frame 1 relative to the clothesline 2. When the clothesline 2 needs to be used, the support frame 1 is opened downwards, allowing the support frame 1 to support the clothesline 2.

[0018] With the connecting rod 3 and handle 4, when the clothes drying rod 2 needs to be used, the operator pulls the handle 4 outward to open the support frame 1; when the entire clothes drying rack needs to be folded and stored, the handle 4 is applied to bring the two clothes drying rods 2 at the top of the support frame 1 closer to each other, making operation convenient.

[0019] The connecting rod 3 includes a first connecting rod 31, a second connecting rod 32, and a first connecting shaft 33. The first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are connected by the first connecting shaft 33. The clothes drying rod 2 is provided with a second connecting shaft 5 below it, and the support frame 1 is provided with a third connecting shaft 6. One end of the first connecting rod 31 is sleeved on the second connecting shaft 5, and the other end is sleeved on the first connecting shaft 33. One end of the second connecting rod 32 is sleeved on the third connecting shaft 6.

[0020] The first connecting shaft 33 facilitates the relative rotation of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32; the second connecting shaft 5 facilitates the rotation of the first connecting rod 31 relative to the clothes drying rod 2; and the third connecting shaft 6 facilitates the rotation of the second connecting rod 32 relative to the support frame 1.

[0021] When the support frame 1 needs to be folded for storage, it folds up and rotates around the fourth connecting shaft 10 toward the clothesline 2. At this time, the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 rotate, allowing the support frame 1 to rotate normally for storage. When the support frame 1 needs to be opened for use, it rotates away from the clothesline 2. The first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 rotate until they are on the same straight line. At this time, the connecting rod 3 keeps the support frame 1 and the clothesline 2 in the open state.

[0022] Both ends of the handle 4 are welded and fixed to the second connecting rod 32. The first connecting rod 31 has an opening slot 311. One end of the handle 4 passes through the opening slot 311 and connects to the second connecting rod 32. By providing the opening slot 311, when the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 rotate, the opening slot 311 forms a clearance position, providing space for one end of the handle 4 and ensuring the normal rotation of the two connecting rods.

[0023] The X-shaped clothes rack of this utility model also includes support legs 6. Each support frame 1 has a support leg 6 at its bottom, and the support leg 6 is rotatably connected to the support frame 1. The support leg 6 is a stainless steel strip bracket structure, with through holes on both sides of the support frame 1. The top of the support leg 6 is inserted into the corresponding through hole to facilitate the rotation of the support leg 6.

[0024] The support leg 6 includes an inclined frame 61 and a horizontal frame 62. One end of the inclined frame 61 is connected to the support frame 1, and the horizontal frame 62 is sleeved on the other end of the inclined frame 61.

[0025] The X-type clothes rack also includes a limiting sleeve 7, which is fitted onto the support frame 1 and onto the outer side of the upper part of the tilting frame 61.

[0026] When the support frame 2 is in use, the support legs 6 open downwards, the horizontal frame 62 is horizontally supported on the ground, and the tilting frame 61 can increase the support strength of the entire support legs 6. After the support legs 6 are opened to the correct position, the limiting sleeve 7 is fitted downwards onto the tilting frame 61, so that the limiting sleeve 7 presses and fixes the upper part of the tilting frame 61, preventing the tilting frame 61 from rotating and fixing the tilting frame 61.

[0027] When the support leg 6 needs to be retracted, push the limiting sleeve 7 upward to release the limitation sleeve 7 on the support leg 6; then, the tilting frame 61 can be rotated to retract the support leg 6.

[0028] The X-type clothes rack also includes a fixing frame 8, which has a U-shaped groove 81. The fixing frame 8 is fixed to the support frame 1 by screws. The horizontal frame 62 is correspondingly set with the U-shaped groove 81. That is, when the support leg 6 is stored, the support leg 6 is flipped upward, so that the horizontal frame 62 is locked in the U-shaped groove 81. The horizontal frame 62 can be locked by the side wall of the U-shaped groove 81, thereby fixing and storing the entire support leg 6, which is convenient for storage.

[0029] The clothes drying rod 2 has telescopic rods 9 at both ends, which are fitted inside the clothes drying rod 2. When more clothes need to be dried on the clothes drying rod 2, the telescopic rods 9 at both ends can be extended outward to increase the length of the entire clothes drying rod and meet different usage requirements.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
