Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothes drying rack technology, and more particularly to a modular fixing structure and a clothes drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] A clothes drying rack is a device used for drying clothes. It is typically installed on a balcony or outdoors and uses a lifting or retractable function to allow users to conveniently hang clothes on it for drying. When not in use, the drying rack can be retracted for storage. Different types of clothes drying racks may also include various auxiliary functions, such as shaking, lighting, disinfection, air drying, tumble drying, or voice control. Users can choose a drying rack with the appropriate functions based on their habits, thus meeting their needs for auxiliary drying and lighting during the drying process.

[0003] During washing, especially after being agitated in a washing machine or hand-washed, clothes tend to tangle and become compressed, easily forming wrinkles. Therefore, before hanging clothes on a clothes dryer, they are usually manually swirled to rearrange the fibers. This breaks down the inter-fiber forces, allowing the fibers to stretch more freely, reducing wrinkles and resulting in smoother clothes after drying. For highly insulating garments, such as down jackets and wool sweaters, swishing increases the gaps between fibers, filling them with air and making the garment fluffier, thus improving its warmth. To meet this need, some clothes dryers are equipped with a shaking module that drives the drying rod to vibrate, achieving the desired swishing effect.

[0004] However, in existing technologies, functional modules such as the vibration module are generally integrated inside the main body of the clothes drying rack. The vibration state is transmitted to the drying rod through the cantilever of the lifting module, causing the drying rod to shake and thus swing the clothes hanging on it. Alternatively, the vibration module and other functional modules are integrated into the drying rod, and the vibration generated when the vibration module is activated drives the drying rod to shake, thereby swinging the clothes hanging on it. However, both of these assembly methods involve an integrated design of the vibration module, making the assembly and disassembly processes relatively cumbersome. This makes it difficult to improve the overall assembly and disassembly efficiency, hinders maintenance and inspection when the functional module malfunctions, and also reduces overall assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a modular fixing structure and a clothes drying rack to solve the problem in the prior art where the assembly and disassembly process of integrating functional modules into the clothes drying rack is cumbersome and cannot effectively improve the overall assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a module fixing structure, including: a fixing frame, a pull rod, and a handle, wherein the fixing frame is provided with an opening, the pull rod passes through both sides of the opening, and the handle is hinged to one end of the pull rod;

[0007] A mounting bracket is installed on the clothes drying rack.

[0008] The pull rod has one end for tightening and loosening the opening of the fixing bracket, and the other end is equipped with a hinge ring;

[0009] The handle is hinged at one end to the hinge ring of the pull rod;

[0010] Turning the handle causes the opening of the fixing frame to close, thereby fixing the fixing frame clamping module to the outside of the clothes drying rack through the fixing frame clamping function module.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the handle that is hinged to the hinge ring of the pull rod is configured as a cam structure. Rotating the handle causes the side of the cam structure with the longer distance from the hinge axis to face the pull rod direction, thereby closing the opening of the fixing frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the cam structure is an eccentric wheel structure or an elliptical wheel structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the opening of the fixing frame is provided with connecting plates on both sides, and the connecting plates are provided with connecting holes. The pull rod passes through the connecting holes on both sides of the connecting plates in sequence and is hinged to the handle.

[0014] Furthermore, an adjustment block is provided on the connecting plate on the side away from the handle. The adjustment block is provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the connecting hole, and the pull rod is provided with a threaded section corresponding to the threaded hole. The threaded section and the threaded hole are connected by threads.

[0015] Furthermore, the threaded section of the pull rod extends out from the threaded hole, and a nut is fitted onto the threaded section, with the nut and the threaded section connected by threads.

[0016] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is wrapped around the outside of the functional module.

[0017] Furthermore, the functional module is one or more of the following: a shaking module, a lighting module, a disinfection module, a drying module, and a voice control module.

[0018] Secondly, this application provides a clothes drying rack, including the module fixing structure as described above, and also including a drying rod, with the fixing frame wrapped around the outside of the drying rod.

[0019] Furthermore, the drying rack is connected to a lifting module.

[0020] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0021] In the embodiments of this application, by rotating the handle, the handle rotates around the axis of the pull rod hinge ring, thereby causing the side of the handle that is farther from the hinge axis on the cam structure at the hinge to face the pull rod. In this state, the cam structure presses against one side of the opening of the fixing frame and generates a pulling force on the pull rod, thereby generating an inward pushing force on both sides of the opening of the fixing frame, thus clamping and fixing the drying rod with the fixing frame, achieving the effect of fixing the relative position between the fixing frame and the drying rod, satisfying the positioning setting of the functional module, and effectively improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the functional module.

[0022] By incorporating adjustment blocks, the mounting bracket can be adapted to different functional modules or the shape and size of the drying rack, improving assembly compatibility. Simultaneously, it ensures the appropriate pressure exerted by the handle's cam structure to clamp and secure the mounting bracket.

[0023] The functional modules include one or more of the following: vibration module, lighting module, disinfection module, air drying module, and voice control module, to meet users' needs for different auxiliary functions. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To address the problem that existing technologies integrating functional modules into clothes drying racks involve cumbersome assembly and disassembly processes that fail to effectively improve overall assembly and disassembly efficiency, this application provides a modular fixing structure and a clothes drying rack that eliminates the need for screw fixing or integrating functional modules into the drying rack. The modules can be quickly tightened or loosened by turning a handle, thus meeting the need for rapid assembly, fixing, and disassembly of functional modules.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,as well as Figure 3 In one aspect, this application provides a module fixing structure, including: a fixing frame 1, a pull rod 2, and a handle 3. The fixing frame 1 is provided with an opening, the pull rod 2 passes through both sides of the opening, and the handle 3 is hinged to one end of the pull rod 2.

[0038] A fixing frame 1 is installed on the clothes drying rod 5 of the clothes drying machine;

[0039] The pull rod 2 has one end for tightening and loosening the opening of the fixing bracket 1, and the other end is provided with a hinge ring 21;

[0040] The handle 3 is hinged at one end to the hinge ring 21 of the pull rod 2;

[0041] Rotating the handle 3 causes the opening of the fixing frame 1 to close, thereby fixing the clamping function module 4 to the outside of the clothes drying rod 5 of the clothes drying machine through the fixing frame 1.

[0042] In the embodiments provided in this application, a shaking module is used as functional module 4. The vibration generated when the shaking module is activated causes the clothes drying rod 5 to shake, allowing the clothing fibers hanging on the drying rod 5 to stretch relatively freely, thereby reducing wrinkles and making the clothes appear smoother after drying. When installing and fixing the shaking module, it can first be fixedly mounted on the fixing frame 1 to establish a connection between the fixing frame 1 and the shaking module. Then, the fixing frame 1 is fitted onto the clothes drying rod 5, and the relative position between the fixing frame 1 and the drying rod 5 is adjusted so that the shaking module is in the set installation position. At this time, the fixing frame 1 is in a relaxed state, facilitating position adjustment along the drying rod 5. After adjusting the positions of the fixing frame 1 and the functional module 4, turn the handle 3 to tighten the opening of the fixing frame 1, thereby clamping the fixing frame 1 onto the functional module 4, i.e. the shaking module, so that the shaking module is fixed on the outside of the drying rod 5, thus fixing the relative position between the fixing frame 1 and the drying rod 5 and satisfying the positioning setting of the shaking module.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the functional module 4 is one or more of the following: a shaking module, a lighting module, a disinfection module, a drying module, and a voice control module. During the use of the clothes drying rack, different functional modules 4 can be used according to different user needs. Specifically:

[0044] The shaking module vibrates upon startup, causing the drying rod 5 of the clothes dryer to swing rhythmically, thus shaking the clothes hanging on the rod 5. During washing, especially after being agitated in a washing machine or hand-washed, clothes and their fibers tend to squeeze and entangle, easily forming wrinkles. Therefore, after hanging clothes on the drying rod 5, the vibration generated by the shaking module causes the clothes to shake, rearranging the fibers and breaking down the inter-fiber forces. This allows the fibers to stretch more freely, reducing wrinkles and resulting in smoother clothes after drying. For garments requiring high warmth, such as down jackets and wool sweaters, the shaking increases the gaps between the fibers, filling them with air and making the garment more fluffy, thus improving its warmth retention.

[0045] The lighting module emits light when activated, providing illumination to the area it reaches. Clothes drying racks are typically installed on the ceiling of a balcony or hung near the top of a wall, where lighting fixtures are usually positioned high. Therefore, in poor lighting conditions or at night, the light emitted by the drying rack can be blocked, creating shadows below and making it difficult for users to hang clothes on the drying rod 5. Therefore, by using a lighting module as functional module 4, the area below the drying rod 5 is illuminated, allowing users to hang clothes or remove dried clothes from the drying rack in well-lit conditions.

[0046] In some embodiments, the disinfection module uses an ultraviolet (UV) module or a positive / negative ion generator. Since clothing comes into contact with the human body when worn, bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens attached to the clothing can easily enter the body through the respiratory tract, mouth, and skin, leading to the spread of disease and affecting human health. Washing clothes in a washing machine or by hand cannot kill the bacteria and viruses attached to the clothing, and the washing process can also spread bacteria and viruses to other clothes. If disinfection is not carried out in time, it can have a significant impact on human health. Furthermore, the dampness of washed clothes is conducive to the growth of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. When using an UV module as the disinfection module, ultraviolet light is irradiated onto the area below the drying rack 5 upon startup, thereby damaging the DNA or RNA of bacteria and viruses, rendering them unable to reproduce and self-replicate, thus achieving sterilization and disinfection. However, if used improperly, ultraviolet light can cause serious damage to human skin and eyes. Therefore, in some embodiments, a positive and negative ion generator is used as a disinfection module. Upon startup, it generates free positive and negative ions, which are then dispersed into the air. These dispersed ions adhere to pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. When pathogens carrying ions with different charges meet, charge neutralization occurs, releasing a large amount of energy instantaneously. This energy is sufficient to destroy the cell walls and membranes of bacteria or the protein coats of viruses, rendering them inactive and thus achieving disinfection. For the human body, the energy generated during charge neutralization is relatively small and will not cause discomfort. Therefore, even if a person is in a disinfection environment, they will not experience any discomfort or harm.

[0047] The air-drying module, upon startup, blows airflow toward the clothes hanging on the drying rod 5. After washing clothes, although they are usually spun dry or wrung out, a significant amount of moisture remains. Normally, clothes are hung on the drying rod 5 of a clothes dryer, where the moisture drips off due to gravity, or evaporates under conditions such as ventilation or sunlight, thus achieving drying. However, relying solely on natural conditions for drying clothes is slow, and it is difficult to dry clothes naturally in rainy weather. In the embodiment provided in this application, the air-drying module continuously blows airflow toward the clothes, constantly blowing away saturated water vapor around the clothes and replacing it with dry air, thereby accelerating the diffusion of moisture from the surface of the clothes into the air and improving the evaporation efficiency of the moisture on the clothes.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a drying module is formed by setting a heating module on the air outlet channel of the air-drying module, thereby heating the airflow while blowing it, and increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules in the clothing by the temperature of the airflow, thereby accelerating the water evaporation efficiency.

[0049] The voice control module can receive voice information from the user and match the corresponding voice commands according to the preset command library. Then, it can perform corresponding operations according to the voice commands, such as raising and lowering, or starting the function module 4, thereby freeing the user's hands and providing the user with a convenient control method.

[0050] In some optional embodiments, one end of the handle 3, hinged to the hinge ring 21 of the pull rod 2, is configured as a cam structure 31. Rotating the handle 3 causes the side of the cam structure 31 with a longer distance from the hinge axis to face the pull rod 2, thus closing the opening of the fixing frame 1. When adjusting the fixing frame 1, the side of the cam structure 31 of the handle 3 with a shorter distance from the hinge axis faces the pull rod 2, and the fixing frame 1 is in a relaxed state. After adjusting the positions of the fixing frame 1 and the functional module 4, rotating the handle 3 causes it to rotate around the axis of the hinge ring 21 of the pull rod 2, thereby causing the side of the cam structure 31 of the handle 3 with a longer distance from the hinge axis to face the pull rod 2. In this state, the cam structure 31 presses against one side of the opening of the fixing frame 1 and exerts a pulling force on the pull rod 2, thereby generating an inward pushing force on both sides of the opening of the fixing frame 1. This causes the fixing frame 1 to clamp and fix the drying rod 5, achieving the effect of fixing the relative position between the fixing frame 1 and the drying rod 5, and satisfying the positioning setting of the shaking module.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the cam structure 31 is an eccentric wheel structure or an elliptical wheel structure. The eccentric wheel structure has a simple overall structure and is easy to manufacture. By setting a certain eccentricity between the wheel body and the hinged rotation axis, it satisfies the need to switch between tightening and loosening states by rotating the handle 3. The cam surface of the elliptical wheel structure is an elliptical arc surface, which is relatively more difficult to manufacture. However, when the handle 3 is rotated, the relative movement between the elliptical arc surface and the fixed frame 1 is smoother. Furthermore, the change in the relative distance between the rotation axis and the fixed frame 1 is greater in both the loosening and tightening states, effectively meeting the state switching requirements and improving the stability of the state switching.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, connecting plates 11 are provided on both sides of the opening of the fixing frame 1. Connecting holes are provided on the connecting plates 11, and the pull rod 2 passes through the connecting holes on both sides of the connecting plates 11 and is hinged to the handle 3. The connecting plates 11 extend outwards from both sides of the opening of the fixing frame 1 to facilitate the setting of the pull rod 2 and to allow the handle 3 to lock the opening. One end of the pull rod 2 is fixed to one side of the connecting plate 11 and passes through the connecting holes on both sides of the connecting plates 11 before being hinged to the handle 3. In the relaxed state, the elasticity of the fixing frame 1 causes the connecting plates 11 on both sides of the opening to tend to separate, thus opening the opening and preventing the fixing frame 1 from pressing against the drying rod 5, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the fixing frame 1. In the tightened state, the cam structure 31 of the handle 3 presses against the connecting plates 11, causing the connecting plates 11 on both sides to fit together, thereby tightening the opening and pressing the fixing frame 1 against the drying rod 5, thus achieving a tight connection between the fixing frame 1 and the drying rod 5.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, an adjusting block 12 is provided on the connecting plate 11 on the side away from the handle 3. The adjusting block 12 has a threaded hole corresponding to the connecting hole, and the pull rod 2 has a threaded section 22 corresponding to the threaded hole. The threaded section 22 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. By adjusting the length of the threaded section 22 screwed into the adjusting block 12, the relative distance between the hinge position of the pull rod 2 and the handle 3 and the connecting plate 11 can be adjusted. This adjusts the position where the cam structure 31 pushes the connecting plate 11 and locks it, satisfying the adjustment of the tightness and also facilitating the locking connection requirements of different specifications of drying rods 5.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the threaded section 22 of the pull rod 2 extends from the threaded hole, and a nut is fitted onto the threaded section 22, the nut being threadedly connected to the threaded section 22. By tightening the nut onto the threaded section 22 and making the nut fit against the end face of the adjusting block 12, the rotation of the pull rod 2 is restricted, thus fixing the position between the pull rod 2 and the adjusting block 12 and creating a locking effect.

[0055] In some optional embodiments, the fixing frame 1 wraps around the outside of the functional module 4 to fix and limit the functional module 4, thereby improving the assembly effect of the functional module 4. By setting the functional module 4 inside the fixing frame 1, when the handle 3 is rotated to clamp and fix the drying rod 5, the functional module 4 is also clamped at the same time, thereby improving the stability of the assembly state of the functional module 4.

[0056] Please see Figure 2 Secondly, this application provides a clothes drying rack, including the module fixing structure as described above, and also including a drying rod 5, wherein the fixing frame 1 is wrapped around the outside of the drying rod 5.

[0057] When installing and fixing functional module 4, it can first be fixedly mounted on the fixing frame 1 to connect the fixing frame 1 and functional module 4. Then, the fixing frame 1 is placed on the clothes drying rod 5 of the clothes drying rack, and the relative position between the fixing frame 1 and the clothes drying rod 5 is adjusted so that functional module 4 is in the set installation position. When adjusting the fixing frame 1, the side of the cam structure 31 of the handle 3 that is shorter from the hinge axis faces the direction of the pull rod 2, and the fixing frame 1 is in a relaxed state. After completing the position adjustment of the fixing frame 1 and functional module 4, the handle 3 is rotated so that the handle 3 rotates around the axis of the hinge ring 21 of the pull rod 2, thereby making the side of the cam structure 31 of the handle 3 that is longer from the hinge axis face the direction of the pull rod 2. In this state, the cam structure 31 presses against one side of the opening of the fixing frame 1 and generates a pulling force on the pull rod 2, thereby generating an inward pushing force on both sides of the opening of the fixing frame 1, so that the fixing frame 1 clamps and fixes the drying rod 5, achieving the effect of fixing the relative position between the fixing frame 1 and the drying rod 5, and satisfying the positioning setting of the functional module 4.

[0058] In some optional embodiments, the drying rod 5 is connected to a lifting module 51. When hanging washed clothes or taking down dried clothes, since the drying rod 5 is at a high position, it is generally necessary to use a clothesline to place the clothes onto the drying rod 5 for hanging or to take down the clothes. This method requires the user to look up for a long time, which is relatively inconvenient. Moreover, raising the arms upward for a long time can easily lead to muscle fatigue or even strain. Therefore, by connecting the lifting module 51 to the drying rod 5, the output end of the lifting module 51 is connected to the drying rod 5, thereby controlling the up and down movement of the drying rod 5 through the lifting module 51. When it is necessary to hang clothes or take down the clothes from the drying rod 5, the lifting module 51 lowers the drying rod 5 to a suitable height to facilitate the user's hanging or taking down actions. After completing the corresponding work, the lifting mechanism raises the drying rod 5 back to its original position. The lifting module 51 drives the drying rod 5 to move up and down, which makes it easier for users to hang and retrieve clothes at a suitable height. This effectively avoids users having to look up and raise their arms for a long time, thus preventing fatigue and protecting their health.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, the output end of the lifting module 51 is a connecting rope or a scissor frame. Using a connecting rope as the output end of the lifting module 51 allows the motor to pull the connecting rope to wind it or release it, causing the drying rod 5 to move downwards under gravity, thus achieving the lifting and lowering of the drying rod 5. Using a scissor frame as the output end of the lifting module 51 allows the motor to pull the lever arm of the scissor frame, thereby switching the scissor frame between extended and retracted states. When the scissor frame is extended, it drives the drying rod 5 to move downwards; when the scissor frame is retracted, it drives the drying rod 5 to move upwards.

[0060] In the embodiments of this application, by rotating the handle 3, the handle 3 rotates around the axis of the hinge ring 21 of the pull rod 2, thereby causing the side of the handle 3 that is farther from the hinge axis on the cam structure 31 at the hinge to face the pull rod 2. In this state, the cam structure 31 presses against one side of the opening of the fixing frame 1 and generates a pulling force on the pull rod 2, thereby generating an inward pushing force on both sides of the opening of the fixing frame 1, thereby clamping and fixing the drying rod 5 with the fixing frame 1, achieving the effect of fixing the relative position between the fixing frame 1 and the drying rod 5, satisfying the positioning setting of the functional module 4, and effectively improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the functional module 4.
