AI Technical Summary
[0035] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By dividing the functional areas of the clothes drying rack outer shell, a first mounting part and a second mounting part are formed on both sides of the outer shell along the width direction. This not only allows the lifting component to completely avoid the telescopic component, preventing interference between the two during the lifting and lowering of the rack outer shell, but also concentrates the heavier telescopic component in the second mounting part. This shifts the center of gravity of the rack outer shell from the first mounting part to the second mounting part. Furthermore, by setting a connecting part above the second mounting part, the connecting part is positioned above the center of gravity of the rack outer shell, allowing the center of gravity of the rack outer shell to be balanced when the connecting part is connected to the traction component. In this way, the overall weight of the clothes drying rack is basically concentrated on the traction component, reducing the burden on the lifting component and greatly improving the stability provided by the lifting component when the rack outer shell is in use. It also reduces the risk of damage to the lifting component and even the clothes drying rack.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of clothes drying equipment, and in particular to a clothes drying rod bracket and a clothes drying machine. Background Technology
[0002] Retractable clotheslines are a convenient device in modern home life. They can raise and lower the clothesline through a specific mechanical device, making it convenient for users to dry clothes at different heights.
[0003] Currently, with technological advancements and diversified consumer demands, clothes drying racks are increasingly trending towards miniaturization to improve their aesthetics when folded and minimize their visual obtrusiveness when not in use, thus becoming an integral part of home décor. However, while this design optimizes the overall visual appeal, it inevitably reduces the drying area. Therefore, clothes drying racks have been redesigned with telescopic extension capabilities. This allows for expansion of the drying area when clothes need to be hung without compromising the aesthetics when folded, providing users with a more flexible and efficient drying experience.
[0004] However, due to the additional telescopic structure, the structure of the extended clothes drying rack is more complex than that of traditional products. This causes the center of gravity of the clothes drying rack to change to some extent. Furthermore, the overall center of gravity of the clothes drying rack will also deflect during the extension and retraction process, thereby increasing the burden on the traction components and lifting components, affecting its stability and increasing the risk of product damage. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a clothes drying rack bracket and a clothes drying machine, which can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] Firstly, a clothesline bracket is provided, comprising:
[0008] The bracket housing has adjacent first mounting portions and second mounting portions formed along the width direction, the first mounting portions being used to connect with the lifting assembly of the clothes drying rack;
[0009] A telescopic component is movably disposed in the second mounting portion;
[0010] The bracket housing is also provided with a connecting part above the second mounting part, and the connecting part is used to connect the traction component of the clothes drying machine.
[0011] As an optional implementation, the telescopic assembly includes a first telescopic frame and a second telescopic frame, both of which can reciprocate between a storage position with their ends close to the bracket housing and a drying position with their ends away from the bracket housing.
[0012] During the movement of the first telescopic frame and the second telescopic frame from the storage position to the drying position, the distance between the ends of the first telescopic frame and the ends of the second telescopic frame in the length direction of the bracket shell gradually increases, or the distance between the ends of the first telescopic frame and the ends of the second telescopic frame in the length direction of the bracket shell remains unchanged.
[0013] As an optional implementation, the distance between the end of the first telescopic frame and the bracket housing is the same as the distance between the end of the second telescopic frame and the bracket housing;
[0014] The connecting part is located at the center of the second mounting part in the length direction.
[0015] As an optional implementation, both the first telescopic frame and the second telescopic frame are configured to be movable relative to the bracket housing along their length; and
[0016] The first telescopic frame and the second telescopic frame are arranged sequentially on the second mounting part along the width direction of the bracket housing. When both the first telescopic frame and the second telescopic frame are in the retracted position, the projections of the first telescopic frame and the second telescopic frame along the width direction of the bracket housing at least partially overlap.
[0017] As an optional implementation, the first telescopic frame and the second telescopic frame are synchronously connected via a first transmission assembly.
[0018] As an optional implementation, the first transmission assembly includes:
[0019] The first rack is fixedly mounted on the first telescopic frame;
[0020] The first transmission gear is rotatably disposed on the bracket housing and meshes with the first rack;
[0021] The second rack is fixedly mounted on the second telescopic frame and meshes with the first transmission gear.
[0022] As an optional implementation, the connecting portion is located above the first transmission gear.
[0023] As an optional implementation, it also includes:
[0024] A drive component is movably disposed in the first mounting part. The drive component is used to connect with the lifting assembly of the clothes drying rack. During the process of the power unit of the clothes drying rack driving the bracket housing to rise and fall through the traction component, the lifting assembly drives the drive component to reciprocate relative to the bracket housing in a preset direction.
[0025] The drive component is connected to the first telescopic frame via a second transmission assembly.
[0026] As an optional implementation, the direction of movement of the driving component is opposite to the direction of movement of the first telescopic frame;
[0027] The second transmission assembly includes:
[0028] The third rack is connected to the drive component for transmission.
[0029] The second transmission gear is rotatably mounted on the bracket housing and meshes with the third rack;
[0030] The fourth rack is fixedly mounted on the first telescopic frame and meshes with the second transmission gear.
[0031] Secondly, a clothes drying rack is provided, comprising:
[0032] The main unit is equipped with a power unit;
[0033] A lifting assembly, the first end of which is mounted on the main unit;
[0034] As described in the first aspect, the second end of the lifting assembly is movably mounted on the first mounting part, the power unit is connected to the first mounting part via a traction member, and the telescopic assembly is provided with a clothes drying rod.
[0035] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By dividing the functional areas of the clothes drying rack outer shell, a first mounting part and a second mounting part are formed on both sides of the outer shell along the width direction. This not only allows the lifting component to completely avoid the telescopic component, preventing interference between the two during the lifting and lowering of the rack outer shell, but also concentrates the heavier telescopic component in the second mounting part. This shifts the center of gravity of the rack outer shell from the first mounting part to the second mounting part. Furthermore, by setting a connecting part above the second mounting part, the connecting part is positioned above the center of gravity of the rack outer shell, allowing the center of gravity of the rack outer shell to be balanced when the connecting part is connected to the traction component. In this way, the overall weight of the clothes drying rack is basically concentrated on the traction component, reducing the burden on the lifting component and greatly improving the stability provided by the lifting component when the rack outer shell is in use. It also reduces the risk of damage to the lifting component and even the clothes drying rack.
[0036] Since the telescopic components are all located in the second mounting section, they are all on the same side of the lifting components. Therefore, during the movement of the telescopic components relative to the bracket housing, the center of gravity of the bracket housing will not deflect too much, which can effectively improve the stability of the clothes drying rack in different states.

[0048] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0049] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0050] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0051] A retractable clothesline is a common drying tool in modern homes. It can be raised or lowered manually or electrically, allowing users to conveniently hang clothes at different heights. Generally, retractable clotheslines come in two types: manual and electric. Manual retractable clotheslines use a hand crank or similar control mechanism, raising and lowering the clothesline by raising and lowering the rope; their structure is relatively simple. Electric retractable clotheslines, on the other hand, typically use an electric motor to drive the rope, and they usually also come with a remote control function, allowing users to easily control the raising and lowering of the clothesline from a distance.
[0052] As the background technology shows, with the advancement of technology and the diversification of consumer demands, retractable clothes drying racks have gradually become smaller in design to improve their aesthetics when stored. The aim is to minimize visual obtrusion when not in use, making them a part of home décor rather than simply a practical tool. Especially with recessed clothes drying racks, which are typically designed to be embedded in the ceiling or wall, the width and number of drying rods are more restrained, allowing them to be stored within the recessed main unit when not in use, achieving space saving and maintaining a clean and aesthetically pleasing home environment. However, while pursuing aesthetics and space saving, the drying area and expandable accessories provided by retractable clothes drying racks are also correspondingly limited. It is difficult to achieve a balance between the product's shape and its functionality. This design, while optimizing the overall visual effect, undoubtedly reduces the drying area provided by the retractable clothes drying rack.
[0053] Therefore, clothes drying racks were later designed with telescopic extension functions. When clothes need to be hung, the clothes rack can be lowered and extended further to expand the drying area. When the clothes rack needs to be raised and put away, it can be retracted and folded without affecting the aesthetics of the stored state, bringing users a more flexible and efficient drying experience.
[0054] However, due to the additional telescopic structure, the structure of extended clothes drying racks is more complex than traditional products. Especially in order to adapt to the current miniaturized clothes drying machines, and to make the clothes drying rack have a smaller overall size when stored, the telescopic structures may form a staggered and overlapping shape when stored. This will cause the center of gravity of the clothes drying rack to change to some extent. In addition, the overall center of gravity of the clothes drying rack will also deflect during the extension and retraction process, thereby increasing the burden on the traction components and lifting components. The lifting components, which are mainly responsible for improving the stability of the clothes drying rack (such as wind resistance), need to take more consideration into account the load-bearing capacity. This not only affects the stability of the clothes drying rack, but also increases the risk of product damage.
[0055] In view of this, this embodiment provides a clothes drying rack bracket, which changes the structural layout of relevant components on the bracket shell so that the clothes drying rack bracket is balanced on the clothes drying machine in both the position and direction of the center of gravity, thus solving a series of problems such as poor stability and high damage rate caused by the unstable center of gravity of the clothes drying rack bracket in the clothes drying machine.
[0056] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 4-9 The clothesline bracket includes a bracket housing 10 and a telescopic component 20. The bracket housing 10 serves as the supporting foundation for the clothesline bracket. In practical applications of the clothesline dryer, it connects to the lifting component 70 and the traction component 80 of the dryer, providing the necessary installation space and position for the telescopic component 20. This allows the bracket housing 10 to move synchronously with the lifting component 70 under the traction of the traction component 80, ultimately raising and lowering the telescopic component 20. To ensure good structural stability during the use of the clothesline dryer, it can be made of sturdy and durable materials, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel. Furthermore, the shape and size of the bracket housing 10 can be designed according to the overall design of the clothesline dryer and user requirements; this embodiment does not impose strict limitations or requirements in these aspects.
[0057] It is important to understand that the lifting assembly 70 can serve both as a medium for transmitting lifting power to the clothes drying rack and as a component for stabilizing the lifting movement of the clothes drying rack relative to the bracket housing 10. A scissor-shaped frame is a common structural form of the lifting assembly 70. It typically consists of two scissor arms 71 and a support, resembling the two blades of scissors, connected by the support to form a telescopic and foldable structure. This structure allows the scissor-shaped frame to remain stable when the clothes drying rod 90 bears weight, while also allowing the clothes drying rack to move smoothly during the lifting and lowering process of the bracket housing 10. Of course, the lifting assembly 70 can also be configured as other movable components with stabilizing support functions, as long as they improve the relative stability between the bracket housing 10 and the main unit of the clothes drying rack in practical applications. This embodiment does not impose strict limitations or requirements on this.
[0058] The traction component 80 used for lifting and lowering the bracket housing 10 relative to the main unit of the clothes drying machine includes, but is not limited to, chains, racks and pinions, screw lifting mechanisms (such as lead screw pairs), synchronous belts and synchronous pulleys, etc. The traction component 80 is connected to the power unit 61 of the clothes drying machine to transmit the traction force output by the power unit 61 to the bracket housing 10, thereby realizing the relative lifting and lowering of the bracket housing 10 and the main unit of the clothes drying machine.
[0059] In this embodiment, the bracket housing 10 extends along its width direction (see attached diagram). Figure 4 , Figure 7The width direction indicated by the middle arrow has adjacent first mounting portion 11 and second mounting portion 12. The first mounting portion 11 is used to connect with the lifting assembly 70 of the clothes drying rack, and the telescopic assembly 20 is movably disposed on the second mounting portion 12. It can be understood that in the actual application scenario of the clothes drying rack, the telescopic assembly 20 is equipped with a clothes drying rod 90. The clothes drying rod 90 can provide a corresponding hanging position for the clothes that need to be dried, and the basic drying area that the clothes drying rack can provide is determined according to the specific structural design of the clothes drying rod 90. The telescopic assembly 20 can reciprocate in the direction of approaching and moving away from the bracket housing 10 (such as the horizontal or vertical direction, etc., in this embodiment there is no strict limitation or requirement on the specific movement direction of the telescopic assembly 20), so that the telescopic assembly 20 can drive the clothes drying rod 90 to move closer to or away from the bracket housing 10 according to the user's needs, thereby expanding or contracting the drying area.
[0060] Furthermore, in some embodiments, it is not limited to providing multiple telescopic components 20 on the second mounting part 12. Each telescopic component 20 is provided with at least one clothes drying rod 90. In this way, the clothes drying rod 90 can be extended and retracted in different directions, which can meet more different application scenarios and user needs.
[0061] As can be understood from the above, this embodiment does not specifically limit the telescopic direction of the telescopic component 20. As a specific structural form, the telescopic component 20 includes a telescopic frame. The telescopic frame can be understood as a rod that extends along the direction of its telescopic movement relative to the bracket housing 10. The first end of the telescopic frame maintains a movable fit with the bracket housing 10, while the other end of the telescopic frame can move in the direction close to and away from the bracket housing 10 and is used to provide a connection position for the clothes drying rod 90 of the clothes drying rack.
[0062] As can be seen, the bracket housing 10 provides corresponding connection positions for the lifting assembly 70 and the telescopic assembly 20 on opposite sides along its width direction. Since the telescopic frame needs to be connected to the clothesline 90 in actual applications, both the clothesline 90 and the telescopic frame need to share the weight of the clothes and may be affected by various external forces during use, such as wind and human operation. Therefore, the structural strength of the telescopic assembly 20 (telescopic frame) needs to be guaranteed, and thus relatively high-strength materials (such as aluminum alloy and stainless steel) are used. This causes the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10 to shift from the first mounting part 11 towards the second mounting part 12.
[0063] Following the above, a connecting part 13 is also provided above the second mounting part 12 on the bracket housing 10. The connecting part 13 is used to connect the traction component 80 of the clothes drying rack. It should be reiterated that the lifting component 70 in this embodiment mainly enhances the stability (such as wind resistance) between the clothes drying rod 90 and the main unit of the clothes drying rack, keeps the clothes drying rack balanced during lifting and lowering, reduces the swaying of the clothes drying rod 90, and thus improves the overall stability of the clothes drying rack. The traction component 80 is a component that connects the clothes drying rack and the power unit 61 of the clothes drying rack. In actual application scenarios, the traction component 80 extends along the height direction of the bracket housing 10 in a direction away from the bracket housing 10 and connects with the power unit 61 of the clothes drying rack. It provides the bracket housing 10 with the traction force to pull it up and down relative to the main unit of the clothes drying rack and the tension force to keep the bracket housing 10 at any height position. As can be seen from the above, the traction component 80 can be made of steel wire rope, or it can be made of chain, transmission belt, or other structures.
[0064] In this embodiment, the traction member 80 is connected to the second mounting part 12 of the bracket housing 10 above the second mounting part 12 for mounting the telescopic component 20 via the connecting part 13. This allows the traction and pulling forces provided by the traction member 80 to the bracket housing 10 to be basically aligned with the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10, thereby balancing the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10 to a certain extent. The weight of the bracket housing 10 is basically concentrated on the traction member 80, reducing the burden on the lifting component 70. The lifting component 70 does not need to consider load-bearing capacity too much; it only needs to ensure a relatively stable fit between the main unit of the clothes dryer and the bracket housing 10. This greatly improves the stability provided by the lifting component 70 when the bracket housing 10 is in use and also reduces the risk of damage to the lifting component 70 and even the clothes dryer.
[0065] It should be noted that the number of telescopic frames included in the telescopic assembly 20 is not strictly limited or required in this embodiment. However, it is worth mentioning that when the telescopic assembly 20 includes an even number of telescopic frames, in order to further ensure the balance of the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10, each telescopic frame can be symmetrically arranged along the length of the bracket housing 10 (please refer to the appendix). Figure 4 , Figure 7 The two sides of the "length direction" indicated by the middle arrow. When the telescopic assembly 20 includes an odd number of telescopic frames, the bracket housing 10 can also be compensated to some extent for the problem of the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10 shifting due to the uneven number of telescopic frames by setting corresponding counterweights on the second mounting part 12.
[0066] It is understood that the structure of the connecting part 13 in this embodiment can be designed according to the specific structure of the traction member 80. For example, if the traction member 80 is a component specified in the instruction manual... Figures 2-3In the case of the steel wire rope shown, the connecting part 13 can be configured as a hanging hole integrally formed with the bracket housing 10, or it can be configured as a component independent of the bracket housing 10. By providing the hanging hole on this component and using the corresponding assembly process (such as welding, snap-fitting, screwing, bonding, etc.), it is installed on the bracket housing 10. This embodiment does not impose strict limitations or requirements on this.
[0067] In addition to the effects described above, the clothes drying rack provided in this embodiment, by dividing the functional areas of the rack housing 10 and forming a first mounting portion 11 and a second mounting portion 12 on both sides along the width direction of the rack housing 10, also allows the lifting assembly 70 to be completely positioned away from the telescopic assembly 20 in the height direction of the rack housing 10, preventing interference between the two during the lifting and lowering of the rack housing 10 and ensuring smooth and stable lifting and lowering of the rack housing 10. Moreover, since the telescopic assemblies 20 are all located on the second mounting portion 12, they are all located on the same side of the lifting assembly 70. Therefore, during the movement of the telescopic assembly 20 relative to the rack housing 10, the center of gravity of the rack housing 10 will not deflect excessively, effectively improving the stability of the clothes drying rack under different conditions. In contrast, when the telescopic frame is placed on both sides of the lifting assembly 70 along the width of the bracket housing 10, the two opposite corners of the bracket housing 10 will shift outwards in the direction of gravity due to the extension or retraction of the telescopic frame. This will cause a severe deflection of the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10, resulting in the lifting assembly 70 bearing excessive lateral torque and significantly affecting the mechanical performance of the lifting assembly 70.
[0068] Based on the structural foundation provided by the above embodiments, please continue to refer to the appendix of the instruction manual. Figures 4-9 This embodiment takes as an example that each set of telescopic components 20 includes a first telescopic frame 21 and a second telescopic frame 22. That is to say, no matter how many sets of telescopic components 20 are provided in the second mounting part 12, the number of telescopic frames located on the second mounting part 12 is always multiple. As can be seen from the above, multiple telescopic frames are more conducive to maintaining the balance of the clothes drying rack bracket when they move telescopically relative to the bracket housing 10. The first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 can both be located at their ends near the storage position of the bracket housing 10 (e.g., Figures 8-9 (as shown) and the drying position at the end away from the bracket housing 10 (e.g. Figures 4-7 The two telescopic frames (as shown) reciprocate between each other. It should be explained that the ends of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 mentioned above refer to the ends of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 that are closer to or farther away from the bracket housing 10 when they move relative to the bracket housing 10. For ease of understanding, the end of the first telescopic frame 21 is defined as the first telescopic end 211, and the end of the second telescopic frame 22 is defined as the second telescopic end 221.
[0069] Furthermore, this embodiment does not specifically limit whether the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are specifically disposed outside or inside the bracket housing 10. However, in some embodiments, in order for the bracket housing 10 to serve to store and protect the telescopic component 20, the bracket housing 10 may form a hollow receiving cavity within the second mounting portion 12. This allows the telescopic component 20 to be at least partially movably disposed within the receiving cavity, while also allowing the bracket housing 10 to provide corresponding installation space and position for other related components through the receiving cavity.
[0070] As mentioned above, this embodiment does not strictly limit or require the movement direction of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22. It ensures that during the movement relative to the bracket housing 10, the first telescopic end 211 and the second telescopic end 221 move in a direction close to or away from the bracket housing 10, thereby enabling the clothes drying rod 90 to expand or retract the drying area. For example, during the process of the clothes drying machine's power unit 61 driving the bracket housing 10 to rise and fall via the traction member 80, the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 can extend or retract in a horizontal or vertical direction. To further improve the stability of the bracket housing 10's center of gravity, the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 in a telescopic assembly 20 should be movably mounted on the second mounting portion 12 of the bracket housing 10 in a nearly symmetrical arrangement.
[0071] To provide a clearer understanding of this solution, at least two specific examples of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 in different telescopic directions are provided below:
[0072] In an embodiment in which the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 extend and retract in a horizontal direction or in a direction inclined to the horizontal, moving away from or closer to each other, during the process of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 moving from the storage position to the drying position, the distance between the first telescopic end 211 of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic end 221 of the second telescopic frame 22 in the length direction of the bracket shell 10 gradually increases.
[0073] Second, in the embodiment where the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 move in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal, the distance between the ends of the first telescopic frame 21 and the ends of the second telescopic frame 22 in the length direction of the bracket housing 10 remains unchanged. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the extension and retraction directions of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are consistent.
[0074] With the above settings, it can be ensured that no matter what telescopic method the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are set to, the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10 will not change too much when they telescopically move relative to the bracket housing 10. This not only expands and contracts the drying area formed by the clothes drying rod 90 of the clothes dryer, but also keeps the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10 basically unchanged during the movement of the telescopic component 20. This ensures that the direction of the force applied by the traction component 80 to the bracket housing 10 is consistent with the direction of the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10, so that the bracket housing 10 maintains relative stability with the main unit of the clothes dryer in any state.
[0075] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10 remains basically stable when the telescopic component 20 changes position, in the embodiment where the telescopic component 20 includes a first telescopic frame 21 and a second telescopic frame 22, the movement of the two does not necessarily need to be synchronized in this embodiment. However, the final state of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 can be the same. For example, when the first telescopic frame 21 is in the drying position, the second telescopic frame 22 is also in the drying position. Conversely, when the first telescopic frame 21 is in the storage position, the second telescopic frame 22 is also in the storage position. In this way, it can be effectively ensured that the distance between the first telescopic end 211 of the first telescopic frame 21 and the bracket housing 10 is consistent with the distance between the second telescopic end 221 of the second telescopic frame 22 and the bracket housing 10, so that the force on the bracket housing 10 will not change due to the different states of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22, thereby achieving basic stability of the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10 and avoiding the situation where the mechanical performance of the lifting assembly 70 is affected by the deflection of the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10.
[0076] Based on the relatively symmetrical and balanced cooperation between the bracket housing 10 and the telescopic component 20, the position of the connecting part 13 on the bracket housing 10 is relatively easy to determine. Since the bracket housing 10 and the telescopic component 20 are arranged in a basically symmetrical manner, the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10 is offset from the first mounting part 11 to the second mounting part 12 in its width direction, and is basically located at the center of the second mounting part 12 in its length direction. Therefore, the connecting part 13 can also be set at the center of the second mounting part 12 along its length direction to achieve the purpose of balancing the center of gravity, so as to realize that the pulling force provided by the traction member 80 is basically coincident with the gravity direction of the bracket housing 10.
[0077] In one embodiment, such as Figures 4-9As shown, taking an embodiment where both the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are movable relative to the bracket housing 10 along their length as an example, in this embodiment, the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 move in opposite directions during the position switching process. This arrangement ensures that, in the drying position, the distance between the first telescopic end 211 and the second telescopic end 221 in the length direction of the bracket housing 10 is maximized, allowing the clothes dryer to expand to a larger drying space. Furthermore, when the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 switch positions relative to the bracket, it does not excessively affect the height and width of the clothes drying rack bracket, thereby reducing the risk of interference between the telescopic assembly 20 and external or clothes dryer-related components.
[0078] However, it is also understandable that in the embodiment where the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are configured to move along the length direction of the bracket housing 10, the telescopic component 20 also has relatively high requirements for the length dimension of the bracket housing 10. In order to fit the current concept of miniaturization of clothes drying racks and reduce the length space occupied by the bracket housing 10 in the storage state, this embodiment utilizes the width direction of the bracket housing 10 to stagger the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 in the second mounting part 12 along the width direction, so as to avoid the problem of the size superposition of the two in the length direction and reduce the length dimension of the bracket housing 10.
[0079] Specifically, such as Figures 4-9 As shown, the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are arranged sequentially on the second mounting part 12 along the width direction of the bracket housing 10. When both the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are in the retracted position, the projections of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 along the width direction of the bracket housing 10 at least partially overlap. In this way, while ensuring that the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 have a large telescopic stroke range, the length of the bracket housing 10 can be effectively reduced, so that the bracket housing 10 can meet the current product's aesthetic requirements when the telescopic component 20 is in the retracted position.
[0080] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that although the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are set to be offset along the width direction on the second mounting part 12 in this embodiment, since the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are both located on the second mounting part 12 near the side of the bracket housing 10, and the distance between them is small, even if the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are both in the drying position, it will not have a significant impact on the center of gravity of the bracket housing 10. It can still ensure that the bracket housing 10 has relatively good stability with the main body of the clothes drying machine when the telescopic component 20 is in different positions.
[0081] In one embodiment, to ensure that the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 can move synchronously when their positions change, so that the torques they generate on the bracket housing 10 are substantially the same, such as... Figures 4-9 As shown, the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 are synchronously connected by the first transmission assembly 30, so that when one of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 moves between the storage position and the drying position, the other can move synchronously with it.
[0082] It is understandable that synchronous transmission connections can be achieved through various transmission structures, including but not limited to synchronous belt drives, gear drives, chain drives, and screw drives.
[0083] In this embodiment, the clothes drying rack bracket only needs to drive one of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 to realize the overall movement of the telescopic component 20. In a telescopic component 20, each telescopic frame is linked sequentially. In the case of using multiple sets of telescopic components 20, each set of telescopic components 20 can also be linked sequentially. This not only ensures that the telescopic frame remains synchronized when extending or retracting, avoiding system instability or failure caused by asynchrony, but also, in the embodiment where the position state of the telescopic component 20 is controlled by the drive device, the drive device only needs to form a drive connection with one of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22. There is no need to set too many transmission structures between the drive device and the telescopic component 20, thereby improving the overall structural compactness and integration of the clothes drying rack. The bracket housing 10 also does not need to provide a larger storage space and installation position for too many parts and materials, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the clothes drying rack and the center of gravity layout of the bracket housing 10.
[0084] Please continue to refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figures 4-9As a specific structural form of the aforementioned first transmission component 30, taking the embodiment where the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 move in opposite directions along the horizontal direction to achieve synchronous switching of position states as an example, the first transmission component 30 specifically includes a first rack 31, a first transmission gear 32, and a second rack 33 in a set of telescopic components 20. The first rack 31 is fixedly disposed on the first telescopic frame 21, enabling the first rack 31 to move synchronously with the first telescopic frame 21. The first rack 31 can be configured to be parallel to the direction of movement of the first telescopic frame 21, or it can be inclined to the direction of movement of the first telescopic frame 21, depending on its tooth structure. This embodiment does not strictly limit this requirement. The first transmission gear 32 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting portion 12 of the bracket housing 10 and meshes with the first rack 31, allowing the first transmission gear 32 to rotate forward or backward on the bracket housing 10 according to the direction of movement of the first rack 31 (first telescopic frame 21). It is understood that when the first transmission gear 32 has a spur gear structure, its rotation axis is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first rack 31. However, when the first transmission gear 32 uses other tooth structures, its rotation axis can also be inclined to the first rack 31. This embodiment does not impose strict limitations or requirements on this. The second rack 33 is fixedly mounted on the second telescopic frame 22 and meshes with the first transmission gear 32, allowing the second rack 33 to drive the second telescopic frame 22 to move in the opposite direction to the first rack 31 according to the rotation of the first transmission gear 32.
[0085] It is understood that in this embodiment, there is a certain gap between the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22, and the sides of the two that are close to each other are respectively provided with a first rack 31 and a second rack 33. The relative positions of the first rack 31 and the second rack 33 can be adjusted according to the type of teeth between them. The gap between the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 allows the first transmission gear 32 to be accommodated, and when the first transmission gear 32 is accommodated, its opposite sides can respectively mesh with the first rack 31 and the second rack 33, so that the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 establish a synchronous transmission relationship.
[0086] In a further embodiment, when the clothes drying rack bracket includes multiple sets of telescopic components 20, the multiple sets of telescopic components 20 can also be arranged sequentially on the second mounting part 12 along the width direction of the bracket housing 10. Furthermore, each telescopic component 20 can establish a linkage relationship. In a specific structure, the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 in any two adjacent telescopic components 20 can form a synchronous transmission relationship using the aforementioned first transmission component 30, so that the user (or the clothes drying rack's drive device) only needs to apply a driving force to one of the telescopic frames to make each telescopic component 20 move, synchronously expanding and contracting the drying area.
[0087] Of course, in the implementation where different telescopic components 20 are responsible for driving the extension and retraction of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 in different directions, the first transmission component 30 does not necessarily have to adopt the above-mentioned implementation including the first rack 31, the first transmission gear 32 and the second rack 33. It can adopt different transmission components according to the different specific extension and retraction directions of the adjacent first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22, so as to change the direction of force transmission and ultimately realize the linkage relationship between the adjacent telescopic components 20.
[0088] Please continue to refer to the instruction manual. Figures 4-9 In the embodiment where a telescopic component 20 is provided on the clothes drying rack bracket, it is understood that, due to the gap reserved between the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 for the first transmission gear 32 to be installed, the center of gravity of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 on the bracket housing 10 is located in this gap. By placing the connecting part 13 on the bracket housing 10 above the first transmission gear 32, it can be ensured that the pulling direction of the traction member 80 is basically coincident with the gravity direction of the bracket housing 10. This not only reduces the difficulty of determining the position of the connecting part 13 on the bracket housing 10, but also further ensures the stability of the clothes drying rack bracket on the clothes drying machine.
[0089] Continuing with the example of the telescopic assembly 20 including the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22, please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figures 4-9 The clothes drying rack bracket also includes a drive component 40, which is movably disposed on the first mounting part 11. In the actual application scenario of the clothes drying rack, the drive component 40 is used to connect with the lifting assembly 70 of the clothes drying rack so that when the power unit 61 of the clothes drying rack drives the bracket housing 10 to rise and fall through the traction member 80, the lifting assembly 70 drives the drive component 40 to reciprocate relative to the bracket housing 10 on the first mounting part 11 in a preset direction.
[0090] The drive component 40 is connected to the first telescopic frame 21 via a second transmission assembly 50. It should be noted that this embodiment does not specifically limit the direction of movement of the drive component 40 on the bracket housing 10. In one embodiment, the direction of movement of the drive component 40 can be set to be parallel to the direction of movement of the corresponding first telescopic frame 21. Of course, in other embodiments, the direction of movement of the drive component 40 and the direction of movement of the first telescopic frame 21 can also be set at an angle depending on the specific transmission structure of the second transmission assembly 50. For example, the drive component 40 moves relative to the bracket housing 10 along the height direction, and the second transmission assembly 50 converts the vertical movement into horizontal movement, thereby causing the first telescopic frame 21 to be driven by the second transmission assembly 50 to perform telescopic movement in the horizontal direction.
[0091] In one embodiment, the drive component 40 is slidably engaged with the bracket housing 10. However, to ensure that the bracket housing 10 provides some protection for the drive component 40 without creating a rigid connection between the lifting assembly 70 and the drive component 40, such as... Figures 4-9 As shown, the bracket housing 10 is provided with a receiving groove on the first mounting part 11. The receiving groove extends along the movement direction of the drive member 40 to ensure that the drive member 40 can move normally relative to the bracket housing 10. Furthermore, the opening of the receiving groove is opened upward so that the lifting component 70 located above the bracket housing 10 can extend into the receiving groove through the opening of the receiving groove to achieve connection with the drive member 40.
[0092] It is understood that in this embodiment, the telescopic frame that is closer to the first mounting part 11 is defined as the first telescopic frame 21. Therefore, in order to reduce the complexity of the clothes drying rack structure, the drive component 40 is configured to be connected to the first telescopic frame 21 through the second transmission assembly 50. In other embodiments, the drive component 40 can also be connected to the second telescopic frame 22 through the second transmission assembly 50, or the telescopic frame that is closer to the first mounting part 11 can be defined as the second telescopic frame 22.
[0093] As can be seen from the above, the power provided by the drive component 40 moving in a preset direction can be transmitted to the first telescopic frame 21 through the second transmission component, allowing the first telescopic frame 21 to extend and retract between the drying position and the storage position according to the movement direction of the drive component 40. In the above solution, the second transmission component 50 is directly set between the drive component 40 and the first telescopic frame 21, which are connected to the lifting component 70. It can directly realize the movement of the drive component 40 on the bracket housing 10 through the power generated by the lifting component 70 during its movement. By using the lifting component 70 as part of the transmission structure, the need for an additional drive device to drive the telescopic component 20 on the clothes drying rack is eliminated. This can effectively improve the structural compactness of the clothes drying rack in the clothes drying rack application scenario, and can also effectively reduce the overall material quantity of the clothes drying rack, controlling the additional costs brought about by the clothes drying rack after the telescopic bracket is used.
[0094] Furthermore, to accommodate the miniaturized design of the clothes drying equipment and take into account the overall size of the clothes drying rack bracket, the size of the bracket housing 10 should not be too large. Therefore, the space available for the drive component 40 to move on the bracket housing 10 is relatively small. Thus, given the limited travel range of the drive component 40 on the bracket housing 10, the second transmission assembly 50 can also adjust the transmission ratio between the drive component 40 and the first telescopic frame 21. By increasing the transmission ratio between the drive component 40 and the first telescopic frame 21, the travel range of the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 on the bracket housing 10 can be expanded, thereby further widening the area of the drying area after unfolding.
[0095] For example, the second transmission component 50 of this embodiment can establish a linkage between the lifting component 70 and the first telescopic frame 21 through a combination of one or more transmission methods such as gear transmission, chain transmission, belt transmission, linkage transmission (such as a diamond four-bar linkage), lead screw transmission, and worm gear transmission. For example, gear transmission and chain transmission may be used to achieve a precise transmission ratio and smooth movement; belt transmission may be used for buffering and shock absorption; linkage transmission may be used to change the movement trajectory and direction; lead screw transmission may be used to achieve precise lifting and positioning; and worm gear transmission may be used for low-speed heavy-load transmission and self-locking function.
[0096] Taking the above-mentioned implementation of setting the lifting component 70 as a scissor frame as an example, combined with the attached... Figures 1-3The scissor-mounted clothes dryer works by using the folding of the scissor arms 71 to raise and lower the outer shell 10 on the clothes dryer. When the clothes dryer needs the outer shell 10 to rise, the two hinged scissor arms 71 extend outwards, gradually increasing the upward and downward angles between them, and decreasing the distance between the two ends of the scissor arms 71, thus gradually increasing the height of the outer shell 10. Conversely, when the clothes dryer needs the outer shell 10 to fall, the two hinged scissor arms 71 narrow inwards, gradually decreasing the upward and downward angles between them, and increasing the distance between the two ends of the scissor arms 71, thus gradually decreasing the height of the outer shell 10.
[0097] According to the design requirements of the clothes drying equipment, multiple scissor frames can be installed between the bracket housing 10 and the main unit of the clothes drying machine, so that the height position of the bracket housing 10 in different states can be determined according to the number of scissor frames.
[0098] Therefore, to ensure that the clothes rack housing 10 can be driven by the scissor frame, which serves as the lifting assembly 70, the two scissor arms 71 at both ends of the scissor frame that are connected to the clothes rack housing 10 need to be in a sliding connection manner to avoid interference between the two hinged scissor arms 71 and the connection structure between them and the clothes rack housing 10 when adjusting their angle. In this embodiment, the clothes rack also includes a drive component 40, which acts as a slider and is rotatably connected to the scissor arms 71 in the scissor frame. This allows the scissor arms 71 to form a sliding connection with the clothes rack housing 10 through the drive component 40, thus achieving the effect of linkage between the drive component 40 and the lifting assembly 70.
[0099] Combined with appendix Figures 1-3 As mentioned above, during the upward movement of the bracket housing 10, the two hinged scissor arms 71 in the scissor frame will move in the unfolding direction. However, in the product design requirements of the clothes drying rack, during the upward movement of the bracket housing 10, the first telescopic frame 21 and the second telescopic frame 22 need to move in the retracting direction close to the bracket housing 10. Therefore, in this embodiment, the movement direction of the drive component 40 is opposite to the movement direction of the first telescopic frame 21.
[0100] To enable the drive component 40 and the first telescopic frame 21 to move in opposite directions, the second transmission assembly 50 includes a third rack 51, a second transmission gear 52, and the third rack 51. The third rack 51 is connected to the drive component 40. In some embodiments, the third rack 51 can move synchronously with the drive component 40 in the same direction. In other embodiments, the drive component 40 can only drive the third rack 51 to move in a single direction. When the drive component 40 moves in the opposite direction, the third rack 51 disengages from the drive component 40, allowing it to reset via a reset structure such as an elastic element. This embodiment does not strictly limit or require the extension direction of the third rack 51. However, in some embodiments, to fit the shape design of the bracket housing 10 and improve the space utilization of the second transmission assembly 50 on the bracket housing 10, ensuring the size and structure of the bracket housing 10 are sufficiently compact for the clothes drying rack, the third rack 51 can be configured to extend along the movement direction of the drive component 40. The second transmission gear 52 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting portion 11 of the bracket housing 10 and meshes with the third rack 51. Thus, in one embodiment, the third rack 51 moves in the same direction as the driving component 40 under the drive of the lifting assembly 70 (scissor frame), while the second transmission gear 52 rotates forward or backward on the bracket housing 10 according to the direction of movement of the driving component 40. The fourth rack 53 is fixedly mounted on the first telescopic frame 21 and meshes with the second transmission gear 52. In the embodiment where the first telescopic frame 21 is provided with the first rack 31, the first rack 31 and the fourth rack 53 are located on opposite sides of the first telescopic frame 21, and the fourth rack 53 extends along the direction of movement of the first telescopic frame 21. During the forward or reverse rotation of the second transmission gear 52, the meshing transmission relationship between the fourth rack 53 and the second transmission gear 52 drives the first telescopic frame 21 to move in a preset direction, thereby achieving the effect of the third rack 51 (driving component 40) and the fourth rack 53 (first telescopic frame 21) moving in opposite directions.
[0101] Based on the above embodiments, in order to achieve the effect of increasing the transmission ratio between the drive component 40 and the first telescopic frame 21, such as Figures 4-9 As shown, the second transmission gear 52 includes a first gear 521 and a second gear 522. The first gear 521 and the second gear 522 are coaxially connected. The first gear 521 is smaller than the second gear 522, and the first gear 521 meshes with a third rack 51, while the second gear 522 meshes with a fourth rack 53, thereby increasing the transmission ratio. Alternatively, the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 can also be meshed to achieve the effect of a smaller gear driving a larger gear, increasing the transmission ratio. For example, ... Figures 4-9As shown, the first gear 521 and the second gear 522 are spaced apart on the bracket housing 10, and they cooperate with each other through transmission components such as a transmission belt or chain.
[0102] The second transmission component 50 in this embodiment establishes a linkage between the drive component 40 and the first telescopic frame 21 by adopting the aforementioned gear and rack transmission method. This effectively improves the load-bearing capacity and accuracy of the clothes drying rod bracket in the application of the clothes drying machine. It is understood that gear and rack transmission has a large load-bearing capacity and can withstand large loads and torques. At the same time, gear and rack transmission has high transmission accuracy. Therefore, this not only improves the load-bearing capacity of the clothes drying rod 90 for drying clothes, but also ensures the movement accuracy between the telescopic component 20 and the bracket housing 10 during the linkage with the lifting component 70. This achieves the effect of accurately switching the state of the telescopic component 20 according to different states of the clothes drying equipment, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the clothes drying equipment.
[0103] As can be understood from the above structural form, similar gear and rack transmission methods are used between adjacent first telescopic frames 21 and second telescopic frames 22, as well as between adjacent first telescopic frames 21 and drive components 40. This not only ensures that the first telescopic frames 21 and second telescopic frames 22 can maintain a high load-bearing capacity to ensure that the clothes drying rod 90 has a strong load-bearing capacity, but also allows the first telescopic frames 21 and second telescopic frames 22 to maintain a high transmission accuracy during linkage, thereby realizing synchronous telescopic movement between the first telescopic frames 21 and second telescopic frames 22, allowing the drying area of the clothes drying rack to be effectively expanded and contracted.
[0104] In addition, by using a gear and rack transmission, the size of the second transmission gear 52 can be reduced to maintain a shorter distance between any two adjacent telescopic brackets that are linked together, thereby improving the structural compactness and integration of the telescopic bracket, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the clothes drying rack.
[0105] Please refer to the instruction manual attached. Figures 1-3This utility model also provides a clothes drying rack, which includes a main unit, wherein the main unit further includes a main unit housing 60. The main unit housing 60 serves as the supporting foundation of the clothes drying rack, and its interior can form sufficient space to accommodate a telescopic bracket and related components. A power unit 61 is connected to the main unit housing 60. It is understood that, depending on the type of clothes drying rack, the power unit 61 can be configured to be electrically driven or manually driven. For example, in an embodiment where the clothes drying rack is electric, the power unit 61 can be a motor; in an embodiment where the clothes drying rack is manual, the power unit 61 can be a hand crank, etc. In embodiments where a power unit 61 requiring manual operation, such as a hand crank, is used, the power unit 61 can be located outside the main unit housing 60 for user convenience.
[0106] In this embodiment, the clothes drying machine also includes a lifting assembly 70 and a clothes drying rod bracket as provided in any of the above embodiments. The first end of the lifting assembly 70 is installed on the main unit housing 60, and the second end of the lifting assembly 70 is movably installed on the bracket housing 10. Furthermore, the bracket housing 10 is connected to the power unit 61 via a traction member 80 (such as a wire rope, transmission belt, etc.). A clothes drying rod 90 is provided on the telescopic assembly 20.
[0107] Understandably, the length and shape of the clothes drying rack 90 can be selected according to different needs to meet the requirements of different usage scenarios.
[0108] Furthermore, two clothesline brackets, each connected to the main housing 60 via lifting components 70, can be installed near both ends of the clothes drying rack to further improve the structural stability of the clothesline 90 on the clothes drying rack. The two ends of the clothesline 90 installed on the clothesline brackets can be connected to the telescopic components 20 on the two clothesline brackets respectively. The two ends of the clothesline 90 can move synchronously during the movement of the two telescopic components 20 relative to the main housing 60, so as to achieve the effect of expanding or narrowing the drying area, and correspondingly improve the clothes drying rack's load-bearing capacity.
[0109] It is also worth mentioning that the clothes drying rack can be equipped with appropriate limit devices and sensors to monitor the range of motion of the lifting assembly 70 or the bracket housing 10, so as to prevent the telescopic assembly 20 from being damaged due to excessive extension and retraction, and to suspend the bracket housing 10 at any height.
