Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothes drying equipment technology, and in particular to a frameless lighting structure and a clothes drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Existing clothes drying racks with lighting functions generally have side panels on the main frame with a certain border around the edge. The border is used to surround and press against the lamp cover, thereby fixing the lamp cover to the main frame. This connection method results in a relatively thick border, which not only affects the aesthetics and overall appearance, but also affects the light transmittance of the lamp cover when the light-emitting component is emitting light, resulting in low lighting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a frameless lighting structure and a clothes drying rack to solve the problems existing in related technologies. The technical solution is as follows: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a frameless lighting structure, comprising: a main body, wherein a side plate and an end cap are disposed on the main body, the side plate and the end cap forming an inwardly recessed receiving cavity; a lighting component disposed within the receiving cavity and connected to the side plate and the end cap respectively; at least one positioning part disposed within the receiving cavity, the lighting component being fixed at a preset position within the receiving cavity by connecting to the positioning part; wherein the upper edge of the side plate and the upper edge of the end cap together form a continuous mounting plane, and the upper surface of the lighting component is flush with the mounting plane.

[0004] In one embodiment, the lighting assembly includes a lamp base and a lampshade covering the lamp base. The lamp base is disposed within the accommodating cavity, and its side walls are respectively connected to the side plate and the end cap.

[0005] In one embodiment, the lampshade has a plurality of spaced-apart partitions on its inner surface facing the lamp body base. When the lampshade is installed on the lamp body base, the partitions abut against the upper end face of the lamp body base, so that an assembly gap is formed between the lampshade and the lamp body base.

[0006] In one embodiment, the outer side of the lampshade extends along its circumferential edge to form a protrusion, and when the lampshade is installed on the lamp body base, the protrusion extends downward and covers the outer side of the lamp body base.

[0007] In one embodiment, at least one positioning member is provided on one side of the lamp body base. The positioning member is a mounting plate disposed on the side plate and adapted to correspond with the positioning member. The positioning member is detachably connected to the mounting plate.

[0008] In one embodiment, the positioning element is a positioning buckle, which engages with the mounting plate.

[0009] In one embodiment, a plurality of first fasteners are spaced apart on the side plate, and one end of the first fastener is connected to the side wall of the lamp body base.

[0010] In one embodiment, a plurality of second fasteners are spaced apart on the end cap, one end of each second fastener being connected to the side wall of the lamp body base.

[0011] In one embodiment, the lighting assembly further includes a light guide plate and a diffuser plate arranged sequentially, the light guide plate being disposed within the lamp body base, and the diffuser plate covering the light-emitting surface of the light guide plate.

[0012] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a clothes drying rack, including the aforementioned frameless lighting structure.

[0013] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following: The side panels and end caps of this application are vertically arranged on the main body. The upper edges of the side panels and the upper edges of the end caps together form a continuous and horizontal mounting plane, and the two together enclose an inwardly recessed receiving cavity. The lighting component is set in the receiving cavity, and the upper surface of the lighting component is flush with the mounting plane, so that the lighting component can be seamlessly integrated with the mounting plane. There is no stepped structure in its fit, thus achieving a frameless effect of the lighting structure. The frameless structure will not affect the light transmittance of the lamp cover, thereby improving the lighting efficiency of the lighting structure and making the product more beautiful and elegant.

[0018] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described to make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Example 1 like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a frameless lighting structure, comprising a main body 1, on which a side plate 2 and an end cap 3 are provided, the side plate 2 and the end cap 3 forming an inwardly recessed receiving cavity; a lighting component 4, disposed within the receiving cavity and connected to the side plate 2 and the end cap 3 respectively; at least one positioning part 5, disposed within the receiving cavity, the lighting component 4 being fixed to a preset position within the receiving cavity by connecting to the positioning part 5; wherein, the upper edge of the side plate 2 and the upper edge of the end cap 3 together form a continuous mounting plane, and the upper surface of the lighting component 4 is flush with the mounting plane.

[0021] In this embodiment, both the side plate 2 and the end cap 3 are plate-shaped profile structures, and neither of them has an edge-wrapping structure to cover the edge of the lamp body. The side plate 2 and the end cap 3 are vertically arranged on the main body 1, and together they enclose an inwardly recessed receiving cavity. The upper edge of the side plate 2 and the upper edge of the end cap 3 together form a continuous and horizontal mounting plane. The lighting component 4 is set in the receiving cavity, and the upper surface of the lighting component 4 is flush with the mounting plane, so that the lighting component 4 can be seamlessly integrated with the mounting plane. There is no stepped structure in its fit, thereby achieving a frameless effect of the lighting structure (the frame is only one profile wall thickness, and the frame is extremely narrow, forming a frameless effect visually). The frameless structure will not affect the light transmittance of the lamp cover, thereby improving the lighting efficiency of the lighting structure and making the product more beautiful and elegant.

[0022] At least one positioning part 5 is provided in the accommodating cavity of the main body 1. The lighting component 4 is fixed in a preset position in the accommodating cavity by connecting the positioning part 5, so as to avoid the lighting structure from shifting or loosening during use and to ensure the reliability of the product.

[0023] Furthermore, the lighting assembly 4 includes a lamp base 6 and a lampshade 7 covering the lamp base 6. The lamp base 6 is disposed in the accommodating cavity, and its side walls are respectively connected to the side plate 2 and the end cap 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, the lighting component 4 includes a lamp base 6 and a lampshade 7. The lamp base 6 can be made of plastic or metal structural materials. The lampshade 7 can be installed on the lamp base 6 by means of snap-fit, welding or sliding cover. The lamp base 6 is set in the accommodating cavity. The outer side wall of the lamp base 6 is connected to the side plate 2 and the end cover 3 respectively. There is no connection between the lampshade 7 and the side plate 2 and the end cover 3. This method can prevent the edge of the parts that are in contact with the lampshade 7 from covering the lampshade 7, thereby achieving a frameless effect of the structure.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lampshade 7 has a plurality of spaced partitions 8 on its inner surface facing the lamp body base 6. When the lampshade 7 is installed on the lamp body base 6, the partitions 8 abut against the upper end face of the lamp body base 6, so that an assembly gap is formed between the lampshade 7 and the lamp body base 6.

[0026] In the prior art, when the lampshade 7 and the lamp base 6 are attached, the light emitted by the lamp beads inside the lamp base 6 cannot penetrate the attachment surface due to the tight fit of the attachment surfaces. This results in black edges, shadows, or yellow edges and shadows appearing on the attachment surface when the lamp is lit, causing poor appearance when the lamp is lit.

[0027] In this embodiment, the separator 8 is disposed on the inner surface of the lampshade 7 facing the lamp base 6, and multiple separators 8 are evenly spaced on the lampshade 7. When the lampshade 7 is installed on the lamp base 6, the separator 8 abuts against the upper end surface of the lamp base 6, leaving a certain assembly gap between the lampshade 7 and the lamp base 6, avoiding direct contact and contact between the lampshade 7 and the lamp base 6. The light emitted by the lamp beads in the lamp base 6 can be directly diffused onto the entire plane of the lampshade 7, preventing structural defects when the lamp is lit.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a protrusion 9 extends along the circumferential edge of the outer side of the lampshade 7. When the lampshade 7 is installed on the lamp body base 6, the protrusion 9 extends downward and covers the outer side of the lamp body base 6.

[0029] In this embodiment, a protrusion 9 is formed on the outer side of the lampshade 7 along its circumferential edge. When the lampshade 7 is installed on the lamp base 6, the protrusion 9 extends downward and covers the outer side of the lamp base 6. That is, the lampshade 7 covers the entire end face of the lighting component 4. When the lighting component 4 is installed in the receiving cavity, only the lampshade 7 is exposed. The lamp base 6 is completely received in the receiving cavity and is not exposed, so that the lighting structure presents a frameless effect, thereby improving the lighting efficiency of the lighting structure.

[0030] In addition, the design of the lampshade 7 covering the entire end face of the lighting component 4 can effectively prevent dust, insects and other debris from entering the lighting component 4, protecting the internal optical components and circuits, thereby extending the product's service life.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, at least one positioning element 10 is provided on one side of the lamp body base 6. The positioning part 5 is a mounting plate 11 provided on the side plate 2 and correspondingly adapted to the positioning element 10. The positioning element 10 and the mounting plate 11 are detachably connected.

[0032] In this embodiment, multiple positioning elements 10 are all disposed on the outer side of the lamp base 6 away from the lamp cover 7. The positioning part 5 is a horizontal mounting plate 11 disposed on the side plate 2. The positioning elements 10 and the mounting plate 11 are correspondingly adapted and detachably connected, so that the lamp base 6 can be fixed in the preset position in the accommodating cavity through the assembly relationship between the two, thereby achieving the positioning effect of the lighting component 4 on the main body 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the positioning element 10 is a positioning buckle, which engages with the mounting plate 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the positioning element 10 can be a positioning buckle. In other embodiments, the positioning element 10 can also be other fixing structures. The positioning buckle is engaged with the mounting plate 11. The engagement connection can provide a certain pre-tightening force to prevent the structure from loosening and ensure a firm connection. In addition, the engagement connection allows the lamp base 6 to be removed from the mounting plate 11, which simplifies the product loading and unloading steps and facilitates later maintenance and replacement.

[0035] Furthermore, a plurality of first fasteners 12 are spaced apart on the side plate 2, and one end of the first fastener 12 is connected to the side wall of the lamp body base 6.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first fastener 12 can be a threaded connector. Multiple first fasteners 12 are horizontally spaced on the side plate 2, and one end of them is connected to the side wall of the lamp base 6. The side wall of the lamp base 6 can be fixed on the side plate 2 by the first fasteners 12, thereby realizing that the lighting component 4 can be fixed on the main body 1, and avoiding the lighting component 4 from becoming loose or falling off.

[0037] Furthermore, a plurality of second fasteners 13 are spaced apart on the end cap 3, and one end of the second fastener 13 is connected to the side wall of the lamp body base 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second fastener 13 can be a threaded connector. Multiple second fasteners 13 are horizontally spaced on the side plate 2, and one end of them is connected to the side wall of the lamp base 6. The side wall of the lamp base 6 can be fixed to the end cover 3 through the second fasteners 13, thereby realizing that the lighting component 4 can be fixed on the main body 1, and avoiding the lighting component 4 from becoming loose or falling off.

[0039] The second fastener 13, together with the first fastener 12, can lock and fix the lighting component 4 from the direction of the end cover 3 and the side plate 2 respectively, forming a three-dimensional multi-directional fixing network, which significantly enhances the shock resistance and structural stability of the lighting component 4 in the accommodating cavity.

[0040] Furthermore, the lighting component 4 also includes a light guide plate and a diffuser plate arranged in sequence. The light guide plate is disposed inside the lamp base 6, and the diffuser plate covers the light-emitting surface of the light guide plate.

[0041] In this embodiment, the light guide plate can convert the point light source in the lighting component 4 into a uniform surface light source, and the diffuser plate can diffuse the surface light source converted by the light guide plate onto the entire plane of the lampshade 7, making the light output effect of the lighting component 4 softer and more uniform, and the lighting comfort higher.
