Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of clothes drying racks, and more specifically, it relates to a thin rod connecting device for clothes drying racks. Background Technology

[0002] As a smart drying product, clothes drying racks are being used by more and more families.

[0003] Among the derivative functions of clothes drying racks, the structure of multiple thin rods that extend from the secondary rod further expands the drying range.

[0004] For example, Chinese invention patent with publication number "CN119800676A" discloses "a drying rack and clothes drying machine, including: two parallel drying rods; a small crossbar, including a crossbar body and a clothes fastener, with a receiving groove for accommodating the clothes fastener on one side of the crossbar body... By rotating the crossbar body to change the orientation of the receiving groove, the clothes fastener can be easily and quickly unfolded and retracted, greatly improving the efficiency of drying and storage." The existing technology has the following problems: In current clothes drying racks, the thin drying rods are mostly connected by ordinary soft ropes. When the thin drying rods converge and retract, the soft ropes lack an effective restraint mechanism and are prone to coming loose from the opening of the long slot of the auxiliary rod, getting tangled between the sliding parts, causing jamming or even structural damage. When the thin drying rods spread out, the soft ropes are difficult to keep taut, resulting in uneven distribution of the thin drying rods and reduced drying stability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a connecting device that can automatically restrain the deformation direction of the limiting parts, prevent them from coming loose and getting tangled, and ensure smooth extension and retraction of the thin drying rods. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a thin rod connecting device for a clothes drying rack, which can automatically constrain the deformation direction of the thin rod connecting rope and prevent the connecting rope from coming off and getting tangled.

[0006] This utility model discloses a thin rod connecting device for a clothes drying rack, comprising: The drying rod assembly is a rectangular frame structure. The two drying rods along its length are provided with hanging grooves for hanging clothes. The side ends of both drying rods are provided with retractable auxiliary rods. The auxiliary rod has a long groove running horizontally along its length. The long groove has an opening facing the opposite auxiliary rod. Between the two opposite auxiliary rods, there are several thin drying rods that can slide within the long groove. Each thin drying rod is connected to a limiting member located within the auxiliary rod. The limiting member has a storage part that can deform to one side. The deformation direction of the storage part does not include the direction facing the opening of the long groove. When the thin drying rods are arranged at intervals, the limiting members extend and straighten accordingly. When the thin drying rods are brought together, the limiting members bend and deform. The end of the drying rod is provided with a buckle, which secures the thin drying rod closest to the side of the drying rod.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting member includes a connecting rope, the two ends of which are respectively installed with two adjacent thin drying rods.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the storage part includes a weight ball, which is disposed at the middle position of the connecting rope, and the weight ball is made of metal material; When the connecting rope is relaxed, the ball hangs down naturally due to gravity.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting member includes a connecting wide rope, the two ends of which are respectively installed with two adjacent thin drying rods.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the storage part includes a main body extension structure in the shape of the connecting wide rope being flat; When the two thin drying rods come close to each other, they compress the flat body and cause it to bend and deform irregularly in the vertical direction.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the drying rod assembly includes two main rods arranged along the length direction and two rod seats connecting the two main rods along the width direction. The two main rods and the two rod seats are combined to form a rectangular frame. The auxiliary member slides inside the main member, and both ends of the main member can extend out of the auxiliary member; Among them, the ends of the two auxiliary rods on the same side are equipped with side seats, and one of the thin drying rods near the side seat is fixedly installed with the side seat.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the two ends of the main rod are provided with openings, and the buckle is correspondingly disposed in the opening. The buckle includes a buckle block, and the buckle block is connected to the thin drying rod buckle.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the end of the thin drying rod is provided with a rod head, the secondary rod is hollow, the hollow cavity of the secondary rod is interconnected with the long groove, the rod head extends into the hollow cavity, and the rod head is installed with the limiting member.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, a limiting groove is provided in the hollow cavity, and the limiting groove is distributed on the upper and lower sides, with an opening facing the opposite side in the limiting groove on the upper and lower sides respectively. The end of the thin drying rod is also provided with a positioning piece, which extends into the limiting groove on the upper and lower sides respectively, and the positioning piece is slidably disposed with the limiting groove.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the end of the thin drying rod is also provided with a limiting post (26), the diameter of which is greater than the distance between the limiting grooves on the upper and lower sides.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are: (1) This solution uses the directional deformation design of the limiting component to add a metal ball in the middle of the connecting rope, or adopts a flat connecting wide rope structure, which limits the connecting rope to deform only towards the inside of the auxiliary rod when it is in a free state. This physically eliminates the possibility of the connecting rope coming out of the long groove, eliminates the risk of entanglement and jamming, and can completely solve the problem of entanglement of the limiting component.

[0017] (2) This solution sets a positioning piece at the end of the thin drying rod, which is embedded into the upper and lower limit grooves of the sub-rod. Through the sliding cooperation between the positioning piece and the limit groove, a guiding mechanism is formed, which effectively restricts the lateral displacement and ensures that the thin drying rod slides smoothly and the spacing is uniform when it gathers or disperses, which greatly improves the movement stability of the thin drying rod.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] Specific Implementation Example 1: Please refer to... Figure 1-9 A clothes drying rack rod connecting device includes: The drying rod assembly is arranged in the form of a rectangular frame structure. The two drying rods in the length direction are provided with a hanging groove structure for hanging clothes. The side ends of the two drying rods are provided with a secondary rod 12 that can be extended and retracted. Understandably, the aforementioned drying rack assembly is used for raising and lowering by connecting to the main unit of the clothes drying machine. Two drying racks are used for drying clothes along their length, while a rack seat is provided along the width to connect the two drying racks, forming a rectangular frame for use.

[0022] Furthermore, both ends of any of the aforementioned drying rods are retractable auxiliary rods 12, and each drying rod can be retractably equipped with two auxiliary rods 12.

[0023] The secondary rod 12 has a long groove 27 running horizontally along its length. The long groove 27 has an opening facing the opposite side of the secondary rod 12. Between the two opposite secondary rods 12, several thin drying rods 13 are slidably movable within the long groove 27. Each thin drying rod 13 is connected to a limiting member located within the secondary rod 12. The limiting member has a storage part that can deform to one side. The deformation direction of the storage part does not include the direction facing the opening of the long groove 27. When the thin drying rods 13 are arranged at intervals, each limiting member extends and straightens accordingly. When the thin drying rods 13 are gathered together, each limiting member bends and deforms. It is understood that elongated grooves 27 are formed on the opposite end faces of the two auxiliary rods 12. The two ends of the thin drying rods 13 extend into the elongated grooves 27 and slide into them. Multiple thin drying rods 13 are provided, and the ends of each thin drying rod 13 are connected in sequence by limiting members. The storage part is used to limit the position of each thin drying rod 13 when they are dispersed, and to guide the storage part itself and the limiting members to bend and deform toward the inside of the auxiliary rods 12 when they are gathered together, so as not to partially or completely extend outside the auxiliary rods 12, thereby preventing jamming and entanglement between the components.

[0024] The drying rod has a buckle at its end, which secures the thin drying rod 13 closest to the drying rod. The drying rod further includes a main rod 11, with openings at both ends of the main rod 11. The buckle is correspondingly positioned within these openings and includes a locking block 28, which is connected to the thin drying rod 13.

[0025] It is understandable that, such as Figure 6 As shown, the aforementioned locking block 28 is a protruding block-shaped structure at the end of the main rod 11, used to fix the thin drying rods 13 near the side of the main rod 11, and also to define the starting position of each thin drying rod 13 when it spreads out.

[0026] The limiting component includes a connecting rope 22, with both ends of the connecting rope 22 respectively installed on two adjacent thin drying rods 13. The storage part includes a weight ball 23, which is located at the middle of the connecting rope 22 and is made of metal; when the connecting rope 22 is relaxed, the weight ball 23 hangs down naturally under gravity.

[0027] Understandably, by Figure 5As shown, each thin drying rod 13 is connected by a connecting rope 22. The connecting rope 22 is a conventional soft rope structure. Without the weight ball 23, it may extend beyond the auxiliary rod 12 due to the lack of restraint, which may cause jamming or entanglement. However, with the weight ball 23, since the weight ball 23 is made of metal, it can exert a real-time descent force on the connecting rope 22 when it is in a free state by its own weight. This prevents the connecting rope 22 from extending beyond the auxiliary rod 12 and ensures the position of the connecting rope 22.

[0028] The drying rack assembly includes two main rods 11 arranged along the length direction and two rod seats connecting the two main rods 11 along the width direction. The two main rods 11 and the two rod seats are combined to form a rectangular frame. The auxiliary rods 12 slide inside the main rods 11 and can extend from both ends of the main rods 11. Side seats 14 are installed at the ends of the two auxiliary rods 12 on the same side, and a thin drying rod 13 near the side seat 14 is fixedly installed to the side seat 14.

[0029] It is understandable that the combination of the main rod 11 and the rod seat is a conventional component combination in a clothes drying rack. The side seat 14 is located at the end of the auxiliary rod 12 away from the main rod 11. The user can pull out the two auxiliary rods 12 simultaneously by pulling the side seat 14. At this time, since the thin drying rods 13 on the side closer to the side seat 14 are fixedly set with the side seat 14, the thin drying rods 13 are evenly distributed when the side seat 14 is pulled away from the main rod 11.

[0030] The end of the thin drying rod 13 is provided with a rod head 21. The auxiliary rod 12 is hollow and the hollow cavity of the auxiliary rod 12 is connected to the long groove 27. The rod head 21 extends into the hollow cavity and is installed with the limiting member.

[0031] It is understood that the aforementioned auxiliary rod 12 is hollow, and the hollow cavity is used to accommodate the rod head 21, the connecting rope 22, and the drop ball 23. The hollow cavity has at least vertical space to allow for the downward displacement of the drop ball 23, thereby effectively storing the connecting rope 22 vertically. Furthermore, the hollow cavity is connected to the elongated groove 27, allowing the thin drying rod 13 to pass through the groove 27 and extend into the hollow cavity.

[0032] The hollow cavity is provided with a limiting groove 24, which is distributed on the upper and lower sides. The limiting groove 24 on the upper and lower sides is provided with an opening facing the opposite side. The end of the thin drying rod 13 is also provided with a positioning piece 25, which extends into the limiting groove 24 on the upper and lower sides respectively. The positioning piece 25 is slidably disposed with the limiting groove 24.

[0033] The end of the thin drying rod 13 is also provided with a limiting post 26, the diameter of which is greater than the distance between the limiting grooves 24 on the upper and lower sides.

[0034] It is understood that the aforementioned rod head 21, positioning plate 25, and limiting post 26 are sequentially arranged starting from the end of the thin drying rod 13. The rod head 21 extends into the sub-rod 12, while the positioning plate 25 is slidably disposed with the limiting groove 24 to limit the position of the thin drying rod 13, allowing the thin drying rods 13 to slide together and disperse. The limiting post 26 prevents the entire thin drying rod 13 from extending into the sub-rod 12 and causing damage when the positioning plate 25 disengages from the limiting groove 24.

[0035] Furthermore, the limiting groove 24 is a guide rail structure with corresponding upper and lower sides, and the vertical direction is a partition structure to limit the lateral displacement of the positioning piece 25, thereby limiting the lateral displacement of the entire thin drying rod 13. Specific Implementation Example 2: Please refer to Figure 10-13 A clothes drying rack rod connecting device includes: The drying rod assembly is arranged in the form of a rectangular frame structure. The two drying rods in the length direction are provided with a hanging groove structure for hanging clothes. The side ends of the two drying rods are provided with a secondary rod 12 that can be extended and retracted. The secondary rod 12 is provided with a long groove 27 that runs horizontally along its length. The long groove 27 has an opening facing the opposite side of the secondary rod 12. Between the two opposite secondary rods 12, there are several thin drying rods 13 that can slide within the long groove 27. Each thin drying rod 13 is connected to a limiting member located within the secondary rod 12. The limiting member is provided with a storage part that can deform to one side. The deformation direction of the storage part does not include the direction facing the opening of the long groove 27. When each of the thin drying rods 13 is placed at intervals, each of the limiting members extends and straightens accordingly; When each of the thin drying rods 13 is brought together, each of the limiting members bends and deforms; The end of the drying rod is provided with a buckle, which secures the thin drying rod 13 closest to the side of the drying rod.

[0036] The limiting component includes a connecting wide rope 31, the two ends of which are respectively installed on two adjacent thin drying rods 13. The storage part includes a flat extension structure of the connecting wide rope 31; when the two thin drying rods 13 approach each other, the flat body is squeezed and irregularly bent and deformed in the vertical direction.

[0037] Unlike Specific Embodiment 1, as Figure 11 As shown, the connecting rope 31, rather than the combination of the connecting rope 22 and the drop ball 23, is used to connect the two clubheads 21. The flat extension of the connecting rope 31 is used for storage. In short, the connecting rope 31 is a horizontal, flat body. When the clubheads 21 are brought together, the connecting rope 31 can only bend in a vertical direction, such as upwards or downwards. Therefore, when the connecting rope 31 bends, it will not pass through the long groove 27 and extend beyond the auxiliary member 12.

[0038] It should be noted that, as Figure 15 As shown, the conventional rope structure used to connect the thin drying rod 13 is a thin rope 32. Since the thin rope 32 is usually made of soft material, when the two thin drying rods 13 are close to each other, the thin rope 32 will lose its restraint and may extend beyond the auxiliary rod 12, causing jamming or tangling, which greatly affects the user experience.

[0039] In summary, the connecting rope 22 and the weight ball 23 in Specific Embodiment 1, as well as the connecting wide rope 31 in Specific Embodiment 2, can prevent themselves from detaching from the auxiliary rod 12, thereby preventing jamming or entanglement of the auxiliary rod 12 or other components such as the thin drying rod 13. This further improves the stability of the sliding convergence and dispersion of each thin drying rod 13, greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be embraced within this application. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. Furthermore, it is clear that the word "comprising" does not exclude other units or steps, and the singular does not exclude the plural. Multiple units or devices recited in the apparatus claims may also be implemented by a single unit or device in software or hardware. The terms "first," "second," etc., are used to indicate names and do not indicate any particular order.
