[0002] Clothes drying racks are becoming increasingly common in modern homes. The main unit of the clothes drying rack is connected to the drying mechanism via a traction rope. When drying is no longer needed, the drying mechanism moves upward to free up space below, and at the same time, the drying rod on the drying mechanism is stored to free up more space. However, the existing technology has the following problems when storing the drying rod: the structure is complex and inconvenient to operate; and the stored drying rod cannot be completely hidden, still taking up space and having poor aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a clothes drying mechanism on a clothes drying rack that is easy to store the drying rod and does not take up any space after being stored.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is the drying mechanism on the clothes drying rack, including a main unit fixedly connected to the ceiling. The main unit is connected to a drying mechanism via a traction rope. The drying mechanism includes two parallel longitudinal rods and two parallel transverse rods, with the two longitudinal rods fixedly connected via the two transverse rods. Two mounting plates are fixedly connected to the two ends of the longitudinal rods respectively. Two mounting columns are fixedly connected to the mounting plates. It also includes a first connecting piece with an opening that extends along the length of the first connecting piece to form an elongated hole, through which the mounting columns pass. The first connecting piece is rotatably connected to a second connecting piece, which is connected to the end of the drying rod. The length of the first connecting piece is greater than the length of the second connecting piece. The upper sides of the mounting plate are respectively provided with spaces for setting the drying rod, and the spaces are directly above the longitudinal rods. When storing the drying rod, the second connecting piece is rotated to vertically push the first connecting piece to move towards the center, placing the drying rod in the space. When using the drying rod, the first connecting piece is pulled outward and rotated downward, causing the drying rod to move downward as well.

[0005] The length of the second connecting piece of this utility model is the same as the height of the mounting plate.

[0006] The mounting plate of this utility model has an end cap on its outer side. The end cap is detachably connected to the mounting plate, and there is a first gap between the end cap and the mounting plate to accommodate the first connecting piece.

[0007] When the present invention is stored, the drying rod is positioned directly above the longitudinal rod, and there is a second gap between the drying rod and the longitudinal rod.

[0008] The first or second connecting piece of this utility model includes a metal sheet and a plastic sheet that is tightly attached to the metal sheet. The plastic sheet has protruding edges on both sides along its length, and the metal sheet is located inside the two protruding edges.

[0009] The first connecting piece of this invention has a first hole at one end near the second connecting piece, and the second connecting piece has a second hole at one end near the first connecting piece. The rivet passes through the first hole and the second hole to rotatably connect the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a first connecting piece and a second connecting piece for rotatable connection. When using the drying rod, the first connecting piece is pulled outward and rotated downward, causing the drying rod to move downward as well. When storing the drying rod, the second connecting piece rotates to a vertical position and pushes the first connecting piece towards the center, placing the drying rod in an empty space. The drying rod is easy to operate during storage and is placed in an empty space after storage, taking up no space and being aesthetically pleasing. Attached Figure Description

The main unit 1 is connected to a drying mechanism 3 via a traction rope 2. The drying mechanism 3 includes two parallel longitudinal rods 31 and two parallel transverse rods 32, with the two longitudinal rods 31 fixedly connected via the two transverse rods 32. Two mounting plates 33 are fixedly connected to both ends of each longitudinal rod 31. Two mounting posts 34 are fixedly connected to each mounting plate 33. The drying mechanism 3 also includes a first connecting piece 41, which has an opening 411 that extends along the length of the first connecting piece 41 to form an elongated hole. The mounting posts 34 pass through the opening 411. The first connecting piece 41 is rotatably connected to a second... The connecting piece 42 is connected to the end of the drying rod 5; the length of the first connecting piece 41 is greater than the length of the second connecting piece 42; the upper part of the mounting plate 33 has two openings 331 on both sides for setting the drying rod 5, and the openings 331 are directly above the longitudinal rod 31; when storing the drying rod 5, the second connecting piece 42 is rotated to vertically push the first connecting piece 41 to move towards the center to place the drying rod 5 in the opening 331; when using the drying rod 5, the first connecting piece 41 is pulled outward and rotated downward to move the drying rod 5 to the bottom; the drying rod 5 is easy to operate during storage and is located in the opening 331 after storage, which does not occupy space and is aesthetically pleasing.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the second connecting piece 42 is the same as the height of the mounting plate 33. In this embodiment, because the length of the second connecting piece 42 is the same as the height of the mounting plate 33, when the drying rod 5 is stored, the vertically arranged second connecting piece 42 is at the same height as the mounting plate 33, and the drying rod 5 connected to the second connecting piece 42 is also at the same height as the mounting plate, thus making reasonable use of space.
