Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household goods technology, and in particular to a drying cabinet structure integrated into the side of a balcony cabinet that can hide clothes. Background Technology

[0002] In cities with towering buildings, many apartment layouts only have one balcony, often next to the living room. The living room, as a relatively public area of ​​the home, is frequently used to entertain relatives and friends. Since we wash our underwear every day and need to dry it on the balcony, we need a product that can both dry clothes without affecting the drying process and conceal private clothing. The concealable drying cabinet structure designed in this project helps people hide private clothing between the balcony glass and the cabinet, solving the drying problem and avoiding embarrassment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the issues of exposed and unsightly clothes drying in existing technologies, this invention provides a concealable drying cabinet structure. This structure cleverly utilizes the side space of the balcony cabinet, employing a pull-out design to achieve the retractable concealment of the drying function. The core objective is to effectively hide intimate clothing between the cabinet and the balcony door (window), ensuring the drying function while completely resolving the visual embarrassment caused by exposure and making full use of sunlight.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: a concealable drying cabinet structure, characterized in that the cabinet structure comprises:

[0005] The cabinet includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and a back panel. One side of the cabinet is a side panel, and the other side is an open side. The top and bottom of the cabinet are respectively provided with an upper pull-out slide rail assembly and a lower pull-out slide rail assembly, which extend in the left-right direction.

[0006] The clothes drying frame is slidably connected at the top and bottom to an upper pull-out slide rail assembly and a lower pull-out slide rail assembly, so that it can be movably installed inside the cabinet. The clothes drying frame has a hidden state and a drying state. When it is in the hidden position, it is concealed inside the cabinet. When it is switched from the hidden state to the drying state, it slides out from the open side and extends to the outside of the cabinet.

[0007] A side cover is attached to one side of the clothes drying frame so that it covers the open side of the cabinet when the clothes drying frame is in a concealed state.

[0008] In some embodiments, the cabinet structure includes a door panel located on the front side of the cabinet, the door panel being fixedly connected to the clothes drying frame via a connector so that the door panel and the clothes drying frame slide synchronously.

[0009] In some embodiments, the clothes drying frame includes two parallel vertical support rods, the top and bottom of which are connected by a detachable horizontal connecting rod.

[0010] In some embodiments, the clothes drying frame is provided with multiple height-adjustable detachable hanging rods extending along its height direction.

[0011] In some embodiments, the vertical support rod has multiple sets of height-adjustable mounting holes, allowing the two ends of the hanging rod to be inserted into the mounting holes for positioning.

[0012] In some embodiments, the cabinet structure further includes a hanging clip with a hooking part at the top, which can be movably sleeved onto a hanging rod.

[0013] In some embodiments, the door panel is fixed to the clothes drying frame via a door-shaped connector.

[0014] In some embodiments, the slide rail assembly is a three-section ball bearing slide rail, which is fixed to the cabinet by countersunk screws.

[0015] In some embodiments, the back plate is provided with an array of ventilation holes with a diameter of 6-10 mm.

[0016] In some embodiments, the door panel is a glass panel.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] When the clothes drying frame retracts into the cabinet via the sliding rail assembly (in its concealed state), the side cover simultaneously closes the open side, completely concealing the clothes being dried within the space between the cabinet and the balcony glass (door / window). This design fundamentally prevents private clothing from being exposed to public views in the living room or other public areas, effectively protecting user privacy and significantly improving the tidiness and aesthetics of the balcony area, thus solving the core problem of visual embarrassment.

[0019] The single-sided open structure (the side without a side panel) ensures that the drying area receives ample sunlight from the balcony when the clothes rack is extended (in the drying position), greatly improving the efficiency of UV sterilization and the speed of natural drying. This design is integrated into the side of a standard balcony cabinet, making full use of the often-unused side space of the cabinet without occupying valuable balcony floor or overhead space. It is especially suitable for small apartments or families with only one balcony, maximizing space utilization. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] Please see Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides a concealable clothes drying cabinet structure, which includes a cabinet body 1, a clothes drying frame 2, and side cover panels 6. The clothes drying frame 2 is movably mounted on the cabinet body 1, and the side cover panels 6 are mounted on the clothes drying frame 2. The cabinet body 1 includes a top plate 11, a bottom plate 12, and a back plate 13, wherein the top plate 11 is located at the top of the cabinet body 1, the bottom plate 12 is located at the bottom of the cabinet body 1, and the back plate 13 is located at the back of the cabinet body 1. The left side of the cabinet body 1 is a side plate 14, and the other side forms an open side 15, which allows the clothes drying frame 2 to be moved out of the cabinet body 1. The top and bottom of the cabinet body 1 are connected. The upper pull-out slide rail assembly 3 and the lower pull-out slide rail assembly 4 are respectively provided, and the upper pull-out slide rail assembly 3 and the lower pull-out slide rail assembly 4 extend in the left and right direction; the top and bottom of the clothes drying frame 2 are slidably connected to the upper pull-out slide rail assembly 3 and the lower pull-out slide rail assembly 4. The clothes drying frame 2 is movably installed in the cabinet 1 by relying on the upper pull-out slide rail assembly 3 and the lower pull-out slide rail assembly 4. The top and bottom of the clothes drying frame 2 are fixedly connected to the inner rails 31 and 41 (or movable rails) of the upper and lower slide rail assemblies on the top and bottom plates of the cabinet 1, so that it can be smoothly pulled out along the slide rails.

[0028] The clothes drying frame 2 has a concealed state and a drying state. When in the concealed state, it is hidden inside the cabinet 1. When switching from the concealed state to the drying state, it slides out from the open side 15 and extends to the outside of the cabinet 1. The side cover 6 is connected to one side of the clothes drying frame 2. When the clothes drying frame 2 is in the concealed state, the side cover 6 closes to the open side 15 of the cabinet 1. When the clothes drying frame 2 is fully pushed into the cabinet 1 (concealed state), the side cover 6 precisely seals the open side 15 of the cabinet 1, making the cabinet 1 look intact and the clothes inside completely hidden.

[0029] The cabinet 1 structure includes a door panel 7 located on the front side of the cabinet 1. The door panel 7 is fixedly connected to the clothes drying frame 2 via a connector 8, allowing the door panel 7 and the clothes drying frame 2 to slide synchronously. Preferably, the door panel 7 is a glass plate. In this way, the user can directly operate the door panel 7 (pull or push) to synchronously move the entire clothes drying frame 2 along the slide rail, realizing the unfolding of the drying state or the retraction of the hidden state. The operation is intuitive, labor-saving, and the linkage is reliable.

[0030] In some embodiments, the clothes drying frame 2 mainly consists of two parallel vertical support rods 21. The top and bottom of the support rods 21 are fixed by detachable horizontal connecting rods 22 (such as screws) to form a basic frame structure. Several sets (multiple rows and columns) of mounting holes are provided along the height direction of the support rods 21. The two ends of multiple detachable hanging rods 23 are provided with protrusions 231, which can be inserted into mounting holes at different heights and positions on the support rods 21, so as to realize the flexible adjustment and detachability of the height of the hanging rods 23.

[0031] The cabinet body 1 also includes a hanging clip 24, with a hooking part 241 at the top, which can be movably attached to the hanging rod 22. The hanging clip 24 has a hook or ring at the top, allowing it to be easily attached to any hanging rod 23 of the clothes drying frame 2. The clip is used to hold the clothes. The hanging clip 24 can slide freely on the hanging rod 23, allowing users to flexibly adjust its position according to the size and quantity of clothes, achieving dense and orderly drying.

[0032] The door panel 7 is fixedly connected to the clothes drying frame 2 via the door-type connector 9. The slide rail assembly is a three-section ball bearing slide rail, which is fixed to the cabinet body 1 with countersunk screws.

[0033] The back panel 13 has an array of ventilation holes with a diameter of 6-10mm. The door panel 7 is made of glass.

[0034] When it's time to dry personal items, the user gently pulls the door panel 7 (glass panel) outwards. The door panel 7, via the connector 8, causes the entire clothes drying frame 2 to slide smoothly out from the open side 15 of the cabinet 1 until it is fully extended (drying position). At this point, the open side 15 design ensures the drying area is directly exposed to sunlight from the balcony. The user clips small items (such as underwear, socks, towels, etc.) to the clothes drying frame 2 with the clips 24 and hangs them on the appropriately sized hanging rods 23. The spacing of the hanging rods 23 and the position of the clips 24 can be adjusted flexibly according to the amount of clothing.

[0035] After the clothes are hung up, the user pushes the door panel 7 into the cabinet 1. The door panel 7, along with the clothes on it, smoothly slides into the cabinet 1 (in a concealed state). Once the clothes rack 2 is fully inside the cabinet 1, the side cover 6 installed on the clothes rack 2 automatically and tightly closes the open side 15 of the cabinet 1, restoring the cabinet 1 to its original appearance. At this point, all the clothes are completely hidden in the enclosed or semi-enclosed space between the cabinet 1 and the balcony glass (door / window). The ventilation holes on the back panel 13 ensure air circulation inside the cabinet, aiding in drying.
