[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a clothes drying rack and a clothes drying machine using it, aiming to optimize the structure of the clothes drying rack and solve the problem of complex structure with many assembly parts.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the clothes drying rack proposed in this utility model includes: A support rod having a bottom wall, at least one side of which is provided with a side wall bent along its edge, the end of which is bent toward the inside of the support rod to form a flange, and the flange is provided with a connecting hole; A drying rod, one side of which is fitted against the flanged portion, and the drying rod having mounting holes corresponding to the connecting holes; and Fasteners, which pass through the mounting holes and the connecting holes, to securely connect the drying rod to the support rod.

[0006] In one embodiment, the support rod includes a first side wall and a second side wall formed by bending the bottom wall on opposite sides along the length of the clothes rack. The ends of the first side wall and the second side wall are bent toward each other along the length of the clothes rack at their ends in the width direction to form a first flange and a second flange. Both the first flange and the second flange are provided with connecting holes.

[0007] In one embodiment, a pre-positioning structure is provided between the drying rod and the support rod. The pre-positioning structure includes a positioning part on the drying rod and a connecting part on the support rod. The positioning part and the connecting part cooperate to achieve the pre-positioning of the drying rod and the support rod.

[0008] In one embodiment, the connecting portion is configured as a connecting protrusion, which is disposed on the bottom wall; the positioning portion is a positioning groove, and the connecting protrusion is inserted into the positioning groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, at least two positioning slots are provided at intervals along the length of the clothes rack.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first or second side wall of the support rod is provided with a hanging groove for mounting the hanging head of the hanging rope.

[0011] In one embodiment, the hanging groove is provided on the second side wall of the support rod, and the hanging groove includes a connected horizontal groove section and a vertical groove section; the end of the horizontal groove section is provided with a connected clearance hole, the size of which is larger than the size of the hanging head so that the hanging head can enter the hanging groove; the hanging head is abutted and fixed to the vertical groove section, and the hanging rope passes through the vertical groove section.

[0012] In one embodiment, the hanging groove is located in the middle of the support rod and near the upper edge in the width direction of the clothes rack.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first flange and the second flange are provided with a boss that protrudes along the thickness direction of the flange at the connecting hole, the connecting hole passes through the boss, and the thickness of the boss is greater than the thickness of the flange body.

[0014] In one embodiment, the support rod has a groove extending along the width of the clothes rack for mounting a slider of the telescopic assembly.

[0015] This utility model also proposes a clothes drying rack, comprising: Host; The clothes rack as described above; and A telescopic assembly connects the support rod and the main unit; the main unit can control the raising and lowering of the clothes rack.

[0016] This utility model's technical solution utilizes metal sheets (such as steel or iron plates) to process them into sheet metal support rods. The bent and flanged ends of the support rods (replacing embedded parts) are directly fixed to the drying rods using fasteners, leveraging the inherent strength of the sheet metal to meet load-bearing requirements. Sheet metal processing allows for on-demand forming, reducing cutting waste from aluminum extrusion and lowering material costs. Sheet metal (such as steel or iron) has higher strength than plastic inner tube clamps, and combined with flanged connecting holes, it offers superior connection stability and enhanced structural strength and reliability. Compared to previous solutions, this solution eliminates inner tube clamps and embedded parts, reducing components and lowering procurement and inventory costs. This simplifies the process from "multi-part assembly" to "fastener fixing," shortening assembly time and improving production line efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] A clothes drying rack is a frame structure used for drying clothes. It consists of a drying rod and a support rod, forming a frame structure. It is typically installed on a suspended balcony. Some designs include a telescopic system, allowing the clothes rack to move up and down relative to the ceiling to free up space when not in use, and for easy hanging and retrieving when needed.

[0025] However, in existing solutions, the clothes drying rod and support rod cannot be directly connected (due to the cutting of aluminum profiles). They need to be connected using plastic pipe clamps and metal inserts. Typically, the pipe clamps and metal inserts are placed on the support rod, and fasteners are used for fixation. But every technology yearns for progress.

[0026] Taking a scissor-type telescopic clothes drying rack as an example, the drying rack includes a main unit (which can integrate lighting / disinfection light sources), a telescopic component, and a clothes rack connected to the main unit via the telescopic component. The clothes rack has a frame structure with a central passageway for the light source.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 In the traditional solution, the support rod is made of aluminum profile extrusion molding, and the end can only be cut off; therefore, the drying rod and the support rod need to be connected by a pipe clamp that acts as an intermediate connector. In order to avoid scratches, the pipe clamp is made of plastic, so a metal insert is needed to connect with the bolt.

[0028] Due to the mature extrusion process and controllable cost of aluminum profiles, which are suitable for mass production of elongated structures such as support rods, aluminum profiles have become a commonly used material for support rods. The process of "extrusion molding + end cutting" has formed an inertial cognition in the industry, leading most designers to default that "support rod = aluminum profile" and ignore the possibility of material replacement. Therefore, the connection structure of "inner tube clamp + embedded part + bolt" in traditional solutions has become a necessary design (aluminum profiles cannot directly form complex interfaces, so inner tube clamps and embedded parts are required).

[0029] However, the inventor has realized that inner tube clamps and embedded parts are actually compensatory measures for defects generated by adopting the aluminum profile process (plastic inner tube clamps prevent scratches, and metal embedded parts compensate for strength).

[0030] To this end, the present utility model proposes a clothes drying rack, which aims to optimize the structure of the clothes drying rack and solve the problem of complex structure caused by too many assembled parts.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the clothes drying rack includes a support rod 100 and a drying rod 200 connected by a fastener 300. For example, a single support rod 100 and two drying rods 200 form an "H" combination or an "F" combination. For example, a single support rod 100 and a single drying rod 200 form a "⊥" combination. Of course, the support rod 100 and the drying rod 200 can also be combined in other numbers, which will not be repeated herein.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clothes drying rack is a frame structure composed of two drying rods 200 and two support rods 100. The drying rods 200 extend along the length direction of the clothes drying rack, and the length of the drying rods 200 is greater than that of the support rods 100; the support rods 100 extend along the width direction of the clothes drying rack, and the two support rods 100 are respectively connected to the ends of the two drying rods 200 to form a rectangular frame. Of course, in other embodiments, the lengths of the drying rods 200 and the support rods 100 can also be the same.

[0033] Further, the support rod has a bottom wall, and at least one side of the bottom wall is provided with a side wall bent along the edge of the bottom wall.

[0034] In one embodiment, the support rod 100 has a bottom wall 110 extending along the width direction of the clothes rack, a first side wall 120 and a second side wall 130 formed by bending from the bottom wall 110 in the front-back direction, the front-back direction being perpendicular to the width direction of the clothes rack. The ends of the first side wall 120 and the second side wall 130 in the width direction of the clothes rack are bent towards each other along the length direction of the clothes rack to form a first flange 121 and a second flange 131. Both the first flange 121 and the second flange 131 are provided with connecting holes 140. Two drying rods 200 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the support rod 100. Each drying rod 200 is provided with a mounting hole 210 corresponding to the connecting hole 140. Fasteners 300 pass through the mounting holes 210 of the drying rods 200 and the connecting holes 140 of the support rod 100 to fix the support rod 100 and the drying rods 200 together.

[0035] In another embodiment, the support rod has a bottom wall, one side of which is provided with a side wall bent along its edge (such as only having a first side wall 120 or a second side wall 130). The end of the side wall (first side wall 120 or second side wall 130) is bent toward the inside of the support rod to form a flange (a first flange 121 corresponding to the first side wall 120, or a second flange 131 corresponding to the second side wall 130). The flange is provided with a connecting hole. That is, the bottom wall of the support rod and at least one side wall are "L" shaped, the flange is formed by bending the end of the side wall, the end of the drying rod fits into the flange, and the drying rod is provided with a mounting hole corresponding to the connecting hole. Fasteners (bolts, etc.) pass through the mounting hole and the connecting hole to fix the drying rod to the support rod.

[0036] The support rod 100 is made of sheet metal through sheet metal processing. Specifically, the support rod 100 is made of thin sheet metal through sheet metal cold processing. Sheet metal processing is a comprehensive cold processing technology for thin sheet metal, including shearing, punching / cutting / composite processing, bending, welding, riveting, splicing, and forming. The support rod 100 has a bottom wall 110 extending along its own length direction (the width direction of the clothes rack), a first side wall 120 and a second side wall 130 formed by bending from the bottom wall 110 along the front-back direction (the length direction of the clothes rack). The first side wall 120 and the second side wall 130 are bent towards each other at their ends along the width direction (perpendicular to the front-back direction) to form a first flange 121 and a second flange 131. Both the first flange 121 and the second flange 131 are provided with connecting holes 140. Compared to the traditional aluminum profile solution for the clothes rack 200, this eliminates the need for an inner tube clamp, allowing the clothes rack 200 to be directly connected to the support rod 100 via fasteners 300.

[0037] Reference Figure 3The support rod 100 is formed by bending a bottom wall 110, front / rear side walls, and opposing bends in the flange. The connecting hole 140 on the flange provides a foundation for the subsequent fastener 300 connection. Two drying rods 200 are respectively located on opposite sides of the support rod 100. Each drying rod 200 has a mounting hole 210 corresponding to the connecting hole 140. The support rod 100 and the drying rod 200 are fixedly connected by fasteners 300 passing through the mounting hole 210 and the connecting hole 140. The support rod 100 is directly connected to the drying rod 200 through the first flange 121 and the second flange 131, without the need for additional intermediate connectors. The connecting holes 140 on the first flange 121 and the second flange 131... The flange is provided with 40 reinforcing structures that protrude along the thickness direction of the flange. The reinforcing structures are integrally formed with the flange by sheet metal stamping. Specifically, the flange surface at the edge of the connecting hole 140 protrudes to the side away from the drying rod 200 to form a boss 160. The connecting hole 140 passes through the boss 160, and the thickness of the boss 160 is greater than the thickness of the flange body. The structural strength at the connecting hole 140 is enhanced by local thickening to prevent the flange surface from deforming or cracking due to stress concentration when the fastener 300 is connected, thus ensuring the connection strength.

[0038] In one embodiment, the clothes rack 200 is connected to a telescopic component, such as a scissor type. The telescopic component is connected to a fixing device, which is fixed to the building (such as a ceiling or wall). This allows the clothes rack to extend and retract vertically. The specific structural form of the telescopic component can refer to existing solutions and is not the focus of improvement, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0039] Of course, existing solutions usually also include a hanging rope (steel wire rope) to suspend the drying pole at 200mm.

[0040] In another embodiment, the difference from the previous embodiment is that only a hanging rope (such as a steel wire rope) is provided for hanging; of course, the clothes rack can also be moved up and down by the hanging rope to make room when not in use; and to make it convenient to hang / retrieve when in use.

[0041] Specifically, fastener 300 uses bolts for fixed connection via thread. Alternatively, it can be a pin with a tapered head that, after deformation and insertion, abuts against and limits the connection between the two.

[0042] This utility model's technical solution utilizes metal sheets (such as steel or iron plates) to process a sheet metal product, resulting in a support rod 100. The two ends of the support rod 100 are bent and flanged, and threaded holes are tapped (replacing embedded parts) to directly fix it to the drying rod 200 using fasteners 300. The sheet metal's inherent strength meets the load-bearing requirements. Sheet metal stamping allows for on-demand forming, reducing cutting waste after aluminum profile extrusion and lowering material costs. Sheet metal (such as steel or iron) has higher strength than plastic inner tube clamps, and with the flanged connecting holes 140, connection stability is superior, enhancing structural strength and reliability. Eliminating the inner tube clamp and embedded parts reduces the number of components, decreasing procurement and inventory costs. This simplifies the process from "multi-part assembly" to "fastener 300 fixation," shortening assembly time and improving production line efficiency.

[0043] In summary, compared with the traditional solution, this solution unlocks the technological advantages of stamping and bending by switching the material from aluminum profiles to sheet metal, and has at least the following advantages: 1. Component integration (using the sheet metal structure itself to replace independent parts); 2. Simplified assembly (reducing manual steps); 3. Cost and reliability (reducing material consumption and increasing strength).

[0044] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 To achieve quick alignment and temporary fixation of the support rod 100 and the drying rod 200, thereby improving installation convenience and efficiency, a pre-positioning structure is provided between the drying rod 200 and the support rod 100. This pre-positioning structure includes a positioning part 220 on the drying rod 200 and a connecting part 111 on the support rod 100. The positioning part 220 and the connecting part 111 cooperate to achieve the pre-positioning of the drying rod 200 and the support rod 100.

[0045] In one embodiment, the positioning part 220 is a positioning groove, and the connecting part 111 is a connecting protrusion adapted to the positioning groove, the connecting protrusion being inserted into the positioning groove.

[0046] The positioning groove is formed in the end area where the drying rod 200 connects to the support rod 100, specifically located directly below or near the inner wall of the mounting hole 210 of the drying rod 200 (along the length of the drying rod 200). The mounting hole 210 is the location for fastener 300 connection. The positioning groove near the mounting hole 210 ensures that after pre-positioning, the connection hole 140 / mounting hole 210 of the support rod 100 and the drying rod 200 are quickly aligned, reducing hole misalignment during assembly. If the end of the drying rod 200 has two mounting holes 210 (distributed at intervals along the width direction), a positioning groove is formed directly below each mounting hole 210, forming a one-to-one correspondence between the mounting hole 210 and the positioning groove.

[0047] The connecting protrusions are integrally formed on the bottom wall 110 of the support rod 100 (on the side facing the drying rod 200), corresponding one-to-one with the positioning grooves of the drying rod 200. The flanged part of the support rod 100 is the part that directly fits with the drying rod 200. The protrusions on the bottom wall 110 can be directly inserted into the positioning grooves of the drying rod 200 without the need for additional extension structures, ensuring a tight connection. For example, if the bottom wall 110 of the support rod 100 has two connecting protrusions (corresponding to the positioning grooves below the mounting holes 210 of the drying rod 200), the protrusions are slightly smaller than the positioning grooves to avoid interference fits that could lead to assembly difficulties.

[0048] Specifically, the positioning grooves are spaced apart along the length of the clothes rack. This prevents rotation or tilting of the drying rod 200 and the support rod 100 during assembly, ensuring stable pre-positioning. The groove opening is rectangular or trapezoidal (trapezoidal groove opening facilitates insertion and guidance of the protrusion), and the groove width is 0.5-1mm larger than the width of the connecting protrusion (to allow for assembly clearance). The protrusion is cuboid or semi-cylindrical (to avoid sharp edges scratching the drying rod 200), facilitating guidance when inserted into the positioning groove and reducing assembly resistance. During assembly, the connecting protrusion of the bottom wall 110 of the support rod 100 is inserted into the positioning groove of the drying rod 200, achieving rapid pre-positioning of the support rod 100 and the drying rod 200. Subsequently, the fastener 300 passes through the mounting hole 210 / connecting hole 140 to complete the fixation.

[0049] In another embodiment, the positioning part 220 and the connecting part 111 are interchanged; that is, the drying rod 200 has a protrusion and the support rod 100 has a groove. The protrusion of the drying rod 200 is inserted into the groove of the support rod 100, and the inner wall of the groove restricts the displacement of the protrusion to achieve pre-positioning. When the drying rod 200 is made of a thicker sheet metal material, this solution utilizes the strength of the drying rod 200 itself to bear the force of the protrusion.

[0050] In another embodiment, a cylindrical protrusion is provided at the end of the drying rod 200, and a circular concave hole (the hole diameter is 0.3-0.5mm larger than the diameter of the protrusion) is opened at the corresponding position on the flange of the support rod 100. The protrusion is inserted into the concave hole to achieve pre-positioning. The circular concave hole can be directly formed by stamping (without complex bending), and the protrusion can be processed by sheet metal stretching process, which is suitable for mass production.

[0051] In another embodiment, the flange of the support rod 100 is provided with an elastic buckle (formed by bending after sheet metal stamping, with the ability to undergo slight deformation), and the end of the buckle is in the shape of a barb; a corresponding slot is opened on the drying rod 200 (the width of the slot is smaller than the width of the buckle barb). During assembly, the elastic buckle is deformed by compression and passes through the slot, the barb springs open and engages with the edge of the slot, achieving "insertion and positioning", and can be temporarily fixed without the need for additional fasteners 300.

[0052] In another embodiment, when the connecting surfaces of the drying rod 200 and the support rod 100 are flat and fitted (without the requirement for hole alignment), the end of the drying rod 200 is provided with an inclined guide surface (inclination angle 10°-20°), and the corresponding position of the flange of the support rod 100 is provided with an inclined surface that fits against the guide surface, and a limiting boss 160 (height 2-3mm) is provided at the end of the guide surface. During assembly, the inclined surface of the support rod 100 slides along the guide surface of the drying rod 200 until the limiting boss 160 abuts against the end of the drying rod 200, limiting the excessive insertion of the support rod 100. At the same time, the inclined surface fit achieves horizontal pre-positioning (temporarily fixed by friction), achieving coarse pre-positioning and simplifying the structure (no need to open slots / holes).

[0053] Clothes drying racks typically come equipped with a 400mm scissor hook and a steel wire rope. (See reference) Figure 1 In the traditional solution, the wire rope is connected to a hook fastener, which is a separate part and needs to be pre-installed on the aluminum support rod 100. Based on the solution of using a sheet metal support rod 100, there are two options for installing the wire rope: one is to retain the original hook fastener method, and the other is to eliminate the hook fastener.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 To reduce the number of parts, simplify assembly, and lower costs, in this embodiment, the first side wall 120 or the second side wall 130 of the support rod 100 is provided with a hanging groove 150, which is used for installing the hanging head of the hanging rope. The hanging groove 150 is formed directly on the side (front or rear) of the support rod 100 using a sheet metal integral molding process, unlike traditional aluminum profile support rods 100 (which can only be extruded with a fixed cross-section and cannot integrally form complex structures). This makes the hanging groove 150 an integral part of the support rod 100 structure, rather than an additional component. The hanging groove 150 directly assumes the function of the original independent hook—providing the "hanging head" of the hanging rope (such as the metal connector or hook at the end of a wire rope) for installation and fixation. Due to the high strength of the sheet metal material itself (especially steel or thick aluminum plates), the edges of the hanging groove 150 can be bent and flanged (to increase thickness) or rounded (to distribute stress) to ensure the load-bearing capacity of the hanging part, without the need for additional metal inserts or reinforcements.

[0055] Reference Figure 5Specifically, the hanging groove 150 is located on the second side wall 130 of the support rod 100. The hanging groove 150 has an L-shape with a connected horizontal groove section 151 and a vertical groove section 152. The end of the horizontal groove section 151 has a clearance hole 153, the size of which is larger than the size of the hanging head to allow the hanging head to enter the hanging groove 150. The hanging head is abutted and fixed to the vertical groove section 152, and the hanging rope passes through the vertical groove section 152. The design of the L-shaped hanging groove 150 (horizontal groove section 151 + vertical groove section 152 + clearance hole 153) is not a simple shape optimization, but rather achieves rapid installation and anti-detachment fixation of the hanging head through "step-by-step limiting". The clearance hole 153 is located at the end of the transverse groove section 151 and is larger than the hanging head (e.g., the diameter / width is 2-5mm larger than the hanging head). As the "entrance" of the hanging head, it allows the hanging head (usually a round or square metal block) to be quickly placed into the groove without precise alignment, reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0056] The horizontal groove 151 connects the clearance hole 153 and the vertical groove 152, allowing the hanging head to slide horizontally into the groove through the clearance hole 153 to achieve initial positioning (preventing the hanging head from falling directly out of the groove).

[0057] The vertical groove section 152 is vertically connected to the horizontal groove section 151. After the hanging head slides horizontally in, it naturally sinks to the vertical groove section 152 under the tension of the wire rope. The groove wall fits tightly with the hanging head, ultimately achieving "mechanical locking". This solves the problem of "difficult installation when the hanging head size is larger than the groove opening" (access is made through the clearance hole 153), and also prevents the hanging head from falling off due to vibration or tension during use through horizontal and vertical vertical limiting, thus meeting the dual requirements of "easy installation" and "anti-loosening".

[0058] Traditional individual hooks rely on bolts for fixing, which may loosen due to vibration over long-term use. In contrast, the L-shaped hanging groove 150 and the support rod 100 are integrally formed without connecting nodes, resulting in higher structural strength and the ability to withstand greater rope tension (such as dynamic loads when drying heavy items). The hanging groove 150 and support rod 100 are stamped simultaneously, reducing the need for mold development, procurement, and inventory management for individual hooks. The dimensions of the clearance hole 153 and the transverse groove section 151 can be designed according to common hook head specifications (such as round, square, D-shaped, etc.), offering better compatibility than fixed-size individual hooks and improving product versatility.

[0059] If a scissor bracket 400 needs to be installed on the clothes rack support rod 100, it can be provided with a groove. That is, the support rod 100 has a sliding groove extending along the width direction of the clothes rack, and the sliding groove is used for the installation of the slider of the telescopic component. The second side wall 130 is also provided with a fixing hole located below the hanging groove 150, and the fixing hole is used for fasteners 300 to pass through for the installation and fixing of the telescopic scissor bracket 400.

[0060] In this way, clothes racks can be applied to clothes drying machines to achieve intelligent control.

[0061] Therefore, this utility model also proposes a clothes drying rack, which includes a clothes rack. The specific structure of the clothes rack is as described in the above embodiments. Since this clothes drying rack adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. The structure of the clothes drying rack mainly includes a clothes rack, a scissor frame 400, and a main unit. The main unit (core drive unit) undertakes the core drive function: it has a built-in motor and a winding drum, which controls the raising and lowering of the clothes drying rod by winding the steel wire rope. It integrates a control system and an operation panel, supporting electric raising and lowering. Of course, the main unit can also integrate a lighting / disinfection light source. The scissor frame 400 is composed of multiple sets of X-shaped cross-hinged metal plates, which achieve smooth raising and lowering of the clothes drying rod through telescopic movement.

[0062] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
