Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of clothes drying equipment, and more particularly to a clip, a drying rod assembly, and a clothes drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology field, devices for drying clothes are usually equipped with clamping structures to secure the clothes. Currently, common clothespins generally adopt traditional lever-type opening and closing structures, whose working principle relies on elastic elements (such as springs) to provide a restoring force to maintain the clamping state. However, such clips have significant operational limitations in actual use: when the user needs to clamp the clothes, one hand must apply external force to press the opening and closing part of the clip to overcome the elastic resistance and open the clamping opening; at the same time, the other hand must simultaneously place the edge of the clothes into the clamping opening, and then release the pressing force to achieve the clamping action. This process requires the coordinated operation of both hands, which has the drawbacks of insufficient operational convenience and low operational efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a clip, a drying rod assembly, and a clothes drying machine that can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, a clamp includes a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm disposed opposite to each other.

Specifically, the first clamping part and the second clamping part are separated by the external force applied to the pushing part to overcome the elasticity of the first extension part; the first clamping part and the second clamping part are then engaged to clamp the object by the elasticity recovery of the first extension part.

When the pushing part is subjected to an external force for separating the first clamping part and the second clamping part, the limiting part cooperates with the anti-rotation part to prevent the clamp from rotating around the hinge part.

[0014] Optionally, the drying rod is provided with a buckle, and the first extension or the second extension is provided with a stabilizing groove that cooperates with the buckle. When the clip is unfolded relative to the drying rod, the buckle is engaged in the stabilizing groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0023] In the existing technology field, devices for drying clothes are usually equipped with clamping structures to secure the clothes. Currently, common clothespins generally use a traditional lever-type opening and closing structure, whose working principle relies on an elastic element (such as a spring) to provide a restoring force to maintain the clamping state. However, this type of clamp has significant operational limitations in practical use: When a user needs to clamp clothing, they must apply external force with one hand to press the opening and closing part of the clamp to overcome elastic resistance and open the clamping opening; at the same time, the other hand must simultaneously place the edge of the clothing into the clamping opening, and then release the pressing force to achieve the clamping action. This process requires coordinated operation of both hands, especially when drying large fabrics such as sheets and duvet covers, where the control of the force applied by one hand to the clamp and the positioning of the clothing by the other hand must be completed simultaneously, making the operation steps complicated.

[0024] In special scenarios such as high-altitude drying or narrow balconies, using both hands further increases the difficulty of use. For example, in confined spaces such as indoor balconies, using both hands is easily interfered with by the surrounding environment (such as railings or other items being dried), leading to reduced clamping efficiency.

[0025] The traditional two-handed operation mode of clamps leads to low drying efficiency.

[0026] In summary, the clips in current drying devices rely on the coordinated operation of both hands, resulting in significant technical bottlenecks in terms of ease of operation, adaptability to different scenarios, and efficiency of use. There is an urgent need to optimize the design through structural innovation to achieve single-handed operation.

[0027] To overcome the above technical problems, such as Figures 1-2 This application provides a clamp 10, including a first clamping arm 1 and a second clamping arm 2 arranged opposite to each other. The first clamping arm 1 includes a first fixing part 11, a first extension part 12, a first clamping part 13 and a pushing part 14 arranged in sequence. The second clamping arm 2 includes a second fixing part 21, a second extension part 22 and a second clamping part 23 arranged in sequence. The first fixing part 11 and the second fixing part 21 are fixedly connected. The first extension part 12 and the second extension part 22 are arranged opposite to each other and extend in the same direction away from the first fixing part 11 and the second fixing part 21. Specifically, the external force applied to the pushing part 14 overcomes the elasticity of the first extension part 12 to separate the first clamping part 13 and the second clamping part 23; the elasticity of the first extension part 12 restores, allowing the first clamping part 13 and the second clamping part 23 to cooperate and clamp the object. The first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 are arranged opposite to each other, either parallel or crossed.

[0028] Specifically, the clamp 10 provided in this application embodiment mainly includes a first clamping arm 1 and a second clamping arm 2. The first clamping arm 1 includes a first fixing part 11, a first extension part 12, a first clamping part 13, and a pushing part 14 connected in sequence. The first fixing part 11 is the basic connecting part of the entire first clamping arm 1, used to achieve a fixed connection with the second fixing part 21 of the second clamping arm 2; the first extension part 12 has a certain elasticity and can deform to generate elastic force when subjected to external force, which is the key structure for the clamp 10 to realize the opening and closing action; the first clamping part 13 is in direct contact with the clamped object and is responsible for cooperating with the second clamping part 23 to complete the clamping operation; the pushing part 14 is the point of application of external force, and by applying external force to this part, the opening action of the clamp 10 is triggered. The second clamping arm 2 includes a second fixing part 21, a second extension part 22, and a second clamping part 23. The second fixing part 21 is fixedly connected to the first fixing part 11, and together they form the connecting base of the clamp 10. The second extension part 22 and the first extension part 12 extend in the same direction relative to the fixing part, and play a role in assisting support and cooperating with the first extension part 12 to realize the opening and closing of the clamp 10. The second clamping part 23 cooperates with the first clamping part 13 to clamp the clamped object when the clamp 10 is closed.

[0029] The installation of the clip 10 mainly revolves around the connection between the first fixing part 11 and the second fixing part 21. During operation, it is necessary to maintain the fixed connection between the first fixing part 11 and the second fixing part 21. Common fixing methods include, but are not limited to, welding, riveting, or fastening with bolts and nuts. The entire clip 10 can also be a one-piece molded structure (such as injection molding or sheet metal forming). During specific installation, the appropriate fixing method can be selected according to the material of the clip 10 and the usage scenario. For example, for metal clips 10, welding and riveting can ensure the strength and stability of the connection; while for plastic clips 10, using bolts and nuts facilitates later maintenance and replacement. In practical applications, the fixed connection part of the clip 10 is usually connected to the corresponding part of a drying device (such as a clothes rack) to realize its drying function.

[0030] The clip 10 provided in this embodiment allows users to operate and hold clothing with one hand. In specific operation, it is combined with... Figure 6 Simply use one hand to grab the clothes to be dried, and apply external force to the pushing part 14 with the grabbed part of the clothes or directly with your fingers. This external force overcomes the elasticity of the first extension part 12, causing the first extension part 12 to elastically deform, which in turn causes the first clamping part 13 to separate from the second clamping part 23, and the clamp opens immediately. After the clamp opens, the user pushes the grabbed part of the clothes upward and accurately places it into the clamp. Then, the external force applied to the pushing part 14 is released. At this time, the first extension part 12 quickly recovers its deformation due to its own elasticity. The elasticity generated by this movement causes the first clamping part 13 to move towards the second clamping part 23. The two work closely together to clamp the clothes instantly. The entire operation is completed smoothly with one hand from opening to closing, significantly simplifying the operation process.

[0031] In summary, traditional clothes clips 10 require two hands, causing users to put down their clothes before operating the clips, a cumbersome process. The clip 10 of this application completely changes this. After grabbing the clothes with one hand, the user can directly push the push-abutment part 14 to open the clip without any additional action, then smoothly insert the clothes into the clip and clamp it. For example, when drying a shirt, the user holds the collar with one hand, gently pushes the push-abutment part 14 with the collar to open the clip 10, and then pushes the collar upwards. Releasing the hand, the clip 10 automatically clamps. The entire process can be completed with just one hand, significantly improving operational efficiency. On an indoor balcony, even in limited space, it can be operated flexibly with one hand, unaffected by the surrounding environment, easily completing the drying work. When drying clothes in bulk, the two-handed operation of traditional clothes clips 10 is time-consuming, while the clip 10 of this application allows the user to perform a continuous grab-open-clamp action with one hand, reducing the time wasted switching between hands and improving drying efficiency.

[0032] In one embodiment, the first extension 12 includes at least one first bend.

[0033] In this embodiment, at least one first bend in the first extension 12 can have a variety of shapes, such as a "Z" shape, an "S" shape, or multiple consecutive bends in a wave shape. The first fixing part 11, the first bend (one or more), the first clamping part 13, and the pushing part 14 are connected in series. The design of the first bend in the first extension 12 can further increase the elastic deformation stroke, which can ensure structural strength and efficiently generate elastic deformation under stress. In a specific structure, local reinforcement treatment can be performed at the bend, such as increasing the wall thickness at the bend, to ensure that fatigue fracture is not easily caused during frequent opening and closing, and to enhance its elastic recovery ability and deformation resistance.

[0034] When an external force is applied to the pushing part 14, the first bend, as the core area of ​​elastic deformation, has a unique bending structure that makes the force transmission path complex and efficient. Taking the "S"-shaped bend as an example, the external force first causes deformation at the first bend, and then the force is transmitted along the curve to the second bend, causing it to deform accordingly, achieving multi-angle and multi-directional elastic deformation. Compared with a straight structure, this step-by-step and multi-directional deformation method can achieve a larger clamp opening range with a smaller external force. During the force transmission process, the bending angle and shape of the bend determine the decomposition and conversion of the force. The optimized structure can maximize the conversion of external force into the power for clamp opening, reducing the force required for user operation. In addition, the design of the first bend further increases the elastic deformation stroke of the entire first extension 12, allowing the clamp to have a larger opening during operation, making it easier to clamp clothing of various thicknesses.

[0035] In one embodiment, the second extension 22 includes a second bend that corresponds one-to-one with the first bend, and the bend direction of the second bend is opposite to that of the first bend, so that the width of the clip 10 is constant along the extension direction of the first extension 12.

[0036] The width of the clip 10 refers to the distance between the outer walls of the first extension 12 and the outer walls of the first extension 12.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first bend of the first extension 12 and the second bend of the second extension 22 form a unique symmetrical complementary structure. The first bend and the second bend correspond one-to-one, and their bending directions are opposite. This design ensures that the width of the clip 10 remains constant along the extension direction of the first extension 12. Specifically, if the first bend bends to the left in a "Z" shape, the corresponding second bend bends to the right in a "Z" shape with the same bending angle and length. The two complement each other in space, not only creating a regular geometric shape in appearance but also achieving a clever balance in mechanical structure.

[0038] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first extension 12 includes a first rod 121, a second rod 122 and a third rod 123 connected in a zigzag pattern. The first fixing part 11 is connected to the end of the first rod 121 away from the second rod 122, and the first clamping part 13 is connected to the end of the third rod 123 away from the second rod 122.

[0039] In this context, a zigzag connection indicates that the two connecting parts form an angle with each other. For example, if the first extension 12 extends from top to bottom as a whole, then the upper end of the first rod 121 is connected to the first fixing part 11, and extends downward to connect to the second rod 122. The second rod 122 extends laterally or obliquely relative to the first rod 121 and connects to the third rod 123. The third rod 123 extends downward and connects to the first clamping part 13.

[0040] When the user applies external force to the pushing part 14, the three-bar structure of the first extension 12 undergoes coordinated elastic deformation. The first bar 121 bends initially under the force, transmitting the force to the second bar 122. Due to its lateral or inclined arrangement, the second bar 122 decomposes the force and changes the transmission direction, causing the third bar 123 to bend further, ultimately leading to the separation of the first clamping part 13 from the second clamping part 23. After the external force is removed, the three-bar structure of the first extension 12 recovers its deformation through its own elasticity, causing the first clamping part 13 to move towards the second clamping part 23, ensuring a uniform and stable clamping force.

[0041] The three-bar tortuous structure in this embodiment significantly optimizes the one-handed operation experience. When the user pushes the push part 14, the required force is greatly reduced, and the clamping process is smoother.

[0042] In one embodiment, the second extension 22 includes a fourth rod 221, a fifth rod 222, and a sixth rod 223 connected in a zigzag pattern. The second fixing part 21 is connected to the end of the fourth rod 221 away from the fifth rod 222, and the second clamping part 23 is connected to the end of the sixth rod 223 away from the fifth rod 222. The second rod portion 122 and the fifth rod portion 222 are arranged in a cross pattern.

[0043] The second extension 22 is provided in correspondence with the first extension 12. The second extension 22 adopts a three-bar curved structure corresponding to the first extension 12. Each bar is symmetrically distributed in space with the corresponding bar of the first extension 12 and the bending direction is opposite. Specifically, the fourth bar 221, the fifth bar 222, and the sixth bar 223 of the second extension 22 form a mirror relationship with the corresponding bar of the first extension 12, ensuring that the width dimension of the clip 10 is constant along the extension direction.

[0044] The fifth rod 222 and the second rod 122 of the first extension 12 are arranged in an intersecting manner, so that the two rods can achieve elastic deformation and form a mechanical complementary relationship. This can ensure sufficient elastic deformation space, optimize the force transmission path, and enhance the overall structural stability of the clamp 10.

[0045] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 The first extension 12 is provided with a first clearance groove 124 located on the second rod 122, and the second extension 22 is provided with a second clearance groove located on the fifth rod 222. The first clearance groove 124 and the second clearance groove are arranged facing each other, so that the second rod 122 and the fifth rod 222 are arranged crosswise.

[0046] A first clearance groove 124 is provided on the second rod portion 122, and a second clearance groove is provided on the fifth rod portion 222, providing space for the intersection of the second rod portion 122 and the fifth rod portion 222. The first clearance groove 124 and the second clearance groove ensure that the first clamping portion 13 and the second clamping portion 23 can precisely correspond in the thickness direction of the clamp 10, ensuring that the first and second clamping portions are on the same plane when the clamp 10 is closed. This guarantees sufficient clamping area during use, preventing items from slipping due to insufficient clamping area and effectively ensuring clamping stability. Simultaneously, this design perfectly meets the overlapping requirements of the second rod portion 122 and the fifth rod portion 222. The two clearance grooves form a complete clearance channel, allowing the two rods to intersect closely without collision or interference, achieving a balance between compact structure and high functional efficiency.

[0047] In one embodiment, the first fixing part 11 or the second fixing part 21 is provided with a hinge part 3, and the first fixing part 11 and / or the second fixing part 21 is provided with an anti-rotation part 4. When the pushing part 14 is subjected to an external force for separating the first clamping part 13 and the second clamping part 23, the anti-rotation part 4 prevents the clamp 10 from rotating around the hinge part 3.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first fixing part 11 or the second fixing part 21 is provided with a hinge part 3. Its structure can be a rotating shaft structure with shaft-hole mating, a hinge structure, etc. Through this hinge part 3, the clip 10 can be flexibly hinged and installed on a clothes rack, drying rod, or other support, providing a rotatable mounting base for the clip 10. Simultaneously, the first fixing part 11 and / or the second fixing part 21 are provided with an anti-rotation part 4. The anti-rotation part 4 can be designed as a protruding locking block, a limiting tooth, or other structure, and its position and shape are configured to cooperate with the upper limit part 62 of the support.

[0049] In application, the clip 10 of this embodiment can be hinged and installed on the support body (such as a clothes rack, drying rod, etc.) through the hinge part 3. The clip 10 can be rotated according to the usage state. For example, in the non-use state, the clip 10 can be freely rotated around the hinge part 3 to the storage position to save space. When the clip 10 needs to be used, it is rotated to the vertical downward direction. At this time, the anti-rotation part 4 and the limiting part 62 on the support body enter the cooperation state. To accommodate one-handed use, this design also includes an anti-rotation part 4. The anti-rotation part 4 can cooperate with the limiting part 62 on the support body. Specifically, when the clip 10 is in use, the limiting part 62 and the anti-rotation part 4 can cooperate to form a one-way rotation limit on the clip 10. This direction is set so that when an external force pushes the pushing part 14 of the clip 10 to open the clamp, the clip 10 is restricted and fixed, thereby preventing the clip 10 from rotating when the clamp is opened. It should be noted that this limit is a one-way limit, and the clip 10 can be rotated in a freely rotatable direction to be stored.

[0050] In this embodiment, the hinge 3 allows the clip 10 to be flexibly rotated and stored. When not in use, the clip 10 can be rotated to a position that is flush with or parallel to the support, effectively saving drying space. The anti-rotation part 4 and the limiting part 62 cooperate in a one-way limiting action to provide stable support when the user operates the clip 10 with one hand to open the clamp, ensuring the stability of the clip 10 during one-handed operation.

[0051] Secondly, this embodiment also provides a drying rod assembly, including a drying rod 60, wherein at least one of the above-mentioned clips 10 is installed on the drying rod 60.

[0052] Similarly, based on the clip 10 provided in this embodiment, the drying rod 60 of this embodiment can provide a clamping and drying function, and the user can operate the clamping of clothes with one hand, which is convenient and efficient.

[0053] In application, a clip 10 can be set on the drying rod 60, or multiple clips 10 can be set along the length of the drying rod 60 to provide more clamping points and meet more drying needs.

[0054] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 7The drying rod 60 is provided with a receiving groove 61. One end of the clip 10 extends into the receiving groove 61 and is hinged. The clip 10 can be unfolded or stored in the receiving groove 61 by rotating relative to the drying rod 60.

[0055] The drying rod 60 serves as the mounting carrier for the clip 10, and the receiving groove 61 on it cooperates with the clip 10. One end of the clip 10 extends into the receiving groove 61 and is hinged to the drying rod 60 through the hinge part 3, so that the clip 10 can rotate within the receiving groove 61 with the hinge point as the axis, realizing the switching between the two states of unfolding for use and folding back into place.

[0056] When installing the clip 10, precisely insert the end of the clip 10 with the hinge part 3 into the receiving groove 61 of the drying rod 60. The hinge part 3 is connected to the corresponding mounting structure (hinge support 64) in the receiving groove 61 to complete the hinge fixation. In the non-use state, the clip 10 can rotate freely around the hinge part 3 relative to the receiving groove 61 until it is completely stored in the groove. At this time, the clip 10 is flush with or partially recessed with the surface of the drying rod 60, effectively saving space. When the clip 10 is needed, the user rotates the clip 10 out of the receiving groove 61 until it is in the vertical downward direction. At this time, the anti-rotation part 4 and the limiting part 62 on the drying rod 60 are engaged. In this embodiment, the design of the drying rod 60 and the receiving groove 61 integrates the clip 10 with the drying device. In the stored state, the clip 10 is hidden within the receiving groove 61, keeping the surface of the drying rod 60 flat and improving its overall aesthetics. In use, the clip 10 is simply rotated out of the groove, making operation convenient and not affecting the drying function. Importantly, the drying rod 60 also provides multifaceted protection for the clip 10, reducing the risk of damage from external forces and providing excellent dust and sun protection.

[0057] In one embodiment, the drying rod 60 can be rotatably installed in a clothes rack or clothes drying machine. Under the action of its own weight, when the clip 10 rotates to the position where the receiving groove 61 faces upward, the clip 10 automatically rotates and is stored in the receiving groove 61; when the clip rotates to the position where the receiving groove 61 faces downward, the clip 10 automatically rotates downward and unfolds.

[0058] Based on the rotatable nature of the drying rod 60 and the weight of the clip 10 itself, the clip 10 can automatically unfold and retract. When the drying rod 60 rotates to the point where the receiving groove 61 faces upward, the clip 10, under its own weight, automatically rotates and falls into the receiving groove 61 around the hinge 3 to complete the retraction action. At this time, the inner wall of the receiving groove 61 positions and limits the clip 10, ensuring stable storage. When the drying rod 60 rotates to the point where the receiving groove 61 faces downward, the clip 10, also driven by gravity, automatically rotates downward and unfolds until it is in a vertically hanging usage direction. At this time, the anti-rotation part 4 cooperates with the limiting part 62 on the drying rod 60 to prevent the clip 10 from rotating arbitrarily during use. The entire process does not require manual operation of the unfolding and retraction of the clip 10, optimizing the user experience.

[0059] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 8 The first fixing part 11 or the second fixing part 21 is provided with a hinge part 3, which is hinged to the drying rod 60; The first fixing part 11 and / or the second fixing part 21 are provided with an anti-rotation part 4, and the drying rod 60 is provided with a limiting part 62. When the pushing part 14 is subjected to an external force for separating the first clamping part 13 and the second clamping part 23, the limiting part 62 cooperates with the anti-rotation part 4 to prevent the clamp 10 from rotating around the hinge part 3.

[0060] Similarly, in this embodiment, the hinge 3 allows the clip 10 to rotate and be stored flexibly. When not in use, the clip 10 can be rotated to the storage position, effectively saving drying space. The anti-rotation part 4 and the limiting part 62 cooperate in a one-way limiting action to provide stable support when the user operates the clip 10 with one hand to open the clamp, ensuring the stability of the clip 10 when operating with one hand.

[0061] In one embodiment, the drying rod 60 is provided with a buckle 63, and the first extension 12 or the second extension 22 is provided with a stabilizing groove 5 that cooperates with the buckle 63. When the clip 10 is unfolded relative to the drying rod 60, the buckle 63 is fastened in the stabilizing groove 5.

[0062] In this embodiment, the drying rod 60 is provided with a buckle 63, which can be in the form of an elastic hook or a spring buckle 63, etc., and has a certain elastic deformation capability to facilitate engagement and disengagement with the stabilizing groove 5. At the same time, the first extension 12 or the second extension 22 is provided with a stabilizing groove 5 that cooperates with the buckle 63. The shape and size of the stabilizing groove 5 are precisely matched with the buckle 63, and it is usually in the shape of a groove. The inclination angle and depth of the groove wall are designed to form a stable engagement structure when the buckle 63 is engaged. When the clip 10 is unfolded relative to the drying rod 60 to the use state, the buckle 63 can automatically engage in the stabilizing groove 5, further enhancing the connection stability between the clip 10 and the drying rod 60, and preventing the clip 10 from accidentally rotating or shifting due to shaking, external force collisions, or other factors during use.

[0063] Thirdly, a clothes drying rack is provided, including the aforementioned clip 10; or, including the aforementioned drying rod assembly.

[0064] Similarly, based on the clip 10 or drying rod assembly provided in this embodiment, the clothes drying machine of this embodiment can provide users with the function of clamping clothes with one hand.
