[0019] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described to make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a drying rod assembly, including: a tube body 1 with a cavity inside; a drying rod plug 2 disposed at one end of the tube body 1 for connecting a rod body sleeved outside the tube body 1; a fixing member 3 disposed at the other end of the tube body 1; a rope 4 housed in the cavity, with one end passing through the drying rod plug 2; and an elastic member 5 housed in the cavity, with one end connected to the end of the rope 4 away from the drying rod plug 2 and the other end connected to the fixing member 3.

[0022] In this embodiment, the tube body 1 is a hollow tube structure with a pipe cavity inside. The drying rod plug 2 and the fixing member 3 are respectively set at opposite ends of the tube body 1. The rope body 4 and the elastic member 5 are both housed in the pipe cavity. One end of the rope body 4 passes through the drying rod plug 2, and the other end is connected to the elastic member 5. The elastic member 5 is connected to the fixing member 3.

[0023] When the clothes drying rod assembly is lowered and moved, the rope 4 passes through the clothes drying rod end cap 2 and moves outward. The elastic element 5 is stretched and elongated by the rope 4. At this time, the distance between the clothes drying rod assembly and the clothes drying machine increases until the elastic element 5 contacts the clothes drying rod end cap 2. Then the position of the rope 4 is limited and the elastic element 5 stops elongating. At this time, the elastic element 5 can provide elastic reset pre-tension force for the rope 4.

[0024] Users can hang clothes or dry quilts on the drying rod assembly. The drying rod assembly can be used in both clothes drying and quilt drying modes at the same time, making it more convenient to use. In addition, by combining multiple drying rod assemblies, the clothes dryer can have a variety of different drying modes, thereby improving the flexibility of the clothes dryer and the utilization rate of drying space.

[0025] Furthermore, the portion of the drying rod plug 2 that extends into the cavity of the tube body 1 is provided with a plug-in part 6, and the plug-in part 6 is interference-fitted with the cavity.

[0026] In this embodiment, the part of the drying rod plug 2 that extends into the cavity of the tube body 1 is provided with a plug-in part 6. The plug-in part 6 is interference-fitted with the cavity of the tube body 1, so that the drying rod plug 2 and the end of the tube body 1 can be stably connected, preventing the drying rod plug 2 from detaching from the tube body 1, and making the use more reliable.

[0027] Furthermore, a connector 7 is provided at the connection between the rope 4 and the elastic member 5, and a stop 8 is provided on the drying rod end cap 2 to limit the connector 7.

[0028] In this embodiment, the two ends of the connector 7 are respectively connected to the rope 4 and the elastic element 5, making the connection between the rope 4 and the elastic element 5 more stable; the drying rod end cap 2 is provided with a stop part 8. When the rope 4 moves to the preset position, the connector 7 contacts the stop part 8. The stop part 8 can restrict the connector 7 from continuing to move, and the elastic element 5 stops extending, thereby achieving the limiting effect on the rope 4.

[0029] Furthermore, the stop portion 8 and the insertion portion 6 are integrally formed.

[0030] In this embodiment, the stop part 8 and the insertion part 6 are integrally formed at the same position of the drying rod plug 2, so that the stop part 8 of the drying rod plug 2 is both the insertion position of the tube body 1 and its end face can restrict the movement position of the connector 7, which achieves two goals at once and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0031] Furthermore, the rope body 4 is a steel wire rope, and the elastic element 5 is a tension spring.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rope 4 can be made of steel wire rope. The steel wire rope, together with the clothes drying machine body 11, achieves the function of retracting and lowering the drying rod assembly. It has a strong load-bearing capacity and is safer and more reliable to use. The elastic element 5 is made of tension spring. After the rope 4 moves outward from the drying rod end cap 2, the tension spring always maintains a pre-tension force facing inward, which facilitates the elastic reset of the drying rod assembly after use.

[0033] Example 2 like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a drying rod device, including a rod body 9 and at least two drying rod assemblies as described in Embodiment 1; the at least two drying rod assemblies are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the rod body 9.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rod body 9 is a hollow extruded profile tube, and two drying rod assemblies are set at opposite ends of the rod body 9. The tube body 1 of the drying rod assembly extends into the internal cavity of the rod body 9, and the two drying rod assemblies are staggered on the plane, so that the two drying rod assemblies can have a certain swing range within the internal space of the rod body 9.

[0035] Users can hang clothes or dry quilts on the rod 9 of the drying rod device. The drying rod device can be used in both clothes drying and quilt drying modes at the same time, making it more convenient to use. In addition, by combining multiple drying rod devices, the clothes drying machine can have a variety of different drying modes, making it more convenient to use and thus improving the flexibility of the clothes drying machine and the utilization rate of drying space.

[0036] Furthermore, a guide portion 10 is provided at the end of the fixing member 3 away from the elastic member 5 to guide the two drying rod assemblies to stagger each other when they meet.

[0037] In this embodiment, a guide portion 10 is provided on the outside of the fixing member 3. When two oppositely arranged drying rod assemblies meet in the internal space of the rod body 9, the guide portions 10 of the two drying rod assemblies come into contact, which can guide the two drying rod assemblies to smoothly stagger each other, avoiding rigid collisions or jamming, thereby improving the user experience and reliability of the product.

[0038] Furthermore, the guide portion 10 has an arc-shaped protrusion structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, the guide part 10 adopts an arc-shaped protrusion structure, which can achieve a smooth transition guiding effect through the arc-shaped curved surface, effectively reducing the friction and impact when the two guide parts 10 come into contact, and making the staggered effect smoother.

[0040] Example 3 like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothes drying rack, including a clothes drying rack body 11 and a clothes drying rod 12, and also includes the clothes drying rod device described in Embodiment 2; in the clothes drying rod device, the ropes 4 of the clothes drying rod assemblies at both ends of the rod 9 pass through the clothes drying rod plugs 2 and are respectively connected to the two ends of the clothes drying rod 12.

[0041] In this embodiment, the drying rod device can be applied to different clothes drying machines, extending the advantages of the drying rod device to the clothes drying machine. Specifically, the drying rod device is set below the clothes drying rod 12 and can be used as a quilt drying rod. In the drying rod device, the ropes 4 in the drying rod assemblies located at the left and right ends of the rod body 9 pass through the drying rod plugs 2 at the left and right ends of the rod body 9 and are connected to the left and right ends of the clothes drying rod 12 respectively. The lower side of the clothes drying rod 12 is provided with a slot. When the drying rod device is not needed, the rod body 9 can be placed in the slot. At this time, the elastic element 5 in the drying rod assembly will recover because it is not under tension, so that the rope 4 can be retracted into the tube body 1. When the drying rod device needs to be used, for example, when clothes and quilts need to be dried at the same time, the rod body 9 can be taken out of the slot. The elastic element 5 in the clothesline assembly is stretched by the traction force, allowing the rope 4 to extend from the tube 1, thus enabling the rod 9 to be lowered to a predetermined distance below the clothesline. Based on this, users can dry clothes using only the clothesline 12, or simultaneously dry clothes and / or quilts using both the clothesline and the clothesline device, achieving double-layer drying. Specifically, clothes can be dried on the clothesline, and quilts on the clothesline device, making it more convenient to use. Furthermore, by combining multiple clothesline devices, the clothesline can have various drying methods, making it more convenient to use and improving the flexibility of the clothesline and the utilization rate of drying space. The clothesline device has all the technical effects of Embodiments 1 and 2, which will not be repeated here.

[0042] Furthermore, a clothes drying rod plug 13 is detachably provided on the clothes drying rod plug 2 for connecting the clothes drying machine body 11.

[0043] In this embodiment, the clothes drying rod end cap 13 is detachably mounted on the clothes drying rod end cap 2, so that the clothes drying rod assembly can be used not only as the rod body 9, but also as the clothes drying rod 12, making it more functional and flexible in use.
