Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household equipment technology, specifically to a clothes hanger storage device and an intelligent household system. Background Technology
[0002] In home and commercial laundry automation scenarios, the storage and automatic dispensing of hangers are crucial for achieving fully automated garment handling. With the increasing prevalence of smart home systems, traditional hanger dispensing methods are no longer adequate for automation needs: manual storage and retrieval rely on human intervention and cannot coordinate with automated devices such as washing and drying equipment and robots, hindering overall efficiency. While wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted dispensers can achieve semi-automated dispensing, they typically employ a suspended storage structure, occupying significant space and only dispensing a single hanger at a time, making continuous dispensing difficult.
[0003] To balance space saving and bulk storage, some solutions attempt to store hangers in a stacked manner to save storage space. This is complemented by a pusher mechanism that pushes the hangers out one by one for automatic supply. However, when multiple hangers are stacked vertically, placement errors, vibrations, or pushing forces can cause them to shift or misalign horizontally, or even become stuck between adjacent hangers. This shift directly prevents the pusher mechanism from accurately engaging the target hanger (the top hanger to be retrieved), resulting in the hanger not extending accurately from the cabinet opening, the actuator failing to clamp the hanger securely, and ultimately, hanger retrieval failure. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the main objective of this utility model is to provide a hanger storage device that can reliably limit the horizontal movement of stacked hangers, ensuring that each hanger is confined to a specific position during storage, thereby improving the success rate of hanger supply.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a clothes hanger storage device for cleaning equipment. The clothes hanger storage device includes:
[0006] This utility model provides a hanger storage device, comprising a cabinet, a support portion, a pushing portion, and a second driving mechanism. The cabinet has a mounting cavity and an opening communicating with the mounting cavity, the opening being located on the front side of the cabinet. The support portion is disposed on the cabinet and includes a platform and a first guide post. The first guide post extends upward from at least the upper side of the platform and is located behind the opening, spaced apart from it. The platform supports multiple hangers stacked sequentially from top to bottom, with the uppermost hanger being the target hanger. The first guide post engages with slots on each hanger. The pushing portion is disposed on the cabinet and includes a first driving mechanism and a movable component. The movable component is movably disposed relative to the cabinet in the front-rear direction. The first driving mechanism drives the movable component forward, pushing the target hanger at least partially out of the opening. The second driving mechanism is disposed on the cabinet and is drivenly connected to at least one of the support portion and the pushing portion, enabling the support portion and the pushing portion to move relative to each other in the vertical direction until the target hanger moves within the range of the movable component.
[0007] In this embodiment, the stacking method significantly saves storage space for hangers. The relative vertical movement between the target hanger and the movable component, combined with the directional pushing of the movable component, enables automatic and stable hanger supply. Furthermore, the engagement of the first guide post with the hanger slot ensures precise horizontal positioning of a single hanger, resolving the issue of hanger misalignment in existing stacking solutions. This ensures precise positioning and coordination with the target hanger during the directional pushing of the movable component, guaranteeing the hanger extends accurately from the opening, providing stable conditions for the actuator to pick it up, significantly improving the hanger supply success rate, and adapting to the automation requirements of smart home systems.

[0022] This utility model provides an intelligent household chores system, including a clothes hanger storage device 100 and an execution device. The execution device can be used in conjunction with a laundry washing and drying device to perform automatic washing and care of clothes, and works in conjunction with the clothes hanger storage device 100 fixed near the washing and drying device. The clothes hanger storage device 100 is used to store multiple clothes hangers 200. The execution device includes a third drive mechanism and a picking unit. The third drive mechanism is driven to the picking unit to move the picking unit closer to the clothes hanger storage device 100 and remove the clothes hangers 200 from the clothes hanger storage device 100 for convenient subsequent operations such as drying clothes.
[0023] Specifically, the third drive mechanism can be a linear module or a multi-axis, multi-joint robotic arm. The picking unit is a pneumatic or electric gripper adapted to the gripping section 203 on the hanger 200. The third drive mechanism is driven and connected to the picking unit. After receiving the gripping permission signal from the hanger storage device 100, it aligns with the gripping section 203 through visual positioning or a preset path. Then, the picking unit clamps the gripping section 203 to complete the retrieval of the hanger 200. It should be noted that the gripping section 203 refers to the preset section on the hanger 200 for the picking unit to clamp, which is usually the part near the hook and has a flat surface. When the hanger storage device 100 supplies the target hanger 200, the gripping section 203 of the target hanger 200 is at least partially exposed, and the exposed length is preferably such that the picking unit can clamp it stably.
[0024] Optionally, a pressure sensor can be installed in the picking unit to detect the clamping force to avoid damaging the hanger 200 or causing it to fall off due to excessive clamping. In this embodiment, the hanger storage device 100 solves the technical problem of unmanned continuous supply of hangers 200, while the execution device, in conjunction with the hanger storage device 100, realizes full automation of the hanger 200 retrieval process, greatly improving the efficiency of household operations and adapting to the automation needs of home and commercial laundry services.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a clothes hanger storage device 100, which includes a cabinet 10, a support part 20, a pushing part 30, and a second driving mechanism. The cabinet 10 serves as the basic frame of the device, having a mounting cavity 11 and an opening 110 communicating with the mounting cavity 11. The opening 110 is located on the front side of the cabinet 10, providing an outlet for the clothes hanger 200 to be pushed out. The mounting cavity 11 provides accommodating space for the installation and operation of various components, preventing external interference from causing the clothes hanger 200 to shift.
[0026] The support unit 20 is mounted on the cabinet 10 and includes a platform 21 and a first guide column 40. The platform 21 is used to support multiple hangers 200 stacked sequentially from top to bottom. This stacking method can significantly save horizontal storage space and adapt to the space requirements of home and commercial scenarios. In one embodiment, the platform 21 can be formed using the bottom wall of the cabinet 10. Preferably, the hangers 200 are customized hangers 200 that match the smart home system. When multiple hangers 200 are placed on the support unit 20, the hook portions 202 of each hanger 200 face the same direction. Multiple hangers 200 are stacked sequentially on the upper side of the platform 21, with the hanger 200 at the top being the target hanger 200 to be retrieved.
[0027] The first guide post 40 extends upward from at least the upper side of the platform 21 and is located behind and spaced apart from the opening 110. Its function is to engage with the slots 201 on each hanger 200. The slots 201 are pre-designed on the hanger 200 and conform to the contour of the first guide post 40. The shape of the first guide post 40 is not limited, as long as it conforms to the shape of the slots 201. When the hangers 200 are stacked on the platform 21, the first guide post 40 passes through the slots 201 of each hanger 200, limiting the horizontal position of each hanger 200, especially its lateral and rearward displacement, through the engagement relationship, preventing the hangers 200 from shifting due to placement deviations, vibrations, or pushing forces. Preferably, the first guide post 40 is cylindrical, allowing for smoother disengagement from the slots 201 when the hanger 200 is pushed out by the pushing part 30, avoiding jamming.
[0028] The pushing unit 30 is mounted on the cabinet 10 and includes a first drive mechanism and a movable member 32. The movable member 32 is movable relative to the cabinet 10 in the front-to-back direction. The first drive mechanism drives the movable member 32 to move forward, so that the movable member 32 pushes the target hanger 200 at least partially out of the opening 110 during its forward movement, providing conditions for the actuator to pick it up. The first drive mechanism can be a lead screw drive or an electromagnetic drive, specifically selected according to the installation conditions and pushing accuracy requirements within the hanger storage device 100. Preferably, the front end of the movable member 32 can abut against the hook portion 202 of the target hanger 200, pushing the target hanger 200 until its gripping section 203 extends out of the opening 110. At this time, the picking unit can cooperate to grip the gripping section 203 to realize the retrieval of the hanger 200. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the front end of the movable part 32 is provided with a positioning groove 321, which is used to abut against the hook portion 202 of the target hanger 200. Preferably, the positioning groove 321 is a U-shaped groove formed at the front end of the movable part 32, the size of which is adapted to the contour of the hook portion 202 of the custom hanger 200. When the movable part 32 moves towards the opening 110, the hook portion 202 is embedded in the positioning groove 321, and the groove wall fits tightly with the hook portion 202 to form a stable abutment relationship.
[0029] To enable the target hanger 200 to cooperate with the pushing part 30, the hanger storage device 100 further includes a second drive mechanism mounted on the cabinet 10. At least one of the supporting part 20 and the pushing part 30 is movably mounted on the cabinet 10 in the vertical direction. The second drive mechanism is drivenly connected to at least one of the supporting part 20 and the pushing part 30, allowing the supporting part 20 and the pushing part 30 to move relative to each other in the vertical direction until the target hanger 200 moves into the effective range of the movable part 32. It should be noted that the effective range of the movable part 32 refers to the area where the movable part 32 can contact the target hanger 200 and generate a pushing force when it moves forward, ensuring effective pushing.
[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the vertical direction is roughly parallel to the direction of gravity extension, while the front-back direction and the lateral direction are roughly parallel to the horizontal plane and perpendicular to each other, wherein the front-back direction is roughly perpendicular to the plane where the opening 110 is located.
[0031] In this embodiment, the stacking method significantly saves storage space for the hangers 200. The relative vertical movement between the target hanger 200 and the movable component 32, combined with the directional pushing of the movable component 32, enables automatic and stable supply of the hangers 200. Furthermore, the engagement of the first guide post 40 with the hanger 200 slot 201 ensures precise horizontal positioning of a single hanger 200, resolving the issue of hanger 200 misalignment in existing stacking solutions. This ensures precise positioning and coordination with the target hanger 200 during the directional pushing process of the movable component 32, guaranteeing the hanger 200 extends accurately from the opening 110, providing stable conditions for the actuator to pick it up, significantly improving the success rate of hanger 200 supply, and adapting to the automation requirements of smart home systems.
[0032] Based on the previous embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 To enhance the positioning stability of the first guide post 40 for each hanger 200 and reduce component wear, an elastic element 41 is preferably wrapped around the outer periphery of the first guide post 40. This elastic element 41 is preferably made of a material with moderate deformation capacity and wear resistance, such as rubber or silicone. It can be integrally molded around the outer periphery of the first guide post 40, or it can be fixed to the first guide post 40 using a segmented sleeve structure, depending on the length of the guide post and maintenance requirements. When the slots 201 of each hanger 200 engage with the first guide post 40, the inner wall of the slots 201 will directly contact the elastic element 41. On the one hand, the elastic element 41 can fill the tiny manufacturing gap between the slots 201 and the guide post through its own deformation, eliminating the lateral or longitudinal movement of the hangers 200 caused by the gap. On the other hand, the flexibility of the elastic element 41 can buffer the impact force when the hangers 200 are stacked, avoid direct hard contact between the metal hanger 200 slot 201 and the rigid guide post, and reduce wear problems such as scratches and deformation after long-term use.
[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic element 41 changes the limiting relationship between the first guide post 40 and the slot 201 from a rigid fit to a flexible wrap. Even if there are slight dimensional deviations between the outer contours of the hanger 200 slot 201 and the first guide post 40, stable engagement can be achieved through elastic deformation, significantly reducing the manufacturing precision requirements of the hanger 200 and improving the compatibility of the device with different hangers 200. In addition, the elastic element 41 also serves as a buffer protection function, thereby extending the service life of the first guide post 40 and the hanger 200. Especially in high-frequency retrieval scenarios, it can reduce the frequency of component replacement due to hard contact and lower maintenance costs. Furthermore, the elastic contact characteristics provided by the elastic element 41 can also ensure that the target hanger 200 smoothly detaches from the guide post when pushed, avoiding jamming caused by insufficient gaps or burrs, further ensuring the continuity of the supply process.
[0034] Optionally, such as Figure 4As shown, to avoid the problem of the hanger 200 twisting around a single guide post, two first guide posts 40 are provided in this embodiment, and the two first guide posts 40 are distributed at intervals in the horizontal direction. The horizontal interval between the two first guide posts 40 needs to be precisely matched with the spacing of the two pre-set slots 201 on the customized hanger 200, ensuring that when each hanger 200 is stacked, the two slots 201 can form a one-to-one engagement relationship with the two guide posts respectively. The two first guide posts 40 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, together forming a two-point limiting structure for the hanger 200, thereby constraining the torque formed on the hanger 200, effectively limiting the rotational freedom of the hanger 200 in the horizontal plane, and preventing the hanger 200 from twisting due to uneven pushing force or vibration. In addition, on the hanger 200, the two slots 201 can form a hanging rope part for easy clothes drying, which plays a good role in fixing the clothes during drying.
[0035] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 5 The cabinet 10 includes two side walls 12 arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. The two side walls 12 are located on both sides of the opening 110 in the horizontal direction and are used to form an abutment fit with the two ends of each clothes hanger 200 in the horizontal direction.
[0036] In this embodiment, the two side walls 12 are connected and fixed to the top wall, bottom wall and rear wall of the cabinet 10 to form the boundary of the mounting cavity 11. The distance between the two side walls 12 needs to be slightly greater than the maximum lateral width of the hanger 200, so as to avoid the hanger 200 shifting laterally due to the excessive gap, and to prevent the hanger 200 from being stacked and taken out due to the insufficient gap.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, to accommodate hangers 200 of different widths, one of the side walls 12 can be designed to be adjustable. For example, one side wall 12 can be moved laterally to adjust the distance between the two side walls 12, thus accommodating various sizes of hangers 200 without replacing the cabinet body 10. To reduce friction and wear between the hanger 200 and the side wall 12, wear-resistant pads can be attached to the inside of the side wall 12, utilizing their self-lubricating properties to reduce frictional resistance when the hanger 200 moves up and down or back and forth.
[0038] In this embodiment, the lateral constraint provided by the side wall 12 to the hanger 200 and the engagement with the first guide post 40 form a more complete horizontal limiting system. The first guide post 40 restricts the hanger 200 from moving backward and twisting, while the side wall 12 restricts the lateral movement of the hanger 200. Together, they lock the horizontal position of the hanger 200 within a preset area. In this way, it can be ensured that the target hanger 200 is always within the range of action of the moving part 32, providing a solid guarantee for subsequent accurate pushing and picking.
[0039] Based on the previous embodiment, to reduce the difficulty for users in placing the hanger 200, and to prevent the hanger 200 below it from moving outwards from the opening 110 when the target hanger 200 is pushed forward, as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each side wall 12 has a protruding limiting boss 121. Each limiting boss 121 extends vertically and is located between the first guide post 40 and the opening 110 in the front-back direction. The distance between the two limiting bosses 121 in the lateral direction gradually decreases from front to back. The limiting bosses 121 can be integrally formed with the side wall 12, or they can be made of wear-resistant material and bonded to the inner side of the side wall 12. Its cross-section is arc-shaped, and the cooperation of the two limiting bosses 121 forms a guide structure that is wider at the front and narrower at the back. This allows the user to push the hangers 200 one by one into the cabinet 10 when storing the hangers 200. The limiting bosses 121 guide and limit the hanger 200, ensuring that the hanger 200 slot 201 is accurately aligned with the first guide post 40, achieving a stable engagement.
[0040] In this embodiment, the front and rear limiting functions of the limiting boss 121 supplement the horizontal constraint dimension, preventing the hanger 200 from exceeding the preset position due to misoperation or vibration, and further enhancing the stability of the storage process. In automated scenarios, this guiding structure can also work with the pushing part 30 to accurately guide the gripping section 203 of the hanger 200 outward from the opening 110 through its cross-sectional shape.
[0041] Based on the above embodiments, the first guide post 40 is detachably installed on the cabinet 10. The specific detachable method can be selected according to requirements, such as threaded connection, snap-fit connection, or pin connection. In this way, multiple sets of first guide posts 40 of different specifications can be equipped for hangers 200 with different spacing of card slots 201, or hangers 200 with different shapes and sizes of card slots 201, and users can replace them as needed according to the type of hanger 200.
[0042] Furthermore, gravity can be used to assist in the precise engagement of the hanger 200 with the first guide post 40. Specifically, the platform 21 extends backward from the opening 110, at least partially downward. That is, the front end of the platform 21 is slightly higher than the rear end. It should be noted that the tilt angle here needs to be controlled within a suitable range to avoid the gravity guiding effect being insignificant if the angle is too large, or the hanger 200 getting stuck when pushed forward by the pushing part 30 if the angle is too large.
[0043] In this embodiment, the tilting structure of platform 21 utilizes a slight component of gravity to allow the hanger 200 to slide naturally backward toward the first guide post 40 after being placed in, until the slot 201 and the guide post form a stable engagement, without the need for manual adjustment. On one hand, gravity guidance reduces the steps of manual adjustment; the user only needs to place the hanger 200 roughly at the front end of platform 21, and precise engagement can be achieved automatically through tilting, reducing the difficulty of operation. On the other hand, even during the up-and-down movement of the support part 20, the tilting structure ensures that the hanger 200 remains close to the first guide post 40, preventing the hanger 200 from detaching from the guide post due to vibration, further enhancing the limiting stability.
[0044] Based on any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, to optimize the relative movement efficiency of the supporting part 20 and the pushing part 30 and reduce the driving load, this embodiment clearly defines the installation method of the two and the connection relationship of the second driving mechanism. Specifically, the supporting part 20 is fixed to the cabinet 10, and the pushing part 30 is slidably installed on the cabinet 10 in the vertical direction. The second driving mechanism is driven by the pushing part 30 to drive the pushing part 30 to move in the vertical direction. The pushing part 30 moves to the rear of the target hanger 200, so that the target hanger 200 is within its effective range.
[0045] In this embodiment, the support unit 20 can be fixed by bolts to the bottom wall or side wall 12 of the cabinet 10, or by using the first guide post 40 extending vertically. Compared to driving the support unit 20 to move the multiple hangers 200 it carries vertically, the weight of the pushing unit 30 is significantly reduced relative to the load of the support unit 20, which not only reduces energy consumption but also improves the movement response speed and positioning accuracy. At the same time, fixing the support unit 20 avoids the center of gravity shift caused by changes in the weight of the hangers 200, ensuring that the stacked hangers 200 always maintain a stable posture and reducing the offset of the hangers 200 caused by the movement of the support unit 20.
[0046] In one embodiment, to prevent the pushing part 30 from shifting vertically during the pushing process and causing misalignment, a locking mechanism is added between the cabinet 10 and the pushing part 30. This mechanism is used to lock the pushing part 30 when the target hanger 200 moves into the range of motion of the movable part 32, limiting its vertical travel. The type of locking mechanism can be selected according to requirements. For example, an electromagnetic lock can be used, with the fixed end of the electromagnetic lock installed on the side wall 12 of the cabinet 10 and the latch end installed on the mounting base 31 of the pushing part 30. When the position sensor detects that the target hanger 200 is in place, the control system is energized to engage the latch, thus locking the device. In addition, the locking mechanism can be linked with the first drive mechanism. Only after the locking mechanism confirms locking can the first drive mechanism start the pushing action, avoiding misalignment caused by misoperation.
[0047] The locking mechanism can completely eliminate the vertical freedom of the pushing part 30, ensuring that the force point of the moving part 32 is always aligned with the preset position of the target hanger 200 when it is pushed, and preventing the pushing part 30 from moving slightly downward or upward due to the pushing force, which would cause the moving part 32 to be misaligned with the hanger 200.
[0048] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 To improve the accuracy and stability of the sliding motion of the pusher 30, this embodiment adds a second guide post 50 and optimizes the structure of the pusher 30. As shown in the figure, the hanger storage device 100 also includes a second guide post 50 fixed to the cabinet 10, and the pusher 30 also includes a mounting base 31. The mounting base 31 is slidably mounted on the second guide post 50 in the vertical direction. The second drive mechanism and the movable component 32 are both disposed on the mounting base 31, and the movable component 32 is movably disposed relative to the mounting base 31 in the front-back direction. The second guide post 50 extends in the vertical direction, and its two ends are fixed to the top wall and bottom wall of the cabinet 10, respectively. Preferably, there are two guide posts 50, which are distributed laterally at intervals. Two mounting holes 311 are correspondingly opened on the mounting base 31, and the second guide posts 50 are inserted into the mounting holes 311 one by one to form a double-post guide structure.
[0049] To reduce friction between the mounting hole 311 and the guide post, a self-lubricating bushing, such as a polytetrafluoroethylene bushing, can be embedded in the mounting hole 311. The bushing and the guide post have a clearance fit, which ensures smooth sliding and avoids wear caused by direct metal-to-metal contact. If improved guiding accuracy is required, in this embodiment, the two second guide posts 50 effectively limit the torsional freedom of the mounting base 31 by guiding and limiting it in the vertical direction. This ensures that the pushing part 30 always maintains a horizontal posture during vertical movement, preventing misalignment between the moving part 32 and the target hanger 200 due to tilting of the mounting base 31.
[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure made using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
