[0002] As a new generation of smart home appliances, clothes drying racks are being used more and more widely.
[0003] Currently, clothes drying racks on the market often have motor malfunctions. Therefore, when repairing the motor, or power assembly, the entire machine must be removed. During the repair process, firstly, the clothes drying rack is inevitably subject to bumps and knocks, damaging the paint and affecting its appearance. Secondly, since the clothes drying rack is used by hanging from the indoor ceiling, there is a risk that the repair personnel may not hold it securely when removing the clothes drying rack or its motor, resulting in injury to people or damage to the machine.
[0004] Therefore, this problem is solved by adding a fall-prevention maintenance and safety protection structure to the clothes drying rack without removing the entire main unit. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a maintenance and safety protection structure for a clothes drying rack, which can enable maintenance of the power assembly of the clothes drying rack without removing the main unit, reducing the possibility of the main unit falling and injuring people or the machine.
[0006] This utility model discloses a maintenance and safety protection structure for a clothes drying rack, comprising:
[0007] The main unit is divided into two parts, an upper and a lower casing.
[0008] The upper shell has first reinforcing members at both ends, and the first reinforcing members are installed with the indoor ceiling.
[0009] The lower housing and the upper housing are detachably connected, and a powertrain is provided on the lower housing;
[0010] The lower housing is provided with second reinforcing members at both ends, and anti-detachment members are respectively connected between the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member on the same side.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first reinforcing member includes a fixing plate, which is arranged in an "L" shape. An upper fixing hole is provided on the top of the upper housing. The fixing plate and the upper fixing hole are detachably connected by fasteners.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top of the anti-detachment component is also mounted on the upper fixing hole by the fastener.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, a clearance groove is provided on the fixing plate, the opening of the clearance groove faces away from the main unit, and the clearance groove is installed with the indoor ceiling through a connector;
[0014] The upper housing has a mounting groove on its side end, which corresponds to the clearance groove.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the second reinforcing member includes a second fixing plate, the top of which extends upward to the top of the lower housing, and the bottom of the anti-detachment member is installed with the top of the second fixing plate.
[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the anti-detachment component is bent and housed between the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate.
[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, the anti-slip component includes fixed sections at both ends and a rope section in the middle, wherein the fixed sections are fastened to the rope section.
[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, the fixing section is made of metal material, and the rope section is made of woven metal wire.
[0019] As a further improvement of this utility model, the fixing section is made of metal material, and the rope section is woven from plastic wire.
[0020] As a further improvement of this utility model, side covers are provided at both ends of the main unit. When the upper housing and the lower housing are connected, the side covers close the two ends of the upper housing and the lower housing.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0022] 1. The main unit of this solution adopts a detachable upper and lower shell design. When it is necessary to repair the power assembly (such as the motor, cable reel, etc.) located in the lower shell, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire main unit and the ceiling fixing points; simply separate the lower shell from the upper shell. When the lower shell is disassembled for repair, an anti-detachment component is installed, which serves as a load-bearing connection between the lower shell and the ceiling. This effectively prevents the lower shell and the heavy power assembly on it from accidentally falling during the repair process, completely eliminating the risk of injury to personnel and damage to the machine.
[0023] 2. This design, by incorporating an "L"-shaped first reinforcing member and an upwardly extending second reinforcing member, not only provides a secure mounting point to the ceiling but also enhances the structural strength of the housing itself, providing a reliable mounting base for the anti-detachment component and ensuring the effectiveness of the entire protective structure. Furthermore, under normal conditions, the anti-detachment component bends and retracts into the receiving cavity formed by the first and second reinforcing members, and is completely sealed and hidden by the side cover, ensuring a clean and aesthetically pleasing product appearance and not affecting daily use.

Detailed Implementation
[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0038] Specific Implementation Example 1: Please refer to... Figure 1-11 A maintenance and safety protection structure for a clothes drying rack, comprising:
[0039] The main unit is divided into two parts, an upper and a lower casing.
[0040] The upper shell has first reinforcing members at both ends, and the first reinforcing members are installed with the indoor ceiling.
[0041] The lower housing and the upper housing are detachably connected, and a powertrain is provided on the lower housing;
[0042] The lower housing is provided with second reinforcing members at both ends, and anti-detachment members are respectively connected between the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member on the same side.
[0043] It is understood that the aforementioned upper housing includes housing 11, and the lower housing includes housing 12, with housing 11 and housing 12 being detachable. Housing 11 and housing 12 can be connected using fasteners such as screws or clips, allowing them to be separated. The advantage of this detachable design is that when housing 12 is separated, the powertrain on housing 12 can be quickly inspected and repaired.
[0044] It is worth noting that the aforementioned power assembly includes a main unit 13, a steel wire rope 14, and guide seats 15. The main unit 13 is located in the middle of the housing 12, while the guide seats 15 are located on both sides of the housing 12. The two guide seats 15 are located on both sides of the main unit 13. The steel wire rope 14 is wound around the main unit 13, so as the output shaft of the main unit 13 rotates, the steel wire rope 14 can be wound and unwound. The two ends of the steel wire rope 14 extend toward the two guide seats 15 and are guided downward by guide wheels on the guide seats 15. The bottom of the two steel wire ropes 14 are connected to a drying rod 16, which is retractable inside the housing 12. The drying rod 16 is a conventional drying rod.
[0045] The first reinforcing member includes a fixing plate 21, which is L-shaped. An upper fixing hole 23 is provided on the top of the upper housing. The fixing plate 21 and the upper fixing hole 23 are detachably connected by fasteners. The top of the anti-detachment component is also mounted on the upper fixing hole 23 via fasteners. A clearance groove 34 is provided on the fixing plate 21, with its opening facing away from the main unit. The clearance groove 34 is installed to the indoor ceiling via a connector. A mounting groove 22 is provided on the side of the upper housing, corresponding to the clearance groove 34.
[0046] It is understood that the aforementioned fixing plate 21 is L-shaped, and its horizontal side is detachably connected to the top of the housing 11. The upper fixing hole 23 is a mounting hole opened on the housing 11, and this hole is respectively located on both sides of the mounting groove 22.
[0047] It should be further noted that a clearance groove 34, identical to that of the mounting groove 22, is provided on the horizontal side of the fixing plate 21. Therefore, when installing the anti-detachment component, either upper fixing hole 23 can be selected for simultaneous installation of the anti-detachment component. The mounting groove 22 is used to connect external expansion screws 29. After the expansion screws 29 are fixed to the indoor ceiling or suspended ceiling, they can be directly inserted into the mounting groove 22 and the clearance groove 34 to suspend the housing 11, while also further securing the fixing plate 21.
[0048] The second reinforcing member includes a second fixing plate 26, the top of which extends upward to the top of the lower housing, and the bottom of the anti-detachment member is installed with the top of the second fixing plate 26.
[0049] It is understood that the aforementioned fixing plate 26 is the same as the fixing plate 21, both being made of metal. Two screw holes 28 are provided on the side end of the housing 12, through which the fixing plate 26 and the housing 12 are installed and fixed. Furthermore, the top of the fixing plate 26 extends upwards above the housing 12; this design facilitates the installation of the bottom of the anti-detachment component.
[0050] The anti-detachment component is bent and housed between the first fixing plate 21 and the second fixing plate 26.
[0051] It is understandable that, such as Figure 10 As shown, when housing 11 and housing 22 are in the assembled state, fixing plate 121 and fixing plate 26 approach each other and can enclose a space receiving cavity 35 with an opening. At this time, the entire anti-detachment component can be freely bent and stored in the receiving cavity 35.
[0052] The anti-slip component includes fixed sections at both ends and a rope section in the middle, with the fixed sections being securely connected to the rope section.
[0053] Understandably, the aforementioned rope segment is a slender, soft strip structure to provide sufficient distance for maintenance and other operations when the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are separated; and it can be freely bent for storage between the first fixing plate 21 and the second fixing plate 26. Simultaneously, each of the two fixing segments includes a connector 25 located at both ends, with the upper connector 25 installed in the upper fixing hole 23, and the lower connector 25 installed in the lower fixing hole 27 at the top of the second fixing plate 26. The rope segment includes a protective rope 24.
[0054] The fixing section is made of metal, and the rope section is woven from metal wire.
[0055] Understandably, the connector 25 is made of high-strength metal such as aluminum alloy to ensure strength. The protective rope 24 is made of braided and twisted steel wire. The advantage of this design is that when the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are separated, the second shell 12 can hang freely. Since the power assembly is located on the second shell 12, it will have a certain weight. The protective rope 24, made of braided steel wire, can stably suspend the second shell 12 with the power assembly.
[0056] The main unit is provided with side covers 30 at both ends. When the upper housing and the lower housing are connected, the side covers 30 close the two ends of the upper housing and the lower housing.
[0057] Understandably, the side cover 30 is used to cover and close the side ends of housing 11 and housing 2 12 to enhance the aesthetics of housing 11 and housing 2 12, and can also further prevent the protective rope 24 from leaking out of the receiving cavity 35, thus affecting the overall aesthetics.
[0058] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 11 As shown, the bottom of the side cover 30 is provided with two protruding locking blocks 33, while the bottom of the fixing plate 26 is provided with two corresponding latches 32. The latches 32 are hollow. The latches 32 and the locking blocks 33 cooperate with each other to form a latching connection. When the side cover 30 is installed at the ends of the housing 11 and the housing 22 for closure, the housing 11 and the housing 22 need to be in a connected and combined state. Then, the locking blocks 33 and the latches 32 are first fastened to each other, and then the installation is completed by the other walls of the side cover 30 being sleeved on the outer ends of the housing 11 and the housing 22.
[0059] Specific Implementation Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 A maintenance and safety protection structure for a clothes drying rack, comprising:
[0060] The main unit is divided into two parts, an upper and a lower casing.
[0061] The upper shell has first reinforcing members at both ends, and the first reinforcing members are installed with the indoor ceiling.
[0062] The lower housing and the upper housing are detachably connected, and a powertrain is provided on the lower housing;
[0063] The lower housing is provided with second reinforcing members at both ends, and anti-detachment members are respectively connected between the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member on the same side.
[0064] The fixing section is made of metal, and the rope section is woven from plastic filaments.
[0065] The difference from Specific Embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0066] Understandably, the connector 25 is made of high-strength metal such as aluminum alloy to ensure strength. The protective rope 24, on the other hand, is made of woven plastic filaments. While the plastic protective rope 24 has a slightly lower load-bearing capacity than the steel wire protective rope 24, it is softer, making it easier to store and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0067] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be embraced within this application. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. Furthermore, it is clear that the word "comprising" does not exclude other units or steps, and the singular does not exclude the plural.
