Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent clothes drying system technology, and in particular to a clothes drying system based on a side-concealed drying rod. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electric clothes drying racks are gradually evolving from traditional exposed designs to concealed designs. Concealed clothes drying racks reduce space usage and enhance aesthetics when not in use by storing the drying rods inside the main unit or on the side, making them particularly suitable for modern minimalist interior design styles. Currently, there are various concealed clothes drying rack solutions on the market, such as those using horizontal movement, flipping mechanisms, or opening and closing structures to achieve rod storage. However, these solutions still have problems such as incomplete concealment, complex structures, and inconvenient operation and maintenance. Especially in side-concealed double-rod clothes drying systems, achieving smooth raising and lowering of the drying rods, complete concealment, and system reliability have become technical challenges.

[0003] Patent document CN221645364U discloses a clothes drying rack with concealed drying rods, including a main unit and two height-adjustable drying rods. The main unit includes a fixed panel, a fixed base plate, and movable base plates located on both sides of the fixed base plate. The movable base plates are equipped with a drive device that can drive the drying rods to rise and fall. The fixed panel is located directly below the fixed base plate. A main motor is installed on the fixed base plate. Under the action of the drive device, when the two drying rods rise to the upper side of the fixed panel and are located below the movable base plates, the main motor moves the movable base plates horizontally inward, causing the drying rods to follow the movable base plates and move horizontally inward until they are hidden behind the fixed panel. The main motor then moves the movable base plates horizontally outward, causing the drying rods to follow the movable base plates and move horizontally outward from behind the fixed panel. Further, the drying rods are lowered by the drive device to below the fixed panel, so that the drying rods can be better concealed.

[0004] Patent document CN221895383U discloses a clothes drying rack with a concealed drying rod inside the main unit. The rack includes a main unit and a drying rod. The main unit comprises a main housing and a drive unit. The main housing includes an upper space and a lower space. The drive unit is located in the upper space of the main housing, and the drying rod can be stored in the lower space. The lower space has a receiving position, which the drying rod engages with. A rotatable opening and closing mechanism is provided at the opening of the receiving position. The opening and closing mechanism includes a cover plate and a pressure plate at a certain angle to the cover plate. The pressure plate rotates under the pressure of the corresponding drying rod, which in turn drives the cover plate to rotate until it closes the opening. The coordinated operation of the drive unit, the wire rope, and the opening and closing mechanism makes the entire lifting and closing process seamless. The user only needs to execute a simple lifting command, and the rest of the process is completed automatically.

[0005] Patent document CN221167142U discloses an embedded clothes drying rack, comprising: a main unit housing and a drying rod; a drying module is provided on the main unit housing; the drying module includes a motor assembly and a pulley connected to the output end of the motor assembly, the pulley being connected to the drying rod via a steel wire rope; a drying rod groove is provided along the length of the main unit housing; the drying rod groove is used to store the drying rod. This embedded clothes drying rack of the present invention integrates the traditional main unit and mounting groove assembly into one unit, combined with a hidden drying rod design, improving the modularity of the clothes drying rack and facilitating product packaging, logistics, and installation.

[0006] Current double-pole concealed clothes drying racks still have several obvious shortcomings in design and actual use, mainly in terms of concealment effect and structural fit:

[0007] Firstly, the concealment effect is not thorough enough. When stored, the drying rod is often partially exposed, or there is a noticeable gap between it and the main unit panel. This incomplete concealment not only disrupts the product's visual integrity but also affects the neatness and aesthetics of the home space.

[0008] Secondly, the automatic closing mechanism has a fit defect. Although some products use a cover-type opening and closing mechanism to achieve automatic closing, in actual operation, it is often difficult to achieve a completely flat fit between the cover and the lower surface of the main unit casing. This uneven fit leads to two adverse consequences: on the one hand, it easily creates dust accumulation dead corners, increasing the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance; on the other hand, it creates obvious visual breaks, damaging the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0009] These design flaws directly impact user experience and product market competitiveness, and urgently require breakthroughs in existing technological bottlenecks through structural innovation and process improvement. Utility Model Content

[0010] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a horizontal telescopic invisible drying rod installation structure and clothes drying machine that is more stable and smooth in retraction and prevents inward movement.

[0011] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a clothes drying system based on a side-concealed drying rod, including a main unit, a drying rod, a steel wire rope and a side-mounting assembly; the side-mounting assembly includes a push rod and a steering wheel;

[0012] The main unit includes a lower panel, a hidden pole position located on the side and adapted to the drying rod, and a push rod telescopic area located inside the main unit; the push rod telescopic area is provided with an elastic element inside the push rod, and a movable locking element is provided on the lower side of the push rod; the steering wheel is horizontally arranged inside the push rod; the steel wire rope passes horizontally through the push rod and then changes direction vertically through the steering wheel before connecting to the drying rod;

[0013] The movable locking component has a downwardly protruding limiting protrusion, and the bottom of the push rod telescopic area has a locking hole; the lower side of the outer section of the push rod has a locking function part;

[0014] When the wire rope is released, the compressed elastic element recovers its deformation, causing the push rod to slide outward, thereby driving the drying rod to extend outward; when the limiting protrusion of the movable locking member encounters the locking hole, it falls into it, and the movable locking member is in a locked state to restrict the further bidirectional movement of the push rod. At this time, the push rod carries the drying rod away from the hidden rod position and is located on the outside of the lower panel.

[0015] When the wire rope is retracted and the drying rod rises to its upper limit, the drying rod triggers the locking mechanism, causing the limiting protrusion to disengage from the locking hole. The push rod can retract inward as the wire rope is retracted, compressing the elastic element until the drying rod is fully inserted into the hidden position.

[0016] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the movable locking member includes a lever, the limiting protrusion is located on the lower side of the inner section of the lever, and the outer end of the lever is hinged to the push rod; the movable locking member rotates to achieve locking and unlocking;

[0017] The lower surface of the push rod has a recessed hollow portion. When the movable locking member is in the locked state, the lever protrudes from the recessed hollow portion; the upper side of the drying rod has a trigger portion.

[0018] When the drying rod rises to the upper limit position, the trigger part enters the concave hollow part and pushes the lever upward, so that the movable end of the movable locking member is raised upward and the limiting protrusion disengages from the locking hole.

[0019] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the movable locking member includes two L-shaped split arms and a connecting arm spaced apart from each other. The L-shaped split arms include a long arm and a short arm. The connecting arm connects the end of the short arm. The short arm and the connecting arm together form the limiting protrusion. The end of the long arm is pivotally connected to the push rod.

[0020] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the lower panel is a flat panel light, and the width of the main body shell is smaller than the width of the flat panel light to form a strip-shaped stepped recess on the side of the main body, and the strip-shaped stepped recess forms the hidden pole position.

[0021] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the push rod includes a bottom wall and a first outer wall, a second outer wall, a first isolation wall, and a second isolation wall vertically disposed thereon. The first isolation wall and the second isolation wall are located inside the first outer wall and the second outer wall. Guide grooves are formed between the first isolation wall and the first outer wall and between the second isolation wall and the second outer wall, respectively. Each L-shaped split arm is located in each guide groove.

[0022] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is as follows: a rope area for accommodating the steering wheel is formed between the first isolation wall and the second isolation wall, the axle of the steering wheel is rotatably connected to the first isolation wall and the second isolation wall, and the first isolation wall and the second isolation wall restrict the deflection of the wire rope.

[0023] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the host is provided with a horizontally arranged fixing frame, and the fixing frame spans the width direction of the host.

[0024] The mounting bracket is equipped with a slide rail, which includes a linear slide groove, and a set of lateral mounting components is provided at each end of the linear slide groove.

[0025] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the push rod is connected to a slider fixed thereto, the slider is embedded in the linear slide groove and moves back and forth along the linear slide groove to drive the push rod; a fixing block is provided in the middle of the linear slide groove, and the elastic element is provided between the fixing block and the slider.

[0026] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a guide rod is provided between the fixed block and the slider, and the slider slides along the linear groove relative to the fixed block under the guidance of the guide rod; the elastic element is a columnar spring sleeved on the guide rod.

[0027] The preferred technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a limit switch is provided at the inner end of the push rod telescopic area. When the push rod retracts to trigger the limit switch, the motor driving the wire rope winding stops running.

[0028] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: the drying rod can be completely hidden above the bottom panel when folded, and is not visible to the user below, thus maintaining the integrity of the bottom panel. The folding and unfolding process of the drying rod does not rely on the flipping and lifting of the mounting structure, but rather on simple mechanical movement, resulting in a smoother overall structure and reducing the likelihood of jamming. Furthermore, bidirectional control is achieved through the elastic force of the elastic element and the mechanical interlocking of the movable locking element. The entire process requires no additional power, relying solely on mechanical linkage, ensuring high reliability and simplifying user operation. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothes drying rack, including a main unit 100 and a drying rod 200. The main unit 100 includes a main unit housing 101 and a motor and a wire rope 3 winding mechanism 102 located inside the main unit housing 101. The drying rod 200 is connected to the main unit housing 101 through the main unit 101. The lateral mounting assembly 103 includes a push rod 1 and a steering wheel 2.

[0046] like Figure 1-6 As shown in Figure 9, the main unit 100 includes a lower panel 50, a hidden rod position 5 located on the side and adapted to the drying rod 200, and a push rod telescopic area located inside the main unit; the push rod telescopic area is provided with an elastic element 8 on the inner side of the push rod 1. The push rod 1 is horizontally reciprocatingly disposed on the side of the main unit housing 101 and extends from the main unit housing 101 into the hidden rod position 5.

[0047] like Figure 4-5As shown, the steering wheel 2 is horizontally rotatable inside the push rod 1. The steel wire rope 3 passes horizontally through the push rod 1, then changes direction vertically through the steering wheel 2, and connects to the drying rod 200. A movable locking member 4 is provided on the lower side of the push rod. The bottom of the inner section of the movable locking member 4 is provided with a limiting protrusion 6, and a locking hole 60 is provided inside the main housing 101.

[0048] When the wire rope 3 is released, the compressed elastic element 8 recovers its deformation, causing the push rod 1 to slide outward, thereby driving the drying rod 200 to extend outward. When the limiting protrusion 6 of the movable locking element encounters the locking hole 60, it falls into it, and the movable locking element 4 is in a locked state to restrict the further bidirectional movement of the push rod 1. At this time, the push rod 1, along with the drying rod 200, leaves the hidden rod position 5 and is located outside the lower panel 50.

[0049] When the wire rope 3 is retracted and the drying rod 200 rises to the upper limit position, the drying rod 200 triggers the locking part, causing the limiting protrusion 6 to disengage from the locking hole 60. The push rod 1 can be driven to retract inward as the wire rope 3 is retracted, and compress the elastic element 8 until the drying rod 200 is completely in the hidden rod position 5.

[0050] Therefore, the drying rod 200 can be completely hidden on the upper side of the bottom panel when folded, and is not visible to the user below. This maintains the integrity of the bottom panel. Preferably, the bottom panel is a single, integrated flat panel light. The width of the main unit housing is smaller than the width of the flat panel light, forming a strip-shaped stepped recess on the side of the main unit, which creates the hidden rod position 5. More preferably, the flat panel light has a certain thickness and also forms a scattering area on the side, where the light diffusion on the side modulates the hidden rod position 5.

[0051] Preferably, such as Figure 4 , 11 As shown in Figures 1 and 12, in this embodiment, the movable locking member 4 includes a lever 40, a limiting protrusion 6 is located on the lower side of the inner section of the lever 40, and the outer end of the lever 40 is hinged to the push rod 1; the movable locking member 4 rotates to achieve locking and unlocking.

[0052] like Figure 6-8 As shown, the lower surface of the push rod 1 is provided with a concave hollow part 7. When the movable locking part 4 is in the locked state, the lever 40 is exposed from the concave hollow part 7; the upper side of the drying rod 200 is provided with a trigger part 50.

[0053] like Figure 6 , 8 As shown, when the elastic element 8 causes the push rod 1 to slide outward, the movable locking element 4 loses its support and causes the limiting protrusion 6 to fall and lock into the locking hole 60, forming a fixed structure to prevent the push rod 1 from retracting inward.

[0054] like Figure 5 , 7As shown, when the drying rod 200 rises to the upper limit position, the trigger part 50 enters the concave hollow part 7 and pushes the lever 40 upward, so that the movable end of the movable locking part 4 is raised upward, the limiting protrusion 6 disengages from the locking hole 60, and the push rod 1 can be driven to retract inward as the wire rope 3 is retracted, and compress the elastic part 8 until the drying rod 200 is completely hidden in the hidden rod position 5.

[0055] The structure's retraction and extension process does not rely on the flipping and lifting of the installation structure, but rather on simple mechanical movement, resulting in a smoother overall structure that is less prone to jamming.

[0056] Two-way control is achieved through the interlocking of the elastic element 8 and the movable locking element 4. When the drying rod 200 descends, the elastic element 8 provides an initial thrust, causing the push rod 1 to move outward. Simultaneously, the movable locking element 4 engages with the locking hole using gravity or mechanical interference, forming a rigid support. When the drying rod 200 rises, the tension of the wire rope 3 is first used to lift the drying rod 200. When the drying rod 200 reaches the position of the concave hollow part 7, its top surface contacts the movable locking element 4, causing the movable locking element 4 to lift, releasing the fixation, and realizing the retraction of the push rod 1. The entire process requires no additional power, relying solely on mechanical linkage, resulting in high reliability and simplified user operation.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the concave hollow part 7 has an upwardly convex arc-shaped structure, and the upper surface of the trigger part 50 is an arc surface that conforms to the concave hollow part 7. The arc surface design makes it easy for the trigger part 50 to be embedded into the concave hollow part 7, reducing the installation accuracy requirements. Furthermore, the arc-shaped concave hollow part 7 and the arc surface of the drying rod 200 form a single point of contact, achieving precise triggering. This contact avoids the noise of repeated metal collisions, improving the user experience. This silent design detail is particularly important for balconies adjacent to bedrooms or living rooms.

[0058] like Figure 9 , 11 As shown, the push rod 1 includes a body 11, which includes a first outer side wall 111, a second outer side wall 112, and a bottom wall. The movable locking member 4 is located inside the body 11, with its outer end pivotally connected to at least one outer side wall, and its inner end having a downward-protruding limiting protrusion 6 passing through a through hole in the bottom wall. In this mechanism, the movable locking member 4 moves using a small-amplitude rotation structure, automatically falling when it loses support to achieve locking. When the drying rod 200 touches the movable locking member 4, the lever principle forces the movable locking member 4 to rotate, automatically triggering the movable locking member 4 to disengage. In this scheme, although the movable locking member 4 achieves locking by rotation, its amplitude is only a very small amplitude required to reach the depth of the locking hole, and the load of the drying rod 200 does not directly act on it, thus making it less prone to jamming.

[0059] like Figure 11 , 12As shown, the movable locking member 4 includes two L-shaped split arms 12 spaced apart from each other and a connecting arm 13. The L-shaped split arms 12 include a long arm portion 121 and a short arm portion 122. The connecting arm 13 connects the end of the short arm portion 122, and the short arm portion 122 and the connecting arm 13 together form a limiting protrusion 6. The end of the long arm portion 121 is pivotally connected to the two outer side walls of the body 11.

[0060] The push rod 1 employs a double-arm structure that, while increasing stability through a wider span, maintains its lightweight nature, facilitating easy lifting upon triggering. The long arm 121 of the L-shaped split arm 12 acts as a lever, while the short arm 122 forms an integral limiting protrusion 6 structure via the connecting arm 13. When the rod 200 contacts the movable locking member 4, force is transmitted through the long arm 121, causing the short arm 122 to lift and the limiting protrusion 6 to disengage from the locking hole. This design increases the lever arm and reduces the force required for unlocking.

[0061] Correspondingly, such as Figure 11 , 12 As shown, the main body 11 includes a first isolation wall 113 and a second isolation wall 114. The first isolation wall 113 and the second isolation wall 114 are located inside the first outer wall 111 and the second outer wall 112. Guide grooves 115 are formed between the first isolation wall 113 and the first outer wall 111, and between the second isolation wall 114 and the second outer wall 112, respectively. Each L-shaped split arm 12 is located within each guide groove 115. The area between the first isolation wall 113 and the second isolation wall 114 is a rope area. The axle of the steering wheel is rotatably connected to the first isolation wall 113 and the second isolation wall 114.

[0062] The guide groove 115 provides linear guidance for the L-shaped split arm 12, restricting its movement trajectory and preventing the movable locking member 4 from shifting or jamming, ensuring that the movable locking member 4 rotates only along a preset path. The isolation wall also serves to isolate the wire rope 3, preventing it from shifting, and isolates the area of ​​the wire rope 3 from the area of ​​the movable locking member 4, thus protecting the wire rope 3, preventing it from contacting the movable locking member 4, and reducing wear.

[0063] In this embodiment, the body 11 also includes a top wall 116, two outer side walls and two isolation walls connected between the top wall 116 and the bottom wall 117, which strengthens the overall strength of the push rod 1. The area between the two isolation walls is the mounting area for the steering wheel 2, and the shaft of the steering wheel 2 passes through the two isolation walls.

[0064] like Figure 1-3As shown, the motor and winding mechanism 102 are located in the middle of the length and width of the main housing 101. Hidden rod positions 5 and drying rods 200 are respectively provided on both sides of the width direction of the main housing 101. Each drying rod 200 is connected to the main housing 101 through a pair of clothes drying systems based on lateral hidden drying rods.

[0065] like Figure 4 , 7 As shown in Figure -10, a horizontally arranged mounting bracket 9 is provided inside the main housing 101, spanning the width of the main housing 101. A slide rail 10 is provided on the mounting bracket 9, which includes a linear slide groove 15. A set of lateral mounting components 103 are respectively provided at both ends of the linear slide groove 15. The mounting bracket 9, the slide rail 10, and the two lateral mounting components 103 are integrated as an independent sub-module. The slide rail 10 and mounting components can be adjusted before final assembly, improving production efficiency and product consistency. The mounting bracket 9, spanning the width of the main housing 101, strengthens the overall structural strength of the main housing 101 and prevents deformation. Generally, the main housing 101 is usually made of aluminum alloy or plastic, which is prone to deformation. The mounting bracket 9, made of sheet metal, can maintain dimensional stability over a long period, thus ensuring the reliability of the mounting components at both ends.

[0066] like Figure 7-10 As shown, the push rod 1 includes a slider 16 fixed to the body 11, which is embedded in a linear groove 15. A fixing block 17 is provided in the middle of the linear groove 15, and a guide rod is provided between the fixing block 17 and the slider 16. The slider 16 slides along the linear groove 15 relative to the fixing block 17 under the guidance of the guide rod 30. The elastic element 8 is a columnar spring sleeved outside the guide rod 30. In the compressed state, one end of the columnar spring abuts against the end of the fixing block 17, and the other end abuts against the end of the slider 16. The guide rod serves as the motion axis of the slider 16, ensuring the stable movement of the slider 16 and preventing wobbling. The guide rod not only guides the sliding but also provides a central positioning for the columnar spring, ensuring that the spring force always acts along the axis, avoiding friction between the slider 16 and the groove wall caused by oblique force, and ensuring smooth reset even after many years of use.

[0067] Preferred, such as Figure 9-10 As shown, the outer section of the linear slide 15 is provided with a plug 18, which prevents the slider 16 from disengaging from the slide rail.

[0068] like Figure 7-10 As shown, the mounting bracket 9 is U-shaped and includes a central mounting groove 91. The slide rail 10 and the lateral mounting assembly 103 are located within the mounting groove 91. The U-shaped mounting groove 91 encloses the assembly, improving overall rigidity and safety.

[0069] like Figure 9-10As shown, the fixed frame 9 is equipped with a limit switch 19. When the push rod 1 retracts to trigger the limit switch 19, the motor driving the wire rope 3 stops running, the drying rod 200 stops rising and is hidden in the hidden rod position 5. In this structure, the U-shaped fixing groove 91 forms a metal shielding layer, which can effectively isolate the interference of the motor and other components on the signal of the limit switch 19 and prevent false triggering.

[0070] like Figure 4-10 As shown, the main housing 101 is also provided with a vertically arranged steering roller 14. The wire rope 3 is led out from the winding mechanism 102 and extends horizontally along the length direction of the main housing 101. After being turned by the steering roller 14, it extends horizontally along the width direction of the main housing 101 and wraps around the horizontally arranged steering roller 2. The steering roller 14 is mounted on the mounting part inside the fixing frame 9. The side wall of the fixing frame 9 is provided with a through hole, through which the wire rope 3 enters the push rod 1 inside the fixing frame 9.

[0071] This invention introduces a clothes drying system based on a side-concealed drying rod. Specific examples are used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this invention. The descriptions of the embodiments are merely for the purpose of helping to understand this invention and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this invention.

A clothes drying system based on a side-concealed drying rod, characterized in that: Includes the main unit, drying rack, wire rope, and lateral mounting assembly; the lateral mounting assembly includes push rods and steering wheels; The main unit includes a lower panel, a hidden pole position located on the side and adapted to the drying rod, and a push rod telescopic area located inside the main unit; the push rod telescopic area is provided with an elastic element inside the push rod, and a movable locking element is provided on the lower side of the push rod; the steering wheel is horizontally arranged inside the push rod; the steel wire rope passes horizontally through the push rod and then changes direction vertically through the steering wheel before connecting to the drying rod; The movable locking component has a downwardly protruding limiting protrusion, and the bottom of the push rod telescopic area has a locking hole; the lower side of the outer section of the push rod has a locking function part; When the wire rope is released, the compressed elastic element recovers its deformation, causing the push rod to slide outward, thereby driving the drying rod to extend outward; when the limiting protrusion of the movable locking member encounters the locking hole, it falls into it, and the movable locking member is in a locked state to restrict the further bidirectional movement of the push rod. At this time, the push rod carries the drying rod away from the hidden rod position and is located on the outside of the lower panel. When the wire rope is retracted and the drying rod rises to its upper limit, the drying rod triggers the locking mechanism, causing the limiting protrusion to disengage from the locking hole. The push rod can retract inward as the wire rope is retracted, compressing the elastic element until the drying rod is fully inserted into the hidden position.

2. A clothes drying system based on a side-concealed drying rod according to claim 1, characterized in that: The movable locking component includes a lever, the limiting protrusion is located on the lower side of the inner section of the lever, and the outer end of the lever is hinged to the push rod; the movable locking component rotates to lock and unlock. The lower surface of the push rod has a recessed hollow portion. When the movable locking member is in the locked state, the lever protrudes from the recessed hollow portion; the upper side of the drying rod has a trigger portion. When the drying rod rises to the upper limit position, the trigger part enters the concave hollow part and pushes the lever upward, so that the movable end of the movable locking member is raised upward and the limiting protrusion disengages from the locking hole.

3. A clothes drying system based on a side-concealed drying rod according to claim 1, characterized in that: The movable locking member includes two L-shaped split arms and a connecting arm spaced apart from each other. The L-shaped split arms include a long arm and a short arm. The connecting arm connects the end of the short arm. The short arm and the connecting arm together form the limiting protrusion. The ends of the long arm are respectively pivotally connected to the push rods.

4. A clothes drying system based on a side-concealed drying rod according to claim 1, characterized in that: The lower panel is a flat panel light. The width of the main unit housing is smaller than the width of the flat panel light to form a strip-shaped stepped recess on the side of the main unit. The strip-shaped stepped recess forms the hidden pole position.

5. A clothes drying system based on a side-concealed drying rod according to claim 3, characterized in that: The push rod includes a bottom wall and a first outer wall, a second outer wall, a first isolation wall, and a second isolation wall vertically disposed thereon.
