Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the clothes drying rack provided by this utility model includes: a control box 1, two supporting shells 9, a heating and drying mechanism, an airflow guiding mechanism, and three air outlet branches;

[0025] The control box 1 contains a controller and a power supply module for power supply; the power supply module is used to connect to the mains power through a power plug; the control box 1 is equipped with a display screen 2 and a button panel 3 that are electrically connected to the controller; the heating and drying mechanism is controlled by the controller.

[0026] The heating and drying mechanism outputs hot air, which is guided by an airflow guide mechanism into the air outlet branches. This allows the hot air to enter the lower part of the garment through the outlet branches, where it rises to achieve a drying effect. Compared to structures where the air outlet is located on the hanger body, this structure dries more evenly and efficiently. The hanger can be equipped with or removed air outlet branches depending on the type of garment it supports, and the airflow guide mechanism can be adjusted to control the hot air flow. For example, to support a long-sleeved shirt, three air outlet branches are installed, with the two side branches extending into the sleeves. Adjusting the airflow guide mechanism directs the hot air into the bottom of the heating and drying mechanism and the two supporting outer shells. The air is blown out through three air outlet branches. When supporting short-sleeved shirts, only the middle air outlet branch needs to be installed. Hot air is blown out directly through the middle air outlet branch and the two supporting shells 9. When supporting trousers, the air outlet branches on both sides are installed, so that the two air outlet branches extend into the two trouser legs respectively. Adjust the air direction guiding mechanism so that the hot air only enters the two supporting shells 9 and is blown out through the air outlet branches on both sides. This can dry different clothes accordingly and improve versatility. The heating and drying mechanism can be controlled by the button panel 3, such as the drying time of the heating and drying mechanism. The display screen 2 displays information such as the remaining drying time under the control of the controller.

[0027] Furthermore, the heating and drying mechanism includes a mounting box 5, a fan 7, and a heating channel 8; the upper side of the mounting box 5 is fixed to the lower side of the control box 1; the fan 7 is installed on the upper side inside the mounting box 5; a second electric control switch electrically connected to the controller is connected in series on the power supply line of the fan 7; multiple air inlets 6 are provided on the top of the mounting box 5; the heating channel 8 is installed in the middle of the mounting box 5, and the air outlet of the fan 7 is connected to the heating channel 8; an electric heating wire is provided inside the heating channel 8, and a first electric control switch electrically connected to the controller is connected in series on the power supply line of the electric heating wire.

[0028] The heating element heats the air, and the fan 7 blows the hot air to form hot air. The fan 7 and the heating element can be controlled independently. The fan 7 can be turned on independently to dry fabrics that require high temperature.

[0029] Furthermore, the wind direction guiding mechanism includes an adjustment knob 19, two adjustment gears 18, and two rotating shafts 10; the two rotating shafts 10 are longitudinally and rotatably mounted on the lower part of the mounting box 5, and are parallel to each other; wind direction guiding plates 11 are fixed on both rotating shafts 10, and the front and rear edges of the wind direction guiding plates 11 are respectively close to the front and rear inner walls of the mounting box 5; the upper edges of the two wind direction guiding plates 11 are used to fit together, and the lower edges are respectively used to fit tightly against the inner walls of the mounting box 5 on the lower side of the two supporting shells 9; the two adjustment gears 18 are respectively mounted on the same through end of the two rotating shafts 10, and mesh with each other; the adjustment knob 19 is synchronously rotated and mounted on one of the adjustment gears 18; a locking unit for rotating and positioning the two adjustment gears 18 is installed on the mounting box 5.

[0030] When the upper edges of the two airflow guide plates 11 are in contact with each other and the lower edges are in close contact with the inner walls of the mounting box 5 on the lower side of the two support housings 9, the hot air will be guided into the two support housings 9 and will not reach the bottom of the mounting box 5. When the two airflow guide plates 11 are parallel to each other, the hot air will enter the bottom of the mounting box 5 and the two support housings 9. By rotating the adjustment knob 19, the two adjustment gears 18 drive the two rotating shafts 10 to rotate relative to each other, thereby guiding the hot air. The locking unit is used to lock the two adjustment gears 18.

[0031] Furthermore, the positioning unit includes a locking tube 14, a locking block 16, and a locking spring 15; the locking tube 14 is fixed on the mounting box 5; the locking block 16 is slidably inserted into the lower end of the locking tube 14; the locking block 16 is provided with two arc-shaped slots for engaging the adjusting gears 18; friction pads are provided on both arc-shaped slots; the locking spring 15 is installed inside the locking tube 14 to drive the two arc-shaped slots of the locking block 16 to press tightly against the two adjusting gears 18; the locking tube 14 is provided with an unlocking elongated hole; and an unlocking protrusion 17 penetrating the locking elongated hole is fixed on the locking block 16.

[0032] The locking spring 15 drives the friction pads on the two arc-shaped slots of the locking block 16 to press tightly against the two adjusting gears 18, thereby achieving frictional positioning of the two adjusting gears 18 and playing a locking role; the unlocking is achieved by moving the unlocking protrusion 17 to disengage the friction pads from the adjusting gears 18.

[0033] Furthermore, the exhaust branch includes an extended outer pipe 20 and an extended inner pipe 21;
