Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a clothes drying rack, and more particularly to a detachable wire rope connection mechanism for a clothes drying rack. Background Technology
[0002] The patent background technology of the easily disassembled wire rope connection structure: Electric lifting clothes drying racks are widely used due to their advantages such as automatic lifting and space saving. However, in long-term use, wire rope jamming, folding frame corrosion or deformation of connection parts can easily cause the drying rod to jam, requiring quick separation of the drying rod from the main unit for repair. However, the existing wire rope connection structure has obvious defects.
[0003] The prior art 1 is the "Quick Connection Structure of Steel Wire Rope Hook and Clothes Drying Rack" authorized by CN 221628588 U, which embeds the steel wire rope hook inside the pole base through multi-directional limiting. Although it achieves tool-free installation and a flat appearance, the hook is completely embedded, and multi-directional limiting must be overcome during disassembly. After long-term use, it is easy to cause jamming, making disassembly inconvenient and unable to quickly separate the drying rod.
[0004] The existing technology 2 is the "detachable connection structure between the lower end of the wire rope and the drying rod" in the authorization announcement number CN 222963245 U. It connects the wire rope to the tubular drying rod and the slotted fastener. Although the height can be adjusted, the fastener penetrates through the slot, which damages the structural integrity. It is prone to cracking under long-term load and does not solve the problem of quick separation when the drying rod gets stuck.
[0005] In summary, existing structures are either inconvenient to disassemble or lack sufficient strength. Developing a wire rope connection structure that combines high strength with quick disassembly has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a wire rope connection mechanism that does not affect the structure of the drying rack and is easy to disassemble.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a steel wire rope connection mechanism that is easy to disassemble, characterized in that it includes a rod seat, a connecting frame, an adjusting screw and a steel wire rope with a plug, wherein the connecting frame is composed of a horizontal plate and a fixing frame located on both sides of the horizontal plate, the fixing frame is fixedly installed on the outer side of the inner wall of the rod seat by screws, the horizontal plate is provided with a threaded hole and a through hole through which the steel wire rope plug can pass, and a connecting groove is provided between the threaded hole and the through hole; The adjusting screw has an external thread on its outer periphery that mates with a threaded hole on the horizontal plate. Its lower end has a cavity that can accommodate a wire rope plug. The side wall has a groove that runs through the upper and lower ends and extends from the side wall to the center position. The groove communicates with the cavity. The plug at one end of the wire rope can pass through the through hole on the horizontal plate of the connecting frame and be accommodated in the cavity at the lower end of the adjusting screw.
[0008] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the fixing frame includes vertical plates on both sides of the horizontal plate and a connecting plate after the vertical plates are bent, and the connecting plate is connected to the inner wall of the rod seat by screws.
[0009] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the adjusting screw includes an upper threaded section and a lower end with a larger diameter; the outer diameter of the end is larger than the diameter of the threaded hole; and the end is provided with a slotted or cross-shaped groove.
[0010] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: a baffle plate is provided at the bottom of the connecting frame, an inspection port is provided on the baffle plate, and the baffle plate is connected and fixed together with the rod seat.
[0011] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: a vertical back plate is provided on the inner side of the horizontal plate, and the vertical back plate is attached to the side wall of the rod seat.
[0012] Another preferred subject is: a clothes drying rack, characterized in that it includes a clothes drying rack body, a clothes drying rod, and a steel wire rope connection mechanism that is easy to disassemble; the steel wire rope is led out from the drive device of the clothes drying rack body; The easily detachable wire rope connection mechanism includes a rod base, a connecting frame, an adjusting screw, and a wire rope with a plug. The connecting frame consists of a horizontal plate and fixed frames located on both sides of the horizontal plate. The fixed frames are fixed to the outer side of the inner wall of the rod base by screws. The horizontal plate has threaded holes and through holes through which the wire rope plug can pass, and a connecting groove is provided between the threaded holes and the through holes. The adjusting screw has external threads on its outer periphery that mate with the threaded holes on the horizontal plate, and a cavity at its lower end to accommodate the wire rope plug. A groove extends from the upper and lower ends of the adjusting screw to the center position, and this groove communicates with the cavity. The plug at one end of the wire rope can pass through the through hole on the horizontal plate of the connecting frame and be accommodated in the cavity at the lower end of the adjusting screw. The tension of the wire rope can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting screw, thereby adjusting the height of the clothes drying pole.
[0013] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the fixing frame includes vertical plates on both sides of the horizontal plate and a connecting plate after the vertical plates are bent, and the connecting plate is connected to the inner wall of the rod seat by screws.
[0014] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the adjusting screw includes an upper threaded section and a lower end with a larger diameter; the outer diameter of the end is larger than the diameter of the threaded hole; and the end is provided with a slotted or cross-shaped groove.
[0015] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the bottom of the connecting frame is provided with a baffle plate, the baffle plate is provided with an inspection port, and the baffle plate is connected and fixed together with the rod seat.
[0016] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: a vertical back plate is provided on the inner side of the horizontal plate, and the vertical back plate is attached to the side wall of the rod seat.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the easy-to-disassemble wire rope connection mechanism consists of a connecting frame, adjusting screws and wire rope with plugs as independent modules, which are directly locked to the outer wall of the pole seat by the fixing frame. The drying pole body does not need to be drilled, tapped or welded, thus maintaining its integrity and strength; the through hole on the horizontal plate and the connecting groove form a one-way open slide, and the plug can easily slide into the cavity by gravity, realizing quick installation and use.
[0018] Furthermore, the cavity depth on the adjusting screw is greater than the thickness of the plug, ensuring the plug is always completely enclosed. Combined with a groove slightly wider than the rope diameter, this allows for smooth wire rope movement and reliable positioning. The adjusting screw is threaded into the threaded hole; simply rotating it tightens or releases the wire rope axially, achieving tension adjustment in one step. For maintenance, loosening the adjusting screw counterclockwise allows the wire rope to exit horizontally along the groove, easily done with one hand. The groove extends to the screw's central axis, forming an open window, preventing jamming even if the wire rope deforms slightly due to long-term load. This eliminates the traditional action of removing screws to pull out the wire rope and loosening the fastener, significantly reducing on-site maintenance difficulty and easily achieving the desired functionality.
[0019] In addition, a baffle plate is installed at the bottom of the connecting frame, which surrounds the frame within the closed cavity of the pole base. This helps to prevent dust and moisture generated during clothes drying, and protects easily rusted screws, bolts, and plates on the connecting frame, extending their service life. Directly below the adjusting screw, there is an inspection port on the baffle plate. This port allows users to loosen the screws and remove the wire rope without removing the entire drying pole, making maintenance very convenient. The inspection port on the baffle plate also allows for visual inspection of the screws without disassembling the entire pole, achieving a dual function of protection and maintenance.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it will not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the easily detachable wire rope connection mechanism 03 is constructed by combining and fixing the connecting frame 11, adjusting screw 12, and wire rope 13 with a plug onto the pole base 10. The through hole b on the horizontal plate 111 of the connecting frame 11 and the connecting groove c form a one-way open slide. Under the action of gravity, the wire rope plug can be easily moved into the predetermined position cavity 122. The fixing frame 112 is tightened to the outer wall of the pole base 10 with screws. The overall structure is complete, avoiding the need for drilling, tapping, or welding on the drying rod body. This maintains the integrity of the drying rod body and effectively protects its strength. The assembly of the entire structure is very simple and quick.
[0025] The adjusting screw 12 is threaded into the threaded hole a. Rotating the adjusting screw 12 allows for axial movement to tighten the plugged steel wire rope 13, which is fixed inside the cavity 122. The depth of the cavity 122 is greater than the thickness of the plug, ensuring that the plug is always completely enclosed during adjustment, making the entire process smoother and preventing the steel wire rope from easily slipping out of position. The width of the groove 123 is slightly larger than the diameter of the steel wire rope, allowing for accurate and smooth movement of the steel wire rope into or out of the connecting frame 11, making installation and debugging very convenient.
[0026] When maintenance is needed, simply loosen the adjusting screw 12 with a screwdriver, and the wire rope can be easily and easily removed horizontally along the groove 123. The entire separation action can be performed with one hand, which is much more convenient and faster than the traditional embedded clip structure that requires multi-directional prying with needle-nose pliers. The groove 123 extends to the central axis of the screw, forming an open window. Even if the wire rope undergoes slight plastic deformation due to long-term load, it will not be stuck in the cavity 122, significantly reducing the difficulty of on-site maintenance and the cost of after-sales maintenance.
[0027] This mechanism, through the combination of through hole a, cavity 122, and connecting groove c, compresses the traditional steps of removing screws, pulling out the wire rope, and loosening the fasteners into a single step of loosening screws and pulling out the wire rope. The simple disassembly and assembly structure and usage make assembly, maintenance, and repair much easier without increasing the number of parts.
[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the vertical plate d of the fixing frame 112, together with the bent connecting plate e, forms a U-shaped load-bearing frame. The bent structure makes the connecting frame 11 more compact. The entire connecting frame 11 is fixed to the side wall of the pole base 10 by bolts on the connecting plate e without damaging the main body of the clothesline. The vertical plate d, connected to the horizontal plate 111, acts as a reinforcing rib for the overall structure of the connecting frame 11, making the entire structure of the connecting frame 11 more robust. The overall U-shaped frame maximizes the compactness of the entire spatial layout and strengthens the entire load-bearing structure, thereby extending the service life of the clothesline wire rope under secondary stress.
[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the outer diameter of the lower end 124 of the adjusting screw 12 is larger than that of the threaded hole a. The screw is automatically stopped by the stepped surface upon screwing in, preventing over-tightening and deformation of the horizontal plate 111. The external thread design and threaded connection of the horizontal plate 111 also prevent the adjusting screw 12 from falling into the rod seat 10. The enlarged end 124 allows for a larger slotted or Phillips head (v) to engage with larger screwdrivers, facilitating easy screwing in and loosening. The protruding end 124 is easily identifiable, facilitating identification and operation during maintenance and repair.
[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 ,like Figure 5As shown, the bottom of the connecting frame 11 is equipped with a baffle plate 113, which surrounds the connecting frame 11 within the enclosed cavity of the pole base 10. This baffle plate can prevent dust and moisture generated during clothes drying to a certain extent, and protects the screws, connecting bolts, and plates on the connecting frame 11 that are prone to rust, increasing their service life. Directly below the adjusting screw 12, the baffle plate 113 has an inspection port f. This port f can be inserted with a screwdriver or Allen wrench, allowing users to loosen the screws and remove the wire rope without removing the entire drying pole, making maintenance very convenient. The inspection port f on the baffle plate 113 allows for visual inspection of the screw condition without disassembling the entire pole, achieving a dual function of protection and maintenance.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the vertical back plate g, which is attached to the side wall of the pole base 10, disperses the tension of the wire rope acting on the horizontal plate 111. The effective contact surface distributes the force to the side wall of the pole base, and the structure of the vertical back plate g further strengthens the overall strength of the connecting frame 11. The vertical back plate g is tightly attached to the side wall of the pole base 10. During installation, it is attached first and then locked, which can effectively fix the connecting frame 11 to the pole base 10. The contact surface increases the contact area, which can better play the connection role and reduce the noise caused by the shaking of the connecting frame 11 under force.
[0032] In this embodiment, the wire rope plug can be easily slid into the cavity 122 at a predetermined position through the through hole b and the connecting groove c on the horizontal plate 111 of the connecting frame 11, achieving quick installation. During maintenance, simply loosen the adjusting screw 12, and the wire rope 13 can be horizontally withdrawn along the groove 123. The entire process can be completed with one hand, greatly reducing maintenance difficulty and time costs.
[0033] In addition, the connecting frame 11 is locked to the outer wall of the rod base 10 by the fixing frame 112, avoiding the need for drilling, tapping, or welding on the drying rod body, thus maintaining the integrity and strength of the drying rod. At the same time, the design of the adjusting screw 12 and the fitting structure of the vertical back plate g further enhance the strength of the connecting frame 11, disperse the tension of the steel wire rope 13, reduce swaying and noise, and extend the service life of the clothes drying rack.
[0034] Furthermore, the baffle 113 at the bottom of the connecting frame 11 encloses the entire mechanism within the cavity of the pole seat 10, effectively preventing dust and moisture from entering, protecting components such as screws and connecting bolts, and increasing their service life. The inspection port f on the baffle 113 allows users to perform maintenance without removing the entire drying pole, achieving a dual function of protection and maintenance, and improving the user experience.
