Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothes drying equipment technology, and more particularly to a movable lighting device and a clothes drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] A clothes drying rack is an intelligent household appliance driven by an electric motor. Its basic function is to provide intelligent and automated solutions for drying clothes and bedding for various households. Existing clothes drying racks generally integrate the lighting module and the drying module on the same main body to improve the functionality of the clothes drying rack. However, with this structure, the main body of the clothes drying rack is exposed outside the lighting module, resulting in poor overall integrity. When users use the clothes drying rack to dry clothes, they will block part of the light from the lighting module, leading to a decrease in lighting effect. Summary of the Invention

The technical solution is as follows: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a movable lighting device, comprising: a mounting body having an inwardly recessed receiving cavity formed therein; a moving mechanism disposed within the receiving cavity; and a lighting mechanism disposed on the movable end of the moving mechanism; wherein the moving mechanism can drive the lighting mechanism to move relative to the mounting body, so that the lighting mechanism has a first position received within the receiving cavity and a second position at least partially extending outside the receiving cavity.

[0004] In one embodiment, a transmission component is provided in the mounting body, and a transmission motor adapted to the transmission component is provided on the moving mechanism, the transmission motor being connected to the transmission component in a transmission connection.

[0007] In one embodiment, the lighting mechanism includes a first lamp plate and a first connecting rod disposed on the first lamp plate; the first connecting rod is connected to the movable end of the first motor; when the lighting mechanism is in the second position, the first lamp plate is located outside the accommodating cavity.

[0008] In one embodiment, the moving mechanism includes a second housing and a second transmission assembly disposed within the second housing; the second housing is fixedly connected to the drive motor, and the second transmission assembly is connected to the lighting mechanism.

[0009] In one embodiment, the second transmission assembly includes a second motor, a transmission gear set disposed at the output end of the second motor, and at least two transmission racks meshing with the transmission gear set; the second motor is disposed within the second housing, and the transmission racks are movably disposed within the second housing and connected to the lighting mechanism.

[0010] In one embodiment, the lighting mechanism includes at least two opposing second lamp plates and a second connecting rod disposed on each of the second lamp plates; the second connecting rod is connected to the transmission rack; when the lighting mechanism is in the second position, the second lamp plates are located outside the accommodating cavity.

[0018] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described to make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a movable lighting device, including: a mounting body 1, which has an inwardly recessed receiving cavity formed inside; a moving mechanism 2, disposed within the receiving cavity; and a lighting mechanism 3, disposed on the movable end of the moving mechanism 2; wherein the moving mechanism 2 can drive the lighting mechanism 3 to move relative to the mounting body 1, so that the lighting mechanism 3 has a first position received within the receiving cavity and a second position at least partially extending outside the receiving cavity.

[0021] In this embodiment, the mounting body 1 is generally installed on the ceiling of a balcony. The mounting body 1 has an inwardly recessed receiving cavity. The moving mechanism 2 is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the lighting mechanism 3 is disposed on the movable end of the moving mechanism 2. The moving mechanism 2 can drive the lighting mechanism 3 to move vertically and horizontally relative to the mounting body 1. When the lighting mechanism 3 is housed in the receiving cavity, the lighting mechanism 3 is in the first position, and the lighting mechanism 3 can close the opening of the receiving cavity. When the lighting mechanism 3 extends to the outside of the receiving cavity, the lighting mechanism 3 is in the second position, and the receiving cavity can be exposed. Under the driving action of the moving mechanism 2, the lighting mechanism 3 can change between the first position and the second position, so that the lighting mechanism 3 is not blocked by clothing, thereby achieving the best lighting effect of the device.

[0022] When a movable lighting device is applied to a clothes drying rack, it can prevent the light from being blocked by the clothes drying rack when clothes are being dried. The main body of the clothes drying rack is housed in the receiving cavity to achieve complete concealment of the main body of the clothes drying rack, resulting in better overall integrity, saving space and improving the aesthetics of the structure.

[0023] In addition, the lighting mechanism 3 can adopt a single lamp panel structure or a double lamp panel structure, which greatly enhances the design flexibility of the lighting mechanism 3. Different lamp panel structures can achieve different deployment effects to expand the lighting area or form specific light patterns, thus improving both aesthetics and functionality.

[0024] Furthermore, a transmission component 4 is provided inside the mounting body 1, and a transmission motor 5 adapted to the transmission component 4 is provided on the moving mechanism 2, and the transmission motor 5 is connected to the transmission component 4 in a transmission connection.

[0025] The transmission component 4 is fixed inside the mounting body 1, and the transmission motor 5 is fixed on the moving mechanism 2. The transmission component 4 and the transmission motor 5 are connected by transmission, so that when the transmission motor 5 is working, the moving mechanism 2 can move vertically back and forth along the direction of the transmission component 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, the transmission component 4 and the transmission motor 5 can be a combination of lead screw motors. The lead screw motor combination runs smoothly, has high transmission accuracy, and good self-locking performance. When the lighting mechanism 3 needs to move vertically, the transmission motor 5 moves vertically on the transmission component 4 to drive the lighting mechanism 3 to move up and down relative to the mounting body 1, thereby achieving the effect of vertical position change of the lighting mechanism 3.

[0027] Furthermore, the moving mechanism 2 includes a first housing 6 and a first transmission component disposed within the first housing 6; the first housing 6 is fixedly connected to the transmission motor 5, and the first transmission component is connected to the lighting mechanism 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, the moving mechanism 2 includes a first housing 6 and a first transmission assembly. The transmission motor 5 is fixedly installed in the first housing 6. The first transmission assembly is disposed in the first housing 6 and connected to the lighting mechanism 3. The first housing 6 can move up and down along the mounting body 1 under the driving action of the transmission motor 5. The lighting mechanism 3 can move left and right along the mounting body 1 under the driving action of the first transmission assembly, thereby achieving the effect of changing the horizontal position of the lighting mechanism 3.

[0029] Furthermore, the first transmission assembly includes a first motor 7 and a translation screw 8 adapted to the first motor 7; the translation screw 8 is horizontally disposed within the first housing 6; the first motor 7 is slidably disposed within the first housing 6 and is transmissionally connected to the translation screw 8; the movable end of the first motor 7 is connected to the lighting mechanism 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, the translation screw 8 is rotatably and horizontally disposed within the first housing 6, and the first motor 7 is slidably disposed within the first housing 6 and is connected to the translation screw 8 in a transmission manner. The movable end of the first motor 7 is connected to the lighting mechanism 3. (See also...) Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the first motor 7 is working, it can slide back and forth in the first housing 6 through the translation screw 8, thereby driving the lighting mechanism 3 to move left and right along the bottom of the mounting body 1, thus achieving the horizontal driving effect of the lighting mechanism 3.

[0031] Furthermore, the lighting mechanism 3 includes a first lamp plate 9 and a first connecting rod 10 disposed on the first lamp plate 9; the first connecting rod 10 is connected to the movable end of the first motor 7; when the lighting mechanism 3 is in the second position, the first lamp plate 9 is located outside the accommodating cavity.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lighting mechanism 3 includes a first lamp plate 9, and a first connecting rod 10 is fixed on the first lamp plate 9 and connected to the movable end of the first motor 7. When the first motor 7 slides in the first housing 6, it can drive the first lamp plate 9 to move left and right along the lower part of the mounting body 1 to achieve a horizontal driving effect on the first lamp plate 9. When the lighting mechanism 3 is in the second position, the first lamp plate 9 is located outside the accommodating cavity to open the accommodating cavity.

[0033] Example 2 like Figures 5 to 7As shown, this embodiment provides a movable lighting device. The moving mechanism 2 includes a second housing 11 and a second transmission component disposed within the second housing 11. The second housing 11 is fixedly connected to the transmission motor 5, and the second transmission component is connected to the lighting mechanism 3.

[0034] Unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the moving mechanism 2 includes a second housing 11 and a second transmission assembly. The transmission motor 5 is fixedly installed inside the second housing 11, and the second transmission assembly is located inside the second housing 11 and connected to the lighting mechanism 3. The second housing 11 can move up and down along the mounting body 1 under the drive of the transmission motor 5, and the lighting mechanism 3 can move left and right along the mounting body 1 under the drive of the second transmission assembly, thereby achieving the effect of changing the horizontal position of the lighting mechanism 3.

[0035] Furthermore, the second transmission assembly includes a second motor 12, a transmission gear set 13 disposed at the output end of the second motor 12, and at least two transmission racks 14 meshing with the transmission gear set 13; the second motor 12 is disposed within the second housing 11, and the transmission racks 14 are movably disposed within the second housing 11 and connected to the lighting mechanism 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second motor 12 is fixedly installed inside the second housing 11. The transmission gear set 13 includes two meshing gears (bevel gears), one of which is located on the output end of the second motor 12, and the other is rotatably located inside the second housing 11. Two transmission racks 14 are respectively located on opposite sides of the transmission gear set 13, and the two transmission racks 14 are respectively connected to the lighting mechanisms 3 on both sides. See [reference needed] Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the second motor 12 is working, it can drive the transmission racks 14 on both sides to move horizontally in opposite directions through the transmission gear set 13, thereby driving the lighting mechanism 3 to move left and right along the bottom of the mounting body 1, thus achieving the horizontal driving effect of the lighting mechanism 3.

[0037] Furthermore, the lighting mechanism 3 includes at least two opposing second lamp plates 15 and a second connecting rod 16 disposed on each of the second lamp plates 15; the second connecting rod 16 is connected to the transmission rack 14; when the lighting mechanism 3 is in the second position, the second lamp plate 15 is located outside the accommodating cavity.

[0038] In this embodiment, the lighting mechanism 3 includes two opposing second lamp plates 15, each of which is provided with a second connecting rod 16. The second connecting rod 16 is connected to the transmission racks 14 on both sides of the second transmission assembly. When the second transmission assembly is working, the transmission racks 14 can drive the two second lamp plates 15 to move in opposite directions, so that the second lamp plates 15 open to both sides respectively, thereby achieving a horizontal driving effect on the second lamp plates 15. When the lighting mechanism 3 is in the second position, the second lamp plates 15 are located outside the accommodating cavity, so that the accommodating cavity is open.

[0039] Example 3 like Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothes drying rack, including a clothes drying rack body 17 and a movable lighting device; the clothes drying rack body 17 is housed in the receiving cavity of the mounting body 1.

[0040] Existing concealed clothes drying racks have exposed main units and drying rods. When clothes are used to dry clothes, the clothes will block part of the light, resulting in reduced lighting effect. In addition, when the main unit is exposed, its air outlet is also exposed to the outside, which can cause mosquitoes and dust to fly into the air outlet and affect the air outlet performance.

[0041] In this embodiment, the clothes drying rack body 17 is housed in the receiving cavity of the mounting body 1. When the lighting mechanism 3 is in the first position, the lighting mechanism 3 can completely hide the clothes drying rack body 17 in the receiving cavity, achieving the housing effect of the clothes drying rack body 17. This results in better overall integrity, saves space, improves aesthetics, and prevents mosquitoes and dust from affecting the clothes drying rack body 17. When the lighting mechanism 3 is in the second position, the light panel moves to the outside of the clothes drying rack body 17, which can prevent clothes from blocking the light and ensure the best lighting effect.

[0042] Furthermore, the moving mechanism 2 is disposed on both sides of the clothes drying rack body 17. When the lighting mechanism 3 is in the first position, the lighting mechanism 3 closes the opening of the accommodating cavity.

[0043] In this embodiment, the moving mechanism 2 is set inside the accommodating cavity and located on both sides of the clothes drying rack body 17. The structural design is more reasonable. When the lighting mechanism 3 is in the first position, the lighting mechanism 3 closes the opening of the accommodating cavity, so that the moving mechanism 2 and the clothes drying rack body 17 are completely hidden inside the accommodating cavity. Only the lighting mechanism 3 can be seen in appearance, so that the mounting body 1 and the lighting mechanism 3 form a plane, and the overall structure is more beautiful.

[0044] This utility model discloses a movable lighting device and a clothes drying rack. The functions of each module in each device in the embodiment can be found in the corresponding description in the above method. By controlling the working position of the lighting mechanism, it has the advantage of better lighting effect.
