Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a smart rotary drying rack, and particularly to a smart rotary drying rack that can smartly and automatically rotate clothes to adjust the position of the clothes.

Background Art

[0002] So far, in daily housework, washing and drying are daily routine tasks. In the process of drying and taking in the laundry, in order to hang and take in the laundry, one has to go back and forth many times, so a lot of physical strength and time are consumed. Moreover, due to the problem of the drying place and angle of the laundry, usually only one side is directly exposed to the sun. When modern people go out for a long time, they cannot adjust the position of the laundry, and the other side of the laundry becomes difficult to dry, affecting the drying effect.

[0003] In a conventional drying rack, as disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. I491778, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the rotary drying rack (90) has a main frame (91), and a solar collector (92) for assisting power generation is provided at the top of the main frame (91). A plurality of telescopic hanging rods (93) are provided on the rotary drying rack (90). By rotating the outer rotor (95) with a motor (94), the hanging rod (93) can rotate. However, in order to hang clothes on the hanging rod (93), it is necessary to expand the hanging rod (93) and rotate it along the main frame (91). Therefore, when it is used, it is easy to understand that the space occupied by the hanging rod (93) becomes larger than expected. In addition, such a radial clothes hanging structure also has many inconveniences when hanging or taking in clothes.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the inventor of the present invention came up with the idea of the invention, designed it with years of experience, and after many discussions, sample trial production tests, and several modifications and improvements, the present invention was completed.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] In order to better understand and recognize the object, features, and effects of the present invention, the following will be described in detail with reference to the drawings in the brief description of the drawings.

[0015] First, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the present invention provides a smart rotary clothes drying rack, which includes a smart clothes drying rack (10). The smart clothes drying rack (10) has a pedestal body (11), and an upper frame body (12) is provided at the top of the pedestal body (11). A plurality of transmission wheels (13) are provided on the upper frame body (12). The plurality of transmission wheels (13) are joined to a rolling belt (14). A plurality of hanging units (141) for hanging any number of clothes (20) are provided on the surface of the rolling belt (14). A rotation motor (15) rotates the transmission wheel (13) to rotate the rolling belt (14), thereby moving the hanging unit (141). A plurality of smart sensors (16) capable of detecting whether the clothes (20) are hooked or taken in by the hanging unit (141) are provided on the upper frame body (12). Based on this, the rotation motor (15) is controlled to rotate the rolling belt (14) to move the next hanging unit (141) to the position of the current hanging unit in front. The rotation motor (15) rotates the rolling belt (14) at specific time intervals to adjust the position of the clothes (20).

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 6, according to the above structure, the smart sensor (16) detects a change in the number of the clothes (20), controls the rotary motor (15), and rotates the rolling belt (14) by the distance between the two suspension units (141). When the user hangs the clothes (20) on the suspension unit (141), the next suspension unit (141) moves in front of the place where the user is currently located. Therefore, the user can hang all the clothes (20) without moving. As shown in FIG. 7, the rotary motor (15) rotates the rolling belt (14) at specific time intervals to adjust the location of the clothes, so that all the clothes (20) can be exposed to sunlight as much as possible, improving the drying efficiency. As shown in FIG. 8, when the user takes the clothes (20) from the suspension unit (141), the next suspension unit (141) also moves in front of the place where the user is currently located. Therefore, the drying efficiency of the clothes (20) is improved, and the user can complete the drying work without moving.

[0017] Therefore, when the smart drying rack (10) is used, the time for drying and taking in the laundry can be saved. Even in an unmanned situation, the rotary motor (15) rotates the rolling belt (14) at specific time intervals, enabling all the clothes (20) to be exposed to sunlight as much as possible to improve the drying efficiency. It makes it easier for the clothes (20) to be naturally dried by sunlight. By rotating the rolling belt (14), the suspension unit (141) moves accordingly, improving the efficiency of drying clothes with smart drying. Moreover, using the rolling belt (14) as a rail, the movement trajectory of the suspension unit (141) can be changed more, avoiding excessive waste of space compared to a circular rotation trajectory according to the location where the smart drying rack (10) is placed.

[0018] The present invention provides a smart rotating clothes drying rack, in which the smart sensor (16) detects the hanging of the clothes (20) on or off the hanging unit (141) by ultrasonic waves.
