[0018] To further clarify the purpose, technical means, and advantages of this invention, embodiments of this invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0019] Where the following description relates to drawings, unless otherwise noted, the same numbers in different drawings indicate the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention, which are described in detail in the appended claims.

[0020] In the description of the present invention, terms such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for the purpose of description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. A person skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific situation. Also, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise explained, "plural" means two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship of related objects and indicates that three types of relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can indicate three situations where A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in this specification are only for the purpose of explaining specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0022] To solve the above problems, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the present invention provides a folding hanger, which includes a hanger body and a suspension assembly. The hanger body is for flattening and drying clothes by sandwiching them. A storage groove 11 for storing the suspension assembly is formed at the top. Both ends of the suspension assembly are rotatably connected to the edge of the storage groove 11. The suspension assembly has a deployed state in which the middle part is separated from the hanger body after rotation and a folded state in which the middle part is close to the hanger body after rotation.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the hanging assembly includes a connection plate 2, a hanging head 3 and two connection arms 4. The two connection arms 4 are symmetrically distributed. One end of the connection arm 4 is rotatably connected to the hanger body, and the other end is slidably connected to the connection plate 2. The hanging head 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the connection plate 2. In one example, the connection arm 4 has a U-shaped structure. The middle part is connected to the connection plate 2, and both ends are connected to the hanger body. As a result, the number of connection points between the connection arm 4 and the hanger body increases. When heavy clothes are hung, the situation where the hanging assembly is distorted and deformed is less likely to occur, and the load-bearing capacity and structural stability of the entire folding hanger can be effectively improved.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a slide groove 21 is formed on the bottom surface of the connection plate 2. A bending slider 5 is provided on the connection arm 4 corresponding to the slide groove 21. The bending slider 5 moves along the direction of the slide groove 21. The two connection arms 4 rotate towards the direction close to the hanger body and rotate towards the direction away from the hanger body. The two bending sliders 5 move away from each other. Furthermore, since one end of the bending slider 5 corresponding to the slide groove 21 has a T-shaped structure, separation between the bending slider 5 and the slide groove 21 can be avoided. A retraction groove 14 is formed on the hanger body corresponding to the connection arm 4. The end of the connection arm 4 is rotatably connected to the wall of the retraction groove 14 within the retraction groove 14.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, a connecting portion 6 is provided at the top of the connecting plate 2, and an insertion groove 61 is formed in the connecting portion 6, extending along its top toward the side wall, the bottom end of the suspension head 3 has a position limiting flange 31, the dimensions of which are greater than the width of the insertion groove 61, the bottom of the suspension head 3 is movably connected to the insertion groove 61 and can be unfolded or folded along the direction of the insertion groove 61, the bottom end of the suspension head 3 is inserted into the insertion groove 61, and the position limiting flange 31 restricts the separation of the suspension head 3 from the connecting portion 6, so that the suspension head 3 rotates within the insertion groove 61 and the opening direction of the suspension head 3 is adjusted, and when it is necessary to fold the suspension head 3, the suspension head 3 is moved and rotated along the direction of the insertion groove 61 until it is parallel to the connecting plate 2, thereby reducing the overall volume of the hanger.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the connecting plate 2 includes an upper housing 22 and a lower housing 23, the connecting portion 6 is provided in the middle of the lower housing 23 facing the upper housing 22, a through hole 221 is formed in the upper housing 22 corresponding to the connecting portion 6, the upper housing 22 and the lower housing 23 engage with each other, and the connecting portion 6 is drilled in the through hole 221. Furthermore, since the lower housing 23 and the connecting portion 6 are integrally molded, the connection strength is high, and the slide groove 21 is formed in the lower housing 23, the slide groove 21 is located on both sides of the connecting portion 6 and is connected to the bendable sliders 5 on both sides. In one example, the connecting plate 2 is provided parallel to the width direction of the hanger body.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, a windbreak member 7 is provided at the hanging end of the hanging head 3. The windbreak member 7 has a C-shaped structure, with its middle portion rotatably connected to the hanging head 3, and its end portion rotating toward the end of the hanging head 3 to close the hanging head 3. The hanging end refers to the curved portion of the hanging head 3, and an opening is formed at the hanging end to accommodate a clothesline pole such as a bamboo pole or iron wire for hanging the hanger. A through groove 32 corresponding to the windbreak member 7 is formed at the hanging end, and the windbreak member 7 is connected to the wall of the through groove 32. When the hanger is not suspended from the clothesline, the upper end of the windbreak member 7 protrudes from the through groove 32 and is located in the space enclosed by the hanging end, and the lower end is located in the through groove 32 of the lower half of the hanging end, in which case the opening of the hanging end is not closed. When the hanger is suspended from the clothesline, the upper end of the windbreak member 7 is pushed into the through groove 32 at the corresponding position by the clothesline, and the lower end rotates toward the end of the opening of the hanging end, closing the opening of the hanging end. When the entire hanger is lifted, the clothesline and the upper end of the windbreak member 7 separate, and the hanger can be removed from the clothesline by pushing the lower end of the windbreak member 7 to open the opening. The hanging head 3 has a high windbreak effect, is convenient and highly practical.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the hanger body includes a drying tray 1 and a drying clip 8, wherein the drying tray 1 has the storage groove 11 formed at its top and its bottom is connected to the end of the drying clip 8. The drying tray 1 has a plurality of drainage holes 12, which are for drying clothes flat. The drainage holes 12 are uniformly distributed along the surface of the drying tray 1, allowing for quick drainage of moisture remaining on the clothes and preventing water from accumulating and dampening the bottom of the clothes. The drying clip 8 has one end fixed to the bottom of the drying tray 1 and its clamping end extends away from the drying tray 1, allowing for the clamping of small items of clothing such as socks and underwear, thereby enabling the drying of clothes of different sizes in separate compartments and improving the space utilization rate of the hanger body. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, a hanging ring 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the clothes drying tray 1, and the clothes drying clips 8 are connected to the hanging ring 13 by a latching member 9. The ends of the latching member 9 connected to the hanging ring 13 and the clothes drying clips 8 have an elastic opening structure and an overall C-shaped structure. When attaching the hanging ring 13 or the clothes drying clips 8 to the latching member 9, the opening is pressed to enlarge it, and after the ends of the hanging ring 13 and clothes drying clips 8 enter the latching member 9, the opening automatically shrinks back to its original size.

[0029] As shown in Figure 5, when the folding hanger is not in use, the connecting plate 2 is close to the drying tray 1, the distance between the two bending sliders 5 is minimized, the angle between the connecting arm 4 and the drying tray 1 is minimized, and the hanging head 3 is parallel to the drying tray 1. At this time, the volume of the folding hanger is minimized. As shown in Figure 1, when in use, the hanging head 3 is rotated to be perpendicular to the connecting plate 2 and lifted, causing the drying tray 1 to sink due to gravity, rotating the connecting arm 4 and sliding the bending sliders 5. The two bending sliders 5 slide to both ends of the sliding groove 21. At this time, the distance between the bending sliders 5 is maximized, and the angle between the connecting arm 4 and the drying tray 1 is maximized. When the folding hanger is suspended from a clothesline, the windbreak member 7 restricts its position, making it difficult to detach from the clothesline. Furthermore, if the clothesline is high, the clothes are first clamped / flattened beforehand, then the folding hanger is raised and hung using the hanger pole. If the clothesline is low, the folding hanger is hung first, then the clothes are clamped / flattened. After use, the clothes are removed, the connecting plate 2 is pushed down, and the connecting arm 4 is rotated, causing the connecting plate 2 to move closer to the clothesline tray 1. The hanging head 3 is then folded, allowing for easy storage.

[0030] As described above, the folding hanger enables hanging use by providing a hanging assembly, and the connecting plate 2 and connecting arm 4 work together to rotate relative to the hanger body, enabling quick switching between folding and unfolding of the hanging assembly. By reducing the overall volume of the hanger after folding, it saves space for transport and storage, making it easy to store and carry. The connecting arm 4 and the drying tray 1 are connected at multiple points, effectively improving the load-bearing capacity and structural stability of the entire folding hanger.
