  • Specifically, a lining sleeve 29 is fixed by a long rivet on a lower end of the inner pipe 4, and the inner pipe 4 is sleeved to the interior of the outer pipe 5 via the lining sleeve 29. With the lining sleeve 29, the stability when the inner pipe 4 is slid up and down in the outer pipe 5 is guaranteed, and the inner pipe 4 is prevented from shaking in a sliding process. A length of the sliding groove is smaller than a length of the inner pipe 4. The length of the sliding groove is equivalent to a sliding stroke of the inner pipe 4, so it is assured that the inner pipe 4 is not slid out of an upper end of the outer pipe 5, the condition that the inner pipe 4 is separated from the outer pipe 5 in the sliding process is prevented, and a certain limiting effect is taken for the slide of the inner pipe 4. An antiskid mat 8 is fixed on a lower end of the outer pipe 5 via a rivet. The antiskid mat 8 is preferably a foam board, and more preferably a backing chloroprene rubber adhesive foam board.

  • The airing device 1 includes an arm pipe 19; a first hinged portion 33 is disposed on a lower side of the upper connection body 11; one end of the arm pipe 19 is hinged to the first hinged portion 33, and the other end of the arm pipe 19 is spliced with an end cap 10; a middle portion of the arm pipe 19 is hinged to one end of the first hinged piece 21; and the other end of the first hinged piece 21 is hinged to a lower portion of the handle assembly 1 via a connection piece 7. As a result, the arm pipe 19 is folded and unfolded conveniently. Specifically, the connection piece 7 is fixedly connected to a lower end of the handle 25 via a self-tapping screw; and a gasket 13 is disposed at a hinged place between the first hinged piece 21 and the arm pipe 19 to reduce the friction between the first hinged piece 21 and the arm pipe 19. A hole capable of hanging a clothes rack is formed on the end cap 10. Furthermore, with the end cap 10, it is also assured that an operator is not scratched in use and a certain protection effect is taken for an end portion of the arm pipe 19. The arm pipe 19, the first hinged piece 21 and the first hinged portion 33 are matched in number. Specifically, four arm pipes 19, four first hinged pieces 21 and four first hinged portions 33 are preferably provided and are uniformly distributed.
  • The airing device 2 further includes a plurality of parallel clothes airing ropes 15. Eight rope fasteners 14 are preferably and uniformly distributed on the arm pipe 19. Each clothes airing rope 15 sequentially passes through the rope fasteners 14 on same positions of a plurality of arm pipes 19 and is connected end to end.

Specifically, the gasket 13 is disposed at a hinged place between the second hinged piece 34 and the foot pipe 20 to reduce the friction between the second hinged piece 34 and the foot pipe 20; and the connection piece 7 is fixedly connected to the outer pipe 5 via the self-tapping screw, so that the foot pipe 20 is folded and unfolded conveniently. A foot sleeve 9 is spliced to the other end of the foot pipe 20, so that the outer pipe 5 and the foot pipe 20 are not abraded when lower ends of the outer pipe 5 and the foot pipe 20 contact with the ground or other support surfaces. The foot sleeve 9 takes the effect of protecting the outer pipe 5 and the foot pipe 20 and simultaneously does not scratch the ground or the other support surfaces. The foot pipe 20, the second hinged piece 34 and the second hinged portion 33 are matched in number. Specifically, four foot pipes 20, four second hinged pieces 34 and four second hinged portions 33 are preferably provided and are uniformly distributed.
  • A working principle of the hand-held clothes airing device in this embodiment is as follows:
    In an initial state, the hand-held clothes airing device is in a folded state. At this time, a lock catch 12 disposed on a lower portion of an inner pipe 4 is located on an upper side of an elastic strip 31 disposed on an upper side of an upper connection body 11, and can block the elastic strip 31, thus limiting the inner pipe 4 to slide downward and guaranteeing that an airing device 2 is not unfolded automatically.
  • When the hand-held clothes airing device needs to be unfolded to air clothes, an operator holds a lifting yoke 27 by a hand and exerts a certain upward pressure to the lifting yoke 27. As the lifting yoke 27 is connected to a handle cover 26 via a first spring 22, the lifting yoke 27 can be moved upward. In a process when the lifting yoke 27 is moved upward, a clamping portion 35 disposed on a lower inner side of the lifting yoke 27 is slid relative to a clamping head 36 disposed on an upper outer side of a hook 28, and extrudes an upper portion of the hook 28 to rotate inward. Under the action of an antiskid pin 16, a lower portion of the hook 28 rotates outward, so that a latch 37 disposed on a lower inner side of the hook 28 is separated from a tooth 30 disposed on an outer side of the upper connection body 11. By propping a lower end of an outer pipe 5 against the ground or other support surfaces and applying a downward pressure to the handle cover 26, the lock catch 12 disposed on the lower portion of the inner pipe 4 forces the elastic strip 31 disposed on the upper side of the upper connection body 11 to expand outward and pushes the elastic strip 31 to open, and thus the inner pipe 4 can be slid downward in the outer pipe 5. Under the action of a first hinged piece 21, an arm pipe 19 is unfolded outward, and simultaneously a lower connection body 6 is slid downward in a sliding groove formed on a sidewall of the outer pipe 5. Under the action of a second hinged piece 34, a foot pipe 20 is unfolded synchronously. By loosening the lifting yoke 27 and applying a certain pressure to the handle cover 26, the clamping portion 35 of the lifting yoke 27 clamps the clamping head 36 of the hook 28, and the latch 37 of the hook 28 is clamped with the tooth 30 of the upper connection body 11 to implement relative fixation between the inner pipe 4 and the outer pipe 5. At this time, when the lower connection body 6 is moved to a lowest end of the sliding groove formed on the sidewall of the outer pipe 5, the arm pipe 19 and the foot pipe 20 are unfolded completely, and thus the hand-held clothes airing device is placed on the ground or any other support surface to air the clothes.
  • After the clothes are aired completely, the outer pipe 5 is fixed; the inner pipe 4 is lifted upward by a handle assembly 1, and the lock catch 12 disposed on the lower side of the inner pipe 4 passes through the elastic strip 31 disposed on the upper side of the upper connection body 11 and blocks the elastic strip 31; and at this time, the lower connection body 6 is moved to an uppermost end of the sliding groove to complete a folding action of the hand-held clothes airing device.
  • The hand-held clothes airing device in this embodiment is original in style, can implement a synchronous action between an airing device 2 and a supporting device 3, implements quick unfolding and folding of the clothes airing device and explains brand-new unfolding and folding modes of the clothes airing device. The hand-held clothes airing device is provided with the supporting device 3, and can be placed at any expected position, so the movement is convenient and quick, and the application is wide. An inner pipe 4 has a lock catch 12, so that an arm pipe 19 of the hand-held clothes airing device can be prevented from opening automatically in a folded state, and thus the hand-held clothes airing device is carried conveniently and stored conveniently.
  • In the specification, specific examples are used for illustration of the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the embodiments is only used to help illustrate the method and the principles of the present invention. In addition, those skilled in the art can make various modifications in terms of specific embodiments and scope of application in accordance with the concept of the present invention. In conclusion, the content of this specification shall not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
