The present disclosure provides a smart clothes drying device and a smart clothes drying method. The smart clothes drying device includes a light intensity sensor, an integrated controller, an umbrella and at least one clothes hanger. The light intensity sensor is to sense light intensity and output a light intensity signal. The integrated controller is to receive the light intensity signal and control opening or closing of the umbrella according to a comparison result of comparing the light intensity signal with a closing light intensity threshold or an opening light intensity threshold in such a manner that the integrated controller controls opening the umbrella when the light intensity signal is greater than the opening light intensity threshold, and the integrated controller controls closing the umbrella when the light intensity signal is less than the closing light intensity threshold.

An apparatus for drying clothes is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a container. The container comprises walls and a base. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of first poles placed vertically with respect to the container. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of second poles placed at an angle with respect to the plurality of first poles. Wet clothes are hanged at the plurality of second poles such that water dripping from the clothes is collected in the container.

Systems and methods for supporting items from a conveyance (e.g., an automobile, truck, recreational vehicle, boat, and/or camper) for washing and/or drying suitable items. Such systems include bracket(s) that are rigidly attachable to a portion (e.g., a bumper) of the conveyance. Support rod(s) is/are removably attachable to each bracket and extend away from the portion of the conveyance to which the bracket is rigidly attached. Support line(s) is/are attached between the support rods, such that the items supported from the support line(s) are spaced apart from each other to allow for washing, such as using a stream of water, and/or drying, such as using a forced or naturally occurring flow of air around and/or through each of the items.

A drying rack designed to easily mount to a vehicle or other similar structure that is portable and collapsible. The drying rack includes a U-shaped bracket, a first support arm, a second support arm, a drying rod, a first locking hinge, and a second locking hinge. The first support arm and the second support make up the frame and are positioned parallel and offset to each other. The first support arm is terminally mounted to a first leg of the U-shaped bracket through the first locking hinge. Similarly, the second support arm is terminally mounted to a second leg of the U-shaped bracket through the second locking hinge. The drying rod is perpendicularly connected in between the first support arm and the second support arm. Additionally, the drying rod and the U-shaped bracket are positioned opposite to each other, across the first support arm and the second support arm.

The present disclosure provides a smart clotheshorse and a method for controlling a hanger in a smart clotheshorse. The smart clotheshorse includes first supporting poles parallel to each other, a hanger connected between the first supporting poles and configured to be slidable along the first supporting poles, the hanger having a driving device and a control device; and a sensing device. The sensing device is configured to sense environmental information of the hanger. The environmental information includes at least one of humidity information and light intensity information. The control device is configured to control the driving device based on the environmental information. The driving device is configured to drive the hanger to slide along the first supporting poles.

A clothes drying hanger may comprise a main body, a plurality of clothespins, and a plurality of spacers. The main body has a first bar and a second bar which are parallel and spaced apart by a preferred distance, and at least two supporting bars are secured therebetween. A shifting board, which is parallel with the second bar, is movably abutted between an inner surface of the second bar and two ends of the two supporting bars close to the second bar. A handle is connected to an outer surface of the second bar through two parallel connecting rods which further penetrate through the second bar to connect to the shifting board such that through pressing the handle, the connecting rods can drive the shifting board to have parallel shift toward the first bar, thereby simultaneously releasing all of the clothes hanged on the clothespins by a single action.

Provided is a clothes drier including a drying device, a base, a support rod, and a drying jacket. The base is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The drying device is disposed inside the base. The support rod has a first end disposed on the base and a second end extending in a direction away from the base. The support rod can be a telescopic rod. The drying jacket is suspended from the second end of the support rod and further arranged to enclose the base. The drying jacket is used for being sheathed in clothes. According to the clothes drier the drying device is disposed inside the base and the telescopic support rod is fixedly disposed on the base so as to facilitate the drying of the clothes hung on the support rod by the drying device.
