Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to an electric towel rack. Background Technology

[0002] Towels are an essential item in daily life, and people usually place them in the bathroom or next to the washbasin. The bathroom environment is enclosed and humid, and towels left hanging inside for extended periods can easily breed harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, and mites. This not only produces unpleasant odors but can also harm human health. Therefore, regular towel drying and sterilization has become a necessity, leading to the development of electric towel racks. As a common bathroom fixture in homes and public places, electric towel racks are primarily used to heat and dry towels to keep them dry and clean.

[0003] A typical electric towel rack consists of a mounting frame, a heating mechanism, and a hanging tube. The mounting frame is connected to the wall by screws and other fasteners, providing stable support for the entire towel rack. The heating mechanism usually uses heating wires, which convert electrical energy into heat energy after being powered on. The heat is then evenly distributed throughout the structure through heat conduction. The hanging tube, as the carrier of heat conduction and the component for hanging towels, receives the heat transferred by the heating mechanism and dissipates it onto the surface to achieve a drying effect.

[0004] In the existing technology, the mounting bracket and hanging pipe of some devices are generally welded or riveted together. The welding or riveting method is not only complex in structure and cumbersome in assembly process, but also easily affects the stability of product quality due to the difference in welding or riveting process. Therefore, an electric heating towel rack is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an electric heated towel rack, which aims to improve the problems caused by welding or riveting some devices into one piece in the prior art.

[0007] An electric towel rack includes two horizontal tubes. Multiple connecting mechanisms are provided at the top of the two horizontal tubes. A control mechanism is provided inside each horizontal tube. Each connecting mechanism includes two connectors. The bottoms of the two connectors are threaded to the top of the horizontal tubes. A snap-fit ​​block is fixedly connected to the far side of the top of each connector, and a wire-clamping block is fixedly connected to the near side of the top of each connector. A wire-passing hole is vertically opened in the middle of each connector. A hanger tube back cover is threadedly connected to the top of the connector. Connecting buckles are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the hanger tube back cover. A tube seal is snapped onto the outer ends of the hanger tube back cover. A snap-fit ​​block is fixedly connected to the near side of each of the two tube seals. A hanger tube front cover is snapped onto the outside of each of the two connecting buckles. Two mounting components are fixedly connected to the bottom of each horizontal tube, and sealing components are fixedly connected to the outer ends of each horizontal tube.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The bottom of the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the back cover of the clothes hanger tube, and the outer side of the heating wire is sleeved on the outside of the wire clamping block.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The mounting assembly includes a connecting pin, which is externally fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal tube. A support block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting pin, and a mounting frame is externally threaded onto the support block.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The top of the support block is supported on the bottom of the horizontal tube, and the top of the mounting frame is supported on the bottom of the horizontal tube.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The sealing assembly includes a plug, the plug being externally fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal tube, and the plug being externally fixedly connected to a wrapping layer;

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The external connector is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal tube. The output end of the connector is connected to the receiving end of the control panel.

The plug 41 is externally fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal tube 1, and a wrapping layer 42 is externally fixedly connected to the plug 41. The wrapping layer 42 further enhances the sealing performance of the end of the horizontal tube 1.

[0038] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The control mechanism 5 includes a sealing box 51, which protects the control panel 53. The outside of the sealing box 51 is fixedly connected to the inside of the left side of the horizontal tube 1. A power connector 52 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sealing box 51 on the left side. The power connector 52 is used to connect an external power source to the control panel 53. The inside of the sealing box 51 is fixedly connected to the control panel 53, which controls the operation of the heating wire 54. The output end of the control panel 53 is fixedly connected to the heating wire 54. The heating wire 54 is used to heat up when powered on to dry the towel. A limiting plate 55 is snapped onto the bottom side of the heating wire 54. The limiting plate 55 is used to limit the position of the heating wire 54. The outside of the heating wire 54 is slidably connected to the inside of the wire hole 22. The outside of the heating wire 54 is set inside the front cover 29 of the hanger tube. The bottom of the limiting plate 55 is fixed to the top inside of the rear cover 25 of the hanger tube. The outside of the heating wire 54 is sleeved on the outside of the wire clamping block 23.

The back cover 25 of the hanger tube, which is threaded at the top, is connected to the front cover 29 of the hanger tube through the connecting buckles 26 on both sides of the top to form an outer shell. The tube seals 27 at both ends of the outside seal the hanger tube. In the component 3 at the bottom of the horizontal tube 1, the connecting pin 31 connects the horizontal tube 1 to the support block 32. The outside of the support block 32 is threaded to the mounting frame 33 to fix the towel rack. In the sealing component 4 at both ends of the horizontal tube 1, the plug 41 plugs the end, and the outer wrapping layer 42 enhances the seal.

[0041] Inside the sealed box 51 of the internal control mechanism 5 of the horizontal tube 1, the left side of the control panel 53 is connected to the power head 52. The bottom side of the heating wire 54 connected to the output end is clipped onto the limiting plate 55 on the inner side of the top of the hanger tube rear cover 25. The power head 52 is connected to an external power source to the control panel 53. The control panel 53 controls the operation of the heating wire 54. After the heating wire 54 is inserted from one side, it first passes through the wire hole 22 of the left connector 21. The connector 21 is fixed to the horizontal tube 1 with screws. The hanger tube rear cover 25 is fixed to the connector 21. Then, the heating wire 54 is pulled so that one end is clipped onto the top of the limiting plate 55 inside the hanger tube rear cover 25, and the other end hooks onto the wire clamping block 23 of the other side connector 21. Then, it passes back into the horizontal tube 1 through the wire hole 22 of the left connector 21 and connects to the other output end of the control panel 53. After being powered on, the heating wire 54 heats up, and the heat is transferred to the towel through the hanger tube front cover 29.
