Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of towel twisting devices. Background Art

[0002] People need to wring out wet towels when washing. For ordinary people, wringing out towels is a very simple activity. First, fold the wet towels in half, then hold the two ends of the towels with both hands and wring them slightly to squeeze out some of the water in the towels and wring out the towels. However, for disabled people with only one hand or injured people who cannot move one hand, wringing out the towels is basically a difficult task because only one hand can move.

[0003] There are some mechanical towel twisting devices, such as the Chinese invention patent publication number CN 103422331 A discloses a towel wringer, which includes a drain stick, a pressing stick, a water tank, a bracket, and a water diversion trough. The drain stick, the pressing stick and the bracket are rotatably connected, the axes of the drain stick and the pressing stick are parallel to each other, a gap is left between the outer wall of the pressing stick and the outer wall of the drain stick, the drain stick is a hollow structure with one end sealed and the other end open, the drain stick is densely covered with drainage holes, and the drainage holes penetrate the inner wall and the outer wall of the drain stick, the lower end of the drain stick is provided with a water diversion trough of the same length as the drain stick, a water tank is provided below the open end of the drain stick, and the opening directions of the water diversion trough and the water tank are toward the pressing stick; the inner wall of the drain stick is a gradually expanding structure from the sealed end to the open end; the drain stick and the pressing stick are each connected to the bracket through two symmetrically arranged shaft supports, sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bracket, and the two symmetrically arranged shaft supports can slide in the sliding grooves, and a contraction spring is connected before the two shaft supports located in the same sliding groove.

[0004] When this towel wringer is in use, it is installed on the wall with the pressing rod facing upwards and the drainage groove facing downwards. A disabled person with only one hand or a wounded person who cannot move one hand can use one hand to stuff the towel into the gap formed by the drainage rod and the pressing rod, and then pull the towel from the bottom with the same hand. The water in the towel is discharged into the drainage rod due to the clamping force, and finally transferred to the water diversion groove through the drainage rod, and finally collected into the water storage tank. At the same time, the slidable shaft support cooperates with the spring to achieve flexible compression of the towel, which is convenient for loading and removing the towel and prevents thicker towels from being damaged due to the small gap between the drainage rod and the pressing rod.

[0005] However, this type of towel wringer is prone to damage the towel due to the need to pull it hard. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention aims at the disadvantage that the current towel wringers need to be pulled hard and easily damage the towel, and provides a towel wringing device. The towel wringing device is the same as wringing the towel with both hands.

[0021] This embodiment is a towel twisting device used by disabled people who can only move one hand. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the towel twisting device includes a bracket 1 supporting a water receiving container 9; in practice, the bracket 1 itself can be a washbasin, and the water receiving container 9 placed on it is a washbasin or a washbasin on the washbasin. In this embodiment, a support part 2 is hinged on the bracket 1. In fact, this support part 2 can be a support plate, that is, a fixed plate on the back of the washbasin where a mirror can be installed. This fixed plate is hinged on the washbasin or other brackets 1 and can be erected like Figure 1 As shown, it can also be laid down to cover the washstand as Figure 4 As shown, it has two fixed states, namely, the state in which the support part 2 rotates around the hinge fulcrum 3 to form an upright state and the state in which the support part 2 is horizontally covered on the bracket 1. A crossbar 4 for hanging towels is fixed on the support part 2 at the far end of the hinge fulcrum 3, and a quick clamp 5 for clamping the towel and a tightening mechanism 6 for driving the quick clamp 5 to rotate are arranged at the near end of the hinge fulcrum 3. Here, the crossbar 4 can be used to hang towels on a washstand or a washstand. When washing your face, add water to the washbasin or the sink, soak the towel in the water, and after fully soaking, pick up the towel from the water and hang it on the crossbar 4. Due to the water in the towel, under the action of its own gravity, it hangs down into the quick clamp 5 and is clamped by the quick clamp 5. At this time, the support part 2 is laid down to cover the sink or the washbasin, and then the quick clamp 5 is driven by the tightening mechanism 6 to rotate and wring out the towel.

[0022] In practice, there are many quick clips, and those skilled in the art can choose to use them. The quick clip 5 used in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the quick clamp 5 is movably connected with the protrusion 8 of the fixed clamp 5 on the support part 2 by a rotating shaft 5-1, and includes a fixed part 5-2 and a movable clamping part 5-3. The fixed part 5-2 is provided with a fixed friction area 5-4. The movable clamping part 5-3 includes a four-bar mechanism 5-5 in which a connecting rod is fixed to the fixed part 5-2. The connecting rod opposite to the connecting rod fixed on the fixed part 5-2 extends outward to form a quick clamping handle 5-6. A quick clamping arm 5-7 is fixed on the connecting rod adjacent to the connecting rod fixed on the fixed part 5-2 and at the far end of the quick clamping handle 5-6. The quick clamping arm 5-7 is provided with a movable friction area 5-8 opposite to the fixed friction area 5-4.

[0023] The tightening mechanism 6 is a power device that drives the quick clamp 5 to rotate. In this embodiment, in order to be suitable for disabled people with only one hand, only one hand is needed. Figure 3 As shown, the twisting mechanism includes a first power shaft 6-1 and a second power shaft 6-3 perpendicular to each other, a direction adjustment mechanism 6-2 composed of an inclined thread arranged at the connection between the first power shaft 6-1 and the second power shaft 6-3, the first power shaft 6-1 is a torque source, and the second power shaft 6-3 is axially connected to the rotating shaft 5-1 of the quick clamp 5. The torque source includes a crank 6-6 connected to the first power shaft 6-1, and a disabled person can rotate the crank 6-6 with one hand to drive the first power shaft 6-1, the second power shaft 6-3 and the rotating shaft 5-1 of the quick clamp 5 to rotate and wring out the towel. In order to save effort, a speed reducer 6-4 is also arranged on the first power shaft 6-1. In order to protect the towel and make the towel wrung out under an acceptable twisting force, a torque protector 6-5 is also arranged in the second power shaft 6-3. A person skilled in the art can protect the towel with the help of the torque protector 6-5 in the torque wrench. When the towel is twisted to a certain degree and continues to be twisted, the first power shaft 6-1 is still rotating after being protected by the torque protector 6-5, but the second power device 6-3 will not transmit the torque to the rotating shaft 5-1.

[0024] In this embodiment, an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 10 is also provided inside the support plate, and a control switch of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 10 is provided on the front of the support plate. In fact, a UVC_LED chip is installed on the mirror of the sink, and when the support plate is covered on the sink, the UVC_LED chip is powered to generate ultraviolet rays to disinfect the sink and towels.
