Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bathroom towel racks, in particular to a connection structure of a towel support rod and an electric towel rack using the same. Background Art

[0002] Currently, towels and bath towels used for washing are typically hung on a towel rack on the wall of a bathroom or toilet. Existing towel racks generally include conventional towel racks and heated towel racks. Conventional towel racks typically include a frame connected to the wall and multiple towel support rods mounted on the frame. For example, a bathroom towel rack with improved structure, published as CN209808166U, includes a fixed back panel, a fixed crossbar, and a hanging assembly consisting of multiple hanging crossbars. An electric towel rack has an electric heating component installed in the rack body or towel support rod, which is used to dry the towels on the towel support rod to prevent the towels from being left wet for a long time and breeding bacteria, which is harmful to human health. For example, a publication number CN210354496U is named a multifunctional warm air drying towel rack, which includes: a main body, both ends of which are fixedly installed with downwardly extending support frames, and a first towel rack group and a second towel rack group are installed between the support frames, and the first towel rack group and the second towel rack group respectively include multiple horizontally arranged hollow heat-conducting rack rods; a fan and a PTC heating block are installed in the main body, and the hollow heat-conducting rack rods are equipped with heating wires. The height of the towel rods for hanging towels in the conventional towel racks and electric towel racks of the prior art cannot be adjusted. After the towel racks are installed, the height of the towel rods is fixed, which brings a lot of inconvenience to people. For example, when people hang towels, the upper towels and the lower towels often overlap, which makes it difficult for the towels to dry or dry, and the overlapping areas are prone to breeding bacteria. In addition, when people hang towels of different sizes, if the height of each towel rod is fixed, space will be wasted. For example, larger towels will overlap, while smaller towels will waste space. Moreover, the towel rods of the prior art are not easy to disassemble, so they are inconvenient to replace and repair. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a towel support rod connection structure that allows the height of the towel support rod to be freely adjusted and is simple and convenient to assemble and disassemble.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a towel support rod connection structure having the following structure: the towel support rod connection structure includes a support panel and at least one towel support rod; it also includes

[0005] At least one slider is slidably engaged with the support panel and is used to adjust the height of the slider on the support panel, and the towel support rod is connected to the slider and is used to move synchronously with the slider;

[0006] The positioning mechanism is installed on the support panel and extends along the sliding direction of the slider. The positioning mechanism is connected to the slider and is used to enable the slider to slide upward along its sliding direction to adjust the height of the towel support rod and to lock the slider when it moves downward.

[0007] Preferably, the slider is detachably connected to the support panel, and can be separated from the support panel when the slider slides upward to the highest position of the stroke, and can be slidably fitted on the support panel when the slider is at the lowest position of the stroke.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a one-way guide rail arranged along the sliding direction of the slider, and a plurality of positioning teeth distributed along its length direction are provided on a side wall of the one-way guide rail close to the slider; a clamping block that can be engaged with or disengaged from the positioning teeth is connected to the slider, and when the slider slides upward along its sliding direction, the clamping block can be disengaged from the positioning teeth under the action of the positioning teeth, and the height of the towel support rod can be adjusted; when the slider slides downward along its sliding direction, the clamping block is engaged with the positioning teeth, and the height of the towel support rod is fixed.

[0009] Preferably, the blocking block is a tooth rotatably connected to the slider, and an elastic member is connected to the rotating shaft of the tooth, and the elastic member is used to keep the tooth in its initial state. The slider is provided with a stop portion for limiting the rotation of the tooth, and the tooth abuts against the stop portion in the initial state; the top of each positioning tooth is provided with a first engaging surface for the tooth to engage, and the bottom of the positioning tooth is provided with a guide surface, which can squeeze the tooth when the slider slides upward, so that the tooth overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member and rotates and disengages from the positioning tooth.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping block is a retractable clamping head connected to the slider, and an elastic member is connected to the slider, which is connected to the clamping head and is used to keep the clamping head in an expanded state; the top of each positioning tooth is provided with a first clamping surface for the clamping head to be clamped, and the bottom of the positioning tooth is provided with a guide surface, which squeezes the clamping head when the slider slides upward, so that the clamping head overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member and shrinks into the slider until it is disengaged from the positioning tooth.

[0011] Preferably, the guide surface is a bevel or a downwardly convex arc surface, and the upper edge of the guide surface coincides with the outer edge of the clamping surface; the clamping tooth has a second clamping surface that matches the first clamping surface, and a side wall of the clamping tooth close to the positioning tooth is set as an arc surface that matches the guide surface, and the lower edge of the arc surface coincides with the outer edge of the second clamping surface.

[0012] Preferably, the back side of the support panel is connected to a guide rod extending along the sliding direction of the slider, and the slider is slidably fitted on the guide rod.

[0013] Preferably, the slider is detachably connected to the guide rod. When the slider slides upward along the guide rod to the top of the guide rod, the slider is disengaged from the guide rod and the positioning mechanism, and the slider together with the towel support rod can be removed; when the slider slides upward from the lower end of the guide rod and engages on the guide rod, the slider is connected to the positioning mechanism, and the slider together with the towel support rod is connected to the support panel.

[0014] Preferably, the cross-section of the guide rod is T-shaped, wide outside and narrow inside, and the slider is provided with a guide groove matching the cross-sectional shape of the guide rod, and the two ends of the guide groove respectively pass through the top and bottom of the slider, and the guide rod is loosely fitted in the guide groove of the slider.

[0015] Preferably, the towel support rod is detachably connected to the slider.

[0016] Preferably, the towel support rod is rotatably connected to the slider.

[0017] Preferably, the slider has a U-shaped groove, the U-shaped groove is clamped to one side of the support panel, and the inner wall of the U-shaped groove is gap-fitted with the outer wall of the support panel.

[0018] After adopting the above structure, the connection structure of the towel support rod of the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0019] 1. The towel rod's connection structure utilizes a slidable slider disposed on a support panel, which connects the towel rod to the slider. The slider's movement allows the height of the towel rod to be adjusted, allowing the height of towels hung on the towel rod to be freely adjustable. This prevents overlapping towels, making them difficult to dry, and also compensates for the space wasted when hanging towels of different sizes. The positioning mechanism allows the slider to slide upward along its sliding direction to adjust the height of the towel rod and to be locked when it moves downward. In other words, the positioning mechanism allows the slider to slide only in one direction, upward, during height adjustment. It is locked when it slides downward, preventing the towel rod from freely falling due to heavy loads. Therefore, the towel rod's connection structure allows the height of the towel rod to be freely adjustable, while maintaining a simple structure and convenient height adjustment.

[0020] 2. The slider is detachably connected to the support panel. When the slider slides upward to the highest position, it separates from the support panel. When the slider reaches the lowest position, it slides onto the support panel. This arrangement allows the slider and towel rod to be separated from the support panel, facilitating replacement and maintenance of the towel rod. It also allows for the adjustment of the towel rod's height on the support panel. Specifically, the towel rod can be removed from the highest position and then reattached to the support panel from the lowest position to adjust the height again. This arrangement also facilitates post-purchase assembly and saves space during factory packaging, and prevents damage to the towel rod during shipping.

[0021] 3. The positioning mechanism of the connection structure of the towel support rod adopts a unidirectional guide rail installed on the support panel, and the unidirectional guide rail is provided with a plurality of positioning teeth distributed along its length direction. The height adjustment of the slider is achieved by engaging or disengaging the positioning teeth with a clamping block on the slider. One embodiment of the clamping block is to use a clamping tooth. The clamping tooth rotates under the pressure of the positioning teeth to disengage the clamping tooth, so that the height of the slider can be adjusted. When the clamping tooth returns to its initial state under the elastic force of the elastic member, it reengages the positioning tooth. In addition, the bottom of each positioning tooth is provided with an inclined surface or a downwardly convex arc-shaped guide surface. Under the pressure of the guide surface, the clamping tooth is facilitated to rotate smoothly, thereby making the height adjustment of the slider more labor-saving. The upper end edge of the guide surface of the positioning tooth coincides with the outer end edge of the first engaging surface, and the lower edge of the arc-shaped surface of the clamping tooth coincides with the outer edge of the second engaging surface. In this arrangement, when the slider is adjusted in height, the clamping tooth and the positioning tooth are in arc-shaped contact, the friction generated by the extrusion between the two is reduced, the noise is reduced, and the height adjustment of the slider is smoother and without jamming. Of course, the clamping block on the slider can also be a retractable clamping head connected to the slider, which can overcome the elastic force of the elastic part due to being squeezed and move in the direction away from the positioning tooth to achieve disengagement from the positioning tooth, and can be re-engaged with the positioning tooth under the elastic force of the elastic part; the setting of the clamping block can be set according to user needs.

[0022] 4. The cross section of the guide rod is T-shaped, wide outside and narrow inside, and the slider is provided with a guide groove that matches the cross section shape of the guide rod. The setting of the guide rod makes the sliding of the slider smoother, and the slider will not deviate when sliding, and has good stability.

[0023] 5. The towel rod and slider can be detachably connected, allowing you to choose the material of the towel rod or replace it as needed. Furthermore, the U-shaped groove of the slider and the support panel make the slider slide more smoothly, increasing the load-bearing capacity and stability of the towel rod. The towel rod and slider can also be rotatably connected. This allows the user to rotate the towel rod's hook. When the hook is rotated away from the support panel, it is easier to hang towels on the hook. Multiple towel rods can be rotated to different angles to fully utilize the space in front of the support panel, preventing towels from overlapping or interfering with each other. Rotating the towel rod inward brings the towel closer to the support panel.

[0024] Another technical solution of the present invention is to provide an electric towel rack having the following structure: it includes a cabinet body connected to the wall, the cabinet body has a storage compartment, the opening of the cabinet body is connected to a support panel, the support panel is used to close or open the opening of the cabinet body, at least one towel support rod is connected to the support panel, and the connection structure between the towel support rod and the support panel adopts the connection structure of the towel support rod described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0025] As an improvement, the cabinet body is provided with a slide rail, and the support panel is connected to the slide rail so that the support panel can move horizontally or vertically to put the cabinet body in an open state or a closed state.

[0026] As an improvement, one side of the support panel is rotatably connected to the cabinet body, so that the support panel can be rotated to place the cabinet body in an open state or a closed state.

[0027] Preferably, the support panel includes a front panel, a back panel and a heating element arranged between the front panel and the back panel, a heat insulation plate is provided between the heating element and the back panel, a control circuit board is provided inside the support panel, the control circuit board is electrically connected to the heating element, and the outer edge of the support panel is wrapped with an outer frame; waterproof rings are provided between the back panel and the heat insulation plate, and between the heat insulation plate and the front panel.

[0028] Preferably, the front panel is made of one of glass, metal plate, marble, acrylic and wood board.

[0029] As an improvement, an ultraviolet disinfection module is further provided in the support panel, and the ultraviolet disinfection module is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0030] As an improvement, an LED light strip is connected to the support panel, and the LED light strip is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0031] With the above structure, the electric towel rack of the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art: First, the electric towel rack adopts the towel rod connection structure described in any of the above technical solutions, making the towel rod of the electric towel rack adjustable in height, thereby preventing towels from overlapping and becoming difficult to dry, and compensating for the lack of space when hanging towels of different sizes. The towel rod of the electric towel rack is removable and replaceable, making it easy to assemble. Second, the support panel can be configured as a cabinet door that slides or rotates to the left or right side of the cabinet, and the towel rod can be used as a handle to open the cabinet door. Therefore, the electric towel rack can fully utilize the structural characteristics to meet the needs of different users. Furthermore, the structural setting of the support panel can not only dry the towels hung on the towel support rod, but also has good waterproof performance. The front panel can be made of explosion-proof glass, or the front panel can be set to a mirror surface to replace the bathroom makeup mirror, etc. The front panel can also be set to marble, wood, metal, acrylic board, etc., which can be set according to user needs; the electric towel rack also has ultraviolet disinfection function and night light lighting function to meet the needs of different users.

[0043] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0044] Example 1:

[0045] See also Figures 1 and 2 As shown;

[0046] The present invention discloses a towel rod connection structure comprising a support panel 1 and at least one towel rod 3. The support panel is configured to be connected to a wall or a cabinet mounted on the wall, and the towel rod is configured to hold towels. The structure also includes at least one slider 2 slidably engaged with the support panel 1 for adjusting the height of the slider 2 on the support panel 1. The towel rod 3 is connected to the slider 2 and configured to move synchronously with the slider 2. A positioning mechanism 4 is mounted on the support panel 1 and extends along the sliding direction of the slider 2. The positioning mechanism 4 is connected to the slider 2 and configured to allow the slider 2 to slide upward along its sliding direction to adjust the height of the towel rod 3 and to lock the slider 2 when it moves downward. The slider 2 has a U-shaped groove 201 that is engaged with one side of the support panel 1, with the inner wall of the U-shaped groove 201 having a clearance fit with the outer wall of the support panel 1. The mating relationship between the slider's U-shaped groove and the support panel ensures smoother sliding of the slider, enhancing the load-bearing capacity and stability of the towel rod. The height of the towel rod is adjusted by sliding the slider, allowing for free adjustment of the height of the towel rod. This allows for adjustable height of towels hung on the towel rod, preventing overlapping towels and difficulty drying them, and compensating for the space wasted when hanging towels of varying sizes. The positioning mechanism allows the slider to slide only in one direction, upward, during height adjustment. When sliding downward, the slider is locked, preventing the towel rod from freely falling due to heavy loads. Therefore, the connection structure of the towel rod allows for free adjustment of the height of the towel rod, while maintaining a simple structure and convenient height adjustment. The towel rod 3 is detachably connected to the slider 2. This allows for selection of the material of the towel rod or replacement of the towel rod as needed. The detachable connection can be a snap-fit, threaded, or other connection. The towel rod 3 is rotatably connected to the slider 2. This allows for adjustable distance between the towel rod and the support panel. When rotated outward to open, towels can be hung more easily. When rotated inward, towels can be brought closer to the support panel, which facilitates drying when a heating element is incorporated into the support panel.

[0047] See also Figures 2 to 7 As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, the slider 2 is detachably connected to the support panel 1. When the slider 2 slides upward to the highest position of its travel, it can be separated from the support panel 1. When the slider 2 is at the lowest position of its travel, the slider 2 can be slidably engaged with the support panel 1. This arrangement allows the slider and the towel support rod to be separated from the support panel, facilitating replacement and maintenance of the towel support rod. In addition, the height of the towel support rod on the support panel can be adjusted at will. That is, when the towel support rod is at the highest position, it can be removed and then reattached to the support panel from the lowest position to adjust the height again. This arrangement also facilitates assembly after purchase by the user and saves packaging space when the product is shipped out of the factory. It also prevents the towel support rod from being damaged during transportation.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the back side of the support panel 1 is connected to a guide rod 6 extending in the direction of movement of the slider 2. The slider 2 slidably engages the guide rod 6. The guide rod serves as a guide for the movement of the slider. The slider 2 is detachably connected to the support panel 1, specifically to the guide rod 6. When the slider 2 slides upward along the guide rod 6 to the top of the guide rod 6, the slider 2 disengages from the guide rod 6 and the positioning mechanism 4, allowing the slider 2 and the towel support rod 3 to be removed. When the slider 2 slides upward from the bottom of the guide rod 6 to engage the guide rod 6, the slider 2 connects to the positioning mechanism 4, and the slider 2 and the towel support rod 3 are connected to the support panel 1. The length of the guide rod is equal to the travel of the slider. In a preferred embodiment, the guide rod 6 has a T-shaped cross-section that is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. The slider 2 is provided with a guide groove 202 that matches the cross-sectional shape of the guide rod 6. The ends of the guide groove 202 extend through the top and bottom of the slider 2, respectively, and the guide rod 6 has a clearance fit within the guide groove 202 of the slider 2. The cross section of the guide rod is T-shaped, wide outside and narrow inside, and the slider is provided with a guide groove that matches the cross section shape of the guide rod. The setting of the guide rod makes the slider slide more smoothly, and the slider will not deviate when sliding, and has good stability.

[0049] See again Figures 2 to 5As shown; as an embodiment of the present invention, the positioning mechanism 4 includes a one-way guide rail 400 arranged along the sliding direction of the slider, and a plurality of positioning teeth 401 distributed along its length direction are provided on a side wall of the one-way guide rail 400 close to the slider 2; the slider 2 is connected to a block 5 that can be engaged with or disengaged from the positioning teeth 401. When the slider 2 slides upward along its sliding direction, the block 5 can be disengaged from the engagement with the positioning teeth 401 under the action of the positioning teeth 401, and the height of the towel support rod 3 can be adjusted; when the slider 2 slides downward along its sliding direction, the block 5 is engaged with the positioning teeth 401, and the height of the towel support rod 3 is fixed. The card block 5 is a card tooth 500 rotatably connected to the slider 2, and an elastic member 503 is connected to the rotating shaft of the card tooth 500. The elastic member 503 is used to keep the card tooth 500 in its initial state. The slider 2 is provided with a stop portion 200 that limits the rotation of the card tooth 500. The card tooth 500 abuts against the stop portion 200 in the initial state; the top of each positioning tooth 401 is provided with a first engaging surface 402 for the card tooth 500 to engage, and the bottom of the positioning tooth 401 is provided with a guide surface 403. The guide surface 403 can squeeze the card tooth 500 when the slider 2 slides upward, so that the card tooth 500 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 503 and rotates and disengages from the positioning tooth 401. The bottom of each positioning tooth is configured as a beveled or downwardly convex curved guide surface. The compressive action of this guide surface facilitates smooth rotation of the latching tooth, thereby making height adjustment of the slider more labor-saving. The guide surface 403 is a beveled or downwardly convex curved surface, and the upper edge of the guide surface 403 coincides with the outer edge of the first engaging surface 402. The latching tooth 500 has a second engaging surface 501 that engages with the first engaging surface 402. A side wall of the latching tooth 500 adjacent to the positioning tooth 401 is configured as a curved surface 502 that matches the guide surface 403, and the lower edge of the curved surface 502 coincides with the outer edge of the second engaging surface 501. This ensures that when the slider is adjusted in height, the latching tooth and the positioning tooth are in curved contact, resulting in less friction and noise due to compression between the two, and smoother, non-stop adjustment of the slider's height.

[0050] See also Figure 6 As shown, as an embodiment of the present invention, the clamping block 5 is a retractable clamping head 504 connected to the slider 2, and an elastic member 503 is connected to the slider 2, and the elastic member 503 is connected to the clamping head 504, so as to keep the clamping head 504 in an expanded state; the top of each positioning tooth 401 is provided with a first clamping surface 402 for clamping the clamping head 504, and the bottom of the positioning tooth 401 is provided with a guide surface 403, which squeezes the clamping head 504 when the slider 2 slides upward, so that the clamping head 504 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 503 and shrinks into the slider 2 until it is disengaged from the positioning tooth 401.
