Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of towel rack equipment, in particular to a towel rack. Background Art

[0002] Most electric towel racks on the market now have a structure composed of one or two vertical tubes and multiple horizontal tubes. The vertical tubes and the horizontal tubes are fixed by welding or bolts, which means that the electric towel racks must be packaged as a whole, and the packaged size is too large; the spacing between the horizontal tubes of the electric towel racks on the market is relatively small, which makes it inconvenient to hang and take towels, and all the horizontal tubes are in the same plane. When a towel is hung on the horizontal tube, the lower end of the upper towel will cover the towel hanging below, resulting in a long drying time.

[0003] Therefore, there are problems in the prior art that the electric towel rack is inconvenient to pack and has a small hanging interval. Summary of the invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a towel rack to solve the problems of inconvenient packaging and small hanging interval of the electric heated towel rack in the prior art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a towel rack, comprising: a base; a driving part, the driving part is arranged inside the base, and at least a part of the driving part extends from the base; at least one hanging rod, one end of the hanging rod is drivingly connected to the part of the driving part extending from the base, and the driving part can drive the hanging rod to rotate relative to the base.

[0006] Furthermore, the base is strip-shaped, and there are multiple hanging rods, and the multiple hanging rods are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of hanging rods are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the base.

[0008] Furthermore, the base is strip-shaped, and the hanging rod has an extended state and a stored state. When the hanging rod is in the stored state, the extension direction of the hanging rod is consistent with the extension direction of the base; when the hanging rod is in the extended state, the extension direction of the hanging rod is staggered with the extension direction of the base.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotation range of the hanging rod is -90 degrees to 90 degrees. When the hanging rod is in the storage state, the hanging rod is 0 degrees relative to the base, and the hanging rod is parallel to the base; when the hanging rod is in the unfolded state, the hanging rod rotates -90 degrees or 90 degrees, and the hanging rod is perpendicular to the base.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving part includes: a synchronous motor, which is arranged inside the base; a coupling, which is arranged outside the base, one end of the coupling is connected to the synchronous motor, and the other end of the coupling is connected to the hanging rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the numbers of synchronous motors, couplings, and hanging rods are equal and correspond one to one.

[0012] Furthermore, different couplings have different lengths, and the lengths of different couplings increase or decrease sequentially along the arrangement direction of the multiple hanging rods.

[0013] Furthermore, the height difference between two adjacent couplings is greater than or equal to (8+L) mm, where L is the thickness of the hanging rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the plurality of hanging rods are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the base, and when all the hanging rods are in the storage state, the plurality of hanging rods are staggered by a preset distance in the thickness direction of the base, so that a movable gap is formed between two adjacent hanging rods.

[0015] Furthermore, the driving unit also includes a control panel, which is connected to the synchronous motor signal to control the rotation angle of the hanging rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the towel rack also includes a plurality of heating elements, and at least one heating element is arranged inside each hanging rod.

[0017] Applying the technical solution of the present invention, the towel rack in the present application includes a base, a driving unit and at least one hanging rod. The driving unit is arranged inside the base, and at least a part of the driving unit extends from the base; one end of the hanging rod is drivingly connected to the part of the driving unit extending from the base, and the driving unit can drive the hanging rod to rotate relative to the base.

[0018] When using the towel rack with the above structure, when the towel rack needs to be packaged for transportation, the driving unit can drive the hanging rod to rotate so that the extension direction of the hanging rod is consistent with that of the base, thereby reducing the space occupied by the towel rack, thereby reducing the packaging cost of towels and solving the problem of inconvenient packaging of the towel rack.

[0026] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0028] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0029] In order to solve the problems of inconvenient packaging and small hanging interval of electric heated towel racks in the prior art, the present application provides a towel rack.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the towel rack in the present application includes a base 10, a driving unit 20 and at least one hanging rod 30. The driving unit 20 is arranged inside the base 10, and at least a part of the driving unit 20 extends from the base 10; one end of the hanging rod 30 is drivingly connected to the part of the driving unit 20 extending from the base 10, and the driving unit 20 can drive the hanging rod 30 to rotate relative to the base 10.

[0031] When using the towel rack with the above structure, when the towel rack needs to be packaged for transportation, the driving unit 20 can be used to drive the hanging rod 30 to rotate, so that the extension direction of the hanging rod 30 is consistent with that of the base 10, thereby reducing the space occupied by the towel rack, thereby reducing the packaging cost of towels and solving the problem of inconvenient packaging of the towel rack.

[0032] Specifically, the base 10 is in a strip shape, and there are a plurality of hanging rods 30 , which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the base 10 .

[0033] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the base 10 is also in a rod shape.

[0034] Preferably, the plurality of hanging rods 30 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the base 10 .

[0035] Specifically, the hanging rod 30 has an extended state and a stored state. When the hanging rod 30 is in the stored state, the extension direction of the hanging rod 30 is consistent with the extension direction of the base 10; when the hanging rod 30 is in the extended state, the extension direction of the hanging rod 30 is staggered with the extension direction of the base 10. In the present application, after the installation of the towel rack is completed, and when there are multiple hanging rods 30, the driving unit 20 can drive different hanging rods 30 to rotate to meet the user's needs for hanging towels, thereby ensuring that the towel rack in the present application is more flexible when used.

[0036] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the rotation range of the hanging rod 30 is -90 degrees to 90 degrees. When the hanging rod 30 is in the storage state, the hanging rod 30 is 0 degrees relative to the base 10, and the hanging rod 30 is parallel to the base 10; when the hanging rod 30 is in the unfolded state, when the hanging rod 30 rotates -90 degrees or 90 degrees, the hanging rod 30 is perpendicular to the base 10.

[0037] Optionally, the driving unit 20 includes a synchronous motor 21 and a coupling 22. The synchronous motor 21 is arranged inside the base 10; the coupling 22 is arranged outside the base 10, one end of the coupling 22 is connected to the synchronous motor 21, and the other end of the coupling 22 is connected to the hanging rod 30. In addition, the number of synchronous motors 21, couplings 22, and hanging rods 30 is equal and one-to-one corresponding. Through such a setting, different couplings 22 can be adjusted by different synchronous motors 21, thereby achieving the adjustment of different hanging rods 30.

[0038] In the present application, different couplings 22 have different lengths, and the lengths of different couplings 22 increase or decrease in sequence along the arrangement direction of the plurality of hanging rods 30. By such an arrangement, it can be ensured that the distances from different hanging rods 30 to the base 10 are different from each other, so that different hanging rods 30 can be staggered with each other, so that when the driving unit 20 adjusts the hanging rods 30, different hanging rods 30 will not collide with each other. Moreover, by such an arrangement, the space for users to hang towels can be expanded. Moreover, by such an arrangement, it can also be ensured that towels on different hanging rods 30 will not overlap with each other.

[0039] Preferably, the height difference between two adjacent couplings 22 is greater than or equal to (8+L) mm, where L is the thickness of the hanging rod 30 .

[0040] Specifically, the plurality of hanging rods 30 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the base 10, and when all the hanging rods 30 are in the storage state, the plurality of hanging rods 30 are staggered by a preset distance in the thickness direction of the base 10, so that a movable gap is formed between two adjacent hanging rods 30. By such an arrangement, it can be effectively ensured that the driving unit 20 can more easily adjust different hanging rods 30, and when one hanging rod 30 is adjusted, it will not affect other hanging rods 30.

[0041] Preferably, the driving unit 20 further includes a control panel 23 , and the control panel 23 is connected to the synchronous motor 21 via a signal to control the rotation angle of the hanging rod 30 .

[0042] Optionally, the towel rack further comprises a plurality of heating elements, and at least one heating element is disposed inside each hanging rod 30. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the heating element is a carbon fiber heating wire.

[0043] It should be noted that the towel rack in the present application is not limited to a heating towel rack.

[0044] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0045] 1. The hanging rod is rotatable. When packing, the hanging rod rotates to the same direction as the base, reducing the packing size of the towel rack;

[0046] 2. Use a synchronous motor to control the rotation of the hanging rod to achieve intelligent and labor-saving operation, providing customers with a better user experience;

[0047] 3. Most electric towel racks on the market currently have a poor user experience because the upper hanging rod is located above the lower hanging rod, which hinders users from hanging towels. With a rotatable hanging rod design, when users hang towels on the lower layer, the upper hanging rod rotates to the same direction as the vertical pipe, so that users can hang towels more conveniently. After the towels are hung, the hanging rod rotates back to a vertical state with the vertical pipe, making it easier to hang the next towel.

[0048] 4. All the hanging rods of most electric towel racks on the market are at the same distance from the vertical pipe, which causes the upper towels to overlap with the lower towels when the towels are hung on the upper layer. Since the towels are overlapped, the drying efficiency of the towels is not good. The height staggered design of each hanging rod solves the problem of towels covering each other when they are hung on each hanging rod, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the towels.

[0049] Obviously, the above-described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
