Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household goods, and in particular to a foldable towel rack. Background Technology

[0002] Towel racks are common items in daily life and are widely used in homes, hotels, public bathrooms, and other places. They play an important role in the storage and drying of towels.

[0003] Currently, a folding towel rack has been disclosed, including a mounting base and a mounting plate for fixed connection to a wall. Multiple hooks are fixedly installed on the side of the mounting base facing away from the wall, and a shelf is hinged to the top side of the mounting base. The mounting base has a hanging rod, with mounting bars fixedly installed at both ends. The end of the mounting bar furthest from the hanging rod is hinged to the mounting base. When the folding towel rack is not in use to store towels and toiletries, both the shelf and the hanging rod can be folded upwards, thus saving space.

[0004] After towels are used and draped over a towel rack, they retain moisture. Since towel racks are usually indoors, the moisture on the towels is difficult to evaporate, making them prone to bacterial growth. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to inhibit the growth of bacteria on towels, this application provides a foldable towel rack.

[0006] This application provides a foldable towel rack, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A foldable towel rack includes a mounting base fixed to a wall. A shelf is hinged to the top side of the mounting base. Multiple hooks are fixedly installed on the side of the mounting base away from the wall. The shelf is provided with a hanging tube. Both ends of the hanging tube are fixedly connected to mounting rods. The end of the mounting rod away from the hanging tube is hinged to the side of the mounting base away from the wall. A hot air blower is fixedly installed on the mounting base. A flexible hose is fixedly installed on the hot air blower. One end of the flexible hose is fixedly connected to one end of the hanging tube. The other end of the hanging tube is sealed. Multiple first air outlet holes are opened on the bottom side of the hanging tube.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the towel is draped over the hanging tube, the hot air blower is turned on, and hot air enters the hanging tube through the flexible tube. Then, the hot air is sprayed onto the towel from the first air outlet, which facilitates the drying of the towel and inhibits the growth of bacteria on the towel.

[0009] When items need to be placed on the shelf, flip the hanging tube and shelf downwards to make them horizontal, making it easy to place items on the shelf and drape towels over the hanging tube. When no items are needed on the hanging tube and shelf, flip them upwards to reduce the space occupied by the towel rack. The hanging tube moves with the shelf when it is flipped. Connect the hot air blower to the hanging tube via a flexible hose to ensure that the hanging tube remains connected to the hot air blower even after it moves with the shelf.

[0010] Optionally, the hanging tube is rotatably fitted with multiple shielding cylinders, each shielding cylinder having a second air outlet. The first air outlet and the second air outlet are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The shielding cylinder is equipped with a limiting rod, and the hanging tube body has a limiting groove for the limiting rod to slide. The two ends of the limiting groove are a closed end and an open end. When the limiting rod is at the closed end of the limiting groove, the first air outlet and the second air outlet are offset. When the limiting rod is at the open end of the limiting groove, the first air outlet and the second air outlet are aligned.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, rotating the shielding cylinder aligns or offsets the first and second air outlets, thus facilitating the adjustment of the position of the hot air sprayed from the hanging pipe. Adjusting the position of the hot air sprayed from the hanging pipe allows hot air to be sprayed onto the area where the towel is draped, thus drying it and inhibiting bacteria; while stopping the spray from the area where the towel is not draped allows for full utilization of the hot air from the hot air blower, thereby achieving energy savings.

[0012] Optionally, a drive plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the shielding cylinder. When the limiting rod is at the closed end of the limiting groove, the drive plate is inclined from the side away from the shielding cylinder to the other side and gradually approaches the mounting base. Multiple elastic blocks are fixedly installed on the side of the drive plate away from the shielding cylinder, and the elastic blocks are conical.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, after the towel is draped over the hanging tube, grasping both sides of the towel and pulling it downwards causes the towel to squeeze the drive plate to rotate downwards. After the drive plate rotates downwards, it drives the shielding cylinder to rotate, aligning the first and second air outlets, thus facilitating the adjustment of the position of the hot air sprayed from the hanging tube to align with the position of the towel. When the towel is needed, pulling one side of the towel off the hanging tube is sufficient. An elastic block increases the friction between the drive plate and the towel, causing the towel to drive the drive plate upwards, which in turn drives the shielding cylinder to rotate, thus misaligning the first and second air outlets.

[0014] Optionally, the elastic block has a hollow structure, an air storage bag is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shielding cylinder, the drive plate and the shielding cylinder have vents that connect the air storage bag and the elastic block, the hanging pipe has a venting groove, when the limiting rod is at the closed end of the limiting groove, the air storage bag enters the venting groove, when the limiting rod is at the open end of the limiting groove, the air storage bag abuts against the outer wall of the hanging pipe.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after placing the towel on the hanging tube and pulling the towel downwards to press the drive plate, the air reservoir moves out of the deflation groove. The air reservoir and the outer wall of the hanging tube press against each other, and the gas inside the air reservoir enters the elastic block, causing the elastic block to expand. When the towel is removed from the hanging tube, the elastic block expands, making it easier for the towel to drive the drive plate to rotate upwards. After the air reservoir enters the deflation groove, the gas inside the elastic block enters the air reservoir, causing the elastic block to soften. After the elastic block softens, the friction between the towel and the drive plate decreases, making it easier to remove the towel from the hanging tube.

[0016] Optionally, the venting groove is connected to the closed end of each of the limiting grooves, the depth of the venting groove is less than the depth of the limiting groove, a sliding block is fixedly installed at one end of the limiting rod, the shielding cylinder has a through hole for the sliding block to pass through for damping, a first limiting block is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding block away from the limiting rod, the first limiting block is located outside the shielding cylinder, the width of the venting groove is less than the size of the sliding block, and the width of the limiting groove is greater than or equal to the size of the sliding block.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the shielding cylinder onto the hanging pipe, the limiting rod is allowed to enter the interior of the shielding cylinder. Then, the limiting rod is aligned with the venting groove, and the shielding cylinder is fitted onto the hanging pipe. The shielding cylinder is moved to the desired position on the hanging pipe, and then the first limiting block is pressed, allowing the sliding block to enter the limiting groove, thereby facilitating the installation of the shielding cylinder onto the hanging pipe.

[0018] Optionally, an air guide plate is installed on the bottom side of the hanging pipe, and the air guide plate is inclined and gradually lowers to both sides along the center line.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, after the hot air is ejected from the first air outlet and the second air outlet, the hot air is guided to flow to both sides by the air guide plate, which facilitates the drying of the towel and inhibits the growth of bacteria on the towel.

[0020] Optionally, an ultraviolet lamp is provided on the bottom side of the hanging tube, and connecting rods are fixedly installed at both ends of the ultraviolet lamp. The end of the connecting rod away from the ultraviolet lamp is fixedly connected to the hanging tube, and the air guide plate is lifted and installed on the top side of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, ultraviolet lamps are turned on to irradiate the towels, thereby inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the towels.

[0022] Optionally, there are multiple air guide plates, which are arranged sequentially along the length of the ultraviolet lamp. Each air guide plate corresponds to a shielding cylinder. Shielding plates are hinged to both sides of each air guide plate. A driving assembly is installed on each air guide plate to drive the shielding plates to rotate.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive component unfolds the baffle at the towel's location based on the towel's position on the hanging tube, thus facilitating UV sterilization of the towel. The baffles located outside the towel's position move closer together to block the UV lamps, reducing the possibility of UV light irradiating the human body.

[0024] Optionally, the driving assembly includes an elastic strip, a driving strip, and a magnetic strip. The elastic strip is fixedly installed between the two baffles on the side away from the air guide plate. The elastic strip is used to drive the two baffles on the side away from the air guide plate to move closer to each other. The driving strip is fixedly installed in the middle of the top side of the air guide plate. The magnetic strip is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the baffle cylinder where the second air outlet is opened. Both the magnetic strip and the driving strip are arranged along the length direction of the baffle cylinder. The magnetic strip is used to attract the driving strip.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when the towel is hung on the hanging tube and the first and second air outlets are aligned, the magnetic strip moves above the drive strip, attracting the drive strip and thus causing the guide plate to move upward. As the guide plate moves upward, the baffle plate and the ultraviolet lamp press against each other, causing the two baffle plates on the same guide plate to rotate away from each other, thereby facilitating the ultraviolet lamp to irradiate the towel.

[0026] When the towel is removed from the hanging tube, it causes the drive plate to rotate upwards, causing the first and second air outlets to shift out of alignment. With the first and second air outlets shifted, the magnetic strip moves away from the drive strip, allowing the elastic strip to move the two baffles on the same guide plate closer together and rotate, thus facilitating the blocking of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0027] Optionally, a guide rod is fixedly installed on the top side of the ultraviolet lamp, the guide rod slides through the air guide plate, and a second limiting block is fixedly installed at the top end of the guide rod.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the air guide plate slides on the guide rod, thus facilitating its raising and lowering on the ultraviolet lamp. The second limiting block is used to restrict the air guide plate from sliding off the guide rod.

[0029] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0030] 1. After draping the towel over the hanging tube, turn on the hot air blower. Hot air enters the hanging tube through the hose, and then sprays out from the first and second air outlets to dry the towel, thereby inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the towel.

[0031] 2. After draping the towel over the hanging tube, grasp both sides of the towel and pull it down. The drive plate at the towel location will rotate downward due to the pressure of the towel. The drive plate will drive the shielding cylinder to rotate, thereby aligning the first and second air outlets at the towel location. This makes it easier to adjust the air outlet position of the hot air, allowing the hot air to be sprayed out at the towel location. This helps to make full use of the hot air sprayed by the hot air blower, thus achieving an energy-saving effect. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] This application discloses a foldable towel rack.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 A foldable towel rack includes a mounting base 1, with a shelf 2 hinged to the top side of the mounting base 1. Multiple hooks 3 are fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting base 1 away from the wall. The shelf 2 has a hanging tube 4, with mounting rods 7 fixedly connected to both ends of the hanging tube 4. The end of the mounting rod 7 away from the hanging tube 4 is hinged to the side of the mounting base 1 away from the wall. When no towels or toiletries are placed on the towel rack, the shelf 2 and hanging tube 4 can be folded upwards for storage, thus saving space.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 A hot air blower 8 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1, and a flexible hose 9 is fixedly mounted on the air outlet end of the hot air blower 8. The end of the flexible hose 9 away from the hot air blower 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the hanging pipe 4, and the other end of the hanging pipe 4 is sealed. Multiple first air outlets 10 are provided on the body of the hanging pipe 4, spaced apart along its length. When the hook 3 is flipped downwards to a horizontal position for hanging towels, the first air outlets 10 are located on the bottom side of the hanging pipe 4. When a towel is draped over the hanging pipe 4, the hot air blown by the hot air blower 8 passes through the flexible hose 9 and the hanging pipe 4 and is then ejected from the first air outlets 10. The hot air accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the towel, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth on the towel.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 Multiple shielding cylinders 12 are rotatably sleeved on the hanging pipe 4, and each shielding cylinder 12 has a second air outlet 11. In this embodiment, the shielding cylinder 12 has three second air outlets 11. After the shielding cylinder 12 is installed on the hanging pipe 4, it covers the three first air outlets 10. The first air outlets 10 and the second air outlets 11 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0046] Depending on the position of the towel draped on the hanging pipe 4, rotate the shielding cylinder 12 at the towel's location to align the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11. Hot air will then be ejected from the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11. Then, rotate the shielding cylinder 12 outside the towel's location to offset the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11, thus preventing hot air from being ejected. By having hot air ejected from the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11 at the towel's location, the hot air generated by the hot air blower 8 can be fully utilized, thereby achieving energy savings.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4The shielding cylinder 12 is provided with a limit rod 13. A sliding block 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the limit rod 13, and a first limit block 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding block 14 away from the limit rod 13. The shielding cylinder 12 has a through hole 16 for the sliding block 14 to pass through for damping. The first limit block 15 is located outside the shielding cylinder 12, and the limit rod 13 is located inside the shielding cylinder 12.

[0048] The hanging pipe 4 has a venting groove 17 for the sliding of the limiting rod 13, which is arranged along the length of the hanging pipe 4. The width of the venting groove 17 is smaller than the size of the sliding block 14, thus preventing the sliding block 14 from entering the venting groove 17. The hanging pipe 4 also has a limiting groove 18 for the sliding of the limiting rod 13, which is arranged along the circumference of the hanging pipe 4. The width of the limiting groove 18 is greater than or equal to the size of the sliding block 14, thus allowing the sliding block 14 to enter the limiting groove 18. One end of the limiting groove 18 is a closed end, and the other end is an open end. The closed end of the limiting groove 18 is connected to the venting groove 17.

[0049] Pull the first limiting block 15 to move the sliding block 14 out of the interior of the shielding cylinder 12, while the limiting rod 13 remains inside the shielding cylinder 12. Align the limiting rod 13 with the venting groove 17 and slide it in, pushing the shielding cylinder 12 to slide on the hanging pipe 4. After the shielding cylinder 12 moves to the required installation position, the limiting rod 13 is at the connection between the venting groove 17 and the limiting groove 18. Then, push the first limiting block 15 against the outer wall of the shielding cylinder 12, allowing the sliding block 14 to enter the limiting groove 18, thereby installing the shielding cylinder 12 onto the hanging pipe 4. By making the sliding block 14 larger than the width of the venting groove 17, the occurrence of the shielding cylinder 12 sliding on the hanging pipe 4 is reduced.

[0050] After the shielding sleeve is installed on the hanging pipe 4, the shielding cylinder 12 is rotated. When the limiting rod 13 moves to the closed end of the limiting groove 18, the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11 are staggered. When the limiting rod 13 moves to the open end of the limiting groove 18, the first air outlet and the second air outlet 11 are aligned, so as to facilitate the rotation of the shielding cylinder 12 to control the position of the hot air sprayed on the hanging pipe 4.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 A drive plate 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the shielding cylinder 12. When the limiting rod 13 is at the closed end of the limiting groove 18, the drive plate 19 is inclined and gradually approaches the mounting base 1 from the side away from the shielding cylinder 12 to the other side. A plurality of elastic blocks 20 are fixedly installed on the side of the drive plate 19 away from the shielding cylinder 12. The elastic blocks 20 are conical.

[0052] The elastic block 20 has a hollow structure, and an air-storing bladder 21 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shielding cylinder 12. The drive plate 19 and the shielding cylinder 12 have vents 22 that connect the air-storing bladder 21 and the elastic block 20. When the limiting rod 13 is at the closed end of the limiting groove 18, the air-storing bladder 21 enters the venting groove 17. When the limiting rod 13 is at the open end of the limiting groove 18, the air-storing bladder 21 abuts against the outer wall of the hanging pipe 4.

[0053] After the towel is used and draped over the hanging tube 4, grasp both sides of the towel and pull it downwards. The towel squeezing drive plate 19 rotates downwards, causing the baffle cylinder 12 to rotate, thereby moving the limiting rod 13 from the closed end of the limiting groove 18 to the open end, aligning the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11. The remaining drive plates 19 that are not squeezed by the towel remain stationary, thus misaligning the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11 outside the towel's position, making it easier to adjust the hot air outlet position on the hanging tube 4 to the towel's hanging position.

[0054] At the same time, after the limiting rod 13 moves from the closed end of the limiting groove 18 to the open end, the air storage bag 21 and the outer wall of the hanging tube 4 are squeezed against each other, and the gas inside the air storage bag 21 enters the elastic block 20. After the elastic block 20 is filled with gas, its hardness increases.

[0055] When a towel is needed, pull on one side of the towel. The elastic block 20 is rigid, resulting in high friction between the towel and the drive plate 19. Pulling the towel causes the drive plate 19 to rotate upwards. After the drive plate 19 rotates the shielding cylinder 12, the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11 are misaligned, allowing the first air outlet 10 to automatically close after the towel is removed from the hanging tube 4. As the drive plate 19 rotates upwards, the limiting rod 13 moves from the open end to the closed end of the limiting groove 18, causing the air reservoir 21 to enter the deflation groove 17. When the air reservoir 21 enters the deflation groove 17, the air inside the elastic block 20 returns to the air reservoir 20, softening the elastic block 20. The softened elastic block 20 then facilitates the removal of the towel from the hanging tube 4.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 An air guide plate 23 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the hanging pipe 4. The air guide plate 23 is inclined and gradually lowers to both sides along the center line. After the hot air is sprayed out from the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11, the hot air flows to both sides under the guidance of the air guide plate 23, which facilitates the drying of the towel and inhibits the growth of bacteria on the towel.

[0057] The implementation principle of a foldable towel rack in this application embodiment is as follows: at the beginning, the limiting rod 13 corresponding to each shielding cylinder 12 is placed at the closed end of the limiting groove 18, so that each first air outlet 10 on the hanging tube 4 is blocked and closed by the shielding cylinder 12.

[0058] After hanging the towel on the hanging tube 4, grasp both sides of the towel and pull downwards. The drive plate 19 rotates downwards under the pressure of the towel, causing the shielding cylinder 12 to rotate. The shielding cylinder 12 then moves the limiting rod 13 from the closed end of the limiting groove 18 to the open end, aligning the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11 at the towel's location. Then, the hot air blower 8 is turned on, and hot air enters the hanging tube 4 through the hose 9, then sprays out from the aligned position of the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11. The alignment of the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11 is precisely where the towel is draped over the hanging tube 4, while the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11 are staggered outside the towel's location. This facilitates full utilization of the hot air sprayed by the hot air blower 8, thus achieving energy saving. Simultaneously, the hot air accelerates the drying speed of the towel, thereby inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the towel.

[0059] When the towel is needed, grasp one side of the towel and pull it down. The elastic block 20 increases the friction between the drive plate 19 and the towel, thereby causing the towel to drive the drive plate 19 to rotate upward. The drive plate 19 drives the shielding cylinder 12 to rotate. The shielding cylinder 12 drives the limiting rod 13 to move from the open end of the limiting groove 18 to the closed end. The first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11 at the position of the towel are staggered, so that each shielding cylinder 12 can be reset and re-block the first air outlet 10.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] This application discloses a foldable towel rack.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The difference between this embodiment of the foldable towel rack and Embodiment 1 is that an ultraviolet lamp 24 is provided on the bottom side of the hanging tube 4, and connecting rods 5 are fixedly installed at both ends of the ultraviolet lamp 24. The end of the connecting rod 5 away from the ultraviolet lamp 24 is fixedly connected to the hanging tube 4. A guide rod 6 is fixedly installed on the top side of the ultraviolet lamp 24. The guide rod 6 slides through the air guide plate 23, thereby facilitating the air guide plate 23 to move up and down above the ultraviolet lamp 24. A second limiting block 25 is fixedly installed at the top of the guide rod 6. The second limiting block 25 is used to prevent the air guide plate 23 from sliding off the guide rod 6.

[0063] After the towel is dried by the hot air blower 8, the ultraviolet lamp 24 is turned on to irradiate the towel, thereby further inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the towel.

[0064] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7There are multiple air guide plates 23, which are arranged sequentially along the length of the ultraviolet lamp 24. Each air guide plate 23 corresponds to a shielding cylinder 12, and shielding plates 26 are hinged to both sides of the air guide plate 23. The air guide plate 23 is provided with a driving assembly 27, which includes an elastic strip 271, a driving strip 272, and a magnetic strip 273.

[0065] An elastic strip 271 is fixedly installed between the two baffle plates 26 on the side away from the air guide plate 23. The elastic strip 271 is used to drive the two baffle plates 26 on the side away from the air guide plate 23 to move closer to each other. A drive strip 272 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top side of the air guide plate 23, and a magnetic strip 273 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the baffle cylinder 12 where the second air outlet 11 is opened. Both the magnetic strip 273 and the drive strip 272 are arranged along the length direction of the baffle cylinder 12, and the magnetic strip 273 is used to attract the drive strip 272.

[0066] The implementation principle of a foldable towel rack according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: After the towel is hung on the hanging tube 4 and the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11 are aligned, the magnetic strip 273 is located above the drive strip 272. The magnetic strip 273 attracts the drive strip 272, thereby causing the air guide plate 23 to move upward. Then, the baffles 26 on both sides of the air guide plate 23 press against the ultraviolet lamp 24, and the two baffles 26 on the same air guide plate 23 rotate away from each other, thereby facilitating the exposure of the ultraviolet lamp 24 to irradiate the towel.

[0067] After the towel is removed from the hanging tube 4, and the first air outlet 10 and the second air outlet 11 are staggered, the magnetic strip 273 moves away from the drive strip 272, the air guide plate 23 moves downward, and the elastic strip 271 drives the two shielding plates 26 on the same air guide plate 23 to move closer to each other and rotate, so as to facilitate the shielding of the ultraviolet lamp 24.

[0068] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
