DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only partial embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a towel compression machine includes a first containing body 1, a second containing body 2, a pushing device 3 and a water pump 4.

[0035] The first containing body 1 has a first cavity 11 , in which water 12 is contained when in use; a groove 13 for receiving a compressed towel is provided on the top of the first containing body 1 .

[0036] The second containing body 2 has a second cavity 21. The first containing body 1 is disposed adjacent to the first containing body 2. A plurality of compressed towels 6 stacked up and down are placed in the second cavity 21. The compressed towels 6 at the bottom are supported upward by an elastic device 5, and the compressed towels 6 at the top are pressed by the top wall 22 of the second cavity.

[0037] A pushing device 3, which is arranged adjacent to the compressed towel 6 at the top, and is used to push a compressed towel at the top into the groove 13 at the top of the first cavity;

[0038] The water pump 4 is used to pump the water 12 in the first cavity 11 into the groove 13 .

[0039] During operation, a compressed towel 6 located at the top is quickly moved into the groove 13 at the top of the first cavity by the pushing device 3, and then quickly returned to its original position; then the water pump 4 pumps the water 12 in the first cavity 11 into the groove 13, and the amount of water pumped in can ensure that the compressed towel has sufficient water absorption, so that the compressed towel expands when it meets water, unfolds intact, and can be used, thereby realizing the direct addition of water to the compressed towel.

[0040] When a compressed towel 6 at the top is pushed out, the elastic device 5 will push the entire compressed towel layer upward, so that multiple compressed towels can be used in sequence.

[0041] Compared with the compressed towel dispensing device of CN207837456U, the entire working process of the compressed towel machine does not require rotating blades, but realizes the sequential use of multiple compressed towels through a pushing device and an elastic device, thereby making the overall structure different.

[0042] As a specific implementation, the first container and the second container can be welded into one body, or can be directly integrally formed from the same material.

[0043] As a specific embodiment, a slideway 14 is provided from the first container 1 to the second container 2, and the slideway 14 leads from the compressed towel 23 at the top to the groove 13. When the top of the first container 1 is a truncated cone-shaped groove as a whole, the slideway may not be required. When the groove is not a truncated cone as a whole, that is, the groove 13 is only provided at a small part of the top, the slideway 14 is provided accordingly, so that the compressed towel can slide into the groove 13 conveniently.

[0044] As a specific embodiment, the elastic device 5 includes a spring 51 and a pressure plate 52. The compressed towel 6 at the bottom is placed on the pressure plate 52. One end of the spring 51 is fixed to the pressure plate 52, and the other end of the spring 52 is fixed to the bottom wall 24 of the second cavity. In this embodiment, the spring is a compression spring, which pushes the entire compressed towel layer upward. The elastic device can also have other embodiments, for example, the spring is a tension spring, one end of the spring is fixed to the pressure plate, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the top wall of the second cavity, and the tension spring pulls the entire compressed towel layer upward. The first embodiment is preferred, which is more convenient and stable to set up.

[0045] As a specific implementation, the pushing device is a linear motor and a push rod fixed on the linear motor. The linear motor is a transmission device that directly converts electrical energy into linear motion mechanical energy without any intermediate conversion mechanism. The linear motor is also called a linear motor, a linear motor, and a linear motor. There are commercially available linear motors. The linear motor can achieve rapid pushing and retracting, thereby achieving rapid pushing and retracting of the push rod on the linear motor.

[0046] As another specific embodiment, the pushing device 3 is a screw moving slide 31 and a push rod 32 fixed on the screw moving slide. The screw moving slide 31 is also called a screw slide, a screw module, etc., and there are commercial products on the market. Therefore, the internal structure of the screw moving slide, which is already the prior art, is not described in detail. Figure 4The push rod 32 fixed on the screw moving slide 31 is schematically shown. The screw moving slide can be pushed and retracted quickly, thereby realizing the push rod on the screw moving slide to be pushed and retracted quickly.

[0047] Of course, the pushing device may also have other implementations to achieve rapid pushing and retracting of the push rod, such as designing a pushing device that is simply manually operated to operate the push rod.

[0048] As a specific embodiment, the towel compression machine further includes a control circuit board 7, and the water pump 4 and the linear motor are electrically connected to the control circuit board respectively. The linear motor can be replaced by a screw moving slide, and the motor 33 of the screw moving slide 31 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 7. The towel compression machine can be directly controlled more accurately by the control circuit board. For example, when the linear motor or the motor of the screw moving slide makes the push rod move back and forth once, the water pump is directly controlled to pump water into the groove, and the amount of water can also be pre-designed and controlled by the control circuit board.

[0049] As a further specific embodiment, the control circuit board 7 is powered by a battery 9. That is, the control circuit board is electrically connected to the battery. By powering the battery, the entire compressed towel machine does not need to use a power cord, simplifies the power cord of the entire compressed towel machine, and is more convenient to use.

[0050] As a specific implementation, the pump body of the water pump 4 is installed in the second cavity 21. Of course, the installation position of the pump body of the water pump can be set according to actual conditions, and can be installed on the side wall of the first cavity or in the second cavity. Since there is idle available space in the second cavity, it is preferred to install the pump body of the water pump in the second cavity, and then extend one end of the water pump into the bottom of the first cavity, and the other end of the water pump extends into the top of the groove, so that the water in the first cavity can be pumped into the groove.

[0051] As a specific implementation, multiple compressed towels stacked up and down are installed in a hollow tube 25 with an opening at the top. The top 251 of the hollow tube is spaced from the top wall 22 of the second cavity and meets the following conditions: the thickness of one compressed towel ≤ the distance of the spacer < the sum of the thicknesses of two compressed towels. The multiple compressed towels stacked up and down are called compressed towel layers. Under the action of the elastic device, the compressed towel layer should be higher than the height of one compressed towel in the hollow tube to facilitate the pushing device to be pushed out. The structure of the hollow tube 25 can be seen in Figure 3As shown, support blocks 252 are fixed at both ends. The hollow cylinder has a guiding function, which can make the entire compressed towel layer more stable during operation. Of course, the internal hollow structure of the hollow cylinder matches the structure of the compressed towel layer. For example, if the compressed towel layer is cylindrical, the internal hollow structure of the hollow cylinder is also cylindrical; if the compressed towel layer is rectangular, the internal hollow structure of the hollow cylinder is also rectangular. This embodiment takes a cylindrical compressed towel as an example.

[0052] As a specific implementation, a start button 8 is provided on the side wall of the second housing body, and the start button 8 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 7. In this way, a start signal can be given to the control circuit board 7 through the start button 8, thereby controlling the linear motor in the pushing device or the motor of the lead screw moving slide to perform work. Of course, human-computer interaction can also be achieved by setting a control panel.

[0053] It should be noted that the amount of water loaded in the first cavity of the compressed towel machine can ensure the water requirement of the entire compressed towel layer. In this way, the water in the first cavity can be appropriately replenished only when the compressed towel is replenished.

[0054] The temperature of the water is not limited, and warm water, hot water, water at room temperature, or even ice water can be added as needed.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, for example, using batteries, not using a power cord, and loading warm or hot water, the compressed towel machine can be called a wireless hot towel machine. Wireless means no power cord. This should also be within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0056] The serial numbers first, second, etc. in this specification are for distinguishing descriptions and do not contain any order or express or imply any relative importance, such as the first container and the second container, or the first cavity and the second cavity.

[0057] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. All equivalent embodiments or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
