Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the 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.

[0019] Example: See Figure 1-4 , a towel drying rack with a prompting function, comprising a base 13, a mounting box 12 is mounted on the top of the base 13, and a hot air component is arranged inside the mounting box 12;

[0020] The hot air assembly includes a heating pipe 23, and the heating pipe 23 is installed on the inner wall of the installation box 12, a fan 24 is installed at the bottom end of the inner wall of the heating pipe 23, a plurality of air inlets 25 are opened on the outer wall of the heating pipe 23, and dustproof nets are installed on the inner walls of the air inlets 25;

[0021] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the fan 24 and the heating tube 23 are started, and the fan 24 blows the heat on the heating tube 23 to the inside of the vertical tube 11, and the hot air is evenly ejected from the through hole 10 on the vertical tube 11 to dry the towel.

[0022] A vertical pipe 11 is installed at the top of the installation box 12, and a plurality of through holes 10 are opened on the outer wall of the vertical pipe 11. A warning light 8 is installed at the top of the vertical pipe 11, and a control module 14 is installed at the center of the top of the warning light 8. A plurality of fixed shafts 18 are installed on the inner wall of the warning light 8 through bearings, and the bottom ends of the fixed shafts 18 are all installed with installation boxes 6, and a pressure sensor 22 is installed at the top of the installation box 6.

[0023] A movable plate 20 is arranged above the pressure sensor 22 inside the installation box 6, a connecting rod 19 is fixed to the bottom end of the movable plate 20, and the connecting rod 19 extends to the bottom of the installation box 6 and a fixing bar 9 is installed, two clips 7 are installed at the bottom end of the fixing bar 9, and a supporting spring 21 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod 19 inside the installation box 6;

[0024] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the towel to be dried is clamped by the clip 7, and the towel will apply a pulling force to the movable plate 20 through the fixing strip 9 and the connecting rod 19, causing the movable plate 20 to press down the pressure sensor 22.

[0025] A buzzer 16 is installed on the top of the fixing plate 5, and a plurality of warning lights 8 are installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate 5;

[0026] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, after the towel is dried, the buzzer 16 emits a buzzer sound to remind the staff, and the prompt light 8 at the corresponding position lights up, making it convenient for the staff to take off the dried towel.

[0027] The top of the fixed shaft 18 extends to the top of the fixed plate 5 and is installed with the first gear 1, the top of the fixed plate 5 is installed with a gear ring 2, the inner wall of the gear ring 2 is fixed with a gear ring 17, the top center of the fixed plate 5 is installed with a fixed frame 4, and the top of the fixed frame 4 is installed with a servo motor 3, and the output end of the servo motor 3 is installed with a second gear 15;

[0028] The second gear 15 is meshed with the gear ring 17, and the first gear 1 is meshed with the gear ring 2;

[0029] An annular guide groove is provided at the top of the fixed plate 5, an annular guide block is installed at the bottom of the gear ring 2, and the gear ring 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 5 through the cooperation between the annular guide block and the annular guide groove;

[0030] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the servo motor 3 can drive the second gear 15 to cooperate, so that the gear ring 17 rotates. The gear ring 17 causes the fixed shaft 18 to rotate with the cooperation of the gear ring 2 and the first gear 1, and finally the fixed bar 9 drives the towel to rotate slowly, so that each position of the towel can be close to the through hole 10, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0031] The servo motor 3 , the buzzer 16 , the fan 24 and the heating tube 23 are electrically connected to the control module 14 through wires, and the pressure sensor 22 is electrically connected to the single chip microcomputer inside the control module 14 .

[0032] Working principle: When using the device, first clamp the towel to be dried with the clip 7, and the towel will apply tension to the movable plate 20 through the fixing strip 9 and the connecting rod 19, causing the movable plate 20 to press down the pressure sensor 22, and the pressure sensor 22 transmits the detected pressure value to the control module 14;

[0033] Then, the fan 24 and the heating tube 23 are started, and the fan 24 blows the heat on the heating tube 23 to the inside of the vertical tube 11, and the hot air is evenly ejected from the through hole 10 on the vertical tube 11 to dry the towel. At the same time, the servo motor 3 is started, and the servo motor 3 can drive the second gear 15 to cooperate, so that the gear ring 17 rotates. The gear ring 17 causes the fixed shaft 18 to rotate by the cooperation of the gear ring 2 and the first gear 1, and finally the fixed bar 9 drives the towel to rotate slowly, so that each position of the towel can be close to the through hole 10, thereby improving the drying efficiency;

[0034] After the moisture inside the towel is completely dried, the quality of the towel will decrease. Therefore, when the pressure sensor 22 detects that the pressure value is less than the preset threshold, it can be considered that the towel has been dried. The control module 14 will control the heating tube 23 and the fan 24 to turn off, and at the same time control the buzzer 16 to make a buzzer sound to remind the staff, and light up the prompt light 8 at the corresponding position to facilitate the staff to take out the dried towel.

[0035] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
