Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of towel machines, in particular to a multi-bin switching and unloading structure for towel machines. Background Art

[0002] Disposable compressed towels are gradually gaining acceptance among consumers. Disposable towel dispensers on the market mostly use a single-tube design, limiting the amount of towels they can hold at a time. When a tube is used up, a notification prompts that a new towel is needed. The effective number of disposable compressed towels in a tube typically ranges from 10 to 20. For certain high-frequency use scenarios, frequent changes in the tube can create a negative user experience. This is especially true in portable applications like mini towel dispensers and car towel dispensers, where the number of towels a single tube can hold is limited. Utility Model Content

[0007] The rotating mechanism includes a rotating drum provided on the baffle plate and a servo motor for driving the rotating drum to rotate. A plurality of towel bins extending vertically are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotating drum. The rotation of the servo motor is used to switch the docking of the towel bins with the towel drop port.

[0008] The positioning mechanism includes first magnets evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the bottom of the rotating drum and magnetic Hall sensors arranged on the baffle plate corresponding to the first magnets. The first magnets are arranged next to the towel bins and the number is consistent with that of the towel bins.

[0009] According to the embodiment of the present invention, a towel machine with multiple material bins for switching and unloading has at least the following beneficial effects: the towel machine with multiple material bins for switching and unloading can effectively solve the drawbacks of single-drum towel machines. It uses multiple towel bins that are connected vertically and evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotating drum. One of the towel bins is used for single discharge with the towel drop-off port and the towel receiving tray, and the other unused towel bins are spare bins. When a towel bin is out of towels, the servo motor drives the rotating drum to rotate a certain angle to switch to the next towel bin. The magnetic Hall sensor on the baffle plate cooperates with the first magnet for positioning, ensuring that the towel bin corresponds to the towel drop-off port.

[0038] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 A towel machine multi-bin switching unloading structure is described in detail with a specific embodiment. It is worth noting that the following description is only an exemplary explanation and not a specific limitation of the utility model.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, a towel machine multi-bin switching unloading structure includes a body 100, a rotating mechanism and a positioning mechanism.

[0040] The top of the machine body 100 is provided with a material baffle 110, on which a towel drop-off opening 120 is located, and below which a towel receiving tray 130 is located. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating drum 140 mounted on the material baffle 110 and a servo motor 150 that drives the rotating drum 140. Multiple towel bins 160 extending vertically are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating drum 140. The servo motor 150 rotates to switch the towel bins 160 into alignment with the towel drop-off opening 120. The positioning mechanism includes first magnets 170 evenly distributed along the circumference of the bottom of the rotating drum 140 and magnetic Hall effect sensors 180 mounted on the material baffle 110 corresponding to the first magnets 170. The first magnets 170 are located next to the towel bins 160 and the number of the first magnets 170 is the same as that of the first magnets 170. It should be noted that the first magnets 170 are rod-shaped, which facilitates installation within the rotating drum 140. The multi-bin switching unloading structure of a towel machine designed in this case can effectively solve the disadvantages of a single-drum towel machine. It adopts multiple towel bins 160 that are connected vertically and evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotating drum 140. One of the towel bins 160 is used for single unloading with the towel outlet 120 and the towel receiving tray 130, and the other unused towel bins 160 are spare bins. When a towel bin 160 is out of towels, the servo motor 150 drives the rotating drum 140 to rotate a certain angle to switch to the next towel bin 160. The magnetic Hall sensor 180 on the baffle plate 110 cooperates with the first magnet 170 for positioning, ensuring that the position of the towel bin 160 corresponds to the towel outlet 120. The user can continue to use the towel machine uninterruptedly, reducing the frequency of adding towels to the towel machine. At the same time, the user can add disposable compressed towels to the towel bin 160 that is out of towels without affecting the use.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cover 190 connected to the main body 100 is provided above the rotating drum 140. The cover 190 protects the rotating drum 140 and enhances its aesthetics. Specifically, the cover 190 is provided with a towel loading port 200 corresponding to the towel bin 160. This facilitates adding towels without removing the cover. Furthermore, a cover 210 is provided on the cover 190. This protects the cover from dust, preventing it from entering the towel bin 160.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a second magnet 220 is installed at the top of the rotating drum 140, located between the two towel bins 160, and a third magnet 260 is installed at the top of the cover 190, corresponding to the position of the second magnet 220. This arrangement is used to correct angular deviation during motor rotation. When the rotating drum 140 rotates and reaches the target position, the second magnet 220 and the third magnet 260 attract each other, ensuring that the towel bins 160 and the towel drop port 120 are fixed in position. At the same time, the gears will not have a gap in the virtual position and run back and forth. This makes good use of the principle of magnetic force to achieve precise positioning of the product without increasing the cost of the rotating structure.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the cover tube 190 is provided with a buckle 230 for clamping with the fuselage 100. This arrangement is conducive to disassembly and assembly of the cover tube 190, and is convenient for repair and maintenance.

[0044] It should be noted that there are four towel bins 160. This arrangement provides a sufficient supply of towels while keeping the towel dispenser compact. Furthermore, the first magnet 170 is positioned between the two towel bins 160. This arrangement provides a convenient mounting location for the first magnet 170 on the rotating drum 140 and ensures consistent rotation angles during each rotation. It should be noted that the number of towel bins 160 can also be three or any other number.

[0045] It is understandable that the shape of the retaining plate 110 is circular, which is beneficial for arranging the rotating drum 140 and for cooperating the rotating drum 140 with the retaining plate 110.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, a mounting seat 240 is provided at the center of the top surface of the material blocking plate 110, and the mounting seat 240 is provided with a mounting groove 250 for mounting the servo motor 150. The provision of the mounting seat 240 and the mounting groove 250 is conducive to mounting the servo motor 150 on the material blocking plate 110.
