Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heating control system technology, specifically a towel timed heating bucket control system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most household towel racks only have a natural drying function. While these racks can dry wet towels quickly in summer, they are insufficient for timely drying in spring, autumn, and winter. Wet towels left damp for extended periods are prone to bacterial growth, mold, and spoilage. Therefore, towel racks with heating functions exist, such as the published patent document "CN218247033U, A Smart Electric Heating Towel Rack Control System," which achieves both drying and energy efficiency. However, this patented solution continuously heats the towels, which is often only needed for specific time periods at home. Maintaining the towel temperature continuously consumes a significant amount of electricity. Therefore, a more user-friendly control system is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a timed heating control system for towels to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A timed towel heating drum control system includes a heating drum body, a placement cavity inside the heating drum body, a heating component and a temperature sensor in the placement cavity, and the heating component and temperature sensor are electrically connected to a control device.

[0006] The control device includes a microprocessor, which is electrically connected to a switch module, a power control module, a timer one, a timer two, a communication switch module one, and a communication switch module two.

[0007] The communication switch module is electrically connected to the heating control module and is used to control the data communication and switching between the heating control module and the microprocessor. The heating control module causes the heating component to heat up to more than 100°C.

[0008] The second communication switch module is electrically connected to the constant temperature control module and is used to control the data communication and switching between the constant temperature control module and the microprocessor. The first communication switch module and the second communication switch module are electrically connected and their switching modes are opposite.

[0009] The timer is used to control the on / off state of the communication switch module.

[0010] The second timer is used to control the start and stop of the microprocessor.

[0011] A further technical solution also includes a time adjustment module, which is electrically connected to the timer.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the constant temperature control module includes a comparator and a memory electrically connected together. The memory is electrically connected to a temperature data regulator, which can adjust the temperature data to be less than 80°C.

[0013] In a further technical solution, the heating component is a heating film that covers the inner wall of the placement cavity.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention is more suitable for short-term timed applications. People can set the timer for the system before leaving home and use it when they return. When the system is working, it first uses the heating component to rapidly raise the temperature inside the placement chamber to achieve a sterilization effect. Then, after the temperature drops to a certain level, the heating component is activated again to raise the temperature inside the placement chamber. After reaching the heat preservation temperature, the heating component is stopped again. This cycle repeats, so there is no need to constantly provide energy to generate heat, which greatly improves the energy-saving effect.

[0016] When the second timer expires, the microprocessor shuts down, and the entire system enters a silent state. As mentioned earlier, this system is suitable for short-term towel heating. If a user is out and about and cannot return for a short time, the user may not need the hot towel when they return. Therefore, the system will shut down after the time expires to avoid consuming power for an extended period.

[0017] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-3 ;

[0024] The control system described in this utility model is suitable for short-term timed applications, avoiding the consumption of large amounts of electrical energy during prolonged heating. Users can set the timer before leaving home and use the system upon returning, providing a better experience. Specifically, it includes a heating barrel body 11, with a placement cavity 12 inside. The placement cavity 12 houses a heating component 13 and a temperature sensor 14, which are electrically connected to the control device. It should be noted that this utility model does not use the rack shape of existing technologies; instead, it adopts a barrel shape to hold the towel, preventing heat loss during heating and achieving a heat preservation effect, allowing the system to heat up faster and reducing heating time, thus achieving energy savings. Furthermore, the control device should include a display screen for operation, enabling operation and providing a more intuitive view of relevant information. Further description of the control device follows.

[0025] Specifically, it includes a microprocessor 21, which is electrically connected to a switch module 22, a power control module 23, a timer 1 24, a timer 25, a communication switch module 1 26, and a communication switch module 27. The communication switch module 1 26 is electrically connected to the heating control module 28 and is used to control the data communication and switching between the heating control module 28 and the microprocessor 21. In this embodiment, the heating control module 28 includes a comparator 281 and a memory 282. The memory 282 has a preset threshold value for comparison with data collected by the temperature sensor 14. Communication switch module 27 is electrically connected to the temperature control module 29 and is used to control the data communication and on / off state between the temperature control module 29 and the microprocessor 21. Communication switch module 1 26 and communication switch module 27 are electrically connected and their switching modes are opposite. That is, when communication switch module 1 26 is in the on state, communication switch module 27 is in the off state, and when communication switch module 27 is in the on state, communication switch module 1 26 is in the off state. In addition, timer 1 24 is used to control the on / off state of communication switch module 1 26; timer 2 25 is used to control the start and stop of the microprocessor 21.

[0026] Assuming the user needs to use it after returning from outside, a clean towel can be placed in the placement chamber 12, and then the system can be started. It should be noted that the towels mentioned in this embodiment are not limited to bath towels, face towels, or other knitted products. Of course, due to the bucket-shaped design, it is not recommended to put in a wet towel that is still dripping water, but a slightly damp towel can still be used with this system. When working, the switch module 22 sends a start command to the microprocessor 21. In the initial state, the communication switch module 1 26 is in the open state, the communication switch module 27 is in the closed state, and the timer 1 24 and the locator 2 are turned on at the same time. In this embodiment, the timer 1 24 time is less than the timer 2 25. For example, the timer 2 25 preset time is 3 hours, and the timer 1 24 preset time is 15 minutes. Then, within 15 minutes, the heating component 13 will raise the temperature of the placement chamber 12 to above 100°C, preferably 120°C, which can achieve a sterilization effect.

[0027] Temperature sensor 14 continuously acquires the temperature inside placement cavity 12 and then transmits the data to microprocessor 21. At this time, communication switch module 1 26 is in the open state, and microprocessor 21 can communicate with heating control module 28 to transmit data to comparator 281. Simultaneously, comparator 281 retrieves data from memory 282 for comparison. If the heating temperature is reached first, comparator 1 291 sends a signal to communication switch module 22 to turn it off, communication switch module 27 to turn on, and microprocessor 21 resets timer 1 24. If the heating temperature rises slowly, communication switch module 1 26 is forcibly turned off and communication switch module 27 to turn on after the positioner's time expires, and timer 1 24 is reset. Regardless of which method is used, the two temperatures will not differ significantly.

[0028] At this point, the system enters the heat preservation mode. Temperature sensor 14 continuously monitors the temperature inside the placement cavity 12. The monitored value is then sent to the constant temperature control module 29 for calculation. If the temperature value monitored by temperature sensor 14 exceeds the preset range of the constant temperature control module 29, neither the constant temperature control module 29 nor the heating control module 28 outputs a signal to the microprocessor 21, causing the power control module 23 to shut down and the heating component 13 to stop working. This continues until the temperature of the placement cavity 12 drops to the preset value, i.e., the value monitored by temperature sensor 14 falls within the preset range of the constant temperature control module 29. In this case, the constant temperature control module 29 sends a signal to the microprocessor 21, activating the power control module 23 and starting the heating component 13. When the value monitored by temperature sensor 14 again exceeds the preset range of the constant temperature control module 29, the constant temperature control module 29 stops sending signals to the microprocessor 21, and the power control module 23 shuts down again, stopping the heating component 13 once more. This cycle repeats, eliminating the need for constant energy supply to generate heat and significantly improving energy efficiency.

[0029] When timer 25 expires, microprocessor 21 shuts down, and the entire system enters a silent state. As mentioned earlier, this system is suitable for short-term towel heating. If a user goes out and encounters other matters and cannot return for a short time, the user may not need to use the hot towel when they return. Therefore, the system will shut down after the time expires to avoid consuming power for a long time. If the user needs to use the hot towel again when they return, the system can be restarted.

[0030] It should be noted that the switch module 22 described in this system can provide on and off signals, and can also be electrically connected to the wireless module to realize remote on and off functions, so as to make up for related deficiencies.

[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, a time adjustment module 30 is also included. The time adjustment module 30 is electrically connected to the second timer 25. The time adjustment module 30 can change the set time of the second timer 25. For example, the preset time is 3 hours. The time adjustment module 30 can adjust the time of the second timer 25 to 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, etc., but the set time is always greater than the preset time of the first timer 24.

[0032] In this embodiment of the present invention, the constant temperature control module 29 includes a comparator 291 and a memory 292 electrically connected to each other. The memory 292 is electrically connected to a temperature data regulator 293. The temperature data regulator 293 can adjust the temperature data to be less than 80°C. The data in the memory can be modified by the temperature data regulator 293. When the user modifies the temperature data in the memory to 70°C by the temperature data regulator 293, that is, when the temperature sensor 14 obtains that the temperature inside the placement cavity 12 is lower than 70°C, the comparator 291 will output the result to the microprocessor 21. Therefore, the user can set a temperature that suits their needs.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the heating component 13 is a heating film that covers the inner wall of the placement cavity 12, which can heat the towel from all directions and make the heating range more uniform.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
