Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] The number of any elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not as a limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0027] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0028] An embodiment of a combined electric towel rack provided by this utility model:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a modular electric towel rack includes a main frame 1 and side supports 2 detachably mounted on the main frame 1. The side supports 2 can be detached from both the left and right sides of the main frame 1, and the lengths of the side supports 2 are inconsistent. A bracket plate for external connection and installation is provided on the rear side of the main frame 1, which can be installed by drilling or by adhesive bonding without drilling.

[0030] Users can choose the appropriate side bracket 2 for combination installation according to actual needs and bathroom space size, making the electric towel rack more suitable for actual use environment and improving the flexibility and convenience of use.

[0031] The main frame 1 has vertically spaced U-shaped connectors 11 on both the left and right sides. The rear side plate of the U-shaped connector 11 has a through hole 111. One end of the side bracket 2 has a threaded pin. The threaded pin passes through the through hole 111 and is fastened by a nut.

[0032] During installation, the end of the side bracket 2 is slidably inserted into the U-shaped connector 11 from front to back, ensuring the threaded pin passes through the side bracket 2, and then tightened with a nut. This installation method allows the side bracket 2 to be easily removed, facilitating cleaning, maintenance, or replacement by the user. When the layout or size of the electric towel rack needs to be adjusted, the user only needs to disassemble and reinstall the side bracket 2, without replacing the entire electric towel rack.

[0033] In this embodiment, the left and right side walls of the main frame 1 are also provided with slots 12 corresponding to the U-shaped connector 11. One end of the side bracket 2 is detachably disposed in the U-shaped connector 11. The main frame 1 is provided with a heating element. The side bracket 2 is detachably provided with a heat-conducting element 21. One end of the heat-conducting element 21 away from the main frame 1 is detachably connected to the side bracket 2, and the other end passes through the slot 12 and abuts against the heating element in the main frame 1.

[0034] Specifically, the heating element is a heating plate. The sides of the heating plate opposite to the slots 12 on the left and right sides of the main frame 1 are flat, which facilitates contact with the heat-conducting component 21 to conduct heat.

[0035] Specifically, the side bracket 2 has a through groove along its length, the heat-conducting component 21 includes a heat-conducting rod 211 and a connecting cap 212 with one end of the heat-conducting rod 211, the heat-conducting rod 211 passes through the through groove and its free end abuts against the heating element, the side bracket 2 has a threaded connecting sleeve 22 at the end away from the main frame 1, and the connecting cap 212 and the threaded connecting sleeve 22 are detachably connected by threads.

[0036] It should be noted that, in order to improve heat transfer between the heat-conducting rod 211 and the side support 2, the outer surface of the heat-conducting rod 211 is fitted to the side wall of the through groove. Additionally, the connecting cap 212 is made of heat-insulating wood and coated with anti-corrosion paint.

[0037] By using modular design, heat transfer efficiency is ensured while improving the flexibility of the overall structure.

[0038] In this embodiment, the U-shaped connector 11 is detachably provided with a baffle 3 for sealing the groove 12.

[0039] The baffle 3 includes an intermediate plate 31 and pre-tightening plates 32 floating at the upper and lower ends of the intermediate plate 31. After the baffle 3 is snapped onto the U-shaped connector 11, the intermediate plate 31 completely covers the slot 12. Specifically, a spring 33 is provided between the end faces of the pre-tightening plate 32 and the intermediate plate 31 that are close to each other.

[0040] By setting up pre-tightening plates 32 and springs 33, when the baffle 3 is inserted into the U-shaped connector 11, the two pre-tightening plates 32 respectively abut against the upper and lower side plates of the U-shaped connector 11. The middle plate 31 tightly and completely covers the slot 12, sealing the slot 12 where the side bracket 2 is not installed, thus preventing heat loss. Alternatively, the slot 12 can be left open to assist in heating the bathroom.

[0041] The front side of the intermediate plate 31 is equipped with a U-shaped handle 311. This facilitates the removal of the baffle 3, which is secured within the U-shaped connector 11. During installation, the two pre-tightening plates 32 are first squeezed by hand to compress the spring 33. This allows the baffle 3 to be inserted into the U-shaped connector 11. After being fully pushed into the U-shaped connector 11, the spring 33 remains compressed. Through the restoring force of the spring 33, the pre-tightening plate 32 is pressed tightly against the outside.

[0042] By replacing the baffle 3 and the side bracket 2, the arrangement of the side bracket 2 can be changed, thus achieving flexibility and customizability of the side bracket 2.

[0043] Based on the above description in this specification, those skilled in the art will also understand that the following terms used, such as "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "width," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," are terms indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings of this specification. They are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not explicitly or implicitly suggest that the device or element involved must have the specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms should not be understood or interpreted as limitations on the present invention.

[0044] In addition, in the description of this specification, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three or more, etc., unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.
