DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] In order to be closer to people's daily use habits, so that the plurality of hanging rods 6 after expansion are in the same horizontal plane, a hidden towel rack is designed, as shown in Figure 1 , which comprises a fixed plate 1, two outwardly reversible shielding plates 2 arranged on the fixed plate 1, and two limiting frames 3 rotatably connected on the fixed plate 1. The limiting frame 3 is located between the fixed plate 1 and the shielding plate 2, that is, the limiting frame 3 together with the hanging rod 6 thereon can be stored in the fixed plate 1 and the shielding plate 2.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1 and 2As shown, the core of the technical solution is that the rotation axis of the limiting frame 3 is arranged at an angle with the rotation axis of the shielding plate 2. When the shielding plates 2 on both sides of the fixed plate 1 and the limiting frame 3 are both unfolded outward, the upper surface of the limiting frame 3 is in a horizontal state, that is, the multiple hanging rods 6 on the upper surface of the limiting frame 3 are all in the same horizontal plane. The towels in the rear row are blocked by the towels in the front row. Compared with the towels arranged in a stepped manner, the towels are more neat and beautiful, and are also closer to people's daily use habits. When the limiting frame 3 is folded and attached to the fixed plate 1, the lower surface of the limiting frame 3 is in a horizontal state, that is, the multiple hanging rods 6 on the upper surface of the limiting frame 3 are arranged in order. The overall volume after folding can be smaller. The user can control the folding and unfolding of each hanging rod 6 by driving the limiting frame 3, and the use is very convenient. The shielding plate 2 can cover the hanging rods 6 and the limiting frame 3 in the folded state, avoiding the direct exposure of the hanging rods 6 and the limiting frame 3 in the folded state, reducing the erosion of water vapor on the hanging rods 6, prolonging the service life, and also making the towel rack more simple and beautiful after folding. Preferably, the angle between the rotation axis of the limiting frame 3 and the rotation axis of the shielding plate 2 is an acute angle, and the limiting frame 3 is hinged to the fixed plate 1.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1 The upper surface of the limiting frame 3 is uniformly provided with a positioning plate 4 folded towards the shielding plate 2, and a placing groove 5 for placing the hanging rod 6 is formed between adjacent positioning plates 4. The positioning plate 4 includes a connecting plate 41 and an L-shaped plate 42. The L-shaped plate 42 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the limiting frame 3 through the connecting plate 41. The opening of the L-shaped plate 42 faces the side of the fixed plate 1, and the hanging rod 6 is placed in the opening of the L-shaped plate 42. The opening width of the L-shaped plate 42 is between 1 times and 2 times the diameter of the hanging rod 6, so as to avoid the opening being too large to cause the hanging rod 6 to shake in the opening.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2 The fixed plate 1 includes a fixed sheet and a connecting sheet 11 connected to the top end and the bottom end of the fixed sheet. The shielding plate 2 includes a shielding sheet and a positioning sheet 21 connected to the top end and the bottom end of the shielding sheet. The connecting sheet 11 is connected to the inner side of each of the two positioning sheets 21. The cross-sectional shape of the fixed plate 1 and the shielding plate 2 is both in the shape of a n and the openings are oppositely arranged. The mutual attachment of the connecting sheet 11 and the positioning sheet 21 avoids the shielding plate 2 from shaking up and down relative to the fixed plate 1, so that the connection of the fixed plate 1 and the shielding plate 2 is more stable. The opening directions of the fixed plate 1 and the shielding plate 2 are opposite and form a space for accommodating the limiting frame 3 and the hanging rod 6. The shielding plate 2 covers the fixed plate 1. The shielding plate 2 covers the fixed plate 1, the limiting frame 3 and the hanging rod 6, further reducing the erosion of water vapor on the hanging rod 6 and prolonging the service life.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the end of the fixed plate 1 abuts against the shielding piece, the shielding plate 2 is unfolded to the limit state. The maximum unfolding angle of the shielding plate 2 is limited, the use is more labor-saving, and the shielding plate 2 is prevented from being unfolded too large to cause the side of the hanging rod 6 to be separated from the positioning plate 4. The maximum unfolding angle of the shielding plate 2 is 90°, and the lengths of the hanging rods 6 are equal, so that the capacity of each hanging rod 6 for suspending articles is the same.

[0027] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 As shown, the lower surface of the limiting frame 3 is provided with a bottom plate 31 bent towards the shielding plate 2, and the bottom plate 31 is arranged on the inner side of the connecting piece 11. The connection of the limiting frame 3 and the fixed plate 1 is more stable.

[0028] The fixed plate is also provided with blocking plates 12 on both sides, and when the limiting frame 3 is folded and attached to the fixed plate 1, the hanging rods 6 arranged in the placing groove 5 are located between the two blocking plates 12. The use of the hanging rods 6 is more stable, and the hanging rods 6 are prevented from being accidentally separated.

[0029] In order to further prevent the hanging rod 6 from being separated from the positioning plate 4, the hanging rod 6 comprises a hollow rod body and a plug 61 arranged at both ends of the hollow rod body, and the plug 61 comprises a fixed section and an end plate. The fixed section is arranged in the hollow rod body, and the end plate is arranged at the end of the hollow rod body. The diameter of the end plate is greater than the diameter of the hanging rod 6, and the end plate can abut against the outer side of the positioning plate 4.

[0030] When unfolded and used, first, the two shielding plates 2 are turned outward to a suitable position, then the limiting frame 3 is turned outward, the spacing of each hanging rod 6 is increased under the driving of the limiting frame 3, until the limiting frame 3 is perpendicular to the fixed plate 1, at this time, the towel rack is completely unfolded; when folded and stored, first, the two limiting frames 3 are turned inward until they are attached to the fixed plate 1, each hanging rod 6 is close to each other, until the hanging rod 6 is arranged between the positioning plate 4 and the limiting frame 3, and finally the shielding plate 2 is covered on the fixed plate 1.

[0031] The above description is only illustrative but not restrictive for the present application, and those skilled in the art understand that many modifications, changes or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims.
