Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of towel rack technology, specifically relating to a foldable towel rack with adjustable length. Background Technology

[0002] Folding towel racks are ingeniously designed, space-saving bathroom hardware accessories widely used in modern homes, including bathrooms, kitchens, and balconies. Their folding design significantly reduces floor space, making them especially suitable for homes with limited space. When not in use, they can be folded up and placed against the wall, taking up no extra space. Folding towel racks can not only hang towels but also clothes, bath towels, and other items, meeting diverse user needs.

[0003] The existing towel racks have the following problems during use:

[0004] Towel racks typically have a fixed width, a design limitation that restricts the number of towels that can be hung. Because of the fixed width, the space a towel rack can provide is also relatively fixed, and cannot be flexibly adjusted to meet actual needs. This means that if there are many family members or a large variety and number of towels to hang, a traditional fixed-width towel rack may be insufficient and unable to meet all towel hanging requirements. Utility Model Content

[0005] (1) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable towel rack with adjustable length. This towel rack aims to solve the problem that existing towel racks typically have a fixed width, a design limitation that restricts the number of towels that can be hung. Because the width is fixed, the space provided by the towel rack is also relatively fixed, and it cannot be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. This means that if there are many family members or a large variety and quantity of towels to hang, traditional fixed-width towel racks may be insufficient, failing to meet the hanging needs of all towels.

[0007] (2) Technical solution

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a length-adjustable folding towel rack, which includes a mounting base, a pivot, an extension arm, a drying rod, and a drying rack. The pivot is connected to the side surface of the mounting base, the extension arm is connected inside the pivot, the drying rod is connected through the side surface of the extension arm, and the drying rack is connected to the side surface of the mounting base. A positioning hole is opened on the bottom side of the drying rod, an extension rod is inserted into the drying rod, a guide groove is opened on the side surface of the extension rod, a guide rail is connected to the inner wall of the drying rod near the guide groove, a first spring strip is connected inside the extension rod, and a positioning block is connected to the end of the first spring strip.

[0009] When using the towel rack of this technical solution, firstly, the positioning block is squeezed upward and the first spring bar is compressed. Then, the extension rod can be pulled away from the drying rod. When the extension rod drives the positioning block to move to the upper side of another positioning hole, the first spring bar can squeeze the positioning block to move into the positioning hole through its own elasticity. This can fix the position of the extension rod, thereby extending the length of the drying rod.

[0010] Preferably, the guide groove and the guide rail are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the extension rod. The extension rod is slidably connected to the guide rail through the guide groove. When the extension rod is subjected to tension, it can drive the guide groove to slide on the surface of the guide rail. This can limit the movement direction of the extension rod and prevent the extension rod from shifting when it moves outward inside the drying rod, which would prevent the positioning block from engaging with other positioning holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the positioning block and the first spring strip form an elastic telescopic structure. When the positioning block is squeezed and moves upward, it can compress the first spring strip, and then pull the extension rod to move laterally. When the extension rod drives the positioning block to move to the upper side of another positioning hole, the first spring strip can squeeze the positioning block into the interior of the positioning hole through its own elastic force, thereby achieving the fixation of the extension rod after extension.

[0012] Furthermore, a water collection trough is provided on the bottom side of the drying rack, and a positioning post is connected to the inner wall of the water collection trough. A positioning groove is opened on the bottom side of the drying rack near the positioning post. A side ear is connected to the side surface of the water collection trough, and a guide rod passes through the side surface of the side ear. An insert is connected to the end of the guide rod, and a second spring strip is connected between the insert and the side ear. The second spring strip is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod, and a fixing groove is opened on the side surface of the drying rack near the insert.

[0013] Furthermore, the positioning columns and positioning grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water collection tank. The drying rack is slidably connected to the positioning columns through the positioning grooves. The drying rack can drive the positioning columns to slide inside the positioning grooves, which can restrict the movement direction of the drying rack.

[0014] Furthermore, the guide rod and the side ear are slidably connected, and the insert block and the second spring strip form an elastic telescopic structure. When the insert block is squeezed, it can drive the guide rod to move laterally inside the side ear and compress the second spring strip. After the squeezing force disappears, the second spring strip can reset itself by squeezing the insert block with its own elastic force.

[0015] (3) Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, the positioning block is first squeezed upward and the first spring bar is compressed. Then the extension rod can be pulled away from the drying rod. When the extension rod drives the positioning block to move to the upper side of the other positioning hole, the first spring bar can squeeze the positioning block to move into the positioning hole through its own elasticity. This can fix the position of the extension rod, so that the length of the drying rod can be extended by the extension rod. This allows the length of the drying rod to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, when the water collection trough moves the inclined surface of the insertion block upward to the bottom side of the drying rack, the insertion block is squeezed and moves laterally, compressing the second spring strip. When the water collection trough moves the insertion block to one side of the fixed groove, the second spring strip squeezes the insertion block into the fixed groove through its own elasticity. In this way, the water collection trough can be fixedly installed by inserting the insertion block into the fixed groove. In this way, the water droplets falling from the towels drying on the surface of the drying rack can fall into the water collection trough, avoiding the risk of slipping caused by water droplets accumulating on the bathroom floor.

[0028] This specific embodiment is a foldable towel rack with adjustable length, and its structural diagram is shown below. Figure 1-8 As shown, the towel rack includes a mounting base 1, a rotating shaft 2, an extension arm 3, a drying rod 4, and a drying rack 5. The rotating shaft 2 is connected to the side surface of the mounting base 1, the extension arm 3 is connected inside the rotating shaft 2, the drying rod 4 is connected through the side surface of the extension arm 3, and the drying rack 5 is connected to the side surface of the mounting base 1. A positioning hole 6 is opened on the bottom side of the drying rod 4, an extension rod 7 is inserted into the inside of the drying rod 4, a guide groove 8 is opened on the side surface of the extension rod 7, a guide rail 9 is connected to the inner wall of the drying rod 4 near the guide groove 8, a first spring strip 10 is connected inside the extension rod 7, and a positioning block 11 is connected to the end of the first spring strip 10.

[0029] The guide groove 8 and the guide rail 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the extension rod 7. The extension rod 7 is slidably connected to the guide rail 9 through the guide groove 8. The positioning block 11 and the first spring strip 10 form an elastic telescopic structure.

[0030] In addition, a water collection trough 12 is provided on the bottom side of the drying rack 5, and a positioning post 13 is connected to the inner wall of the water collection trough 12. A positioning groove 14 is opened on the bottom side of the drying rack 5 near the positioning post 13. A side ear 15 is connected to the side surface of the water collection trough 12, and a guide rod 16 passes through the side surface of the side ear 15. An insert block 17 is connected to the end of the guide rod 16. A second spring strip 18 is connected between the insert block 17 and the side ear 15. The second spring strip 18 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 16. A fixing groove 19 is opened on the side surface of the drying rack 5 near the insert block 17. The positioning post 13 and the positioning groove 14 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water collection trough 12. The drying rack 5 is slidably connected to the positioning post 13 through the positioning groove 14. The guide rod 16 and the side ear 15 are slidably connected. The insert block 17 and the second spring strip 18 form an elastic telescopic structure.

[0031] Working principle: When the length of the towel needs to be adjusted using the device of this technical solution, the positioning block 11 can be pressed upward first. The positioning block 11 can move upward and compress the first spring strip 10 when it is pressed. Then the extension rod 7 can be pulled away from the drying rod 4. When the extension rod 7 moves the positioning block 11 to the upper side of the other positioning hole 6, the first spring strip 10 can press the positioning block 11 into the interior of the positioning hole 6 through its own elasticity. This can fix the position of the extension rod 7, thereby extending the length of the drying rod 4 through the extension rod 7.

[0032] First, the water collection tank 12, through the side lug 15 and guide rod 16, moves the inclined surface of the insertion block 17 upward to the bottom side of the drying rack 5. At this time, the insertion block 17 is compressed, which can drive the guide rod 16 to move laterally inside the side lug 15 and compress the second spring strip 18. The water collection tank 12 continues to move upward, which can drive the positioning post 13 to insert into the positioning groove 14. When the water collection tank 12 moves the insertion block 17 to one side of the fixing groove 19, the second spring strip 18 can use its own elasticity to squeeze the insertion block 17 to reset. In this way, the insertion block 17 and the... The insertion of the fixing groove 19 enables the fixed installation of the water collection tank 12. This allows water droplets falling from the towels drying on the surface of the drying rack 5 to fall into the water collection tank 12, preventing water droplets from accumulating on the bathroom floor and causing the risk of slipping. When there is too much water inside the water collection tank 12, the guide rod 16 can be pulled. The guide rod 16, under tension, can drive the insert block 17 to move away from the fixing groove 19. When the insert block 17 moves to the outside of the fixing groove 19, the water collection tank 12 can be pulled down and removed, thereby allowing the water inside the water collection tank 12 to be poured out.

[0033] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0034] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
