Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Towel racks are a common household item. Conventional towel racks are fixed and lack a folding function; they are typically mounted on a wall and cannot be moved. However, towel racks used in certain industries need to be portable enough to be moved outdoors or to other locations for displaying or drying towels. When not in use, storage is an important consideration, hence the development of folding towel racks.

[0003] The foldable towel rack is mainly composed of a fixed frame and a movable frame connected to each other. The movable frame can be folded relative to the fixed frame to change the overall shape of the towel rack. When the movable frame is open, the user hangs towels. When the movable frame is folded up, the size of the towel rack is reduced for easy storage.

[0004] Utility model patent CN 217592676 U discloses a movable flip-up towel rack. Based on its structure, it is primarily fixed to the wall, but its flip-up structure is of interest to those skilled in the art. However, this flip-up structure intrudes into the area where towels are hung, particularly occupying the rack's crossbar. Applying this structure to a flip-up towel rack would reduce the amount of towels that can be hung. Furthermore, the intrusion into the towel hanging area can easily damage the towel surface. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a foldable towel rack that solves the technical problem that the folding structure of traditional foldable towel racks intrudes into the towel hanging area, resulting in a reduction in the amount of towels that can be hung and easy damage to the surface of the towels.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a foldable towel rack, including a fixed frame and a movable frame. The fixed frame includes two support rods, each connected to a connector. A sliding groove is symmetrically provided on the facing or back surfaces of the two connectors. The extension direction of the sliding groove is perpendicular to the axis of the support rod or at an angle greater than 45°. A crossbar is also connected between the two support rods, located at one end of the sliding groove. One end of the movable frame is connected to two sliding plugs corresponding to the connectors. Each sliding plug is provided with a sliding pin that slides into the corresponding sliding groove of the connector. The sliding pin slides into the corresponding sliding groove. The end of each sliding plug away from the movable frame is also connected to an upward-opening hook. When the sliding pin slides along the sliding groove toward the crossbar, the hook slides below the crossbar and hooks the crossbar upward, keeping the movable frame in a flipped state. When the sliding pin slides along the sliding groove away from the crossbar, the hook slides away from the crossbar, and the movable frame naturally swings down and hangs on the two connectors.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the connector has a socket hole for attaching the support rod, and also has an insertion hole perpendicular to the socket hole. The insertion hole is used to insert the crossbar. The insertion hole and the sliding groove are located on the same side of the connector, respectively, on both sides of the socket hole.

[0008] As a preferred option, the two slides are arranged facing each other.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the movable frame includes a U-shaped main rod and multiple hanging rods connected between the U-shaped main rod, with two sliding connectors respectively connected to both ends of the U-shaped main rod, and two sliding pins disposed separately.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By connecting a sliding connector to the movable frame and positioning the hook on the sliding connector at the end away from the movable frame, and simultaneously setting a crossbar between the two support rods and connecting the crossbar to the two connectors, when the hook engages the crossbar to keep the movable frame in a flipped-up state, the hook is away from the towel hanging area, and each hanging rod on the movable frame can hang a towel, making full use of the movable frame and preventing the towel surface from being damaged by the hook or connector. This overcomes the defects of existing folding structures. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The specific implementation scheme of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1 The foldable towel rack shown includes a fixed frame 1 and a movable frame 2. The fixed frame 1 includes two support rods 1a, each connected to a connector 3. A sliding groove 4 is symmetrically formed on the facing surfaces of the two connectors 3, extending perpendicularly to the axial direction of the support rods 1a. A crossbar 5 is also connected between the two support rods 1a, located at one end of the sliding groove 4. One end of the movable frame 2 is connected to two sliding connectors 6, each corresponding to one of the connectors 3. Each sliding connector 6... The upper part is provided with a sliding pin 7 that slides in conjunction with the sliding groove 4 on the corresponding connector 3. The sliding pin 7 is slidably inserted into the corresponding sliding groove 4. The end of any sliding connector 6 away from the movable frame 2 is also connected to an upward-opening hook 8. When the sliding pin 7 slides along the sliding groove 4 toward the crossbar 5, the hook 8 slides to the bottom of the crossbar 5 and hooks the crossbar 5 upward, keeping the movable frame 2 in a flipped state. After the sliding pin 7 slides along the sliding groove 4 away from the crossbar 5 and the hook 8 slides away from the crossbar 5, the movable frame 2 naturally swings down and hangs on the two connectors 3.

[0017] The structure of the fixing frame 1 is not fixed. It can be a cuboid frame structure, a conical frame structure or other frame structures, but it must have two support rods 1a. The two support rods 1a can be set vertically or vertically inclined.

[0018] In practical applications, the two grooves 4 can be opened on the opposite sides of the two connecting parts 3, and the extension direction of the grooves 4 can also be at an angle greater than 45° with the axial direction of the support rod 1a.

[0019] A sliding connector 6 is connected to the movable frame 2, and the hook 8 on the sliding connector 6 is positioned at the end away from the movable frame 2. Simultaneously, a crossbar 5 is installed between the two support rods 1a. Thus, when the hook 8 hooks the crossbar 5, keeping the movable frame 2 in a flipped-up state, the hook 8 is away from the towel hanging area, and each hanging rod 2b on the movable frame 2 can hang a towel, making full use of the movable frame 2 and preventing damage to the towel surface from the hook 8 or the connector 3. This overcomes the defects of existing folding structures.

[0020] In this embodiment, the connector 3 is provided with a socket hole 9 for attaching the support rod 1a. The connector 3 is also provided with an insertion hole 10 perpendicular to the socket hole 9. The insertion hole 10 is used to insert the crossbar 5. The insertion hole 10 and the slide groove 4 are respectively located on both sides of the socket hole 9 and on the same side of the connector 3, so that the crossbar 5 is away from the area where the towel is suspended on the movable frame 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, the connector 3 has a stable structure, which facilitates the connection between the support rod 1a and the crossbar 5, and can improve the overall structural stability of the fixing frame 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, the two sliding grooves 4 are arranged facing each other, so that the connector 3 is on the outside of the sliding connector 6, while the towel is suspended on the inside of the movable rack 2. This effectively avoids damage to the towel surface caused by contact with the connector 3.

[0023] The movable frame 2 includes a U-shaped main rod 2a and multiple hanging rods 2b connected between the U-shaped main rod 2a. Two sliding connectors 6 are respectively connected to the two ends of the U-shaped main rod 2a, and two sliding pins 7 are set apart. The hanging rods 2b are used to hang towels. There is a certain distance between the hanging rods 2b and the sliding connectors 6, and they are far away from the hooks 8. Therefore, all hanging rods 2b can be used to hang towels.

[0024] The working process of this utility model is as follows: when the foldable towel rack is in the position... Figure 1 When shown, the towel rack is in its working state. At this time, the movable rack 2 remains flipped up, and the user can hang towels on the hanging rod 2b on the movable rack 2. When the foldable towel rack needs to be stored, simply flip the movable rack 2 further up, causing the hook 8 to disengage from the crossbar 5. Then pull the movable rack 2 away from the crossbar 5, and the sliding pin 7 will slide along the groove 4 away from the crossbar 5, moving the hook 8 to one side of the crossbar 5. Then lower the movable rack 2, which will then swing downwards to a natural hanging state, reducing the overall size of the foldable towel rack for easy storage. To flip the movable rack 2 back up, simply reverse the operation.

[0025] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, as well as some examples of its application, and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
