Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of towel machine technology, specifically a magnetic towel bucket. Background Technology
[0002] Non-woven fabric is a new type of fiber product with a soft, breathable and planar structure. It does not produce fiber lint, is strong, durable, and silky soft. It is also a type of reinforcing material and has a cotton-like feel. Compared with cotton fabrics, non-woven fabric is easier to shape. Therefore, it can be used to make compressed towels in the existing technology. Compressed towels are small in size and easy to carry when traveling.
[0003] Some travelers may not like using the towels provided in hotels. To improve the user experience, some hotels place towel dispensers in the rooms, which contain many compressed towels. Before using the compressed towels, they are heated and softened, making it easy for users to unfold them.
[0004] The towel machine contains a towel drum specifically for storing compressed towels, as described in the publicly available technical document "CN222398137U, Easy-to-fill towel drum and towel machine". This increases the convenience of loading compressed dry towels and prevents the compressed dry towels from tilting to the side, thus avoiding empty pushing and towel jamming during the towel making process. However, its structure contains a large number of springs, some of which are located on the outside of the towel drum. Since there is moisture in the towel machine, these spring components may be corroded. Moreover, due to the large number of parts, the production process is also very complicated.

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 1-4 ;
[0024] The towel bucket described in this utility model is used in a towel machine to simplify its structure and make production more convenient. It should be noted that because the structure of the towel bucket differs from existing technologies, the structure of the towel machine will also be adjusted accordingly. Therefore, the structure of the towel machine will not be described here. The towel bucket includes a cylindrical body 11. In this embodiment, the cylindrical body 11 can be arbitrary, such as a cuboid, cylinder, etc. The cylindrical body 11 has channels 12 for placing several compressed towels, and has an inlet end 13 and an outlet end 14. The diameter of the channel is slightly larger than that of the compressed towels. The diameter of the compressed towels is such that, since the humidification position of the compressed towels is different from the storage position, it will not affect the compressed towels in the towel bucket. Therefore, the compressed towels in the towel bucket are still in block shape and have a relatively smooth surface, with less chance of getting stuck during the fall. An end cap 3 is provided at the inlet end 13. Near the outlet end 14, several claws 2 are rotatably connected to the outside of the cylinder 11. The claws 2 are evenly distributed and are fixed to the cylinder 11 by magnetic attraction. A support part 21 is provided at the lower end of the claws 2, and the support part 21 extends horizontally inward to the outlet end 14.
[0025] When compressed towels need to be placed into the towel bucket, the end cap 3 is opened to expose the inlet end 13. At the same time, the magnetic attraction causes several claws 2 to adhere tightly to the side of the cylinder 11, making the support part 21 protrude from the outlet end 14. Then, several compressed towels are placed into the placement channel 12 in sequence. It is also necessary to check whether the compressed towels are flat in the placement channel 12. Under the obstruction of the support part 21, the compressed towels cannot fall from the outlet end 14. Then, the end cap 3 is closed, and finally the towel bucket is inserted into the towel machine. The towel machine described in this utility model will make corresponding structural adjustments so that after the towel bucket is inserted into the towel machine, several claws 2 open, so that the outlet end 14 is unobstructed. The compressed towel at the bottom will fall into the groove of the dial. The dial rotates to humidify the compressed towel and at the same time seal the outlet end 14. After the dial is reset, the next compressed towel falls into the groove by gravity.
[0026] When it is time to add compressed towels again, pull the towel bucket out of the towel machine longitudinally. Under the action of gravity, several claws 2 rotate back to their original position and are fixed to the towel bucket again by magnetic attraction.
[0027] The towel bucket in this invention is no different from the existing technology in its use, but the overall structure of the towel bucket is simplified by using magnetic attraction, the number of parts used is greatly reduced, the assembly process is also simple and easy, and it can save manufacturing costs and production time.
[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, the side wall of the cylinder 11 is provided with a plurality of connecting blocks 15. The connecting blocks 15 are provided with a hinge part 17 and a fixing position 16 for fixing the magnet. The claw 2 is L-shaped. The cylinder 11, the connecting blocks 15, the hinge part and the fixing position 16 are integrally injection molded. The connecting blocks 15 protrude from the side wall of the cylinder 11, so that there is a partial hollow between the claw 2 and the side wall of the cylinder 11, which is not compact enough. Therefore, the claw 2 is provided with a hinge part 22 and a clearance position 23. The clearance position 23 corresponds to the connecting block 15, and a magnet fixing position 24 is provided in the clearance position 23. The hinge part 17 and the hinge part 22 are rotatably connected. That is, the claw 2 forms a step-like structure near the side wall of the cylinder 11, so that it can adapt to the difference in height between the cylinder 11 and the connecting blocks 15, making the structure more compact.
[0029] Preferably, the inside of the claw 2 is hollow, which can reduce the overall weight and save raw materials, thereby further reducing costs.
[0030] Furthermore, several supporting parts 21 have downward inclined surfaces 25 on opposite sides, and a conical structure is provided at the position where the towel machine inserts the towel bucket. When the towel bucket is inserted, the jaws 2 can be easily rotated and opened by the conical structure in conjunction with the inclined surface 25, so that the outlet end 14 is unobstructed. When the towel bucket is pulled out of the towel machine, the inclined surface 25 separates from the conical structure, and several jaws 2 rotate and reset under the action of gravity, and are fixed by magnetic attraction.
[0031] Preferably, the inclined surface 25 has an arc, and the end of the support portion 21 extending to the outlet end 14 is provided with an arc notch 26, which can better adapt to the conical structure.
[0032] 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.
[0033] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. 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 embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
