Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of towel rack technology, specifically a folding electric heated towel rack. Background Technology

[0002] An electric towel rack is a bathroom appliance that uses electric energy to quickly dry, sterilize, and dehumidify towels. It typically consists of a metal frame, built-in heating elements, a temperature control system, and an insulating protective structure. Its working principle is to raise the temperature by heating the electric rod, accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the towel and inhibiting bacterial growth. However, during the towel heating process, there is a significant temperature difference between the part of the towel in contact with the electric rod and the non-contact suspended area. The heating speed is inconsistent between the area in contact with the electric rod and the non-contact suspended area, resulting in uneven drying of the towels. Bacteria can easily grow on the towels in the suspended area. Utility Model Content

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model provides a foldable electric towel rack, including a mounting frame 1, with lugs 101 fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting frame 1, a mounting shaft 202 rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 1, and an outer frame 2 rotatably connected to the end of the mounting shaft 202 away from the mounting frame 1. A hanging rack 201 is provided inside the outer frame 2, and a drying assembly 3 is provided inside the mounting frame 1. The drying assembly 3 includes a hot air blower 301, one end of which is mounted on the mounting frame 1. An air pipe 302 is welded to the side of the hot air blower 301 away from the mounting frame 1, and a drying pipe 303 is installed at one end of the air pipe 302. Hot air holes 304 are provided on the surface of the drying pipe 303, and hot air is directionally delivered to the hanging rack 201 through the hot air holes 304 in the drying assembly 3.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the two sides of the outer frame 2 are rotatably connected to a first folding rod 203 via a pivot A, the top of the first folding rod 203 is connected to a second folding rod 204 via a pivot B, and the top of the second folding rod 204 is rotatably connected to a mounting frame 1.

[0029] This allows the outer frame 2 and the internal hanging bracket 201 to be easily folded up, greatly saving space.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, a water collection block 102 is bolted to the bottom of the mounting frame 1, and a first circular hole 103 is provided at the top of the mounting frame 1.

[0031] The water collection block 102 can collect water dripping from towels, keeping the bathroom floor dry and clean.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the drying assembly 3 includes a quartz heating bulb 305, which is mounted on one side of the hot air blower 301 via a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0033] This allows for the directional delivery of hot air to quickly dry the towel, and the towel is heated by a quartz heating bulb 305, with a distance of at least 15 centimeters between the quartz heating bulb 305 and the towel.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a second round hole 205 is provided on one side of the first round hole 103, and second round holes 205 are provided on both sides of the outer frame 2. The second round hole 205 is connected to the internal thread of the first round hole 103 by a fixing bolt 104.

[0035] The outer frame 2 can be fixed by passing the fixing bolt 104 through the first round hole 103 and the second round hole 205 to ensure the stability of the outer frame 2 in the storage state and prevent accidental unfolding.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, there are two sets of drying tubes 303, and the two sets of drying tubes 303 are of the same specification. The two sets of drying tubes 303 are symmetrically arranged at one end of the hot air blower 301.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, four hangers 201 are arranged horizontally, with a spacing of 100-150mm between adjacent hangers 201, and both ends are connected to the outer frame 2 by snap-fit ​​connectors.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the quartz heating bulb 305 is provided with an arc-shaped quartz glass with a thickness of 1.2 mm on the outside.

[0039] The curved quartz glass protects the quartz heating bulb 305 from external impacts and moisture.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When fixing, the mounting frame 1 is placed in a preset position, and expansion screws are used to pass through the brackets 101 to install it on the wall. When it is necessary to retract the hanging rack 201, hold one end of the outer frame 2 and fold the outer frame 2 upward with the mounting shaft 202 as the axis. At this time, the angle between the first folding rod 203 and the second folding rod 204 changes and retracts into the mounting frame 1. Then, the fixing bolt 104 is passed through the first round hole 103 and the second round hole 205 to complete the fixing of the outer frame 2, thereby achieving the purpose of storage. This does not occupy extra space, making the bathroom space look neater and more orderly. In order to dry the towels quickly, the hot air blower 301 is turned on to start working. The hot air blower 301 generates hot air and delivers it to the drying tube 303 through the air pipe 302. The hot air holes 304 on the surface of the drying tube 303 direct the hot air to the hanging rack 201 to ensure that all parts of the towel are heated evenly and dried quickly. At the same time, the quartz heating bulb 305 emits heat to ensure that each towel is dried quickly and thoroughly.
