[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0030] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0031] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a dual-axis positioning structure includes an X-axis guide rail 1 and a longitudinal beam 2. The two X-axis guide rails 1 are arranged parallel to each other in the same vertical plane. The two longitudinal beams 2 are slidably arranged on the two X-axis guide rails 1. A T-shaped groove 3 is formed on the side of the longitudinal beam 2 away from the X-axis guide rail 1, which is arranged along the length direction of the longitudinal beam 2. A sliding plate 4 is slidably arranged in the T-shaped groove 3. A connecting column 5 is fixedly arranged on the side of the sliding plate 4 away from the X-axis guide rail 1.

[0032] Furthermore, two X-axis guide rails 1 are arranged in parallel, and grooves 6 are respectively opened on the opposite sides of the two X-axis guide rails 1. Sliding sliders 7 are slidably arranged in the grooves 6, and the sliding sliders 7 are connected to the back of the longitudinal beam 2.

[0033] Furthermore, two connecting columns 5 are symmetrically arranged along the length of the slide plate 4.

[0034] Furthermore, a drive motor 8 is fixedly installed at one end of the slide groove 6 of an X-axis guide rail 1, and a screw 9 is fixedly installed on the power output shaft of the drive motor 8. A threaded hole 10 is opened on the slider 7 on the longitudinal beam 2 near the drive motor 8 at the position opposite to the screw 9, and the screw 9 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 10.

[0035] A through hole is made on the slider 7 on the longitudinal beam 2 away from the drive motor 8 at a position corresponding to the threaded hole 10. The diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the threaded hole 10.

[0036] Furthermore, a lifting motor 11 is installed at the top of the longitudinal beam 2, and a lead screw 12 is fixedly installed on the power output shaft of the lifting motor 11. A through hole 13 is opened at the position opposite to the lead screw 12 on the upper end face of the slide plate 4. The lead screw 12 is inserted into the through hole 13. A nut 14 is fixedly installed at the top of the slide plate 4, and the nut 14 is connected to the lead screw 12.

[0037] Furthermore, the skateboard 4 and the connecting column 5 are integrally formed.

[0038] Furthermore, the X-axis guide rail 1, longitudinal beam 2, and slide plate 4 are made of stainless steel.

[0039] A towel rack includes the dual-axis positioning structure and towel rack body described in the above technical solution, wherein the towel rack body 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 5.

[0040] Furthermore, the towel rack body 15 includes two parallel side frames 16, which are inverted L-shaped, and the back of the vertical bar 17 of the side frame 16 is fixedly connected to the connecting post 5.

[0041] Furthermore, multiple horizontal bars 19 are fixedly installed between the vertical bars 17 and the horizontal bars 18 of the two frame 16. The horizontal bars 19 between the vertical bars 17 are arranged in an array along the vertical direction, and the horizontal bars 19 between the horizontal bars 18 are arranged in an array along the water surface direction. The spacing of the horizontal bars 19 on the vertical bars 17 is greater than the spacing of the horizontal bars 19 on the horizontal bars 18.

[0042] The working principle of the above technical solution:

[0043] To improve the storage capacity and stability of towel racks when drying towels, some existing towel racks are designed to be horizontal, while others combine horizontal shelves with vertical towel racks. When the towel rack is horizontal, it takes up bathroom space. If the position of the towel rack cannot be adjusted, it not only occupies bathroom space and causes inconvenience, but also causes collisions with other towel racks. To overcome these problems, a dual-axis positioning structure is fixed to the wall to adjust the position of the towel rack. When the towel rack is not in use or when towels are drying, it can be raised to a position close to the bathroom ceiling, saving bathroom space and preventing collisions with other towel racks.

[0044] Two horizontally positioned X-axis guide rails 1 are fixedly installed on the wall near the ceiling. Slide grooves 6 are formed on the opposite sides of the two X-axis guide rails 1. The slide grooves 6 can be, for example... Figure 1 The shape shown can be either through the rear wall of the X-axis guide rail 1 or not through the rear wall of the X-axis guide rail 1, depending on the positioning requirements. Slider 7 is slidably installed in the groove 6. There are two sets of slider 7, with each set of sliders corresponding to the grooves of the two X-axis guide rails 1. Each set of slider 7 corresponds to a longitudinal beam 2. The two sliders 7 in the same set are fixedly connected to the back of a longitudinal beam 2. The slider 7 is located on the longitudinal beam near the upper part. The distance between the two sliders 7 is the same as the distance between the grooves 6 on the two X-axis guide rails 1. The two X-axis guide rails 1 can be fixedly connected to form a frame structure by two connecting plates 20 to improve the stability of the X-axis guide rails 1. Mounting holes are opened on the connecting plates 20, and expansion bolts can be used to fix the connecting plates 20 to the wall, thereby using a dual-axis positioning structure to fix it to the wall.

[0045] The dual-axis positioning structure positions the longitudinal beam 2 in the horizontal direction through the X-axis guide rail 1, and positions the slide plate 4 in the vertical direction through the longitudinal beam 2, thereby positioning and fixing the towel rack body 15 on the slide plate 4. During installation, the towel rack body 15 can be welded to the connecting column 5 first, and after the towel rack body 15 is fixed to the two slide plates 4, the slide plate 4 can be inserted into the T-slot 3 of the longitudinal beam 2 from the bottom.

[0046] The horizontal position of the longitudinal beam 2 can be adjusted by the drive motor 8 located at one end of the slide 6. When adjustment is needed, the drive motor 8 is started, and the screw 9 of the drive motor 8 rotates. The screw 9 drives the slider 7 on the longitudinal beam 2 near the drive motor 8 to move through the engagement with the threaded hole 10. In order to prevent the slider 7 at the same position on another longitudinal beam 2 from interfering with the screw, a through hole is opened at the position opposite to the threaded hole 10 so that the screw 9 can pass through the middle. The diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the threaded hole to prevent interference with the screw 9.

[0047] The back of the dual-axis positioning structure and the towel rack refers to the side opposite the wall.

[0048] The height of the towel rack body 15 is adjusted by the lifting motor 11 set at the top of the longitudinal beam 2. The rotation of the lifting motor 11 drives the lead screw 12 to rotate, and the lead screw 12 drives the slide plate 4 to move through the nut 14.

[0049] Both drive motor 8 and lifting motor 11 are bidirectional motors, which can be adjusted in both directions when rotating forward and backward.

[0050] The integral molding of the skateboard 4 and the connecting post 5 improves the strength of the connection between the connecting post and the skateboard. In order to improve the connection strength between the connecting post 5 and the skateboard 4, reinforcing ribs can also be set on the upper and lower sides of the connecting post 5.

[0051] The X-axis guide rail 1, longitudinal beam 2, and slide plate 4 are made of stainless steel to prevent them from rusting in the bathroom. The towel rack body 15 can also be made of stainless steel. To reduce the weight of the towel rack body 15, it can be made into a tubular shape.

[0052] The towel rack body 15 includes two parallel frame frames 16. The frame frames 16 include vertical bars 17 and horizontal bars 18 that are perpendicular to each other. The plane on which the frame frames 16 are located is a vertical plane and perpendicular to the wall. A crossbar 19 is provided between the two vertical bars 17 and the two horizontal bars 18. The spacing between the crossbars on the horizontal bars 18 is small, which is suitable for placing folded towels or other items.

[0053] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0054] The present invention relates to a dual-axis positioning structure and a towel rack. The towel rack body is mounted on the dual-axis positioning structure. The longitudinal beam of the dual-axis positioning structure can move horizontally along the X-axis guide rail. The sliding plate that fixes the towel rack body can move vertically in the T-slot of the longitudinal beam. When in use, the towel rack body can be adjusted to a suitable position. When not in use, the towel rack body can be raised to a position close to the ceiling of the bathroom to save space and prevent collisions with other towel racks.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the crossbar 19 of the towel rack body 15 includes an outer tube 21 and an inner tube 22. The inner tube 22 is slidably disposed inside the outer tube 21. The outer tube 21 is fixedly connected to one frame 16, and the inner tube 22 is fixedly connected to another frame 16. A sealing ring is provided at the end of the outer tube 21 near the inner tube.

[0056] The working principle of the above technical solution:

[0057] The width of towel racks is fixed and cannot accommodate different towels. Therefore, the width of the towel rack body 15 can be made adjustable. The crossbar 19 of the towel rack body 15 can be configured to include an outer tube 21 and an inner tube 22. When the width of the towel rack body 15 needs to be adjusted, the length of the inner tube 22 entering the outer tube 21 can be adjusted. The sealing between the two interlocking tubes is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] To facilitate adjustment of the width of the towel rack body 15, a drive cylinder can be installed between the two longitudinal beams 2. The drive cylinder is fixed to the side wall of one longitudinal beam 2, and its piston rod is fixed to the side wall of the other longitudinal beam 2. The side walls for fixing the drive cylinder and piston rod are the opposite side walls of the two longitudinal beams 2. The retraction or extension of the piston rod adjusts the distance between the two longitudinal beams, thereby moving the longitudinal rod 17 via the slide plate 4 to adjust the width of the towel rack body 15. The drive cylinder can be an electric cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or pneumatic cylinder. The installation position of the drive cylinder can be determined as needed. For aesthetic purposes, the drive cylinder can also be installed between two sliders without screws, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it can be installed between two sliders on the X-axis guide rail below. The drive cylinder is blocked by the X-axis guide rail, so it does not affect the appearance of the towel.
