Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a bathroom product, and more particularly to a wiring structure for an electric towel rack. Background Technology

[0002] Towel racks are primarily used in bathrooms and toilets, and are composed of plastic and metal components to hang towels, bath towels, and other items. Currently, towel racks fixed in bathrooms and similar locations often fail to dry properly due to ventilation or sunlight issues. Therefore, electric heated towel racks capable of drying towels have emerged on the market. Existing electric heated towel racks contain heating elements to heat the rack body. As shown in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN202322320903.5 (Authorization Announcement No. CN220695126U), this electric heated towel rack includes a main rod with at least one heating hanging rod arranged axially along the main rod. The heating hanging rod has an electric heating element, and a wire fixing component is provided near the main rod. The wire fixing component includes a plug connected to the end of the heating hanging rod, with a groove for embedding a wire on the plug. The plug has a through hole connecting the groove and the heating hanging rod, and the wire passes through the through hole and connects to the electric heating element.

[0003] While the aforementioned electric towel rack utilizes a wiring harness to route the wires and connect them to the heating element, the harness's plug is fitted onto the end of the hanging rod, which has a screw hole for securing the plug. However, due to the small size of the electric towel rack, fixing the wiring harness with screws or bolts is inconvenient for manufacturers, affecting the installation effect. Furthermore, existing wiring harnesses are often made of aluminum profiles, while the heating element is a heating wire; aluminum profiles can easily damage the heating wire, affecting its performance. Therefore, further improvements to the wiring structure of the electric towel rack are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a wiring structure that is easy to install and does not easily damage the heating wire, in view of the above-mentioned existing technology, and this wiring structure is applied to electric towel racks.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: The wiring structure of the electric towel rack includes a wiring component installed at the connection between the vertical rod and the horizontal tube. The wiring component is inserted into the opening end of the horizontal tube. The wiring component has two oppositely arranged and outwardly extending elastic feet and a wiring hole. The side opening of the vertical rod has two opposite walls with vertically extending strip-shaped protrusions. The wiring component is inserted into the opening end of the horizontal tube from the side opening. The elastic feet deform under external force and are installed between the two strip-shaped protrusions. When the elastic feet return to their natural state, they can abut against the strip-shaped protrusions, so that the wiring hole connects the space inside the vertical rod with the space inside the horizontal tube.

[0006] Furthermore, the wiring component includes a plug that can be inserted into the horizontal tube, and a wiring hole is provided on the plug, which allows the heating wire to pass into or out of the horizontal tube. The plug enables the wiring hole on it to be installed in place, thus ensuring communication between the space inside the vertical rod and the space inside the horizontal tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the wiring component also includes a limiting plate located above the plug body. The limiting plate is larger than the inner diameter of the horizontal tube. Elastic feet are disposed on both sides of the limiting plate, and wiring holes are provided through the limiting plate and the plug body. The limiting plate can be locked outside the horizontal tube, allowing the plug body to be completely inserted into the horizontal tube. The elastic feet prevent the plug body from entering the horizontal tube and ensure proper installation within the vertical rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting plate is provided with two opposing locking members, each a reverse L-shaped protrusion, forming a wiring groove for securing the heating wire or conductor. A certain distance is maintained between the two locking members so that the heating wire or conductor can be inserted into the wiring groove, the groove's direction being consistent with the length direction of the vertical rod.

[0009] Furthermore, there are three wiring holes. One end of each wiring hole communicates with the space inside the vertical rod, and the other end of each wiring hole communicates with the corresponding space inside the horizontal tube. Each wiring hole allows a corresponding wire to pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, the elastic foot is a plate that slopes outward from bottom to top, and the elastic foot can retract inward under the action of external force. This inclined plate can deform inward under external force, and automatically expand outward to return to its original position when no external force is applied.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the wiring component of the electric towel rack is a one-piece molded plastic part, which is less likely to damage the heating wire, thus protecting the heating wire; and the wiring component can be installed at the connection between the vertical rod and the horizontal tube using elastic feet. That is, the elastic feet deform under the action of external force and can be installed between the two strip-shaped protrusions of the vertical rod. When the elastic feet are fully inserted between the two strip-shaped protrusions, the manufacturer releases the hand, and the elastic feet return to their natural state, so that the elastic feet abut against the strip-shaped protrusions. At this time, the wiring hole connects the space inside the vertical rod with the space inside the horizontal tube, thus completing the installation of the elastic feet. Therefore, the installation of the elastic feet is more convenient and easier to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0017] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the wiring structure of the electric towel rack in this embodiment includes a wiring component 3 installed at the connection between the vertical rod 1 and the horizontal tube 2. The wiring component 3 is inserted into the opening of the horizontal tube 2. The wiring component 3 is an integrally molded plastic part. The wiring component 3 has two oppositely arranged and outwardly extending elastic feet 31 and three wiring holes 32. The side opening of the vertical rod 1 and the elastic feet 31 are plates that slope outward from bottom to top. The elastic feet 31 can retract inward under the action of external force. The two opposite walls of the side opening are provided with strip-shaped protrusions 11 extending vertically. The wiring component 3 is inserted into the opening of the horizontal tube 2 from the side opening. The elastic feet 31 deform under the action of external force and are installed between the two strip-shaped protrusions 11. When the elastic feet 31 return to their natural state, they can abut against the strip-shaped protrusions 11, so that the wiring holes 32 connect the space inside the vertical rod 1 with the space inside the horizontal tube 2.

[0018] In this embodiment, the horizontal tube 2 is equipped with an electric heating wire. Each space in the horizontal tube 2 contains a corresponding electric heating wire or thermostat. One end of the wiring hole 32 is connected to the space inside the vertical rod 1, and the other end of the three wiring holes 32 are respectively connected to the corresponding spaces inside the horizontal tube 2.

[0019] The wiring component 3 in this embodiment also includes a plug 33 that can be inserted into the horizontal tube 2 and a limiting plate 34 that can be locked outside the horizontal tube 2. Three wiring holes 32 are provided on the plug 33, which allow the heating wire to pass into or out of the horizontal tube 2. In this embodiment, the limiting plate 34 is located above the plug 33, and the size of the limiting plate 34 is larger than the inner diameter of the horizontal tube 2, so that the limiting plate 34 is locked outside the horizontal tube 2. Elastic feet 31 are provided on the limiting plate 34 and on both sides of the limiting plate 34. The wiring holes 32 are provided through the limiting plate 34 and the plug 33. In addition, the limiting plate 34 in this embodiment is provided with two oppositely arranged clips 35. The clips 35 are inverted L-shaped protrusions. The two clips 35 form a wiring groove 36 for fixing the heating wire or conductor. The direction of the wiring groove 36 is consistent with the length direction of the vertical rod 1.

[0020] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows: First, the producer applies external force to the elastic foot 31 of the wiring component 3. Under the action of external force, the elastic foot 31 retracts inward, and the wiring component 3 is installed between the two strip-shaped protrusions 11 of the vertical rod 1 through the side opening of the vertical rod 1. Then, the plug 33 of the wiring component 3 is inserted into the horizontal tube 2, so that each wiring hole 32 is connected to the corresponding space. Then, the producer releases his hands, and the elastic foot 31 returns to its natural state, so that the upper end of the elastic foot 31 abuts against the strip-shaped protrusion 11. Finally, the heating wire is installed into the wiring groove 36 and the corresponding wiring hole 32 in sequence to complete the wiring of the heating wire.
