Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a rotating towel rack. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, towel racks are widely used in bathrooms, kitchens, and other places to hang towels, bath towels, and other items to achieve orderly placement and quick drying. Common towel rack structures are usually fixed, such as being directly fixed to the wall or other supporting surfaces by brackets. Their direction and angle cannot be adjusted, which leads to certain limitations in use. Generally, vertically arranged towel racks can save more space, while horizontally arranged towel racks can make more efficient use of space to place towels, making them easy to take out and display.
[0003] As towel racks are installed in different environments, there may be different installation and usage requirements, such as vertical or horizontal. Therefore, how to enable the towel rack to rotate so that the crossbeams can be arranged vertically or horizontally has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotating towel rack that separates the connecting plate from the mounting base and then applies force to the baffle to make it move away from the front side of the frame and thus rotate the frame downward.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a mounting base and a frame. The mounting base extends vertically along its length, while the frame is located in front of the mounting base. Each top corner of the mounting base is provided with a fixing plate. The left and right sides of the bottom of the frame are rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the mounting base, respectively. The left and right sides of the top of the frame are provided with connecting plates, each of which is detachably connected to the mounting base. The left and right sides of the mounting base located in front of the frame are movably mounted with baffles. The forward projections of the left and right sides of the frame fall onto the corresponding baffles.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: each mounting base is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to each baffle, and each mounting base is fixedly installed with a matching spring that is fixedly connected to the corresponding baffle in each sliding groove.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: each of the baffles is provided with a handle, and each mounting base located on the front side of each sliding groove is provided with a mating groove for the handle to slide, and each mating groove is connected to the corresponding sliding groove.
[0008] The present invention is further provided that each of the handles is provided with an arc-shaped contact groove.
[0009] The present invention is further configured to include a waterproof plate, which is located on the front side of the frame and is detachably connected to the mounting base.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a first magnet is fixedly installed at each of the top corners of the waterproof plate, and a second magnet is provided at each of the first magnets corresponding to the mounting base.
[0011] The present invention is further configured to include a storage drawer located above the mounting base, the storage drawer being detachably connected to the mounting base.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, since the left and right sides of the bottom of the frame are rotatably mounted on the mounting base, after separating the connecting plates from the mounting base, applying force to each baffle can cause it to move away from the front of the frame, allowing the frame to flip downwards. As the frame flips downwards, the towel rack is placed horizontally, allowing multiple towels to be placed at the same height. All towels are at the same height, eliminating the need to bend over or raise arms, making operation more convenient, especially suitable for the elderly and children. However, it requires a certain amount of front and back space. When the required towel rack is not that large, applying force to each baffle can cause the frame to flip upwards, completing the connection between the connecting plates and the mounting base. With the mounting base connected, the length of the frame extends vertically, allowing bath towels, face towels, and hand towels to be hung at different heights for easy identification and use. This is especially suitable for families with many members. Furthermore, the horizontal beams are distributed vertically, not taking up space in the front or back of the bathroom, making it ideal for smaller bathrooms or those with a walkway. The adjustable position of the frame within the mounting base allows it to meet various usage needs. After the towel rack is installed and the frame extends vertically, the connection between the connecting plate and the mounting base, along with the presence of various baffles, prevents the frame from rotating downwards, thus limiting its movement and ensuring the frame remains stably positioned within the mounting base.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model discloses a rotating towel rack, including a mounting base 1 and a frame 2. The mounting base 1 extends vertically along its length, and the frame 2 is located in front of the mounting base 1. The frame 2 is provided with several crossbeams 4 for placing towels. Each top corner of the mounting base 1 is provided with a fixing plate 5. The towel rack can be installed on the wall by inserting bolts or hooks into the fixing plates 5 (this is prior art and will not be described in detail here). The left and right sides of the bottom of the frame 2 are rotatably mounted to the left and right sides of the mounting base 1, respectively. Connecting plates 21 are provided on both the left and right sides of the frame 2. Each connecting plate 21 is detachably connected to the mounting base 1 by bolts or other means. The mounting base 1 has baffles 11 movably installed on both the left and right sides of the front of the frame 2. The forward projections of the left and right sides of the frame 2 fall on the corresponding baffles 11. Since the left and right sides of the bottom of the frame 2 are rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1, after separating the connecting plates 21 from the mounting base 1, applying force to each baffle 11 can cause it to move away from the front of the frame 2, thus allowing the frame 2 to flip downwards. After flipping downwards, the towel rack is placed horizontally, allowing multiple towels to be placed at the same height. All towels are at the same height, eliminating the need to bend over or raise arms, making operation more convenient, especially suitable for the elderly and children. However, it requires a certain amount of front and back space. When the required towel rack is not that large, force is applied to each baffle 11 to flip the rack body 2 upwards, thus completing the connection between the connecting plate 21 and the mounting base 1. At this time, the length of the rack body 2 extends vertically, allowing bath towels, face towels, hand towels, etc., to be hung at different heights for easy identification and use, especially suitable for families with many members. Furthermore, the horizontal beams 4 are distributed vertically, not occupying the front and back space of the bathroom, making it ideal for small or hallway-type bathrooms. Since the rack body 2 is adjustable within the mounting base 1, it can meet different usage needs. After the towel rack is installed and the length of the rack body 2 extends vertically, the connection between the connecting plate 21 and the mounting base 1, as well as the presence of each baffle 11, prevent the rack body 2 from rotating downwards, thus limiting its movement and ensuring that the rack body 2 is stably positioned within the mounting base 1.
[0026] The mounting base 1 is provided with a sliding groove 12 corresponding to each baffle 11. Each mounting base 1 is fixedly installed within a sliding groove 12 with a corresponding spring 13, which is also fixedly connected to the baffle 11 by welding or other means. When the frame 2 needs to be rotated downwards, after separating the connecting plate 21 from the mounting base 1, the baffle 11 is slid towards the spring 13, thus compressing the springs 13. At this point, the baffle 11 can enter the sliding groove 12, thereby allowing the frame to rotate downwards. The frame 2 rotates downwards. When it is necessary to rotate the frame 2 upwards, force is applied to each baffle 11 again to compress the cooperating spring 13 and enter the sliding groove 12. At this time, the baffle 11 is no longer limited and the frame 2 can rotate upwards. After the frame 2 rotates upwards, the force on each baffle 11 is released. At this time, the elastic force of each cooperating spring 13 can drive each baffle 11 to return to its original position, so that each baffle 11 is located on the front side of the frame 2, which facilitates the detachable connection and assembly of the connecting plate 21 and the mounting base 1.
[0027] Each of the baffles 11 is provided with a handle 111, and each mounting base 1 is provided with a mating groove 14 for the handle 111 to slide on the front side of each sliding groove 12. Each mating groove 14 is connected to the corresponding sliding groove 12. 1. By observing the sliding path of the handle 111, the degree of movement of the baffle 11 can be understood. That is, when the handle 111 moves from one end of the mating groove 14 to the other end, the handle 111 is restricted by the mounting base 1 and cannot continue to slide. At this time, the baffle 11 is completely located in the sliding groove 12 and can rotate the frame 2 downward or upward. 2. Compared with directly pushing the baffle 11, the handle 111 allows for direct force to be applied to push on the front side of the mounting base 1, which brings convenience to the operation.
[0028] Preferably, each of the handles 111 is provided with an arc-shaped contact groove 1111, which allows the user to grip more comfortably and effortlessly.
[0029] Protrusions or other features can be provided on the contact groove 1111 to increase the roughness of the part of the handle 111 located in the contact groove 1111 and reduce slippage during gripping.
[0030] In addition, a waterproof board 3 is included. The waterproof board 3 is located on the front side of the frame 2 and is detachably connected to the mounting base 1 by means of buckles, bolts, etc. When the frame 2 is located inside the mounting base 1 and the connecting plate 21 is connected to the mounting base 1, the waterproof board 3 is installed on the front side of the frame 2. At this time, it can effectively block water vapor from entering the towels hanging on the crossbeams 4 of the frame 2 from the front side of the frame 2. When the waterproof board 3 is not needed for drying and ventilation of the towels, the waterproof board 3 can be removed from the frame 2 without interfering with the normal use of the towel rack.
[0031] The waterproof panel 3 is fixedly installed with a first magnet 31 at each of its top corners by means of adhesive bonding, and the mounting base is provided with a second magnet 15 corresponding to each first magnet 31. The installation / removal of the waterproof panel 3 and the frame 2 can be completed without screws or other complicated tools, while also being aesthetically pleasing.
[0032] In addition, it also includes a storage drawer 16 located above the mounting base 1. The storage drawer 16 is detachably connected to the mounting base 1 by bolts, magnets or other means, which can place small items such as soap, toothbrush, and facial cleanser in the storage drawer, thereby improving the practicality of the towel rack.
[0033] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
