[0021] 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. Example
[0022] This utility model provides a towel rack with a drying function, including a mounting frame 1. To secure towels or hand towels and quickly dry them, a hanging rod 2 is installed inside the mounting frame 1. A separator ring 3 is fixedly fitted onto the hanging rod 2, and a fixing pressure ring 4 is provided on the separator ring 3. An anti-detachment pad 5 is installed on the fixing pressure ring 4. A protective shell 6 is installed inside the mounting frame 1, and a hot air blower 7 is movably installed inside the protective shell 6. An air outlet 8 is opened at the top of the protective shell 6, and an air inlet 9 is opened at the bottom of the protective shell 6. An adjustable guide plate 10 is installed on the mounting frame 1, and a collection box 11 is installed on the protective shell 6. The mounting frame 1 is fixed to the bathroom wall using drilling tools such as a plunger and expansion screws. After use, the towels or hand towels are manually wrung out. Then, the handle on the fixing pressure ring 4 is pulled upwards, causing the fixing pressure ring 4 and the anti-detachment pad 5 to move upwards. Then hang the bath towel or hand towel on the hanging rod 2. The dividing ring 3 can divide the hanging rod 2 so that towels or bath towels can be placed in categories.
[0023] The fixing ring 4 and anti-drop pad 5 descend and press the towels or bath towels firmly, preventing them from falling off the hanging rod 2 during drying. Water dripping from the towels or bath towels will be guided into the collection box 11 by the deflector plate 10. After the water stops dripping, the deflector plate 10 flips over and no longer obstructs the protective shell 6. Hot air blown by the hot air blower 7 will then dry the towels or bath towels through the air outlet 8, preventing bacterial growth.
[0024] To lower the fixing ring 4 and anti-detachment pad 5 and secure the towel or bath towel, a U-shaped frame 12 is installed on the mounting bracket 1. A spring 13 and a guide telescopic rod 14 are mounted on the U-shaped frame 12, with the other ends of the spring 13 and guide telescopic rod 14 attached to the fixing ring 4. Pulling the handle on the fixing ring 4 upwards moves the fixing ring 4 and anti-detachment pad 5 upwards. At this time, the spring 13 and guide telescopic rod 14 are compressed and shortened. The guide telescopic rod 14 guides the movement of the fixing ring 4 and anti-detachment pad 5, allowing them to move only up and down. Releasing the handle on the fixing ring 4 causes the fixing ring 4 and anti-detachment pad 5 to descend under the restoring action of the spring 13, securing the towel or bath towel.
[0025] To expand the effective range of the hot air blower 7 and evenly dry towels or bath towels, a sliding plate 15 is installed on the outer casing of the hot air blower 7. A reciprocating screw 16 is rotatably installed inside the protective casing 6. The sliding plate 15 is screwed onto the reciprocating screw 16. A drive motor 17 is installed at one end of the protective casing 6, and the reciprocating screw 16 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 17. When the drive motor 17 rotates, it drives the reciprocating screw 16 to rotate. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 16 causes the sliding plate 15 to move back and forth on the reciprocating screw 16, thereby expanding the effective range of the hot air blower 7 and allowing the hot air blower 7 to evenly dry towels or bath towels.
[0026] To guide the movement of the hot air blower 7, a guide rod 18 is installed inside the protective housing 6, and a sliding plate 15 is slidably fitted onto the guide rod 18. The sliding of the sliding plate 15 on the guide rod 18 can guide the movement of the hot air blower 7, so that the hot air blower 7 can only move along the guide rod 18.
[0027] To filter dust and impurities and reduce the amount of dust and impurities drawn into the hot air blower 7, a mounting frame 19 is installed inside the air inlet 9. A latch 21 is installed on the mounting frame 19 and the protective housing 6. A filter screen 20 is installed inside the mounting frame 19. The filter screen 20 filters the air drawn into the hot air blower 7, reducing the amount of dust and impurities entering the blower 7. For long-term use, the mounting frame 19 and filter screen 20 can be removed using the latch 21 to clean the filter screen 20 and prevent clogging.
[0028] To drive the guide plate 10 to flip and release water dripping from towels or bath towels, a flipping motor 22 is installed on the mounting bracket 1. A flipping shaft 23 is installed at the output end of the flipping motor 22. The flipping shaft 23 is rotatably installed inside the mounting bracket 1. The guide plate 10 is fixedly sleeved on the flipping shaft 23. A drain pipe 24 is installed at the bottom of the collection box 11, and a valve body 25 is installed on the drain pipe 24. A control panel 26 is installed on the mounting bracket 1. The rotation of the flipping shaft 23 will cause the guide plate 10 to flip, so that the guide plate 10 no longer obstructs the protective shell 6. The operator can open the valve body 25 and release the water collected in the collection box 11 through the drain pipe 24. The operation is convenient and easy to use. The control panel 26 can be used to set a certain time interval to restart the drive motor 17, the flipping motor 22, and the hot air blower 7, so that the towels or bath towels no longer drip water.
[0029] Working Principle: During use, the mounting bracket 1 is fixed to the bathroom wall using a drill bit or similar tool and expansion screws. After using a bath towel or hand towel, manually wring out the absorbed water. Then, pull the handle on the fixing ring 4 upwards, causing the fixing ring 4 and anti-detachment pad 5 to move upwards. At this time, the spring 13 and guide telescopic rod 14 are compressed and shortened. The guide telescopic rod 14 guides the movement of the fixing ring 4 and anti-detachment pad 5, allowing them to move only up and down. Next, hang the bath towel or hand towel on the hanging rod 2. The dividing ring 3 separates the hanging rod 2, allowing for the categorized placement of towels or bath towels. Release the handle on the fixing ring 4. The spring 13's reset action will cause the fixing ring 4 and anti-detachment pad 5 to descend, pressing the towel or bath towel firmly to prevent it from falling off the hanging rod 2 during drying. After the towels or bath towels are hung, due to variations in how they are wrung out, some users may have difficulty fully wringing them out, causing them to drip water for a period of time after hanging. The control panel 26 allows for setting a time interval to restart the drive motor 17, the flip motor 22, and the hot air blower 7, preventing further dripping. The dripping water is then guided by the deflector plate 10 into the collection box 11. Once the dripping stops, the flip motor 22 rotates, causing the flip shaft 23 to rotate. This rotation of the flip shaft 23 causes the deflector plate 10 to flip, preventing it from obstructing the protective casing 6. The hot air blown out by the hot air blower 7 dries towels or bath towels through the air outlet 8, preventing bacterial growth. The filter 20 filters the air drawn into the hot air blower 7, reducing dust and impurities from entering. For long-term use, the mounting frame 19 and filter 20 can be removed via the latch 21 for cleaning, preventing clogging. The operator can open the valve body 25 and release the water collected in the collection box 11 through the drain pipe 24. Operation is convenient and easy to use.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
