Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of HVAC equipment technology, specifically relating to a bracket for an electric towel rack. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the increasing requirements for home hygiene, electric towel racks, as a type of HVAC equipment that combines drying, heating, and towel hanging functions, have gradually become a common feature in modern homes. They hang towels on brackets and use built-in heating modules to quickly dry towels, clothes, and other items. In this context, the accessory brackets of electric towel racks, as key structures that directly support users' daily necessities, are crucial to the product's practicality, user experience, and functional expansion.

[0003] While the installation design of the aforementioned brackets meets basic load-bearing requirements, the following significant problems are exposed in actual use: First, the position is not adjustable, resulting in poor adaptability. Users cannot adjust the height of the brackets according to actual needs (such as towel length and toiletries size), making it impossible to place large items on the brackets. Second, disassembly and assembly are difficult, leading to high maintenance costs. Whether it is a fixed connection or a snap-on / track-type installation, disassembly of the brackets requires tools or additional force, which is extremely inconvenient for daily cleaning (such as cleaning food residue and limescale from the bracket gaps) or replacing damaged brackets. Some products even sacrifice maintainability (such as welded structures) to enhance fixation, making it impossible for users to change the bracket type independently. Third, universality is low, and expandability is limited. The main structure of electric towel racks varies greatly between different brands and models (such as pipe diameter, frame spacing, and reserved installation position specifications). Existing brackets are mostly designed for specific models, resulting in poor cross-product adaptability. If users replace the electric towel rack, they often need to replace the bracket at the same time, increasing the cost of use.

[0004] In view of the aforementioned problems, it is necessary to design a bracket for electric towel racks that is simple in structure, low in cost, highly compatible, and can be disassembled and repositioned at will. To this end, the applicant has ingeniously designed this technical solution. Utility Model Content
