[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and 2 This utility model provides a folding towel rack, including a frame 1. The frame 1 is equipped with a heat source component 4 and an adjustable heating component 5. The heat source component 4 includes a heating ring 41. A cross 42 is installed at the bottom of the heating ring 41. An adapter rotating rod 43 is snapped into the center of the cross 42. A side bead 44 is fixedly connected to the end face of the cross 42. A protective frame 45 is slidably fitted on the spherical surface of the side bead 44. A support bracket 46 is fixedly fixed to the outside of the protective frame 45. The adjustable heating component 5 includes a capillary tube 51 communicating with the center of the heating ring 41. A telescopic tube 52 is fixedly connected to the top opening of the capillary tube 51. A sealing ring 53 is sleeved on one end of the telescopic tube 52. A supplementary heating tube 54 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic tube 52.

[0024] The system, through the cooperation of the frame 1, heat source component 4, and adjusting heating component 5, enables towels to be dried quickly and conveniently. A crossbar 42 is installed at the bottom of the heating ring 41, and the crossbar 42 is snapped into place with the adapter rotating rod 43. This allows the bather to manually rotate the adapter rotating rod 43 after bathing, causing the crossbar 42 to rotate synchronously with the heating ring 41. This also causes air turbulence near the heating ring 41, thereby increasing the heat transfer speed of the heating ring 41 and accelerating the overall towel drying efficiency. Furthermore, a side-mounted device is fixed on the end face of the crossbar 42. The edge bead 44 allows the cross 42 to rotate stably inside the protective frame 45, resulting in more uniform heat flow disturbance and preventing overheating in any area. This ensures a more even drying effect for the towel. Furthermore, the connection between the telescopic tube 52 and the capillary branch tube 51 allows the heat flow to be transported to the inner wall of the telescopic tube 52. At the same time, a supplementary heating tube 54 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the telescopic tube 52, allowing the heat flow to be diverted to the inner wall of the supplementary heating tube 54. This can enhance the drying of areas with high moisture content in the towel and stacked areas. The device provides a more comprehensive and meticulous towel drying function.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall surface of the heat-replenishing capillary tube 54 is provided with heat-through holes, and multiple heat-through holes are provided, which are arranged at equal intervals.

[0026] By opening heat passage holes on the outer wall of the heating tube 54, heat can pass through the heat passage holes, allowing more areas of the towel to be dried at the same time, which facilitates the quick use of the towel.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, a positioning block 56 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of one end of the adapter rotating rod 43, and a fastening ring 55 is adapted to be installed on the inner side of the positioning block 56. The inner side of the fastening ring 55 is movably inserted into the heat replenishing thin tube 54.

[0028] Even better, the fastening ring 55 is movably inserted into the heating tube 54, so that the heating tube 54 can continuously spray heat in a fixed position, solving the problem that the towel cannot dry for a long time and stably.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic tube 52 is equipped with a local heating element 57. The local heating element 57 includes an external connecting plate 571 fixedly connected to the outside of the telescopic tube 52. A straight spring 572 is provided on the end face of the external connecting plate 571 away from the telescopic tube 52. The straight spring 572 is fixed to the frame 1 by a corner bracket.

[0030] Preferred, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the end face of the straight spring 572 is fitted with a universal ball 573, and the spherical surface of the universal ball 573 is adapted to install a local inner plate 574. The maximum extension length of the straight spring 572 is less than the extension length of the telescopic tube 52.

[0031] In the above, the cooperation between the telescopic tube 52 and the local heating element 57 blocks the ejected heat flow. Furthermore, by setting an external connecting plate 571 on the outside of the telescopic tube 52 and a straight spring 572 on the end face of the external connecting plate 571, the bather can pull the external connecting plate 571 after bathing, causing the straight spring 572 to stretch elastically, ultimately causing the local inner plate 574 to shift laterally, thereby blocking the heat flow at different locations and facilitating enhanced heating of different areas of the towel.

[0032] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the structure of the heating ring disk 41 is a central ring rotating around the outer side, and the heating ring disk 41 is powered by an external power supply.

[0033] In the above, the rotating ring structure of the heating ring plate 41 can ensure that the heat source is continuously radiated from the inside to the outside, so that the heating effect of the towel is long-lasting, and at the same time, it can meet the needs of multiple uses of the towel.

[0034] Preferably, the frame 1 is equipped with an inner clamp 6, the inner clamp 6 including a square frame 61 that fixes the top of the frame 1, and a gripper 62 is provided on the inner side of the square frame 61, the end face of the gripper 62 being movably clamped to the adapter rotating rod 43.

[0035] Then, the gripper 62 and the adapter rotating rod 43 are moved to clamp each other, so that the adapter rotating rod 43 is locked in a fixed position. At the same time, the disturbance of the heat flow by the adapter rotating rod 43 immediately stops, and the heating ring 41 resumes its circular heating function, so that the full range of towel drying effect can be better guaranteed.

[0036] Furthermore, the rotation range of the local inner plate 574 is from the downward tilt angle to the horizontal plane, and the initial position of the local inner plate 574 is at the outermost ring of the heating ring disk 41.

[0037] To elaborate further, keeping the local inner plate 547 at a downward rotation angle allows heat to flow to the upper surface of the heating ring plate 41, thus achieving enhanced drying of the towel.

[0038] Furthermore, a pivot assembly 2 is installed on the inner side of the frame 1, and a support plate 3 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the pivot assembly 2.

[0039] Furthermore, by rotating the support plate 3 on the shaft assembly 2, the towel is suspended and supported on the side of the support plate 3, which facilitates the stable drying of the towel.

[0040] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the support plate 3 is made of stainless steel in one piece, and the rotation angle range of the support plate 3 is acute.

[0041] In detail, the stainless steel material of support plate 3 and its small rotation range provide relatively stable support for towels, making them easy to dry.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
