Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of towel rack technology, and more specifically, to a towel heating rack. Background Technology

[0002] Towels are a common item in people's lives, and they are usually damp after washing. Damp towels are prone to bacterial growth, especially in cold winters or in damp, enclosed bathrooms. Wet towels are difficult to dry and may develop mold, which can harm health. Electric towel racks can heat towels to achieve the purpose of quickly drying them.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221616863U discloses a heated towel rack, including connecting parts, rotating sleeves, and hanging rods. Two connecting parts are provided, used for fixed installation on a wall. Multiple rotating sleeves are provided, connected sequentially along their length and rotatably connected to each other. Two rotating sleeves at each end are rotatably connected to two connecting parts, respectively. Multiple hanging rods are provided, each corresponding to a rotating sleeve, and fixedly connected to the rotating sleeves. Each hanging rod has a built-in heating device. The multiple rotating sleeves can rotate relatively independently, allowing the hanging rods fixed to the rotating sleeves to rotate relative to each other without interference, preventing towels on different hanging rods from affecting each other and improving drying efficiency.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned heated towel rack can dry multiple towels at the same time, it still has the following problems: when using the device to dry towels, not all parts of the towel will be in contact with the hanging rod. Only a part of the towel will be in contact with the hanging rod, which will cause the towel to be heated in a localized way, thus prolonging its drying time. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A towel heating rack includes a frame 101, at least one heating tube 201 rotatably mounted on the frame 101, a heating mechanism installed inside the heating tube 201, a driving mechanism installed on the frame 101, and a fixing mechanism installed on the outer periphery of the heating tube 201. The heating mechanism is used to heat the heating tube 201; the driving mechanism is used to drive the heating tube 201 to rotate; and the fixing mechanism is used to fix the towels to be dried on the heating tube 201.

[0024] After the towel to be dried is temporarily fixed to the outer periphery of the heating tube 201 by the fixing mechanism, the heating mechanism heats the heating tube 201, and the heat from the heating tube 201 is transferred to its outer surface. Then the driving mechanism drives the heating tube 201 to rotate (the heating tube 201 can be rotated clockwise first, and then rotated counterclockwise). During the rotation of the heating tube 201, the towel to be heated will be wrapped around the heating tube 201, so that different parts of the towel can be heated, thereby accelerating the drying of the towel.

[0025] Specifically, in order for this device to dry multiple towels simultaneously, in this embodiment, there are three heating tubes 201. All three heating tubes 201 are rotatably mounted on the frame 101, and all three heating tubes 201 are connected to the drive mechanism. Each heating tube 201 contains a heating mechanism, and each heating tube 201 is equipped with a fixing mechanism. In other embodiments of this example, the number of heating tubes 201 may be two, four, or more.

[0026] Preferably, to facilitate the simultaneous rotation of three heating tubes 201 using only one drive mechanism and reduce the manufacturing cost of the device, in this embodiment, the central axes of the three heating tubes 201 are parallel to each other after installation. The drive mechanism includes a drive shaft 301 rotatably mounted on the frame 101, and the central axis of the drive shaft 301 is perpendicular to the central axis of any heating tube 201 after installation; any heating tube 201 is connected to the drive shaft 301 via a transmission belt 401. One end of the drive shaft 301 can be connected to a motor, and the operation of the motor will cause the drive shaft 301 to rotate. In this way, when the drive shaft 301 rotates, it can simultaneously drive the three heating tubes 201 to rotate via the three transmission belts 401.

[0027] Preferred, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes an elastic pressure strip 501 mounted on the heating tube 201. The elastic pressure strip 501... Figure 2 By installing the towel on the outer periphery of the heating tube 201, the end of the towel can be quickly and temporarily fixed on the outer periphery of the heating tube 201, and then the drying process can be carried out.

[0028] In this embodiment, the heating mechanism includes a resistance heating wire 701 and a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) both installed inside the heating tube 201, and a controller (not shown in the figure) installed on the frame 101. The resistance heating wire 701 and the temperature sensor are both electrically connected to the controller. The temperature sensor can also be installed on the inner wall of the heating tube 201 to monitor the temperature of the heating tube 201. The above control method is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] The heating time and temperature settings can be set as follows: The controller time is set in a 24-hour cycle, and the temperature is set in a cycle from 1 to 50 degrees Celsius. It will operate within the set range and automatically stop when the set value is reached. Time setting: If set to work for 2 hours, it will stop working after a 2-hour countdown; if set to 24 hours, it will work for 24 hours. Temperature setting: Within the set time range, if the temperature is set to 20 degrees Celsius, it will automatically stop working when the temperature reaches 20 degrees Celsius; it will automatically start working when the temperature drops below the set temperature.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the fixing mechanism in this embodiment includes a screw 601 mounted on the heating tube 201, a nut 602 threadedly connected to the screw 601, and a pressure plate 603 passing through the screw 601. The pressure plate 603 is located between the nut 602 and the heating tube 201. By rotating the nut 602, the pressure plate 603 can be moved closer to or further away from the heating tube 201. This structure also allows for the quick and temporary fixing of the end of the towel to the outer periphery of the heating tube 201 before the drying process.
