Detailed Implementation

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to make the technical solution of this utility model easier to understand and master. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0028] This embodiment provides a modular towel machine, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, the device includes a body 100, a towel guiding mechanism 210, and a towel cutting mechanism 220. The body 100 contains a towel rolling module 300. The towel rolling module 300 includes a support plate 310 and a towel rolling mechanism 320 mounted on the support plate 310. The body 100 has a limiting seat 110. The support plate 310 is positioned on the limiting seat 110. The limiting seat 110 has a disassembly port 111 so that the support plate 310 can be detached from the limiting seat 110 through the disassembly port 111. A driving component is fixed on the towel rolling module 300 to drive the towel rolling mechanism to work.

[0029] The towel rolling module 300 forms an independently detachable functional unit. The towel rolling module 300 can be directly and quickly removed through the disassembly port 111, which facilitates the maintenance of the internal components of the towel rolling mechanism 320, quick cleaning of towel jams, and quick installation after maintenance.

[0030] The modular design of the towel rolling function concentrates the fault point in the towel rolling module 300. After directly removing the module through the disassembly port 111, the internal components of the towel rolling mechanism 320 are directly exposed. Maintenance personnel can quickly clean the towel jam or replace parts without entering the machine body 100, significantly reducing operational complexity. Furthermore, if the towel rolling module 300 ages or is damaged, a new module can be directly replaced, reducing equipment downtime. During production, the towel rolling module 300 can be pre-installed independently and then quickly assembled with the machine body 100, improving assembly efficiency. For users, when the towel machine experiences a towel jam, there is no need to wait for professional maintenance personnel; they can even disassemble the module themselves for simple cleaning, significantly improving ease of use and equipment availability.

[0031] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the machine body 100 includes a main frame 120 and a front cover plate 130 fixed to the main frame 120. The front cover plate 130 abuts against the support plate 310 to prevent the support plate 310 from detaching from the limiting seat 110. During installation, the support plate 310 is first pushed into the limiting seat 110 through the disassembly port 111, so that the support plate 310 and the limiting seat 110 cooperate to form a preliminary fixation. When the front cover plate 130 is fixed on the main frame 120, its inner structure directly abuts against the edge or end face of the support plate 310, preventing it from moving towards the disassembly port 111, avoiding module loosening due to vibration and transmission load during equipment operation, and ensuring the stability of the towel rolling module 300 during dynamic operation. After the front cover plate 130 is removed, the towel rolling module 300 is very easy to disassemble and assemble. In other optional embodiments, the towel rolling module 300 can also be fixed to the limiting seat 110 by the support plate 310.

[0032] like Figure 6 , 8 As shown in Figure 9, the end of the support plate 310 has a positioning groove 311, and the front cover plate 130 has an abutment post 131. The abutment post 131 is embedded in the positioning groove 311 and abuts against the support plate 310. In this way, the abutment post 131 can also prevent the support plate 310 from moving up and down, further improving the stability of the towel rolling module 300.

[0033] like Figure 5As shown, the lower end of the front cover plate 130 has a positioning post 132, and the upper end of the front cover plate 130 has a fixing part 133. Both the positioning post 132 and the fixing part 133 are inserted into the body 100. The body 100 has a fixing port 121 with an upward opening corresponding to the fixing part 133. The fixing part 133 is fixed to the body 100 by screws. The positioning post 132 plays a preliminary positioning role. When installing the front cover plate 130, the positioning post 132 is first inserted into the corresponding position of the body 100 to determine the approximate installation position of the front cover plate 130; then the fixing part 133 is inserted into the fixing port 121 of the body 100, and then the fixing part 133 is tightened to the body 100 by screws to complete the installation of the front cover plate 130. The positioning post 132 at the lower end of the front cover plate 130 can be quickly and accurately inserted into the corresponding position of the machine body 100, providing initial positioning for the installation of the front cover plate 130, ensuring the accurate positioning of the front cover plate 130 during installation, avoiding installation deviations, and creating favorable conditions for the subsequent installation and fixation of the fixing part 133. After the fixing part 133 at the upper end of the front cover plate 130 is inserted into the upward-facing fixing port 121 of the machine body 100, the fixing part 133 is fastened to the machine body 100 by screws, so that the front cover plate 130 is firmly installed on the machine body 100, ensuring that the front cover plate 130 will not loosen or fall off due to vibrations, transmission loads, or other factors generated during equipment operation, and ensuring that the front cover plate 130 can stably perform its function.

[0034] like Figure 9 As shown, the driving component is a motor, located on the towel rolling module 300. The support plate 310 has a first electrical connection position 312 connected to the driving component, and the machine body 100 has a second electrical connection position electrically connected to the first electrical connection position 312. By providing the first electrical connection position 312 on the support plate 310 of the towel rolling module 300, it is electrically connected to the driving component located on the towel rolling module 300, thereby providing a power and signal transmission channel for the driving component. Simultaneously, by providing the second electrical connection position on the machine body 100, when the towel rolling module 300 is installed on the machine body 100, the second electrical connection position and the first electrical connection position 312 are electrically connected, thereby enabling the driving component to be connected to the entire towel machine's circuit system and achieve normal driving and control functions. In this embodiment, the first electrical connection position 312 is an electrical contact, establishing an electrical path through physical contact to complete the transmission of power and signals. In other optional embodiments, the first electrical connection position 312 and the second electrical connection position can also be electrically connected through non-contact coupling.

[0035] In other alternative embodiments, the drive component can also be located on the body 100, with transmission teeth on the support plate 310 for transmission connection to the towel rolling mechanism, and the transmission teeth for transmission connection to the drive component. The drive component is mounted on the body 100 and serves as a power source. The support plate 310 has transmission teeth that establish a transmission connection with the towel rolling mechanism, and simultaneously, the transmission teeth are also connected to the drive component. The power generated by the drive component is transmitted to the towel rolling mechanism through the transmission teeth, driving the towel rolling mechanism to complete the towel rolling action. The gear transmission is stable and easy to separate, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the towel rolling module 300.

[0036] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 6, 8, and 9, the lower middle part of the support plate 310 has a support slider 313, the limiting seat 110 has a stepped position 112, and the rear end of the limiting seat 110 is arc-shaped. The rear end of the support plate 310 is also arc-shaped and contacts the rear end of the limiting seat 110. The limiting seat 110 has a slide rail to allow the support slider 313 to slide on the slide rail. The support plate 310 forms a sliding connection with the slide rail on the limiting seat 110 through the support slider 313 at its lower middle part. The guide effect of the slide rail on the support slider 313 allows the support plate 310 to move in a specific direction. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped design of the rear end of the support plate 310 contacts the arc-shaped rear end of the limiting seat 110, and this arc-shaped contact surface can play a positioning role after the support plate 310 is installed in place. The step 112 is used to limit the support plate 310 at the position of the support slider 313. The support slider 313 also helps to reduce the sliding contact surface of the support plate 310 and reduce sliding friction.

[0037] like Figure 3 , 8As shown, the support plate 310 includes a first plate 314 and a second plate 315. The towel rolling mechanism 320 is installed between the first plate 314 and the second plate 315. The driving member is fixed on the second plate. The body 100 has a clearance guide groove 122. The towel rolling mechanism 320 includes a driving shaft and a driven shaft. The first plate 314 has a front sliding part 316 and a rear sliding part 317 respectively corresponding to the driving shaft and the driven shaft. The rear end of the clearance guide groove 122 has a notch 140. The body 100 is provided with a micro switch 141 corresponding to the notch 140. The front sliding part 316 and the rear sliding part 317 are embedded in the clearance guide groove 122. The rear sliding part 317 abuts against the micro switch 141. The front sliding portion 316 and the rear sliding portion 317 on the first plate 314 are embedded in the clearance guide groove 122 of the machine body 100. Utilizing the guiding effect of the clearance guide groove 122, the towel rolling module 300 can move along a specific direction, reducing the likelihood of jamming and ensuring smooth installation and removal of the towel rolling module 300. The rear sliding portion 317 contacts the micro switch 141 through the notch 140, triggering the micro switch 141 to generate a corresponding electrical signal for controlling other functions of the towel machine, such as stopping the drive unit and indicating the installation or removal status.

[0038] like Figure 2 , 7 As shown, two fixing plates 230 are fixed to the body 100 by screws, and the towel guiding mechanism 210 and the towel cutting mechanism 220 are mounted on the fixing plates 230. In this way, the towel guiding mechanism 210 and the towel cutting mechanism 220 together form the towel dispensing module 200 after being fixed to the fixing plates 230, which also facilitates the overall disassembly and repair of the towel dispensing module 200.

[0039] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 6, the towel machine includes a hot water system, which comprises a heating tank 410 and a water spray component 420. A towel-making water pump 430 is located between the water spray component 420 and the heating tank 410. The water spray component 420 is positioned above the towel rolling module 300. The water spray component 420 evenly sprays hot water onto the towels, fully wetting them and ensuring that a warm, wet towel roll is formed during the rolling process, providing users with a warm, wet towel that meets their usage requirements. After the towel rolling module 300 is disassembled, the space below the water spray component 420 is relatively open, facilitating cleaning of the water spray component 420 should it become clogged.
