[0020] SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION METHODS

[0021] Below, in combination with the drawings, a detailed description of preferred embodiments of this utility model is provided. It is important to understand that the preferred embodiments described here are intended solely to illustrate and explain this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0022] This embodiment provides an easy-to-assemble towel rack structure, the overall structure of which is illustrated in [Fig. 1]. It comprises a towel rack support 1, a control box 2, and several circular tubes 3. The circular tubes 3 are mounted on two towel rack supports 1, and the two towel rack supports 1 are equipped with a control box 2. The control box 2 is used to control the heating wire (not shown in the drawings). The heating wire heats up as it passes through the circular tubes 3. The circular tubes 3 are used to hang and dry the towels.

[0023] The internal structure of the circular tube in this embodiment is illustrated in [Fig. 2]. [Fig. 3] shows the structure of the heating wire retaining element and the heating wire before assembly, while [Fig. 4] shows the structure of the heating wire retaining element and the heating wire after assembly. The circular tube 3 contains a heating wire 5 and a heating wire retaining element 4. The inner wall of the circular tube 3 has two retaining lugs 31, the cross-section of which is hook-shaped. The heating wire retaining element comprises a heat-conducting portion 41 and a retaining portion 42. The heat-conducting portion 41 is arched, and its outer edge fits against the inner wall of the circular tube 3. Both of its edges are secured in the retaining lugs 31.Thanks to the hooked shape of the mounting lugs 31, the distance between the ends of the mounting lugs 31 and the inner wall of the circular tube 3 can be reduced by compressing the mounting lugs 31. This allows the two sides of the heat-conducting element 41 to be secured between the ends of the mounting lugs 31 and the inner wall of the circular tube 3. The mounting element 42 has a semi-circular structure. The heat-conducting element 41 cooperates with the inner wall of the circular tube 3 and is in close contact with it. The mounting element 42 cooperates with the heat-conducting element to form a cavity for the heating wire. The junction between the mounting element 42 and the heat-conducting element 41 has a reduced-thickness folded portion 43.After placing the heating wire 1 in the cavity of the heating wire fixing element 4, by compressing the fixing part 42, it is possible to easily close the fixing part 42 with the heat conductive part 41, thus forming a closed circular cavity for fixing the heating wire.

[0024] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the circular tube 3 and the outer wall of the heat-conducting part 41 both have a corrugated structure. The inner wall of the circular tube 3 and the outer wall of the heat-conducting part 41 cooperate closely thanks to their respective corrugated structures, resulting in a larger contact area and higher heat transfer efficiency.

[0025] To obtain even higher heat transfer efficiency, the circular tube 3 and the heating wire fixing element 4 of this embodiment are both made of aluminum.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: this towel rail structure, where the heating wire fastening element comprises a heat-conducting portion and a fastening portion, the fastening portion cooperating with the heat-conducting portion to form a cavity for holding the heating wire, by placing a thin, folded portion at the junction between the fastening portion and the heat-conducting portion, after placing the heating wire in the cavity of the heating wire fastening element, it is possible to easily close the cavity by compressing the fastening portion, thus easily closing the fastening portion with the heat-conducting portion and forming a closed cavity for securing the heating wire. This structure offers the advantages of a simple design and high assembly efficiency.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the embodiments described above are merely preferred examples of this utility model and should not be considered exhaustive. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preceding embodiments, those in the technical field may still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the embodiments or replace certain technical features with equivalents. Any modification, substitution, improvement, etc., carried out in the spirit and principle of this utility model, should be understood as falling within the scope of protection of this utility model.
