Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a household appliance. Background Art

[0002] Household appliances in the related art, such as baseboard heaters or fans, usually can only work properly in a specific placement state. For example, a baseboard heater can only work properly when it is in a horizontal state. At this time, the air outlet of the baseboard heater faces upward, and the baseboard heater blows warm air upward through the air outlet.

[0003] Once the placement state of the skirting board heater is changed to another state, for example, the direction of the air outlet of the skirting board heater is changed to the left or right direction, the sensor inside the skirting board heater will detect that the position state of the skirting board heater is abnormal, and the skirting board heater cannot continue to work, thus resulting in a relatively single application scenario of the skirting board heater.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0032] An embodiment of the present application provides a household appliance, wherein the household appliance may include at least one of a heater and an electric fan, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0033] Specifically, a heater is a device used for heating, and the working principle of the heater is to generate heat through electric heating or gas heating, thereby achieving a heating effect. An electric fan can include an electric fan that blows cold air and an electric fan that blows hot air.

[0034] The following is a detailed description using a household appliance as a heater.

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 In some embodiments, the heater 1 includes a detachably connected base 50 and a housing 60. It is understood that the base 50 and the housing 60 may also be non-detachably connected, or the base 50 may be directly removed.

[0036] The shape of the housing 60 may be, but is not limited to, a cube, a rectangular parallelepiped, a cylinder, and a truncated cone. The housing 60 may include a first side wall 61 and a second side wall 62 that are set at an angle, wherein the base 50 may be selectively detachably connected to one of the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62 .

[0037] See also Figure 1 When the heater 1 is in a vertical use state, the base 50 is connected to the first side wall 61 and supports the casing 60. At this time, the heater 1 is used as a blower, and the direction of the heat radiation port 70 of the heater 1 is adjusted to a horizontal direction so that the hot air can be blown directly to the user to better meet the user's heating needs.

[0038] See also Figure 2 When the heater 1 is in a horizontal use state, the base 50 is connected to the second side wall 62 and supports the casing 60. At this time, the heater 1 is used as a skirting board, and the direction of the heat radiation port 70 of the heater 1 is adjusted to be vertically upward, which helps the hot air to flow upward better in the use environment, realizes the natural convection of the hot air, and improves the overall heating effect of the use environment.

[0039] Further, in some embodiments, the connection between the base 50 and the first side wall 61 includes at least one of a snap connection, a screw connection, and a magnetic connection, and the connection between the base 50 and the second side wall 62 may also include at least one of a snap connection, a screw connection, and a magnetic connection. This embodiment of the application does not specifically limit this.

[0040] When the base 50 is engaged with the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62 , the base 50 can be detached from the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62 , and the connection between the base 50 and the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62 is more stable.

[0041] When the base 50 is screwed to the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62 , the connection between the base 50 and the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62 is more stable than the snap connection and is not easy to be separated.

[0042] Exemplarily, when the connection method between the base 50 and the first side wall 61 is threaded connection, the specific form of the threaded connection can be that the base 50 is threadedly connected to the first side wall 61 by screws, bolts, etc., or a threaded column is provided on the base 50, and a threaded hole is provided on the first side wall 61, and screws or bolts are used to thread the base 50 and the first side wall 61.

[0043] When the base 50 is magnetically connected to the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62, the base 50 and the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62 are easier to assemble and disassemble, so that the heater 1 can be quickly switched between a horizontal use state and a vertical use state.

[0044] It can be understood that, except for the horizontal use state and the vertical use state, other states of the heater 1 can be considered as abnormal tipping states, and the abnormal tipping states include the side-lying state, the inverted state and the upside-down state.

[0045] In the side-lying state, the heat radiation port 70 is oriented horizontally, and the fourth side wall 64 adjacent to the heat radiation port 70 is supported by a support such as the ground. Specifically, the fourth side wall 64 is adjacent to both the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62 .

[0046] In the inverted state, the first side wall 61 faces upward, and the fifth side wall 65 disposed opposite to the first side wall 61 is supported by a support such as the ground.

[0047] In the inverted state, the second side wall 62 faces upward, and the heat radiation port 70 faces a support such as the ground.

[0048] See also Figure 3 , the heater 1 may also include an electronic device 10 and a power cord 20. The electronic device 10 is arranged in the housing 60, and the power cord 20 is passed through the housing 60 and electrically connected to the electronic device 10 to supply power to the electronic device 10. Specifically, the power cord 20 is a wire used to transmit electric energy, and the power cord 20 usually adopts a point-to-point current transmission method. The structure of the power cord 20 mainly includes an outer sheath, an inner sheath and a conductor (not shown in the figure), wherein the outer sheath is the outermost layer of the power cord 20, and the outer sheath plays a protective role for the power cord 20, and the inner sheath is also called an insulating sheath, and the inner sheath is to ensure the power-on safety of the power cord 20 to avoid leakage between the conductor and the air. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the material used for the conductor, for example, a copper wire or an aluminum wire. Exemplarily, the power cord 20 can transmit 220 volts of alternating current.

[0049] Please continue reading Figure 3 , a plug 80 is provided at one end of the power cord 20 away from the electronic device 10, and the plug is used to connect to strong electricity (or commercial electricity), that is, the strong electricity connected by the plug 80 is transmitted to the electronic device 10 through the power cord 20, so that the electronic device 10 obtains electrical energy and works normally. Exemplarily, the plug 80 can be a two-pin plug or a three-pin plug.

[0050] Further, the heater 1 further includes a vertical dump switch 30 and a horizontal dump switch 40, and the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are connected in parallel with each other and connected in series to the power line 20. Specifically, the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 each have a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal of the vertical dump switch 30 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the horizontal dump switch 40 or connected to a common end, and the second terminal of the vertical dump switch 30 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the horizontal dump switch 40 or connected to another common end, so that the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are connected in parallel. The vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 after parallel connection are connected in series to the power line 20, so that the power line 20 can be controlled to be on and off by the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40.

[0051] In this way, when the heater 1 is in the vertical use state, the vertical tilt switch 30 is turned on and the horizontal tilt switch 40 is turned off. At this time, the power cord 20 is in the on state, the electronic device 10 works normally, and the heater 1 is used as a heater.

[0052] When the heater 1 is in horizontal use, the horizontal tilt switch 40 is turned on and the vertical tilt switch 30 is turned off. At this time, the power cord 20 is also in a conductive state, the electronic device 10 works normally, and the heater 1 can be used as a skirting board, that is, the heater 1 can be used vertically or horizontally, thereby increasing the application scenarios of the heater 1.

[0053] When the heater 1 is in an abnormal tilting state, the vertical tilting switch 30 and the horizontal tilting switch 40 are both turned off. At this time, the power cord 20 is in a disconnected state and the electronic device 10 is in a power-off state. Therefore, the heater 1 can be powered off for protection.

[0054] It should be particularly noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, by connecting the vertical tilt switch 30 and the horizontal tilt switch 40 in parallel and then connecting them in series with the power cord 20, the on-off control of the strong electricity (or mains electricity) is achieved. In this way, when the heater 1 is in an abnormal tilting state, the power supply to the entire electronic device 10 of the heater 1 is directly cut off. In this way, not only the safety requirements are met, but also the safety of the use of the heater 1 is further improved, thereby preventing electrical accidents caused by continuing to supply power to the heater 1 when the heater 1 is in an abnormal tilting state.

[0055] See also Figure 3-Figure 4 In some embodiments, the power cord 20 may include a live wire L and a neutral wire N, wherein the vertical tipping switch 30 and the horizontal tipping switch 40 are connected in parallel to each other and then connected in series to the live wire L or the neutral wire N. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0056] See also Figure 3 For example, when the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are connected in parallel to each other and connected in series to the live wire L, and when the heater 1 is in a vertical use state, the vertical dump switch 30 on the live wire L is turned on, and the horizontal dump switch 40 on the live wire L is turned off, so that the current of the power line 20 can pass through the vertical dump switch 30 to power the electronic device 10, so that the heater 1 can be used as a heater; when the heater 1 is in a horizontal use state, the horizontal dump switch 40 on the live wire L is turned on, and the vertical dump switch 30 on the live wire L is turned off, so that the current of the power line 20 can pass through the horizontal dump switch 40 to power the electronic device 10, so that the heater 1 can be used as a skirting. The principle of the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 being connected in parallel to each other and connected in series to the neutral wire N is similar to the principle of being connected in series to the live wire L, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] See also Figure 5 In some embodiments, the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 may include two groups, that is, the number of the vertical dump switch 30 and the number of the horizontal dump switch 40 are both two, one group of the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are connected in parallel to each other and then connected in series to the live wire L, and the other group of the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are connected in parallel to each other and then connected in series to the live wire L. In this way, the live wire L and the neutral wire N of the power cord 20 are both provided with the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 connected in parallel.

[0058] In this way, when the heater 1 is in an upright use state, the vertical dumping switches 30 on the live wire L and the neutral wire N are both turned on, while the horizontal dumping switches 40 on the live wire L and the neutral wire N are both turned off; when the heater 1 is in a horizontal use state, the horizontal dumping switches 40 on the live wire L and the neutral wire N are both turned on, while the vertical dumping switches 30 on the live wire L and the neutral wire N are both turned off; when the heater 1 is in an abnormal dumping state, the vertical dumping switch 30 and the horizontal dumping switch 40 on the live wire L are both turned off. At this time, the live wire L is in a disconnected state, and the vertical dumping switch 30 and the horizontal dumping switch 40 on the neutral wire N are both turned off. At this time, the neutral wire N is also in a disconnected state. In this way, by making the live wire L and the neutral wire N both in a disconnected state, it is strictly ensured that the power line 20 is disconnected, so as to strictly ensure that the electronic device 10 is in a power-off state.

[0059] See also Figure 6-Figure 7In some embodiments, the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are both mechanical dump switches.

[0060] Specifically, the vertical tilt switch 30 and the horizontal tilt switch 40 are both provided with a spherical steel ball, a pressure rod, a spring and a spring (not shown in the figure), and the spring is connected to the pressure rod and the spring respectively. When the heater 1 is in a vertical use state, the steel ball is subjected to gravity to press the pressure rod, thereby making the vertical tilt switch 30 turned on, while the steel ball in the horizontal tilt switch 40 does not press the pressure rod, so that the horizontal tilt switch 40 is turned off. In this way, when the heater 1 is in a vertical use state, the power cord 20 can supply power to the electronic device 10 through the vertical tilt switch 30.

[0061] Otherwise, see Figure 7 When the heater 1 is in a horizontal use state, the steel ball is subjected to gravity to press the pressure rod, thereby turning on the horizontal tilting switch 40, while the steel ball in the vertical tilting switch 30 does not press the pressure rod, so that the vertical tilting switch 30 is in an off state. In this way, when the heater 1 is in a horizontal use state, the horizontal tilting switch 40 is turned on, so that the power cord 20 can supply power to the electronic device 10.

[0062] Further, the angle between the central axis of the vertical dump switch 30 and the central axis of the horizontal dump switch 40 is not less than 70 degrees and not more than 110 degrees. For example, the angle between the central axis of the vertical dump switch 30 and the central axis of the horizontal dump switch 40 can be 70 degrees, 80 degrees, 90 degrees, 100 degrees, and 110 degrees, thereby improving the safety of the heater 1. It can be understood that the central axis of the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 can be understood as the center line of the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 parallel to the gravity direction when the steel ball is pressed by gravity against the pressure rod.

[0063] If the angle between the central axis of the vertical dump switch 30 and the central axis of the horizontal dump switch 40 is less than 70 degrees or greater than 110 degrees, at this time, the angle between the central axis of the vertical dump switch 30 and the central axis of the horizontal dump switch 40 is smaller or larger, which may easily lead to inaccurate detection of the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40. That is, when the heater 1 is in an abnormal dumping state, the vertical dump switch 30 or the horizontal dump switch 40 may still be in the on state, thereby reducing the safety of the heater 1.

[0064] In some embodiments, the heater 1 has a first axis, and the first axis has a first angle with the direction of gravity, and the range of the first angle is not less than 0 degrees and not more than 35 degrees. The heater 1 is in a vertical use state. In this way, the heater 1 can work in an upright use state (that is, the first angle is 0 degrees), or in a vertical but slightly tilted oblique use state (the first angle is not 0 degrees). Exemplarily, the first angle can be 0 degrees, 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, and 35 degrees. In this way, in actual application scenarios, when the heater 1 is supported by a support such as the ground, but the ground is not strictly horizontal, causing the heater 1 to be in an oblique use state, the heater 1 can still work normally, making the heater 1 more in line with actual application scenarios. Exemplarily, the first axis can be a central axis perpendicular to the first side wall.

[0065] In addition, the heater 1 has a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and the second axis has a second angle with the direction of gravity, and the range of the second angle is not less than 0 degrees and not more than 35 degrees. In this way, the heater 1 can work in a lying or standing state (that is, the second angle is 0 degrees), or in a horizontal but slightly inclined lying state (the second angle is not 0 degrees). Exemplarily, the second angle can be 0 degrees, 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, or 35 degrees. In this way, in actual application scenarios, when the heater 1 is supported by a support such as the ground, but the ground is not strictly horizontal, causing the heater 1 to be in a lying or standing state, the heater 1 can still work normally, making the heater 1 more in line with actual application scenarios. Exemplarily, the second axis can be a central axis perpendicular to the second side wall.

[0066] If the range of the first angle or the second angle is greater than 35 degrees, at this time, the vertical tilt switch 30 or the horizontal tilt switch 40 is in the off state, so that the power cord 20 cannot supply power to the electronic device 10 through the vertical tilt switch 30 or the horizontal tilt switch 40, thereby causing the electronic device 10 to fail to work normally.

[0067] See also Figure 6-Figure 7 In some embodiments, the electronic device 10 includes a rectifier 11 , a fan 12 , and a heating element 13 , all of which are disposed in a housing 60 .

[0068] Specifically, the rectifier 11 is electrically connected to the power line 20, and the rectifier 11 is used to convert the alternating current of the power line 20 into direct current. The fan 12 and the heater 13 are both electrically connected to the rectifier 11, and the direct current output by the rectifier 11 is used to power the fan 12 and the heater 13, so that the fan 12 and the heater 13 can operate normally.

[0069] The heating element 13 is used to generate heat, and the heat generated by the heating element 13 can contact the air to heat the air. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the form of the heating element 13. For example, the form of the heating element 13 can be, but is not limited to, a carbon fiber heating element 13, a halogen heating element 13, a quartz tube heating element 13, a metal tube heating element 13, and an electric heating wire heating element 13.

[0070] The fan 12 may include a motor and a wind wheel. When the fan 12 is working, the motor works to drive the wind wheel to rotate, so as to drive the hot air to form warm air.

[0071] In this embodiment, no matter whether it is vertical or horizontal, it is not necessary to use a single-chip microcomputer or other controller to control the fan 12 and the heating element 13. When the heater 1 is in the vertical use state, the heating element 13 and the fan 12 work, and the fan 12 works to form warm air and blows out from the heat radiation port 70 to realize the function of a warm air blower. When the heater 1 is in the horizontal use state, the heating element 13 and the fan 12 work, and the fan 12 works to form warm air and blows out from the heat radiation port 70 to realize the function of a skirting board. At this time, the power cord 20 directly controls the fan 12 and the heating element 13 to work. In this way, the controller can be omitted, the hardware cost can be reduced, and the fan 12 and the heating element 13 are directly controlled by the on and off of the power cord 20. Whether they work, without the need for a controller, the response speed of the fan 12 and the heating element 13 is faster and the control process is safer.

[0072] It is understandable that the electronic device 10 may also include a controller, wherein the controller is electrically connected to the rectifier 11 , the fan 12 and the heating element 13 .

[0073] When the heater 1 is in an abnormal tilting state, the vertical tilting switch 30 and the horizontal tilting switch 40 are both turned off, so that the power cord 20 cannot supply power to the controller, thereby causing the controller to be unable to control the operation of the fan 12 and the heating element 13. When the heater 1 is in a vertical use state, the vertical tilting switch 30 is turned on, so that the power cord 20 can supply power to the rectifier 11, the controller, the fan 12 and the heating element 13, and the controller can control the operation of the fan 12 and the heating element 13. That is, the fan 12 and the heating element 13 require the vertical tilting switch 30 to be turned on and the controller to be used normally to work, thereby improving the safety of the use of the heater 1.

[0074] It should be noted that when the heater 1 is in a horizontal position, the heating element 13 is working, and the controller can control the fan 12 not to work. That is, by utilizing the principle of hot air rising, the heater 1 forms natural convection, thereby realizing the function of the skirting board. Of course, the controller can also control the fan 12 to work to accelerate natural convection and improve heat exchange efficiency.

[0075] Please continue reading Figure 6-Figure 7 Furthermore, in some embodiments, the electronic device 10 also includes an interactive component 14, which is disposed in the housing 60 and electrically connected to the controller. When the power cord 20 supplies power to the rectifier 11, the interactive component 14 is in a working state. The interactive component 14 may include at least one of a display component 142 and a button 141, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0077] Exemplarily, when the interactive element 14 is a button 141 , the user can press the button 141 to switch the heater 1 to a different working state, thereby improving the flexibility of using the heater 1 .

[0078] Exemplarily, when the interactive component 14 includes a display component 142 and a button 141, the user can not only observe the current working status, current temperature and other information of the heater 1, but also can switch the heater 1 to different working states through the button 141, thereby facilitating the user's observation and improving the flexibility of using the heater 1.

[0079] See also Figure 6-Figure 7 In some embodiments, the housing 60 includes a main body 66 and an end cover 67. The main body 66 may be a metal part to have better strength and can better carry components such as the electronic device 10, while the end cover 67 may be a plastic part. In this way, the housing 60 can have a certain metal texture and plastic texture by using the arrangement of the end cover 67 and the main body 66. The main body 66 and the end cover 67 define the outline of the entire housing 11. The main body 66 has a second side wall 62, and the end cover 67 has a first side wall 61. The end cover portion 67 is detachably connected to one side of the main body portion 66, wherein the detachable connection method may include at least one of a snap connection, a screw connection, and a magnetic connection. The detachable connection between the end cover portion 67 and the main body portion 66 facilitates the assembly of the electronic device 10, the vertical tipping switch 30, and the horizontal tipping switch 40. For example, the electronic device 10 can be connected to the end cover portion 67 first, and then the end cover portion 67 can be connected to the main body portion 66. At the same time, it is also convenient to replace and repair the electronic device 10.

[0080] Please continue reading Figure 6-Figure 7Furthermore, the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are installed in the end cover portion 67, so that the end cover portion 67 can play a certain protective and shielding role on the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40, and the electronic device 10 is at least partially installed in the main body 66 to prevent the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 from being affected by the electronic device 10.

[0081] Please continue reading Figure 6-Figure 7 In some embodiments, the rectifier 11, the controller, the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are installed in the same end cover portion 67. In this way, the wires connecting the vertical dump switch 30, the horizontal dump switch 40 to the rectifier 11 and the controller are shorter. On the one hand, the material manufacturing cost of the heater 1 can be saved. On the other hand, the response speed of the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 is faster.

[0082] In some embodiments, the second side wall 62 has an air inlet to facilitate the heater 1 to take in air from the air inlet, wherein the vertical tilt switch 30 and the horizontal tilt switch 40 are at least partially located at the angular position formed by the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62, that is, the first side wall 61 is connected to the second side wall 62 to form an angular position, and the vertical tilt switch 30 and the horizontal tilt switch 40 can be partially located at the angular position.

[0083] Further, the third side wall 63 is arranged opposite to the second side wall 62, and the third side wall 63 has a heat radiation port 70, wherein the whole formed by the rectifier 11 and the controller is at least partially located at the angular position formed by the third side wall 63 and the first side wall 61, that is, when the rectifier 11, the controller, the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are installed in the same end cover portion 67, the whole formed by the rectifier 11 and the controller is at least partially located at the angular position formed by the third side wall 63 and the first side wall 61, and the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are at least partially located at the angular position formed by the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62, so that the layout of the rectifier 11, the controller, the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 in the same end cover portion 67 is more reasonable, so that the size of the end cover portion 67 can be reduced.

[0084] Please continue reading Figure 6-Figure 7In some embodiments, the fan 12 and the heating element 13 are arranged in the main body 66 at intervals, and the heating element 13 is located between the air inlet and the heat radiation port 70. In this way, the air around the heater 1 is forced to circulate through the action of the fan 12, which is conducive to improving the heat transfer efficiency between the air and the heating element 13 and improving the heating effect. In addition, the user can also adjust the speed of the fan 12 according to actual use needs, so as to achieve accurate adjustment of the temperature of the use environment by the heater 1, which greatly improves the flexibility of the user in using the heater 1.

[0085] Furthermore, when the heater 1 is in a vertical use state, the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are located below the whole formed by the fan 12 and the heating element 13. If the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are located above the whole formed by the fan 12 and the heating element 13, at this time, a longer power cord 20 is required to be electrically connected to the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40, which may easily cause the user to be tripped by the power cord 20. By arranging the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 below the whole formed by the fan 12 and the heating element 13, on the one hand, it is convenient to connect the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 to the power cord 20, and on the other hand, the material manufacturing cost of the heater 1 can be saved.

[0086] Please continue reading Figure 6-Figure 7 In some embodiments, there are two end covers 67, and the end covers 67 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the main body 66, wherein the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are installed in one of the end covers 67, and the interactive component 14 is installed on the other end cover 67, that is, when the heater 1 is in a vertical use state, the vertical dump switch 30 and the horizontal dump switch 40 are installed below the whole formed by the fan 12 and the heating element 13, and the interactive component 14 is installed above the whole formed by the fan 12 and the heating element 13, so that the user can operate the interactive component 14.
