[0047] Figure 1 Schematic structural diagram of the openable panel module provided for the embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 Schematic structural diagram of the openable panel module provided for the embodiment of the present invention in another direction; Figure 3 For Figure 2 Partial enlarged view of removing the protective cover of the gear and the rack at A in Figure 4 Connection diagram of the gear and the rack in the openable panel module provided for the embodiment of the present invention; Figure 5 Partial connection diagram of the gear and the rack in the openable panel module provided for the embodiment of the present invention in another direction; Figure 6 Schematic structural diagram of the guide rail seat, gear and rack in the openable panel module provided for the embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] As Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides an openable panel module, including a panel assembly 10, a driving mechanism 20 and two cover plates 30. The panel assembly 10 has an area to be covered 101. The driving mechanism 20 is connected to the cover plates 30, and the driving mechanism 20 is used to drive the two cover plates 30 to move relative to each other to cover or expose the area to be covered 101.

[0049] It should be noted that the relative movement in this embodiment specifically refers to the movement directions of the two cover plates 30 being opposite with respect to the area to be covered 101, that is, the driving mechanism 20 drives the two cover plates 30 to approach each other respectively so that the two cover plates 30 cover the area to be covered 101, or the driving mechanism 20 drives the two cover plates 30 to move away from each other respectively so that the two cover plates 30 expose the area to be covered 101. By driving the two cover plates 30 to move relatively by the driving mechanism 20, the moving distance of the cover plates 30 is reduced, and the moving stability of the cover plates 30 is improved.

[0050] In specific implementation, the shapes of the two cover plates 30 may be the same or different, as long as the two cover plates 30 can cover the area to be covered 101. The area to be covered 101 may be circular or rectangular, and this embodiment does not limit it here.

[0051] Specifically, the split-open panel module provided in this embodiment can be arranged at the air outlet of the heater, the air inlets of the lighting module and the ventilation module, and is used to cover or expose the air outlet of the heater, the air inlets of the lighting module and the ventilation module, that is, the area to be covered 101 is the air outlet of the heater, the lighting module in the heater or the air inlet of the ventilation module in the heater. The application scenarios of the split-open panel module provided in this embodiment are not limited to the air outlet of the heater, the air inlets of the lighting module and the ventilation module mentioned above, and can also be arranged in other electrical appliances with air inlets and air outlets, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it here.

[0052] Taking the air outlet of the heater as an example, the working principle of the split-open panel module provided in this embodiment is described. When the heater is turned on, the driving mechanism 20 drives the two cover plates 30 to move relatively to expose the air outlet of the heater, so that the hot air generated by the heater flows out from the air outlet of the heater. When the heater is turned off, the driving mechanism 20 drives the two cover plates 30 to move relatively to cover the air outlet of the heater, preventing sundries from entering the heater and affecting the normal operation of the heater. By driving the two cover plates 30 to move relatively by the driving mechanism 20, compared with covering the air outlet with a single door panel, the split-open panel assembly provided in this embodiment reduces the moving distance of the cover plates 30 and improves the moving stability of the cover plates 30.

[0053] Among them, the panel assembly 10 can be the panel structure of an existing heater. Specifically, the panel assembly 10 includes a panel, a panel frame, a panel cover, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it here. The panel assembly 10 is generally made of polyoxymethylene. Polyoxymethylene is an engineering plastic with excellent comprehensive performance, having high strength, wear resistance, toughness, fatigue resistance and creep resistance, and will not be affected by the humid air in the bathroom when the heater is used in environments such as the bathroom. In addition, polyoxymethylene also has excellent electrical insulation and processability.

[0054] The split-open panel module provided in this embodiment is provided with a panel assembly, a driving mechanism, and two cover plates. The driving mechanism is connected to the cover plates, and the driving mechanism drives the two cover plates to move relative to each other to cover or expose the area to be covered on the panel assembly. By driving the two cover plates to move relative to each other through the driving mechanism, the moving distance of the panel is reduced, and the stability of the panel movement is improved.

[0055] In a possible implementation manner, for the split-open panel module provided in this embodiment, the driving mechanism 20 may include a driving member 201, a gear 202, and two racks 203. The driving member 201 is connected to the gear 202 and drives the gear 202 to rotate. The two racks 203 are respectively engaged on the opposite sides of the gear 202, and each rack 203 is correspondingly connected to a cover plate 30.

[0056] Specifically, the driving member 201 may be a motor or a rotary cylinder. The gear 202 is driven to rotate by the motor or the rotary cylinder. On the opposite sides of the gear 202, a rack 203 is respectively engaged. In this way, when the gear 202 rotates, the two racks 203 engaged with the gear 202 move relative to each other. Each rack 203 is correspondingly connected to a cover plate 30 to realize the relative movement of the two cover plates 30. For example, when the gear 202 rotates clockwise, the two racks 203 approach each other to cover the area to be covered 101, and the cover plates 30 are driven to approach each other through the racks 203. When the gear 202 rotates counterclockwise, the two racks 203 move away from each other, and the cover plates 30 are driven to move away from each other to expose the area to be covered 101.

[0057] For the split-open panel module provided in this embodiment, the driving mechanism 20 includes a driving member 201, a gear 202, and two racks 203. The relative movement of the two cover plates 30 is realized through the transmission of the gear 202 and the racks 203. The instantaneous transmission ratio of the transmission of the gear 202 and the racks 203 is constant, and the working stability is relatively high, further improving the stability of the movement of the cover plate 30.

[0058] Such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in specific implementation, in order to prevent foreign objects from entering the gear 202 and the racks 203 and affecting the transmission performance of the gear 202 and the racks 203, protective covers can be provided on the gear 202 and the racks 203 to prevent foreign objects from entering the gear 202 and the racks 203. Optionally, a protective cover can also be provided for the driving member 201 to prevent foreign objects from entering the driving member 201.

[0059] In order to make the movement of the cover plate 30 more stable, for the split-open panel module provided in this embodiment, the number of the driving mechanisms 20 is two. The two driving mechanisms 20 are arranged oppositely, and the same cover plate 30 is connected to the two racks 203 with the same moving direction in the two driving mechanisms 20. Specifically, such as Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown Figure 2 In the [device / component], the cover plate 30 on the left is connected to the rack 203 that meshes with the upper part of the gear 202 in the two driving mechanisms 20 Figure 2 In the [device / component], the cover plate 30 on the right is connected to the rack 203 that meshes with the lower part of the gear 202 in the two driving mechanisms 20, which makes the movement of the cover plate 30 more stable.

[0060] Since two driving mechanisms 20 are provided and the driving mechanisms 20 need to move synchronously during operation to enable the cover plate 30 to move smoothly, therefore, the split-open panel module provided in this embodiment further includes a controller (not shown in the figure). The controller is connected to the driving member 201, and the controller is used to control the synchronous rotation of the gears 202 in the two driving mechanisms 20 through the driving member 201.

[0061] Furthermore, in the split-open panel module provided in this embodiment, the panel assembly 10 is provided with at least two limiters 103. The limiters 103 are connected to the controller. When the cover plate 30 moves to completely expose the area 101 to be covered, the cover plate 30 contacts the limiter 103. The controller is used to control the driving member 201 in the two driving mechanisms 20 to stop rotating when the cover plate 30 contacts the limiter 103. The controller is also used to turn on the warm air of the heater when the cover plate 30 contacts the limiter 103. In specific implementation, when the cover plate 30 contacts the limiter 103, that is, when the cover plate 30 moves to completely expose the area 101 to be covered (the air outlet of the heater), the controller controls the heater to turn on, and the warm air is blown out through the air outlet, avoiding the warm air blowing onto the cover plate 30 and deforming the cover plate 30.

[0062] In specific implementation, the limiter 103 can be a sensor or a microswitch.

[0063] In a possible implementation manner, the driving mechanism 20 further includes a connecting member 204. The same cover plate 30 is connected to the two racks 203 with the same moving direction in the two driving mechanisms 20 through the connecting member 204. That is Figure 2 In the [device / component], the racks 203 that mesh with the upper part of the gear 202 in the two driving mechanisms 20 are connected through the connecting member 204 Figure 2 In the [device / component], the racks 203 that mesh with the lower part of the gear 202 in the two driving mechanisms 20 are connected through another connecting member 204. In specific implementation, the connecting member 204 can be tubular. The end of the rack 203 has a second insertion portion 2033. The second insertion portion 2033 is inserted into the connecting member 204 and the second insertion portion 2033 is connected to the connecting member 204 by screws. The connecting member 204 and the rack 203 can also be connected by a buckle, and this embodiment does not limit this here.

[0064] Further, the driving mechanism 20 further includes a connecting block 205. The cover plate 30 and the connecting member 204 are connected by the connecting block 205, and the cover plate 30 and the connecting member 204 are hinged to the connecting block 205. Specifically, the connecting member 204 can be a square tube. In this way, the connecting member 204 has a plane, which is convenient for the connecting block 205 to be hinged to the connecting member 204. In specific implementation, hinge seats are provided on both the cover plate 30 and the connecting member 204, through holes are provided at both ends of the connecting block 205, and a pin shaft is passed through the through holes and the hinge seats to hinge the cover plate 30 to the connecting block 205 and the connecting member 204 to the connecting block 205 respectively.

[0065] Since the two racks 203 meshing with the gear 202 are located in different planes, that is, the two cover plates 30 are located in different planes. In this way, when the two cover plates 30 cover the area to be covered 101, there is a gap between the two cover plates 30. In this way, foreign objects may enter the heater through the gap. Therefore, for the split-open panel module provided in this embodiment, the cover plate 30 and the connecting member 204 are connected by the connecting block 205, so that the two cover plates 30 are located in the same plane. In this way, when the two cover plates 30 cover the area to be covered 101, the area to be covered 101 can be completely enclosed.

[0066] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, further, the panel assembly 10 is provided with a guide seat 104. The guide seat 104 is provided with symmetrically arranged second guide grooves 1041 and third guide grooves 1042. The second guide grooves 1041 and the third guide grooves 1042 extend along the moving direction of the cover plate 30. The side surface of the cover plate 30 has a first insertion portion 301. The first insertion portions 301 of the two cover plates 30 are respectively inserted into the second guide groove 1041 and the third guide groove 1042. When the driving mechanism 20 drives the two cover plates 30 to move relatively, the first insertion portions 301 respectively move along the length directions of the second guide groove 1041 and the third guide groove 1042. In this way, the stability of the movement of the cover plate 30 is improved.

[0067] In specific implementation, the second guide grooves 1041 and the third guide grooves 1042 are distributed in a shape of an eight, so that the first insertion portions 301 can move smoothly in the second guide groove 1041 and the third guide groove 1042 respectively.

[0068] In order to increase the stability of the movement of the cover plate 30, the number of the guide seats 104 is two, the two guide seats 104 are arranged oppositely, and the opposite side surfaces of the cover plate 30 both have the first insertion portions 301.

[0069] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the guide rail seat 102 and the guide seat 104 are arranged staggeredly, Figure 2 and in

[0070] asFigures 4-6 As shown in Figures 4-6 , the split-open panel module provided in this embodiment has a guide rail base 102 on the panel assembly 10. Both of the two opposite surfaces of the guide rail base 102 have first guide grooves 1021, and two racks 203 engaged with the gear 202 are respectively embedded in the opposite first guide grooves 1021. In a specific implementation, the drive shaft of the driving member 201 passes through the guide rail base 102 and is connected to the gear 202, and the gear 202 is located inside the guide rail base 102.

[0071] Optionally, the surface of the rack 203 opposite to the first guide groove 1021 has a protrusion 2031, and the protrusion 2031 contacts the inner wall of the first guide groove 1021. By providing the protrusion 2031 on the rack 203, and the protrusion 2031 contacts the inner wall of the first guide groove 1021, the contact area between the rack 203 and the inner wall of the first guide groove 1021 is reduced, the noise generated when the rack 203 moves is reduced, the user experience is improved, and the service life of the rack 203 can be increased.

[0072] The rack 203 has a rotating member 2032, and the rotating member 2032 contacts the side wall of the first guide groove 1021. In a possible implementation, the rotating member 2032 can be a bearing, a pulley or a roller, etc. By providing the rotating member 2032, the rack 203 can move smoothly in the first guide groove 1021. In another possible implementation, the rotating member 2032 is a ball, the rack 203 has a plurality of accommodating grooves, and balls that can rotate in the accommodating grooves are provided in the accommodating grooves, and the balls contact the side wall of the first guide groove 1021. The accommodating grooves are located on the side surface where the rack 203 contacts the first guide groove 1021 and / or the bottom surface where the rack 203 contacts the first guide groove 1021, so that the rack 203 can move smoothly in the first guide groove 1021.

[0073] This embodiment also provides a heater, including the split-open panel module provided in the above embodiment.

[0074] Among them, the structure and working principle of the split-open panel module have been described in detail in the above embodiment, and will not be elaborated one by one in this embodiment.

[0075] In a specific implementation, the split-open panel module can be arranged at the air outlet of the heater, the air inlet of the lighting module or the ventilation module, and this embodiment does not limit this here.

[0076] The heater provided in this embodiment is provided with an openable panel module. The openable panel module is provided with a panel assembly, a driving mechanism and two cover plates. The driving mechanism is connected to the cover plates, and the driving mechanism drives the two cover plates to move relatively to cover or expose the area to be covered on the panel assembly. By driving the two cover plates to move relatively by the driving mechanism, the moving distance of the panel is reduced, and the stability of the panel movement is improved. The driving mechanism includes a driving member, a gear and two racks. The relative movement of the two cover plates is realized by the transmission of the gear and the racks. The instantaneous transmission ratio of the transmission of the gear and the racks is constant, and the working stability is relatively high, which further improves the stability of the movement of the cover plates. By providing a protruding portion on the rack, the protruding portion contacts the inner wall of the first guide groove, reducing the contact area between the rack and the inner wall of the first guide groove, reducing the noise generated when the rack moves, and improving the user experience. A rotating member is provided on the rack to enable the rack to move smoothly in the first guide groove.
