[0036] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a heater 100 in one embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 2 Shows Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the heater 100 is shown.

[0037] See also Figure 1 A heater 100 provided in one embodiment of the present invention includes a shell 10, a fan assembly 30 and a heating element 50. The fan assembly 30 and the heating element 50 are both arranged in the shell 10. The fan assembly 30 drives the air flow to flow through the inside of the shell 10. The heating element 50 is located on the flow path of the air flow and can heat the air flow to finally form hot air blown out of the shell 10 for heating the indoor space.

[0038] An airflow cavity 11 is formed in the housing 10. The airflow cavity 11 includes a plurality of sub-airflow cavities 112 that are separated. The fan assembly 30 includes a plurality of fans 32. At least one fan 32 is disposed in each sub-airflow cavity 112. The heating element 50 is extended along the direction passing through each sub-airflow cavity 112. In other words, a fan 32 and at least part of the heating element 50 are disposed in each sub-airflow cavity 112. When the plurality of fans 32 are in operation, a plurality of airflows passing through the plurality of sub-airflow cavities 112 can be formed, and hot air can be discharged from the plurality of sub-airflow cavities 112. As a whole, hot air with a large air volume can be formed, and the heating effect is better.

[0039] In addition, the shell 10 has an air inlet area and an air outlet area. The air inlet area is provided with multiple groups of air inlets 113, and each sub-air flow cavity 112 is connected to at least one group of air inlets 113; the air outlet area includes multiple sub-air outlet areas arranged in a ring shape along the circumference of the shell 10, and each sub-air outlet area is provided with at least one group of air outlets 115, and each sub-air flow cavity 112 is connected to at least one group of air outlets 115, and the heating element 50 is located between each group of interconnected air inlets 113 and air outlets 115. It is equivalent to that each sub-airflow cavity 11 is connected with one or more groups of air inlets 113, and each sub-airflow cavity 113 is connected with one or more groups of air outlets 115. In this way, when the fan 32 in each sub-airflow cavity 113 is working, multiple airflow paths passing through each sub-airflow cavity 113 can be formed. At the same time, each airflow path passes through the heating element 50, and the heating element 50 heats the airflow flowing from the air inlet 113 to the air outlet 115, and finally forms hot air discharged from multiple sub-airflow cavities 112. At the same time, multiple sub-air outlet areas are arranged in a ring along the circumference of the shell 10, and at least one group of air outlets 115 is opened in each sub-air outlet area. In this way, air is discharged from multiple sub-air outlet areas on the entire circumference of the shell 10. The heating range of the heater 100 is the entire circumference of the shell 10, which is equivalent to exhausting air from a 360-degree range of the circumference of the shell 10. The heating range is wider, and the heating performance is further improved.

[0040] In addition, a plurality of sub-airflow cavities 112 corresponding to and connected to the plurality of sub-air outlet areas are formed inside the shell 10, and the plurality of sub-air outlet areas are arranged along the circumference of the shell, so as to utilize the fans 32 in the corresponding sub-airflow cavities 112 to form a plurality of forced convection heating paths, and by using a plurality of forced convection airflows to transport hot air to the plurality of sub-air outlet areas on the circumference of the entire shell, the air outlet volume can be matched with the air outlet range, thereby providing a sufficient airflow volume for the entire circumference of the shell 10, and the overall heating effect is better.

[0041] It can be understood that a group of air inlets 113 is a plurality of air inlets 113 gathered together, and each group of air inlets 113 includes a plurality of air inlets 113 ; a group of air outlets 115 is a plurality of air outlets 115 gathered together, and each group of air outlets 115 includes a plurality of air outlets 115 .

[0042] Furthermore, each sub-airflow cavity 112 includes an air duct 114 and a main cavity 116, a fan 32 is arranged in each air duct 114, the main cavity 116 is connected to the air duct 114, and the heating element 50 is located in the main cavity 116; wherein the air inlet 113 is connected to the air duct 114, and the air outlet 115 is connected to the main cavity 116. In this way, the fan 32 and the heating element 50 are arranged in two spaces, and when the fan 32 works in the air duct 114, the external air is sucked into the air duct 114 from the air inlet 113, and then the air flow is transported to the main cavity 116 to contact with the heating element 50 to absorb heat, and then form hot air discharged from the air outlet 115. In this way, the fan 32 and the heating element 50 are arranged separately, and the two will not affect each other during the installation and design process, and the air flow can be completely introduced into the main cavity 116 for heating through the guidance of the air duct 114, thereby improving the overall heating performance of the heater 100.

[0043] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a base 12, an air outlet grille 14, a top cover 16, and a partition 18. The air outlet grille 14 is arranged in an annular shape and connected between the base 12 and the top cover 16. The base 12, the air outlet grille 14, and the top cover 16 enclose an airflow cavity 11. The partition 18 is arranged in the airflow cavity 11 to separate and form a plurality of sub-airflow cavities 112. The air outlet grille 14 is provided with a plurality of groups of air outlets 115 arranged along its own circumference and respectively connected to the plurality of sub-airflow cavities 112. In this way, the base 12, the air outlet grille 14, and the partition 18 enclose a plurality of sub-airflow cavities 112, and the plurality of sub-airflow cavities 112 are separated by the partition 18, so as to prevent the fans 32 in the plurality of sub-airflow cavities 112 from causing airflow turbulence when working at the same time, and ensure that the heat can be blown out stably. Moreover, the air outlet grille 14 is annular, and has multiple groups of air outlets 115 connected to multiple sub-airflow chambers 112 along its circumference. The air outlet grille 14 is configured to discharge air from various reverse directions of its circumference, which can increase the air outlet range. It can be understood that the air outlet grille 14 can be set to a circular ring or a polygonal ring structure, and the specific shape of the ring structure is not limited here.

[0044] Specifically, a plurality of independent air ducts 114 are formed inside the base 12, and the air outlet grille 14, the top cover 16 and the partition 18 enclose a plurality of main cavities 116; the heating element 50 is arranged around the inner circumference of the air outlet grille 14 and passes through each main cavity 116, and an air outlet 13 connecting the air duct 114 and the main cavity 116 is opened on the base 12. It is equivalent to forming an air duct 114 inside the base 12, forming a main cavity 116 inside the air outlet grille 14, and the air duct 114 and the main cavity 116 are connected through the air outlet 13, so as to form a complete sub-airflow cavity 112 for guiding the airflow. In addition, the plurality of air ducts 114 and the plurality of main cavities 116 are connected to each other through the air outlet 13 to form a plurality of sub-airflow cavities 112. At the same time, the air outlet 13 is located between the partition 18 and the heating element 50 , so that the airflow in the air duct 114 that passes through the air outlet 13 and enters the main cavity 116 first passes through the heating element 50 and then is discharged from the air outlet 13 .

[0045] Optionally, the air outlet 13 is arranged close to the partition 18 and away from the heating element 50. After the airflow flows out of the air duct 114, it has a longer flow path to stay at the air outlet 115, so that the air flow in the main cavity 116 is relatively sufficient.

[0046] Specifically, a mounting groove 121 is provided on one surface of the base 12 facing the main cavity 116, one end of the heating element 50 is clamped in the mounting groove 121, and the other end of the heating element 50 extends into the main cavity 116. In this way, the heating element 50 is clamped and fixed by the mounting groove 121 on the base 12, which facilitates the assembly and replacement of the heating element 50.

[0047] Furthermore, the base 12 is also provided with a card slot 123, and the top cover 16 is provided with a matching slot 161, and the opposite ends of the partition 18 are respectively assembled in the card slot 123 and the matching slot 161, so that the partition 18 is fixedly assembled between the base 12 and the top cover 16, and the airflow chamber 11 is divided into a plurality of sub-airflow chambers 112. Optionally, the top cover 16 includes an upper cover and an upper crossbeam provided on the inner surface of the upper cover, and the upper crossbeam is provided with a matching slot 161 communicating with the airflow chamber 11, so that the partition 18 is limited and fixed by the matching slot 161.

[0048] In some embodiments, the base 12 has a bottom wall relative to the top cover 16 and a side wall intersecting with the bottom wall, and a plurality of groups of air inlets 113 are provided on the side wall, which are respectively connected to a plurality of air ducts 114, so that air is introduced from the side of the base 12, and the air is introduced more smoothly. Optionally, the air duct 114 extends in an arc shape between the air inlet 113 and the air outlet 13, and the plurality of air ducts 114 are arranged relative to the center of the base 12, so that the plurality of air ducts 114 are evenly distributed on the base 12 to evenly convey the airflow, and the air duct 114 is curved, so that the airflow smoothly turns from the air inlet 113 on the side of the base 12 to the air outlet 13 on the top surface of the base 12 in the air duct 114 and flows out.

[0049] Specifically in this embodiment, the air outlet grille 14 is constructed as a polygonal ring, and the heating element 50 includes a plurality of sub-heating elements 52, which are respectively arranged corresponding to each side of the multi-deformable ring. Each side of the air outlet grille 14 has a corresponding sub-heating element 52 to heat the airflow at the corresponding position, and the airflow at each position of the air outlet grille 14 can be heated. In addition, the air outlet grille 14 itself is a polygonal ring, and can exhaust air from all directions in the circumferential direction.

[0050] Furthermore, the air outlet grille 14 includes a first air outlet grille 141, a second air outlet grille 143, a third air outlet grille 145 and a fourth air outlet grille 147, and the first air outlet grille 141, the second air outlet grille 143, the third air outlet grille 145 and the fourth air outlet grille 147 are connected to form a quadrilateral ring; the heating element 50 includes four sub-heating elements 52, and the four sub-heating elements 52 are respectively arranged in the air flow cavity 11 corresponding to the first air outlet grille 141, the second air outlet grille 143, the third air outlet grille 145 and the fourth air outlet grille 147, and the airflow flowing to each side of the air outlet grille 14 is heated by the four sub-heating elements 52.

[0051] Furthermore, the sub-airflow chamber 112 and the fan 32 each include two, and the partition plate 18 is arranged between the first air outlet grille 141 and the third air outlet grille 145, or the partition plate 18 is arranged between the second air outlet grille 143 and the fourth air outlet grille 147. Forced convection in two directions is formed by the two fans 32, and the air outlet volume and air outlet area are improved in combination with the radiation of the four side sub-heating elements 52, thereby improving the overall heating effect of the heater 100.

[0052] It is understandable that in some embodiments, the air outlet grille 14 is in the shape of a circular ring, and the heating element 50 is constructed as a circular ring sleeved in the air outlet grille 14. Equivalently, the air outlet grille 14 and the heating element 50 are both in the shape of a circular ring, and the heating element 50 is sleeved in the air outlet grille 14, so as to discharge warm air from all directions of the circumference of the air outlet grille 14, thereby increasing the air outlet range. It is also understandable that in some embodiments, the air outlet grille 14 is in the shape of a circular ring, and the heating element 50 is constructed as a polygonal ring sleeved in the air outlet grille 14, and the airflow flowing to all directions of the air outlet grille 14 can also be heated by the polygonal ring. The specific shapes of the air outlet grille 14 and the heating element 50 are not limited here.

[0053] In any of the above embodiments, any one of the multiple fans 32 can be selectively turned on or off, and the user can select to turn on at least some or all of the multiple fans 32 according to needs, and can adjust the air outlet direction according to needs. In addition, each fan 32 can be provided with multiple windshields, and the windshield of the fan 32 can be adjusted to change the size of the air outlet and control the air supply distance. There are many options, which can provide users with a better heating experience.

[0054] The heater 100 provided by the present invention comprises a housing 10, a plurality of fans 32 and a plurality of sub-heating elements 52. A plurality of sub-airflow chambers 112 are formed inside the housing 10. A plurality of fans 32 are respectively arranged in the plurality of sub-airflow chambers 112, and a plurality of sub-heating elements 52 are also arranged in the plurality of sub-airflow chambers 112. The housing 10 is provided with air inlets 113 and air outlets 115 which are both connected to the sub-airflow chambers 112, and a plurality of groups of air outlets 115 which are respectively connected to the plurality of sub-airflow chambers 112 are arranged in a ring shape. In this way, when the fans 32 in each sub-airflow chamber 112 are working, airflows in multiple directions can be formed, and sufficient airflow can be provided for the air outlets 115 in multiple directions, thereby improving the effect of warm air discharge. In addition, a plurality of sub-airflow chambers 112 corresponding to and connected to the plurality of groups of air outlets 115 are formed inside the shell, and the plurality of sub-airflow chambers 112 are arranged along the circumference of the shell, so as to utilize the fans 32 in the corresponding sub-airflow chambers 112 to form a plurality of forced convection heating paths, and by using a plurality of forced convection airflows to transport hot air to the plurality of groups of air outlets 115 in the entire circumference, the air outlet volume can be matched with the air outlet range, thereby providing a sufficient airflow volume for the entire circumference of the shell, and the overall heating effect is better.
