[0055] Embodiment 4

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, each of the photoelectric detection branches includes a photoelectric switch and two detection resistors. The anode of the photodiode and the collector of the detection transistor in the photoelectric switch are connected to each other and serve as the input end of the photoelectric detection branch. The cathode of the photodiode in the photoelectric switch is grounded through one of the detection resistors, and the emitter of the detection transistor in the photoelectric switch is connected to the input end of the voltage divider feedback unit through another detection resistor.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the circuit connection structure of the photoelectric detection module 120 including two photoelectric detection branches specifically includes:

[0058] The base of the switch transistor Q1 is connected to the output end of the start control module 110 through the second resistor R36 to receive the drive signal output by the start control module 110, the emitter of the switch transistor Q1 is connected to the power supply, the collector of the switch transistor Q1 is connected to the input end of the first photoelectric detection branch and the second photoelectric detection branch, the anode of the first photodiode in the first photoelectric switch U1 and the collector of the first detection transistor are connected to each other as the input end of the first photoelectric detection branch, the anode of the second photodiode in the second photoelectric switch U2 and the collector of the second detection transistor are connected to each other as the input end of the second photoelectric detection branch, the cathode of the first photodiode in the first photoelectric switch U1 is grounded through a first detection resistor R3, and the emitter of the first detection transistor in the first photoelectric switch U1 is connected to the input end of the voltage divider feedback unit through a second detection resistor R2;

According to the driving signal, the photoelectric detection module can be controlled to detect the positional relationship between the heating elements in the operation of the heating device. The connection structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0061] Embodiment 5

[0062] Based on the above embodiment, the voltage divider feedback unit includes a first voltage divider resistor, a second voltage divider resistor and a capacitor, wherein the first ends of the first voltage divider resistor and the second voltage divider resistor are connected to each other as the input end of the voltage divider feedback unit, the second end of the first voltage divider resistor is grounded, and the second end of the second voltage divider resistor serves as the output end of the voltage divider feedback unit and is grounded through the capacitor.

[0063] In this embodiment, it is worth noting that, in the case where the heating device is composed of two heating components with a total of four heating elements, each of the heating components includes two heating elements, the first heating component includes the first heating element and the third heating element, and the second heating component includes the second heating element and the fourth heating element;

[0064] like Figure 1As shown, by selecting appropriate resistance values ​​for the second detection resistor R2, the fourth detection resistor R5, and the first voltage-dividing resistor R6, the functional logic of the circuit can also realize different functions. For example, when the photoelectric detection module is working and only one heating component of the heating device is folded, only one photoelectric switch is turned on. At this time, the divided voltage on the second voltage-dividing resistor R4 is the divided voltage on the first voltage-dividing resistor R6 after the second detection resistor R2 is connected in series with the first voltage-dividing resistor R6, or the fourth detection resistor R5 is connected in series with the first voltage-dividing resistor R6. Assuming that this voltage is the first voltage U R6-1 ;

[0065] When the two heating components of the heating device are folded at the same time, the two photoelectric switches are turned on at the same time. At this time, the divided voltage on the second voltage-dividing resistor R4 is the divided voltage on the first voltage-dividing resistor R6 after the second detection resistor R2 is connected in parallel with the fourth detection resistor R5 and then connected in series with the first voltage-dividing resistor R6. Assume that this voltage is the second voltage U R6-2 Since the resistance of the second detection resistor R2 and the fourth detection resistor R5 in parallel is smaller than the single resistance of the second detection resistor R2 or the fourth detection resistor R5, the second voltage U R6-2 is greater than the first voltage U R6-1 ;

[0066] At this time, by adjusting the resistance values ​​of the second detection resistor R2, the fourth detection resistor R5, and the first voltage divider resistor R6, the second voltage U R6-2 The condition that the third control switch K3 is turned on is met, and the first voltage U R6-1 The condition for turning on the third control switch K3 is not met, that is, only when the two heating components of the heating device are detected to be folded, the third control switch K3 can be turned on, and the third heating element and the fourth heating element can be turned on to work, otherwise, the third control switch K3 is always in the off state, and the third heating element and the fourth heating element are not turned on to work. In this way, the over-temperature rise protection of the heating device can be turned on, and the service life of the heating device can be extended.

[0089] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the structure of the heating device specifically includes:

[0090] The first end of the first control switch K1 and the base of the first starting transistor Q2 are both connected to the first signal output end of the controller MCU, and are used to receive a switch control signal sent by the controller MCU. The second end of the first control switch K1 is connected to the base of the first starting transistor Q2 through the first heating element F1 and the third heating element F3 respectively.

[0091] The first end of the second control switch K2 and the base of the second start transistor Q3 are both connected to the second signal output end of the controller MCU, and are used to receive a switch control signal sent by the controller MCU. The second end of the second control switch K2 is connected to the base of the second start transistor Q3 through the third heating element F3 and the fourth heating element F4, respectively. The collector of the second start transistor Q3 is connected to the power supply through the second start resistor R9. The emitter of the second start transistor Q3 is grounded, and the anode of the second start diode D2 is connected to the collector of the second start transistor Q3.

[0092] The cathode of the first start-up diode D1 and the cathode of the second start-up diode D2 are connected to each other and then grounded through the first resistor R10, and the start-up control module 110 outputs the voltage signal on the first resistor R10 as the driving signal;

[0093] The base of the switching transistor Q1 is connected to the second end of the first resistor R10 through a second resistor R36, and the second end of the first resistor R10 serves as the output end of the startup control module 110 to receive the driving signal output by the startup control module 110. The emitter of the switching transistor Q1 is connected to the power supply, and the collector of the switching transistor Q1 is connected to the input ends of the first photoelectric detection branch and the second photoelectric detection branch. The anode of the first photodiode in the first photoelectric switch U1 and the collector of the first detection transistor are connected to each other and serve as the input end of the first photoelectric detection branch. The anode of the second photodiode in the second photoelectric switch U2 and the collector of the second detection transistor are connected to each other and serve as the input end of the second photoelectric detection branch. The cathode of the first photodiode in the first photoelectric switch U1 is connected to the first detection resistor through a first detection resistor. R3 is grounded, the emitter of the first detection transistor in the first photoelectric switch U1 is connected to the first end of the second detection resistor R2, the cathode of the second photodiode in the second photoelectric switch U2 is grounded through a third detection resistor R7, the emitter of the first detection transistor in the second photoelectric switch U2 is connected to the first end of the fourth detection resistor R5, the second end of the second detection resistor R2 and the second end of the fourth detection resistor R5 are connected to each other, and then connected to the first end of the first voltage-dividing resistor R6 and the second voltage-dividing resistor R4, the second end of the first voltage-dividing resistor R6 is grounded, the first end of the first voltage-dividing resistor R6 serves as the input end of the voltage-dividing feedback unit, the second end of the second voltage-dividing resistor R4 is grounded through the capacitor C1, and the photoelectric detection module 120 outputs the voltage signal on the second voltage-dividing resistor R4 as the detection result;

[0094] The signal receiving end of the controller MCU is respectively connected to the second end of the second voltage-dividing resistor R4 and the first end of the third control switch K3 to receive the detection result and control the working state of the third control switch K3 according to the detection result. The second end of the third control switch is respectively connected to the third heating element and the fourth heating element.

[0095] Furthermore, the working logic of the photoelectric detection circuit of the skirting heating device specifically includes:

[0096] The signal output end of the controller MCU outputs a switch control signal to the first end of the first control switch K1 and the first end of the second control switch K2, so that the first control switch K1 and the second control switch K2 are turned on in response to the switch control signal, and outputs a control signal from the second end of the first control switch K1 to the first start transistor Q2, so that the first start transistor Q2 is turned on, and outputs a drive signal from the second end of the second control switch K2 to the second start transistor Q3, so that the second start transistor Q3 is turned on;

[0097] When the first control switch K1 or the second control switch K2 is at a low level, that is, only one heating element in a heating component of the skirting heating device is heated, it can be considered that the heating power is low and there is no need to consider the overheating protection, so it is not necessary to detect whether the skirting heating device is in a closed state;

[0098] At this time, the first start-up transistor Q2 or the second start-up transistor Q3 will be turned off, and the 5V power supply flows into the ground through the first start-up resistor R8 or the second start-up resistor R9 through the first resistor R10. At this time, the level of the drive signal is the divided voltage on the first resistor R10. Here, the resistance value of the first resistor R10 can be selected to be greater than the resistance value of the first start-up resistor R8 or the second start-up resistor R9, which can ensure that the divided voltage of the first resistor R10 is close to 5V. At this time, the switch transistor Q1 cannot be turned on, and the photoelectric detection module 120 does not start working;

[0099] When the first control switch K1 and the second control switch K2 are both at high levels, the first start transistor Q2 and the second start transistor Q3 are turned on at the same time. At this time, the driving signal is a low level close to the ground, the switch transistor Q1 is saturated and turned on, and the photoelectric detection module 120 is turned on, that is, the first control switch K1 drives the first heating element, and the second control switch K2 drives the second heating element. The first heating element and the second heating element are turned on at the same time. At this time, the skirting board heating device is in a simultaneous heating mode of the first heating component and the second heating component. The photoelectric detection module 120 is required to detect the state of the first heating component and the second heating component being close together to ensure that when the skirting board heating device is folded, the temperature of the skirting board heating device will not be too high.

[0100] It should be noted that when the first heating component and the second heating component of the skirting heating device are in a non-closed state, that is, fully extended, the first photoelectric switch U1 and the second photoelectric switch U2 are turned off, and the voltage on the second voltage-dividing resistor R4 is pulled down to the zero potential of the ground. Since the voltage signal on the second voltage-dividing resistor R4 is the input drive signal of the third control switch K3, the third relay K3 is turned off at this time, so that the third heating element and the fourth heating element are turned off;

[0101] When the first heating component and the second heating component of the skirting board heating device are in a semi-expanded state, that is, one of the first heating component and the second heating component is expanded, the first photoelectric switch U1 and the second photoelectric switch U2 are turned on and off respectively, and the voltage on the second voltage-dividing resistor R4 becomes the voltage divided by the second detection resistor R2 and the first voltage-dividing resistor R6, or the voltage divided by the first voltage-dividing resistor R6 after the fourth detection resistor R5 and the first voltage-dividing resistor R6 are connected in series. By selecting the resistance values ​​of the second detection resistor R2, the fourth detection resistor R5 and the first voltage-dividing resistor R6, the high level of the voltage signal on the second voltage-dividing resistor R4 is reduced to the condition that the third control switch K3 is turned on. At this time, the third control switch K3 is turned on, and the third heating element and the fourth heating element start heating at the same time.

[0102] Embodiment 10

[0103] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment provides an application example.

[0104] like Figure 3 As shown, an electrical load wiring diagram of a heating device is provided. When the heating device is a skirting heating device, the structure of the skirting heating device specifically includes:

[0105] The skirting heating device is composed of two adjacent heating components with a total of four heating elements, each heating component includes two heating elements, the first heating component includes a first heating element and a third heating element, and the second heating component includes a second heating element and a fourth heating element;

[0106] One end of the first heating element and the second heating element is directly connected to the input neutral line N, the other end of the first heating element is controlled by the first control switch K1 to connect to the live line AC-L, and the other end of the second heating element is controlled by the second control switch K2 to connect to the live line AC-L;

[0107] One end of the third heating element is controlled to be connected to the live wire AC-L through the first control switch K1, and the other end of the third heating element is controlled to be connected to the neutral wire N through the third control switch K3; one end of the fourth heating element is controlled to be connected to the live wire AC-L through the second control switch K2, and the other end of the fourth heating element is controlled to be connected to the neutral wire N through the third control switch K3.

[0108] When the skirting heating device starts the first heating component heating mode: the first control switch K1 is turned on, and the first heating element starts to work;

[0109] When the skirting heating device turns on the second heating component heating mode: the second control switch K2 is turned on, and the second heating element starts to work;

[0110] When the skirting heating device starts the simultaneous heating mode of the first heating component and the second heating component: the first control switch K1 and the second control switch K2 are turned on at the same time, and the first heating element and the second heating element are turned on and work at the same time;

[0111] It should be noted that, according to the positional relationship between the first heating element and the second heating element of the skirting heating device, the third control switch K3 is simultaneously controlled to be turned on or off through the start control module and the photoelectric detection module, that is, the third heating element and the fourth heating element are simultaneously turned on or off;

[0112] Specifically, if it is detected that the angle between the first heating element and the second heating element of the skirting board heating device is greater than or equal to a preset value, the third control switch K3 is controlled to be turned on, that is, the third heating element and the fourth heating element are turned on at the same time; if it is detected that the angle between the first heating element and the second heating element of the skirting board heating device is less than a preset value, the third control switch K3 is controlled to be turned off, that is, the third heating element and the fourth heating element are turned off at the same time.

[0113] On the one hand, this can further promote the introduction and application of cost-reduction chips, thereby saving resources of the chip I / O interface and reducing design costs. On the other hand, it can ensure that the temperature of the skirting board heating device will not rise too high, thereby extending the service life of the skirting board heating device.

[0114] Embodiment 11

[0115] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment provides an application example.

[0116] like Figure 4 As shown, a working logic flow chart of two adjacent heating components of a heating device when heating simultaneously is provided. It should be noted that this embodiment is for the description of the case where the skirting heating device has two adjacent heating components, and each of the heating components has two heating elements. Specifically, the skirting heating device is composed of two adjacent heating components with a total of four heating elements, each of which includes two heating elements, the first heating component includes a first heating element and a third heating element, and the second heating component includes a second heating element and a fourth heating element; the specific working process includes:

[0117] Step 410: Turn on the first heating element and the second heating element to start a heating operation mode simultaneously;

[0118] Step 420: the controller controls the first control switch and the second control switch to be turned on at the same time, that is, the first heating element and the second heating element are turned on at the same time;

[0119] Step 430: the photoelectric detection module starts working to detect the close-together state of two adjacent heating components of the skirting heating device;

[0120] Step 440: determining whether two adjacent heating units are in a close-together state;

[0121] Step 450: If yes, the controller controls the third control switch to turn off, that is, the third heating element and the fourth heating element are turned off at the same time;

[0122] Step 460: Otherwise, the controller controls the third control switch to be turned on, that is, the third heating element and the fourth heating element are turned on at the same time.

[0123] It should be noted that the closed state refers to the position state between the heating elements of the skirting board heating device.

[0124] In this embodiment, the controller controls the first control switch and the second control switch to be turned on at the same time, so that when the second heating element and the second heating element are turned on at the same time, the photoelectric detection module starts working, thereby detecting the close state of the two adjacent heating components of the skirting heating device. If it is determined that the two adjacent heating components of the skirting heating device are in a close state, the controller controls the third control switch to be turned off, that is, the third heating element and the fourth heating element are turned off at the same time, so as to ensure that the temperature rise of the skirting heating device will not be too high. If it is determined that the two adjacent heating components of the skirting heating device are not in a close state, that is, the skirting heating device is in a semi-expanded state, that is, one heating component is unfolded and the other heating component is folded, or the two heating components are in a fully expanded state, the controller controls the third control switch to be turned on, that is, the third heating element and the fourth heating element are turned on at the same time, so that the skirting heating device operates at the maximum heating power. In this way, it can be ensured that the temperature rise of the skirting heating device will not be too high, thereby extending the service life of the skirting heating device.
