Although some heating devices also expand the heat dissipation direction by adding a swing head structure to the product, such heating devices cannot adjust the temperature according to different heat dissipation areas. When working, they will either cause users to overheat and feel uncomfortable due to long-term heat dissipation in a single direction or continuous heat dissipation at a fixed temperature, or the heat dissipation and heating will be intermittent due to the swing head structure affecting the heat dissipation during the swinging process, which will not only cause discomfort to users, but also affect the user experience.

[0055] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] It should be noted that if all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between various components in a certain specific posture, if the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0057] If the description of "first", "second", etc. in the present invention is only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. If the description of "A and / or B" is involved in the present invention, it means that it includes solution A or solution B, or includes solution A and solution B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0058] At present, most of the existing heating devices such as humidifier heaters, purification heaters, and air conditioners with heating functions have only one specific heat dissipation direction and a limited heat dissipation area. Although some heating devices also expand the heat dissipation direction by adding a swing head structure to the product, such heating devices cannot adjust the temperature according to different heat dissipation areas. When working, they will either cause users to overheat and feel uncomfortable due to long-term heat dissipation in a single direction or continuous heat dissipation at a fixed temperature, or the heat dissipation and heating will be intermittent due to the swing head structure affecting the heat dissipation during the swinging process, which will not only cause discomfort to users, but also affect the user experience.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the device of the embodiment of the present invention may be a heating device, or a control device connected to the heating device, such as a centralized controller, a control component 620 with a control circuit, etc., or the device may be a server, and the server is used to establish a communication connection with the heating device to control the heating device to execute corresponding steps; or the device may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet, which outputs control instructions through an APP of the mobile terminal to control the heating device to execute corresponding steps.

[0060] The control device includes a processor 621, such as a CPU, a memory 622, etc. The memory 622 can be a high-speed RAM memory 622, or a stable memory 622 (non-volatile memory), such as a disk memory 622. The memory 622 can also be a storage device independent of the processor 621.

[0061] The processor 621 is connected to the memory 622 and the drive component 610 respectively. Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 6 The device structure shown does not constitute a limitation of the device, and may specifically include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or a combination of certain components, or a different arrangement of components.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the control device includes a processor and a memory storing a heating device control program, and the processor implements the following heating device operation control method when executing the heating device control program.

[0063] Reference Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment of the present invention provides a heating device, which includes a housing 200, a heating component 100, a control component 620 and a detection component 630.

[0064] The heating component 100 is disposed in the housing 200 . The housing 200 has a heat dissipation port 220 . The detection component 630 is used to detect the temperature of a target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 .

[0065] The control component 620 is electrically connected to the detection component 630 and the heating component 100. The control component 620 stores a heating device control program for implementing the heating device operation control method described below when executing the heating device control program.

[0066] Because different parts of the human body are not equally sensitive to thermal environments, existing heating devices cannot simultaneously meet the different temperature requirements of different parts of the human body. In the embodiment of the present invention, a detection component 630 such as a temperature sensor or other device for temperature detection or a circuit component with a temperature detection function detects the temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 to improve the accuracy and reliability of regulation. The control component 620 is electrically connected to the detection component 630 and the heating component 100, and is used to adjust the operating power of the heating component 100 according to the temperature of the target area and the preset regional comfort temperature range, so as to complete the adjustment of the heat dissipation temperature of different target areas, and emit heat to the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 through the heat dissipation port 220. Such a setting can meet the user's thermal comfort heating needs and further optimize the user experience.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, the operating power of the corresponding heating component 100 is timely regulated according to the temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 fed back by the detection component 630, and the heat of the heating component 100 is emitted to the target area through the heat dissipation port 220, thereby completing the adjustment of the target area and the heat dissipation temperature of the heat dissipation and heating. The overall structure of the heating device is simple and easy to implement, avoiding the need to set up a swing head structure in the heating device, and further avoiding the added swing head structure affecting the heat dissipation and heating effect.

[0068] Optionally, the shell 200 is provided with a cavity 210, the heating component 100 is arranged in the cavity 210, and the heat dissipation port 220 of the shell 200 is connected to the cavity 210 to transfer the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to the outside of the shell 200. The heating component 100 shown can specifically be, but not limited to, a device that heats by optical radiation such as an infrared heating tube, a device that heats by heating chemical materials such as an electric heating tube, and a hot air device equipped with a heater; the heating component 100 can be a heating device or a combination of multiple heating devices, and the number and combination of the heating devices are not limited. Specifically, the heating component 100 used can be set according to actual needs, and the direction of the heat emitted by the heating component 100 can be changed through structures such as the reflector cover component 300 to adjust the heat transfer path, and transfer the heat to the required target area to meet the heating needs of different users.

[0069] In some optional embodiments of the present application, at least one regional temperature level is set for each target area, and the control component 620 is used to automatically select the corresponding regional temperature level or remind the user to select the corresponding regional temperature level according to the temperature of the target area and the preset regional comfort temperature range, and adjust the operating power of the heating component of the heating device according to the selected regional temperature level; or, the control component 620 is used to determine the target temperature of each target area according to the temperature of the target area and the preset regional comfort temperature range, and adjust the operating power of the heating component 100 according to the target temperature of each target area until the temperature of the target area reaches the target temperature; the control component 620 is also used to control the operation of at least the corresponding heating element 110 and / or the driving component 610 through preset or temporarily set multiple mode adjustment signals, and reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 through structures such as the reflector 310, so as to meet the heating needs of a single person and other small-range heating needs or the heating needs of multiple people and other large-range heating needs. The mode adjustment signal can be input through the buttons, keyboards, touch screens and other touch devices of the heating device; or, input through mobile devices such as remote controllers and mobile phones; or, a detection component 630 such as a temperature sensor is set at the housing 200 of the heating device to detect the temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220, and the control component 620 presets multiple operating modes. When the temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 reaches a preset temperature range, the corresponding operating mode is triggered, and the control component 620 is used to generate and output the corresponding mode adjustment signal. The structure of the heating component 100, the structure of the reflector assembly 300, and the specific implementation of the control component 620 controlling the heating element 110 and driving the reflector 310 refer to the above examples, which are not described one by one here.

[0070] The heating device of the present application is used to adjust the operating power of the heating component 100 according to the temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 and the preset regional comfortable temperature range. The heat dissipation port 220 can be one or more, and one or more heat dissipation ports 220 can cover the circumference, up and down direction and other height directions of the shell 200 or other arbitrary positions of the shell 200. In some optional embodiments of the present application, the target area includes the target height area of ​​the shell 200 and / or the target angle area of ​​the shell 200 circumference. It is used to transfer the heat of the heating component 100 to different target height areas, different target angle areas, different target angle areas of different target heights, and different target height areas of different target angles of the heat dissipation port 220.

[0071] It should be noted that the human body's subjective feeling of the surrounding thermal environment is generally manifested in several stages: thermal sensation, thermal comfort, thermal acceptability, etc. In order to further optimize the user experience, the technicians conducted thermal research in the early stage of the design and widely collected sample data on the subjective experience of the human body's thermal comfort of the surrounding thermal environment. The user's personal subjective feeling of the thermal environment is mainly reflected in the different thermal sensations in different parts of the human body, and the thermal sensations of different heights of the human body when sitting or standing are taken as the main analysis objects. The weights of the influence of different heights of the human body on the overall thermal sensation are not the same. The technicians conducted a significant difference analysis on the sample data and used the principal component analysis method to analyze the relationship between local and overall thermal sensations and the relationship between local and overall thermal acceptability.

[0072] Regarding the weight of the influence of local factors on the overall thermal sensation, the following results are obtained through analysis:

[0073] Under normal working conditions, the weight of the local influence on the overall thermal sensation is: feet> calves> thighs> hands> back≥ arms> abdomen≥ head> chest, and,

[0074] Under relatively cold working conditions, the weight of local influence on the overall thermal sensation is: feet > calves > thighs > hands > back > arms > abdomen > chest > head.

[0075] That is, under normal circumstances, the thermal sensation of the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) has a greater influence on the overall thermal sensation, followed by the torso (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head; under relatively cold conditions (that is, when the human body feels relatively cold), the head has a smaller weight in affecting the overall thermal sensation.

[0076] Regarding the weight of the local influence on the overall thermal acceptability, the following results are obtained through analysis:

[0077] The weights of local influence on overall thermal acceptability are as follows: head > chest > feet > back > hands > abdomen > thighs > calves > arms.

[0078] That is, the main factor that determines whether the human body can accept the thermal environment is the thermal acceptability of the trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head.

[0079] Because the thermal sensation of the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) has a greater influence on the overall thermal sensation, the comfort of the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) is more important to the overall thermal comfort. Therefore, in the initial stage of operation of the heating device, that is, when the heat dissipation and heating are just beginning, it is necessary to consider the temperature requirements of the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) to ensure that the comfort of the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) is improved first, so that the human body can quickly feel warm; because the main factor that determines whether a person can accept the thermal environment is the thermal acceptability of the trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head, therefore, when the heating device is running for a long time or has been running for a period of time until the temperature of the target area has been raised, it is necessary to consider the thermal sensation of the trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head to avoid overheating and discomfort in the trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head.

[0080] It can be understood that the heating device of the present application adjusts the operating power of the heating component 100 of the heating device according to the temperature of the target area and the preset regional comfortable temperature range. It can be seen from the above analysis results that the human body parts with a greater weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation are the limbs, especially the lower body parts (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.), and the human body parts with a smaller weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation are the trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head, because the human body parts with a greater weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation, such as the limbs, especially the lower body parts (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.), are located below the human body parts with a smaller weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation, such as the trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head, therefore, the heating device shown in the present application can be mainly used to adjust the operating power of the corresponding heating component 100 according to the temperature of the target area and the preset regional comfortable temperature range, so that the temperature of the target area reaches the preset regional comfortable temperature range to meet the heating needs of different height parts of the human body.

[0081] In one embodiment, the detection component 630 includes a first detection component 631 and a second detection component 632. The first detection component 631 is arranged at the upper part of the shell 200, and the second detection component 632 is arranged at the lower part of the shell 200. The first detection component 631 and the second detection component 632 are electrically connected to the control component 620 respectively.

[0082] It can be understood that the detection component 630 is set according to the height position of the shell 200. The first detection component 631 is arranged at the upper part of the shell 200, and is used to detect the temperature at the highest position or near the highest position of the target height area of ​​the heating device. The second detection component 632 is arranged at the lower part of the shell 200, and is used to detect the temperature at the lowest position or near the lowest position of the target height area of ​​the heating device, so as to reduce the number of detection components 630 and reduce temperature detection errors.

[0083] In addition, because the limbs, especially the lower body parts (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) and other parts of the human body with a greater weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation are located below the torso (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head and other parts of the human body with a smaller weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation, when the height dimension of the heating device housing 200 corresponds to the height dimension of the human body in a sitting state or a standing state, the first detection member 631 is arranged at the upper part of the housing 200, and the height position of the first detection member 631 corresponds to the height position of the torso (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head and other parts of the human body with a smaller weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation, and the first detection member 631 is used to detect the temperature of the corresponding target area; the second detection member 632 is arranged at the lower part of the housing 200, and the height position of the second detection member 632 corresponds to the height position of the lower body parts (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) and other parts of the human body with a greater weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation, and the second detection member 632 is used to detect the temperature of the corresponding target area. Such a setting can further improve the temperature detection accuracy and the reliability of the temperature control of the heating device, and optimize the user experience.

[0084] Optionally, the detection heads of the first detection member 631 and the second detection member 632 may be arranged on the housing 200 or at least partially extend out of the housing 200 to improve the detection accuracy. In some embodiments of the present application, a chassis or the like is provided at the bottom of the housing 200 as a base 400, and the base 400 plays a bottom support role and is also used for the installation of the housing 200 and the heating component 100. In addition, when an upper cover 500 is provided on the top of the housing 200, the heating component 100 can also be suspended in the housing 200 through the upper cover 500. The first detection member 631 can be specifically provided at other positions on the upper cover 500 or the housing 200, and the second detection member 632 can be provided at other positions on the base 400 or the lower part of the housing 200. Specifically, when the height dimension of the heating device housing 200 corresponds to the height dimension of the human body in a sitting state or a standing state, the distance between the first detection member 631 and the bottom surface of the base 400 (or the plane where the heating device is placed) is not less than 0.8m and not more than 1.3m; the distance between the second detection member 632 and the bottom surface of the base 400 (or the plane where the heating device is placed) is not less than 0 and not more than 0.3m. The first detection member 631 and the second detection member 632 can use temperature sensors or other temperature detection components 630 including temperature detection devices and temperature detection circuits; specifically, it can be set according to the actual height of the heating device, the number of detection components 630, the position of the detection components 630 and the type of detection components 630, which are not limited here.

[0085] Optionally, the heating component 100 may be, but is not limited to, an infrared heating tube, a hot air device, or other heating devices and a heating circuit provided with a heating device. The heating component 100 includes one or more heating elements 110. When a plurality of heating elements 110 are provided, the plurality of heating elements 110 may be, but is not limited to, arranged in different positions in any direction such as the height direction of the housing 200 or the circumference direction of the housing 200.

[0086] In one embodiment, the heating device further includes a reflective cover assembly 300 , which is disposed on the housing 200 and is used to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 toward a target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 .

[0087] When the reflector assembly 300 is configured to be controllably reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220, it can be specifically, but not limited to, setting a transmission structure, a pivot structure or other connection structure in the heating device, and automatically adjusting and controlling the position and angle of the reflector assembly 300 through an electric device or other control assembly, and further adjusting the transmission path of the heat emitted by the heating component 100, so as to ensure that the heat emitted by the heating component 100 is emitted to one or more target areas of the heat dissipation port 220 through the reflector assembly 300, and the heat dissipation and heating area is adjusted to achieve directional temperature control.

[0088] When the reflector assembly 300 can be controlled to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to the target height area of ​​the shell 200, the reflector assembly 300 can be, but is not limited to, configured to be movable in the up-down direction and other height directions relative to the shell 200 to change the height of the heat transfer path and radiate the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to different target height areas; or, the reflector assembly 300 can be, but is not limited to, configured to be a plurality of reflectors 310 arranged along the up-down direction and other height change directions of the shell 200, and the reflector assembly 300 can be, but is not limited to, configured to be movable in the up-down direction and other height change directions of the shell 200 to control the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to the target height area. The shielding area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 of the reflector 310 at different height positions is adjusted, and the height position at which the heat dissipation port 220 is opened is changed, so as to directly define the position of the target height area and radiate the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to different target height areas; or, the reflector component 300 can be, but is not limited to, configured to be movable relative to the heat dissipation port 220 of the shell 200, and the position of the target height area is directly defined by changing the height position and the shielding area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220, and the heat emitted by the heating component 100 is radiated to different target height areas.

[0089] The implementation method of the reflector assembly 300 being controllable to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 toward the target angle area around the shell 200 refers to the above-mentioned embodiment of the reflector assembly 300 being controllable to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 toward the target height area of ​​the shell 200, which will not be repeated here.

[0090] In addition, taking the heating element 100 using a heating element 110 such as a heating tube as an example, the heating element 100 may be one or more heating elements 110 arranged along the height direction of the housing 200. When one or more heating elements 110 are provided:

[0091] If the reflector assembly 300 can be controlled to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to the target height area of ​​the shell 200, the reflector assembly 300 can be, but is not limited to, any structure such as a shutter, a heat dissipation blade, etc. that can move circumferentially or in any other direction relative to the shell 200. When the heating component 100 is a heating element 110, the position of the target height area that can radiate heat is directly limited by controlling the movement of the reflector assembly 300 relative to the shell 200, so as to radiate the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to different target height areas; when the heating component 100 is a plurality of heating elements 110 arranged along the height direction of the shell 200, the heating elements 110 at different height positions are opened and closed, and the heat dissipation ports 220 at corresponding positions are opened by controlling the movement of the reflector assembly 300, so as to radiate heat to different target height areas and achieve the purpose of energy saving. The implementation method of the reflector assembly 300 being controllable to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 toward the target angle area around the shell 200 refers to the aforementioned embodiment of the reflector assembly 300 being controllable to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 toward the target height area of ​​the shell 200, which will not be repeated here.

[0092] It should be noted that when the heating component 100 includes multiple heating elements 110, the multiple heating elements 110 can be but are not limited to being independent and separately arranged, or connected into one by a connecting structure such as a baffle and a connecting seat, which is not limited here.

[0093] When the reflector assembly 300 can be controlled to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 toward the target height area of ​​the shell 200 and the target angle area around the shell 200, the height adjustment and angle adjustment of the heat output heat dissipation port 220 can be completed simultaneously; or, the angle adjustment can be completed after the height adjustment is completed; or, the height adjustment can be completed after the angle adjustment is completed. The specific adjustment sequence can be set according to the actual situation, and refer to the above-mentioned embodiment in which the reflector assembly 300 can be controlled to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 toward the target height area of ​​the shell 200, and the embodiment in which the reflector assembly 300 can be controlled to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 toward the target angle area around the shell 200, which will not be described in detail here.

[0094] In order to facilitate the adjustment and control of the position and angle of the reflector 310, at least part or all of the multiple reflectors 310 may be movably arranged on the housing 200, and the other parts may be selectively fixed to the housing 200. The multiple reflectors 310 of the reflector assembly 300 may be, but are not limited to, arranged inside the housing 200 and blocked between the heating component 100 and the heat dissipation port 220 of the housing 200, or arranged outside the housing 200 and blocked outside the heat dissipation port 220. The distance between each reflector 310 and the heating component 100, the distance between each reflector 310 and the housing 200, the distance between each reflector 310, the position of each reflector 310, the way in which each reflector 310 is driven and controlled, etc. may be the same or different.

[0095] In some optional embodiments of the present application, multiple reflective covers 310 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the shell 200, and each reflective cover 310 is rotatably arranged along the circumference of the shell 200 and is rotatably arranged on the shell 200; or, multiple reflective covers 310 are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the shell 200, and each reflective cover 310 is movably arranged along the up and down direction or other height change direction of the shell 200.

[0096] Taking the reflector 310 rotatably disposed on the housing 200 as an example, one or more guide rails may be optionally disposed on the housing 200 or in the cavity 210 of the housing 200, each guide rail being disposed along the circumference of the housing 200. When a plurality of guide rails are provided, the plurality of guide rails are spaced apart along the height direction of the housing 200, the reflector 310 is disposed on the guide rail and slidably connected to the guide rail, and the reflector 310 moves along the guide rail to adjust the angle of heat output, so as to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to different target angle areas around the housing 200; or, a rotating structure, such as a rotating shaft, is disposed in the cavity 210 of the housing 200 to control the rotation of the reflector 310. The embodiment in which the reflector 310 is movably disposed along the up-down direction of the housing 200 refers to the embodiment in which the reflector 310 is rotatably disposed on the housing 200, and will not be described in detail here.

[0097] In addition, it should be noted that, optionally, the housing 200 can be connected and fixed to the base 400, or can be rotatably arranged on the base 400. When the housing 200 is connected and fixed to the base 400, the heat emitted by the heating component 100 can be reflected to the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 by controlling the reflector assembly 300 in the above example; or, by rotating the heating component 100, the relative position of the heat emitted by the heating component 100 and the heat dissipation port 220 can be adjusted, and the heat emitted by the heating component 100 can be further reflected to the target angle area around the housing 200; or, by rotating the housing 200, the relative position of the heat emitted by the heating component 100 and the heat dissipation port 220 can be adjusted, and the heat emitted by the heating component 100 can be further reflected to the target angle area around the housing 200. Similarly, the housing 200 and / or the heating component 100 can be set to a retractable structure to further reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to the target height area of ​​the housing 200; the specific setting can be based on the actual setting, and it is not repeated here.

[0098] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the shell 200 may be, but is not limited to, a cylinder or any other shape suitable for actual use, and the cross-section of the shell 200 may be circular, elliptical, square or any other shape suitable for actual use.

[0099] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the shell 200 shown can be a cylindrical structure or a cylindrical structure with a certain curved surface, the reflective cover 310 and the heating component 100 are coaxially arranged, and the side of the reflective cover 310 close to the heating component 100 is constructed as a curved surface arranged around the heating component 100.

[0100] For the convenience of processing and installation, the reflector 310 can be set to an arc plate or a structure with at least one arc surface, the arc surface of the reflector 310 faces the heating component 100 and is arranged around the heating component 100, the curvature of the arc surface is greater than 0 and not greater than 30°, and preferably greater than 15° and not greater than 20°. In addition, the side of the reflector 310 close to the heating component 100 is a smooth or non-smooth arc surface, and a reflective layer or other auxiliary heat dissipation structure can be laid on the arc surface corresponding to the heating component 100, so that the cross section of the reflector 310 is regular or irregular. In this way, the heat emitted by the heating component 100 can be concentratedly transmitted to the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220, and the utilization rate of the heat emitted by the heating component 100 can be improved. The side of the reflector 310 away from the heating component 100 can be optionally configured as a heat-insulating outer layer to further improve the utilization rate of the heat and optimize the safety of the heating device.

[0101] The driving component 610 is connected to the reflector 310 and is used to drive the reflector 310 to rotate forward or reverse relative to the heating component 100. By driving the reflector 310 to rotate forward or reverse relative to the heating component 100, the heat transfer path is adjusted to radiate the heat emitted by the heating component 100 to different target angle areas.

[0102] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the reflector 310 has one or more curved surfaces on one side of the reflector 310 close to the heating component 100. When multiple curved surfaces are provided, the multiple curved surfaces are connected as one and can be optionally connected at different angles or heights. The driving component 610 drives the reflector 310 to rotate forward or reverse relative to the heating component 100 to adjust the heat transfer path and transfer the heat to the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 through the multiple curved surfaces of the reflector 310.

[0103] Reference Figures 2 to 5 In one embodiment, the heating component 100 includes a plurality of heating elements 110 , which are arranged along the height direction of the shell 200 , and the positions of the plurality of heating elements 110 correspond one-to-one to the positions of the plurality of target areas of the heat dissipation port 220 , and the control component 620 is connected to the plurality of heating elements 110 .

[0104] When the heating device is running, the multiple heating elements 110 of the heating component 100 can be selectively started to run, or only one or any multiple of them can be started to run. The control component 620 adjusts the operating power of the corresponding one or more heating elements 110 according to the temperature of the target area fed back by the detection component 630, so that the temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 reaches the corresponding regional comfortable temperature range, so as to timely adjust the operating power of the heating element 110, and improve the flexibility of the heat dissipation and heating of the heating device, so as to realize automatic heating. The multiple heating elements 110 are arranged along the height direction of the shell 200. When the radiation directions of the multiple heating elements 110 are the same, the heat emitted by the multiple heating elements 110 is radiated to the same target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220, and the radiation range can cover multiple heat-sensitive parts of the human body at the same time, so as to realize directional centralized heating, meet the heating needs of a single person or other small-range heating needs; the radiation direction of the multiple heating elements 110 is adjustable to expand the radiation range and meet the heating needs of multiple people or other large-range heating needs.

[0105] To optimize the user experience and meet different heating needs of the human body, in one embodiment, there are multiple heating elements 110, which can be specifically arranged as two, three or more sections of far-infrared heating tubes or other multiple heating elements 110. The multiple heating elements 110 are arranged along the height direction of the shell 200, and the positions of the multiple reflective covers 310 correspond one-to-one to the positions of the multiple heating elements 110.

[0106] Furthermore, the reflector assembly 300 is disposed on the housing 200 to reflect the heat emitted by the heating assembly 100 to the target height area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220. The reflector assembly 300 includes a plurality of reflectors 310, and the positions of the plurality of reflectors 310 correspond to the positions of the plurality of target areas.

[0107] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment, the heating device further includes a driving assembly 610, which is connected to the reflector 310 and drives the reflector 310 to move in at least two or more of the following ways or a combination of the following ways:

[0108] First, the driving assembly 610 is used to drive the reflection cover 310 to rotate, so as to reflect the heat generated by the heating assembly 100 to different target angle areas around the housing 200 through the reflection cover 310;

[0109] Second, the driving component 610 is used to drive the reflection cover 310 to move along the height direction of the housing 200, so as to reflect the heat generated by the heating component 100 to different target height areas of the housing 200 through the reflection cover 310.

[0110] The same driving assembly 610 can drive one or more reflectors 310, and the same reflector 310 can be driven and controlled by one or more driving assemblies 610 at the same time. The driving assembly 610 can be, but is not limited to, driving the reflector 310 to move by electric, pneumatic, etc., and can be specifically set according to the actual structure of the driving assembly 610, the driving connection relationship between the driving assembly 610 and the reflector 310, the position of the driving assembly 610, the driving method of the driving assembly 610, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present application, the reflector assembly 300 can be used to adjust the direction of heat radiation. The reflector assembly 300 can be controlled to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 toward the same target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220, thereby realizing directional centralized heating to meet the heating needs of a single person or other small-scale heating needs; or, the reflector assembly 300 can be controlled to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component 100 toward different target areas of the heat dissipation port 220 to expand the heating area to meet the heating needs of multiple people or other large-scale heating needs.

[0112] Optionally, the reflector assembly 300 can be controlled to reflect the heat emitted by the heating assembly 100 toward multiple target height areas of the housing 200. The heating assembly 100 includes multiple heating elements 110, and the reflector assembly 300 includes multiple reflectors 310. The multiple heating elements 110 are arranged along the height direction of the housing 200, and the positions of the multiple heating elements 110 correspond one-to-one to the positions of the multiple target height areas; the multiple reflectors 310 are arranged along the height direction of the housing 200, and the positions of the multiple reflectors 310 correspond one-to-one to the positions of the multiple heating elements 110, that is, the positions of the multiple reflectors 310 correspond one-to-one to the positions of the multiple target height areas. Specifically, one or more heating elements 110 can be set for each target height area, and one or more reflectors 310 can be set for each heating element 110, and one or more reflectors 310 set for each heating element 110 are set around the heating element 110.

[0113] In order to further meet the user's heating needs and optimize the user experience, in one embodiment, the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value of the comfortable temperature of multiple target parts of the human body are confirmed, and the corresponding regional comfortable temperature range is configured according to the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value of the comfortable temperature of each target part. The minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value shown can be a numerical range or a specific numerical value, which can be set according to the actual situation. The multiple regional comfortable temperature ranges include but are not limited to the minimum threshold value of the comfortable temperature of multiple target parts of the human body and the maximum threshold value of the comfortable temperature of multiple target parts of the human body. The corresponding regional comfortable temperature range is configured with reference to the minimum threshold value of the comfortable temperature of multiple target parts of the human body, the maximum threshold value of the comfortable temperature of multiple target parts of the human body, etc., to avoid the limbs and other parts of the body with a greater weight on the overall thermal sensation from not being able to feel warm quickly when the heat dissipation and heating are just started due to the low operating power, low heating temperature, slow heat dissipation speed of the heating component 100, etc., which affect the user experience; it is also used to avoid that when the temperature of the target area has been heated up for a period of time, the thermal sensation of the body parts with a greater weight on the overall thermal acceptability such as the trunk (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head is not considered, causing the user to feel uncomfortable due to overheating.

[0114] In one embodiment, the minimum comfort temperature thresholds of multiple target parts of the human body include at least the minimum comfort temperature threshold of a first part of the human body, the minimum comfort temperature threshold of a second part of the human body, and the minimum comfort temperature threshold of a third part of the human body, the minimum comfort temperature threshold of the first part of the human body is not less than the minimum comfort temperature threshold of the third part of the human body, and the comfort temperature of the third part of the human body is not less than the minimum comfort temperature threshold of the second part of the human body.

[0115] Among them, the first part of the human body, the second part of the human body, and the third part of the human body correspond to different target parts of the human body. Since the thermal sensation of the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) has a greater weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation, and the trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head have a smaller weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation, therefore, the minimum threshold of comfortable temperature of human body parts such as limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.), the minimum threshold of comfortable temperature of human body parts such as trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head can be used as main parameters, and the minimum threshold of comfortable temperature of other human body parts can be used as auxiliary parameters to regulate the operating power of the corresponding heating element 110. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the minimum comfort temperature threshold of human body parts such as limbs, especially lower body parts (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) is determined as the minimum comfort temperature threshold of the first part of the human body, the minimum comfort temperature threshold of human body parts such as torso (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head is determined as the minimum comfort temperature threshold of the second part of the human body, and the minimum comfort temperature threshold of any other part of the human body is determined as the minimum comfort temperature threshold of the third part of the human body.

[0116] The control component 620 controls the operating power of the corresponding heating element 110 to be a first operating power according to the minimum comfortable temperature threshold of the first part of the human body, controls the operating power of the corresponding heating element 110 to be a second operating power according to the minimum comfortable temperature threshold of the second part of the human body, and controls the operating power of the corresponding heating element 110 to be a third operating power according to the minimum comfortable temperature threshold of the third part of the human body, wherein: the first operating power is not less than the third operating power, and the third operating power is not less than the second operating power.

[0117] Because the thermal sensation of the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) has a greater influence on the overall thermal sensation, and the trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head have a smaller influence on the overall thermal sensation, during the operation of the heating device, it is necessary to ensure that the first operating power is not less than the third operating power, and the third operating power is not less than the second operating power, so as to meet the heating needs of different parts of the human body.

[0118] Through the above research results on thermal comfort, we know that in order to make the human body feel warm quickly, the temperature requirements of the limbs, especially the lower body parts (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) need to be considered in the initial stage of operation of the heating device, that is, when the heat dissipation and heating just begins, to ensure that the comfort of the limbs, especially the lower body parts (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) is improved first. Therefore, when the heating device is turned on and running, it should first focus on heating the limbs such as the legs and hands, so that people can warm up quickly.

[0119] Specifically, the multiple target areas include a first target area, a second target area and other target areas. The first target area corresponds to the first part of the human body such as the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) which has a greater weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation. The second target area corresponds to one or more parts of the human body such as the abdomen, chest, and head. When the second target area corresponds to the trunk (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and head which have a smaller weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation, a third target area or other target areas may be additionally set to correspond to the third part of the human body or more parts. Because the first part of the human body with a greater influence weight on the overall thermal sensation, such as the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.), is located below the second part of the human body with a smaller influence weight on the overall thermal sensation, such as the torso (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head, specifically, the first target area corresponds to the bottom of the shell 200 or is set near the bottom of the shell 200, the second target area corresponds to the top of the shell 200 or is set near the top of the shell 200, and the third target area corresponds to the middle of the shell 200 or is set between the first target area and the second target area. The plurality of heating elements 110 include a first heating element 111, a second heating element 112, and a third heating element 113. The first heating element 111 is set corresponding to the first target area, the second heating element 112 is set corresponding to the second target area, and the third heating element 113 is set corresponding to the third target area. Similarly, the plurality of reflectors 310 include a first reflector 311, a second reflector 312, and a third reflector 313. The first reflector 311 is set corresponding to the first target area, the second reflector 312 is set corresponding to the second target area, and the third reflector 313 is set corresponding to the third target area. The control component 620 is used to control the operation of the corresponding heating element 110, the corresponding reflector 310, or the drive component 610 associated with the corresponding reflector 310.

[0120] The operating power of the first heating element 111 is the above-mentioned first operating power, the operating power of the second heating element 112 is the above-mentioned second operating power, and the operating power of the third heating element 113 is the above-mentioned third operating power. When the heating device is turned on and running, it first focuses on heating the legs, hands and other parts of the body that have a greater impact on the overall thermal sensation. Specifically, the power of the entire machine is allocated to the first heating element 111, the second heating element 112 and the third heating element 113, and the first operating power of the first heating element 111 is controlled to be not less than the third operating power of the third heating element 113, and the third operating power of the third heating element 113 is controlled to be not less than the second operating power of the second heating element 112.

[0121] From the above research results on thermal comfort, it can be seen that the main factor that determines whether a person can accept a thermal environment is the thermal acceptability of the trunk (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head. Therefore, when the heating device has been running for a period of time and the temperature of the target area has been raised, the thermal sensation of the trunk (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head needs to be considered to avoid discomfort in the trunk (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head due to overheating. In order to avoid the user from overheating and discomfort due to the heating device dissipating heat in a single direction for a long time or continuously dissipating heat and heating at a fixed temperature, this application adopts one or more of the following combinations to achieve this:

[0122] First: the control component 620 is used to control the heating component 100 to enter a heating state, and control the first operating power to be greater than the third operating power, and the third operating power to be greater than the second operating power when the temperature of the target area is lower than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body; the control component 620 is also used to control the heating component 100 to enter an energy-saving state, and control the reduction of the first operating power, the second operating power and the third operating power when the temperature of the target area is not lower than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body.

[0123] After the heating device is turned on and runs to the temperature of the target area not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, the first operating power, the second operating power and the third operating power can be controlled to be reduced to avoid discomfort to the human body and achieve the purpose of energy saving.

[0124] Second: the control component 620 is used to control the heating component 100 to enter a heating state when the operating time is less than the first time, and control the first operating power to be greater than the third operating power, and the third operating power to be greater than the second operating power; the control component 620 is also used to control the heating component 100 to enter an energy-saving state when the operating time is not less than the first time, and control the reduction of the first operating power, the second operating power and the third operating power.

[0125] The first time shown in the second method above is the time or time range determined during the product production test, which is used to characterize the thermal acceptability time of the parts of the human body that are least able to accept the thermal environment, such as the torso (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head. After the heating element 110 of the heating device operates at the corresponding operating power for the first time, if the heating element 110 still maintains the same operating power, it will cause discomfort in the parts of the human body that are least able to accept the thermal environment, such as the torso (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head.

[0126] In addition, it should be noted that, by using the combination of the above two methods, if the temperature of the second target area reaches the maximum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body such as the trunk (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head, but the time when the heating device is turned on has not reached the preset first time, the second operating power can be controlled to be reduced first, and the first operating power, the second operating power and the third operating power can be reduced when the heating device is turned on and runs to the preset first time; if the heating device is turned on and runs to the preset first time, but the temperature of the second target area does not reach the maximum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body such as the trunk (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head, then the second operating power can be selectively controlled to be reduced first, or the first operating power, the second operating power and the third operating power can be controlled to be reduced when the temperature of the second target area reaches the maximum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body such as the trunk (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head. In this way, the purpose of energy saving can be achieved, and the heating effect can be optimized to avoid discomfort to the human body.

[0127] In one embodiment of the present application, the control component 620 is also used to control the first operating power to be reduced by not less than the third operating power when switching from the heating state to the energy-saving state, and to control the third operating power to be reduced by not less than the second operating power, so as to control the temperature drop and avoid discomfort to the human body while achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0128] Furthermore, for the convenience of regulation, it can be set that in the energy-saving state, the first operating power, the second operating power and the third operating power are controlled to operate at the same operating power.

[0129] Because the thermal sensation of the first part of the human body, such as the limbs, especially the lower body (such as the feet, calves, thighs, etc.), has a greater weight on the overall thermal sensation, and the second part of the human body, such as the trunk (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head, has a greater weight on the overall thermal acceptability, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body and the maximum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body when adjusting the temperature. In one embodiment, the minimum value of the comfortable temperature range of the lower target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 is not less than the minimum value of the comfortable temperature range of the upper area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220. In the heating state, the control component 620 is used to control the operation of the corresponding heating element 110, and control the operating power of the lower heating element to be not less than the operating power of the upper heating element, so as to increase the temperature of the lower target area; when the temperature of the target area is not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, and not greater than the maximum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body, when entering the energy-saving state, the control component 620 controls the reduction of the operating power of the corresponding heating element 110 until the temperature of the upper target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 is reduced. In this way, the energy-saving effect can be further optimized, and the user experience can be optimized to avoid long-term heating of target parts such as the user's torso (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and head, causing user discomfort.

[0130] Further, specifically, when the temperature of the target area detected by the second detection element 632 is not less than the minimum threshold value of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body (19-21°C), the heating device operates at full power, the control component 620 controls the heating component 100 to enter the heating state, and controls the first operating power to be greater than the third operating power, and the third operating power to be greater than the second operating power.

[0131] When the temperature of the target area detected by the first detection element 631 is not greater than the minimum threshold value (24-26°C) of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body, and the temperature of the target area detected by the second detection element 632 is not less than the minimum threshold value (19-21°C) of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, the control component 620 is also used to control the heating component 100 to enter the energy-saving state, and control the reduction of the first operating power, the second operating power and the third operating power;

[0132] When the temperature of the target area detected by the first detection element 631 is not greater than the minimum threshold value (24-26° C.) of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body, the heating device stops working to achieve overheating protection.

[0133] In one embodiment, the heat dissipation opening 220 covers the circumference of the housing 200 .

[0134] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In a specific embodiment, the peripheral wall of the housing 200 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation port groups along its height direction, and each heat dissipation port group includes at least one heat dissipation port 220 arranged in the circumference of the housing 200. The number, position, shape, size, etc. of the heat dissipation ports 220 of the plurality of heat dissipation port groups may be the same or different. The heat dissipation port 220 may be any shape suitable for actual use, such as a circle, an ellipse, a square, or a combination of multiple shapes. Specifically, the housing 200 may include an air outlet grille or other structure having a plurality of grids, and the air outlet grille is formed with the heat dissipation port 220.

[0135] To facilitate processing and optimize the heat dissipation effect, in one embodiment, the heat dissipation port 220 is circular, and the radius of the heat dissipation port 220 is not less than 3 cm and not more than 15 cm; or, the heat dissipation port 220 is rectangular, and the length of the heat dissipation port 220 is not less than 20 cm and not more than 90 cm, and the width of the heat dissipation port 220 is not less than 10 cm and not more than 25 cm.

[0136] Furthermore, to optimize the user experience, the distance between the heat dissipation port 220 at the lowest position and the bottom surface of the base 400 (or the plane on which the heating device is placed) is not less than 2 cm and not more than 15 cm.

[0137] It should be noted that the position of the heat dissipation port 220, the size of the heat dissipation port, etc. can be set according to actual conditions, and the placement of the heating device can be adjusted as needed. It can also be used in conjunction with biological detection devices such as cameras and infrared recognition devices to adjust the operating power of the corresponding heating element 110 according to the comfortable temperature of any different part of the human body, and is not limited to only being able to regulate the target heat dissipation area and the operation of the heating element 110 according to the comfortable temperature of parts of the human body such as limbs and head.

[0138] In addition, when the heating device shown is used as a device with a humidifying function such as a humidifying heater, an air-conditioning device with a heating function, etc., it can also comprehensively consider environmental parameters such as the temperature and humidity of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220, and control the corresponding heating element 110, driving component 610, and humidifying device according to the detected environmental parameters. The specific settings can be made according to actual conditions and are not limited here.

[0139] In addition, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a heating device operation control method, which is applied to the heating device of the above embodiment, and the heating device includes a heating component 100. Figures 7 to 10 , the heating device operation control method comprises the following steps:

[0140] Step S100, obtaining the temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 and the comfortable temperature range of the target area;

[0141] Step S200: adjusting the operating power of the heating component of the heating device according to the temperature of the target area and the preset regional comfortable temperature range, so that the temperature of the target area reaches the target regional comfortable temperature range.

[0142] The temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 is detected by a detection component 630 such as a temperature sensor or a circuit component with a temperature detection function to improve the accuracy and reliability of the control. The control component 620 is electrically connected to the detection component 630 and the heating component 100, and is used to adjust the operating power of the heating component 100 according to the temperature of the target area and the preset regional comfortable temperature range to complete the adjustment of the heat dissipation temperature of different target areas, and emit heat to the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 through the heat dissipation port 220. Such a setting can meet the user's thermal comfort heating needs and further optimize the user experience.

[0143] In one embodiment, before executing the step of obtaining the temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation outlet 220 and the comfortable temperature range of the target area, the following steps are also included:

[0144] Step S010, confirming the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value of the comfortable temperature of multiple target parts of the human body;

[0145] Step S020: configuring a corresponding regional comfortable temperature range according to the minimum comfortable temperature threshold and the maximum comfortable temperature threshold of each target part.

[0146] The corresponding regional comfortable temperature range is configured with reference to the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of multiple target parts of the human body, the maximum threshold of the comfortable temperature of multiple target parts of the human body, etc., so as to adjust the operating power of the heating component 100 accordingly, so as to avoid that at the beginning of heat dissipation and heating, the limbs and other body parts with a greater weight on the overall thermal sensation cannot feel warm quickly due to the low operating power, low heating temperature, slow heat dissipation speed, etc. of the heating component 100, thereby affecting the user experience; it is also used to avoid that when the temperature of the target area has been heated up for a period of time, the thermal sensation of the torso (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head, which have a greater weight on the overall thermal acceptability, is not taken into account, causing the user to feel uncomfortable due to overheating.

[0147] Optionally, the heating component 100 may be, but is not limited to, an infrared heating tube, a hot air device, or other heating devices and a heating circuit provided with a heating device. The heating component 100 includes one or more heating elements 110. When a plurality of heating elements 110 are provided, the plurality of heating elements 110 may be, but is not limited to, arranged in different positions in any direction such as the height direction of the housing 200 or the circumference direction of the housing 200.

[0148] In one embodiment, the heating component 100 includes a plurality of heating elements 110 , which are arranged along the height direction of the housing 200 , and the positions of the plurality of heating elements 110 correspond one-to-one to the positions of the plurality of target areas of the heat dissipation outlet 220 .

[0149] The minimum comfortable temperature thresholds of the multiple target parts of the human body at least include the minimum comfortable temperature threshold of the first part of the human body, the minimum comfortable temperature threshold of the second part of the human body, and the minimum comfortable temperature threshold of the third part of the human body, wherein: the minimum comfortable temperature threshold of the first part of the human body is not less than the minimum comfortable temperature threshold of the second part of the human body;

[0150] Step S200, adjusting the operating power of the heating component of the heating device according to the temperature of the target area and the preset regional comfortable temperature range so that the temperature of the target area reaches the target regional comfortable temperature range includes:

[0151] The operating power of the heating component is adjusted accordingly according to the temperature of the target area, so that the temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port is not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body.

[0152] The first part of the human body, the second part of the human body, the third part of the human body, etc. correspond to different target parts of the human body. Since the thermal sensation of the limbs, especially the lower body parts (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) has a greater weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation, and the trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head have a smaller weight of influence on the overall thermal sensation, therefore, the minimum threshold of comfortable temperature of human body parts such as limbs, especially the lower body parts (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.), the minimum threshold of comfortable temperature of human body parts such as trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head can be used as main parameters, and the minimum threshold of comfortable temperature of other human body parts can be used as auxiliary parameters to regulate the operating power of the corresponding heating element 110. Specifically, the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) and other human body parts can be determined as the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body. The operating power of the heating component is adjusted according to the temperature of the target area so that the temperature of the heat dissipation outlet target area is not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, so as to give priority to heating the limbs, especially the lower body (such as feet, calves, thighs, etc.) after starting the heating device. The trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.), head and any other human body parts are determined as the second part of the human body. When the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the trunk (such as abdomen, chest, etc.) and head is determined as the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body, the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of any one or more other human body parts can also be determined as the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the third part of the human body. The operating power of the heating element 110 at the corresponding position is adjusted according to the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of different parts of the human body, so that the temperature of the target area of ​​the heat dissipation port 220 reaches the corresponding regional comfortable temperature range and meets the heating needs of different parts of the human body. Such a setting can also achieve energy saving, reduce unnecessary heat loss and reduce energy consumption.

[0153] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned adjusting the operating power of the heating component according to the temperature of the target area so that the temperature of the heat dissipation port target area is not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body includes:

[0154] Step S211, controlling the operating power of the heating element 110 at the corresponding position to be a first operating power according to the lowest comfortable temperature threshold of the first part of the human body, and controlling the operating power of the heating element 110 at the corresponding position to be a second operating power according to the lowest comfortable temperature threshold of the second part of the human body;

[0155] Step S221: when the temperature of the target area is lower than the lowest threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, control the corresponding heating element to enter a heating state, and control the first operating power to be no less than the second operating power;

[0156] Step S231: When the temperature of the target area is not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, the corresponding heating element is controlled to enter an energy-saving state, and the first operating power and the second operating power are controlled to be reduced.

[0157] It is used to ensure that when the heating device is turned on and running, it first focuses on heating the legs, hands and other parts of the body that have a greater impact on the overall thermal sensation; when the temperature of the target area is not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, energy saving is achieved by controlling the reduction of the operating power of the heating element 110, and avoiding the heating device from dissipating heat in a single direction for a long time or continuously dissipating heat and heating at a fixed temperature, causing overheating and discomfort to the user.

[0158] When the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body is not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the third part of the human body, and the comfortable temperature of the third part of the human body is not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body, for example: the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the trunk (such as the abdomen, chest, etc.) and the head is determined as the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body, and the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of any other one or more parts of the human body is determined as the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the third part of the human body, the above-mentioned adjustment of the operating power of the heating component according to the temperature of the target area so that the temperature of the heat dissipation outlet target area is not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body includes:

[0159] Step S212: according to the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, the operating power of the heating element at the corresponding position is controlled to be the first operating power; according to the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body, the operating power of the heating element at the corresponding position is controlled to be the second operating power; according to the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the third part of the human body, the operating power of the heating element at the corresponding position is controlled to be the third operating power;

[0160] Step S222: when the temperature of the target area is lower than the lowest threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, control the corresponding heating element to enter a heating state, and control the first operating power to be not less than the third operating power, and the third operating power to be not less than the second operating power;

[0161] Step S232: When the temperature of the target area is not less than the minimum threshold of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, the corresponding heating element is controlled to enter an energy-saving state, and the first operating power, the second operating power and the third operating power are controlled to be reduced.

[0162] It is used to ensure that when the heating device is turned on and running, it first focuses on heating the legs, hands and other parts of the body that have a greater impact on the overall thermal sensation; and the operating power of the heating body is adjusted accordingly according to the heating needs of different parts of the human body.

[0163] In one embodiment, when switching from the heating state to the energy-saving state, the reduction range of the first operating power is not less than the reduction range of the third operating power, and the reduction range of the third operating power is not less than the reduction range of the second operating power, so as to achieve the purpose of energy saving while controlling the temperature drop and avoiding human discomfort.

[0164] Further, for the convenience of regulation, in one embodiment, when the temperature of the target area is not less than the lowest threshold value of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, specifically, when the temperature of the target area is not less than the lowest threshold value of the comfortable temperature of the first part of the human body, and not greater than the highest threshold value of the comfortable temperature of the second part of the human body, the heating component 100 is controlled to enter the energy-saving state, and the control to reduce the first operating power, the second operating power and the third operating power also includes:
