[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to an electric heater. Background Art

[0002] Electric heater is a product that can convert electrical energy into thermal energy. It has the advantages of being inexpensive, good quality, and easy to use, and has been recognized by consumers.

[0003] In the related art, some electric heaters are provided with clothes drying rods, which not only meet the heating needs of users but also have the functions of drying clothes, warming clothes and removing moisture. However, the clothes drying rod of such electric heaters is usually fixed to the main body of the electric heater by bolts, and such clothes drying racks are not easy to disassemble and assemble, resulting in the electric heater occupying a large space as a whole, which is not conducive to improving user experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an electric heater to solve the problem that the clothes drying rod of the electric heater in the related art is inconvenient to store, resulting in the electric heater occupying a large space as a whole, which is not conducive to improving the user experience.

[0005] The present invention provides an electric heater, comprising:

[0006] The electric heating device is provided with a mounting groove, and a first locking hole is provided on the groove wall of the mounting groove;

[0008] The locking piece comprises a locking portion and an elastic portion, wherein the elastic portion and the locking portion are arranged in the mounting cavity; the locking piece has a locking state and an unlocking state, wherein in the locking state, the elastic portion can drive the locking portion to pass through the first locking hole and the second locking hole to limit the clothes drying rack in the mounting groove, and when the locking piece is in the unlocking state, the locking portion can be forced to retract into the second locking hole.

[0009] Beneficial effect: When the clothes rack of the electric heater of the present invention is in use, the bottom of the clothes rack can be inserted into the installation groove, and the locking part of the locking piece can be pushed into the first locking hole and the second locking hole under the action of the elastic part, thereby limiting the clothes rack in the installation groove and ensuring that the clothes rack is reliably limited on the electric heating device.

[0010] When the electric heater needs to be stored, or the clothes rack is not in use, the locking portion can be forced to compress the elastic portion and retract into the second locking hole, thereby releasing the locking connection between the clothes rack and the electric heating device, allowing the operator to pull the clothes drying rod out of the mounting groove, and then separate the clothes rack from the electric heating device and store the clothes rack, thereby reducing the space occupied by the entire electric heater and helping to improve the user experience.

[0011] Therefore, the electric heater of the present invention allows the operator to install the clothes rack on the electric heating device when the clothes rack is in use, and to separate the clothes rack from the electric heating device when the electric heater needs to be stored or the clothes rack is not in use. This can avoid the clothes rack increasing the space occupied by the electric heater, and the disassembly and assembly process of the clothes rack is simple and convenient, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the electric heater further includes an unlocking component, and the unlocking component includes:

[0013] The mounting portion is connected to the electric heating device and is disposed at the first locking hole; the unlocking button passes through the mounting portion and acts on the locking portion;

[0014] The elastic member is supported between the mounting portion and the elastic portion, and can drive the unlocking button to move in a direction of disengaging from the first locking hole.

[0015] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, when the clothes drying rack needs to be separated from the electric heating device, the operator can press the unlocking button and compress the elastic part so that the unlocking button extends into the first locking hole and the locking part retracts into the second locking hole, thereby switching the locking part to the unlocking state and releasing the connection between the electric heating device and the clothes drying rack.

[0016] When the clothes rack is in use, the elastic member can support the unlocking button through its own elastic force, so that the pressing portion can be located outside the first locking hole and the locking portion can enter the first locking hole, thereby locking the clothes rack and the electric heating device.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, an anti-detachment structure is further provided between the unlocking component and the electric heating device, and the anti-detachment structure is used to prevent the unlocking component from detaching from the electric heating device.

[0021] Beneficial effect: Through such a configuration, when the unlocking button moves in a direction away from the second locking hole under the action of the elastic member, the anti-slip protrusion can abut against the mounting portion on the side away from the unlocking button, thereby preventing the unlocking button from falling off the mounting portion.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, a through hole is provided on the mounting portion, the unlocking button includes a button body and a pressing portion connected to each other, the pressing portion passes through the through hole and acts on the locking portion, and the unlocking component further includes:

[0023] The limiting rib is arranged around the outer periphery of the through hole and extends toward the unlocking button. The elastic member is arranged in the limiting rib and surrounds the outside of the pressing portion.

[0024] Beneficial effect: Through such a configuration, the limiting ribs can not only be used to limit the elastic member to prevent the elastic member from being displaced in assembly, but also can play a role in controlling the travel of the unlocking button. The limiting ribs can abut against the unlocking button after the unlocking button is pressed into place, thereby preventing the insertion depth of the top pressing part from being too deep, causing the locking member to be crushed; or the movement travel of the unlocking button is too small, causing the locking member to be unable to be switched to the unlocking state.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, a button groove is provided on the mounting portion, the button groove is recessed in a direction close to the first locking hole, and the unlocking button is provided in the button groove.

[0026] Beneficial effect: The button groove can accommodate the unlock button, thereby preventing the unlock button from protruding from the surface of the mounting portion, thereby damaging the aesthetics of the electric heater.

[0075] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0076] Combine the following Figures 1 to 14 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0077] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an electric heater is provided, comprising an electric heating device 1 , a clothes drying rack 2 and a locking member 3 .

[0078] The electric heating device 1 is provided with a mounting groove 101, and a first locking hole 1011 is provided on the groove wall of the mounting groove 101. The clothes drying rack 2 can be inserted into the mounting groove 101, and is provided with a mounting cavity 201 and a second locking hole 202 that are connected to each other. The locking member 3 includes a locking portion 301 and an elastic portion 302, and the elastic portion 302 and the locking portion 301 are arranged in the mounting cavity 201; the locking member 3 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the elastic portion 302 can drive the locking portion 301 to pass through the first locking hole 1011 and the second locking hole 202 to limit the clothes drying rack 2 in the mounting groove 101. When the locking member 3 is in the unlocked state, the locking portion 301 can be forced to retract into the second locking hole 202.

[0079] When the clothes drying rack 2 of the electric heater of the present invention is in use, the bottom of the clothes drying rack 2 can be inserted into the installation groove 101, and the locking portion 301 of the locking member 3 can be pushed into the first locking hole 1011 and the second locking hole 202 under the action of the elastic portion 302, thereby limiting the clothes drying rack 2 in the installation groove 101, ensuring that the clothes drying rack 2 is reliably limited on the electric heater 1.

[0080] When the electric heater needs to be stored, or the clothes rack 2 is not in use, the locking portion 301 can be forced to compress the elastic portion 302 and retract into the second locking hole 202, thereby releasing the locking connection between the clothes rack 2 and the electric heating device 1, allowing the operator to pull the clothes drying rod 2042 out of the mounting groove 101, and then separate the clothes rack 2 from the electric heating device 1, and store the clothes rack 2, thereby reducing the space occupied by the entire electric heater and helping to improve the user experience.

[0081] Therefore, the electric heater of the present invention allows the operator to install the clothes rack 2 on the electric heating device 1 when the clothes rack 2 is in use, and to separate the clothes rack 2 from the electric heating device 1 when the electric heater needs to be stored or the clothes rack 2 is not in use. This can avoid the clothes rack 2 increasing the space occupied by the electric heater, and the disassembly and assembly process of the clothes rack 2 is simple and convenient, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0082] In one embodiment, the mounting groove 101 is a cylindrical hole that can match the bottom of the clothes rack 2, and can limit the clothes rack 2 in an accommodating manner, so that the clothes rack 2 is more stable during use.

[0083] In one embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the elastic portion 302 is an elastic folding plate, one end of which abuts against the cavity wall of the installation cavity 201 , and the other end is connected to the locking portion 301 .

[0084] When the clothes drying rack 2 is inserted into the installation groove 101 , the locking portion 301 can pass through the second locking hole 202 and the first locking hole 1011 in sequence under the pressure of the elastic folding plate, thereby locking the clothes drying rack 2 in the installation groove 101 .

[0085] When it is necessary to separate the clothes drying rack 2 from the electric heater 1 , the operator can press the locking portion 301 so that the locking portion 301 compresses the elastic folding plate and retracts into the second locking hole 202 , thereby releasing the locking connection between the clothes drying rack 2 and the electric heater 1 .

[0086] The locking portion 301 may be a locking column.

[0087] As a convertible embodiment, the locking portion 301 may also be a locking pin or a locking head.

[0088] As an alternative implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the elastic portion 302 is a spring.

[0089] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the electric heater further comprises an unlocking assembly 4. The unlocking assembly 4 is telescopically arranged at the first locking hole 1011, and can switch the locking member 3 to an unlocking state when extending into the first locking hole 1011.

[0090] In one embodiment, the electric heating device 1 is further provided with a mounting portion 102 . The mounting portion 102 is blocked at the first locking hole 1011 , and a through hole 1021 is provided at a position corresponding to the first locking hole 1011 .

[0091] The unlocking assembly 4 includes an unlocking button 401 and an elastic member 402 .

[0092] The unlock button 401 is provided with a pressing portion 403. The pressing portion 403 can pass through the through hole 1021 and abut against the locking portion 301. The elastic member 402 is supported between the mounting portion 102 and the unlock button 401, and can drive the pressing portion 403 to move in a direction away from the first locking hole 1011.

[0093] Through such an arrangement, when it is necessary to separate the clothes drying rack 2 from the electric heating device 1, the operator can press the unlocking button 401 and compress the elastic member 402 so that the pressing portion 403 extends into the first locking hole 1011 and the locking portion 301 retracts into the second locking hole 202, thereby switching the locking member 3 to the unlocking state and releasing the connection between the electric heating device 1 and the clothes drying rack 2.

[0094] When the clothes rack 2 is in use, the elastic member 402 can support the unlocking button 401 through its own elastic force, so that the pressing portion 403 can be located outside the first locking hole 1011, and the locking portion 301 can enter the first locking hole 1011, thereby locking the clothes rack 2 and the electric heating device 1 together.

[0095] In one embodiment, an anti-detachment structure 5 is further provided between the unlocking assembly 4 and the electric heating device 1 , and the anti-detachment structure 5 is used to prevent the unlocking assembly 4 from detaching from the electric heating device 1 .

[0096] In one embodiment, the anti-drop structure 5 includes a limiting hole 501 and an insert arm 502 .

[0097] The limiting hole 501 is provided on the mounting portion 102. The insert arm 502 is provided on the unlocking button 401 and can pass through the limiting hole 501. The insert arm 502 is provided with an anti-dropping protrusion 503, which is located on a side of the mounting portion 102 away from the unlocking button 401 and can abut against the mounting portion 102.

[0098] By such arrangement, when the unlocking button 401 moves in a direction away from the second locking hole 202 under the action of the elastic member 402, the anti-slip protrusion 503 can abut against the mounting portion 102 on the side away from the unlocking button 401, thereby preventing the unlocking button 401 from falling off the mounting portion 102.

[0099] In one embodiment, the insert arms 502 are arranged in pairs and are respectively arranged on both sides of the pressing portion 403, so that the telescopic movement of the unlocking button 401 can be more stable.

[0100] As a convertible implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, a button groove 1022 is provided on the mounting portion 102, the button groove 1022 is recessed in a direction close to the first locking hole 1011, and the unlocking button 401 is disposed in the button groove 1022. The anti-slip structure 5 includes a limiting convex edge provided on the outer periphery of the button groove 1022. When the unlocking button 401 moves in a direction away from the first locking hole 1011 under the action of the elastic member 402, the limiting convex edge can abut against the unlocking button 401, thereby preventing the unlocking button 401 from slipping off from the mounting portion 102.

[0101] In one embodiment, the unlocking assembly 4 further includes a limiting rib 1023 . The limiting rib 1023 is disposed around the outer periphery of the through hole 1021 and extends toward the button body. The elastic member 402 is disposed inside the limiting rib 1023 and surrounds the outside of the pressing portion 403 .

[0102] By setting it up like this, Fig. 9As shown, the limiting rib 1023 can not only be used to limit the elastic member 402 to prevent the elastic member 402 from being displaced in assembly, but also can play a role in controlling the travel of the unlocking button 401. The limiting rib 1023 can abut against the unlocking button 401 after the unlocking button 401 is pressed into place, thereby preventing the insertion depth of the pressing portion 403 from being too deep, causing the locking member 3 to be crushed; or the movement travel of the unlocking button 401 is too small, causing the locking member 3 to be unable to be switched to the unlocking state.

[0103] The elastic member 402 is preferably, but not limited to, a spring.

[0104] In one embodiment, a button groove 1022 is disposed on the mounting portion 102 . The button groove 1022 is recessed toward a direction close to the second locking hole 202 . The unlocking button 401 is disposed in the button groove 1022 .

[0105] The button groove 1022 can accommodate the unlock button 401, thereby preventing the unlock button 401 from protruding from the surface of the mounting portion 102, thereby damaging the aesthetics of the electric heater.

[0106] In a preferred embodiment, when the anti-drop protrusion 503 abuts against the mounting portion 102, the outer surface of the unlocking button 401 is flush with the surface of the mounting portion 102, which can further enhance the aesthetics of the electric heater.

[0107] In one embodiment, Figure 6 and Fig.10 As shown, the electric heater also includes a storage structure 6.

[0108] The storage structure 6 is arranged on the electric heating device 1; the clothes drying rack 2 includes a supporting section 203 and a clothes drying section 204, and the supporting section 203 and the clothes drying section 204 are detachably connected. The clothes drying rack 2 has a clothes drying state and a storage state. When the clothes drying section 204 is in the clothes drying state, the supporting section 203 is connected to the mounting groove 101, and the clothes drying section 204 is connected to the top of the supporting section 203. When the clothes drying rack 2 is in the storage state, at least the supporting section 203 is placed horizontally in the storage structure 6.

[0109] Through such an arrangement, the operator can separate the supporting section 203 from the clothes drying section 204 after removing the clothes drying rack 2 from the electric heating device 1, and then place the supporting section 203 horizontally in the storage structure 6. Therefore, the storage structure 6 stores the clothes drying rack 2, thereby preventing the clothes drying rack 2 from being lost after being separated from the mounting groove 101, and can reduce the space required for the clothes drying rack 2.

[0110] In one embodiment, the storage structure 6 includes a supporting section 601 and an anti-slip section 602 .

[0111] The first end of the supporting section 601 is connected to the electric heating device 1. The anti-slip section 602 is connected to the second section of the supporting section 601 and extends upward. The supporting section 203 of the clothes drying rack 2 can be arranged on the supporting section 601 and between the anti-slip section 602 and the electric heating device 1.

[0112] By such arrangement, the support section 203 can be placed on the supporting section 601 and clamped between the anti-slip section 602 and the electric heater 1, so that the support section 203 is placed horizontally on the electric heater 1, thereby reducing the space occupied by the clothes drying rack 2.

[0113] In one embodiment, the electric heater includes a pair of mounting slots 101, and the clothes drying section 204 includes a clothes drying rod 2042 and a connecting section 2041. The connecting sections 2041 are arranged in pairs and are respectively arranged at both ends of the clothes drying rod 2042. The connecting sections 2041 are detachably connected to the supporting section 203, and when the clothes drying rod 2042 is in the storage state, the two connecting sections 2041 are respectively inserted into one mounting slot 101.

[0114] Through such an arrangement, the operator can place the supporting section 203 horizontally in the storage structure 6 after removing the clothes drying rack 2 from the installation groove 101, and store the clothes drying rod 2042 in the installation groove 101, thereby using the installation groove 101 to store the clothes drying section 204. Since the clothes drying section 204 itself has a small size in the vertical direction, it can be hidden in the back of the electric heating device 1 after being stored in the installation groove 101, and will not protrude from the electric heating device 1, thereby increasing the space occupied by the electric heater or destroying the aesthetics of the electric heater.

[0115] In one embodiment, Figure 12 to Figure 14 As shown, the connecting section 2041 can be sleeved outside the supporting section 203, and a third locking hole 20411 is provided on the connecting section 2041; a second mounting cavity 201 and a fourth locking hole 2031 which are interconnected are provided on the supporting section 203, a locking spring 2032 is provided in the second mounting cavity 201, and has an elastic portion 302 and a locking portion 301, the elastic portion 302 is supported between a side cavity wall of the second mounting cavity 201 and the locking portion 301, and can drive the locking portion 301 to pass through the fourth locking hole 2031 and the third locking hole 20411.

[0116] Through such a configuration, when it is necessary to connect the connecting section 2041 with the supporting section 203, the operator can plug the connecting section 2041 into the supporting section 203 and make the third locking hole 20411 aligned with the fourth locking hole 2031. At this time, the locking buckle 2032 can pass through the fourth locking hole 2031 and the third locking hole 20411 under the action of the second elastic part 302, thereby locking and connecting the connecting section 2041 with the supporting section 203.

[0117] When the connecting section 2041 needs to be separated from the supporting section 203, the operator can press the locking spring buckle 2032 and retract the locking spring buckle 2032 into the fourth locking hole 2031 to release the connection between the connecting section 2041 and the supporting section 203. The disassembly and assembly process of the clothes drying rack 2 of the embodiment of the present application is simple and quick, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0118] In one embodiment, the electric heating device 1 includes a heater body 103 and a stand assembly 104 .

[0119] The stand assembly 104 is disposed below the heater body 103 to support the heater body 103. The mounting groove 101 and the storage structure 6 are formed on the stand assembly 104.

[0120] By such an arrangement, the stand assembly 104 can not only play the original supporting function, but also can be used to set the clothes drying rack 2 and the storage structure 6, thereby reducing the number of parts of the electric heater, and further reducing the cost investment of parts molds, which helps to improve product production efficiency.

[0121] In one embodiment, a limiting protrusion 1012 is provided on one of the inner wall of the mounting groove 101 and the clothes drying rack 2, and a limiting groove is provided on the other of the inner wall of the mounting groove 101 and the clothes drying rack 2. When the clothes drying rack 2 is arranged in the mounting groove 101, the limiting protrusion 1012 is arranged in the limiting groove.

[0122] The limiting protrusion 1012 can limit the position of the clothes drying rack 2 after the clothes drying rack 2 is inserted into the installation groove 101 to prevent the clothes drying rack 2 from rotating relative to the installation groove 101 during use, thereby improving the stability of the clothes drying rack 2.

[0123] Next, the use process of the electric heater of the present invention embodiment is described:

[0124] During assembly, the operator aligns the bottom of the clothes rack 2 with the mounting groove 101 on the tripod assembly 104 and inserts it into the mounting groove 101. During the insertion process, the guide protrusion can cooperate with the guide groove, thereby guiding the second locking hole 202 on the clothes rack 2 to be aligned with the first locking hole 1011 in the mounting groove 101.

[0125] When the second locking hole 202 is aligned with the first locking hole 1011, the locking piece 3 at the lower part of the clothes drying rod 2042 reaches the corresponding position of the first locking hole 1011, and the locking part 301 extends into the first locking hole 1011 under the action of the elastic part 302, thereby fixing the clothes drying rack 2 and the tripod assembly 104.

[0126] When the clothes drying rack 2 needs to be removed, the operator can press the finger on the unlocking button 401, and the unlocking button 401 carries the pressing part 403 to lock the part 301, so that the locking part 301 is disengaged from the first locking hole 1011. At this time, the operator pulls the clothes drying rack 2 upward to pull the clothes drying rack 2 out of the installation groove 101.

[0127] After the operator releases the unlocking button 401 , the unlocking button 401 automatically resets under the action of the elastic member 402 .

[0128] In one embodiment, Fig.11 As shown, the electric heater further includes a counterweight 7. The counterweight 7 is arranged in the stand assembly 104, and includes a second counterweight portion 702 and a first counterweight portion 701, wherein the second counterweight portion 702 is located below the heater body 103, and the first counterweight portion 701 is located below the clothes drying rack 2, and the weight of the first counterweight portion 701 is greater than the weight of the second counterweight portion 702.

[0129] For the sake of convenience of description, the side of the electric heater provided with the electric heater body 103 is defined as the front side of the electric heater, and the side of the electric heater provided with the clothes rack 2 is defined as the back side of the electric heater. The electric heater provided with the clothes rack 2 is most likely to tip over toward the front and form an angle with the ground.

[0130] The counterweight 7 includes a second counterweight portion 702 disposed under the heater body 103 , and a first counterweight portion 701 disposed under the clothes drying rod 2042 , and the weight of the second counterweight portion 702 is greater than the weight of the first counterweight portion 701 .

[0131] Through such an arrangement, the overall center of the electric heater is biased toward the rear side, thereby preventing the electric heater from tipping toward the front side, thereby improving the stability of the electric heater.

[0132] Therefore, the electric heater of the embodiment of the present invention can overcome the defect in the related art that the electric heater provided with the clothes drying rack 2 is prone to tipping over after hanging clothes, and can improve the reliability of the electric heater.

[0133] In one embodiment, the counterweight 7 is a bar-shaped counterweight 7 , the second counterweight portion 702 and the first counterweight portion 701 are integrally formed, and a weight-reducing portion is provided on the second counterweight portion 702 .

[0134] By such arrangement, the weight-reducing portion can reduce the weight of the second counterweight portion 702 of the counterweight 7, thereby causing the overall center of gravity of the electric heater to be biased toward the rear side.

[0135] The bar-shaped counterweight 7 can be selected as a metal block, such as a cast iron block, a lead block or an aluminum block.

[0136] As an alternative embodiment, the counterweight 7 can also be selected as a concrete block.

[0137] In one embodiment, the heater body 103 and the clothes drying rack 2 are sequentially arranged along the width direction of the electric heater, and the weight reduction portion is a notch 7021 formed on the second counterweight portion 702 along the length direction of the electric heater.

[0138] By such an arrangement, the weight of the counterweight 7 is uniform along the length direction of the electric heater, thereby ensuring that after assembly, the center of gravity of the electric heater along the length direction is centered, and the electric heater is not easy to overturn regardless of pushing the top of the clothes drying rack 2 from the left or right side of the electric heater.

[0139] In one embodiment, the counterweight 7 is connected to the tripod assembly 104 via fasteners 8 .

[0140] In one embodiment, the counterweights 7 are arranged in pairs and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the center line of the electric heater along the width direction.

[0141] By such an arrangement, the weight of the counterweight 7 is uniform along the length direction of the electric heater, thereby ensuring that after assembly, the center of gravity of the electric heater along the length direction is centered, and the electric heater is not easy to overturn regardless of pushing the top of the clothes drying rack 2 from the left or right side of the electric heater.

[0142] The weight-reducing portion may be formed on the counterweight 7 by cutting or casting.

[0143] As a convertible implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the weight reduction portion can also be formed on the counterweight 7 by drilling or the like.

[0144] In one embodiment, a receiving groove is provided at the bottom of the tripod assembly 104, and the counterweight 7 is disposed in the receiving groove.

[0145] By such arrangement, the counterweight 7 is hidden inside the tripod assembly 104 and will not affect the aesthetics of the heater.

[0146] As a convertible implementation, the counterweight 7 is arranged on the upper surface of the stand assembly 104 , and the clothes drying rack 2 and the electric heater body 103 are arranged on the counterweight 7 .

[0147] As another alternative embodiment, the counterweight 7 is disposed on the bottom surface of the tripod assembly 104 .

[0148] In one embodiment, a downwardly recessed limiting rib 1041 is formed on the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the limiting rib 1041 is disposed in the notch 7021 .

[0149] By such arrangement, the notch 7021 can not only be used to reduce the weight of the second counterweight portion 702 of the counterweight 7 , but can also be used to cooperate with the limiting rib 1041 to limit the counterweight 7 .

[0150] To sum up, the electric heater of the embodiment of the present invention allows the operator to install the clothes rack 2 on the electric heating device 1 when the clothes rack 2 is in use, and to separate the clothes rack 2 from the electric heating device 1 when the electric heater needs to be stored or the clothes rack 2 is not in use. This can avoid the clothes rack 2 increasing the space occupied by the electric heater, and the disassembly and assembly process of the clothes rack 2 is simple and convenient, which helps to improve the user experience.
