[0041] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all 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.

[0042] In order to simplify the user's cleaning operation of the electric heater, and to perform automatic drainage, automatic drying and cleaning operations on the electric heater with heating and humidification functions, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a new electric heater, which can clean the residual water in the humidification function based on the heat generated by the heating function, and can also perform heat treatment on the corresponding area of ​​the humidification function based on the heat generated by the heating function, thereby achieving dry cleaning, avoiding residual moisture, and inhibiting bacterial growth.

[0043] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 An electric heater according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 1As shown, the electric heater 10 may include: an electric heater body 110, a main control unit 120, a heating unit 130, an atomizing unit 140, a fan unit 150 and a heat insulation valve 160; wherein:

[0044] The heating unit 130 is used to heat the environment, and the atomizing unit 140 is used to atomize water to humidify the environment;

[0045] The electric heater body 110 includes a first cavity and a second cavity, and the first cavity and the second cavity are separated by a heat-insulating valve 160; the heating unit 130 is arranged in the first cavity, and the atomizing unit 140 is arranged in the second cavity;

[0046] The main control unit 120 is used to turn on the atomization unit 140 in the self-cleaning mode to atomize water; and turn on the heating unit 130, the fan unit 150 and the insulation valve 160 to transfer the heat in the first cavity to the second cavity.

[0047] In actual application, the electric heater 10 can be composed of an electric heater body 110, a main control unit 120, a heating unit 130, an atomization unit 140 and a fan; wherein the electric heater body 110 can be the shell of the electric heater 10, which can form a cavity, and the main control unit 120, the heating unit 130, the atomization unit 140 and the fan unit 150 can be accommodated in the cavity.

[0048] Exemplarily, in order to avoid mutual influence between the heating unit 130 and the atomization unit 140, the cavity of the electric heater body 110 can be divided into two relatively independent cavities, namely a first cavity and a second cavity; wherein the first cavity can accommodate the heating unit 130, and the second cavity can accommodate the atomization unit 140.

[0049] The heating unit 130 can be used to heat the environment; specifically, the heating unit 130 is the part of the electric heater 10 that is responsible for generating heat, and usually converts electrical energy into thermal energy by means of resistance heating or thermal radiation.

[0050] The main components of the heating unit 130 include: a heating element and a radiator, wherein the heating element can be a resistance wire, a ceramic heater, a quartz tube heater, etc.

[0051] For example, resistance wire is the most common heating element, and heat is generated by passing an electric current through the resistance wire. The resistance wire is usually made of nickel-chromium alloy or iron-chromium-aluminum alloy, and has high resistivity and high temperature resistance.

[0052] Ceramic heaters generate heat by heating ceramic materials through resistance. Ceramic materials have good insulation properties and high temperature resistance.

[0053] Quartz tube heater: Quartz tube heater generates heat by heating the quartz tube through resistance. Quartz tube has good high temperature resistance and light transmittance.

[0054] The heat sink can be a heat sink, a fan, etc., wherein the heat sink is usually made of aluminum or copper and is used to transfer the heat generated by the heating element to the air. The design of the heat sink can increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The fan is used to accelerate the air flow and quickly transfer the heat to the surrounding environment. The fan is usually located above or on the side of the heat sink.

[0055] The atomizing unit 140 is the part of the electric heater 10 responsible for generating water mist, and usually converts water into tiny water mist particles by ultrasonic atomization or evaporation. The main components of the atomizing unit 140 include an atomizing plate, and the atomizing unit 140 atomizes water by vibrating the atomizing plate at high frequency.

[0056] The fan unit 150 may be disposed in the second cavity to blow the water mist generated by the atomization unit 140 into the ambient air to humidify the environment.

[0057] In actual application, some water may remain in the water tank 141 corresponding to the atomization unit 140 after each use; although the user can drain the water through the drainage hole, it is time-consuming and laborious, and difficult to drain completely; the remaining water may cause bacteria to grow on the electric heater 10.

[0058] In order to prevent the electric heater 10 from breeding bacteria due to residual water and to reduce user operations, an embodiment of the present invention may provide an insulation valve 160 between the first cavity and the second cavity. The insulation valve 160 is controlled by the main control unit 120 and can be opened or closed.

[0059] When the electric heater 10 is in the heating mode, the humidification mode, or the heating and humidification mode, the main control unit 120 can control the insulation valve 160 to close to prevent the heating unit 130 and the atomization unit 140 from affecting each other.

[0060] When the electric heater 10 is in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit 120 can open the heat insulation valve 160 to transfer the heat generated by the heating unit 130 from the first cavity to the second cavity, thereby heating the second cavity.

[0061] The water in the heated second cavity will gradually evaporate, thereby automatically draining the residual water in the electric heater 10, preventing the remaining water from causing bacteria to grow in the electric heater 10, and also saving the user's time and energy.

[0062] Specifically, the electric heater body 110 may include a first cavity and a second cavity, and the first cavity and the second cavity may be separated by a partition plate 161, and a heat-insulating valve 160 may be provided on the partition plate 161 to separate the first cavity and the second cavity. When the heat-insulating valve 160 is opened, the first cavity and the second cavity are interconnected, and when the heat-insulating valve 160 is closed, the first cavity and the second cavity are isolated.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, the electric heater 10 may include a heating mode, a humidification mode, a heating and humidification mode, and a self-cleaning mode; wherein the heating mode refers to a mode in which the electric heater 10 only provides heat energy to the environment. In this mode, the main control unit 120 can control the insulation valve 160 to close and open the heating unit 130 alone to generate heat.

[0064] The humidification mode refers to a mode in which the electric heater 10 only provides water mist to the environment. In this mode, the main control unit 120 can close the insulation valve 160, turn on the atomization unit 140 to produce water mist, and turn on the fan unit 150 to discharge the water mist produced by the atomization unit 140 into the environment to humidify the environment.

[0065] The heating and humidification mode may refer to a mode in which the electric heater 10 simultaneously provides heat energy and water mist to the environment; in this mode, the main control unit 120 can still keep the insulation valve 160 closed, and turn on the heating unit 130 to heat; and, turn on the fan unit 150 to discharge the water mist produced by the atomization unit 140 into the environment to humidify the environment.

[0066] The self-cleaning mode refers to a mode in which the electric heater 10 cleans the remaining water in the atomizing unit 140; in this mode, the main control unit 120 can, on the one hand, turn on the atomizing unit 140 to atomize the water, and on the other hand, turn on the heating unit 130, the fan unit 150 and the insulation valve 160 to transfer the heat generated by the heating unit 130 from the first cavity to the second cavity, thereby heating the remaining water in the atomizing unit 140, thereby evaporating the remaining water in the atomizing unit 140, and sterilizing the second cavity with the help of high-temperature water mist.

[0067] Specifically, the air inlet of the fan unit 150 may be directed toward the first cavity, the air outlet of the fan unit 150 may be directed toward the outlet of the second cavity, and the air duct may be disposed in the second cavity to heat each space in the second cavity and evaporate the remaining water.

[0068] During operation, the fan unit 150 can transfer the heat generated by the heating unit 130 from the first cavity to the second cavity, and then output it from the second cavity; at this point, the remaining water in the second cavity will evaporate under the action of the heat and be discharged from the outlet of the second cavity. On the other hand, after absorbing the heat, the water mist in the second cavity can be transformed into high-temperature water mist to sterilize the second cavity.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, the electric heater 10 includes an electric heater body 110, a main control unit 120, a heating unit 130, an atomizing unit 140, a fan unit 150 and a thermal insulation valve 160; the heating unit 130 is used to heat the environment, and the atomizing unit 140 is used to atomize water to humidify the environment; the electric heater body 110 includes a first cavity and a second cavity, and the first cavity and the second cavity are separated by a thermal insulation valve 160; the heating unit 130 is arranged in the first cavity, and the atomizing unit 140 is arranged in the second cavity; the main control unit 120 is used to turn on the atomizing unit 140 in the self-cleaning mode to atomize water; and, turn on the heating unit 130, the fan unit 150 and the thermal insulation valve 160 to transfer the heat in the first cavity to the second cavity. The electric heater 10 mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention can clean the residual water in the humidification function based on the heat generated by the heating function, and can also perform heat treatment on the corresponding area of ​​the humidification function based on the heat generated by the heating function, thereby achieving dry cleaning, avoiding residual moisture and inhibiting bacterial growth.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the electric heater 10 also includes:

[0071] A water level detection module 170, used to detect the water level of the water tank 141 in the second cavity;

[0072] The water injection control module 180 is used to inject water into the water tank 141 in the second cavity.

[0073] In some feasible embodiments, the electric heater 10 may further include a water level detection module 170 and a water filling control module 180; wherein the water level detection module 170 may be connected to the main control unit 120 and used to detect the water level of the water tank 141 in the second cavity to facilitate the main control unit 120 to fill the water tank 141 with water.

[0074] The water tank 141 may refer to a tank body provided in the second cavity for storing water to be used by the atomization unit 140 , which may be connected to the atomization unit 140 via a pipeline, or the atomization unit 140 may be directly placed in the water tank 141 , which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] The water level detection device can be deployed in the water tank 141 to detect the current water level of the water tank 141 in the second cavity; the water level detection device can output the current water level value of the water tank 141 to the main control unit 120 based on the detection result.

[0076] The water injection control module 180 can be connected to the water source on the one hand, and can be connected to the water tank 141 on the other hand; the main control unit 120 can add water from the water source to the water tank 141 by controlling the water injection control module 180; specifically, the main control unit 120 can obtain the water level of the water tank 141 detected by the water level detection module 170 in real time or at a preset time interval.

[0077] When the water level is too low, the main control unit 120 may activate the water injection control module 180 to inject water from the water source into the water tank 141 to replenish the water tank 141 .

[0078] During the water replenishment process, the water level detection module 170 can continue to detect the water level of the water tank 141 and send it to the main control unit 120; if the main control unit 120 detects that the water level is sufficient, it can control the water injection control module 180 to stop injecting water to avoid water overflowing from the water tank 141. The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown, the main control unit 120 is also connected to the power board 20, and the access rights of the power board 20 can be controlled based on ACL (Access Control List); the power board 20 can also communicate and transmit data between devices based on ACN (Advanced Communication Network).

[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main control unit 120 is used to open the insulation valve 160 in the self-cleaning mode, and control the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141; when the water level detection module 170 detects that the water level of the water tank 141 reaches a first water level value, the water injection control module 180 is controlled to stop injecting water, and the atomization unit 140, the heating unit 130 and the fan unit 150 are turned on; when the water level detection module 170 detects that the water level of the water tank 141 reaches a second water level value, the water injection control module 180 is controlled to inject water into the water tank 141 until the water level of the water tank 141 reaches the first water level value, and the water injection control module 180 is controlled to stop injecting water; when the water level detection module 170 detects that the water level of the water tank 141 reaches a third water level value, the atomization unit 140 is turned off;

[0081] Among them, the first water level value is greater than the second water level value, and the second water level value is greater than the third water level value.

[0082] In some feasible embodiments, in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit 120 may open the heat-insulating valve 160 to allow the first cavity to communicate with the second cavity.

[0083] In addition, in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit 120 may first control the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141 to clean the water tank 141 .

[0084] When controlling the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141, the main control unit 120 can obtain the water level of the water tank 141 detected by the water level detection module 170 from the water level detection module 170. When the water level reaches the first water level value, it can be determined that the water tank 141 has been completely injected with water; at this time, the main control unit 120 can control the water injection control module 180 to stop injecting water, and turn on the atomization unit 140 to atomize the water in the water tank 141.

[0085] On the other hand, the main control unit 120 can also turn on the heating unit 130 and the fan unit 150 to generate heat in the first cavity through the heating unit 130, and transfer the heat in the first cavity to the second cavity through the fan unit 150 to heat the water mist in the second cavity; with the help of the heat-removed water mist, the second cavity can be sterilized.

[0086] As the water level in the water tank 141 gradually decreases, the water level detection module 170 can continue to detect the water level of the water tank 141 and send it to the main control unit 120; when the main control unit 120 detects that the water level of the water tank 141 has reached the second water level value, it can again control the water filling control module 180 to fill water into the water tank 141 until the water level of the water tank 141 reaches the first water level value.

[0087] Next, the main control unit 120 may control the water injection control module 180 to stop water injection again; at this time, the fan unit 150, the heating unit 130 and the atomization unit 140 may operate normally.

[0088] With the operation of the fan unit 150, the heating unit 130 and the atomizing unit 140, the water level in the water tank 141 will decrease again until it reaches a third water level value, wherein the first water level value is greater than the second water level value, and the second water level value is greater than the third water level value.

[0089] When the water level in the water tank 141 reaches the third water level value, in order to avoid too little water, which causes the atomization unit 140 to heat up, thereby affecting the service life of the atomization unit 140 and causing safety hazards, the main control unit 120 can first turn off the atomization unit 140 and continue to keep the fan unit 150 and the heating unit 130 turned on to heat the remaining water in the water tank 141 to evaporate the remaining water in the water tank 141.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main control unit 120 is further configured to close the heating unit 130 , the fan unit 150 and the heat insulation valve 160 after a first preset time period has elapsed since the atomization unit 140 was closed.

[0091] In some feasible embodiments, in order to avoid waste of resources caused by long-term heating, a first preset time length may be set. Specifically:

[0092] In the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit 120 may open the heat-insulating valve 160 to allow the first cavity to communicate with the second cavity.

[0093] In addition, in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit 120 may first control the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141 to clean the water tank 141 .

[0094] When controlling the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141, the main control unit 120 can obtain the water level of the water tank 141 detected by the water level detection module 170 from the water level detection module 170. When the water level reaches the first water level value, it can be determined that the water tank 141 has been completely injected with water; at this time, the main control unit 120 can control the water injection control module 180 to stop injecting water, and turn on the atomization unit 140 to atomize the water in the water tank 141.

[0095] On the other hand, the main control unit 120 can also turn on the heating unit 130 and the fan unit 150 to generate heat in the first cavity through the heating unit 130, and transfer the heat in the first cavity to the second cavity through the fan unit 150 to heat the water mist in the second cavity; with the help of the heat-removed water mist, the second cavity can be sterilized.

[0096] As the water level in the water tank 141 gradually decreases, the water level detection module 170 can continue to detect the water level of the water tank 141 and send it to the main control unit 120; when the main control unit 120 detects that the water level of the water tank 141 has reached the second water level value, it can again control the water filling control module 180 to fill water into the water tank 141 until the water level of the water tank 141 reaches the first water level value.

[0097] Next, the main control unit 120 may control the water injection control module 180 to stop water injection again; at this time, the fan unit 150, the heating unit 130 and the atomization unit 140 may operate normally.

[0098] With the operation of the fan unit 150, the heating unit 130 and the atomizing unit 140, the water level in the water tank 141 will decrease again until it reaches a third water level value, wherein the first water level value is greater than the second water level value, and the second water level value is greater than the third water level value.

[0099] When the water level in the water tank 141 reaches the third water level value, in order to avoid too little water, which causes the atomization unit 140 to heat up, thereby affecting the service life of the atomization unit 140 and causing safety hazards, the main control unit 120 can first turn off the atomization unit 140 and continue to keep the fan unit 150 and the heating unit 130 turned on to heat the remaining water in the water tank 141 to evaporate the remaining water in the water tank 141.

[0100] At this time, when the atomization unit 140 is turned off, the main control unit 120 can start timing; when the timing duration reaches the first preset duration, the main control unit 120 can turn off the heating unit 130, the fan unit 150 and the insulation valve 160; at this point, the self-cleaning mode ends.

[0101] The first preset time duration may be determined based on laboratory measurements, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit its specific value.

[0102] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main control unit 120 is also used to start timing when controlling the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141; when the timing time is greater than the second preset time, the water injection control module 180 is controlled to stop injecting water.

[0103] In some feasible embodiments, when the main control unit 120 controls the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141 , the main control unit 120 may also determine whether it is necessary to control the water injection control module 180 to stop injecting water based on the injection duration.

[0104] Specifically, the main control unit 120 can start timing when the water level of the water tank 141 reaches the second water level value and starts to control the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141.

[0105] When the timing duration is greater than the second preset duration, it can be determined that the water level of the water tank 141 has reached the first water level value; at this time, the main control unit 120 can control the water injection control module 180 to stop injecting water.

[0106] On the contrary, if the timing duration is less than the second preset duration, it can be determined that the water level of the water tank 141 has not reached the first water level value; at this time, the main control unit 120 can continue to control the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141.

[0107] For example, in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit 120 may open the heat-insulating valve 160 to allow the first cavity to communicate with the second cavity.

[0108] In addition, in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit 120 may first control the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141 to clean the water tank 141 .

[0109] When controlling the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141, the main control unit 120 can obtain the water level of the water tank 141 detected by the water level detection module 170 from the water level detection module 170. When the water level reaches the first water level value, it can be determined that the water tank 141 has been completely injected with water; at this time, the main control unit 120 can control the water injection control module 180 to stop injecting water, and turn on the atomization unit 140 to atomize the water in the water tank 141.

[0110] On the other hand, the main control unit 120 can also turn on the heating unit 130 and the fan unit 150 to generate heat in the first cavity through the heating unit 130, and transfer the heat in the first cavity to the second cavity through the fan unit 150 to heat the water mist in the second cavity; with the help of the heat-removed water mist, the second cavity can be sterilized.

[0111] As the water level in the water tank 141 gradually decreases, the water level detection module 170 can continue to detect the water level of the water tank 141 and send it to the main control unit 120; when the main control unit 120 detects that the water level of the water tank 141 reaches the second water level value, it can control the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141 again and start timing.

[0112] When the timing duration is greater than the second preset duration, it can be determined that the water level of the water tank 141 has reached the first water level value; at this time, the main control unit 120 can control the water injection control module 180 to stop injecting water.

[0113] On the contrary, if the timing duration is less than the second preset duration, it can be determined that the water level of the water tank 141 has not reached the first water level value; at this time, the main control unit 120 can continue to control the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141.

[0114] When the water injection control module 180 is controlled to stop injecting water, the fan unit 150 , the heating unit 130 and the atomizing unit 140 can operate normally.

[0115] With the operation of the fan unit 150, the heating unit 130 and the atomizing unit 140, the water level in the water tank 141 will decrease again until it reaches a third water level value, wherein the first water level value is greater than the second water level value, and the second water level value is greater than the third water level value.

[0116] When the water level in the water tank 141 reaches the third water level value, in order to avoid too little water, which causes the atomization unit 140 to heat up, thereby affecting the service life of the atomization unit 140 and causing safety hazards, the main control unit 120 can first turn off the atomization unit 140 and continue to keep the fan unit 150 and the heating unit 130 turned on to heat the remaining water in the water tank 141 to evaporate the remaining water in the water tank 141.

[0117] At this time, when the atomization unit 140 is turned off, the main control unit 120 can start timing; when the timing duration reaches the first preset duration, the main control unit 120 can turn off the heating unit 130, the fan unit 150 and the insulation valve 160; at this point, the self-cleaning mode ends.

[0118] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main control unit 120 is also used to control the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141 in the humidification mode, and when the water level of the water tank 141 reaches a first water level value, the water injection control module 180 is turned off and the atomization unit 140 is turned on.

[0119] In some feasible embodiments, when the electric heater 10 is in the humidification mode, the main control unit 120 can first detect the water level of the water tank 141 based on the water level detection module 170; when the water level is lower than the first water level value, the main control unit 120 can first control the water injection control module 180 to inject water into the water tank 141.

[0120] During the water filling process, the main control unit 120 may continue to obtain the water level of the water tank 141 detected by the water level detection module 170 from the water level detection module 170 .

[0121] When it is detected that the water level of the water tank 141 reaches the first water level value, the main control unit 120 can turn off the water injection control module 180 and turn on the atomization unit 140 to humidify the environment.

[0122] In addition, in the humidification mode, the main control unit 120 can also turn on the fan unit 150 to blow the water mist generated by the atomization unit 140 into the environment, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0123] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main control unit 120 is also used to control the water filling control module 180 to fill water into the water tank 141 and start timing when the water level of the water tank 141 reaches the second water level value; when the water level of the water tank 141 reaches the first water level value, stop timing and determine the target timing duration; determine the second preset duration based on multiple target timing durations.

[0124] In some feasible embodiments, in the humidification mode, the main control unit 120 can also control the water injection control module 180 to continue injecting water into the water tank 141 when the water level of the water tank 141 reaches the second water level value, and start timing at this time.

[0125] When timing, the main control unit 120 can continue to obtain the water level of the water tank 141 from the water level detection module 170; when it is detected that the water level of the water tank 141 reaches the first water level value, the main control unit 120 can stop timing and determine the timing duration, that is, the target timing duration.

[0126] When the timing is stopped, the main control unit 120 can also control the water filling control module 180 to stop filling water into the water tank 141 .

[0127] During use, the main control unit 120 can determine multiple target timing durations; based on the multiple target timing durations, the main control unit 120 can take a maximum value therefrom, and determine a second preset duration based on the maximum value.

[0128] For example, the maximum value is t 2max , then the second preset time length can be twice t 2max , this embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0129] In one embodiment of the present invention, the electric heater 10 further includes:

[0130] The display circuit module 190 is used to display the current working status of the electric heater 10 .

[0131] In some feasible embodiments, the electric heater 10 may further include a display circuit module 190, which may be used to display the current working status of the electric heater 10, for example, it may display whether the electric heater 10 is currently in heating mode, humidification mode, heating and humidification mode, or self-cleaning mode.

[0132] In addition, when in the self-cleaning mode, the display circuit module 190 can also display the remaining time of the self-cleaning, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0133] like Figure 4 As shown, after the electric heater 10 is powered on, the main control unit 120 enters the humidification mode. The main control unit 120 controls the insulation valve 160 to close.

[0134] The main control unit 120 controls the water filling control module 180 to start filling water into the water tank 141 until the first water level value is reached.

[0135] After reaching the first water level value, the main control module controls the water injection control module 180 to stop injecting water, and controls the atomization unit 140 and the fan unit 150 to work, so as to blow the water mist into the air.

[0136] When the main control unit 120 detects that the water level in the water tank 141 reaches the second water level value, the water injection control module 180 is controlled to start water injection and start timing. The water injection is not stopped until the first water level value is reached. The timing is reset after t2. After counting the t2 values ​​for multiple times, the maximum value t 2max .

[0137] like Figure 5 As shown, after the electric heater 10 is powered on, the main control unit 120 enters the self-cleaning mode.

[0138] Afterwards, the main control unit 120 controls the thermal insulation valve 160 to open.

[0139] The main control unit 120 controls the water injection control module 180 to start injecting water until the first water level value is reached; at this time, the water injection control module 180 stops working, and the atomization unit 140 and the fan unit 150 work to blow the water mist into the air.

[0140] When the water level in the detection tank 141 reaches the second water level value, the water filling control module 180 starts filling water and starts timing, and does not stop until the water level reaches the first water level value.

[0141] Timing t2, if t2<t b , the water injection control module 180 continues to inject water; if t2>t b , the water injection control module 180 stops injecting water, and the atomizing unit 140 and the fan unit 150 work to blow the water mist into the air. b That is, the second preset duration.

[0142] If the water level in the detection tank 141 reaches a third water level value, the atomization unit 140 stops working.

[0143] Start timing, when the timing time t1>t a When the self-cleaning is completed. a That is, the first preset duration.

[0144] The fan unit 150 stops working and the heat insulation valve 160 is closed.

[0145] Based on the above electric heater, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a control method of the electric heater; Figure 6 , shows a step flow chart of a control method for an electric heater according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0146] like Figure 6 As shown, the control method of the electric heater may include the following steps:

[0147] Step 601: In the self-cleaning mode, turn on the atomization unit to atomize water.

[0148] The self-cleaning mode refers to a mode in which the electric heater cleans the remaining water in the atomization unit; in this mode, the main control unit can turn on the atomization unit to atomize the water.

[0149] Step 602: Turn on the heating unit, the fan unit and the heat-insulating valve to transfer the heat in the first cavity to the second cavity.

[0150] On the other hand, the heating unit, the fan unit and the insulation valve can be opened to transfer the heat generated by the heating unit from the first cavity to the second cavity, thereby heating the remaining water in the atomization unit, thereby evaporating the remaining water in the atomization unit, and sterilizing the second cavity with the help of high-temperature water mist.

[0151] Specifically, the air inlet of the fan unit may be directed toward the first cavity, the air outlet of the fan unit may be directed toward the outlet of the second cavity, and the air duct may be disposed in the second cavity to heat each space in the second cavity and evaporate the remaining water.

[0152] During the operation of the fan unit, the heat generated by the heating unit can be transferred from the first cavity to the second cavity, and then output from the second cavity; at this point, the remaining water in the second cavity will evaporate under the action of the heat and be discharged from the outlet of the second cavity. On the other hand, after absorbing the heat, the water mist in the second cavity can be transformed into high-temperature water mist to sterilize the second cavity.

[0153] In one embodiment of the present invention, the electric heater may further include a water level detection module and a water filling control module; wherein the water level detection module may be connected to the main control unit and used to detect the water level of the water tank in the second cavity to facilitate the main control unit to fill the water tank with water.

[0154] The water injection control module can be connected to a water source on the one hand, and to a water sink on the other hand; the main control unit can add water from the water source to the water sink by controlling the water injection control module; specifically, the main control unit can obtain the water level of the water sink detected by the water level detection module in real time or at a preset time interval.

[0155] When the water level is too low, the main control unit can turn on the water injection control module to inject water from the water source into the water tank to replenish the water tank.

[0156] During the water replenishment process, the water level detection module can continue to detect the water level of the water tank and send it to the main control unit; if the main control unit detects that the water level is sufficient, it can control the water injection control module to stop injecting water to avoid water overflowing from the water tank. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0157] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit may open the heat-insulating valve to allow the first cavity to communicate with the second cavity.

[0158] In addition, in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit can also control the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank to clean the water tank.

[0159] When controlling the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank, the main control unit can obtain the water level of the water tank detected by the water level detection module from the water level detection module. When the water level reaches the first water level value, it can be determined that the water tank has been completely injected; at this time, the main control unit can control the water injection control module to stop injecting water and turn on the atomization unit to atomize the water in the water tank.

[0160] On the other hand, the main control unit can also turn on the heating unit and the fan unit to generate heat in the first cavity through the heating unit, and transfer the heat in the first cavity to the second cavity through the fan unit to heat the water mist in the second cavity; with the help of the heat-removed water mist, the second cavity can be sterilized.

[0161] As the water level in the sink gradually decreases, the water level detection module can continue to detect the water level of the sink and send it to the main control unit; when the main control unit detects that the water level of the sink has reached the second water level value, it can again control the water injection control module to inject water into the sink until the water level of the sink reaches the first water level value.

[0162] Next, the main control unit can control the water injection control module to stop water injection again; at this time, the fan unit, the heating unit and the atomization unit can operate normally.

[0163] With the operation of the fan unit, the heating unit and the atomizing unit, the water level in the water tank will decrease again until it reaches the third water level value. When the water level in the water tank reaches the third water level value, in order to avoid the atomizing unit heating up due to too little water, which will affect the service life of the atomizing unit and cause safety hazards, the main control unit can first turn off the atomizing unit and continue to turn on the fan unit and the heating unit to heat the remaining water in the water tank to evaporate the remaining water in the water tank.

[0164] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to avoid waste of resources caused by long-term heating, a first preset time length may be set. Specifically: in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit may open the heat insulation valve to allow the first cavity to communicate with the second cavity.

[0165] In addition, in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit can also control the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank to clean the water tank.

[0166] When controlling the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank, the main control unit can obtain the water level of the water tank detected by the water level detection module from the water level detection module. When the water level reaches the first water level value, it can be determined that the water tank has been completely injected; at this time, the main control unit can control the water injection control module to stop injecting water and turn on the atomization unit to atomize the water in the water tank.

[0167] On the other hand, the main control unit can also turn on the heating unit and the fan unit to generate heat in the first cavity through the heating unit, and transfer the heat in the first cavity to the second cavity through the fan unit to heat the water mist in the second cavity; with the help of the heat-removed water mist, the second cavity can be sterilized.

[0168] As the water level in the sink gradually decreases, the water level detection module can continue to detect the water level of the sink and send it to the main control unit; when the main control unit detects that the water level of the sink has reached the second water level value, it can again control the water injection control module to inject water into the sink until the water level of the sink reaches the first water level value.

[0169] Next, the main control unit can control the water injection control module to stop water injection again; at this time, the fan unit, the heating unit and the atomization unit can operate normally.

[0170] With the operation of the fan unit, the heating unit and the atomizing unit, the water level in the water tank will decrease again until the third water level value.

[0171] When the water level in the water tank reaches the third water level value, in order to avoid too little water, which causes the atomization unit to heat up, thereby affecting the service life of the atomization unit and causing safety hazards, the main control unit can first turn off the atomization unit and continue to keep the fan unit and the heating unit turned on to heat the remaining water in the water tank to evaporate the remaining water in the water tank.

[0172] At this time, when the atomization unit is turned off, the main control unit can start timing; when the timing reaches the first preset time, the main control unit can turn off the heating unit, the fan unit and the insulation valve; at this point, the self-cleaning mode ends.

[0173] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the main control unit controls the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank, the main control unit may also determine whether it is necessary to control the water injection control module to stop injecting water based on the injection time.

[0174] Specifically, the main control unit can start timing when the water level in the water tank reaches the second water level value and starts to control the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank.

[0175] When the timing duration is greater than the second preset duration, it can be determined that the water level of the water tank has reached the first water level value; at this time, the main control unit can control the water injection control module to stop injecting water.

[0176] On the contrary, if the timing duration is less than the second preset duration, it can be determined that the water level of the water tank has not reached the first water level value; at this time, the main control unit can continue to control the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank.

[0177] Exemplarily, in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit may open the heat-insulating valve to allow the first cavity to communicate with the second cavity.

[0178] In addition, in the self-cleaning mode, the main control unit can also control the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank to clean the water tank.

[0179] When controlling the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank, the main control unit can obtain the water level of the water tank detected by the water level detection module from the water level detection module. When the water level reaches the first water level value, it can be determined that the water tank has been completely injected; at this time, the main control unit can control the water injection control module to stop injecting water and turn on the atomization unit to atomize the water in the water tank.

[0180] On the other hand, the main control unit can also turn on the heating unit and the fan unit to generate heat in the first cavity through the heating unit, and transfer the heat in the first cavity to the second cavity through the fan unit to heat the water mist in the second cavity; with the help of the heat-removed water mist, the second cavity can be sterilized.

[0181] As the water level in the water tank gradually decreases, the water level detection module can continue to detect the water level of the water tank and send it to the main control unit; when the main control unit detects that the water level of the water tank has reached the second water level value, it can control the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank again and start timing.

[0182] When the timing duration is greater than the second preset duration, it can be determined that the water level of the water tank has reached the first water level value; at this time, the main control unit can control the water injection control module to stop injecting water.

[0183] On the contrary, if the timing duration is less than the second preset duration, it can be determined that the water level of the water tank has not reached the first water level value; at this time, the main control unit can continue to control the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank.

[0184] When the water injection control module stops injecting water, the fan unit, the heating unit and the atomization unit can operate normally.

[0185] With the operation of the fan unit, the heating unit and the atomizing unit, the water level in the water tank will decrease again until the third water level value.

[0186] When the water level in the water tank reaches the third water level value, in order to avoid too little water, which causes the atomization unit to heat up, thereby affecting the service life of the atomization unit and causing safety hazards, the main control unit can first turn off the atomization unit and continue to keep the fan unit and the heating unit turned on to heat the remaining water in the water tank to evaporate the remaining water in the water tank.

[0187] At this time, when the atomization unit is turned off, the main control unit can start timing; when the timing reaches the first preset time, the main control unit can turn off the heating unit, the fan unit and the insulation valve; at this point, the self-cleaning mode ends.

[0188] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the electric heater is in humidification mode, the main control unit can first detect the water level of the water tank based on the water level detection module; when the water level is lower than the first water level value, the main control unit can first control the water injection control module to inject water into the water tank.

[0189] During the water filling process, the main control unit can continue to obtain the water level of the water tank detected by the water level detection module from the water level detection module.

[0190] When it is detected that the water level of the water tank reaches a first water level value, the main control unit can turn off the water injection control module and turn on the atomization unit to humidify the environment.

[0191] In addition, in the humidification mode, the main control unit may also turn on the fan unit to blow the water mist generated by the atomization unit into the environment, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0192] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the humidification mode, the main control unit can also control the water injection control module to continue injecting water into the water tank when the water level of the water tank reaches the second water level value, and start timing at this time.

[0193] When the main control unit is timing, it can continue to obtain the water level of the tank from the water level detection module; when it is detected that the water level of the tank reaches the first water level value, the main control unit can stop timing and determine the timing duration, that is, the target timing duration.

[0194] When the timing is stopped, the main control unit can also control the water filling control module to stop filling water into the water tank.

[0195] During use, the main control unit can determine multiple target timing durations; based on the multiple target timing durations, the main control unit can take a maximum value therefrom, and determine a second preset duration based on the maximum value.

[0196] In one embodiment of the present invention, the electric heater may further include a display circuit module, which may be used to display the current working state of the electric heater, for example, it may display whether the electric heater is currently in a heating mode, a humidification mode, a heating and humidification mode, or a self-cleaning mode. In addition, when in the self-cleaning mode, the display circuit module may also display the remaining time of the self-cleaning, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0197] In the embodiment of the present invention, the electric heater is in the self-cleaning mode, the atomizing unit is turned on to atomize water; the heating unit, the fan unit and the heat insulation valve are turned on to transfer the heat in the first cavity to the second cavity. The electric heater mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention can clean the residual water in the humidification function based on the heat generated by the heating function, and can also perform heat treatment on the corresponding area of ​​the humidification function based on the heat generated by the heating function, so as to achieve dry cleaning, avoid residual water and inhibit bacterial growth.
