Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention specifically relates to a linear integrated ceiling heater with bath function. Background Art

[0002] At present, for the integrated ceiling heaters with bath function on the market, products with heating air supply and ventilation functions are equipped with a ventilation opening and an exhaust opening, and mostly adopt a double volute structure. One volute is used for heating air supply, and the other volute is used for ventilation. In order to achieve a large air supply effect, it is usually necessary to select a volute with a higher power, or to improve the air supply effect while maintaining the power of the volute unchanged. In this way, the volume of the machine body is usually relatively large. The linear integrated ceiling heater with bath function is structurally compact. Compared with general integrated ceiling heaters with bath function, it is in a long strip shape, has a narrower width, occupies less space, and has more application scenarios. How to improve the air supply effect of the linear integrated ceiling heater with bath function in a limited space is a major problem faced by the industry.

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a linear integrated ceiling heater with bath function that uses two volutes to supply air simultaneously, greatly improving the ventilation effect or heating air supply effect of the linear integrated ceiling heater with bath function, improving the utilization efficiency of the volute, and having a higher cost performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a linear integrated ceiling heater with bath function to solve the deficiency of low single-machine blowing efficiency of the linear integrated ceiling heater with bath function in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A linear integrated ceiling heater with bath function, comprising a housing, wherein the housing is provided with a ventilation opening, a ventilation channel is arranged inside the housing, the ventilation opening is arranged in the middle of the ventilation channel, and a blowing volute is arranged at each end of the ventilation channel. The air outlet of the blowing volute is communicated with the ventilation opening through the ventilation channel.

[0007] In the present invention, an air flow partition plate is arranged in the ventilation channel so that the air flows blown by the blowing volutes at both ends of the ventilation channel towards the ventilation opening do not affect each other.

[0008] Furthermore, the air flow partition plate is arranged at the ventilation opening to guide the air flow blown by the blowing volute towards the ventilation opening.

[0009] In the present invention, an air inlet is arranged on the housing, and the air inlet is arranged opposite to the air inlet of the blowing volute.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ventilation channel is of a symmetric structure, gradually narrowing from both ends to the middle; the two blowing volutes are symmetrically arranged at the wide parts at both ends of the ventilation channel; the ventilation opening is located at the bottom of the housing, and the air inlet is located at the top of the housing; the air flow partition plate is perpendicular to the ventilation opening and faces the air outlet of the blowing volute.

[0011] The present invention can be improved as follows. An air outlet is formed in the casing. An air outlet channel is provided inside the casing. Both ends of the air outlet channel are respectively communicated with the air outlet of one of the blowing volutes. The air outlet is arranged in the middle of the air outlet channel, and a heater is provided at the air outlet.

[0012] Further, the air outlet channel is provided with an air flow guiding plate, and the air flow guiding plate is formed by connecting two arc-shaped plates, so that the air flows blown from the blowing volutes at both ends of the air outlet channel towards the air outlet pass through the heater and then flow out from the air outlet without interfering with each other.

[0013] Further, the air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the casing.

[0014] The present invention can also be improved as follows. The ventilation channel is formed by connecting a common channel section and a ventilation channel section; the air outlet channel is formed by connecting a common channel section and an air outlet channel section; the common channel section is the common part of the ventilation channel and the air outlet channel. By such an arrangement, the space occupied by the channels can be saved, and the volume of the whole bathroom heater can be reduced.

[0015] Further, a switching assembly is further included. The switching assembly includes a motor and a baffle plate. The baffle plate is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, so that the air flow blown out by the blowing volute is guided to the ventilation opening or the air outlet through the switching assembly.

[0016] Further, there are two groups of the switching assemblies, and the switching assemblies are fixed at the two ends of the air flow guiding plate. By such an arrangement, the bathroom heater can operate in multiple modes. First, the two blowing volutes blow towards the air outlet simultaneously to achieve strong warm air supply; second, the two blowing volutes blow towards the ventilation opening simultaneously to achieve strong ventilation; third, one blowing volute blows towards the ventilation opening and the other blowing volute blows towards the air outlet to simultaneously perform warm air supply and ventilation.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet channel is of a symmetric structure, and the air flow guiding plates are symmetrically arranged inside the air outlet channel.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) Based on the existing bathroom heaters, the linear bathroom heater of the present invention adopts two blowing volutes and improves the air supply channel, so that the two blowing volutes can simultaneously supply air to the ventilation opening or the air outlet, thereby greatly improving the utilization rate of a single blowing volute and the air supply effect, and the linear bathroom heater has a higher cost performance per unit.

[0020] (2) The linear integrated ceiling heater of the present invention also uses a switching component to complete the switching of the air flow in the blowing volute, enabling the air flow to flow into the ventilation channel or the air outlet channel, so that it can operate in multiple modes and meet more usage requirements. When the two blowing volutes supply air to the air outlet through the air outlet channel, the effect of the integrated ceiling heater in sending warm air is improved. One integrated ceiling heater is equivalent to the function of two original integrated ceiling heaters, but the body volume only occupies the space of one integrated ceiling heater.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0033] As Figures 1-10The linear ceiling heater shown includes a housing 1, a blowing volute 2, a switching component 3, and a heater 4.

[0034] Two circular air inlets 102 are provided at the top of the housing 1, a rectangular ventilation opening 101 is provided at the bottom, and an air outlet 103 is provided on the side wall. A ventilation channel 5 is provided inside the housing 1. The ventilation channel 5 is of a symmetric structure, with the width gradually narrowing from both ends towards the middle; two blowing volutes 2 are symmetrically arranged at the wide parts at both ends inside the ventilation channel 5; the air inlet 202 of the blowing volute 2 is arranged opposite to the air inlet 102 on the housing 1. The ventilation opening 101 is arranged at the narrow part in the middle of the ventilation channel 5, and the air outlet 201 of the blowing volute 2 is communicated with the ventilation opening 101 through the ventilation channel 5. An air flow dividing plate 7 is provided at the ventilation opening 101 to guide the air flow blown by the blowing volute 2 towards the ventilation opening 101, and at the same time block the air flows of the two blowing volutes 2 to prevent the two air flows from affecting each other and causing losses. In the present invention, the two blowing volutes 2 perform the ventilation operation simultaneously, and compared with the ventilation of a single blowing volute 2, a better ventilation effect is obtained.

[0035] An air outlet channel 6 is also provided inside the housing 1. The air outlet channel 6 is of a symmetric structure. The two ends of the air outlet channel 6 are respectively communicated with the air outlet 201 of a blowing volute 2. The air outlet 103 on the side wall of the housing 1 is arranged opposite to the middle part of the air outlet channel 6, and a heater 4 is provided at the air outlet 103. The air flow guiding plate 8 is formed by connecting two arc-shaped plates. The air flow guiding plate 8 is symmetrically arranged inside the air outlet channel 6, so that the air flows blown by the blowing volutes 2 at both ends of the air outlet channel 6 are blown towards the heater 4 through the air flow guiding plate 8, and then flow through the heater 4 and flow out from the air outlet 103. The air flow guiding plate 8 guides the air flow and at the same time makes the air flows blown by the left and right blowing volutes 2 not affect each other.

[0036] In order to meet the requirement of a small-sized linear bathroom heater, the present invention improves the air exhaust channel 5 and the air outlet channel 6 so that they have a common channel section 9, thereby saving the space occupied by the internal channels of the bathroom heater. Specifically, the air exhaust channel 5 is formed by connecting the common channel section 9 and the air exhaust channel section 10; the air outlet channel 6 is formed by connecting the common channel section 9 and the air outlet channel section 11; the common channel section 9 is the common part of the air exhaust channel 5 and the air outlet channel 6. The air flow blown out by the blowing volute 2 is switched through the switching assembly 3 so that the air flow flows to the air exhaust port 101 or the air discharge port 103. The two switching assemblies 3 are respectively fixed at the two ends of the air flow guiding plate 8. The switching assembly 3 includes a motor 301 and a baffle 302. The baffle 302 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 301. By controlling the swing of the baffle 302, the air flow channel is switched. With such a setting, the bathroom heater of the present invention can operate in multiple modes through two volutes. First, the two blowing volutes 2 blow towards the air discharge port 103 simultaneously to achieve strong warm air supply; second, the two blowing volutes 2 blow towards the air exhaust port 101 simultaneously to achieve strong air exhaust; third, one blowing volute 2 blows towards the air exhaust port 101 and the other blowing volute 2 blows towards the air discharge port 103 to supply warm air and exhaust air simultaneously. When the power of a single blowing volute 2 is the same, this greatly improves the utilization rate of the structure, achieves a stronger air exhaust and warm air supply effect, and one bathroom heater can achieve the effect of two existing bathroom heaters, while only occupying the space of one bathroom heater in terms of space.
