Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to care devices and care methods. Background Technology

[0002] While traditional clothes dryers can effectively dry large items of clothing, they are not only uneconomical for small items such as handkerchiefs or towels, but also often produce unsatisfactory results.

[0003] In daily life, damp towels and handkerchiefs, if not dried promptly, can easily breed bacteria and produce unpleasant odors, affecting users' health and quality of life. On the other hand, many users prefer to feel a warm touch every time they use towels and handkerchiefs, especially in cold seasons, where warm towels and handkerchiefs provide great comfort.

[0004] However, in the current small care devices on the market, towels and handkerchiefs are located directly above the fan and heating element during the drying process. The fan blows hot air directly onto the towels or handkerchiefs to dry or heat them. During the heating or drying process, water droplets on the towels or handkerchiefs will drip directly onto the fan or heating element, which can easily cause electrical faults in the fan or heating element, thereby affecting the normal use and safety of the care device.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a nursing device and method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a care device that prevents water droplets from towels or handkerchiefs from dripping directly onto the heating element, thereby reducing the risk of electrical failure of the heating element and ensuring the safety of the care device.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] Nursing devices, including:

[0009] shell;

[0010] A first partition is disposed inside the outer shell, which divides the space inside the outer shell into a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity. The first receiving cavity is provided with an air outlet, and the second receiving cavity is provided with an air inlet. The first receiving cavity is used to place items to be heated or dried.

[0011] A heating component is disposed in the second receiving cavity. The first partition has a first vent and a first non-porous area. The heating component corresponds to the first non-porous area. The first vent is used to allow hot air generated by the heating component to enter the first receiving cavity.

[0012] During drying or heating, the heating element draws in cool air from the environment into the second receiving cavity through the air inlet. The cool air is then heated into hot air, which is blown into the first receiving cavity through the first vent. This effectively dries or heats items such as towels and handkerchiefs, preventing bacterial growth and odors. Furthermore, towels and handkerchiefs can be placed in the first receiving cavity of the care device for heating, providing a warm touch and improving the user's quality of life. The non-porous area on the first partition corresponds to the heating element, preventing water droplets from directly dripping onto the heating element, thus reducing the risk of electrical malfunction and ensuring the safety of the care device.

[0013] Optionally, the nursing device further includes a second partition, which is disposed in the second receiving cavity. An air guide channel is formed between the second partition and the first partition. The second partition is provided with a second vent and a second non-porous area. The second non-porous area corresponds to the first vent. One side of the second vent corresponds to the heating component, and the other side corresponds to the first non-porous area. The air guide channel is used to guide the hot air generated by the heating component into the first receiving cavity.

[0014] The air guide channel can effectively guide the hot air generated by the heating element into the first receiving cavity, reducing the loss of hot air and improving drying and heating efficiency. Furthermore, the first and second vents of the air guide channel are staggered, with one side of the second vent corresponding to the heating element and the other side corresponding to the first non-porous area, further preventing water droplets from contacting the heating element, reducing the risk of electrical failure, and improving the safety and reliability of the care device.

[0015] Optionally, the first end of the second partition is higher than the second end of the second partition, the second vent is disposed at the first end of the second partition, the second end of the second partition is provided with a drain hole, and the second non-porous area is located between the drain hole and the second vent.

[0016] The second partition is inclined inside the second receiving cavity, so that the second non-porous area on the second partition can catch water droplets from towels or handkerchiefs. Relying on the gravity of the water droplets, the water droplets flow along the inclined surface of the second non-porous area and finally fall into the second receiving cavity from the drain hole. This prevents water droplets from falling onto the floor of the bathroom or toilet, improves the cleanliness and tidiness of the environment, and enhances the user experience.

[0017] Optionally, the care device further includes a third partition disposed within the second receiving cavity, the second partition, the third partition, and the outer shell forming a third receiving cavity, and the heating assembly disposed within the third receiving cavity.

[0018] The third partition separates the water in the second cavity from the heating element, reducing the risk of heating element failure caused by water accumulation and extending the service life of the heating element.

[0019] Optionally, the heating assembly includes:

[0020] Drive motor;

[0021] The blades are connected to the output shaft of the drive motor via a transmission.

[0022] The heating element is disposed in the second receiving cavity opposite to the blade.

[0023] A drive motor rotates blades to blow unheated air to the heating element. After being heated by the heating element, the air is blown into the first receiving cavity through the first vent to dry or heat towels or handkerchiefs inside. This heating component design not only improves the efficiency of hot air generation and transmission but also optimizes the performance of the care device and the user experience.

[0024] Optionally, the heating element includes a frame and heating elements, the frame being disposed opposite to the blade and connected to the outer shell, and a plurality of heating elements being evenly distributed on the frame.

[0025] The connection between the frame and the outer shell provides stable support for the heating element, ensuring its stability. Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame is a ring-shaped frame, with multiple heating elements evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the ring frame. This increases the contact area between the heating element and the air, helping to shorten the drying or heating cycle and thus improving the drying or heating efficiency.

[0026] Optionally, the heating element comprises a PTC heating block or a semiconductor block. A PTC heating block or semiconductor block is a ceramic-based electrical component whose resistance changes with temperature; specifically, its positive temperature coefficient allows current to flow better at low temperatures than at high temperatures. As the temperature rises, the natural resistance of the PTC heating block or semiconductor block increases, while its current conductivity and power output decrease until an equilibrium state is reached where current flow almost ceases. Due to the self-regulating characteristics of this electrical component, the PTC heating block or semiconductor block will not overheat, thus making the heating process safer and more reliable.

[0027] Specifically, the top of the housing has an opening, and a cover plate seals the opening. One end of the cover plate is rotatably connected to the housing via a pin, and the other end is snapped into the housing. By opening or closing the cover plate, users can easily place towels, handkerchiefs, etc., into or remove them from the first receiving cavity, improving ease of use. The housing and base are detachably connected, facilitating the cleaning of water in the second receiving cavity and preventing bacterial growth. Specifically, the bottom of the housing has one of a buckle or a slot, and the base has the other. When the housing is placed on the base, the buckle engages in the slot. This snap-fit ​​connection between the housing and the base eliminates the need for cumbersome operations or professional tools when cleaning water in the second receiving cavity, allowing users to perform maintenance themselves, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0028] Optionally, the outer casing includes a cover plate, a housing, and a base, with the cover plate and the base respectively disposed at both ends of the housing, and the cover plate and the base being detachably connected to the housing.

[0029] Optionally, the base has multiple suction cup feet on the side opposite to the second receiving cavity. These suction cup feet allow the care device to be adhered to the ground, improving its stability.

[0030] Optionally, in this embodiment, the air inlet includes a bottom air inlet and / or a side air inlet, and the air outlet is located on the top cover plate.

[0031] In this embodiment, the base is provided with a bottom air inlet, the side walls of the second accommodating cavity are provided with side air inlets, and the cover plate is provided with an air outlet. The multi-air inlet design increases the air volume drawn in by the heating component, which can heat more gas and deliver it to the first accommodating space in a short time, which helps to speed up the heating or drying process, shorten the required time, and improve the drying or heating efficiency.

[0032] In one embodiment, a bottom air inlet is provided on the base and an air outlet is provided on the cover plate, which can form an airflow path from bottom to top. This effectively utilizes the principle of hot air rising, so that hot air passes evenly through the items to be heated or dried, thereby improving the drying or heating efficiency.

[0033] The purpose of this invention is to provide a care method that allows users to clearly understand the drying process without frequently checking the condition of the items to be heated or dried, and effectively ensures the quality of drying or heating.

[0034] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0035] The nursing method, using the aforementioned nursing device, includes:

[0036] Set the heating temperature t1 of the heating element and start the heating or drying program;

[0037] The air inlet temperature t2 and the air outlet temperature t3 are obtained. It is determined whether the air outlet temperature t3 reaches the heating temperature t1 set by the heating component, and whether the difference between the air outlet temperature t3 and the air inlet temperature t2 meets the conditions for heating or drying to be completed.

[0038] If the conditions for completion of heating or drying are not met, the heating or drying process continues; if the conditions for completion of heating or drying are met, the heating or drying process ends.

[0039] The system determines whether the heating or drying process is complete by checking whether the outlet temperature t3 reaches the heating temperature t1 set by the heating component, and whether the difference between the outlet temperature t3 and the inlet temperature t2 meets the conditions for completion of heating or drying. This allows users to clearly understand the drying process without frequently checking the status of the items to be heated or dried, effectively ensuring the quality of drying or heating and improving user satisfaction.

[0040] Beneficial effects:

[0041] The nursing device provided by this invention includes a housing, a first partition, and a heating component. The first partition is disposed inside the housing, dividing the space inside the housing into a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity. The first receiving cavity has an air outlet, and the second receiving cavity has an air inlet. The first receiving cavity is used to place items to be heated or dried. The heating component is disposed inside the second receiving cavity. The first partition has a first ventilation opening and a first non-porous area, and the heating component corresponds to the first non-porous area. During drying or heating, the heating component draws cold air from the environment into the second receiving cavity through the air inlet. After the cold air is heated into hot air, the hot air generated by the heating component is blown into the first receiving cavity through the first ventilation opening, thereby drying or heating the items to be heated or dried in the first receiving cavity. This not only effectively dries items such as towels and handkerchiefs, keeping them dry and preventing the growth of bacteria and odors, but also allows towels and handkerchiefs to be placed in the first receiving cavity of the nursing device for heating, so that users can feel the warmth when using towels and handkerchiefs, thereby improving their quality of life. Furthermore, the non-porous area on the first partition corresponds to the heating element, preventing water droplets from towels or handkerchiefs from dripping directly onto the heating element, thereby reducing the risk of electrical malfunction of the heating element and ensuring the safety of the care device.

[0042] The nursing method provided by this invention uses the aforementioned nursing device to determine whether the heating or drying process is complete based on whether the outlet temperature t3 reaches the heating temperature t1 set by the heating component, and whether the difference between the outlet temperature t3 and the inlet temperature t2 meets the conditions for completion of heating or drying. This allows users to clearly understand the heating or drying process without frequently checking the status of the items to be heated or dried, effectively ensuring the quality of drying or heating and improving user satisfaction.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] This embodiment provides a nursing device, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the nursing device includes a housing 100, a first partition 200, and a heating component 500. The first partition 200 is disposed inside the housing 100, dividing the space inside the housing 100 into a first receiving cavity 110 and a second receiving cavity 120. The first receiving cavity 110 is provided with an air outlet 140, and the second receiving cavity 120 is provided with an air inlet 130. The first receiving cavity 110 is used to place items 10 to be heated or dried. The heating component 500 is disposed inside the second receiving cavity 120. The first partition 200 is provided with a first ventilation opening 210 and a first non-porous area 220. The heating component 500 corresponds to the first non-porous area 220. The first ventilation opening 210 is used to allow hot air generated by the heating component 500 to enter the first receiving cavity 110, thereby drying or heating the items 10 to be heated or dried inside the first receiving cavity 110.

[0061] During drying or heating, the heating element 500 draws in cold air from the environment into the second receiving cavity 120 through the air inlet 130. The cold air is heated into hot air, which is then blown into the first receiving cavity 110 through the first vent 210. This dries or heats the items 10 to be heated or dried within the first receiving cavity 110. This not only effectively dries items such as towels and handkerchiefs, keeping them dry and preventing bacterial growth and odors, but also allows towels and handkerchiefs to be placed in the first receiving cavity 110 for heating, providing a warm touch and improving the user's quality of life. Furthermore, the first non-porous area 220 on the first partition 200 corresponds to the heating element 500, preventing water droplets from the towels or handkerchiefs from dripping directly onto the heating element 500, thus reducing the risk of electrical malfunction and ensuring the safety of the care device.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first vent 210 includes multiple first ventilation holes, which are evenly distributed on the first partition 200. The multiple first ventilation holes can make the hot air entering the first receiving cavity 110 more uniform, which can avoid local overheating of the items 10 to be heated or dried, and improve the drying and heating effect.

[0063] Optionally, a towel rack is provided inside the first receiving cavity 110. During the heating or drying process, towels, handkerchiefs, etc. can be placed on the towel rack to prevent them from blocking the first vent 210 and improve ventilation efficiency.

[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 3As shown, the heating assembly 500 includes a drive motor 510, blades 520, and a heating element 530. The blades 520 are connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 510 and are positioned between the blades 520 and the second vent 310. The drive motor 510 drives the blades 520 to rotate, blowing unheated air to the heating element 530. After being heated by the heating element 530, the air is blown into the first receiving cavity 110 through the first vent 210 to dry or heat towels or handkerchiefs inside the first receiving cavity 110. This design of the heating assembly 500 not only improves the efficiency of hot air generation and transmission but also optimizes the performance of the care device and the user experience.

[0065] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the heating element 530 includes a frame 531 and heating elements 532. The frame 531 is disposed opposite to the blades 520 and connected to the outer shell 100. Multiple heating elements 532 are evenly distributed on the frame 531. The connection between the frame 531 and the outer shell 100 provides stable support for the heating elements 532, ensuring the stability of the heating elements 532. Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame 531 is an annular frame 531, and multiple heating elements 532 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the annular frame 531, which increases the contact area between the heating elements 532 and the air, helps to shorten the drying or heating cycle, and thus improves the drying or heating efficiency.

[0066] Optionally, the heating element 532 includes a PTC heating block or a semiconductor block, which is a ceramic-based electrical component whose resistance changes with temperature. Specifically, its positive temperature coefficient allows current to flow better at low temperatures than at high temperatures. As the temperature rises, the natural resistance of the PTC heating block or semiconductor block increases, while its current conductivity and power output decrease until an equilibrium state is reached where current almost ceases to flow. Due to the self-regulating characteristics of this electrical component, the PTC heating block or semiconductor block will not overheat, thus making the heating process safer and more reliable.

[0067] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer casing 100 includes a cover plate 101, a housing 102, and a base 103. The cover plate 101 and the base 103 are respectively disposed at both ends of the housing 102, and are detachably connected to the housing 102. Specifically, the top of the housing 102 has an opening, and the cover plate 101 seals the opening. One end of the cover plate 101 is rotatably connected to the housing 102 via a pin, and the other end is snapped into the housing 102. By opening or closing the cover plate 101, the user can easily put towels, handkerchiefs, etc. into the first receiving cavity 110 or take towels, handkerchiefs, etc. out of the first receiving cavity 110, improving the convenience of use.

[0068] Optionally, the housing 102 and the base 103 are detachably connected, facilitating the cleaning of water accumulation in the second receiving cavity 120 and preventing bacterial growth. Specifically, the bottom of the housing 102 is provided with one of a buckle or a slot, and the base 103 is provided with the other of a buckle or a slot. When the housing 102 is placed on the base 103, the buckle engages in the slot. By engaging the housing 102 and the base 103, cleaning water accumulation in the second receiving cavity 120 no longer requires cumbersome operations or professional tools, allowing users to perform maintenance themselves, reducing maintenance costs and time consumption.

[0069] Optionally, the base 103 is provided with a plurality of suction cup feet 104 on the side opposite to the second receiving cavity 120. The multiple suction cup feet 104 can be used to attach the nursing device to the ground, thereby improving the stability of the nursing device.

[0070] Optionally, in this embodiment, the air inlet 130 includes a bottom air inlet 130 and / or a side air inlet 130, and the air outlet 140 is disposed on the top cover plate 101.

[0071] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the base 103 is provided with a bottom air inlet 130, the side walls of the second receiving cavity 120 are provided with side air inlets 130, and the cover plate 101 is provided with an air outlet 140. The multi-air inlet 130 design increases the air volume drawn in by the heating component 500, which can heat more gas and deliver it to the first receiving space in a short time, which helps to speed up the heating or drying process, shorten the required time, and improve the drying or heating efficiency.

[0072] In one embodiment, a bottom air inlet 130 is provided on the base 103 and an air outlet 140 is provided on the cover plate 101, which can form an airflow path from bottom to top, effectively utilizing the principle of hot air rising, so that hot air passes evenly through the items to be heated or dried 10, thereby improving the drying or heating efficiency.

[0073] Optionally, the cover 101 is provided with a handle 1011, which allows users to more easily open and close the first receiving cavity 110, making it more convenient to take out and put in items such as towels and handkerchiefs.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] This embodiment provides a nursing device, which has a basically the same structure as the nursing device in Embodiment 1, but differs from Embodiment 1 in that, Figure 3As shown, the nursing device also includes a second partition 300, which is disposed within the second receiving cavity 120. An air guide channel 150 is formed between the second partition 300 and the first partition 200. The second partition 300 is provided with a second vent 310 and a second non-porous area 320. The second non-porous area 320 corresponds to the first vent 210. One side of the second vent 310 corresponds to the heating component 500, and the other side corresponds to the first non-porous area 220. The air guide channel 150 can effectively guide the hot air generated by the heating component 500 into the first receiving cavity 110, reducing the loss of hot air and improving drying and heating efficiency. Furthermore, the first vent 210 and the second vent 310 of the air guide channel 150 are staggered, with one side of the second vent 310 corresponding to the heating component 500 and the other side corresponding to the first non-porous area 220, further preventing water droplets from contacting the heating component 500, reducing the risk of electrical failure, and improving the safety and reliability of the nursing device.

[0076] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first end of the second partition 300 is higher than the second end of the second partition 300, that is, the second partition 300 is inclinedly arranged in the second receiving cavity 120. The second vent 310 is arranged at the first end of the second partition 300. The second end of the second partition 300 is provided with a drain hole 330. The second non-porous area 320 is located between the drain hole 330 and the second vent 310. The second non-porous area 320 can catch water droplets dripping from towels or handkerchiefs, and rely on the gravity of the water droplets to make the water droplets flow along the inclined surface of the second non-porous area 320, and finally fall into the second receiving cavity 120 from the drain hole 330. This prevents water droplets from falling onto the floor of the bathroom or toilet, improves the cleanliness and tidiness of the environment, and enhances the user experience.

[0077] Optionally, when the nursing device is in use, the nursing device is placed vertically on the ground, the first partition 200 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the second partition 300 is set at an angle α with the first partition 200, wherein 0°≤angle α<90°, and the specific value of the angle α can be 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, etc.

[0078] Optionally, the second vent 310 includes multiple second ventilation holes. By setting multiple second ventilation holes, hot air can be evenly introduced into the air guide channel 150 and flow along the air guide channel 150. Finally, it enters the first receiving cavity 110 through multiple first ventilation holes on the first partition 200, which avoids local heating of towels, handkerchiefs and other items in the first receiving cavity 110 and improves the drying effect.

[0079] Example 3

[0080] This embodiment provides a nursing device, which is basically the same as that in Embodiment 2, except that, as shown in Embodiment 2... Figure 3 As shown, the nursing device in this embodiment also includes a third partition 400, which is disposed in the second receiving cavity 120. The second partition 300, the third partition 400 and the outer shell 100 surround to form the third receiving cavity. The heating component 500 is disposed in the third receiving cavity. The third partition 400 can separate the water in the second receiving cavity 120 from the heating component 500, reducing the risk of failure of the heating component 500 caused by water accumulation and extending the service life of the heating component 500.

[0081] Optionally, a slot is provided on the bottom wall of the second receiving cavity 120, and the third partition 400 is inserted into the slot, which can improve the installation efficiency of the third partition 400.

[0082] Optionally, when a third partition 400 is provided, the second partition 300 can overlap the top of the third partition 400, and the second partition 300 can be supported by the third partition 400, which can further improve the stability of the second partition 300.

[0083] Example 4

[0084] This embodiment provides a nursing method, employing the nursing device from any of the above embodiments, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the nursing methods include:

[0085] Set the heating temperature t1 of the heating element 500 and start the heating or drying program;

[0086] Get the inlet temperature t2 and outlet temperature t3, determine whether the outlet temperature t3 reaches the heating temperature t1 set by the heating component 500, and whether the difference between the outlet temperature t3 and the inlet temperature t2 meets the conditions for heating or drying to be completed.

[0087] If the conditions for completion of heating or drying are not met, the heating or drying process continues; if the conditions for completion of heating or drying are met, the heating or drying process ends.

[0088] The completion of the heating or drying process is determined by whether the outlet temperature t3 reaches the heating temperature t1 set by the heating component 500, and whether the difference between the outlet temperature t3 and the inlet temperature t2 meets the conditions for completion of heating or drying. Users can clearly understand the heating or drying process without frequently checking the status of the items 10 to be heated or dried, which effectively ensures the quality of drying or heating and improves user satisfaction.

[0089] In this embodiment, in order to accurately control the heating or drying process, a first temperature sensor is provided at the heating element 532, a second temperature sensor 610 is provided at the air inlet 130, and a third temperature sensor 620 is provided at the air outlet 140. The first temperature sensor is used to detect the heating temperature t1 set by the heating element 532, the second temperature sensor 610 is used to detect the air inlet temperature t2, and the third temperature sensor 620 is used to detect the air outlet temperature t3. The second temperature sensor 610, the third temperature sensor 620, the first temperature sensor, and the drive motor 510 are respectively connected to the controller for communication.

[0090] It should be noted that the controller can be centralized or distributed. For example, the controller can be a single microcontroller or a combination of multiple distributed microcontrollers. The microcontroller can run a control program to determine whether the drying or heating program is complete based on the inlet temperature t2, the outlet temperature t3, and the set heating temperature t1. The control program running in the controller is a technique well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0091] For example, the drying process in the nursing method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0092] First, place the towel into the first receiving cavity 110, set the heating temperature t1 of the heating component 500 to 80°C, set the air outlet temperature t3 to 80°C, and set the preset difference between the air outlet temperature t3 and the air inlet temperature t2 to 30°C to meet the conditions for drying to be completed.

[0093] Then, the nursing device is started. When the inlet temperature t2 reaches 50℃ and the outlet temperature t3 reaches 80℃, the outlet temperature t3 is equal to the set heating temperature t1, and the actual difference between the outlet temperature t3 and the inlet temperature t2 is 30℃. When the preset difference of 30℃ is reached, the drying program is determined to be completed, and the nursing device stops running.

[0094] For example, the heating process in the nursing method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0095] First, place the towel into the first receiving cavity 110, set the heating temperature t1 of the heating component 500 to 50°C, set the air outlet temperature t3 to 50°C, and set the preset difference between the air outlet temperature t3 and the air inlet temperature t2 to 10°C to meet the conditions for heating to be completed.

[0096] Then, the nursing device is started. When the inlet temperature t2 reaches 40℃ and the outlet temperature t3 reaches 50℃, the outlet temperature t3 is equal to the set heating temperature t1. The actual difference between the outlet temperature t3 and the inlet temperature t2 is 10℃. When the preset difference of 10℃ is reached, the heating program is determined to be completed and the nursing device stops running.

[0097] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the heating temperature t1, air inlet temperature t2, and air outlet temperature t3 of the heating component 500 are not specifically limited. In practical applications, the set temperature of the heating component 500 can be adjusted according to different types of clothing, humidity conditions, or user preferences to achieve the best drying or heating effect.
