Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathroom fixtures, and in particular to a bathroom heater panel. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of bathroom heating equipment, the bathroom heater, as a commonly used heating device, directly affects the heating experience and efficiency due to its hot air output structure. Currently, most mainstream bathroom heaters on the market use a design where the hot air outlet is positioned around the edge of the lighting fixture, such as... Figure 1 In this structure, hot air is usually blown out at a fixed angle.

[0003] This fixed-angle direct-blowing design has obvious limitations: on the one hand, the hot air coverage is limited and the direction is unidirectional, which can easily lead to excessively high temperatures in some areas while other areas are not heated enough. When people are in direct contact with the hot air, they feel uncomfortable and easily experience a feeling of dryness and heat. On the other hand, because the hot air cannot spread quickly and evenly throughout the bathroom space, the overall heating speed of the space is slow. Especially in low-temperature scenarios such as winter, users have to wait a long time to reach a comfortable temperature, which affects the convenience of use and the heating effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a bathroom heater panel that uses a dynamic spiral air guiding structure to cut hot air into turbulent airflow, thereby increasing the contact area between hot and cold air and improving the issues of slow heating and direct airflow onto the human body.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A bathroom heater panel includes a panel and a mounting base connected to the panel. The mounting base has an annular or circular air outlet, and the panel has a through hole corresponding to the air outlet. It also includes: an air distribution component disposed at the air outlet; the air distribution component includes an annular bracket and blades disposed on the annular bracket. Rotating the annular bracket can drive the blades to rotate, thereby cutting the warm air passing through the air outlet; the projection of the blades on the circumference of the annular bracket is arc-shaped, and the bending direction of the blades is clockwise; the blades are inclined along the axial direction of the annular bracket, and the inclination direction is consistent with the bending direction of the blades; and a driving component for driving the annular bracket to rotate.

[0007] Furthermore, the blades are evenly arranged on the inner circumference of the annular support.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving component includes a motor and a gear driven by the motor, and the air distribution component also includes an annular tooth structure disposed on the outer periphery of the annular bracket, the tooth structure meshing with the gear.

[0009] Furthermore, the axial sides of the annular bracket and / or toothed structure are clamped between the panel and the mounting base, and guide components are provided between the axial sides of the annular bracket and / or toothed structure and the panel and the mounting base.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide assembly includes balls disposed on both axial sides of the annular bracket and / or toothed structure, and guide rail grooves disposed on the panel and the mounting base.

[0011] Furthermore, the balls are evenly spaced; the balls are arranged in two rows along the radial direction of the annular support.

[0012] Furthermore, the bathroom heater panel also includes a decorative component, which includes a decorative panel and a mounting plate that are fixedly connected. The decorative component is annular. The edge of the through hole extends toward the back of the panel to form a mounting bracket. The decorative component is fixed to the panel by the snap-fit ​​between the mounting plate and the mounting bracket. The outer radial edge of the decorative panel covers at least a portion of the edge of the through hole, and its inner radial edge extends above the annular bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the bathroom heater panel also includes an ambient light, which is disposed within the annular cavity formed by the decorative panel, the mounting plate, and the mounting bracket; the light from the ambient light can pass through the gap between the mounting plate and the annular bracket.

[0014] Furthermore, the surface of the decorative panel is provided with several ripples.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention and its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0016] (1) The present invention features an air distribution element at the warm air outlet. The annular support of the air distribution element drives the blades to rotate, cutting the warm air discharged from the outlet and creating turbulent airflow through the disturbance. This increases the contact area between hot and cold air, allowing the bathroom space to heat up faster. The turbulent airflow avoids the localized dryness problem caused by traditional direct airflow, improving the comfort of the human body when heating. The projection of the blades on the circumference of the annular support is arc-shaped, and the bending direction of the blades is in the same clockwise direction, which can guide the hot air to form an orderly spiral airflow and enhance the air mixing effect. The blades are inclined in the axial direction of the annular support, and the inclination direction is consistent with the bending direction of the blades, allowing the airflow to form layered disturbances in the axial direction (perpendicular to the panel direction). According to actual measurements, the addition of the air distribution element increases the heating speed of the bathroom heater by 20%, improves the temperature uniformity by 15%, and reduces the temperature difference between 450mm and 1300mm between the outlets to within 5 degrees Celsius.

[0017] (2) The air distribution component and panel of the present invention are provided with ball bearings and guide rail grooves between the air distribution component and the mounting base, which improves the smoothness of the rotation of the air distribution component, thereby ensuring that the turbulent air is stable and effective.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] See Figure 1A bathroom heater panel includes a panel 100 and a mounting base 200 connected to the panel 100. The mounting base has an annular or circular air outlet, and the panel 200 has a through hole 101 corresponding to the air outlet. In this embodiment, a lamp 210 is installed in the central area of ​​the mounting base, and the air outlet 201 is the annular area between the edge of the mounting base 200 and the lamp 210.

[0032] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air outlet 101 is equipped with an air distribution component 300, which includes a ring bracket 310 and blades 320 mounted on the ring bracket. Rotating the ring bracket 310 causes the blades 320 to rotate, thereby cutting the warm air passing through the air outlet 101. The cut warm air discharged from the air outlet and the turbulent airflow at the air outlet form turbulent airflow, increasing the contact area between hot and cold air and allowing the bathroom space to heat up faster. Turbulent airflow avoids the localized dryness problem caused by traditional direct airflow, improving the comfort of the human body when heating. Of course, a drive component is also provided to drive the ring bracket 310 to rotate.

[0033] Blades 320 are evenly distributed on the inner circumference of the annular support 310. The circumferential projection of the blades 320 on the annular support 310 is arc-shaped, and the bending direction of the blades 320 is the same clockwise direction, that is, the concave arc surface faces the rotation direction of the annular support. This guides the hot air to form an orderly spiral airflow, enhances the air mixing effect, and further improves the heating efficiency. The blades 320 are inclined in the axial direction of the annular support 310. The inclined design allows the airflow to form layered disturbances in the axial direction (perpendicular to the panel direction), further optimizing the user experience and accelerating the overall air circulation in the space. The tilt direction is consistent with the bending direction of the blades 320, which can strengthen the spiral guiding effect of the hot air and make the diffusion force of the turbulent wind stronger.

[0034] When warm air is discharged from the air outlet 201 of the mounting base, the rotating blades 320 continuously cut and split the "straight-flowing warm air". The laminar warm air that originally flowed in a fixed direction is repeatedly cut by the blades to form multiple small airflows with different directions and speeds. This naturally generates vortices and disturbances, forming turbulent wind. Compared with traditional straight air outlet, the contact area between hot and cold air is larger, the mixing effect is better, and it is more conducive to the overall temperature rise.

[0035] The driving component 400 includes a motor 410 and a gear 420 driven by the motor 410. The wind distribution component 300 also includes an annular tooth structure 330 disposed on the outer periphery of the annular support 310, which meshes with the gear 420. The gear transmission structure is simple and reliable, and the power transmission is efficient, ensuring the continuous and stable rotation of the blades and ensuring a consistent turbulent wind effect.

[0036] See Figure 4 and Figure 5The annular bracket 310 and / or the toothed structure 330 are clamped on both sides of the axial direction between the panel 100 and the mounting base 200. In this embodiment, the clamped positions are the two sides of the toothed structure 330. Guide components are provided between the two sides of the toothed structure 330 and the panel 100 and the mounting base 200. The guide components reduce the frictional resistance during rotation, allowing the air distribution component to rotate more smoothly, ensuring stable and effective turbulent airflow, and reducing operating noise.

[0037] The guiding assembly includes ball bearings 340 disposed on both axial sides of the toothed structure 330 and guide rail grooves 102 disposed on the panel 100 and the mounting base 200. The guiding structure, with its ball bearings and guide rails, has a low coefficient of friction, improving the smoothness of the air distribution component's rotation. Its simple design facilitates installation and maintenance, while precisely limiting the rotation trajectory to ensure stable airflow. The evenly spaced ball bearings 340 ensure balanced force on the annular support, resulting in smoother rotation. Two rows of ball bearings are arranged radially along the annular support 310; these radial rows enhance guiding stability, reduce frictional loss, and improve the overall structural durability.

[0038] See Figure 6 The bathroom heater panel also includes a decorative element 500, which includes a decorative plate 510 and a mounting plate 520 fixedly connected. The decorative element 500 is annular, with the outer edge of the decorative plate 510 overlapping the edge of the through hole in the panel, and the inner edge of the decorative plate 510 located above the annular bracket 310. The decorative element 500 is used to conceal the internal structure and enhance the aesthetics of the bathroom heater panel. The edge of the through hole 101 extends toward the back of the panel 100 to form a mounting bracket 110, and the mounting plate 520 is engaged with the mounting bracket 110. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 110 is provided with a snap-fit ​​block 111, and the mounting plate 520 is provided with a snap-fit ​​interface 521 adapted to the snap-fit ​​block 111. In this embodiment,

[0039] The bathroom heater panel also includes an ambient light (not shown), which is located within the annular cavity formed by the decorative panel 510, the mounting plate 520, and the mounting bracket 110. The light from the ambient light can pass through the gap between the mounting plate 520 and the annular bracket 310, creating a warm bathroom atmosphere and enhancing the user experience. The surface of the decorative panel is provided with several corrugations, which can enhance the light refraction effect, making the ambient light softer and more evenly distributed.
