[0094] As an alternative embodiment in which the second blocking member 700 uses the lower end surface to contact the second lower air outlet 501 for opening and closing, the second blocking member 700 is provided with a second closing plate 702 that is adapted to the second guide plate 503 to form a second air outlet channel. The adaptation here refers to the shape and size of the second closing plate 702 just fitting to the surface of the second guide plate 503. When the two fit together, the lower end surface of the second blocking member 700 and the second lower air outlet 501 are in an unclosed state and the second lower air outlet 501 can also be sealed. Through the shape of the surface of the second guide plate 503 and the second closing plate 702, the airflow passes through the surface of the second guide plate 503 and the second closing plate 702 in a smooth transition, making the air outlet smoother. When the two are closed, the formed fitting surface has better sealing. As an alternative embodiment, a part of the second closing plate 702 fits the second guide plate 503, and the second closing plate 702 partially contacts the second guide plate 503.

[0095] In this embodiment, when the first blocking member 500 and the second blocking member 700 perform the opening and closing action through the linear actuator, they have a first state in which they leave the position of the second lower air outlet 501 to open it and simultaneously close the first lower air outlet 301, and a second state in which they come into contact with the second lower air outlet 501 to close it and simultaneously open the first lower air outlet 301.

[0096] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the blowing device further includes a guiding mechanism, which is disposed on the box body 10 so as to enable the second blocking member 700 to move linearly toward the second lower air outlet 501 .

[0097] There is no specific limitation on the structure of the guide mechanism, as long as it can make the second blocking member 700 move in a straight line. Preferably, the guide mechanism includes a first guide member 401 and a second guide member 701. The first guide member 401 is arranged on the wind collecting plate 200, and the second guide member 701 is arranged on the second blocking member 700. When the screw drives the nut to rotate, the nut and the second blocking member 700 are restricted by the guide mechanism, so that the second blocking member 700 reciprocates linearly on the first guide member 401. In this embodiment, the first guide member 401 is a guide rod, and the second guide member 701 is a slide groove. As an alternative embodiment, the first guide member 401 is arranged on the shell 100 or the mask 300.

[0098] In this embodiment, the extension length of the screw rod extending toward the side of the first lower air outlet 301 needs to satisfy the lower end surface of the second blocking member 700 to contact the second lower air outlet 501 to close it, and at the same time, the upper end surface of the first blocking member 500 leaves the upper air outlet 201, connecting the upper air outlet 201 and the first lower air outlet 301. Therefore, the extension length of the screw rod is at least between the air collecting plate 200 and the mask 300. As an alternative embodiment, the extension length of the screw rod is at least located outside the mask 300. The linear reciprocation of the second blocking member 700 toward the side of the second lower air outlet 501 can form air outlet areas of different sizes, which can be achieved by the lower end surface of the second blocking member 700 leaving the second lower air outlet 501 and the second blocking member 700 being in different upward positions.

[0099] The blowing device also includes a power source 900, which is suitable for providing power for opening and closing actions to the first blocking member 500 and the second blocking member 700. The power for executing the first blocking member 500 and the second blocking member 700 can be set separately, or one power source 900 can be set, and the second blocking member 700 is clutch-transmitted to the first blocking member 500, and the two move together. Preferably, one power source 900 is set, and the first blocking member 500 and the second blocking member 700 are driven together through the linkage relationship. As an alternative embodiment, two power sources 900 are set, which act on the first blocking member 500 and the second blocking member 700 respectively.

[0100] In this embodiment, the power source 900 is a power source 900 that outputs a rotary motion, such as a motor. The rotary motion is output by the motor. The power source 900 is arranged on the inner side of the housing 100, and the motor is used to drive the linear actuator of the lead screw mechanism in this embodiment. As an alternative embodiment, when the linear actuator does not use a mechanism with a rotary motion, the linear actuator can be directly selected as an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder or an oil cylinder or an air cylinder. The power source 900 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the housing 100. As an alternative embodiment, the power source 900 can also be arranged outside the housing 100.

[0101] In this embodiment, the blowing device also includes a transmission structure suitable for converting the rotary motion of the power source into the linear motion of the first blocking member. Specifically, the transmission structure refers to a transmission connection by a screw mechanism. The screw mechanism is located in the housing 100, and the screw mechanism includes an active member 800 and a passive member 703. The active member 800 is connected to the power source 900 by transmission, and the passive member 703 is arranged on the second blocking member 700. The active member 800 is connected to the passive member 703 by transmission. The active member 800 is a screw, and the passive member 703 is a nut. The second blocking member 700 has a hole 704 for the screw to pass through and penetrates the nut. The rotation of the power source 900 drives the screw to rotate, and the rotary motion of the screw is converted into the rotation of the nut. The nut is fixed on the second blocking member 700, so it can drive the second blocking member 700 to rotate together.

[0102] like Figure 4 As shown, the blowing device also includes an elastic member 600, which is arranged between the box body 10 and the first blocking member 500. The expansion and contraction direction of the elastic member 600 is the same as the direction of the movement path of the guide mechanism. Specifically, the elastic member 600 is arranged between the first blocking member 500 and the air collecting plate 200. The elastic member 600 is preferably a tension spring, one end of the elastic member 600 is connected to the air collecting plate 200 near the upper air outlet 201, and the other end is connected to the upper side of the first blocking member 500. As an alternative embodiment, the elastic member 600 can also be other metal springs or high temperature resistant elastic bands. Reference Figure 2 , is the initial state of the elastic member 600. When the second blocking member 700 moves downward, refer to Figure 5 , a force is applied to the first blocking member 500 away from the upper air outlet 201, so that the first blocking member 500 moves linearly toward the first lower air outlet 301, thereby opening the first lower air outlet 301, and the air flow in the air outlet duct 104 is blown toward the upper air outlet 201 to the first lower air outlet 301, and blown out from the first lower air outlet 301.

[0103] The first blocking member 500 can linearly reciprocate toward one side of the first lower air outlet 301 to form air outlet areas of different sizes, which can be achieved by moving the second blocking member 700 downward to different positions.

[0104] Based on the above implementation, as a further limited implementation, refer to Figure 1 The blowing device also includes a ventilation port 103 disposed on the housing 100 , and the wind source 101 is a bidirectional wind source 101 , that is, it has a bidirectional impeller, and at least a part of the impeller corresponds to the ventilation port 103 .

[0105] According to the above-mentioned embodiment, the different air outlets referred to are the first lower air outlet 301 and the second lower air outlet 501 .

[0106] There is no specific limitation on the specific application scenario and application method of the hair dryer of the above embodiment. The hair dryer of this embodiment is specifically applied to a bathroom heater or a space heater. As an alternative implementation mode, the hair dryer is specifically applied to a clothes drying machine or an air conditioner or a dehumidifier or a humidifier.

[0107] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, as a further limited embodiment, the blowing device also includes a temperature sensor 30 and / or a human body sensor 20 and a controller. The controller is respectively connected to the temperature sensor 30 and / or the human body sensor 20 and the power source 900 in communication. The power source 900 is controlled by the controller, and the controller receives the temperature signal of the temperature sensor 30 and / or the distance signal of the human body sensor 20, and starts or shuts down the power source 900 according to the temperature signal and / or the distance signal. By adding a controller, combining the temperature sensor 30 and the human body sensor 20, intelligent wind direction and thermal performance adjustment can be achieved. The controller can sense the temperature of the heater's air outlet in real time according to the signal of the temperature sensor 30, and the signal of the human body sensor 20 to judge the distance between the human body and the air outlet point. Through this information, the controller can intelligently adjust the thermal performance of the air-heating heater and select the appropriate air outlet direction, always keeping it within a comfortable range, and providing a more comfortable heating experience.

[0108] In this embodiment, the human body sensor 20 is an infrared sensor. As an alternative embodiment, it can also be an ultrasonic sensor, a microwave radar sensor, or any combination of infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and microwave radar sensors.

[0109] On the basis of the above embodiment, as a further limited embodiment, a blowing method of a blowing device at least comprises the following steps:

[0110] Obtaining the user's location information, which is used to determine the user's location;

[0111] Different air outlet modes are selected according to different positions. In this embodiment, the air outlet modes include: selecting different air outlets for blowing and / or changing the size of any of the air outlets. In this embodiment, the size of the air outlet is specifically the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet. There is no limitation on the specific form of changing the air outlet area. The air outlet can be closed by a closed component, or the shape of the air outlet itself can be reduced or expanded. A specific implementation method can refer to the closing action of the air outlet by the blocking member in the above-mentioned blowing device.

[0112] In this embodiment, the different air outlets referred to may be air outlets whose air outlet paths do not overlap, or may be air outlets in the above-mentioned blowing device, in which one air outlet is arranged on the air outlet path of another air outlet to form a certain overlapping area. By switching the positions of different blocking members, different air outlets can be opened respectively.

[0113] In this embodiment, the user's location information includes the horizontal distance R between the user's location and the air outlet; the horizontal distance R has a preset threshold. If the horizontal distance R is within a first threshold range, one of the air outlets is determined for blowing air; if the horizontal distance R is within a second threshold range, switch to another air outlet for blowing air.

[0114] Furthermore, the preset threshold refers to different horizontal distances, which can be a value or a specific value range. It can also be to define two areas, in which the range of one area meets a threshold and the range of the other area exceeds the threshold.

[0115] The blowing method in this embodiment can refer to the above-mentioned blowing device, Figure 6 , using the human body sensor 20 to detect the distance between the human body and the center of the first lower air outlet 301 or the second lower air outlet 501, the horizontal distance between the human body and the center of the first lower air outlet 301 or the second lower air outlet 501 is R;

[0116] When 0≤R≤R1, the initial state is central centralized blowing, a part of the first blocking member 500 contacts the first lower air outlet 301 to close the first lower air outlet 301, the second blocking member 700 is away from the second lower air outlet 501 to open the second lower air outlet 501, and the distance between the second blocking member 700 and the second lower air outlet 501 is h; the blowing air volume is the largest, and the thermal performance of the heater is the best;

[0117] When R1≤R≤R2, the power source 900 drives the second blocking member 700 to move a distance h3 toward the second lower air outlet 501; wherein, h3>h; in this state, a portion of the second blocking member 700 contacts the second lower air outlet 501 to close the second lower air outlet 501, and the first blocking member 500 moves away from the first lower air outlet 301 to open the first lower air outlet 301; at this time, the air outlet is switched to diffuse air outlet all around.

[0118] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned blowing method, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is adjusted according to the change of the user's position. For example, if the user's position is far away from the air outlet, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is reduced; if the user's position is close to the air outlet, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is increased. Specifically, in combination with the horizontal distance R, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is reduced according to the increase of the horizontal distance R; and the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is increased according to the decrease of the horizontal distance R. The purpose of this setting is to control the airflow blown out by the blowing device when the human body is at a position far away from the air outlet. After passing through the air outlet with the area reduced, the airflow is compressed and blown out, and can be blown to a farther position. When the human body is close to the air outlet, the air outlet area is expanded to increase the air output.

[0119] Further, the area of ​​the air outlet can be adjusted by referring to the above-mentioned blowing device, Figure 7 When R>R2, the power source 900 drives the second blocking member 700 to move a distance h4 toward the second lower air outlet 501; wherein, h4>h3>h; the flow area of ​​the surrounding second air outlet channels increases, the air volume increases, and the thermal performance of the heater is improved, so as to better perform long-distance space heating.

[0120] As an alternative implementation, the user's location information also includes the height distance between the user's location and the air outlet, and the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is adjusted according to the change in the height distance. For example, as the height distance increases, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is reduced; as the height distance decreases, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is increased. In actual applications, users have different heights and different distances from the air outlet. When the user is shorter or squats, the height distance increases, thereby reducing the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet, thereby blowing the airflow to a lower space.

[0121] As an alternative implementation, when the user's height is not at the same level as the air outlet, an infrared sensor can be used to measure the straight-line distance between the air outlet and the human body, which is usually inclined. The horizontal distance R or height distance is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.

[0122] On the basis of the above-mentioned implementation manner, as a further limited implementation manner, a blowing method of a blowing device further includes, after determining the user position, obtaining the temperature under the air outlet, and adjusting the air outlet mode according to the change of the air outlet temperature.

[0123] In this embodiment, the air outlet mode is adjusted according to the change of the air outlet temperature; the air outlet mode includes changing the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet. Specifically, when the air outlet temperature increases, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is reduced; when the air outlet temperature decreases, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is increased. The purpose of this setting is also to control the airflow blown out by the blowing device when the human body is far away from the air outlet. After passing through the air outlet with a reduced area, the airflow is compressed and blown out, and can be blown to a farther position. When the human body is close to the air outlet, the air outlet area is expanded to increase the air volume.

[0124] In this embodiment, the temperature under the air outlet is obtained in real time. As an alternative embodiment, the temperature under the air outlet can also be obtained by timing, according to a specific interval duration, or according to the duration of working time.

[0125] As an alternative implementation, after determining the user's position, the outlet air temperature is obtained. The blowing method in this implementation can refer to the above-mentioned blowing device, and refer to Figure 6 , using the temperature sensor 30 to detect the temperature T at the lower side of the first lower air outlet 301 or the second lower air outlet 501;

[0126] When T≤T1, it is in the initial state, and the air is discharged centrally. A part of the first blocking member 500 contacts the first lower air outlet 301 to close the first lower air outlet 301, and the second blocking member 700 is away from the position of the second lower air outlet 501 to open the second lower air outlet 501. The distance between the second blocking member 700 and the position of the second lower air outlet 501 is h.

[0127] When T1<T<T2, the power source 900 drives the second blocking member 700 to move toward the second lower air outlet 501 by a distance h1;

[0128] When T≥T2, the power source 900 drives the second blocking member 700 to move toward the second lower air outlet 501 by a distance h2, wherein h1<h2<h;

[0129] In this embodiment, the temperature T is located at the lower side of the air outlet, and at least two are arranged along a straight line, and the average temperature is the measured temperature.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications to the embodiments without any creative contribution as needed. However, such modifications are protected by the patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
