[0045] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the scheme of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0046] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0047] The following is a detailed description of the bathroom heater through a specific embodiment:
[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, some embodiments of the present invention provide a bathroom heater, which can usually be installed at the ceiling of a bathroom.
[0049] The bathroom heater specifically includes a panel 1, a swing assembly 6, a drive assembly 2, a detector and a controller 3. An air outlet 11 is provided on the panel 1. The swing assembly 6 is swingably arranged at the air outlet 11. The drive assembly 2 is connected to the swing assembly 6. The detector is arranged on the panel 1 and staggered from the air outlet 11. The detector is used to detect the position of the user. The controller 3 is electrically connected to the detector and the drive assembly 2 respectively, so that the drive assembly 2 drives the swing assembly 6 to swing relative to the air outlet 11 according to the position signal detected by the detector, so as to adjust the air outlet direction at the air outlet 11.
[0050] Exemplarily, an air outlet channel connected to the air outlet 11 can be provided in the bathroom heater, a fan assembly can be provided in the air outlet channel, and a heating element that can heat the airflow can be provided in the air outlet channel. Specifically, the airflow generated by the fan assembly in the air outlet channel can be heated by the heating element to form warm air that is blown out of the air outlet 11.
[0051] The bathroom heater provided by the present disclosure is provided with a swinging assembly 6 and a driving assembly 2 connected to the swinging assembly 6, so that the swinging assembly 6 is swingably set at the air outlet 11, and a detector is set at a position staggered from the air outlet 11 on the panel 1, and the detector is used to detect the specific position of the user. By setting a controller, the controller is electrically connected to the detector and the driving assembly 2 respectively, so that the driving assembly 2 drives the swinging assembly 6 to swing relative to the air outlet 11 according to the position signal detected by the detector, so as to adjust the air outlet direction at the air outlet 11. In this way, while expanding the blowing range of the bathroom heater, the air outlet direction of the air outlet 11 can also be changed with the real-time position of the user, so that the bathroom heater can realize the wind always blowing towards the user or the wind always avoiding the user according to the user's blowing needs, that is, the function of wind chasing people and wind avoiding people is realized, thereby improving the user experience of the swingable bathroom heater; at the same time, the detector is set away from the air outlet 11 to avoid the detector being directly blown by the wind and affecting the service life and detection accuracy.
[0052] Specifically, the bathroom heater can be an air-heating bathroom heater or an air-heating and light-heating hybrid bathroom heater, which can output hot air to the bathroom to increase the overall temperature of the bathroom, and can also swing according to the position of the user to achieve the function of wind chasing people and wind avoiding people. The bathroom heater has a first blowing mode and a second blowing mode. The controller is used to control the driving component 2 to drive the swinging component 6 to swing in a direction away from the user's position in the first blowing mode (i.e., wind chasing people mode); or control the driving component 2 to drive the swinging component 6 to swing in the direction of the user's position in the second blowing mode (i.e., wind avoiding people mode).
[0053] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2As shown, the panel 1 is provided with a lighting component and a function display area, and the lighting component and the air outlet 11 are arranged at intervals, so that the bathroom heater can achieve both the wind chasing people and the wind avoiding people, and the lighting function. The function display area is located in the area between the lighting component and the air outlet 11, and the detector is arranged in the function display area. Such an arrangement is convenient for the reasonable arrangement of the lighting component, the air outlet 11 and the function display area on the panel 1, and the detector is staggered from the air outlet 11 to avoid the detector being directly blown by the wind. The lighting component includes a lighting element 41 and a lighting diffusion cover 42, the lighting element 41 can be an LED bulb or other types of luminous bodies, the lighting element 41 and the air outlet 11 are arranged at intervals, the lighting diffusion cover 42 is arranged opposite to the lighting element 41 and is located on the side of the panel 1 away from the lighting element 41, and the lighting diffusion cover 42 can be PC, acrylic or other light-transmitting optical materials.
[0054] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the bathroom heater also includes a box body 10, part of the air outlet channel is located in the box body 10, and the above-mentioned fan assembly can be arranged in the air outlet channel in the box body 10, and the box body 10 is provided with an exhaust port 101 opposite to the air outlet 11 and connected to the air outlet 11 and the air outlet channel respectively, and the panel 1 covers the box body 10, the box body 10 is connected to the panel 1, and a power supply assembly can be arranged in the box body 10, and the power supply assembly can be electrically connected to the controller 3, the detector and the lighting assembly, and can provide power for the above-mentioned components. Specifically, the controller 3, the detector and the lighting assembly can be integrated on the same circuit board, and the controller 3 is arranged on the side of the panel 1 facing the box body 10 and at a position corresponding to the functional display area, and the detector can also be arranged on the side of the panel 1 facing the box body 10 and at a position corresponding to the functional display area.
[0055] In a specific implementation, the detector is a millimeter wave radar, one side of the panel 1 is formed as an appearance surface, the millimeter wave radar is arranged on the side of the panel 1 facing away from the appearance surface, and the millimeter wave emitted by the millimeter wave radar can penetrate the panel 1 and be emitted into the environment to detect the user's location. Of course, in a specific implementation, the detector can also be an infrared sensor, one side of the panel 1 is formed as an appearance surface, the infrared sensor is arranged on the side of the panel 1 facing away from the appearance surface, and a perspective window corresponding to the infrared sensor is opened on the panel 1, and the infrared rays emitted by the infrared sensor can pass through the perspective window and be emitted into the environment to detect the user's location.
[0056] In some embodiments, a photosensitive sensor is also provided on the panel 1, and the photosensitive sensor is used to detect the spatial brightness of the environment. The lighting component has a night light mode. The controller 3 is electrically connected to the photosensitive sensor and the lighting component to control the opening and closing of the night light mode of the lighting component according to the brightness signal detected by the photosensitive sensor. When the light is dim or at night, the photosensitive sensor detects that the spatial brightness of the environment is low, and the night light mode of the lighting component is turned on. In a specific implementation, the controller 3 can also control the opening and closing of the night light mode of the lighting component according to the spatial brightness detected by the photosensitive sensor, and at the same time control the driving component 2 to drive the swing wind component 6 to swing relative to the air outlet 11 according to the user's position detected by the millimeter wave radar (or infrared sensor). For example, when the millimeter wave radar detects that there is a user in the environment, and the photosensitive sensor detects that the spatial brightness is low, the controller controls the night light mode of the lighting component to turn on, so as to illuminate the bathroom and facilitate the user to enter and exit the bathroom.
[0057] In some embodiments, reference Figures 2 to 5 As shown, a mounting bracket 5 is provided on the panel 1, and the mounting bracket 5 is fixedly mounted on the panel 1 and is arranged corresponding to the air outlet 11. The swing assembly 6 includes a swing member 61 and a plurality of swing leaves 62, and the swing member 61 is provided with a through hole 601 for air flow to blow through, and the swing member 61 and each swing leaf 62 are swingably arranged in the mounting bracket 5, and the swing member 61 is configured to swing in a first direction relative to the mounting bracket 5, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the air outlet direction along the first direction. Each swing leaf 62 is configured to swing in a second direction relative to the swing member 61, so as to achieve the purpose of guiding the wind in different directions through the swing of the swing leaf 62, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the air outlet direction along the second direction, and the first direction intersects with the second direction.
[0058] The intersection of the first direction and the second direction means that within the installation plane of the bathroom heater, the extension line of the first direction and the extension line of the second direction intersect.
[0059] In this way, by swinging the swing member 61 in the first direction, the position of the swing member 61 relative to the air outlet 11 in the first direction can be adjusted, thereby achieving the diversion of the wind flowing through the swing member 61 in different directions, thereby adjusting the wind direction of the wind flowing out of the air outlet 11.
[0060] By swinging the swing leaf 62 along the second direction, the position of the swing leaf 62 relative to the air outlet 11 in the second direction can be adjusted, thereby guiding the wind flowing through the swing leaf 62 in different directions, thereby adjusting the wind direction of the wind flowing out of the air outlet 11.
[0061] In specific implementation, the swing member 61 can also be swung in the first direction, and the swing leaf 62 can be swung in the second direction at the same time. Since the first direction is different from the second direction, the air outlet direction at the air outlet 11 can be adjusted in multiple ways, further expanding the blowing range of the bathroom heater, making the convenience and flexibility of adjusting the air outlet direction of the bathroom heater higher, facilitating multi-directional air outlet, further ensuring the function of wind chasing people or wind avoiding people, and making the user experience of the bathroom heater higher.
[0062] For example, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first direction may be, for example, the front-to-back direction. Figure 4 and Figure 6 When the front-to-back direction is gradually swung as shown, the air outlet direction can be gradually adjusted in the front-to-back direction. Figure 6 S1 in the figure is the maximum limit position of the swinging member 61 swinging forward. Figure 6 S2 is the maximum limit position of the swing member 61 when swinging backwards, and the fan-shaped area between S1 and S2 is the swing range of the swing member 61. Different positions of the swing member 61 within the swing range correspond to different air outlet directions at the air outlet 11. Figure 6 As shown, b is the angle between S1 and S2, which corresponds to the swing angle of the air swing member 61, and b can be 0-180°, specifically 20°, 50° or 100°.
[0063] Exemplarily, the first direction may be perpendicular to the second direction, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second direction may be, for example, a left-right direction. Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the left and right directions are gradually swung as shown, the air outlet direction can be gradually adjusted in the left and right directions. Figure 5 S3 in FIG. 6 is the maximum limit position of the swing leaf 62 to the left. Figure 5 S4 in the figure is the maximum limit position of the swing leaf 62 to swing to the right, the area enclosed by S3 and S4 is the swing range of the swing leaf 62, and the different positions of the swing leaf 62 in the swing range correspond to different air outlet directions at the air outlet 11. Figure 5 As shown, a indicates the swing angle of the swing leaf 62, and a can be 0-120°, specifically 20°, 50° or 88°.
[0064] For example, in a specific implementation, a wind passing area for airflow to blow through may be provided on the mounting bracket 5 .
[0065] Reference Figure 4As shown, the mounting bracket 5 can be fixed to the panel 1 by fasteners such as screws. A plurality of threaded holes are arranged at intervals around the air outlet on the panel 1. Correspondingly, mounting holes for fasteners to pass through are opened at corresponding positions on the mounting bracket 5. Fasteners such as screws pass through the mounting holes and threaded holes in turn to fix the mounting bracket 5 on the panel 1.
[0066] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the swaying member 61 is a frame structure. The swaying member 61 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 5 via the swaying member mounting shaft 613, and the swaying member 61 is configured to swing relative to the mounting bracket 5 along the first direction around the swaying member mounting shaft 613. A plurality of swinging leaves 62 are arranged in the swaying member 61 at intervals along the axial direction of the swaying member mounting shaft 613, and are all rotatably connected to the swaying member 61 via the swinging leaf mounting shaft 621, and the swinging leaves 62 are configured to swing relative to the swaying member 61 along the second direction around the swinging leaf mounting shaft 621.
[0067] In this way, by swinging at least one of the swinging member 61 and the swinging leaf 62 thereon, the air outlet direction at the air outlet 11 can be adjusted. At the same time, by providing a plurality of swinging leaves 62, the accuracy of the air outlet direction adjustment can be guaranteed to a certain extent, and the uniformity of the air outlet at the air outlet 11 can be improved.
[0068] At the same time, by making the swing member 61 a frame structure, that is, the swing member 61 has an inner cavity, and the swing leaf 62 is arranged in the swing member 61, the swing member 61 and the swing leaf 62 are arranged compactly, which is beneficial to saving the space occupied by the swing assembly 6, thereby reducing the space occupied by the bathroom heater, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetics of bathroom decoration, and it can also avoid interference between the swing assembly 6 and the external structure when it swings to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the swing assembly 6 when it swings, and can protect the swing leaf 62 to a certain extent.
[0069] Exemplarily, the inner cavity of the swing piece 61 is formed as a partial air outlet channel. After the airflow generated by the bathroom heater enters the swing piece 61, it can be guided by the swing leaves in the swing piece 61 and then blown into the room through the through hole 601 and the air outlet 11 of the swing piece 61.
[0070] Of course, the swing member 61 and the swing blade 62 may also be arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the air outlet channel.
[0071] Of course, the wind swing member 61 may also be a wind swing plate.
[0072] It should be noted that, refer to Figure 4 As shown, by making the swaying member 61 a frame structure, the swaying member 61 as a whole can be a rod-shaped structure (or a columnar structure). Taking the swaying member 61 placed horizontally as an example, the lower part of the swaying member 61 is formed with a longitudinal direction ( Figure 4 The through hole 601 extending in the XX direction (shown in the figure) and penetrating from top to bottom allows airflow to enter from the upper part of the swing member 61 and blow out from the lower part. When the swing member 61 swings at the air outlet 11, the airflow flowing from top to bottom can be switched to be blown out at a certain angle as the swing member 61 swings, and the tilt angle gradually changes as the swing member 61 swings.
[0073] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the swinging member 61 of the frame structure may include two end faces 602 that are opposite and spaced apart and a side face 60 connected between the two end faces 602. The upper portion of the side face 60 is formed as an open structure, and the through hole 601 is provided on the side face 60. When the bathroom heater blows air, the airflow blows into the swinging member 61 from the open portion of the upper portion of the side face, and blows out through the through hole 601 provided on the side face 60.
[0074] Exemplarily, the frame structure can be semi-cylindrical, the corresponding end face 602 can be a semicircular end face, and the side face 60 can be an arc-shaped side face, so that the swing piece 61 can be formed into a rod-like structure that is cylindrical as a whole, and the swing of the swing piece 61 at the air outlet is smoother.
[0075] Further, continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the swing assembly 6 also includes a swing arm 63, each swing leaf 62 is rotatably matched with the swing arm 63, and the swing arm 63 is configured to reciprocate along the second direction relative to the swing member 61 to drive the swing leaf 62 to swing around the swing leaf installation shaft 621.
[0076] With this arrangement, the reciprocating movement of the swing arm 63 relative to the swing element 61 in the second direction can be converted into the swinging of the swing leaf 62 along the swing leaf mounting axis 621 between the swing arm 63 and the swing element 61, thereby achieving adjustment of the air outlet direction and facilitating use.
[0077] Exemplarily, the swing arm 63 has an air passage connected to the above-mentioned air outlet passage, so that the wind flows to the swing assembly through the swing arm 63 and changes direction. Specifically, the swing member 61 can be a cylindrical rod as a whole, and a long strip through hole extending along its length is formed on the swing member 61. The heat-exchanged airflow in the bathroom heater can pass through the long strip through hole along the radial direction of the swing member 61 and then be blown out from the air outlet 11 on the panel 1.
[0078] Reference Figure 4As shown, a swing leaf installation shaft 621 and a swing leaf swing shaft 622 are provided on the swing leaf 62. In a specific implementation, the swing leaf installation shaft 621 and the swing leaf swing shaft 622 can be provided on both sides of the swing leaf 62. The swing leaf installation shaft 621 is provided at a lower position on both sides of the swing leaf 62, and the swing leaf installation shafts 621 on both sides are provided at the same height. The swing leaf swing shaft 622 is provided at an upper position on both sides of the swing leaf 62, and the swing leaf installation shafts 621 on both sides are provided at the same height. Correspondingly, a swing leaf mounting groove 611 is provided at a position corresponding to the swing leaf 62 on the swing element 61, and the position, quantity and shape of the swing leaf mounting groove 611 and the swing leaf mounting shaft 621 are adapted to each other, so that the swing leaf mounting shaft 621 can be rotatably arranged in the swing leaf mounting groove 611, and the swing leaf mounting shaft 621 is formed as a rotating connecting shaft between the swing leaf 62 and the swing element 61, so that the swing leaf 62 rotates around the swing leaf mounting shaft 621; correspondingly, a swing leaf swinging groove 631 is provided on the swing arm 63 at a position corresponding to the swing leaf 62, and the swing leaf swinging shaft 622 is arranged in the swing leaf swinging groove 631, and the swing arm 63 can reciprocate along the length direction of the swing element 61 to drive the swing leaf 62 to swing around the swing leaf mounting shaft 621. The position, quantity and shape of the swing leaf swing groove 631 and the swing leaf swing shaft 622 are adapted to each other, so that the swing leaf swing shaft 622 is set in the swing leaf swing groove 631, and the swing arm 63 drives the swing leaf 62 to swing around the swing leaf mounting shaft 621 as the axis through the cooperation between the swing leaf swing shaft 622 and the swing leaf swing groove 631.
[0079] Further, the swing assembly 6 also includes a limiter 614, which is arranged opposite to the swing member 61 and is connected in a matching manner. An accommodation space is formed between the limiter 614 and the swing member 61, and the swing arm 63 and the plurality of swing leaves 62 are located in the accommodation space. In this way, the swing arm 63, the swing leaf 62, etc. can be prevented from escaping from the swing member 61. Specifically, a card slot is arranged at intervals on the inner side wall of the swing member 61, and correspondingly, a buckle matching the shape of the card slot is arranged at the corresponding position of the limiter 614. Through the matching of the buckle and the card slot, the limiter 614 is fixed to the swing member 61, and the swing arm 63 and the plurality of swing leaves 62 are accommodated in the accommodation space. Of course, it should be noted that the fixing method between the swing member 61 and the limiter 614 is not limited to the card connection fixing, and can also be other methods, such as bolt fixing and other fixing methods, as long as the connection between the limiter 614 and the swing member 61 can be achieved, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0080] In some embodiments, an air guide sleeve 65 is provided between the exhaust port 101 of the box 10 and the air outlet 11 of the panel 1. One end of the air guide sleeve 65 is sleeved at the exhaust port 101 of the box 10, and the other end of the air guide sleeve 65 is connected and fixed to the mounting bracket 5 at the air outlet 11 to guide the airflow in the exhaust port 101 to the swing assembly 6, so that the airflow in the bathroom heater can be directly guided to the swing assembly 6 through the air guide sleeve 65, and then the swing assembly 6 performs two-way swing to blow into the bathroom. Among them, the inner cavity of the air guide sleeve 65 forms the above-mentioned partial air outlet channel.
[0081] Further, refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the driving assembly 2 includes a first driving mechanism 21 and a second driving mechanism 22. The driving assembly 2 can simultaneously realize the rotation of the swing member 61 and the swing of the swing leaf 62. Specifically, the first driving mechanism 21 is drivingly connected to the swing member 61, and is used to drive the swing member 61 to swing along a first direction around the swing member mounting axis 613, that is, to drive the swing member 61 to swing around the rotation connection axis between the swing member 61 and the mounting bracket 5; the second driving mechanism 22 is drivingly connected to the swing arm 63, and is used to drive the swing arm 63 to move in the second direction, so as to drive the swing leaf 62 to swing along the second direction around the swing leaf mounting axis 621, that is, to drive the swing leaf 62 to swing around the rotation connection axis between the swing leaf 62 and the swing member 61 as the axis.
[0082] For example, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the swing arm 63 is equivalent to the swing wind member 61, Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the device moves in the left and right directions, the swing leaf 62 can be driven to swing left and right.
[0083] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism 21 and the second drive mechanism 22 are electrically connected to the controller respectively, and the controller is used to control the operation of one or both of the first drive mechanism 21 and the second drive mechanism 22 according to the position signal detected by the detector to make at least one of the swinging element 61 and the swinging leaf 62 swing.
[0084] Specifically, the controller may include an electrically connected receiving module and a control module, wherein the receiving module is electrically connected to the detector for receiving a user's position signal and sending it to the control module; the control module is electrically connected to the driving component 2 for converting the received position signal into a control signal and controlling the driving component 2.
[0085] Exemplarily, when the detector detects that the user moves only in the first direction, the control module can only control the first drive mechanism 21 to drive the swing member 61 to swing along the first direction toward a position close to the user or away from the user; when the detector detects that the user moves only in the second direction, the control module can only control the second drive mechanism 22 to drive the swing arm 63 to swing along the second direction toward a position close to the user or away from the user. When the detector detects that the user moves in the first direction and the second direction at the same time, the control module can control the first drive mechanism 21 to drive the swing member 61 to swing along the first direction toward a position close to the user or away from the user, and control the second drive mechanism 22 to drive the swing arm 63 to swing along the second direction toward a position close to the user or away from the user; that is, the controller can control the swing assembly 6 to swing according to the user's position and the direction in which the user moves to adjust the air outlet direction at the air outlet 11, thereby achieving the purpose of the wind chasing the person or the wind avoiding the person.
[0086] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the first driving mechanism 21 includes a first motor 211, a first gear 212 and a gear shaft 213. The first motor 211 is fixed to the panel 1 through a second motor bracket. Specifically, the first motor 211 is fixed to the first motor bracket through fasteners such as bolts, and the first motor bracket is fixed to the panel 1 through fasteners such as bolts. The first gear 212 is arranged on the output shaft of the first motor 211. A flat shaft hole is opened in the middle of the first gear 212. The shape of the output shaft of the first motor 211 is adapted to the shape of the flat shaft hole. The output shaft is inserted into the flat shaft hole to fix the output shaft and the first gear 212. Under the limiting action of the flat shaft hole, the first gear 212 rotates with the rotation of the output shaft of the first motor 211. The gear shaft 213 includes a second gear end meshing with the first gear 212 and a first connecting end for outputting power to the swing member 61. The second gear end is meshed with the first gear 212. Driven by the first gear 212, the second gear end rotates, that is, the gear shaft 213 rotates accordingly. Since the first connecting end is connected to the swing member 61, the swing member 61 also rotates with the gear shaft 213. Specifically, the rotation center line of the swing member 61 is the axis of the gear shaft 213.
[0087] Specifically, a gear shaft hole 612 matching the cross-sectional shape of the first connecting end is opened at one end of the swinging member 61 along the length direction. Figure 3As shown, the first connection end is a column with a hexagonal cross section, the gear shaft hole 612 is matched with the shape of the first connection end, the rotation of the first connection end can drive the swinging wind piece 61 to rotate, the first connection end is inserted into the gear shaft hole 612, the first motor 211 drives the first gear 212 and the gear shaft 213 to rotate, so that the gear shaft 213 drives the swinging wind piece 61 to swing with the gear shaft 213 as the axis. It can be understood that the first connection end can also be a column with a polygonal cross section such as a triangle or a quadrilateral, and the shape of the gear shaft hole 612 is set corresponding to the shape of the first connection end, so that the first connection end can drive the swinging wind piece 61 to rotate to achieve a change in wind direction. A swing member mounting shaft 613 is extended along the length direction on the outer side surface of the other end of the swing member 61 along the length direction, and the swing member mounting shaft 613 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 5, that is, the mounting bracket 5 is provided with a first circular hole at the corresponding position, and the swing member mounting shaft 613 is inserted into the first circular hole. In other words, through the supporting action of the gear shaft 213 and the swing member mounting shaft 613, the swing assembly 6 is supported in the mounting bracket 5, and the swing assembly 6 can rotate in the mounting bracket 5 along the axis of the gear shaft 213 and the swing member mounting shaft 613.
[0088] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the second driving mechanism 22 includes a second motor 221, a second gear 222 and a transmission rod 223. The second motor 221 is fixed to the panel 1 through a second motor bracket. Specifically, the second motor 221 is fixed to the second motor bracket through bolts and other fasteners, and the second motor bracket is fixed to the panel 1 through bolts and other fasteners. The second gear 222 is arranged on the output shaft of the second motor 221. A flat shaft hole is opened in the middle of the second gear 222. The shape of the output shaft of the second motor 221 is adapted to the shape of the flat shaft hole, and the output shaft is inserted into the flat shaft hole to achieve The output shaft and the second gear 222 are fixed. Under the limiting effect of the flat shaft hole, the second gear 222 rotates with the rotation of the output shaft of the second motor 221. The transmission rod 223 includes a second screw end meshed with the second gear 222 and a second connecting end for outputting power to the swing arm 63. The second screw end meshes with the second gear 222. Driven by the second gear 222, the second screw end telescopes along its length direction, that is, the transmission rod 223 telescopes. Since the second connecting end is connected to the swing arm 63, the swing arm 63 also telescopes along the transmission rod 223. Specifically, the movement direction of the swing arm 63 is the length direction of the transmission rod 223. It can be understood that the length direction of the transmission rod 223 is consistent with the length direction of the swing member 61, so that the swing arm 63 moves along the length direction of the swing member 61.
[0089] It is understandable that in order to make the structure of the driving assembly 2 more compact and reduce the occupied space, the gear shaft 213 is designed as a hollow gear shaft, the transmission rod 223 is coaxially arranged with the hollow gear shaft, and the second motor bracket is provided with an axial hole for the gear shaft 213 to pass through, and the second connecting end passes through the inner hole of the hollow gear shaft 213 and is connected to the swing arm 63, so as to realize the bidirectional swing function in a limited space. Figure 3 As shown, the length of the second connection end of the transmission rod 223 is greater than the length of the gear shaft 213, and an axial hole (or inner hole) that matches the shape of the second connection end of the transmission rod 223 is set in the middle of the gear shaft 213. The gear shaft 213 is sleeved on the second connection end, and the second connection end passes through the inner hole of the hollow gear shaft 213 and extends out from the inner hole of the hollow gear shaft 213 to connect with the swing arm 63. At the same time, the mounting bracket 5 is provided with a second circular hole at a corresponding position, and the second connection end passes through the second circular hole and is connected to the swing arm 63 to drive the swing arm 63 to move.
[0090] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 As shown, the swing wind assembly 6 also includes a shaft cover 64, a transmission rod mounting groove is provided on the swing arm 63, and the shaft cover 64 is matched and connected with the transmission rod mounting groove and sleeved on the second connecting end. That is to say, the part of the second connecting end passing through the second circular hole is fixed on the swing arm 63 through the shaft cover 64 and the transmission rod mounting groove to drive the swing arm 63 to move. Specifically, the shaft cover 64 and the transmission rod mounting groove can be snap-fitted, and a buckle is provided on any one of the shaft cover 64 and the transmission rod mounting groove, and a slot is provided on the other of the shaft cover 64 and the transmission rod mounting groove. The shaft cover 64 and the transmission rod mounting groove are fixed by the cooperation of the buckle and the slot, and the second connecting end is fixed between the shaft cover 64 and the transmission rod mounting groove, so that the swing arm 63 is driven to move through the second connecting end.
[0091] Specifically, an annular snap ring 2231 is provided at one end of the second connection end connected to the swing arm 63. Correspondingly, a first snap groove is provided on the groove wall of the transmission rod installation groove, and a second snap groove is provided at the corresponding position of the shaft cover 64. The notches of the first snap groove and the second snap groove are relatively formed together to form an annular snap groove, and the annular snap ring 2231 is limited in the annular snap groove. In other words, the second connection end is limited in the annular snap groove by the limitation of the annular snap ring 2231 in the annular snap groove, thereby driving the swing arm 63 to move through the second connection end, thereby realizing the swing of the swing leaf 62 to change the wind direction at the air outlet.
[0092] In some embodiments, a first circular hole is formed at the first end of the mounting bracket 5, and the swing member mounting shaft 613 is rotatably inserted in the first circular hole. The swing member mounting shaft 613 is formed as a rotating connecting shaft between the swing member 61 and the mounting bracket 5. That is to say, through the gear shaft 213 and the swing member mounting shaft 613 and the supporting effect, the swing assembly 6 is supported in the mounting bracket 5, and the swing assembly 6 can rotate in the mounting bracket 5 along the axis of the gear shaft 213 and the swing member mounting shaft 613; at the same time, a second circular hole is formed at the second end of the mounting bracket 5, and the second connecting end passes through the second circular hole and is inserted into the annular retaining ring 2231, and is connected to the swing arm 63 to drive the swing arm 63 to move.
[0093] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the bathroom heater also includes a negative ion generator 71 and a negative ion carbon brush 72. The negative ion generator 71 is arranged on the panel 1 (for example, the negative ion generator 71 can be arranged on a side surface of the panel 1 away from the light diffusion cover 42, and the negative ion generator 71 is arranged adjacent to the controller 3, both located in the area between the light element 41 and the air outlet 11). The negative ion carbon brush 72 is arranged at the air outlet 11 and is electrically connected to the negative ion generator 71. In this way, the negative ions generated by the negative ion generator 71 are ejected toward the air outlet 11 by the negative ion carbon brush 72, thereby sterilizing and disinfecting the airflow passing through the air outlet 11.
[0094] In some embodiments, the bathroom heater also includes a voice module and a playback module 8. The voice module is set on the panel 1 and is used to receive voice signals sent by the user. The voice module is electrically connected to the controller, and the voice controller switches the blowing mode of the bathroom heater according to the received voice signal.
[0095] Among them, the blowing mode of the bathroom heater may include starting blowing, stopping blowing, etc. Among them, starting blowing may include, for example, increasing the wind speed, reducing the wind speed, adjusting the blowing direction, etc.
[0096] This configuration enables the bathroom heater to add an offline voice function, that is, the bathroom heater can receive a voice signal output by the user and control the selection of the hair drying mode of the bathroom heater by voice. For example, the voice module can be a microphone.
[0097] In some embodiments, the bathroom heater further includes a playback module 8, and the voice module is electrically connected to the playback module 8. The playback module 8 can be a speaker, and the user can freely switch the hair drying mode in the form of voice during bathing through the voice module, and the relevant function feedback will be broadcasted in the form of audio through the playback module 8, which improves the intelligence of the bathroom heater and makes the switching mode more convenient.
[0098] In some embodiments, in some embodiments, reference Figure 2As shown, in order to improve the aesthetics of the bathroom heater product, the bathroom heater is set to a structure that can hide the air outlet. The bathroom heater also includes a sliding cover 9, which is slidably arranged at the air outlet 11 and can be switched between a sliding out position exposing the air outlet 11 and a retracted position covering the air outlet 11 relative to the panel 1. That is to say, when the blowing function is not in use, the sliding cover 9 is in the retracted position, and the air outlet 11 of the bathroom heater is hidden under the sliding cover 9. When the blowing function is used, the sliding cover 9 is slid so that the sliding cover 9 is in the sliding out position, and the air outlet 11 is exposed on the ceiling, delivering hot air to the bathroom to increase the indoor temperature, so that the appearance of the bathroom heater is smooth, simple and atmospheric, and the user's feeling of use is improved.
[0099] In summary, the bathroom heater provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a swinging wind component 6 and a driving component 2 connected to the swinging wind component 6, makes the swinging wind component 6 swingably set at the air outlet 11, and a detector is provided on the panel 1 at a position staggered from the air outlet 11, the detector is used to detect the specific position of the user, and by providing a controller, the controller is electrically connected to the detector and the driving component 2 respectively, so that the driving component 2 drives the swinging wind component 6 to swing relative to the air outlet 11 according to the position signal detected by the detector, so as to adjust the air outlet direction at the air outlet 11. In this way, while expanding the blowing range of the bathroom heater, it is also possible to realize that the air outlet direction of the air outlet 11 changes with the real-time position of the user, so that the bathroom heater can realize that the wind always blows towards the user or the wind always avoids the user according to the user's blowing needs, that is, realizes the function of wind chasing people and wind avoiding people, and improves the user experience of the swingable bathroom heater; at the same time, the detector is set away from the air outlet 11 to avoid the detector being directly blown by the wind and affecting the service life and detection accuracy.
