[0035] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This embodiment provides a bathroom heater with a hidden air outlet. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a host 2; an air duct structure 3, which is arranged on the host 1, and the air duct structure 3 includes an air duct outlet 31; a mask 1, which is arranged on the host 2, and the mask 1 is provided with a blowing port 11, and the blowing port 11 is staggered with the air duct outlet 31, so that the projection area of ​​the blowing port 11 on the air duct outlet 31 is smaller than the area of ​​the air duct outlet 31. Relative to the blowing port 11 staggered with the air duct outlet 31, when the user looks at the top of the bathroom heater panel indoors, the air duct outlet 31 of the air duct structure 3 is blocked by the blowing port 11, so that the exposed area of ​​the air duct outlet 31 is reduced. In the prior art, the air duct outlet 31 of the air duct structure in the bathroom heater is exposed and needs to be blocked by a grille. In this embodiment, the air duct outlet 31 is blocked by the blowing port 11 itself, and there is no need to set an additional grille, so that the exposed part of the air duct outlet 31 is reduced. At the same time, in the prior art, dust easily accumulates on the surface of the grille facing the air duct outlet. When the bathroom heater is working, dust is sucked into the bathroom heater, which affects the service life of the bathroom heater. Dust is blown into the room as the bathroom heater works, affecting the user experience. This embodiment removes the grille that is prone to dust accumulation, and uses the air outlet 11 itself to block the air duct outlet 31, solving the problem of dust accumulation on the grille affecting the user experience.

[0038] Further, the air duct structure 3 of this embodiment is not specifically limited. The air duct structure 3 may be partially located in the main unit 2, or may be completely located in the main unit 2. As an alternative implementation, the air duct structure 3 is located outside the main unit 2.

[0039] There is no specific limitation on the structure of the host 2. In this embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the host 2 includes a housing 21, and the housing 21 is usually provided with an exhaust port 22. As an alternative embodiment, the housing 21 is not provided with an exhaust port. A fan is provided in the air duct structure 3, or the air duct structure 3 is connected to other air blowing equipment to output airflow to the air duct outlet 31.

[0040] Further, in this embodiment, the mask 1 is connected to the housing 21 of the host 2. As an alternative embodiment, the mask 1 and the host 2 can be connected in other indirect ways.

[0041] In this embodiment, the specific degree of misalignment between the air outlet 11 and the air duct outlet 31 is not limited. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the projection area of ​​the air outlet 11 on the air duct outlet 31 is zero, and the two are completely staggered. Figure 1 From the user's perspective of looking at the bathroom heater, the air duct outlet 31 and the mask where the air outlet 11 is located are completely blocked. As an alternative embodiment, the air duct outlet 31 is partially exposed. That is, Figure 1 From the viewing angle, part of the air duct outlet 31 can be seen through the air outlet 11 .

[0042] On the basis of the above embodiments, as a further limited implementation method, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the bathroom heater of this embodiment also includes: an air guide surface, which is located between the air outlet and the air duct outlet, and one end of the air guide surface extends toward the air outlet, and the other end extends toward the host.

[0043] There is no limit on the specific number of air guide surfaces. Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment, two wind guide surfaces are used as an example, and the two wind guide surfaces are respectively a first wind guide surface 12 and a second wind guide surface 13. As an alternative embodiment, the number of wind guide surfaces can be one or more than two. When there is one wind guide surface, Figure 4 In the viewing angle, only the first air guide surface 12 on the right is retained. At this time, the first air guide surface 12 extends from the air outlet 11 toward the main unit 2. The first air guide surface 12 can block the view of the space between the main unit 2 and the mask 1. Figure 1 When looking at the bathroom heater from a viewing angle, the first air guide surface 12 can block the line of sight. Figure 4From the perspective, only the second wind guiding surface 13 on the left side is retained, which can block the line of sight on the one hand, and guide the airflow to be discharged toward the air outlet 11 on the other hand.

[0044] On the basis of the above implementation manner, as a further limited implementation manner, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the wind guide surface is inclined. The projection of the inclined first wind guide surface on the air outlet 11 is greater than zero, which not only plays a role in shielding the space between the mask 1 and the host 2, but also plays a role in shielding the air outlet 11. Figure 1 From the perspective, the opening hole of the air outlet 11 cannot be seen when observing the bathroom heater, which plays a role in hiding the air outlet 11 of the bathroom heater. Furthermore, the air guide surface can also play a role in guiding the air flow from the air duct outlet 31 to the air outlet 11.

[0045] On the basis of the above implementation manner, as a further limited implementation manner, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, an air guiding channel is formed between the first air guiding surface 12 and the second air guiding surface 13. The air guiding channel further improves the smoothness of air blowing from the air blowing port 11.

[0046] There is no restriction on the location of the wind guide surface. In this embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the air guide surface is arranged on the air outlet 11. Specifically, one end of the first air guide surface 12 and the second air guide surface 13 are connected to the air outlet 11, and the other end extends toward the host 2. As an alternative embodiment, the air guide surface is arranged at other parts of the mask 1. As another alternative embodiment, the air guide surface is arranged on the housing 21 or the air duct outlet 31. As another alternative embodiment, the air guide surface is arranged on the air collecting plate.

[0047] Based on the above implementation, as a further limited implementation, Figure 4 An extension portion 14 may be provided at the top and / or bottom of the wind guide surface from a viewing angle, and abut against the air duct outlet 31 and / or the air blowing port 11, so as to further improve the smoothness of the wind guiding of the wind guide surface.

[0048] On the basis of the above implementation manner, as a further limited implementation manner, Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air guiding channel gradually decreases in the direction close to the air blowing port 11. The air guiding channel can increase the wind speed before the air flows out of the air blowing port 11.

[0049] On the basis of the above implementation manner, as a further limited implementation manner, Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the wind guide surface is provided with a turbulent flow structure 15. The turbulent flow structure 15 can make the passing wind form a swirling turbulent flow, and the wind will blow farther.

[0050] Specifically, as a preferred embodiment, the turbulent structure 15 is a convex structure. The convex structure includes a plurality of convex units, and the convex units include one or more of the following shapes: strip, wave, circle, triangle. As an alternative embodiment, the turbulent structure 15 is a concave structure, and the concave structure is a spherical pit, which can refer to the surface of a golf ball.

[0051] Further, as a preferred embodiment, the turbulence structure 15 is disposed on the first wind guide surface 12. As another alternative embodiment, the turbulence structure 15 is disposed on the second wind guide surface 13.

[0052] On the basis of the above implementation manner, as a further limited implementation manner, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the blowing port 11 is arranged near the edge of the mask. Since the blowing port 11 can block the air duct outlet 31, the blowing port 11 arranged near the edge can leave more space on the bathroom heater mask for functional design and shaping. As an alternative embodiment, the blowing port 11 is arranged in the middle part of the mask. Furthermore, when the blowing port 11 arranged at the edge is configured with the wind guide surface or the wind guide channel in the above embodiment, the wind can be sent to a farther place, thereby increasing the air supply range. In addition to the function of increasing the temperature of the space below the bathroom heater, the bathroom heater also has the ability to increase the temperature of a larger range of spaces in the bathroom.

[0053] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the blowing port is in a strip shape. As an alternative embodiment, the blowing port is in an annular, circular, broken line or wavy shape.

[0054] There is no specific limitation on the number of air outlets. In this embodiment, there are two air outlets. As an alternative embodiment, the number of air outlets is one or more than three. More than two air outlets further increase the air supply range of the bathroom heater.

[0055] On the basis of the above implementation, the bathroom heater of this embodiment further includes: a lighting module 16, which is arranged between the two air outlets. The lighting module 16 can provide lighting and / or functional lighting for the bathroom space, and the functional lighting includes beauty therapy lighting. Specifically, the air outlet 11 is arranged on the side close to the length direction of the mask. Under the same air outlet area, the length of the air outlet 11 can be made longer, and the width of the air outlet 11 can be made shorter. The blank space on the bathroom heater mask is increased. In this embodiment, the lighting module 16 is arranged in the above blank space, and the user can use it to adjust the air outlet 11. Figure 1Most of what is seen from the viewing angle is light, and it is difficult to directly see the air outlet 11, which further improves the concealment of the air outlet 11, and the large-area lighting module 16 can improve the aesthetics of the product. As a further limited embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a trapezoidal space for arranging the lighting module 16 is formed between the inclined second wind guide surfaces 13, which just matches the lighting characteristics of the lighting lamp. A diffusion plate is arranged on the top of the trapezoidal space, which can improve the lighting effect of the lighting module and increase the compactness of the structural arrangement on the mask 1.

[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
