Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bathroom heaters, and in particular to a low-standby bathroom heater ceiling control system with an Internet of Things expansion function. Background Art

[0002] In the current field of bathroom heater integrated ceiling, the trend of intelligent control has been unstoppable, but there is still a technical dispute between traditional switch control and wireless control. Although there are still technical and cost factors, they are no longer the main contradiction. At present, these two technologies have their own outstanding defects.

[0003] There are currently three main technical routes:

[0004] The first type is fixed-function mechanical switch operation. Each function of the host corresponds to a function button controlled by the 86 box, mainly including lighting, blowing, ventilation, weak heating and strong heating. There may be some adjustment functions. The disadvantage is that the more functions a functional mechanical switch has, the more complicated the installation and wiring, and the more expensive the installation cost. At the same time, the mechanical high-voltage switch is prone to arcing and injuring people in a humid environment, especially after bathing. At the same time, due to the large number of buttons, the user's operation is relatively complicated.

[0005] The second type is wireless RF control. The movable or fixed 86 wireless controller remotely controls the host main control panel to realize various functions. Each function of the host corresponds to a function button controlled by the 86 box, mainly including lighting, blowing, ventilation, weak heating, strong heating, and shutdown. There may be some more adjustment functions. Although wireless remote control operation solves the problem of complex wiring during installation, since the mains power is always connected to the host and is in standby mode for a long time, it increases energy consumption and affects the life of the host. Permanent power outage means huge safety hazards under unmanned conditions, and there are many cases of fires in the industry;

[0006] The third type is data wired communication control - through the data bus, low-voltage control signal transmission is realized to control the bathroom heater. Each function of the host corresponds to a function button controlled by the 86 box, mainly including lighting, blowing, ventilation, weak heating, strong heating, and shutdown. There may be more adjustment functions. It will also have the problems of increased energy consumption, affecting the life of the host, and great safety hazards in the second solution.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a low-standby bathroom heater ceiling control system with IoT expansion function that can solve the defects of wired connection and wireless connection and take into account the advantages of both while solving the defects. Utility Model Content

[0009] The utility model proposes a low-standby bathroom heater ceiling control system with IoT expansion function, including a main control board and a bathroom heater integrated ceiling;

[0010] The bathroom heater integrated ceiling is connected to the main power supply through the main control board, and the main control board can control whether the bathroom heater integrated ceiling is powered on;

[0011] A first wireless module is arranged on the main control board, and a second wireless module is arranged on the bathroom heater integrated ceiling. Through the cooperation between the first wireless module and the second wireless module, the main control board can send a control signal to the bathroom heater integrated ceiling and control the operation of corresponding electrical equipment.

[0012] Preferably, the main control board includes a main control board control chip, a power supply module and a relay. The two output ends of the power supply module are respectively connected to the main control board control chip and the relay. One of the output pins of the main control board control chip is connected to the control end of the relay. The live wire of the AC power is connected to the positive pole of the bathroom heater integrated ceiling through the relay, so that the main control board control chip can control whether the bathroom heater integrated ceiling is powered on through the relay.

[0016] Preferably, the main control board is also provided with connectable terminals, and different IoT modules are connected to the connectable terminals to give the main control board different sensing capabilities, thereby achieving more powerful control functions.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the low standby bathroom heater ceiling control system with IoT expansion function of the utility model are:

[0018] 1. The bathroom heater integrated ceiling is isolated from the mains power by a relay, which disconnects the mains power and the bathroom heater integrated ceiling when silent, improves the safety of the bathroom heater integrated ceiling, reduces standby power consumption, and increases the life of the bathroom heater integrated ceiling.
