Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of indoor environment control, in particular to an atomization drainage structure and a bathroom heater. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of living conditions and the continuous improvement of living standards, modern families have higher requirements for the comfort of indoor environment. As a special functional area in the home, the environmental comfort of the bathroom is particularly concerned. In the bathroom, due to the frequent generation of a large amount of water vapor in daily activities such as showering and bathing, the indoor humidity rises sharply. This increase in humidity not only reduces the user's comfort experience, but also may cause a series of problems, such as mold growth and damp items. In winter, the lower temperature in the bathroom exacerbates the discomfort when bathing, and users often feel cold and inconvenient.

[0003] In order to meet these challenges, the bathroom heater is a household appliance product launched on the market. The bathroom heater integrates multiple functions such as lighting, heating and ventilation, aiming to provide users with a warm and dry bathroom environment. Despite this, existing bathroom heater products still have some limitations in practical applications: the dehumidification capacity of traditional bathroom heaters is limited, and they mainly rely on simple ventilation to reduce humidity. When faced with a high humidity environment, it is often difficult to remove moisture quickly and effectively, and cannot meet the user's demand for a dry environment; secondly, while discharging moisture, the bathroom heater will also take away indoor heat, especially in winter, which will cause the bathroom temperature to drop and reduce the user's bathing experience. In order to stay warm, users have to extend the use time of the bathroom heater, which increases energy consumption.

[0004] In addition, some users choose to install independent dehumidifiers in the bathroom to improve the humidity problem. However, independent dehumidifiers are usually large in size, occupying valuable bathroom space, especially for smaller bathrooms, which will appear more crowded. Moreover, the condensed water generated during the operation of the dehumidifier needs to be discharged through the drain pipe, which brings many inconveniences to installation and use. In particular, installing a drain pipe in a renovated bathroom requires grooving the wall or floor, which is time-consuming and laborious. If the drain pipe is not installed properly or the drainage is not smooth, it may cause water leakage, equipment damage and other problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0034] Example 1.

[0035] Before introducing the atomizing drainage structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the application scenario of the atomizing drainage structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced as follows:

[0036] The atomizing drainage structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is mainly used in a bathroom heater, which is intended to solve the problem that the traditional bathroom heater has poor dehumidification effect in a high humidity environment and causes the indoor temperature to drop when discharging moisture. At present, in the relevant technology, the bathroom heater integrates multiple functions such as lighting, heating and ventilation, but the dehumidification function of the traditional bathroom heater mainly relies on the basic ventilation mechanism, which is often incapable of doing so when facing a high humidity environment, and it is difficult to achieve an efficient dehumidification effect. In addition, in the process of discharging moisture, the bathroom heater often discharges the indoor heat together, which is particularly obvious in winter, causing the temperature in the bathroom to drop, affecting the user's bathing experience. In order to improve the dehumidification effect of the bathroom heater, one solution is to integrate the dehumidifier with the bathroom heater, use the dehumidification function of the dehumidifier to reduce the humidity in the bathroom, and retain the lighting and heating functions of the bathroom heater, thereby providing users with a more comfortable bathing environment. However, it is not easy to integrate a dehumidifier with a bathroom heater. First of all, a large amount of condensed water will be generated during the operation of the dehumidifier. How to drain the condensed water efficiently and safely is an urgent problem to be solved. Secondly, traditional dehumidifiers usually need to be connected to drainage pipes to drain the condensed water. This leads to the installation of drainage pipes in the renovated bathroom, which requires grooving the wall or floor. The construction is complicated and costly, which brings inconvenience to users. Moreover, if the drainage pipe is improperly installed or the drainage is not smooth, it may cause leakage, damage the bathroom heater or other bathroom facilities, and even endanger the safety of the user.

[0037] The following will describe in detail the atomization drainage structure 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atomizing drainage structure 100 includes a ventilation channel 10, a water receiving tray 20 and an atomizer 30, wherein the ventilation channel 10 connects the target space and the external space; the water receiving tray 20 is used to receive condensed water generated by the load equipment during operation; and the atomizer 30 is matched with the water receiving tray 20, and is used to atomize the condensed water collected in the water receiving tray 20 into water mist particles; the water mist particles are discharged to the external space together with the air in the target space through the ventilation channel 10.

[0038] When implementing it, Figure 3 As shown, take the load device as a bathroom heater with dehumidification function as an example:

[0039] The ventilation channel 10 connects the bathroom space (target space) where the bathroom heater is located and the outside space, for example, is connected to the exhaust fan or vent of the bathroom through a pipe, and is used to discharge the humid air in the bathroom to the outside to maintain air circulation in the bathroom; the water receiving tray 20 is arranged inside the bathroom heater, below the dehumidification component, and is used to collect condensed water generated by the bathroom heater during the dehumidification process, and the atomizer 30 is connected to the water receiving tray 20, for example, through a pipe or a direct connection, and is used to atomize the condensed water collected in the water receiving tray 20 into fine water mist particles.

[0040] When the dehumidification function of the bathroom heater is activated, the water vapor in the air will be condensed into water droplets, which will drip into the water receiving tray 20. When the water level in the water receiving tray 20 reaches a preset height, the atomizer 30 will atomize the condensed water into fine water mist particles, which will be discharged from the bathroom together with the air discharged from the ventilation channel 10 and finally discharged into the outdoor environment.

[0041] Through this design, all the condensed water generated by the bathroom heater during the dehumidification process is discharged to the outside after being atomized, completely eliminating the need for traditional drainage pipes. This not only simplifies the installation process of the bathroom heater and reduces the installation workload, but is also especially suitable for the renovation of completed bathrooms. There is no need to reserve installation space for drainage pipes, saving precious bathroom space, improving space utilization efficiency, and making the bathroom layout more flexible and user-friendly.

[0042] In one implementation of this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, at least one first fan 11 is disposed in the ventilation channel 10 ; the atomizer 30 has a mist output pipe 31 , and the mist output pipe 31 extends into the ventilation channel 10 to guide the atomized water mist particles to the ventilation channel 10 .

[0043] During specific implementation, when the condensed water is atomized into fine water mist particles by the atomizer 30, the first fan 11 will continue to operate to generate airflow in the ventilation channel 10. At this time, the water mist particles generated by the atomizer 30 enter the ventilation channel 10 through the mist output pipe 31. Driven by the airflow, the water mist particles will be discharged from the bathroom along with the air, and finally discharged into the outdoor environment, ensuring that even when a large amount of condensed water is generated, the first fan 11 can ensure the continuous discharge of water mist particles, thereby avoiding the accumulation of water mist inside the bathroom heater and preventing poor drainage or blockage.

[0044] In another example, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atomizer 30 is connected to the water receiving tray 20 via a water inlet pipe 32, and the mist output pipe 31 is provided with a bent portion 33 for avoiding the water inlet pipe 32. In specific implementation, the water inlet pipe 32 can be bent or adjusted according to actual conditions to make the structural layout more compact, and the bent portion 33 of the mist output pipe 31 can avoid interference with the water inlet pipe 32 in a compact layout, ensuring smooth pipeline operation.

[0045] In one implementation of this embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, a signal sensor 21 (e.g., a liquid level sensor) electrically connected to the atomizer 30 is provided in the water receiving tray 20, and the signal sensor 21 is used to detect the liquid level height in the water receiving tray 20 in real time; the atomizer 30 is configured to start when the signal sensor 21 detects that the liquid level height in the water receiving tray 20 reaches a preset liquid level threshold.

[0046] During specific implementation, the signal sensor 21 is arranged inside the water receiving tray 20, and is used to monitor the liquid level height in the water receiving tray in real time. For example, a float type liquid level sensor, a capacitive liquid level sensor or an ultrasonic liquid level sensor can be used. When the dehumidification function of the bathroom heater is activated, condensed water will be collected in the water receiving tray 20, and the signal sensor 21 will monitor the liquid level height in the water receiving tray 20 in real time, and transmit the detected liquid level signal to the atomizer 30. When the liquid level signal reaches or exceeds the preset threshold, it indicates that the condensed water in the water receiving tray has reached a certain amount and needs to be drained. At this time, the atomizer 30 is started to atomize the condensed water and discharge it. When the liquid level signal is lower than the preset threshold, it indicates that the amount of condensed water in the water receiving tray is small and does not need to be drained. At this time, the atomizer 30 will stop working to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.

[0047] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the atomizer 30 is an ultrasonic atomizer. In the present embodiment, the ultrasonic atomizer uses high-frequency vibration to atomize water molecules into fine particles, has high atomization efficiency, can quickly convert condensed water into water mist, and form uniform water mist particles, which is conducive to the rapid discharge of water mist. At the same time, compared with other types of atomizers, such as compressed air atomizers or centrifugal atomizers, the ultrasonic atomizer has a simpler structure, a small size, and is easy to integrate into the bathroom heater, which can maintain the compactness of the overall structure of the bathroom heater without taking up too much space.

[0048] On the other hand, Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a bathroom heater 200, including a dehumidification component 40 and a humidification component 50, wherein the dehumidification component 40 is used to dehumidify the air in the target space where the bathroom heater 200 is located; and the heating element 50 is used to heat the air in the target space where the bathroom heater 200 is located; the bathroom heater 200 further includes the atomization drainage structure 100 described in any embodiment of the first aspect, which is used to atomize the condensed water generated when the dehumidification component 40 is working.

[0049] When implementing it, Figure 4 As shown, the bathroom heater 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a housing 60, and the dehumidification component 40, the heating element 50 and the atomization drainage structure 100 described in any embodiment of the first aspect are all arranged in the housing 60. In order to improve the overall aesthetics and stability of the bathroom heater 200, when installing the bathroom heater 200, it can be matched with the ceiling 70 of the bathroom, for example, Figure 5As shown, the casing 60 of the bathroom heater 200 is hung on the mounting bracket 61, and the casing 60 of the bathroom heater 200 is embedded in the suspended ceiling 70, or the mounting bracket 61 of the bathroom heater 200 is hidden inside the suspended ceiling 70, so that the bathroom heater 200 is integrated with the suspended ceiling 70, enhancing the visual coordination, while also avoiding exposure of the bathroom heater 200, reducing the risk of bumps and damages, and improving safety.

[0050] Specifically, if Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the dehumidification component 40 includes a circulating air duct 41 and a compressor 42, an evaporator 43, a condenser 44 and a second fan 45 arranged in the circulating air duct 41, the water receiving tray 20 is arranged below the condenser 44, the atomizer 30 is arranged in the circulating air duct 41 and is connected to the water receiving tray 20 through a pipe; the heating element 50 is arranged at the outlet end of the circulating air duct 41.

[0051] In this way, when dehumidification is needed, the second fan 45 is started, and the humid air in the bathroom enters through the inlet end of the circulating air duct 41, first passes through the evaporator 43, the surface temperature of the evaporator 43 is lower than the dew point temperature of the air, so the water vapor in the air will condense into water droplets on the surface of the evaporator 43, and the condensed water will drip along the surface of the evaporator 43 into the water receiving tray 20 below, and the dried air continues to flow in the circulating air duct 41, passes through the condenser 44, and the condenser 44 will release the heat of the refrigerant into the air, so that the air temperature is slightly increased, and finally, the dry and slightly increased temperature air is sent back to the bathroom through the outlet of the circulating air duct 41, avoiding the temperature of the bathroom from dropping due to dehumidification. In addition, the heating element 50 is arranged at the outlet end of the circulating air duct 41, so that the user can enjoy a dry and comfortable bathing experience in winter, while effectively preventing water vapor condensation, slippery ground, and inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold.

[0052] In this embodiment, the heating element 50 adopts a PTC heater with self-temperature control characteristics to adjust its heating power by changing the applied voltage or current, thereby achieving more precise temperature control. Compared with the traditional electric heating wire heater, the PTC heater can respond to temperature changes more quickly and can maintain the set temperature more stably to avoid the temperature being too high or too low.

[0053] In one implementation of this embodiment, if Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a first air valve 411 is provided in the circulating air duct 41, and the compressor 42, the evaporator 43, the condenser 44, the second fan 45, the water receiving tray 20 and the atomizer 30 are all located between the first air valve 411 and the inlet end of the circulating air duct 41; the ventilation channel 10 is connected to the circulating air duct 41, and a second air valve 12 is provided in the ventilation channel 10, and the water mist particles atomized by the atomizer 30 are discharged through the second air valve 12.

[0054] With this structural design, the air flow path can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the opening and closing states of the first air valve 411 and the second air valve 12 to achieve different working modes. Specifically, when the bathroom heater device needs to perform a dehumidification operation, the first air valve 411 is opened and the second air valve 12 is closed, guiding the air flow through the circulation duct 41, passing through the compressor, evaporator and condenser in sequence to achieve a dehumidification effect. On the contrary, when the goal is to exchange air to update the indoor air, the first air valve 411 is closed and the second air valve 12 is opened, so that the air is directly discharged to the outside of the bathroom through the ventilation duct 10. This design allows the circulation duct 41 and the ventilation duct 10 to share an air inlet 41a, thereby reducing the number of air inlets required and the total length of the air duct, which not only simplifies the overall structure of the device, but also significantly reduces the space occupied, making the bathroom heater device more suitable for installation in a bathroom environment with limited space.

[0055] In another example, if Figure 5 As shown, the ceiling 70 is provided with an air outlet assembly 41c, which is directly connected to the exhaust port 41b of the circulating air duct 41 through a pipeline. Such a layout allows the air outlet assembly 41c to be flexibly installed at any ideal position of the ceiling 70, such as the center of the bathroom, so as to ensure that the dry air after dehumidification can be evenly distributed in the entire bathroom space, greatly improving the user's comfort and experience. In addition, the air outlet assembly 41c is placed on the ceiling 70, which effectively increases the distance between the exhaust port 41b and the housing 60 and the air inlet 41a, effectively avoiding the mixing of humid air with the dehumidified dry air in the bottom area of ​​the housing 60, and reducing the possibility of dry air being re-inhaled in the ventilation channel 10, so as to maintain a higher dehumidification efficiency, while ensuring that the air in the bathroom always remains fresh and comfortable.

[0056] In addition, in the present embodiment, the structural design of the ventilation channel 10 connected to the first air valve 411 and the inlet end of the circulating air duct 41 can eliminate the provision of the first fan 11, because the second fan 45 is sufficient to drive and guide the air flow. Such optimization not only reduces the cost, but also simplifies the equipment structure, which is particularly suitable for bathroom environments with limited space.

[0057] In one implementation of this embodiment, if Figure 7As shown, a partition 412 is provided in the circulating air duct 41, and the partition 412 divides the circulating air duct 41 into a first working area and a second working area; the second fan 45 is a volute fan installed on the partition 412, and the first working area and the second working area are connected through the volute fan; the atomizer 30, the first air valve 411 and the second air valve 12 are all arranged in the second working area, and the compressor 42, the evaporator 43, the condenser 44 and the water receiving tray 20 are all arranged in the first working area.

[0058] In specific implementation, the first working area is specially used to place the dehumidification component 40, including the compressor 42, the evaporator 43, the condenser 44, and the water receiving tray 20 for collecting the condensed water generated during the dehumidification process. Such a layout makes the dehumidification process more centralized and efficient, and is convenient for the collection and subsequent treatment of the condensed water. In the second working area, an atomizer 30, a first air valve 411 and a second air valve 12 are configured. The function of the atomizer 30 is to atomize the condensed water collected in the water receiving tray 20 into fine water mist particles. Therefore, the atomizer 30 is arranged in the second working area to prevent the atomized water vapor from re-entering the dehumidification area, thereby ensuring the maximization of the dehumidification effect. Through this structural layout, the bathroom heater equipment can more flexibly adapt to different usage requirements while maintaining the compactness of the equipment.

[0059] In one implementation of this embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the atomizer 30 is disposed between the volute fan (second fan 45) and the first air valve 411, and the height of the atomizer 300 is located below the height of the air outlet of the volute fan. With this structural design, the space between the volute fan and the first air valve 411 is fully utilized, and the atomizer 30 is prevented from being directly exposed to the main airflow of the circulating air duct 41, thereby reducing its interference with the airflow.

[0060] The atomizing drainage structure and bathroom heater provided in this embodiment atomize the condensed water generated during the dehumidification process into fine water mist particles, and directly discharge them to the outside through the ventilation channel of the bathroom heater, completely getting rid of the constraints of relying on drainage pipes and realizing true pipeless drainage. This not only simplifies the installation process and reduces the occupation of bathroom space, but also avoids leakage and maintenance problems caused by drainage pipes, providing users with a more convenient and clean use experience. In addition, while adopting atomizing drainage, the bathroom heater of the utility model also has the ability to quickly reduce the humidity of the bathroom, effectively inhibiting the growth of mold, thereby protecting the health of users, which not only improves the bathing comfort of users, but also helps to maintain the dryness and cleanliness of items in the bathroom and prolong their service life.
