Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly relates to a panel assembly and a bathroom heater. Background Art

[0002] The bathroom heater is a commonly used device in modern bathrooms, which is a bathroom device integrating multiple functions such as lighting, heating, and ventilation, and is usually installed on the ceiling of the bathroom. Among them, the panel usually adopts a flame-retardant PC panel, which has high gloss and good heat resistance, can self-extinguish, and protects the safety of users. The lighting part generally uses cold white light to provide a bright lighting effect.

[0003] For the current bathroom heaters on the market, most of their panel parts adopt a horizontal sliding form. Taking the bathroom heater disclosed in the patent document CN220601602U as an example, it is provided with a sliding cover that can hide the air outlet. The sliding mechanism slides relative to the panel through the driving arm to drive the sliding cover to slide relative to the panel. If the sliding of the sliding cover is to be supported, sufficient space is required to face outward in its sliding direction.

[0004] In practical applications, when the bathroom heater is installed on the ceiling of the bathroom, the above structure requires that the panel, the sliding cover, and the air outlet part all need to be exposed below the ceiling. To ensure good light effect of the panel, the distance between the lamp beads and the light-emitting surface needs to be guaranteed, which easily leads to the panel lamp part exposed below the ceiling being particularly thick, affecting the overall beauty of the bathroom heater. The thick appearance will also bring a sense of depression to users and affect the user experience. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies in the related technologies, the utility model provides a panel assembly and a bathroom heater.

[0066] Embodiment 1:

[0067] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 as shown, in a schematic embodiment of the panel assembly of the present utility model, the panel assembly 1 includes: a panel base 11, a panel body 12 and a connector 14. The panel body 12 includes a first panel 12A and a second panel 12B. An air outlet E is provided in the middle of the panel base 11. A light source assembly 121 for providing illumination is provided on the first panel 12A and / or the second panel 12B. The light board of the light source assembly 121 is provided with alternately distributed white light and / or colored light beads for providing white light and / or colored light illumination to achieve direct downward light emission. The first panel 12A and the second panel 12B are arranged below the panel base 11 and are connected to the panel base 11 through a driving mechanism 13. Wherein, the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B have a first position for covering the lower surface of the panel base 11 and a second position away from the air outlet E by moving through the driving mechanism 13. The first position is as Figure 1 shown, that is, the position where the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B are closed to the panel base 11. Conversely, the second position is the position where the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B are rotated to one side of the air outlet E.

[0068] In another embodiment, one or both of the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B can be set as a decorative panel or a decorative panel can be added to the outer layer of the light source assembly. Further, a hollowed-out pattern can be provided on the decorative panel, such as dot matrix hollowing, line hollowing, pattern hollowing, hierarchical hollowing, functional hollowing, etc. to achieve a specific lighting effect.

[0069] In another embodiment, the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B further have a third position between the first position and the second position. When the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B are in the second position or the third position, there is a gap d communicating with the air between the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B and the panel base respectively. For example, the first position is the state where the bathroom heater is not turned on or only provides illumination, and the third position is the blowing mode, heating mode, sterilization mode or ventilation mode in which the air outlet E is completely exposed. Among them, the sterilization mode or the ventilation mode does not depend on whether the air outlet E is exposed, as long as the air inlet is communicated with the indoor air.

[0070] Combined with reference to Figure 9As shown, the connector 14 is used to electrically connect the controller (not shown in the figure) and the power supply module (not shown in the figure) of the integrated ceiling heater, so as to obtain power supply to provide electrical energy for the light source assembly 121 and the drive mechanism, and receive the control signal of the controller to control the light source assembly and the drive mechanism to realize the closing or unfolding of the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B, that is, in the first position or the second position. The connector 14 is a terminal block, a wiring port, or a wireless power supply coil and a wireless communication interface. Whether in a wired or wireless form, any connector that can transmit the electrical energy and signals required for the normal operation of the panel assembly falls within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0071] In addition, there are also provided: an LED drive circuit and a motor drive circuit. The LED drive circuit is electrically connected to the light source assembly 121 and is used to drive the white light beads or color light beads on the lamp board to provide illumination according to the control signal; the motor drive circuit is electrically connected to the controller and the drive motor 131 and is used to control the drive motor 131 according to the control instruction.

[0072] The first panel 12A and the second panel 12B provided with the light source assembly include a front shell 123 and a rear shell 124 which are detachably connected. The lamp board is fixed on the rear shell 124, and the front shell 123 is fixed on the rear shell 124 by means of buckles and / or dispensing. The beads on the lamp board are distributed in a mixed and alternating manner to achieve the light-emitting effect of the full screen of the front shell 123. Especially, dispensing on the basis of buckle connection enhances the stability and sealing performance of the connection, effectively prevents the intrusion of water vapor and dust, and extends the service life.

[0073] In the above embodiment, a minimum value is configured for the gaps at the second position and the third position, and the minimum value is set to be greater than or equal to 7 millimeters. Since the gap is small, it allows the integrated ceiling heater to ventilate smoothly without noise. This minimum value can be flexibly set according to the ventilation volume of the integrated ceiling heater. When the ventilation volume is large, the configuration of this minimum value can be increased, and vice versa.

[0074] In the above embodiment, through the driving mechanism 13, the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B can reciprocate relative to the panel base 11 in an opposing manner, thereby generating displacements in the vertical and horizontal directions relative to the panel base 11 along the movement trajectory. Based on the combination of the vertical and horizontal positions, the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B after movement expand outward on both sides. Unlike existing sliding-moving bathroom heaters that require the entire panel, sliding cover, and air outlet part to be completely exposed below the ceiling, the panel assembly 1 can be partially or completely embedded in the ceiling, without occupying additional bathroom space, reducing or omitting the thickness of the exposed part of the panel assembly 1, presenting a thin and beautiful visual effect, and also enhancing the overall aesthetics; through the panel base 11, the panel assembly 1 can be integrated with the bathroom heater main unit as an accessory module without modifying the existing bathroom heater main unit, which is easy to upgrade and maintain. Specifically, after connecting the signal wires, power wires, etc. of the panel assembly 1 to the bathroom heater main unit using a connector and testing that the hardware is correct, perform the firmware upgrade for the corresponding control of the panel assembly 1 part. The user only needs to replace the new panel assembly 1 and the corresponding connector to achieve the upgrade, thus saving the cost of replacing the entire bathroom heater and greatly reducing the installation and modification costs, improving the flexibility of the bathroom heater, and enabling the user to choose different panel assemblies 1 according to personal preferences and needs.

[0075] It should be noted that the number of driving mechanisms 13 can be set to one or multiple. When the driving mechanism 13 is set to one, the driving mechanism 13 corresponds to the center of the air outlet E to reduce costs, and the first panel 12A or the second panel 12B is connected to the driving mechanism 13 through a transmission structure. When the driving mechanism 13 is set to multiple, the driving mechanisms 13 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center of the air outlet E. As Figure 2 shown, in this application, two groups of driving mechanisms 13 are set to be symmetrically arranged. By setting multiple driving mechanisms 13, the movement of the panel body 12 is made more stable.

[0076] Referring to Figure 6 shown, the driving mechanism 13 includes: a driving motor 131 and a link mechanism. The driving motor 131 is electrically connected to the controller through a connector; wherein, the link mechanism includes: a driving swing arm 132 and a driven swing arm 133. The first ends of the driving swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 are respectively rotatably fixedly connected with swing arm brackets 134, and each swing arm bracket 134 is fixed to the panel base 11. Figure 2The middle swing arm bracket 134 adopts a split structure, that is, the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 respectively have their own independent swing arm brackets 134. The combined and split mechanisms between any active swing arm 132 and driven swing arm 133 or between the active swing arms 132 and driven swing arms 133 of the two drive mechanisms all fall within the protection scope of this application. The first ends of the active swing arm 132 and / or the driven swing arm 133 are drivingly connected to the drive motor 131, and the second ends are respectively rotatably and fixedly connected to the first panel 12A or the second panel 12B. The rotational connection can ensure that the first panel 12A or the second panel 12B always faces downward under the action of gravity. The first panel 12A or the second panel 12B, the corresponding active swing arm 132, driven swing arm 133 and swing arm bracket 134 form a four-bar linkage structure. The active swing arm 132 and / or the driven swing arm 133, as the driving rod of the four-bar linkage structure, drives the first panel 12A or the second panel 12B. According to the actual installation position, within the swing arm bracket 134, the installation directions of the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 can be adaptively adjusted, or the shape of the swing arm bracket 134 can be adaptively adjusted.

[0077] Further referring to Figure 3 As shown, the swing arm bracket 134 is arranged on the panel base 11, protruding from one side of the panel base 11 relative to the ceiling heater main body, and forming a receiving space on one side relative to the panel body 12 for receiving link mechanisms such as the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 when the panel body 12 is in the first position. At this time, the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 are folded and received in the receiving space formed by the swing arm bracket 134 to reduce the overall thickness of the ceiling heater. When the drive motor 131 works, the drive link mechanism is released from the receiving space, driving the panel base 11.

[0078] Based on the above structure, the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 can rotate around the axis of rotation of the swing arm bracket 134, and the rotation process forms the movement trajectory of the first panel 12A or the second panel 12B. This movement trajectory takes the axis of rotation of the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 as the origin and is an arc path based on the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133. When the control panel body 12 moves from the first position to the second position, the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 rotate in a position away from the air outlet E, move vertically away from the panel base 11, and move horizontally in a direction away from the air outlet E until reaching the second position; conversely, the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 rotate in the reverse direction and return to the first position.

[0079] In another embodiment, the positions of the drive motors 131 of the drive mechanism 13 of this application can be arranged in a staggered manner, such as Figure 2As shown, the first panel 12A is provided with a driving mechanism 13 composed of an upper active swing arm 132 and a driven swing arm 133, and the second panel 12B is provided with a Figure 2 Another driving mechanism 13 is composed of an active swing arm 132 and a driven swing arm 133 in the middle and lower part. The two sets of driving mechanisms 13 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the air outlet E. The driving motors are set on opposite sides to adjust the movement stability and torque distribution of the swinging process.

[0080] Further reference Figure 7 As shown, the first end of the active swing arm 132 and / or the driven swing arm 133 is connected to the drive motor 131 through a gear set, and the gear set includes: a driving gear 135 and at least one driven gear 136, the driving gear 135 is connected to the drive motor 131; at least one driven gear 136 is meshed and connected to the active gear 135, the rotating shaft of the active swing arm 132 is fixedly connected to the axis of the driven gear 136, the number of teeth of the driven gear 136 is greater than the number of teeth of the active gear 135, when the drive motor 131 drives the active gear 135 to rotate at a high speed, the teeth between the active gear 135 and the driven gear 136 are meshed with each other to transmit power, because the driven gear 136 has a large number of teeth, its rotation speed will be reduced accordingly, and the torque will be increased, so as to ensure that the drive motor 131 can drive a larger load under the premise of a certain driving torque.

[0081] Since the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 are both fixed on the swing arm bracket 134, the active swing arm 132 will correspondingly drive the driven swing arm 133 when it moves. However, in order to drive the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 to move at the same time, the present application can also provide a connecting rod to connect the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133 of the same connecting rod mechanism, thereby improving the initiative of the driven swing arm 133.

[0082] In another embodiment, the two driven gears 136 can also be set to be connected to each other in transmission; or a chain transmission mechanism or a spherical transmission mechanism can be set between the drive motor 131 and the active swing arm 132 and the driven swing arm 133, which also has a large transmission ratio and transmission torque and high transmission efficiency.

[0083] In some of these embodiments, the driving gear 135 and the driven gear 136 are fixedly arranged on one side of the swing arm bracket 134. By mounting the driving gear 135 and the driven gear 136 on the same bracket, the assembly tolerance of the gears is reduced, the gear meshing accuracy is improved, and the reliability of the entire transmission mechanism is ensured. At the same time, the radial force of gear meshing is directly transmitted to the swing arm bracket 134 through the driving gear 135 and the driven gear 136, reducing the impact on the driving motor 131 during movement, which can greatly improve the service life of the driving motor 131 and the driving mechanism 13. At the same time, the movement stability is improved. Compared with the transmission method of mounting the driving gear 135 on the motor shaft and then fixing the driving motor 131 on the swing arm bracket 134, directly mounting the driving gear 135 and the driven gear 136 on the swing arm bracket 134 omits the assembly tolerance of the driving motor 131, reduces the wear of the gear parts, reduces the transmission noise, and at the same time reduces the influence of the radial force on the service life of the driving motor 131. The swing arm bracket 134 is made of a rigid metal part, providing a stable and reliable assembly reference for the driving mechanism 13.

[0084] In the above embodiments, the light source assembly 121 can provide different lighting modes according to the different positions of the panel. By way of example but not limitation, when the first panel 12A and the second panel 12B are in the first position, the light source assembly provides white light for basic lighting. When the first panel 12A or the second panel 12B is in a non-first position, the light source assembly provides colored light for ambient lighting.

[0086] Based on the above structure, the panel assembly of the present utility model realizes the vertical and horizontal displacements of the first panel 12A or the second panel 12B relative to the opposite panel base through the driving mechanism, so that the panel assembly can be partially or completely embedded in the ceiling, without occupying additional bathroom space, reducing or omitting the thickness of the exposed part of the panel assembly, presenting a thin and beautiful visual effect, and also improving the overall aesthetics; by specifically setting the driving mechanism, the stable movement of the panel body is improved, and rich working modes are also supported, improving the user experience.

[0087] Embodiment 2:

[0088] Based on the above-mentioned panel component 1, the present utility model further provides a bathroom heater. Refer to Figures 8 - 9 As shown, the bathroom heater includes a detachable bathroom heater main unit 2 and the panel component 1. The same parts as those in the above embodiment will not be described herein again.

[0089] In some embodiments, the panel component 1 and the bathroom heater main unit 2 are positioned through a positioning structure, and the two are connected by a buckle and / or a hook to be suitable for the installation environment of an integrated ceiling;

[0090] At least four fixing rib positions 15 are arranged around the panel component 1 for inserting into the fixing grooves of the keels of the integrated ceiling. Among them, the aforementioned positioning structure can be a limiting hole position adapted to the fixing rib positions 15.

[0091] In some embodiments, it is installed on the target hole position through a conversion frame. The panel component 1 is fixedly installed in the conversion frame. The bathroom heater main unit 2 is erected on the conversion frame. At least two wooden strips are erected on the target hole position. The conversion frame is fixedly connected to the two wooden strips, and the bathroom heater main unit 2 is fixedly arranged on the wooden strips to achieve erection, so as to be suitable for the installation environment of a non-integrated ceiling.

[0092] In some embodiments, white light lamp beads and color light lamp beads are alternately distributed on the lamp board of the light source component 121. The controller is configured with different lighting modes corresponding to the working modes of the bathroom heater. The lighting modes include a basic lighting mode, a night light mode, and an atmosphere lighting mode. The atmosphere lighting mode is configured to provide colored light, and the colored light is emitted by the color light lamp beads or emitted after mixing of the white light lamp beads and the color light lamp beads. The night light mode is suitable for use at night. Considering that suddenly turning on strong light will stimulate the eyes, the night light mode is used to provide soft lighting.

[0093] Therefore, the night light mode is configured to provide low-brightness white light illumination or warm light emitted by mixing of the white light lamp beads and the color light lamp beads, and the color temperature of the warm light can be between 2700K and 3700K.

[0094] Based on the above configuration, different white light illuminations, colored light illuminations, or fade-in and fade-out switching methods are provided with the turning on or off of the bathroom heater and the change of the working mode in the on state, and different working states or working modes are indicated through different color modes.

[0095] Embodiment 3:

[0096] This embodiment provides another bathroom heater. The bathroom heater includes a bathroom heater main unit and a panel body arranged below the bathroom heater main unit. The differences between the bathroom heater in this embodiment and the above embodiment are as follows:

[0097] The panel base and the main body of the bathroom heater are of an integrated structure. The first panel 12A and the second panel 12B are detachably connected to the main body of the bathroom heater through a driving structure. The driving mechanism is fixed to the main body of the bathroom heater through a swing arm bracket. The panel body reciprocates relative to the main body of the bathroom heater under the action of the driving mechanism. The panel body obtains electric energy and control signals from the main body of the bathroom heater through a connector.

[0098] In this embodiment, the independent bathroom heater base is omitted, which can further reduce the overall thickness of the bathroom heater. At the same time, the ventilation holes and exhaust vents on the independent bathroom heater base are omitted, so that the air inlet of the main body of the bathroom heater and the indoor exhaust vent can be directly communicated with the indoor air. However, the versatility is slightly worse than that of the previous embodiment. In the previous embodiment, a variety of main bodies of bathroom heaters can be adapted through an independent bathroom heater base, achieving the technical effects of reducing the product development cycle and development cost.

[0099] The other positive technical effects of the panel assembly 1 in the above various embodiments are equally applicable to the bathroom heater and will not be elaborated here.

[0100] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts among the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0101] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: still modifications can be made to the specific implementation manners of the present invention or equivalent replacements can be made to some technical features; without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of the present invention, they should all be covered by the scope of the technical solutions claimed by the present invention.
