[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bathroom appliances, in particular to an integrated shell structure of a ceiling heater. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, with the continuous improvement of living conditions and the continuous improvement of living standards, modern families have higher requirements for the comfort of the indoor environment. As a special functional area in the family, the comfort of the bathroom environment is particularly concerned. In the bathroom, due to daily activities such as showering and bathing, a large amount of water vapor is frequently generated, resulting in a sharp rise in indoor humidity. This increase in humidity not only reduces the user's comfort experience but also may cause a series of problems, such as the growth of mold and the dampness of items.

[0003] To improve the humid environment in the bathroom, a household appliance product called a ceiling heater has emerged on the market. The ceiling heater usually integrates functions such as lighting, heating, and ventilation, and is used to increase the bathroom temperature, disperse the fog, and improve air circulation. However, the existing ceiling heater products have limited dehumidification ability. When facing a high-humidity environment, it is often difficult to quickly and effectively remove moisture, and cannot meet the user's demand for a dry and comfortable environment. Therefore, some users choose to install an independent dehumidifier in the bathroom to solve the damp problem. However, the independent dehumidifier is usually large in size and occupies valuable bathroom space. Especially for a small bathroom, it will appear more crowded and inconvenient. Moreover, the cooperation degree between the independently installed dehumidifier and the ceiling heater is not high, which is likely to cause functional redundancy and operational inconvenience.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a household appliance product that can effectively solve the damp problem in the bathroom, while taking into account small size, function integration, and convenient use, that is, integrating functional modules such as dehumidification, heating, a fan, and water treatment in a compact box body, carrying out a reasonable layout design, minimizing space occupation as much as possible, and developing an innovative product that integrates the functions of a ceiling heater and a dehumidifier has become a technical problem to be solved urgently.

Detailed Embodiments

[0030] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustrating and explaining the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0031] Embodiment 1.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, the integrated ceiling fan heater housing structure described in this embodiment includes a housing 10, an air inlet 30, a first air outlet 40, a second air outlet 50, and a blower housing 70. Among them, a first partition 20 is provided inside the housing 10, and the first partition 20 divides the internal space of the housing 10 into a first working area 11 and a second working area 12;

[0033] The air inlet 30 is provided on the side wall of the housing 10 corresponding to the first working area 11; while the first air outlet 40 and the second air outlet 50 are both provided on the side wall of the housing 10 corresponding to the second working area 12, and air valves 60 for controlling the air flow are respectively provided in the first air outlet 40 and the second air outlet 50; the blower housing 70 is located in the first working area 11 and is fixedly installed on the first partition 20; an air vent 21 is provided on the first partition 20 and is adapted to be connected to the air outlet of the blower housing 70; the air inlet 30, the air inlet 30 of the blower housing 70, the air vent 21, and the first air outlet 40 form an air treatment channel 100; the air inlet 30, the air inlet 30 of the blower housing 70, the air vent 21, and the second air outlet 50 form an exhaust channel 200.

[0034] During specific implementation, as Figure 1 shown, the housing 10 is made of materials such as ABS engineering plastics or aluminum alloy, and its shape can be a cuboid or other shapes suitable for installation on the bathroom ceiling 400. The internal space of the housing 10 is divided into two functional areas by the first partition 20: the first working area 11 and the second working area 12.

[0035] Among them, as Figure 2 shown, the first working area 11 is mainly used to accommodate the blower housing 70 and the dehumidification module. The air inlet 30 is provided on the side wall of the housing 10 corresponding to the first working area 11, for example, it can be provided at the bottom or side of the housing 10 to suck the humid air in the bathroom, and the blower housing 70 is fixedly installed on the first partition 20, and a blower is installed therein to drive the air flow, and the air inlet of the blower housing 70 faces the first working area 11 to send the sucked air to the dehumidification module or directly to the second working area 12.

[0036] The second working area 12 is mainly used to accommodate other functional modules such as the heating module. The first air outlet 40 and the second air outlet 50 are both arranged on the side wall of the shell 10 corresponding to the second working area 12. For example, they can be arranged on the top or side of the shell 10 to discharge the processed air, and each air outlet is equipped with an air valve 60, for example, a louver-type air valve or a rotary air valve can be used to control the flow direction and flow rate of the airflow.

[0037] Using this structure, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when exhaust ventilation is required, the air valve 60 corresponding to the second air outlet 50 can be opened. At this time, the exhaust channel 200 is connected, and the air treatment channel 100 is cut off. The fan installed in the fan volute 70 draws the air in the bathroom through the air inlet 30, and discharges the air directly to the outside through the second air outlet 50, thereby realizing rapid exhaust ventilation and removing odor and moisture in the bathroom; when air dehumidification or heating is required, the air valve 60 corresponding to the first air outlet 40 can be opened. At this time, the air treatment channel 100 is connected, and the exhaust channel 200 is cut off. The fan installed in the fan volute 70 draws the air in the bathroom through the air inlet 30, and sends the air to the dehumidification module for dehumidification treatment, or sends it to the heating module for heating treatment, and finally discharges the treated air into the bathroom through the first air outlet 40, thereby realizing dehumidification or heating function and improving the comfort of the bathroom.

[0038] In this way, utilizing the above-described housing structure design, functional modules such as dehumidification, heating, and ventilation can be integrated into a single housing, reducing the number of discrete components and the complexity of connecting wiring, achieving a compact structural design. While accommodating more functional modules, the overall volume is minimized, making it more suitable for installation in small spaces such as bathrooms. Furthermore, by switching the two air valves 60 on and off, the air inlets for different air treatment functions can be shared, thereby reducing the number of air inlets and the length of the air duct, further simplifying the overall structure of the device and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first partition 20 is arranged parallel to the short side wall of the shell 10, and the first partition 20 is bent to form a second partition 22; the second partition 22 is arranged parallel to the long side wall of the shell 10, and the second partition 22 is spaced from the long side wall of the shell 10 to form an avoidance space 300 connected to the second working area 12; an electrical box 23 is arranged in the avoidance space.

[0040] With this structural design, since the blower housing 70 in the first working area 11 will suck in the humid air in the bathroom, in order to prevent the electrical box 23 from being in this humid air for a long time, the second partition 22 is used to effectively isolate the avoidance space 300 from the first working area 11. In this way, even if the first working area 11 is filled with humid air, it can effectively prevent it from directly entering the avoidance space 300, reducing the adverse effects that moisture may bring to the electrical box 23. In addition, during actual application, the electrical components in the electrical box 23 will generate a certain amount of heat when working. Due to the separation of the second partition 22 and the humid air flow in the first working area 11, that is, when the humid air flows through the second partition 22, because the specific heat capacity of water is relatively large, it will absorb a part of the heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the second partition 22. Since the second partition 22 is adjacent to the electrical box 23 in the avoidance space 300, reducing the temperature of the second partition 22 can indirectly assist the electrical components in the electrical box 23 to dissipate heat, improve its heat dissipation efficiency, and further ensure its stable operation.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the first air outlet 40 is arranged at a position on the housing 10 opposite to the ventilation hole 21, and both the first air outlet 40 and the second air outlet 50 are connected with a duct joint 61. Specifically, the first air outlet 40 is usually connected to function modules with a relatively high usage frequency, such as heating, dehumidification, etc. Arranging the first air outlet 40 at a position opposite to the ventilation hole 21 can make the air blown out by the blower housing 70 flow more smoothly to the first air outlet 40, avoiding the detour and blockage of the air, thereby improving the air flow efficiency. At the same time, connecting the duct joint 61 to the first air outlet 40 and the second air outlet 50 can facilitate the connection of various external pipes. For example, the renovated bathroom usually reserves an exhaust pipe interface, but the positions and sizes may vary. By connecting the duct joint 61 and the corresponding pipes, the air outlet of the ceiling lamp can be conveniently connected to the reserved exhaust pipe interface without additional renovation of the bathroom, greatly improving the adaptability of the product and facilitating the installation and use of the user.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, in order to provide a flexible heating function, it further includes a heating box 80 and a connecting pipe 81. The heating box 80 includes an air outlet grille 82 and an electric heater arranged inside the heating box 80; one end of the connecting pipe 81 is connected to the duct joint 61 corresponding to the first air outlet 40, and the other end is connected to the heating box 80.

[0043] During specific implementation, as Figure 4As shown, the heating box 80 is installed on the bathroom ceiling 400 and is connected to the duct joint 61 corresponding to the first air outlet 40 through the connecting pipe 81. This enables the air discharged from the first air outlet 40 to be discharged from the air outlet grille 82 according to the different installation positions of the heating box 80. For example, by setting the heating box 80 at the center of the bathroom, the dehumidified and dried air can be more easily and evenly distributed throughout the bathroom, providing a better user experience. At the same time, the electric heater (heating module) is arranged inside the heating box 80, and the heating function can be selectively turned on according to needs. Moreover, this structural design shortens the path of the hot air entering the bathroom and reduces heat loss.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the air inlet 30 is arranged on the bottom plate of the housing 10. The air inlet 30 is of a grid structure, and an installation seat 31 for installing the compressor is provided at the position of the bottom plate corresponding to the air inlet 30. The installation seat 31 (such as a hoop) facilitates the integral installation of the compressor, making the structure more compact. The air inlet 30 adopts a grid structure, which can effectively block larger impurities in the air while not affecting air intake, preventing these impurities from entering the interior of the ceiling lamp and affecting its performance, and extending the service life of the ceiling lamp.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, a water receiving tray 90 is provided between the air inlet 30 and the blower housing 70, and two-device mounting seats 91 are arranged inside the water receiving tray 90. The two-device mounting seats 91 can firmly fix the evaporator and the condenser on the water receiving tray 90, making them form a compact whole, and also facilitating the layout of other functional modules. At the same time, during the dehumidification process, the evaporator and the condenser will generate condensate. By fixing them on the water receiving tray 90, the condensate can directly drip into the water receiving tray 90, preventing the condensate from splashing around or dripping onto other components, and facilitating the collection and unified treatment of the condensate.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, a wind guiding plate 92 is arranged on the water receiving tray 90. The wind guiding plate 92 is located on the side of the water receiving tray 90 facing the air inlet 30, and a window 93 is provided on the wind guiding plate 92. The window 93 is used to guide the air to flow above the water receiving tray 90. With this structural design, the wind guiding plate 92 and the window 93 can guide the air to flow forcibly above the water receiving tray 90, that is, through the area where the evaporator / condenser is located. This can enable the air to come into full contact with the surface of the evaporator / condenser, improving the heat exchange efficiency and thus enhancing the dehumidification efficiency.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, in order to drain the condensed water, the water receiving tray 90 is provided with a drain pipe 94. The drain pipe 94 extends from the side wall of the water receiving tray 90 into the second working area 12. An atomizer mounting seat 13 is arranged in the second working area 12, and an exhaust pipe 14 extending to the second air outlet 50 is provided on the atomizer mounting seat 13. In specific implementation, an ultrasonic atomizer can be integrally installed on the atomizer mounting seat 13. The water inlet end of the ultrasonic atomizer is connected to the drain pipe 94, and the fog outlet end is connected to the exhaust pipe 14. When the condensed water collected by the water receiving tray 90 needs to be drained, the ultrasonic atomizer will atomize it into fine water mist and discharge these water mists together with the air discharged in the exhaust air passage 200 to the outside, without separately arranging a drain for the water receiving tray 90.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, it further includes a cross frame 15 for being fixed on the wall to provide a support point. A vertical frame 16 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the housing 10. The vertical frame 16 has a connection structure for engaging with the cross frame 15, and the housing 10 is buckled on the cross frame 15 through the connection structure on the vertical frame 16.

[0049] In specific implementation, in a newly renovated bathroom, the user can first embed the cross frame 15 in the bathroom ceiling 400, and then when installing the housing 10, only need to engage the vertical frame 16 on the housing 10 with the connection structure (such as a slot and buckle structure) on the cross frame 15 to complete the installation, which is very convenient and fast. In addition, after the ceiling heater housing 10 is installed, in order to further improve the aesthetic degree, a cover plate assembly 500 coordinated with the style of the bathroom ceiling 400 can also be assembled at the bottom of the housing 10. The cover plate assembly 500 can be made of materials such as aluminum alloy, PVC, acrylic, etc., and its color, pattern and texture can match the style of the bathroom ceiling 400, making the ceiling heater more coordinated and unified with the overall decoration style of the bathroom.

[0050] The integrated ceiling heater housing structure provided by this embodiment realizes the improvement of the internal space utilization rate of the housing and the effective isolation of the dehumidification area through reasonable internal space division and component layout optimization, thereby making the housing structure more compact, saving the occupied space, and effectively meeting the space requirements for multi-functional integration.
