[0056] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of this embodiment more clear, the technical solution of this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this embodiment. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of this embodiment, not all of it. Based on the embodiments in this embodiment, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a particular order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like generally distinguish objects of a class and do not limit the number of objects. For example, the first object may be one or more.

[0058] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

[0059] Since the air inlet is exposed to the air for a long time, it is easy for water vapor and dust to enter the air inlet, causing the mechanical structure and / or electronic components inside the bathroom heater to be affected, resulting in faults such as electrical short circuits, motor damage, and reduced air volume. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a bathroom heater that controls the lifting of a lighting module through a drive component, so that the lighting module can switch between an open position that exposes the bathroom heater air inlet and a blocked position that shields the bathroom heater air inlet, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the bathroom heater air inlet and improving the appearance of the bathroom heater.

[0060] The following describes in detail the bathroom heater provided in the embodiment of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0061] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the length direction of the panel 1 can refer to Figure 1 The direction of the second motion track S2 of the middle sliding cover assembly 3. The thickness direction of the panel 1 can refer to Figure 1 The width direction of the panel 1 may refer to a direction substantially perpendicular to a plane formed by the first motion track S1 and the second motion track S2.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present application discloses a bathroom heater, which may include a panel 1, a lighting assembly 2, a sliding cover assembly 3, a driving assembly 4 and an air outlet assembly 5.

[0063] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 3 , the panel 1 has a front and a back facing each other along its thickness direction. The back of the panel 1 can be connected to the device box (not shown in the figure). The device box is further connected and fixed to the installation base. The front of the panel 1 can be used to install the lighting assembly 2 and the sliding assembly 3. The sliding assembly 3 is arranged adjacent to the lighting assembly 2 on at least one side thereof. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, at least two sliding assemblies 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lighting assembly 2 along the length direction of the panel 1. In particular, if Figure 1 As shown, when the bathroom heater is in a non-working state, the bottom surface of the sliding cover assembly 3 and the bottom surface of the lighting assembly 2 are basically kept flush in the same plane or are within the allowable height difference range.

[0064] According to a preferred embodiment, see Figure 6 The panel 1 is constructed with an air inlet area 11 roughly located in the middle area thereof and an air outlet area 12 arranged on at least one side (such as two sides symmetrical to each other) of the air inlet area 11. Specifically, the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1 is constructed with one or more first frame structures. The channel inside the one or more first hollow frame structures is designed as the air inlet 100 of the bathroom heater, and the air inlet 100 allows indoor air to enter the interior of the bathroom heater for air circulation. It can be understood that one or more air inlets 100 can be provided, and any one or more of the air inlets 100 can be designed to be other shapes than those shown in the drawings. This application does not limit the number and / or shape of the air inlets 100.

[0065] According to a preferred embodiment, the air outlet area 12 of the panel 1 is constructed with one or more second frame structures, which are the same as or similar to the air inlet area 11. The one or more second hollow frame structures have a long strip outlet extending roughly along the thickness direction of the panel 1, which is designed as the air outlet 101 of the bathroom heater. The air outlet 101 allows the air inside the bathroom heater to be discharged into the room. Thus, the indoor air enters the bathroom heater from the air inlet 100 of the panel 1 and is discharged from the bathroom heater from the air outlet 101 to complete the indoor air circulation. It can be understood that one or more air outlets 101 can be provided, and any one or more air outlets 101 can be designed to be other shapes than those shown in the accompanying drawings. This application does not limit the number and / or shape of the air outlets 101.

[0066] According to a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1 is constructed as a structure that is recessed from the front side of the panel 1 to the back side thereof, and the recessed structure forms a mounting groove for connecting and mounting the lighting assembly 2. The mounting groove allows the lighting assembly 2 to be movably mounted to the panel 1. For example, the lighting assembly 2 is connected to the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1 in a manner that allows it to move relative to the panel 1 along its thickness direction. When the bathroom heater is in a non-working state, the lighting assembly 2 is mounted to the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1 (such as being embedded in the air inlet area 11 designed as a recessed structure), and is basically flush with the bottom of the air inlet area 11 and the sliding cover assemblies 3 arranged on both sides of the air inlet area 11, so as to shield the air inlet 100 of the bathroom heater.

[0067] According to a preferred embodiment, see Figure 5The lighting assembly 2 may include a lighting assembly housing 20. The lighting assembly housing 20 includes a top plate 201 that fits over the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1, a diffuser plate 202 that is spaced from the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1 and is substantially parallel to the top plate 201, and one or more side plates 203 connected between the top plate 201 and the diffuser plate 202. The top plate 201, the diffuser plate 202, and the side plates 203 are connected to each other to enclose an optical cavity 200 for accommodating optical devices (such as LED lamp beads).

[0068] According to a preferred embodiment, the drive assembly 4 is mounted on the back of the panel 1 and is partially mechanically coupled to the lighting assembly 2, such as connected to the top plate 201 of the lighting assembly housing 20. Specifically, the drive assembly 4 is mounted on the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 6 The panel 1 is constructed with a panel base 10 located in the air inlet area 11. The panel base 10 can be integrally formed with the panel 1 and formed between the two air inlets 100. At least a portion of the drive assembly 4 is mounted to the back of the panel 1 through the panel base 11. At least another portion of the drive assembly 4 is mechanically connected to the back of the lighting assembly 2. For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 A plurality of first fixing pins may be provided on the back of the panel base 11, and the driving assembly 4 may be fixed to the back of the panel 1 by using the first fixing pins. On the other hand, a plurality of second fixing pins may be provided on the back of the lighting assembly 2, and the driving assembly 4 may be connected to the lighting assembly 2 in a transmission manner by using the second fixing pins.

[0069] According to a preferred embodiment, the driving assembly 4 provided in the present application is configured to transmit force / torque to the lighting assembly 2 to drive the lighting assembly 2 to perform a lifting motion relative to the panel 1 in the thickness direction of the panel 1, so that the lighting assembly 2 can switch between an open position exposing the air inlet 100 and a blocked position shielding the air inlet 100. In particular, if Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the movement of the lighting assembly 2 along the thickness direction of the panel 1 can be defined as a first movement trajectory S1.

[0070] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5, the driving assembly 4 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a fixed frame 41, a sliding bracket 42, a first driving motor 43, a lead screw 44, a wire wheel 45 and a fixed plate 46. Specifically, the fixed frame 41 has an installation space inside, and the installation space is used to accommodate and fix the first driving motor 43. The fixed frame 41 accommodating the first driving motor 43 can be fixed to the back of the panel 1 by a first fixing pin. Furthermore, a connecting hole 410 is provided on the top surface of the fixed frame 41. The motor output shaft of the first driving motor 43 passes through the connecting hole 410 and is connected to the lead screw 44, which can be driven to rotate by the first driving motor 43. Optionally, the lead screw 44 and the motor output shaft of the first driving motor 43 can be integrated into one, or can be independent of each other, and this application does not limit this.

[0071] According to a preferred embodiment, a sliding bracket 42 is slidably sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixing frame 41. The support base of the sliding bracket 42 is connected to the second fixing pin provided on the back of the lighting assembly 2, so that the sliding bracket 42 can be connected and fixed to the lighting assembly 2. Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The circumferential sidewalls of the fixed frame 41 are provided with one or more outwardly projecting protrusions; while the circumferential sidewalls of the sliding bracket 42 are provided with guide grooves adapted to the protrusions of the fixed frame 41. Through the mutually adapted protrusions and guide grooves, the sliding bracket 42 is slidably sleeved on the outer circumference of the fixed frame 41, allowing the fixed frame 41 and the sliding bracket 42 to generate relative movement in the thickness direction of the panel 1. For example, the sliding bracket 42 moves relative to the fixed frame 41.

[0072] According to a preferred embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The top surface of the sliding bracket 42 is provided with a mounting hole 420. The mounting hole 420 is used to mount and fix the wire wheel 45 that engages with the lead screw 44. Specifically, the motor output shaft of the first drive motor 43 passes through the connecting hole 410 and is connected to the lead screw 44. The other end of the lead screw 44 is sleeved with the wire wheel 45, so that the rotation of the lead screw 44 can be converted into linear motion of the wire wheel 45 along the axial direction of the lead screw 44. Furthermore, the wire wheel 45 is mounted to the mounting hole 420 on the top surface of the sliding bracket 42 and is pressed and fixed in the mounting hole 420 by a fixing plate 46.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, when the lighting assembly 2 is driven by the drive assembly 4 to move relative to the panel 1 along the thickness direction of the panel 1, the first drive motor 43 is started, causing the screw 44 at the output end of the first drive motor 43 to rotate. Based on the principle of roller screw transmission, the rotation of the screw 44 can be converted into the axial movement of the wire wheel 45 sleeved on the screw 44 along the screw 44. Since the fixed frame 41 on which the first drive motor 43 is mounted is fixed to the panel 1, and the wire wheel 45 connected to the first drive motor 43 is fixed to the sliding bracket 42, and the fixed frame 41 and the sliding bracket 42 are configured to slide relative to each other, based on this. Based on this, under the drive of the first drive motor 43, the wire wheel 45 reciprocates along the axial direction of the screw 44, while driving the sliding bracket 42 connected to the wire wheel 45 to move up and down relative to the fixed frame 41, thereby driving the lighting assembly 2 connected to the sliding bracket 42 to move up and down relative to the panel 1 connected to the fixed frame 41, thereby achieving the opening or blocking of the air inlet 100.

[0074] In other embodiments of the present application, the number of drive assemblies 4 may be two or more. Taking the arrangement of two drive assemblies 4 as an example, the two drive assemblies 4 may be arranged at both ends of the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1 respectively. The fixed frame 41 in each drive assembly 4 is fixed to the panel 1, wherein a first drive motor 43 is installed in the fixed frame 41. The sliding bracket 42 slidably connected to the fixed frame 41 is connected to the lighting assembly 2, wherein a wire wheel 45 is installed in the sliding bracket 42. The fixed frame 41 accommodating the first drive motor 43 is drivably coupled to the sliding bracket 42 through a screw rod 44 and a wire wheel 45 that are engaged with each other. Thus, the lighting assembly 2 can be controlled to rise and fall relative to the panel 1 by two symmetrically distributed drive assemblies 4, thereby exposing or shielding the air inlet 100. The present application does not limit the number of drive assemblies 4.

[0075] It is understood that in addition to the transmission structure of the screw 44 and the wire wheel 45 described in the embodiment of the present application, other types of screw transmission structures can also be used. Therefore, it is understood that the embodiment of the present application and its drawings only describe a preferred example and should not be regarded as a specific limitation of the present application.

[0076] According to a preferred embodiment, a sliding cover assembly 3 is provided at at least one end along the length direction of the panel 1 and is designed to be adjacent to the lighting assembly 2. At least one sliding cover assembly 3 is slidably attached to the air outlet area 12 of the panel 1. Figure 1 、 Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the two sliding cover assemblies 3 are mirror-symmetrically mounted to the air outlet areas 12 at both ends of the panel 1. In the embodiment of the present application, when the bathroom heater is not in operation, the projection of the sliding cover assembly 3 along the thickness direction of the panel 1 partially or completely covers the air outlet area 12, so that the air outlet 101 constructed in the air outlet area 12 is at least partially shielded by the sliding cover assembly 3.

[0077] According to a preferred embodiment, the sliding cover assembly 3 may include a sliding cover body and a sliding cover drive assembly. The sliding cover drive assembly is mechanically coupled to the sliding cover body in a transmission manner. The sliding cover drive assembly is configured to transmit force / torque to the sliding cover body to drive the sliding cover body to slide / translate relative to the panel 1 in the length direction of the panel 1, so that the sliding cover body can switch between an open position exposing the air outlet 101 and a blocked position shielding the air outlet 101. In other embodiments of the present application, the sliding cover body can also be driven by the sliding cover drive assembly to slide / translate relative to the panel 1 in the width direction of the panel 1. Those skilled in the art can make adaptive changes based on the disclosure of the present application, so they will not be described in detail. It will be understood that the drawings shown in the present application are only disclosed for the purpose of convenience of explanation and should not be regarded as specific limitations on the structure of the present application. In particular, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the movement of the sliding cover body along the length / width direction of the panel 1 can be defined as a second movement trajectory S2.

[0078] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, under the drive of the drive assembly 4, the lighting assembly 2 generates a first motion relative to the panel 1 along its thickness direction, forming a first motion trajectory S1. Under the drive of the sliding cover drive assembly, the sliding cover body generates a second motion relative to the panel 1 along its length or width direction, forming a second motion trajectory S2. It can be understood that the first motion trajectory S1 of the lighting assembly 2 and the second motion trajectory S2 of the sliding cover body are respectively located in the vertical plane and the horizontal plane. In view of this, in the embodiment of the present application, the first motion trajectory S1 and the second motion trajectory S2 intersect with each other, and are preferably orthogonal.

[0079] According to a preferred embodiment, the sliding cover driving assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a rack 30, a guide member 31, a second driving motor 32 and a gear 33. Specifically, see Figures 6 to 9 A rack 30 is provided on the back of the sliding cover body, that is, on the side facing the panel 1. Further, one or a pair of guide members 31 are provided on the back of the sliding cover body. The one or a pair of guide members 31 are provided at at least one end of the sliding cover body along the width direction of the panel 1. Figure 7 As shown, a rack 30 is provided on the back of each sliding cover body, and a pair of guide members 31 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the rack 30 along the width direction of the panel 1 in a mirror-image manner.

[0080] According to a preferred embodiment, see Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9The air outlet areas 12 at each end of the panel 1 each have a through-hole 102. A second drive motor 32 is mounted in the air outlet area 12, aligned with the through-hole 102. The motor output shaft of the second drive motor 32 passes through the through-hole 102 and points toward the sliding cover body. A gear 33 is sleeved onto the motor output shaft of the second drive motor 32. This gear 33 meshes with the rack 30 on the back of the sliding cover body. Driven by the second drive motor 32, force / torque is transmitted from the gear 33 to the rack 30.

[0081] It is understood that in addition to the transmission structure of the gear 33 and the rack 30 described in the embodiment of the present application, other types of gear transmission structures may also be used. Therefore, it is understood that the embodiment of the present application and its accompanying drawings only describe a preferred example and should not be considered as a specific limitation of the present application.

[0082] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, guide rails 103 corresponding to the guide members 31 on the back of the sliding cover body are also configured on the air outlet areas 12 at both ends of the panel 1. Specifically, when the sliding cover body is moved from the front of the panel 1 to cover the air outlet areas 12, the guide members 31 on the back of the sliding cover body engage with the guide rails 103 at both ends of the panel 1. Therefore, when the sliding cover body is driven to slide / translate relative to the panel 1 or the air outlet areas 12 of the panel 1, the guide rails 103 define the movement direction of the sliding cover body, allowing the sliding cover body to move relative to the panel 1 and / or the lighting assembly 2 along a predetermined or desired trajectory.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, when the sliding cover drive assembly drives the sliding cover body to move relative to the panel 1 along the length / width direction of the panel 1, the second drive motor 32 is activated, causing the gear 33 at the output end of the second drive motor 33 to rotate. Based on the principle of gear and rack transmission, the rotation of the gear 33 can drive the rack 30 meshing therewith to move. Because the rack 30 is connected and fixed to the sliding cover body, the rotation of the gear 33 synchronously drives the sliding cover body to slide / translate along the surface of the panel 1, thereby opening or covering the air outlet 101. During the sliding / translation process of the sliding cover body along the surface of the panel 1, the guide member 31 on the back of the sliding cover body is confined within the guide rail 103 of the panel 1, allowing the sliding cover body to slide smoothly along a straight line.

[0084] According to a preferred embodiment, an air outlet assembly 5 is also installed on the air outlet area 12 of the panel 1. Figure 4 and Figure 5, the air outlet assembly 5 may include an air guide groove 51 and an air guide grille 52. The air guide groove 51 is correspondingly installed to the air outlet area 12 at both ends of the panel 1. For example, the air guide groove 51 is detachably installed to the air outlet 101. The air guide grille 52 is arranged at the bottom of the air guide groove 51. The air guide grille 52 is placed above the air outlet 101 in a manner of mutual alignment with the air outlet 101, or partially extends into the air outlet 101 along the thickness direction of the panel 1. Optionally, the air outlet assembly 5 may also include a fan (not shown in the figure), which can be used to return the circulated and heated air back to the room through the air outlet 101.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the lighting assembly 2 and the sliding cover assembly 3 (specifically, the sliding cover body) are co-located on the front surface of the panel 1. The lighting assembly 2 is configured to move relative to the panel 1 to switch between an open position exposing the air inlet 100 and a blocked position shielding the air inlet 100. The sliding cover assembly 3 is configured to move relative to the panel 1 to switch between an open position exposing the air outlet 101 and a blocked position shielding the air outlet 101. A first motion trajectory S1 generated by the lighting assembly 2 relative to the panel 1 and a second motion trajectory S2 generated by the sliding cover assembly 3 relative to the panel 1 intersect with each other.

[0086] According to a preferred embodiment, when the bathroom heater provided in the present application is in a non-operating state, the lighting assembly 2 covers the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1 to substantially completely shield the air inlet 100, while the sliding cover assembly 3 covers the air outlet area 12 of the panel 1 to substantially completely shield the air outlet 101. At this time, the surface of the lighting assembly 2 and the surface of the sliding cover assembly 3 are substantially flush. When the bathroom heater provided in the present application is in an operating state, the lighting assembly 2 moves in a direction away from the panel 1 to at least partially expose the air inlet 100, while the sliding cover assembly 3 moves in a direction away from the panel 1 to at least partially expose the air outlet 101. At this time, the movement direction of the lighting assembly 2 and the movement direction of the sliding cover assembly 3 intersect with each other.
