[0053] 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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, which controls the lifting of the lighting module through a drive component, so that the lighting module can switch between a slide-out position that exposes the bathroom heater air inlet and a retracted 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] 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.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the 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 first driving assembly 4 and an air outlet assembly 5. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, panel 1 has a front and back facing each other along its thickness. The back of panel 1 can be connected to an equipment box (not shown). The equipment box is further connected and fixed to the mounting base. The front of panel 1 can be used to mount lighting assembly 2 and sliding cover assembly 3.

[0060] According to a preferred embodiment, the sliding cover 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 cover assemblies 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lighting assembly 2 along the length direction of the panel 1. In particular, 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.

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, 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 frame structures is designed as an 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.

[0062] The air outlet area 12 of the panel 1 is identical or similar to the air inlet area 11 and is constructed with one or more second frame structures. The one or more second 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 is understandable 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.

[0063] like 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.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the 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).

[0065] According to a preferred embodiment, the first drive assembly 4 is mounted on the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1, specifically on the back of the panel 1, and is partially mechanically coupled to the lighting assembly 2, such as being connected to the top plate 201 of the lighting assembly housing 20. The first drive 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 a slid-out position exposing the air inlet 100 and a retracted position shielding the air inlet 100. In particular, as 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.

[0066] According to a preferred embodiment, the first driving assembly 4 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a fixed base 41, a spiral turntable 42, a first rotating driving member 43, a transmission rod 44 and a sliding portion 45. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the panel 1 is constructed with a panel base 10 located in the air inlet area 11. The fixed base 41 is constructed on the back of the panel base 10. Alternatively, the fixed base 41 is arranged away from the front of the panel base 10 and / or the lighting assembly 2. As an example, the fixed base 41 can be integrally formed with the panel 1 (or the panel base 10) and formed between the two air inlets 100. For example, a portion of the panel base 10 protrudes from the front of the panel 1 to the back of the panel 1, thereby integrally forming a fixed base 41, and the fixed base 41 has a storage cavity 410 for accommodating a fixed drive mechanism. In other embodiments, the fixed base 41 and the panel base 10 can be independent of each other.

[0067] The spiral turntable 42 is fixedly arranged on the back of the lighting assembly 2. Figures 4 to 8 As shown, a plurality of fixing pins may be provided on the back of the lighting assembly 2, and a fixing portion 422 is provided on the spiral turntable 42 for use with the plurality of fixing pins. Based on the matching relationship between the fixing portion 422 and the fixing pins, the spiral turntable 42 is connected and fixed to the back of the lighting assembly 2. Further, see Figures 4 to 6 The spiral turntable 42 is constructed as a hollow cylindrical structure. When the lighting assembly 2 is attached to the front of the panel 1, the spiral turntable 42 can be correspondingly accommodated in the storage cavity 410 of the fixed base 41.

[0068] like Figures 4 to 8As shown, a rotating cavity 420 is constructed on the inner side of the spiral turntable 42, which is used to accommodate or surround the first rotating drive member 43 and provide a movable space so that the driving mechanism transmission-connected to the first rotating drive member 43 can transmit the force / torque generated in the movable space to the lighting assembly 2, thereby driving the lighting assembly 2 to switch between a sliding position exposing the air inlet 100 and a retracted position covering the air inlet 100.

[0069] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, a pair of spiral guide rails 421 are formed in the circumference of the rotating cavity 420, that is, on the circumferential side wall of the spiral turntable 42. Each spiral guide rail 421 spirally extends around the side wall of the spiral turntable 42 from the top end of the spiral turntable 42 (or the end away from the lighting component 2) to the bottom end (or the end facing the lighting component 2). Furthermore, the two spiral guide rails 421 are symmetrically distributed on the circumferential side wall of the spiral turntable 42 about the central axis of the spiral turntable 42. Specifically, the symmetrical distribution of the two spiral guide rails 421 about the central axis of the spiral turntable 42 can be understood as: taking the central axis of the spiral turntable 42 as a cross-section, the spiral turntable 42 is divided into a first side wall and a second side wall that are symmetrical to each other about the cross-section. The first side wall and the second side wall are roughly arched or semicircular cylinders. A first spiral guide rail is formed circumferentially around the first side wall. A second spiral guide rail is formed circumferentially around the second side wall. A first guide rail projection of the first spiral guide rail in the cross section and a second guide rail projection of the second spiral guide rail in the cross section intersect each other, and the intersection point substantially evenly divides each other into two halves.

[0070] like Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating cavity 420 within the spiral turntable 42 can be used to accommodate or surround the first rotating drive member 43. The spiral turntable 42, containing the first rotating drive member 43, is entirely enclosed in the receiving cavity 410 of the fixed base 41, and the first rotating drive member 43 is fixedly mounted to the fixed base 41. For example, a mounting lug structure can be provided on the top of the first rotating drive member 43, and fasteners can be passed through the mounting lug structure to securely connect the first rotating drive member 43 to the top wall of the fixed base 41. As an example, the first rotating drive member 43 described in this application can be a rotating motor.

[0071] like Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the first rotating drive member 43, that is, the output end of the rotating motor is detachably mounted with a transmission rod 44. In the embodiment of the present application, the extension direction (or axial direction) of the transmission rod 44 intersects with the output shaft of the rotating motor, preferably intersects perpendicularly. In other words, the output shaft of the rotating motor is substantially perpendicular to the panel 1, and the transmission rod 44 is substantially parallel to the panel 1. For example, a connecting hole is provided in the approximate center of the transmission rod 44, and the transmission rod 44 is fixed to the output shaft of the rotating motor through the connecting hole. Thus, when the output shaft of the rotating motor rotates, the transmission rod 44 can be synchronously driven to rotate around the output shaft.

[0072] Furthermore, the axial ends of the transmission rod 44 are movably inserted into the spiral guide rails 421 on the side walls of the spiral turntable 42. Figure 4 As shown, rotatable sliding portions 45 are provided at both axial ends of the transmission rod 44. The two sliding portions 45 are respectively mounted in a pair of symmetrical spiral guide rails 421, and each sliding portion 45 is configured to slide / roll along the extension direction of its corresponding spiral guide rail 421, so that the transmission rod 44 can be rotatably coupled to the spiral turntable 42 via the sliding portions 45 at its axial ends. In the embodiment of the present application, an example of the sliding portion 45 is a roller. In other embodiments, the sliding portion 45 can also be a ball bearing, which is not limited in this application.

[0073] According to a preferred embodiment, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, one or more outwardly protruding portions are provided on the circumferential sidewalls of the spiral turntable 42. Guide grooves adapted to the protruding portions of the spiral turntable 42 may be provided on the circumferential sidewalls of the fixed base 41. With the protruding portions and guide grooves adapted to each other in shape, the spiral turntable 42 can be movably received in the receiving cavity 410 of the fixed base 41, allowing the spiral turntable 42 and the fixed base 41 to generate relative movement in the thickness direction of the panel 1. For example, the spiral turntable 42 moves relative to the fixed base 41.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, when the lighting assembly 2 is driven by the first driving assembly 4 to move relative to the panel 1 in the thickness direction of the panel 1, the first rotating driving member 43 (i.e., a rotating motor) contained in the rotating cavity 420 of the spiral turntable 42 and connected to the fixed base 41 is started, so as to drive the transmission rod 44 arranged at its output end to rotate through the first rotating driving member 43; at the same time, the sliding parts 45 arranged at both axial ends of the transmission rod 44 can slide / slide along the spiral guide rails 421 on both sides of the spiral turntable 42 based on the rotation of the transmission rod 44, and rise or fall along the spiral guide rails 421, thereby driving the entire lighting assembly 2 to rise or fall, and then realizing the opening or covering of the air inlet 100.

[0075] In other embodiments of the present application, the number of first drive assemblies 4 can be two or more. Taking the arrangement of two first drive assemblies 4 as an example, the two first drive assemblies 4 can be respectively arranged at the two ends of the air inlet area 11 of the panel 1. The spiral turntable 42 in each first drive assembly 4 is fixed to the lighting assembly 2, and the fixed base 41 is fixed to the panel 1, wherein the first rotating drive member 43 is fixedly installed in the storage cavity 410 of the fixed base 41. A transmission rod 44 is provided at the output end of the first rotating drive member 43. The axial ends of the transmission rod 44 can be movably mounted in the spiral guide rail 421 of the spiral turntable 42. Thus, the lighting assembly 2 can be controlled to rise and fall relative to the panel 1 by two symmetrically distributed first drive assemblies 4, thereby realizing exposure or shielding of the air inlet 100. This application does not limit the number of first drive assemblies 4.

[0076] like Figure 1 、 Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a sliding cover assembly 3 designed adjacent to the lighting assembly 2 is provided at at least one end along the length direction of the panel 1. At least one sliding cover assembly 3 is slidably attached to the air outlet area 12 of the panel 1. Preferably, the two sliding cover assemblies 3 are mirror-symmetrical to each other and are respectively installed 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 in a non-working state, 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] The sliding cover assembly 3 may include a sliding cover body and a second drive assembly. The second drive assembly is mechanically coupled to the sliding cover body. The second 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 longitudinal direction of the panel 1, so that the sliding cover body can switch between a slid-out position that exposes the air outlet 101 and a retracted position that shields the air outlet 101.

[0078] In other embodiments of the present application, the second drive assembly can also be used to drive the sliding cover body 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 this application, so no further detailed description is given. It should be understood that the drawings shown in this application are only disclosed for the convenience of explanation and should not be regarded as specific limitations on the structure of this application. In particular, if 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.

[0079] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, under the drive of the first 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 second 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 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.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the second driving assembly may include a rack 30, a second rotating driving member 31 and a gear 32. Specifically, Figures 6 to 9 As shown in FIG, a rack 30 is provided on the back of the sliding cover body, that is, on the side facing the panel 1. Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, each of the air outlet areas 12 at both ends of the panel 1 is formed with a through-hole 102. A second rotary drive member 31 is mounted to the air outlet area 12 in alignment with the through-hole 102. Preferably, the second rotary drive member 31 may be a rotary motor. The output end of the second rotary drive member 31 extends through the through-hole 102 and points toward the sliding cover body. A gear 32 is mounted on the output shaft of the second rotary drive member 31, or the drive motor. This gear 32 meshes with a rack 30 on the back of the sliding cover body. Driven by the second rotary drive member 31, force / torque can be transferred from the gear 32 to the rack 30.

[0081] It is understood that in addition to the transmission structure of the gear 32 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 drawings only describe a preferred example and should not be considered as a specific limitation of the present application.

[0082] In other embodiments, one or a pair of guide members (not shown) may be provided on the back of the sliding cover body. The one or a pair of guide members are provided at at least one end of the sliding cover body along the width direction of the panel 1. As an example, a rack 30 is provided on the back of each sliding cover body, and a pair of guide members are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the rack 30 along the width direction of the panel 1 in a mirror-image manner. Accordingly, guide rails (not shown) corresponding to the guide members may also be constructed on the air outlet area 12 at both ends of the panel 1. Specifically, when the sliding cover body is closed from the front of the panel 1 to the air outlet area 12, the guide members on the back of the sliding cover body are engaged with the guide rails at both ends of the panel 1, so that when the sliding cover body is driven to slide / translate relative to the panel 1, the guide rails define the movement direction of the sliding cover body, so that the sliding cover body can move relative to the panel 1 and / or the lighting assembly 2 along the desired trajectory.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, when the sliding cover body is driven to move relative to the panel 1 along the length / width direction of the panel 1 by the second driving component, the second rotating driving member 31 is started, so that the gear 32 at the output end of the second rotating driving member 31 rotates. Based on the gear rack transmission principle, the rotation of the gear 32 can drive the rack 30 meshing with it to move. Since the rack 30 is connected and fixed to the sliding cover body, the rotation of the gear 32 synchronously drives the sliding cover body to slide / translate along the surface of the panel 1, thereby realizing the opening or covering of the air outlet 101.

[0084] Preferably, since a guide member and a guide rail are provided that are slidably coupled to each other, during the sliding / translational movement of the sliding cover body along the surface of the panel 1, the guide member on the back of the sliding cover body is confined in the guide rail of the panel 1, so that the sliding cover body can slide smoothly along a straight line.

[0085] like Figure 5 As shown, an air outlet assembly 5 may also be installed on the air outlet area 12 of the panel 1. Specifically, the air outlet assembly 5 may include an air guide groove 51 and an air guide flap 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 can be detachably installed to the air outlet 101. The air guide flap 52 is arranged at the bottom of the air guide groove 51. The air guide flap 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 may be arranged in a box body covered and connected to the panel 1, and the circulated heated air can be returned to the room through the air outlet 101 by means of the fan.

[0086] In this embodiment of the present application, the lighting assembly 2 and the sliding cover assembly 3 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 a slid-out position exposing the air inlet 100 and a retracted position shielding the air inlet 100. The sliding cover assembly 3 (specifically, the sliding cover body) is configured to move relative to the panel 1 to switch between a slid-out position exposing the air outlet 101 and a retracted position shielding the air outlet 101. The first motion trajectory S1 generated by the lighting assembly 2 relative to the panel 1 and the second motion trajectory S2 generated by the sliding cover assembly 3 relative to the panel 1 intersect with each other.

[0087] It can be understood that 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 air inlet 100 and the air outlet 101 are fluidly connected, wherein the movement direction of the lighting assembly 2 and the movement direction of the sliding cover assembly 3 intersect with each other.
