Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric heaters, in particular to a foldable electric heater. Background Art

[0002] An electric heater is a heating device that converts electrical energy into heat. It uses a built-in heating element to convert electrical energy into heat, which is then dissipated into the room through a fan or natural convection, thereby raising the indoor temperature. Electric heaters offer instant heating, are easy to move, and are simple to install, making them suitable for use in homes, offices, dormitories, and other places. Common types of electric heaters include oil-filled radiators, ceramic heaters, quartz tube heaters, and electric heating film heaters. Exercise caution when using these heaters and avoid leaving them unattended for extended periods to prevent fires and other safety hazards.

[0003] Due to their large size, electric heaters, especially when equipped with fans and other components, take up more space. This can be a practical disadvantage, especially in living environments with limited space. The larger size means more floor space is required to accommodate the heater, which can restrict furniture placement and room layouts. Furthermore, larger units are more difficult to transport and store, especially when the heater needs to be moved frequently. Utility Model Content

[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a foldable electric heater with a unique design and functionality comprises a main frame 1, a heating tube 2, and a shielding net 3. The heating tube 2 is cleverly mounted midway within the main frame 1, ensuring efficient heating. Two shielding nets 3 are installed at the two end openings of the main frame 1, effectively preventing the ingress of dust and foreign matter while ensuring the safe use of the heating tube 2. Through the heating of the heating tube 2, users can easily achieve electric heating and enjoy a warm environment.

[0027] The main frame 1 is connected to the foldable and flip frame 4 via a hinge assembly 5. The hinge assembly 5 allows for easy separation of the foldable and flip frame 4 from the main frame 1. A fixing block 8 and a fixing bracket 6 are located at the separated ends of the foldable and flip frame 4 and main frame 1, respectively. These two components ensure the heater's stability and safety. The sidewalls of the fixing bracket 6 feature a notch 7, while the fixing block 8 is fitted with a fastening bolt 9, which is then fitted with a locking nut 10 through the notch. This ingenious design ensures a secure connection between the foldable and flip frame 4 and the main frame 1.

[0028] The outer end of the folding and flipping frame 4 is connected to an isolation cover 13 through a mounting frame 11, and a fan 12 is provided inside the cover of the isolation cover 13. The fan 12 is aligned with the folding and flipping frame 4 and realizes the blowing operation, making the functions of the electric heater more diverse. When the fan 12 is flipped to the side of the main frame 1, the electric heater is in a cold air blowing state, and the user can enjoy a cool breeze. When the heating tube 2 is used alone, the electric heater is in an electric heating state, providing warmth to the user. When the fan 12 is aligned with the heating tube 2 to blow air, the electric heater is in a hot air blowing state, and the user can enjoy a warm breeze.

[0029] The main frame 1 adopts a square frame design, which is structurally stable and aesthetically pleasing. The cross-section of the folding and flipping frame 4 is an isosceles trapezoidal design, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also increases the stability of the electric heater. A filter is also installed at the inner end of the folding and flipping frame 4, effectively filtering out dust and impurities in the air, ensuring clean air.

[0030] The four corner openings of the mounting frame 11 are aligned with the screw holes on the folding and flipping frame 4, and the mounting frame 11 is fixed to the folding and flipping frame 4 by inserting bolts. The isolation cover 13 is fixed to the mounting frame 11 by bolts, and the motor of the fan 12 is fixed to the isolation cover 13, ensuring the stable operation of the fan 12.

[0031] The fixing frame 6 is fixed to the main frame 1 by welding, ensuring the firmness of the structure. The folding flip frame 4 is also fixed to the fixing block 8 by welding, further enhancing the stability of the electric heater. The fixing block 8 is provided with a screw hole, which is adapted to the fastening bolt 9. One end of the fastening bolt 9 is provided with a rotating handle for user convenience. The fastening bolt 9 is adapted to the thread of the fastening nut 10, making the fixation more secure. The surface of the fastening nut 10 is provided with a rubber anti-slip gasket, which presses it against the fixing frame 6, increasing friction and preventing loosening.

[0032] The interface between the main frame 1 and the folding and flipping frame 4 is equipped with anti-slip pads and cushioning pads. These pads not only prevent the heater from sliding during use but also reduce noise and damage caused by collisions. Support brackets are installed at both ends of the heating tube 2 and are connected to the main frame 1 via bolts, ensuring the stability and safety of the heating tube 2.

[0033] The isolation net 3 is bolted to the main frame 1. It is composed of crisscrossing rods and a support frame. The rods are welded to the support frame, making the isolation net 3 both strong and durable. It effectively prevents dust and foreign matter from entering the heating tube 2, ensuring the cleanliness and safe use of the electric heater.

[0034] Instructions: Ensure the heater is placed on a flat, stable surface. Check the power outlet and ensure the heater's power cord is properly connected. Plug the heater's power cord into the power outlet. Turn on the heater's power switch to start the heater.

[0035] Select electric heating mode or air blowing mode as needed. Use heating tube 2 directly for heating and enjoy a warm environment. Start fan 12 and select cold air blowing or hot air blowing mode based on the position of fan 12. Adjust the angle and position of folding and flipping frame 4 as needed to achieve the optimal heating or air blowing effect. Use fixing block 8 and fastening bolts 9 to adjust and secure the position of folding and flipping frame 4.

[0036] Avoid leaving the heater unattended for extended periods to prevent accidents. Ensure there are no flammable or explosive items around the heater. Clean the isolation screen 3 and filter regularly to keep the device clean.

[0037] Folding process: Turn off the power switch of the electric heater. Disconnect the power plug and make sure that the electric heater stops working completely. Loosen the fastening bolts 9 so that the folding flip frame 4 can move freely. Remove the connection between the fixing block 8 and the fixing frame 6. Fold the folding flip frame 4 toward the main frame 1 so that it is parallel to or overlaps with the main frame 1. Make sure that the inner end of the folding flip frame 4 is aligned with the inner cavity of the main frame 1. Reinsert the fixing block 8 of the folding flip frame 4 into the screw hole of the fixing frame 6. Tighten the fastening bolts 9 to ensure that the folding flip frame 4 is firmly fixed to the main frame 1. Make sure that there is no dust and debris on the surface and inside of the electric heater. Place the electric heater in a dry and ventilated environment to avoid damage to the equipment due to moisture.
