[0024] Specifically, wind wheel 2 is inhaled cold air by rotating from circular air inlet 15.Cold air is transmitted to PTC heating frame 31 after circular chamber 11, centrifugal air duct 14 and linear air duct 12, and enters indoor by linear air outlet 16 after heating by PTC heating module, wherein PTC heating module is a kind of ceramic material, it can rapidly heat after power on, can heat dissipation to wind, realize the effect of environmental temperature rise.

[0025] Further, the linear air duct 12 and ventilation air duct 13 are communicated with the circular chamber 11 by the centrifugal air duct 14, the centrifugal air duct 14 is gradually narrowed in width from the circular chamber 11;

[0026] Specifically, the reduction of air duct width can increase the pressure of airflow, which is beneficial to push air through the air duct and improve the thermal efficiency of the warmer, and can reduce the turbulence and noise of airflow in the air duct.

[0027] Further, each of the two sides of the centrifugal air duct 14 is provided with a countersunk groove 141 which can abut against the end of the valve vane 4, the back surface of the countersunk groove 141 is bonded and fixed with a magnet block 142, and the end of the valve vane 4 is fixedly embedded with an iron sheet 41 on both sides, so that when the communication state between the linear air duct 12 and the ventilation air duct 13 and the circular chamber 11 changes, the magnet block 142 and the adjacent iron sheet 41 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0028] Specifically, when the communication state between the linear air duct 12 and the ventilation air duct 13 and the circular chamber 11 needs to be changed, the valve vane 4 is moved to the corresponding countersunk groove 141 position under the drive of the switching assembly 3, at this time, the magnet block 142 and the iron sheet 41 are magnetically attracted to each other, helping the valve vane 4 to be stably embedded in the countersunk groove 141, forming a seal, and the integrity of the centrifugal air duct 14 can be maintained to reduce air resistance.

[0029] Further, the side of the countersunk groove 141 towards the valve vane 4 is bonded and fixed with a sealing strip 143, and the sealing strip 143 is provided with a vertical protruding strip 144;

[0030] Specifically, the sealing strip 143 is made of rubber material and has excellent flexibility, when the convex strip 144 is in contact with the valve blade 4, the sealing strip 143 is squeezed to prevent air leakage between the two components, and ensure the heating efficiency and air exchange efficiency of the heater during operation.

[0031] Further, the switching assembly 3 is installed at the junction of the linear air duct 12 and the air exchange air duct 13, which is used to drive the valve blade 4 to change the communication state of the linear air duct 12 and the air exchange air duct 13 with the circular chamber 11, the switching assembly 3 includes a PTC heating frame 31 screwed on the upper side of the linear air duct 12, a motor bracket 32 screwed on the PTC heating frame 31, a driving motor 33 fixedly installed at the upper end of the motor bracket 32, a circular wheel 34 fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 33, and an arc-shaped outer gear rack 35 fixedly connected to one side of the circular wheel 34.

[0032] Specifically, the driving motor 33 is started, and through the rotation of the circular wheel 34 and the arc-shaped outer gear rack 35, the sector plate 37 is driven to rotate, thereby moving the valve blade 4 to a position blocking the linear air duct 12 or the air exchange air duct 13, so as to control the path of the air flow. Compared with directly using a stepping motor to control the state switching of the valve blade 4, this mechanism has lower manufacturing cost, more stable operation, lower technical difficulty, and can effectively reduce noise and vibration.

[0033] Further, the switching assembly 3 further includes a central shaft 36 rotatably embedded at the junction of the air exchange air duct 13 and the linear air duct 12, the valve blade 4 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the central shaft 36, the sector plate 37 is fixedly connected to the top end of the central shaft 36 through the PTC heating frame 31, the arc-shaped slot 38 is formed in the sector plate 37, the arc-shaped inner gear racks 39 are arranged on the two opposite inner walls of the arc-shaped slot 38, the arc-shaped outer gear rack 35 is engaged with the arc-shaped inner gear racks 39 in turn, and the center of the arc-shaped slot 38 coincides with the central shaft 36.

[0034] Specifically, when the driving motor 33 works, the circular wheel 34 drives the arc-shaped outer gear rack 35 to rotate and engage with the arc-shaped inner gear racks 39, so as to realize the rotation of the sector plate 37. By changing the position of the valve blade 4, it can be controlled whether the air flow is discharged through the linear air duct 12 or the air exchange air duct 13. It is worth noting that the arc-shaped outer gear rack 35 is engaged with the arc-shaped inner gear racks 39 in turn, and the iron sheet 41 is magnetically attracted to the magnet block 142 in the engagement gap between the two arc-shaped inner gear racks 39, which can ensure the sealing performance. The engagement gap and the magnetic attraction structure avoid the need for high-precision control of the driving motor 33, and reduce the control difficulty.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] In use, the motor drives the wind wheel 2 to rotate, which can deliver the centrifugal wind power to the linear air duct 12. The cold air is heated by the PTC heating module in the PTC heating frame 31 when passing through the PTC heating frame 31. The hot air generated is discharged from the linear air outlet 16, which can improve the indoor temperature. When ventilation is needed, the driving motor 33 drives the circular wheel 34 to rotate, the arc-shaped external gear rack 35 engages with one of the arc-shaped internal gear racks 39, which can drive the sector plate 37 to rotate by a certain angle, so that the valve blade 4 can be deflected to block the linear air duct 12, and the airflow can be discharged outward through the ventilation air duct 13. Conversely, the valve blade 4 is deflected to block the ventilation air duct 13, and the airflow can be discharged outward through the linear air duct 12. It is worth noting that the valve blade 4 embedded in the countersunk groove 141 can form a streamlined air duct inner wall, which can effectively reduce wind resistance and wind noise. The magnet block 142 is attracted to the iron sheet 41, which can press the sealing strip 143 tightly, ensuring that the valve blade 4 and the countersunk groove 141 do not leak, and ensuring the heating efficiency and ventilation efficiency of the heater during operation.
