Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom heater technology, specifically to a bathroom heater. Background Technology

[0002] A bathroom heater is a small household appliance that combines multiple functions such as heating, infrared therapy, ventilation, and decoration in a bathroom through a clever combination of a specially designed waterproof infrared heat wave tube and an exhaust fan.

[0003] In existing technology, the air inlet of the fan assembly of a bathroom heater is set downwards, and a functional module of a certain volume, such as a lighting, beauty light module and its heat dissipation module, is set between the panel and the air collection plate, which requires the air inlet to be avoided.

[0004] However, existing bathroom heater panels lack a continuous, large design and installation space, which means that the modules and connection structures on the panel cannot be directly connected to the main unit in the air inlet area or even use the empty space of the main unit. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the problem that the panel of the existing bathroom heater lacks a continuous and large area of ​​design and installation space, thereby providing a bathroom heater.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a bathroom heater, including: a housing, a panel, a fan assembly, and a functional module; the housing is used for installation on the ceiling joists; the panel is located below the housing, and the panel is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet; the fan assembly is located inside the housing, the air inlet end of the fan assembly is oriented away from the panel, an installation space is reserved between the fan assembly and the panel, the air inlet end of the fan assembly is connected to the air inlet, and the air outlet end of the fan assembly is connected to the air outlet, forming a ventilation channel inside the housing.

[0007] In use, the housing is installed on the ceiling joists. Air enters the ventilation channel through the air inlet on the panel, and is then transported to the air outlet by the fan assembly. The air inlet of the fan assembly inside the housing faces away from the panel, creating an installation space between the fan assembly and the panel. This allows for a more continuous and larger design and installation area on the panel, eliminating the need to consider the impact of air resistance on the ventilation channel at the air inlet of the fan assembly. The bathroom heater provided by this utility model solves the problem of the lack of a continuous and large design and installation space on the panel of existing bathroom heaters.

[0008] Optionally, the fan assembly includes: a volute disposed on the housing, the volute being spaced apart from the panel, the volute having an air supply channel communicating with the air outlet; an air collecting plate disposed on the side of the volute away from the panel, the air collecting plate having an air inlet; and a fan disposed inside the volute, the fan's inlet communicating with the air inlet and its outlet communicating with the air supply channel. With this arrangement, air in the ventilation channel enters the fan through the air inlet on the air collecting plate, and the air enters the air supply channel and is delivered to the air outlet, completing the air supply. The volute being spaced apart from the panel, and the air collecting plate being located on the side of the volute away from the panel, allows the air inlet of the fan assembly to face away from the panel, forming an installation space between the fan assembly and the panel, allowing for a more continuous and larger area on the panel for designing and installing functional modules.

[0009] Optionally, a fixing frame is provided on the volute, and the fixing frame is located below the housing. The fixing frame is provided with a mounting part for connecting the keel. With the above configuration, during installation, the fixing frame is connected to the housing, so that the volute is located inside the housing, that is, the fan assembly is located inside the housing. The fixing frame is installed above the ceiling keel through the mounting part on the fixing frame.

[0010] Optionally, the panel is installed below the ceiling joists. This arrangement allows the fan assembly and panel to be spaced apart, creating an installation space between them and providing a more continuous and larger area on the panel for designing and installing functional modules.

[0011] Optionally, the panel is provided with an extension edge extending towards the housing in the circumferential direction, and the extension edge is provided with a clearance notch. With the above configuration, the ceiling joists are installed by embedding them into the clearance notch on the extension edge, which allows the panel to be spaced apart from the fan assembly while keeping the bottom surface of the panel flush with the ceiling surface, thus improving aesthetics.

[0012] Optionally, an air guide plate is provided inside the air supply duct. Through this arrangement, the air guide plate guides the air within the air supply duct.

[0013] Optionally, the air guide plate includes a curved portion. With the above configuration, the curved portion of the air guide plate can form a curved airflow within the air delivery channel, reducing wind speed and thus eliminating white fog.

[0014] Optionally, the panel is provided with functional modules, which are located within the installation space. With this arrangement, the functional modules on the panel occupy the installation space for design and installation, resulting in a more continuous and larger design and installation area, without affecting the airflow resistance of the ventilation duct.

[0015] Optionally, the functional module includes: a beauty module, on which a heat sink is provided, the heat sink being disposed within the air supply channel. With this arrangement, when the beauty module is located at the corresponding position in the air supply channel, the heat sink of the beauty module extends into the air supply channel, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0016] Optionally, the functional module includes a condensing module, which includes a cooling element disposed on the panel. Through this arrangement, the cooling capacity generated by the cooling element lowers the temperature inside the housing, facilitating the condensation of moisture in the air within the ventilation and air supply channels, thus achieving condensation dehumidification and water droplet removal.

[0017] Optionally, the condensing module further includes a condenser, one end of which is connected to the cooling component, and the other end of which extends into the air supply channel. With this configuration, the cooling energy generated by the cooling component is transferred to the end of the condenser extending into the air supply channel. When the air in the air supply channel comes into contact with the condenser, the moisture in the air condenses, achieving the effects of condensation dehumidification and water droplet removal.

[0018] Optionally, the functional module includes a moisture-absorbing module, which has a moisture-absorbing element that extends into the air supply channel. Through this configuration, the moisture-absorbing element can absorb moisture from the air in the air supply channel, achieving dehumidification and drying effects.

[0019] Optionally, an air intake port is provided on the side wall and / or bottom surface of the housing, and the air intake port is connected to the ventilation channel. With this configuration, air from within the ceiling cavity enters the ventilation channel through the air intake port, thereby ensuring sufficient airflow from the bathroom heater / ventilation unit.

[0020] Optionally, the housing is equipped with a purification module at the air supply inlet. With this configuration, the purification module at the air supply inlet can filter and purify the air within the ceiling cavity, thereby ensuring the quality of the supplied air.

[0032] This embodiment provides a structure for a bathroom heater that allows for continuous installation space on panel 2, for use in bathroom heating, ventilation, physiotherapy, etc.

[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of a bathroom heater, including: a housing 1, a panel 2, a fan assembly 3, and a functional module 4; the housing 1 is used to install on the ceiling joists 5; the panel 2 is located below the housing 1, and the panel 2 is provided with an air inlet 21 and an air outlet 22; the fan assembly 3 is located inside the housing 1, the air inlet end of the fan assembly 3 is oriented away from the panel 2, an installation space is reserved between the fan assembly 3 and the panel 2, the air inlet end of the fan assembly 3 is connected to the air inlet 21, and the air outlet end of the fan assembly 3 is connected to the air outlet 22, forming a ventilation channel 11 inside the housing 1.

[0034] In use, the housing 1 is installed on the ceiling joists 5. Air enters the ventilation channel 11 through the air inlet 21 on the panel 2, and is then delivered to the air outlet 22 by the fan assembly 3. The air inlet end of the fan assembly 3 inside the housing 1 faces away from the panel 2, creating an installation space between the fan assembly 3 and the panel 2. This allows for a more continuous and larger design installation area on the panel 2, eliminating the need to consider the wind resistance of the ventilation channel 11 at the air inlet end of the fan assembly 3. The bathroom heater provided in this embodiment solves the problem of the lack of a continuous and large design installation space on the panel of existing bathroom heaters.

[0035] It should be noted that the air inlet 21 on the panel 2 is located near the edge of the panel 2.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, the fan assembly 3 includes: a volute 31, disposed on the housing 1, the volute 31 being spaced apart from the panel 2, the volute 31 having an air supply channel 311 inside, the air supply channel 311 being connected to the air outlet 22; an air collecting plate 32, disposed on the side of the volute 31 away from the panel 2, the air collecting plate 32 having an air inlet 321; and a fan, disposed inside the volute 31, the air inlet end of the fan being connected to the air inlet 321, and the air outlet end of the fan being connected to the air supply channel 311. Air in the ventilation channel 11 enters the fan through the air inlet 321 on the air collecting plate 32, and then enters the air supply channel 311 to be delivered to the air outlet 22, completing the air supply. The volute 31 is spaced apart from the panel 2, and the air collecting plate 32 is located on the side of the volute 31 away from the panel 2, which allows the air inlet end of the fan assembly 3 to face away from the panel 2, forming the installation space between the fan assembly 3 and the panel 2. This allows the panel 2 to have a more continuous and larger area for designing and installing the functional module 4. Specifically, at the air inlet 321, the air collecting plate 32 is set as a curved surface that is concave towards the volute 31, which plays a role in converging and guiding the air. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the fan assembly 3 can also be an axial flow fan, with the circumference of the axial flow fan arranged vertically and the air inlet end of the axial flow fan facing upwards.

[0037] Specifically, the fan includes a motor 33 and a fan wheel 34. The motor 33 is disposed inside the volute 31, and the drive shaft of the motor 33 extends in a direction away from the panel 2. The fan wheel 34 is disposed on the drive shaft of the motor 33. The air inlet end of the fan wheel 34 is connected to the air inlet 321, and the air outlet end of the fan wheel 34 is connected to the air supply channel 311.

[0038] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, a fixing frame 6 is provided on the volute 31. The fixing frame 6 is located below the housing 1, and a mounting part for connecting the ceiling joists 5 is provided on the fixing frame 6. During installation, the fixing frame 6 is connected to the housing 1, so that the volute 31 is located inside the housing 1, that is, the fan assembly 3 is located inside the housing 1. The fixing frame 6 is installed above the ceiling joists 5 through the mounting part on the fixing frame 6. Alternatively, as an alternative embodiment, the mounting part can also be provided on the housing 1.

[0039] like Figure 1-4As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, the panel 2 is installed below the ceiling joists 5. The ceiling joists 5 allow the fan assembly 3 and the panel 2 to be spaced apart, forming an installation space between the fan assembly 3 and the panel 2, allowing the panel 2 to have a more continuous and larger area for designing and installing the functional module 4. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the panel 2 and the housing 1 can also be manufactured as a single piece, with the volute 31 fixed inside the housing 1 by a bracket.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, the panel 2 has an extension edge 23 extending towards the housing 1 in its circumferential direction. The extension edge 23 has a clearance notch 24 for accommodating the ceiling joist 5. The ceiling joist 5 is installed by embedding it into the clearance notch 24 on the extension edge 23, allowing the panel 2 and the fan assembly 3 to be spaced apart while maintaining the bottom surface of the panel 2 flush with the ceiling surface, thus improving aesthetics. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the panel 2 has a fastener extending horizontally in its circumferential direction for fastening to the ceiling joist 5.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, an air guide plate is provided inside the air supply channel 311. The air guide plate can guide the air inside the air supply channel 311. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the air guide plate can be omitted, and air can be guided to the air outlet 22 simply by the air supply channel.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, the air guide plate includes a curved portion. The curved portion of the air guide plate can form a curved air duct within the air supply channel 311, which can reduce the wind speed and thus eliminate white fog. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the curved air guide plate can be disposed within the ventilation channel 11 inside the housing 1.

[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, a functional module 4 is provided on the panel 2, and the functional module 4 is located within the installation space. The functional module 4 on the panel 2 occupies the installation space for design and installation, and has a more continuous and larger design and installation area, without affecting the air resistance of the ventilation channel 11. In addition, as an alternative implementation, the functional module can also be located on the side of the panel 2 away from the housing 1.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, the functional module 4 includes a beauty module, on which a heat sink is provided, and the heat sink is disposed within the air supply channel 311. When the beauty module is located at the corresponding position of the air supply channel 311, the heat sink of the beauty module extends into the air supply channel 311, which can improve heat dissipation efficiency. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the heat dissipation module 41 can also be disposed within the ventilation channel 11 inside the housing 1.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, the functional module 4 includes a condensing module, which includes a cooling component disposed on the panel 2. The cooling capacity generated by the cooling component lowers the temperature inside the housing 1, which facilitates the condensation of moisture in the air within the ventilation channel 11 and the air supply channel 311, achieving the effects of condensation dehumidification and water droplet removal. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the cooling component can also be disposed on the fan assembly 3.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the condensing module also includes a condenser, one end of which is connected to the cooling element, and the other end of which extends into the air supply channel 311. The cooling energy generated by the cooling element is transferred to the end of the condenser extending into the air supply channel 311. The air in the air supply channel 311 contacts the condenser, causing the moisture in the air to condense, achieving the effect of condensation dehumidification and water droplet removal. Specifically, the cooling element uses a semiconductor cooling chip; the condenser can be provided with a guide groove, and the condensed water is guided along the guide groove to the water collection component for collection. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the condensing module can extend into the ventilation channel 11 inside the housing 1.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, the functional module 4 includes a moisture-absorbing module, which has a moisture-absorbing element that extends into the air supply channel 311. The moisture-absorbing element can absorb moisture from the air in the air supply channel 311, achieving dehumidification and drying effects. Specifically, a water storage device can be provided at the bottom of the moisture-absorbing element to collect the moisture released from the moisture-absorbing element. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the moisture-absorbing module can be disposed within the ventilation channel 11 inside the housing 1.

[0048] It should be noted that the beauty module, condensation module, moisture absorption module, and air guide plate can be selected in one or more combinations according to the design requirements of the bathroom heater function.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, in the bathroom heater provided in this embodiment, air inlets are provided on the side walls and / or bottom surface of the housing 1, and the air inlets are connected to the ventilation channel 11. Air in the ceiling cavity enters the ventilation channel 11 through the air inlets, thereby ensuring sufficient airflow from the bathroom heater. Specifically, one or more air inlets can be designed according to the airflow requirements, and the size and shape of the air inlets are selected according to the airflow design. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the air inlets can also be formed by the gap between the housing 1 and the panel 2.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, in the bathroom heater, the housing 1 is equipped with a purification module 7 at the air inlet. The purification module 7 at the air inlet can filter and purify the air in the ceiling cavity, thereby ensuring the quality of the air supply. Specifically, the purification module 7 can be a filter screen or a filter block, etc. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the purification module 7 can be omitted, and the air in the ceiling cavity can be directly absorbed as a supplementary air source.

[0051] How to use:

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment of the bathroom heater, when in use, the housing 1 is installed on the ceiling keel 5, the functional module 4 is installed on the panel 2 and located in the installation space between the panel 2 and the fan assembly 3. Air enters the ventilation channel 11 through the air inlet 21 on the panel 2, and is then delivered to the air outlet 22 through the fan assembly 3.

[0053] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description.
