Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] When in use, a fan-operated bathroom heater heats air by passing it through a PTC heating element, and then ventilates the heated air. This raises the temperature in the bathroom, improving the comfort of showering in cold weather. Because the internal temperature of a fan-operated bathroom heater is maintained for a relatively long period of time and there is a continuous flow of hot air, the moisture in the bathroom has a relatively low impact on it. However, in seasons when the fan-operated bathroom heater is not used, some moisture generated during showering can enter the interior of the heater, easily causing mold growth. This results in the hot air emitted when it is used again having a musty smell, which can affect the user's health and negatively impact the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of fan-heated bathroom heater, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The novel air-heated bathroom heater includes a panel and a cover disposed on one side of the panel. The panel has an air inlet slot and an air outlet slot. A PTC heating module is disposed on one side of the air inlet slot, and an air distribution module is disposed on one side of the air outlet slot. It also includes an air duct with two ports, which are respectively connected to the air inlet slot and the air outlet slot. The PTC heating module and the air distribution module are respectively located inside the air duct. Several vertical plates are disposed inside the air inlet slot and the air outlet slot. Several rotatable movable plates are disposed inside the air inlet slot and the air outlet slot. The vertical plates and the movable plates are spaced apart. A first gear is disposed at one end of the movable plate. A first rack that meshes with the first gear is slidably connected to one side of the panel. A fixed plate is disposed on the first rack. A first electric push rod is disposed on one side of the panel. The output end of the first electric push rod is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed plate.

[0005] Preferably, sealing strips are provided on both sides of the movable plate, and the sealing strips are made of silicone.

[0006] Preferably, the vertical plates in the air inlet slot and the air outlet slot are rotatably connected to the air inlet slot and the air outlet slot, respectively. A second gear is provided at one end of the vertical plate. A second rack that meshes with the second gear is slidably connected to one side of the panel. An adjustment plate is provided on the second rack. A second electric push rod is provided on one side of the panel. The output end of the second electric push rod is fixedly connected to one end of the adjustment plate.

[0007] Preferably, the upright plate has arc-shaped grooves on both sides for accommodating the sealing strip.

[0008] Preferably, one of the arc-shaped grooves is located above one side of the upright plate, and the other arc-shaped groove is located below the other side of the upright plate.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] When in use, this type of fan-heated bathroom heater can seal the air inlet and outlet ducts by controlling the rotation of the movable plate. This effectively reduces the amount of water vapor entering the air duct during showering, thus preventing mold growth in the air duct. At the same time, since only the movable plate needs to be rotated and the vertical plate does not need to be rotated, the resistance of the first rack during movement can be reduced, lowering the requirements for material strength.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figure 1-5As shown, a novel air-heated bathroom heater includes a panel 1 and a cover 2 disposed on one side of the panel 1. The panel 1 has an air inlet slot 3 and an air outlet slot 4. A PTC heating module 5 is disposed on one side of the air inlet slot 3, and an air distribution module 6 is disposed on one side of the air outlet slot 4. It also includes an air duct 7, which has two ports connected to the air inlet slot 3 and the air outlet slot 4 respectively. The PTC heating module 5 and the air distribution module 6 are located inside the air duct 7. Several vertical plates 8 are disposed inside the air inlet slot 3 and the air outlet slot 4. Several rotatable movable plates 9 are disposed inside the air inlet slot 3 and the air outlet slot 4. The vertical plates 8 and the movable plates 9 are spaced apart. A first gear 10 is disposed at one end of the movable plate 9. A first rack 11 that meshes with the first gear 10 is slidably connected to one side of the panel 1. A fixed plate 12 is disposed on the first rack 11. A first electric push rod 13 is disposed on one side of the panel 1. The output end of the first electric push rod 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed plate 12.

[0019] The air distribution module 6 is mainly composed of a cross-flow fan. When in use, the PTC heating module 5 is powered on and heated, and the air distribution module 6 is started. External air enters the interior of the air duct 7 through the air inlet slot 3. The air is heated when it passes through the PTC heating module 5, and then discharged from the other port of the air duct 7 and the air outlet slot 4, thereby achieving the heating of indoor air.

[0020] When the bathroom heater is not used for a long time, the first electric push rod 13 is activated. The first electric push rod 13 pushes the first rack 11 to move through the fixed plate 12. Through the meshing of the first rack 11 and the first gear 10, the first gear 10 and the movable plate 9 connected to the first gear 10 are driven to rotate. After the movable plate 9 completes the rotation, the movable plate 9 changes from a vertical state to an inclined or horizontal state. The two sides of the movable plate 9 contact the upright plates 8 on both sides of the movable plate 9 respectively. At the same time, the outermost movable plate 9 can contact the inner wall of the air inlet slot 3 or the air outlet slot 4. After the movable plate 9 completes the adjustment, it can block the air inlet slot 3 and the air outlet slot 4, thereby effectively reducing the water vapor generated during showering from entering the interior of the air duct 7 and minimizing the possibility of mold growth in the air duct 7. When the bathroom heater is restarted, the movable plate 9 can be reset simply by controlling the first electric push rod 13.

[0021] Furthermore, sealing strips 14 are provided on both sides of the movable plate 9. The sealing strips 14 are made of silicone. The compressible sealing strips 14 can increase the sealing between the movable plate 9 and the upright plate 8, and at the same time increase the sealing between the movable plate 9 and the air inlet slot 3 or the air outlet slot 4, so as to minimize the amount of water vapor entering the air duct 7.

[0022] Furthermore, the vertical plates 8 inside the air inlet slot 3 and the air outlet slot 4 are rotatably connected to the air inlet slot 3 and the air outlet slot 4, respectively. A second gear 15 is provided at one end of the vertical plate 8, and a second rack 16 that meshes with the second gear 15 is slidably connected to one side of the panel 1. An adjusting plate 17 is provided on the second rack 16, and a second electric push rod 18 is provided on one side of the panel 1. The output end of the second electric push rod 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting plate 17. When the warm air bathroom heater is in use, the direction of the hot air blown out of its air outlet slot 4 is always downward. If the user is directly under the air outlet slot 4 for a long time, it will affect the user's experience. At the same time, the heating rate of other parts of the room will be significantly lower than that of the air outlet slot 4. Located directly below the air duct 4, the first electric push rod 13 and the second electric push rod 18 can be activated simultaneously when using this bathroom heater. Then, the first rack 11 and the second rack 16 are moved by the fixed plate 12 and the adjusting plate 17, respectively. The rotation of the first gear 10 and the second gear 15 controls the rotation of the movable plate 9 and the upright plate 8, respectively. During the adjustment process, the upright plate 8 and the movable plate 9 are always in a parallel state, which can change the direction of hot air blowing out of the air duct 4 to facilitate the heating of other parts of the room. At the same time, the air intake direction of the air inlet duct 3 will also change, which can accelerate the overall air circulation in the room and help the room temperature rise.

[0023] Furthermore, arc-shaped grooves 19 for accommodating sealing strips 14 are respectively provided on both sides of the upright plate 8, which can further increase the sealing between the movable plate 9 and the upright plate 8.

[0024] Furthermore, one of the arc-shaped grooves 19 is located above one side of the upright plate 8, and the other arc-shaped groove 19 is located below the other side of the upright plate 8, which can reduce the rotation angle of the movable plate 9 and shorten the time for the movable plate 9 to be adjusted into place.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
