Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home appliance technology, specifically to a blower system. Background Technology
[0002] Bathroom heaters are a popular choice for many families when showering. They primarily heat the air in the bathroom. Currently, most bathroom heaters are light-type, using specially designed infrared quartz heating bulbs as the heat source. They heat the indoor air directly through radiation, providing warmth immediately upon turning on the light. However, the energy and intensity of the light from these heaters are extremely high. Staring at the light for extended periods can cause the bright light to enter the eyes, reflecting and focusing onto the eyeballs, potentially burning the macula of the retina. The excessively bright light can also interfere with the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, and decreased appetite. Given these drawbacks of light-type bathroom heaters, fan-type bathroom heaters have been introduced to the market.
[0003] A fan-type bathroom heater consists of a heating element and a ventilation system, which delivers heated air into the room. In existing technology, to further enhance the functionality of the bathroom heater, it is connected to a cabinet with multiple air outlets for other drying purposes, such as drying towels, pets, and hair. However, this places higher demands on the air blower module, resulting in a larger module size, increased cost, and an impact on aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. 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.
[0036] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0037] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a blower system, including a flow channel 1, a heating component 2, a cabinet 3, and blower components 4. The flow channel 1 is adapted to be installed within a suspended ceiling and has an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12. The heating component 2 is adapted to be installed within the flow channel 1 and to heat the airflow within the flow channel 1. The cabinet 3 is installed on one side of the suspended ceiling, and its interior communicates with the flow channel 1. An air outlet 31 is provided on the cabinet 3. Several blower components 4 are provided, with one at each of the air inlet 11, air outlet 12, and blower outlet. The airflow first enters the circulation channel 1 through the air inlet 11. After being heated by the heating component 2, it is blown out by the blowing components 4 at the air outlet 12 and the air outlet 31. The blowing components 4 are provided at both the air outlet 31 and the air outlet 12 to ensure that the airflow entering the circulation channel 1 is blown out. This device provides small-power and small-volume blowing components 4 at the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12 and the air outlet 31. By increasing the number of blowing components 4, the device can meet the equipment's requirements for blowing components 4 while reducing the volume and cost of the blowing components 4.
[0038] It should be noted that this blower system is used in bathroom heaters as a blower device.
[0039] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, the blower assembly 4 uses a low-power and small-volume axial flow fan, which enhances the overall aesthetics. Alternatively, the blower assembly 4 can also use a centrifugal fan, a cross-flow fan, or a multi-fan series-parallel design.
[0040] It should be noted that, such as Figure 3 As shown, heating element 2 uses a PTC thermistor, which has the advantages of good stability and strong overload capacity. The airflow passes through the internal pores of heating element 2, carrying the heat generated by heating element 2, thereby heating the airflow. As an alternative implementation, resistance wire heating can also be used.
[0041] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the inside is indoors; the outside is outdoors.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the air inlet 11 is located at the end of the circulation channel 1, specifically at the end of the circulation channel 1 away from the cabinet 3. The air inlet 11 includes an indoor air inlet 111 and an outdoor air inlet 112. The indoor air inlet 111 is located on the side wall of the circulation channel 1 near the interior; the outdoor air inlet 112 is located on the side wall of the circulation channel 1 near the exterior. For ease of processing, the indoor air inlet 111 and the outdoor air inlet 112 are arranged opposite each other. The indoor air inlet 111 is suitable for indoor air intake, and the outdoor air inlet 112 is suitable for outdoor air intake.
[0043] Furthermore, the heating component 2 is disposed between the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12. The air entering through the air inlet 11 flows through the heating component 2 and is heated by the heating component 2, thereby ensuring the heating efficiency of the heating component 2.
[0044] Furthermore, there are several air outlets 31; these air outlets 31 are spaced apart on the side wall of the cabinet 3. The several air outlets 31 can be applied to different scenarios, such as a human heating area, a towel and clothing drying area, a pet drying area, and a floor drying area.
[0045] Furthermore, it also includes a wind deflector 5, which is disposed at the air outlet 31; the wind deflector 5 is disposed corresponding to the air outlet 31; the wind deflector 5 is adapted to guide the airflow direction to the air outlet 31. The wind deflector 5 can guide the airflow passing through the air outlet 31 to the air outlet 31, and the wind deflector 5 has the function of changing the airflow direction and increasing the airflow rate at the air outlet 31.
[0046] Furthermore, the wind-blocking area of several wind deflectors 5 is increased sequentially along the airflow direction, thereby ensuring that the wind deflector 5 at each air outlet 31 blocks the airflow. This prevents the wind deflector located near the air inlet from blocking the wind deflectors behind it, thus ensuring that each wind deflector can intercept a certain amount of airflow.
[0047] Furthermore, an air inlet 32 is provided on the side wall of the cabinet 3. The air inlet 32 is suitable for indoor air to enter the interior of the cabinet 3, and the air inlet 32 is also located at the blower assembly 4. By providing the air inlet 32, the air pressure balance inside the cabinet 3 is ensured.
[0048] Furthermore, it also includes switch structures. Several switch structures are provided at the air inlet 11, air outlet 12, air inlet 32, and air outlet 31. The switch structures are used to control the opening and closing of the air inlet 11, air outlet 12, air inlet 32, and air outlet 31. In this embodiment, a manual louver mechanism is used to control the switches; however, an electric door mechanism can also be used as an alternative implementation.
[0049] It should be noted that circulation channel 1 is a separately designed air duct, and low-cost ceiling materials, such as aluminum honeycomb panels, can also be used to build the air duct.
[0050] It should be noted that different modules can be installed at different air outlets 31, such as steam modules for clothing care or water vapor disinfection, anion modules for deodorization and sterilization, and aromatherapy modules for air purification.
[0051] 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. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
