[0031] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an energy-saving fan heater includes a casing 1 that is bolted to an indoor wall.

[0034] The housing 1 is fixedly connected to and connected to a solar air heater 4 via a connecting pipe 3. The input end of the solar air heater 4 is connected to the atmosphere. A temperature sensor 2 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the housing 1, and a temperature sensor 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3. A heating wire 6 and a fan 7 are fixedly installed inside the housing 1. The temperature sensor 2, the temperature sensor 5, the heating wire 6, and the fan 7 are all electrically connected to the same central processing unit. The central processing unit is located inside the housing 1, and an air outlet 9 is opened on the inner wall at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0035] In this device, the casing 1 is located indoors, and the solar air heater 4 is located outdoors. The two are connected by a connecting pipe 3. Temperature sensors 2 and 5 are used to monitor the temperature inside the casing and the connecting pipe 3, respectively. When temperature sensor 5 detects that the temperature inside the connecting pipe 3 is lower than the set value, the central processing unit turns on the heating wire 6 and the fan 7. The fan 7 draws outside air into the casing 1 through the solar air heater 4, heats it through the heating wire 6, and then delivers it to the indoor environment to ensure that the temperature reaches the set value. When the temperature inside the connecting pipe 3 is appropriate, the heating wire 6 is turned off, and the fan 7 is turned on to provide heat using the heat inside the connecting pipe 3. When the temperature inside the connecting pipe 3 is too high, the fan 7 is turned off, stopping the air circulation in the connecting pipe 3. The fan 7 is turned on again to allow air circulation in the pipe and prevent the temperature from being too high and causing discomfort to the human body.

[0036] This device, by setting up a housing 1, a connecting pipe 3, and a solar air heater 4, can obtain the indoor temperature and the temperature inside the connecting pipe 3 by using temperature sensor 2 and temperature sensor 5 respectively, and make corresponding adjustments based on the set temperature requirements, making full use of clean energy and reducing power consumption.

[0037] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the inner wall of the air outlet 9 is rotatably connected to multiple baffles 8 via a rotating shaft 11. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 11 is keyed to a bevel gear 12, and the outer wall of the bevel gear 12 is meshed with a bevel gear 13. The inner walls of all the bevel gears 13 are keyed to the same drive shaft 14.

[0038] The drive shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and one end of the drive shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the motor 15 through a coupling. The motor 15 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1 by bolts.

[0039] The starter motor 15 drives the transmission shaft 14 to rotate multiple bevel gears 13. With the cooperation of bevel gear 12 and rotating shaft 11, multiple baffles 8 are driven to swing back and forth along the axis of rotating shaft 11 as the center of rotation, thereby adjusting the direction and range of air outlet.

[0040] This device, by setting multiple baffles 8, utilizes the cooperation of the rotating shaft 11, bevel gear 12, bevel gear 2 13 and transmission shaft 14 to make the baffles 8 swing back and forth along the axis of the rotating shaft 11 as the center of rotation, thereby adjusting the direction and range of air outlet and making the hot air more evenly dispersed into the room, thus improving the user experience.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, a hanging rod 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 1. The hanging rod 16 allows items such as towels and scarves to be hung on it and dried with hot air, thus improving the functionality of the device.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] An energy-saving fan heater, this embodiment is based on embodiment 1 with the following improvements, such as... Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figure 6:

[0044] The housing 1 is equipped with a filter assembly, which includes a filter plate 10 and a limiting plate 17.

[0045] The limiting plate 17 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the filter plate 10, the filter plate 10 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the housing 1, and the outer wall of the limiting plate 17 is fixedly connected to a fixing post 18, and the inner wall of the fixing post 18 is rotatably connected to a pull ring 19.

[0046] In this embodiment, pulling the pull ring 19 can use the fixing post 18 and the limiting plate 17 to pull the filter plate 10 out of the housing 1, thereby cleaning the filter plate 10 and preventing the filter plate 10 from being blocked by too much dust.

[0047] This device filters the air by setting a filter plate 10 to prevent external dust and impurities from entering the room. The filter plate 10 can be pulled out from the housing 1 by using a pull ring 19 to remove the dust attached to the surface of the filter plate 10 and prevent dust accumulation from obstructing airflow.

[0048] Working Principle: During operation, the housing 1 is located indoors, and the solar air heater 4 is located outdoors, connected by a connecting pipe 3. Temperature sensors 2 and 5 monitor whether the indoor and connecting pipe 3 temperatures are within the set range. If the temperature in the connecting pipe 3 is lower than the set value, the central processing unit activates the heating element 6 and the fan 7. The fan 7 draws outside air through the input of the solar air heater 4 into the housing 1, where it is heated by the heating element 6 and then delivered indoors, ensuring the temperature reaches the set value. When the temperature in the connecting pipe 3 is appropriate, the system shuts off. The heating element 6 is activated, and the fan 7 is started to provide heat using the heat in the connecting pipe 3. When the temperature in the connecting pipe 3 is too high, the fan 7 is turned off to stop the air circulation in the connecting pipe 3 until the air temperature in the connecting pipe 3 drops to the set range. Then, the fan 7 is started again to allow air circulation in the pipe and avoid discomfort caused by excessive temperature. When it is necessary to adjust the air outlet direction and range, the motor 15 can be started to drive the transmission shaft 14 to drive multiple bevel gears 13 to rotate. With the cooperation of the bevel gears 12 and the rotating shaft 11, multiple baffles 8 are driven to swing back and forth along the axis of the rotating shaft 11 as the center of rotation.

[0049] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
