Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a component structure of a heating device, specifically to an air inlet window panel for a bathroom heater used for air conditioning. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, people's demands for daily necessities also increase. During winter showers, the low ambient temperature, coupled with the fact that bathrooms typically lack air conditioning for heating, makes it easy to feel cold and carries the risk of catching a cold.
[0003] The most common bathroom heating device in the past was the bathroom heater. Although it uses high-power light bulbs to emit light and heat to heat the bathroom, the heat from the bathroom heater is unevenly distributed in the bathroom. It is easy for the area near the bathroom heater to be too hot and the area far away to be too cold. Moreover, the strong light emitted by the bathroom heater can also be harmful to people's skin and cannot be exposed to for a long time.
[0004] Nowadays, fan-type bathroom heaters are increasingly becoming the preferred choice for bathroom heating because they can introduce hot air into the bathroom and circulate it to evenly distribute the temperature within a comfortable range. Since the air in fan-type heaters typically comes from outdoors, the air inlet needs to be protected by a window panel. Furthermore, the required airflow varies depending on the usage scenario, so auxiliary air inlets are often included. These auxiliary air inlets are closed when the required airflow is low and open when a higher airflow is needed. Therefore, auxiliary air inlets often require their own separate air inlet window panel for protection.
[0005] The existing air inlet window panel structure is uniform, and the protection strength for different parts of the heater is the same. It is not possible to reinforce the window panel structure at specific locations based on the importance of the components, thereby achieving further protection for those parts. For example, the "air inlet window of an ice maker that is easy to disassemble and clean" disclosed in announcement number CN214949967U has air inlet window panels with the same degree of inclination and identical structures. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a structurally reliable air inlet window panel to protect the air inlet. A further purpose of this invention is to effectively prevent foreign objects from entering the heater through the air inlet window panel and causing damage. Another purpose of this invention is to provide a simple and reliable way to securely connect the air inlet window panel to the heater.
[0007] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned technical objectives through the following technical means.
[0008] A bathroom heater air inlet window panel is integrally formed, with an air inlet in the middle of the window panel. The air inlet is evenly divided by air inlet partitions. A honeycomb grid is provided between the air inlet partitions at the upper and lower ends of the window panel. The honeycomb grid is installed between two adjacent air inlet partitions. A recessed window panel mating groove is provided at the edge of the window panel.
[0009] Furthermore, the cross-section of the air inlet baffle consists of two parts: the outer side is the inclined part of the baffle, and the inner side is the flat part of the baffle.
[0010] Preferably, the two ends of the air inlet are arc-shaped air inlet side arc segments.
[0011] Furthermore, the inclined portion of the partition and the flat portion of the partition are connected at an obtuse angle.
[0012] Preferably, the wall thickness of the inclined portion of the partition near the outer side is greater than the wall thickness of the flat portion of the partition, and the wall thickness at the connection point between the inclined portion and the flat portion of the partition is less than the wall thickness of the flat portion of the partition.
[0013] Furthermore, an air inlet side arc segment is provided at the connection position between the adjacent air inlet partition and the window panel.
[0014] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the window panel are provided with symmetrical window panel positioning grooves.
[0015] Preferably, window panel slots are symmetrically provided on the window panel mating groove located on the side of the window panel.
[0016] Furthermore, window panel mounting holes are provided on both sides of the window panel positioning groove.
[0017] Furthermore, the mounting holes for the window panel are stepped holes.
[0018] This invention has the following benefits:
[0019] Compared to the snap-on installation method used in the comparison technology, the window panel of this utility model is simple to position and can be installed firmly. In addition, a honeycomb grid is set on the air inlet partition at the connection and installation part with other components of the heater, which enhances the protection of the internal components of the heater. At the same time, because the air inlet partition is not a uniform structure, it also has a better blocking effect on foreign objects, making it less likely for foreign objects to enter the heater.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0025] Example 1:
[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses an air inlet window panel for a bathroom heater. The panel is manufactured using a one-piece molding process, resulting in a compact, sturdy, and durable structure. Its purpose is to protect the auxiliary air intake channel of the bathroom heater. The panel's function is to ensure sufficient airflow into the heater while preventing foreign objects from entering, thereby increasing the heater's maximum air intake and lifespan.
[0027] The window panel is manufactured using a one-piece molding technology, which involves injection molding. It has high strength and stable structure, and is also conducive to mass production, resulting in fast production speed and effectively reducing costs.
[0028] A simpler and more aesthetically pleasing design: The one-piece molding surface is smooth and flat with flowing lines, giving it a simpler and more sophisticated look. This enhances the overall aesthetics and class of the bathroom heater, making it easier to blend with modern bathroom décor.
[0029] Easy to clean and maintain: The seamless, one-piece molded surface prevents dirt from accumulating, making cleaning quick and easy. Users can simply wipe the window panel clean.
[0030] Reduce production costs and improve production efficiency: Compared with modular assembly, one-piece molding reduces assembly processes and the number of parts, thereby reducing production costs, improving production efficiency, and facilitating large-scale production.
[0031] The air inlet 12 is located in the middle of the window panel and is the main channel for air to enter the heater. The air inlet 12 occupies most of the window panel area, ensuring a large area is available for air intake into the heater and improving air intake efficiency. At the same time, multiple air inlet baffles 1 are evenly arranged on the air inlet 12 to ensure that while meeting the heater's air intake requirements, they effectively block larger foreign objects such as stones, twigs, and leaves from entering, protecting the internal components of the heater.
[0032] The air inlet baffle 1 evenly divides the air inlet 12, forming multiple parallel air intake channels, which can effectively disperse airflow and improve the uniformity and stability of the air entering the heater. The air inlet baffle 1 is a horizontally distributed baffle evenly distributed within the air inlet 12.
[0033] The air inlet baffle 1 divides the larger air inlet 12 into multiple smaller channels, making the air entering the heater more dispersed and uniform, avoiding excessively concentrated airflow that could cause localized excessively high or low wind speeds. By dividing the airflow, the air inlet baffle 1 can effectively reduce overall wind resistance, making it easier for air to enter the heater, improving air intake efficiency, and thus increasing the heater's thermal efficiency and heating speed. The cross-sectional shape of the air inlet baffle 1 has a certain guiding effect, which can guide the air to flow in a predetermined direction, optimizing the airflow organization inside the heater and improving heat exchange efficiency.
[0034] Meanwhile, the air inlet partition 1 is also part of the window panel structure, which can support the overall frame of the window panel and further improve the overall strength and rigidity of the window panel. Especially in the air inlet area in the middle of the window panel, the supporting role of the air inlet partition 1 is more obvious and important.
[0035] Two adjacent air inlet partitions 1 are connected to the window panel by an air inlet side arc segment 10. The air inlet side arc segment 10 is semi-circular.
[0036] The honeycomb grid 2 is installed between adjacent air inlet partitions 1 at the upper and lower ends of the window panel. The honeycomb grid 2 has a stronger filtering effect and can block foreign objects more effectively than the air inlet partition 1. The honeycomb grid 2 can block foreign objects of smaller size. Because the area behind the honeycomb grid 2 is where the window panel is connected to the heater, and the area behind the honeycomb grid 2 is connected to some important structures of the heater, these structures need to be additionally protected.
[0037] Meanwhile, the honeycomb grid 2 can further homogenize the airflow and guide the airflow to the center of the air inlet 12. The honeycomb grid 2 can further eliminate turbulence in the airflow. Since the air inlet is close to the edge of the air inlet 12, it is necessary to guide the airflow to the center of the air inlet 12 to improve the air intake efficiency.
[0038] The honeycomb grid 2 can connect to adjacent air inlet baffles 1, forming a localized reinforcing structure at the top and bottom of the window panel. This enhances the strength and rigidity of these areas, resisting external impacts and withstanding the impact of foreign objects on the window panel and honeycomb grid 2 during air intake, thus effectively protecting the components behind the heater. Simultaneously, behind the window panel, to effectively filter out smaller particulate matter, there is a densely poreped filter. However, the filter's inherent structural strength is relatively low and cannot withstand the impact of larger foreign objects. Therefore, to protect the filter, the honeycomb grid 2 and air inlet baffles 1 need to isolate larger foreign objects from the filter.
[0039] The window panel mating groove 3 is located at the edge of the window panel and is recessed. It is the structure that connects the window panel to the air intake panel of the heater.
[0040] The window panel mating groove 3 can mate with the corresponding edge protrusion structure at the heater panel position to achieve quick positioning and installation of the window panel, reduce installation difficulty, and improve installation efficiency.
[0041] The window panel mating groove 3 can provide a larger contact area and a more stable connection. In conjunction with the window panel slot 6 and the window panel positioning groove 4, it can further restrict the movement of the window panel after it is connected to the heater panel, and prevent the window panel from moving relative to the heater panel after installation.
[0042] Unlike the comparative documents and traditional partitions, the air inlet partition 1 is not a uniform partition. Instead, it consists of two partition structures, including an inclined partition 8 on the outer side and a flat partition 9 on the inner side.
[0043] The inclined portion 8 of the outer partition guides external air into the air inlet at its angle, while reducing the airflow velocity and making the airflow into the heater more stable. Furthermore, the inclined portion 8 of the partition also acts as a barrier against foreign objects, preventing larger objects from entering the heater.
[0044] The flat section 9 located on the inner side of the partition connects to the inclined section 8 at an obtuse angle, and the flat section 9 remains horizontal, forming a smooth transition. The flat section can stabilize the airflow guided by the inclined section, allowing it to be distributed more evenly inside the heater.
[0045] Due to their different positions and functions, the wall thickness of the inclined partition 8 near the outer side is greater than that of the flat partition 9. The inclined partition 8 near the outer side is at risk of direct impact from foreign objects. To effectively protect the internal components of the heater, a greater wall thickness is needed to ensure the structural strength of the inclined partition 8. This ensures the inclined partition 8 is sturdy and durable, with strong impact resistance. In contrast, the inner part of the inclined partition 8 and the flat partition 9 experience relatively less stress and do not withstand greater impacts, allowing for a thinner wall thickness to reduce overall weight and save material costs. The wall thickness at the connection point between the inclined partition 8 and the flat partition 9 is less than that of the flat partition 9.
[0046] The window panel has symmetrical positioning grooves 4 at both the top and bottom ends for auxiliary positioning, ensuring the accuracy of the fit between the window panel and the heater. The positioning grooves 4 can cooperate with the corresponding positioning structures on the heater panel to assist in the precise positioning of the window panel during installation, ensuring that the window panel is installed in the correct position. At the same time, the positioning grooves 4 can limit the horizontal displacement of the window panel, enhance the stability of the window panel after installation, and prevent the window panel from shaking or shifting during use.
[0047] Symmetrical window panel slots 6 are provided on the window panel mating groove 3 located on the side of the window panel. Their function is similar to that of the window panel positioning groove 4, serving to assist in positioning and ensure the accuracy of the fit between the window panel and the heater. The window panel slots 6 can mate with the corresponding positioning structures on the heater panel to assist in the precise positioning of the window panel during installation, ensuring accurate installation. Simultaneously, the window panel slots 6 can restrict the vertical displacement of the window panel, enhancing its stability after installation and preventing it from shaking or shifting during use.
[0048] The window panel positioning groove 4 and window panel slot 6 can restrict the movement of the window panel relative to the heater panel in both horizontal and vertical directions, so that the window panel can quickly fit with the heater panel, quickly position and quickly install.
[0049] Window panel mounting holes 5 are provided on both sides of the window panel positioning groove 4. The window panel mounting holes 5 are stepped holes, which can be used to fix the window panel to the heater panel with bolts. A heater mounting part 11 is provided on the back of the window panel, and the heater mounting part 11 is inserted into the components inside the heater.
[0050] The outer side of the window panel mating groove 3 is the window panel wall 7. The window panel wall 7 has a small thickness and is a protruding structure, which can be hung on the heater panel.
[0051] Example 2:
[0052] The structure of this embodiment is similar to that of Embodiment 1, and the installation method of the window panel is further described.

[0057] Reduce production costs and improve production efficiency: Compared with modular assembly, one-piece molding reduces assembly processes and the number of parts, thereby reducing production costs, improving production efficiency, and facilitating large-scale production.

Especially in the air inlet area in the middle of the window panel, the supporting role of the air inlet partition 1 is more obvious and important.
[0062] The honeycomb grid 2 is installed between adjacent air inlet partitions 1 at the upper and lower ends of the window panel. The honeycomb grid 2 has a stronger filtering effect and can block foreign objects more effectively than the air inlet partition 1. The honeycomb grid 2 can block foreign objects of smaller size. Because the area behind the honeycomb grid 2 is where the window panel is connected to the heater, and the area behind the honeycomb grid 2 is connected to some important structures of the heater, these structures need to be additionally protected.
