Description

An adjustable wall-mounted heater Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heaters, and in particular to an adjustable wall-mounted heater. Background Technology

[0002] Electric heaters use electricity as their primary energy source and employ methods such as resistance heating, induction heating, electric arc heating, electron beam heating, infrared heating, and medium heating to provide warmth to the human body through direct contact, warm air convection, and far-infrared radiation.

[0003] Electric heaters on the market can be broadly divided into two types based on their placement: floor heaters and wall-mounted heaters. Wall-mounted heaters are widely used in large residential communities, villas, offices, shopping malls, factories, warehouses, garages and other places because they do not require floor space and the heat is more easily diffused into the room from a height.

[0004] A wall-mounted electric heater is a type of electric heater that can be hung on a wall. Wall-mounted electric heaters should be thin and lightweight with a large heating area. Currently, existing wall-mounted heaters are usually installed flush against the wall, making them difficult to hang and adjust to a suitable position.

[0005] A prior art example, referring to patent document CN220152830U, discloses a wall-mounted heater with high heat dissipation, including a heater shell, a heating element, and a reflector; the heating element is inserted inside the heater shell; the reflector is installed inside the heater shell and lining the rear side of the heating element; it also includes partition plates; there are several partition plates arranged in a straight line along the length of the heater shell, and the partition plates divide the interior of the heater shell into several heating chambers and several heat dissipation chambers, with the heating chambers and heat dissipation chambers spaced apart; the heating element and the reflector are both disposed in the heating chambers; in this invention, some of the heat released by the heating element is buffered by the heat dissipation chambers during the transfer to the heater shell, so that the amount of heat ultimately transferred to the heater shell is small, ensuring that the temperature of the heater shell does not become too high during the use of the heater. However, existing technologies have certain common problems, such as: 1. Using only a single wall-mounted component results in poor support, making it prone to bending and deformation under stress, which poses a safety hazard; 2. If multiple wall-mounted components are used, since the relative installation positions of the wall-mounted components and the heater casing are fixed, it is impossible to achieve the functions of repositioning and adjustment. When encountering a local area of ​​the wall (support) that does not meet the connection and adjustment requirements of the wall-mounted components, the heater will not be able to be installed and used normally. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an adjustable distance wall-mounted heater.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an adjustable distance wall-mounted heater, comprising:

[0008] The heater casing has a heating chamber;

[0009] A heating element, which is inserted into the heating cavity;

[0010] A reflector is attached to the inner wall of the heating chamber;

[0011] The wall-mounted bracket assembly has one end connected to an external support and the other end connected to the heater housing;

[0012] The back of the heater housing has a horizontal track groove, and the wall-mounted bracket assembly has a slider part that is inserted into the horizontal track groove and can move laterally along the horizontal track groove; it also includes a locking component that acts on the slider part after the slider part is moved, so that the wall-mounted bracket assembly and the heater housing achieve lateral positioning and engagement.

[0013] The aforementioned technical structure utilizes the coordinated operation between the transverse track groove and the slider section to enable the wall-mounted bracket assembly to achieve lateral adjustment relative to the heater housing. Furthermore, after lateral adjustment, a locking component ensures a stable position of the wall-mounted bracket assembly relative to the heater housing, thereby guaranteeing stability and reliability during subsequent use.

[0014] In some preferred embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of adhesive blocks are attached to the back of the heater housing, the spacing between adjacent adhesive blocks is the same, and the adhesive blocks are located below the transverse track groove.

[0015] The rubber block acts like a scale, allowing users to determine the relative position of the wall-mounted bracket assembly and the heater housing by observing its position when adjusting the horizontal position of the slider. It's worth noting that wall-mounted heaters are typically installed on a wall, usually positioned above the user's head. Therefore, users are looking upwards when adjusting the heater. The rubber block's location below the horizontal track groove makes its position easier for the user to observe.

[0016] Optionally, the locking component is a screw, the slider has a threaded hole, the bottom of the transverse track groove has a recessed slot, the screw enters the slot after passing through the threaded hole, and the screw abuts against the groove wall of the slot to form an interference fit.

[0017] Optionally, the locking component is a strip magnet, and the bottom of the transverse track groove is recessed with a mounting groove, in which the strip magnet is embedded;

[0018] Both the heater housing and the slider are made of ferromagnetic material. When the slider approaches the strip magnet, the strip magnet attracts the wall-mounted bracket assembly to the heater housing.

[0019] In some preferred embodiments of this utility model, a first positioning groove is recessed on the inner wall of the heating cavity, and the upper and lower ends of the reflector are bent to form a positioning part. The positioning part is inserted into the first positioning groove to fix the reflector to the heating cavity.

[0020] Furthermore, the opening of the first positioning groove protrudes inward to form a limiting protrusion, which abuts against the positioning part and forms an interference fit.

[0021] In some preferred embodiments of this utility model, an auxiliary magnet is fixed to the rear end of the reflector, and a magnetic force is generated between the auxiliary magnet and the strip magnet to attract the reflector to the heater housing.

[0022] By using auxiliary magnets, some of the external impact force can be offset, thus making the relative positional relationship between the reflector and the heater housing more stable.

[0023] In some preferred embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of second positioning grooves are further provided on the inner wall of the heating cavity, and a support rib is provided in the second positioning groove. The support rib extends at least partially out of the second positioning groove and abuts against the reflector.

[0024] It's worth noting that during the use of the heater, the large amount of heat generated causes the reflector's temperature to rise rapidly, which can easily lead to deformation and affect its luminous effect. The support ribs provide structural support to the reflector, allowing it to remain in a more stable position within the heating chamber.

[0025] In some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the wall-mounted bracket assembly includes a fixed bracket and a movable bracket;

[0026] The rear end of the fixed bracket is connected to the external support body via a first fastener, and the front end of the fixed bracket is detachably connected to the rear end of the movable bracket via a second fastener.

[0027] The slider is integrally formed at the front end of the movable bracket;

[0028] Both the movable and fixed supports are provided with multiple angle adjustment holes that are aligned with each other. The multiple angle adjustment holes have the same lateral rotation axis, and angle markings are provided on the side of the angle adjustment holes on the movable support.

[0029] By adjusting the relative positions of the movable and fixed supports, the heater casing can be rotated, allowing the heater to radiate heat to different locations.

[0030] In some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the heater housing further includes an electrical control cavity, which is separated from the heating cavity and forms an isolation area.

[0031] The electrical control cavity is equipped with an electrical control board, which is electrically connected to the heating element, and the electrical control board is electrically connected to an external power source via a cable.

[0032] A temperature sensor is also installed in the isolation area, and the temperature sensor is connected in communication with the electronic control board.

[0033] The temperature of the isolation area is monitored by a temperature sensor. Once the temperature exceeds the preset maximum value, the signal is sent to the control board to stop the heating element from working, thus achieving the overheat protection function.

[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0035] 1. Through the coordinated operation between the horizontal track groove and the slider, the wall-mounted bracket assembly can achieve horizontal adjustment relative to the heater housing, thereby meeting the installation needs of more scenarios.

[0036] Second, after the horizontal position is adjusted, the locking component achieves the positioning function, so that the wall-mounted bracket assembly is in a stable position relative to the heater housing, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of subsequent use.

[0052] 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.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] Referring to Figures 1-12, an adjustable wall-mounted heater includes: a heater housing 1 having a heating chamber 11; heating tubes 2 passing through the heating chamber 11, the number of heating tubes 2 being not specifically limited and customized according to customer needs, while the size of the heater housing 1 being adaptively adjusted according to the number of heating tubes 2; a reflector 3 abutting against the inner wall of the heating chamber 11, the reflector 3 optimizing heat distribution through the principle of reflection, improving heating efficiency, concentrating heat, and reducing energy waste; and a wall-mounted bracket assembly 4, one end of which is connected to an external support 5 (generally a wall), and the other end of which is connected to the heater housing 1. Unlike existing technologies, the heater housing 1 has a transverse track groove 12 on its back side, and the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 has a slider part 421. The slider part 421 is inserted into the transverse track groove 12 and can be moved laterally along the transverse track groove 12. It also includes a locking component 6. After the slider part 421 is moved, the locking component 6 acts on the slider part 421 so that the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 and the heater housing 1 achieve a transverse positioning engagement.

[0055] By adopting the above-described technical structure, the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 achieves lateral adjustment relative to the heater housing 1 through the coordinated cooperation between the transverse track groove 12 and the slider part 421. Furthermore, after lateral adjustment, the locking component 6 achieves positioning, ensuring that the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 is in a stable position relative to the heater housing 1, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of subsequent use.

[0056] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of adhesive blocks 17 are attached to the back of the heater housing 1, the spacing between adjacent adhesive blocks 17 is the same, and the adhesive blocks 17 are located below the transverse track groove 12.

[0057] The rubber block 17 acts like a scale line, allowing the user to determine the relative position of the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 and the heater housing 1 by observing the position of the rubber block 17 during the adjustment of the horizontal position of the slider part 421. It is worth noting that wall-mounted heaters are generally installed on the wall, typically positioned above the user's head. Therefore, the user is looking upwards during adjustment. The rubber block 17, located below the horizontal track groove 12, makes its position easier for the user to observe.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] Based on the structure of Embodiment 1, there are various structural schemes for the locking component 6. Two preferred schemes are provided here, as follows:

[0060] Optionally, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the locking component 6 is a screw 612 (a common component, not shown in the figures), the slider part 421 has a threaded hole 611, and the bottom of the transverse track groove 12 has a recessed slot 121. The screw 612 enters the slot 121 after passing through the threaded hole 611, and the screw 612 abuts against the groove wall of the slot 121 to form an interference fit. When it is necessary to adjust the transverse position of the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4, the screw 612 needs to be unscrewed first, and then the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 is pulled to allow the sliding part to slide laterally in the transverse track groove 12; after adjustment, the screw 612 is screwed back on to fix the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 to the heater housing 1.

[0061] II. Optionally, referring to Figures 5-7, the locking component 6 is a strip magnet 62, and the bottom of the transverse track groove 12 is recessed with a mounting groove 122, in which the strip magnet 62 is embedded. Both the heater housing 1 and the slider part 421 are made of ferromagnetic material. When the slider part 421 approaches the strip magnet 62, the strip magnet 62 attracts the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 onto the heater housing 1. When the transverse position of the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 needs to be adjusted, the user needs to hold the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 and apply a transverse moving force (the transverse moving force is greater than the magnetic attraction force) to separate the two and allow the sliding part to slide laterally in the transverse track groove 12. After adjustment, the user releases the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4, and under the action of the strip magnet 62, the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 and the heater housing 1 are attracted together.

[0062] Example 3

[0063] In this embodiment, to achieve the positioning connection between the reflector 3 and the heater housing 1, the following structural solution is adopted: Referring to Figures 5 and 6, a first positioning groove 111 is recessed on the inner wall of the heating cavity 11. The upper and lower ends of the reflector 3 are bent to form a positioning part 31. The positioning part 31 is inserted into the first positioning groove 111 to fix the reflector 3 to the heating cavity 11. Further, the opening of the first positioning groove 111 protrudes inward to form a limiting protrusion 112. The limiting protrusion 112 abuts against the positioning part 31 and forms an interference fit to eliminate loosening or separation.

[0064] Referring to Figure 7, based on the structural scheme of the second item of Embodiment 2 (the locking component 6 is a strip magnet 62), an auxiliary magnet 32 ​​is fixed to the rear end of the reflector 3. The auxiliary magnet 32 ​​and the strip magnet 62 generate a magnetic force to attract the reflector 3 onto the heater housing 1, making the position of the reflector 3 more stable and reliable during use. Furthermore, the auxiliary magnet 32 ​​can offset some of the external impact force, thereby making the relative positional relationship between the reflector 3 and the heater housing 1 more stable.

[0065] Preferably, referring to Figure 6, a plurality of second positioning grooves 113 are further provided on the inner wall of the heating cavity 11. Supporting ribs 114 are provided in the second positioning grooves 113, and the supporting ribs 114 extend at least partially outside the second positioning grooves 113 and abut against the reflector 3. It is worth mentioning that during the use of the heater, the large amount of heat generated causes the temperature of the reflector 3 to rise rapidly, which can easily lead to deformation of the reflector 3 and affect its luminous effect. The supporting ribs 114 provide structural support for the reflector 3, allowing it to be positioned more stably within the heating cavity 11.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] The preferred structural scheme of the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 is as follows: Referring to Figure 12, the wall-mounted bracket assembly 4 includes a fixed bracket 41 and a movable bracket 42; the rear end of the fixed bracket 41 is connected to the external support body 5 through a first fastener (preferably a screw 612, not shown in the figure), and the front end of the fixed bracket 41 is detachably connected to the rear end of the movable bracket 42 through a second fastener 7; the slider part 421 is integrally formed at the front end of the movable bracket 42; both the movable bracket 42 and the fixed bracket 41 are provided with a plurality of mutually aligned angle adjustment holes 43, the plurality of angle adjustment holes 43 have the same transverse rotation axis 4a, and an angle mark 44 is provided on the side of the angle adjustment hole 43 on the movable bracket 42.

[0068] Referring to Figure 11, when it is necessary to adjust the relative angle between the heater housing 1 (movable bracket 42) and the fixed bracket 41, first remove the second fastener 7 (preferably a combination of bolt 71 and nut 72), then flip the movable bracket 42 (with the transverse rotation axis 4a as the rotation axis) to adjust the positional relationship between the angle adjustment hole 43 on the movable bracket 42 and the angle adjustment hole 43 on the fixed bracket 41, and identify the positional relationship using the angle mark 44. After adjustment, reinstall the second fastener 7 to fix the heater housing 1 (movable bracket 42) and the fixed bracket 41.

[0069] By adjusting the relative positions of the movable bracket 42 and the fixed bracket 41, the heater housing 1 can be rotated, thereby enabling the heater to radiate heat to different locations.

[0070] Example 4

[0071] Regarding a safety structure scheme for the heater in this disclosure: Referring to Figure 10, the heater housing 1 further includes an electrical control cavity 13, which is separated from the heating cavity 11 and forms an isolation area 14; an electrical control board 16 is provided in the electrical control cavity 13, which is electrically connected to the heating tube 2, and the electrical control board 16 is electrically connected to an external power source via a cable; a temperature sensor 15 is also provided in the isolation area 14, and the temperature sensor 15 is communicatively connected to the electrical control board 16.

[0072] Temperature sensor 15 monitors the temperature of isolation area 14. Once the temperature exceeds the preset maximum value, it feeds back to control board 16 to stop the heating tube 2 from working, thus achieving overheat protection.

[0073] It is worth noting that the other technical solutions of this utility model are all existing technologies, and therefore will not be described in detail.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
