[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this dual-module heater includes:

[0037] The housing 10 has a hollow interior forming a cavity 13. A motor 41 is installed at the bottom of the housing 10. A fan wheel 42 is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 41 and a spiral air duct 17 is arranged around the fan wheel 42. An air outlet 171 communicating with the spiral air duct 17 is opened on one side of the housing 10.

[0038] The lighting module 20 is embedded in the accommodating cavity 13. The lighting module 20 has multiple light strips 22 inside, and the light strips 22 are covered with a light-transmitting plate 24.

[0039] The heating module 30 is arranged in parallel with the lighting module 20. The heating module 30 contains a heating tube 33, and the heating tube 33 is covered with a glass plate 34.

[0040] The top cover 50 is fastened to the housing 10. Two square slots are provided through the top cover 50, corresponding to the lighting module 20 and the heating module 30. External air enters the accommodating cavity 13 through the two square slots and is output to the outside along the spiral air duct 17 and the air outlet 171 under the action of the impeller 42.

[0041] Existing heaters typically have a lighting structure on the surface of the panel and a heating structure inside. Outside air enters the heater through the air intake structure, and after being heated, the air is output through the air outlet 171 on the surface of the panel, thereby achieving the purpose of heating.

[0042] However, such a structural design makes the lighting structure susceptible to overheating due to the heating structure, which can accelerate the aging of the lighting structure, affect its service life, and may also affect the structural stability of the lighting components.

[0043] Therefore, this utility model provides a dual-module heater, which separates the lighting and heating structures by arranging the lighting module 20 and the heating module 30 side by side, thereby avoiding the lighting module 20 structure from being affected by temperature and thus improving its service life.

[0044] Specifically, the heater has a hollow interior, which facilitates the installation of the lighting module 20 and the heating module 30, and also allows for the intake of air during ventilation, enabling rapid air exchange.

[0045] During actual ventilation, the motor 41 starts and drives the impeller 42 to rotate. Indoor air enters the accommodating cavity 13 through the square groove of the upper cover 50, and under the action of the impeller 42, it is transported outward along the spiral air duct 17 and the air outlet 171 to achieve ventilation.

[0046] The lighting module 20 and the heating module 30 are arranged side by side, with separate structures for lighting and heating. The two modules do not interfere with each other when they are working, which can prevent the lighting module 20 from overheating.

[0047] The lighting module 20 preferably emits light outward through the light-transmitting plate 24 via the internally installed light strip 22 for illumination; the heating module 30 preferably radiates heat outward through the glass plate 34 via the internally installed heating tube 33 for heating.

[0048] In this embodiment, the heating element 33 preferably adopts the infrared heating principle, and the glass plate 34 preferably has an infrared transmittance of over 95%, thereby improving the heating effect; the glass plate 34 can protect the heating element 33 and also serve a decorative purpose.

[0049] Preferably, the lighting module 20 includes a lighting box 21 fixedly connected to both sides of the housing 10, each of the above-mentioned light strips 22 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the lighting box 21, and a plurality of LED beads 23 are evenly distributed on each light strip 22, and the above-mentioned light-transmitting plate 24 is fastened to the top of the lighting box 21.

[0050] The lighting module 20 is actually composed of a lighting box 21 and multiple light strips 22 disposed inside the lighting box 21. Preferably, the two ends of the lighting box 21 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the housing 10, and the light strips 22 are composed of multiple LED beads 23.

[0051] When in operation, the light emitted by the LED beads 23 passes directly through the light-transmitting plate 24 and diffuses outward. It adopts a direct light-emitting system, which concentrates the light and provides good illumination uniformity. At the same time, it has less light loss and a longer service life.

[0052] Furthermore, the bottom of the lighting box 21 is also provided with multiple wire grooves 25. The wire grooves 25 facilitate a more reasonable routing of the wiring, make wiring easier to organize, and also facilitate subsequent maintenance and replacement of LED beads 23 or light strips 22.

[0053] Preferably, the heating module 30 includes a heating box 31, and the two ends of the heating box 31 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the housing 10 through brackets 32. The heating tube 33 is transversely inserted through the two ends of the heating box 31, and the glass plate 34 is fastened to the top of the heating box 31.

[0054] Furthermore, the heating box 31 is shaped like a shovel, and a mirrored aluminum plate 35 is provided along the arc-shaped inner wall of the heating box 31.

[0055] In this embodiment, a heating module 30 is preferably formed by the heating box 31 and the glass plate 34, and the heating tube 33 is inserted into the heating box 31. The infrared radiation emitted by the heating tube 33 is output towards the face of the heater, thereby realizing auxiliary heating.

[0056] The mirrored aluminum plate 35 reflects the infrared rays emitted by the heating element 33 onto the heater's surface, maximizing the amount of light reaching the human body. A gap exists between the mirrored aluminum plate 35 and the heating element 31 to reduce heat transfer to the heating element 31.

[0057] The preferred heating box 31 can be assembled from two or more curved plates, which facilitates manufacturing.

[0058] Further optimization involves arranging the heating box 31 in a shovel shape, with the mirrored aluminum plate 35 arranged along the arc-shaped inner wall of the heating box 31, also in an arc shape. This structure helps to reflect all the infrared rays emitted by the heating tube 33 towards the back of the heater (infrared rays within a 180-degree range of the back) to the front of the heater, greatly improving the infrared radiation efficiency and preventing heat loss.

[0059] The preferred heating box 31 is fixed to both sides of the housing 10 via the bracket 32 ​​to ensure a stable connection between the heating box 31 and the housing 10. At the same time, the structural barrier reduces the impact of the internal temperature of the heating box 31 on the housing 10.

[0060] Preferably, at least one temperature controller 36 is connected to the outer wall of the heating box 31. In this embodiment, it is more preferable to provide two temperature controllers 36 on the outside of the heating box 31 to regulate the temperature of the heating box 31 and prevent the heating box 31 (the entire heater) from overheating.

[0061] Furthermore, the housing 10 includes a base plate 11 and various side plates 12 surrounding the base plate 11. Each side plate 12 is recessed to form a stepped surface, and a plurality of mounting holes 121 are provided along the stepped surface.

[0062] Preferably, the stepped surface portion protrudes upward to form a protrusion 122, and each protrusion 122 is provided with a screw 14, which is downward and movably connected to a pressure plate 15.

[0063] The housing 10 is actually formed by the bottom plate 11 and each side plate 12. Preferably, each side plate 12 is recessed to form a stepped surface. Each stepped surface is flush with the bottom plate. Along the stepped surface, multiple mounting holes 121 and protrusions 122 are provided at intervals.

[0064] Preferably, a screw 14 is inserted through the protrusion 122 and a pressure plate 15 is connected thereto. The pressure plate 15 can rotate around the screw 14. When the heater is installed on the ceiling, the pressure plate 15 is rotated so that it is pressed against the ceiling joists, thereby improving the stability of the heater installation.

[0065] Furthermore, multiple heat dissipation slots 16 are provided around each side plate 12. The heat dissipation slots 16 facilitate overall heat dissipation of the housing 10 and prevent the internal temperature of the housing 10 from becoming too high and affecting the structure of other components.

[0066] Preferably, the upper cover 50 includes a support frame 51 and a metal plate 52 covering the support frame 51. The support frame 51 is fastened to each side plate 12. The support frame 51 is rectangular and a support bar 53 is provided across the middle of the support frame 51. The support bar 53 divides the support frame 51 into two first square holes 511. The metal plate 52 has two second square holes 521 that correspond one-to-one with the two first square holes 511.

[0067] In this embodiment, the preferred upper cover 50 is composed of a support frame 51 and a metal panel. The support frame 51 is actually located between the metal panel and the housing 10. The support frame 51 increases the height of the space between the metal panel and the housing 10, facilitating the entry of indoor air into the heater's interior (accommodation cavity 13). The metal panel 52 provided here has a good texture, can withstand high temperatures, and prevents aging. The heat generated by the heater will not affect the product's appearance.

[0068] The support bar 53 is designed to enhance the overall structural strength and stability of the support frame 51. On the other hand, it divides the support frame 51 into two first square holes 511, which correspond to the lighting module 20 and the heating module 30, respectively. Preferably, the metal plate 52 has two second square holes 521 that correspond one-to-one with the two first square holes 511. The corresponding first square holes 511 and second square holes 521 form the square groove mentioned above.

[0069] It is worth mentioning that the second square hole 521 is smaller than the first square hole 511. This arrangement allows the metal plate 52 to completely cover the support frame 51, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0070] The support bar 53 has multiple bent strips on one side, which enhances its structural strength and further ensures the overall stability of the support frame 51. Of course, in actual use, the support frame 51 and the support bar 53 can also be manufactured as a whole; this is not a limitation here.

[0071] Furthermore, multiple hooks 54 are fixed on both sides of the support frame 51, and each hook 54 is fitted with a torsion spring 55. In this embodiment, it is preferable to provide hooks 54 on both sides of the support frame 51 to facilitate the installation of torsion springs 55, and when the support frame 51 is fastened to each side plate 12, each torsion spring 55 passes into the corresponding mounting hole 121.

[0072] The specific number of hooks 54 and torsion springs 55 here is determined based on the actual specifications and dimensions of the heater, and is not limited here. The number of mounting holes 121 can also be set according to actual needs, as long as it is no less than the number of torsion springs 55.

[0073] Preferably, the bottom of the housing 10 is also covered by a bottom shell 60, and the motor 41 is located between the bottom plate 11 and the bottom shell 60. Multiple heat dissipation holes 61 are provided on the outside of the bottom shell 60 near the motor 41, and each heat dissipation hole 61 rotates and diverges around the axis of the motor 41.

[0074] It is worth mentioning that this utility model actually sets a bottom shell 60 at the bottom of the shell 10 structure. The aforementioned spiral air duct 17 is formed by the bottom plate 11 of the shell 10 and the bottom shell 60, and the motor 41 is actually located between the bottom plate 11 and the bottom shell 60. This structural design facilitates manufacturing, makes assembly convenient, and is easy to disassemble and maintain.

[0075] The main unit 43, which actually controls the heater, is also installed between the base plate 11 and the bottom shell 60. This structural arrangement keeps the main unit 43 away from other structures, avoiding interference from the heating module 30. The base plate 11 has multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 111, which facilitates the arrangement and organization of electrical wires during actual use.

[0076] The bottom shell 60 has heat dissipation holes 61 near the motor 41 to facilitate heat dissipation of the motor 41. Each heat dissipation hole 61 rotates around the axis of the motor 41 and disperses, which is conducive to uniform heat dissipation of the motor 41.

[0077] Furthermore, multiple first reinforcing ribs 621 are fixed around the aforementioned heat dissipation hole 61, and multiple second reinforcing ribs 622 of varying lengths are passed through each of the first reinforcing ribs 621.

[0078] In this embodiment, a first reinforcing rib 621 and a second reinforcing rib 622 are preferably provided on the bottom shell 60, and each second reinforcing rib 622 passes through each ring of the first reinforcing rib 621, which further improves the structural strength of the bottom shell 60 and also increases the aesthetic appeal of the design.

[0079] Preferably, a junction box 63 is also provided on one side of the outer side of the bottom shell 60. The junction box 63 facilitates the connection of wiring or the disassembly and maintenance of wiring. When in use, the junction box 63 can be opened directly on the outside of the bottom shell 60 without having to open the bottom shell 60 or even the entire heater.

[0080] This dual-module heater has a reasonable structure. By setting the lighting module 20 and the heating module 30 side by side, the lighting and heating structures are separated, which avoids the lighting module 20 structure being affected by temperature, thereby improving its service life. At the same time, the heating module 30 adopts the infrared heating principle, and the mirrored aluminum plate 35 can maximize the heat dissipation towards the front of the heater, improving heating efficiency.

[0081] The embodiments described herein are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described, or substitutions made by those skilled in the art, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
