[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0029] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.
[0030] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure.

Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.
[0031] To address the technical problem of insufficient convenience in transporting existing electric heaters, this application provides a device and electric heater that facilitates transport. By incorporating a first anti-slip element on the top cover and a handle on the casing, the electric heater can be easily transported with one hand by placing the thumb on the first anti-slip element on the top cover and gripping the handle with the other four fingers. This method is ergonomic, allowing for a more natural fit between the palm and the hand, while increasing friction, reducing the risk of slippage, and improving safety. This significantly enhances the user's grip comfort, safety, and convenience when transporting the electric heater.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a device that is easy to transport, comprising: a housing 1, on which at least one handle assembly 2 is provided; and a top cover 3, which is installed on the top of the housing 1, and the surface of the top cover 3 is provided with a first anti-slip member 31, which is perpendicular to the handle assembly 2 and the two are spaced apart.
[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, at least one embedded handle assembly 2 is installed on both sides or the back of the housing 1 for manual gripping and handling. A first anti-slip member 31 is provided on the surface of the upper cover 3 by molding or adhesive bonding. The extension direction of the first anti-slip member 31 is perpendicular to the length direction of the handle assembly 2, and the two are spatially spaced between the surface of the upper cover 3 and the surface of the housing 1. With this arrangement, during handling, the user can easily carry the electric heater with one hand by placing their thumb on the first anti-slip member 31 of the upper cover 3 and gripping the handle assembly 2 with the other four fingers. The perpendicular distribution of the first anti-slip member 31 and the handle assembly 2 can distribute hand pressure during handling, reducing the risk of accidental slippage.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the surface of the housing 1 is provided with a groove 11, and the handle assembly 2 is embedded in the groove 11 and is adapted to the shape of the groove 11.
[0035] Specifically, a groove 11 is formed on the outer surface of the housing 1. The depth of the groove 11 matches the thickness of the handle assembly 2, and its outline is rectangular (or curved, irregular, or other structures, depending on the actual situation), consistent with the edge shape of the handle assembly 2. The handle assembly 2 is embedded in the groove 11 by sliding insertion, snap-fit, or screw fixing, ensuring that its outer surface is flush with or slightly recessed from the surface of the housing 1 to avoid external collisions. The groove 11 design makes the handle assembly 2 and the surface of the housing 1 form an integrated structure, reducing the overall size of the equipment and avoiding the risk of bumps caused by the handle protruding during handling. The embedded handle maintains the gripping function while simplifying the shape of the equipment, facilitating one-handed operation or stacking storage.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the handle assembly 2 includes a handle body 21, which is a frame with an opening. The opening of the handle body 21 is parallel to the surface of the housing 1 on which it is located.
[0037] Specifically, the handle body 21 is a rigid frame with its opening side parallel to the outer surface of the housing 1, forming a gripping space where fingers can be inserted. The frame structure with the opening parallel to the surface of the housing 1 provides a natural space for accommodating fingers, avoiding direct friction between the hand and the surface of the housing 1 when gripping.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, a second anti-slip element 211 is provided inside the handle body 21, and the second anti-slip element 211 is located on the top inner wall of the handle body 21.
[0039] Specifically, the second anti-slip component 211 is fixed to the top inner wall of the handle body 21 by means of gluing, embedding, or molding. Its material can be rubber, silicone, or textured hard plastic. The shape of the second anti-slip component 211 matches the curvature or plane of the inner wall of the handle body 21, for example, it can be strip-shaped, granular, or wavy, covering all or part of the top inner wall area. When the fingers grip, the second anti-slip component 211 directly contacts the point of force application of the hand, increasing friction and preventing the hand from slipping off the handle opening.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the distance between the handle body 21 and the first anti-slip component 31 is 40mm-60mm.
[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the size range of an adult user's palm is collected, where 40mm is the preset minimum length of an adult's palm and 60mm is the preset maximum length of an adult's palm. This method closely matches the natural span of the user's hand when holding the object during transport, conforms to ergonomics, and improves operational comfort and transport stability.
[0042] like Figure 1-3 As shown, both the first anti-slip component 31 and the second anti-slip component 211 have several regularly arranged raised stripes.
[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first anti-slip component 31 and the second anti-slip component 211 are composed of equally spaced, parallel raised stripes. The stripe cross-section is semi-circular, triangular, or trapezoidal, and they are formed on the surface of the anti-slip component through molding, injection molding, or engraving processes. The raised stripes extend on the surface of the anti-slip component in a straight line, wavy shape, or serrated shape, and the stripe direction forms an angle with the direction of force applied when the hand grips, so as to enhance the frictional resistance.
[0044] In this embodiment, the handle body 21 and the groove 11 are connected by a snap-fit.
[0045] Specifically, the inner wall of the groove 11 is provided with slots or protrusions, and the corresponding handle body 21 has elastic buckles (such as hooks, protrusions, or barbs) on both sides or bottom. By pressing and deforming, the buckles are locked and fixed with the slots in the groove 11. Align the handle body 21 with the groove 11 and apply pressure to deform the elastic buckles until they are fully embedded in the corresponding slots in the groove 11, achieving tool-free quick assembly. The buckle connection does not require bolts or welding, simplifying the installation or disassembly process of the handle assembly 2 and facilitating later maintenance or replacement.
[0046] In some other embodiments, the handle assembly 2 may be disposed separately on the back or side of the housing 1, or symmetrically disposed on both sides of the housing 1.
[0047] Specifically, the handle assembly 2 can be detachably or fixedly installed at a single position on the back or side of the housing 1, or simultaneously symmetrically installed at corresponding positions on both sides of the housing 1. When set on both sides of the housing 1, the two handle assemblies 2 are mirror-symmetrically distributed with respect to the central axis of the housing 1, and have identical structural dimensions. Individually setting them on the back or side can meet the needs of different handling directions (such as vertical lifting or horizontal lifting), while symmetrically setting them on both sides facilitates balanced handling with both hands. The symmetrical double handle design distributes the weight of the equipment to the hands, reducing the risk of tilting caused by applying force on one side.
[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the device, which is easy to move, also includes a support base 4, which is located at the bottom of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the housing 1.
[0049] Specifically, the support base 4 increases the contact area between the housing 1 and the contact surface (such as the ground or tabletop), reducing the risk of the equipment tipping over or sliding. At the same time, the base forms a physical isolation between the bottom of the housing 1 and the bottom, preventing damage caused by direct friction, bumps, or liquid immersion.
[0050] Please see Figure 4 This application also provides an electric heater, including a portable device as described in the first aspect, wherein a heating element 5 is provided inside the housing 1 and a heat dissipation grille 6 is provided outside the heating element 5.
[0051] Specifically, the heating element 5 (such as an electric heating tube, PTC ceramic, etc.) is installed inside the housing 1 via a fixing bracket or slot, and is spaced from the inner wall of the housing 1 to form a heat dissipation channel. The heat dissipation grille 6 is made of metal or high-temperature resistant plastic, and multiple parallel or staggered ventilation holes are formed by stamping or injection molding processes. It covers the front of the housing 1 and isolates the heat-generating area of the heating element 5. The heat dissipation grille 6 forms a directional ventilation path on the surface of the housing 1, accelerating the outward diffusion of heat generated by the heating element 5. At the same time, its physical isolation function prevents users from directly contacting the high-temperature heating element 5, reducing the risk of burns.
