[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a heater 100, which includes a main unit 1, rollers 2 and a support 3.

[0041] The main unit 1, as the main body of the heater 100, is capable of generating heat and radiating it to the environment to provide heating for the user. The main unit 1 includes a housing 11, a heating element, a fan, a display screen, a sensor, and a controller. The heating element and fan are housed inside the housing 11, while the display screen is located on the outside of the housing 11. The sensor can be located either inside or outside the housing 11. The heating element, fan, display screen, and sensor are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0042] The shape of the housing 11 can be, but is not limited to, a cube, a cuboid, a cylinder, or a frustum. In this embodiment, a cuboid is used as an example. The housing 11 has a length direction X and a thickness direction Y. The main unit has a length direction, which is also the length direction X of the housing 11. The main unit also has a first sidewall 111 and a second sidewall 112 arranged at an angle, that is, the exterior of the housing 11 has a first sidewall 111 and a second sidewall 112 arranged at an angle. The material of the housing 11 can be, but is not limited to, at least one of metal and plastic. In this embodiment, the shape and material of the housing 11 are not specifically limited. The housing 11 has a receiving cavity and a heat radiation port 113. The heat radiation port 113 is located on the sidewall of the housing 11 opposite to the second sidewall 112. The heat radiation port 113 communicates with the receiving cavity and can be elongated. The housing 11 also has an air inlet 115 that communicates with the receiving cavity and the heat radiation port 113. The air inlet 115 is formed on the second side wall 112 and can be elongated.

[0043] The area of ​​the housing 11 corresponding to the controller or electronic components has a mesh structure. Whether the heater 100 is in the first state or the second state, when the heater 100 is controlled by the remote control, signal interference can be reduced, ensuring that the remote control operation of the heater 100 is effective.

[0044] The heating element is disposed within the housing cavity, located between the air inlet 115 and the heat radiation port 113, and can be situated on either the air outlet or inlet path of the fan. Thus, after generating heat, the heating element radiates it through the heat radiation port 113 to the user environment, providing heating to both the user and the user. Exemplarily, the heating element may include a heating element and fins. The heat generated by the heating element is transferred to the fins, and heat exchange is achieved through the contact between the fins and the air. The heating element may be, but is not limited to, a carbon fiber heating element, a halogen heating element, a quartz tube heating element, a metal tube heating element, or an electric heating wire heating element. In this embodiment, the specific form of the heating element is not limited.

[0045] The fan and heating element are spaced apart within the housing cavity. The fan can be a cross-flow fan, axial flow fan, etc., and this embodiment is not limited to this. This arrangement forces the air around the heater 100 to circulate, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency between the air and the heating element, enhancing the heating effect. Furthermore, users can adjust the fan speed according to their actual needs, achieving precise temperature control of the heater 100 to the ambient environment, greatly improving the flexibility of using the heater. Of course, this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the main unit 1 may not include a fan, allowing heat exchange between the air and the heating element to occur through natural convection.

[0046] The display can show specific operating parameters of the heater 100, such as fan speed, temperature, and whether it is upright or lying down. When the heater 100 is in a first state, the sensor outputs a first operating signal, and the controller controls the display to show a first display interface based on the first operating signal. When the heater 100 is in a second state, the sensor outputs a second operating signal, and the controller controls the display to show a second display interface based on the second operating signal.

[0047] For example, when the casing 11 is rectangular, in the first state of the heater 100, the main unit 1 is placed vertically. Therefore, the text of the parameters displayed on the first display interface is displayed facing the user, and the display interface is adaptively adjusted for easy viewing. In the second state of the heater 100, the main unit 1 is placed horizontally. Therefore, the text of the parameters displayed on the second display interface is adaptively displayed facing the user. That is, the display interface is adjusted according to the placement of the heater 100 to facilitate viewing. Therefore, there is no need to turn one's head or other means to view the content displayed on the display interface, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0048] The sensor is used to detect the placement status of the heater 100. The sensor includes at least one of the following: tilt switch, temperature sensor, acceleration sensor, gyroscope and angular velocity sensor. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the type of sensor.

[0049] The tilt switch can include mechanical tilt switches and photoelectric tilt switches. For example, a mechanical tilt switch can include a gravity ball and a trigger switch. If the heater 100 changes state, the gravity ball will trigger the trigger switch under the action of gravity to generate a signal and output it to the controller.

[0050] The temperature sensor may include at least three temperature probes, which are arranged in different positions. For example, one probe is arranged at the heat radiation port 113, and the other two are arranged at intervals at the air inlet 115. Utilizing the principle that hot air automatically flows upward, that is, the temperature at the relatively higher position is higher than the temperature at the relatively lower position, the difference in temperature data detected in real time by the three temperature probes can be used to determine whether the heater 100 has switched states, or whether it is not in the first state or the second state at the same time. If it is determined that a state switch has occurred or that it is not in the first state or the second state at the same time, a signal will be generated and output to the controller.

[0051] The accelerometer can detect whether the acceleration of the host 1 changes significantly to determine whether the heater 100 has switched states or is not in the first state or the second state at the same time. If it is determined that the state has switched or is not in the first state or the second state at the same time, a signal will be generated and output to the controller.

[0052] The gyroscope can use the high-speed rotating gyroscope to measure the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the host 1, thereby determining whether the heater 100 has changed state, or whether it is not in the first state or the second state at the same time. If it is determined that the state has changed or that it is not in the first state or the second state at the same time, a signal will be generated and output to the controller.

[0053] The angular velocity sensor can directly measure the tilt angle of the main unit 1 to determine whether the heater 100 has switched states or is not in both the first and second states at the same time. If the tilt angle of the main unit 1 exceeds the preset angle range of the angular velocity sensor, the angular velocity sensor will determine that it has switched states or is not in both the first and second states at the same time, and will generate a signal and output it to the controller.

[0054] The controller is electrically connected to sensors, heating elements, and a fan, and is used to control at least one of the fan and heating elements to execute a corresponding operating mode based on the signals output by the sensors. Thus, by detecting changes through sensors, the controller can determine whether the heater 100 has changed state. If a state change is detected, the controller can further control the fan and heating elements to execute the corresponding operating mode, thereby effectively improving the intelligence level of the heater 100.

[0055] In some embodiments, the sensor outputs a first operating signal when the heater 100 is in a first state, and the controller controls the fan to execute a first operating mode according to the first operating signal. When the heater 100 is in a second state, the sensor outputs a second operating signal, and the controller controls the fan to execute a second operating mode according to the second operating signal.

[0056] It is understandable that when the heater 100 is in the first state, the heat radiation port 113 is horizontal, meaning that the hot air can blow directly onto the user's body. In order to take care of the user's physical needs, this embodiment can reduce the speed of the fan, that is, control the fan to execute the first working mode, so that the heater 100 blows out a gentler hot air through the lower speed of the fan.

[0057] When the heater 100 is in the second state, the heat radiation port 113 is oriented vertically upwards, meaning that the hot air can be blown towards higher areas of the environment, allowing the hot air to circulate better within the environment. In order to achieve rapid heating of the environment, this embodiment can increase the fan speed, that is, control the fan to execute the second working mode, so that the environment can be heated up quickly, and the user in the environment can quickly feel warmth and comfort.

[0058] In some embodiments, the sensor outputs a first operating signal when the heater 100 is in a first state, and the controller controls the heating element to perform a first operating mode according to the first operating signal. When the heater 100 is in a second operating state, the sensor outputs a second operating signal, and the controller controls the heating element to perform a second operating mode according to the second operating signal.

[0059] It is understandable that when the heater 100 is in the first state, the heat radiation port 113 is horizontal, meaning that the hot air can blow directly onto the user's body. In order to take care of the user's physical needs, this embodiment can reduce the power of the heating element, that is, control the heating element to execute the first working mode, so that the heater 1001 blows out a gentler hot air through the lower power of the heating element.

[0060] When the heater 100 is in the second state, the heat radiation port 113 is oriented vertically upwards, meaning that the hot air can be blown towards higher areas of the environment, allowing the hot air to circulate better within the environment. In order to achieve rapid heating of the environment, this embodiment can increase the power of the heating element, that is, control the heating element to execute the second working mode, so that the environment can be heated up quickly, and the user in the environment can quickly feel warmth and comfort.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The roller 2 is rotatably mounted on the main unit 1, or rotatably mounted on the housing 11, with the end of the roller 2 adjacent to the first side wall 111 along the length direction X.

[0062] The support member 3 is disposed on the main unit 1, that is, on the housing 11, and is spaced apart from the roller 2 along the length direction X. The heater 100 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first side wall 111 or the first side wall 111 and the roller 2 cooperate to support the main unit 1 on the support surface, and the first side wall 111 faces the support surface. In the second state, the roller 2 and the support member 3 cooperate to support the main unit 1 on the support surface, and the second side wall 112 faces the support surface.

[0063] Based on the above configuration, the heater 100 is in a first state through the first sidewall 111 or the first sidewall 111 in conjunction with the roller 2, and in a second state through the roller 2 in conjunction with the support member 3. This provides multiple ways to place the heater 100, allowing users to choose the appropriate usage state according to the actual scenario. In actual use, users can choose the air outlet direction of the heater 100 to be horizontal or vertical, to more considerately meet the user's urgent need for warmth, provide multiple possibilities for the needs of multiple users, improve the user experience, and thus better improve the performance of the heater 100.

[0064] In addition, the rollers 2 allow users to easily move the heater 100 without having to carry it, which is friendly to people with weak physical strength. Therefore, it can balance convenience and practicality and is suitable for families that need to frequently adjust the position or use it in multiple rooms.

[0065] It should be noted that the first state is the vertical placement state, and the second state is the horizontal placement state. Both the vertical and horizontal placement states can be in working condition; for example, the heater provides heating normally in the vertical placement state and in the horizontal placement state. Alternatively, one of the vertical and horizontal placement states can be in working condition, while the other state is the product's idle and stored state; for example, the horizontal placement state is in working condition, and the vertical placement state is the product's idle and stored state. In this embodiment, for ease of explanation, the first state of the heater 100 is the vertical placement state, that is, the heater 100 is placed upright on the supporting surface, and the vertical placement state is the product's idle and stored state; the second state of the heater 100 is the horizontal placement state, that is, the heater 100 is placed horizontally on the supporting surface, and the horizontal placement state is the working state. The supporting surface can be the ground, a table, or other flat surfaces in the indoor space used for placing the heater 100.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments of this application, to enable the heater 100 to have a first state, i.e., an upright state, the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the roller 2 is located at the corner between the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112. Along the length direction X, the edge of the roller 2 does not protrude from the first sidewall 111. The edge of the roller 2 is flush with the first sidewall 111, so that no additional support structure is needed. The heater 100 can be used in the first use state simply by using the first sidewall 111 as the bottom support of the main unit 1. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. The surface of the first sidewall 111 facing the support surface can be set as a plane or a curved surface. The middle area of ​​the curved surface is recessed towards the inside of the main unit 1, and the edge of the roller 2 does not protrude from the edge of the curved surface.

[0067] Since the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the roller 2 is located at the corner, the first and second use states of the heater 100 can be switched instantly with the roller 2 as the fulcrum. There is no need for complicated operation. The operation is simple and the switching is quick, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0068] In other embodiments, the edge of the roller 2 may protrude slightly beyond the first sidewall 111, such as by 1mm, 2mm, or 3mm. This allows the first sidewall 111 and the roller 2 to work together to support the main unit 1, thus providing multiple support methods for the heater 100 in the first use state.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, in order to enable the heater 100 to be used stably and reliably in the second usage state, a support member 3 is provided on the second side wall 112 along the length direction X, and is provided at the end of the second side wall 112 away from the first side wall 111. With this arrangement, the roller 2 and the support member 3 are located at both ends of the main unit 1, so that when the heater 100 is placed on the support surface, the heater 100 can be effectively prevented from tipping over, making the heater 100 more reliably and stably placed on the support surface.

[0070] In other embodiments, the support member 3 may also be located at the middle position of the main unit 1 along the length direction X, or in the area between the end of the main unit 1 away from the roller 2 and the middle position of the main unit 1.

[0071] When roller 2 and support member 3 cooperate to support host 1, the edge of roller 2 should protrude from the second sidewall 112 so that roller 2 can cooperate with support member 3 to jointly support host 1. There are two rollers 2. Host 1 has a thickness direction Y perpendicular to the length direction X. The two rollers 2 are respectively located on both sides of host 1 along the thickness direction Y. In this embodiment, the edges of both rollers 2 do not protrude from the first sidewall 111, but both protrude from the second sidewall 112. The two rollers 2 can be individually rotatably connected to host 1 via a convex shaft, or they can be connected by a long shaft passing through host 1.

[0072] Furthermore, the connection between the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112 is set as an arc-shaped transition surface, which is located between the two rollers 2. During the movement of the heater 100, the heater 100 is tilted and moved by the rollers 2. Since the radial dimension of the rollers 2 should not be too large, the connection between the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112 is an arc-shaped transition surface. This effectively avoids contact between the corner between the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112 and the supporting surface when the heater 100 is tilted, preventing jamming during movement. This makes moving the heater 100 smoother and more convenient.

[0073] In other embodiments, two rollers 2 are connected by a long shaft. The two rollers 2 are disposed on the second side wall 112, and the edges of the two rollers 2 do not protrude from the first side wall 111. The two rollers 2 and the support member 3 are disposed on the same side, and the two rollers 2 and the support member 3 cooperate to support the host 1.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, a handle 114 is provided at the end of the main unit 1 away from the roller 2 along the length direction X, that is, a handle 114 is provided on the housing 11. During the movement of the heater 100, the handle can provide the user with a clear point of force application, so as to facilitate the handling and movement of the heater 100 and achieve easy transport.

[0075] In this configuration, along the width direction Z of the main unit 1, the handle 114 and the roller 2 are located on the same side of the main unit 1. When the handle 114 and the roller 2 can be located on the same side, the handle 114 does not protrude from the second side wall 112. Alternatively, along the width direction Z of the main unit 1, the handle 114 and the roller 2 are located on different sides of the main unit 1. Alternatively, along the width direction Z of the main unit 1, handles 114 are provided on opposite sides of the main unit 1.

[0076] The handle 114 is located on the top of the main unit 1, or it is inclined along the direction of the heat radiation port 113. There are several ways to set the handle 114, which will not be described in detail here.

[0077] In some embodiments, the support member 3 is fixedly disposed on the second side wall 112, for example by screw fixing, integral injection molding, bonding or welding, etc. The support member 3 is a support frame, such as a T-shaped or V-shaped bracket, or other structural member of any shape that can achieve support on the support surface, without specific limitation.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 4 to 9 In some embodiments of this application, the support member 3 is movably connected to the second sidewall 112, and the support member 3 has a supporting state that is extended relative to the second sidewall 112 and a receiving state that is close to the second sidewall 112. With this configuration, since the support member 3 is movable, the position of the support member 3 can be flexibly adjusted to better support the host 1 with the roller 2, thus increasing the flexibility of supporting the host 1 and improving its performance.

[0079] For example, the support member 3 can be telescopically mounted on the second side wall 112. The support member 3 can extend out of the main unit 1 or into the main unit 1 relative to the second side wall 112. Therefore, the support member 3 can be configured as a telescopic rod structure. The second side wall 112 is provided with a through hole that allows the support member 3 to pass through. The type of telescopic rod structure is not specifically limited here.

[0080] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the support member 3 is rotatably connected to the second sidewall 112. That is, the support member 3 rotates relative to the second sidewall 112, and the support member 3 can unfold away from the second sidewall 112 or move closer to the second sidewall 112. The support member 3 has a folding and storage function, so that when the heater 100 is in the first use state, the support member 3 can be folded and stored. This not only reduces the size of the main unit 1 to a certain extent, but also makes the heater 100 look neat and tidy, and helps to improve the user's comfort, balancing the product's functionality and space adaptability.

[0081] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the second sidewall 112 is provided with a receiving groove 1121, the receiving groove 1121 is provided with a first connecting part 1122, and the support member 3 has a second connecting part 311 rotatably connected to the first connecting part 1122; wherein, the support member 3 extends out of the receiving groove 1121 in the supported state and is stored in the receiving groove 1121 in the receiving state.

[0082] With this configuration, the support component 3 can be accommodated through the receiving slot 1121, allowing the support component 3 to be stored away when not in use. This provides a good concealment function, making the overall appearance of the main unit 1 aesthetically pleasing and neat, and helping to improve the user experience.

[0083] Specifically, the first connecting portion 1122 is a connecting groove or a protruding shaft formed on the two opposing walls of the receiving groove 1121, and the second connecting portion 311 is a connecting groove or a protruding shaft formed on the two opposite outer walls of the support member 3. When the first connecting portion 1122 is either a connecting groove or a protruding shaft, the second connecting portion 311 is the other of the connecting groove and the protruding shaft. In the embodiment of this application, the first connecting portion 1122 is a connecting groove, and the second connecting portion 311 is a protruding shaft.

[0084] In some embodiments of this application, a first limiting part 1123 is provided in the receiving groove 1121, and the support member 3 has a second limiting part that cooperates with the first limiting part 1123, so that the support member 3 is kept in a supporting state or a receiving state. For example, the first limiting part 1123 is two first protrusions formed on the groove wall of the receiving groove 1121, and the two first protrusions are respectively located on both sides of the central axis of the first connecting part 1122. The second limiting part 312 is a second protrusion formed on the outer side wall of the support member 3. When the second protrusion is engaged with one of the two first protrusions by elastic deformation along the rotation direction of the support member 3, it restricts the rotation of the support member 3 along the rotation direction, so that the support member 3 is kept in a receiving state or an unfolded state. This ensures that the support member 3 effectively prevents the support member 3 from shaking when it is unfolded and supported, so that the support member 3 stably supports the main unit 1 and ensures that the support member 3 can be stably received in the receiving groove 1121, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the heater 100.

[0085] In other embodiments, there are various ways to limit the position of the support member 3 in the receiving groove 1121, such as by damping, grooves and balls, or by magnetic limiting, so that the position of the support member 3 can be limited when it is unfolded and received, so as to fix the position of the support member 3.

[0086] Please continue to refer to Figures 4 to 9 In some embodiments of this application, the support member 3 includes two connecting bodies 31 and a support body 32 connected between the two connecting bodies 31. The support body 32 is used to contact the support surface. The ends of the two connecting bodies 31 away from the support body 32 are respectively rotatably connected to the two opposite walls of the receiving groove 1121. A second connecting portion 311 and a second limiting portion 312 are formed on the connecting bodies 31. The surface of the support body 32 that supports the support surface can be configured as a supporting inclined surface or a supporting plane.

[0087] Specifically, the two connecting bodies 31 are spaced apart along the thickness direction Y. The receiving groove 1121 has connecting grooves on its two opposite walls. A convex shaft is provided on the side of the connecting body 31 facing the opposite wall of the receiving groove 1121, extending into the connecting groove to achieve a rotatable connection between the connecting body 31 and the wall of the receiving groove 1121. The wall of the receiving groove 1121 opposite to the connecting body 31 also has two first protrusions, which are respectively located on both sides of the central axis of the connecting groove along the length direction X. A second protrusion is also provided on the side of the connecting body 31 facing the opposite wall of the receiving groove 1121. When the support member 3 is in the supported state, the second protrusion engages with one of the two first protrusions furthest from the roller 2 through elastic deformation, thus restricting the support member 3 to the position of the supporting host 1. When the support member 3 is in the receiving state, the second protrusion engages with one of the two first protrusions closest to the roller 2 through elastic deformation to restrict the support member 3 within the receiving groove 1121.

[0088] In other embodiments, the end of the connector 31 away from the support 32 can be hinged to the groove wall of the receiving groove 1121 opposite to the support 32, allowing the support 32 to unfold or close to the second side wall 112. The hinge can be a damping hinge, eliminating the need for a limiting structure to restrict the position of the support 3, resulting in a simpler structure and space-saving design.

[0089] In some embodiments of this application, the support member 3 further includes a reinforcing member 33 connecting the two connecting bodies 31 and the support body 32. The reinforcing member 33 can enhance the structural strength of the support member 3, enabling the support member 3 to stably support the host 1, improving the stability and reliability of the host 1, and also helping to extend the service life of the support member 3.

[0090] The two connecting bodies 31, the support body 32, and the reinforcing body 33 can be integrally formed.

[0091] In some embodiments of this application, at least one of the support body 32 and the two connecting bodies 31 is provided with a handle 321. For example, if a handle 321 is provided on the inner sidewall of the support body 32, the handle 321 serves to prevent slipping and slipping. During the unfolding of the support member 3, the user can easily operate the support member 3 through the handle 321, thereby improving the user's operating feel.

[0092] This application provides a heater, which includes a main unit, a supporting structure, and a supporting member. The main unit has a length direction and a first sidewall and a second sidewall arranged at an angle; the supporting structure is disposed on the main unit and is located at one end of the main unit adjacent to the first sidewall along the length direction; the supporting member is disposed on the main unit and is spaced apart from the supporting structure along the length direction. The heater has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first sidewall and the supporting structure cooperate to support the main unit on a supporting surface, and the first sidewall faces the supporting surface; in the second state, the supporting structure and the supporting member cooperate to support the main unit on the supporting surface, and the second sidewall faces the supporting surface.

[0093] Furthermore, there are various types of support structures, such as T-shaped or V-shaped brackets, or other structural components of any shape that can achieve support on the support surface, which will not be listed here.

[0094] Based on the above scheme, the heater 100 is in a first state through the cooperation of the first side wall 111 and the support structure, and in a second state through the cooperation of the support structure and the support member 3. This provides multiple ways to place the heater 100, allowing users to choose the appropriate usage state according to the actual scenario. In actual use, users can choose the air outlet direction of the heater 100 to be horizontal or vertical, so as to more considerately meet the user's urgent need for heating, provide multiple possibilities for the use needs of multiple users, improve the user experience, and thus better improve the performance of the heater 100.
