Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom heater technology, and more specifically, it relates to a novel bathroom heater panel. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional bathroom heater panels typically have fixed air outlet grilles or louvers for guiding hot air or ventilation.

[0003] However, this fixed design has the following main problems: First, when the bathroom heater is not working, the air outlet is directly exposed, which easily accumulates dust and scale, affecting the overall aesthetics and hygiene of the bathroom; Second, although some bathroom heaters are equipped with movable baffles, they mostly use simple hinge or sliding rail structures to open and close manually, which is inconvenient to operate.

[0004] Furthermore, existing movable baffle structures are typically quite complex, increasing manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bathroom heater panel solution that can effectively conceal the air outlet to improve aesthetics and dust protection, while also achieving stable, reliable, and automated opening and closing, and is simple in structure and low in cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a new type of bathroom heater panel to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel bathroom heater panel, comprising a panel body, a baffle plate, a drive motor, and a linkage mechanism, wherein the panel body has an air outlet, the baffle plate is rotatably installed at the air outlet to block the air outlet, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the baffle plate through the linkage mechanism to drive the baffle plate to rotate and open at the air outlet, that is, rotate by a corresponding angle to expose the air outlet and form an air outlet duct.

[0007] The linkage mechanism includes a drive gear and a linkage gear that mesh with each other. The drive gear is fixed outside the output shaft of the drive motor, and the linkage gear is connected to the baffle plate. A coaxial connecting shaft is fixed on the linkage gear. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the panel body. When the linkage gear rotates, it drives the baffle plate to rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft. The linkage gear is a sector gear, and the included angle between the two sides of the sector is less than 180 degrees.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when air is not needed, the baffle covers the air outlet, improving the overall aesthetics. When air is needed, the baffle is rotated by the drive motor and linkage mechanism to expose the air outlet and form an air duct, making it convenient to use.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a limiting plug is fixed at one end of the linkage gear, a connecting frame is fixed on the baffle plate, and the connecting frame has a limiting cavity for the limiting plug to be inserted. The limiting plug and the limiting cavity cooperate to realize the connection between the linkage gear and the baffle plate.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a through groove is provided on the limiting insert, an elastic sheet is fixed in the through groove, the side of the elastic sheet away from the baffle plate has a protrusion, and a limiting groove is provided on the connecting frame at the position corresponding to the protrusion for the protrusion to extend into.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that there are two sets of drive motors and linkage mechanisms, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air outlet, and the linkage gears in the two sets of linkage mechanisms are respectively connected to the two sides of the baffle through limiting blocks and connecting frames.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a mounting bracket is fixed on one side of the panel body, and the drive motor is fixed inside the mounting bracket.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a shield is fixedly installed on the panel body, and an accommodating space is formed between the shield and the panel body, and the drive motor, linkage mechanism and mounting bracket are placed in the accommodating space.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a novel bathroom heater panel, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. When the bathroom heater is not in operation, the baffle can completely cover the air outlet, effectively improving the overall appearance and aesthetics of the panel, while significantly preventing dust and moisture from entering the internal air duct and mechanical structure, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0016] 2. The power transmission between the baffle and the drive mechanism mainly relies on meshing drive gears and sector gears, resulting in a clear and direct transmission path and a simple and compact structure. Compared to complex linkage or slide rail mechanisms, this significantly reduces manufacturing costs and subsequent maintenance difficulties and costs.

[0017] 3. By using a limiting insert block and a connecting frame with a limiting cavity, and supplemented by a snap-fit ​​structure between the elastic plate protrusion and the limiting groove, a quick and secure connection between the linkage gear and the baffle plate is achieved, making installation convenient and fast.

[0028] A novel bathroom heater panel includes a panel body 1, a baffle plate 3, a drive motor 4, and a linkage mechanism 5. The panel body 1 has an air outlet 2. The baffle plate 3 is rotatably mounted at the air outlet 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 4 is connected to the baffle plate 3 via the linkage mechanism 5, which drives the baffle plate 3 to rotate and open at the air outlet 2, i.e., rotates by a corresponding angle to expose the air outlet 2, forming an air duct. The linkage mechanism 5 includes a meshing drive gear 501 and a linkage gear 502. The drive gear 501 is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 4, and the linkage gear 502 is connected to the baffle plate 3. A coaxial connecting shaft 503 is fixed on the linkage gear 502. The connecting shaft 503 is connected to the panel body 1. The main body 1 is rotatably connected. When the linkage gear 502 rotates, it drives the baffle 3 to rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 503. The linkage gear 502 is a sector gear, and the included angle between the two sides of the sector is less than 180 degrees. The drive motor 4 and the linkage mechanism 5 are both provided in two sets, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air outlet 2. The linkage gear 502 in the two sets of linkage mechanisms 5 are respectively connected to the two sides of the baffle 3 through the limiting plug 6 and the connecting frame 7. A mounting frame 8 is fixed on one side of the panel main body 1. The drive motor 4 is fixed in the mounting frame 8. A baffle 9 is fixedly installed on the panel main body 1. A receiving space is formed between the baffle 9 and the panel main body 1. The drive motor 4, the linkage mechanism 5 and the mounting frame 8 are placed in the receiving space.

[0029] In practical applications, the linkage gear 502 is connected and fixed to the baffle plate 3, and the connecting shaft 503 on the linkage gear 502 is rotatably mounted on the panel body 1. The drive motor 4 is fixed on the mounting bracket 8, and the mounting bracket 8 is fixed on the panel body 1. The drive gear 501 is fixedly sleeved outside the output shaft of the drive motor 4, and the drive gear 501 meshes with the linkage gear 502 to achieve linkage between the drive motor 4 and the baffle plate 3. When it is necessary to expose the air outlet 2 to form an air outlet duct, the drive motor 4 is started, which drives the drive gear 501 to rotate. Through meshing, the linkage gear 502 rotates around the connecting shaft 503, and finally drives the baffle plate 3 to rotate around the connecting shaft 503 to open. When the air outlet duct is not needed, the drive motor 4 runs in reverse, driving the baffle plate 3 to rotate and close, thus blocking the air outlet 2 and improving the overall aesthetics.

[0030] In this embodiment, a limiting insert 6 is fixed to one end of the linkage gear 502, a connecting frame 7 is fixed on the baffle plate 3, the connecting frame 7 has a limiting cavity for the limiting insert 6 to be inserted, the limiting insert 6 has a through groove 601, an elastic piece 602 is fixed in the through groove 601, the elastic piece 602 has a protrusion 603 on the side away from the baffle plate 3, and a limiting groove 701 is provided on the connecting frame 7 at the position corresponding to the protrusion 603 for the protrusion 603 to extend into.

[0031] In actual use, the limiting plug 6 is inserted into the limiting cavity of the connecting frame 7. During this process, the protrusion 603 abuts against the inner wall of the limiting cavity, forcing the elastic sheet 602 to undergo elastic deformation, so that the limiting plug 6 can be smoothly inserted into the limiting cavity. Until the protrusion 603 corresponds to the limiting groove 701, the protrusion 603 loses the squeezing force, and the elastic sheet 602 returns to its original shape, causing the protrusion 603 to be engaged in the limiting groove 701, thus realizing the connection and fixation between the limiting plug 6 and the connecting frame 7. The limiting plug 6 and the inner wall of the limiting cavity of the connecting frame 7 are in contact, thus realizing the limiting connection.

[0032] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0033] In all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the operation of electrical components, unless otherwise specified, are controlled by a controller. Since the devices matched with the controllers are common devices, their control principles and circuit connections are existing, well-known, and mature technologies, their electrical connections and specific circuit structures will not be elaborated here.
