Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heater technology, and more specifically, to a heater with a drying function. Background Technology

[0002] Fan heaters are common heating devices in winter, quickly generating hot air through electric heating wires or PTC ceramic heating elements to rapidly raise the room temperature. They are compact, easy to move, and suitable for localized heating, such as in studies, bedrooms, or offices. Modern fan heaters often have safety features such as overheat protection and tip-over power-off functions. Some models also support multiple temperature settings, oscillating airflow, and quiet operation, balancing comfort and energy efficiency.

[0003] Existing heaters have relatively simple functions, mainly used for indoor heating in winter, generating warm air through electric heating elements to raise the ambient temperature.

[0004] However, during the rainy winters in the south or the transitional heating season in the north, high humidity and low temperatures often make it difficult for washed clothes to dry naturally. As a result, many users temporarily use a space heater as a drying tool, holding the clothes close to the air outlet to dry them.

[0005] This method is not only inefficient but also requires continuous manual operation, which is physically demanding and difficult to maintain for extended periods. Furthermore, traditional designs of space heaters lack optimization for drying scenarios, lacking dedicated clothing racks, thus affecting performance. This primitive method is both labor-intensive and fails to guarantee even drying, exposing the significant limitations of ordinary space heaters in multi-functional applications.

The limit block is slidably engaged with the limit groove, and the top end of the limit block is connected to the connecting rope and the bottom end is connected to the spring. In this way, the connecting rope can be automatically stored when not in use, reducing the space occupied. The limit block can limit the maximum pull-out length of the connecting rope, improving the stability of use.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a telescopic hole is provided at the top of the support frame, the telescopic hole is connected to the storage groove, the connecting rope slides through the telescopic hole and is connected to the limiting block, so as to realize the smooth sliding out of the connecting rope.

[0013] The present invention is further provided with a retaining edge on the outer side of the mounting groove, the retaining edge being used to limit the movement of the mounting seat and prevent the mounting seat from detaching from the mounting groove.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that a locking pin is threaded on the side wall of the base, and a locking groove is provided on the mounting seat. The inner end of the locking pin can be inserted into the locking groove, and the outer end is provided with a locking knob. After the mounting seat is removed, the locking knob is tightened, so that the locking pin moves into the locking groove, thereby locking and fixing the mounting seat in the mounting groove.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the movable adjustment structure includes a fixed frame, the fixed frame is mounted on a base, a ball screw is mounted on the fixed frame, a screw nut is mounted on the ball screw, a screw motor is mounted on the fixed frame, and the screw motor is connected to the ball screw in a transmission connection.

[0016] The present invention is further provided that a telescopic protective cover is provided between the ball screw nut and the fixed frame. The telescopic protective cover is sleeved on the outside of the ball screw, and the telescopic protective cover can enhance the dust protection effect of the ball screw during operation.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that two sets of hinge frames are symmetrically arranged at the outer end of the mounting base, and a hinge shaft is arranged between the two sets of hinge frames.

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a warm air blower with a drying function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This utility model, through innovative structural design, organically combines a heater with a drying function, effectively solving the problem of the single function of traditional heaters. While retaining the original heating function, it adds a retractable support frame, an automatically retractable connecting rope, and a mobile drying system. Users can easily switch between heating and drying modes: after pulling the mounting base to unfold the support frame, the connecting rope automatically tightens to form a drying surface, and the heater body controls the upward airflow through a rotating motor, working in conjunction with a horizontal moving mechanism to achieve even drying. Compared to traditional handheld clothes dryers, this not only frees the user's hands but also avoids the risk of localized overheating. The specially designed storage structure allows the support frame and connecting rope to be completely retracted into the base, without affecting daily heating use. This "dual-purpose" design concept greatly enhances the product's practical value in rainy winter weather, meeting users' diverse needs for efficient and convenient home appliances.

[0021] 2. This utility model achieves automated control of the drying process through mechatronics design. A rotating motor drives the heater body to adjust the blowing angle, ensuring that hot air is fully directed onto suspended or stacked items. A lead screw motor drives the entire heater body to move horizontally back and forth, and a ball screw transmission system protected by a telescopic protective cover ensures that hot air evenly covers every part of the items being dried. This dynamic drying mode improves efficiency compared to static blowing and automatically avoids potential safety hazards caused by localized high-temperature accumulation through mechanical movement. The locking column and locking groove's cooperative structure ensures the stability of the support frame under load, while the spring-loaded connecting rope storage device allows for quick deployment and prevents tangling. The entire system improves drying efficiency while comprehensively considering safety and ease of operation for home use. Attached Figure Description

[0040] In summary:

[0041] In daily use, this utility model can make the air outlet surface of the heater body 3 vertical, so that the warm airflow blows outward and forward normally. It can also control the rotating motor 4 to drive the heater body 3 to rotate back and forth, which can improve the fullness of the warm airflow and improve the heating efficiency.

[0042] When items need to be air-dried, the support frame 7 is pulled out of the mounting groove 5, so that the outer end of the mounting base 6 extends out of the mounting groove 5, thereby allowing the support frame 7 to be rotated upward 90 degrees, so that the support frame 7 is in a vertical state.

[0043] Then, the connecting rope 8 on one side support frame 7 is pulled outward through the hook 9 and fastened to the hanging ring 10 on the other side support frame 7, thereby limiting the connecting rope 8 and making the connecting rope 8 horizontally spread at the top of the heater body 3, so that clothes, items, etc. that need to be dried can be hung or laid flat on the connecting rope 8.

[0044] After the mounting base 6 is pulled out, the locking knob 18 can be tightened to move the locking pin 16 inward and insert it into the locking groove 17, thereby achieving the installation limit of the mounting base 6 on the base 1 and improving the stability of the support frame 7 when it is supported.

[0045] By rotating the motor 4, the main body 3 of the heater is rotated and adjusted so that the air outlet is facing upward toward the connecting rope 8, thus achieving rapid hot air drying of the items. Here, the height of the support frame 7 is adjusted according to the power of the main body 3 of the heater to keep the clothes and the main body 3 of the heater at a safe air blowing distance.

[0046] During this process, the lead screw motor 22 can be started, and the ball screw 20 can be controlled by the lead screw motor 22 to make the lead screw nut 21 carry the mounting bracket 2 to move back and forth horizontally on the base 1, so that the items drying on the connecting rope 8 can be blown evenly, improving the drying effect and efficiency of the items, while avoiding the situation where the temperature of the items becomes too high and dangerous due to continuous blowing in one place.

[0047] The aforementioned heater body 3 can be reciprocated and adjusted during movement to further improve the uniformity of airflow and safety.

[0048] After drying, you can reverse the steps above to remove the hook 9 from the hanging ring 10. Under the action of the spring 12, it can be automatically retracted into the storage slot 11.

[0049] Then, release the locking of the mounting base 6, flip the support frame 7 downwards so that the support frame 7 is in a horizontal state, and push it inward into the mounting groove 5 for storage. In this way, the space occupied by the heater body 3 can be reduced when the drying function is not needed.

[0050] This utility model can be provided with a movable wheel structure with locking function at the bottom of the base 1 so that the whole can move flexibly. The application of movable wheels is the prior art, and this utility model will not elaborate on this part.
