Taking heaters as an example, heaters with voice control functions can well balance intelligence and convenient operation, and are therefore very popular among consumers. Especially in environments such as bathrooms, heaters with voice control functions greatly facilitate user operation and make the heater operation more convenient.

[0003] However, in order to realize the voice control function, a voice acquisition module and a voice playback module need to be configured in the heater. The high temperature of the heater when it is working can easily cause the voice acquisition module and the voice playback module to fail due to high temperature. In addition, the setting of the voice acquisition module and the voice playback module can also easily interfere with the original heating and heat dissipation performance of the heater. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a heater to solve the problem in the related technology that the voice acquisition module and the voice playback module are prone to failure due to high temperature, and will interfere with the original heating and heat dissipation performance of the heater.

[0006] Heater body;

[0007] The control panel mounting shell is located at one end of the heater body. The control panel mounting shell is provided with a first mounting structure, a sound pickup hole, a second mounting structure, and a sound broadcast hole.

[0008] The voice acquisition module is located inside the control board mounting housing and is confined to the first mounting structure. The acquisition side of the voice acquisition module is set towards the pickup hole.

[0009] The voice playback module is located inside the control board mounting housing and is confined to the second mounting structure. The sound output hole of the voice playback module is oriented towards the broadcast hole.

[0010] Beneficial effects: The heater of this utility model embodiment includes a heater body and a control board mounting shell located at one end of the heater body. The voice acquisition module and the voice playback module are both located inside the control board mounting shell. This arrangement not only separates the installation positions of the voice playback module and the voice acquisition module from the heater body, thereby avoiding the heating area of ​​the heater and preventing the voice acquisition module and the voice playback module from failing due to high temperatures during the operation of the heater, but also ensures that the setting of the voice acquisition module and the voice playback module does not interfere with the original heating and heat dissipation performance of the heater.

[0011] Based on this, placing the voice acquisition module and voice playback module inside the control board mounting housing can shorten the distance between the voice acquisition module and voice playback module and the control board. This helps to shorten the length of the wires between the voice acquisition module and the control board, as well as between the voice playback module and the control board, thereby avoiding interference during the wiring process, optimizing the signal transmission path, and improving voice quality.

[0012] Therefore, the heater of this utility model embodiment can overcome the problem that the voice acquisition module and voice playback module in the related technology are prone to failure due to high temperature, and will interfere with the original heating and heat dissipation performance of the heater.

[0094] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0095] As people's living standards improve, the demand for home appliances is also constantly growing. Heaters, as an indispensable part of modern homes, have seen their performance and functionality optimized, becoming a key focus of research and development for major manufacturers. Existing heaters generally use mechanical buttons, touch panels, or mobile apps for control, lacking a natural human-computer interaction method. Users need to operate them manually or rely on their phones, which is unfriendly to the elderly and those with mobility issues.

[0096] In related technologies, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the heater includes a heater body 1' and a control panel mounting shell 2' mounted on the heater body 1'. The control panel mounting shell 2' includes a mounting shell body 205' and a decorative panel 206'. The decorative panel 206' covers the mounting shell body 205' to enhance the heater's aesthetics. The high temperature during operation can easily cause the voice acquisition module 3 and the voice playback module 4 to malfunction due to overheating. Furthermore, the configuration of the voice acquisition module 3 and the voice playback module 4 can easily interfere with the heater's original heating and heat dissipation performance.

[0097] The following is combined Figures 1 to 20 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0098] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a heater is provided, including a heater body 1, a control board mounting shell 2, a voice acquisition module 3, and a voice playback module 4.

[0099] The control board mounting shell 2 is located at one end of the heater body 1. The control board mounting shell 2 has a first mounting structure 201, a microphone hole 202, a second mounting structure 203, and a broadcast hole 204. The voice acquisition module 3 is located inside the control board mounting shell 2 and within the first mounting structure 201, with its acquisition side facing the microphone hole 202. The voice playback module 4 is located inside the control board mounting shell 2 and confined within the second mounting structure 203. The sound output hole of the voice playback module 4 faces the broadcast hole 204.

[0100] The heater of this utility model embodiment includes a heater body 1 and a control board mounting shell 2 located at one end of the heater body 1. The voice acquisition module 3 and the voice playback module 4 are both located inside the control board mounting shell 2. With this arrangement, the installation positions of the voice playback module 4 and the voice acquisition module 3 are separated from the heater body 1, thereby avoiding the heating area of ​​the heater and preventing the voice acquisition module 3 and the voice playback module 4 from failing due to high temperature during the operation of the heater. In addition, the arrangement of the voice acquisition module 3 and the voice playback module 4 does not easily interfere with the original heating and heat dissipation performance of the heater.

[0101] Based on this, by placing the voice acquisition module 3 and the voice playback module 4 inside the control board mounting shell 2, the distance between the voice acquisition module 3 and the voice playback module 4 and the control board 10 can be shortened. This helps to shorten the length of the wires 9 between the voice acquisition module 3 and the control board 10, as well as between the voice playback module 4 and the control board 10, thereby avoiding interference during the wiring process, optimizing the signal transmission path, and improving voice quality.

[0102] Therefore, the heater of this utility model embodiment can overcome the problem that the voice acquisition module 3 and the voice playback module 4 in the related technology are prone to failure due to high temperature and will interfere with the original heating and heat dissipation performance of the heater. It also helps to avoid interference during the wiring process, optimizes the signal transmission path, and can improve voice quality.

[0103] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the heater is an electric heating film heater, and the control board mounting shell 2 is the front shell of the heater.

[0104] In one embodiment, the sound output hole 204 is a small-diameter plum blossom hole to achieve sound output.

[0105] As an alternative implementation, in some embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the heater may also be an oil-filled radiator or a fan heater, etc.

[0106] The voice acquisition module 3 is preferably, but not limited to, a microphone, and the voice playback module 4 is preferably, but not limited to, a speaker.

[0107] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 17 As shown, the control panel mounting housing 2 includes a mounting housing body 205 and a decorative panel 206.

[0108] The mounting housing body 205 has a first side 210 and a second side 211 disposed opposite to each other. The first side 210 of the mounting housing body 205 is connected to the heater body 1. The first mounting structure 201 includes a first mounting groove 2011 provided on the control panel mounting housing 2. A decorative panel 206 is provided on the second side 211 of the mounting housing body 205 and exposes the sound hole 204. The decorative panel 206 is provided with a sound pickup hole 202.

[0109] With this configuration, the pickup hole 202 on the decorative panel 206 can form a sound wave inlet, avoiding low-frequency attenuation caused by the closed cavity. The voice acquisition module 3 can be positioned closer to the decorative panel 206, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the voice acquisition module 3.

[0110] Based on this, when the voice acquisition module 3 is placed between the control board mounting shell 2 and the decorative panel 206, the distance between the voice acquisition module 3 and the high-temperature heater body 1 can be further increased, thereby avoiding the high temperature at the heater body 1 from having an adverse effect on the temperature-sensitive voice acquisition module 3.

[0111] Secondly, when the voice acquisition module 3 malfunctions, the operator only needs to open the decorative panel 206 to repair and replace the voice acquisition module 3, thereby simplifying the maintenance operation of the voice acquisition module 3.

[0112] Furthermore, the decorative panel 206 is located on the control board mounting shell 2, which can cover the voice acquisition module 3, so that the newly added voice acquisition module 3 and voice playback module 4 can be integrated with the overall appearance of the heater, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the heater.

[0113] In one embodiment, the decorative panel 206 is provided with a display screen and buttons, which enables human-computer interaction and increases the control methods of the heater.

[0114] In one embodiment, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the first mounting groove 2011 has a limiting rib 2012 on its groove wall, which can abut against the voice acquisition module 3.

[0115] The limiting rib 2012 can reliably position the voice acquisition module 3, preventing the voice acquisition module 3 from shaking or flipping.

[0116] In one embodiment, there are multiple limiting ribs 2012, which are spaced apart on the groove wall of the first mounting groove 2011.

[0117] In one embodiment, such as Figure 17 As shown, the decorative panel 206 has an annular protrusion 2061 on the side facing the control panel mounting shell 2. When the decorative panel 206 covers the mounting shell body 205, the annular protrusion 2061 abuts against the voice acquisition module 3.

[0118] With this configuration, when the decorative panel 206 is placed on the mounting housing body 205, the annular protrusion 2061 can press against the surface of the voice acquisition module 3 to fix the voice acquisition module 3.

[0119] In one embodiment, the height of the annular protrusion 2061 is set such that when the decorative panel 206 is disposed on the mounting housing body 205, the annular protrusion 2061 just contacts the surface of the voice acquisition module 3.

[0120] In one embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the mounting housing body 205 is provided with a first connecting hole 2013, such as... Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the decorative panel 206 is provided with a second connection hole 2062, and the control panel mounting shell 2 also includes a fastener that can pass through the second connection hole 2062 and be connected to the first connection hole 2013.

[0121] The first fastener reliably holds the decorative panel 206 in place on the control panel mounting housing 2.

[0122] The first fastener is preferably, but not limited to, a bolt or rivet.

[0123] In one embodiment, the decorative panel 206 has multiple buckles on its outer periphery and the mounting housing body 205 has multiple slots. An operator can press the decorative panel 206 onto the mounting housing body 205 to engage the buckles with the slots, thereby pre-positioning the decorative panel 206 onto the mounting housing body 205. Then, the first fastener is passed through the second connecting hole 2062 and connected to the first connecting hole 2013, so that the decorative panel 206 is securely installed on the mounting housing body 205.

[0124] As an alternative implementation, in some embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the connection between the decorative panel 206 and the mounting housing body 205 may also be adhesive or magnetic.

[0125] In one embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the first mounting slot 2011 is a waist-shaped slot.

[0126] With this design, the waist-shaped groove can prevent errors, making it easier for the operator to distinguish the first mounting groove 2011 from the first connecting hole 2013, and preventing the operator from accidentally driving the first fastener into the first mounting groove 2011 during the assembly process.

[0127] As a possible implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the first mounting groove 2011 may also be a circular groove, a square groove, an elliptical groove, or an irregularly shaped groove, etc.

[0128] In one embodiment, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the second mounting structure 203 includes a second limiting groove 2031 and an anti-detachment bracket 2032.

[0129] The second limiting groove 2031 is located on the side of the control board mounting shell 2 near the heater body 1, and the voice playback module 4 is located inside the second limiting groove 2031. The anti-detachment bracket 2032 is detachably connected to the control board mounting shell 2 and covers the opening of the second limiting groove 2031.

[0130] With this setup, during assembly, the operator can first place the voice playback module 4 into the first mounting slot 2011, and then connect the anti-detachment bracket 2032 to the control board mounting shell 2. The anti-detachment bracket 2032 can cover the opening of the second limiting slot 2031, thereby preventing the voice playback module 4 from coming out of the second limiting slot 2031 and pressing the voice playback module 4 tightly into the mounting slot, thus reliably limiting the voice playback module 4.

[0131] In one embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, the heater also includes an anti-tipping switch 5 and a second fastener 6.

[0132] The anti-tipping switch 5 is located on the side of the control panel mounting shell 2 near the heater body 1. The second fastener 6 passes through the anti-tipping switch 5 and the anti-detachment bracket 2032 in sequence and connects to the control panel mounting shell 2.

[0133] In related technologies, such as Figure 6 As shown, the heater is equipped with an anti-tipping switch 5' to cut off the power supply when the heater is tilted, so as to avoid fire or scalding accidents.

[0134] The heater in this embodiment places the voice playback module 4 at the location of the anti-tipping switch 5, and connects the anti-detachment bracket 2032 by means of the second fastener 6 used to fix the anti-tipping switch 5, thereby simplifying the installation process of the voice playback module 4 and reducing the number of screw posts set in the control board mounting shell 2.

[0135] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the number of the second fasteners 6 is not limited. For example, in an optional embodiment, there are two second fasteners 6.

[0136] As an alternative implementation, in one embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the voice playback module 4 is spaced apart from the anti-tipping switch 5 and is individually connected to the control board mounting housing 2 by fasteners.

[0137] In one embodiment, such as Figure 13 As shown, the heater also includes a wire tie-up stand 7 and a third fastener 8.

[0138] The cable tie platform 7 is mounted on the control panel mounting housing 2. The cable tie platform 7 has screw posts. The third fastener 8 passes through the anti-loosening bracket 2032 and is connected to the bolt post 701.

[0139] In related technologies, such as Figure 6 As shown, a wire tie mounting platform 7' is provided inside the mounting housing body 205' for fixing the wire tie.

[0140] In this embodiment, the wire tying platform 7 is configured to extend to the location of the anti-detachment bracket 2032, and a bolt post 701 is provided on the wire tying platform 7. This allows the bolt post 701 to be connected to the third fastener 8 without having to be too long, thus avoiding the bolt post 701 being too long and prone to breakage.

[0141] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the number of third fasteners 8 is not limited. For example, in an optional embodiment, there is one third fastener 8.

[0142] As an alternative implementation, in one embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the wire tying tower and the anti-detachment bracket 2032 are spaced apart, and the bolt column 701 is directly mounted on the control panel mounting shell 2.

[0143] In one embodiment, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the voice playback module 4 has a polygonal structure. The second limiting groove 2031 is surrounded by limiting ribs 2033, which include corner ribs 20331 and first anti-misalignment ribs 20332. Each corner rib 20331 is located at one corner of the voice playback module 4. The voice playback module 4 has a connecting side 402 and a mating side 401 arranged opposite to each other. The connecting side 402 of the voice playback module 4 is connected to a wire 9, and the first anti-misalignment rib 20332 is located at the mating side 401 of the voice playback module 4.

[0144] At least three corner ribs 20331 can reliably limit the movement of the voice playback module 4. The first anti-misalignment rib 20332 can be used to prevent the connection side 402 and mating side 401 of the voice playback module 4 from being installed backwards.

[0145] In one embodiment, there are three corner ribs 20331, which can reduce the material required for the limiting ribs 2033 while ensuring reliable limiting of the voice playback module 4.

[0146] As a possible implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the limiting rib 2033 is a continuous rib arranged around the outer periphery of the voice playback module 4, with an opening for electrical conduction only at the position corresponding to the voice playback module 4.

[0147] In one embodiment, such as Figure 14 As shown, a second anti-misalignment rib 20333 is provided on the bottom of the limiting groove. The second anti-misalignment rib 20333 can form an anti-misalignment groove. The voice playback module 4 is provided with an anti-misalignment protrusion, which can be located in the anti-misalignment groove.

[0148] With this configuration, when the side of the voice playback module 4 with the sound outlet is not facing the broadcast hole 204, the anti-misalignment rib can lift the voice playback module 4, preventing it from being installed into the second limit slot 2031, thus reminding the operator to reassemble the voice playback module 4.

[0149] In one embodiment, the second anti-misalignment rib 20333 can form a circular anti-misalignment groove. A protruding post is formed on the surface of the voice playback module 4, and the protruding post can be confined within the anti-misalignment groove.

[0150] In one embodiment, such as Figure 16 As shown, the heater also includes a control panel 10.

[0151] The control board 10 is located inside the control board mounting shell 2. The control board 10 is provided with a wiring port, and the wires 9 of the voice acquisition module 3 and the voice playback module 4 are respectively connected to the wiring port.

[0152] In related technologies, heaters with voice control functions typically support network-connected voice control, such as integration with smart home platforms. While such heaters facilitate human-computer interaction, they suffer from reliance on external network environments, privacy risks, high response latency, and high costs.

[0153] The heater in this embodiment of the application has a voice acquisition module 3 and a voice playback module 4 installed in the control board mounting shell 2, and an interface is added on the control board 10 to connect the voice acquisition module 3 and the voice playback module 4. This realizes the cable management voice function of the heater, which not only facilitates human-computer interaction, but also avoids problems such as privacy leakage, high response delay and high cost caused by relying on external network environment.

[0154] In one embodiment, such as Figure 20 As shown, the control board mounting shell 2 is provided with a reinforcing rib 207 and a clearance groove 208. The clearance groove 208 is connected to the first mounting groove 2011. The reinforcing rib 207 is provided with a wire fixing groove 2071. The wire 9 of the voice acquisition module 3 passes through the clearance groove 208 and the wire fixing groove 2071 to connect to the wiring port.

[0155] With this setup, a wire-fixing groove 2071 can be formed inside the control board mounting housing 2 without adding materials, thereby reliably limiting the wires 9 of the voice acquisition module 3 and helping to simplify the structure of the heater.

[0156] As a possible implementation, the control board mounting housing 2 is provided with a wire fixing rib, and the wire fixing rib is provided with a wire fixing groove 2071. The wire 9 of the voice acquisition module 3 passes through the clearance groove 208 and the wire fixing groove 2071 to connect to the wiring port.

[0157] In one embodiment, the control board mounting housing 2 is provided with a wiring clip 209, through which the wire 9 of the voice playback module 4 passes to connect to the wiring port.

[0158] In related technologies, such as Figure 6 As shown, the heater's mounting housing has a wiring clip 209', which is used to secure the wiring of the temperature sensor.

[0159] The heater in this embodiment uses the existing wiring clip 209 of the temperature sensor on the control board mounting shell 2 to fix the wire 9 of the voice playback module 4. Thus, the wiring of the voice playback module 4 is reliably fixed without adding wiring clips 209, simplifying the internal structure of the control board mounting shell 2.

[0160] As an alternative implementation, in one embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, a wiring clip 209 is added to the control board mounting housing 2 to limit the wires 9 of the voice acquisition module 3.

[0161] In summary, the heater of this utility model embodiment can overcome the problems in related technologies where the voice acquisition module 3 and voice playback module 4 are prone to failure due to high temperature and interfere with the original heating and heat dissipation performance of the heater. It also helps to avoid interference during the wiring process, optimizes the signal transmission path, and can improve voice quality.

[0162] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
