[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives, and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following describes this utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments:
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a convection electric heater with a waste heat recovery structure, including an electric heater shell 1, a heat dissipation mesh frame 2 on the front of the electric heater shell 1, a plurality of heat dissipation vents 3 evenly arranged on the top of the electric heater shell 1, a plurality of air inlets on the bottom of the electric heater shell 1, an electric heating unit inside the electric heater shell 1, fixed shells 4 fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the electric heater shell 1 respectively, support feet 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two fixed shells 4, heat dissipation mechanism 6 inside each of the two fixed shells 4, a heat recovery component 7 on the opposite side of the two fixed shells 4 near the lower side of the electric heater shell 1, a stand 8 fixedly connected to the top of each of the two fixed shells 4, a waste heat recovery structure 9 on the top of the two stand 8, and a switch 10 at the front end of the left fixed shell 4.
[0025] The heater is configured with a housing 1, a heat dissipation mesh frame 2, a heat dissipation vent 3, a fixed housing 4, supporting feet 5, a heat dissipation mechanism 6, a heat recovery component 7, a stand 8, and a waste heat recovery structure 9. Through the coordinated operation of the heat dissipation mechanism 6 and the heat recovery component 7, the heat dissipation mechanism 6 can agitate the heat from the heating element inside the heater housing 1, allowing the hot air to spread rapidly throughout the room, accelerating the heating process. The waste heat is then returned to the heater housing 1 through the heat recovery component 7, improving combustion efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Through the coordinated operation of the stand 8 and the waste heat recovery structure 9, the waste heat in the air heats the water in the waste heat recovery structure 9. The water vapor generated by the heating is discharged and diffused, humidifying the air and preventing it from becoming too dry.

The upper end of the rotating rod 62 is fixedly connected, and the inner walls of the two positioning sleeves 63 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the outer wall of the rotating rod 62. One end of several fan blades 64 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the two positioning sleeves 63 in a circular array. The top of the rotary motor 61 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the fixed housing 4. The bottom of the outer wall of the rotating rod 62 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed housing 4. The output shaft of the rotary motor 61 drives the multiple fan blades 64 to rotate through the rotating rod 62, so that the heat generated inside the electric heater housing 1 is blown outward, so that the hot air is quickly diffused in the room and the heating speed is accelerated.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a convection electric heater technical solution with a waste heat recovery structure: the recovery component 7 includes a hollow square tube 71 and a perforated plate 72. The top of the hollow square tube 71 has an internally and externally penetrating installation port 710. The outer wall of the perforated plate 72 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation port 710. The port of the hollow square tube 71 is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the fixed housing 4 near the heat exhaust port 401. Waste heat flows into the hollow square tube 71 through the heat exhaust port 401 and flows back into the electric heater housing 1 through the perforated plate 72, thereby improving combustion efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a convection electric heater with a waste heat recovery structure: the waste heat recovery structure 9 includes a water tank 91, a water inlet pipe 92, a sealing plug 93, a drain pipe 94, a drain valve 95, several heat-conducting plates 96, and two hanging brackets 97. The bottom of the water inlet pipe 92 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the sealing plug 93 on the left side of the top of the water tank 91 and is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the water inlet pipe 92. One end of the drain pipe 94 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left end of the water tank 91. The drain valve 95 is located outside the drain pipe 94. The upper ends of several heat-conducting plates 96 are equidistantly arrayed and fixedly connected to the lower end of the water tank 91. The multiple heat-conducting plates 96 transfer the waste heat in the air to the water tank 91 to heat the water in the water tank 91. One end of the two hanging brackets 97 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the water tank 91, respectively. The tops of the two brackets 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 91 near the outer side of several heat-conducting plates 96.
[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a convection electric heater with a waste heat recovery structure: a fixed plate 98 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 91, and several vertically penetrating vent holes 980 are equidistantly arrayed inside the fixed plate 98. A vent 910 is opened on the top of the water tank 91, which is connected to the several vent holes 980. By opening multiple vent holes 980, water vapor is discharged through the vent holes 980 during the heating process, thereby humidifying the indoor air.
[0030] The working principle of this convection electric heater with waste heat recovery structure will be explained in detail below.
[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, water is injected into the water tank 91 through the water injection pipe 92, and then the sealing plug 93 is screwed into the water injection pipe 92. The electric heater is connected to an external power source through a wire, and the control switch 10 is used to turn on the heating element inside the heater housing 1 to start operation. Then, the rotary motor 61 is started, and the output shaft of the rotary motor 61 drives the rotating rod 62 to rotate, which in turn drives the fan blades 64 to rotate, fanning the heat from the heating element inside the heater housing 1, so that the hot air is quickly diffused into the room, accelerating the heating speed. The residual heat inside the fixed housing 4 flows into the hollow square tube 71 through the heat outlet 401, and is discharged from the electric heater through the perforated plate 72. The air inlet at the bottom of the heater housing 1 flows back into the heater housing 1, further improving combustion efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The heat from the heating element inside the heater housing 1 is discharged upwards along the heat dissipation vent 3. Multiple heat-conducting fins 96 transfer the residual heat in the air to the water tank 91 to heat the water in the water tank 91. The water vapor generated during the heating process is discharged upwards through the vent 980 and diffused into the room, further humidifying the air and preventing the room from becoming too dry. Wet clothes can also be hung on the hanging rack 97 to dry. By opening the drain valve 95, the hot water in the water tank 91 can be discharged from the drain pipe 94 for use.

Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
