Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom equipment technology, specifically to a bathroom heater with an adjustable and rotatable base support. Background Technology

[0002] Existing space heaters typically have bases that only support the unit's vertical placement. This limited base functionality restricts the airflow direction, preventing adjustments to the airflow angle to suit different needs and impacting the coverage and effectiveness of the warm air. Furthermore, while some existing space heaters have bases for hanging towels and other items, these structures are usually fixed, preventing the items from being properly dried by the heater's heat, thus reducing the product's practicality. Additionally, the limited functionality of existing bases, which cannot flexibly switch between support and hanging functions, restricts the product's adaptability to various usage scenarios and results in poor ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a base bracket that can be flipped and adjusted, which can not only ensure the stable support of the heater, but also provide effective cooperation with the air outlet system, and allow users to easily switch between different functional modes according to actual needs.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A bathroom heater with an adjustable, rotatable base includes a heater body and a base assembly. The heater body has an air inlet and an air outlet. The base assembly is located at the bottom of the heater body and includes a rotatable base support and a push-button switch. A push-button mechanism is located inside the base assembly, and the push-button switch is operably connected to the push-button mechanism. By operating the push-button switch, the push-button mechanism is driven, thereby allowing the base support to rotate between a retracted position and an extended position. When the base support is in the extended position, it extends to the area below the air outlet for hanging items, with the hanging items located below the air outlet and within the airflow path of the heater. When the base support is in the retracted position, it folds under the base assembly, serving as a support leg to support the heater.

[0006] Furthermore, the base assembly includes a fixed bracket, a front bracket shell, a rear bracket shell, and the pressing mechanism; the fixed bracket is fixedly connected to the main body of the heater; the front bracket shell and the rear bracket shell are fixedly connected to form a base shell, and the base shell is detachably connected to the fixed bracket; the pressing mechanism is located inside the base shell; the pressing switch is disposed on the outer surface of the front bracket shell and / or the rear bracket shell; the pressing mechanism directly or indirectly drives the base bracket to rotate relative to the fixed bracket.

[0007] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a support baffle and a snap-fit ​​plate; the support baffle is fixedly disposed inside the base housing; the support baffle is provided with a positioning channel; the base bracket passes through the first through holes opened on both sides of the base housing and extends into the interior of the base housing, and the extended portion of the base bracket is located within the positioning channel of the support baffle; the portion of the base bracket located within the positioning channel is provided with a positioning hole; the snap-fit ​​plate is provided with a positioning protrusion corresponding to the positioning hole; the snap-fit ​​plate is movably disposed such that the positioning protrusion can be inserted into or withdrawn from the positioning hole of the base bracket; when the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning hole, the base bracket is locked and cannot rotate.

[0036] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , 2 6, 7, 8, A bathroom heater with an adjustable, rotatable base bracket, comprising a heater body 100 and a base assembly 200. The heater body 100 has an air inlet 121 and an air outlet 141. The base assembly 200 is disposed at the bottom of the heater body 100. The base assembly 200 is provided with a rotatable base bracket 210 and a push-button switch 220. A pressing mechanism 230 is disposed inside the base assembly 200, and the push-button switch 220 is operably connected to the pressing mechanism 230. The pressing mechanism 230 is driven by the operation of the pressing switch 220, thereby causing the base bracket 210 to flip and adjust between the retracted position and the extended position. When the base bracket 210 is in the extended position, it extends to the area below the air outlet 141 for hanging items, and the hung items are located below the air outlet 141 and in the air outlet path of the heater. When the base bracket 210 is in the retracted position, it is folded under the base assembly 200 and serves as a support bracket to support the heater.

[0038] It is understandable that the items to be hung can be towels, clothing, etc. This case uses hanging towels as an example for illustration. The term "bathroom heater" will be referred to as "heater" in the following text.

[0039] For example, a user can hang a towel on the base bracket 210, with the towel positioned below the air outlet 141 and within the airflow path of the heater. When the heater is operating, the hot air blown from the air outlet 141 will directly blow onto the hanging towel, keeping it warm and dry, preventing bacterial growth in the humid bathroom environment, and enhancing the user's bathing experience.

[0040] When the base bracket 210 is in the retracted position, it folds under the base assembly 200, transforming into a support stand to support the entire heater. This allows the heater to stand stably on a table or floor, with the air outlet 141 facing upwards, expanding the airflow range and angle. Thus, the same heater can adapt to different usage scenarios, whether wall-mounted, tabletop, or floor-standing, greatly enhancing product practicality and user experience.

[0041] It should be noted that the pressing mechanism 230 works by controlling the locking and releasing of the base bracket 210 through the operation of the pressing switch 220. When the user presses the pressing switch 220, the pressing mechanism 230 releases the locking of the base bracket 210, allowing the base bracket 210 to rotate freely; when the pressing switch 220 is released, the pressing mechanism 230 relocks the base bracket 210, keeping it in its current position. This method is simple and easy to operate, allowing users to easily switch between different usage modes to meet diverse needs in the bathroom environment.

[0042] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 The main body 100 of the heater includes a front cover 110, a rear cover 120, a top cover 130, and a bottom cover 140. The front cover 110 and the rear cover 120 are connected side-by-side to form the main frame. The top cover 130 is connected to the upper ends of the front cover 110 and the rear cover 120, sealing the top of the main body. The bottom cover 140 is connected to the lower ends of the front cover 110 and the rear cover 120, sealing the bottom of the main body. The air inlet 121 is located on the rear cover, and the air outlet 141 is located on the bottom cover 140. The top cover 130 is connected to the upper ends of the front cover 110 and the rear cover 120 to seal the top of the main body, preventing dust and moisture from entering the device from above, and also improving the overall appearance of the heater. The bottom cover 140 is connected to the lower ends of the front cover 110 and the rear cover 120, sealing the bottom of the main body, providing an installation base for the base assembly 200, and also serving as one of the supporting structures of the entire heater.

[0043] Furthermore, when the heater is installed on a wall or placed on a table, it ensures that air enters the device smoothly from the rear, avoiding the inconvenience that might result from front or side air intake. When the base bracket 210 is in the extended position, the hot air blows downwards from the lower cover 140, passing directly over any items suspended by the base bracket 210, as the air outlet 141 is located on the lower cover 140. When the base bracket 210 is in the retracted position, it folds under the base assembly 200 as a support, allowing the heater to be stably placed on the table with the air outlet 141 facing upwards, providing a warm environment for the entire bathroom.

[0044] Furthermore, refer to Figure 7 The lower cover 140 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane; a mounting notch 142 is provided at the center of the rear end of the lower cover 140; the upper end of the base assembly 200 is embedded in the mounting notch 142, matching and connecting with the rear contour of the lower cover 140. Firstly, the inclined lower cover 140 helps improve the airflow distribution of the heater, allowing hot air to diffuse more evenly outwards, enhancing the overall heating effect. Secondly, in a bathroom environment, it also serves a waterproof and drainage function; when water droplets may splash onto the heater, the water will naturally flow away along the surface of the inclined lower cover 140 instead of accumulating at the bottom of the device, effectively preventing water from seeping into the device and causing safety hazards. The mounting notch 142 at the center of the rear end of the lower cover 140 is structurally matched with the base assembly 200. The upper end of the base assembly 200 can be embedded in the mounting notch 142, precisely matching and connecting with the rear contour of the lower cover 140, forming a complete appearance and structural whole. In addition, the installation notch 142 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the base assembly 200, making the product more convenient during assembly and subsequent maintenance.

[0045] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8The base assembly 200 includes a fixed bracket 300, a front bracket shell 330, a rear bracket shell 340, and a pressing mechanism 230. The fixed bracket 300 is fixedly connected to the heater body 100. The front bracket shell 330 and the rear bracket shell 340 are fixedly connected to form the base shell, and the base shell is detachably connected to the fixed bracket 300. The pressing mechanism 230 is located inside the base shell. A pressing switch 220 is disposed on the outer surface of the front bracket shell 330 and / or the rear bracket shell 340. The pressing mechanism 230 directly or indirectly drives the base bracket 210, causing it to flip relative to the fixed bracket 300. The base shell and the fixed bracket 300 are detachably connected. The pressing switch 220 is disposed on the outer surface of the front bracket shell 330 and / or the rear bracket shell 340 for convenient user operation. The pressing mechanism 230 works by directly or indirectly driving the base bracket 210, causing it to flip relative to the fixed bracket 300. When the user presses the push switch 220, this action is transmitted to the internal pressing mechanism 230. The pressing mechanism 230 then releases the lock on the base bracket 210 and provides the necessary force or releases the pre-stored energy, so that the base bracket 210 can flip from the retracted position to the unfolded position, or flip from the unfolded position to the retracted position.

[0046] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , 34, 8, The pressing mechanism 230 includes a support baffle 231 and a snap-fit ​​plate 234; the support baffle 231 is fixedly disposed inside the base housing; the support baffle 231 is provided with a positioning channel 2312; the base bracket 210 passes through the first through holes 240 opened on both sides of the base housing and extends into the interior of the base housing, and the extended portion of the base bracket 210 is located within the positioning channel 2312 of the support baffle 231; the portion of the base bracket 210 located within the positioning channel 2312 is provided with a positioning hole 211; the snap-fit ​​plate 234 is provided with a positioning protrusion 2341 corresponding to the positioning hole 211; the snap-fit ​​plate 234 is movably disposed such that the positioning protrusion 2341 can be inserted into or withdrawn from the positioning hole 211 of the base bracket 210; when the positioning protrusion 2341 is inserted into the positioning hole 211, the base bracket 210 is locked and cannot rotate. The positioning channel 2312 provides space for the base bracket 210 to rotate and ensures that the base bracket 210 moves along a predetermined trajectory during flipping, avoiding deviation or jamming. The base bracket 210 passes through the first through holes 240 on both sides of the base housing and extends into the interior of the base housing, so that a part of the base bracket 210 is visible on the outside and used for hanging items, while the other part extends into the interior to cooperate with the locking mechanism. The part of the base bracket 210 extending into the interior is located within the positioning channel 2312 of the support baffle 231, so that the base bracket 210 can be guided and limited by the support baffle 231 when flipping.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figure 8 The base bracket 210 has positioning holes 211 in the portion within the positioning channel 2312, and the snap-fit ​​plate 234 has positioning protrusions 2341 corresponding to the positioning holes 211 in the base bracket 210. The snap-fit ​​plate 234 is movable and has a certain range of motion, allowing the positioning protrusions 2341 to be inserted into the positioning holes 211 in the base bracket 210 when needed, or to be removed from the positioning holes 211 when unlocking is required. (See reference...) Figure 3 When the positioning protrusion 2341 is inserted into the positioning hole 211, the base bracket 210 is firmly locked and cannot rotate, ensuring the stability of the base bracket 210 in the folded or unfolded position.

[0048] Furthermore, guide holes 2311 are respectively provided on both sides of the positioning channel 2312 on the support baffle 231; the pressing mechanism 230 also includes a guide post 232; one end of the guide post 232 is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​plate 234, and the other end is fixedly connected to the pressing switch 220; the guide post 232 passes through the guide hole 2311 on the support baffle 231, so that the snap-fit ​​plate 234 moves relative to the support baffle 231 under the guidance of the guide post 232; by operating the pressing switch 220, the guide post 232 can be driven to move the snap-fit ​​plate 234, thereby making the positioning protrusion 2341 engage or disengage from the positioning hole 211.

[0049] The guide hole 2311 serves to guide and limit movement, ensuring that the snap-fit ​​plate 234 can move smoothly along a predetermined path without deviation or jamming. One end of the guide post 232, which mates with the guide hole 2311, is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​plate 234 to ensure direct transmission of force and motion; the other end is fixedly connected to the push-button switch 220 to receive user commands. The guide post 232 passes through the guide hole 2311 on the support baffle 231, and not only transmits force but also guides the snap-fit ​​plate 234 to move linearly relative to the support baffle 231.

[0050] When the user presses the push switch 220, the pressure is directly transmitted to the guide post 232. The guide post 232 then moves the latching plate 234, causing the positioning protrusion 2341 on the latching plate 234 to disengage from the positioning hole 211 on the base bracket 210, releasing the base bracket 210 so that it can rotate freely. Similarly, when the user releases the push switch 220 or when the push switch 220 springs back, the guide post 232 moves the latching plate 234 in the opposite direction, causing the positioning protrusion 2341 to re-engage with the positioning hole 211, locking the base bracket 210 in a specific position.

[0051] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism 230 also includes a guide return spring 233; the guide return spring 233 is sleeved on the guide post 232 and located between the pressing switch 220 and the support baffle 231; the two ends of the guide return spring 233 abut against the pressing switch 220 and the support baffle 231 respectively; the guide return spring 233 is in a compressed state, providing an elastic force that moves the pressing switch 220 away from the support baffle 231, and this elastic force is transmitted through the guide post 232, driving the snap-fit ​​plate 234 to press against the base bracket 210, thereby keeping the positioning protrusion 2341 inserted into the positioning hole 211 to lock the base bracket 210.

[0052] The return spring acts directly on the push switch 220 and the support baffle 231, providing the necessary elastic return force for the system. In use, the return spring effectively transmits the force to the locking plate 234 via the guide post 232, causing the locking plate 234 to press against the base bracket 210. This keeps the positioning protrusion 2341 inserted into the positioning hole 211 of the base bracket 210, achieving automatic locking of the base bracket 210.

[0053] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 8 On the two side walls of the base housing, a second through hole 250 is provided near the first through hole 240, and a third through hole 260 is provided away from the second through hole 250 and located in the middle of the base housing. A pressing member 270 is provided inside the base housing, with its two free ends located on both sides of the base housing. Each pressing member 270 on each side of the base housing has an upper engaging portion 271 and a lower pressing portion 272 protruding vertically along its length. The upper engaging portion 271 of the pressing member 270 extends out of the base housing through the third through hole 260 on the same side; the lower pressing portion 272 of the pressing member 270 extends out of the base housing through the second through hole 250 on the same side. Inside the base housing, a pressing return spring 280 is connected between the pressing members 270 on both sides, providing a mechanism for the upper engaging portion of the pressing members 270. The part 271 maintains an elastic force that tends to extend outward from the third through hole 260; the fixed bracket 300 has a mounting cavity 310, and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 310 is provided with a slot 320; the base housing is detachably connected to the fixed bracket 300 by engaging the upper engaging part 271 of the pressing member 270 into the slot 320 in the mounting cavity 310 of the fixed bracket 300; during installation or removal, by simultaneously pressing the lower pressing parts 272 extending from both sides of the base housing inward, the elastic force of the spring is overcome, and the upper engaging part 271 of the pressing member 270 is driven to retract into the base housing and disengage from the slot 320 of the fixed bracket 300, thereby allowing the base housing to be inserted into or removed from the mounting cavity 310 of the fixed bracket 300; after releasing the pressure on the lower pressing part 272, under the action of the spring, the upper engaging part 271 re-extends from the base housing and engages into the slot 320.

[0054] The two free ends of the pressing latch 270, located inside the base housing, extend to both sides of the base housing. The pressing latch 270 has an upper locking portion 271 and a lower pressing portion 272 protruding vertically along its length. The upper locking portion 271 engages with the slot 320 of the fixed bracket 300 to achieve a locking function; while the lower pressing portion 272 is located in an easily accessible position for the user to press and release the lock. The upper locking portion 271 of the pressing latch 270 extends out of the base housing through the third through hole 260 on the same side, precisely engaging with the slot 320 on the fixed bracket 300; while the lower pressing portion 272 extends out of the base housing through the second through hole 250 on the same side, facilitating user operation.

[0055] Inside the base housing, a press-reset spring 280 is connected between the two pressing clips 270 on both sides. This spring provides elastic force to keep the upper locking portion 271 of the pressing clips 270 protruding outward from the third through hole 260. This ensures that the upper locking portion 271 always remains in the extended state in the default position, cooperating with the slot 320 of the fixed bracket 300 to achieve automatic locking.

[0056] The fixed bracket 300 is designed with a mounting cavity 310, and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 310 is provided with a slot 320 that matches the upper snap-fit ​​portion 271 of the pressing clip 270. The base housing achieves a detachable connection with the fixed bracket 300 by snapping the upper snap-fit ​​portion 271 of the pressing clip 270 into the slot 320 in the mounting cavity 310 of the fixed bracket 300. The snap-fit ​​connection is not only secure but also facilitates quick installation and disassembly.

[0057] Furthermore, the slots 320 on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 310 are arranged vertically.
