They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features. Thus, the use of "first" and "second" to define a feature may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "several" or "a number" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0023] Example 1 The annular bathroom heater with turbine blades described in this embodiment includes a housing 1 and a panel 2. The housing 1 has a cylindrical structure and a mounting part 11 is provided at the edge of the housing 1, which can be hoisted by screws. The housing 1 is also provided with a first fastener 12, and the panel 2 is provided with a second fastener 21 at the edge. The panel 2 and the housing 1 are rotated and fastened together by the first fastener 12 and the second fastener 21, which facilitates later maintenance, repair and replacement of parts.

[0024] The panel 2 is provided with an annular air inlet 22 and an air outlet 23. The annular air inlet 22 is located on the outer ring of the air outlet 23, and a filter screen 24 is provided at the annular air inlet 22. The housing 1 is provided with a mounting bracket 3. The mounting bracket 3 has a blowing assembly 4 and an annular heating assembly 5 facing the panel 2. The annular heating assembly 5 includes a heating bracket 51 and multiple heating elements 52. The heating bracket 51 is fixed on the mounting bracket 3. The heating bracket 51 is provided with an annular blowing channel 53. All the heating elements 52 are evenly arranged in a polygonal pattern on the blowing channel 53, so that the cold air drawn in is heated by the heating elements 52 and then hot air is blown out.

[0025] The blower assembly 4 includes a blower motor 41 and a blower turbine blade 42. The blower motor 41 is fixed in the middle of the heating bracket 51 (the heating element is located in the outer ring and does not interfere with the blower motor). The blower turbine blade 42 is installed on the output shaft of the blower motor 41. A first air guide shroud 61 is provided below the blower turbine blade 42. The first air guide shroud 61 has a conical structure and a first ventilation port 62 in the middle of the first air guide shroud 61, which allows air to flow into the blower turbine blade 42 and be pressurized and blown out by the blower turbine blade 42.

[0026] Below the first air guide shroud 61 is an air exchange assembly 7, which includes an air exchange motor 71 and an air exchange turbine blade 72. The air exchange motor 71 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1, and the air exchange turbine blade 72 is installed on the output shaft of the air exchange motor 71. The side of the housing 1 is also provided with an exhaust port 13. The air exchange motor 71 can drive the air exchange turbine blade 72 to rotate. Air enters from the annular air inlet 22, is pressurized by the air exchange turbine blade 72, and is discharged from the exhaust port 13.

[0027] The air outlet 23 has a circular structure, with a baffle plate 8 in the middle, forming an air outlet channel 25 between the baffle plate 8 and the air outlet 23. The baffle plate 8 has a ring structure with a protruding circular baffle wall 81 in the middle, and multiple evenly distributed adjustment holes 82 on the circular baffle wall 81. The housing 1 also has an adjustment mechanism that drives the baffle plate 8 to swing. The adjustment mechanism includes multiple adjustment units, each of which includes an adjustment motor 83 and an eccentric adjustment rod 84. One end of the eccentric adjustment rod 84 is fixed to the adjustment motor 83, and the other end is inserted into the adjustment hole 82. The adjustment motor 83 drives the eccentric adjustment rod 84 to rotate, and the eccentric adjustment rod 84 drives the baffle plate 8 to swing, thereby adjusting the air outlet direction.

[0028] During air blowing: The blower motor 41 starts, driving the blower turbine blades 42 to rotate. Air enters from the annular air inlet 22, and enters the blower turbine blades 42 through the gap between the housing 1 and the mounting bracket 3 and the first ventilation opening 62 in the middle of the first air guide shroud 61. After being pressurized by the blower turbine blades 42, it flows to the air blowing channel 53 of the heating bracket 51. After being heated by the heating element 52, hot air is blown out from the air outlet 25 between the air outlet 23 and the air guide plate 8. The heating bracket 51 has several spirally distributed air guide ribs 54 on the side facing the blower turbine blades 42. The air guide ribs 54 can separate the airflow and make it flow to the heating element 52, ensuring uniform air output.

[0029] During ventilation: the ventilation motor 71 starts, driving the ventilation turbine blades 72 to rotate. Air enters from the annular air inlet 22, enters the ventilation turbine blades 72 through the gap between the housing 1 and the mounting bracket 3, and is then pressurized by the ventilation turbine blades 72 before being discharged from the exhaust port 13.

[0030] Simultaneously, this embodiment can also activate both the blowing and ventilation functions. The blowing motor 41 and the ventilation motor 71 start at the same time, and the blowing turbine blades 42 and the ventilation turbine blades 72 rotate in opposite directions. After the air enters through the annular air inlet 22, part of the air flows into the first air guide shroud 61, is pressurized by the blowing turbine blades 42, and is blown out from the air outlet 25 of the panel 2; the remaining air flows into the ventilation turbine blades 72, is pressurized by the ventilation turbine blades 72, and is discharged from the exhaust port 13. This working mode is suitable for application scenarios where customers need to ventilate and heat simultaneously.

[0031] Example 2 This embodiment has the same structure as Embodiment 1, except that: this embodiment does not have a blower motor or a ventilation motor; the power component is only a dual-axis motor 9. The output shafts at both ends of the dual-axis motor 9 are respectively equipped with blower turbine blades 42 and ventilation turbine blades 72. A second air guide shroud 63 is installed on the mounting bracket 3, and the dual-axis motor 9 is installed in the middle of the second air guide shroud 63. The outer side of the second air guide shroud 63 is provided with a hollowed-out second ventilation opening 64.

[0032] When blowing air: the dual-axis motor 9 rotates in the forward direction (i.e., the rotation direction matches the air blowing turbine blades), driving the air blowing turbine blades 42 to rotate (at this time, the air exchange turbine blades rotate synchronously, but in different directions, so the air exchange turbine blades do not work). Air enters from the annular air inlet 22, and enters the air blowing turbine blades 42 through the gap between the housing 1 and the mounting bracket 3 and the second ventilation port 64 in the middle of the second air guide shroud 63. After being pressurized by the air blowing turbine blades 42, it flows to the air blowing channel 53 of the heating bracket 51. After being heated by the heating element 52, hot air is blown out from the air outlet 25 between the air outlet 23 and the air guide plate 8.

[0033] During ventilation: the dual-shaft motor 9 rotates in the opposite direction (i.e., the rotation direction matches the ventilation turbine blades), driving the ventilation turbine blades 72 to rotate (at this time, the blowing turbine blades rotate synchronously, but in different directions, so the blowing turbine blades do not work). Air enters from the annular air inlet 22, enters the ventilation turbine blades 72 through the gap between the housing 1 and the mounting bracket 3, and is pressurized by the ventilation turbine blades 72 before being discharged from the exhaust port 13.

[0034] This embodiment allows only one of the two functions, ventilation and air blowing, to be selected; they cannot work simultaneously.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
