[0037] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides a heater 100, including a mesh cover assembly 10, a shell assembly 20, a charcoal-fire-like assembly 30, and a heating element 40. The mesh cover assembly 10 includes a non-air outlet area 12 and an air outlet area 11 with an air outlet. The charcoal-fire-like assembly 30 and the heating element 40 are detachably assembled to the mesh cover assembly 10 and together with the mesh cover assembly 10 to form a main assembly. The heater 100 also includes a shell assembly 20, which is detachably connected to the mesh cover assembly 10 in the main assembly and houses the charcoal-fire-like assembly 30 and the heating element 40 between them. The charcoal-fire-like assembly 30 is correspondingly disposed to the non-air outlet area 12, and the heating element 40 is correspondingly disposed to the air outlet area 11.

[0038] It should be noted that during use, the heater 100 has a front and a rear end along the air outlet direction. The mesh assembly 10 is located at the front end of the air outlet direction, meaning that the airflow inside the heater 100 ultimately exits from the air outlet area 11 of the mesh assembly 10. The non-air outlet area 12 refers to the area where no airflow exits. The non-air outlet area 12 can serve as a visual effect area, a control area, or a blank area. The visual effect area can display visual effects such as simulated charcoal fire. The blank area simply has a panel structure within it. The control area can have operation buttons, parameter displays, etc., within it.

[0039] The shell assembly 20 refers to the outer shell of the heater 100. The shell assembly 20 is detachably connected to the mesh cover assembly 10 and is located at the rear end of the mesh cover assembly 10 along the air outlet direction. In this way, the shell assembly 20 and the mesh cover assembly 10 can together enclose and form a receiving cavity 13, which houses the various functional components of the heater 100. The mesh cover assembly 10 and the shell assembly 20 protect the components inside the receiving cavity 13.

[0040] The charcoal fire simulation component 30 can simulate the visual effect of charcoal burning. The charcoal fire simulation component 30 is detachably connected to the mesh cover component 10, and the charcoal fire simulation component 30 is positioned in the corresponding position of the non-air outlet area 12. At this time, the non-air outlet area 12 is the visual effect area. The charcoal fire simulation component 30 presents the visual effect of charcoal burning in the non-air outlet area 12, which works in conjunction with the hot air blown out of the air outlet area 11. This not only makes it more beautiful, but also enhances the user experience from different sensory perspectives.

[0041] Furthermore, the heating element 40 refers to a component capable of heating the airflow, thereby enabling the heater 100 to blow out hot air. The heating element 40 is detachably connected to the mesh assembly 10 and is positioned corresponding to the air outlet area 11, so that the airflow can be heated by the heating element 40 to form hot air, which is then smoothly blown out from the air outlet.

[0042] Through the above structure, the heater 100 is mainly divided into several modular units, including the mesh cover assembly 10, the shell assembly 20, the charcoal fire-like assembly 30, and the heating element 40. Each modular unit can be pre-installed. Then, the charcoal fire-like assembly 30, the heating element 40, and the shell assembly 20 are sequentially assembled onto the mesh cover assembly 10, realizing the modular and standardized assembly of the entire heater 100, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing production costs.

[0043] In some embodiments, the mesh cover assembly 10 includes an annular mesh cover 14 and a mesh cover support 15. An air outlet area 11 and a non-air outlet area 12 are formed on the mesh cover support 15, and the air outlet area 11 is disposed around the outer periphery of the non-air outlet area 12. An air outlet is provided on the annular mesh cover 14.

[0044] Specifically, the mesh cover bracket 15 can be configured as a ring-shaped bracket structure, and its shape matches that of the ring-shaped mesh cover 14, so that the ring-shaped mesh cover 14 can be better fixed to the mesh cover bracket 15. The middle area of ​​the mesh cover bracket 15 is formed as a non-air outlet area 12, while the outer periphery of the middle area is formed as an air outlet area 11, and the ring-shaped mesh cover 14 is placed in the air outlet area 11.

[0045] An air outlet is provided on the annular mesh cover 14. The air outlet can be a whole or composed of several openings, as long as they are evenly distributed on the annular mesh cover 14.

[0046] Thus, through the cooperation of the annular mesh cover 14 and the mesh cover support 15, an annular air outlet area 11 is formed, and a non-air outlet area 12 is formed inside the annular air outlet area 11. When hot air is blown out of the air outlet area 11, the non-air outlet area 12 can form a simulated charcoal burning effect through the simulated charcoal fire component 30, which has an effect on both physical sensation and visual perception, thereby improving the comfort of use.

[0047] In some embodiments, the inner and outer circumferences of the annular mesh cover 14 are provided with buckles 16, and the mesh cover bracket 15 is provided with a first slot 17, and the buckles 16 are engaged with the first slot 17.

[0048] Specifically, the annular mesh cover 14 has an inner diameter and an outer diameter due to its hollow design, and the inner diameter and outer diameter form the inner circumference and outer circumference of the annular mesh cover 14, respectively.

[0049] Buckles 16 are provided on the inner and outer circumferences of the annular mesh cover 14, wherein the buckles 16 can be foldable flap buckles. At the same time, a first slot 17 is provided on the mesh cover bracket 15, and the annular mesh cover 14 can be fixed to the first slot 17 on the mesh cover bracket 15 by the flap buckles, thereby realizing the quick connection between the annular mesh cover 14 and the mesh cover bracket 15.

[0050] The above structure not only enables quick connection between the annular mesh cover 14 and the mesh cover bracket 15, improving assembly efficiency, but also facilitates cleaning of the annular mesh cover 14 and inspection of internal components such as heating elements within the mesh cover bracket 15 due to the detachable connection between the annular mesh cover 14 and the mesh cover bracket 15.

[0051] In some embodiments, the mesh cover assembly 10 further includes a microphone 18 and a receiving window 19. A connection hole (not shown) is provided on the mesh cover bracket 15, and connecting ribs are provided in the connection hole and / or on the receiving window 19 to fix the receiving window 19 in the connection hole. A voice hole (not shown) is also provided on the mesh cover bracket 15, and the microphone 18 is installed in the voice hole.

[0052] Specifically, during the assembly process, the receiving window 19 and the mesh cover bracket 15 can be connected by interference fit through connecting ribs and connecting holes, thereby fixing the receiving window 19 on the mesh cover bracket 15, and then the annular mesh cover 14 can be assembled onto the mesh cover bracket 15.

[0053] Furthermore, the mesh cover bracket 15 is also provided with a voice hole. Ribs can be set inside the voice hole, and then the microphone 18 is installed into the voice hole. The microphone 18 is pre-tightened by interference fit through the ribs inside the voice hole.

[0054] Understandably, by setting up the receiver window 19 and the microphone 18, the offline voice function of the heater 100 can be realized, thereby making the operation of the heater 100 more intelligent.

[0055] In some embodiments, the simulated charcoal fire assembly 30 includes a display panel 31, a simulated charcoal fire structure 32, and a light-shielding member 33. The simulated charcoal fire structure 32 and the light-shielding member 33 are detachably mounted on the display panel 31, and the light-shielding member 33 is at least partially located above the simulated charcoal fire structure 32. The display panel 31 is connected to the mesh assembly 10 by a plug-in connection.

[0056] Specifically, the light-shielding element 33 can be, but is not limited to, set to a semi-transparent state, so that when light shines on the light-shielding element 33, it can provide a visual effect similar to firelight. In order to achieve a good semi-transparent effect, the light transmittance of the light-shielding element 33 can be between 10% and 90%, and can be 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, etc.

[0057] In this design, the light-shielding component 33 is at least partially positioned above the simulated charcoal structure 32. Thus, when the simulated charcoal structure 32 forms a simulated burning charcoal fire, the light-shielding component 33 above provides a sense of light from the flame. Moreover, since its transparency is different from that of the simulated charcoal structure 32, when the light source shines on the light-shielding component 33, it will not cause the light to be too strong and interfere with the softness of the flame's light and shadow, thereby balancing the brightness of the charcoal fire and the hazy feeling of the flame.

[0058] The display panel 31 can display the charcoal fire simulation effect formed by the simulated charcoal fire structure 32 and the light-shielding component 33. Positioning holes are provided at the top and symmetrical left and right positions of the display panel 31. At the same time, the mesh cover bracket 15 is provided with support ribs. The support ribs are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes so that the display panel 31 and the simulated charcoal fire structure 32 and the light-shielding component 33 on it can be fixed together to the mesh cover bracket 15.

[0059] Furthermore, the display panel 31, the simulated charcoal fire structure 32, the light-shielding component 33, and the mesh cover bracket 15 can be fixed together by bolts.

[0060] Through the above structure, the simulated charcoal fire component 30 is pre-installed to form a pre-installed modular unit. Then, through the connection and cooperation between the display panel 31 and the mesh cover component 10, the simulated charcoal fire component 30 is fixed on the mesh cover component 10, thereby realizing the rapid assembly between different modular units.

[0061] In some embodiments, one of the display panel 31 and the simulated charcoal structure 32 is provided with a first positioning post (not shown in the figure), and the other is provided with a first positioning hole (not shown in the figure) that is inserted into the first positioning post. And / or, one of the simulated charcoal structure 32 and the light shield 33 is provided with a second positioning post (not shown in the figure), and the other is provided with a second positioning hole (not shown in the figure) that is inserted into the second positioning post.

[0062] Specifically, two first positioning posts can be set at the tail of the display panel 31, and then a first positioning hole can be set on the simulated charcoal fire structure 32. The first positioning posts and the first positioning holes can be inserted and matched so that the simulated charcoal fire structure 32 can be quickly positioned on the display panel 31.

[0063] Furthermore, two second positioning posts can be set on the top of the simulated charcoal structure 32, and a second positioning hole can be set on the light-shielding member 33. The second positioning posts and the second positioning holes can be inserted and matched so that the light-shielding member 33 can be quickly positioned on the simulated charcoal structure 32.

[0064] Therefore, the quick assembly and connection between the display panel 31 and the simulated charcoal structure 32, as well as between the simulated charcoal structure 32 and the light shield 33, can be achieved through the cooperation between the positioning posts and the positioning holes. The specific positions of the positioning posts and the positioning holes can be adjusted according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0065] Based on this, a screw hole can be opened in the middle of the light-shielding part 33, and then the light-shielding part 33 can be fixed to the simulated charcoal fire structure 32 by bolt connection.

[0066] The above structure enables rapid positioning and connection between the display panel 31 and the simulated charcoal fire structure 32.

[0067] In some embodiments, the simulated charcoal fire assembly 30 further includes a light-emitting element 34 and a reflective element 35. The light-emitting element 34 is used to illuminate the simulated charcoal fire structure 32 and the reflective element 35, and the reflective element 35 is used to reflect light toward the light-shielding element 33. The reflective element 35 is configured to have a tapered width at at least one end in the height direction of the heater 100; and / or, the lower end surface of the light-shielding element 33 is a wavy surface.

[0068] Specifically, the light-emitting element 34 may be, but is not limited to, a light panel, and the reflector 35 may be, but is not limited to, a reflector sheet. The light panel is placed between the light-shielding element 33 and the reflector 35. In this way, the light panel can provide a light source for illuminating the simulated charcoal fire structure 32 and the reflector sheet.

[0069] Furthermore, light can be diffusely reflected or scattered on the light-shielding member 33, only presenting a blurry outline and failing to clearly display the details of the object on the back. That is, when light shines on the light-shielding member 33, it can provide a visual effect similar to firelight.

[0070] In the height direction of the heater 100, at least one end of the reflector 35 is configured to taper in width. The width direction of the reflector 35 is perpendicular to the height direction of the heater 100. In other words, at least one end of the reflector 35 is a pointed tip, and the tip may be rounded.

[0071] The simulated charcoal fire component 30 may include at least two reflectors 35, and all reflectors 35 may be arranged sequentially along the width direction.

[0072] Thus, when the light-emitting component 34 is turned on, some light shines from the front onto the simulated charcoal structure 32, and the effect of charcoal fire can be seen from the front of the whole machine. Some light shines from above onto the surface of the reflector 35. The reflector 35 has the function of reflecting light. Through the reflection of light, the light is reflected onto the rear surface of the light-shielding component 33, which is just above the simulated charcoal fire to present the visual effect of flame. The tapered reflector 35 makes the edge of the reflected light spot blurry and gradually change, simulating the soft transition of the edge of the flame.

[0073] Furthermore, the lower surface of the light-shielding member 33 is wavy. In this way, the scattered light along the lower edge of the light-shielding member 33 forms a staggered light and shadow transition, simulating the irregular jumping at the bottom of the flame and enhancing the dynamic realism.

[0074] By setting up the light-emitting element 34 and the reflective element 35, the simulation effect of charcoal burning can be better achieved, giving people a warm feeling visually.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the heating component 40 includes a heating bracket 41, a first heat insulation member 42, and a second heat insulation member 43. The heating bracket 41 is configured as an annular bracket corresponding to the air outlet area 11, and the heating bracket 41 is snap-fitted into the mesh cover assembly 10. The heating bracket 41 has multiple second slots 44 formed on its outer periphery. One end of the first heat insulation member 42 is inserted into the corresponding second slot 44, and the other end is inserted into the second heat insulation member 43.

[0076] Specifically, the heating bracket 41 is arranged in a ring and matches the air outlet area 11. The first heat insulation element 42 can be a mica ring, and the second heat insulation element 43 can be a mica sheet, and multiple mica sheets can be set according to actual needs.

[0077] During assembly, a mica ring is positioned on the inner circumference of the heating bracket 41, and a second slot 44 is formed on the outer circumference of the heating bracket 41. One end of each mica sheet is inserted into a corresponding second slot 44, and then the other end of the mica sheet is inserted into the corresponding position on the mica ring, so that the mica sheet is snapped into place between the second slot 44 and the mica ring. In this way, all the mica sheets are connected through the mica ring, and all the mica sheets are fixed to the heating bracket 41.

[0078] Furthermore, multiple arc-shaped grooves can be opened on the inner and outer diameters of the mesh cover bracket 15, and then the heating bracket 41 is inserted into each arc-shaped groove to achieve a fixed connection between the heating bracket 41 and the mesh cover bracket 15.

[0079] The above structure allows for the pre-installation of the heating element 40, which is then installed as a whole onto the mesh assembly 10, enabling modular and rapid assembly.

[0080] In some embodiments, the heating component 40 further includes a heating main board 45, which is snapped into position with the heating bracket 41 and fixed to the heating bracket 41 by bolts.

[0081] Specifically, after all the mica sheets are fixed to the heating bracket 41 by the mica ring, the heating main board 45 can be pre-tightened to the heating bracket 41 by the buckle 16, and then the fixed connection between the heating main board 45 and the heating bracket 41 can be achieved by bolt connection.

[0082] The above structure enables rapid positioning and connection between the heating motherboard 45 and the heating bracket 41.

[0083] In some embodiments, the shell assembly 20 and the mesh cover assembly 10 enclose a receiving cavity 13. The heater 100 also includes a motor assembly 50 disposed in the receiving cavity 13. The charcoal fire-like assembly 30 is provided with a rotating fastener (not shown in the figure). The motor assembly 50 is configured to be rotatably fastened into the rotating fastener, and the motor assembly 50 is fixedly connected to the mesh cover assembly 10.

[0084] Specifically, the motor assembly 50 can realize the flow of air, that is, to form an airflow in the receiving cavity 13, and then after being heated by the heating assembly 40, hot air is blown out from the air outlet.

[0085] The motor assembly 50 can be pre-installed and then assembled as a whole with the mesh cover assembly 10. A rotation buckle can be provided between the light shield 33 and the display panel 31. The motor assembly 50 is inserted into the rotation buckle, rotated into place, and then bolted to fix the motor assembly 50 to the mesh cover bracket 15.

[0086] The above structure enables the motor assembly 50 to be quickly positioned on the mesh cover assembly 10, and then the fixed connection between the motor assembly 50 and the mesh cover assembly 10 is achieved by bolt connection, making the assembly process stable and efficient.

[0087] In some embodiments, the motor assembly 50 includes a drive motor 51, a motor bracket 52, and a tilt switch 53. The drive motor 51 is fixed to the motor bracket 52 by bolts. The motor bracket 52 has a receiving groove (not shown in the figure) for mounting the tilt switch 53.

[0088] Specifically, the drive motor 51 may include a DC motor and a stepper motor, and the motor assembly 50 may also include end caps, axial fan blades, and other structures. During assembly, the DC motor is first fixed to the motor bracket 52 with screws, and then the lamp board is inserted into the slot on the motor bracket 52, using the interference fit of the slot clearance to achieve fixation.

[0089] Furthermore, one end of the reflector is first inserted into the stepper motor, and the other end is inserted into the opening on the motor bracket 52. Then, the stepper motor is fixed to the motor bracket 52 with screws.

[0090] A receiving groove, modeled after the tilt switch 53, is provided on the motor bracket 52. The tilt switch 53 can be installed into the receiving groove, and then fastened to the motor bracket 52 by the buckle 16 on the end cover to fix the tilt switch 53. The axial fan blade can also be fixed to the DC motor by a nut. In this way, the pre-assembly of the motor assembly 50 is completed.

[0091] With the above structure, the airflow inside the heater 100 can be smoothly realized, and the heater 100 can smoothly output air.

[0092] In some embodiments, the shell assembly 20 includes a shell 21, a display panel 22 and a display panel support 23, the display panel 22 and the display panel support 23 are snapped together, the display panel support 23 and the shell 21 are snapped together, and the shell 21 is inserted and fixed to the mesh assembly 10.

[0093] Specifically, during the assembly process, the display panel 22 can first be fastened to the display panel bracket 23 by the buckle 16, then the display panel 22 can be fixed to the housing 21 by the buckle 16 on the housing 21, and finally the fixed connection between the display panel 22, the display panel bracket 23 and the housing 21 can be achieved by screws.

[0094] Furthermore, by treating the outer casing 21, display panel 22, and display panel bracket 23 as a whole, inserting the outer casing 21 into the mesh cover bracket 15 and supporting it through the folded edges of the mesh cover bracket 15, a fixed connection between the outer casing 21, display panel 22, display panel bracket 23, and mesh cover bracket 15 can be achieved.

[0095] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the shell assembly 20 further includes a rear shell 24 and a support foot 25, with the support foot 25 and the rear shell 24 being connected in a mating manner, and the rear shell 24 being fixedly connected to the outer shell 21. The rear shell 24 has an air inlet 26 communicating with the receiving cavity 13, and the air inlet 26 is correspondingly positioned with respect to the non-air outlet area 12.

[0096] Specifically, the rear shell 24, the outer shell 21, and the mesh assembly 10 together form a receiving cavity 13, and an air inlet 26 is opened in the middle of the rear shell 24 to allow air to enter. After the air enters the receiving cavity 13 through the air inlet 26, it diffuses outwards along the contour of the rear shell 24, and after being heated by the heating element 40, it is blown out from the annular air outlet.

[0097] The number of support feet 25 can be set to multiple, specifically, three support feet 25. The support feet 25 can be threaded to the rear shell 24 via an adapter or directly threaded to the rear shell 24, so that the heater 100 can be placed stably.

[0098] The rear shell 24 and the outer shell 21 can be quickly positioned by the snap-fit ​​16 and then fixedly connected by bolts.

[0099] According to one or more embodiments, when this application is used in practice, the mesh assembly 10, shell assembly 20, imitation charcoal fire assembly 30, heating assembly 40 and motor assembly 50 are first pre-assembled to form multiple modular units.

[0100] During the pre-assembly of the mesh cover assembly 10, the receiving window 19 is first fixed to the mesh cover bracket 15 by the interference fit between the connecting ribs and the connecting holes. Then, the buckles 16 on the annular mesh cover 14 are inserted into the corresponding first slots 17 on the mesh cover bracket 15 to fix the annular mesh cover 14 to the mesh cover bracket 15. Finally, the microphone 18 is installed into the voice port, thus completing the assembly of the mesh cover assembly 10.

[0101] When the simulated charcoal fire component 30 is pre-installed, the positioning holes of the display panel 31 are inserted into the support ribs on the mesh cover bracket 15 to achieve a fixed connection between the display panel 31 and the mesh cover bracket 15. Then, the display panel 31 is connected to the simulated charcoal fire structure 32 through the insertion of the first positioning post into the first positioning hole, and the light-shielding member 33 is connected to the simulated charcoal fire structure 32 through the insertion of the second positioning post into the second positioning hole.

[0102] During pre-installation of the heating assembly 40, one end of each mica sheet is inserted into the second slot 44 of the heating bracket 41, and then the other end of each mica sheet is inserted into the mica ring to fix all the mica sheets. Further, the heating main board 45 is connected to the heating bracket 41 via clips 16, and then bolts are used to secure the heating main board 45 to the heating bracket 41.

[0103] During pre-assembly of the motor assembly 50, the DC motor is first fixed to the motor bracket 52 with screws. Then, the lamp plate is inserted into the slot on the motor bracket 52, using an interference fit within the slot for fixation. Further, one end of the reflector is first inserted into the stepper motor, and the other end is inserted into the opening on the motor bracket 52. The stepper motor is then fixed to the motor bracket 52 with screws. The motor bracket 52 has a receiving slot that conforms to the shape of the tilt switch 53. The tilt switch 53 can be inserted into the receiving slot and then secured to the motor bracket 52 using the clips 16 on the end cover. The axial fan blades can also be fixed to the DC motor with nuts.

[0104] Finally, the housing assembly 20 is pre-assembled. First, the display panel 22 is fastened to the display panel bracket 23 using clips 16. Then, the display panel 22 is fixed to the housing 21 using clips 16 on the housing 21. Finally, screws can be used to secure the display panel 22, the display panel bracket 23, and the housing 21. Further, the support feet 25 are threaded onto the rear housing 24. Then, the rear housing 24 and the housing 21 are quickly positioned using clips 16, and finally, bolts are used to secure the connection between them.

[0105] After the modular units are pre-assembled, the charcoal fire-like component 30, the heating component 40, the motor component 50, and the shell component 20 are sequentially installed onto the mesh cover component 10 to complete the assembly of the heater 100.
