[0002] With the development of society and the economy and the acceleration of the pace of life, keeping pets has become an important emotional support and lifestyle for modern people. Providing a suitable warm environment for pets during the cold season is crucial for their health. However, traditional methods of pet heating, such as using ordinary electric blankets, heat lamps, or human heaters, have many limitations and safety hazards. Ordinary electric blankets lack effective temperature control and overheat protection, and prolonged use can easily lead to burns for pets; human heaters have high power and concentrated heating, which can easily cause localized high temperatures and also pose a risk of burns or electric shocks if pets touch them out of curiosity.

[0003] To address these issues, a number of electric heating products specifically designed for pets have emerged on the market. Some of these products use constant-temperature heating elements or low-power heating tubes and are equipped with protective covers to enhance safety. However, their temperature adjustment methods are still mainly mechanical knobs, which cannot achieve precise temperature control and lack remote monitoring capabilities, making it difficult for users to monitor the device's operating status when they are away from home.

[0004] In response to the problems of insufficient intelligence in existing pet heaters, especially the inability to remotely and accurately control temperature, this utility model provides a pet electric heater based on intelligent control and with multiple safety protections.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 7 An electric heater for pets, comprising:

[0043] Casing 100;

[0044] Heating unit 200, the heating unit 200 being disposed within the housing 100;

[0045] A power supply unit 300 is provided for supplying power to the pet electric heater.

[0046] Temperature detection unit 400, the temperature detection unit 400 is used to detect ambient temperature;

[0047] The wireless communication unit 500 is used to interact with the mobile terminal.

[0048] The control unit 600 is electrically connected to the heating unit 200, the power supply unit 300, the temperature detection unit 400, and the wireless communication unit 500, respectively.

[0049] The control unit 600 is configured to: receive control commands from the mobile terminal via the wireless communication unit 500, the control commands including at least a target temperature setting command; control the operating state of the heating unit 200 based on the ambient temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 400 and the target temperature; and send the status information of the pet electric heater to the mobile terminal via the wireless communication unit 500.

[0050] With the above-described structure, during use, the control unit 600, as the system core, works in tandem with the heating unit 200, power supply unit 300, temperature detection unit 400, and wireless communication unit 500 to form a complete intelligent control loop. The wireless communication unit 500 establishes a two-way data channel between the device and a mobile terminal, allowing users to precisely set the target temperature remotely. The temperature detection unit 400 continuously collects ambient temperature data and feeds it back to the control unit 600, forming the basis for closed-loop control. The unique advantage of this intelligent temperature control system is that the control unit 600 adjusts the working state of the heating unit 200 in real time by comparing the difference between the detected temperature and the set temperature, achieving dynamic control from temperature acquisition and data processing to power output. This closed-loop control system can automatically adjust the heating power according to changes in ambient temperature, avoiding the large temperature fluctuations of traditional heaters and ensuring a stable temperature within the heating space, providing a constant and comfortable environment for pets. The remote monitoring function overcomes spatial limitations, allowing users to view the device's operating status, including current temperature, operating mode, and other key parameters, at any time via a mobile terminal. When the device malfunctions, the system proactively pushes status information, allowing users to stay informed about the device's condition. This intelligent control architecture successfully solves the technical bottlenecks of traditional pet heaters, such as inconvenient adjustment, low temperature control accuracy, and lack of remote monitoring. It ensures precise temperature control, provides a convenient remote management experience, and significantly improves the safety and reliability of the device through real-time status monitoring, offering pet owners a more intelligent and reassuring pet heating solution. It should be noted that the power supply unit 300 described in this application is an external power source, and the pet electric heater described in this application is connected to an external power source via an external plug.

[0051] In this embodiment, the wireless communication unit 500 is a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, or a ZigBee module. This modular design allows the device to select the most suitable communication method to access mobile terminals or smart home networks according to different application scenarios and user needs. Specifically, the introduction of a Wi-Fi module enables the heater to directly connect to the home wireless LAN, achieving true remote control. Even when not at home, users can monitor and adjust the device comprehensively via the internet, completely breaking through geographical limitations. The Bluetooth module provides low-power, fast-connection near-field communication capabilities, particularly suitable for initial device pairing, rapid parameter configuration, and short-range operation, offering unique advantages in connection stability and power consumption control. The ZigBee module configuration allows the heater to integrate into a wider smart home ecosystem, working collaboratively with other ZigBee devices. This multi-protocol compatible communication scheme significantly improves the product's applicability and user experience: it meets users' rigid demand for remote control while providing flexible and economical connection options; it ensures data transmission reliability while maintaining low power consumption. More importantly, the diverse access methods enable this pet heater to adapt to the smart home environments of different users. It is perfectly compatible with both simple direct connection to a mobile phone and complex whole-house smart linkage, greatly expanding the product's application scenarios and market potential.

[0052] In this embodiment, the control unit 600 is configured to: calculate the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature; and execute a closed-loop control algorithm based on the difference to regulate the power of the heating unit 200, so that the ambient temperature approaches and stabilizes at the target temperature. This control strategy achieves dynamic and precise adjustment from temperature sensing to power output. Specifically, the system continuously collects ambient temperature data through the temperature detection unit 400, and the control unit 600 compares it with the target temperature set by the user in real time to calculate a precise temperature deviation value. Based on this difference, the control unit 600 executes an advanced closed-loop control algorithm (such as PID control) to progressively adjust the power of the heating unit 200: when the ambient temperature is significantly lower than the target value, the system automatically increases the heating power to achieve rapid heating; when the temperature approaches the target value, it switches to a fine adjustment mode, gradually reducing the power change amplitude. This closed-loop control mechanism automatically compensates for heat loss from the environment, maintaining a highly stable temperature field and avoiding temperature fluctuations caused by traditional on / off temperature control, providing a continuously comfortable heating environment for pets. Secondly, through precise power matching, it ensures heating efficiency and optimizes energy utilization, avoiding unnecessary power consumption. More importantly, the gentle temperature transition process eliminates discomfort caused by sudden temperature changes, making it particularly suitable for young or senior pets with weaker thermoregulation abilities. This intelligent temperature control method based on differential calculation successfully solves the technical problems of low temperature control accuracy, high energy consumption, and poor comfort in traditional heating equipment, ensuring stable heating effects while improving the equipment's economy and user experience.

[0053] In this embodiment, the control unit 600 is further configured to: receive timing instructions from a mobile terminal via the wireless communication unit 500; and control the heating unit 200 to turn on or off within a specified time period according to the timing instructions. The control unit 600 receives timing instructions from the mobile terminal via the wireless communication unit 500 and precisely controls the heating unit 200 to turn on and off within the specified time period, thus constructing a complete intelligent timing control system. This timing control mechanism allows users to preset the heater's operating time according to their pet's daily routine. For example, setting the on time when the owner is away at work ensures the pet receives warmth when alone; or setting the off time at night avoids energy waste caused by running all night. The system operates automatically according to the preset time period without manual intervention, ensuring the pet receives timely warmth when needed while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption. More importantly, this timing function works in conjunction with the temperature control function, forming comprehensive management in both time and space: during the set operating time period, the system maintains precise temperature control; while during non-operating periods, it automatically enters a low-power standby state. This intelligent operation and management not only extends the lifespan of the equipment but also significantly improves household electrical safety, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring long-term, regular heating for pets. This timed control system successfully addresses the technical shortcomings of traditional heaters, which require manual operation and cannot automatically start and stop on demand. It achieves intelligent energy management while ensuring timely and regular heating for pets, providing modern pet-owning families with a more convenient, economical, and safe heating solution.

[0054] In this embodiment, the control unit 600 is further configured to generate fault information and cut off the power supply to the heating unit 200 when any one of the parameters—ambient temperature, heating unit 200 temperature, or power supply unit 300 operating current—exceeds a preset safety threshold. Simultaneously, the control unit 600 sends the fault information as status information to the mobile terminal via the wireless communication unit 500. The control unit 600 constructs a comprehensive multi-layered safety protection system by real-time monitoring three key parameters: ambient temperature, heating unit 200 temperature, and power supply unit 300 operating current. When any parameter exceeds the preset safety threshold, the system immediately activates a three-level response mechanism: generating detailed fault information, cutting off the power supply to the heating unit 200, and simultaneously sending a real-time alarm to the mobile terminal via the wireless communication unit 500. This multi-layered safety protection mechanism achieves comprehensive safety assurance through multi-parameter cross-monitoring. Ambient temperature monitoring prevents overheating of the space, heating unit 200 temperature monitoring eliminates the risk of overheating of the device itself, and operating current monitoring effectively prevents circuit overload and short-circuit accidents, fundamentally eliminating the limitations of traditional heaters with only single temperature protection. Secondly, the system's instant power-off mechanism can cut off the power supply in a very short time after detecting an anomaly, effectively preventing the further escalation of the fault and minimizing the probability of safety accidents such as fires. More importantly, the system upgrades passive protection to proactive safety warning. The remote alarm function, achieved through the wireless communication unit 500, allows users to be aware of the device's abnormal status immediately and take timely measures even when not on-site, avoiding the lag of traditional devices that are only detected when obvious faults occur. This closed-loop safety system of "monitoring-power-off-alarm" not only effectively protects the pet's life but also safeguards family property, significantly improving product reliability and user safety. This safety protection system successfully solves the technical shortcomings of traditional pet heaters, such as single safety protection and lack of early warning mechanisms. It achieves proactive safety protection for the device and establishes a real-time communication channel between the user and the device, setting a new safety standard for smart pet appliances.

[0055] In this embodiment, the heating unit 200 includes a PTC ceramic heating element 210 and an axial fan 220; the axial fan 220 is located on the air inlet side of the PTC ceramic heating element 210. With this structure, in use, the heating unit 200 employs a synergistic combination of the PTC ceramic heating element 210 and the axial fan 220, with the axial fan 220 positioned on the air inlet side of the PTC ceramic heating element 210, forming a highly efficient heat generation and distribution system. First, the axial fan 220's placement on the air inlet side actively draws in ambient cold air, ensuring it is fully heated as it passes through the PTC ceramic heating element 210, and then evenly distributes the hot air throughout the heating space. This forced convection significantly improves heat exchange efficiency, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional natural convection heaters, such as slow heating and uneven temperature distribution. Second, the PTC ceramic heating element 210 itself has a temperature self-limiting characteristic, which, combined with the continuous airflow from the axial fan 220, effectively prevents localized overheating, improving equipment safety and extending the lifespan of the heating element. Meanwhile, this combined design enables rapid heat diffusion, allowing pets to feel warm in a short time, making it particularly suitable for quickly raising the ambient temperature in cold environments. More importantly, the axial fan 220 located on the air intake side also plays a role in auxiliary heat dissipation. After the device stops heating, it can continue to run to reduce the residual temperature of the PTC ceramic heating element 210, further enhancing the system's safety performance. This coordinated design of heating and airflow successfully solves the technical problems of traditional pet heaters, such as low thermal efficiency, uneven heating, and insufficient safety. It ensures both efficient and comfortable heat output and provides reliable safety guarantees, creating a more comfortable and safer heating environment for pets.

[0056] In this embodiment, the housing 100 is made of high-temperature resistant ABS or PC flame-retardant plastic. The front of the housing 100 is provided with an air outlet grille 110, and the rear of the housing 100 is provided with an air inlet grille 120. The axial fan 220 is located between the PTC ceramic heating element 210 and the air inlet grille 120. Through the selection of the above materials and the design of the structure, during use, firstly, the high-temperature resistant flame-retardant plastic housing 100 fundamentally eliminates the safety hazard of fire caused by overheating of the equipment, providing reliable protection for long-term operation. The front and rear air inlet grilles 120 and air outlet grilles 110 together form an efficient air circulation channel, ensuring smooth flow of hot and cold air. Secondly, the axial fan 220, located between the heating element and the air inlet grille 120, directly draws in ambient cold air from the air inlet grille 120, forming a stable airflow and delivering it to the PTC ceramic heating element 210 for heating. This design not only optimizes the airflow path and reduces flow resistance but also ensures uniform air distribution entering the heating element, thereby improving the overall heat exchange efficiency. More importantly, this structure forms a complete thermal circulation system of "forced air intake - uniform heating - smooth air exhaust." Cold air enters through the rear air intake grille 120, is pressurized by the axial fan 220, and then evenly passes through the PTC ceramic heating element 210. The heated air is then smoothly discharged from the front air exhaust grille 110, achieving minimal heat loss and maximum thermal energy utilization throughout the process. Simultaneously, the grille structure also serves a protective function, effectively preventing foreign objects from entering the equipment and affecting its normal operation.

[0057] In this embodiment, an air outlet channel 700 is provided between the air outlet side of the PTC ceramic heating element 210 and the air outlet grille 110. With this structure, during use, the air outlet channel 700 serves as a buffer transition zone connecting the heating area and the external environment, providing a regular guiding path for the flow of hot air. This allows the hot air heated by the PTC ceramic heating element 210 to flow orderly towards the air outlet grille 110, effectively avoiding disordered diffusion and eddy current generation, and significantly improving the uniformity and stability of the airflow organization. Secondly, the air outlet channel 700 forms an effective heat accumulation area, allowing the hot air to be fully mixed and uniform during transport, avoiding the temperature stratification phenomenon caused by direct air outlet in traditional designs. This structure reduces heat transfer to other components inside the device during this process, improving thermal efficiency, and ensures a more uniform temperature distribution of the hot air delivered from the air outlet grille 110, providing a comfortable and stable heating experience for pets. Meanwhile, the air outlet duct 700 physically isolates the high-temperature heating zone from external surfaces that can be touched. Even during prolonged operation, the temperature of the outer surface of the air outlet grille 110 remains within a safe range, effectively preventing the risk of burns from accidental contact by pets. Furthermore, the well-organized duct design reduces fan noise, minimizing noise interference during operation. The air outlet duct 700 structure successfully solves the technical problems of uneven hot air distribution, low thermal efficiency, and the risk of burns inherent in traditional heating equipment, significantly improving the safety performance and user comfort of the device.

[0058] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air outlet channel 700 near the air outlet grille 110 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the end near the air outlet side of the PTC ceramic heating element 210. With this structure, during use, firstly, when hot air enters the channel inlet with a smaller cross-section from the heating element outlet, the airflow velocity is high; as the channel cross-section gradually expands, the airflow velocity smoothly decreases, and the dynamic pressure is converted into static pressure. This process not only effectively reduces airflow resistance but also significantly improves the uniformity and stability of the airflow, avoiding the turbulence and local eddies that are easily generated in traditional equal-section channels. Secondly, the gradually expanding structure allows the hot air to fully diffuse and mix during transport, ensuring uniform heat distribution and fundamentally solving the technical problems of uneven airflow temperature and localized high-temperature points in traditional heaters. Simultaneously, the gradual reduction in airflow velocity also brings the additional advantage of noise control, eliminating the whistling sound generated by the collision of high-speed airflow with the grille, creating a quieter heating environment for pets. Meanwhile, this gradually expanding design significantly increases the effective heating range by increasing the air outlet area, allowing hot air to cover a wider area, unlike traditional narrow-outlet designs that create a concentrated hot air stream. This not only improves the uniformity of heating in the space but also prevents pets from avoiding the heater due to strong airflow, greatly enhancing the product's practicality and user experience. This gradually expanding air outlet 700 design successfully solves the technical shortcomings of traditional pet heaters, such as uneven airflow, excessive noise, and limited heating range. It optimizes the hot air distribution, improves user comfort, and expands the effective heating area without increasing energy consumption, demonstrating the innovative application of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in pet appliance design.

[0059] In this embodiment, a wall-mounted mounting component 800 is also included. The wall-mounted mounting component 800 includes a first sliding connection portion 810 and a wall-mounted mounting portion 820. The housing 100 has a second sliding connection portion 130. The first sliding connection portion 810 is slidably connected to the second sliding connection portion 130, so that the housing 100 is connected to the wall-mounted mounting component 800. The wall-mounted mounting component 800 is fixedly connected to the wall via the wall-mounted mounting portion 820. With this structure, the sliding connection design allows the housing 100 and the wall-mounted mounting component 800 to be installed and disassembled with a simple push-pull motion, without the need for additional tools, greatly improving the convenience of installation and maintenance. When cleaning or moving the device, the user only needs to gently push the housing 100 upwards to achieve quick separation, completely solving the technical problem of cumbersome disassembly of traditional wall-mounted products. Furthermore, the wall-mounted mounting portion 820, pre-fixed to the wall, provides an extremely stable supporting foundation for the heater. This installation method not only effectively saves floor space and avoids the risk of collisions while pets are active, but more importantly, by suspending and fixing the device in place, it significantly reduces the possibility of pets knocking it over while playing, greatly improving safety and reliability. At the same time, this wall-mounted system achieves precise and repeatable installation positioning. After the initial installation, the sliding connection structure allows for precise placement of the device, and subsequent installation and removal processes maintain the original installation position, avoiding the hassle of repeated positioning. This design expands the product's application scenarios, improves space utilization efficiency, and ensures stable operation through reliable fixing, creating a safer and more comfortable living environment for pets.
