AI Technical Summary
Conventional radiant heaters are limited in their ability to heat large areas efficiently, requiring multiple units to cover extensive regions, which is costly and inefficient.
A temperature-control radiator with a motor-driven adjusting device and a person/object recognition system that aligns a reflector to direct thermal radiation towards detected individuals or objects, optimizing heating or cooling based on their positions.
Achieves targeted heating or cooling with reduced energy consumption and fewer units by automatically adjusting the reflector to follow person or object movements, enhancing efficiency and reducing operational costs.

Abstract
Claims
[1] A temperature control radiator (1) in the form of a heating radiator or cooling radiator, which is designed to be set up in a mobile manner or to be installed in a fixed position in order to heat or cool persons or objects towards which it is directed, comprising a heating and / or cooling source (2), a reflector (3) which receives the heating and / or cooling source (2), is provided with a reflective surface on its inside and is open at the front, and is designed to emit heat radiation emitted by the heating and / or cooling source (2) in a directed manner, in particular substantially in parallel, and a holding device (5) on which the reflector (3) is received, characterized byin that the temperature control radiator (1) comprises an adjustment device (6) which is motor-driven via at least one motor (10), which is arranged between the holding device (5) and the reflector (3) and is designed to move the reflector (3) relative to the holding device (5), a person and / or object recognition device (7) which is designed to detect the position of persons and / or objects located in front of the reflector (3), and a control unit (8) which is designed to control the at least one motor (10) based on position data detected by the person and / or object recognition device (7) in such a way that the reflector (3) is automatically aligned to positions detected by the person and / or object recognition device (7). [2] Tempering radiator (1) according to claim 1, characterized by that the reflector (3) has a parabolic cross-section. [3] Tempering radiator (1) according to claim 2, characterized bythat the reflector (3) has the shape of a paraboloid and the heating and / or cooling source (2) is essentially point-shaped and positioned at the focal point of the reflector (3). [4] Tempering radiator (1) according to claim 2, characterized by that the reflector (3) has the shape of a groove and the heating and / or cooling source (2) is substantially linear and positioned at the focal point of the reflector (3). [5] Tempering radiator (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the holding device (5) is designed as a tripod which is designed to set up the temperature control radiator (1) on a surface, or as a mounting plate for fastening the temperature control radiator (1) to a wall or ceiling. [6] Tempering radiator (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized bythat the person and / or object recognition device (7) has a camera (13) and / or an infrared sensor and the controller (8) has suitable software for evaluating the data or signals provided by the camera (13) and / or the infrared sensor. [7] Tempering radiator (1) according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the adjusting device (6) is designed such that it enables rotation and pivoting of the reflector (3).
