This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202223539138.8 filed Dec. 29, 2022, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

At present, the air blown out by the fan of an existing fan heater is the rotating columnar air, and heat dissipation fins of the heating body are parallel to the axis of the fan. After the rotating air hits the fins of the heating body, large part of the columnar air will be lost, resulting in a relatively low air outlet speed of the whole machine, a relatively short hot air blowing distance and a small effective heating range. Moreover, with the increase of the power of the fan, the volume of the rotating outlet air increases greatly, and after the rotating air hits the heating body, a large number of vortexes are generated, resulting in a significant increase in the noise of the whole machine, and thus affecting the user experience.
Therefore, an air guide structure and a fan heater are required to solve the preceding problems.

As shown in
Specifically, the air guide structure in the embodiment includes a frame body 100 and at least three air guide vanes 200, and the at least three air guide vanes 200 are arranged in an annular array on an inner side wall of the frame body 100. Exemplarily, referring to
With continued reference to
Further, the air outlet channel 701 of the heating body 700 is surrounded and formed by fins of the heating body 700, and the air blown out after passing the air guide structure is substantially parallel to the fins of the heating body 700, so that the heating body 700 can dissipate heat with no dead spot, and the situation of local overheating is avoided. Therefore, the heating body 700 has relatively high heat dissipation efficiency, so that the problem of local overheating of the heating body 700 is effectively solved, and the service life of the fan heater is extended. In addition, since the rotating air blown out by the axial flow fan 600 is guided to be the approximately parallel air, vortexes near the heating body 700 can be reduced, so that the noise is reduced. Since the air speed is relatively high, under the same heating power, the fan can be used at a reduced rotational speed, so that the noise of the whole machine can be further reduced, bring the good user experience.
In an optional solution, an air guide surface 101 is disposed on the frame body 100, the air guide surface 101 is disposed as a planar surface or a curved surface, and an air outlet end of the air guide surface 101 is parallel to the air outlet channel 701 of the heating body 700. In this manner, the air guide surface 101 can limit the air outlet flow of the whole axial flow fan 600 to the air outlet channel 701 of the heating body 700 to avoid air leakage (that is, the air outlet flow is blown to a place other than the heating body 700). Therefore, the air guide surface 101 of the frame body 100 can also serve as a guiding role, so that most of the air generated by the axial flow fan 600 can enter the heating body 700 and then pass the heating body 700 to be sent out from the whole machine, which is beneficial to improving the air speed and the air volume of the whole machine.
The embodiment further provides a fan heater. As shown in
Further, each fan blade 630 includes a fan blade leading edge 631 and a fan blade trailing edge 632, the fan blade leading edge 631 is inclined to one side relative to the fan blade trailing edge 632, and the inclination direction of the fan blade leading edge 631 relative to the fan blade trailing edge 632 is opposite to the inclination direction of the air guide vane leading edge 203 of the air guide vane 200 of the air guide structure relative to the air guide vane trailing edge 204 of the air guide vane 200 of the air guide structure. Through this arrangement, the air guide structure can guide the air generated by the fan to a right direction, thereby reducing the rotational speed component of the rotating air.
More preferably, one side of the frame body 100 of the air guide structure is disposed against the axial flow fan 600, and the frame body 100 is sealingly connected to the axial flow fan 600; the other side of the frame body 100 is disposed against the heating body 700, and the frame body 100 is sealingly connected to the heating body 700. Through this arrangement, the air leakage of the whole machine is avoided, the air outlet volume and the air outlet speed of the whole machine can be further improved, the heating range is expanded, and the heating power of the fan heater is relatively high; moreover, the noise can also be reduced, so that the user experience is improved.
The embodiment provides an air guide structure as shown in
The embodiment further provides a fan heater. The fan heater includes an axial flow fan 600, a heating body 700 and the preceding air guide structure. The air guide structure is disposed between the axial flow fan 600 and the heating body 700. The air guide structure includes a frame body 100, air guide vanes 200 and a central shaft 300. A fixed end 201 of each air guide vane 200 is fixed on an air guide surface 101 of the frame body 100, and an extended end 202 of each air guide vane 200 is fixed on the central shaft 300. Through the central shaft 300, the stability of fixing the air guide vane 200 is improved, the structure of the whole air guide structure is stable, the mechanical strength, the tensile strength and the compressive strength are relatively high, and thus the external shock can be resisted. Moreover, the air guide vanes 200 of the air guide structure can guide the air generated by the axial flow fan 600 to a right direction, thereby reducing the rotational speed component of the rotating air. Therefore, the air outlet distance, the air outlet speed and the air outlet volume are improved, the noise is relatively low, and the heating effect is good.

Compared with the air guide structure in embodiment one, the air guide structure in the embodiment includes a inner air guide ring 400, where the extended end 202 of each air guide vane 200 is connected to the inner air guide ring 400. Through the inner air guide ring 400, not only the fixing effect of the air guide vane 200 can be improved so that the extended end 202 of the air guide vane 200 is prevented from shaking and generating noise when the air speed is relatively high, but also part of the divergent air blown out by the axial flow fan 600 can be gathered at the axis of the axial flow fan 600 so that the air blown out by the axial flow fan 600 is corrected. Therefore, the air that cannot be blown out originally can be blown to the outside of the fan heater, and thus the air outlet volume of the whole machine is improved; with the increase of the air volume, the air speed attenuation of the whole machine is weakened, so that the air speed of the whole machine is improved, and the better heating effect is achieved.

Through the inner air guide ring 400, part of the divergent air can be corrected to be gathered at the axis of the axial flow fan 600, so that the air speed attenuation of the whole machine is reduced, and thus the air speed of the whole machine is improved to achieve the better heating effect.
