The infrared heater chip 222 is disposed on a first side surface of the heater plate body 221, and the first side surface faces the support plate 210 when the infrared heater plate 220 is in a closed state.

Optionally, the shape and size of the heating plate body 221 are matched with those of the support plate 210, so that the infrared heating plate 200 completely covers the support plate 210 in a closed state, thereby protecting the infrared heating sheet 222 and preventing dust from entering. Optionally, the heating plate body 221 is made of an insulating material.

Optionally, the infrared heating sheet 222 emits heat and infrared rays after being powered on, so as to convert electric energy into heat energy and light energy, thereby heating the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 110.

Optionally, the included angle is in the range of 0 ° to 150 °. The driving means 240 drives the infrared heating plate 220 to rotate about the hinge 230 in a first direction, i.e., clockwise, until the infrared heating plate 220 is covered on the supporting plate 210.

In some embodiments, hinge assembly 230 includes a hinge shaft 231 and a connecting plate 232. And a hinge shaft 231 rotatably disposed at the outer edge 211 of the support plate 210 and connected to a driving end of the driving device 240. One end of the connection plate 232 is fixedly disposed on the hinge shaft 231, and the other end is fixedly connected to the infrared heating plate 220.
