Abstract
A warmer includes a main housing, a heating assembly and a control module. The main housing has a receiving cavity. The heating assembly includes a top heating plate and am integrated heating module. The integrated heating module includes a heating element and an insulating member assembled to form an integrated structure. The insulating member is connected to a bottom side of the heating element for preventing excessive heat from reaching the receiving cavity. The heating element is electrically connected to a power source for generating heat.
Claims17
A warmer, comprising:
- a main housing having a receiving cavity;
- a heating assembly, which comprises:
- a top heating plate secure on a top surface of said main housing;
- and
- an integrated heating module which comprises a heating element and an insulating member assembled to form an integrated structure, said insulating member being provided on a bottom side of said heating element for preventing excessive heat from reaching said receiving cavity, said heating element being connected to a power source for generating heat;
- and
- a control module received in said receiving cavity, said control module comprising a PCB and a control circuitry implemented on said PCB, said PCB being electrically connected to said integrated heating module for controlling an operation thereof.
A warmer, being manufacturing by a manufacturing method which comprises the steps of:
- (a) providing a main housing having a top housing member and a bottom housing member, and an internal supporting frame;
- (b) connecting a conductive member, a heating element and an insulating member in a one-piece structure to form an integrated heating module, in such a manner that said heating element is sandwiched between said conductive member and said insulating member;
- (c) connecting a base frame underneath said integrated heating module;
- (d) mounting a top heating plate, said integrated heating module and said base frame on said top housing member and said internal supporting frame;
- (e) mounting a PCB 31 on said internal supporting frame, wherein said PCB has a control circuitry implemented thereon, said PCB being electrically connected to said integrated heating module;
- (f) mounting a control panel on said main housing and said internal supporting frame, said control panel comprising a control button and a display, said control button and said display being exposed to an exterior of said main housing through at least one control slot formed thereon;
- and
- (g) connecting said bottom housing member to said top housing member.
