[0055] This invention provides an oil-filled radiator that improves the heat dissipation rate and enables rapid heating within the operating space.

[0056] The following is combined Figures 1-9 The technical solution provided by this invention will be described in more detail below.

[0057] The electric oil heater provided by the present invention includes a base 100, a top frame 200, a heating element 300, and a plurality of heating plates 400. The oil pockets of two adjacent heating plates 400 are connected by a rotary sealing structure 500, so that the two adjacent heating plates 400 can rotate relative to each other along the central axis of the oil pockets of the heating plates 400. The oil pockets of two adjacent heating plates 400 are connected by the rotary sealing structure 500 to form an oil circuit body. The heating element 300 is disposed in the oil circuit body.

[0058] In one embodiment, nine treadle plates 400 are provided, and all nine treadle plates 400 are connected by a rotary sealing structure 500. Among them, three treadle plates 400 are fixedly disposed between the base 100 and the top frame 200. For easy distinction, these three treadle plates 400 are referred to as fixed treadle plates 400. Among the three fixed treadle plates 400, three rotatable treadle plates 400 are respectively disposed between two adjacent fixed treadle plates 400. These rotatable treadle plates 400 are referred to as rotating treadle plates 400.

[0059] It should be noted that the number of rotating heat sink plates 400 and fixed heat sink plates 400 can be selectively set according to the heat dissipation effect. The ratio of rotating heat sink plates 400 to fixed heat sink plates 400 can be 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, or 3:1, etc.

[0060] Specifically, a receiving groove 110 is provided on the base 100, and the fixing plate 400 is inserted into the receiving groove 110. A snap-fit ​​groove 210 is provided on the top frame 200, and the snap-fit ​​groove 210 snaps onto the top end of the fixing plate 400. By providing the receiving groove 110 and the snap-fit ​​groove 210 on the base 100 and the top frame 200 respectively, the fixing plate 400 is fixed between the base 100 and the top frame 200.

[0061] A locking structure 600 is provided between the rotating sill plate 400 and the top frame 200. The locking structure 600 includes a fixing post 220 disposed on the top frame 200 and a notch 410 disposed on the rotating sill plate 400. The fixing post 220 is engaged in the notch 410. Under normal circumstances, the rotating sill plate 400 can be locked to the top frame 200 through the cooperation of the notch 410 and the fixing post 220. When it is necessary to increase the heat dissipation, the rotating sill plate 400 can be forcefully moved to disengage the notch 410 from the fixing post 220, thereby unfolding the rotating sill plate 400, increasing the heat dissipation convection area, improving the heat diffusion rate, and enhancing the user experience and comfort.

[0062] Furthermore, the rotary sealing structure 500 includes a fixing part 510, a rotating part 520, and a locking part 530. The first end of the fixing part 510 is rotatably connected to the rotating part 520, and the second end of the fixing part 510 is fixedly connected to the locking part 530. Two adjacent tumbler pieces 400 are respectively connected to the rotating part 520 and the locking part 530, so that the tumbler piece 400 connected to the rotating part 520 can rotate relative to the tumbler piece 400 connected to the locking part 530.

[0063] Specifically, the locking part 530 includes a threaded part 531 and a locking part 532. The locking part 532 is connected to the oil pocket of the tread plate 400. The threaded part 531 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing part 510, and the threaded part 531 abuts the fixing part 510 against the locking part 532. A second sealing structure 540 is provided between the locking part 532 and the fixing part 510. The second sealing structure 540 includes a second O-ring. A second annular groove 511 is provided on the second end face of the fixing part 510. The second O-ring is disposed in the second annular groove 511 to achieve a sealed connection between the second end of the fixing part 510 and the locking part 532. A third sealing structure 550 is provided between the threaded part 531 and the locking part 532. The third sealing structure 550 is a sealing gasket, which provides a double-layer sealing guarantee.

[0064] The rotating part 520 includes a positioning member 521 and a rotating member 522. A limiting groove 523 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating member 522. A positioning protrusion 512 is provided on the first end of the fixed part 510. The positioning protrusion 512 corresponds to the limiting groove 523. The positioning member 521 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the fixed part 510, and the positioning member 521 positions the positioning protrusion 512 on the limiting groove 523, so that the rotating part 520 and the fixed part 510 can only rotate relative to each other within the rotation range of the positioning protrusion 512 and the limiting groove 523.

[0065] Specifically, the positioning protrusion 512 is an arc protrusion with an angle of 10-40 degrees, and the limiting groove 523 is an arc groove with an angle of 40-70 degrees. In practical applications, the rotation range can be selectively set according to the heat dissipation effect.

[0066] For example, in one embodiment, the positioning protrusion 512 is an arc protrusion with an angle of 15°, and the limiting groove 523 is an arc groove with an angle of 60°. In the initial state, the positioning protrusion 512 is located in the middle of the limiting groove 523. When the rotating part 520 rotates relative to the fixed part 510, the limiting groove 523 can rotate 22.5° clockwise or counterclockwise, that is, two adjacent treadmill pieces 400 can rotate relative to each other by 22.5°. If three consecutive treadmill pieces 400 are used as rotating treadmill pieces 400, the maximum rotation angle is 66.75°.

[0067] The positioning protrusion 512 can also be an arc protrusion with an angle of 20°, corresponding to the relative rotation of two adjacent tack pieces 400 by 15°. If three consecutive tack pieces 400 are used as rotating tack pieces 400, the maximum rotation angle is 45°.

[0068] Furthermore, a first sealing structure 560 is provided between the fixing part 510 and the rotating member 522. The first sealing structure 560 includes a first sealing ring 561, a first O-ring 562, and a sealing ring 563. The first sealing ring 561 and the sealing ring 563 are both disposed in a first sealing groove 513 on the fixing part 510. An annular groove 564 is provided on one side of the sealing ring 563, and the sealing ring 563 is fastened to the first sealing ring 561 through the annular groove 564.

[0069] By combining the sealing ring 563 with the first sealing ring 561, the first sealing ring 561 is first installed in the first sealing groove 513, and then the sealing ring 563 is installed. In this case, the first sealing ring 561 will provide a pre-tightening force to the sealing ring 563, so that its sealing surface can be tightly attached to the rotating part 522. In addition, the outer surface of the sealing ring 563 is stepped, and the outer ring surface of the sealing ring 563 is designed as a stepped sealing lip. Under the action of the pre-tightening force provided by the sealing ring 563, the entire outer ring surface will have a certain amount of extrusion deformation, but its structure will not deform or misalign, thus tightly adhering to the inner wall surface of the rotating part 522 to achieve dynamic sealing.

[0070] Furthermore, a first annular groove 514 is provided on the end face of the fixing part 510, and the first O-ring 562 is disposed in the first annular groove 514. The first O-ring 562 achieves a seal between the end face of the fixing part 510 and the rotating part 522, serving as a first basic seal, reducing the sealing pressure of the first sealing ring 561 and the sealing ring 563, and better achieving dynamic sealing.

[0071] Furthermore, in order to improve the circulation of heat transfer oil within the heat exchanger plate 400, a main oil passage 420, a branch oil passage 430, and a return oil passage 440 are provided within the heat exchanger plate 400. The diameter of the main oil passage 420 is larger than the diameter of the return oil passage 440. The main oil passage 420 is connected to the oil reservoir. The branch oil passage 430 is provided on the main oil passage 420, and the branch oil passage 430 radiates to both sides of the main oil passage 420 in a leaf vein-like distribution.

[0072] The return oil passage 440 includes an oil guiding section 441 and a return section 442. The oil guiding section 441 is disposed along the edge of the tumbler plate 400 and connects the ends of the main oil passage 420 and the branch oil passage 430. The return section 442 is disposed inclined downward between the oil guiding section 441 and the oil tank to allow the heat transfer oil in the main oil passage 420 and the branch oil passage 430 to return to the oil tank.

[0073] The oil circuit of the heat sink plate 400 adopts a biomimetic leaf vein design, mimicking the way leaves transport water and nutrients using veins in nature. After the heat transfer oil is heated, its temperature rises, its density changes, and the oil rises along the main oil circuit 420. Then, it diffuses to all parts of the heat sink plate 400 through the branch oil circuits 430, conducting heat and raising the overall temperature of the heat sink plate 400. After the heat transfer oil cools down, it flows back along the return oil circuit 440 around the edge of the heat sink plate 400. Because the diameter of the main oil circuit 420 at the oil reservoir is larger than the diameter of the return oil circuit 440, and because the return oil circuit 440 has a certain slope in its lower return section 442, the heat transfer oil can rise from the main oil circuit 420 and return through the return oil circuit 440, achieving oil circuit circulation.

[0074] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
