Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a PTC ceramic heating component resistant to ultra-high temperatures and its preparation method, specifically to a PTC heating component resistant to ultra-high temperatures for use in confined spaces and its preparation method, belonging to the field of electronic ceramic materials and components. Background Technology

[0002] PTC ceramic material is a semiconducting ferroelectric ceramic that exhibits a step increase in resistance above the Curie temperature due to a phase transition. This excellent resistance-temperature characteristic makes it widely used in various types of constant-temperature heaters. In addition, PTC ceramic heaters have low power consumption and do not require additional temperature control devices, making them ideal for use in confined spaces.

[0003] In PTC (Potentially Transmitted Temperature) heating applications, high-temperature external environments are frequently encountered. For example, when PTCs are used in spaceborne external CCD cameras, they encounter space particle effects (such as gamma-ray bursts) in deep space, accompanied by a sharp rise in ambient temperature. PTCs used in deep-sea exploration devices experience extreme high-temperature environments from deep-sea hydrothermal vents. PTC self-regulating heating belts are commonly used in high-voltage power lines; in cases of abnormal discharge, a significant temperature increase can occur in a short period within a localized area. In automotive and aerospace engines, PTC temperature control devices are commonly used to maintain the liquid fuel temperature within a preset range; however, after fuel combustion, the ambient temperature around the PTC heater also rises sharply. Under these conditions, the ambient temperature can rise to several hundred or even nearly a thousand degrees Celsius.

[0004] Chinese Patent 1 (CN210317528U) discloses a PTC heating temperature control device for automotive fuel engines, solving problems such as engine starting difficulties and engine stalling while driving. Chinese Patent 2 (Publication No. CN101586720A) discloses an oil pipe assembly for connecting to an aircraft engine fuel servo system and its manufacturing method, requiring it to withstand short-term high temperatures of 1100±80℃ without failure. However, neither of these high-temperature application scenarios mentions the operating status of the thermostat itself in high-temperature environments. Whether the thermostat heater can function properly and whether its internal components can withstand high temperatures are currently unreported. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The present invention will be further illustrated by the following embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] This invention proposes a high-temperature resistant and low-power PTC heating element suitable for use in confined spaces. This ultra-high temperature resistant PTC ceramic heating element comprises: a PTC ceramic pillar with a grooved structure, a first metal electrode layer, a second metal electrode layer, a high-temperature resistant wire, an anti-oxidation layer, an insulating thermally conductive adhesive, and a housing. All parts of the ultra-high temperature resistant PTC ceramic heating element provided by this invention are made of high-temperature resistant materials, and the electrode structure design saves space, allowing it to operate in confined environments exceeding 1000°C. Compared with traditional heating elements, the PTC ceramic heating element prepared using the method of this invention is lightweight, consumes less power, is structurally particularly suitable for confined installation spaces, and possesses high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for use in high-temperature environments.

[0030] The first metal electrode layer is coated on the surface of the ceramic column groove, and the second metal electrode layer connects the first metal electrode layer to the high-temperature wire.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the second metal electrode layer can completely fill the ceramic pillar groove and be flush with the groove surface before an anti-oxidation layer is prepared. Alternatively, the second metal electrode layer can partially fill the ceramic pillar groove, and then an anti-oxidation layer is prepared and flush with the groove surface.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method of the ultra-high temperature resistant PTC ceramic heating component includes steps such as PTC ceramic raw material powder formulation control, molding and sintering, machining, electrode fabrication, wire connection, and potting.

[0033] A PTC ceramic material formulation is designed, and a ceramic forming process is used to produce ceramic sheets with a specified Curie temperature. The PTC ceramic material includes, but is not limited to, barium titanate-based PTC ceramics and vanadium oxide-based PTC ceramics. The resulting PTC ceramic sheets have a Curie temperature range of 50-300℃.

[0034] As an example of PTC ceramic sheet preparation, the process includes: weighing raw materials such as BaCO3, TiO2, CaCO3, Y2O3, Nb2O5, SrCO3, Pb3O4, and V2O5 according to a given stoichiometric ratio, ball milling them in a mixing drum, drying them in an oven, and then synthesizing them in a high-temperature electric furnace. SrCO3 and Pb3O4 are Curie temperature modifiers, and one or more can be selectively added as needed. Preferably, the material:ball:anhydrous ethanol ratio during mixing drum ball milling is 1:3:1.5-4.5, the ball milling speed is 550-650 r / min, the ball milling time is 20-24 hours, and the drying temperature after ball milling is 70℃-90℃. The preferred synthesis process conditions are 1140℃-1160℃ for 2 hours. The synthesized base powder and trace dopants Al2O3, SiO2, and MnCO3 are weighed according to a given stoichiometric ratio, placed in a ball mill, dried in an oven, and pre-fired in a high-temperature electric furnace. Preferably, during ball milling, the ratio of material:balls:anhydrous ethanol is 1:3:0.8-1.5, the milling speed is 550-650 r / min, the milling time is 22-24 hours, and the drying temperature after milling is 70℃-90℃. The preferred pre-firing conditions are 900℃-1100℃ for 2 hours. A certain amount of PVA is added to the obtained PTC ceramic raw material to granulate it, and then pressed into a green body; preferably, the PVA addition is in the range of 5wt%-9wt%; the pre-pressing pressure is 1-1.5T / cm during dry pressing. 2 The holding time is 1-5 minutes, and the cold isostatic pressing pressure is 2-5 T / cm. 2 The holding time is 5-10 minutes; the obtained PTC ceramic blank is placed in a high-temperature electric furnace to remove the binder, and then sintered into ceramic components. Preferably, the binder removal process is carried out at 600-800℃ for 2 hours, and the sintering process is carried out at 1300℃-1360℃ for 1-2 hours, followed by natural cooling with the furnace.

[0035] PTC ceramic sheets are machined into ceramic pillars of a specified shape and size, and grooves are cut into the surface according to the groove design. The ceramic pillars are grooved on both sides, and the groove cross-section can be, but is not limited to, trapezoidal, hexagonal, octagonal, etc. The PTC ceramic sheets are machined into ceramic pillars of a specified shape and size using, but is not limited to, wire cutting, CNC machining, etc. In this invention, the groove structure design mainly considers the following points: 1. Space saving: Previously, PTC electrodes were externally plated. In such confined space applications, using a recessed structure to prepare the electrode is beneficial for space utilization; 2. Electrode layer protection: The ceramic body can withstand temperatures above 1000℃, and enclosing most of the electrode layer within the groove is more conducive to protecting the electrode layer; 3. The groove structure facilitates the casting and molding of the second metal electrode layer metal paste and can assist in the positioning of the metal wire using a high-temperature metal wire fixture.

[0036] A first metal electrode layer is fabricated on the surface of a grooved ceramic column. The thickness of the first metal electrode layer can be 0.02-0.5 mm. The first metal electrode layer is prepared using a high-temperature resistant metal material that can withstand temperatures above 1000℃, including but not limited to titanium, platinum, nickel, and their alloys. The preparation methods for the first metal electrode layer include, but are not limited to, electrode processes such as sputtering and ion plating. The first metal electrode layer primarily forms an ohmic contact with the ceramic body. Previously, silver paste was mostly used for screen printing, but this method cannot withstand high temperatures. To solve the problem of both high-temperature resistance and ohmic contact formation, this invention uses high-temperature resistant metals such as titanium, platinum, nickel, and their alloys. For such metals (e.g., platinum), good ohmic contact is not easily formed using screen printing; therefore, vacuum sputtering is used to prepare the electrode, which is beneficial for ohmic contact formation.

[0037] A PTC ceramic column with a prepared first metal electrode layer is placed in a designated mold, and a second metal electrode slurry is poured in while simultaneously embedding a high-temperature wire. After drying, the mold is fired multiple times to obtain the second metal electrode layer. This second metal electrode layer, with a thickness of 0.5-2 mm, is used to fill the groove space. The second metal electrode layer is prepared using a high-temperature resistant metal material (those resistant to temperatures above 1000℃), including but not limited to platinum, nickel, titanium, and their alloys. The preparation method of the second metal electrode layer includes, but is not limited to, multiple pouring and firing processes. The wire, resistant to temperatures above 1000℃, is used to connect the second metal electrode layer and the excitation power supply. Its material can be, but is not limited to, platinum, rhodium, nickel, and their alloys. The connection method between the wire and the electrode layer is, but is not limited to, repeated firing and infiltration molding. The material of the second metal electrode layer is mainly used to ensure the roughness of the electrode surface and to achieve the connection with the high-temperature wire (welding, etc.). Previous technologies have used silver paste layers that are not resistant to high temperatures, and the welding materials used for welding cannot achieve reliable connections at high temperatures. Therefore, there are connection problems between the high-temperature resistant metal slurry and the electrode material. Therefore, this invention innovatively uses a high-temperature metal slurry injection and embedding of high-temperature wires for repeated burning and seepage connection, avoiding the factors that cannot withstand high temperatures in welding and other connection processes.

[0038] As an example of the preparation of the second metal electrode layer, the aforementioned PTC ceramic column is placed in a designated mold, and metal slurry is poured into the grooves on both sides. One side of the high-temperature wire is embedded in the metal slurry, and the other side of the wire is fixed to a designated fixture. Together, they are placed in a high-temperature sintering furnace to sinter the second metal electrode layer. The slurry pouring and sintering are repeated until the specified thickness is reached.

[0039] A high-temperature resistant oxide layer (i.e., an anti-oxidation layer) is fabricated on the surface of the second metal electrode layer. The anti-oxidation layer has a thickness of 0.05-1 mm and is made of inorganic compounds that can withstand temperatures above 1000℃ and are resistant to oxidation. It is also required to have a certain thermal conductivity. Materials such as aluminum nitride, titanium aluminum nitride, and chromium nitride can be used, but are not limited to these. The preparation methods include, but are not limited to, ceramic electrode processes such as chemical vapor deposition and sputtering. It is mainly used to enhance the protection of the second metal electrode layer.

[0040] The prepared PTC ceramic column covered with an anti-oxidation layer is placed in the shell and an insulating and thermally conductive potting compound is injected. This insulating and thermally conductive compound can withstand temperatures above 1000℃, has good sealing performance, good flowability, is easy to mold and clean, and has thermal conductivity and a suitable coefficient of thermal expansion. The material can be, but is not limited to, a combination of aluminosilicate and inorganic polymer, or a combination of silicate and heat-resistant resin. Traditionally, PTC potting compounds have used silicone rubber. However, silicone rubber carbonizes at 1000℃, leading to seal failure. Most high-temperature adhesives suffer from a trade-off between thermal conductivity and high-temperature resistance, affecting the heat transfer efficiency of components at high temperatures. To overcome these issues, this invention preferably uses one or more of the following: aluminosilicates, a combination of silicate and inorganic polymers, or a combination of silicate and heat-resistant resins. Adjusting the appropriate ratio (wherein the mass ratio of the aluminosilicate and inorganic polymer combination is (1–3.5):1, and the mass ratio of silicate to heat-resistant resin in the silicate and heat-resistant resin combination is (2–5.5):1) satisfies the requirements for potting and high-temperature resistance, while achieving excellent thermal conductivity. The outer shell can withstand temperatures above 1000℃, exhibits good thermal conductivity and high strength, and its shape can be designed according to actual conditions. Commonly, but not limited to, regular shapes such as cylinders and cuboids are available. Materials used include, but are not limited to, 310S stainless steel, cobalt-based high-temperature alloys, and nickel-chromium-iron-based reinforced alloys. As an example, a PTC ceramic component is placed in a pre-fabricated housing, and insulating thermally conductive adhesive is poured in at room temperature, allowing it to set for 24-48 hours. The shape and dimensions of the housing can be designed according to actual application requirements. A high-temperature inorganic adhesive is preferred for thermal conductivity.

[0041] This invention features a high-temperature resistant PTC ceramic heating element that saves space, consumes little power, is lightweight, and has materials that can withstand temperatures above 1000℃, making it suitable for heating applications in confined spaces under high-temperature conditions. The main structural innovations are as follows: 1. Unlike traditional welding and other connection methods, the element uses a high-temperature wire embedded in a high-temperature metal slurry for repeated infiltration to achieve connection with the electrode; 2. Unlike previous external electrode designs, this invention primarily uses an electrode-embedded groove structure, saving space while protecting the electrode layer and facilitating the casting and molding of the second metal electrode layer; 3. An additional high-temperature anti-oxidation layer is added to the existing PTC element structure to further enhance the element's stability at high temperatures.
