Figures 1-4 The system includes a mounting housing 100, with a mounting plate 200 at one end of the housing 100. Multiple heating elements 300 are spaced apart on the mounting plate 200. The heating elements 300 are located inside the housing 100 and can heat the fluid inside. A fluid inlet 110 is provided on the lower side wall of the housing 100, and a fluid outlet 120 is provided on the upper side wall. When heating the fluid, the fluid enters through the fluid inlet 110, passes through the heating elements 300 while passing through the housing 100, and is discharged through the fluid outlet 120 after heating.
[0029] The end of the heating element 300 furthest from the mounting plate 200 is located inside the mounting housing 100. Inside the mounting housing 100, a protective component 400 is provided to protect each heating element 300 individually. The mounting plate 200 is equipped with a cleaning component 500 to clean dirt from the outside of the heating element 300 and the inside of the protective component 400. The protective component 400 protects the heating element 300, preventing fragments from flying outwards in the event of an explosion. Simultaneously, the cleaning component 500 cleans dirt from the heating element 300 and the protective component 400, preventing any impact on the heating effect of the heating element 300.
[0030] The protective assembly 400 includes a support flange 410 fixed to the inner side of the mounting housing 100, wherein the support flange 410 is bolted to the inner side of the mounting housing 100. Multiple connecting holes 411 are spaced apart along the circumference of the support flange 410, through which the heating element 300 passes. A protective tube 420 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the support flange 410 and through the connecting holes 411, and the protective tube 420 is sleeved on the outer side of the heating element 300. The support flange 410 reinforces the protective tube 420 and shields the inner heating element 300, achieving an explosion-proof effect.
[0031] Furthermore, a step 421 is formed at one end of the protective pipe 420 near the support flange 410, and a threaded pipe 422 is integrally formed on the upper side of the step 421.

The inner diameter of the scraper ring 550 is larger than the outer diameter of the heating element 300. In use, when the drive motor 520 drives the drive shaft 510 to rotate, the mounting sleeve 530 can move along the length of the threaded rod segment 511 because the multiple support rods 540 are limited by the guide groove 424. During the movement, the scraper ring 550 moves vertically, scraping away dirt inside the mounting sleeve 530.

The support ring 560 is located between the support flange 410 and the mounting plate 200, and the support ring 560 abuts against the side of the support flange 410 closest to the mounting plate 200. The support ring 560 provides support for the drive shaft 510.
[0040] A shielding assembly 600 is provided on the outer side of the protective tube 420 to shield the guide groove 424. The shielding assembly 600 includes a limiting ring 610 fixed to the side wall of the protective tube 420, and the limiting ring 610 is located at the end of the protective tube 420 away from the mounting plate 200.
[0041] The outer side of the protective tube 420 is fitted with a first shielding ring 620, a second shielding ring 630 and a third shielding ring 640.
[0042] The first blocking ring 620 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting ring 610.

[0043] The second shielding ring 630 is sleeved on the outside of the first shielding ring 620. A second inner abutment ring 631 is provided on the inner side of the second shielding ring 630, and a second outer abutment ring 632 is provided on the outer side of the second shielding ring 630. The second inner abutment ring 631 is located at the end of the second shielding ring 630 away from the supporting flange 410, and is located on the side of the first outer abutment ring 622 away from the supporting flange 410. The inner diameter of the second inner abutment ring 631 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first outer abutment ring 622. The second outer abutment ring 632 is located at the end of the second shielding ring 630 closer to the supporting flange 410.
[0044] The third shielding ring 640 is sleeved on the outside of the second shielding ring 630. A third inner abutting ring 641 is provided on the inner side of the third shielding ring 640. The third inner abutting ring 641 is located at the end of the third shielding ring 640 away from the supporting flange 410 and on the side of the second outer abutting ring 632 away from the supporting flange 410.

The first shielding ring 620, the second shielding ring 630, and the third shielding ring 640 can all slide vertically. When the mounting sleeve 530 moves the support rod 540 vertically, the support rod 540 moves the third shielding ring 640, and the second and first shielding rings move in tandem. When moving downwards, the third shielding ring 640, the second shielding ring 630, and the first shielding ring 620 move downwards in sequence. At this time, the inner scraper ring 550 can scrape away dirt from inside the protective tube 420. When the support rod 540 moves upward, the first shielding ring 620, the second shielding ring 630, and the third shielding ring 640 move upward, shielding the guide groove 424 and achieving an explosion-proof effect.
[0046] During the scraping process, the dirt is discharged from the lower end of the protective tube 420. During normal operation, the support rod 540 is located at the top of the protective tube 420.
[0047] This invention provides a high-temperature explosion-proof electric heater. Protective and shielding components located inside the mounting housing can isolate the heating element, achieving an explosion-proof effect and thus improving the safety of the electric heater. Simultaneously, during use, a cleaning component can clean dirt from the inside of the protective components and the outside of the heating element, preventing any impact on the heating performance.
