DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0031] See also Figure 1-5The present embodiment provides a pressure-resistant heating round tube assembly with a built-in threaded water channel and a non-return structure, including a heating sleeve 2, a drainage inner tube 1, a first cover 3 and a second cover 4, a cavity is axially arranged in the heating sleeve 2, the drainage inner tube 1 is located in the cavity, a spiral protrusion 102 is arranged on the outer wall of the drainage inner tube 1, and a threaded water channel 101 is formed between the spiral protrusion 102 and the inner wall of the cavity, the first cover 3 and the second cover 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the heating sleeve 2, a liquid inlet passage 301 connected to one end of the threaded water channel 101 is arranged on the first cover 3, and a liquid outlet passage 401 connected to the other end of the threaded water channel 101 is arranged on the second cover 4; and a heating element 5 is also included, the heating element 5 is arranged on the heating sleeve 2, and the heating element 5 is at least arranged outside the threaded water channel 101. It is understandable that this embodiment greatly increases the contact area between the liquid and the heating element by setting a spiral protrusion 102 on the outside of the drainage inner tube 1 to form a threaded water channel 101 with the inner wall of the heating sleeve 2, thereby improving the heating efficiency. The design of the spiral water channel also helps the liquid to form vortices during the flow process, enhances the mixing effect, and makes the liquid heated more evenly. In a possible action process, the atomized liquid enters the threaded water channel 101 through the liquid inlet passage 301 on the first cover 3. When the liquid flows in the threaded water channel 101, it is heated by the outer heating element 5, rapidly heats up and partially vaporizes. The heated liquid continues to flow to the second cover 4 and is discharged through the liquid outlet passage 401. At this time, most of the atomized liquid has been converted into steam.
[0032] Furthermore, the drainage inner tube 1 is provided with an inlet groove 103 on one side close to the first cover 3, and an outlet groove 104 on one side close to the second cover 4, the threaded water channel 101 is located between the inlet groove 103 and the outlet groove 104, and the inlet groove 103 is connected between the liquid inlet passage 301 and the threaded water channel 101, and the outlet groove 104 is connected between the liquid outlet passage 401 and the threaded water channel 101. It can be understood that the design of the inlet groove 103 and the outlet groove 104 is intended to provide a smoother fluid transition area, reduce the turbulence and resistance generated when the fluid changes direction, thereby ensuring that the liquid can enter the threaded water channel 101 more smoothly for heating, and stably discharge steam after heating. In a feasible action process, the atomized liquid enters the inlet groove 103 through the liquid inlet passage 301 on the first cover 3, and the liquid can be smoothly decelerated and diffused, reducing the impact and turbulence caused by excessive flow rate; after being buffered by the inlet groove 103, the liquid enters the threaded water channel 101 in the flow channel cavity and flows along the threaded path formed by the spiral protrusion 102, fully contacting the heating element 5 to achieve uniform heating; the heated liquid is partially vaporized to form a mixture of steam and liquid, and as the fluid continues to flow forward, it enters the outlet groove 104, and the outlet groove 104 also provides a smooth transition area, so that the steam can be discharged smoothly through the liquid outlet passage 401.
[0033] Furthermore, the liquid inlet passage 301 extends into the inlet groove 103 , and the portion of the liquid inlet passage 301 extending into the inlet groove 103 is provided with a first liquid inlet hole connected to the inlet groove 103 , and the bottom of the side wall of the inlet groove 103 is provided with a second liquid inlet hole connected to the threaded water channel 101 .
[0034] Furthermore, a non-return structure 6 is provided in the outlet groove 104, and the non-return structure 6 is used to control the conduction or blocking of the liquid outlet passage 401. Specifically, the non-return structure 6 includes a spring 601 and a stopper 602, one end of the spring 601 abuts against the outlet groove 104 body, and the other end abuts against one end of the stopper 602, and the other end of the stopper 602 abuts against the liquid outlet passage 401, so as to conduct or block the liquid outlet passage 401; the elastic force direction of the spring 601 is toward the liquid outlet passage 401, and the side of the stopper 602 abutting against the liquid outlet passage 401 is an inclined structure gradually extending toward the liquid outlet direction in the direction of the central axis of the liquid outlet passage 401. It can be understood that when the fluid and / or steam enters the outlet groove 104 through the threaded water channel 101, the block 602 is acted upon by the elastic force of the spring 601 to block the liquid outlet passage 401. At this time, the fluid and / or steam will act on the inclined structure of the block 602 so that the block 602 compresses the spring 601, thereby opening the liquid outlet passage 401 and making it conductive, so that the fluid and / or steam can flow out of the liquid outlet passage 401.
[0035] Further, the protrusion height of the spiral protrusion 102 is not more than 1.5mm, the cross section of the spiral protrusion 102 is one of a triangle, a trapezoid, a rectangle, a circle and a semi-ellipse, and the drainage inner tube 1 and the spiral protrusion 102 are made of stainless steel or ceramic. It is understandable that the greater the protrusion height of the spiral protrusion 102, the greater the flow rate of the liquid, which is likely to cause the liquid heating effect to be poor and fail to meet the needs of the user. The height of the spiral protrusion 102 is not more than 1.5mm, which further makes the liquid heating effect excellent. It is understandable that by adjusting the geometric parameters of the spiral protrusion 102 (such as the protrusion height and the cross-sectional shape), the flow rate and flow state of the liquid can be controlled, so that the liquid can fully contact with the heating element 5 during the heating process, and the present embodiment ensures that the liquid can be fully heated during the flow process by limiting the protrusion height of the spiral protrusion 102 to not more than 1.5mm, avoiding the problem of insufficient heating caused by too fast flow rate.
[0036] Furthermore, the first cover 3 and the second cover 4 are both provided with a first step portion 7 on the side facing the heating sleeve 2, and the heating sleeve 2 is both provided with a second step portion corresponding to the first step portion 7 on the side facing the first cover 3 and the second cover 4. The first step portion 7 is clamped with the second step portion, and the first step portion 7 is fixed with the second step portion by laser welding or argon arc welding. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the geometric matching of the first step portion 7 and the second step portion is used to achieve preliminary clamping and fixing, increase the preload force and stability of the connection, and on the basis of the clamping of the first step portion 7 and the second step portion, the high-strength connection technology of laser welding or argon arc welding is used to achieve permanent fixation between the components, ensure the sealing and strength of the connection, effectively prevent the occurrence of fluid leakage problems, and ensure heating efficiency and safety.
[0037] In order to avoid excessive or insufficient heating due to lack of real-time temperature feedback, which affects the heating effect and equipment life, further, a temperature sensor is provided in the liquid outlet passage 401 in this embodiment, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the heating element 5. The temperature sensor is used to monitor the fluid temperature in real time, and the temperature signal is converted into an electrical signal output. The output signal of the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the control circuit of the heating element 5. Through a preset temperature control algorithm, the power output of the heating element 5 is automatically adjusted to achieve intelligent temperature control.
[0038] In another embodiment, the heating element 5 includes a first insulating protective layer 501, a substrate 503 and a second insulating protective layer 502, wherein the first insulating protective layer 501 is coated on the first surface of the substrate 503, and the second insulating protective layer 502 is coated on the second surface of the substrate 503, and the first insulating protective layer 501 and the second insulating protective layer 502 enclose and wrap the substrate 503; a first pad film 504, a heating power resistor film 505 and a power pin line 506 are provided on the first surface of the substrate 503, and the heating power resistor film 505 and the power pin line 506 are electrically connected to the first pad film 504; The second surface of the substrate 503 is provided with a second pad film 507, a temperature measuring PTC resistor film 508 and a signal pin line 509, the temperature measuring PTC resistor film 508 and the signal pin line 509 are both electrically connected to the second pad film 507, the signal pin line 509 is connected to the external control circuit, and the temperature measuring PTC resistor film 508 feeds back the temperature condition of the substrate 503 to the external control circuit through the signal pin line 509; It also includes an electrical connector 510, the electrical connector 510 is electrically connected to the power pin line 506 through a wire 511, and the electrical connector 510 is used to connect to an external power supply. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the temperature measuring PTC resistor film 508 and the heating power resistor film 505 are respectively provided on both sides of the substrate 503, and the temperature of the substrate 503 is monitored in real time through the characteristics of the PTC resistor changing with temperature, and the temperature information is transmitted to the external control circuit through the signal pin line 509 to achieve precise temperature control. When an external power source is connected through the electrical connector 510, current flows through the power pin line 506 and the first pad film 504 to the heating power resistor film 505, generating heat to heat the substrate 503 and the surrounding medium. The temperature measuring PTC resistor film 508 changes its resistance value as the temperature of the substrate 503 changes. The change is transmitted to the external control circuit through the signal pin line 509. The external control circuit adjusts the power output according to the received temperature signal to ensure that the temperature of the substrate 503 is maintained within the set range, thereby achieving precise temperature control and improving heating efficiency and product quality.
[0039] Specifically, the substrate 503 is a yttrium-doped zirconia ceramic substrate. The yttrium-doped zirconia (YSZ) ceramic substrate is known for its excellent high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high insulation and good thermal conductivity. The yttrium-doped zirconia ceramic can still remain stable in a high temperature environment and is not easy to deform or fail. The yttrium-doped zirconia ceramic substrate is used as the support structure of the heating element 5, which can not only withstand the thermal stress during high temperature heating, but also its good thermal conductivity helps to evenly distribute heat and improve heating efficiency. The material of the heating power resistor film 505 contains palladium / silver precious metal or ruthenium oxide / palladium / silver alloy. Selecting palladium / silver precious metal or ruthenium oxide / palladium / silver alloy as the material of the heating power resistor film 505 can ensure that the heating element 5 can work continuously and stably in a high temperature environment, and resistance drift or burning is not likely to occur. At the same time, the high conductivity of these materials also reduces energy loss and improves heating efficiency. The material of the temperature measuring PTC resistor film 508 contains palladium / silver precious metal or ruthenium oxide / palladium / silver alloy.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
