Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a thermosensitive ceramic heater and an assembly thereof, in particular to a PTC heating device with a heat-conducting aluminum tube having a main body reinforcing rib on the side and an assembly thereof. Background Art
[0002] A bracket for a PTC thermosensitive ceramic electric heater and a PTC electric heater (Publication No. CN201174784) include a mounting surface and a supporting surface. An inner concave cavity for mounting and fixing a heating element is provided on the supporting surface. A cavity for placing a connecting wire of a power supply lead-out end of the heating element extending inward is further provided at the bottom of the inner concave cavity. A wire lead-out hole is provided on the supporting surface at the bottom of the cavity. A through hole for placing a fuse is provided on a side wall of the supporting surface.
[0003] Through this technical solution, the fuse can be combined with the bracket to prevent it from being connected to the periphery of the bracket and affecting safety. However, since it is still mounted on a side wall of the supporting surface, its connecting wire will still be wound around the outside of the bracket, and there is still a hidden danger that the power supply lead will loosen or fall off under the action of external force.
[0004] A PTC heater support seat and a PTC heater (Publication No.: CN200920235929) include a seat body, a cover plate and a screw; the seat body and the cover plate are fixedly connected by the screw; a cavity with an open side is provided in the seat body, and a spaced upper wall and a spaced lower wall are provided in the cavity; the spaced upper wall is located between the heating element and the temperature controller of the PTC heater; the spaced lower wall is located between the heating element and the temperature fuse of the PTC heater.
[0005] Through this technical solution, the temperature controller and the temperature fuse can be installed in the bracket, and the reliability problem of the positioning of the thermostat and the fuse can be solved. However, since the lead wire is prone to loosen and fall off under the repeated pulling of external force, the charged parts of the two different-polarity electrode plates and the wire group connection surface may also cause short circuit and contact sparking or loosening due to poor crimping.
[0006] A PTC heater (Publication No.: 104053255A) shares one tail seat and one electrical connection seat for two or more heaters. After the temperature controller and the temperature fuse are fixed in the exposed electrical connection seat, the electrical plug cavity and the electrical screen protection connection seat cover are inserted. Adopting this technology can solve the positioning problem of the installation of the thermostat and the fuse in the tail seat of the electrical connection seat, but still cannot solve the safety and reliability problems such as displacement and mutual interference between the parts inside the bracket seat body and between the power supply leads.
[0007] The above-mentioned prior arts all have the problems that after the power connection wire of the thermosensitive ceramic heater is led out, there is no effective insulation and fixation, it is easily affected by pulling, and at the same time, the power connection wire inside the installation bracket is also easily affected by external pulling.
[0008] In addition, whether the thermosensitive ceramic heaters for existing cabinet air conditioners are single-group or multi-group in parallel, after the power connection wires are led out, they interfere with each other and there is no effective insulation and fixation. Affected by the assembly and transportation pulling of the whole machine, safety accidents such as falling off and short circuit are extremely likely to occur.
[0009] A PTC liquid electric heater (Publication No. CN2612898Y), the power supply wire is connected to and supplies power to the electrode, and the power supply wire is connected to the outside through the power supply wire inlet of the metal shell.
[0010] Adopting this technical solution, since the power supply wire is directly connected to the electrode, the contact resistance is large, and the connection point of the power supply wire is prone to falling off under the action of external force.
[0011] A fast electric water heater heated by PTC (Publication No. CN2742335Y), the wire on the electrical control device is connected to the insert piece on the heating device.
[0012] Adopting this technical solution, at least the help of insert pieces, plug springs and sheaths is required to complete the connection between the wire and the PTC electrode plate to ensure its safety. At the same time, the requirements for inserting the insert piece are very high. If the connection with its fitting part is not completed, the insert piece is prone to falling off from the PTC electrode plate, resulting in damage to the heater.
[0013] A PTC heating element with fastening terminals (Publication No. CN2684506Y), a buckle piece is provided on the terminal, and the buckle piece is connected to the electrode plate by stamping. Adopting this technical solution, the buckle piece is equivalent to the insert piece, and the stamping distance needs to be adjusted in real time. There will inevitably be a contact gap at the docking part of the insert piece and the plug spring. If the connection with its fitting part is not completed, the insert piece is prone to falling off from the PTC electrode plate or the docking plug spring, resulting in non-conduction of the heater. And real-time adjustment requires additional manual care, resulting in increased costs.
[0014] In addition, the existing technology also adopts a connection scheme of stamping the connecting piece with a flanging crimping surface or a corner wrapping crimping surface and the electrode piece of the heating strip. Although this scheme can solve the problem of reliable crimping of the wire group and the connecting piece, since the flanging crimping surface or the corner wrapping crimping surface and the electrode piece are in surface contact, if they do not fit evenly, it is easy to cause loosening of the fit, resulting in loosening. Coupled with the fact that the flat punch of the stamping die applies impact pressure to both sides of the flanging or corner wrapping at the same time, since the contact between the electrode piece and both sides of the flanging or corner wrapping is line contact and the indentation is concentrated here, if the stamping die has a slight unevenness, it will cause damage and fracture of the electrode piece on the indentation line, resulting in the scrapping of the entire heating strip and wire group.
[0015] To sum up: The connection methods of the power supply wires and the electrode pieces in the above existing technologies all have many potential safety and reliability hazards such as poor contact, loose crimping, and stamping damage.
[0016] Prior art: Between the heating sheet and the electrode sheet is conductive adhesive. Since the conductive adhesive contains a large amount of metallic conductive powder, the adhesive strength of the adhesive is greatly reduced. 2. The silicone rubber used solidifies rapidly and naturally at room temperature, resulting in high production and storage costs and inconvenient use. 3. The existing heating core has grooves on the side formed after rolling, which has a positive effect on improving the contact between the heating element, the electrode sheet and the heating surface of the aluminum tube and enhancing the thermal efficiency.
[0017] Disadvantages of the prior art: 1. Xinye CN00221004: (1) Although it is set that there are various insertion methods such as the side wall, front wall or top wall of the bracket and forward, backward, left or right, etc., it is limited that the temperature control temperature sensing surface must be closely attached to the heat dissipation strip with live surface, which is prone to safety accidents such as short circuit and electric leakage, and is unreliable and difficult to operate and install. (2) The two jacks for temperature control and fusing respectively extend deep into the inner wall of the cavity of the bracket, so that the power leads and electrical connection points can only be exposed outside the bracket. (3) The set cover plate only has a positioning function against the thermostat and cannot solve the problem of the exposed connection points of the live part, bringing great potential safety and reliability hazards in use. 2. Xu Chengdong CN201420064071: The cover plate set in the space exposed on the surface of the bracket is prone to water droplets seeping into the cavity for positioning the thermostat and fuse, bringing potential safety hazards. 3. Guowei 200920235929: (1) The thermostat is located in the cavity of the bracket seat body. When the heating device is in a ventilated working state, the temperature change of the temperature sensing surface of the thermostat and the dry burning state during abnormal conditions are not obvious, and it takes a long recovery time for the temperature of the temperature sensing surface to reach the protection temperature. (2) The temperature difference between the ventilated state and the dry burning state is not obvious, which is prone to misoperation. (3) The thermostat cavity is placed in the seat body of the bracket, occupying a large space, and is prone to interference between the power lines and connection points of different polarities in the cavity of the seat body, resulting in major safety accidents such as short circuit or creepage.
[0018] 1. Guowei patents CN204741574U and CN104797015A: (1) There is no extension surface and second through hole on the cover plate. (2) There is no sealing ring on the wire harness, and the wire harness is positioned by wire ties, which is easy to loosen and unreliable.
[0019] Prior art: (1) There is no sealant inside the cavity of the tail bracket. When the heater works, the condensed water generated due to the rapid change of the ambient temperature between hot and cold is easy to penetrate into the internal part of the heating body of the tail aluminum tube, resulting in a short circuit. (2) For Linzhi CN302536477S, there are unsealed steps at the tail, which cannot accommodate the sealant. (3) The tail of the aluminum tube heating body is flush with or lower than the tail of the radiator.
[0020] Prior Art: Gree CN201010245871: (1) All power connection points are exposed on the surface of the bracket, which cannot solve the problems of leakage under sealing and humid conditions and is unsafe to use. (2) There is no chamfer or groove at the joint between the bracket and the heater. (3) There is no sealant at the joint, and the gap at the joint is prone to water seepage, which cannot ensure the sealing performance and avoid water seepage and leakage problems under humid environments and is unsafe to use. Summary of the Invention
[0021] Object of the Invention: The object of the present invention is to solve the problems of a series of major and malignant safety accidents such as the loosening of the heat-conducting aluminum tube caused by the release of thermal stress due to the instantaneous cold and heat shock during the start-up - heating - shutdown cooling process of the in-tube heating element of the existing PTC heating device during frequent operation, resulting in gaps between the in-tube heating element, the conductive electrode, and the insulating layer, and the resulting surface charging, leakage, short circuit, breakdown, explosion, and burning of flammable plastics in the indoor unit due to the sparking, carbonization between the heating element and the electrode sheet, and local high temperature caused by long-term sparking, which leads to the melting of the insulating layer.
[0022] Technical Solution: A PTC heating device includes a PTC heating core, a thin-walled flat and long hollow heat-conducting aluminum tube, and a radiator. The heating core is composed of a first electrode strip and a second electrode strip including a conductive surface and a heat-conducting surface, a plurality of PTC heating sheets juxtaposed and clamped by the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, a heat-resistant insulating silica gel located between the PTC heating sheets and the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, and a heat-resistant insulating film covering the electrode strips clamping the PTC heating element. The heat-resistant insulating silica gel has at least two components, and at least one of the components is liquid at room temperature. The two silica gels are configured in a ratio of approximately 1:1 and fully mixed to form a synthetic silica gel with better fluidity. The preparation process of the heat-conducting aluminum tube includes the following steps:
[0023] 1) Melting and softening aluminum ingots in a special melting furnace;
[0024] 2) Then stretching the softened aluminum liquid with a certain strength at the furnace mouth through a special die cavity to the outside of the furnace. The die cavity is located at the furnace mouth of the melting furnace;
[0025] 3) The softened aluminum liquid is rapidly cooled during the uniform stretching process in a room-temperature environment to form a flat and long hollow heat-conducting aluminum tube.
[0026] Furthermore, the radiator is a corrugated heat dissipation strip. The heating core is inserted into the flat long cavity of the heat-conducting aluminum tube to form an aluminum tube heating body. After gradually rolling the heat-conducting plane of the heating body, all the gaps between the PTC heating sheet, the electrode strip and the temperature-resistant insulating film in the heating core inserted into the cavity of the heat-conducting aluminum tube and between the heat-conducting plane of the heating core and the inner wall of the heat-conducting aluminum tube are eliminated, and they are closely adhered to each other to form a PTC heating body. The heat-conducting plane of the PTC heating body is adhered to the corresponding heat-conducting plane of the heat dissipation strip, and synthetic silica gel is applied at the adhesion point. At a temperature of 150 to 300 °C and for a time of more than 5 minutes, the synthetic silica gel is completely cured, and the heat-conducting aluminum tube heating body and the heat dissipation strip are firmly bonded together.
[0027] Furthermore, the heat-conducting aluminum tube heating body is rolled over the entire heat-conducting surface of the heating body by using multiple groups of rollers. The distance between the rolling surfaces of each group of rollers can be finely adjusted. After each group of rollers rolls over in sequence, the thickness of the heating body is gradually reduced by 0.01 to 0.25 mm compared with that before rolling.
[0028] Prior art: For Claims 1-2, there is a conductive adhesive between the heating sheet and the electrode sheet. Since the conductive adhesive contains a large amount of metal conductive powder, the bonding strength of the adhesive is greatly reduced. 2. The silicone used is a type that rapidly solidifies naturally at room temperature, resulting in high production and storage costs and inconvenient use. 3. The existing heating core has grooves on the side formed after rolling, which has a positive effect on improving the contact between the heating element, the electrode sheet, and the heating surface of the aluminum tube, and enhancing the thermal efficiency. The present invention can greatly improve and enhance the bending caused by the stress released due to the change in the thickness state of the heating core after rolling, ensuring the flatness and non-deformation of the product after rolling. For products with a length of more than 500 - 1000 mm (wall-mounted and floor-standing air conditioners between 1.5 HP and 5 HP), the reinforcing ribs on the side can greatly improve the bending and folding resistance strength, effectively eliminating and reducing the deformation caused by external forces during turnover, transportation, and installation. In addition, the reinforcing ribs on the side can also greatly improve and enhance the wrapping strength of the heat-conducting aluminum tube around the internal heating element, conductive electrode sheet, and insulating layer, effectively eliminating the heat stress release caused by the instantaneous temperature change during the start-up - heating - shutdown cooling process of the internal heating body in the tube, which leads to the loosening of the heat-conducting aluminum tube and the resulting gaps between the internal heating element, conductive electrode, and insulating layer, as well as the common problems such as arcing, carbonization between the heating element and the electrode sheet, and even local high temperature caused by long-term arcing, resulting in the melting of the insulating layer, surface charging, leakage, short circuit, breakdown, explosion, and burning of flammable plastics in the indoor unit, etc., a series of major and serious safety accidents. (1) Since the indentation size of the aluminum tube into the inner cavity during the rolling process after tube threading is smaller compared to that without the reinforcing ribs, this can reduce the safety hazard of non-insulation caused by the extrusion of the side wall of the tube on the insulating film during the pressing process; (2) The reinforcing ribs on the side are more conducive to eliminating the irregular extension of the aluminum tube in the length and width directions during the rolling of the aluminum tube heating body after tube threading to eliminate the gaps between the parts inside the tube and between the tube walls (including the extension of the wall thickness of the aluminum tube itself). On the premise of uniform extension, the electrode sheet, insulating film, and PTC heating element inside the aluminum tube will be tightly combined with the inner wall of the aluminum tube in all directions, which will have a positive effect on improving the thermal efficiency, anti-aging performance, and reliability of long-term use of the product; (3) On the premise of uniform shrinkage of the aluminum tube and closer combination of the parts inside the tube, it also has an obvious improvement effect on reducing the operating noise caused by temperature changes of the product.
[0029] Without reinforcing ribs, there are only less than 3 groups of rollers, which can only adjust the pressure and cannot adjust the distance between the two rollers. 2. Invention effects: (1) For claims 1 and 2-1, since the surface contact area between the PTC heating sheet and the electrode strip is not an absolute mirror surface, conduction occurs based on the contact of corresponding minute protruding points, and the concave points store silica gel to maintain the bonding strength. By rolling the heat-conducting surface of the heat-conducting aluminum tube, uniform distribution of the conductive contact points, tight and uniform storage of silica gel in the concave points is achieved, that is, both reliable and uniform electrical contact points are ensured, the current distribution is made uniform, the contact resistance is eliminated, and at the same time, the silica gel stored in the concave points between the corresponding heat-conducting contact surfaces is also evenly distributed, ensuring the connection and contact strength. (2) For claims 3 and 4, the reinforcing ribs can accurately set the thickness of the heating core after pressing. On the basis of the gradually decreasing thickness, the contact and fit between the heating element in the heat-conducting aluminum tube and the heat-conducting aluminum tube are made closer. 2. By gradually and slightly reducing the thickness of the heating core, it is ensured that the heating element in the tube does not crack, break, there is no gap between the sheets, and the combination between the heating element and the electrode sheet is firm. Example: The designed gap of the first group of rollers is 0.05 mm, which has the effect of evenly and tightly fitting the high-viscosity silica gel between the heating element and the electrode sheet, ensuring that due to the uniform pressing of the silica gel, the adjacent heating elements and between them and the electrode sheet are reliably positioned due to the adhesive effect of the glue and do not displace or have gaps. On this basis, the subsequent groups of rollers are gradually pressurized to make the contact surfaces between the various fittings in the tube fit more tightly. Especially for the brittleness of the ceramic heating element, it is significantly improved under the state of slowly, evenly and gradually increasing the pressure in the linear and the entire surface directions of the heat-conducting width. It eliminates the major safety accidents such as short circuits and open circuits of the heating device caused by the inevitable cracking and fragmentation of the heating element during pressing in the prior art, and the durability hidden dangers such as power attenuation and reduced service life caused by the degumming or uneven fitting between the heating element and the electrode sheet.
[0030] A PTC heating device, comprising a PTC heating core, a heat-conducting aluminum tube and a radiator, the heat-conducting aluminum tube having a heat-conducting plane and a pressing surface, the wall thickness of the heat-conducting plane exceeding 3 times the wall thickness of the pressing surface, the radiator comprising heat-dissipating fins, and the preparation process of the heat-conducting aluminum tube being:
[0031] 1) Melting and softening an aluminum ingot in a special melting furnace;
[0032] 2) Then stretching the softened aluminum liquid with a certain strength at the furnace mouth through a special die cavity to the outside of the furnace, the die cavity being located at the furnace mouth of the melting furnace;
[0033] 3) The softened aluminum liquid is rapidly cooled during the uniform stretching process in a room-temperature environment to form a flat and long hollow heat-conducting aluminum tube.
[0034] Further, the radiator is formed by cutting heat-dissipating fins from the heat-conducting plane wall thickness of the heat-conducting aluminum tube. The heating core is composed of a first electrode strip and a second electrode strip that include a conductive surface and a heat-conducting surface, several PTC heating sheets juxtaposed and clamped by the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, heat-resistant insulating silica gel, and a heat-resistant insulating film.
[0035] Further, the heat-conducting plane wall thickness at the location where the heat-conducting aluminum tube is cut into heat-dissipating fins is 3 - 15 mm, the width of the heat-dissipating fins is 11.5 - 24.5 mm, and the height is 5 - 17 mm. On both sides of the heat-dissipating fins on the heat-conducting plane of the heat-conducting aluminum tube are positioning pressing surfaces with a width smaller than that of the heat-dissipating fins. The wall thickness of the positioning pressing surface is 0.1 - 1.5 mm, and the width is 0.5 - 6 mm. The wall thickness of the two side walls of the heat-conducting aluminum tube is 0.2 - 2.5 mm, and the thickness of the heat-dissipating fins is 0.02 - 2.5 mm.
[0036] Pressing can be achieved by applying pressure to the two side pressing surfaces and rolling the two side pressing surfaces with multiple groups of rollers.
[0037] Further, the heating core is composed of a first electrode strip and a second electrode strip that include a conductive surface and a heat-conducting surface, several PTC heating sheets juxtaposed and clamped by the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, heat-resistant insulating silica gel located between the PTC heating sheets and the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, and a heat-resistant insulating film that coats the electrode strips clamping the PTC heating elements. After the heating core is inserted into the cavity of the heat-conducting aluminum tube including the heat-dissipating fins, by applying pressure to the pressing surface of the heat-conducting aluminum tube, the width gap between the heating core and the inner side wall of the cavity of the heat-conducting aluminum tube is basically eliminated, and then they are combined into the PTC heating device. The heat-dissipating aluminum tube at the end of the power input end of the heating device extends 5 - 50 mm beyond the end of the heat-dissipating fins corresponding to this end.
[0038] Further, there is at least 1 folding surface in the width direction of the heat-dissipating fins on the heat-conducting aluminum tube, and the apex angle of the fold is 5 - 40 degrees.
[0039] Further, the heat-dissipating fins have a substantially arcuate arc surface along the width direction of the heat-dissipating surface. The chord width of the arc surface is 2 - 8 mm, and the arc height is 0.1 - 1.5 mm.
[0040] Advantages of the invention: 1. Increase the heat dissipation area. 2. Reduce the aluminum material cost. 3. The shape of the heat-dissipating fins can achieve the effect of storing and accommodating the condensed water droplets caused by the surface temperature difference of the heater after shutdown, and prevent the functional defects caused by these water droplets being blown into the room with the instantaneous heat exchange air volume when starting up again.
[0041] A PTC heating device includes a heating core, a thin-walled flat and long hollow heat-conducting aluminum tube, and a radiator. The preparation process of the heat-conducting aluminum tube includes the following steps:
[0042] 1) Melt and soften the aluminum ingots in a dedicated melting furnace;
[0043] 2) Then stretch the softened aluminum liquid with a certain strength at the furnace mouth out of the furnace through a special die cavity, and the die cavity is located at the furnace mouth of the melting furnace;
[0044] 3) The softened aluminum liquid is rapidly cooled during the uniform stretching process in a room temperature environment to form a flat and long hollow heat-conducting aluminum tube.
[0045] Further, the heating core is composed of a first electrode strip and a second electrode strip including a conductive surface and a heat-conducting surface, several PTC heating sheets juxtaposed and clamped by the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, heat-resistant insulating silica gel located between the PTC heating sheets and the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, and a heat-resistant insulating film covering the electrode strips clamping the PTC heating elements. The surface of the heat-conducting aluminum tube is a heat-conducting plane and a pressing surface with substantially equal wall thicknesses. The radiator is inlaid or welded on the heat-conducting plane of the heat-conducting aluminum tube. After the heating core penetrates into the cavity of the heat-conducting aluminum tube including the radiator, by pressing the pressing surface of the heat-conducting aluminum tube, the width gap between the heating core and the inner side wall of the cavity of the heat-conducting aluminum tube is basically eliminated simultaneously. The width of the pressing surface is 0.5 - 6 mm, and the radiator is positioned on the heat-conducting plane of the heat-conducting aluminum tube to form the PTC heating device.
[0046] A PTC heating device includes a PTC heating core, a heat-conducting aluminum tube and a radiator. The heating core is composed of a first electrode strip and a second electrode strip including a conductive surface and a heat-conducting surface, several PTC heating sheets juxtaposed and clamped by the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, heat-resistant insulating silica gel located between the PTC heating sheets and the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, and a heat-resistant insulating film covering the electrode strips clamping the PTC heating elements. A part of the heating core of the heating device at the electrode lead-out end extends beyond the end corresponding to the heat-conducting aluminum tube, and heat-resistant insulating sealant is coated on the periphery of the joint between the insulating film of the electrode lead-out end part of the heating core and the heat-conducting aluminum tube.
[0047] Function: It can effectively prevent the condensation water droplets from seeping into the gap between the heat-conducting aluminum tube and the inside of the heating core through the gap at the joint of the heat-conducting aluminum tube and the heating core when the heating device is used in a humid environment, resulting in water droplets invading between the electrode strip covered by the insulating film and the PTC heating sheet, causing leakage and non-insulation of the heating device, and even short-circuit, breakdown and other failures and major safety accidents such as explosion, combustion and leakage of electrical products such as air conditioners using the PTC heating device.
[0048] A PTC heating device includes a PTC heating core, a heat-conducting aluminum tube and a radiator. The heating core consists of a first electrode strip and a second electrode strip including a conductive surface and a heat-conducting surface, several PTC heating sheets juxtaposed and clamped by the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, a heat-resistant insulating silica gel located between the PTC heating sheets and the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, and a heat-resistant insulating film covering the electrode strips clamping the PTC heating elements. There are at least one columnar reinforcing rib on the side surface of the heat-conducting aluminum tube of the heating device. The columnar reinforcing rib is roughly in the middle of the side surface of the heat-generating body of the heat-conducting aluminum tube and is as long as the heat-conducting aluminum tube. The cross-section of the columnar reinforcing rib is a roughly arc shape with a chord width of 0.3 - 2 mm and an arch height of 0.2 - 2 mm.
[0049] A PTC heating device, characterized in that: a heat dissipation strip and a PTC heating sheet attached to the heat-conducting sheet of the heat dissipation strip form a group. There is a mixed silica gel between the heat-conducting plane of the heat-conducting sheet of the heat dissipation strip and the heat-generating plane of the heating sheet. The mixed silica gel consists of at least two components, and at least one of the components is liquid at room temperature. After being proportionally configured and fully mixed, the silica gel becomes a synthetic silica gel with good fluidity. At a temperature of 150 - 300 °C and for a time of more than 5 minutes, the synthetic silica gel is completely cured, combining the heat dissipation strip and the PTC heating sheet into the PTC heating device.
[0050] An assembly of a PTC heating device includes a PTC heater composed of a PTC heating core, a heat-conducting aluminum tube and a radiator, a first mounting bracket, a second mounting bracket, and an incoming power supply wire harness connecting a temperature controller and a temperature fuse. The heating core consists of a first electrode strip and a second electrode strip including a conductive surface and a heat-conducting surface, several PTC heating sheets juxtaposed and clamped by the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, a heat-resistant insulating silica gel located between the PTC heating sheets and the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, and a heat-resistant insulating film covering the electrode strips clamping the PTC heating elements. The first mounting bracket has a seat body and a cover. Along the extended end of the electrode strip of the heating device, the seat body has an open large cavity for accommodating the lead-out ends of different polar electrode strips of the heating device, an electrically connected part with the incoming power supply wire harness, and a wire connection of the power supply wire harness. There is also an open small cavity separated by a positioning insulating wall in the open large cavity. The small cavity respectively accommodates and positions the heat-conducting surface at the end of the heating device, the temperature controller, or the temperature fuse. The temperature-sensing surfaces of the temperature controller and the temperature fuse are attached to one side of the positioning insulating wall corresponding to the heat-conducting plane of the adjacent heating device. The angle between the cavity positioning the temperature controller and the temperature fuse and the heat-conducting surface at the end of the heating device is 0 - 90°.
[0051] Further, on the adjacent side of the positioning insulating wall of the open small cavity positioning the temperature fuse, there is an open positioning cavity groove for accommodating the lead-out power supply lead of the temperature fuse.
[0052] Furthermore, there is a notch connecting the two cavities on the positioning insulating wall of the open small cavity for accommodating the thermal fuse and the open positioning cavity groove for accommodating the power lead of the thermal fuse. The lead of the thermal fuse is embedded and positioned in the lead positioning cavity groove through this notch. The temperature controller, thermal fuse, introduced power cord bundle and each connection point positioned in the open large cavity of the bracket seat body are all sealed in the corresponding open large cavity by the cover.
[0053] Description of the invention points: 1. Temperature control and fuse cavities: (1) Applicable to assemblies with charged surfaces and assemblies with insulated surfaces. (2) For heat-generating devices with charged surfaces, since the surface of the radiator is charged and the surface of the cylindrical fuse is also charged, the prior art has adopted radiative temperature sensing. That is, the temperature control and fuse are installed in a space with a certain electrical clearance and safety distance from the heat-generating device, and it is necessary to install accessories such as sheet metal, resulting in high costs and low assembly efficiency. In addition, due to the adoption of thermal radiation temperature sensing, it also brings functional defects such as long action time, poor sensitivity and reliability. The temperature control and fuse of the present invention are attached to the heat-generating surface of the heat-generating device, with high temperature sensing accuracy and fast abnormal temperature action, effectively improving the reliability. (3) By adopting the present invention, the existing temperature sensing method of temperature control and fuse protection can be changed to conductive temperature sensing with the temperature sensing surface closely attached to the heat-generating surface of the heat-generating device. Whether the heat-generating device is charged or not, the temperature sensing control element does not contact the radiator, which not only improves the safety and reliability of the product, but also greatly reduces the cost of the product and improves the assembly production efficiency. 4. Positioning cavity groove for fuse leads: (1) Deficiencies of the prior art: Since the input and output power leads of the general cylindrical fuse are at its two ends respectively, and one of the leads has the same polarity as the surface metal shell of the fuse, it is easy to cause the two leads to short-circuit while the two fuses of the fuse short-circuit and do not work. (2) In the prior art, the fuse and its power input and output ends are all positioned in the same cavity, and its two different power leads are all positioned in the same cavity. Moreover, due to the limitation of the internal space of the cavity, one lead of the fuse can only be bent by more than 180° at its root and then closely attached to its outer shell to be led out. With a little external force, it is extremely easy to cause the fracture or detachment of the root, and at the same time, it also causes the displacement of the fuse, affecting the temperature control accuracy and protection function of the fuse. Invention points: (1) A separate fuse lead positioning slot is provided. The power lead positioned in this slot can be bent twice at positions away from the root in the oral cavity of the positioning fuse, each bend being less than 90°, so that the power lead is led out from this cavity groove. No matter how large the external force is, the stress point can only be on the end wall of the notch through which the fuse lead passes, without any potential risk of displacement of the fuse. (2) Greatly improves the working reliability of the fuse. (3) The two power leads with different polarities are respectively located in two different cavities, completely avoiding the potential risk of short-circuit between the leads, and the use safety is also reliably improved, guaranteed and enhanced.
[0054] An assembly of a PTC heating device, comprising a PTC heater composed of a PTC heating core, a heat-conducting aluminum tube and a radiator, a first mounting bracket, a second mounting bracket, and an incoming power wire harness connecting a temperature controller and a temperature fuse. The heating core includes a first electrode strip and a second electrode strip each having a conductive surface and a heat-conductive surface, a plurality of PTC heating sheets juxtaposed and clamped by the heat-conductive surfaces of the electrode strips, a heat-resistant insulating silica gel located between the PTC heating sheets and the heat-conductive surfaces of the electrode strips, and a heat-resistant insulating film covering the electrode strips clamping the PTC heating element. The first mounting bracket has a base body and a cover. The base body has a first cavity and a bushing for accommodating the electrical connection portion of the outgoing ends of the heating device's electrode strips with different polarities and the wire connection of the power wire harness, and a second cavity for accommodating the end of the radiator of the heating device. There is also a small pit for accommodating and positioning the temperature controller and the temperature fuse at the wall thickness portion of the second cavity that fits the heat dissipation surface of the radiator end. The depth of the small pit is much smaller than the lengths of the temperature controller and the temperature fuse.
[0055] Further, the length of the open surface of the small pit is close to the lengths of the temperature controller and the temperature fuse.
[0056] Further, there is a positioning cavity groove for accommodating the power supply lead of the fuse adjacent to the positioning wall of the small pit for positioning the temperature fuse.
[0057] Further, there is a notch connecting the pit and the positioning cavity groove on the partition wall between the small pit for accommodating the temperature fuse and the positioning cavity groove for the adjacent power supply lead of the temperature fuse. The lead of the temperature fuse is embedded and positioned in the positioning cavity groove of the power supply lead through this notch.
[0058] Prior Art: Guo Wei CN201515508U. Disadvantages: 1. The connection points of the temperature controller, temperature fuse and power cord harness are in the same plane of the cavity. The installation position and space are small, and it is inevitable that the power connection points and wires of different polarities interfere with each other, and there are great potential safety and reliability hazards. (2) The temperature difference between the ventilation state and the dry burning state is not obvious, which is likely to cause misoperation. Invention Point: The temperature controller and fuse are positioned in the corresponding cavities of another plane at the power lead-out end of the heating device and the electrical connection pressing point. The power lead-out end of the heater, the introduced power supply, and the connection points of the temperature controller and fuse are all located in the plane of the large cavity. The space of the cavity is large, and the power connection points and wires of different polarities can be conveniently isolated from each other without interference. The structural optimization brings about the improvement and enhancement of safety and reliability. Example: See the structural diagram of the Aux GREE model components. 2. GREE CN102271429A. Characteristics and Defects of the Prior Art: (1) Both the temperature control and the fuse are located on the surface of the bracket seat body and quite a part of them are exposed. When used in a humid and corrosive environment, the control devices are easily contaminated and eroded, resulting in failure. (2) The power connection points and power leads of the live parts are all positioned on the outer surface of the bracket seat body. In a humid and corrosive environment, they are prone to aging and reduced insulation, leading to safety accidents. Invention Effects: (1) The temperature difference on the temperature-sensing surfaces of the temperature controller and temperature fuse is significantly different in the normal working states of heating and ventilation and the abnormal state of heating without ventilation. That is, when the fan motor fails and the PTC heater is in the abnormal working state of dry burning without air, the temperature difference between the temperature controller and temperature fuse positioned on the bracket surface and the working states of ventilation and heating is more obvious. In the state of dry burning without ventilation, it can effectively disconnect and protect instantly. (2) Since the temperature controller and temperature fuse are directly cooled by the circulating natural wind in the ventilation working state, it reliably avoids misoperation caused by poor heat dissipation of the temperature-sensing surfaces of the temperature controller and temperature fuse in the ventilation working state. (3) The temperature controller and temperature fuse are sealed inside the seat body of the mounting bracket and are attached to the radiator surface of the PTC heating device, without occupying the volume of the cavity where the electrode lead-out end and power connection point are located in the first mounting bracket seat body, so that there is a larger installation space between the power lines and connection points of different polarities of the temperature control and fuse and they are separated, effectively ensuring sufficient creepage distance and electrical clearance. (4) During assembly, the positioning and operation space of the power cord harness are significantly increased, greatly improving the assembly efficiency and significantly reducing the manufacturing cost.
[0059] An assembly of a PTC heating device, comprising a PTC heater composed of a PTC heating core, a heat-conducting aluminum tube and a radiator, a first mounting bracket, a second mounting bracket, and an incoming power supply wire harness connecting a temperature controller and a temperature fuse. The heating core includes a first electrode strip and a second electrode strip having a conductive surface and a heat-conductive surface, a plurality of PTC heating sheets juxtaposed and clamped by the heat-conductive surfaces of the electrode strips, a heat-resistant insulating silicone between the PTC heating sheets and the heat-conductive surfaces of the electrode strips, and a heat-resistant insulating film covering the electrode strips clamping the PTC heating elements. The first mounting bracket has a base body and a cover. The base body has an open large cavity along the extended ends of the electrode strips of the heating device for accommodating the lead-out ends of the electrode strips of different polarities of the heating device, the electrical connection part of the incoming power supply wire harness, and the wire connection of the power supply wire harness. The open large cavity has a cavity for accommodating the temperature controller or the temperature fuse along the thickness side of the side surface of the heating device.
[0060] Further, the depth of the cavity is close to the length of the temperature controller or the temperature fuse and is in close contact with the heat-conductive surface of the heating device.
[0061] Further, the open cross-section of the cavity is perpendicular to the length direction of the heating device and is larger than the cross-section of the temperature controller or the temperature fuse.
[0062] Further, the temperature controller or the temperature fuse is inserted into the cavity from the open end of the corresponding small cavity, and its incoming power supply wire harnesses are all positioned and accommodated in the open large cavity of the base body. After the base body and the cover seal the open large cavity, the open part of the small cavity, the live connection part of the power supply wire harness, and all the leads of different polarities are reliably sealed in the open large cavity of the bracket.
[0063] Further, the cavity is parallel to the heat-conductive surface of the heating device.
[0064] Further, there are at least two groups of the heating devices, and the cavity is located between and in contact with the heat-conductive planes of two adjacent groups of heating devices.
[0065] Disadvantages of existing technologies: 1. Xinye CN00221004: (1) Although it is set to be installed on the side wall, front wall or top wall of the bracket and to be inserted in multiple ways such as forward, backward, left or right, the premise is that the temperature control sensing surface must be close to the heat dissipation strip with electricity on the surface, which is prone to safety accidents such as short circuit and leakage. It is unreliable and difficult to operate and install. (2) The two sockets of the temperature control and fuse are respectively deep into the inner wall of the cavity of the bracket, so that the power lead and the electrical connection point can only be exposed outside the bracket. (3) The cover plate is only used to support the positioning function of the temperature controller and cannot solve the problem of the exposed connection point of the live part, which brings great hidden dangers to the safety and reliability of use. 2. Xu Chengdong CN201420064071: The cover plate is exposed in the space on the surface of the bracket, which easily causes water droplets to penetrate into the cavity of the positioning temperature control and fuse, bringing safety hazards. 3. Guowei 200920235929: (1) The temperature controller is located in the cavity of the bracket body. The temperature change of the temperature sensing surface of the thermostat in the ventilation working state and the dry-burning state when the heating device is abnormal is not obvious. It takes a long recovery time for the temperature of the temperature sensing surface to reach the protection temperature. (2) The temperature difference between the ventilation state and the dry-burning state is not obvious, which can easily lead to malfunction. (3) The temperature controller cavity is placed in the bracket body, which occupies a large space and can easily cause interference between the power lines and connection points of different polarities in the body cavity, resulting in major safety accidents such as short circuits or creepage. Creativity: (1) The small cavity extends in the opposite direction of the head of the heating device to introduce power, without occupying the body cavity volume, so that there is enough space between the power lines and connection points of different polarities of the temperature controller and fuse to be separated and sufficient creepage distance and electrical clearance are guaranteed. The material cost is also low. (2) There is an insulating and heat-resistant isolation wall between the temperature controller's temperature sensing surface and the heating surface of the heating element. The temperature sensing surface is attached to the insulating isolation wall adjacent to the heating surface of the heating element, eliminating the safety hazards of leakage, creepage, and malfunction. (3) The small cavity, the incoming power line, and all live connection points are placed in the large cavity of the base body, without interference of different polarities. Water droplets cannot penetrate into the cavity containing the temperature controller and the temperature fuse, greatly improving the reliability and safety of use. (4) In the ventilation working state, the cavity containing the thermostat / fuse has the same heat exchange conditions as the heating element, and the temperature is much lower than the temperature in the dry-burning without ventilation state. This ensures that the temperature control protection temperature point is reached quickly in the abnormal state of dry-burning without air, playing a sensitive protection role and ensuring that no malfunction occurs in the working state due to the large temperature difference between the dry-burning without air and the ventilation working state. The reliability of the product is ensured. Example: Delong portable air conditioner double-row assembly diagram. The embodiment describes that the cavity can be close to the longitudinal surface of the thickness side of the heating element of the device or the heat dissipation corrugated surface in the width direction. Among them, the structure close to the heat dissipation corrugated heat dissipation surface can adopt the temperature control and fusing on the same heat dissipation surface, with the windward side being the best solution.One optimized Delong double-row heating device has a good heat dissipation effect when the heating device is in a ventilated and heated state, which can completely avoid the misoperation of the thermostat or fuse in the working state and improve the reliability of the product function.

The heating core includes a first electrode strip and a second electrode strip each having a conductive surface and a heat-conducting surface, a plurality of PTC heating sheets juxtaposed and clamped by the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, a heat-resistant insulating silicone between the PTC heating sheets and the heat-conducting surfaces of the electrode strips, and a heat-resistant insulating film covering the electrode strips clamping the PTC heating element. The first mounting bracket has a seat body and a cover. There is an open large cavity in the seat body. After the electrically connected parts of different polarities are positioned in the open large cavity, the insulating sealant fills and seals all the electrically connected parts of the lead-out electrode strips of the heating device and the power wire harness connected thereto and the corresponding gaps.
[0067] Further, there are limiting insulating walls along the outer sides of the extending ends of the lead-out ends of the electrode strips of different polarities of the heating device in the open large cavity. The lead-out electrode strips of the heating device filled and sealed with the insulating sealant, the electrically connected parts of the power wire harness connected thereto, and the corresponding insulating sealant are all positioned in the open small cavity surrounded by the limiting insulating walls.
[0068] Further, insulating heat-shrinkable sleeves are sleeved on the surfaces of the lead-out ends of the electrode strips of different polarities and the corresponding electrically connected parts positioned in the open large cavity, and the insulating sealant fills and seals all the lead-out ends of the electrode strips covered therein, the electrically connected parts connected thereto, and the corresponding gaps.
[0069] Prior art: CN104797022A, a thermosensitive ceramic heater assembly, its heater and mounting bracket. - There is no sealant at the positioning place of the lead-out ends of the electrode sheets of different polarities, no limiting insulating wall outside the lead-out ends, and no insulating heat-shrinkable sleeve on the surface of the lead-out ends. In the wet state and immersion state, the PTC heating element will immediately become effective, short-circuit and explode the tube. Major safety accidents such as short-circuit and electric leakage will also occur in the electrical connection part.
[0070] Key points of the invention: (1) The insulating sealant completely covers and fills the gaps between the electrode leads of different polarities and the power supply pressure points, ensuring that the PTC heating element does not leak water in the wet and immersed states, and the electrical connection part can also ensure reliable insulation. (2) The positioning insulating wall outside the electrode lead plays the role of limiting the lead-out electrode and forms a cavity between the electrode leads of different polarities and their connection points to the input power supply, so that the sealant is not wasted. (3) The sealant with better fluidity can be stored in the cavity surrounded by the insulating wall, completely covering and filling the gaps between the electrode leads of different polarities and the power supply pressure points. (4) Wrapping the electrode leads of different polarities and the power supply pressure points in the heat shrinkable tube can further reduce the waste of the sealant, improve the reliability of the seal and the production efficiency. Effects of the invention: (1) Greatly improves the sealing and insulation performance, ensuring reliable sealing and insulation of the live parts. (2) Avoids the overflow and waste of the sealant, ensuring the sealing and insulation effects. (3) Improves the operability and process consistency of mass production, greatly improving the production efficiency. (Description of the embodiment: In an environment where the electrical connection part and the power cord lead-out end are all immersed in water, it can still ensure reliable insulation between the live part of the heating device and its surface without leakage). (4) Completely solves the problems of water seepage and leakage of the PTC heater in a wet environment, and fundamentally solves the waterproof performance and the safety and reliability of use. Embodiment: The structural diagram of the GREE small pit body assembly).

There is an isolation wall on one side of the positioning slot for accommodating and fixing the power supply wires.
[0072] Effects of the invention: 1. Separate and position the power supply leads of different polarities. 2. Ensure that the power supply leads connected to the temperature controller and the temperature fuse are positioned in the slots, and when subjected to external forces, it will not cause misoperation or failure of the protection function due to inaccurate temperature sensing caused by the displacement of the temperature controller and the temperature fuse.
[0073] An assembly of a PTC heating device includes a PTC heating device, a first mounting bracket, a second mounting bracket, and an introduced power cord bundle connecting the temperature controller and the temperature fuse.

The cover has an extension perpendicular to the cover corresponding to the first through hole on the end face of the seat body, and there is a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole on the end face of the seat body on the extension.
[0074] Furthermore, the power harness is composed of the wires inserted into an insulating sleeve, and a rubber sealing ring is embedded and sheathed on the insulating sleeve. The rubber sealing ring and the power harness embedded and covered by it are positioned together in the first through hole and the second through hole. When the cover covers the base, the first through hole and the second through hole are matched to form a roughly circular third through hole. By pressing the cover, the rubber sealing ring embedded in the third through hole is tightly compacted, so that a sealed fit without any gap is formed between the rubber sealing ring and the insulating sleeve and the wire covered by it.
[0075] Furthermore, the sealing ring has at least one opening around it. Before the cover is put on and tightly sealed, the following steps can be performed:
[0076] 1) Insert the rubber sealing ring into the third through hole of the base body;
[0077] 2) Open the opening of the rubber seal ring and insert the power harness;
[0078] 3) Reset the opening of the sealing ring and completely cover the power harness;
[0079] 4) Covering the cover, the first and second through holes are matched to form a roughly circular third through hole, so that the wire is firmly compressed in the sealing ring and the gap is reliably sealed.
[0080] Furthermore, the gaps at the positioning and joining locations of the third through hole, the sealing ring and the wiring harness are filled with insulation and sealant.

[0082] Effects of the invention: (1) The wiring harness is tightly compressed and sealed by the sealing ring, and the sealant at the joint completely eliminates the hidden dangers of moist air and water droplets penetrating into the cavity of the seat body. Even if the first bracket is immersed in water, the live connection points in the cavity of the first bracket can still be completely sealed. The structural problems of leakage and short circuit in humid and submerged environments are completely solved, greatly improving safety and reliability. (2) The third through hole forms an embedded matching structure, which increases the precision of mutual matching and the strength of the connection.
[0083] Furthermore, it includes a PTC heating device, a first mounting bracket, a second mounting bracket, and an incoming power supply harness connected to a temperature controller and a temperature fuse.

[0085] Furthermore, the insulating sleeve is an insulating rubber sleeve that matches the plug spring.
[0086] Furthermore, the connection method of the connecting part is that the wire group is directly crimped onto the lead-out end of the electrode sheet.
[0087] Furthermore, the insulating sleeve is a temperature-resistant heat shrinkable sleeve.
[0088] A PTC heating device assembly comprises a PTC heating device, a first mounting bracket, a second mounting bracket, and a power supply wiring harness connected to a temperature controller and a temperature fuse, wherein the second mounting bracket is sleeved on the tail end of the heating device, and the tail of the non-electrode lead end of the heating device is coated with a temperature-resistant sealant to completely seal the gap at the tail end of the heating device.
[0089] Furthermore, the heat-conducting aluminum tube at the tail end of the heating device protrudes from the tail end of the heating device by 0.5 to 10 mm, and the bottom surface of the cavity of the second mounting bracket has a cavity for accommodating the protruding part of the tail end of the heat-conducting aluminum tube, and the cavity is filled with insulating sealant.
[0090] Existing technologies: (1) There is no sealant inside the cavity of the tail bracket, and the condensation water generated by the sudden change of ambient temperature when the heater is working can easily penetrate into the tail aluminum tube heating element and cause a short circuit. (2) Linzhi CN302536477S, there is an unsealed step at the tail, which cannot accommodate the sealant. (3) The tail of the aluminum tube heating element is flush with or lower than the tail of the radiator. Effect of the invention: (1) The condensation water generated by the sudden change of ambient temperature when the heater is working cannot penetrate into the tail aluminum tube heating element, causing a short circuit between the internal electrode sheets or on the side of the heating element.

[0095] Further, the chamfers or grooves are recessed toward the side in contact with the heat-generating device, and a sealant is applied in the chamfers or grooves to completely fill the gap at the joint between the peripheral wall openings of the bracket side wall and the heat-generating device.
[0096] Prior art: Gree CN201010245871: (1) All power contacts are exposed on the surface of the bracket, which cannot solve the problems of leakage under sealing and moisture conditions, and is unsafe to use. (2) There are no chamfers or grooves at the joint between the bracket and the heater. (3) There is no sealant at the joint, and the gap at the joint is prone to water seepage, which cannot ensure the sealing performance and avoid water seepage and leakage problems under a moist environment, and is unsafe to use. Creativity of claims 27-29: (1) There is a double and enhanced seal of sealant in the joint gap between the base body of the bracket and the heat-generating device. (2) The chamfers or grooves on the joint surface can effectively store the sealant with better fluidity, completely prevent water seepage, and improve and enhance the waterproof performance.

[0103] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention:
[0104] 1. Prior art: The conductive adhesive is used between the heating sheet and the electrode sheet. Since the conductive adhesive contains a large amount of metal conductive powder, the bonding strength of the adhesive is greatly reduced. 2. The silicone rubber that rapidly solidifies naturally at room temperature is used, resulting in high production and storage costs and inconvenient use. 3. The existing heating core forms side grooves after rolling, which has a positive effect on improving the contact between the heating element, the electrode sheet and the heating surface of the aluminum tube, and improving the thermal efficiency. The present invention can greatly improve and enhance the bending caused by the stress released due to the change in the thickness state of the heating core after rolling, and ensure the flatness and non-deformation of the product after rolling. For products with a length of 500 - 1000 mm or more (wall-mounted and cabinet-type air conditioners between 1.5 hp and 5 hp), the side reinforcing ribs can greatly improve the bending and folding resistance strength, and effectively eliminate and reduce the deformation caused by external forces during turnover, transportation and installation. In addition, the side reinforcing ribs can also greatly improve and enhance the wrapping strength of the heat-conducting aluminum tube around the internal heating element, conductive electrode sheet and insulating layer, and effectively eliminate the loosening of the heat-conducting aluminum tube caused by the release of thermal stress due to the instantaneous cold and heat shock during the frequent operation startup - heating - shutdown cooling process of the heating body inside the tube, resulting in gaps between the internal heating element, conductive electrode and insulating layer, and the common surface charging, leakage, short circuit and breakdown, explosion, burning of flammable plastics in the indoor unit and other series of major and malignant safety accidents caused by the contact gap. (1) Since the indentation size of the aluminum tube into the inner cavity of the aluminum tube during the rolling process after tube threading is smaller than that without the reinforcing ribs, it is possible to reduce the safety hazard of non-insulation caused by the extrusion of the side wall of the tube on the insulating film during the pressing process; (2) The side reinforcing ribs are more beneficial to eliminating the irregular extension of the aluminum tube heating body in the length and width directions during the rolling of the aluminum tube after tube threading when eliminating the gaps between the parts inside the tube and between the tube walls (including the extension of the wall thickness of the aluminum tube itself). On the premise of uniform extension, the electrode sheet, insulating film and PTC heating element inside the aluminum tube will be tightly combined with the inner wall of the aluminum tube in all directions, which will have a positive effect on improving the thermal efficiency, anti-aging performance and long-term use reliability of the product; (3) On the premise of uniform shrinkage of the aluminum tube and closer combination between the parts inside the tube, it also has an obvious improvement effect on reducing the operating noise caused by cold and heat shock of the product.
[0105] There is no reinforcing rib and there are less than 3 sets of rollers. It can only adjust the pressure and cannot adjust the distance between the two rollers. 2. Invention effects: (1) For claims 1 and 2-1, since the surface contact area between the PTC heating sheet and the electrode strip is not an absolute mirror surface, it conducts electricity based on the corresponding minute protruding points in contact, and the concave points store silicone to maintain the bonding strength. By rolling the heat-conducting surface of the heat-conducting aluminum tube, the conductive contact points are evenly distributed, and the concave points storing silicone are tight and uniform, that is, both reliable and uniform electrical contact points are ensured, the current distribution is uniform, the contact resistance is eliminated, and at the same time, the silicone stored in the concave points between the corresponding contact heat-conducting surfaces is also evenly distributed, ensuring the connection and contact strength. (2) For claims 3 and 4, the reinforcing rib: the thickness of the heating core after pressing can be accurately set. On the basis of the gradually decreasing thickness, the contact and fit between the heating element in the heat-conducting aluminum tube and the heat-conducting aluminum tube are closer. 2. By gradually and slightly reducing the thickness of the heating core, it is ensured that the heating element in the tube does not crack or break after pressing, there is no gap between the sheets, and the combination between the heating element and the electrode sheet is firm. Example: The designed gap of the first group of rollers is 0.05 mm, which has the effect of evenly and tightly fitting the high-viscosity silicone between the heating element and the electrode sheet, ensuring that due to the uniform pressing of the silicone, the adjacent heating elements and between them and the electrode sheet are reliably positioned due to the adhesive effect of the glue and do not displace or have gaps. On this basis, the subsequent groups of rollers are gradually pressurized to make the contact surfaces between the various fittings in the tube fit more tightly. Especially for the brittleness of the ceramic heating element, it is significantly improved under the state of slowly, evenly and gradually increasing the pressure in the linear and the entire surface directions of the heat-conducting width. It eliminates the major safety accidents such as short circuits and open circuits of the heating device caused by the cracks and breakage of the heating element that are unavoidable in the existing technology during pressing, and the durability hidden dangers such as power attenuation and reduced service life caused by the de-bonding or uneven fitting between the heating element and the electrode sheet.
[0106] 2. Adopt a shovel-tooth type heat sink. 1. Increase the heat dissipation area. 2. Reduce the aluminum material cost. 3. The shape of the heat sink can achieve storing and accommodating the condensed water droplets caused by the surface temperature difference of the heater after shutdown, eliminating the functional defects caused by this part of the water droplets being blown into the room with the instantaneous heat exchange air volume when starting to work again.
[0107] 3. Adopt the design that the periphery of the joint between the insulating film at the electrode lead-out end part of the heating core and the heat-conducting aluminum tube is coated with a temperature-resistant insulating sealant, which can effectively prevent the condensed water droplets from infiltrating into the gap between the heating core and the inside of the heat-conducting aluminum tube through the gap at the joint between the heat-conducting aluminum tube and the heating core when the heating device is used in a humid environment, resulting in the leakage and non-insulation of the heating device caused by the water droplets invading between the electrode strip and the PTC heating sheet covered by the insulating film, and even major safety accidents such as short circuits, breakdowns, explosions, fires and leakage of electrical products such as air conditioners using PTC heating devices.
[0108] 4. Temperature control and fuse cavity: (1) Applicable to assemblies with charged surfaces and assemblies with insulated surfaces. (2) For heat-generating devices with charged surfaces, since the surface of the heat sink is charged and the surface of the round tubular fuse is also charged, the prior art has adopted radiative temperature sensing. That is, the temperature control and fuse are installed in a space with a certain electrical clearance and safety distance from the heat-generating device, and accessories such as sheet metal need to be installed additionally, resulting in high costs and low assembly efficiency. In addition, due to the use of thermal radiation temperature sensing, there are also functional defects such as longer action time, poor sensitivity and reliability. The temperature control and fuse of the present invention are attached to the heat-generating surface of the heat-generating device, with high temperature sensing accuracy and fast abnormal temperature action, effectively improving the reliability. (3) By adopting the present invention, the existing temperature sensing method of temperature control and fuse protection can be changed to conductive temperature sensing with the temperature sensing surface closely attached to the heat-generating surface of the heat-generating device. Whether the heat-generating device is charged or not, the temperature sensing control element does not contact the heat sink, which not only improves the safety and reliability of the product, but also greatly reduces the cost of the product and improves the assembly production efficiency. Fuse lead positioning cavity: (1) Deficiencies of the prior art: Since the input and output power leads of the general cylindrical fuse are at its two ends respectively, and one of the leads has the same polarity as the surface metal shell of the fuse, it is easy to cause the two leads to short-circuit while the two fuses of the fuse short-circuit and do not work. (2) In the prior art, the fuse and its power input and output ends are both positioned in the same cavity, and its two different power leads are both positioned in the same cavity. Moreover, due to the limitation of the internal space of the cavity, one lead of the fuse can only be bent by more than 180° at its root and then closely attached to its outer shell to be led out. With a little external force, it is extremely easy to cause the fracture or detachment of the root, and at the same time, it also causes the displacement of the fuse, affecting the temperature control accuracy and protection function of the fuse. Invention points: (1) A separate fuse lead positioning groove is provided. The power lead positioned in this groove can be bent by two angles less than 90° at a position far from the root in the oral cavity of the positioned fuse, so that the power lead is led out from this cavity groove. No matter how large the external force is, the stress point can only be on the notch end wall passing through the fuse lead, without any potential risk of displacement of the fuse. (2) Greatly improves the working reliability of the fuse. (3) The two power leads with different polarities are respectively located in two different cavities, completely avoiding the hidden danger of short-circuit between the leads, and the use safety is also reliably improved, guaranteed and enhanced.
[0109] 5. (1) The temperature controller is located in the cavity of the bracket base. When the heating device is in a ventilated working state, the temperature change of the temperature sensing surface of the thermostat and the difference in the dry burning state during abnormal conditions are not obvious, and it takes a relatively long recovery time for the temperature of the temperature sensing surface to reach the protection temperature. (2) The temperature difference between the ventilated state and the dry burning state is not obvious, which easily leads to malfunction. (3) The temperature control cavity is placed inside the seat of the bracket, occupying a large space, and easily causing interference between the power supply lines and connection points of different polarities inside the cavity of the seat body, resulting in major safety accidents such as short circuits or creepage. 3. Invention effects: (1) The temperature difference between the temperature sensing surfaces of the temperature controller and the thermal fuse is significantly different under normal working conditions of heating and ventilation and abnormal conditions of heating without ventilation. That is, when the fan motor fails and the PTC heater is in an abnormal working state of dry burning without air, the temperature difference between the temperature controller and the thermal fuse located on the surface of the bracket and the working state of ventilation and heating is more obvious. In the state of dry burning without ventilation, it can effectively disconnect and protect instantly. (2) Because the temperature controller and the thermal fuse are directly cooled by the circulating natural wind in the ventilated working state, it reliably avoids malfunction caused by poor heat dissipation of the temperature sensing surfaces of the temperature controller and the thermal fuse in the ventilated working state. (3) The temperature controller and the thermal fuse are attached to the surface of the radiator of the PTC heating device, without occupying the volume of the cavity where the electrode lead-out ends and power connection points are located in the first mounting bracket base, providing a larger installation space between the power supply lines and connection points of different polarities of the temperature control and the fuse and separating them, effectively ensuring sufficient creepage distance and electrical clearance.
[0110] 6. (1) The small cavity extends outwards in the opposite direction of the head of the heating device where the power supply is introduced, without occupying the volume of the cavity of the seat body, providing sufficient space to separate the power supply lines and connection points of different polarities of the temperature control and the fuse and ensuring sufficient creepage distance and electrical clearance, and the material cost is also relatively low. (2) There is an insulating and heat-resistant partition wall between the temperature sensing surface of the thermostat and the heating surface of the heating device. The temperature sensing surface is attached to the insulating partition wall adjacent to the heating surface of the heating device, without potential safety hazards such as electric leakage, creepage, and malfunction. (3) The small cavity, the introduced power supply line, and all the live connection points are placed inside the large cavity of the seat body, without interference of different polarities, and water droplets cannot penetrate into the cavity containing the temperature controller and the thermal fuse, greatly improving and enhancing the reliability and safety of use. (4) In the ventilated working state, the cavity containing the thermostat / fuse has the same heat exchange conditions as the heating device, and the temperature is much lower than that in the dry burning and non-ventilated state. This can ensure that the protection temperature point of the temperature control is quickly reached in the abnormal state of dry burning without air, achieving sensitive protection, and ensuring no malfunction in the working state due to the large temperature difference between the dry burning without air state and the ventilated working state. This ensures the reliability of the product.
[0111] 7. (1) It greatly improves the sealing and insulation performance, that is, it ensures the reliable sealing and insulation of the live parts, and can also avoid the overflow and waste of the sealant. (2) It improves the operability and process consistency of mass production, and greatly improves the production efficiency. (3) In the environment where the electrical connection part and the power cord lead-out end are all immersed in water, it can still ensure that the live part of the heating device and its surface do not leak electricity. (4) It completely solves the problems of water seepage and electric leakage of the heater when used in a humid environment, and fundamentally solves the waterproof performance and the safety and reliability of use. Example: The structure diagram of the Midea model bracket.
[0112] 8. (1) The wire harness is tightly pressed and sealed through the sealing ring, and together with the sealant at the joint of the sealant, it completely eliminates the hidden danger of moisture-laden air and water droplets seeping into the cavity of the seat body. Even if the first bracket is immersed in water, it can still ensure that the live connection points in the cavity of the first bracket are completely sealed. Structurally, it completely solves the hidden dangers of electric leakage and short circuit when used in a humid environment and an immersion environment, and greatly improves the safety and reliability. (2) The third through hole forms an embedded mating structure, which increases the mating accuracy and bonding strength.
[0113] 9. (1) It prevents the condensed water generated by the sudden change of the environmental temperature during the operation of the heater from seeping into the internal part of the tail aluminum tube heating element, resulting in the accumulation of water droplets between the internal electrode plates or on the side area of the heating element, which may cause a short circuit. (2) It makes up for the fitting gap between the tail heating element and the radiator caused by tooling and human negligence during the device forming and curing process, eliminates the glue opening and degumming between the heating element and the radiator caused by this, ensures the bonding strength of the heater, and guarantees the heat dissipation effect, safety and reliability. It improves the safety and reliability of the heating device.
[0114] 10. It makes up for the fitting gap between the tail heating element and the radiator caused by tooling and human negligence during the device forming and curing process, eliminates the glue opening and degumming between the heating element and the radiator caused by this, ensures the bonding strength of the heater, and guarantees the heat dissipation effect, safety and reliability. It improves the safety and reliability of the heating device.
[0115] 11. (1) The joint gap between the seat body of the bracket and the heating device is double-sealed and strengthened with sealant. (2) The chamfer or groove on the joint surface can effectively store the sealant with better fluidity, completely eliminate water seepage, and improve and enhance the waterproof performance. (3) The sealant stored at the chamfer increases the bonding area, improves the bonding strength, extends the service life, and eliminates the electric leakage and short circuit caused by moisture and condensed water droplets.

The heat-resistant insulating silica gel 4 has at least two components, and at least one of the components is liquid at room temperature. The two silica gels are configured in a ratio of approximately 1:1 and fully mixed to form a synthetic silica gel with good fluidity. The preparation process of the heat-conducting aluminum tube 1 includes the following steps:
[0140] 1) Melting and softening aluminum ingots in a special melting furnace;
[0141] 2) Then stretching the softened aluminum liquid with a certain strength at the furnace mouth through a special die cavity to the outside of the furnace, and the die cavity is located at the furnace mouth of the melting furnace;
[0142] 3) The softened aluminum liquid is rapidly cooled during the uniform stretching process in a room temperature environment to form a flat and long hollow heat-conducting aluminum tube.
[0143] The radiator 6 is a corrugated heat dissipation strip. The heating core is inserted into the flat and long cavity of the heat-conducting aluminum tube 1 to form an aluminum tube heating body. By gradually rolling the heat-conducting plane of the heating body, all the gaps between the PTC heating sheets 3, the electrode strips 2 and the heat-resistant insulating film 5 in the heating core inserted into the cavity of the heat-conducting aluminum tube 1 and between the heat-conducting plane of the heating core and the inner wall of the heat-conducting aluminum tube 1 are eliminated and tightly adhered to each other to form a PTC heating body. The heat-conducting plane of the PTC heating body is attached to the corresponding heat-conducting plane of the heat dissipation strip, and synthetic silica gel is applied at the attachment. At a temperature of 150 - 300 °C and for a time of more than 5 minutes, the synthetic silica gel is completely cured, and the heat-conducting aluminum tube 1 heating body and the heat dissipation strip are firmly bonded into one body.

The distance between the rolling surfaces of each group of rollers can be finely adjusted. After being successively rolled by each group of rollers, the thickness of the heating element is gradually reduced by 0.01 - 0.25 mm respectively compared to before rolling.
