Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pipeline heating equipment, and in particular to a heating body assembly. Background Art
[0002] Thick-film heating technology is finding increasing applications as thick-film sintering technology matures. Used in electric water heaters, this technology primarily involves sintering a thick-film heating layer onto a metal thermally conductive element. As water contacts and passes through the thermally conductive element, it absorbs heat, raising the outlet temperature. Thick-film heaters are commonly used to heat liquids, and are generally available in two types: plate-type and tubular. Existing tubular thick-film heaters utilize a thick-film circuit printed on the outer wall of a metal heating tube. When energized, this thick-film circuit generates heat, heating the liquid within the tube.
[0003] In the heating body components of some existing thick film heaters, the water flow rate is too fast relative to the metal heat conducting element, the heat exchange between the metal heat conducting element and the internal water is insufficient, the heat exchange efficiency is low, and the outlet water temperature is low, which cannot meet the use requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (1) Technical issues to be resolved
[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a heating body assembly in which the water flow rate is slower than that of the metal heating tube, so that the heat exchange between the water and the heating tube is more sufficient; and the water in the first spiral guide channel and the second spiral guide channel flows from bottom to top, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency, ensuring a higher water outlet temperature, and meeting the use requirements.

The channel can slow down the flow rate of water, making the heat exchange longer and more sufficient. In the heating body assembly of the present invention, the water flow rate is slower than that of the metal heating tube, making the heat exchange between the water and the heating tube more sufficient. Moreover, the water in the first spiral guide channel and the second spiral guide channel flows from bottom to top, which improves the heat exchange efficiency and ensures a high water outlet temperature to meet the use requirements. When the heating tube heats up, part of the heat is transferred to the water inside to heat the water; another part of the heat is transferred to the air outside the heating tube. After the air is heated, it rises, causing the heat outside the heating tube to rise and accumulate in the upper part, making the upper part of the heating tube generate more heat than the lower part. In the two spiral guide channels of the heating body assembly, the water flows from bottom to top. The water is first heated by the low-temperature zone at the bottom of the heating tube. The water after the preliminary heating flows spirally upward to the high-temperature zone at the top of the heating tube. At this time, the water after the preliminary heating is further heated by the high-temperature zone, so that the water can have a large heat exchange temperature difference between the low-temperature zone and the high-temperature zone, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency and the final water outlet temperature, and provide a good user experience.
[0008] Furthermore, the axial direction of the first tube body and the axial direction of the second tube body are both perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the first spiral guide channel extends spirally along the axial direction of the first tube body, and the second spiral guide channel extends spirally along the axial direction of the second tube body.
[0009] Furthermore, a first spiral guide plate is provided on a protruding outer wall of the first tube body, and the first spiral guide channel is formed between the first tube body, the first heating tube and the first spiral guide plate; a second spiral guide plate is provided on a protruding outer wall of the second tube body, and the second spiral guide channel is formed between the second tube body, the second heating tube and the second spiral guide plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a first communicating hole is provided on the upper portion of the first tube body, and the upper portion of the first spiral guide channel is communicated with the upper portion of the first inner cavity through the first communicating hole.
[0011] Furthermore, a second communicating hole is provided on the upper portion of the second tube body, and the upper portion of the second spiral guide channel is connected with the upper portion of the second inner cavity through the second communicating hole.
[0012] Furthermore, a first channel is connected between the water inlet and the lower portion of the first spiral guide channel, and the first channel extends in a horizontal direction.
[0013] Furthermore, the water outlet is connected to the lower part of the second inner cavity through a second channel, and one end of the second channel away from the water outlet is connected to the first buffer cavity.
[0014] Furthermore, the heating body assembly also includes a hollow outer shell, the first heating tube and the second heating tube are both placed inside the outer shell, and a hot air guide cavity is formed inside the outer shell.
[0015] Furthermore, a third channel is connected between the lower portion of the second spiral guide channel and the lower portion of the first inner cavity; and the third channel extends in a horizontal direction.
[0016] Furthermore, one end of the third channel is connected to the second buffer cavity, and one end of the third channel is connected to the third buffer cavity.
[0017] (3) Beneficial effects

Water enters from the water inlet, flows through the first channel, and changes direction upward to flow into the first spiral guide channel. The water flow direction is reversed at a right angle, which can buffer the water flow speed and reduce the speed of the water entering the first spiral guide channel, so that the heat exchange is sufficient; a hot air guide cavity is formed on the inside of the outer shell. After being heated, the air at the lower outer sides of the first heating tube and the second heating tube is directed upward to the upper part along the hot air guide cavity, so that heat is accumulated in the upper part, and the outer shell plays a role in heat preservation and guidance for the hot air inside; the lower part of the second spiral guide channel is connected to the lower part of the first inner cavity with a third channel, and the water flow rate discharged from the first inner cavity and entering the second spiral guide channel is reduced after being reversed twice at right angles through the third channel, so that heat exchange is sufficient; one end of the third channel is connected to the second buffer cavity, and the other end is connected to the third buffer cavity.
