[0044] Example 1 In view of the aforementioned defects in existing heating rods, the applicant, based on its many years of practical experience and professional knowledge in the design and manufacture of such products, and in conjunction with the application of theoretical principles, has actively conducted research and innovation in order to create a solution that can overcome the defects in the existing technology and make the rod-shaped heating element more practical.
[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 , or refer to Figures 10 to 17 The present invention discloses a rod-shaped heating part, including a rod-shaped body 1, and a plurality of fluid channels are provided inside the rod-shaped body 1 along the axial direction; at least one fluid channel forms a flow channel 101 and at least one fluid channel forms a return channel 102.
[0046] In a rod-shaped body 1, fluid can flow into the flow channel 101 from one end of the rod-shaped body 1 and flow in the first direction; the same fluid can flow into the return channel 102 from the other end of the rod-shaped body 1 and flow out from the return channel 102 in the opposite direction of the first direction.
[0047] The rod-shaped heating element in this embodiment features a cleverly optimized structure. The rod-shaped body 1 of the heating element has an axially oriented flow channel 101 and a return channel 102. The same fluid can flow back and forth along the heating element, heating it to dry items such as towels. In this embodiment, the fluid flows into the flow channel 101 and along a first direction, while the same fluid can flow into the return channel 102 at the other end of the heating element and exit from the return channel 102 in the opposite direction of the first direction. This avoids the situation where one end of the existing rod-shaped heating element has a significantly higher temperature than the other, effectively improving the temperature uniformity of the heating element and enhancing the uniform drying effect on the items to be dried. It should also be noted that the fluid can be a gas or a liquid.
[0048] It should be further explained that when the fluid flows along the delivery channel 101, the temperature is transferred to the outer periphery of the rod-shaped body 1 to dry the object, and the fluid temperature gradually decreases; however, when the fluid flows in the return channel 102, the fluid temperature gradually decreases along the flow direction; but the flow direction of the fluid in the delivery channel 101 is opposite to that in the return channel 102, so the fluid with the highest temperature in the delivery channel 101 can transfer heat to the fluid with the lowest temperature in the return channel 102, thereby uniformizing the temperature and making the temperature of the outer periphery of the rod-shaped heating part more uniform.
[0049] Optionally, the rod-shaped body 1 includes a hollow rod 11 and a partition structure 12 disposed in the hollow rod 11. The partition structure 12 separates the flow channel 101 and the return channel 102. The flow channel 101 and the return channel 102 are symmetrically arranged about the partition structure 12, so that the fluid flows more smoothly in the rod-shaped body 1, avoiding the situation where there is too little fluid in one of the fluid channels, which is conducive to further improving the temperature uniformity of the rod-shaped heating part.
[0050] It should also be noted that the heat from the flow channel 101 can be transferred to the return channel 102 through the partition structure 12, improving the temperature uniformity of the outer periphery of the hollow rod 11. Preferably, both the partition structure 12 and the hollow rod 11 are made of materials with high thermal conductivity. For example, both the partition structure 12 and the hollow rod 11 are made of aluminum alloy, or stainless steel or other metals or alloys.
[0051] Optionally, the partition structure 12 includes partition plates, that is, the partition structure 12 includes one or more partition plates, the flow channel 101 and the return channel 102 are located on opposite sides of the partition plates, and a heat transfer enhancement part 121 is provided protruding on at least one side of the partition plate. Specifically, the heat on one side of the heat transfer enhancement part 121 can be transferred to the partition plate and then transferred to another fluid channel through the partition plate. The heat is transferred between the adjacent flow channel 101 and the return channel 102, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the fluid in the flow channel 101 and the return channel 102, which is beneficial to further improve the temperature uniformity of the outer periphery of the hollow rod 11.
[0052] Preferably, heat transfer enhancement sections 121 are provided on both sides of the partition plate to further improve the heat transfer effect, so that more heat from the fluid in the high-temperature delivery channel 101 can be transferred to the fluid in the low-temperature return channel 102, thereby balancing the temperature of the delivery channel 101 and the return channel 102 and improving temperature uniformity.
[0053] Optionally, the heat transfer enhancement section 121 includes a plurality of strip-shaped protrusions parallel to the centerline of the rod-shaped body 1. The heat transfer enhancement section 121 extends along the centerline of the hollow rod body 11 and has a gas guiding effect, which can reduce gas turbulence and improve the smoothness of fluid flow.
[0054] Optionally, the cross-section of the partition structure 12 is grid-like along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the rod-shaped body 1, thereby constructing multiple fluid channels. Preferably, the partition structure 12 is spider web-like, divided into several outer rings of flow channels 101 and several inner rings of return channels 102, with each flow channel 101 corresponding to a nearest return channel 102.
[0055] Optionally, all the fluid channels are arranged in a circumferential array around the center line of the rod-shaped body 1, and the flow channel 101 and the return channel 102 are arranged alternately around the array direction, thereby further improving the temperature uniformity of the rod-shaped body 1.
[0056] Optionally, the flow channel 101 and / or the return channel 102 are asymmetrical structures. It should be noted that even if the flow cross-sectional area of the flow channel 101 is larger than that of the return channel 102, it still has the effect of improving the uniformity of the rod-shaped heating section, but the uniformity effect will decrease.
[0057] Optionally, the rod-shaped body 1 further includes a reserved functional cavity 103, which is not connected to the flow channel 101 or the return channel 102. It should be noted that the reserved functional cavity 103 is used for threading connecting wires, constructing an insulation cavity, or storing components. Preferably, the length of the reserved functional cavity 103 is the same as the length of the flow channel 101, but the length of the reserved functional cavity 103 can also be shorter than the length of the flow channel 101. Preferably, a fluid channel can be used as the reserved functional cavity 103.
[0058] Optionally, in the rod-shaped body 1, one flow channel 101 is connected to only one return channel 102. Alternatively, in the rod-shaped body 1, one flow channel 101 is connected to at least two return channels 102.
[0059] Optionally, a return structure 14 is formed at the tail end of the rod-shaped body 1. The return structure 14 forms a reversing communication hole 141 connecting the other end of the flow channel 101 and the other end of the return channel 102. Specifically, the return structure 14 is an integral structure with the rod-shaped body 1, and fluid return can be achieved without the need for additional installation of other components.
[0060] Optionally, the rod-shaped heating element further includes an end reversing member 2, which forms an insertion hole 21 for insertion into the tail end of the rod-shaped body 1. The insertion hole 21 forms a reversing communication cavity 201, which connects the other end of the flow channel 101 and the other end of the return channel 102. Specifically, the end reversing member 2 is detachably installed at the end of the rod-shaped body 1, and is a detachable structure, which facilitates inspection of the internal structure and replacement and maintenance.
[0061] Optionally, the end reversing member 2 forms several mutually separated reversing communication cavities 201; different reversing communication cavities 201 are used to connect different flow delivery channels 101 and return channels 102. Specifically, the mutually connected flow delivery channels 101 and return channels 102 are called complete foldback channels. The fluids in different complete foldback channels do not affect each other during flow, which can effectively reduce turbulence and also well plan the flow rate of each complete foldback channel.
[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the insertion hole 21 includes a first columnar hole segment 211 and a second columnar hole segment 212. The first columnar hole segment 211 matches the outer peripheral shape of the rod-shaped body 1, and a positioning step 213 is formed between the second columnar hole segment 212 and the first columnar hole segment 211 to position and stop the end of the rod-shaped body 1. Specifically, the positioning step 213 makes the insertion depth of the tail end of the rod-shaped body 1 more reasonable and accurate, reduces the difficulty of assembly, and improves the assembly efficiency.
[0063] Example 2 This embodiment discloses a heating device, including a rod-shaped heating element as described in any one of Embodiment 1. For the specific structure of the heating device, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1 to 9 Or refer to Figures 10 to 17 .
[0064] Optionally, the heating device further includes a housing 3; the housing 3 is provided with a separated supply cavity 301 and a return cavity 302, the supply cavity 301 is provided with a first docking portion 31, and the return cavity 302 is provided with a second docking portion 32; when the rod-shaped body 1 is inserted into the housing 3 along a set direction, the first pair of interfaces are sealed and connected with the first docking portion 31, so that the supply cavity 301 is connected to the flow channel 101 to form a supply fluid passage; the second pair of interfaces are sealed and connected with the second docking portion 32, so that the return channel 102 is connected to the return cavity 302 to form a return fluid passage, and the supply fluid passage and the return fluid passage are separated from each other. In this embodiment, the supply fluid passage and the return fluid passage can be distinguished by a single insertion of the rod-shaped body 1, which can effectively reduce the assembly complexity and simplify the structure of the heating device.
[0065] Optionally, the housing 3 is provided with a plug hole 303; the first docking part 31 and the second docking part 32 are both provided in the plug hole 303, and one plug hole 303 is plugged into and connected to a rod-shaped heating part, which further simplifies the installation.
[0066] Optionally, the heating device further includes a seal 4; the seal 4 is installed in the insertion hole 303, and the seal 4 forms a first through hole 401 and a second through hole 402, as well as an intermediate partition 403 separating the first through hole 401 and the second through hole 402; the first through hole 401 connects the first mating interface and the first docking portion 31, and the second through hole 402 connects the second mating interface and the second docking portion 32. In this embodiment, the structure of the seal 4 is optimized, so that one seal 4 can simultaneously achieve the sealing effect of the supply fluid passage and the return fluid passage, further simplifying the structure, reducing the number of parts, and improving the stability of the seal.
[0067] Optionally, the heating device also includes a positioning and anti-rotation structure; the positioning and anti-rotation structure is used to restrict the rod-shaped heating part inserted into the insertion hole 303 from rotating around the center line of the insertion hole 303. Specifically, if the rod-shaped body 1 rotates relative to the center line of the insertion hole 303, cross-current may occur. The positioning and anti-rotation structure can effectively position the rod-shaped heating part and prevent it from rotating.
[0068] Optionally, the positioning and anti-rotation structure can be a snap-fit structure 51, a slotted key structure, or an anti-rotation pin structure. For example... Figure 15 As shown, the snap-fit structure 51 includes a snap-fit groove 511 and a snap-fit protrusion 512. The snap-fit groove 511 can be disposed in the insertion hole 303 or on the rod-shaped heating part, and the snap-fit protrusion 512 should be disposed on the rod-shaped heating part or in the insertion hole 303 respectively.
[0069] Optionally, the heating device further includes a fluid heating component and a fluid circulation drive device 6; the fluid heating component is used to heat the fluid flowing from the return chamber 302 to the supply chamber 301, and the fluid circulation drive device 6 drives the fluid to circulate along the supply chamber 301, the delivery channel 11, the return channel 12 and the return chamber 302.
