[0017] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading this description, various equivalent modifications to the description by those skilled in the art fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.

[0018] Please combine Figures 1 to 4As shown, the heating wire fixing block locking structure of this embodiment includes an electrode rod 1 and a heating wire fixing block 2. A fixing support 3 and a locking block 4 are fixedly mounted on the lower end of the electrode rod 1. Both the fixing support 3 and the locking block 4 can be fixed to the electrode rod 1 by screws. The fixing support is L-shaped, and a space for accommodating the heating wire fixing block 2 is formed between the bent portion thereof and the lower end surface of the electrode rod 1 and the locking block 4. The heating wire fixing block 2 is placed on the fixing support 3.

[0019] The locking block 4 is provided with an elastic pin 5, a locking block 6 and an operating lever 7. The locking block 4 is provided with a step hole 401 in a first direction for placing the elastic pin 5. The spring 5a of the elastic pin 5 is arranged between the elastic pin 5 and the bottom of the step hole 401. When an external force is applied to the top of the elastic pin 5, the elastic pin 5 moves downward and passes through the through hole at the bottom of the step hole 401 to fix the heating wire fixing block 2. Therefore, it can be understood that the heating wire fixing block 2 has the best fixing effect when a hole or a pit matching the elastic pin 5 is arranged on the heating wire fixing block 2. In this embodiment, the aforementioned first direction is the longitudinal direction. Of course, the first direction can be determined according to the actual pinning fixing direction of the heating wire fixing block 2.

[0020] A slideway 402 in the second direction is provided on the locking block 4. The second direction and the first direction are two different directions. In this embodiment, the second direction is horizontal. A locking block 6 that can slide horizontally is provided in the slideway 402. The front end surface of the locking block 6 is a first inclined surface 601. When the elastic pin 5 contacts the first inclined surface 601, the elastic pin 5 is pressed down when the locking block 6 continuously moves forward horizontally. In this embodiment, in order to ensure smooth relative movement between the elastic pin 5 and the locking block 6, the top surface of the elastic pin 5 is also made into an inclined surface. The angle between the first inclined surface 601 and the first direction is 40° to 50°, and is 45° in this embodiment.

[0021] The rear end face of the locking block 6 includes a second inclined surface 602 located at the upper part and a locking surface 603 located at the lower part, and the locking surface 603 is a plane in the same direction as the third direction. In this embodiment, the third direction and the first direction are both longitudinal, the second inclined surface 602 is parallel to the first inclined surface 601, and the angle between the second inclined surface 602 and the third direction is 45°. A guide hole 403 in the third direction is provided on the locking block 4, and the guide hole 403 is connected to the slide 402. The operating lever 7 includes a lever body 7a and a guide rod 7b, the lever body 7a is arranged in the slide 402, and the guide rod 7b is located in the guide hole 403 and fixedly connected to the lever body 7a. The lever body 7a can move up and down in the slide 402 through the guidance of the guide rod 7b. The front end of the lever body 7a cooperates with the rear end face of the locking block 6. Since the second inclined surface 602 is inclined and the locking surface 603 is longitudinally arranged, when the lever body 7a is at the upper part of the slide 402 and the front end of the lever body 7a is located at the second inclined surface 602, the downward movement of the lever body 7a will push the locking block 6 forward. When the lever body 7a is at the lower part of the slide 402 and the front end of the lever body 7a is located at the locking surface 603, the upward and downward movement of the lever body 7a does not affect the locking block 6, and the locking block 6 remains in the same position in the slide 402.

[0022] According to the above embodiment, when the lever body 7a is pressed down, the locking block 6 is first pushed forward in the slideway 402 by the lever body 7a, and the locking block 6 presses down the spring pin 5 through the first inclined surface 601, and the longitudinal movement of the lever body 7a is converted into the longitudinal movement of the spring pin 5 through two conversions, so as to fix the heating wire fixing block 2. When the lever body 7a moves down to its front end to cooperate with the locking surface 603, the locking block 6 no longer changes its position, and the spring pin 5 remains in the extended state, and the locking block 6 is also blocked from moving backward by the lever body 7a, so that the whole structure is in a locked state. When the heating wire fixing block 2 needs to be disassembled, the lever body 7a is lifted up until its front end is at the position of the second inclined surface 602, and the spring pin 5 moves up under the action of the spring 5a and pushes the locking block 6 backward through the first inclined surface 601, so that the spring pin 5 can move up.
