However, there are many heat exchange links between the carbon fiber heating tube and the object to be heated, including at least a carbon fiber heating element, a heat-conducting medium and a quartz tube, which increases the thermal resistance and reduces the utilization rate of electric energy.

[0010] A further solution is that each of the elastic contact pieces is an arc-shaped strip structure, and under the action of the spring, a plurality of the elastic contact pieces form a claw-shaped structure.

[0011] A further solution is that two molybdenum sheets are arranged inside the duckbill structure, and the metal wire is fixed between the two molybdenum sheets.

[0012] A further solution is that the quartz tube is provided with air holes.

[0013] A further solution is that the metal wire is a tungsten wire.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are: the heating layer of the utility model adopts a graphene layer, and uses a small-diameter inner wall coating to generate heat, thereby reducing thermal resistance, improving heat exchange efficiency and infrared conversion efficiency, extending the working life in the high-temperature domain, reducing heat loss of the quick-heat pipe during the heating process, and improving the utilization rate of electrical energy.

In order to facilitate installation, the two ends of the quartz tube 1 are thermoplastically pressed into a duckbill structure 2, and the metal wires 4 penetrate the duckbill structure 2 and are fixedly connected to the duckbill structure 2. An air hole 3 is opened on the quartz tube 1 to prevent the quartz tube 1 from breaking during the thermoplastic pressing process of the duckbill structure 2. It should be noted that after the duckbill structure 2 is formed, argon or other protective gas needs to be filled into the quartz tube through the air hole 3, and then the air hole 3 is sealed by high-temperature melting technology.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure that the metal wire 4 and the graphene layer 5 are electrically conductive regardless of whether the quick heat pipe is powered on or off, in this embodiment, the elastic connector 10 includes a connecting rod 6, one end of which is evenly provided with four elastic contact pieces 8 along the circumferential direction. The elastic contact pieces 8 are made of metal, and are interference-fitted with the graphene layer 5 and electrically conductively connected. Each of the elastic contact pieces 8 is an arc-shaped strip structure, and the four elastic contact pieces 8 form a claw structure. The metal wire 4 is arranged inside the connecting rod 6, and one end of the metal wire 4 is connected to the elastic contact piece 8, and the other end of the metal wire 4 extends to the outside of the connecting rod 6. In order to prevent the elastic contact piece 8 from deforming, a support column 7 is also provided at one end of the connecting rod 6 close to the elastic contact piece 8, and the support column 7 is provided with four springs 9 along the radial direction. The number and position of the springs 9 are adapted to the elastic contact piece 8, so that one end of each spring 9 is connected to the support column 7, and the other end of the spring 9 is connected to the elastic contact piece 8.
