DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] Example 1: Refer to the attached specification Figure 1-3 The utility model is a heating device for an aircraft wing, comprising an aircraft wing 1, see Figure 1 The bottom of the aircraft wing 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting piece 2, the bottom of the connecting piece 2 is fixedly connected with an engine 3, and a heating ring 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the engine 3, see Figure 3 The outer wall of the heating ring 4 is fixedly connected with a connecting pipe 5, one end of the connecting pipe 5 is fixedly connected with a water inlet of a circulating water pump 6, the water outlet of the circulating water pump 6 is fixedly connected with a heating pipe 7, the outer wall of the circulating water pump 6 is fixedly installed with a protective cover 8, the protective cover 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting piece 2, the connecting pipe 5 and the heating pipe 7 are plugged into the inside of the protective cover 8, the heating pipe 7 is plugged into the inside of the aircraft wing 1, and the heating pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heating ring 4;

[0022] The outer wall of the heating pipe 7 is fixedly connected to a side pipe 9, one end of the side pipe 9 is fixedly connected to a connection box 10, the connection box 10 is fixedly installed inside the connecting piece 2 and the protective cover 8, the inside of the connection box 10 is slidably connected to a seal 11, the top of the seal 11 is fixedly connected to a piston 12, the piston 12 is inserted into the inside of the connection box 10, the top of the piston 12 is fixedly installed with a pressure spring 13, the pressure spring 13 is fixedly installed inside the connection box 10, a heat conducting plate 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the connection box 10, the heat conducting plate 14 is arranged on one side of the seal 11 and the piston 12, the outer wall of the heat conducting plate 14 is fixedly connected to a heat dissipation fin 15, the outer wall of the heat dissipation fin 15 is provided with a chamfer 16, and the top of the connection box 10 is provided with an exhaust port 17.

[0023] It should be noted that, when the aircraft starts the engine 3, the engine 3 will work to generate a large amount of hot exhaust gas discharged from the tail, and the discharged hot exhaust gas will heat the heating ring 4, so that the liquid inside the heating ring 4 is heated, and then the staff can start the circulating water pump 6. The operation of the circulating water pump 6 will drive the liquid inside the heating ring 4, the connecting pipe 5, and the heating pipe 7 to circulate. At this time, the heated liquid inside the heating ring 4 will circulate into the interior of the heating pipe 7 through the connecting pipe 5 and the circulating water pump 6, so that the high-temperature liquid heats the leading edge of the aircraft wing 1 from the inside through the heating pipe 7, so as to prevent the leading edge of the aircraft wing 1 from condensing. Ice or melt the ice that has already formed on the leading edge of the aircraft wing 1 to prevent the ice from increasing the resistance of the aircraft, reducing the lift of the aircraft, and reducing the flight control performance, and to prevent the ice on the aircraft wing 1 from falling off and being drawn into the interior of the engine 3 to damage the internal parts of the engine 3. After the high-temperature liquid heats the leading edge of the aircraft wing 1 through the heating pipe 7, its own heat decreases, and then it continues to slide along the inside of the heating pipe 7 and is discharged into the inside of the heating ring 4 to be heated again. Driven by the circulating water pump 6, it continues to circulate to heat the leading edge of the aircraft wing 1, so as to achieve the effect of heating the aircraft wing 1 and preventing ice from forming;

[0024] Furthermore, when the leading edge temperature of the aircraft wing 1 is heated to a normal level and no longer freezes, the liquid heated to a high temperature will begin to boil, increasing the pressure inside the heating ring 4, the connecting pipe 5, the circulating water pump 6, and the heating pipe 7, thereby causing the liquid to be discharged into the interior of the connecting box 10 through the side pipe 9 and pushing the seal 11 and the piston 12 to slide up along the interior of the connecting box 10 and squeeze the pressure spring 13 to contract, allowing the heat conducting plate 14 blocked by the seal 11 to contact the liquid. At this time, the heat in the liquid is absorbed by the heat conducting plate 14 and transferred to the cooling fins 15, so that the external wind force quickly carries the heat on the cooling fins 15, thereby reducing the temperature of the liquid, preventing the liquid from boiling due to excessive temperature and causing damage to the heating ring 4, the connecting pipe 5, the circulating water pump 6, and the heating pipe 7, thereby affecting the service life. When the temperature of the liquid returns to normal, the pressure spring 13 will push the piston 12 and the seal 11 to reset, so that the seal 11 will discharge the liquid back into the heating ring 4, the connecting pipe 5, the circulating water pump 6, and the heating pipe 7.
