[0035] A first bolt 6 is threadedly inserted in the vertical direction between the four sides of the mounting disk 4 and the corresponding positions on the explosion-proof shell 2. The lower end of the first bolt 6 passes through the upper surface and the lower surface of the corresponding position on the mounting disk 4 and is threadedly inserted into the corresponding position on the explosion-proof shell 2.

The second bolts 7 are in a vertical state and pass through the upper surface and the lower surface of the corresponding position on the mounting plate 5. The second bolts 7 help to install and limit the mounting plate 5.

[0036] The working principle of the utility model is: during use, the lower surface of the mounting plate 5 is corresponded to the position where the outside world needs to install, so that the lower surface of the mounting plate 5 and the position where the outside world needs to install are in a matching and fitting state, and the mounting plate 5 is further installed between the position where the outside world needs to install through the second bolt 7. The second bolt 7 can fix and limit the mounting plate 5, which is convenient for stable use of the mounting plate 5. The mounting plate 5 can support and limit the explosion-proof shell 2, which is helpful for stable use of the explosion-proof shell 2. The explosion-proof shell 2 can support and limit the electric heater body 1 and the various components assembled on the electric heater body 1, which is convenient for stable use of the electric heater body 1 and the various components assembled on the electric heater body 1.

[0037] The end of the liquid inlet pipe 9 away from the explosion-proof shell 2 is installed between the external liquid delivery pipe, and the end of the liquid outlet pipe 10 away from the explosion-proof shell 2 is installed between the external liquid discharge pipe. The external liquid delivery pipe can transport the liquid to be heated into the liquid inlet pipe 9. The first retention hole 11 on the electric heater body 1 and the explosion-proof shell 2 can fix and limit the liquid inlet pipe 9, which is helpful for the stable use of the liquid inlet pipe 9. Further open the flow rate sensor 15, the liquid inlet pipe 9 can fix and limit the flow rate sensor 15, which is convenient for the stable use of the flow rate sensor 15. The liquid can enter the insulation tube 3 through the liquid inlet pipe 9 and the electric heater body 1 and the first through hole 16 on the insulation tube 3. When the liquid flows along the liquid inlet pipe 9 toward the inside of the insulation tube 3, the flow rate sensor 15 can detect the flow rate of the liquid in the liquid inlet pipe 9.

[0038] When the flow rate sensor 15 detects that liquid is flowing in the liquid inlet pipe 9, the flow rate sensor 15 will transmit the detected data information to the PLC controller 13, and the PLC controller 13 will be opened. The mounting disk 4 can fix and limit the PLC controller 13, which is conducive to the stable use of the PLC controller 13. When the PLC controller 13 is in the opened state, after the PLC controller 13 receives the data information that liquid is flowing in the liquid inlet pipe 9 transmitted by the flow rate sensor 15, the PLC controller 13 will open the electric heating tube 8, and the mounting disk 4 can fix and limit the electric heating tube 8, which is convenient for the stable use of the electric heating tube 8. When the electric heating tube 8 is in the opened state, the electric heating tube 8 will heat the liquid entering the insulation tube 3, and the insulation tube 3 can insulate the heat in the insulation tube 3 to avoid the loss of heat inside the insulation tube 3 causing heat waste, which is conducive to the energy-saving use of the electric heater.

[0039] The temperature sensor 14 can detect the temperature of the heated liquid in the insulation tube 3, and the temperature sensor 14 can transmit the detected temperature data information to the PLC controller 13. When the temperature sensor 14 detects that the temperature of the liquid in the insulation tube 3 exceeds the preset value, the PLC controller 13 will close the electric heating tube 8, which can prevent the abnormal temperature in the insulation tube 3 from being too high and causing danger, so as to safely use the electric heater. The liquid after heating in the insulation tube 3 will be discharged into the liquid outlet pipe 10 through the electric heater body 1 and the second through hole 17 on the insulation tube 3. The second retention hole 12 on the electric heater body 1 and the explosion-proof shell 2 can fix and limit the liquid outlet pipe 10, which is helpful for the stable use of the liquid outlet pipe 10. The liquid after heating in the liquid outlet pipe 10 will be transported to the drainage pipe connected to the outside.

[0040] When the external liquid delivery pipeline stops delivering liquid to the liquid inlet pipe 9, the flow rate sensor 15 cannot detect the flow of liquid. The flow rate sensor 15 will close the electric heating tube 8 through the PLC controller 13. When liquid is not delivered to the insulation tube 3, the electric heating tube 8 can be closed in time to prevent waste of electrical energy and thermal energy, which is helpful for energy-saving use of the electric heater. The explosion-proof shell 2 can explosion-proof and protect the outside of the electric heater body 1 to facilitate normal use of the electric heater body 1.

[0041] When it is necessary to disassemble the mounting plate 4 and the explosion-proof shell 2, the first bolt 6 is rotated and removed, so that the first bolt 6 cancels the limit between the mounting plate 4 and the explosion-proof shell 2, so as to facilitate the disassembly and removal of the mounting plate 4. After the mounting plate 4 is disassembled and removed, the various components assembled on the mounting plate 4 can be conveniently repaired, which is helpful for the use of the electric heater.

[0042] During use, it helps to detect the liquid medium flowing in the liquid inlet pipe 9. When the liquid medium is stopped from being transported in the liquid inlet pipe 9, the electric heating tube 8 in the electric heater can be turned off in time to avoid wasting electrical energy and thermal energy, which helps to use the electric heater in an energy-saving manner.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
