Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] An explosion-proof heater is a device used for heating in hazardous environments. Its main feature is that it has explosion-proof performance and can be safely used in flammable and explosive gas environments. Its working principle is to convert electrical energy into thermal energy through electric heating elements to heat fluids or solids.
[0003] The existing patent application number is: 2021100073746, which discloses a safe explosion-proof thermal oil electric heater and a heating method thereof. The electric heating device is started, and the thermal oil in the shell is heated by using the heating tube. At the same time, the motor is started to drive the driving shaft to rotate, thereby driving multiple first stirring blades on the driving shaft to stir the thermal oil in the heating tube, so that the thermal oil between the heating tubes is evenly heated. The first driving bevel gear on the driving shaft is meshed with the first driven bevel gear, thereby driving the driven shaft to rotate, and the second driven bevel gear is meshed with the second driving bevel gear, driving the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the second stirring blades stir the heating tube and the shell. The heat transfer oil between the inner walls is stirred, so that the heat transfer oil between the heating tube and the inner wall of the shell is evenly heated, avoiding the situation where the heat transfer oil is heated unevenly; when the heater is in operation, the internal liquid is stirred to ensure uniform heating, thereby preventing the danger caused by the temperature difference caused by uneven heating. However, when the above heater stirs the liquid, the stirring direction is single, resulting in insufficient mixing uniformity and slow speed. At the same time, the internal structure of the heater shell is relatively simple, which is only a simple single-layer protective layer. When encountering the danger of explosion, it is difficult to effectively prevent the occurrence of explosion, resulting in the generation of danger;
