[0043] A liquid inlet pipe 3 extending in the axial direction and disposed in the accommodating cavity 1a, one end of the liquid inlet pipe 3 being fixedly connected to the liquid inlet connector 21;
[0044] A heating component 4 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 1a, and the heating component 4 includes a supporting component 41 and at least one heating wire 42. Any of the heating wires 42 is arranged in a spiral shape and fixedly arranged on the supporting component 41. Both ends of any of the heating wires 42 are provided with connecting leads 421, and the connecting leads 421 pass through the lead opening 2c and are fixedly connected to the cover body component 2. The heating wire 42 and / or the connecting lead 421 are covered with insulating material.
[0045] The protection switch 5 extends axially and is disposed in the accommodating cavity 1a. One end of the protection switch 5 is fixedly disposed on the protection switch opening 2d. The other end of the protection switch 5 is provided with a detection member 51 for detecting liquid.
[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the housing 1 is arranged from top to bottom, and the cover assembly 2 is arranged at the upper end, and the interior of the housing 1 is the accommodating chamber 1a. The liquid inlet pipe 3 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 1a from top to bottom, and the upper end of the liquid inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet joint 21. Liquid is introduced into the accommodating chamber 1a through the liquid inlet pipe 3, and the liquid gradually rises from the bottom of the housing 1 and flows out of the accommodating chamber 1a from the liquid outlet joint 22. The liquid may be water.
[0047] The supporting assembly 41 in the heating assembly 4 can fix and support the heating wire 42. The connecting lead 421 of the heating wire 42 passes through the lead port 2c and is connected to the power supply. The number of the heating wires 42 is not limited and can be determined according to the actual number of electrical phases. The heating wire 42 is arranged in a spiral shape, which can increase the contact area between the heating wire 42 and the liquid, thereby improving the heating efficiency.
[0048] The protection switch 5 is added to the housing 1. Since the detection member 51 is provided at the lower end of the protection switch 5, the detection member 51 can detect whether the liquid level reaches a preset height. When the detection member 51 can detect the liquid, the heating component 4 works, and the heating wire 42 can heat the liquid in the accommodating chamber 1a; when the detection member 51 does not detect the liquid, the heating component 4 stops working to avoid dry burning of the heating wire 42, thereby improving the safety performance of the online heater. The upper end of the protection switch 5 can be threadedly connected to the protection switch port 2d. The detection member 51 can be a detection radar.
[0049] It should be noted that the fixed connection method described in the present application is not limited. For example, the upper end of the liquid inlet pipe 3 can be threadedly connected to the liquid inlet joint 21, or the upper end of the liquid inlet pipe 3 can be fixed to the liquid inlet joint 21 by a tight fit; the upper end of the protective switch 5 is threadedly connected to the protective switch port 2d, or the upper end of the protective switch 5 can be fixed to the protective switch port 2d by a tight fit; the connecting lead 421 of the heating wire 42 is fixedly connected to the cover body assembly 2, and the connecting lead 421 can be fixed to the cover body assembly 2 by a snap screw.
[0050] Furthermore, the height of the detection member 51 of the protection switch 5 is set between the end of the heating wire 42 close to the cover assembly 2 and the cover assembly 2. This height can avoid partial dry burning of the heating wire 42 and improve the safety performance of the online heater.
[0051] Furthermore, the cover body assembly 2 also includes a temperature sensing line port 2e, and the online heater also includes a PT100 temperature sensing line 6.

The PT100 temperature sensing line 6 is used to detect the temperature of the liquid in the accommodating cavity 1a. The number of the PT100 temperature sensing lines 6 is not limited. For example, two PT100 temperature sensing lines 6 can be set in the shell 1.
[0052] The specific configuration of the support assembly 41 in the present application is not limited. In a specific embodiment, the support assembly 41 includes:
[0053] A fixed sleeve 411 is disposed at one end of the liquid inlet pipe 3 away from the cover assembly 2 and is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet pipe 3;

The positions of the through holes on any two adjacent partitions 412 correspond to each other. The through holes are used for the heating wires 42 to pass through.
[0055] The spacing sleeve 413 is sleeved around the liquid inlet pipe 3 and is disposed between any two adjacent partitions 412 .
[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the spacing sleeve 413 can separate any two adjacent partitions 412, and the spacing sleeve 413 and the partition 412 can prevent the heating wire 42 in the through hole from being entangled and causing local burning, and the fixed sleeve 411 can fix the partition 412 and the spacing sleeve 413 sleeved on the liquid inlet pipe 3. In this embodiment, the number of the partitions 412 and the spacing sleeves 413 is not limited, and the number of the partitions 412 and the spacing sleeves 413 can be adjusted with the length of the heating wire 42. The position and number of the through holes on the partition 412 are also not limited, and the number of the through holes can be adjusted with the number of the heating wires 42. For example, six through holes can be provided on any of the partitions 412, and the six through holes are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference. This structure can ensure that the heating wires 42 are evenly distributed in the accommodating cavity 1a, thereby improving the uniformity of heating of the online heater.

[0061] The first fixing member 23 extends axially and is fixedly connected to one end of the housing 1.
[0062] The second fixing member 24 is sleeved with the first fixing member 23 and fixedly connected to the first fixing member 23. The end of the second fixing member 24 away from the housing 1 extends inward and a gap is provided between the end of the first fixing member 23 away from the housing 1.

[0064] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the first fixing member 23 is arranged at the upper end of the shell 1. Since the upper end of the second fixing member 24 extends inward, it can form the interval with the upper end of the first fixing member 23 and fix the protrusion 251 of the cover body 25, so that this structure can fix the cover body 25.
[0065] The second fixing member 24 is sleeved and fixedly connected to the first fixing member 23 . In a specific embodiment, the second fixing member 24 is connected to the first fixing member 23 by welding.

[0070] The step is welded to the outer wall of the shell 1 , and the step can play a role in quick positioning, which is conducive to quickly placing the first fixing member 23 on the upper end of the shell 1 , and the step facilitates welding the first fixing member 23 and the shell 1 .
[0071] During installation, firstly, the first fixing member 23 is set on the upper end of the shell 1, the outer wall of the shell 1 and the outer ring 231 are welded, and then the cover body 25 is set on the first fixing member 23, and finally the second fixing member 24 is placed on the first fixing member 23 and rotated until the upper end of the second fixing member 24 is tightly fitted with the protrusion 251. The structure is simple and easy to install and disassemble.
[0072] Furthermore, a sealing groove 23 a is provided on the first fixing member 23 , and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove 23 a . The sealing groove 23 a and the sealing ring can increase the sealing performance of the cover assembly 2 to prevent the cover assembly 2 from leaking.
