Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PTC heaters, and specifically relates to a PTC heater with enhanced strength. Background Technique

[0002] The PTC heating element, also known as the PTC heater, is composed of a PTC ceramic heating element and an aluminum tube. This type of PTC heating element has the advantages of low thermal resistance and high heat transfer efficiency, and is an automatically constant-temperature and power-saving electric heater. Its prominent feature lies in its safety performance. Under any application conditions, it will not produce the surface "reddening" phenomenon of heaters such as electric heating tubes, thus causing safety hazards such as scalding and fire.

[0003] In the prior art, a PTC heater usually consists of a heating component, a mounting base, and heat sinks. However, the existing PTC heater has low structural strength and is easily damaged when subjected to external collisions, affecting the service life of the PTC heater. Moreover, due to the thin heat sinks of the PTC heater, the edges and corners of the heat sinks are relatively sharp, posing a risk of bruising the staff. For this reason, we propose a PTC heater with enhanced strength. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a PTC heater with enhanced strength to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A PTC heater with enhanced strength, comprising: a heater main body, several heat sinks are arranged on the outer wall of the heater main body, mounting bases are installed at both ends of the heater main body, and a second reinforcing rod is arranged between the two mounting bases;

[0006] A moving groove is opened at one end of the second reinforcing rod, a moving rod is slidably connected inside the moving groove, a spring is connected to the end of the moving rod close to the second reinforcing rod, and a limiting block is installed on the inner wall of the moving groove;

[0007] Connection grooves are opened at the four corners of each heat sink, and a first reinforcing rod is connected to the inner wall of each connection groove.

[0008] Preferably, both of the two mounting bases are U-shaped and symmetrically arranged, and mounting holes are opened at the top wall and the bottom wall of the mutually remote ends of the two mounting bases.

[0009] Preferably, two second reinforcing rods are symmetrically arranged. The two second reinforcing rods are respectively located at the top and the bottom of the heat sinks. One ends of the two moving rods are slidably inserted into the adjacent moving grooves and fixedly connected to the springs, and one ends of the two springs are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the adjacent moving grooves.

[0010] Preferably, four limiting blocks are symmetrically installed inside each of the two moving grooves, and four limiting grooves are formed on the outer walls of the two moving rods close to the adjacent limiting blocks.

[0011] Preferably, one end of each of the two second reinforcing rods and the two moving rods is fixedly connected with a mounting plate, and mounting screws are arranged on the surfaces of the four mounting plates.

[0012] Preferably, there are four first reinforcing rods which are respectively located at the four corners of each heat sink, and fixing plates are fixedly installed at both ends of the four first reinforcing rods, and each fixing plate is fixedly installed on the adjacent mounting seat.

[0013] Preferably, a protective layer is arranged outside each heat sink.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0015] In the utility model, a moving rod is installed between two mounting seats, and a second reinforcing rod is sleeved outside the moving rod, which is convenient for improving the structural strength of the PTC heater. Through the limiting blocks installed on the inner wall of the moving groove, when the moving rod moves due to an external collision, the moving rod can be limited, and the elastic force of the spring can slow down the collision force received, so that the heater main body is not easily damaged by extrusion, so as not to affect the service life of the PTC heater. Through the connecting grooves formed at the four corners of the heat sink and the first reinforcing rods connected in the connecting grooves, the strength of the heat sink can be enhanced, so that it is not easily deformed, and the problem that the edges and corners of the heat sink are relatively sharp and there is a risk of bruising the staff is solved.
