[0023] 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. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] See also Figures 1 - 3The utility model discloses a cartridge heater, comprising a heater body and a power supply circuit. The heater body generates heat when connected to the power supply circuit and energized. A wiring mechanism 3 is provided on the heater body. The wiring mechanism 3 comprises a shell 31, a contact 32 installed in the shell 31, a threaded groove 38 opened in the shell 31 and located at the top of the contact 32, and a locking assembly rotatably installed on the shell 31. The contact 32 is electrically connected to the heater body.

[0025] In one embodiment, the power supply circuit is threadedly matched with the thread groove 38 so that the power supply circuit can approach and contact the contact 32. The locking component is used to rotate synchronously when the power supply circuit rotates in the thread groove 38 and approaches the contact 32, and the locking component is also used to prevent the power supply circuit from rotating in the opposite direction of the thread groove 38 and moving away from the contact 32. The device also includes an unlocking component, which is used to release the braking of the locking component on the power supply circuit.

[0026] In specific implementation, under normal circumstances, the power supply line is threadedly installed into the thread groove 38 on the shell 31. At this time, the contact 8 is in contact with the contact 32. When the power supply line supplies power to the heater body, the heater body will immediately heat up. When the power supply line and the heater body need to be separated for maintenance or replacement, the unlocking component is first used to drive the locking component to release the brake on the power supply line. Then the power supply line can be rotated in the thread groove 38 to move the power supply line to the side away from the contact 32 until the power supply line is detached from the shell 31. At this time, the heater body can be replaced. This method of replacement is very convenient and quick. Moreover, when the locking component does not work in conjunction with the unlocking component, the locking component will prevent the power supply line from rotating in the opposite direction in the thread groove 38 and moving to the side away from the contact 32, so that the power supply line and the wiring mechanism 3 are installed very stably, which solves the problem of inconvenient loading and unloading between the cartridge heater and the power supply line, and insufficient stability after installation.

[0027] In one embodiment, the heater body includes a heating tube 1 and a threaded column 2 installed at one end of the heating tube 1, and the shell 31 is installed at the end of the threaded column 2 away from the heating tube 1. The contact 32 is electrically connected to the heating tube 1. When in use, the heater body can be installed at a fixed point that needs to be heated through the threaded column 2, and the heating tube 1 can be powered on to heat the area that needs to be heated.

[0028] In one embodiment, the power supply circuit includes a connecting wire 4, a contact 8 installed at one end of the connecting wire 4 close to the contact 32, an insert block 5 installed on the connecting wire 4 and having a rectangular shape, and a threaded rod 7 installed on the connecting wire 4 and located between the insert block 5 and the contact 8. The connecting wire 4 is electrically connected to the contact 8, and the threaded rod 7 is threadedly matched with the thread groove 38.

[0029] With such a design, the staff can hold the top of the insertion block 5 and rotate it, causing the threaded rod 7 to rotate synchronously in the threaded groove 38 and move toward the side close to the contact 32 until the contact head 8 contacts the contact 32. Conversely, when the unlocking component drives the locking component to release the braking of the power supply line, the insertion block 5 can be rotated in the reverse direction, causing the threaded rod 7 to rotate synchronously in the threaded groove 38 and move away from the contact 32 until the entire power supply line leaves the housing 31.

[0030] In one embodiment, the locking component includes a ratchet wheel 33 rotatably mounted on the housing 31. A rectangular insertion hole that is in insertion fit with the insertion block 5 is provided at the center of the ratchet wheel 33. The ratchet wheel 33 is located at the top of the threaded groove 38, and the insertion hole communicates with the threaded groove 38. A ratchet pawl 35 that cooperates with the ratchet wheel 33 is also rotatably provided on the housing 31. The ratchet pawl 35 has a reset function, and the unlocking component is used to separate the ratchet pawl 35 from the ratchet wheel 33.

[0031] In specific implementation, when the power supply line needs to be installed on the housing 31, the threaded rod 7 approaches the threaded groove 38 and rotates and inserts into it. At this time, the insertion block 5 is inserted into the insertion hole on the ratchet wheel 33, and the ratchet wheel 33 rotates synchronously with the threaded rod 7 in one direction, while the ratchet pawl 35 does not resist the ratchet wheel 33 at this time, enabling the ratchet wheel 33 to rotate normally. When the ratchet wheel 33 needs to rotate in the other direction, the ratchet pawl 35 will abut against the ratchet wheel 33, thereby preventing the ratchet wheel 33 from rotating in the other direction. Therefore, when the unlocking component does not separate the ratchet pawl 35 from the ratchet wheel 33, the power supply line cannot leave the housing 31 to ensure the stability of its connection.

[0032] In one embodiment, the device further includes a sealing cover 34 provided on the top of the housing 31. The sealing cover 34 is in insertion fit with the top of the housing 31. The insertion block 5 penetrates the top wall of the sealing cover 34. When the insertion block 5 rotates, the sealing cover 34 does not rotate. A sealing piece 6 is installed on the insertion block 5, and the sealing piece 6 covers the part where the insertion block 5 penetrates the sealing cover 34 to seal this part.

[0033] In specific implementation, since the connection between the power supply line and the housing 31 is exposed and not sealed, this part needs to be sealed. During use, during the process of the insertion block 5 rotating and moving toward the side close to the contact 32, the sealing piece 6 will move synchronously, and the sealing piece 6 will drive the sealing cover 34 to approach the housing 31 and make the sealing cover 34 inserted into the housing 31. There is an opening (not shown in the figure) at the top wall of the sealing cover 34. The insertion block 5 penetrates the opening, and the sealing piece 6 is located directly above the opening, and the insertion block 5 is not connected to the corresponding opening of the sealing piece 6. Therefore, when the insertion block 5 rotates, the sealing cover 34 will not rotate synchronously. After the power supply line is completely installed on the housing 31, the sealing piece 6 will cover the corresponding opening of the sealing cover 34, thereby sealing between the entire sealing cover 34 and the housing 31 and effectively protecting the connection between the power supply line and the housing 31.

[0034] In one embodiment, the unlocking assembly includes a rotating shaft 37 installed at the rotation point of the pawl 35. The top end of the rotating shaft 37 can rotate through the top wall of the sealing cover 34 and cooperate with it in a dynamic seal. A lever 36 is installed at the top end of the rotating shaft 37 for driving the pawl 35 to rotate in a direction away from the corresponding ratchet wheel 33.

[0035] With this design, the staff can manually push the lever 36 to drive the pawl 35 to rotate synchronously and separate from the ratchet 33. After the ratchet 33 is separated from the pawl 35, it can rotate in different directions. When the lever 36 is released, the pawl 35 is reset to make it contact the ratchet 33 again.

[0036] In one embodiment, the power supply circuit, the locking assembly, the contact 32 and the unlocking assembly are all two, the two levers 36 are arranged opposite to each other, and the opposite sides of the two levers 36 are provided with threaded interfaces 39.

[0037] In specific implementation, the cartridge heater in the prior art usually has two corresponding contacts and cooperates with two circuits for power supply. Therefore, the power supply circuit and the contact 32 are both well-known technologies in the prior art. When the two levers 36 are not working, the threaded interfaces 39 thereon are in an aligned state. Therefore, the staff can first rotate one of the levers 36 to other directions, and then thread a screw into the threaded interface 39 on one of the levers 36. When the two levers 36 are installed to be aligned, the other end of the screw will not be blocked by the other lever 36. Then, one of the levers 36 is reset to align the screw with the threaded interface 39 on the other lever 36. At this time, it is only necessary to rotate the screw and extend it into the threaded interface 39 on the other lever 36. The screw locks the two levers 36, so that the ratchet 33 cannot rotate. The screw can be removed by reversing the above-mentioned operation.

[0038] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0039] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first", "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments may be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0040] In addition, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0041] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
