Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of PTC heating elements, in particular to a PTC heating element with high heat exchange efficiency. Background Art
[0002] PTC heating elements, also known as PTC heaters, are composed of PTC ceramic heating elements and aluminum tubes. This type of PTC heating element offers low thermal resistance and high heat transfer efficiency, making it an automatic, energy-efficient electric heater with a constant temperature. Its outstanding safety feature is that it will not produce the surface "reddening" phenomenon seen with electric heating tube heaters, which can pose safety risks such as burns or fires, under any application.
[0003] The interior of existing PTC heaters is usually corrugated. When the heater generates heat, the internal heat is discharged through the gaps in the corrugations. The heat exchange space is limited and the heat cannot be discharged immediately, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency. After long-term use, the heating performance of the PTC heater will decrease, which will affect the use of the entire PTC heater. Utility Model Content

At this time, the multiple springs 13 are in a compressed state. When the fixing block 12 extends from the left side of the interior of the shell 1, the multiple springs 13 rebound to return the locking block 14 to its position. The locking block 14 cooperates with the wedge block 15 to fix the electrode sheet 2 in the shell 1. The interior will not shake, and the multiple heat dissipation grooves 8 opened on the outer wall of the heating plate 5 correspond to the multiple connecting grooves 10 opened on the inner wall of the shell 1, so that the heat generated by the heating plate 5 when in use passes through the multiple connecting grooves 10 and is finally discharged through the horizontal exhaust grooves 11, and a hollow groove 7 is opened inside the heating plate 5, and a plurality of rectangular grooves 16 are opened on the upper and lower inner walls of the shell 1 respectively.
