Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of PTC heaters, in particular to an energy-saving PTC heater. Background Art

The heat dissipation is limited, resulting in the shell taking a long time to reach the specified temperature, which prolongs the heating time of the heating element and increases the energy consumption of the entire device.

[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] Buckle the two electrode sheets on the upper and lower outer walls of the heating sheet respectively. At this time, the two positioning blocks connected to the upper and lower outer walls of the heating sheet are respectively located inside the positioning grooves opened at both ends of the two electrode sheets. Align the two limiting strips connected to the back faces of the two electrode sheets with the limiting grooves opened on the upper and lower inner walls of the shell, and insert the two electrode sheets into the interior of the shell, so that the heating sheet enters the interior of the shell together with the two electrode sheets. At this time, the multiple fins connected to the outer walls on both sides of the heating sheet correspond to the positions of the multiple connecting grooves, so that part of the heat generated by the heating sheet can be directly dissipated to the outside of the shell through the multiple connecting grooves, making the outside heated faster. Subsequently, the conductive sheets connected to the right sides of the two electrode sheets are connected to the power supply to energize the electrode sheets, thereby making the heating sheet The heat plate is heated and its temperature rises.

In the process of the shell temperature rising to the same temperature, the heating time of the heating plate is shortened and energy consumption is reduced.

At this time, the two springs are in a compressed state. When the two locking grooves opened on the outer wall of the heating sheet correspond to the two spring grooves respectively, the two springs rebound, causing the two locking columns to enter the two locking grooves opened on the outer wall of the heating sheet respectively, thereby fixing the two electrode sheets and the heating sheet inside the shell. Two connecting grooves are opened on the left outer wall of the shell, and two connecting strips are connected to the right outer wall of the shell, so that the two shells can be connected to each other.
