Description

Technical field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fish tank aquarium breeding equipment, in particular to an aquarium ceramic heating element. [Background Technology]

[0002] In an aquarium, maintaining a stable water temperature is one of the key factors in maintaining the healthy growth of aquatic organisms. Heaters are the most commonly used aquarium hardware, used to heat water in fish tanks / aquariums.

[0003] Common heating rods on the market currently include glass heating rods, metal heating rods and ceramic heating rods.

[0004] Glass heaters are a popular choice for aquarium heaters on the market. They heat quickly, maintain a stable temperature, and don't burn your fish at high temperatures. However, due to the poor thermal conductivity of glass, they require extended operation, resulting in significant energy consumption.

[0005] Metal heating rods have strong thermal conductivity and the advantage of rapid heating, but they also have obvious disadvantages. Long-term high-temperature heating can cause water pollution and, in severe cases, burn out the heating tube.

[0006] Since ceramics have better thermal conductivity than glass, ceramic heating rods have better thermal conductivity and a relatively longer service life. However, ceramics will bend if the length is too long during the sintering process, so ceramic heating rods are generally short, which makes them unsuitable for medium and large fish tanks.

[0007] To address the above issues, we provide a new technical solution. [Utility Model Content]

[0008] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes an aquarium ceramic heating element, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A ceramic heating element for an aquarium includes a ceramic shell, a heating component encapsulated in the ceramic shell, and a lead extending from the outside of the ceramic shell. The ceramic shell is an elongated structure with an inner cavity. Support ribs are integrally formed in the inner cavity of the ceramic shell and extend along the length of the inner cavity.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an aquarium ceramic heating element has two sides of the support rib bonded to the two sides of the inner cavity of the ceramic shell, and the bottom of the support rib bonded to the bottom of the inner cavity, which divides the inner cavity into two independent spaces.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an aquarium ceramic heating element comprises a heating component including a mica sheet and an electric heating wire wound on the mica sheet; a heating component is provided in each independent space of the inner cavity.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an aquarium ceramic heating element has a silica gel inner plug sealing the opening of the inner cavity of the ceramic shell.

[0013] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a ceramic heating element for an aquarium has a CP wire extending outward from the mica sheet, one end of the lead wire passes through a silicone inner plug and extends into the inner cavity of the ceramic shell and is connected to the CP wire through a riveted copper strip.

[0014] According to an aquarium ceramic heating element of an embodiment of the present invention, two independent spaces in the inner cavity are filled with heat-conducting sand.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an aquarium ceramic heating element, the ceramic shell is a flat structure.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] In the utility model, support ribs extending along the length direction of the inner cavity are provided in the inner cavity of the ceramic shell. The support ribs support the interior of the ceramic shell, thereby strengthening the overall structural strength and avoiding the phenomenon of bending of the ceramic shell during sintering. In this way, a longer ceramic shell can be prepared and used to prepare long ceramic heating elements, solving the problem that previous ceramic heating rods cannot be used in medium and large fish tanks / aquariums.
