Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of PTC heaters, and more particularly, to a PTC heat dissipation frame structure. Background Art

[0002] PTC heaters are heating devices made from positive temperature coefficient (PTC) materials and are widely used in various heating devices. These heaters are self-regulating. When the temperature rises to a certain level, the heater's resistance increases significantly, reducing the current and preventing overheating. This characteristic makes PTC heaters both safe and efficient in heating applications.

[0003] In the heat dissipation of the PTC heater, the heat exchange of the PTC heater is carried out through the heat dissipation frame. During the heat dissipation process, the PTC heater and the heat dissipation frame need to have good thermal contact to ensure the efficient heat conduction efficiency of the PTC heater. In the related art, the heat dissipation frame is usually composed of four parts, including two heat dissipation frames and two connecting bridges. The two connecting bridges are respectively located at the two ends of the heat dissipation frame and the two ends of each connecting bridge are respectively inserted into the grooves provided on the sides of the two heat dissipation frames to fix the two heat dissipation frames. The PTC heater is clamped between the two heat dissipation frames and contacts the heat dissipation frames to achieve heat exchange. The heat dissipation frame composed of four parts has the following disadvantages: 1. The two heat dissipation frames are fixed by inserting the connecting bridge into the groove. This connection method is unstable during the active use of the radiator, making the two heat dissipation frames easily deviated, resulting in unstable contact with the PTC heater and low heat conduction efficiency. 2. In the process of assembling with the PTC heater, it is more troublesome to manually assemble the four parts of the heat dissipation frame into one, resulting in low production efficiency. 3. The heat sink is formed into four parts, and multiple molds are required in the die-casting process, which is very costly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a PTC heat dissipation frame structure, which has the advantages of stable conduction efficiency, simple assembly and low cost.

[0005] A PTC heat dissipation frame structure includes two heat dissipation frames and two connecting bridges. The two heat dissipation frames are arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The two connecting bridges are located between the two heat dissipation frames and at both ends of the heat dissipation frames. The two connecting bridges and the two heat dissipation frames are integrally formed.

[0006] Preferably, the heat dissipation frame includes a vertical plate and a plurality of horizontal plates, the plurality of horizontal plates are arranged along the length direction of the vertical plates, and the plurality of horizontal plates and the vertical plates are integrally formed, and the connecting bridge is formed between two of the vertical plates.

[0007] Preferably, the heat dissipation frame includes a vertical plate and two curved plates, the two curved plates are respectively located at both ends of the vertical plate, and the inner curved surfaces of the two curved plates are arranged facing each other, the two curved plates and the vertical plate are integrally formed, and the connecting bridge is formed between the two vertical plates.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting bridge is in the shape of a flat plate.

[0009] Preferably, the heat dissipation frame and the connecting bridge are both made of high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy.

[0010] The beneficial technical effects of the present application are as follows: the two connecting bridges and the two heat dissipation frames are integrally formed, and their preparation method can be achieved by integral press molding, which only requires one mold, and the cost is lower than that of a heat dissipation frame divided into four parts. The PTC heater is passed through the two connecting bridges and the two heat dissipation frames, and the two connecting bridges are bent and deformed in opposite directions to clamp the PTC heater, and the two heat dissipation frames are brought close to clamp the PTC heater under the action of bending to achieve contact and fixation of the PTC heater. The integrally arranged connecting bridge is stably connected to the heat dissipation frame. During the active use of the product, the heat dissipation frame and the PTC heater are in stable contact and it is easier to maintain a high heat conduction efficiency. The heat dissipation frame and the PTC are assembled only by placing the PTC heater between the two heat dissipation frames and then bending the connecting bridge. It is simpler and more convenient, which is conducive to improving production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The combination of the heat dissipation rack and the PTC heating element can be used in a hot air blower, and the heat on the heat dissipation rack is conducted to the air to heat the air, and the hot air is blown out by the hot air blower to form a hot air flow. The integrated hot air rack structure can be realized with only one mold, and its cost is lower than that of a heat sink divided into four parts. It has stable contact with the PTC heating element, which facilitates maintaining a high heat conduction efficiency. When assembling with the PTC heating element, the heat sink and the PTC can be assembled by simply placing the PTC heating element between the two heat sink bodies 1 and then bending the connecting bridge 2. This is simple and convenient, and is conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, the connecting bridge 2 is in the shape of a flat plate, and it is easier to bend the connecting bridge 2 in the shape of a flat plate.

The PTC heating element generates heat, and the heat is dissipated by the vertical plate 11 and the PTC heating element. The heat exchange is carried out by contacting the heat body to realize heat dissipation of the PTC heat. The heat is also conducted to the curved plate 13 and dissipated.

The heat of the cylindrical shell realizes that the heat acts on the hair, changes the structure of the hair, and achieves the styling effect.
