Currently, new energy vehicles feature a wide variety of electric heaters, primarily including high-voltage electric heaters with resistance wire structures, thick-film structures, and PTC structures.

[0035] The structure of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through examples. It should be noted that the present examples are descriptive rather than restrictive.
[0036] The heating carrier of the resistance wire structure vehicle high voltage electric heater adopts an electric heating rod with a resistance wire. This electric heating rod is a single-head rod, as shown in the diagram Figure 1 .
[0037] The noise from electric heaters is primarily a high-frequency, harsh sound with periodic pulse spikes. This noise is caused by electromagnetic induction noise generated by the heating rod. Electromagnetic induction occurs when the heating rod is powered, and this is due to the physical structure of the heating rod.
[0038] The physical structure of the electric heating rod is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , mainly including resistance wire 4, metal outer shell 6, magnesium powder rod 3, rubber plugging cover 2, two lead rods 1, metal end cover 7, magnesium powder 5. There are two lead rod insertion holes 3.1 on the magnesium powder rod. The material of the resistance wire is nickel-chromium alloy wire, and the material of the lead rod is nickel rod. Both the resistance wire and the lead rod have good magnetic conductivity. The resistance wire is unidirectional spirally wound, and its main part is wound around the outside of the magnesium powder rod, with the lead rod inserted in the middle. The two ends of the resistance wire are in surface-mounted contact with the two lead rods to form an electrical connection. The surface of the resistance wire and the surface of the lead rod fit tightly, see the local structure Figure 3 The two guide rods are respectively inserted into the two through holes on the magnesium powder rod. According to Ampere's circuit theorem and Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the electric heating rod generates an electromagnetic field when it is energized, forming three magnetic fields, namely, strip magnetic field A, annular magnetic field B and annular magnetic field C. These three magnetic fields are mutually intertwined. Figure 4Typically, at 50V, the magnetic field strength is greater than 15mG. The higher the voltage, the larger the outer diameter of the lead rod, and the larger the outer diameter of the resistance wire, the greater the magnetic field strength. Because the heater's power supply frequency is controlled by the controller's PWM control signal, frequent on and off cycles result in frequent fluctuations in the heater's electromagnetic field strength. These fluctuations directly generate high-frequency noise. The higher the PWM control signal frequency, the greater the audio sound pressure level of the noise.
[0039] In order to reduce the noise sound pressure level, the utility model adopts optimization and improvement of the electric heating rod. The specific implementation methods of the two improvements are as follows:
[0040] Example 1: See Figure 5a and Figure 5b The electric heating rod mainly includes a resistance wire 4, a metal outer shell 6, a magnesium powder rod 3, a rubber plugging cover 2, two lead rods 1, a metal end cover 7, and magnesium powder 5. The magnesium powder rod is provided with two lead rod insertion holes. The main improvements are: the lead rods are made of metals with poor magnetic conductivity, including stainless steel, aluminum rods, copper rods, etc., but not limited to these metals. The resistance wire is unidirectionally spirally wound with a lead rod inserted in the middle. The two ends of the resistance wire can be wound in contact with the two lead rods respectively and connected by welding, see the local structure Figure 6 , the surface of the end of the resistance wire can also fit closely with the surface of the corresponding lead rod. The size of the resistance wire end welded to the lead rod is half the size of the resistance wire wrapped around the lead rod. The welding section is marked with 4A in the attached figure, and the non-welding section is marked with 4B in the attached figure. Leaving the non-welding section ensures the tightness of the resistance wire, reduces the effect of thermal expansion and contraction when the resistance wire works at high temperature, and improves its reliability. The length of the metal lead rod can also be shortened. The end of the resistance wire and the lead rod are in surface-mount contact. For example, 1 / 3 of the lead rod is replaced by a magnesium rod 8 for the remaining 2 / 3 of the length, see the local structure Figure 7 The surface of the resistance wire and the surface of the metal lead rod fit tightly. Generally, the outer diameter of the lead rod is less than 2mm, and the outer diameter of the resistance wire is less than 0.5mm. Under the premise of meeting the size requirements, the cross-sectional shape of the lead rod can be further expanded to an elliptical structure or a rounded rectangular structure, see the local structure Figure 8 The electromagnetic field generated by the heating rod with the above structure is Figure 9 Typically, at 50V, the magnetic field strength is less than 4mG. This weakening of the electromagnetic field directly affects the magnetic noise generated by high-frequency changes in the magnetic field, significantly reducing the high-frequency, harsh noise of the heater.
[0041] Implementation method 2: See Figure 10 The electric heating rod mainly includes a resistance wire 4, a metal outer shell 6, a magnesium powder rod 3, a rubber plug cover 2, two lead rods 1, a metal end cover 7, and magnesium powder 5. There are two lead rod insertion holes on the magnesium powder rod, and a cylindrical boss 3.2 is provided on the end of the magnesium powder rod away from the lead rod to fix the resistance wire. Figure 11The lead rod is made of low magnetic permeability metal. The resistance wire is bidirectionally spirally wound with the lead rod inserted in the middle. The ends of the resistance wire and the two lead rods can be welded or surface mounted. Figure 12 The surface-mount contact lead rod can be shortened, for example, 1 / 3 of the length is made of a low-magnetic-permeability metal lead rod, and the remaining 2 / 3 is replaced by a magnesium rod 8. Figure 13 The cross-sectional shape of the guide rod can also be expanded to an elliptical structure or a rounded rectangular structure. With this structure, the heating rod is heated by the electromagnetic field generated by the power supply. Figure 14 , forming two cross magnetic fields, namely magnetic field E and magnetic field F. The directions of these two magnetic fields are opposite, and the magnetic field strengths cancel each other out, which directly affects the noise and sound pressure values of the heating rod and is effectively reduced.
[0042] The noise of electric heaters is mainly high-frequency harsh sound. After the electric heater adopts a heating rod with a noise reduction structure, the high-frequency harsh sound basically disappears. The noise spectrum before and after the electric heater structure is optimized is as follows Figure 15 , spectrum line 9 is the unoptimized noise, and spectrum line 10 is the optimized noise. It can be clearly seen from the figure that after optimization, the periodic pulse peaks are greatly reduced, and the noise amplitude is greatly reduced, which further proves that the improved structure of the heating rod has a good noise reduction effect.
[0043] Although the embodiments and drawings of the present invention are disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will understand that various replacements, changes and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention and the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiments and drawings.
