Description

Technical Field

[0002] The environment in which rail vehicles such as railway trains operate is often complex, especially in the northern winter, which is affected by the ambient temperature. It is often difficult to heat the carriages using the heat pump principle. Therefore, most rail vehicles currently use direct heating to heat the carriages. It uses electric heaters to directly convert electrical energy into thermal energy to achieve the heating effect. It has the advantages of fast heating speed, simple maintenance and low cost.

[0003] At present, heating plates that use iron-chromium-aluminum as the heating substrate have appeared to replace traditional electric heaters. The iron-chromium-aluminum heating substrate of this heating plate is covered with a polyimide film with glue to etch the circuit, and both sides of the iron-chromium-aluminum heating substrate are insulated by polyimide film. Then, a silicone insulation layer and an aluminum profile plate are set on both sides for fixation. This heating plate has high heating efficiency, but the thermal conductivity of the polyimide film is poor, which is not conducive to heat conduction. In addition, the contact area between the aluminum profile plate and the air is small, and the heat dissipation speed is slow. It is necessary to additionally spray graphene to increase the heat radiation rate. However, the cost of graphene is relatively high. Since the heating plate is used in a large area in the car, the cost of using the product is greatly increased, resulting in a low competitive advantage of the product.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an electric heater with higher heat dissipation efficiency, lower cost and suitable for heating the carriages of rail transportation vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0031] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] [Example]

[0033] Combine Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an electric heater for heating a rail vehicle compartment in this embodiment includes a heating body 1, which is composed of an aluminum plate radiator 1-1, an iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3, and a thermally conductive silicone pad 1-4. The iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3 is a heating substrate that generates heat when energized. The iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3 is a planar structure that forms a heating circuit. Thermally conductive silicone pads 1-4 are provided on both sides of the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3. The thermally conductive silicone pads 1-4 can provide triple insulation, pressure resistance, and heat conduction. The outer sides of the thermally conductive silicone pads 1-4 are each provided with an aluminum plate radiator 1-1. The aluminum plate radiators 1-1 on both sides are fixedly connected, clamping the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3 and the thermally conductive silicone pad 1-4 in the middle. The aluminum plate radiator 1-1 not only supports and secures the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3 and the thermally conductive silicone pad 1-4, but also conducts and dissipates heat, achieving heat exchange with the surrounding air. Compared with existing heating plates, the polyimide layer between the iron-chromium-aluminum heating substrate and the thermally conductive silicone has been eliminated, making heat conduction more direct and efficient. There is no need to use polyimide film to etch circuits, and the manufacturing process is simpler. In addition, the 1-1 design of the aluminum plate radiator can increase the contact area with the air, increase the heating rate, and reduce the use of graphene, thereby reducing product manufacturing costs and improving market competitiveness.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of heat dissipation fins 1-1a are provided on at least one side of the aluminum plate radiator 1-1 of the heating body 1. The heat dissipation fins 1-1a can be spaced perpendicular to the heating body 1, thereby increasing the contact area with the surrounding air, allowing heat to be radiated into the air more quickly, and further improving the heating temperature rise rate. Preferably, heat dissipation fins 1-1a are provided on both sides of the aluminum plate radiator 1-1.

[0035] In addition, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the inner side edge of the aluminum plate radiator 1-1 on one side is provided with a side groove 1-1b, and the inner side edge of the aluminum plate radiator 1-1 on the other side is provided with a rib 1-1c. When the aluminum plate radiators 1-1 on both sides are fixedly connected, the rib 1-1c is embedded in the corresponding side groove 1-1b. The above-mentioned rib 1-1c on the inner side of the aluminum plate radiator 1-1 can play a positioning role for the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3 and the thermal conductive silicone pad 1-4, which facilitates the assembly and manufacture of the electric heater. In addition, after the rib 1-1c and the side groove 1-1b are embedded, they can increase the sealing of the heating body, prevent leakage and other situations, and improve the safety of use. Preferably, the side groove 1-1b and the rib 1-1c are located on the long side of the heating body 1, which can better position the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3 and the thermal conductive silicone pad 1-4.

[0036] In this embodiment, the aluminum plate radiators 1-1 on both sides are fixed by screws or rivets, and corresponding positions on the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3 and the thermal conductive silicone pad 1-4 are also provided with connection holes for avoiding screws or rivets. The aluminum plate radiators 1-1 on both sides are locked and fixed together by screws or rivets, so as to achieve the clamping and fixing of the inner iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3 and the thermal conductive silicone pad 1-4, which is convenient and firm to connect and has good product integrity. Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the electric heater, a plurality of mounting holes 1a are provided on the heating body 1 to facilitate the installation and use of the electric heater.

[0037] catch Figure 1 As shown, the terminal of the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3 is also connected to a plug 3 through a power cord 2, which can be plug-and-play, and is convenient and quick to use. An insulating pressure plate 1-2 is also provided at one end of the heating body 1. The insulating pressure plate 1-2 covers the terminal of the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3, which further improves the safety of use while ensuring the stability of the wiring. Specifically, the insulating pressure plate 1-2 is fixed to the aluminum plate radiator 1-1 on one side by screws. After the power is connected through the plug 3, the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire 1-3 generates resistance heat, and the heat is transferred to the aluminum plate radiators 1-1 on both sides through the thermal conductive silicone pad 1-4. The aluminum plate radiator 1-1 exchanges heat with the surrounding air to raise the ambient temperature.

[0038] The utility model discloses an electric heater for heating rail transit vehicle carriages, which uses an iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire as a heating substrate and is directly connected to aluminum plate radiators on both sides through thermally conductive silicone pads. The heat generated by the iron-chromium-aluminum heating wire can be more directly conducted to the aluminum plate radiator, and the aluminum plate radiator is used to increase the heat dissipation area, with high heating efficiency, fast heat dissipation and temperature rise speed, and low product manufacturing cost. It is particularly suitable for heating rail transit vehicle carriages.
