[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] Embodiment one
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the present application is a molten salt heat storage electric heating device, which comprises an electric heater body 1, the top wall of the electric heater body 1 is provided with a feeding pipe 101, and the bottom wall of the electric heater body 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 102.
[0026] Among them, the discharge pipe 102 is located in the middle of the bottom wall of the electric heater body 1, the number of the feeding pipe 101 is two, and they are respectively located on both sides of the discharge pipe 102. The end of the feeding pipe 101 extends into the electric heater body 1 and bends away from the side of the discharge pipe 102, and the feeding pipe 101 is provided with a preheating heater 2. At the same time, the two feeding pipes 101 are communicated with a main feeding pipe 104, so that the molten salt enters the two discharge pipes 102 through the main feeding pipe 104 at the same time.
[0027] The bottom wall of the electric heater body 1 is provided with a plurality of heaters 3, and the plurality of heaters 3 are evenly arranged on both sides of the feeding pipe 101. By bending the lower end of the discharge pipe 102, the molten salt flows from the feeding pipe 101 into the electric heater body 1, flows from top to bottom, and flows towards both ends of the electric heater body 1, as shown by the solid arrows in the figure.
[0028] The molten salt enters and reaches the heater 3 below. After being heated by the heater 3, it flows upward, forming a ring convection, as shown by the dotted arrow in the figure. The heated molten salt reaches the middle of the electric heater body 1 and is discharged through the discharge pipe 102, so that the molten salt discharged from the discharge pipe 102 is all fully heated molten salt.
[0029] Furthermore, the end of the discharge pipe 102 extends into the interior of the electric heater body 1, so that the upper end of the discharge pipe 102 is higher than the bottom wall of the electric heater body 1, thereby preventing the molten salt with a lower temperature at the bottom from not being discharged immediately. At the same time, a discharge heater 4 is installed inside the discharge pipe 102, so that the molten salt entering the discharge pipe 102 is heated again by the discharge heater 4, thereby ensuring that the molten salt is heated more fully and ensuring the overall molten salt heat storage efficiency.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, a flow guide baffle 103 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the electric heater body 1. The flow guide baffle 103 corresponds one-to-one with the feed pipe 101 and is located below the feed pipe 101 to prevent the molten salt with a lower temperature from directly reaching the discharge pipe 102.
[0032] Furthermore, the flow guide baffle 103 is inclined, with the side of the flow guide baffle 103 closer to the discharge pipe 102 being higher than the side farther from the discharge pipe 102. This allows the molten salt entering through the feed pipe 101 to flow downwards under the action of the flow guide baffle 103, while the molten salt heated by the heater 3 flows upwards more easily, thus enabling the molten salt to form a ring convection within the electric heater body 1.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the flow guide baffle 103 has a corrugated plate structure. The corrugated flow guide baffle 103 can cause turbulence in the flow of molten salt, improve the full mixing of hot and cold molten salt during convection, and ensure the overall heating effect.
