Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric heater technology, and more specifically, to a medical sterilization heater with a temperature controller assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, temperature sensors in medical sterilization heaters on the market require converting temperature into a potential difference, which is then transmitted to specialized equipment. This equipment then converts the temperature back into a reading for determination. This process is inefficient and has a slow response to dry burning, leading to the heater burning out due to the inability to cut off the dry-burning effect in time. Furthermore, temperature sensors require mounting brackets, and multiple brackets are needed when multiple temperature sensing points are required, increasing costs and resulting in poor overall performance. Therefore, this invention proposes a medical sterilization heater with an integrated temperature controller assembly. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a medical sterilization heater with a temperature controller assembly.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: The medical sterilization heater with a temperature controller assembly involved in this utility model includes a water pipe with an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other end. A heating tube in a spiral shape is wound on the water pipe. A temperature controller assembly fixing plate is provided on the heating tube in a vertical or horizontal configuration. A temperature controller assembly connected to the main circuit is provided on the temperature controller assembly fixing plate. At least one thermocouple is electrically connected to the temperature controller assembly. The thermocouple includes a thermocouple assembly extending in a straight line and a set of temperature measuring tubes outside all the thermocouple assemblies. The temperature measuring tubes are located inside or outside the heating tubes and are in close contact with the heating tubes.
[0005] The present invention is further configured such that: the temperature measuring tube is located inside the heating tube; and the outer wall of the water pipe is pressed with a groove for embedding the temperature measuring tube.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the temperature measuring tube is located on the outside of the heating tube.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the temperature measuring tube is arranged along the axial direction of the water pipe.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the temperature controller assembly fixing plate is connected to the heating tube by brazing, riveting or welding.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the temperature measuring tube and the temperature controller assembly fixing plate are both located at the top of the water pipe.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the lead wire of the thermocouple is located outside the heating tube and does not contact the water pipe.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a heat-conducting medium is filled between the thermocouple and the temperature measuring tube.
[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. Install a thermostat component in the location prone to dry burning and connect it to the main circuit. When the heater is dry burning, the thermostat can directly sense the temperature and cut off the power supply, thus reducing equipment costs.
[0014] 2. The integrated thermocouple assembly consists of multiple thermocouples. The length of each thermocouple assembly can be adjusted according to key locations for easy installation. It also provides feedback to the control panel to help determine whether the heater is dry-burning. Attached Figure Description
