[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below in conjunction with specific examples. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of this utility model, and not for limiting the patent claims of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] See Figures 1 to 3As shown, the sealing structure of the heating tube and the outer shell involved in this embodiment includes a heating tube body 1 and an outer shell body 2. A sealing cap 3 is detachably connected to the outer shell body 2. The sealing cap 3 includes a cap side circumference 301 and a cap top plate 302. A deformable fixing piece 4 and a sealing gasket 5 are embedded in the sealing cap 3. The sealing gasket 5 is located between the cap top plate 302 and the outer shell body 2. The deformable fixing piece 4 is located between the sealing gasket 5 and the cap top plate 302. It also includes a heating tube mounting hole 6 that passes through the outer shell body 2, the sealing gasket 5, the deformable fixing piece 4 and the cap top plate 302 in sequence. The heating tube body 1 passes through or exits from the heating tube mounting hole 6. An axial limiting groove 101 is provided on the outer side of the heating tube body 1. A toothed piece 401 that engages with the axial limiting groove is distributed around the inner side of the deformable fixing piece 4.

[0023] Furthermore, the outer shell body 2 is provided with a first annular groove 201 for partial insertion of the cap side panel 301, and a second annular groove 202 is provided on the inner wall of the first annular groove 201. The inner side of the cap side panel 301 is provided with a locking hook 303 that engages with the second annular groove. The end of the locking hook 303 facing the bottom of the first annular groove and the end of the inner wall of the first annular groove 201 near the groove opening are provided with a guide structure 7.

[0024] In this embodiment, a deformable fixing piece 4 is provided between the sealing cap 3 and the sealing gasket 5. The deformable fixing piece 4 is deformed by the pressure of the cap top plate 302 and the sealing gasket 5, which restricts the axial movement of the heating tube body 1. The sealing cap 3 and the outer shell body 2 are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, which makes assembly quick.

[0025] The second annular groove 202, in conjunction with the locking hook 303, enables the locking connection between the sealing cap 3 and the outer shell body 2.

[0026] The axial limiting groove 101, in conjunction with the toothed piece 401 that is inserted into the groove, serves to limit the axial movement of the heating tube body 1 after installation.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sealing structure of the heating tube and the outer shell involved in this embodiment is further configured based on embodiment 1, wherein a protective tube 501 is provided between the heating tube body 1 and the outer shell body 2 and is provided in the heating tube mounting hole, the protective tube 501 is sleeved on the heating tube body 1, and the protective tube 501 is connected to the sealing gasket 5.

[0029] Furthermore, the protective tube 501 and the sealing gasket 5 are an integral structure.

[0030] Furthermore, both the protective tube 501 and the sealing gasket 5 are made of rubber.

[0031] In this embodiment, the protective tube 501 serves to isolate the heating tube body 1 from direct contact with the outer casing body 2, preventing damage to the surface of the heating tube body 1 due to friction between the outer casing body 2 and the heating tube body 1. Since the surface of the heating tube is prone to corrosion, it also enhances the sealing performance.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sealing structure between the heating tube and the outer shell involved in this embodiment is further configured, based on embodiment 1, such that the width of the second annular groove 302 is greater than the height of the locking hook 303.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting the width of the second annular groove 302 to be greater than the height of the locking hook 303, a gap is left between the sealing cap 3 and the outer shell body 2 so that one end can move axially. When the sealing gasket 5 expands due to heat, there is space to release, thereby reducing the pressure on the sealing cap 3.

[0035] Example 4

[0036] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sealing structure of the heating tube and the outer shell involved in this embodiment is further configured based on embodiment 1, wherein the internal space of the sealing cap 3 is frustum-shaped, and the sealing gasket 5 is adapted to be embedded in the sealing cap 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, by setting the internal space of the sealing cap 3 to a frustum-shaped structure and fitting the sealing gasket 5 into the sealing cap 3, assembly between components can be facilitated, and the fixing strength of the sealing cap 3 can also be enhanced.

[0038] The sealing structure between the heating tube and the outer shell involved in this utility model is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional brazing and welding sealing methods. Compared with the traditional sealing method using flanges and rubber gaskets, the sealing method of this utility model is simpler to assemble, and the deformation of the rubber gasket is stable, resulting in better sealing stability. By setting a protective tube between the outer shell and the heating tube and sleeved on the heating tube, damage to the heating tube surface caused by friction between the outer shell and the heating tube is avoided. Furthermore, the deformation fixing piece can effectively limit the axial movement of the heating tube. The overall function is complete and highly practical.
