Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PTC heating technology, and in particular to a high-insulation PTC variable frequency liquid heater. Background Technology
[0002] PTC heaters are a new type of electric heater consisting of a PTC heating element, positive and negative aluminum electrode sheets, and a packaged shell. Due to their technical advantages such as high heat exchange efficiency, safety and reliability, automatic temperature control, low power consumption, rapid heating, and small size, they have become one of the most widely used electric heating materials.
[0003] Existing PTC heaters typically involve directly attaching the PTC heating element to the liquid pipe or attaching it to the liquid pipe via an aluminum block. The PTC heating element then transfers heat to the liquid pipe or aluminum block to heat the liquid in the pipe. This method is highly prone to causing leakage current, as the current from the PTC heating element is directly conducted to the liquid pipe or then through the aluminum block, resulting in leakage current and a risk of electric shock. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-insulation PTC variable frequency liquid heater. The PTC heater is equipped with a PCT heating element with insulating properties, which can effectively prevent leakage.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A high-insulation PTC variable frequency liquid heater includes: an inlet pipe, a connecting pipe installed on the inlet pipe, an outlet pipe installed on the connecting pipe, and a PCT heating element with insulation properties disposed between the outlet pipe and the inlet pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the PCT heating assembly includes a heating element and insulating heat-conducting components disposed on the upper and lower sides of the heating element; the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are connected to the PCT heating assembly through the insulating heat-conducting components.
[0008] Preferably, the insulating and thermally conductive component is made of alumina ceramic.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] This utility model uses a PCT heating component with insulating properties. Specifically, an insulating heat-conducting component is set between the heating element and the inlet and outlet pipes. The insulating heat-conducting component is made of alumina ceramic, which not only has insulation properties but also good thermal conductivity. By attaching the insulating heat-conducting component to the heating element, the current on the heating element can be effectively blocked without affecting the heat conduction effect of the heating element.

[0019] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] A high-insulation PTC variable frequency liquid heater includes: an inlet pipe 10, a connecting pipe 20 installed on the inlet pipe 10, an outlet pipe 30 installed on the connecting pipe 20, and a PCT heating element 40 with insulation properties disposed between the outlet pipe 30 and the inlet pipe 10.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the inlet pipe 10 and the outlet pipe 30 are connected by a connecting pipe 20. The liquid is placed in the inlet pipe 10, the outlet pipe 30 and the connecting pipe 20, and heated by the PCT heating element 40 disposed between the inlet pipe 10 and the outlet pipe 30.
[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the PCT heating assembly 40 includes a heating element 41 and insulating heat-conducting components 42 disposed on the upper and lower sides of the heating element 41; the water inlet pipe 10 and the water outlet pipe 30 are connected to the PCT heating assembly 40 through the insulating heat-conducting components 42.
[0024] Furthermore, the insulating and heat-conducting component 42 is made of alumina ceramic. Alumina ceramic is only one type of material for the insulating and heat-conducting component 42, and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0025] To prevent current from overflowing from both sides of the insulating heat-conducting element 42 onto the inlet pipe 10 and / or outlet pipe 30, the insulating heat-conducting element 42 is made in a shape that partially encloses the inlet pipe 10 or outlet pipe 30. This shape not only enhances the insulation performance of the PCT heating element 40, but also effectively prevents the inlet pipe 10 and / or outlet pipe 30 from deviating from the PCT heating element 40 due to thermal expansion and contraction during the heating process.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, when the inlet pipe 10 and the outlet pipe 30 are square tubes, the insulating heat-conducting component 42 includes a horizontal plate 421 and vertical plates 422 disposed at both ends of the horizontal plate 421; the inlet pipe 10 and the outlet pipe 30 are precisely embedded between the two vertical plates 422 and are in contact with the horizontal plate 421.
[0027] The insulating heat-conducting component 42 has vertical plates 422 at both ends of the horizontal plate 421. The water inlet pipe 10 and the water outlet pipe 30 are tightly fixed to the horizontal plate 421 by the two vertical plates 422, so as to prevent the water inlet pipe 10 and the water outlet pipe 30 from deviating from the horizontal plate 421 under the condition of thermal expansion and contraction.
[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
