Description

Technical Field

[0003] ,

[0001] The utility model relates to a PTC heater, in particular to a glue - sticking and pressing type corrugated belt PTC heating component. Background Art

[0002] At present, more and more electrical appliances, new energy vehicles and other devices incorporate PTC heaters into their applications. Generally, a PTC heater is formed by alternately stacking a heating core and a heat - dissipating aluminum strip, or by combining a PTC heating core installed inside an aluminum tube and heat - dissipating fins installed on the outer wall of the aluminum tube to form a heating and heat - dissipating structure. However, in the latter case, due to the lack of positioning of the heat - dissipating fins and the fact that the excess adhesive between the heat - dissipating fins and the aluminum tube will flow out to both sides when being extruded during assembly and cannot be retained, there are often problems such as loose connection and poor stability, resulting in insufficient bonding force between the heat - dissipating fins and the aluminum tube, and finally the heat - dissipating fins falling off from the aluminum tube. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a glue - sticking and pressing type corrugated belt PTC heating component with tight and convenient assembly, high positioning accuracy, high bonding strength and anti - overflow glue.

[0004] To solve the above - mentioned technical problem, the glue - sticking and pressing type corrugated belt PTC heating component of the utility model comprises an aluminum tube, a heating core installed in the aluminum tube, and heat - dissipating fins installed on the flat surface of the aluminum tube; the flat surface of the aluminum tube has a side edge protruding from the flat surface, the cross - section of the side edge is a C - shape with an opening facing inwards, and a groove is formed on its inner side; the two side edges and the flat surface together form an installation groove for the heat - dissipating fins, the installation groove is coated with an adhesive, and the heat - dissipating fins are bonded in the installation groove through the adhesive; after installation, the side edges tightly press on both sides of the heat - dissipating fins.

[0005] The height of the side edge is 1 - 5 mm.

[0006] The top of the side edge has a sharp angle facing inwards. <00 , <000001 .

[0007] The adhesive is silica gel. [[ID=2 . The heat - dissipating fins are of a corrugated structure, and after stamping, a structure with a top surface呈多个并列排布的“艹”字形的结构.

[0009] The heat - dissipating fins are of a corrugated structure, and after stamping, a structure with a top surface呈多个并列排布的交错起伏矩形的结构.

[0010] The advantages of the present utility model are as follows: The aluminum tube has a C-shaped side and a groove formed on its inner side, so that the extruded excess silicone will no longer flow out of the aluminum tube surface from the side of the heat dissipation fins but be retained in the installation groove, especially in the side groove, making the bonding layer between the heat dissipation fins and the aluminum tube thicker, with higher bonding strength. At the same time, it also provides additional adhesive force between both sides of the heat dissipation fins and the inner wall of the installation groove; The heat dissipation fins are of a corrugated structure formed by integral stamping, without the need for welding or fixing by fixing parts, nor surface anti-corrosion treatment, with convenient production, short production cycle, small material loss, high qualification rate, low cost, and high heat exchange efficiency; The heat dissipation fins are fixed by the combined action of the silicone adhesive force and the pressing force at the top of the side, further improving the installation accuracy of the heat dissipation fins and the bonding force between them and the aluminum tube.
