Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PTC air conditioner electric heater technology, and in particular to a screwless quick-assembly bracket and electric heater. Background Technology

[0002] PTC ceramic electric heaters for air conditioning are high-efficiency heating devices based on PTC ceramic materials. Their working principle is based on the PTC effect, or positive temperature coefficient effect. When energized, the resistance of the PTC ceramic material increases with rising temperature, thus controlling the heating process. This automatic temperature control characteristic enables PTC ceramic electric heaters to achieve rapid and uniform heating in air conditioning systems.

[0003] In existing technologies, the head and tail brackets of PTC ceramic electric heaters for air conditioners need to be fixed by screws or adhesive. Adhesive requires a 24-hour natural curing time, which is a long fixing time; while screw fixing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and often results in the bracket being reworked or even scrapped due to stripped screws. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the time-consuming and labor-intensive defects of the fixed structure of PTC ceramic electric heaters in the prior art.

[0012] An electric heater, suitable for the aforementioned screwless quick-assembly bracket, includes: a fixing tube, a first heat dissipation plate, and a second heat dissipation plate. The first and second heat dissipation plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing tube. The first heat dissipation plate is folded back and forth along the axial direction to form a plurality of first heat dissipation cavities, and the second heat dissipation plate is folded back and forth along the axial direction to form a plurality of second heat dissipation cavities.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Example 1

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a screwless quick-assembly bracket, including: a fixing base 1 and a fixing plate 2;

[0027] The fixing base 1 includes a top plate 11, a bottom plate 12, and a side plate 13. The bottom plate 12 of the top plate 11 is arranged parallel to one side of the side plate 13. The top plate 11, the bottom plate 12, and the side plate 13 are integrally formed, and a mounting groove 14 is formed between the top plate 11, the bottom plate 12, and the side plate 13. A plurality of first toothed plates 131 are provided on the surface of the side plate 13 near the opening of the mounting groove 14.

[0028] The fixing plate 2 is detachably connected to the port of the mounting groove 14, and a plurality of second toothed plates 22 are provided on the surface of the fixing plate 2 near the mounting groove 14. The first toothed plate 131 is provided near the top plate 11, and the second toothed plates 22 are provided near the bottom plate 12.

[0029] The bracket of the electric heater 3 in this utility model includes two parts: a fixed base 1 and a fixed plate 2. The fixed base 1 includes a top plate 11, a bottom plate 12, and a side plate 13. The top plate 11, bottom plate 12, and side plate 13 are integrally formed to form a mounting groove 14, which is used to hold the electric heater 3. Specifically, the side plate 13 of the mounting groove 14 is provided with a plurality of first toothed plates 131. Similarly, the surface of the fixed plate 2 is provided with a plurality of second toothed plates 22. Since the electric heater 3 itself includes a first heat dissipation plate 32 and a second heat dissipation plate 33 symmetrically arranged with the fixed tube 31, the first heat dissipation plate 32 is folded back and forth along the axial direction to form a plurality of first heat dissipation cavities 321, and the second heat dissipation plate 33 is folded back and forth along the axial direction to form a plurality of second heat dissipation cavities 331. In the actual installation process, the entire bracket structure is set at both ends of the electric heater 3. First, the end of the electric heater 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 14, and multiple first toothed plates 131 are inserted into the first heat dissipation cavity 321. Then, the fixing plate 2 is attached to the port of the mounting groove 14, so that the second toothed plate 22 is inserted into the second heat dissipation cavity 331. Finally, the fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the port of the mounting groove 14, and the electric heater is stably fixed between the fixing base 1 and the fixing plate 2, completing the installation of the entire electric heater 3 bracket. It should be noted that the first toothed plate 131 and the second toothed plate 22 have different horizontal heights in this utility model. The height of the first toothed plate 131 is flush with the height of the first heat dissipation cavity 321, and the height of the second toothed plate 22 is flush with the height of the second heat dissipation cavity 331. Under the condition of ensuring a stable connection, the contact area between the toothed plate and the heat dissipation cavity is reduced, thus reducing the impact on the heat dissipation effect.

[0030] The bracket structure of this utility model uses a first toothed plate 131 and a second toothed plate 22 on the surfaces of the fixed base 1 and the fixed plate 2, so that the first toothed plate 131 and the second toothed plate 22 respectively cooperate with the first heat dissipation cavity 321 and the second heat dissipation cavity 331 to fix the electric heat sink. This utility model does not require screw connection and fixation, avoiding rework or even scrapping of the bracket due to stripped threads, saving the time of screw driving, and improving installation efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, both the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12 are provided with fixing holes 111, and the side plate 13 is provided with a buckle 21 that cooperates with the fixing hole 111 on the surface near the mounting groove 14.

[0032] Specifically, the mounting base 1 and the mounting plate 2 are connected by a snap-fit ​​21, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the electric radiator, further shortens the installation and disassembly time, and improves the installation and disassembly efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, a limiting stage is provided at one end of the mounting groove 14 along its length.

[0034] Specifically, the electric heater 3 is fixed in the X, Y, and Z axes by the fixing base 1 and the fixing plate 2. The limiting stage can limit the electric radiator in the length axis direction.

[0035] Furthermore, both the end of the first toothed plate 131 away from the side plate 13 and the end of the second toothed plate 22 away from the fixed plate 2 are provided with a taper.

[0036] Specifically, the taper at the ends of the first toothed plate 131 and the second toothed plate 22 facilitates their insertion into the first heat dissipation cavity 321 and the second heat dissipation cavity 331. It should be noted that the width of the first toothed plate 131 and the second toothed plate 22 near their roots is equal to the width of the first heat dissipation cavity 321 and the second heat dissipation cavity 331, respectively.

[0037] Furthermore, a thermostat 16 and a temperature fuse 17 are provided on the side of the side plate 13 away from the electric heater 3, and a fixing groove 15 is provided on the surface of the side plate 13 to cooperate with the thermostat 16 and the temperature fuse 17.

[0038] Specifically, the fixing groove 15 provided on the fixing base 1 is used to install the thermostat 16 and the temperature fuse 17, which are used to protect the entire electric heater 3 and prevent fire caused by abnormal temperature. Example 2

[0039] Reference Figure 5 As shown, an electric heater 3, applicable to the screwless quick-assembly bracket described in Embodiment 1, includes: a fixing tube 31, a first heat dissipation plate 32, and a second heat dissipation plate 33. The first heat dissipation plate 32 and the second heat dissipation plate 33 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing tube 31. The first heat dissipation plate 32 is folded back and forth along the axial direction to form a plurality of first heat dissipation cavities 321, and the second heat dissipation plate 33 is folded back and forth along the axial direction to form a plurality of second heat dissipation cavities 331. One end of the fixing tube 31, the first heat dissipation plate 32, and the second heat dissipation plate 33 is disposed in the mounting groove 14 of the fixing seat 1, and the first toothed plate 131 passes through the first heat dissipation cavity 321, and the second toothed plate 22 passes through the second heat dissipation cavity 331.

[0040] Furthermore, two electrodes 34 are arranged along the axis on both sides of the inner wall of the fixing tube 31, and one end of the electrode 34 abuts against the fixing base 1. A separation block 18 is provided on the fixing base 1, and the two electrodes 34 are attached to both sides of the separation block 18.

[0041] Specifically, a ceramic sheet 35 is disposed between the two electrodes 34, leading the electrodes 34 out of the fixing tube 31 to the fixing base 1, and the two electrodes 34 are separated by the separating block 18 to prevent the ends of the two electrodes 34 from contacting each other. Insulating paper 36 is disposed between the two electrodes 34 and the fixing tube 31. In actual operation, the insulating paper 36 is wrapped around the outside of the two electrodes 34 to prevent the electrodes 34 from directly contacting the inner wall of the fixing tube 31.

[0042] Furthermore, the first heat sink 32 and the second heat sink 33 are respectively disposed in close contact with the inner wall of the fixing seat 1.

[0043] In summary, this utility model introduces a screwless, quick-assembly bracket and an electric heater 3. The bracket structure of this utility model uses a first toothed plate 131 and a second toothed plate 22 on the surfaces of the fixing base 1 and the fixing plate 2, respectively, to engage with the first heat dissipation cavity 321 and the second heat dissipation cavity 331 to fix the electric heat sink. This utility model eliminates the need for screw connections, avoiding rework or even scrapping of the bracket due to stripped threads, saving time spent on screw driving, and improving installation efficiency.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
