TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of graphene electric heating film material, concretely relates to a flexible graphene heating sleeve. BACKGROUND

[0002] Graphene material is widely used in various fields due to its good conductivity and heat conduction performance. The electric heating film prepared from graphene can meet the application requirements of flexible folding, large-area uniform heating, functional material compounding, etc.

[0003] The graphene-based electric heating film is mainly formed by printing and coating the conductive slurry obtained by mixing powder materials such as graphene, solvents, resins, and additives on a substrate to form a heating body, and then covering a layer of substrate to form a "sandwich" structure with two layers of substrate and one layer of heating body. The bottom layer of substrate can use relatively soft materials such as fiberglass cloth and nylon. Although it meets the function of bending and folding of the electric heating film, in actual use, the traditional planar graphene electric heating film often suffers structural damage and separation of graphene and the substrate due to stress concentration, thermal expansion and contraction, etc., resulting in uneven heating and reduced heating efficiency. At the same time, when designing various complex-shaped heating sleeves, the planar graphene film needs to be cut and spliced to adapt, which will damage the original current path and cannot guarantee uniform heating effect.

[0004] At the same time, the prior art discloses a graphene heating strip in the form of a long strip, which is obtained by compounding graphene slurry and flexible substrate by scraping or dipping method, and is easy to bend. See reference CN117896859A. SUMMARY

Preferably, for special-shaped heating sleeves, corresponding heating surface patterns can be designed to ensure uniform heating effect everywhere, and the connection between different heating areas is realized through the heating band, so as to meet the needs of different use scenarios.

[0023] The graphene heating sleeve is used for packaging the heat-conducting medium in the inside through the outer lining and the inner lining, the graphene heating band in the inside of the heating sleeve generates heat after being electrified, the heating efficiency can be controlled by adjusting the width of the heating band; the heating band can be extended into a complete heating plane through the winding mode with the electrode wires on the two sides, the uniformity on the heating plane can be effectively ensured due to the small spacing of the connected heating bands; the internal stress in the process of using the traditional surface heating film can be eliminated through the heating band forming the heating surface mode, and the durability is improved; meanwhile, the heating band can be wound into various complex heating surfaces according to the overall structure of the heating sleeve, and the uniform heating of the special-shaped heating sleeve is realized.
