Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thick film heater technology, specifically a needle-shaped heating plate for a new energy vehicle heater. Background Technology

[0002] Thick film heaters are a new type of heating device that uses thick film screen printing technology to print insulating media, heating resistors, and other materials onto a substrate, followed by high-temperature sintering. They offer advantages such as high power density, fast heating speed, high operating temperature, rapid temperature rise, high mechanical strength, small size, easy installation, uniform heating temperature field, long lifespan, energy saving, environmental friendliness, and safety. However, existing thick film heaters still encounter some problems in practical use.

[0003] For example, application number CN201921049553.0 relates to a thick film heater, including a thermally conductive substrate and a thick film heating element disposed on its upper surface. The upper surface of the thick film heating element is provided with a temperature-sensing conductive layer, and a temperature-sensing device of the heating element is electrically connected to the temperature-sensing conductive layer. The temperature-sensing surface of the temperature-sensing device of the heating element abuts against the upper surface of the thick film heating element, which has the characteristic of preventing the thick film heating element from continuing to work under overheating conditions. In the process of use, the internal heater of the existing thick film heater is often strip-shaped. This design is prone to causing local overheating or insufficient heating, and the flow resistance of the liquid is also relatively large.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a needle-shaped heating plate for new energy vehicle heaters is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a needle-shaped heating plate for a new energy vehicle heater. By using this device, the problem of existing thick film heaters, where the internal heater shape is often strip-shaped, is easily caused by local overheating or insufficient heating, and the liquid flow resistance is also relatively large.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a needle-type heating plate for a new energy vehicle heater, comprising a substrate, a screen-printed layer fixedly connected to the bottom of the substrate, the screen-printed layer extending to the top of the substrate and fixedly connected to fins, and multiple sets of fins being provided, the multiple sets of fins being teardrop-shaped, the upper layer of the substrate being composed of a printed resistive layer and a ceramic insulating layer, and an aluminum foil with flux being provided at the connection between the substrate and the fins.

[0007] Preferably, the fins are made of aluminum alloy, and the fin diameter ranges from two to five millimeters, the height is from four to ten millimeters, and the spacing between adjacent fins is between three and ten millimeters.

[0008] Preferably, the screen printing layer includes a heating layer and an insulating layer body, with the insulating layer body respectively disposed on both sides of the heating layer.

[0009] Preferably, the thickness of the substrate is two to three millimeters, which provides support for the screen-printed layer, fins, heating layer, and insulating layer.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. This application proposes a needle-type heating plate for a new energy vehicle heater. The teardrop-shaped fins allow liquid to flow smoothly along their surface, reducing flow resistance. In liquid heaters, the teardrop-shaped fins provide excellent fluid adaptability for liquids of various viscosities, such as water, oil, and antifreeze. For example, in an automatic transmission fluid heater for automobiles, the oil can flow smoothly over the teardrop-shaped fins, reducing energy loss due to flow resistance and improving heating efficiency.

[0012] 2. The needle-shaped heating plate for a new energy vehicle heater proposed in this application enables the liquid to be evenly distributed on the fin surface, avoiding localized overheating or underheating. In heaters requiring precise temperature control of the liquid, such as high-precision liquid heating equipment used in laboratories, teardrop-shaped fins can ensure that the liquid temperature rises evenly throughout the heating process, which is beneficial to the accuracy and stability of the experiment.

[0013] 3. The needle-shaped heating plate for a new energy vehicle heater proposed in this application features teardrop-shaped fins that increase the contact area with the liquid to a certain extent. Furthermore, because the liquid can better cover the fin surface, the utilization rate of the heat exchange area is higher. In industrial liquid heaters, such as large chemical raw material liquid heaters, this efficient utilization of the heat exchange area can reduce the size of the equipment and lower equipment costs while ensuring heating effect.

[0014] 4. The needle-shaped heating plate for a new energy vehicle heater proposed in this application greatly expands the heat dissipation surface area through numerous teardrop-shaped structures. Compared with traditional planar heat dissipation structures, it can achieve more thorough heat exchange with the surrounding liquid, significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency. When the coolant flows through, the large-area teardrop-shaped surface comes into contact with the coolant, quickly absorbing heat, effectively reducing the temperature of the heating substrate, and preventing the coolant from boiling.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Combination Figures 1-4 A needle-type heating plate for a new energy vehicle heater includes a substrate 1. A screen-printed layer 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the substrate 1. The screen-printed layer 2 extends to the top of the substrate 1 and is fixedly connected to fins 3. Multiple sets of fins 3 are provided, and the multiple sets of fins 3 are teardrop-shaped. The upper layer of the substrate 1 is composed of a printed resistive layer and a ceramic insulating layer. A flux-coated aluminum foil is provided at the connection between the substrate 1 and the fins 3.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments. Example

[0024] To address the issues of existing thick-film heaters, where the internal heater shape is often strip-like, leading to localized overheating or underheating, and also causing significant flow resistance, the following solution is disclosed. Please refer to the details. Figures 1-4The fins 3 are made of aluminum alloy, with a diameter ranging from two to five millimeters and a height from four to ten millimeters. The spacing between adjacent fins 3 is between three and ten millimeters. The screen-printed layer 2 includes a heating layer 4 and an insulating layer body 5, with the insulating layer body 5 respectively disposed on both sides of the heating layer 4. The substrate 1 has a thickness of two to three millimeters and provides support for the screen-printed layer 2, fins 3, heating layer 4, and insulating layer body 5. During use, the heating layer 4 operates and generates heat, which can be transferred to the fins 3 through the substrate 1. The arrangement of the fins 3 increases the contact area between the heating layer 4 and the coolant, thereby improving heat transfer efficiency and allowing the liquid to flow smoothly along its surface, reducing flow resistance. The substrate 1, flux-coated aluminum foil, and fins 3 are connected as a single unit using brazing technology. During brazing, the flux in the aluminum foil melts at high temperature, removing oxides and other impurities from the joint interfaces. This creates a reliable metallurgical bond between the aluminum foil, substrate 1, and the heat dissipation structure, ensuring efficient and stable heat transfer from the resistance layer through substrate 1 and aluminum foil to the fins 3. In liquid heaters, the teardrop structure provides excellent fluid adaptability for liquids of varying viscosities, such as water, oil, and antifreeze. For example, in automotive automatic transmission fluid heaters, the fluid flows smoothly through the fins 3, reducing energy loss due to flow resistance, improving heating efficiency, and ensuring uniform liquid distribution on the fin surface, preventing localized overheating or underheating. In heaters requiring precise temperature control, such as high-precision liquid heating equipment in laboratories, the teardrop structure ensures a uniform temperature rise throughout the heating process, improving experimental accuracy and stability. It also increases the contact area with the liquid and, because the liquid better covers the fin surface, increases the utilization rate of the heat exchange area. In industrial liquid heaters, such as large chemical raw material liquid heaters, this efficient utilization of heat exchange area can reduce equipment size and cost while ensuring heating effect. The teardrop-shaped structures have a specific spacing and arrangement, with the distance between adjacent teardrop-shaped structures ranging from three to ten millimeters. This optimized arrangement guides the liquid to form orderly flow channels between the cylindrical array. As the liquid flows, the cylindrical structures continuously disturb the liquid boundary layer, promoting the rapid transfer of heat from the teardrop-shaped structures to the liquid, further enhancing the heat dissipation effect, while ensuring uniform heat absorption by the coolant and avoiding localized overheating that could lead to boiling.
