[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fresh air preheating device, including a casing 1, with an air inlet 2 at the top of one end of the casing 1 and an air outlet 3 at the other end, and a heating coil 4 and a fan assembly 5 inside the casing 1. The fan assembly 5 is disposed between the heating coil 4 and the air outlet 3. The air inlet 2 is provided with a plurality of first electric heaters 6 and a plurality of second electric heaters 7. The second electric heaters 7 are disposed below the first electric heaters 6 and are staggered from the first electric heaters 6.

[0026] The first electric heater 6 and the second electric heater 7 rapidly heat the air intake 2 to a temperature suitable for the operation of the heating coil 4 within a short time, achieving a preheating effect, preventing frost from forming on the surface of the heating coil 4, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heating coil 4, and extending the service life of the heating coil 4. By placing the second electric heater 7 below the first electric heater 6 and staggering the second electric heater 7 with the first electric heater 6, heat is ensured to be more evenly distributed in the air intake 2, increasing the heat exchange contact area with the air and making the air heating more uniform.

[0027] In order to prevent overheating, improve safety, increase heating speed and energy saving, in this embodiment, preferably, the first electric heater 6 and the second electric heater 7 have the same structure and are both PCT electric heaters.

[0028] The purpose is to enable the PCT electric heater to self-regulate temperature and heat up quickly. During use, as the temperature rises, the resistance increases, leading to a decrease in current, which automatically reduces the heating power. This prevents overheating by automatically reducing power when the heating temperature is too high, reducing safety issues caused by human error or electrical malfunctions, and improving safety. Moreover, it can automatically reduce power after reaching a certain temperature, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and improving energy efficiency. The PCT electric heater maintains temperature stability by automatically adjusting power, allowing it to maintain a constant temperature for a long time without excessive temperature fluctuations, thus achieving stable heating.

[0029] To facilitate further increasing the heat exchange contact area with air, making air heating more uniform, and improving heat exchange efficiency, in this embodiment, preferably, the PCT electric heater includes a PTC heating core 601 and a mounting bracket 602. Two mounting brackets 602 are provided and symmetrically connected to both ends of the PTC heating core 601. Several heat dissipation fins 603 are evenly arranged in the middle of the PTC heating core 601. A support plate 13 is symmetrically provided on the inner side of the air inlet 2. The mounting bracket 602 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support plate 13 by screws 604.

[0030] The purpose is to connect the PTC heating element 601 to the power supply, so that current flows through the PTC heating element 601. Due to its low resistance, the current is relatively large, and the PTC heating element 601 begins to heat up. As the temperature rises, the resistance of the PTC heating element 601 gradually increases. When the temperature reaches a certain value, the resistance of the PTC heating element 601 increases to a sufficient extent, and the current flow rate decreases significantly. At this point, the heat generated and the heat lost are roughly balanced, and the temperature is maintained within a safe range to prevent overheating. By setting several heat sinks 603, the heat dissipation area is increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency with the air and making the air heating more uniform.

[0031] To facilitate improvements in thermal stability, chemical stability, and electrical insulation, in this embodiment, the PTC heating element 601 is preferably made of barium titanate ceramic. The purpose is that the PTC heating element 601 made of barium titanate ceramic has a high positive temperature coefficient within a certain temperature range. As the temperature increases, the resistance of the material increases rapidly, thereby effectively controlling the heating process.

[0032] In order to improve thermal conductivity and heating efficiency, in this embodiment, the heat sink 603 is preferably made of aluminum alloy. The purpose is that aluminum alloy has high thermal conductivity, so that heat can be quickly transferred to the heating surface and improve heating efficiency.

[0033] In order to facilitate the airflow, in this embodiment, preferably, the fan assembly 5 includes a centrifugal fan 501 and a motor 502, and the motor 502 is connected to the centrifugal fan 501 via a belt 503.

[0034] The purpose is to drive the centrifugal fan 501 to rotate via the belt 503, thereby pushing the airflow from the air inlet 2 into the casing 1 and out through the air outlet 3.

[0035] In order to facilitate the filtration of dust in the air, in this embodiment, preferably, a bag filter 8 is provided inside the casing 1. The bag filter 8 is located on the side of the heating coil 4 near the air inlet 2, and its purpose is to filter the dust in the air through the bag filter 8.

[0036] In order to facilitate the maintenance or replacement of the bag filter 8, in this embodiment, preferably, the housing 1 is provided with a first maintenance door 9, which is located on one side of the bag filter 8. The purpose is to facilitate the maintenance or replacement of the bag filter 8 by opening the first maintenance door 9.

[0037] To facilitate further replacement of the bag filter 8, in this embodiment, preferably, the bag filter 8 includes a non-woven filter bag 801 and a shaping frame 802. The non-woven filter bag 801 is connected to the side of the shaping frame 802 near the heating coil 4. An upper slide rail 10 and a lower slide rail 11 are fixedly connected inside the housing 1. The top of the shaping frame 802 is slidably connected to the upper slide rail 10, and its bottom is slidably connected to the lower slide rail 11.

[0038] The purpose is to push and pull the shaping frame 802 so that it slides along the upper slide rail 10 and the lower slide rail 11, thereby moving the shaping frame 802 and the non-woven filter bag 801 out of the housing 1, achieving the effect of disassembly and facilitating the replacement of the bag filter 8.

[0039] In order to facilitate the maintenance or replacement of the fan assembly 5, in this embodiment, preferably, the casing 1 is provided with a second inspection door 12, which is located on one side of the fan assembly 5. The purpose is to facilitate the maintenance or replacement of the fan assembly 5 by opening the second inspection door 12.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
