[0031] The following description provides numerous specific details to offer a more thorough understanding of the technical solutions provided by this invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the technical solutions provided by this invention can be implemented without one or more of these details.
[0032] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0033] Exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present invention is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this application provides an ice-breaking heater, including: a housing 110; a heating element 120 disposed within the housing 110; a flow guide hole 130 penetrating the housing 110; a cable 140 passing through the housing 110 and connected to the heating element 120; and an epoxy resin filling layer 150 filling the outside of the cable 140.
[0035] The ice-breaking heater provided in this embodiment can be placed inside the livestock water trough during use. The heating element 120 is then powered via cable 140, generating heat that is transferred to the housing 110. The housing 110 heats the water, which can then circulate through the guide hole 130, improving heating efficiency. This ensures adequate drinking water for livestock in frigid regions.
[0036] By setting the epoxy resin filling layer 150, the wiring area of the heating element 120 is encapsulated in epoxy resin into an elliptical cylinder, and the outside is covered with an insulating heat shrink tubing 200, which is waterproof and insulating, thus improving the service life and making the removal and placement of the ice-breaking heater safer.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, there are multiple guide holes 130, and the inner wall of the guide hole 130 is frustum-shaped.
[0038] In this technical solution, the style of the guide hole 130 is further provided. There are multiple guide holes 130. The inner wall of the guide hole 130 is truncated cone-shaped. When the heating element 120 is working in water, the water with higher temperature rises rapidly along the cone hole to form a water flow, which is conducive to the uniform rise of water temperature in the area.
[0039] The inner wall of the guide hole 130 is truncated cone-shaped. Designed using Bernoulli's fluid dynamics principles, the conical guide hole 130 generates kinetic potential energy during fluid heating, improving heating efficiency and liquid temperature uniformity. The lower part is a large hole; after heating, thermal energy is converted into kinetic energy, thus accelerating the water or fluid at the smaller hole above. This allows for fluid movement during static heating, achieving uniform heating temperature and increased heating efficiency. Traditional heaters only provide static heating, while the ice-breaking heater provided in this embodiment keeps the water in a flowing state. The rising water is heated through the guide hole 130, increasing its rising speed as it passes through the smaller hole, thereby accelerating thermal convection.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one possible embodiment, the housing 110 is made of aluminum.
[0041] In this technical solution, the material of the housing 110 is further provided. The housing 110 is made of aluminum material, which covers the heating element, protects the heating element 120, ensures thermal conductivity, and increases the heat transfer area of the heating element 120.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the ice-breaking heater further includes: a temperature sensor disposed within the housing 110; and a temperature limiting switch 160 connected to the temperature sensor and the heating element 120.
[0043] In this technical solution, the heating temperature of the ice-breaking heater can be detected by setting a temperature sensor and a temperature limit switch 160. The temperature limit switch 160 facilitates the control of the heating temperature of the ice-breaking heater. When the set temperature is reached, the power supply of the heating element 120 can be disconnected, which is more energy-efficient and prevents the water temperature from becoming too high.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the ice-breaking heater further includes a safety switch 170 connected to the heating element 120. This configuration allows for fuse protection in case of excessively high temperatures, preventing injury to livestock.
[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one possible embodiment, the ice-breaking heater further includes a gland 180 disposed at the end of the housing 110, through which the cable 140 passes. This arrangement provides protection for the cable.
[0046] In this technical solution, a 180-gauge connector is added to the cable outlet, which can protect the cable and improve the product's service life and safety.
[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, a grounding connector 190 is connected to the heating element 120, with one end extending out of the housing 110. This arrangement prevents electrical leakage.
