Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating equipment, specifically a straight-barrel heating element. Background Technology
[0002] Electric heating equipment generally uses a method of isolating the heating element from the heat exchange fluid. The electric heating element heats the heat exchange fluid through a copper or aluminum alloy shell. However, the disadvantage of electric heaters is that some heat is lost to the surrounding environment, resulting in reduced thermal efficiency and a short service life of the heating element. Therefore, those skilled in the art need to continuously discover the causes of low thermal efficiency and improve its structure to improve thermal efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The outer periphery of the housing is provided with multiple mounting holes that extend along the length direction;
[0006] An electric heating element is installed in a mounting hole, with the outer wall of the electric heating element in close contact with the inner wall of the mounting hole;
[0007] The outer box is installed on the outside of the casing;
[0008] The outer box is provided with fixed brackets at both ends;
[0009] The shells at both ends of the hot water exchange channel are equipped with connectors that extend from the fixed brackets.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the hot water exchange channel is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins arranged along the axial direction.
[0011] Furthermore, the hot water exchange channel is equipped with a fan frame with a cross-section in the shape of a cross.
[0012] Furthermore, a heat insulation layer is provided between the outer box and the shell.
[0013] Furthermore, the number of mounting holes is 12.
[0014] Furthermore, one of the fixed brackets has through holes corresponding to the electric heating element.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer surface of the housing is machined into an arc-shaped protrusion corresponding to the mounting hole; the heat insulation layer is heat insulation cotton.
[0017] Furthermore, the housing and outer box are made of aluminum alloy.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] This application uses a fully enclosed electric heating tube, which separates the electric heating tube from the insulation layer. The outer wall of the electric heating tube can completely fit the mounting hole, allowing the heat from the electric heating tube to be transferred to the shell and the water in the hot water exchange channel more quickly, thus improving thermal efficiency and being more energy-efficient.
[0020] The heat exchange fins and fan brackets inside the hot water exchange channel can increase the contact area with the heat exchanger, making heat exchange more rapid. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The electric heating element 4 is installed in the mounting hole 3. Both ends of the electric heating element 4 extend out of the mounting hole 3, so that the shell 2 completely covers the electric heating element 4, so that the water in the hot water exchange channel 1 can absorb heat faster and the thermal efficiency is higher. The electric heating element 4 is an alumina ceramic heating element, which has the advantages of rapid and uniform heating, large heating surface, low power consumption, long service life and good heat preservation performance.

[0033] In another embodiment of this application, a heat insulation layer 6 is installed between the outer box 5 and the shell 2 to prevent heat exchange with the environment; the outer surface of the shell 2 is machined into an arc-shaped protrusion corresponding to the mounting hole 3, so that the electric heating element 4 is approximately located in the middle of the shell 2, and the thickness of the shell 2 outside the mounting hole 3 is uniform, so that the shell 2 is heated more evenly. Compared with the traditional hexagonal shell, the amount of aluminum alloy used is reduced. The heat insulation layer 6 is heat insulation cotton. The cross-section of the outer box 5 is a regular hexagon or a circle. In this embodiment, the outer box 5 is a regular hexagon. The top surface of the outer box 5 is horizontal, and a thermostat can be installed on it. The distance between opposite sides (width) of the outer box 5 is 85.3mm. The distance from the top of the outer box 5 to the bottom of the fixed bracket 7 is 107mm. The width of the connector 8 is 25mm, the diameter of the connector 8 is 32mm, and the diameter of the electric heating element 4 is 7.8-7.9mm. According to different market demands, the straight barrel heating element can have different sizes and specifications.
[0034] In another embodiment of this application, the inner wall of the hot water exchange channel 1 is provided with a plurality of radiator 10 arranged along the axial direction. The radiator 10 is arranged at equal intervals, which can increase the contact area between the inner wall of the hot water exchange channel 1 and the heat exchange agent and improve the heat exchange effect.
[0035] In another embodiment of this application, the inner wall of the hot water channel 1 is provided with a plurality of radiator 10 arranged along the axial direction. The radiator 10 is arranged at equal intervals. The hot water channel 1 is also provided with a fan frame 11 with a cross section of "+", which can increase the contact area with the heat exchanger, so that the water absorbs heat faster, the thermal efficiency is higher and energy saving is achieved, and the electric heating tube 4 is better protected.
[0036] In another embodiment of this application, the number of mounting holes is 12.
[0037] In another embodiment of this application, a through hole corresponding to the electric heating tube 4 is processed on one side of the fixed bracket 7, so that the electric heating tube 4 extends out from the fixed bracket 7. Each pair of adjacent electric heating tubes 4 is a group, and there are a total of 6 groups. One end of each group of electric heating tubes 4 on the same side is electrically connected, and the other end is connected to the neutral wire and the live wire respectively. A silicone sleeve 9 is provided at the connection.
[0038] Add a heat exchanger, such as water, to the hot water exchange channel 1. Under special conditions, a heat exchanger with better performance can be selected according to the needs. The heat exchanger is water, and a heat exchanger with better performance can be selected in extreme environments.
[0039] The assembly process for a straight-barrel heating element is as follows:
[0040] Place the electric heating element 4 into the mounting hole 3 of the housing 2, install the heat insulation layer 6 and the outer box 5 in sequence, connect the electric heating elements 4 that need to be connected together, install the fixing brackets 7 at both ends, and tighten them with 6 M4 screws.
