Detailed Implementation
[0033] 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.
[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a double-layer plate electric heating element, which consists of two plate electric heating elements that are fixed together by bolts.
[0035] Each plate-type electric heating element is made of large components such as shell 2, electric heating tube 4, and heat exchange tube 1. It includes multiple heat exchange tubes 1 of the same specification. Heat exchanger, such as water, is added to heat exchange tube 1. Under special conditions, heat exchanger with better performance can be selected according to the needs.
[0036] Each plate-type electric heating element includes at least two heat exchange tubes 1. In this embodiment, there are three heat exchange tubes 1 per layer. Each heat exchange tube 1 is fitted with a shell 2. The shell 2 is made of aluminum alloy. A heat exchange channel 7 is machined in the middle of the shell 2. The heat exchange tube 1 is inserted into the heat exchange channel 7. Both ends of the heat exchange tube 1 protrude from the heat exchange channel 7 and are kept at the same length. The heat exchange tube 1 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the heat exchange channel 7 by a tube expander to better absorb heat and will not fall off from the shell 2.
[0037] Each shell 2 has at least one semi-circular groove 3 arranged along the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 1 on both sides of the transverse direction;
[0038] The electric heating element 4 is installed in the semi-circular grooves 3 of two adjacent housings 2. After the two semi-circular grooves 3 are joined together, they fit against the outer wall of the electric heating element 4. The two ends of the electric heating element 4 are fixed with terminals 5. The terminals 5 can be electrode plates, and the electrode plates at both ends are connected to the neutral wire and the live wire respectively.
[0039] Fixing holes 6 are provided on the fins 11 on the upper and lower sides of the housing 2. The connector 12 is passed through the fixing holes 6 of each fin 11 in sequence to fasten the housing 2 together. Multiple housings 2 are fixed together. When the plate electric heating element fails, the faulty part can be replaced by removing the bolts, which can extend the service life and reduce the cost of use.
[0040] One of the heat exchange tubes 1, located on the innermost or outermost side of the horizontal layer of the plate electric heating element, is equipped with a first pipe joint 8, i.e. Figure 1 The leftmost heat exchange tube 1 of the upper middle plate electric heating element;
[0041] The heat exchange tube end of the other layer of plate electric heating element, away from the first tube joint, is provided with a second tube joint, i.e. Figure 1 The heat exchange tubes 1 on the far left and right sides of the middle and lower plate electric heating element;
[0042] The first pipe joint 8 and the second pipe joint 9 are located at the same end along the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 1, that is... Figure 1 The lower end of the middle;
[0043] Two adjacent heat exchange tubes 1 of the two-layer plate electric heating elements are connected together at one end, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the upper end of the heat exchange tube 1 in the upper plate electric heating body is connected to the upper end of the heat exchange tube 1 directly below the lower plate electric heating body through an arc-shaped pipe; while the lower end heat exchange tube 1 of the double-layer plate heating body is connected to the heat exchange tube 1 at the lower left. Because the lower end pipe joint is equipped with a first pipe joint 8 and a second pipe joint 9, it is not possible to use a corresponding connection method between the upper and lower ends.
[0044] In another embodiment of this application, there are 3 semi-circular grooves, and the electric heating tubes 4 are also in groups of 3, with both ends fixed to the wiring terminals 5 and arranged in parallel. The diameter of the electric heating tubes is 7.8-7.9mm, and different lengths can be selected according to different market demands.
[0045] In another embodiment of this application, 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.
[0046] In another embodiment of this application, the heat exchange tube 1, the first pipe joint 8, and the second pipe joint 9 are made of copper. Copper has fast heat transfer, is not prone to scaling, is corrosion resistant, and has a long service life.
[0047] In another embodiment of this application, a silicone sleeve 10 is provided on the terminal block 5. The silicone sleeve 10 is clamped and fixed on the terminal block 5 by a clip 14, which can protect the terminal block 5 and the connection.
[0048] In another embodiment of this application, multiple temperature sensors 13 are installed on the fin 11. The temperature sensors are surface-mount type and can be screwed onto the fin 11 by means of bolts or self-tapping screws. They can monitor the temperature of the heating element at different locations and prevent dry burning.
[0049] The assembly process for the double-layer plate electric heating element is as follows:
[0050] Place the pre-positioned electric heating tube 4 with the soldered terminal 5 into the semi-circular groove 3, press the electric heating tube 4 tightly, and lock the electric heating tube 4 with the connector 12 according to the positioning, so that the shell 2 is completely attached to the surface of the electric heating tube 4; when the electric heating tube 4 heats, the shell 2 can transfer the heat to the liquid in the heat exchange tube 1 very well.
[0051] Connect the two ends of heat exchange tube 1 through arc-shaped pipes, connect the power cord and water pipe, and a complete plate electric heating element is assembled. The process is simple.
[0052] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
