[0005] The edge of the heater shell is provided with a ring groove located at the periphery of the fluid cavity, and the ring groove is arranged with a sealing ring pressed between the heater shell and the heating thick film plate.
[0006] The turbulence column is in cylindrical structure, frustum type structure, S type structure or long strip structure.
[0007] The heating thick film plate is provided with a heating layer and a ceramic insulating layer printed thereon.
[0008] The base material of the heating thick film plate is stainless steel, steel or aluminum alloy.
[0009] The turbulence column and the water flow surface have a spacing of 10-30 mm.
[0010] The top surface of the heating thick film plate is provided with a sealing plate for sealing the heating layer and the ceramic insulating layer.
[0011] The water heating thick film heater has the advantages that:
[0012] The water inlet groove and the water outlet groove are arranged at the edge of the fluid cavity of the heater shell, and the water flow surface is formed between the water inlet groove and the water outlet groove, and the plurality of protruding turbulence columns are arranged on the bottom surface of the heating thick film plate and face the water flow surface, so that on one hand, the flow channel is formed by the recesses of the water inlet groove and the water outlet groove, and the whole volume can be effectively reduced, and on the other hand, the turbulence columns are directly machined on the bottom surface of the heating thick film plate, which makes the machining easy and the manufacturing cost low, and the turbulence columns face the water flow surface and are just between the water inlet groove and the water outlet groove to form the 'U' water channel, the fluid can flow around the turbulence columns to form turbulent flow and increase the fluid flow rate, so that the thermal resistance is reduced, the water flows around the heating thick film plate, the heat exchange efficiency of the thick film heater and the fluid is improved, and the heat exchange effect is achieved.

[0016] The water heating thick film heater of the utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0017] As shown in the drawings, the water heating thick film heater of the utility model comprises a heater shell 3 with a water inlet 1 and a water outlet 2, a heating thick film plate 5 used for covering the top of the flow cavity 4 of the heater shell and a top cover plate 6 used for covering the outside of the heating thick film plate 5 and arranged on the top of the heater shell 3, the top surface of the heating thick film plate 5 is provided with a sealing plate 13 used for sealing the heating layer and the ceramic insulation layer, the heating thick film plate is precisely cast and formed, the base material of the heating thick film plate 5 is a metal material such as stainless steel, steel or aluminum alloy, the heating thick film plate 5 is provided with the heating layer and the ceramic insulation layer printed thereon, the edge of the heater shell 3 is provided with a ring groove 11 located at the periphery of the fluid cavity, the ring groove 11 is arranged with a sealing ring 12 pressed between the heater shell and the heating thick film plate, the left side of the fluid cavity of the heater shell 3 is provided with a water inlet groove 7, the right side of the fluid cavity of the heater shell 3 is provided with a water outlet groove 8, and the water inlet groove 7 and the water outlet groove 8 are arranged at the edge of the fluid cavity of the heater shell and form a water flow surface therebetween. Figure 3The left edge of the fluid cavity of the heater shell 3 has a water outlet groove 8 passing through the water outlet, and the water flow surface 9 is formed between the water inlet groove 7 and the water outlet groove 8. The bottom surface of the heating thick film plate 5 is provided with a plurality of protruding turbulence columns 10 opposite to the water flow surface, wherein the turbulence columns 8 are in cylindrical structure, frustum structure, S-shaped structure or strip structure, etc. The heat dissipation area is increased by more than 50% after the protrusions are added. Since the cross-sectional shape of the water inlet groove 7 and the water outlet groove 8 is a semicircular groove structure, the structure can form two parallel flow channels by the water inlet groove 7 and the water outlet groove 8, meet the flow demand, and the water flow surface 9 formed between the water inlet groove 6 and the water outlet groove 7 serves as the corresponding space of the turbulence columns 10, so that the height of the entire flow space can be reduced.
