AI Technical Summary
Traditional electric water heaters have low heating efficiency and uneven heating, especially the sides of the water tank are poorly heated. The existing heating element design also results in uneven heating inside the water tank.
The heat-conducting component, which adopts an arc-shaped heat pipe and an arc-shaped clearance groove design, increases the contact area with the liquid in the water tank and avoids the liquid guide pipe through the arc-shaped clearance groove, thus achieving uniform heating on both sides of the water tank.
It improves the heating efficiency and uniformity of electric water heaters, ensuring that the liquid inside the water tank heats up evenly and enhancing the heating effect.

Currently, the most common types of electric water heaters are instantaneous and storage types. In traditional storage-type electric water heaters, the heating element is installed in the inner tank of the water tank. The water in the inner tank is heated gradually to the set temperature through natural convection.
[0003] The above-mentioned structured electric water heater has the following problems: First, the heating elements inside are all straight tubes with a small contact area with the water, resulting in slow heating efficiency. Second, because there are liquid guide pipes on both sides of the water tank, the heating elements are all located in the middle of the water tank, and there are no heating structures on the sides of the water tank, resulting in poor heating uniformity inside the water tank, which needs to be improved.

[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution for a high-efficiency heating component for an electric water heater:
[0019] The high-efficiency heating component of the electric water heater includes an electric heating box 1, a heat-conducting component 2, a heat pipe body 4, and an arc-shaped heat pipe heat-conducting element 5. The heat-conducting component 2 is respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the electric heating box 1. The heat-conducting component 2 is composed of the heat pipe body 4, the arc-shaped heat pipe heat-conducting element 5, the arc-shaped relief groove 7, and the heat pipe heating end 8. Two arc-shaped relief grooves 7 are opened at both ends of the heat pipe body 4. The arc-shaped heat pipe heat-conducting element 5 is provided at the end of the heat pipe body 4. The heat-conducting component 2 is made of any one of the following materials: copper, aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, with copper being the preferred material. The two ends of the heat-conducting component 2 are sealed, and the inside is evacuated and filled with an appropriate amount of heat-conducting medium. Preferably, the heat-conducting medium is a heat-conducting phase change material, which can achieve a very high heat conduction efficiency when used in conjunction with the metal heat-conducting component 2, far exceeding the heat conduction efficiency of the metal itself. The heat pipe body 4, the arc-shaped heat pipe heat-conducting element 5, and the heat pipe heating end 8 are all hollow materials and are integrally formed.
[0020] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the high-efficiency heating component of the electric water heater of this application has two mounting slots 9 at the top of the electric heating box 1. A fixing cover 6 is installed at the upper port of the mounting slot 9, and the fixing cover 6 is located at the bottom middle of the heat pipe body 4.
[0021] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the high-efficiency heating component of the electric water heater of this application specifically includes a heat pipe heating end 8 at the bottom center of the heat conduction component 2, which passes through the fixed cover plate 6 and is placed inside the mounting groove 9.
[0022] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the high-efficiency heating component of the electric water heater of this application specifically includes a thermally conductive and insulating filler 10 inside the electric heating box 1, and the thermally conductive and insulating filler 10 is an alumina filler.
[0023] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the high-efficiency heating component of the electric water heater of this application has a maintenance port 3 at the bottom of the electric heating box 1. A base plate 11 is installed inside the maintenance port 3, and a heating tube 12 is installed on the top of the base plate 11. The heating tube 12 is placed inside the electric heating box 1. The heating tube 12 can transfer heat energy to the heating end 8 of the heat pipe. The heating tube 12 and the heating end 8 of the heat pipe are not in direct contact, which ensures that the heating tube 12 will not transfer electrical energy to the heating end 8 of the heat pipe in the event of leakage. In order to ensure a high thermal conductivity between the heating tube 12 and the heating end 8 of the heat pipe, the electric heating box 1 is filled with insulating thermally conductive material.
[0024] Working principle: This utility model of a high-efficiency heating component for an electric water heater features an improved heat-conducting component 2 on the top of the electric heating box 1. Arc-shaped heat pipe heat-conducting elements 5 are installed at both ends of the heat-conducting component 2. These arc-shaped elements are located on both sides inside the water tank, maximizing their contact area with the liquid inside. The arc-shaped heat pipe heat-conducting elements 5 can conduct the heat transferred from the electric heating box 1 to the water tank, exchanging heat with the liquid inside, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the electric water heater. Simultaneously, arc-shaped clearance grooves 7 are provided at both ends of the heat pipe body 4. When the heat-conducting component 2 is moved to both sides, it moves to the sides inside the water tank, thus uniformly heating the inside of the tank. The liquid guide pipe inside the water tank can enter the arc-shaped clearance grooves 7, and the internal pipes do not affect the movement of the heat-conducting component 2. In this way, the heat-conducting component 2 is not concentrated in the middle of the water tank; the liquid on both sides of the water tank can directly exchange heat, greatly improving the heating efficiency of the electric water heater.
