[0004] It can be seen that although the existing technology can achieve the effect of heat preservation, after the coupling agent bottle is removed, the heater can still exchange heat with the outside through the storage tank, thus causing heat loss. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a coupling agent-assisted heater to solve the following technical problems:
[0006] Although existing technology can achieve the effect of heat preservation, after the coupling agent bottle is removed, the heater can still exchange heat with the outside through the storage tank, thus causing heat loss.
[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

Two sets of heating cylinders connected to the placement slots are fixedly arranged in the heater housing. Several sets of resistance heating wires are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the heating cylinders.
[0009] A support plate is slidably arranged in the heating cylinder, and the support plate is connected to a lifting module that drives it to move up and down in the heating cylinder; wherein, the outer edge of the support plate slides against the cylinder wall of the heating cylinder;
[0010] Preferably, the diameter of the carrier plate is equal to the outer diameter of the coupling agent bottle.
[0011] Preferably, the heater housing is provided with a pressure plate corresponding to the placement slot, the diameter of the pressure plate is equal to the diameter of the support plate, and the pressure plate is connected to a lifting mechanism that drives its lifting and lowering.
[0012] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a screw rotatably disposed in the heater housing, the screw being fixed to the output end of a servo motor fixedly disposed in the heater housing, a nut being helically sleeved on the screw, the nut being fixed to a lifting rod slidably disposed on the heater housing, and the lifting rod being fixed to the pressure plate through a lifting frame.

[0014] Preferably, a positioning ring is fixed on the placement groove for positioning the coupling agent bottle.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] (1) When heating the coupling agent bottle, the present invention first drives the support plate to rise to be flush with the upper surface of the placement groove through the lifting module, and then places the coupling agent bottle to be heated on the support plate. Next, the support plate is driven to fall through the lifting module, and the support plate drives the coupling agent bottle to fall synchronously until the coupling agent bottle is completely embedded in the heating cylinder. The resistance heating wire is started to heat the coupling agent bottle. When the coupling agent is needed, the support plate is driven to rise through the lifting module, and the support plate drives the coupling agent bottle to rise synchronously until the support plate is reset to the initial position. At this time, the support plate can seal the placement groove to avoid heat exchange between the air in the heating cylinder and the outside, and further improve the heat preservation effect.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a coupling agent-assisted heater, including a heater housing 1. The heater housing 1 has symmetrically opened placement grooves 102 for placing coupling agent bottles 3. Two sets of heating cylinders 408 connected to the placement grooves 102 are fixedly arranged in the heater housing 1. Several sets of resistance heating wires 403 are evenly fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the heating cylinders 408. Specifically, the heating cylinders 408 in this embodiment can be made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity. This embodiment does not limit the specific material, as long as it meets the thermal conductivity requirements. At the same time, the resistance heating wires 403 are also existing technology. Specifically, they can be nickel-chromium alloy resistance wires or aluminum-nickel alloy resistance wires, etc., and their specific materials are not limited, as long as they meet the actual heating requirements.
[0027] In this embodiment, a support plate 401 is slidably arranged in the heating cylinder 408, and the support plate 401 is connected to a lifting module that drives it to move up and down in the heating cylinder 408; wherein, the outer edge of the support plate 401 is slidably attached to the cylinder wall of the heating cylinder 408; specifically, in this embodiment, when heating the coupling agent bottle 3, the lifting module first drives the support plate 401 to rise until it is flush with the upper surface of the placement slot 102, then the coupling agent bottle 3 to be heated is placed on the support plate 401, and then the lifting module drives the support plate 401 to descend, carrying... The plate 401 drives the coupling agent bottle 3 to descend synchronously until the coupling agent bottle 3 is completely embedded in the heating cylinder 408. The resistance heating wire 403 is activated to heat the coupling agent bottle 3. When the coupling agent is needed, the lifting module drives the support plate 401 to rise, and the support plate 401 drives the coupling agent bottle 3 to rise synchronously until the support plate 401 returns to its initial position. At this time, the support plate 401 can seal the placement slot 102 to prevent the air in the heating cylinder 408 from exchanging heat with the outside, further improving the heat preservation effect.
[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the diameter of the support plate 401 is equal to the outer diameter of the coupling agent bottle 3. It can be explained that by setting the outer diameter of the coupling agent bottle 3 to be the same as the diameter of the support plate 401, on the one hand, the coupling agent bottle 3 can directly contact the cylinder wall of the heating cylinder 408, improving the heating efficiency. At the same time, as the support plate 401 drives the coupling agent bottle 3 to rise, it prevents air in the heating cylinder 408 from leaking along the gap between the coupling agent bottle 3 and the cylinder wall of the heating cylinder 408, further improving the heat preservation effect.
[0029] Furthermore, the placement slots 102 in this embodiment can be set in any number, and the specific number is not limited in this embodiment, as long as it meets the actual use requirements.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-4 To further improve the heat preservation performance, a pressure plate 402 corresponding to the placement groove 102 is provided on the heater housing 1. The diameter of the pressure plate 402 is equal to the diameter of the support plate 401. The pressure plate 402 is connected to a lifting mechanism that drives its lifting and lowering. It can be explained that, initially, there is a height difference between the pressure plate 402 and the placement groove 102. After the coupling agent bottle 3 is placed in the placement groove 102, the lifting mechanism drives the pressure plate 402 to contact the top of the coupling agent bottle 3. As the coupling agent bottle 3 descends, the pressure plate 402 can descend synchronously. When the coupling agent bottle 3 is completely inside the heating cylinder 408, the placement groove 102 can be sealed by the pressure plate 402 to prevent hot air leakage inside the heating cylinder 408, thereby further improving the heat preservation performance.
[0032] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a screw 501 rotatably disposed in the heater housing 1. The screw 501 is fixed to the output end of a servo motor 5 fixedly disposed in the heater housing 1. A nut 502 is screwed onto the screw 501. The nut 502 is fixed to a lifting rod 4 slidably disposed on the heater housing 1. The lifting rod 4 is fixed to the pressure plate 402 through a lifting frame 409. It can be noted that in this embodiment, the screw 501 can be driven to rotate by the servo motor 5. During the movement of the screw 501 on the nut 502, the pressure plate 402 can be lifted and lowered synchronously by the lifting rod 4 and the lifting frame 409, making the operation more convenient.
[0033] Furthermore, the lifting module includes a guide rod 406 fixed in the heater housing 1. A guide plate 405 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 406. Both ends of the guide plate 405 are connected to the support plate 401 via support rods 404. A telescopic spring 407 is provided on the guide rod 406. One end of the telescopic spring 407 is fixed to the top of the heater housing 1, and the other end is fixed to the guide plate 405. It can be explained that in the initial state, based on the setting of the telescopic spring 407, the upper surface of the support plate 401 is flush with the top of the placement groove 102. In this embodiment, the pressure plate 402 can simultaneously press the coupling agent bottle 3 and the support plate 401 to descend during the descent process. The support plate 401 drives the telescopic spring 407 to stretch and generate elastic force through the support rods 404 and the guide plate 405. When the pressure plate 402 rises, the support plate 401 and the coupling agent bottle 3 can be automatically raised simultaneously through the telescopic spring 407.
[0034] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the placement of the coupling agent bottle 3 in the placement groove 102, a positioning ring 101 is fixedly arranged on the placement groove 102 for positioning the coupling agent bottle 3.
[0035] In addition, a temperature sensor is provided on the wall of the heating cylinder 408 in this embodiment. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the adjustment module 2 arranged on the heater housing 1 through the controller so as to adjust the heating temperature.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the lifting module drives the support plate 401 to rise until it is flush with the upper surface of the placement groove 102. Then, the coupling agent bottle 3 to be heated is placed on the support plate 401. Next, the lifting module drives the support plate 401 to descend, and the support plate 401 drives the coupling agent bottle 3 to descend synchronously until the coupling agent bottle 3 is completely embedded in the heating cylinder 408. The resistance heating wire 403 is activated to heat the coupling agent bottle 3. When the coupling agent is needed, the lifting module drives the support plate 401 to rise, and the support plate 401 drives the coupling agent bottle 3 to rise synchronously until the support plate 401 returns to its initial position.
