[0026] In order to make the technical personnel in the art better understand the technical scheme of the utility model, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0027] As shown in Figures 1-5 A spiral electric heater, comprising a container barrel 1, further comprising a conical spiral pipe 2 arranged in the container barrel 1, the conical spiral pipe 2 is the same as the liquid flow direction in the container barrel 1, and the side wall of the conical spiral pipe 2 is provided with a conical convex 22 opposite to the liquid flow direction.
[0028] Specifically, the conical spiral pipe 2 is arranged in a sharp conical shape, and the conical convex 22 is a part of the thickening treatment on the side wall of the pipe, and the integrally formed thickened section is in a sharp conical shape.
[0029] Through the conical conical spiral pipe 2, the pipe can be segmented in a ladder shape and sequentially contact the axially flowing liquid, that is, the pipe can maintain the maximum impact contact surface with the liquid in the container barrel 1 in the circumferential arrangement (as shown in Figure 5 The pipe covering surface), so that there is no pipe behind the single spiral (axial flow on all pipes, as shown in Figure 4 ), so that the pipe reduces the flow resistance influence on the liquid, and when the pipe releases heat, it can be fully transmitted to the liquid, so as to reduce the temperature difference between the two sides of the container barrel 1, reduce the thermal stress damage to the outer wall of the spiral pipe caused by the temperature gradient, and at the same time use the conical convex 22 to guide and separate the liquid, so that the liquid flows quickly to the rear, and the pipe can also store heat and release heat to the conical convex 22, reduce the problem of heat absorption reduction caused by liquid flow, and ensure the heating efficiency of the liquid.
[0030] As a further embodiment of the utility model, the side wall is provided with an outer pipe 21 communicated with the conical spiral pipe 2.
[0031] Two outer pipes 21 are provided for the conical spiral pipe 2 to provide heating inlet and outlet, so that the heating medium flowing in the conical spiral pipe 2 can better transmit heat.
[0032] As a further embodiment of the utility model, the side wall of the conical spiral pipe 2 is slidably provided with a sliding sleeve 34 matched with the conical convex 22.
[0033] The sliding sleeve 34 is used to provide resistance and scraping to the side wall of the conical spiral pipe 2, so as to remove the scale on the outer side wall of the conical spiral pipe 2 and ensure the heat conduction efficiency of the conical spiral pipe 2.
[0034] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, a ring sleeve 3 is axially slidably arranged in the container barrel 1, and a second elastic member 33 is fixedly arranged between the sliding sleeve 34 and the ring sleeve 3.
[0035] The second elastic member 33 deforms the sliding sleeve 34 when the sliding sleeve 34 is moved along the taper, thereby ensuring smooth sliding between the sliding sleeve 34 and the taper spiral pipe 2.
[0036] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, a fixed frame 32 is fixedly arranged in the container barrel 1 and connected to the taper spiral pipe 2.
[0037] Specifically, the fixed frame 32 is detachably connected to the container barrel 1 by bolts and nuts, and a metal frame is also used for detachable connection by bolts and nuts on the fixed frame 32, and the connection modes are all prior art and will not be described here.
[0038] The fixed frame 32 provides connection support for the taper spiral pipe 2, so that the taper spiral pipe 2 is more stable when impacted in the container barrel 1.
[0039] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, a first elastic member 31 is fixedly arranged between the ring sleeve 3 and the fixed frame 32 and located outside the taper spiral pipe 2.
[0040] Specifically, the first elastic member 31 is fixed by welding.
[0041] The liquid flow in the container barrel 1 impacts the ring sleeve 3, which is axially slidably arranged on the inner wall of the container barrel 1, thereby driving the sliding sleeve 34 to slide and adapt to the outer wall of the taper spiral pipe 2. Meanwhile, the ring sleeve 3 also deforms the first elastic member 31 during movement, so that the first elastic member 31 can restore the deformation to reset the ring sleeve 3 when the liquid in the container barrel 1 is replaced.
[0042] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, a round protrusion 30 is arranged at the end of the ring sleeve 3 and opposite to the direction of the liquid flow.
[0043] Specifically, the round protrusion 30 is a raised corner at the end of the ring sleeve 3.
[0044] The round protrusion 30 reduces the resistance of the liquid flow, reduces the interference with the liquid flow in the container barrel 1, and gradually promotes the axial movement of the ring sleeve 3 with the impact of the liquid.
[0045] As a further provided embodiment of the utility model, the first elastic member 31 is specifically a spring.
[0046] The first elastic member 31 can be located at the back of the ring 3 by the spring, so as to reduce the erosion caused by the direct impact of the liquid on the first elastic member 31, and the service life of the first elastic member 31 is prolonged by the corrosion-resistant coating (the material is prior art, which is not described here) coated on the surface of the first elastic member 31.
[0047] As further provided in another embodiment of the utility model, the second elastic member 33 is specifically a tension spring.
[0048] The second elastic member 33 is made of the tension spring, so that the sliding adaptation of the second elastic member 33 to the sliding sleeve 34 is higher, and the surface of the second elastic member 33 is also coated with corrosion-resistant coating to prolong the service life.
[0049] As further provided in another embodiment of the utility model, the sliding sleeve 34 is provided with a round corner at the end.
[0050] The round corner of the sliding sleeve 34 is located towards the axis of the conical spiral pipe 2, so that the round corner can guide the liquid flowing towards the axis of the conical spiral pipe 2, and the direction of the liquid is reduced.
[0051] Working principle: the conical spiral pipe 2 can make the pipeline segmented in a ladder shape, and sequentially contact the liquid flowing in the axial direction, that is, the pipeline can keep the maximum impact contact surface with the liquid in the container cylinder 1 in the circumferential arrangement, so that the resistance of the pipeline to the liquid is reduced, the heat released by the pipeline can be completely transferred to the liquid, the temperature difference between the liquids on both sides of the container cylinder 1 is reduced, the liquid is guided and separated by the conical convex 22, so that the liquid flows quickly to the rear, and the pipeline can also store heat in the conical convex 22 and release heat, so as to reduce the problem that the heat absorption of the liquid is reduced due to the flow separation.
[0052] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the utility model in a descriptive manner, and it is needless to say that the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model for ordinary skilled persons in the art. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
