The water inlet area is also provided with a plurality of spaced third heat dissipation protrusion groups. The plurality of third heat dissipation protrusion groups form a plurality of second flow channels. The second flow channels are used to introduce the coolant that enters the water inlet groove from the water inlet into the first flow channel from the water outlet end of the water inlet groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the extension length of the water inlet groove along the direction from the water inlet towards the interior of the flow channel cavity is greater than half the side length of one end of the flow channel cavity where it is located.

[0025] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 A thick-film heater for automobiles includes a heating shell, inside which a flow channel cavity and a heating steel plate are provided. The heating steel plate covers and closes the opening of the flow channel cavity. Multiple first heat dissipation protrusions are arranged at intervals on the inner bottom surface of the flow channel cavity, forming multiple first flow channels for coolant flow. Multiple second heat dissipation protrusions are arranged at intervals on the side of the heating steel plate near the flow channel cavity, with the multiple second heat dissipation protrusions and the multiple first heat dissipation protrusions being staggered.
[0027] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0028] This solution involves arranging multiple second heat dissipation protrusions at intervals on one side of the heating steel plate near the flow channel cavity. These second heat dissipation protrusions are staggered with the first heat dissipation protrusions on the inner bottom surface of the flow channel cavity. This allows the coolant to flow in a staggered manner, resulting in more thorough turbulent heat transfer. This increases the surface area of the fluid during the heating process and removes more heat, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, by setting heat dissipation protrusions on both the heating steel plate and the flow channel cavity, the reliability and stability of the overall heating steel plate's thermal aging are also improved, thus enhancing the overall quality of the thick film heater.
[0029] Furthermore, one end of the flow channel cavity is provided with an inlet and an outlet, and the inside of the flow channel cavity is provided with an inlet groove and an outlet groove. The inlet groove is located near the inlet and is connected to the inlet, and the outlet groove is located near the outlet and is connected to the outlet.
[0030] The interior of the flow channel cavity is divided into an inlet area, an outlet area, and a slow-water area. The slow-water area is located between the inlet area and the outlet area. The inlet groove is located in the inlet area, and the outlet groove is located in the outlet area. Multiple first heat dissipation protrusion groups are arranged in the slow-water area, and the multiple first heat dissipation protrusion groups are spaced apart along one end of the flow channel cavity towards the other end of the flow channel cavity.
[0031] Furthermore, the extension length of the water inlet groove along the direction from the water inlet towards the interior of the flow channel cavity is less than the side length of one end of the flow channel cavity in which it is located. The water inlet area is also provided with a plurality of spaced third heat dissipation protrusion groups. The plurality of third heat dissipation protrusion groups form a plurality of second flow channels. The second flow channels are used to introduce the coolant that enters the water inlet groove from the water inlet into the first flow channel from the water outlet end of the water inlet groove.
[0032] As can be seen from the above description, by setting the above structure, the surface area of the fluid during the heating process can be further increased, and more heat can be carried away, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0033] Furthermore, the extension length of the water inlet groove along the direction from the water inlet towards the interior of the flow channel cavity is greater than half the side length of one end of the flow channel cavity where it is located. Multiple third heat dissipation protrusion groups are arranged in the water inlet area at positions where no water inlet groove is provided, and multiple third heat dissipation protrusion groups are arranged at an angle relative to the first heat dissipation protrusion group.
[0034] As can be seen from the above description, the multiple third heat dissipation bosses are inclined relative to the first heat dissipation bosses, which allows the coolant in the water inlet groove to enter the first flow channel better, thereby further increasing the surface area of the fluid during the heating process and carrying away more heat, thus further improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0035] Furthermore, the extension length of the water outlet groove along the direction from the water outlet into the flow channel cavity is less than the side length of one end of the flow channel cavity in which it is located. The water outlet area is also provided with a plurality of fourth heat dissipation protrusions arranged at intervals. The plurality of fourth heat dissipation protrusions form a plurality of third flow channels. The third flow channels are used to introduce the coolant in the first flow channel into the water outlet groove and discharge it from the water outlet.
[0036] As can be seen from the above description, by setting multiple fourth heat dissipation protrusions arranged at intervals on the water outlet area, the multiple fourth heat dissipation protrusions form multiple third flow channels, which can better introduce the coolant in the first flow channel into the water outlet groove and discharge it from the water outlet, thereby further increasing the surface area of the fluid in the heating process and taking away more heat, thus further improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0037] Furthermore, the extension length of the water outlet groove along the direction from the water outlet into the interior of the flow channel cavity is less than half the side length of one end of the flow channel cavity in which it is located, and multiple fourth heat dissipation protrusion groups are arranged in the water outlet area at positions where no water outlet groove is provided.
[0038] In the water outlet area, where there is no water outlet groove, there are also multiple fifth heat dissipation protrusion groups arranged at intervals. The multiple fifth heat dissipation protrusion groups are staggered with the multiple first heat dissipation protrusion groups and the multiple fourth heat dissipation protrusion groups. The multiple fifth heat dissipation protrusion groups form multiple fourth flow channels. The fourth flow channels are located between the first flow channels and the third flow channels and are used to introduce the coolant in the first flow channel into the third flow channel.
[0039] As can be seen from the above description, by setting up a fifth heat dissipation protrusion group, and by staggering the fifth heat dissipation protrusion group with the first heat dissipation protrusion group and the fourth heat dissipation protrusion group respectively, the surface area of the fluid during the heating process can be further increased, and more heat can be carried away, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0040] Furthermore, the third flow channel is a straight flow channel, and the fourth flow channel is an arc-shaped flow channel.
[0041] Furthermore, the direction in which the plurality of fourth heat dissipation protrusion groups are arranged is perpendicular to the direction in which the plurality of first heat dissipation protrusion groups are arranged.
[0042] Furthermore, the first heat dissipation protrusion group includes a plurality of protrusions arranged at intervals, and the arrangement direction of the plurality of protrusions is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of first heat dissipation protrusion groups.
[0043] Furthermore, the height of the protrusion protruding from the inner bottom surface of the flow channel cavity is less than the distance between the inner bottom surface of the flow channel cavity and the heating steel plate.
