Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a thick film heating module for new energy vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the demand for efficient and stable heating elements in vehicle thermal management systems is increasing. Current mainstream thick-film heating technology uses stainless steel plates as substrates, forming thick-film heating elements through electronic paste printing and high-temperature sintering processes, achieving liquid heating through electrothermal conversion. However, this technology faces the following technical bottlenecks in practical applications:
[0003] 1. Heat conduction efficiency and uniformity defects
[0004] Traditional flat stainless steel substrates have a planar heating surface, and the heating wire pattern is limited by the printing process, making it difficult to achieve a three-dimensional distribution. This leads to the coexistence of localized high-temperature and low-temperature areas when heat is conducted to the edge of the substrate. Uneven heating not only causes energy loss but also generates abnormal noise due to the violent vaporization of liquids, significantly increasing the operating noise of the heating system.
[0005] 2. Insufficient material compatibility and reliability
[0006] The heating system pipes in new energy vehicles are mostly made of aluminum alloy, but the difference in physical and chemical properties between stainless steel substrates and aluminum makes direct welding difficult. Even if a connection is achieved through special processes, stainless steel... With aluminum The mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients can still cause stress concentration at the interface, which can easily lead to peeling or even failure of the welded parts after long-term use, seriously affecting the life and safety of the heating element.
[0007] In summary, developing a novel thick-film heating element that combines high efficiency, low noise, and high reliability, while overcoming limitations in material systems and structural design, has become a pressing technical challenge in the field of thermal management for new energy vehicles.

[0010] Furthermore, the surface protective layer includes at least one first insulating medium.
[0011] Furthermore, the insulating dielectric layer comprises at least four layers of second insulating dielectric.
[0012] Further, the heating resistance layer includes a plurality of first resistors and two second resistors. The upper surfaces of the plurality of first resistors and the upper surfaces of the two second resistors are located on the same horizontal plane, and the lower surfaces of the plurality of first resistors and the two second resistors are located on the same horizontal plane. The two second resistors are located on the left and right sides of the plurality of first resistors. The conductor material layer includes a plurality of first conductors that match the first resistors and two sets of second conductors that match the second resistors. The plurality of first conductors are located at the front and rear ends of the plurality of first resistors and are electrically connected to the plurality of first resistors. The two sets of second conductors are located at the front and rear ends of the two second resistors and are electrically connected to the two second resistors. The clearance portion corresponds to the first resistors and the second resistors, or the clearance portion corresponds to the second resistors. The second conductors correspond to the through holes.
[0013] Furthermore, the first insulating medium and the second insulating medium may be the same or different.
[0014] Furthermore, the surface protective layer includes one or two layers of the first insulating medium.
[0015] Furthermore, the insulating dielectric layer comprises four or five layers of the second insulating dielectric.
[0016] Furthermore, the thickness of the second substrate is less than that of the first substrate.
[0017] Furthermore, the first substrate is made of stainless steel.
[0018] Furthermore, the second substrate is a nickel plate.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] (1) By setting the surface protective layer and the insulating dielectric layer as a multi-layer structure, the thickness of each screen printing layer can be reduced, the process difficulty of each layer can be reduced, the stress concentration during the drying / sintering process can be reduced, the yield can be improved, and the layered structure can be precisely adjusted in shape through the layer-by-layer construction method, which makes it easy to make the thick film heating module three-dimensional to adapt to various shapes and sizes, especially to adapt to substrates with complex curved surfaces or three-dimensional shapes, thereby meeting different application scenarios, especially suitable for scenarios that need to be bonded to curved surfaces, avoiding the problem of thick layer cracking or peeling. In addition, it is also easy to adjust the number of layers according to different needs, enhancing design flexibility.
[0021] (2) Since this application achieves three-dimensional distribution through multi-layer design, compared with the flat plate design of traditional thick film heating modules, it avoids the phenomenon of local high temperature area and low temperature area coexisting when heat is conducted to the edge of the substrate, that is, uneven heating, which leads to energy loss and significantly increases the operating noise of the heating system, and has good heat conduction uniformity.
[0022] (3) By dividing the composite substrate into a first substrate and a second substrate, and designing the thermal conductivity of the second substrate to be greater than that of the first substrate, the heat conduction efficiency is improved.
[0023] (4) By adopting a design of stainless steel plate + nickel plate, the problem of warping and peeling caused by inconsistent material expansion coefficients during the welding of stainless steel and aluminum can be solved, thereby improving the compatibility and reliability of the materials.
