Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating technology, specifically to a heating device and a heater. Background Technology
[0002] Convection heaters utilize aerodynamic principles to allow warm air to rise from the bottom up, using natural air convection for heat exchange.
[0003] Currently, common heating elements in heaters include: 1. Metal heating elements (aluminum / copper): These utilize the excellent heat dissipation properties of aluminum to diffuse heat and raise the ambient temperature. Disadvantages include slow heating, significantly reduced thermal conductivity after high-temperature oxidation, short lifespan, electrical conductivity (posing a risk of leakage), oxidation at high temperatures (reducing safety), and limited heat coverage. 2. Graphene coating (combined with a metal heating element): This improves the uniformity and efficiency of heating by coating the metal heating element with graphene, but manufacturing costs are higher. 3. Carbon crystal plate / carbon fiber heating wire: Essentially a carbon crystal heating plate, this synthesizes carbon crystal particles (composed of carbon fibers) with polymer resin as the heating material. The outer shell is typically made of metal materials like aluminum alloy profiles for heat dissipation. Advantages include rapid heating, wide heat diffusion range, excellent comfort, and good water resistance. Disadvantages include high initial cost, lower safety (it gets hot to the touch upon direct contact), and it is mostly used in commercial wall heaters.
[0004] In addition, heaters using the above-mentioned heating devices will generate electromagnetic radiation during use, which may affect human health. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a heating device, comprising: a mounting housing, wherein a vertically penetrating cavity is provided inside the mounting housing; a hollow thick-film heating tube, vertically disposed within the cavity, wherein a connecting wire is provided on the hollow thick-film heating tube; and heat diffusion tubes, vertically oppositely disposed on both end faces of the mounting housing, and spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting housing.

[0034] Example 1
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a heating device includes a mounting housing 10, a hollow thick-film heating tube 20, and a heat diffusion tube 30.
[0036] The mounting housing 10 has a vertically penetrating cavity 11 inside, which is used to achieve the effect of air convection.
[0037] The hollow thick film heating tube 20 is vertically arranged inside the cavity 11, forming an air convection design with the openings at both ends of the cavity 11. The hollow thick film heating tube 20 is equipped with connecting wires for connecting to electricity.
[0038] The heat diffusion tubes 30 are vertically arranged opposite each other on both ends of the mounting housing 10 and are spaced apart along the length of the mounting housing 10.
[0039] In practical implementation, the mounting housing 10 is assembled from sheet metal parts, creating a through-cavity 11 inside. The hollow thick-film heating tube 20 is fabricated on a metal or non-metal substrate by doping a metal resistive paste with electronic paste possessing semiconductor far-infrared functionality, forming a 3-50μm thick-film heating layer. It has high resistivity, enabling it to generate stable power after being energized, and allowing the outer surface and hollow portion of the hollow thick-film heating tube 20 to heat up rapidly after being energized, simultaneously conducting heat energy to the heat diffusion tubes 30 on both sides of the mounting housing 10. After the air inside the hollow thick-film heating tube 20 and the heat diffusion tubes 30 is heated, the hot air is continuously released upwards through natural air convection.
[0040] In this embodiment, at least two hollow thick-film heating tubes 20 are provided and are spaced apart along the length of the cavity 11. The number of hollow thick-film heating tubes 20 allows for setting the heating speed of the heating device, providing a more uniform heating effect, and ensuring that heat is evenly distributed over a larger area. The number of hollow thick-film heating tubes 20 is less than the number of heat diffusion tubes 30.
[0041] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the hollow thick film heating tube 20 is provided with an insulating coating. This insulating coating can not only provide insulation and increase heat dissipation, but also improve the release distance and effect of the far-infrared function of the hollow thick film heating tube 20.
[0042] In this embodiment, wiring terminals 12 are provided at both ends of each hollow thick film heating tube 20 inside the cavity 11, and the connecting wires of the hollow thick film heating tube 20 are passed through and fixed on the connecting terminals 12.
[0043] In practical implementation, each hollow thick-film heating tube 20 has two connecting wires, which are connected to terminal 12, and then connected to the main power switch through terminal 12. Examples include main circuit breakers, relays, and temperature control switches.
[0044] In this embodiment, the hollow thick film heating tube 20 is provided with clamp connectors 22 at both ends, and the clamp connectors 22 at both ends of the hollow thick film heating tube 20 are connected to the wiring terminal 12 by screws.
[0045] In practical implementation, the two ends of the hollow thick-film heating tube 20 are connected to the wiring terminal 12 fixedly connected in the cavity 11 by screws through the clamp connector 22, so that the hollow thick-film heating tube 20 is fixed in the cavity 11. The clamp connector 22 is made of high temperature resistant metal and is covered with an insulating coating on its surface.
[0046] In this embodiment, the heat diffusion tube 30 has a rectangular or circular cross-section, and the heat diffusion tube 30 and the side end face of the mounting housing 10 are an integral structure.
[0047] In practical implementation, the mounting housing 10 is assembled from sheet metal parts, and the heat diffusion pipe 30 is integrally formed with the side end face of the mounting housing 10 to form a heat diffusion module, which facilitates improved assembly efficiency. The heat diffusion pipe 30 can have a rectangular or circular cross-section, but a rectangular cross-section is more convenient for processing and forming.
[0048] In this embodiment, the surface of the heat diffusion tube 30 is coated with a graphene far-infrared coating. The addition of the graphene far-infrared coating increases the proportion of infrared radiation in the 5-15μm band to 85%, achieving resonant heating of deep human tissues and improving thermal comfort.
[0049] Example 2
[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the hollow thick film heating tube 20 is surrounded by a high-temperature resistant ceramic tube 21.
[0051] In practical implementation, a high-temperature resistant ceramic tube is fitted around the hollow thick-film heating tube 20 for insulation protection. The high-temperature resistant ceramic tube 21 is heated by the hollow thick-film heating tube 20. The high-temperature resistant ceramic tube has a higher temperature resistance, far exceeding the upper temperature limit of most metals (usually ≤1200℃). It exhibits minimal dimensional change at high temperatures, reducing deformation or cracking caused by thermal stress. It can maintain structural stability even at extreme high temperatures and is not easily softened or melted. Moreover, it has stronger resistance to oxidation and good electrical insulation, which can effectively improve the service life of the hollow thick-film heating tube 20.
[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a heater includes a main unit housing 40, a fan 41, and the aforementioned heating element 1. The main unit housing 40 has an air outlet 401 and an air inlet 402. The heating element 1 is vertically disposed inside the main unit housing 40 relative to the air outlet 401. The fan 41 is disposed at the bottom of the heating element 1 and near the air inlet 402. The fan 41 is a crossflow fan and is disposed at the bottom of the heating element 1 along its length.
[0053] In practical implementation, the heating device 1 and the fan 41 are electrically connected to the heater's intelligent electronic control module, which controls the start and stop of the heating device 1 and the fan 41. After the heating device 1 is started, it heats up rapidly, causing the surrounding air to heat up as well. Through natural air convection at the air outlet 401 and air inlet 402, the hot air is naturally released upwards into the usable space. The fan 41 at the bottom of the heating device 1 can quickly release the hot air into the usable space, effectively shortening the heating time in the usable space. Combined with the far-infrared function of the hollow thick film heating tube 20 and the graphene far-infrared coating on the surface of the heat diffusion tube 30, which releases far-infrared bands beneficial to the human body, it achieves resonant heating of deep tissues of the human body, making the space heating more comfortable.
[0054] Where there is no conflict, the above embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
