Direct high voltage requires ceramic substrates and high-voltage-resistant encapsulation materials, making the process even more complex and costly. Furthermore, to improve heating performance and achieve rapid heating, the heater power needs to be increased. However, due to the inherent limitations of PTC technology, high-power PTC heaters result in larger size and increased weight, making them unsuitable for electric vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0030] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a high-power multi-layer heating device includes a first electric heating plate 5, a second electric heating plate 7 and an intermediate guide plate 6 arranged sequentially from top to bottom, with an intermediate meandering flow channel 61 provided on the intermediate guide plate 6.

[0032] The first electric heating plate 5 and the second electric heating plate 7 have the same structure, both including an electric heating substrate 55 and an electric heating layer disposed on the electric heating substrate 55. The electric heating layer includes an encapsulation insulation layer 51, a heating resistance layer 52 and a bottom insulation layer 54 disposed sequentially from top to bottom, and a conductor layer 53 disposed between the encapsulation insulation layer 51 and the bottom insulation layer 54 and connected to the heating resistance layer 52. The bottom insulation layer 54 is disposed on the electric heating substrate 55.

[0033] The encapsulating insulation layer 51 can be made of ceramic material and sintered at high temperature to protect the conductive circuit from scratches and impacts from foreign objects.

[0034] The heating resistance layer 52 is made of precious metal ruthenium and its oxides, sintered at high temperature, and is used for heating when electricity is applied. The heating resistance layer 52 can achieve high-power heating.

[0035] The conductor layer 53 is made of precious metals such as silver, palladium and platinum sintered at high temperature. It has low resistivity and does not generate heat. It is used to connect the heating resistor to provide external input solder joints.

[0036] The bottom insulating layer 54 is made of ceramic material sintered at high temperature, and is used as an insulating medium between the heating resistor and the electric heating substrate 55 to ensure basic insulation.

[0037] The electric heating substrate 55 is made of stainless steel plates such as SUS430, SUS444, and SUS445 and is used to carry thick film circuits.

[0038] The first electric heating plate 5 and the second electric heating plate 7 operate at a voltage range of 450-850V and have a power capacity of up to 20KW.

[0039] The performance of the first electric heating plate 5 is as follows:

[0040]

[0041] The performance of the second electric heating plate 7 is as follows:

[0042]

[0043] The heating resistance layer 52 does not require voltage reduction and stabilization, and its heating power changes synchronously with the voltage. Because it is a film structure, the overall size of the electric heater is small and the structure is compact.

[0044] The intermediate guide plate 6 includes a guide frame 62, a guide liner 63, and a guide connecting rod 64. The guide frame 62 has an inlet confluence channel 66 and an outlet confluence channel 67 at both ends, respectively, communicating with the intermediate meandering flow channel 61. Multiple guide liners 63 are located inside the guide frame 62 and are arranged in parallel, extending along the length of the intermediate guide plate 6. The guide connecting rod 64 is located inside the guide frame 62 and connected to the guide liner 63, forming the intermediate meandering flow channel 61 inside the guide frame 62. The thickness of the guide connecting rod 64 is less than the thickness of the guide frame 62 and the guide liner 63, allowing the internal liquid to flow normally.

[0045] To facilitate the fixing of the intermediate guide plate 6, the intermediate guide plate 6 is also provided with a number of first connecting posts 65. The first connecting posts 65 are provided with first connecting holes 66. Screws pass through the first electric heating plate 5, the first connecting holes 66 and the second electric heating plate 7 to fix the first electric heating plate 5, the second electric heating plate 7 and the intermediate guide plate 6.

[0046] The intermediate guide plate 6 is located between the first electric heating substrate of the first electric heating plate 5 and the second electric heating layer of the second electric heating plate 7. In order to improve the heat exchange efficiency and avoid the temperature between the first electric heating substrate and the second electric heating plate 7 from being too high, the two ends of the first connecting post 65 are higher than the intermediate guide plate 6. The first connecting post 65 makes the intermediate guide plate 6 form a gap between the first electric heating plate 5 and the second electric heating plate 7, so that the liquid can pass through quickly and quickly remove the heat between the first electric heating plate 5 and the second electric heating plate 7, avoiding heat focusing and causing the temperature to be too high, and improving the uniformity of the outlet water temperature.

[0047] like Figures 9 to 16 As shown, a high-pressure, high-power electric heater includes a high-power multi-layer heating device, a heating base 1, a heating bottom plate 2, a control plate 4, and a cover plate 3. The heating base 1 has a first heating cavity 10 at its bottom, with a first meandering flow channel 11 at the bottom. The heating base 1 has an inlet 12 and an outlet 13 at both ends, both communicating with the first heating cavity 10 and the first meandering flow channel 11. The heating bottom plate 2 has a second meandering flow channel 22, which is sealed and fixed to the top of the first heating cavity 10. The high-power multi-layer heating device is located inside the first heating cavity 10. A first electric heating plate 5 rests against the first meandering flow channel 11, and a second electric heating plate 7 rests against the second meandering flow channel 22. The control plate 4 is installed in a control groove 15 at the top of the heating base 1. The cover plate 3 is sealed and fixed to the heating base 1 and located on top of the control groove 15. The first electric heating plate 5 closes the top of the first detour channel 11, allowing liquid to flow within the first detour channel 11, and heats the liquid within the first detour channel 11. The second electric heating plate 7 closes the top of the second detour channel 22, allowing liquid to flow within the second detour channel 22, and heats the liquid within the second detour channel 22.

[0048] When the liquid enters from the inlet 12, the liquid is divided into three paths. The first path enters the first detour channel 11, the second path enters the middle detour channel 61 of the middle guide plate 6, and the third path enters the second detour channel 22. Liquid flows over both sides of the first electric heating plate 5 and the second electric heating plate 7, which can quickly remove heat.

[0049] To improve heat exchange efficiency and ensure uniform temperature, the intermediate detour channel 61 is mirrored with the first detour channel 11 and the second detour channel 22, meaning that the three detour channels have the same structure and the same path and direction of liquid flow inside.

[0050] To improve the accuracy of temperature control, a temperature sensor is also included. Three temperature sensors are installed inside the first heating chamber 10 and are located in the middle and at both ends of the first heating chamber 10, respectively. When the temperature sensors are located at both ends, they are located at the liquid inlet 12 and the liquid outlet 13, respectively.

[0051] The overall weight is less than 3KG, which is less than the existing 3.6KG weight of PTC-based devices.

[0052] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
