[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-6 An embodiment of this utility model provides an electric heater with a protective function, including an electric heater body 1 and a protective component 2, wherein,

[0038] The electric heater body 1 includes an electric heater end 11 and a heating tube 12 fixedly disposed on one end face of the electric heater end 11;

[0039] Specifically, multiple heating tubes 12 are provided, and the multiple heating tubes 12 are arranged in a circle. A flange 13 is provided at one end of the electric heater end 11 near the heating tube 12. After the heating tube 12 is inserted into the heating machine housing, the electric heater body 1 is fixed to the heating machine housing by the flange 13.

[0040] The protective component 2 is sleeved on the outside of the heating tube 12, including a fixing ring 21 and a mounting ring 22. The fixing ring 21 is fixedly connected to one end face of the electric heater end 11. One end of the mounting ring 22 is detachably connected to the fixing ring 21 through a mounting member 23, and the other end is fixedly provided with a protective member 24 sleeved on the outside of the heating tube 12 for protecting the heating tube 12.

[0041] The protective component 24 includes multiple sets of protective plates 241 evenly arranged along the circumference of the mounting ring 12. The length direction of the protective plate 241 is parallel to the length direction of the heating tube 12, and a heat dissipation gap is provided between two adjacent sets of protective plates 241.

[0042] Specifically, during protection, the mounting ring 22 is taken out and placed on the outside of the heating tube 12. When the mounting ring 22 abuts against the fixing ring 21, the mounting ring 22 and the fixing ring 21 are fixedly connected by the mounting component 23. At this time, the protective component 24 formed by multiple sets of protective plates 241 is placed on the outside of the heating tube 12 to protect the heating tube 12, prevent the outer wall of the heating tube 12 from directly contacting the opening of the heating machine casing, avoid damage to the heating tube, and extend the service life of the electric heater body. Moreover, the heating tube 12 heats up after being powered on, and the heat is discharged through the heat dissipation gap, so that the heating tube 12 can be used normally while being protected. The protective plate 241, the mounting ring 22 and the fixing ring 21 are all made of heat-resistant insulating material.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the protective component 24 also includes reinforcing plates 242, and multiple sets of reinforcing plates 242 are spaced apart between two adjacent sets of protective plates 241 along the length direction of the protective plate 241.

[0044] Specifically, multiple sets of protective plates 241 are arranged in a circle, and the reinforcing plate 242 is an arc-shaped plate used to connect two adjacent sets of protective plates 241 to improve the overall stability of the protective component 24.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, at least two sets of positioning posts 221 are provided on the end face of the mounting ring 22 away from the protective component 24, and positioning holes corresponding to the positioning posts 221 are provided on the end face of the fixing ring 21 away from the heater end 11, and the positioning posts 221 match the positioning holes.

[0046] A magnetic block 211 is provided inside the positioning hole, and a magnet 222 is provided at the end of the positioning post 221 away from the mounting ring 22.

[0047] Specifically, two or three sets of positioning pins 221 can be set. By setting the positioning pins 221 and positioning holes, the mounting ring 22 and the fixing ring 21 can be quickly aligned. When the positioning pins 221 are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes, the magnetic block 211 and the magnet 222 are tightly attached by magnetic attraction force. The two can be separated by using a force of 8N. By setting the magnetic block 211 and the magnet 222, the mounting ring 22 and the fixing ring 21 are initially fixed.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the mounting component 23 includes a sliding ring 231 and a rotating ring 232 coaxially sleeved on the outside of the mounting ring 21. The sliding ring 231 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the mounting ring 21 and can reciprocate along the length of the heating tube 12. The rotating ring 232 is rotatably connected to the sliding ring 231, and the inner surface of the rotating ring 232 is provided with an internal thread. The outer surface of the fixed ring 21 is provided with an external thread so that the rotating ring 232 is threadedly connected to the fixed ring 21.

[0049] Preferred, such as Figure 6 As shown, multiple sliders 233 are evenly arranged along the circumference on the inner surface of the sliding ring 231, and multiple sets of sliding grooves are evenly opened along the circumference on the outer surface of the mounting ring 22. The sliding grooves are arranged along the length of the heating tube 12, and the multiple sets of sliding grooves correspond one-to-one with the multiple sets of sliders 233.

[0050] Specifically, after the end face of the mounting ring 22 abuts against the end face of the fixed ring, the sliding block 231 is manually pulled to make the rotating ring 232 contact the outer surface of the fixed ring 21. Then, the rotating ring 232 is manually rotated to make both the rotating ring 232 and the sliding ring 231 move in the direction closer to the fixed ring 21. The mounting ring 22 and the fixed ring 21 are further fixedly connected by the threaded connection to improve the stability of the mounting ring 22 after installation.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a limit block 223 is provided at the end of the chute away from the heating tube 12.

[0052] Specifically, the rotating ring 232 stops rotating when the slider 233 comes into contact with the limit block 223, to avoid over-tightening and damage.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, multiple sets of actuating blocks 234 are provided on the outer surface of the rotating ring 232.

[0054] Specifically, during installation or disassembly, the rotating ring 232 can be rotated by the toggle block 234.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, two sets of handles 25 are symmetrically arranged about its axis on the outer surface of the mounting ring 22.

[0056] Specifically, the handle 25 is provided with anti-slip texture, which makes it easy to pick up the mounting ring 22 and the protective part 24.

[0057] Working principle:

[0058] In use, the mounting ring 22 and the protective element 24 are picked up by the handle 25. The mounting ring 22 is then placed on the outside of the heating tube 12. When the mounting ring 22 abuts against the fixing ring 21, the positioning pin 221 is inserted into the positioning hole for fixation. The mounting ring 22 and the fixing ring 21 are initially fixed by magnetic attraction. Then, the rotating ring 232 is rotated so that both the rotating ring 232 and the sliding ring 231 move in the direction close to the fixing ring 21. The mounting ring 22 and the fixing ring 21 are further fixed and connected by threaded connection to improve the stability of the mounting ring 22 after installation. At this time, the protective element 24, which is formed by multiple sets of protective plates 241, is placed on the outside of the heating tube 12 to protect the heating tube 12 and prevent the outer wall of the heating tube 12 from directly contacting the opening of the heating machine casing, thus avoiding impact to the heating tube and extending the service life of the electric heater body.
