Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric heating tape technology, specifically a highly stable and durable mineral-insulated electric heating tape. Background Technology

[0002] Electric heating tape consists of a conductive polymer, two parallel metal wires, and an insulating sheath. Its key features include a high positive temperature coefficient of the conductive polymer, and the parallel connection of the wires allows for automatic adjustment of output power based on temperature changes in the heated system. It automatically limits the heating temperature, can be cut to any length or extended within a certain range, and allows for multiple overlaps without the risk of overheating or burning. Electric heating tape is commonly used for insulation and freeze protection of industrial and agricultural pipelines. Workers lay and secure the heating tape to the pipeline, where it generates heat to insulate and prevent freezing.

[0003] Currently, existing mineral-insulated electric heating cables on the market experience a uniform heat transfer during the heating process, leading to an overall temperature increase. However, in practical use, the side of the cable in contact with the object's surface transfers heat best, resulting in heat loss on the back side. This also easily damages the aluminum foil tape or insulation cotton used to fix the surface. Furthermore, the production of multi-core mineral-insulated electric heating cables can easily cause misalignment of the wires, affecting the stability of the cable's use. Therefore, a highly stable and durable mineral-insulated electric heating cable is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a highly stable and durable mineral-insulated electric heating tape, comprising a heating core 1, a mineral insulation layer 2, a heat insulation layer 3, and an outer sheath 4. The surface of the heating core 1 is covered with the mineral insulation layer 2 and the heat insulation layer 3, and the surface of the mineral insulation layer 2 is covered with the outer sheath 4. The heating core 1 includes a wire core 5, a sheath 6, and an inner liner support 7. The surface of the wire core 5 is covered with the sheath 6. The wire core 5 includes at least two wires that are distributed parallel to each other. An inner liner support 7 is provided between the wire cores 5. The wire core 5 and the inner liner support 7 are interlocked and connected. The heat insulation layer 3 is offset to one side of the heating core 1.

[0022] In a further improvement, the heat insulation layer 3 partially wraps around the surface of the heating core 1.

[0023] Further improvements include the use of rock wool or aerogel material for the insulation layer 3, and the inner wall of the insulation layer 3 is provided with a heat-reflective film 8. By providing a semi-enclosed heat-insulating layer on the upper side of the heating core 1, in conjunction with the heat-reflective film 8, the heat generated by the heating core 1 is reduced from being transferred to the upper side, thereby reducing heat loss.

[0024] Further improvements include a fastening groove 9 on the side wall of the inner lining bracket 7, and cross-shaped support ribs 10 inside the inner lining bracket 7. By providing a fastening groove 9 on the side wall of the inner lining bracket 7, it is convenient to limit the position of the wire core 5 during the production process, improve the consistency of the spacing between the wire cores 5, and enhance the stability of the electric heating tape.

[0025] Further improvements include the outer sheath 4 being made of stainless steel, and the outer sheath 4 being flat. By using stainless steel for the outer sheath 4, the durability and stability of the electric heating tape in harsh environments are improved. The flat outer sheath 4 can also improve the uniformity of the distribution of the wire cores 5, while increasing the contact area between the electric heating tape and the object surface, thereby enhancing the thermal conductivity of the electric heating tape.

[0026] Specifically, the outer sheath 4 has a heat-insulating coating 11 on its upper surface and a brushed texture 12 on its lower surface. The heat-insulating coating 11 on the upper surface of the outer sheath 4 prevents the temperature of the upper surface from becoming too high after the outer sheath 4 is heated, which could damage the aluminum foil tape or insulation cotton adhered to the surface. The brushed texture 12 on the lower surface of the outer sheath 4 increases the friction of the surface of the electric heating cable during use, thereby improving the stability of the electric heating cable fixation.

[0027] In use, the mineral-insulated electric heating tape is spirally and evenly wound around the surface of the pipe fitting, so that the side of the outer sheath 4 with the brushed texture 12 is tightly attached to the surface of the pipe fitting. The wire core 5 is connected to the controller, and the controller controls the heating core 1 to generate temperature to heat the surface of the pipe fitting. When the wire core 5 heats up, the heat insulation layer 3 can reduce the outward transfer of heat, and the heat reflection film 8 can reflect some of the heat energy to the other side, thereby improving the concentration and stability of the heat transfer of the electric heating tape.

[0028] This invention addresses the problem that existing mineral-insulated electric heating cables on the market suffer from uneven heat transfer during heating, leading to a general temperature increase. In practical use, the side of the cable in contact with the object's surface transfers heat well, resulting in wasted heat on the back side. This also easily damages the aluminum foil tape or insulation cotton fixing the surface. Furthermore, the production of multi-core mineral-insulated electric heating cables can easily cause misalignment of the wires, affecting the stability of the cable. This invention utilizes a heating core 1, a mineral insulation layer 2, a heat insulation layer 3, and an outer sheath 4 to form a mineral-insulated electric heating cable, increasing the contact area between the cable and the object's surface during use. This improves the efficiency of heat transfer, reduces unnecessary heat loss, and by providing an inner support 7 between the heating cores 1, improves the consistency of the wire core distribution during production and use, preventing misalignment and enhancing the stability and safety of the electric heating cable.
