Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric heating element technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency energy-saving heater. Background Technology
[0002] In everyday hot air products, such as hair dryers, the heating element currently typically uses iron-chromium or nickel-chromium wire wound around a mica frame to heat the blown air. This winding process involves multiple layers, resulting in a significant heat accumulation effect. Furthermore, the mica frame is quite large, occupying considerable assembly space and preventing further reduction in the overall product size. Additionally, the heating process generates magnetic energy, leading to low heat utilization efficiency. Moreover, the temperature at some points can reach over 1000 degrees Celsius when powered on, indicating uneven heating. This necessitates temperature control circuitry for overheat protection, indirectly increasing costs.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design new electrothermal elements to overcome the shortcomings of traditional products. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] The preferred embodiment of this utility model features a high-efficiency energy-saving heater, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a circular PTC heating element 10 and a conductor mounting shaft 20 passing through the PTC heating element 10. Of course, the PTC heating element can also be other shapes, such as quadrilaterals, pentagons, other polygons, or irregular shapes. Its specific shape can be determined according to the actual installation situation. The conductor mounting shaft 20 is a screw. The PTC heating element 10 is provided with a clearance hole 101 to avoid the conductor mounting shaft 20; multiple ventilation holes 102 are provided on the side wall of the PTC heating element 10 between its edge and the clearance hole 101 and are evenly arranged. When installed inside a product with an air duct, the air in the air duct can be evenly distributed to each ventilation hole 102 for independent heating.
[0026] Furthermore, a first conductive washer 30 and a second conductive washer 40 are respectively provided on the two side walls of the PTC heating element 10. The outer contour of the first conductive washer 30 is square, and the outer contour of the second conductive washer 40 is circular. The inner holes of the first conductive washer 30 and the second conductive washer 40 are both circular, and their inner diameters are smaller than the diameter of the clearance hole 101. Positioning members are provided at both ends of the conductor mounting shaft 20 to press the first conductive washer 30 and the second conductive washer 40 against the PTC heating element 10, so as to ensure that the first conductive washer 30 and the second conductive washer 40 are tightly connected to the two pin terminals of the PTC heating element 10.
[0027] Furthermore, a first electrode terminal 50 and a second electrode terminal 60 are sequentially arranged axially on one side of the PTC heating element 10. The first electrode terminal 50 is in close contact with the first conductive pad ring 30, and the second electrode terminal 60 is in close contact with the conductor mounting shaft 20 through a positioning member close to it, so that the conductor mounting shaft 20 and the second conductive pad ring 40 form a connecting line connecting the second electrode terminal 60 and the pin of the PTC heating element 10.
[0028] The heater provided in this embodiment has a simple overall structure and provides uniform heating. Compared with traditional resistance wire heating, it has higher thermal efficiency because it does not generate magnetic energy conversion loss. Moreover, by utilizing the Curie point heating characteristic of the PTC heating element 10, that is, the resistance of the PTC becomes extremely large after the temperature reaches its threshold maximum, which limits the current flow and thus limits the further increase in temperature. This achieves self-temperature control without the need for an external temperature control circuit, greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the product.
[0029] In this embodiment, an insulating member 70 is provided between the first electrode terminal 50 and the second electrode terminal 60. The insulating member 70 is made of insulating ceramic, but other high-temperature resistant materials, such as commonly used quartz or asbestos products, can also be used. The insulating member 70 is a ring-shaped part and is sleeved on the conductor mounting shaft 20. When assembled, the first electrode terminal 50 and the second electrode terminal 60 are located at the two ends of the insulating member 70, respectively. The insulating member 70 can prevent the first electrode terminal 50 and the second electrode terminal 60 from short-circuiting due to contact.
[0030] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the first conductive pad ring 30 is larger than the inner diameter of the second conductive pad ring 40. The end of the insulating member 70 facing the PTC heating element 10 has an annular extension 701 that passes through the inner cavity of the first conductive pad ring 30 and extends into the clearance hole 101. The annular extension 701 is cylindrical, and the length of the annular extension 701 extending into the clearance hole 101 is at least greater than half the length of the clearance hole 101. In practice, half of it extends into two-thirds of the clearance hole 101 to prevent the conductor mounting shaft 20 from directly contacting the inner wall of the clearance hole 101 when it is misaligned, thus achieving the effect of protection and correction.
[0031] In this embodiment, one of the two positioning components is a bolt head 80 that is coaxially and integrally connected with the conductor mounting shaft 20, and the other positioning component is a conductor nut 90 that is coaxially and threadedly connected with the conductor mounting shaft 20. When assembled in place, the conductor nut 90 abuts the second electrode terminal 60 against the insulating member 70, thereby pressing the insulating member 70, the first electrode terminal 50, and the first conductive washer ring 30 against the PTC heating element 10, ensuring the stability of the overall structure after installation.
[0032] In this embodiment, both the first electrode terminal 50 and the second electrode terminal 60 include an annular body a1 and an extension arm a2 radially disposed on the outer peripheral sidewall of the annular body a1. When assembled, the two extension arms a2 are located on both sides of the conductor mounting shaft 20. The annular body a1 of the first electrode terminal 50 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the annular extension 701, and the annular body a1 of the second electrode terminal 60 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the conductor mounting shaft 20 and is abutted against the insulating member 70 by the conductor nut 90.
[0033] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the second electrode terminal 60 is smaller than the outer diameter of the insulating member 70. The conductor nut 90 has a coaxial annular abutment portion 901 on the outer side wall of one end near the second electrode terminal 60. The outer diameter of the annular abutment portion 901 is larger than the outer diameter of the annular body a1 of the second electrode terminal 60. The end face of the annular abutment portion 901 facing the PTC heating element is flush with the adjacent end face of the conductor nut. When assembled, the annular abutment portion 901 presses the annular body a1 of the second electrode terminal 60 against the insulating member 70. Through the double fixing effect of the annular body a1 and the conductor nut 90, the fit of the first electrode terminal 50 and the second electrode terminal 60 and the stability after installation can be guaranteed.
[0034] In this embodiment, the end of the extension arm a2 has a bent portion a21 parallel to the conductor mounting axis 20, and the bent portion a21 faces away from the PTC heating element 10. Specifically, the extension arm a2 is a thin sheet structure, and the bent portion a21 has extension portions a22 on both sides in its width direction. That is, the width of the bent portion a21 is greater than the width of the end of the extension arm a2 near the annular body a1, so as to ensure that there is more area for welding operation when connecting external wires.
