[0028] This invention proposes an air heating device for use in hot air blowers.
[0029] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air heating device includes an outer cylinder 10 and a heat pipe assembly 20. The outer cylinder 10 is arranged with both ends through it. The heat pipe assembly 20 includes two mounting plates 21 and multiple heating tubes 22. The two mounting plates 21 are respectively located at both ends of the outer cylinder 10. The multiple heating tubes 22 are installed between the two mounting plates 21. Each heating tube 22 is arranged through the mounting plate 21 so that a through-ventilation channel 221 is formed inside the heating tube 22.
[0030] One of the mounting plates 21 is provided with a first conductive structure 214, which is electrically connected to a plurality of heating tubes 22. The other mounting plate 21 is provided with a plurality of independent second conductive structures 215. The plurality of heating tubes 22 are divided into multiple groups, and each group of heating tubes 22 is electrically connected to a corresponding second conductive structure 215.
[0031] Specifically, the mounting plate 21 has a through hole 211, and the end of the heating element 22 is located in the through hole 211, so that the ventilation channel 221 is connected to the outer space of the mounting plate 21 (i.e., the space on the side of the mounting plate 21 facing away from the other mounting plate 21). The first conductive structure 214 and the second conductive structure 215 can be a circuit board or conductive line, etc., set on the mounting plate 21. Each heating element 22 is fixed to one end of the mounting plate 21 where the first conductive structure 214 is located and is electrically connected to the first conductive structure 214. Each heating element 22 is fixed to one end of the mounting plate 21 where the second conductive structure 215 is located and is electrically connected to the corresponding second conductive structure 215. The first conductive structure 214 and the second conductive structure 215 are used to connect the circuit of the hot air blower so that current can be passed to the heating element 22 to generate heat.
[0032] In the case of the air heating device used in a hot air blower, multiple second conductive structures 215 are connected in parallel to the circuit of the hot air blower, so that the circuit of each second conductive structure 215 can be controlled individually. In use, the circuit of all second conductive structures 215 can be turned on, so that each heating element 22 can be energized and heated, or only one or some of the second conductive structures 215 can be turned on, so that some heating elements 22 are energized and heated, while others are not working, allowing for flexible adjustment of the heating mode. The ventilation duct 221 allows airflow to pass through. When the airflow passes through the ventilation duct 221, it can be heated by the heating elements 22, so that the airflow flowing out of the ventilation duct 221 is hot airflow, thus achieving hot air output.
[0033] This utility model's technical solution involves mounting multiple heating elements 22 between two mounting plates 21. One mounting plate 21 has a first conductive structure 214 electrically connected to the multiple heating elements 22. The other mounting plate 21 has multiple independent second conductive structures 215. The multiple heating elements 22 are divided into multiple groups, with each group of heating elements 22 electrically connected to one second conductive structure 215. In use, each second conductive structure 215 can be connected to a corresponding control circuit, allowing independent control of the operating state of each group of heating elements 22. This facilitates convenient control of some or all of the heating elements 22 according to actual needs, enabling flexible equipment scheduling and improving the operational flexibility of the air heating device.
[0034] In some embodiments, multiple heating elements 22 are spaced apart, and the mounting plate 21 is provided with ventilation holes 212, which are arranged corresponding to the gaps between the heating elements 22. That is, during use, under the action of the hot air blower's fan, some airflow can flow through the through-ventilation channels 221 within the heating elements 22, and some airflow flows into the outer cylinder 10 from the ventilation holes 212 of the inlet mounting plate 21, and then flows out from the ventilation holes 212 of the outlet mounting plate 21 after passing through the gaps between the heating elements 22. Thus, the airflow can also be heated as it passes through the gaps between the heating elements 22. This increases the contact area, improves the airflow heating effect, increases the ventilation volume, and improves efficiency. Optionally, at least some of the ventilation holes 212 on the two mounting plates 21 are arranged facing each other, allowing the airflow to flow directly out, improving the airflow effect.
[0035] In some embodiments, a ventilation gap 11 is formed between the mounting plate 21 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 10. That is, during use, under the action of the hot air blower's fan, some airflow can flow through the through-ventilation channel 221 within the heating tube 22, while some airflow flows into the outer cylinder 10 from the ventilation gap 11 on the air inlet side, passes over the outer surface of the heating tube 22, and then flows out from the ventilation gap 11 on the air outlet side. Thus, the airflow can also be heated as it passes over the outer surface of the heating tube 22. This increases the contact area, improves the airflow heating effect, increases the ventilation volume, and improves efficiency.
[0036] In some embodiments, one of the mounting plates 21 includes a plurality of relatively independent sub-plates 213, which are distributed circumferentially along the outer cylinder 10. Each sub-plate 213 and another mounting plate 21 are provided with a plurality of heating tubes 22, and each sub-plate 213 is provided with a second conductive structure 215. That is, the heating tubes 22 fixed on the sub-plate 213 are all electrically connected to the second conductive structure 215 on that sub-plate 213, thus facilitating the wiring and installation of the same group of heating tubes 22. Furthermore, ventilation can be utilized through the gaps between adjacent sub-plates 213 to improve the airflow heating effect and ventilation volume. Of course, in other embodiments, the same group of heating tubes 22 can also be arranged in a ring around the circumference of the outer cylinder 10, with multiple groups of heating tubes 22 arranged in concentric rings.
[0037] In some embodiments, the heat pipe assembly 20 further includes a plurality of first connectors 23, with a plurality of first connectors 23 provided around the periphery of each mounting plate 21, and the first connectors 23 being connected to the outer cylinder 10. That is, the mounting plate 21 is fixed to the outer cylinder 10 by the first connectors 23.
[0038] In some embodiments, any two adjacent sub-plates 213 are connected to a first connector 23. That is, two adjacent sub-plates 213 can share a first connector 23. While ensuring the stable installation of the sub-plates 213, the number of first connectors 23 can be reduced, simplifying the structure of the air heating device, reducing production costs, and facilitating assembly. Optionally, the first connector 23 is located on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 10 and is not higher than the end face of the outer cylinder 10. This reduces the risk of interference between the first connector 23 and other components on the hot air blower, and facilitates the installation of the air heating device.
[0039] In some embodiments, the heat pipe assembly 20 further includes a plurality of second connectors 24, and any two adjacent sub-plates 213 are connected by at least one second connector 24, so that the plurality of sub-plates 213 can be connected as one unit, which can ensure the stable installation of the sub-plates 213 and the heating pipe 22.
[0040] In some embodiments, the air heating device further includes multiple fuses, each of the second conductive structures 215 is provided with a fuse, that is, each group of heating tubes 22 is provided with a fuse, so that even if one group of heating tubes 22 is overloaded or short-circuited and the fuse blows, the remaining heating tubes 22 can still work normally.
[0041] In some embodiments, the air heating device further includes multiple temperature measuring modules 30. At least one temperature measuring module 30 is provided on the outer cylinder 10 corresponding to the position of each group of heating tubes 22, so that the temperature of the corresponding area of each group of heating tubes 22 can be monitored independently. The temperature measuring module 30 can be a temperature sensor or a temperature control switch.
[0042] This utility model also proposes a hot air blower, which includes a blower body and an air heating device. The specific structure of the air heating device is as described in the above embodiments. Since this hot air blower adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. The blower body has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an air supply duct connecting the air inlet and the air outlet. The heating device is disposed within the air supply duct.
[0043] Specifically, the hot air blower also includes circuit components and a fan. The fan is located in the air supply duct and is used to drive airflow from the air inlet into the air supply duct. The fan and the air heating device (first conductive structure 214 and second conductive structure 215) are both electrically connected to the circuit components.
[0044] Hot air blowers can be used for purposes such as heating or drying.
