Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric heater technology, specifically relating to a PTC electric heater. Background Technology

[0002] A PTC electric heater is an electric heater that combines a PTC ceramic heating element with an aluminum tube. PTC electric heaters have the advantages of low thermal resistance and high heat exchange efficiency, and can automatically maintain a constant temperature and save electricity.

[0003] A search revealed a PTC electric heater with patent publication number CN206024132U. The heating element is fixed at both ends to left and right bases. A metal bracket is fixed to one side of the left and right bases, and the other side of the left and right bases is fixed to the heating element. A thermal protector is fixed to the metal bracket and has a protective sleeve. A plastic base is screwed onto the metal bracket, and a thermal fuse is mounted on the plastic base. The neutral and live wires are led out from both ends of the heating element. The thermal fuse and thermal protector are connected in series with the main circuit via wires. The thermal protector and fuse are distributed sequentially on the metal bracket and connected in series with the circuit via wires for easy repair and replacement after damage. The neutral and live wires are led out from both ends of the heating element. When used in portable air conditioners and dehumidifiers, the thermal protector and thermal fuse are more sensitive to temperature changes when the air outlet and inlet of the appliance are blocked.

[0004] In existing technologies, PTC electric heaters are electrically connected to metal wires at both ends. After the wires are installed, their connection positions cannot be fixed or restrained. During later use, loosening or detachment of the wires will affect the normal operation of the PTC electric heater. Therefore, it is necessary to design a PTC electric heater to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
