[0002] Thick-film heating chips mainly rely on thick-film screen printing technology to sequentially print insulating media, heating resistors, conductor materials, protective media, and other materials on the heating element substrate, and then sinter them at high temperature to form a thick-film heating element.

[0003] During the manufacturing process or heating operation, existing flat plate heaters may deform due to high temperatures, creating gaps between the water guide plate and the thick film heating plate. This prevents the water flow from aligning with the thick film heating circuit, causing heat to be unable to dissipate in time in some areas, resulting in localized overheating, burnout of the thick film heating element, and affecting the product's lifespan.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, a novel thick-film flat plate heater is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of thick film flat plate heater, which solves the problem in the background art: in the process of manufacturing or heating, the existing flat plate heater is deformed by high temperature, resulting in gaps between the water guide plate and the thick film heating plate. The water flow cannot be consistent with the thick film heating circuit, so the heat in some areas cannot be dissipated in time, leading to local overheating, burning of the thick film heating element, and affecting the product life.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a novel thick film flat plate heater, comprising a back plate, a connecting plate being provided at the bottom of the back plate, and the back plate and the connecting plate being connected by edge welding, a water guide groove being provided on the top outer wall of the connecting plate, and a heating component being provided on the top of the connecting plate.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] 1. The present invention provides a novel thick film flat plate heater. First, the heater and the water guide channel are connected by welding points evenly distributed on one side of the connecting plate to restrict the water guide channel, thereby preventing water from flowing through the water guide channel. The connecting pipe on the outer wall of the left side of the connecting plate can be connected to external fluid, forming a circulating flow path with the water guide channel. This can further optimize the working environment of the heating system and make the heating process more stable and efficient.

[0024] 2. The present invention provides a novel thick film flat plate heater, which forms an electrical connection with the thick film through temperature controllers installed at the top of the front and rear ends of the back plate. The heating temperature can be monitored in real time. When the temperature reaches the preset threshold, the circuit is automatically cut off to stop heating. When the temperature is lower than the preset threshold, the circuit is reconnected to resume heating. This allows the heater to operate within a specific temperature range, which can not only meet the precise temperature requirements of different application scenarios, but also avoid energy waste and equipment damage caused by excessively high or low temperatures.

[0029] 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.

[0030] To further understand the contents of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Reference Figs. 1-3 This utility model discloses a novel thick-film flat plate heater, comprising a back plate 1, a connecting plate 9, a heating assembly, a connecting pipe 2, a temperature controller 10, and an installation structure.

[0032] Assembly of back plate and connecting plate

[0033] The back plate 1 serves as the overall support structure and is fixed to the connecting plate 9 by welding. The connecting plate 9 is made of 304 stainless steel with a thickness of 0.5-1mm, which has good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The top outer wall of the connecting plate 9 has water guide grooves 6 stretched into an "S" shape. The outer end faces of the back plate 1 and the connecting plate 9 are welded around the entire circle. There are evenly distributed welding points around the bottom of the connecting plate 9, which are welded by spot welding to prevent the connecting plate 9 from deforming and expanding. The water guide grooves 6 are tightly fitted to the back plate 1 and are semi-circular. The two ends of the grooves extend to the left and right edges of the connecting plate 9, respectively, to ensure that the liquid can flow in a directional manner along the groove. The connecting pipe 2 at the front left is the water inlet pipe, and the connecting pipe 2 at the rear left is the water outlet pipe.

[0034] Installation of heating components

[0035] The core of the heating component is a thick film 3, which is fixed to the top center of the back plate 1 by a high-temperature sintering process. The heating layer of the thick film 3 is tightly attached to the surface of the back plate 1. A first mounting component 7 is fixed to the top left by welding. The first mounting component 7 is a copper terminal block. The top of the terminal block is fixed with screws to the terminal 4. The terminal 4 adopts a plug-in structure. The connection end with the external power supply wire is provided with an insulating sleeve to ensure electrical safety.

[0036] Assembly of connecting pipes

[0037] The connecting pipe 2 is fixed to the outer left side of the connecting plate 9 by welding. The connecting pipe 2 is made of stainless steel, and its inner diameter is adapted to the width of the water guide channel 6. Its axis is aligned with the left end of the water guide channel 6. The connection is made by welding to prevent liquid leakage. The end of the connecting pipe 2 away from the connecting plate 9 is provided with an external thread, which can be connected to an external fluid conveying pipeline by thread.

[0038] Thermostat installation

[0039] The back plate 1 has a second mounting part 8 at both ends. The second mounting part 8 is welded to the back plate to install the thermostat 10. The detection end of the thermostat 10 is electrically connected to the heating layer of the thick film 3 through a wire. The thermostat 10 on the left is automatic, and the thermostat 10 on the right is manually controlled by the knob in the middle. The action threshold of the thermostat 10 can be adjusted by the knob.

[0040] Overall fixed structure

[0041] Mounting slots 5 are formed at the four corners of the connecting plate 9 through a stamping process. The mounting slots 5 are oblong holes with a diameter that matches the M6 ​​bolts, used to fix the heater to the external equipment. During installation, the bolts pass through the mounting slots 5 and engage with the threaded holes of the external equipment. By adjusting the position of the bolts within the oblong holes, the horizontal position of the heater can be finely adjusted by ±5mm to ensure installation accuracy.

[0042] In this embodiment, the assembly tolerances of each component must meet the following requirements: the parallelism error between the back plate 1 and the connecting plate 9 is ≤0.2mm / m, and the flatness error between the thick film 3 and the connecting plate 9 is ≤0.1mm / m, so as to ensure heating uniformity and structural stability.

[0043] Working principle: External fluid enters the heater through the connecting pipe 2 on the left side of the connecting plate 9. The connecting pipe 2 is aligned with and sealed to the left port of the water guide trough 6, ensuring that the fluid flows directionally into the water guide trough 6. The water guide troughs on the top of the connecting plate 9 are distributed in an "S" shape to guide the inflowing fluid, causing it to flow along a preset path. At the same time, the connecting plate 9 is fixed by uniform weld points and ring welding at the bottom to avoid high-temperature deformation and expansion, ensuring that the water guide trough 6 and the thick film 3 are tightly bonded. After the external power is connected through the wiring terminal 4 on the top of the first mounting component 7, the thick film 3, as the core of the heating component, starts to work. Its heating layer is tightly bonded to the surface of the connecting plate 9, and the heat generated by the power is transferred to the connecting plate 9 through heat conduction. The fluid in the water guide trough 6 comes into contact with the connecting plate 9 during flow and absorbs heat to achieve heating. Meanwhile, the temperature controllers 10 on the top of the second mounting components 8 at both ends of the back plate 1 are electrically connected to the heating layer of the thick film 3 through wires to limit the heating temperature in real time. When the temperature reaches the preset threshold, the thermostat 10 automatically cuts off the circuit to stop the thick film 3 from heating. When the temperature is below the threshold, the circuit is reconnected to resume heating, ensuring that the heater operates within the set range. The heated fluid is finally discharged along the right port of the water guide trough 6, completing the heating process. The mounting slots 5 at the four corners of the connecting plate 9 fix the heater with bolts to ensure structural stability during operation.
