Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric heater technology, and in particular to an electric heater structure that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] Electric heaters, as a common household heating device, primarily function by converting electrical energy into heat energy through heating elements to provide indoor heating. To ensure safety, electric heaters are typically equipped with fuses and circuit breakers as circuit protection devices. However, existing electric heater protection circuit designs have significant shortcomings: firstly, the fixed installation locations and enclosed structures of the protection components make later maintenance and replacement extremely inconvenient; secondly, the protection devices are usually installed on the side panel or surface of the heater casing, too far from the heating elements to detect abnormal operating conditions in a timely manner, thus failing to achieve rapid response protection. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems mentioned above, this utility model provides an easy-to-maintain electric heater structure that is easy to repair, can provide rapid response protection, and is easy to move.

[0004] The solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an easy-to-maintain electric heater structure, including a shell assembly, a heating element is disposed inside the shell assembly, a support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the heating element, and an installation cavity is provided on the top of the support frame;

[0005] A boss is provided inside the mounting cavity. The boss is fixedly connected to the outer shell assembly. A handle is formed on the side of the boss facing the outside of the outer shell assembly. A protective component is provided on the side of the boss away from the handle. The protective component is electrically connected to the heating component.

[0006] Furthermore, the protection component includes a fuse and a circuit breaker, the fuse being electrically connected to the circuit breaker;

[0007] A mounting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the boss, the circuit breaker is located on the top of the mounting plate, and the fuse is fixed to the bottom of the boss.

[0008] Furthermore, the housing assembly includes a base, a rear shell, a protective mesh, and a top cover;

[0009] The rear shell is fixed to the top of the base, the protective net is fixed to one side of the rear shell, the support frame is fixedly connected to the rear shell, and the top cover is fixed to the top surface of the rear shell and located on the top of the boss.

[0010] Furthermore, the heating element includes an electric heating tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the heating element also includes a heat dissipation element, which is disposed at the bottom of the heating element.

[0012] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: a boss is provided in the mounting cavity at the top of the electric heater, which is fixedly connected to the outer shell assembly. One side of the boss can form a handle, which makes it easy for users to move the electric heater. At the same time, a protective component is provided on the other side of the boss. By separating the protective component into the mounting cavity, it is easy for users to replace and repair the protective component later. In addition, the protective component is located on the top of the heating element, which can sense the working status of the heating element in a very short time and realize rapid response protection.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an easy-to-maintain electric heater structure includes a shell assembly, inside which a heating element 1 is disposed. The heating element 1 includes an electric heating tube 11 and a reflector plate. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric heating tube 11. The support frame 2 is made of heat insulation material and has an installation cavity at the top.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer casing assembly includes a base 5, a rear shell 6, a protective net 7, and a top cover 8. The rear shell 6 is fixed to the top of the base 5 by screws, the protective net 7 is fixed to the front side of the rear shell 6, the heating element 11 and the reflector are both disposed between the rear shell 6 and the protective net 7, and the top and bottom of the rear shell 6 are provided with support frames 2 and mounting cavities.

[0023] The top mounting cavity is provided with a boss 3, which is fixedly connected to the rear shell 6 by screws. A handle 31 is formed on the side of the boss 3 facing the outside of the rear shell 6, which allows the user to carry the electric heater and move the electric heater.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a protective component 4 is provided on the side of the boss 3 away from the handle portion 31, and the protective component 4 is connected to the heating element 11.
