The heating pump includes a pump housing, a motor, an impeller, and a heater. The pump housing has an inlet and an outlet. The impeller is disposed inside the pump housing. The motor is drivenly connected to the impeller. The heater is attached to the outer wall of the pump housing. The pump housing includes a shell and a heat-conducting vortex, the heat-conducting vortex being connected to the inner wall of the shell.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] See Figures 1-6 This washing pump includes a pump housing 1, a pump cover 2 that covers the pump housing 1, and a heating element 3 disposed on the pump cover 2. A water passage cavity 4 is formed between the inner side of the pump housing 1 and the pump cover 2. It also includes a heat-conducting plate 5 and a thermostat 6. The thermostat 6 is fixed on the heat-conducting plate 5. The heat-conducting plate 5 includes a heat-conducting part 7 and a heat-conducting connecting part 8 that extends and is disposed inside the heat-conducting part 7. The thermostat 6 is in contact with the heat-conducting part 7, and the heat-conducting connecting part 8 abuts against the outer side of the pump cover 2. The heat-conducting part 7 is hollowed out above the heating element 3, so that the thermostat 6 does not detect the temperature of the heating element 3.
[0024] The pump cover 2 is provided with an annular mounting groove 9. The heating component 3 is annular and is installed in the mounting groove 9. The heating component 3 is welded and fixed in the mounting groove 9. The heating component 3 is a heating tube. An abutment part 10 is provided on the inner side of the top of the mounting groove 9. The heat-conducting connection part 8 abuts against the abutment part 10. The abutment part 10 is located on the pump cover 2 near the middle.
[0025] The distance between the heat-conducting part 7 and the heating element 3 is a, where a = 2 to 5 mm, preferably 3 mm.
[0026] The heat-conducting sheet 5 also includes a pressing part 11, which is located on both sides of the heat-conducting part 7. The pressing part 11 is pressed against the heating component 3, and the pressing part 11 presses down against the heating component 3. In this embodiment, the pressing part 11 is welded to the heating component 3, and the pressing part 11 is in contact with the plane of the heating component 3.
[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the heat-conducting part 7 are integrally connected to the pressing part 11; the heat of the heating component 3 is transferred to the heat-conducting part 7 through the pressing part 11, and then the heat is transferred to the heat-conducting connection part 8, thereby dissipating heat from the heat-conducting part 7 to reduce the temperature of the heat-conducting part 7. Then the heat is transferred to the water in the water passage chamber 4 through the pump cover 2 (abutting part 10) so that the water temperature in the water passage chamber 4 is close to the temperature of the heat-conducting part 7.
[0028] Alternatively, the two ends of the heat-conducting connection part 8 are respectively connected to the crimping part 11. The heat of the heating component 3 is transferred to the heat-conducting connection part 8 through the crimping part 11. Then, part of the heat is transferred to the heat-conducting part 7 and the other part is transferred to the water in the water passage chamber 4 through the pump cover 2 (abutment part 10) so that the water temperature in the water passage chamber 4 is close to the temperature of the heat-conducting part 7.
[0029] The heat-conducting connection part 8 extends downward at an angle to the inside of the heat-conducting part 7, and the abutment part 10 extends downward at an angle to the inside of the top of the mounting groove 9. The heat-conducting connection part 8 and the abutment part 10 are welded together. The heat-conducting sheet 5 is an aluminum sheet.
[0030] The heat-conducting part 7 protrudes upward and is disposed on the heat-conducting plate 5. The temperature controller 6 presses downward against the heat-conducting part 7, and the temperature controller 6 is in contact with the plane of the heat-conducting part 7.
[0031] Fasteners 12 are provided on the heat-conducting plate 5, and mounting plate 13 is provided on the thermostat 6. Mounting hole 14 is provided on mounting plate 13. After fasteners 12 pass through mounting hole 14, locking member 15 is provided to fix thermostat 6 on heat-conducting plate 5. Fasteners 12 are screws, which are welded to heat-conducting plate 5. Locking member 15 is a nut, which is threaded to screw, thereby locking mounting plate 13 on screw, thus fixing thermostat 6 on heat-conducting plate 5.
[0032] It also includes a fuse 16 and a mounting plate 17. The mounting plate 17 is pressed against the heating element 3. One end of the fuse 16 is fixed to the mounting plate 17 and the other end is fixed to the heat-conducting plate 5. The fuse 16 is in contact with the heating element 3. In this embodiment, the mounting plate 17 is welded to the heating element 3. The fixing method of the fuse 16 is the same as the fixing method of the thermostat 6.
[0033] The thermostat 6 detects the temperature of the heat-conducting part 7, and thus indirectly detects the water temperature in the water passage 4. When the detected temperature is higher than the set temperature, the thermostat 6 disconnects the circuit of the heating element 3. When the detected temperature is lower than the set temperature, the thermostat 6 connects the circuit of the heating element 3, thereby regulating and controlling the water temperature of the washing pump. The temperature detection of the thermostat 6 is used when there is water in the water passage 4. When the heating element 3 is heating, if there is no water in the water passage 4, the temperature of the heating element 3 continues to rise. The heat of the heating element 3 is directly transferred to the fuse 16. When the temperature of the heating element 3 is too high, the fuse 7 is disconnected to cut off the circuit of the washing pump and prevent dry burning.
[0034] It also includes an inlet pipe 18 and an outlet pipe 19. The inlet pipe 18 is installed on the pump cover 2, and the outlet pipe 19 is installed on the pump casing 1. The inlet pipe 18, the water passage chamber 3, and the outlet pipe 19 are connected in sequence. An impeller 20 is installed in the water passage chamber 3. A motor (not shown in the figure) is installed in the pump casing 1. The motor drives the impeller 20 to rotate. When the impeller 20 rotates, external water enters the water passage chamber 4 through the inlet pipe 18. The heating element 3 heats the water in the water passage chamber 4, and then the hot water flows out of the washing pump through the outlet pipe 19.
