Specific embodiment:
Referring to shown in accompanying drawing 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, the present embodiment, it is made up of face-piece 1, upper insulating barrier 2, heater 3, lower insulating barrier 4, heat-insulation layer 5, drain pan 6 and ceramics seat 7, described face-piece 1 is provided with cavity volume, upper insulating barrier 2, heater 3, lower insulating barrier 4 and heat-insulation layer 5 are placed in the cavity volume of face-piece 1, heater 3 is between upper insulating barrier 2 and lower insulating barrier 4, upper insulating barrier 2 abuts against the inner surface of face-piece 1, heat-insulation layer 5 is between lower insulating barrier 4 and drain pan 6, drain pan 6 fastens with face-piece 1, and heater 3 electrically connects with ceramics seat 7.
As shown in Figure 4, face-piece 1 is made by the carbon steel plate that thickness is 0.1-3mm or cast iron, and general employing extrusion process makes, die casting mode efficiency height, stable performance, yield rate height；Face-piece 1 surface undulate is concavo-convex, is greatly increased heat transfer area, improves heat transfer efficiency, naturally it is also possible to use other structure to increase heat transfer area, such as zigzag, gear-like etc..Face-piece 1 is provided with the scrobicular ring 11 for being interlocked with drain pan 6, the flange 61 of drain pan 6 buckles in the scrobicular ring 11 of face-piece 1, the scrobicular ring 11 of face-piece 1 can make the flange 61 of drain pan 6 the most successfully slip into and fasten firmly, it is difficult to get loose, such structure is very simple, assembly manipulation is quick, laborsaving, it would however also be possible to employ other fastening structure.
As shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, upper insulating barrier 2, lower insulating barrier 4 are made by the magnesium oxide material that thickness is 0.1-30 mm, upper insulating barrier 2 is provided with a plurality of cannelure 21 for placing heater 3, heater 3 is placed in cannelure 21, and lower insulating barrier 4 is provided with the convex surface 41 matched with upper insulating barrier 2；Upper insulating barrier 2 coordinates with lower insulating barrier 4, parcel heater 3, upper insulating barrier 2 and the lower such structure of insulating barrier 4, the heat absorption that equably heater 3 can be come out, and it is quickly transmitted to face-piece 1, make the heated object on face-piece 1 absorb heat quickly, reach preferably by thermal effect.
As shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 7, heater 3 is heating resistance wire, is coiled into helical form along cannelure 21, can increase caloric value and the heating area of resistance wire so that the heated object on face-piece 1 is heated evenly, and can absorb more heat at short notice.
As shown in Figure 2, Figure 4 shows, heat-insulation layer 5 is made by the composite fire-proof insulation material that 0.1-30mm is thick, the heat that this material is possible not only to prevent heater 3 from coming out outwardly leaks through drain pan 6, the heat storage that more can well heater 3 be come out, in case after heater 3 stops heat supply, the heat that insulation layer 5 stores continues through lower insulating barrier 4 and upper insulating barrier 2, continue to transmit to face-piece 1, make heated object be continued heating, thus improve the utilization rate of heat energy.
As shown in Figure 8, drain pan 6 is made by the carbon steel plate that thickness is 0.1-3mm or cast iron, and general employing extrusion process makes, die casting mode efficiency height, stable performance, yield rate height；Drain pan 6 is provided with equally distributed reinforcement 62 so that the anti-pressure ability of drain pan 6, anti-twisting property strengthen, and makes whole heating disc structure firm, is difficult to because being deformed by external force, high temperature.
As shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 4, Fig. 8, the outer surface of face-piece 1 and drain pan 6 scribbles coating layer, and coating layer thickness is 0.1-0.4mm, and coating layer is thermostable heat-conductive antirust paint, prevents from getting rusty, corroding, and extends the service life of product.
Under duty, heater 3 have employed the heating resistance wire that heating effect is good, produces heat after energising, and heat is distributed to the surface of face-piece 1 by upper insulating barrier 2, the even heat that heater 3 is produced.Face-piece 1 uses carbon steel plate that heat transfer efficiency is higher or cast iron to be made, and is not easy deformation by high temperature, and face-piece 1 surface undulate is concavo-convex, increases heat transfer area；It addition, the heat that heater 3 comes out is passed down to lower insulating barrier 4, lower insulating barrier 4 passes to the stop during the external world by heat-insulation layer 5 so that the heat transmitted is returned and is communicated up or insulation layer 5 absorbs.Owing to heat-insulation layer 5 uses composite fire-proof insulation material to be made, heat-insulation layer 5 stops that the heat that lower insulating barrier 4 transmits outwardly runs off and stores, quit work under state at heater 3, it is stored in the heat of heat-insulation layer 5, through lower insulating barrier 4 and upper insulating barrier 2, continue to transmit to face-piece 1, thus improve the efficiency of Btu utilization.
Above example is used for illustrative purposes only, rather than limitation of the present invention, person skilled in the relevant technique, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, may be made that various change or conversion, therefore, the technical scheme of all equivalents also should belong to the scope of the present invention, should be limited by each claim.
