Description

Tubular heating element
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of heating element heater, can use for domestic water boiler and general household electrical appliance especially.
Background technology
The heater element that uses in above-mentioned boiler at present is generally what is called " armouring resistor ".They are made of the resistance wire in the electric insulation powder that is immersed in inertia chemically, are pressed into then in the metal tube of a gas-tight seal.
The per unit assignable best heating power in surface (being commonly referred to as " thermic load ") is about 8.5W/cm usually 2To boiler resistor and 5W/cm 2To the dishwasher resistor, the latter also is designed to and can moves on drying stage inner drying ground.
The thermic load that changes on the resistor is practically impossible.In order to make heating power mainly be distributed in desired zone, must curved resistor itself make it circlewise or helical form.
With regard to the equipment that uses these resistors, importantly the equipment of different types to be made a distinction, i.e. electricity storage heater (electrical storage heaters), so-called " immersion " be electricity storage heater (under-the-sink), electric boiler of snap action (fast-acting electric boilers) and instantaneous electric boiler (instant electricboilers).
The feature of electricity storage heater is generally, and one or more resistors are housed on bead, and a thermostat cover that contains one or more sensors is arranged, and also has the anodic protection of a magnesium or the anticorrosive device of cathodic protection electrode.Extremely Duan water inlet pipe just in time penetrates water pot, and cold water is delivered to said jar bottom, and efferent duct extends through whole jar, so that draw hot water from the highest portion.
The minimum installation power of this pattern boiler is about 1200/1500W.
So-called " immersion " electricity storage heater is the miniature boiler of position in immersing the unit.For the unit that discharges water is linked easily, often upside is downward during this boiler erection, cold water is entered in the bottom, and hot water draws from top, and this is managed generally as water inlet pipe, is connected to then on the outlet pipe, also can conversely.
The snap action electric boiler is textural similar to the storage heater, one less jar is just arranged so that the function that is fit to satisfy, they are equipped with higher power, and for the sake of security, that that often belongs to so-called " can freely discharge " is a kind of, promptly is contained in the interior water system of jar and is under the room pressure.
The feature of instantaneous electric boiler (or electric heater) is, storage tank is very little or do not have storage tank (to be replaced by the long tube of a usefulness resistor heats, and electrical power height (even can reach 20kW), and for the sake of security, also belong to " freely discharging " type usually.
With regard to the heating facility of the water of dishwasher, generally use armouring resistor above-mentioned.When some stage of cleaning procedure was in being immersed in water, resistor heated water, and in other stages, when electric heater was dry, said resistor heated terrine.
Above-mentioned armouring resistor has many shortcomings, at first is the production process complexity.
This another shortcoming of known resistor is, thermal power distributes with ring-type or spiral resistance device, and all various forms all need expensive special installation.
Also has the other shortcoming owing to following various situations cause: have the differential gap in the resistor termination, so that do not have heat to send there; The tendency of deposition calcium oxide incrustation scale is arranged on this resistor, and it is overheated to cause, and consequently the water in this zone can seethe with excitement (sending noise), and resistor can break; And need big opening so that the ring-type of the heavy form of benzene or spiral resistance device are planted in the boiler.
After all; some shortcomings of existing electricity storage heater are owing to needing following causing: bead is used for supporting that one or more resistors, cover are used for that one or more thermostats are popped one's head in and possibly as potted component, supporting, the electrode of the anode cathodic protection system of a magnesium.
It is that water must be stored in serviceability temperature at least that this boiler also has a shortcoming, but generally this temperature is more much higher than the temperature of snap action boiler, even it is more taller than instantaneous boiler, and installation power is lower, heat loss is bigger, and the calcium oxide incrusted deposit can form sooner, and the two all can influence corrosion.
Another shortcoming is the bottom that can the sizable thermal power of quantity be concentrated on jar with a complex-shaped resistor, in order that guarantee than even temperature, less heat loss, thereby mean temperature is remained unchanged.
Also having another shortcoming is to adopt the armouring resistor water can not be heated for the last time when water is drained out in installing.
With regard to the electric boiler of snap action or present instantaneous boiler, its most important shortcoming is owing to need to adopt than the also big resistor of the storage used resistor of heater, therefore needs bigger bead.
Before proposing purpose of the present invention and explanation more excellent embodiment and some possible modification, be worth the essential characteristic of resistor manufacturing technology is pointed out.Though this technology is a known technology, also seldom is used.
Said resistor is made of the metal support matrix, is generally No. 430 steel of AISI (AISI), even can spread the heat energy that sends and thermal expansion takes place, still can guarantee the bonding of overlapped layers.
On this metal support matrix, progressively add following:
-one or more layers dielectric material;
-one printed circuit, it is by a kind of suitable typography such as serigraphy, lays a kind of special resistance paste and produce;
-one or more layers dielectric material in addition.
" printed resistor " speech will be used to indicate the whole unit by the actual print circuit reaches under it and the dielectric material on it constitutes from now on, no matter this printed circuit is made with silk-screen printing technique or any other circuit typography.
Can getable thermic load obviously depend on hot disappearance ability with printed resistor, with respect to those thermic loads of using, produce lower thermic load in the zone, not increase though expense is special, thermic load may still very highly (be at least 18-20W/cm 2).The same with heating liquid, printed resistor can also be brought into play its function under drying regime, because they can stand the high temperature (being 250 ℃ on the pad of circuit terminal) up to 700 ℃ in air.
Later each layer also can be placed on the curved surface.
Feed cable is being connected on the circuit on the printed resistor circuit, welds on two somes during connection, and these two points are to have a mind to do not covered by second group of dielectric materials layer.

Consult Fig. 1, shown in it one according to the heating element heater 1 that is located in the storage heater jar 2 of the present invention.Under this situation as an example, the hot water delivery pipe of heating element heater 1 for coming out from jar 2.Shown in Fig. 1 to 3, heating element heater 1 is made of following: one section pipeline 3, and this pipeline is made by any suitable use printed resistor technology and material such as No. 430 steel of AISI of bearing suffered chemistry, physics and mechanical stress; A printed resistor 4; With a pipe joint 5.For clarity, just the actual print circuit part of printed resistor 4 illustrates, and is though they are all covered with following dielectric materials layer in the above actually, said as the front, these dielectric materials layers have constituted printed resistor together together with top said printed circuit.Also be illustrated in the bottom of pipeline 3 and the hole 10 and 11 that make on top on the figure.
The connection facility 6 that pipe joint 5 usefulness are suitable and 7 is equipped with as threaded lining, as a means of said pipe joint 5 being respectively fixed on jar 2 (with the circular nut 8 that is welded on the jar 2) and the hot water compartment system (not shown).Pipe joint 5 also is fitted with suitable connector 9 as a means of giving printed resistor 4 with supply of electric power, and said connector 9 is being connected on the circuit on the printed resistor 4, and insulate on circuit to scheme last unshowned known method and all the other elements.
In Fig. 3, except the element that has indicated, also have some hole 11.b to be pointed out, they are on the top of pipeline 3, near its import 3.a place.
In Fig. 4, to the outside, a presumable material layer 14 was as polypropylene before this from heating element heater 1 inboard, and the calcium oxide incrustation scale is difficult for deposition on this layer; Then be pipeline 3, lay printed resistor 4 thereon subsequently, said printed resistor 4 is made of following: one or more dielectric materials layers that are anchored on pipeline 3 matrixes; Actual resistance printed circuit; With one or more outer dielectric material layers.What illustrate at last is that presumable sheath 15 designs are used for protecting printed resistor in case be worn.

Fig. 6 illustrates the possible modification of Fig. 5, and its mesopore 10.b and 11.b are made of on the position of the enlarged section 13 of pipeline 3.
Fig. 7 illustrates a canister 2.1, mistake shown in all once former figure of thereon element of dress, and arrow is pointed out the water (flow) direction that enters and export; Though do not illustrate in the drawings, jars 2.1 also and in the past the pipeline 3 among the figure was the same, and its overall cylindrical partly can constitute a support base with printed resistor 4 identical printed resistors 4.1 at least.Some other element of pointing out was with the element shown in the figure was identical or suitable in the past.Therefore the snap action boiler is fitted with at least two printed resistors shown in, and printed resistor 4.1 promptly above-mentioned and the pipeline of exporting with hot water 3 are the printed resistor 4 of matrix.
Fig. 8 illustrates the heating element heater 1.1 according to second embodiment of the invention, the suitable water that is cited and circulates in one section pipeline as a means of heating in for example instantaneous boiler of household implements or dishwasher of this heating element heater, it is fitted with and one or morely is connected respectively to input pipe and the lining on the hot water delivery pipe 5.1 or the suitable therewith facility that will be heated water by the printed resistor 4 of one section pipeline, 3.1 supportings and two.Some other element of pointing out identical or suitable with shown in the former figure.
Describe feature below in detail according to heating element heater of the present invention.
At first, though the mode that supply of electric power makes for resistor 4 to be stored in the water heating in the storage tank 2 with similar at the armouring resistor of use, the present invention has its special attribute and advantage, is now illustrated.
The printed resistor 4 that usually draws among the figure is no matter it is to be wound on constitute on the pipeline 3 all the same by meander or helix.In fact it can be self disjoint any route, this route even can be irregular so that most suitably along the length of heating element heater thermic load is changed.For example on pair of connectors 9, can begin and stop, perhaps use the bifilar helix of pitch variation with the constant bifilar helix of pitch.
Can have several adjacent printed resistors 4 to be printed on the same insulating barrier, each said resistor is a terminal with pair of connectors 9 separately, and purpose is by one or more said printed resistors 4 of planting the heating power that sends to be regulated.Several stacked printed resistors also can be arranged each other with the insulating barrier insulation of as much, each said resistor is a terminal with pair of connectors 9 separately.
The heating power that this feature might produce printed resistor us is concentrated and is distributed in the most useful zone: for the storage heater, this zone is generally the bottom.In addition, several printed resistors 4 are arranged if desired and not wish significantly to increase the route that the also available said method of overall dimension makes said several printed resistors 4 adjacent or stacked, as long as between each route, be provided with insulation material layer.
An importance of the present invention is, uses same technology can make printed circuit in the printing printed resistor, the outside that the various electrician's or electronics members are connected on circuit jar.These said members can be installed along heating element heater effectively, and said heating element heater can be used as the supporting of said member.Said member is being welded to known method on the end of printed circuit on the only position along heating element heater, and insulate with surrounding environment on circuit; The other end of said circuit terminates on the suitable electric connector of pipe joint position.Said member for example can be: be connected to the temperature sensor (is negative temperature coefficient as NTC) on the respective electronic thermostat; The one pole safety thermostat of bimetal leaf type or have a fusible link or belong to the minimum safety thermostat of another kind of size, directly series welding is received on the resistor of wanting monitored under latter event.At last, these members can be the anticorrosive protection devices of negative electrode.
Temperature sensor also can be made of the resistance track of printing, and its resistance level fully depends on wants measured temperature.For this purpose, the path of printed sensor can be made of to increase all-in resistance sufficiently long track the measurement of the resistor that becomes the variations in temperature function is carried out easily.
Explanation is according to some details and the structural change of heating element heater 1 of the present invention now.
When the water in the storage heater jar 2 is in the heating period, be necessary to impel water in pipeline 3, to circulate, so that the calcium oxide incrustation scale extremely promptly forms deposition, and the water in this zone also can seethe with excitement as a means of anti-sealing slow and heating in pipeline 3.If draw water constantly at this, back one phenomenon will make the user scalded so.At this moment as shown in figs. 1 and 3, can make hole 10 in the bottom of pipeline 3.As illustrated in Figures 5 and 6, in pipeline 3, just can carry out continuous Natural Circulation in the heating period like this.When hot water was drawn, this hole also was useful, and it can prevent that the cold water eddy current from passing through said hole from the boiler bottom.Pointed out once that in prevailing purposes of the present invention, the one or more holes 10 that are made of the 4mm diameter just enough guaranteed recirculation and do not have the cold water eddy current in jar when water is drawn.Also may design other suitable improvement: for example be fitted with suitable refracting plates, be located on the position of the suitable enlarged 13 of section,, can stop cold water to enter because Venturi effect causes local pressure to increase at Fig. 6 mesopore 10b at Fig. 5 mesopore 10a.In addition, heating element heater 1 can be made enough wide making flowing naturally of abundant active within it, so just can not need hole 10.In other embodiments, in contrast, thereby water is with sufficiently high speed or enough drawn the deposition of guaranteeing frequent flushing and can preventing or remove the calcium oxide incrustation scale continually in jar.For this purpose, effectively way can be laid one deck and not glue the material 14 of calcium oxide incrustation scale as polypropylene as shown in Figure 4 in pipeline 3.
In jar 2 moisture heating period, when water rises in pipeline 3 by Natural Circulation, preferably not exclusively discharge, because often have air bubble can hinder the carrying out of circulating at this place at termination 3.a.Reason for this reason, water can still leave by the hole 11.b among the hole among Fig. 1 11 or Fig. 3.
In some purposes, be worth adding outside wear-resistant sheath at the insulating materials outermost layer that constitutes printed resistor 4.This can look like as shown in Figure 4; a protective jacket 15 of being made by suitable material is arranged; but also can make said protective jacket 15 by making effectively, be proved absolutely in another patent application of putting on record at the same time as the applicant as the material of cathodic protection electrode.Perhaps said protective jacket can be made of the tube element of sacrificial metal as a means of protection equipment does not make corrosion (being generally magnesium electrode).Adopt the method for any known method or previous explanation, said electrode or anode just can be wanted on the guarded metal can being connected to suitably on the circuit.
Consult Fig. 1, but heating element heater 1 flexible operating, and this is impossible at known armouring resistor.For a high storage level is arranged, boiler generally remains on water 70-75 ℃, and serviceability temperature is generally 40 ℃.If only need a spot of water and user to wish limit heat losses, storing temperature can drop to serviceability temperature so, but can not be low again.Water can be remained on the temperature more lower slightly when adopting heating element heater 1, once more water be heated and can enable printed resistor in the stage of drawing than serviceability temperature.For this purpose, at memory phase, said resistor 4 needs with the thermostat operation, in the suction phase of water then by flow sensor unit such as pressure converter or flow converter operation.
Shown in Fig. 1 is one to be used for drawing the pipe of hot water from the storage heater according to heating element heater 1 of the present invention, but water inlet pipe that the form that also can take input pipe is extended in jar suitably as the situation in " immersion " boiler or double as and the efferent duct that can preferably heating power be distributed in optimum zone.
And illustrating a snap action boiler, Fig. 7 is fitted with at least two printed resistors separated from each other on entity.First said resistor 4.1 can be regulated with a suitable thermostat storage of water is remained on a definite temperature by jar 2.1 supportings.Second said resistor 4, can be heated water in the stage of drawing with suitable flow sensor such as a pressure converter or a flow converter adjusting by efferent duct 3 supportings.
Nature, in Fig. 7, the single heating element heater 1 that constitutes efferent duct also can be finished two functions, promptly finishes preheat function at memory phase, and finishes final heating function in the stage of drawing, as long as said heating element heater has hole 11 as shown in the figure.
In the modification shown in Fig. 8, heating element heater 1.1 constitutes the heater of whole water basically.The metallic matrix that constitutes by pipeline 3.1 can with any can stand technology that element will run into and chemistry, material physics and mechanical stress (pressure that also comprises the water main) for example No. 430 steel of AISI make.In order to limit overall dimension, sizable if desired area of heating surface, available two or more parallel to each other and coaxial, kinds 1 or 1.1 heating element heater are as snap action boiler among Fig. 7 is used.Perhaps their available unshowned modes are connected in series.Can be located on the position of pipe joint at the connector that is used for connecting heating element heater on the circuit or on any point of the outer surface of said heating element heater 1.1.Outer surface can be by heat insulation, and power can be regulated with any known method of using in the instantaneous electric boiler.
Can be used for dishwasher effectively according to heating element heater of the present invention, the label 1.1 among pattern and Fig. 8 does not have much difference.Said heating element heater 1.1 preferably is positioned in the dishwasher dish; Make water circulation in pipe that will be issued to spout, progressively be heated in each stage.In case being drained, water enters drying stage, but also dry run of heating element heater.
If desired, printed resistor 4 or 4.1 can be laid in the inner surface of heating element heater 1 or 1.1, heating element heater 1 or 1.1 also can have difform cross section (promptly not being circular) or be bent or projection, and this shape should be in the limit that known resistor typography allows certainly.
First advantage of heating element heater 1 is; in the storage heater; bead can be saved; for no other reason than that have following: the fixing threaded circular nut used of heating element heater; one is inserted welding or the threaded cover that thermostatic sensor and/or the erosion-resisting guard electrode of negative electrode are used, and/or one is inserted the threaded circular nut that magnesium anode or electrode are used.But once be proved to be, heating element heater 1 also can support all sensor unit, safety thermostat and erosion-resisting guard electrode or sacrificial anodes together.Therefore in some modification, that might eliminate is not only bead, and also has other holes in jars 2, just except the required hole of heating element heater of the present invention.
In the storage heater, the present invention also can reduce the formation of heat loss and jar 2 interior calcium oxide incrustation scales significantly.
As an example, consider the storage heater that power is 1500W.
A shower nozzle needs 0.07 liter/second flow.If enable resistor in the stage of drawing on this flow, so actually, the heat that said resistor produces is just supplied with the water that flows through this element because there heat exchange than the immobilising outside of water fierceness many.The temperature that the result is drawn water rises to 5 ℃ approximately; If required serviceability temperature is 40 ℃, can water be remained on 35 ℃ earlier so.
If room temperature is 20 ℃, the heat loss that causes so is 25% (thermal head: 35-20=15 ℃, rather than 40-20=20 ℃).
When water is maintained at lower temperature, the less formation deposition of calcium oxide incrustation scale.
This advantage is more remarkable to the boiler of snap action as shown in Figure 7 that those have higher power level.
In general, make us might make the storage heater of snap action according to heating element heater of the present invention, same at that time heating element heater can be preheating to storage of water the storing temperature that is lower than serviceability temperature, finishes the heating period in use then.
The armouring resistor that boiler is used as previously mentioned, the thermic load that has usually is 8.5W/cm 2, and the quick deposition that forms the calcium oxide incrustation scale of meeting, the increase of deposition is directly proportional with thermic load.The diameter of boiler efferent duct is generally 1/2, and " (being 21mm) supposes that length is 600mm, and installation power is 1500W, and the thermic load that heating element heater 1 has will be less than 4W/cm 2, also littler than half of armouring resistor thermic load; And might further reduce thermic load,, can significantly not increase expense like this as long as increase pipe diameter and surface thereof keep the surperficial constant of printed resistor route simultaneously.
