Description
The application is an application number: 200310119952.7, the applying date: on October 7th, 1998, denomination of invention: the dividing an application of the patent application of " improvement of electric-heating container ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to the improvement of electric-heating container, be specifically related to electric hot water container for example electric kettle, electric heater, electric heating water vat, electric heating kettle, electric heating tank and experimental facilities etc.
Background technology
Electric power heating kettle and electric heater adopt the filament winding resistance heater to make heating element heater traditionally, and this heater is contained in the tubular metal jacket by insulating part.General and the unit top board coupling of the heating element heater of this jacket, heating element heater suitably is fixed on this top board, this top board is used for being fixed on heating element heater on the relevant utensil or being contained in the relevant utensil, forms opening usually on a wall of container for this purpose.
Yet also have known dull and stereotyped heating, and in coffee maker, be used as heating plate and used a lot year.A kind of this flat-panel component is made of aluminium sheet, this aluminium sheet have aforesaid be added in or riveting at the sheathed heating element of its downside.Also provide such flat plate heating element, this heating element heater look is drawn together resistive heating track, and this circuit utilizes on method for printing or offset printing method be imprinted at the bottom of the electrically insulating substrate.A this element comprises the stainless steel liner plate, and a side of this liner plate scribbles glass or other electrically insulating material, forms resistive heating track on this glass surface, and then forms the electric edge layer of another layer on resistive heating track.Flat plate heating element being installed in adding the container of hot water being considered to favourable, is so at least aesthetically, because at internal tank obstruction property element not.
The method that flat plate heating element is fixed on the water heating vessels of plastics need make the container bottom of container body have the internal flange part of retaining element installing plate usually.This installing plate for example can be fixed with rivet, as described in US-A-3308225, is under the removable condition at element perhaps, and preferably adopting has the retainer ring of threaded post to fix, as described in UK Patent Application No.9614872.1.Utilize gasket seal to form liquid sealing between element and the container body, the sealing pad is compressed between the flange section of element and chamber wall by rivet or threaded post fastening.
The recent designer trends of water heater are to make the diameter of the diameter of container top less than its bottom.This just causes two problems for element is contained on container.The firstth,, element can not be installed from the top of container, because the diameter of element is greater than the diameter of container top opening.The secondth,, the mould heart past that forms internal tank extracts out from container top, and must extract out from the bottom of container now.Therefore just no longer may form conventional flange section in the bottom of container in molded operating period, because flange can hinder the extraction of the mould heart.Perhaps select to adopt independent operating procedure in the container manufacture process, flange is welded in place, but this also is disadvantageous, because the very expensive processing unit (plant) that is used for welding operation of this action need has significantly increased production cost.
We attempt to address this problem, and method is to form screw hole in the inside of chamber wall, and the hole that screw is passed on the detail assembly panel is fixed on element on the container, as shown in Figure 1 then.Yet in order to obtain sufficient intensity, must too increase wall thickness, this causes extra cost again, perhaps must be in the outside of container molded malformation or ugly lug boss, this also is unfavorable.
Explanation is a kind of in W0-A-9618331 and CA-A-1202659 is fixed on method in the plastics electric hot water container with flat plate heating element, installing plate has supine bathtub construction, put into seal in this structure, and this bathtub construction is matched with the downward protrusion flange of container body.Seal and flange all embed in this bathtub construction, make this structure sealed in the mode that is similar to can end.Fig. 2 of W0-A-9618331 and Fig. 1 of CA-A-1202659 all illustrate the thickness that needs to increase the container lower part wall, to adapt to this cooperation.This cooperation is used on the above-mentioned novel circular cone container, and can making wall at inner thickening.Yet the thickening that needs can cause some distortion of external container, and requires the cone angle of container body quite big, and the sufficient to guarantee thick wall part can not extend upward too far away along container side.Another shortcoming of this method is impossible reclaim and unload element from container in order to repair or to classify.
The another kind of installation of explanation cooperates in GB-A-2291325, and this cooperation has been used on the Millennium electric heater of PifcoLimited company production.This device depends on internal flange, utilizes this flange can clamp flat-panel component along the deformations of element downside retainer ring.Such device depends on internal flange, is not suitable for above-mentioned novel toot.In addition, element is taken off repair or classification to reclaim be impossible.
When being contained in flat-panel component on the plastic containers, also have various other problems to overcome.For example: the water in the container is when cold water changes to boiling water, and the diameter of container body will change about 1.5mm; The stainless expansion system that is generally used for making element is significantly less than the expansion system that is generally the container phantom prepared material that polyethylene does, thereby when vessel temp rises, causes the relative size variation; Be difficult to keep the reasonable tolerance of container body size, even be difficult to make it to keep circular.The problem in back is easy to be heated kettle manufacturer and underestimates, particularly producing low-cost container area for example the producer of the Far East Area underestimate.
Summary of the invention
Therefore main purpose of the present invention is to overcome or reduce the problems referred to above at least greatly.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a kind of heating element heater erecting device that is used for molded plastic liquid heating container is provided, this device comprises a flat plate heating element, one side of this heating element heater is fixed on along on many element align members of chamber wall setting by the locking member of variable-diameter, this locking member can expand or shrink, make self can be locked at the opposite side of element on the chamber wall, thus the supporting member that provides for element.
Locking member can comprise a split ring, and this ring has many outer rim protuberances, depends on that this ring is at internal tank or at external container, and described in use protuberance can expand or shrink, thus this protuberance can with many notch interlockings of forming on the chamber wall.This ring has at gap and slidably overlaps the end, thereby can form continuous area supported during the vary in diameter of ring, and this ring is positioned at following end and cans be compared to that to be positioned at top end the thickest most.
The axially extended diametral rib in the container body that the element align member is preferably elongated, the integral part of the molded container that this rib is formed.
Its diameter of flat plate heating element equates with the container diameter that is positioned at the align member contact jaw basically.Perhaps, element can have than minor diameter, makes annular mounting flange to be fixed in the above, and element added the total diameter of flange and contacted the end with align member and locate the diameter of container and match this moment.
Element or element/flange united piece has the seal that forms along its outer rim, the sealing part has one or more thin the elastic ring finger or the fins that radially extend, this fin can deformation, and get the chamber wall shape that fin is pasting, this fin can absorb the size and dimension variation that chamber wall is owed scope.Another advantage along the fixing above-mentioned seal of circumference is a not direct physical contact element align member of element.Say that accurately element only directly contacts seal, the danger that the heat that has so just reduced for example to be produced by element during thousand burnings is damaged chamber wall.
When seal and annular mounting flange coupling, seal can be combined into one with mounting flange easily, for example forms seal and mounting flange by twice molding process, and sealed junction is combined on the mounting flange.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the seal of element fixing apparatus coupling in a kind of and the heating vessel is provided, the sealing part is suitable for being contained in the outer rim of flat plate heating element, and comprise one or more elastic ring fins, this fin during use can deformation, to get the shape of the chamber wall that this fin pasting.Adopt the advantage of this seal to be, these one or more fins can absorb the large-scale size shape of chamber wall to be changed.In addition, the sealing ring is different with O shape ring, does not need extra compression to form watertight and connects.And seal is only required minimum confining force in the scope of 250ml water, because the pressure of the effect of expecting is very low.
The sealing part comprises for example silicon rubber of adiabatic elastomeric material, comprises that also locating slot or other are used to receive and force the member of receiving element annular section.
The invention still further relates to the joint of flat plate heating element and above-mentioned seal and comprise above-mentioned joint or comprise the heating vessel of above-mentioned heating element heater erecting device.
The above-mentioned device that electrical heating elements is fixed in the container body is well suited for this heating element heater that the heating element heater of fixing its jacket is fixed in the corrosion resistant plate downside, because used steel plate is generally the steel of very thin specification, so be easy to form the supporting base of elastic sealing element in its outer rim.Being used in stainless steel in this heating element structure, to be generally 0.5mm thick, makes of 18/8 type stainless steel.This kind fixture not too is suitable for thick-film heating element, this heating element heater is included in resistive heating track or the zone of heating that forms on the stainless steel lining and is positioned at above the resistance heater and following electric insulation layer with what glass formed, the little reason that is fit to is, the steel that is used as end liner in this heating element heater must be quite thick, so that can bear process temperature excessive deformation do not take place.Its thickness of thick film element plate generally surpasses 1.0mm, adopt the ferritic stainless steel of having bought not too easily to make, and needing the extra diameter parts of formation elastic sealing element supporting base to increase unwanted surcharge, this expense is produced any extra benefit hardly.
For overcoming or at least significantly reducing the problems referred to above, as mentioned above, can use annular mounting flange with above-mentioned heating element heater.On the other hand, according to another aspect of the present invention, internal tank has the butting surface that extends along its side face, elastic sealing ring be positioned at this butting surface below, flat plate heating element is subjected to the pushing to internal tank, make its outer rim that the sealing ring compression is fitted on the interface, the back-up ring of an opening makes the heating element heater fix in position.
As following reference example expressivity embodiment explanation, interface or can form integral body with container, perhaps can be designed to the independent parts that can insert container, under latter event, sealing ring also can be configured to seal the joint portion of joint unit and container inner wall and the joint portion of heated sealed element and joint unit.In addition, the permanent opening back-up ring can be with an one component configuration in internal tank or outside, and these parts are suitable for passing the hole on the chamber wall, and stretch into internal tank, so that the heating element heater fix in position.
According to another aspect of the present invention, provide a kind of its outer rim to have the flat plate heating element of stairstepping member, in element was contained in heating vessel, this trapezoid part formed the receiving channel around heating element heater during portion, and this groove is suitable for caloric restriction and flows to chamber wall from element.

The specific embodiment
Fig. 2 A and 2B illustrate hot water tank 1 and first embodiment of the invention be used for non-immersion bottom surface fixing and be sealed in device on the container 1 for dull and stereotyped heating element heater 2.Container 1 is previously described the sort of container, and its top diameter is less than its base diameter.Said vesse is the container part of no cable electric water heater, this utensil also comprises base device, as everyone knows, this base device is used for from power supply to this utensil power supply, the electric connection of coupling is set on container part and base device, when container part correctly was fixed on the base device, these joints just can be to 2 power supplies of container heating element heater.
Flat plate heating element 2 is elements of the above-mentioned type, and it comprises aluminium sheet, this aluminium sheet have suitably add be connected to or rivet clasp in the sheathed heating element of its lower surface.Specifically, flat plate heating element 2 has the ladder member 3 that forms on its outer rim, and this member has inward flange 4 and outward flange 5.When element 2 was assembled on the container 1, this inward flange 4 formed around the groove 7 of heating middle body 8 outer rims of element 2 with the wall 6 of container 1.In some cases, groove 7 keeps water and has reduced the possibility of the cause thermal damage plastic containers moulded parts that element 2 produces.
Outward flange 5 has vertical plane 9 and the very short horizontal component 10 in its end.Seal 11 usefulness elastic caoutchoucs are made, and it centers on the outer peripheral face of flat plate heating element 2 and is fitted on its vertical plane 9.The interior diameter lock ring of seal 11 makes can keep sealing to element 2 at assembly process on the outward flange 5 of (being stretched) element 2.Horizontal protuberance 10 is positioned in the complementary groove 12 of seal 11, further to fix and positioning seals 11.
The overall diameter of seal 11 has three annular fins 13, and in the time of on being loaded on container 1, this fin is being pressed the inner sealing surface 14 of chamber wall 6.This fin 13 is very thin, and this fin is enough to take place deformation when element 2 is contained on the container 1, but this fin has sufficient rigidity and elasticity again, is enough to still be close to sealing surface 14 at the sealing surface of any chamber wall 6 that for example causes because of variations in temperature between 14 moving periods.The length of each fin 13 is enough to form sealed engagement in the gamut of predetermined tolerance variation and warm-up movement.When for example the lower area diameter of container 1 was 150mm, the radical length of each fin 13 was 3mm.For the rubber seal with 3-6 fin of hardness Shore A at 40-60, the fin axial width of about 0.5-1.0mm can form enough rigidity and elasticity.Though present embodiment has illustrated three fins 13, certainly form the fin of any number, from a fin to many fins.And the size of each fin can regulate, with the sealing characteristics that obtains to require.
The about 4mm of its thickness of chamber wall in seal 11 zones is vertical substantially, has minimum draft angle.With position that element upper surface 15 design attitudes flush on, around the inner surface 14 of chamber wall 6, molded 6 vertical diametral ribs 16.These diametral ribs 16 have minimum thickness, and this thickness is consistent with the plasticity of container 1, make can avoid the sink mark that causes because of inhomogeneous contraction occurring at outside of containers when moulded parts cools off.The design of this member on plastic mould is known.The adherence to standard design specification just can avoid causing the rapid changing unit of this sink mark, and this point is no longer statement herein, because be known for the technical staff.The basal surface 17 of these diametral ribs 16 constitutes bearing-surfaces, and element 2 is urged on this bearing-surface this rib 16 also forms element 2 when bottom part is installed temporary position when being contained on the container 1.
The inner circular support ring 18 that is called back-up ring is subsequently pasting basal surface 19 configurations of seal 11, so that when assembling element 2 and seal 11 are fixed on the container 1.On the wall 6 of container 1, on corresponding to the position of back-up ring 18 positions, form 6 along the isolated molded notch 20 of side face, so that element 2 and seal 11 are fixed on the container.The upright position of notch 20 is to make can to make seal 11 be subjected to vertical compression a little after loading onto back-up ring 18 on chamber wall 6.Molded notch 20 usefulness outer mold parts (not shown) separately forms, and the mold component that does not need fully to be difficult to or price is high for example is used to form the slip heart of this notch structure.Back-up ring 18 has; Six outer rim protuberances 21, when back-up ring 18 ejections were in place, this protuberance just was positioned in the notch 20, thus back-up ring is locked on the chamber wall 6, forms the supporting member of element 2 and seal 11.The notch 20 that puts on this back-up ring 18 and its chamber wall 6 clearly is shown in Fig. 3.
The plastic components that back-up ring 18 is preferably molded, but can be the metal stamping parts also, be designed to not only have the elasticity of compression but also have the rigidity that can guarantee fixed property.Back-up ring 18 generally is circular, has circumference/reduced parts 22.Forming these parts is to make back-up ring 18 to be compressed, and causes the interior diameter of the overall diameter of back-up ring protuberance 21 less than the container 1 in notch 20 zones.Must make back-up ring 18 keep level states when carrying out this compression, like this, protuberance 21 just is in the same plane, and can enter notch 20.
Fig. 3 illustrates heating element heater 2 is contained in exploded view on the container 1, illustrate what be connected in element 2 middle body downsides is element protection control piece 25, this control piece in the temperature of element just in case be raised to certain and limit safely and can cut off the electricity supply when above; This element protection control piece is the X type control piece that we make, and is essentially GB-A-228 3156 according to the described control piece of its Fig. 1.What another was fixed on heating element heater 2 downsides is the container joint insertion portion 26 of no cable connected system, and this insertion portion for example is essentially W0-A-9406158 according to the described insertion portion of its Fig. 7-11.The method that makes element protection control piece 25 and joint insertion portion 26 method fixed to one another and be fixed in heating element heater 2 we patent GB-A-2307602 and GB-A-2306801 in illustrate.
Element protection control piece 25 and joint insertion portion 26 are connected in element 2 and are connected to each other by being connected support 27.Seal is fixed on the outward flange 6 of element 2, and this sub-assembly is put into container 1, make its basal surface that presses diametral rib 16 17.Then back-up ring is put into container 1 with the state of compression, unclamp then, make it enter notch 20, thereby this assembly is locked on the container 1.Subsequently utensil bottom moulded parts 28 usefulness construction bolts 29 are fixed in and connect support 27.Because this assembly is separately with the bolting that is screwed into control piece and joint mounting bracket 27, so this utensil of disassemble simply of after repairing or damaging, classifying when reclaiming.
The top edge of bottom moulded parts 28 its outer rim flanges 30 has thin vertical lug 31.Notch 20 during assembling on these protuberance 31 topped chamber walls 6 is to form good-looking outward appearance.The lower part 32 of chamber wall 6 is done thinlyyer, makes bottom moulded parts 28 to put in concordant mode, shown in Fig. 2 A and 2B.The top edge 33 of the major part (thick) of bottom moulded parts peripheral edge portion is configured to head on the lower limb 36 of chamber wall 6.When tightening screw 29, when making bottom moulded parts 28 be fixed in mounting bracket 27, just element 2 is moved to downwards on the back-up ring 18, so the basal surface 19 of compressive seal 11, and downwards back-up ring 18 is moved on the bottom of notch 20.
When element 2 was pushed into container 1, the fin 13 of seal 11 was taked downward-sloping attitude.Bottom moulded parts 28 is being tightened when being installed on the support 27, this element 2 moves down again a little, because the frictional force of fin 13 and its are downward-sloping, so this fin 13 can not to lower slider, be forced to thus be pressed on the chamber wall 6 with moving of element.This motion has strengthened the reliability of sealing device.
Below with reference to Fig. 4,5A and 5D, the heating vessel 1 of second embodiment of the invention shown in the figure and the various views that are used for flat plate heating element 2 is fixed and is sealed in the device of container 1.Second embodiment is similar to first aspect a lot of and implements, and for avoiding unnecessary repetition, below difference only is described.Identical Ref. No. is used for being illustrated in the first and second two same parts that embodiment all has.
In a second embodiment, flat plate heating element 2 is fixed on the mounting flange 35 to be similar to the described mode of UK Patent Application No.9614872.1.Specifically with reference to figure 4, heating element heater 2 has the flange outer rim 36 that forms hole 37 on it, and hold-down screw 38 passes this hole, is fixed in the installation protuberance 39 that forms on the mounting flange 35.Gasket seal 40 is contained between element 2 and the mounting flange 35, is used to seal the mechanical interface between them.
Below with reference to Fig. 5 A and 5B that the container of having assembled shown in Figure 4 is shown, the diameter of heating element heater has fully less than the flange outer rim 36 of the diameter of the first embodiment element 2, element 2 that big being convenient to fixedly mounts the size of flange 35, but does not extend to the chamber wall 6 of direct connection seal 11.On the contrary, mounting flange 35 is fixed on along in the groove 7 of element outer rim 36, and has outward flange 41, and this outward flange has vertical plane 42 and is used to fixedly positioning the horizontal protuberance 43 of seal 11.Its diameter of sub-assembly of the mounting flange 35 of second embodiment and element 2 is identical with the diameter of the first embodiment element 2.
Second embodiment can make element manufacturer produce the element of fixed diameter easily, and this element adopts the mounting flange 35 of appropriate size can be contained in the container 1 of each size.
Illustrate as Fig. 5 A-5C is clear, different with first embodiment, the sub-assembly of mounting flange 35 and element 2 forms the flat fully inner bottom surface 44 of container 1.This forms better aesthetic property, this has more attraction to some clients than the inner surface of the stairstepping of the first embodiment container.If mounting flange 35 comprises heat-insulating material, reducing of can obtaining still then that groove 7 the has heat that element 2 produces is to this advantage that influences of chamber wall 6.
Below with reference to Fig. 6 A, this perspective view illustrates the mounting flange 35 and the seal 11 of above-mentioned integral body.This device also comprises the L shaped seal 50 of one.The sealing part is as the stand of heating element heater 2 (not shown).The size of heating element heater 2 can be decided to be to be specially with the top of L shaped seal 50 with L shaped seal 50 and forms interference fit, and can be pressed downward to the bottom of L shaped seal, thus the seal integrity when guaranteeing that heating element heater 2 is packed in the container.Seal 11 and 50 usefulness elastomeric materials are made, and the thermoplastic of mounting flange 35 usefulness rigidity is made.
Fig. 7 A and 7B illustrate third embodiment of the invention, in this embodiment, level and smooth elastomeric seal ring cramping is between the upper and lower sealed mould product of doing with rigid thermoplastic could, the elastomeric seal hoop extends through the outer rim that is placed on the top upper and lower sealed mould product with same overall diameter outward, and inwardly extends through the inner edge of its internal diameter greater than the top seal moulded parts of lower seal moulded parts internal diameter.This flat plate heating element is configured in the upper seal that is contained in the elastic sealing ring top.
Among Fig. 7 A; flat plate heating element 55 is illustrated as thick-film heating element; this element is included in and promptly covers the resistive heating track that one deck for example forms on the corrosion resistant plate of glass dielectric layer in the electrically insulating substrate, and this flat plate heating element 55 has fixing heating element heater excessive temperature protection controller 56 and power supply input adapter 57.The annular elastomeric sealing ring 58 that is cut into from for example sheet material or band by cramping between top seal moulded parts 59 and lower seal moulded parts 60, on sealed mould product 59 and 60 configuration can make they and cramping elastomeric seal ring 58 secure seal the fixed part 61 that is fixed together, upper and lower part sealed mould product 59 and 60 has same external diameter as shown in the figure, and elastomeric seal ring 58 surpasses this overall diameter, so that can fit chamber wall 6 in container that heating element heater and black box are packed into the time hermetically.Yet upper and lower sealed mould product 59 is different with 60 interior diameter, thereby elastomeric seal ring 58 exposes at the top of lower seal moulded parts 60, so that the downside of the heating element heater 55 of fitting hermetically.
Embodiment is the same with the front, and heating element heater and black box are configured to utilize back-up ring 62 to be fixed in the container, this back-up ring have be suitable for appliance body on the chimeric member 63 of the notch that forms 64.
