Preferred embodiment describes in detail
Below, will be described in detail according to a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 3 is the decomposition view of PTC lever apparatus in the first embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 4-the 6th shows the perspective view of the terminal manufacture process of electrode terminal among first embodiment successively.
As shown in Figure 3, the PTC lever apparatus 1000 according to first embodiment of the invention comprises: the cross section be flute profile and a PTC bar 100 with predetermined length and and a PTC bar 100 have equal length and and a PTC bar be coupled so that cover the 2nd PTC bar of a PTC bar peristome.
Simultaneously, when first, second PTC bar 100,200 was coupled each other, just having formed the cross section therebetween was the space 110 of rectangle, was receiving electrode terminal 300, insulator 400, PTC element 500 and heat in this space content and was transmitting piece 600.
The length of electrode terminal 300 is greater than the length of first, second PTC bar 100,200.Front end at electrode terminal is formed with terminal 310, in electrode terminal with the predetermined through hole 320 that is interval with.Terminal 310 is outstanding to the outside of first, second PTC bar 100,200 front ends with the form of crank.The front end width that electrode terminal 300 is forming terminal 310 is greater than the pars intermedia width of electrode terminal.Shown in Fig. 4-6, the upper and lower sides of electrode terminal front end is all to invagination, and the folded end of electrode terminal bends to the form of crank, thereby forms above-mentioned terminal 310.
As above the thickness of the terminal 310 of Gou Chenging is the twice of electrode terminal 310 pars intermedia thickness, and the intensity of terminal 310 is increased.Therefore in above-mentioned terminal advantageously, delivered current when terminal links to each other with connector or housing more stably.
Here, the through hole 320 that forms on the electrode terminal 300 is used for by two injection moulding processing insulator 400 being fixed on electrode terminal 300.At interval two through holes of being perpendicular to one another constitute a pair of, electrode terminal 300 vertically on be provided with many with predetermined interval to through hole.And through hole 320 can be set in the mode of long and narrow hole, thus the bonding force between electrode terminal 300 and the insulator 400 increased, and add and be beneficial to flowing and spraying of injected plastics material man-hour carrying out two injection mouldings.
Between numerous through holes 320, on the side of terminal 310, form a through hole 322, have the shape that is different from other through holes, be quadrangle.This through hole 322 can minimize the bonding force between electrode terminal 300 and the insulator 400.
Fig. 7 shows the perspective view of the side that insulator and electrode terminal are coupled among first embodiment, Fig. 8 shows the perspective view of another side that insulator and electrode terminal are coupled among first embodiment, and Fig. 9,10 is respectively insulator and the electrode terminal cutaway view along Fig. 4 center line A-A and line B-B.
As shown in these figures, insulator 400 is used to prevent that electrode terminal 300 and first, second PTC bar 100,200 from contacting, but also can prevent dust and other external substances from dropping into first, second PTC bar 100,200 couplings and in the space 110 that forms.
As mentioned above, insulator 400 and electrode terminal 300 couple by two injection moulding processing, form enlarging section 432,434 respectively on the longitudinal end of insulator 400.In pairs enlarging section 432,434 closely contacts with first, second PTC bar 100,200 and couples mutually with their outer surface of two longitudinal ends, thereby guides the position that couples of first, second PTC bar 100,200.
Therefore, electrode terminal 300 just couples mutually with first, second PTC bar 100,200, thereby makes electrode terminal at a distance of the spaced apart certain distance of first, second PTC bar inner surface.At this moment, on two surfaces of each enlarging section 432,434, will form passage 442,444.To be described in detail afterwards.
At this moment, passage 446 forms near the upper and lower end parts of first supporting member 442, and passage 448 is formed between paired second supporting member 424.In other words, first supporting member 422 forms to such an extent that make the upper and lower end parts and 410 alternate the separating of connector of first supporting member, so has just formed passage 446 between the upper and lower end parts of first supporting member and the connector.Second supporting member 424 forms to such an extent that can be vertically extend and passage 448 is formed between paired second supporting member from connector 410.Narration is arranged on the passage 446,448 on first, second supporting member 422,424 below.
Therefore, the couple state between insulator 400 and the electrode terminal 300 can not discharge, unless insulator passes the partial rupture of through hole 320.And because first supporting member 422 and paired supporting member 424 are connected with each other by long through-hole 320, and favourable is exactly to be easy to spray injected plastics material, the length of supporting member is less than the length of supporting member commonly used, so the shape of injection moulding is more accurate.
And PTC element 500 transmits piece 600 with heat and links to each other with two faces of insulator 400 respectively, promptly is connected between adjacent first supporting member 422 and is connected between adjacent paired second supporting member 424.PTC element 500 and heat transmit piece 600 just and electrode terminal 300 contact.
At this moment, transmit the coupling position of piece 600 and replace each other in order to prevent PTC element 500 and heat, connector 410 forms to such an extent that the vertical width of 300 two surperficial exposed portions serve of electrode terminal is differed from one another.In other words, the width of placement PTC element 500 parts is different with the width of placing heat transmission piece 600 parts.Therefore, the coupling position between PTC element 500 and the heat transmission piece 600 just can not replace each other.
In this embodiment, as shown in figure 10, be formed with a step on insulator 400 inner surfaces, the width that makes electrode terminal exposed portions serve on 400 1 surfaces of insulator promptly place heat transmission piece position is less than the width of electrode terminal exposed portions serve on another surface of insulator.But this only is schematic purpose, can also carry out opposite setting according to user's selection.
The passage 442-448 that is provided with on first, second supporting member 422,424 of enlarging section 432,434 and insulator 400 is used at heat when PTC element 500 produces, and electrode terminal 300, PTC element 500 and heat is transmitted the gas that piece 600 produces be discharged to the external world.Above-mentioned passage have by insulator 400 vertically on paired first, second supporting member 422,424 formed intervals adjacent one another are, thereby and the external world link.That is the passage 442,444 of the passage 446,448 that is provided with on via first, second supporting member 422,424 of the gas that in the space that first, second supporting member 422,424 forms, is produced and enlarging section 432,434 and be discharged to the external world.With regard to said structure, can prevent to make connector 410 distortion because of gas.
Figure 11 is the decomposition view of PTC lever apparatus in the second embodiment of the invention, Figure 12 shows the perspective view of the side that insulator and electrode terminal are coupled among second embodiment, and Figure 13 shows the perspective view of another side that insulator and electrode terminal are coupled among second embodiment.
Shown in Figure 11-13, comprise according to the PTC lever apparatus 1000 of second embodiment of the invention: the cross section be flute profile and a PTC bar 100 and a PTC bar 100 with predetermined length have equal length and and a PTC bar be coupled and transmit piece 600 so that cover the 2nd PTC bar, electrode terminal 300, insulator 400, PTC lever apparatus 500 and the heat of a PTC bar peristome.
As mentioned above, identical with PTC lever apparatus structure according to first embodiment according to the structure of the PTC lever apparatus of second embodiment, the shape of the enlarging section 432,434 that forms on the longitudinal end of insulator 400 only in a second embodiment is different among first embodiment.Therefore, in the narration process of second embodiment, only narration is different from the insulator enlarging section among first embodiment.
In enlarging section 432,434, first enlarging section 432 that the terminal 310 of close electrode terminal 300 forms has the opening surface that exposes electrode terminal 300 1 sides.At this moment, form fixing hole 324 on corresponding to the part of first enlarging section 432, on the surface of first enlarging section 432, forming fixed projection 326, thereby this fixed projection can pass through fixing hole 324 corresponding to this fixing hole at electrode terminal 300.Said fixing projection 326 enters fixing hole 324 and is mated, thereby first enlarging section and electrode terminal 300 are connected together each other.
Simultaneously, in enlarging section 432,434, second enlarging section 434 that forms in relative first enlarging section 432 of opposite side has identical cross section with first, second PTC bar 100,200 that links to each other.Therefore, because the rear end of first, second PTC bar 100,200 is airtight by second enlarging section 434, contact and initiation fire so just can prevent that dust or external substance from entering with PTC element 599 via the rear end of PTC lever apparatus 1000.
Figure 14 is the decomposition view of PTC lever apparatus in the third embodiment of the invention.
As shown in figure 14, in the PTC lever apparatus 100 according to the 3rd embodiment, each first supporting member 422 all removably couples with second supporting member 424 of insulator 400, and electrode terminal 300 can be assembled with insulator 400.
At this moment, each first supporting member 422 all forms the connecting hole 426 corresponding to the through hole 320 of electrode terminal 300, and each second supporting member 424 all forms a connection projection 428 that is engaged in via through hole 320 in the connecting hole 426.Although in this embodiment, on first supporting member 422, form connecting hole 426, on second supporting member 424, form connection projection 428, also can exchange each other and form above-mentioned connecting hole 426 and the position that is connected projection 428 according to user's selection.
If as mentioned above, first, second supporting member 422,424 removably is connected to each other, and then above-mentioned electrode terminal 300 and insulator 400 can be made separately.And because the coupling device that discharges between insulator 400 and the electrode terminal 300 can not damage insulator 400, so advantageously be easy to safeguard.
Figure 15 is the decomposition view of automobile-used preheater among the present invention, and Figure 16-18 shows the PTC element of PTC lever apparatus in the automobile-used preheater of the present invention and the decomposition view that heat is transmitted the coupling position of piece.
As shown in figure 15, automobile-used preheater according to the present invention comprises: a plurality of PTC lever apparatus 1000A-1000C that vertically are being set parallel to each other; The fin 2000 that contacts and be coupled with the both sides of each PTC lever apparatus 1000A-1000C; Each all is placed on the cathode terminal 3000 between the adjacent fin 2000; The pair of frames 4000,5000 that is coupled with the lateral surface of outermost fin 2000 respectively; And first, second housing 6000,7000 that links to each other with vertical two ends of PTC lever apparatus 1000A-1000C, fin 2000, cathode terminal 3000, framework 4000,5000 combinations respectively.
At this moment, the heat that the PTC element of installing in the PTC lever apparatus 1000A-1000C (500 among Fig. 3) is produced just is passed in the fin 200, thereby heating is via the air of fin 2000.
If automobile-used preheater construct PTC element (500 among Fig. 3) is produced heat be not delivered to the external world, be arranged on the inner fin 200 but only be delivered to, so just can improve the efficient of preheater.Therefore, as shown in figure 17, PTC element 500A and preheater 600A alternately are installed on two surfaces of the PTC lever apparatus 1000A on the centre position, and heat can be transmitted equably in the horizontal.In addition, shown in Figure 16,18, PTC element 500B and 500C are installed on the surface of PTC lever apparatus 1000B, 1000C, towards the inside of automobile-used preheater, heat is transmitted piece 600B, 600C and is installed on the surface of PTC lever apparatus 1000B, 1000C, towards the outside of automobile-used preheater.
At this moment, diffuse to the external world via housing 6000,7000, preferably with PTC element 5000A-5000C and housing 6000,7000 spaced apart predetermined distances in order to prevent heat.
But the coupling position that PTC element 500A-500C and heat are transmitted piece 600A-600C is not limited thereto, and can also change according to user's selection.
On the other hand, for the heat that prevents to be delivered on the fin 2000 diffuses to the external world via framework 4000,5000, strengthening groove 4200,5200 can vertically be set, so that minimize the contact area between each framework 4000,5000 and the corresponding fin 2000 on the contact-making surface of framework 4000,5000 and fin 2000.
As mentioned above, when forming strengthening groove 4200,5200, the contact area between each framework 4000,5000 and the fin 2000 just has been reduced, thereby has reduced heet transfer rate.Simultaneously because strengthening groove 4200,5200 inside have been full of air, some heats in the fin 2000 just via transfer of air to framework 4000,5000.But, because air has very low heet transfer rate, so almost can ignore via the heat of transfer of air.
Therefore, among the present invention used framework 4000,5000 form above-mentioned surface is contacted with fin 2000 pars intermedia slope inwardly outstanding towards corresponding fin 2000.Compare with the framework that tradition is straight, the pressure that produces even bear that PTC lever apparatus 1000A-1000C and fin 2000 expands, the inwardly outstanding said frame 4000,5000 of pars intermedia is also outwards protruded seldom.And because strengthening groove 4200,5200 is used as the floor that prevents that middle frame 4000,5000 of the present invention from outwards protruding, advantageously these frameworks can be out of shape because of external force hardly.
And although extra cathode terminal 3000 is being set between the fin in the present embodiment 2000, framework 4000,5000 also can not need cathode terminal 3000 to carry out the function of this cathode terminal 3000.When framework 4000,5000 during as cathode terminal 3000, advantage is exactly to simplify the internal structure of above-mentioned automobile-used preheater, reduces cost.
The two sides coupling of fin 2000 and each PTC lever apparatus 1000A-1000C.Because the heat that the heat of the PTC lever apparatus one side generation of PTC element will be higher than the opposite side generation that heat transmission piece is installed is installed, so being equipped with on that side of PTC element, the PTC lever apparatus laterally piling a plurality of fin 2000, and the quantity of fin 2000 is less than the quantity of the fin 2000 that links to each other with PTC lever apparatus one side that the PTC element is installed, and this fin links to each other with the above-mentioned PTC lever apparatus opposite side that the PTC element is not installed.In this embodiment, two fin 2000 link to each other with PTC lever apparatus one side that the PTC element is installed, and a fin 2000 links to each other with the PTC lever apparatus opposite side that heat transmission piece is installed.But the quantity of the fin 2000 that links to each other with each PTC lever apparatus 1000A-1000C side is not limited to this, also can change according to user's selection.
Figure 19 shows the couple state of PTC lever apparatus and first housing in the automobile-used preheater of the present invention.
Transmit piece according to PTC element among each PTC lever apparatus 1000A-1000C of automobile-used preheater of the present invention and heat and have different positions.Therefore, if the PTC lever apparatus links to each other with first housing 6000 at diverse location, will produce some problems, for example the efficient of preheater reduces or preheater is out of control.
