Description

Electric heater for heating {A electrical heater for heating}

The present invention relates to an electric heater for heating, and more particularly, to a heating electric heater having an improved structure so that one heating electric heater can be separated into a plurality of electric heaters.

Electric heaters for heating generally belong to a heating device, and are used to increase the temperature of indoor air, especially in the home or factory in winter.

The heating electric heater is made of a heating element installed in one case to convert the electrical energy into thermal energy to increase the ambient temperature. This heating element is generally formed by winding a material having a high electric resistance such as iron nickel, nichrome and the like into a constant shape. The back of the case is provided with electric wires for supplying electricity to the heating element by receiving electricity from an outlet formed in the wall. This heating element is controlled by a control unit installed in the case. When electricity is supplied to the heating element from the wall outlet through the electric wire, the heat generated from the heating element is released to the outside through the opening of the case to increase the ambient temperature, the user can control the room temperature by operating the control unit have.

However, the conventional heating electric heater is provided with a heating element in one case, there is an inconvenience that can not be used at the same time in another place when used in one place. If you want to use it at the same time in different places, you have to use several electric heaters, but this is not economically desirable. On the other hand, heating electric heaters rotated between certain angles have also been recently manufactured, but the rotation angle is limited, and thus there is a problem that it is not appropriate to simultaneously heat several places in a range outside the rotation angle.

The present invention is devised to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric heater for heating with improved structure so that one heating electric heater can be used separately from several electric heaters.
