  • the heater-side inclined surface 462 and the first gap-side inclined surface 463 are not limited to being formed as smooth inclined surfaces as in the present embodiment.
  • the heater-side inclined surface 462 and the first gap-portion-side inclined surface 463 may have a shape that widens the interval with respect to the second seal surface 531.
  • the heater-side inclined surface 462 and the first gap-side inclined surface 463 may be formed as curved surfaces.
  • the heater-side inclined surface 462 and the first gap-side inclined surface 463 are not limited to being formed with respect to the first seal surface 461. Either one of the heater-side inclined surface 462 and the first gap-side inclined surface 463 may be formed with respect to the first seal surface 461, or both may not be formed.

  • the insertion space joint portion S2 of the second embodiment does not have the first gap side separation surface and the second gap portion side separation surface. It is not limited to such a shape. Therefore, in the insertion space joining portion S2 as well, similarly to the cross-sectional shape of the inner joining portion S1, a first gap side separation surface, a second gap portion separation surface, and the like may be formed.
  • the heating medium heating device is not limited to a structure having only one of the inner joint portion S1 of the first embodiment and the insertion space joint portion S2 of the second embodiment. In the heat medium heating device, both the inner joint portion S1 and the insertion space joint portion S2 may be formed.
  • the sealing with the liquid gasket can be performed more reliably, and the contact between the heat medium and the PTC heater can be suppressed.

Abstract

Le dispositif de chauffage de milieu chauffant selon la présente invention comprend un joint interne (S1) qui assemble des éléments, adjacents dans la direction de l'épaisseur traversante (Z), les uns aux autres de manière à diviser un premier trajet d'écoulement de milieu chauffant (48) et un second trajet d'écoulement de milieu chauffant (56) à partir d'autres espaces à l'intérieur d'un boîtier. Le joint interne (S1) comprend un espace (100) qui divise un joint périphérique externe du dispositif de chauffage (J1) comprenant un joint d'étanchéité liquide (32A) à partir d'un joint périphérique externe de partie de liaison (J2) comprenant un joint d'étanchéité liquide (32B) disposé au niveau d'une position plus éloignée du premier trajet d'écoulement de milieu chauffant (48) et du second trajet d'écoulement de milieu chauffant (56) que le joint périphérique externe du dispositif de chauffage (J1).
