Technical field
A kind of relevant heat radiating structure and the method that prevents that line with heating function is overheated of the present invention, it is espespecially a kind of when heater wire produces abnormal high temperature or switch damage, can interrupt the AC power stopped heating, to guarantee to use safety, be applicable to the electro-heat equipments such as electric blanket, hot compress pad and use.
Background technology
Electro-heat equipment such as hot compress pad is being used at present on the market widely, and allow heater wire heating after being heated to the temperature that the user sets automatically interrupt, can allow electro-heat equipment remain in predetermined heated perimeter, so that the function such as hot compress to be provided, and guarantee to use safety.
In order effectively to reach the effect of temperature control, the U.S. the 5th, 861, No. 610 Patent Cases are with positive temperature coefficient (Positive Temperature Coefficient, PTC) element is as detection line, and with the variation of sensing temperature, and the heater wire of arranging in pairs or groups simultaneously is to carry out the temperature control heating.Above-mentioned technology is disclosed in the U.S. the 6th, 300, No. 597, the 6th, 310, No. 322 and No. 6768086 Patent Case simultaneously.And another U.S. the 7th, 180, No. 037 Patent Cases are after continuing to measure the phase shift time of different zero cross signals by time difference determiner circuit, then are continued computing and exported control signal by processor, trigger the conducting of a switch with control triggering electric circuit, make the effect that reaches the constant temperature heating.
Just, the processor of above-mentioned each temperature-adjusting circuit just by the output of stop control signal, continues trigger switch to stop circuits for triggering, thereby the temperature of heater wire is descended after heater wire heats a period of time extremely.Therefore, be short-circuit condition when switch damages, and when allowing the heater wire continuous heating, although stop processor output control signal, still can't stopped heating, thus, with the danger that causes in use.
In view of this, in order to improve above-mentioned shortcoming, make heat radiating structure and the fast reaction of method energy that can prevent that line with heating function is overheated, and can be when heater wire produces abnormal high temperature or switch short circuit, can effectively interrupt heating line, to guarantee to use safety, long-pending experience and the constantly research and development improvement for many years of inventor has generation of the present invention then.

See also shown in Fig. 1,2, it can prevent the first embodiment of the overheated heat radiating structure of line with heating function 1 for the present invention, comprises a line with heating function 2, a switch 3, an overflow protecting element 4, circuits for triggering 5, a processor 6 and a capacitor C.Wherein, this line with heating function 2 can be for being arranged in the electro-heat equipments such as electrothermal furnace, hot compress pad, with the element as heating.
This line with heating function 2 comprises a core 21, a heater wire 22, a sense wire 23, insulation meltable layer 24 and a coating layer 25.Heater wire 22 is wound in the outer peripheral edges of core 21, insulation meltable layer 24 is polyethylene (PE) material, for the outer peripheral edges that are coated on heater wire 22 and core 21, during enforcement, insulation meltable layer 24 also can be other and has insulating property (properties), and the material that can melt under specific high temperature.This sense wire 23 is positive temperature coefficient (Positive Temperature Coefficient, PTC) wire, and this sense wire 23 is wound in the outer peripheral edges of insulation meltable layer 24, so that the insulation meltable layer 24 between heater wire 22 and sense wire 23, and coating layer 25 be coated on sense wire 23 and the insulation meltable layer 24 outer peripheral edges.
This heater wire 22 has a first end 221 and is in reverse to the second end 222 of this first end 221, first utmost point 91 of the first end 221 coupling AC power 9 of heater wire 22, the second end 222 of heater wire 22 connects a main side of a bidirectional thyristor (TRIAC), this bidirectional thyristor is as switch 3, and second utmost point 92 of another main side coupling AC power 9 of this bidirectional thyristor, this first and second utmost point (91,92) is the opposite utmost point, so as to heater wire 22, switch 3 are connected with AC power 9, formation can be heated a loop of heater wire 22.
This overflow protecting element 4 is high molecular positive temp thermistor (Polyer Positive Temperature Coefficent; PPTC), described overflow protecting element 4 also can be ceramic positive temperature thermistor (Ceramic PTC) or other can be at element or the circuit of interrupt circuit under over-current state with protective circuit.First utmost point 91 of one end coupling AC power 9 of this overflow protecting element 4, the first end 221 of the other end coupling heater wire 22 of overflow protecting element 4 is provided with first node P1 between the first end 221 of heater wire 22 and overflow protecting element 4.And this sense wire 23 has a first end 231 and be in reverse to the second end 232 of this first end 231, the first end 231 of sense wire 23 is coupled on first node P1, the second end 232 of sense wire 23 is connected with an end of capacitor C, the other end ground connection of capacitor C, and be provided with Section Point P2 between the second end 232 of this sense wire 23 and electric capacity, this Section Point P2 connects processor 6.
