Description

An immersion heater capable of preventing a safety accident

The present invention relates to an underwater heater, and more particularly, it relates to an underwater heater which is capable of preventing the installation member from being damaged by blocking the temperature of a heating tube directly transmitted to an installation member through a separation plate provided on an outer surface of the heating tube, And a plurality of body members provided with a plurality of heating tubes in the body, wherein each of the body members is detachably attachable to the body through a mounting plate, The present invention relates to an underwater heater capable of preventing a safety accident by cutting off power applied to a heating tube when a short circuit occurs.

For example, a water tank, which is a water tank, generally has a water tank for storing live fish so that live fish can be temporarily stored. For example, a water tank must be kept constant so that the living environment of the live fish can be maintained at a good quality. So that the water in the water tank is maintained at a temperature within the set range. (See Fig. 1)

A general structure of the above-mentioned underwater heater will be briefly described. The heat pipe includes a heat generating tube 130 for generating heat and a control unit for controlling the operation of the heat generating tube. And is connected to the control unit. In the vicinity of the heating tube, a sensor for sensing the temperature of the water or the temperature of the heating tube is provided. A rod 140 is installed.

A power line and a sensor line for current and signal transmission are connected to the heat generating tube 130 and the sensor rod 140. Water is introduced through a portion where the power line and the sensor line are inserted, . Therefore, in the conventional underwater heater, the portion where the power supply line and the sensor line are inserted must be located above the water surface, which has a disadvantage in that there is a limit in utilization. In order to solve such a problem, there has been proposed a method of sealing a portion where a power line and a sensor line are inserted by using a silicone or a packing. However, in the proposed sealing method, It is difficult to completely prevent the heat generated by the heater and the silicon which is hardened to cover the cable portion connected to the heating tube and the sensor rod, as in the prior art, which is the 'underwater heater and its manufacturing method' of Korean Patent No. 10-1508724 So that the problem of water inflow is solved.

However, in a conventional underwater heater equipped with silicone so as to be cured with a time difference, the outer surface of the heat generating tube having a predetermined length is inclined by the center of gravity when installed in the water tank so as to maintain the water temperature, There is a problem that cracks are applied to the water tank due to heat and safety accidents occur (refer to FIG. 2).

Further, when a large number of submerged heaters are installed in the water tank, there is no separate fixing structure, so that the heat pipes can come into contact with each other due to the movement of the water tank or the water flow in the water tank, There was a problem that a safety accident could occur.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to prevent occurrence of a safety accident by preventing contact between a heating tube and an installation member when an underwater heater is installed in an installation member such as a water tank.

Another object of the present invention is to prevent the occurrence of safety accidents by preventing the heating tubes provided in the respective submerged heaters from touching each other and colliding with each other when a plurality of submerged heaters are installed in the installation member.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an underwater heater capable of preventing a safety accident, the body including a body member, a silicon member cured to a plurality of layers with a time difference within the body member, And a heat generating tube inserted and fixed by the cured silicone to adjust the water temperature of the water contained in the installation member, wherein the body member is formed in a tubular shape, And a spacing plate which is inserted through the heating tube and separates the outer surface of the heating tube so as not to directly contact the installation member.

The spacing plate may be formed in a circular plate shape having a square or a predetermined diameter, and may include at least one through-hole through which the heating tube is inserted, or a heating tube It is preferable that at least one of the auxiliary through holes is perforated.

In addition, the body member may include a mounting plate on which at least two bodies are installed, and the mounting plate may be formed in a circular plate shape having a square or a predetermined diameter, and an engaging hole that is threadably engaged with the body may be formed .

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the installation member from being damaged by interrupting the temperature of the heat generating tube which is directly transmitted to the installation member through the separating plate provided on the outer surface of the heat generating tube, differently from the conventional one.

The present invention also has the effect that the body member can be installed in the water through a mounting plate capable of detachably connecting the body members when a plurality of body members having a plurality of heating tubes are provided in the mounting member differently from conventional ones.

Also, it has an effect of preventing a safety accident by cutting off the power applied to the heat-generating tube when the heat-generating tube is overheated or a short circuit occurs in the water through a temperature sensor or a fuse differently from the conventional case.

At this time, the body 111 is formed so that the upper and lower portions have different outer diameters so that the step 112 can be formed on the outer surface, so that the body 111 serves as a stopper when the body 111 is inserted into a mounting plate 116 It is preferable to facilitate bonding.

In addition, the body 111 coupled with the mounting plate 116 may be screwed to facilitate attachment and detachment, but it may be fixed by welding or the like if necessary. The open upper or lower portion of the body 111 may be a separate Cap to prevent it from entering the hardened silicon.

6, the separating plate 113 is formed to have a rectangular or circular plate shape as a whole and is inserted through the outer surface of the heat generating tube 130 so that the mounting member 200 is directly connected to the heat generating tube 130 .

That is, the object of installation of the underwater heater 100 according to the present invention is that the water temperature of the water accommodated in the installation member 200 forming the limited space such as an aquarium or a fish tank is controlled by the control unit 120, ), And the exothermic temperature is controlled by controlling the water temperature by heating to a high temperature of several tens to hundreds of degrees Celsius depending on the case. The installation member 200 and the heat generating tube 130 are prevented from being in direct contact with each other by the area of the separating plate 113 inserted through the outer surface of the exothermic heating tube 130, (See Fig. 11)

The through hole 114 formed in the separating plate 113 is generally inserted with the heat generating tube 130. When the sensor rod 140 is provided, the sensor rod 140 may be inserted into the through hole 114 (See FIG. 7).

Furthermore, the separating plate 113 may be further formed with an auxiliary through hole 115 through which the temperature sensor 122 is inserted. At this time, the auxiliary through hole 115 is formed at the outer surface of the exothermic tube 130 so that the temperature sensor 122 senses the exothermic temperature of the exothermic tube 130 and transmits the sensed value to the control means 120 And a plurality of heat generating tubes 130 are provided on the body 111 so as to correspond to the number of the heat generating tubes 130. The plurality of heat generating tubes 130 are connected to the heat generating tubes 130, It is preferable to be able to detect the temperature at which heat is generated.

8, the mounting plate 116 is formed so as to be coupled through a coupling hole 117 to which a plurality of bodies 111 equipped with a heat generating tube 130 are detachably and screwably engaged, The number of the heat generating tubes 130 can be increased according to the amount of water stored in the member 200 so that the water temperature can be increased rapidly. At this time, a preferable shape of the mounting plate 116 is formed in a rectangular shape so as to prevent the movement of the water heater 100 when the water flow of the mounting member 200 is strong. In the case where there is no flow of water, Is preferably formed in a shape.

The plurality of bodies 111 provided with the heat generating tubes 130 may be installed so as to be electrically connected to the control means 120 without using the installation plate 116 It is possible to prevent the case where the heat generating tubes 130 provided in the respective bodies 111 are collided with each other due to the flow of the water accommodated in the mounting member 200 and the heat generating tubes 130 are brought into contact with each other, So as to be accommodated in the mounting member 200.
