Technical Field
The present invention relates to an electric heater applied to a cooking apparatus, and more particularly, to an electric heater including a planar heat generating body capable of effectively reducing a heat generation temperature of an electrode portion even if the electrode portion is formed in a limited area.
Background
In general, a cooking device is a device that cooks an object by heating the object with gas or electricity, and various products such as a microwave oven using microwaves, an oven using a heater, a gas range using gas, an electric range using electricity, and a cooktop (cooktop) having a gas range or an electric range built therein are widely used.
In the gas range, a flame is directly generated using gas as a heat source, and in contrast, an electric range heats a container and food placed on an upper plate using gas and electricity.
In the gas range, heat loss due to flame is large, and pollutants are discharged and pollute indoor air as the gas range is incompletely combusted, so that the electric range has attracted attention in recent years.
Electric cookers can be divided into: an induction cooker (induction) for directly heating the magnetic container by magnetic induction; an electric ceramic furnace (Hi-light) for heating the upper surface of the ceramic by a hot wire.
For the induction cooker, the cooking time at high temperature is short, but a special container having magnetism is required. In contrast, in the case of the electric ceramic oven, although the existing container is directly used, the cooking time is relatively long.
In the conventional electric ceramic furnace, a heating element using a nickel chromium wire is used, but an electric heater using a planar heating element is being developed in order to make the thickness of the heating element thin.
In addition, in order to shorten the cooking time, an electric ceramic oven using an electric heater capable of heating a limited area to a high temperature has been developed.
As an example of such an electric heater, there is a planar heat generating device disclosed in korean patent laid-open publication No. 10-1762159B1 (08/04/2017), which includes: a substrate, the surface of which is made of an electrically insulating material; a heating element attached to a surface of the substrate and arranged in a predetermined shape; and a power supply unit for supplying power to the heating element.
In the electric heater as described above, the temperature distribution of the heating target may vary depending on the arrangement shape (i.e., pattern) of the planar heating element, and the planar heating element is preferably formed in a shape or form that can uniformly heat the heating target to the maximum extent possible.
The planar heating element of the electric heater includes a plurality of linear or arc-shaped rails (tracks), and adjacent rails among the plurality of rails may have a shape connected by a bridge (or a track).
As another example of the heater, there is a Temperature sensitive device (Temperature sensitive device) disclosed in european patent publication EP0,228,808A2 (published 1987, 07/15), which is configured such that a heater track and a pair of electrodes, which are conductive materials, are printed on a ceramic coating, and radiant heat is generated from the heater track by the electrodes as current is supplied.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric heater including a planar heat generating element capable of greatly reducing the resistance of an electrode in a limited area.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an electric heater including a planar heat generating element that can prevent local heat generation even if a large current density difference is generated inside a pattern portion.
The present invention provides an electric heater, comprising: a Substrate (Substrate: an insulating material capable of forming a conductor pattern on a surface of an insulating Substrate); and a planar heating element (an planar heating element) formed on one surface of the substrate; the planar heating element includes: a pattern section connecting a start point and an end point of the pattern section; and an electrode portion connected to a start point and an end point of the pattern portion, the electrode portion being formed to have a thickness greater than that of the pattern portion. Therefore, the resistance of the electrode in a limited area can be greatly reduced, thereby forming a non-heat-generating portion.
At this time, the electrode part may include: an anode electrode located outside the pattern part and connected to a start point of the pattern part; and a cathode electrode disposed outside the pattern portion in a horizontal manner with the anode electrode, and connected to an end point of the pattern portion.
In addition, in the present invention, the pattern part may include: a plurality of circular arc-shaped rails spaced apart from each other and extending from the inside of the pattern portion toward the outside; and a plurality of bridges connecting the plurality of rails in series.
At this time, the pattern part may be formed in a symmetrical shape with respect to a reference line passing through the center of the pattern part.
In the present invention, the electrode part is formed to have a thickness greater than that of the rail, the electrode part may be formed to have a thickness 1.3 to 2.0 times that of the plurality of rails, and the electrode part generates heat to 200 ℃ or less while a current flows.
In addition, in the present invention, the thickness of the bridge is formed to be greater than that of the rails, the thickness of the bridge may be formed in a range of 1.3 to 2.0 times the thickness of the plurality of rails, and the bridge generates heat to 500 ℃ or less while current flows.
Therefore, even if a large density difference is generated by the current flowing along the bridge, since the resistance of the bridge is formed to be small, it is possible to prevent local heat generation of the bridge portion and dielectric breakdown caused by the local heat generation.
In the present invention, the planar heat generating element further includes: an inner planar heating element formed at the center of the planar heating element; and at least one or more outer surface heating elements provided so as to surround the inner surface heating elements, the electrode unit including: an inner electrode portion for supplying current to the inner planar heating element; and an outer electrode portion for supplying current to the outer surface heating element. That is, by forming a plurality of patterns, the heat generation intensity in a plurality of stages can be realized.
According to the electric heater of the present invention, even if the electrode portion is formed in a limited area, the resistance of the electrode portion can be significantly reduced by forming the thickness of the electrode portion to be larger than that of the pattern portion. Therefore, the heat generation temperature of the electrode portion formed in the limited area can be effectively reduced.
In the pattern portion of the present invention, the bridge having a large current density difference at the center of the pattern portion is formed to have a thickness larger than that of the track, whereby the bridge resistance can be significantly reduced. Therefore, the bridge portion in the pattern portion can be prevented from generating local heat and the heat line can be prevented from being damaged, and the entire area formed by the pattern portion can be uniformly heated.
In the present invention, a plurality of pattern portions are formed in the same plane, whereby heat generation intensity in a plurality of stages can be provided. Therefore, a limited area can be heated to a high temperature in a stepwise manner.
