いに接近させて構成する方法が講しられてきた。The heating element (referred to as lower PTC) is a PTC installed between a pair of electrode wires.
The temperature is self-controlled to an appropriate level by the PTC characteristics of the TC resistor. However, in cases where particularly high power density is required, it is essential to improve the temperature distribution in the direction between the pair of electrode wires in order to make the temperature distribution of the heating element uniform. A method has been proposed in which the distance between a pair of electrode wires is made closer to each other.

傍にはこの傾向が顕著である。Problems to be Solved by the Invention In general, such PTC heating elements have the disadvantage that, with long-term use, the resistance of the entire heater increases and the heat generation temperature decreases. In particular, PTC resistors that are mixed with a conductive powder made of a finely divided polymer composition or a crosslinked material have a sea-island structure between the conductive powder and the polymer as a binder, which improves safety and processing. Although it has excellent stability, it is difficult to obtain uniform heat generation distribution, so the above-mentioned tendency was noticeable. This is mainly because interfacial cracks occur due to the difference in thermal expansion between the crosslinked conductive powder and the uncrosslinked polymer as a binder, and the conductive path is severed. This tendency is remarkable near large conductive particles.

物を用いる正抵抗温度係数をもつ発熱体とした。Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a long tube-shaped positive electrode whose main component is a conductive composition obtained by dispersing conductive fine powder in a crystalline polymer composition. A resistor having a temperature coefficient of resistance, an electrode wire surrounded by the resistor, an electrode wire facing the outer shell side of the resistor and covered over the entire circumference, and an electrical insulator sheathing the electrode wire. A heating element having a positive temperature coefficient of resistance, and a conductive composition that is crosslinked with an electron beam or a crosslinking agent such as an organic peroxide, and then pulverized to form a particulate conductive composition, This was used as a heating element having a positive temperature coefficient of resistance using a conductive composition formed by mixing and dispersing it in a crystalline polymer composition.

か可能となる。Effect In the above configuration, the effect of the particle size of the conductive powder in the polymer composition on the low resistance value change rate during intermittent 100V operation is investigated and the results are shown in FIG. As is clear from FIG. 3, it can be seen that there is a close relationship between the maximum particle size of the conductive powder and the low resistance value change rate. Especially when the maximum particle size is 100
Below μm, the change in resistance value is extremely stabilized. This is because there is a difference in thermal expansion between the conductive powder and the polymer material as a binder, and repeated heat generation and energization will cause interface cracks, especially in large powders.However, in the present invention, the maximum particle size is reduced to 100 μm or less. The fine particles form a conductive path and equalize stress unevenness, creating a mechanism that prevents the occurrence of interface cracks to an extremely low level. This improves the high resistance caused by energization of the heating element and extends the product's lifespan. It becomes possible.
