2. Description of the Related Art A perspective view of a conventional PTC thermistor heating element is shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, 1a to 1d are positive temperature coefficient thermistors having electrodes on both surfaces, and 2a and 2b are corrugated metal heat radiators made by brazing aluminum. The metal radiators 2a and 2b are thermally and electrically fixed to the electrode surfaces on both sides of the positive temperature coefficient thermistors 1a to 1d with an adhesive (not shown). 3a and 3b are terminal plates fixed to the metal radiators 2a and 2b. Then, when a voltage is applied to the terminal plate, the positive temperature coefficient thermistor generates heat, and when air is passed through the metal radiator, warm air is obtained. As is well known, the positive temperature coefficient thermistor is a semiconductor ceramics containing barium titanate as a main component and has a property that the resistance is low up to a certain temperature and the resistance rapidly increases at a temperature higher than that. Therefore, when a voltage is applied and used as a heating element, it has a self-temperature control action and is often used as a complete heating element.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the positive temperature coefficient thermistor shown in FIG. 3, when a heating element is used in, for example, a dishwasher, the air passed through contains oil, salt, soy sauce, starch, etc. Therefore, those substances directly adhere to the PTC thermistor. Therefore, the positive temperature coefficient thermistor is deteriorated, the property that the resistance is rapidly increased is lost, and there is a risk of short-circuiting when a voltage is applied. In order to prevent this, there was also a method of embedding the PTC thermistor with a resin, but in that case, the air disappeared from the surroundings of the PTC thermistor to create a reducing atmosphere, and the PTC thermistor deteriorated even in that case.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention solves the above problems, and includes a plurality of positive temperature coefficient thermistors having electrodes formed on both surfaces, two metal radiators also serving as conductive paths, and There is an insulating frame that houses the PTC thermistor inside, and there is a gap between the inner circumference of the insulating frame and the outer circumference of the PTC thermistor, and part of the side surface of the insulating frame is thick. In addition, a through-hole communicating with the gap is provided, and the two metal radiators are fixed by an adhesive so as to be electrically and thermally connected to the electrodes on both sides of the positive temperature coefficient thermistor.

Operation With this configuration, when a voltage is applied to the two metal radiators, a current flows through the PTC thermistor through the electrodes, and the PTC thermistor generates heat. On the contrary, the heat is transmitted to the metal radiator, and when air is passed through the metal radiator, the air is heated and hot air is obtained. Here, even if the air contains oil, salt, etc., since the PTC thermistor is covered and protected by the insulating frame, the PTC thermistor is not deteriorated. Further, since clean air enters from the through hole through the gap around the PTC thermistor, there is no deterioration of the PTC thermistor due to the sealed state.
