Patent ID: 7499633

Claim:
An infrared heater, comprising: a) a support body having a base and a pipe body, the pipe body having a power cable passing through the pipe body and a connecting base disposed at the top of the pipe body; and b) a heat source irradiating device coupled onto the connecting base by a positioning base disposed at the back of the heat source irradiating device and electrically coupled to the power cable, the heat source irradiating device including: i) a reflecting hood integrally formed by aluminum extrusion, and having a hood body with symmetric arcs on both sides, an n-shape body formed at the top of the hood body, and two non-planar symmetric arc bodies with a center line AA′ of the reflecting hood as a base and disposed on the top surface of the n-shape body, such that the n-shape body shows a double-arc wavy surface, and the each arc body separately defines each center N 1 , N 2 ; ii) a casing for installing and fixing the reflecting hood therein; and iii) an infrared tube installed along a center line AA′ of the reflecting hood, and disposed at a height between the n-shape body and the hood body, such that the center S of the infrared tube is situated between two centers N 1 , N 2 of the two symmetrical arc bodies, and a radiant heat is radiated from an open end having an included angle from 60° to 80° with the hood body after the radiant heat at the upper half of the infrared tube is reflected from the two arc bodies.
