Porous ceramic carrier having a far infrared function

Abstract

A porous ceramic carrier includes at least one substrate integrally formed with a functional far infrared material and having an inside formed with a plurality of through holes, and an electrothermal film layer coated on a surface of each of the through holes of the substrate. Thus, the porous ceramic carrier has a rapid heat circulation effect by provision of the electrothermal film layer, thereby enhancing the heat circulation efficiency of the porous ceramic carrier.

1 . A porous ceramic carrier, comprising: 
 a fan motor having a front end provided with a propeller shaft;    a plurality of fan blades mounted on a distal end of the propeller shaft of the fan motor;    at least one substrate made of ceramic material having a peripheral wall integrally formed with a functional far infrared material and having an inside formed with a plurality of axially extending through holes, wherein the at least one substrate is located between the fan motor and the fan blades;    an electrothermal film layer coated on a peripheral wall of each of the through holes of the substrate to provide a heating function;    wherein, the electro-thermal plating film layer coated on the peripheral wall of each of the through holes of the substrate is extended axially through a whole length of the substrate so that an air from the ambient environment is introduced by the fan motor to pass through the substrate and is heated by the electro-thermal plating film layer of each of the through holes of the substrate to produce a hot air which is carried outward by the impeller to provide a warming effect.
