Description

Radiator with electric heating rod or the like.

The invention relates to a radiator with a liquid heating medium and at least one electric heating rod or the like., wherein the radiator has a hollow frame and two parallel frame pieces connecting pipes or the like. Heat exchanger parts for the circulating heating medium and the heating rod in one of the frame pieces is arranged in the lower region of the radiator and from the outside and via control and / or Switching elements, for example a thermostat and the like. Electric current can be supplied.

Such radiators are known and are used, for example, to provide a drying facility, especially for in a bathroom To create towels and / or an additional heating option, especially in the transition period when the central heating should not be used yet. It is then advantageous to be able to heat the bathroom electrically, whereby at the same time the mentioned drying option for damp towels is obtained. In addition, is such a electric radiator particularly suitable for retrofitting.

In order to comply with the strict safety regulations in damp rooms

for electrical installations, the control and switching elements for the heating element are in a corresponding way Catching housing housed airtight and moisture-tight and this housing protrudes in a disadvantageous manner from the outline of such a radiator.

Attempts have been made to make this annoying case largely invisible through inconspicuous coloring, but it is this is only possible if the radiator itself can be given a correspondingly strong color. The environment must also in which the radiator is attached, have a corresponding color, otherwise an inconspicuous colored one Housing, for example, emerges again against strongly colored tiles. Incidentally, such is from the outline of the radiator the protruding part is also disadvantageous because of the risk of damage.

The object is therefore to create a radiator of the type mentioned at the outset, in which a protruding housing Control parts for the heating rod can be avoided. Nevertheless, it should be possible in the heating medium in the radiator a To be able to maintain a certain temperature without neglecting electrical safety regulations.

The solution to this problem is essentially that the control and switching elements or the like. for the heating rod inside at least one of the frame pieces - ■ opposite the heating medium sealed and shut off - are arranged. In this way it becomes a separate, ugly, annoying and protruding one Housing avoided. From the frame of the radiator only the electrical line goes to a wall connection point, for example an outlet. With a skilful installation, this can be largely covered.

It is particularly useful if the heating element is in one of the vertical frame tubes and the control parts are arranged in the lower horizontal frame tube. The power connection can then take place on this lower horizontal frame tube and the transverse, higher-lying tubes for the heating medium can ensure a good circulation of the heating medium despite the lower frame part blocked for the heating medium care for.

An embodiment of the invention can consist in that the lower frame tube with the control parts by hand has actuatable switch preferably on its underside. This makes it possible to use the entire heating device without pulling out the plug. If necessary, with such an arrangement instead of a cable with Plug also a permanent electrical installation can be carried out.

Another embodiment of the invention can be in a radiator, which electrically and / or via a central heating system or the like. is heatable, consist in that the supply and the flow of the heating medium of the central heating system on the vertical frame pieces above the lower cross frame piece are connected and the lower frame piece for receiving the electrical control parts or the like. compared to the rest The radiator is sealed and shut off. Thus, in such a radiator, the medium of a Circulate central heating above the lower frame part through the remaining tubes and frame parts of the radiator. During the transition period, the heating medium can circulate within the radiator in the same way by convection.

The features and measures described above result in a radiator, which has a closed and smooth contour from the outside, with annoying connection housings being avoided. Through this the entire electrical installation is protected and housed in such a way that it does not interfere visually.

The invention with the details to be heard as essential to it is described in greater detail below with reference to the drawing described.

It shows:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a heater according to the invention and

Fig. 2, on an enlarged scale and partly in section, shows a portion of this Radiator and in particular the one that is closed and cordoned off from the heating mediura Arrangement of the control and switching elements for the heating rod arranged in a vertical frame tube with the associated temperature sensor.

A radiator designated as a whole by 1 has a hollow frame made up of two vertical parallel frame pieces 2 each and two parallel horizontal frame pieces 3, which in the exemplary embodiment are each square tubes. The two verticals Frame pieces 2 are connected by tubes 4, in the exemplary embodiment round tubes, so that one inside this Radiator 1 located heating medium can circulate well both through the frame pieces 2 and 3 and the tubes 4.

In one of the vertical frame pieces 2 is shown in FIG lower area of the radiator 1, an electric heating rod 5 with an associated heating sensor is arranged, which by the heating and the resulting heating of the heating medium ensures its circulation.

This heating rod 5 is electrical from the outside via a cable 6 Current supplied, wherein in the lower horizontal frame piece 3 in its outline and thus invisible from the outside the required control and switching elements 7, such as a thermostat and a switch - opposite the Sealed heating medium - are arranged. A special housing for these control and switching elements 7, which the The outer contour of the radiator 1 could interfere and in turn would be endangered by such a protrusion, is thus avoided.

In addition, a manually operable switch 8 is indicated in FIGS. 1 and 2, with the aid of which switching on and off of the radiator 1 and its heating rod 5 is possible without plugging in the plug 9 of the cable 6 and pulling it out to have to. Since the electrical control and switching parts 7 are arranged in the lower horizontal frame tube 3, the heating medium can pass through the two vertical frame pieces, the upper frame piece 3 and the horizontal round tubes 4 circulate. This results in a sufficiently large heating surface, in which the lack of the lower horizontal frame piece 3 does not matter.

If the radiator 1 should also be able to be connected to a central heating system, the inflow and outflow of the heating medium provided above the lower horizontal frame piece 3

be, so that even with such a radiator, which is optional can be heated via central heating or electrically can, the electrical control and switching elements 7 can be arranged in the lower frame part 3.

Such a radiator 1, which is particularly favorable for the transitional period, is also well suited to drying bath towels 10, For which purpose larger gaps 11 between individual groups of horizontal heating pipes 4 are left free.

All features and construction details shown in the description, the claims, the abstract and the drawing can be of major importance both individually and in any combination.
