Definitions

  • the invention relates to a radiation heating unit and a method for producing a radiation heating unit, which is provided in particular for heating a plate, such as a glass ceramic hotplate, and has an insulating support which is essentially made of high-temperature-resistant material bound with a binder, at least partly based on clay minerals, at least one radiation heating resistor is preferably attached partially exposed to the front of the insulating support.
  • the insulating support In a radiation heating unit of this type known from EP-A2-35 280, the insulating support consists of high-temperature-resistant material, for example aluminum silicate bonded with organic adhesive, and it absorbs the heating resistor in the recesses. This material is relatively difficult to process and expensive.
  • This document also discloses a method for producing a radiation heating unit, in which an insulating support made of high-temperature-resistant material is produced essentially on the basis of clay minerals and at least one radiation heating resistor is attached to it by partial embedding.
  • EP-A1-105 968 also discloses a method for producing a radiation heating unit, in which adhesive is applied to a pre-shaped groove profile of the insulating support with a correspondingly profiled rubber stamp, after which the heating resistor is inserted into the groove profile. This results in an extremely complex process, and a permanent hold of the heating resistor is not guaranteed because the adhesive can become brittle over time.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing a radiation heating unit of the type described which, with simple manufacture, good mechanical strength, low weight and a long service life, ensures a high degree of efficiency with regard to the radiated heat.
  • the insulating support consists essentially of a pressed granule of expanded mica, such as vermiculite, the granule being bound in the compact by the binder, such as a mineral binder.
  • Expanded mica of this type is generally used in construction as well as in technology for relatively large-sized thermal insulation.
  • this material can be used in a particularly advantageous manner for the production of an insulating support of the type according to the invention, although this is generally relatively small in size and finely structured and the heating resistors are mostly heating coils made of thin wire and therefore problems with Attachment of the heating resistor to the insulating support can occur.
  • the finished compressed expanded mica Due to the relatively bright and reflective surface of the finished compressed expanded mica, there is also an extremely good reflector effect with regard to the heat radiation emitted by the heating resistor, and at the same time the compressed expanded mica creates alternating reflective and heat-insulating particles, so that even with a relatively thin-walled design an extremely good insulation in the manner of superinsulation is achieved.
  • the silicates of the vermiculite series in particular the trioctahedral vermiculite, are particularly suitable as clay mineral for this purpose.
  • binders Numerous different materials are used as binders, including for example, cement or silica sol can be used.
  • a water glass solution is particularly suitable as a binder for the production of the insulating support, since this binder on the one hand ensures high strength with a relatively tightly closed surface and low degree of compression and on the other hand can have such a low proportion by weight in the finished insulating support that the insulating support is very close 100% sufficient consists of expanded mica and possibly other admixtures.
  • the binder in the mixture with the expanded mica in the uncompressed state takes up between about 10 and 40% by weight, preferably about 30% by weight, so that it also penetrates between the fine-scaled structure of the expanded mica and Adjacent particles of the grain are pushed together in a tooth-like manner during pressing and can be bonded to one another in this toothed area.
  • the binder in particular at a density of about 37 to 40 ° Be, advantageously has at most about two thirds by weight of water, the other portion preferably consisting of about 8% sodium oxide and 27% silicon oxide, so that there is one Sodium water glass solution in the weight ratio of solids of about 1: 3.35 results.
  • This solution is sufficiently low-viscosity to ensure thorough mixing with the swelling at a relatively low mixing energy to ensure mica.
  • the heating resistor on the one hand is held sufficiently securely on the insulating support and on the other hand is arranged such that the heat can radiate from it as freely as possible.
  • the heating resistor due to the alternating load due to glowing and cooling, carries out movements in itself which can cause loosening.
  • the heating resistor can also be fastened to the insulating support by means of separate fastening means, for example brackets or the like located at a distance from one another, which engage in or pass through the insulating support.
  • the heating resistor is attached to the insulating support by being directly embedded in the pressed grain. Surprisingly, it has been shown that this pressed grain can also hold the heating resistor very well and reliably in comparison with a fibrous press material.
  • the individual, intrinsically layered particles of expanded mica shift with increasing pressure on the surface of the heating resistor and with shape adjustment to this surface so that they are also in one another Interlock the area in the manner described and ensure a secure hold of the heating resistor without additional fasteners, even with a low embedding depth and relatively large embedding intervals.
  • the binder as a thin skin, also bonds to the surface of the heating resistor and, in particular after hardening, stiffens the particles of expanded mica adjacent to this surface in the manner of form-locking members, which at least partially cover the cross-section of the heating resistor in a manner that is permanent and dimensionally stable.
  • the alkali silicate acts as a corrosion inhibitor, so that the heating resistor is protected, at least in the embedded area.
  • the adhesive power of the binder is extremely good both with respect to the metal of the heating resistor and to the inorganic silicon compound forming the grain.
  • the heating resistor is embedded at different depths in the area of adjacent longitudinal sections, in particular alternating successive sections each being approximately the same depth.
  • the heating resistor is relatively densely clogged with the grain, for example if the inside of the filament is essentially filled over the entire length of the heating resistor when using a heating coil, the heating resistor exhibits an extraordinarily good glow pattern excellent heat radiation can result, especially if the filling in the heating coil is not pressed very hard or is held loose loose almost unpressed.
  • the heating resistor is embedded in the grain with at least one turn in the region of the respective longitudinal section, so that the heating resistor does not have to be designed with separate fastening members which are formed in one piece with it and towards the core of the Insulation carrier protrude above him; such fasteners could be individual turns pulled out of the otherwise aligned turn formation, shaped hairpin-shaped supports or similar configurations that can be produced from wire by bending.
  • the described embedding in the grain ensures a sufficiently secure hold for most cross sections of the heating resistors commonly used, if at least one turn of the heating resistor is embedded in the grain at most up to its inner circumference, i.e. if the arc angle on which the turn is embedded is less than or at most 90 ° and the inner circumference of the winding is practically completely exposed.
  • This can apply to all turns of the heating resistor or only to individual turns, for example successive turns in sections.
  • at least one turn of the heating resistor can be enclosed at least on a part of its inner circumference by the pressed grain, this also for all turns of the heating resistor or only for successive turns in sections what is possible depends in particular on the cross-sectional shape and size of the heating resistor.
  • At least one turn of the heating resistor engages in the pressed grain at most up to its center, that is, when it is filled with the grain at most up to its axial plane which is approximately parallel to the front of the insulating support is.
  • at least one half of the turn or all the turns engaging in this way is then completely exposed, which results in a very advantageous glow pattern.
  • individual or all turns can also engage in the grain beyond this center or be filled with the grain and thereby form zones of particularly secure fastening.
  • the grain of this filling also forms numerous small reflectors in a wide variety of directions due to its shiny metallic surfaces, which results in a diffuse radiation of the heat rays and a very uniform temperature pattern over the radiation surface.
  • the heating resistor is uniform throughout its length, for example not with molded-out fasteners, a very secure attachment is achieved with a simple structure in that longitudinal sections of the heating resistor are embedded in elevations of the insulating support, which are preferably in an otherwise in one Project the flat surface of the insulating support. These elevations are expediently transverse to the longitudinal sections of the heating resistor or webs that intersect them, which are preferably arranged in a radiation pattern around a central axis of the insulating support and in the configuration in which the heating resistor is laid.
  • the heating resistor can therefore be laid in a single plane and is covered in sections by the elevations in such a way that it is embedded deepest in them and thus securely holding them.
  • the holding force exerted by the elevations on the heating resistor is practically not reduced if the elevations decrease in cross-section to their apex in width, in particular are approximately semicircular, whereby on the one hand a high mechanical strength of the elevations in itself and on the other hand that a A larger proportion of the surface of the heating resistor is exposed than would be the case if the elevations did not decrease in width.
  • the rounded decrease in this width is more expedient for the strength of the elevations.
  • the insulating support can be made relatively smooth and tightly closed on the surface if the grain is pressed closer to the surface boundary layers at least in the areas adjacent to the heating resistor than in the core, as a result of which the abrasion on the surface of the insulating support is also proportionate can be kept low.
  • the mechanically denser and, if necessary, better heat-conducting surface layer of the insulating support can also be produced by means of an appropriate composition of the grain without post-treatment.
  • a material that brings about the desired properties after the compact has been removed from the mold For example, a silica sol or a silicon oxide in a coloidal form can be sprayed in uniformly.
  • a targeted treatment in the vicinity of the embedding of the heating resistor could also take place instead or in addition, for example by arranging spray nozzles in the region of the corresponding fastening points on the pressing tool. It is therefore possible to achieve increased mechanical strength and better heat dissipation in the fastening areas between the heating resistor and the insulating support, without otherwise significantly influencing the insulating properties of the insulating support.
  • the grain has a hydrophobic effect after pressing, for example by heat treatment, such as annealing, it can be achieved that a surface treatment or coating does not penetrate deeply and therefore does not reduce the thermal insulation capacity.
  • the hydrophobic properties can be improved with a silicone treatment.
  • the grain is pressed with the release of air chambers between the individual grain particles, so that there is not only air between the lamellar or scale-like layers of the individual grain, but also between neighboring grains, the size of which is then roughly the same
  • the order of magnitude of at least part of the grain is in the compressed state.
  • the grain size is therefore expediently compressed just as much as is necessary to achieve the desired strength properties.
  • the heating resistor can be attached in a simple manner with the compression of the grain on the insulating support in one operation, in which case the turns or coils of the heating resistor are filled more or less in the manner described with a corresponding design of the pressing tool receiving the heating resistor. It has also been found that the insulating support can also be pressed into its shape in a previous operation and the heating resistor can then be embedded in that it is pressed into the corresponding surface of the insulating support, particularly before it dries, at the points where it should be embedded.
  • the grain size in the range of Portions of the heating resistor which enter the insulating carrier are further compacted by this and partially with the build-up of a resilient voltage so that the grain resiliently closes at least partially again after a sufficiently deep penetration of the associated cross section of the heating resistor and thereby the heating resistor at each associated one Section engages positively.
  • the surface of the insulating carrier remains essentially in the form before being pressed in, ie the respective winding of the heating resistor is only filled by the amount by which the heating resistor has been pressed into the surface of the insulating carrier.
  • the grain of the insulating support in the uncompressed state has particles which are in the order of the clear spiral spacings of the heating resistor, since the penetration of the grain into the inside of the turns of the heating resistor can thereby be significantly reduced or achieved that the penetration of the filling in the windings is relatively loose and at best weakly pressed.
  • the grain of the insulating support can consist of particles of different, preferably several times different, grain size. For example, a grain size between 1 and 2 mm has proven to be advantageous. The particles of different grain sizes can be mixed together and then pressed.
  • the insulating support from layers with different grain sizes or to provide zones of different grain sizes over the surface boundary layer supporting the heating resistor such that, for example, a different grain size is provided in the embedding areas than between these embedding areas.
  • the grain size in the region of the surface boundary layer carrying the heating resistor is selected to be finer than in the adjacent layer or layers, so that the grain size becomes coarser from the front side of the insulating support to its rear side.
  • the insulating support can also have a rim protruding beyond its front side and / or its rear side in the manner of a cup wheel, which edge is then expediently less compressed and / or constructed from coarser grains than the base supporting the heating resistor .
  • the insulating support is expediently designed to be as thin as possible, in such a way that it protrudes from the back of the heating resistor only as far as is necessary for perfect electrical insulation. This can e.g. be achieved when the smallest distance of the heating resistor from the back of the insulating support is at most as large as its diameter, in particular smaller.
  • the electrical lines used to connect the heating resistor can also be guided in the shortest possible way through the insulating support to the rear of the latter and from there into an area in which they are easily accessible for connection to electrical connection elements.
  • the back of the insulating support is attached to a soft, in particular elastically deformable, insulating bedding made of at least one layer created.
  • the heating unit is provided for heating a plate, for example a glass ceramic hotplate, then it is expediently clamped against the underside of this plate with the pot edge of the insulating support, with the elastically deformable insulating bed on the side of the insulating support facing away from this plate being large and uniform adjacent spring member forms, which presses the insulating carrier against the plate under prestress.
  • the insulating bed expediently consists of a pourable insulating material, for example as the base material pyrogenic silica, as e.g. sold under the trade name 'Aerosil' by Degussa. Furthermore, ceramic fibers, e.g. Aluminum silicate fibers are used. If the insulating support is formed in one piece with the insulating bedding, these components and possibly an opacifying agent can be added directly to the expanded mica grain to be pressed.

  • a particularly easy-to-use, namely easy to store, transport and assemble heating unit results if the insulating support and possibly the insulating bed are arranged in a thin-walled support shell, in particular made of sheet metal, and preferably by engaging in a connection block attached to it Heating resistor is secured against rotation against the carrier shell.
  • the heating unit is circular when viewed from the front and is provided with a single heating resistor.
  • the heating unit a view of the front of any other shape, for example a rectangular or square basic shape, so that it is particularly well suited for a cooking unit which has several hotplates next to and / or in a row.
  • two or more independently connectable heating resistors can be arranged, preferably in interlocking spiral form, so that the heating unit has very different outputs can be driven.
  • the carrier shell is in one piece and therefore very simple in construction.
  • the insulating support can be produced in a very simple manner by drilling after pressing the insulating support, so that no complex compression mold is required and instead of grooves, openings can also be provided with openings that are closed over the circumference.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing a radiation heating unit, in which an insulating support made of high-temperature-resistant material is produced essentially on the basis of clay minerals and at least one radiation heating resistor is attached to it by partial embedding.
  • this method is characterized in that a expanded mica, such as vermiculite, is first mixed with a binder as the press material and then pressed into the form of the insulating support in a pourable grain size, after which the heating resistor with partial zones of the circumference of its cross sections is pressed into the associated one Surface of the insulating support is pressed to the embedment depth and then the insulating support is dried with the pressed-in heating resistor or is further solidified by burning or annealing instead or in addition.
  • a expanded mica such as vermiculite
  • the insulating support can first be compressed very strongly on the surface provided for receiving the heating resistor and forming its front side in such a way that the compressed grain does not tend to expand again when the heating resistor penetrates and penetrate the heating resistor substantially via the indentation depth .
  • the heating resistor with its parts penetrating into the grain, forms a press ram which partially and elastically compresses the grain in the area of these parts up to deeper layers of the insulating support in such a way that those areas of the grain, which cross-sectional sections of the heating resistor run past when penetrating and the then lie on the side of these cross-sectional sections facing the associated surface of the insulating support, spring back and thus grip these cross-sectional sections at least partially in a form-fitting and close-fitting manner with pretension.

  • the heating resistor is first embedded in the last-mentioned procedure to a predetermined depth that is less than its final embedding depth, and then in the first-described procedure after pressing the insulating support a little deeper into its final embedding -Depth is pressed in, so that a particularly high compression of the grain is achieved in the area of the embedded parts of the heating resistor and a relatively small embedding depth is sufficient to hold the heating resistor.
  • several heating resistors are arranged, it is also possible to embed at least one heating resistor with the pressing of the insulating support and to attach at least one further heating resistor subsequently by pressing in in the manner described.

  • a filling of the turns of the heating resistor with the grain can be achieved, it being possible to proceed in such a way that this filling is not or not as much compressed as that zones of the insulating support adjacent to the heating resistor. If it is expedient to partially or completely remove this filling in order to achieve a certain glow pattern, this can be done after pressing and in particular after drying, in a simple manner e.g. in that the grain of this filling is caused to fall out by vibrating or shaking movements of the insulating support or is stripped out by brushing. In the area of the heating resistor, this results in a non-tightly closed surface of the insulating carrier, which surface is substantially rougher than in the areas adjacent to the heating resistor, and which can have an advantageous effect on the radiation behavior.

  • the bottom 11e of the insulating support 2e can also replace the insulating bed by a correspondingly thicker construction, it being conceivable that the bottom 11e is more densely compacted in the boundary layer adjacent to the surface 22e than in the area below which replaces the insulating bed.
  • the bottom 11e of the insulating support 2e thus extends to the inside of the bottom of the support shell 7e.
  • the bottom of the carrier shell 7e has a knob-shaped, upwardly projecting elevation 30e lying in its central axis, which engages in a corresponding recess on the underside of the bottom 11e of the insulating carrier 2e and which on the top of the insulating carrier 2e has a corresponding, Corresponding knob-shaped elevation protruding over the surface 22e.
  • a possibly adhesive connection between the insulating carrier 2e and the carrier shell 7e can thereby be enlarged and it is also conceivable to absorb thermal stresses by means of such or a similar link 30e.
  • the heating unit If can not only do without a separate insulating bed, but even without a carrier shell or without a base plate if a correspondingly high strength of the insulating support 2f is set by a suitable mixture of the press material and a corresponding choice of cross sections and compression.
  • a heating unit If without a shell is particularly suitable for heating large-scale ovens, such as those used in commercial kitchens.
  • the heating unit can also be arranged with a central axis deviating from the vertical position, for example with a horizontal central axis, on a side wall of the oven muffle.
  • a mixture of pyrogenic silica, opacifying agent and fiber material with a weight fraction of approximately 15% can be added with a weight fraction of approximately 40% of mica and approximately 30% water glass before pressing, whereby the thermal insulation can also be influenced favorably .
