Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for ventilating a room, in particular a toilet, consisting of a fan wheel which is arranged in a housing and can be driven by an electric motor which can be switched on if required, and fan flaps which are mounted on the housing and can be pivoted into an open position via a rod and which are clamped on one side , electrically heatable and the rod adjustable bimetallic strip and from a short distance from the clamping point on the bimetallic strip, designed as a PTC resistor.
- Such a device is known from DE-0S 31 00 232.
- an operating switch for example a light switch or a door contact switch
- the circuit for the heating element or the PTC resistor is closed.
- This heating element gradually heats up and with it the bimetal strip.
- the bimetallic strip has the property that it gradually deforms or bends as it heats up.
- the deformation of the bimetal strip which causes the fan flaps to open begins at the earliest after 60 seconds; As soon as the bimetal strip has reached its saturation temperature, the fan flaps are fully open. This is relative Slow opening of the fan flaps means that the electric motor has to be switched on with a delay.
- a thermal switch is arranged on the bimetal strip in the area of the heating element, which responds, for example, at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius and closes the circuit for the electric motor, so that the fan wheel is put into operation.
- the thermal switch also has the task of ensuring the power supply to the electric motor of the fan for a certain run-on time. As soon as the thermal switch drops below a temperature of, for example, less than 50 degrees Celsius, the circuit for the electric motor is interrupted again and the fan wheel is shut down.
- the invention is based on the object of designing a device for ventilating a room, in particular a toilet, in such a way that the normally closed fan flaps begin their opening shortly after the operating switch is actuated and assume their fully open position after 10 seconds at the latest, so that the electric motor can start immediately and no special delay is required.
- a second heating element is arranged on the bimetal strip at a distance from the first heating element.
- This configuration ensures that the bimetallic strip heats up very quickly after the operating switch is actuated and the opening movement of the fan flaps is initiated within a very short time after the operating switch has been actuated.
- the fan flaps are fully open at the latest 10 seconds after the operating switch has been actuated, so that the electric motor for the fan wheel can start immediately with the actuation of the operating switch.
- a special delay device is therefore no longer required. This has the advantage that the device is also effective within a very short time after the operating switch has been actuated.
- FIG. 1 Of a device for ventilating a room, only one frame 2 is shown in FIG. 1, which carries a plurality of pivotably mounted fan flaps 3. To mount the fan flaps 3, they are provided with pins (not shown in more detail), each of which carries a swivel arm 4 on one side of the frame 2. All swivel arms 4 are connected to one another by a common rod 5. When the rod 5 moves in the direction of the arrow 6, all the swivel arms 4 are moved and thus all the fan flaps 3 are moved into the open position (not shown).
- the other end 7b of the bimetallic strip 7 is either with one Screw 8 clamped in place or secured in a manner not shown so that it can be inserted between retaining pins by appropriate shaping.
- the bimetal strip 7 carries a heating element 9, which is formed by a PTC resistor or a PTC thermistor element.
- a further heating element 10 is provided, which is designed in the same way as the heating element 9.
- the heating elements 9, 10 are designed as so-called pills and have a diameter of approximately 10 mm and a height of approximately 3 mm.
- the two heating elements 9, 10 are arranged in a circuit between phase L and the zero potential N of a mains voltage of 220 volts.
- this circuit there is also an electric motor 11 for driving a fan wheel.
- the circuit is closed and the electric motor 7 is switched on via an operating switch 12, which is formed, for example, by a light switch, a button or a door contact.
- the heating elements 9, 10 begin to heat up. This heating causes the bimetallic strip 7 to begin to deform within a very short time after the operating switch 12 has been actuated. So that the rod 5 is moved in the direction of arrow 6 and the fan flaps 3 begin to open.
- the bimetal strip 7 has reached its end position at the latest 10 seconds after the operating switch 12 has been actuated, and the fan flaps 3 are fully open.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Belüften eines Raumes, insbesondere einer Toilette, bestehend aus einem in einem Gehäuse angeordneten und von einem bedarfsweise anschaltbaren Elektromotor antreibbaren Lüfterrad, aus am Gehäuse gelagerten und über eine Stange in eine Offenstellung schwenkbaren Lüfterklappen, aus einem einseitig eingespannten, elektrisch erwärmbaren und die Stange verstellbaren Bimetallstreifen und aus einem mit geringem Abstand von der Einspannstelle auf dem Bimetallstreifen angeordneten, als PTC-Widerstand ausgebildeten Heizelement.The invention relates to a device for ventilating a room, in particular a toilet, consisting of a fan wheel which is arranged in a housing and can be driven by an electric motor which can be switched on if required, and fan flaps which are mounted on the housing and can be pivoted into an open position via a rod and which are clamped on one side , electrically heatable and the rod adjustable bimetallic strip and from a short distance from the clamping point on the bimetallic strip, designed as a PTC resistor.
Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der DE-0S 31 00 232 bekannt. Beim Betätigen eines Betriebsschalters, beispielsweise eines Lichtschalters oder eines Türkontaktschalters, wird der Stromkreis für das Heizelement bzw. den PTC-Widerstand geschlossen. Dieses Heizelement erwärmt sich allmählich und damit auch der Bimetallstreifen. Dabei hat der Bimetallstreifen die Eigenschaft, daß er sich bei seiner Erwärmung allmählich verformt bzw. bogenförmig verbiegt. Bei der bekannten Vorrichtung beginnt die ein Öffnen der Lüfterklappen bewirkende Verformung des Bimetallstreifens frühestens nach 60 Sekunden; sobald der Bimetallstreifen seine Sättigungstemperatur erreicht hat, sind die Lüfterklappen vollständig geöffnet. Dieses verhältnismäßig langsame Öffnen der Lüfterklappen macht es erforderlich, daß der Elektromotor verzögert angeschaltet werden muß. Dazu ist auf dem Bimetallstreifen im Bereich des Heizelementes ein Thermoschalter angeordnet, der beispielsweise bei einer Temperatur von 60 Grad Celsius anspricht und den Stromkreis für den Elektromotor schließt, so daß das Lüfterrad in Betrieb gesetzt wird. Zusätzlich hat der Thermoschalter noch die Aufgabe, die Stromzufuhr zum Elektromotor des Lüfters auch noch für eine gewisse Nachlaufzeit sicherzustellen. Sobald der Thermoschalter eine Temperatur von beispielsweise unter 50 Grad Celsius unterschreitet, wird der Stromkreis für den Elektromotor wieder unterbrochen und damit das Lüfterrad stillgesetzt.Such a device is known from DE-0S 31 00 232. When an operating switch, for example a light switch or a door contact switch, is actuated, the circuit for the heating element or the PTC resistor is closed. This heating element gradually heats up and with it the bimetal strip. The bimetallic strip has the property that it gradually deforms or bends as it heats up. In the known device, the deformation of the bimetal strip which causes the fan flaps to open begins at the earliest after 60 seconds; As soon as the bimetal strip has reached its saturation temperature, the fan flaps are fully open. This is relative Slow opening of the fan flaps means that the electric motor has to be switched on with a delay. For this purpose, a thermal switch is arranged on the bimetal strip in the area of the heating element, which responds, for example, at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius and closes the circuit for the electric motor, so that the fan wheel is put into operation. In addition, the thermal switch also has the task of ensuring the power supply to the electric motor of the fan for a certain run-on time. As soon as the thermal switch drops below a temperature of, for example, less than 50 degrees Celsius, the circuit for the electric motor is interrupted again and the fan wheel is shut down.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Belüften eines Raumes, insbesondere einer Toilette so auszubilden, daß die normalerweise geschlossenen Lüfterklappen kurz nach dem Betätigen des Betriebsschalters ihre Öffnung beginnen und spätestens nach 10 Sekunden ihre vollkommen geöffnete Lage einnehmen, so daß der Elektromotor sofort anlaufen kann und keine besondere Verzögerung erforderlich ist.The invention is based on the object of designing a device for ventilating a room, in particular a toilet, in such a way that the normally closed fan flaps begin their opening shortly after the operating switch is actuated and assume their fully open position after 10 seconds at the latest, so that the electric motor can start immediately and no special delay is required.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung vorgeschlagen, daß mit Abstand von dem ersten Heizelement ein zweites Heizelement auf dem Bimetallstreifen angeordnet ist.To solve this problem, it is proposed in a device of the type described in the introduction that a second heating element is arranged on the bimetal strip at a distance from the first heating element.
Durch diese Ausbildung wird erreicht, daß sich der Bimetallstreifen sehr rasch nach dem Betätigen des Betriebsschalters erwärmt und innerhalb kürzester Zeit nach der Betätigung des Betriebsschalters die Öffnungsbewegung der Lüfterklappen eingeleitet wird. Spätestens 10 Sekunden nach der Betätigung des Betriebsschalters sind die Lüfterklappen vollkommen geöffnet, so daß der Elektromotor für das Lüfterrad sofort mit der Betätigung des Betriebsschalters anlaufen kann. Eine besondere Verzögerungseinrichtung ist daher nicht mehr erforderlich. Dies bringt den Vorteil mit sich, daß die Vorrichtung auch innerhalb kürzester Zeit nach der Betätigung des Betriebsschalters wirksam ist.This configuration ensures that the bimetallic strip heats up very quickly after the operating switch is actuated and the opening movement of the fan flaps is initiated within a very short time after the operating switch has been actuated. The fan flaps are fully open at the latest 10 seconds after the operating switch has been actuated, so that the electric motor for the fan wheel can start immediately with the actuation of the operating switch. A special delay device is therefore no longer required. This has the advantage that the device is also effective within a very short time after the operating switch has been actuated.
Weitere Merkmale einer Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 - 4 offenbart.Further features of a device according to the invention are disclosed in claims 2-4.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in einer Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen
- Fig. 1 eine teilweise Frontansicht einer Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung und
- Fig. 2 einen Schaltplan der Vorrichtung der Fig. 1.
- Fig. 1 is a partial front view of a device according to the invention and
- FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of the device of FIG. 1.
Von einer Vorrichtung zum Belüften eines Raumes ist in der Fig. 1 nur ein Rahmen 2 gezeigt, der mehrere schwenkbar gelagerte Lüfterklappen 3 trägt. Zur Lagerung der Lüfterklappen 3 sind dieselben mit nicht näher dargestellten Zapfen versehen, die an einer Seite des Rahmens 2 jeweils einen Schwenkarm 4 tragen. Alle Schwenkarme 4 sind durch eine gemeinsame Stange 5 miteinander verbunden. Bei einer Bewegung der Stange 5 in Richtung des Pfeiles 6 werden alle Schwenkarme 4 bewegt und damit alle Lüfterklappen 3 in die nicht dargestellte Offenstellung bewegt.Of a device for ventilating a room, only one frame 2 is shown in FIG. 1, which carries a plurality of pivotably mounted
An einem Ende der Stange 5 greift in dieselbe das freie Ende 7a eines einseitig eingespannten Bimetallstreifens 7 ein. Das andere Ende 7b des Bimetallstreifens 7 ist entweder mit einer Schraube 8 ortsfest eingespannt oder in nicht dargestellter Weise durch entsprechende Formgebung zwischen Haltestiften einsteckbar gesichert.At one end of the
Mit geringem Abstand vom eingespannten Ende 7b trägt der Bimetallstreifen 7 ein Heizelement 9, welches durch einen PTC- Widerstand bzw. ein Kaltleiterelement gebildet ist. Etwa in der Mitte zwischen dem Heizelement 9 und dem frei beweglichen Ende 7a des Bimetallstreifens 7 ist ein weiteres Heizelement 10 vorgesehen, welches in gleicher Weise wie das Heizelement 9 ausgebildet ist. Die Heizelemente 9,10 sind als sogenannte Pillen ausgebildet und besitzen einen Durchmesser von etwa 10 mm und eine Höhe von etwa 3 mm.At a short distance from the clamped
Aus der Fig. 2 ist ersichtlich, daß die beiden Heizelemente 9,10 in einem Stromkreis zwischen der Phase L und dem Null-Potential N einer Netzspannung von 220 Volt angeordnet sind. In diesem Stromkreis liegt auch ein Elektromotor 11 für den Antrieb eines Lüfterrades. Über einen Betriebsschalter 12, der beispielsweise durch einen Lichtschalter, einen Taster oder einen Türkontakt gebildet wird, wird der Stromkreis geschlossen und damit der Elektromotor 7 angeschaltet. Mit dem Schließen des Stromkreises beginnen die Heizelemente 9,10 sich zu erwärmen. Diese Erwärmung bewirkt, daß sich der Bimetallstreifen 7 innerhalb kürzester Zeit nach der Betätigung des Betriebsschalters 12 zu verformen beginnt. Damit wird die Stange 5 in Richtung des Pfeiles 6 verschoben und die Lüfterklappen 3 beginnen sich zu Öffnen. Spätestens 10 Sekunden nach der Betätigung des Betriebsschalters 12 hat der Bimetallstreifen 7 seine Endlage erreicht und die Lüfterklappen 3 sind vollständig geöffnet.From FIG. 2 it can be seen that the two
