Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holding part for receiving PTC elements, consisting of a contact plate and a Frame made of insulating material.
  • PTC radiators with PTC elements usually have multiple PTC elements side by side, preferably in a row, arranged and by common Contact plates are covered on their PTC elements facing sides, if necessary, still insulating plates are arranged.
  • This arrangement is in any suitable way, for example by brackets, by terminal strips, by inserting it into an envelope or the like, held together.
  • An example is the DE-OS 28th 45 965, DE-OS 28 45 894 and DE-OS 29 48 591 referred.
  • US Pat. No. 2,606,986 shows a resistance unit with PTC elements.
  • the resistance unit has a channel designated lower part, which has the function of a lower Contact plate for the resistance PTC elements fulfilled.
  • this channel part is a frame part made of insulation material easy to insert.
  • the manufacture of Resistor unit the PTC elements in the frame part inserted so that they touch the bottom and thus the contact plate of the duct part. There will be another contact plate on which a spring is placed an insulation strip is applied to the top.
  • the elements mentioned so far Metal profile part initially loosely attached. The parts are then held together by breakthroughs of the profile part protruding tabs of the lower Channel part are bent. This connection is through Bend back releasably, creating the entire resistance unit disassembled again and into hers Individual parts can be disassembled.
  • the PTC elements can fall through the frame part. Is the combination of the channel part and the Frame part together as a holding part, there is a risk that this before, but especially after Insert the PTC elements in further processing and Conveying process for the production of the entire part or also can separate during transport, so that the PTC elements can fall out again or move.
  • the invention has for its object one for PTC elements to create a suitable holding part with the one hand the PTC elements also before assembling the heating arrangement reliably kept for their further assembly and not involuntarily from a (loose) sandwich arrangement can fall out again and on the other hand the Contact plate and the frame against a relative mutual pivoting and against buckling level, but none (absolutely rigid) full definition should be provided so that between the contact plate and frame compensating movements Compensation of pressure forces and temperature changes possible are.
  • the PTC elements are sufficient their narrow sides surrounding frame made of insulating material not out there, even if an underlay against it from below is held, such as a contact plate, there is a risk that insulating frames and documents slip relative to each other, so that again a single PTC stone can fall out of the frame.
  • the invention therefore provides that the contact plate and the Frame made of insulating material firmly connected are. Solid here means that these are in a way with each other are connected that they are not without great effort can be solved, especially not by accident detach from each other or move relative to each other can. In principle, a screw connection could also be used be provided.
  • the contact plate in the area of one of their Rivets riveted to the frame made of insulating material is.
  • the fixed contact plate is one-sided of the frame arranged so that the individual PTC elements or stones from the opposite side into that Frame part can be inserted and falling through be prevented by the contact plate.
  • the further contact element such as one another contact plate or a profile contact body with U-section, are then placed on further assembly, namely if necessary laying on Insulating plates on the contact plate, this insulating body protective additional cover elements, such as stable cover plates etc., can be put on.
  • the invention provides that End of the contact plate that is not firmly attached to the frame is connected, against pivoting and additionally not to protect even a buckling from its level but also to be fully determined so that the end Can perform compensating movements, for example under Pressure forces and temperature changes. This is through the invention brings about.
  • the bracket overlaps that of the attachment point opposite end of the contact plate, leaving the contact plate free between its end regions is.
  • connection tab rivets to the contact plate and / or that a connecting lug is made in one piece with the contact plate is trained. If the contact plate is already tight connected to the frame, so it makes sense then too a connection tab, namely that with the contact plate in To form related, integral with this and / or also to connect firmly to the frame, such as riveting.
  • the contact plate made of flexible There is sheet metal.
  • a preferred one stands out Embodiment characterized in that the contact plate for Frame is convexly bent and prestressed. This will even with local and not over the entire length of the frame and the contact plate exerted forces, a sufficient Press on and thus a sufficiently good contact between Contact plate and PTC elements achieved over the entire length.
  • a further development provides that near the attachment point on the side of the contact plate facing the Cam extending from the plane of the same are provided. This allows the frame to be turned away Insulation plates on the side of the contact plate an axial displacement can be kept.
  • Another education provides that the frame has crossbars. Hereby the individual PTC elements are each in individual recesses individually framed and recorded in the frame.
  • the heating device 1 has an aluminum U-profile 2 on, which preferably a hardness F28 and a temperature resistance of over 400 ° Celsius. At one end 3 of the U-profile 2 is on the outer wall 4, a connecting tab 6 attached, e.g. soldered or spot welded.
  • the holding part 11 has a frame 12 made of insulating material such as Rayton.
  • the frame 12 is made Longitudinal legs 13, transverse legs formed on the end faces 14, 15, and in the illustrated embodiment formed from crossbars 16. Furthermore, it points to a Face 17 a U-shaped rising from its plane Strap 18 on, with its legs 19 in one piece the longitudinal legs 13 of the frame 12 is formed while a web 21 extends across the width of the frame 12.
  • a contact plate extends over the frame 12 22.
  • the contact plate 22 is in the illustrated embodiment designed as a spring plate.
  • connection tab 26 riveted with.
  • the connection tab could also be in one piece be formed with the contact plate 22.
  • the contact plate 22 is preferably convexly bent toward the frame 12 and thus biased.
  • the frame 12 faces in the area its end 23 on the same, the contact plate 22 facing Side on which the bracket 18 is also seated on his Longitudinal legs 13 on two cams 28, which in the longitudinal direction the contact plates, on the side facing away from the frame Insulated parts placed between the cams 28 and the bracket 18 hold in the longitudinal direction.
  • PTC elements 31 In the delimited by the legs 13, 14, 15 and the webs 16 Recesses 29 of the frame 12 are PTC elements 31 (figures 1,3,4) used. Individuals lie on the contact plate 22 Insulating parts 32, which together form an insulating pad.
  • the insulating parts 32 essentially have one of the PTC elements 31 corresponding length. Their width corresponds to the clear one Distance between the legs 7 of the U-profile 2.
  • the insulating parts consist preferably of heat-conducting, electrically-insulating Metal oxide, such as magnesium, barium or preferably alumina.
  • cover plates 33 On the insulating parts 32 are still stable cover plates 33, for example Aluminum, on whose width and length the width and length the insulating parts 32 corresponds.
  • the height of the arrangement PTC element 31, contact plate 22 and insulating part 32 is located little below the clear length of the legs 7 of the U-profile 2, while the amount of the aforementioned parts plus the amount of the cover plate 33 a little above said clear length the leg 7 lies.
  • the slats 41 point to this a breakthrough 42, which u.a. by two opposite Tabs 43 is delimited from the main plane of the slats 41 are bent out.
  • the distance A to the main part of the slats 41 is the same at least the height of the heating unit from leg 8 of the U-profile 2, a PTC element 31, the contact plate 22, the Insulating part 32 and the cover plate 33, during the light Distance D of the end faces 46 of the tabs 43 below the height the arrangement described above and thus below the distance A is as long as the lamella 41 is not yet over the heating unit defined above is pushed.
