Definitions

  • the invention relates to a towel dryer with a flow of heating medium through a curved pipe string made of straight pipes and curved pipe connections, of which the straight pipes within one of two groups horizontally spaced from each other, each group in one of two parallel vertical planes and two pipes each two groups are arranged at the same height, and of which the curved pipe connections are connected to adjacent pipes.
  • Towel dryers and holders of the aforementioned type are mainly used in the sanitary area. They hang, hold and dry towels, bath towels and similar items of laundry and clothing over the pipes. They also heat - within limits - the space in which they are arranged.
  • Towel dryers are known, the tubing of which is bent in a meandering shape.
  • the curved pipe connections merge into the end faces of the pipe above and below the same group of the same group.
  • a known towel dryer see. DE 88 11 488 U1 connects to the top tube a group on one end face a pipe connection coming from below and on the other end face a downward pipe connection, which is also bent into the plane of the pipes of the second group.
  • a known towel dryer see. DE 89 03 146 U1 is on the top tube of one group on the front side a coming from below, on the other hand connected to the tube of the same group arranged below, and on the other front side a horizontally extending, until essentially connected pipe connection reaching into the level of the second group.
  • the known towel dryers are intended for connection to a hot water heating system.
  • the pump in the hot water heating system also causes the water to circulate in the hand dryer. If the towel dryer is to be operated separately from the hot water heating system as a single body, which is supplied with energy by an electrically powered heating cartridge, the hot water circulation may not be guaranteed.
  • the invention seeks to remedy this.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a towel dryer of the type mentioned not only so that the hot water circulation is optimized, so the operation both connected to a hot water heating system and with an electric heating cartridge and combined is possible, but also so that it is elegantly constructed from the smallest possible number of individual parts.
  • this object is achieved in that with each of the tubes of a group on its one end face a horizontally extending and on the other hand with that on the same Height arranged pipe of the other group connected pipe connection is connected to the uppermost pipe of one group on the other end face, a manifold that is angled horizontally in the plane of the other group and in the plane of the other group down and to an in essentially vertically extending connecting pipe is connectable, and that with each further pipe of the one group on its other end face an oblique pipe connection is connected and on the other hand connected to the pipe of the other group arranged above it.
  • the entire pipe string is designed such that it can be produced as a single part with one exception: the elbow connected to the uppermost pipe of one group on the other end face must be welded on.
  • This also opens up the possibility of designing the individual groups differently, for example - with the same depth of the towel dryer - changing the radius of the oblique pipe connections and thereby the distance of the straight pipes in the vertical direction; or to let a single one of the horizontally extending pipe connections run obliquely.
  • the design can have technical, performance and optical reasons. Orbital welding is preferred as the weld connection.
  • the connecting tube to the top tube forms the ideal receptacle for an electrical heating cartridge. The warm water rises in this connecting pipe and then passes through the pipes and pipe connections on the way down.
  • the operation of the towel dryer according to the invention is possible both in connection with a hot water heating system and with an electric heating cartridge, or in combination.
  • a towel dryer according to the invention consists of a bent pipe string 1.
  • the pipe string 1 is flowed through by a heating medium.
  • the pipe string 1 consists of straight and curved parts.
  • the straight parts of the pipe string 1 are formed by pipes 2, 5, which are arranged parallel to one another horizontally at a vertical distance, and by a connecting pipe 8.
  • the curved parts of the pipe string 1 are formed by pipe connections 3, 4 between adjacent pipes 2, 5 and by a pipe bend 6 between the uppermost pipe 23 and the connecting pipe 8.
  • the tubes 2, 5 are arranged in two groups in two mutually parallel vertical planes.
  • the tubes are connected within adjacent groups via the tube connections 3, 4.
  • One of the tubes 2 of one group is arranged at the same height as one of the tubes 5 of the other group.
  • the tubes 2.5 and the tube connections 3.4 form a tube register.
  • the pipe string 1 can be composed of more than one pipe register.
  • One of the pipe connections 3, 4 connects to each end face of each pipe 2, 5.
  • the pipe connection 3 is connected on its one end face 21, which runs horizontally and on the other hand is connected to the pipe 5 of the other group, which is arranged at the same height, with its one end face 51.
  • the other pipe connection 4 is connected on its other end face 22, which runs obliquely and on the other hand is connected to the pipe 5 of the other group arranged above it, namely with the other end face 52.
  • the radius of the oblique pipe connections 4 can be changed, even within the same pipe string.
  • Figures 4 and 5 based on Figures 1 and 3 -; reverses larger as the radius increases.
  • the distance of the pipes 2, 5 from one another is too small for hanging and drying large items of laundry, one or more, even at intervals, of the horizontally running pipe connections can take place horizontally opposite run obliquely compared to the pipe connection 3.
  • Such a pipe connection 41 is shown in Figures 6 and 7.
  • the pipe connections 3, 4 are designed as a circular ring.
  • the pipe connections can also be square.
  • the connecting pipe 8 lies in the plane which is determined by the vertices of the pipe connections 4. It expediently remains within an outline which is determined by the vertices of the oblique pipe connections 4 and the pipes 5 of the other group. This is the best solution in terms of both optics and assembly technology.
  • the connecting pipe 8 runs essentially vertically. For reasons of stabilizing the towel dryer, it can be dotted on one or more of the pipe bends 4.
  • the connecting pipe 8 leads to the supply of a hot water heater. An electrically heated cartridge can be accommodated in it.
  • the connecting tube 8 can also be offset at an angle to the vertical and to the center. However, the embodiment shown is preferred.
  • the bottom tube 53 of the other group is free on its other end face 52.
  • the connecting pipe 8 and / or a discharge line of the hot water heater can be connected to this end face.
  • the lowest tube 53 of the other group is welded radially to the connecting tube 8 at its free other end face 52.
  • the connecting pipe 8 When operating the towel dryer alone as part of a hot water heater, the connecting pipe 8 is connected to the inlet. The return takes place via a sleeve radially provided at a distance from the connecting pipe in the lowermost pipe 53. A bypass integrated into the lowermost pipe 53 is provided between the connecting pipe 8 and the sleeve. If the towel dryer is both connected to a hot water heater and operated by an electric heating element when the hot water heater is switched off, the inlet is connected to the socket; the electric heating element is - as described above for purely electrical operation - inserted into the connecting tube 8. The return is then located with the help of a T-piece on the side of the connection for the electric heating element. However, it may be expedient to install the inlet on the connecting pipe 8 and not on the sleeve.
