Abstract

The towel dryer is formed from a curved section (1) of tubes which consists of straight tubes (2; 5) and curved tube connections (3; 4), and through which a heating medium flows. The straight tubes (2; 5) are arranged within one of two groups, spaced apart horizontally, and each group is arranged in one of two parallel vertical planes. Connected to each of the tubes (2) of the one group, at its one end side (21), is a horizontally extending, curved tube connection (3) which is connected at the other side to a tube (5) of the other group arranged at the same height. Connected to the uppermost tube (23) of the one group, at its other end side (22), is an elbow (6) which runs horizontally into the plane of the other group, is bent downwards in said plane and can be connected to a connecting tube (8). Connected to each further tube (2) of the one group, at its other end side (22), is an obliquely extending tube connection (4) which is connected at the other side to the tube (5) of the other group arranged above it. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Handtuchtrockner mit einem von einem Heizmedium durchströmten, gebogenen Rohrstrang aus geraden Rohren und gekrümmten Rohrverbindungen, von denen die geraden Rohre innerhalb einer von zwei Gruppen horizontal im Abstand untereinander, jede Gruppe in einer von zwei parallelen vertikalen Ebenen und jeweils zwei Rohre der beiden Gruppen auf derselben Höhe angeordnet sind, und von denen die gekrümmten Rohrverbindungen mit jeweils benachbarten Rohren verbunden sind.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 at a distance 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.

Handtuchtrockner und -halter der vorgenannten Art werden vor allem im Sanitärbereich eingesetzt. Bei ihnen werden Handtücher, Badetücher und ähnliche Wäsche- und Kleidungsstücke über die Rohre gehängt, gehalten und getrocknet. Außerdem heizen sie - in Grenzen - den Raum, in dem sie angeordnet sind.Towel dryers and holders of the aforementioned type are mainly used in the sanitary area. With them, towels, bath towels and similar laundry and clothing items are hung over the pipes, held and dried. They also heat - within limits - the space in which they are arranged.

Es sind Handtuchtrockner bekannt, deren Rohrstrang mäanderförmig gebogen ist. Die gekrümmten Rohrverbindungen gehen jeweils in die Stirnseiten des oberhalb und des unterhalb benachbarten Rohres derselben Gruppe über. Bei einem bekannten Handtuchtrockner (vgl. DE 88 11 488 U1) schließt an das oberste Rohr der einen Gruppe an der einen Stirnseite eine von unten kommende Rohrverbindung und an der anderen Stirnseite eine nach unten gehende Rohrverbindung an, die außerdem in die Ebene der Rohre der zweiten Gruppe gebogen ist. Bei einem anderen bekannten Handtuchtrockner (vgl. DE 89 03 146 U1) ist an das oberste Rohr der einen Gruppe an der Stirnseite eine von unten kommende, andererseits mit dem darunter angeordneten Rohr derselben Gruppe verbundene Rohrverbindung und an der anderen Stirnseite eine horizontal verlaufende, bis im wesentlichen in die Ebene der zweiten Gruppe reichende Rohrverbindung angeschlossen. Die bekannten Handtuchtrockner sind für den Anschluß an eine Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage vorgesehen. Die in der Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage vorhandene Pumpe bewirkt auch den Wasserumlauf in dem Handtuchtrockner. Soll der Handtuchtrockner losgelöst von der Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage als einzelner Körper betrieben werden, der durch eine elektrisch gespeiste Heizpatrone mit Energie versorgt ist, ist der Warmwasser-Umlauf möglicherweise nicht gewährleistet.Towel dryers are known, the pipe string 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. In 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. In another known towel dryer (see. DE 89 03 146 U1) is on the top tube of the one group on the end face a coming from below, on the other hand connected to the tube of the same group arranged below, and on the other end face a horizontally extending, until pipe connection connected essentially 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 towel 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.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Handtuchtrockner der eingangs genannten Art nicht nur so auszubilden, daß der Warmwasser-Umlauf optimiert ist, also der Betrieb sowohl angeschlossen an eine Warmwasser-Heinzungsanlage als auch mit einer elektrischen Heizpatrone als auch kombiniert möglich ist, sondern auch so, daß er aus einer möglichst geringen Zahl von Einzelteilen formschön aufgebaut ist. Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß mit jedem der Rohre der einen Gruppe an seiner einen Stirnseite eine horizontal verlaufende und andererseits mit dem auf derselben Höhe angeordneten Rohr der anderen Gruppe verbundene Rohrverbindung verbunden ist, daß mit dem obersten Rohr der einen Gruppe an der anderen Stirnseite ein Krümmer verbunden ist, der horizontal in die Ebene der anderen Gruppe und in der Ebene der anderen Gruppe nach unten abgewinkelt und an ein im wesentlichen vertikal verlaufendes Verbindungsrohr anschließbar ist, und daß mit jedem weiteren Rohr der einen Gruppe an seiner anderen Stirnseite eine schräg verlaufende und andererseits mit dem darüber angeordneten Rohr der anderen Gruppe verbundene Rohrverbindung verbunden ist.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. According to the invention, 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 is connected to an elbow that is angled horizontally into the plane of the other group and in the plane of the other group and down to an in essentially vertically extending connecting pipe can be connected, 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.

Bei der Erfindung ist der gesamte Rohrstrang so ausgebildet, daß er als ein einheitliches Teil herstellbar ist mit einer Ausnahme: Der mit dem obersten Rohr der einen Gruppe an der anderen Stirnseite verbundene Krümmer muß angeschweißt werden. Außerdem empfiehlt es sich, insbesondere wenn der Handtuchtrockner eine bestimmte Zahl von Rohren übersteigt, zwei oder mehr Gruppen herzustellen und zu dem Handtuchtrockner zu verschweißen. Dies eröffnet zudem die Möglichkeit, die einzelnen Gruppen unterschiedlich zu gestalten, z.B. - bei gleichbleibender Bautiefe des Handtuchtrockners - den Radius der schräg verlaufenden Rohrverbindungen und dadurch den Abstand der geraden Rohre in Vertikalrichtung zu verändern; oder auch eine einzelne der an sich horizontal verlaufenden Rohrverbindungen schräg verlaufen zu lassen. Die Gestaltung kann sowohl handhabungstechnische, als auch leistungsmäßige als auch optische Gründe haben. Als Schweißverbindung wird eine Orbital-Schweißung bevorzugt. Das Verbindungsrohr zu dem obersten Rohr bildet die ideale Aufnahme für eine elektrische Heizpatrone. In diesem Verbindungsrohr steigt das warme Wasser auf, um dann die Rohre und Rohrverbindungen auf dem Weg nach unten zu passieren.In the invention, 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. In addition, it is advisable, especially if the towel dryer exceeds a certain number of tubes, to produce two or more groups and to weld them to the towel dryer. 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 both handling, performance and visual reasons. Orbital welding is preferred as the welded joint. The connecting tube to the top tube forms the ideal receptacle for an electric heating cartridge. The warm water rises in this connecting pipe and then passes through the pipes and pipe connections on the way down.

Der Betrieb des Handtuchtrockners nach der Erfindung ist sowohl im Anschluß an eine Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage als auch mit einer elektrischen Heizpatrone betrieben als auch kombiniert möglich.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.

Ein Handtuchtrockner nach der Erfindung besteht aus einem gebogenen Rohrstrang 1. Der Rohrstrang 1 ist von einem Heizmedium durchflossen. Der Rohrstrang 1 besteht aus geraden und gekrümmten Teilen. Die geraden Teile des Rohrstrangs 1 sind von Rohren 2,5, die in vertikalem Abstand parallel zueinander horizontal angeordnet sind, und von einem Verbindungsrohr 8 gebildet. Die gekrümmten Teile des Rohrstrangs 1 sind von Rohrverbindungen 3,4 zwischen jeweils benachbarten Rohren 2,5 sowie von einem Rohrkrümmer 6 zwischen dem obersten Rohr 23 und dem Verbindungsrohr 8 gebildet.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.

Die Rohre 2,5 sind in zwei zueinander parallelen benachbarten vertikalen Ebenen in zwei Gruppen angeordnet. Die Rohre sind innerhalb benachbarter Gruppen über die Rohrverbindungen 3,4 verbunden. Jeweils eines der Rohre 2 der einen Gruppe ist auf derselben Höhe angeordnet wie eines der Rohre 5 der anderen Gruppe. Die Rohre 2,5 und die Rohrverbindungen 3,4 bilden ein Rohrregister. Der Rohrstrang 1 kann aus mehr als einem Rohrregister zusammengesetzt sein.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.

An jede Stirnseite jedes Rohres 2,5 schließt eine der Rohrbindungen 3,4 an. Mit jedem der Rohre 2 der einen Gruppe ist an seiner einen Stirnseite 21 die Rohrverbindung 3 verbunden, die horizontal verläuft und andererseits mit dem auf derselben Höhe angeordneten Rohr 5 der anderen Gruppe, und zwar mit dessen einen Stirnseite 51, verbunden ist. Mit jedem Rohr 2 der einen Gruppe ist an seiner anderen Stirnseite 22 die andere Rohrverbindung 4 verbunden, die schräg verläuft und andererseits mit dem darüber angeordneten Rohr 5 der anderen Gruppe, und zwar mit der anderen Stirnseite 52, verbunden ist.One of the pipe connections 3, 4 connects to each end face of each pipe 2, 5. With each of the pipes 2 of the one group, 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, namely with its one end face 51. With each pipe 2 of the one group, 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, specifically with the other end face 52.

Der Radius der schräg verlaufenden Rohrverbindungen 4 ist, auch innerhalb desselben Rohrstrangs, veränderbar. Gleiche Bautiefe des Handtuchtrockners, also gleicher Abstand der Rohre 2 und 5 in Horizontalrichtung, vorausgesetzt wird bei kleiner werdendem Radius der Abstand der Rohre 2, 5 in Vertikalrichtung voneinander kleiner - vgl. Fig. 4 und 5 bezogen auf Fig. 1 und 3 -; umkehrt bei größer werdendem Radius größer. Auch kann, wenn der Abstand der Rohre 2, 5 voneinander für das Aufhängen und Trocknen großer Wäschestücke zu gering ist, eine oder mehrere, auch in Abständen, der horizontal verlaufenden Rohrverbindungen statt horizontal entgegengesetzt gleich schräg verglichen mit der Rohrverbindung 3 verlaufen. Eine solche Rohrverbindung 41 ist in den Figuren 6 und 7 dargestellt.The radius of the oblique pipe connections 4 can be changed, even within the same pipe string. The same depth of the towel dryer, that is, the same distance between the tubes 2 and 5 in the horizontal direction, provided that as the radius becomes smaller, the distance between the tubes 2, 5 in the vertical direction becomes smaller - cf. FIGS. 4 and 5 with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 -; reverses larger as the radius increases. Also, if 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 run horizontally opposite the same obliquely compared to the pipe connection 3. Such a pipe connection 41 is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

In den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Rohrverbindungen 3,4 als Kreisring ausgebildet. Die Rohrverbindungen können auch eckig ausgeführt sein.In the exemplary embodiments shown, the pipe connections 3, 4 are designed as a circular ring. The pipe connections can also be square.

Mit dem obersten Rohr 23 der einen Gruppe ist an der anderen Stirnseite 22 nicht eine der Rohrverbindungen 4, sondern der Krümmer 6 verbunden. Der Krümmer 6 ist in die Ebene der anderen Gruppe mit den Rohren 5 und in dieser Ebene nach unten abgewinkelt. Der nach unten abgewinkelte Teil des Krümmers 6 geht in das Verbindungsrohr 8 über. Das Verbindungsrohr 8 liegt in der Ebene, die von den Scheiteln der Rohrverbindungen 4 bestimmt ist. Es verbleibt zweckmäßig innerhalb eines Umrisses, der von den Scheiteln der schrägen Rohrverbindungen 4 und den Rohren 5 der anderen Gruppe bestimmt ist. Sowohl optisch als auch montagetechnisch ist dies die beste Lösung. Das Verbindungsrohr 8 verläuft im wesentlichen vertikal. Es kann aus Gründen der Stabilisierung des Handtuchtrockners an einen oder mehrere der Rohrbögen 4 angepunktet sein. Das Verbindungsrohr 8 führt zu der Zuleitung einer Warmwasser-Heizung. In ihm ist eine elektrisch beheizbare Patrone unterbringbar. Das Verbindungsrohr 8 kann auch unter einem Winkel zu der Senkrechten und zur Mitte versetzt verlaufen. Bevorzugt wird jedoch die dargestellte Ausführung.With the uppermost pipe 23 of one group, not one of the pipe connections 4 but the elbow 6 is connected on the other end face 22. The manifold 6 is angled into the plane of the other group with the tubes 5 and downwards in this plane. The downwardly angled part of the elbow 6 merges into the connecting pipe 8. 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 line of a hot water heater. An electrically heated cartridge can be accommodated in it. The connecting pipe 8 can also be offset at an angle to the vertical and to the center. However, the embodiment shown is preferred.

Das unterste Rohr 53 der anderen Gruppe ist an seiner anderen Stirnseite 52 frei. An diese Stirnseite ist das Verbindungsrohr 8 und/oder ein Abführungsstrang der Warmwasser-Heizung anschließbar.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.

Zu diesem Zweck wird das unterste Rohr 53 der anderen Gruppe an seiner freien anderen Stirnseite 52 radial an das Verbindungsrohr 8 geschweißt.For this purpose, the lowest tube 53 of the other group is welded radially to the connecting tube 8 at its free other end face 52.

Bei rein elektrischem Betrieb des Handtuchtrockners braucht nur noch ein Elektro-Heizstab in das Verbindungsrohr 8 eingebracht zu werden. Beim Betrieb des Handtuchtrockners allein als Bestandteil einer Warmwasser-Heizung ist das Verbindungsrohr 8 mit dem Zulauf verbunden. Der Rücklauf erfolgt über eine im Abstand von dem Verbindungsrohr in dem untersten Rohr 53 radial vorgesehene Muffe. Zwischen dem Verbindungsrohr 8 und der Muffe ist ein in das unterste Rohr 53 integrierter Bypass vorgesehen. Wird der Handtuchtrockner sowohl angeschlossen an eine Warmwasser-Heizung als auch bei abgeschalteter Warmwasser-Heizung durch einen Elektro-Heizstab betrieben, ist der Zulauf mit der Muffe verbunden; der Elektro-Heizstab ist - wie vorstehend bei rein elektrischem Betrieb beschrieben - in das Verbindungsrohr 8 eingebracht. Der Rücklauf befindet sich dann mit Hilfe eines T-Stücks seitlich von dem Anschluß für den Elektro-Heizstab. Es kann jedoch zweckmäßig sein, den Zulauf an dem Verbindungsrohr 8 und nicht an der Muffe zu installieren.With purely electrical operation of the towel dryer, only an electric heating element needs to be inserted into the connecting tube 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 pipe 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.
