Abstract

The radiator is especially of the tubular type, with at least two similar base elements (G1,G2,G3) which are arranged beside one another. The elements are welded to one another in their head and foot regions in order to form a circuit, or are connected by nipples (N) in order to make gastight and liquid-tight seals. The heating circuit flows into the radiator at the foot of the first element (G1), and leaves at the foot of the second element (G2). The opening between these elements is closed by a disc (1), which is pressed against the surrounding edge by a separator (2). The separator acts against a sealing plug (VS) which is screwed into an internal thread on the opposite side.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Heizkörper, insbesondere Rohrradiator, aus mindestens zwei gleichartigen Grundelementen, die seitlich nebeneinander angeordnet und an ihrem nabenartigen Kopf- und Fußbereich unter Ausbildung einer kreisförmigen Überströmöffnung durch Verschweißung oder jeweils einen Nippel flüssigkeits- und gasdicht miteinander verbunden sind, wobei ein Grundelement mit einem Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelvorlauf und ein anderes Grundelement mit einem Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelrücklauf versehen ist, zumindest die endseitigen Grundelemente im Kopf- und Fußbereich mit einem Innengewinde für einen Verschlußstopfen bzw. ein Ventilgehäuse versehen sind und das mit dem Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelvorlauf versehene Grundelement in diesem Zulaufbereich gegenüber dem benachbarten Grundelement abgedichtet und im anderen Nabenbereich mit einer Abdichtung für das Ventilgehäuse versehen ist.The invention relates to a radiator, in particular tubular radiator, from at least two similar basic elements, arranged side by side and training on her hub-like head and foot area a circular overflow opening by welding or in each case a nipple are liquid-tight and gas-tight, with one Basic element with a connecting piece for the heating medium flow and a another basic element with a connecting piece for the heating medium return is provided, at least the end basic elements in the header and Foot area with an internal thread for a plug or a Valve housing are provided and that with the connecting piece for the Heating element flow provided basic element in this inlet area opposite sealed the neighboring base element and in the other hub area is provided with a seal for the valve housing.

Heizkörper der voranstehend beschriebenen Art sind in verschiedenen Ausführungen bekannt. Um zu verhindern, daß das über den Anschlußstutzen des einen Grundelementes dem Heizkörper zugeführte Heizmittel unter Umgehung des Heizkörperventils in das benachbarte Grundelement eintritt, ist das mit dem Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelvorlauf versehene Grundelement in diesem Zulaufbereich gegenüber dem benachbarten Grundelement dadurch abgedichtet, daß die Überströmöffnung durch eine Metallscheibe verschlossen ist, die in die Überströmöffnung eingeschweißt wird. Für das Verschließen ist somit ein separater Schweißvorgang erforderlich, der nicht nur einen zusätzlichen Aufwand bedeutet, sondern auch verhältnismäßig schwierig durchzuführen ist, weil er im Inneren des vorzugsweise nabenartigen Fußbereiches ausgeführt werden muß.Radiators of the type described above are in different versions known. To prevent that from the connection piece of the a basic element to the radiator supplied heating bypass of the radiator valve enters the adjacent basic element, that is with the connection piece for the heating medium flow in this inlet area compared to the adjacent basic element sealed that the overflow opening is closed by a metal disc which is welded into the overflow opening. For closing it therefore a separate welding process is required, which is not just an additional one Effort means, but also relatively difficult to carry out is because it runs inside the preferably hub-like foot area must become.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den technischen Aufwand für die Abdichtung der benachbarten Grundelemente im Zulaufbereich des Heizmittels zu verringern.The invention has for its object to reduce the technical effort for sealing the adjacent basic elements in the inlet area of the heating medium.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabenstellung durch die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die kreisförmige Überströmöffnung zwischen dem mit dem Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelvorlauf versehenen Grundelement und dem benachbarten Grundelement durch eine Scheibe verschlossen ist, die mittels eines Distanzstückes durch den in das gegenüberliegende Innengewinde eingeschraubten Verschlußstopfen dichtend an den die Überströmöffnung umgebenden Rand angepreßt wird.The solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that the circular overflow opening between the base element provided with the connecting piece for the heating medium flow and the adjacent base element is closed by a washer which seals by means of a spacer by the sealing plug screwed into the opposite internal thread the edge surrounding the overflow opening is pressed.

Durch diesen erfindungsgemäßen Vorschlag entfällt der bisher erforderliche zusätzliche Schweißvorgang zum Abdichten benachbarter Grundelemente im Zulaufbereich des Heizmittels. Anstelle dieses Schweißvorganges wird bei der Montage des Heizkörpers eine lose Scheibe in das mit dem Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelvorlauf versehene Grundelement eingelegt und mittels des zum Verschließen der stirnseitigen Öffnung sowieso notwendigen Verschlußstopfens mit Hilfe eines Distanzstückes derart an den die zu verschließende Überströmöffnung umgebenden Rand angepreßt, daß die im Bereich dieser Überströmöffnung miteinander verschweißten Grundelemente gegeneinander abgedichtet sind. Da der Abdichtvorgang lediglich ein zusätzliches Distanzstück erfordert, das bisher erforderliche Einschweißen einer Scheibe jedoch entbehrlich macht, verringert sich der technische Aufwand gegenüber der bisher bekannten Konstruktion auf etwa 10 %.This proposal according to the invention eliminates the previously required additional welding process for sealing adjacent basic elements in the Inlet area of the heating medium. Instead of this welding process, the Assemble the radiator with a loose washer in the connector for the heating medium flow provided basic element inserted and by means of for closing the front opening anyway necessary sealing plug with the help of a spacer to the one to be closed Overflow opening surrounding edge pressed that in the area of this Overflow opening welded basic elements against each other are sealed. Since the sealing process is only an additional spacer requires, however, the previously required welding of a pane makes dispensable, the technical effort is reduced compared to the previous known construction to about 10%.

Da auch das in das mit dem Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelvorlauf versehene Grundelement einzusetzende Ventilgehäuse gegenüber der kreisförmigen Öffnung im Überströmbereich zwischen diesem Grundelement und dem benachbarten Grundelement abgedichtet werden muß, wird gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, die Abdichtung durch einen Ring vorzunehmen, der durch einen endseitigen Bund des Ventilgehäuses zentriert und dichtend an den die Überströmöffnung umgebenden Rand angepreßt wird. Since also in the provided with the connecting piece for the heating medium flow Valve housing to be used as a basic element compared to the circular one Opening in the overflow area between this basic element and the neighboring one Basic element must be sealed, according to another Feature of the invention proposed sealing by a ring make that centered by an end collar of the valve housing and is sealingly pressed against the edge surrounding the overflow opening.

Auf diese Weise entfällt auch ein Schweißvorgang für das Einsetzen einer Büchse im Übergang zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Grundelement. Da der erfindungsgemäße Ring auf einfache Weise durch einen am Ventilgehäuse ausgebildeten Bund einerseits zentriert und andererseits dichtend an den die Überströmöffnung umgebenden Rand zwischen den beiden benachbarten Grundelementen angepreßt werden kann, ergibt sich somit bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung auch insoweit eine erhebliche Reduzierung des Herstellungsaufwandes.In this way, there is also no welding process for inserting one Bush in the transition between the first and second basic element. Since the ring according to the invention in a simple manner by a on the valve housing trained collar on the one hand and on the other hand sealing to the Overflow opening surrounding edge between the two neighboring Basic elements can be pressed, thus results in the In this respect, the design according to the invention is also significantly reduced the manufacturing effort.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausbildung der Erfindung besteht die Scheibe bzw. der Ring aus dauerelastischem Material, vorzugsweise aus Gummi oder gummiartigem Kunststoff. Das Distanzstück zur Festlegung der Scheibe wird vorzugsweise als Rohr ausgebildet.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the disc or the Ring made of permanently elastic material, preferably made of rubber or rubber-like Plastic. The spacer for fixing the disc is preferred designed as a tube.

Um eine zuverlässige Abdichtung des Ventilgehäuses gegenüber der kreisförmigen Öffnung im Überströmbereich zwischen dem mit dem Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelvorlauf versehenen Grundelement und dem benachbarten Grundelement zu erzielen, wird bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung der endseitige Bund des Ventilgehäuses mit einer kegelförmigen Mantelfläche und einer ringförmigen Übergangsfläche ausgeführt. Die kegelförmige Mantelfläche ergibt hierbei eine zuverlässige Zentrierung, die ringförmige Übergangsfläche eine zuverlässige Anpressung des Ringes an den Rand der Überströmöffnung.To reliably seal the valve body against the circular Opening in the overflow area between the one with the connection piece for the heating element flow and the neighboring element To achieve the basic element is in a preferred embodiment Invention of the end collar of the valve housing with a conical Shell surface and an annular transition surface executed. The conical The lateral surface provides a reliable centering, the ring-shaped Transition surface a reliable pressure of the ring on the edge the overflow opening.

Um unter Verwendung eines Standardelements für den Anschluß des Heizkörpers an die Heizmittelleitungen durch Ansetzen beliebig vieler weiterer Grundelemente Heizkörper unterschiedlicher Wärmeleistung herstellen zu können, wird mit der Erfindung weiterhin vorgeschlagen, das dem mit dem Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelvorlauf versehenen Grundelement unmittelbar benachbarte Grundelement mit dem Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelrücklauf zu versehen. Hierdurch ergibt sich unabhängig von der jeweiligen Anzahl der Grundelemente des Heizkörpers stets dasselbe Standardelement für den Anschluß des Heizkörpers an die Heizmittelleitungen. Über die Anzahl der zusätzlichen Grundelemente wird die für den jeweiligen Einzelfall benötigte Heizleistung bestimmt. Insgesamt ergibt sich durch diese erfindungsgemäße Weiterbildung eine Reduzierung der Lagerhaltung bei gleichzeitiger Vereinfachung der Herstellung von Heizkörpern mit unterschiedlicher Heizleistung.To use a standard element for connecting the radiator to the heating medium lines by adding any number of additional basic elements To be able to produce radiators with different heat outputs, is further proposed with the invention, that with the connecting piece for the heating element flow provided basic element immediately adjacent Basic element with the connection piece for the heating medium return to provide. This results in regardless of the number of Basic elements of the radiator always the same standard element for the connection the radiator to the heating medium pipes. About the number of additional The basic elements are the heating output required for each individual case certainly. Overall, this development according to the invention results a reduction in inventory while simplifying it the production of radiators with different heating capacities.

Sofern die Grundelemente jeweils aus zwei Kopfstücken und mindestens einem Verbindungsrohr bestehen, wird gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, die Grundelemente am Rand ihrer kreisförmigen Überströmöffnungen miteinander zu verschweißen und an der Innenseite ihrer freien Öffnungen jeweils mit einem Gewindering zum Einschrauben eines Ventilgehäuses, eines Verschlußstopfens oder eines Schraubnippels für den Anschluß mindestens eines weiteren Grundelementes zu versehen.Provided that the basic elements each consist of two head pieces and at least consist of a connecting pipe, is according to a further feature of Invention proposed the basic elements on the edge of their circular Overflow openings to weld together and on the inside of their free openings each with a threaded ring for screwing in a Valve housing, a sealing plug or a screw nipple for the Connection of at least one other basic element.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Ventilgehäuse zur Aufnahme des Oberteils eines Thermostatventils ausgebildet.In a preferred embodiment, the valve housing is for receiving the upper part of a thermostatic valve.

Schließlich wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, den Anschlußstutzen für den Heizmittelvorlauf bzw. Heizmittelrücklauf als ein mit Innengewinde versehenes, in den Fußbereich des jeweiligen Grundelementes eingeschweißtes Rohrstück auszubilden. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine besonders einfache Ausbildung für den Anschlußstutzen.Finally, the invention proposes the connecting piece for the heating medium flow or heating medium return as an internally threaded welded into the foot area of the respective basic element Train pipe section. This results in a particularly simple training for the connecting piece.

Bei dem in den Figuren 1 bis 4 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Heizkörper aus insgesamt neun Grundelementen G1 bis G9. Jedes Grundelement G1 bis G9 besteht aus zwei Kopfstücken K1 und K2, die beispielsweise jeweils aus zwei Halbschalen hergestellt und miteinander durch zwei Verbindungsrohre V1 und V2 verbunden sind. Hierdurch ergeben sich preiswert herzustellende Grundelemente, wobei die Kopfstücke K1 und K2 selbstverständlich auch nur durch ein oder durch mehr als zwei Verbindungsrohre V1 und V2 miteinander verbunden sein können.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4, the Radiators consisting of a total of nine basic elements G1 to G9. Every basic element G1 to G9 consists of two headers K1 and K2, for example each made of two half-shells and connected to each other by two connecting pipes V1 and V2 are connected. This results in inexpensive to manufacture Basic elements, the headers K1 and K2 being self-evident also only through one or more than two connecting pipes V1 and V2 can be connected to each other.

Jedes Grundelement G1 bis G9 hat einen nabenartigen Kopf- und Fußbereich, in dem zwei einander gegenüberliegende kreisförmige Überströmöffnungen U ausgebildet sind. In dem diese Überströmöffnungen U umgebenden Randbereich sind die Grundelemente G1 bis G9 miteinander flüssigkeitsdicht verbunden.Each basic element G1 to G9 has a hub-like head and foot area, in which two opposite circular overflow openings U are trained. In the edge area surrounding these overflow openings U. the basic elements G1 to G9 are connected to one another in a liquid-tight manner.

Diese Verbindung benachbarter Grundelemente G1 bis G9 erfolgt entweder durch unmittelbares Verschweißen der die Überströmöffnungen U umgebenden Ränder oder durch eingeschweißte Gewinderinge R, die mit Hilfe eines mit gegenläufigem Gewinde versehenen Schraubnippel N miteinander verbunden werden. Das unmittelbare Verschweißen benachbarter Grundelemente G1 bis G9 ist in Fig. 3 durch die Schweißnaht S zwischen den Grundelementen G1 und G2 und in Fig. 4 durch die Schweißnaht S zwischen den Grundelementen G3 und G4 dargestellt. Das Einschweißen der Gewinderinge R ist bezüglich der Grundelemente G2 und G3 sowohl in Fig. 3 als auch in Fig. 4 dargestellt.This connection of adjacent basic elements G1 to G9 takes place either by directly welding the ones surrounding the overflow openings U. Edges or by welded-in threaded rings R, which are made using a screw thread N provided with opposite thread will. The immediate welding of adjacent basic elements G1 to G9 is in Fig. 3 by the weld S between the basic elements G1 and G2 and in Fig. 4 by the weld S between the basic elements G3 and G4 shown. The welding of the threaded rings R is related of the basic elements G2 and G3 both in FIG. 3 and in FIG. 4.

Um unabhängig von der Anzahl der Grundelemente ein Standardelement für den Anschluß des Heizkörpers an die Heizmittelleitungen zu schaffen, ist das jeweils erste Grundelement G1 in seinem nabenartigen Fußbereich mit einem Anschlußstutzen AV versehen, der als ein mit Innengewinde versehenes, in das Grundelement G1 eingeschweißtes Rohrstück ausgebildet ist. Das diesem Grundelement G1 benachbarte, mit ihm durch Schweißnähte S im Bereich der Überströmöffnungen U verbundene Grundelement G2 ist im Fußbereich mit einem Anschlußstück AR für den Rücklauf des Heizmittels versehen. Auf diese Weise bilden die beiden Grundelemente G1 und G2 ein Standardelement für den Anschluß des jeweiligen Heizkörpers, und zwar unabhängig davon, wieviele weitere Grundelemente G3 bis G9 an das Grundelement G2 angeschlossen sind. Der Anschluß erfolgt - wie in Fig. 1 erkennbar - vorzugsweise durch zwei Schraubnippel N, die in Gewinderinge R des Grundelementes G2 und G3 eingreifen, wogegen die restlichen Grundelemente G3 bis G9 miteinander durch Schweißnähte S im Bereich ihrer Überströmöffnungen U miteinander flüssigkeitsdicht verbunden sind.In order to create a standard element for connecting the radiator to the heating medium lines regardless of the number of basic elements, the first basic element G1 is provided in its hub-like foot region with a connecting piece A V , which is provided as an internally threaded pipe piece welded into the basic element G1 is trained. The basic element G1 adjacent to this basic element G1 and connected to it by weld seams S in the area of the overflow openings U is provided in the foot area with a connector A R for the return of the heating medium. In this way, the two basic elements G1 and G2 form a standard element for the connection of the respective radiator, regardless of how many further basic elements G3 to G9 are connected to the basic element G2. The connection is - as can be seen in Fig. 1 - preferably by two screw nipples N which engage in threaded rings R of the base element G2 and G3, whereas the remaining base elements G3 to G9 are connected to one another by welds S in the area of their overflow openings U in a liquid-tight manner.

Auch in die jeweils freien Überströmöffnungen U des Grundelementes G1 und des Grundelementes G9 sind Gewinderinge R eingeschweißt. In diese Gewinderinge R des letzten Grundelementes G9 und in den Gewindering R im Fußbereich des Grundelementes G1 wird jeweils ein Verschlußstopfen VS eingeschraubt, wobei der Verschlußstopfen VS im Kopfbereich des Grundelementes G9 mit einer Öffnung für den Einsatz eines Entlüftungsventils versehen sein kann.Also in the respective free overflow openings U of the base element G1 and of the basic element G9 threaded rings R are welded in. In these threaded rings R of the last basic element G9 and in the threaded ring R in the foot area of the basic element G1, a sealing plug VS is screwed in, the plug VS in the head region of the base element G9 must be provided with an opening for the use of a vent valve can.

Um ein Überströmen des durch den Anschlußstutzen AV für den Vorlauf eintretenden Heizmittels in den Fußbereich des Grundelementes G2 zu verhindern, ist die kreisförmige Überströmöffnung U im Fußbereich dieser beiden Grundelemente G1 und G2 durch eine Scheibe 1 verschlossen, die mittels eines Distanzstückes 2 durch den in den Gewindering R eingeschraubten Verschlußstopfen VS dichtend an den die Überströmöffnung U umgebenden Rand angepreßt wird. Die Scheibe 1 besteht aus dauerelastischem Material, vorzugsweise aus Gummi oder gummiartigem Kunststoff. Sie bildet auf diese Weise einen flüssigkeitsdichten Verschluß zwischen dem Fußbereich der beiden benachbarten Grundelemente G1 und G2. Das Distanzstück 2 ist vorzugsweise als Rohr ausgebildet.In order to prevent an overflow of the heating medium entering through the connecting piece A V for the flow into the foot area of the basic element G2, the circular overflow opening U in the foot area of these two basic elements G1 and G2 is closed by a disc 1, which by means of a spacer 2 through the in the threaded ring R screwed sealing plug VS is pressed sealingly against the edge surrounding the overflow opening U. The disc 1 consists of permanently elastic material, preferably of rubber or rubber-like plastic. In this way, it forms a liquid-tight seal between the foot region of the two adjacent basic elements G1 and G2. The spacer 2 is preferably designed as a tube.

Durch die Verwendung einer derartigen Scheibe 1 und eines rohrförmigen Distanzstückes 2 wird beim Einschrauben des sowieso notwendigen Verschlußstopfens VS auf einfache Weise und ohne die Notwendigkeit zusätzlicher Schweißvorgänge eine flüssigkeitsdichte Abdichtung zwischen den Fußbereichen der beiden benachbarten Grundelemente G1 und G2 erreicht, so daß die gesamte Menge des durch den Anschlußstutzen AV für den Vorlauf eintretenden Heizmittels im Grundelement G1 nach oben strömt.By using such a washer 1 and a tubular spacer 2, when screwing in the sealing plug VS, which is necessary anyway, a liquid-tight seal between the base regions of the two adjacent basic elements G1 and G2 is achieved in a simple manner and without the need for additional welding processes, so that the entire amount of flows through the connecting piece A V for the flow of heating medium entering the base element G1 upwards.

Im Kopfbereich dieses Grundelementes G1 ist ein Ventilgehäuse 3 angeordnet, das im Längsschnitt in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist und vorzugsweise zur Aufnahme eines Thermostatventils dient. Das Einschrauben dieses Ventilgehäuses 3 in den Kopfbereich des Grundelements G1 erfolgt mit Hilfe des eingeschweißten Gewinderinges R unter Zwischenfügen einer Dichtung D. Am freien Ende des Ventilgehäuses 3 ist ein Bund 3a ausgebildet, der eine kegelförmige Mantelfläche und eine radial verlaufende, ringförmige Übergangsfläche bildet. Mit diesen beiden Flächen greift der Bund 3a in einen aus dauerelastischem Material, vorzugsweise Gummi oder gummiartigem Kunststoff hergestellten Ring 4 ein, der auf diese Weise einerseits zentriert und andererseits dichtend an den die Überströmöffnung U umgebenden Rand des mit dem Grundelement G2 durch eine Schweißnaht S verbundenen Grundelementes G1 angepreßt wird. Hierdurch erfolgt nicht nur eine Lagefixierung des innenliegenden Endes des Ventilgehäuses 3, sondern eine Abdichtung des Ventilgehäuses 3 gegenüber dem Kopfbereich des Grundelementes G1. Es wird somit sichergestellt, daß das Heizmittel ausschließlich durch das Ventilgehäuse 3 aus dem Kopfbereich des Grundelementes G1 in den Kopfbereich des Grundelementes G2 eintreten kann.A valve housing 3 is arranged in the head region of this basic element G1, which is shown in longitudinal section in Fig. 4 and preferably for recording a thermostatic valve. Screwing this valve housing 3 in the head area of the basic element G1 is made with the help of the welded-in part Threaded ring R with the interposition of a seal D. At the free end of the Valve housing 3 is formed a collar 3a, which has a conical outer surface and forms a radially extending, annular transition surface. With these the federal government 3a grips both surfaces in one made of permanently elastic material, preferably rubber or rubber-like plastic ring 4, which is centered in this way on the one hand and on the other hand sealing to the Overflow opening U surrounding the edge of the base element G2 a weld S connected basic element G1 is pressed. Hereby not only is the position of the inner end of the valve housing fixed 3, but a seal of the valve housing 3 against the Head area of the basic element G1. It is thus ensured that the Heating medium only through the valve housing 3 from the head area of the Enter basic element G1 in the head area of basic element G2 can.

Mit der voranstehend beschriebenen Konstruktion wird somit ohne zusätzliche Schweißvorgänge eine Abdichtung der das Standardelement bildenden Grundelemente G1 und G2 im Bereich der Anschlußstutzen AV und AR und eine Abdichtung des Ventilgehäuses 3 im Kopfbereich der Grundelemente G1 und G2 erreicht, und zwar durch Verwendung der aus dauerelastischem Material bestehenden Scheibe 1 bzw. des aus dauerelastischem Material bestehenden Ringes 4, wobei beide Teile durch Einschrauben des Verschlußstopfens VS bzw. des Ventilgehäuses 3 ihre Lage einnehmen und ihre Funktion ausüben. Ob und wieviele zusätzliche Grundelemente G3 bis G9 an das durch die Grundelemente G1 und G2 gebildete Standardelement mit Hilfe von Schraubnippeln N angefügt werden, hängt von der Heizleistung ab, die vom jeweiligen Heizkörper gefordert wird. With the construction described above, sealing of the basic elements G1 and G2 forming the standard element in the area of the connecting pieces A V and A R and sealing of the valve housing 3 in the head area of the basic elements G1 and G2 is thus achieved, without using additional welding processes, by using the permanently elastic material disc 1 or the ring made of permanently elastic material 4, both parts assuming their position and performing their function by screwing in the sealing plug VS or the valve housing 3. Whether and how many additional basic elements G3 to G9 are added to the standard element formed by basic elements G1 and G2 with the help of screw nipples N depends on the heating power required by the respective radiator.
