Description

description

Integral heating device as well as control or thermostat equipment therefor

The invention relates to a heating device according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and a thermostatic valve and a thermostatic head, in particular for realizing the heating device.

Heating devices, in particular for central heating systems, are known which have at least one heating element, preferably a heating plate, the heating device being associated with a forward and a return. A valve device for controlling the inflow and discharge of a heating medium to the known heating device and an adjusting device for adjusting the flow cross-section through the valve device are also generally provided, the valve device and the adjusting device generally being combined as a thermostatic valve are.

Known heating devices of this type have the thermostatic valve either at the upper or the lower lateral end, the thermostatic valve generally either looking through an essentially flat front cladding of the heating device or else being arranged laterally offset on the flow or return of the heating device. The thermostatic valve or its actuating device generally protrudes from the known heating device for handling reasons, so that an optical image of the heating device is obtained which is aesthetically worthy of improvement. If the thermostatic valve is hidden at the bottom behind a covering of the radiator, it is difficult to make a different setting.

In addition, it is generally necessary in the known heating devices to deliver the heating device, for example in the form of a plate heater, separately from armature parts and a thermostatic valve, these having to be assembled at a construction site to form a functional unit. There are often logistical problems here, and errors, such as leaks and the like, are not uncommon when assembling a panel radiator or the like at a construction site. Thermostat valves and fittings, which have either been delivered for assembly or have to be stored temporarily because no radiators have yet been delivered, are often stolen at the construction site.

Most known thermostatic valves require free access for manual operation. Some electrically or electrothermally controlled thermostatic valves, which are rarely used due to their price, require a lot of space or a large technical effort to be able to be operated. The known thermostatic valves generally have to be arranged in the upper region of a heating device, since they permit remote control with difficulty only without the use of a complex electric motor and a controller assigned to this electric motor.

The well-known thermostatic head has a volume with a thermostatic material that moves the valve plate of a valve via its thermal expansion and opens or closes the valve according to the temperature.

The G 93 04 346.5 shows a thermostatic valve that can be operated from a remote area on a radiator. Here is a Bowden cable from one Control knob operated from an upper section of a radiator, a valve on a lower region of the radiator, which valve can also have a thermostatic section. The mechanical connection between the Bowden cable and the valve bwz. the thermostatic head is made from above. However, the Bowden cable works with a problematic hysteresis, which is both heat-dependent and age-dependent. In practice, this arrangement has been rejected. The use of a capillary as a hydraulic connection is also problematic since, in particular, the cost of a capillary can make up several times the cost of a thermostatic valve.

DE 44 12 226 AI shows a control arrangement for a valve, which comprises a cam, which is controlled by an electric motor so that a valve is relieved or loaded in accordance with the adjustment of the cam by the flow cross section through the valve to influence. This arrangement has several major disadvantages. Thus, in addition to the unacceptable costs, it is crucial that transverse forces act on the valve tappet of the valve plate, which lead to problematic wear after only a few ten thousand strokes of the valve plate, while at least approximately 1 million strokes have to be coped with in the required service life of a valve. When adjusting a thermostatic valve, forces between approx. 40 and 120 Nm must be applied. If lateral forces occur during adjustment, this can lead to very considerable wear and tear.

DE 29 41 735 AI shows a remote control for a valve, the remote control responding to the opening or closing of a window or door leaf by regulating the valve due to the opening of the door or window, for example closing it. It is also possible to make a regulation due to the drop in temperature by opening a window.

The G 85 15 179.3 shows the use of a wedge as an actuator to perform valve control in response to the degree of opening for a window. It is the object of the present invention to remedy the disadvantages of known heating devices, thermostatic valves or thermostatic heads as far as possible. In particular, an integrated heating device is to be created, which makes it possible to deliver it in a fully assembled manner, so that only the connection of the heating device to an in-house central heating system is necessary, the thermostatic valve in particular no longer being important in the visual appearance of the heating device falls.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a heating device, in particular for central heating systems, with the features listed in claim 1.

A thermostatic valve or thermostatic head, which is helpful in solving the above-mentioned task, is defined by the features listed in the independent claims.

Advantageous configurations of the objects according to the present invention are defined by the features listed in the subclaims.

The advantages to be achieved according to the invention are based on the fact that the setting device for the valve is arranged at a distance from the valve, an actuating device being provided in the form of a rod, rack or the like, by means of which the valve device can be actuated , on one side of the valve body adjoining an actuating device which can be actuated by the actuating device or the rod, a thermostatic head adjoining the actuating device and / or the valve device.

A thermostatic valve according to the invention has the actuating device, the position or extent of which can be adjusted at least relative to the valve section or the thermostatic section, preferably with respect to both, so that the action of the thermostatic section on the valve section can be changed. An arrangement in which the valve section adjoins the thermostat section and, in turn, the actuating device has proven to be particularly advantageous. Here, minimal transverse forces or lateral guide forces occur with respect to a valve tappet, since the adjusting device acts on the thermostat section, but not directly on the valve tappet.

In this context, which is essential to the invention, reference is made to DIN EN 215 "Thermostatic Radiator Valves". This DIN is hereby expressly included in the scope of disclosure of the present invention, the technical contents listed in this DIN EN 215 also belonging to the present invention and being included in the scope of this protective right within the scope of this invention.

The arrangement mentioned makes it possible to use the actuating device to carry out remote control by hand in order to change the working range of the thermostatic valve according to the invention, the proposal according to the invention being neither cost-intensive nor susceptible to wear.

In a corresponding thermostatic head according to the invention, a thermostatic control section is provided which is able to change the volume of the thermostatic body, as a result of which the working area of the thermostatic head can also be shifted, in particular by remote control.

The thermostatic valve according to the invention or the thermostatic head according to the invention are particularly suitable for use in the heating device according to the invention, but can also be used advantageously without the heating device according to the invention. The thermostatic head according to the invention and the thermostatic valve according to the invention are particularly suitable for being incorporated into the heating device according to the invention in order to enable their integral design.

The heating device according to the invention has at least one heating plate with an upper and a lower extension, which at least together with the valve Thermostat head essentially covered. In this advantageous embodiment, the heating plate also forms the front visible front of the heating device and can cover a thermostatic valve or a thermostatic head together with an associated valve at its lower end. For example, at the upper end of this heating device, the actuating device can also be arranged on the at least one heating plate or its upper extension, so that in this embodiment of the heating device according to the invention, both the thermostatic valve and its actuating device are preassembled together with the heating plate or several heating plates for final assembly can be delivered to the construction site.

The same upper extension or an additional upper extension can also be provided on the heating device according to the invention in order to carry a handling device for the actuating device, for example a rotary knob, toggle switch or the like.

A covering can also be used to cover one or more heating plates of the heating device according to the invention, the valve device, the thermostatic head, the adjusting device and the actuating device and to form an integral heating device together with the components mentioned.

Particularly preferably, the valve is provided with a thermostatic head and adjusting device at the lower end of the heating device, and the actuating device accesses the adjusting device and thus the valve body and / or the thermostatic head from an upper end or upper area of the heating device for setting purposes. It has been found that the temperature which the thermostatic head experiences at the lower end region of the heating device according to the invention deviates only insignificantly from the room temperature. Depending on the location of the valve head and the respective flow temperature, a deviation is between 0 and 1.5 K.

However, it is advantageously also possible to provide thermal shielding, at least for the thermostatic head, which in particular radiates heat from the thermostatic head. keeps mostat head away. For example, an aluminum foil or an aluminum-coated plastic plate, styrofoam plate or the like could be provided here. An uncoated insulating plate, for example a styrofoam plate, is also suitable for shielding the termostat head.

The thermostatic valve according to the invention has an adjusting body on its adjusting device, by means of which the action of the thermostatic section on the valve section can be changed.

It is particularly advantageous if the adjusting body comprises a disc, the radius of which changes over its circumference, the disc being rotatable. The disk can advantageously be held in a guide which is supported with respect to the thermostatic head of the thermostatic valve or with respect to the valve and which acts with respect to the other section, that is to say either the valve or the thermostatic head with its radius which has been changed over the circumference. The guide can be, for example, fork-shaped and, between the two prongs of the fork in particular, support an axis or shaft with respect to the thermostatic head and / or the valve, so that the disk can be rotated, its distance from one of the functional components of the thermostatic valve is not changed. The radius which is variable over the circumference of the disc then acts in relation to the other functional component, so that turning the disc leads to an overall change in the target temperature of the thermostatic valve. If a section with a larger radius is active between the thermostatic head and the valve, the valve speaks to the regulating activity of the thermostatic head later, i.e. even at higher temperatures. If a section with a smaller radius of the disc is in the actuation position, the expansion of the thermostatic head is determined earlier, i.e. at lower temperatures have an effect on the control characteristic of the thermostatic valve.

The Ventilköφer can have an actuating plunger which is supported on the outer circumference of the disc. The adjusting body can also be a direct component of the valve section or the thermostat section. For example, the thermostat section can comprise a displaceable sleeve which provides an actuating device, for example in the form of a toothed rack or the like, with a point of application, for example in the form of a thread, a toothing or the like. If the toothed rack is adjusted relative to the adjusting body, the thermostatic head can be axially displaced in one or more guides to the valve, so that the distance between the valve and the thermostatic head can be changed. Here too, of course, a reversal of the position of the valve relative to the thermostatic head can be carried out.

In principle, it should be noted that any type of geometry that permits a change in the control characteristic of the thermostatic valve relative to the room temperature can be used as the adjusting device or adjusting body. However, because of their technical feasibility, the above and the following embodiments are preferred.

For example, a wedge-shaped adjusting body could be pushed between a plunger of the thermostatic head, which is held in place, and a plunger movable axially to the thermostatic head for actuating the valve plate in order to change the control characteristic.

Advantageously, the actuating device or the actuating body can also be influenced from a greater distance via an actuating device. This makes it possible to arrange the thermostatic valve according to the invention, for example on a lower end of the heating device according to the invention, and to adjust it from another, preferably upper end of the heating device according to the invention. A further variant of the present invention results if a thermostatic head, which is known to have a thermostatic body with a predeterminable volume and an adjusting section for presetting a valve actuation, is provided according to the invention with a thermostatic adjusting section in order to increase the volume of the thermostatic body change. This advantageously makes it possible to influence the setpoint temperature of the thermostatic valve internally by changing the volume available to the material of the thermostatic body, for example a paraffin, in order to influence its volume in response to temperature fluctuations.

The thermostat control section can in particular comprise a flexible tube, preferably a corrugated tube, which has on its inner and / or outer surface contact with the thermostat body or the thermostat material located in the thermostat body. If the corrugated tube is extended from the outside, for example, into the thermostat body, the volume is reduced and the temperature-dependent control characteristic is modified accordingly. Conversely, a corresponding pipe can of course also protrude from the valve body and be compressed to reduce the volume of the thermostat material and be pulled apart to increase the volume.

The flexible tube, in particular corrugated tube, should have a lower restoring force than the adjusting section for presetting a valve plate, so that the thermostatic adjusting section can move from a state deflected from the idle state to a state closer to the idle state without the valve actuating section being influenced thereby . Without these features, it would be possible that the thermostat setting section cannot be operated without the valve setting section already responding to the actuation of the valve plate. Conversely, however, the setting of the thermostat control section can be brought into a position closer to the idle state, the setting of the valve control section being influenced only slightly or insignificantly.

The Thermostatstel labschnitt can also have another Verdrängerköφer, for example in the form of a pin that can be pushed into or pulled out of the volume of the Thermostatköφers. In the case of a pin-like displacement body, it is expedient to seal it off via a sealing section in order to avoid loss of material of the thermostat body. It would also be possible to deform the thermostat body as a whole in order to change or reduce its volume for control purposes. The described thermostatic head according to the invention is particularly suitable for use in connection with the heating device according to the invention, since the above-mentioned features are suitable for remote control of the thermostatic head and a change in the control volumes of the thermostatic valve designed accordingly with the described thermostatic head.

It goes without saying that other types of radiators can also be designed as plate radiators according to the invention or can be designed with a thermostatic head or a thermostatic valve according to the invention. For example, tubular heating elements or other conventional types of heating elements can also be designed accordingly.

The present invention is discussed in more detail below on the basis of preferred embodiments with reference to the attached figures.

In the figures, the same or similar (provided with ', ", ...) reference signs are assigned functionally identical or functionally similar components.

1 shows an integral heating device 200 according to the invention with a thermostatic valve 10, 50, 100 according to the invention.

The heating device 200 comprises one or more heating plates 210 as well as a flow connection 202 and a return connection 206. The return connection 206 is assigned a valve body 50 of a conventional type, which flows from a pipeline system, in particular a central heating system, via a connection 204 becomes. The valve 50 can be any form of a known valve, the flow cross section of the valve preferably being able to be changed via a valve plate which is axially displaceable relative to a valve seat.

The flow connection 202 can be connected via a riser 208 to a heating plate 210 or a heating plate arrangement, as shown in FIG. 1.

Of course, the flow and return connections can also be interchanged, the valve 50 would then be provided in the flow 202 and the thermostatic head 10 would lie on the side of the heating device facing away from a cladding sheet 216, the devices 212, 214 described below along with associated components can also be moved accordingly.

The valve 50 is opposite a thermostatic head 10. The thermostatic head 10 also has the usual components, namely a thermostatic volume 12 which is equipped with a Nem thermostat material is filled, for example paraffin, wax or the like, and a corrugated tube 14 protruding into the thermostat body 12, each of which at least partially receives a spring 16 and a plunger 102. If the material of the thermostat body 12 expands, the corrugated tube 14 is compressed or pushed together in the axial direction of the corrugated tube and / or the thermostat body 12 and the spring 16 is also compressed. As a result, the tappet 102 is moved in the axial direction in order to ultimately act on the position of the valve plate in the valve 50 opposite the valve seat.

An actuating device 100 is provided between the valve 50 and the thermostatic head 10, via which the thermostatic head acts on the valve device 50. The actuating device 100 is adjusted via an actuating device 212 from the upper section of the heating body 200 via a handling device 214. The actuating device 212 is rotated via the handling device 214, the actuating device 212 acting via a connecting section or coupling section 112 on the axis 108, which is used to adjust the actuating device 100.

The actuating device 100 generally contains a device for transferring the thermal expansion of the thermostat body 12 to the valve 50 in different ways. Here, for example, a wedge can be inserted or, as shown in FIG. 1, a disk 106 with a radius that changes over the circumference can be provided, which is arranged between a plunger 102 on the thermostatic head 10 and a plunger of the valve 50 .

In this arrangement, the disk 106 of the actuating device 100 acts directly on the valve tappet. The actuating device 212 in the form of a rod, for example made of plastic or metal, can be deflected during the adjustment by the changing radius of the disk. It is advantageous here if the actuating device 100 connects to the outside of the thermostatic head 10, while the latter connects to the valve 50. The actuating device 100 can then be supported in relation to a housing or the like. The thermostatic head could then be freely displaceable in the axial direction of the valve lifter within the housing. Shear forces or cornering forces could be kept away from the valve lifter in an even more optimized manner in this embodiment than in the other embodiments according to the invention. The actuating device 212 would also no longer be deflected or bent forward.

In one possible embodiment, the disk 106 is shown in FIG. 4. The axis 108 extends through a hole 106b in the disk 106 at the lower end of the actuating device 212 in order to be able to change the setting of the disk 106. The peripheral surface 106a of the disk 106 acts on the tappet of the valve 50 in order to apply a different initial response behavior to the control function of the thermostatic head 12. The area 106c on the periphery of the disk 106 designates an area whose setting leads to the valve 50 being fully opened. Of course, the circumference of the disk 106 can also be configured differently from the special embodiment shown in FIG. 4. For example, the setting area 106a could be made smaller and steeper and the area 106c could be provided over a further circumferential area of the disk 106. Likewise, the area 106c could also be restricted to a small circumferential area, while the adjustment area 106a could be applied over almost the entire circumferential area of the disk 106.

The axis 108 is supported in the direction of the thermostatic head 10 by a support device 104, which in principle can also have the shape of a fork 104. At the end of the fork 104, a plunger 102 is provided in the direction of the thermostatic head 10, on which the spring 16 (see FIG. 1) is supported. At the front end of the fork 104, the axle 108 (see FIG. 1) is supported in recesses 104b, while the recess 104a serves to receive the disk 106. The spring 16 (FIG. 1) is supported on the shoulder which is provided on the plunger 102 in the direction of the thermostatic head 10. The fork-like guide 104 (see also FIG. 8) is itself held against rotation in relation to the thermostatic head 10 in a guide 110 (FIGS. 1, 3), the fork being accomplished in respective guides 110c. The disk 106 rotates perpendicular to the plane spanned by the two fork tines of the fork 104 within the cavity 110b of the guide housing HO. The outer circumference of the disk 106 comes to lie opposite the sections 110a of the guide housing 110.

The fork 104 can be viewed as a slide which is axially or coaxially displaceable to the valve lifter and which absorbs all cornering forces or keeps it away from the valve lifter.

If the handling device 214 is now rotated by hand or in some other way, this rotation is transmitted via the rod 212 and the coupling 112 to the axis 108, which in turn transmits the rotary movement to the disk 106. The axis 108 is supported with respect to the thermostatic head 110 by means of the fork 104 and the plunger 102 and the spring 16, and the temperature-related expansion or contraction movements of the thermostatic body 12 are thereby transferred to the axis 108 and thus to the disk 106 transfer. The valve tappet of the valve 50 is acted upon via the outer circumference 106a, 106c, a certain section of the outer circumference of the disk 106 taking effect depending on the actuation of the handling device 214 and the valve tappet sooner or later starting from a corresponding predetermined temperature to the thermal Movement of the thermostat body 12 can respond.

The entire heating device shown is at least integrally surrounded in the direction of the room by a housing 200 or the associated cladding panels, which can preferably be made of sheet metal or plastic.

Overall, FIG. 1 shows an integral heating device according to the invention and a thermostatic valve which can also be operated remotely. A further embodiment according to the present invention can be seen in FIG. 2. Here the response characteristic of a thermostatic valve 10 ', 50', 100 'is changed by changing the position of the thermostatic head 10' or at least the thermostatic body (12 according to FIG. 1) relative to the valve 50 '.

A handling device 214 'is provided on the front plate 216' of the heating element 200 'and the rotation on the actuating wheel of the handling device 214' is transmitted via an actuating device 112 'to a toothed rack 108' which, for example, rotates the thermostatic head 10 'via the deflection gearwheels. or its thermostat body as a whole is adjusted relative to the tappet of the valve 50 'in order to thereby change the response characteristic of the thermostatic valve as a whole. As can be seen from FIG. 6, a section 10'e of the housing 10'f can be provided, for example, with a toothing in connection with a guide or a different structure, which can be used to determine the response to change the characteristic of the thermostatic head 10 'by changing the axial spacing of the thermostatic head 10' or its housing 10'f with respect to the valve and in particular its actuating plunger (not shown) by advancing or retracting the rack 108 '. The thermostatic head 10 'has openings 10'c so that the thermostatic body 12 (see FIG. 1) can come into direct contact with the ambient air. The surface 108'b serves to guide the rack 108 ', particularly during assembly. The toothed strip 108'a actuates the thermostat body 12 or the valve either directly or, if appropriate, via one or more toothed wheels (not shown).

The actuating device 212 'can be advanced by adjusting the handling device 214', for example by means of a deflection device, for example a conical gear or the like.

An actuating plunger can enter into the housing 10'f according to FIG. 6 via the opening 10'd, on the one hand, with the thermostat body 12 and, on the other hand, with the actuating plunger of the valve 50 '(see FIG. 2). The cavity 10'a takes the Thermostat body 12, the thermostat body 12 being radially secured by the housing wall 10'b.

FIG. 7 shows a very advantageous embodiment of a thermostatic head according to the invention which, as usual (see FIG. 1), has a housing 11 "in which the thermostatic body 12", for example made of paraffin or the like, is arranged. A corrugated tube 14 "points into the housing 11" and is provided with a sealing section 14 "a, on the one hand to prevent the material of the thermostat body 12 from escaping and on the other hand to provide an abutment for the plunger 102 (see FIG. 1) If the material of the thermostat body 12 "expands due to the temperature, the corrugated tube 14" is compressed and the tappet 102 is axially forward in the direction of the valve 50, 50 via the sealing section 14 "a or the abutment 14" a 'moved.

Conversely, the cooling of the Thermostatköφers 12 "leads to a vacuum in the housing 11", whereby the corrugated tube 14 "is stretched and thus the sealing portion or the abutment 14" a is retracted by the valve spring into the Thermostatköφer 12 ". As a result, the plunger 102 is consequently also set back due to the temperature in order to ultimately open the valve more.

The thermostatic control section 108 "also functions in a corresponding manner. This also has a flexible pipe section 108" a, into which a rod 212 ', 212 advantageously projects. By advancing this actuating device 212, 212 ', the flexible tube 108 "a and thus also the sealing section 108" b is expanded into the thermostatic body 12 ", whereby the volume of the thermostatic body is reduced, whereby the preferably at least approximately linear expansion characteristic of the Material of the thermostat body 12 "begins its thermal expansion from a different point and, in other words, begins to regulate the valve or the room temperature from a different temperature.
